tom swift among the diamond makers

 Before William Wallace was betrayed and killed he won a battle with brilliant strategies. It was the battle of the sterling bridge he had heard that a large contingent of troops was moving towards him about sixty thousand foot soldiers and Wallace had maybe twenty thousand troops all poorly equipped. His plan was to wait until half of his men had crossed the bridge than enemies men so they waited to watch the mightiest army in the world at that time in all their gallantry and pomp and glittering steel line up in battle formation. When half of the men had made it across they charged down upon letting loose clouds of dart and arrows so no one else could get across the bridge and Wallace was in the thick of it with his five-foot-long sword sixty pounds of pure steel.
