I'd Like To Add These Two Battle Cries: Haka and Zulu Chant


As good as the other eight are, and of course, that "Rebel Yell," here are two others I'd like to add to the list.

9.  Maori Haka, New Zealand.  If that one doesn't scare you and demoralize you, I don't know what will.  Go to You Tube and look up haka.  A good one is on Huffington Post where a boys' school in New Zealand does it for a teacher who died.  Also, any of the New Zealand All blacks rugby team's Hakas.

10.  Zulu War Chant. on You Tube.  From the movie "Zulu."  You can also see this on You Tube.

Eight Legendary Battle Cries-- Part 2: "Remember the Alamo"


5.  "Remember the Alamo"  Texans in the War for Independence against Mexico after the Alamo.  Vengeance.

6.  The Roman Barritus.    The Legions would usually marshal in silence, but once the enemy was encountered they launched a sound like stampeding elephants.  The late Roman Army's Barritus was a guttural sound borrowed from the Germanic tribes.  A harsh roar that built in volume.

7.  "Daus Hoc Vult"  "God Wills It."  The Crusaders used it.

8.  "Liberty or Death"--  American Revolution
