On the other hand, there is the heroine Agustina de Aragón, defender of Zaragoza during the siege in the Spanish War of Independence. Legend has it that when Agustina the morning saw that the French were preparing to take the city of Zaragoza, she decided to fire a cannon, with the fuse of a wounded gunner, over the French troops who were entering through the already defenseless doors, causing the French to withdraw on suspicion of a counterattack or ambush. With the withdrawal, the Aragonese managed to gain more time and thicken the defenses. And this is how the popular saying would be born: "more skill than strength."
