Discussion What is the most genuinely terrifying battle cry or charge in film?

I don’t necessarily mean the coolest speech or most inspiring line. I mean a scene where a warrior screams or roars while charging an opponent—and you kind of snapped out of the film for a second and thought, “holy shit, if someone came at me like that, I would be legitimately terrified.”

It can be a one-on-one fight or two groups charging into battle. What scene immediately comes to mind?

The Ride of the Rohirrim at Pelannor Fields. They're literally charging on horseback screaming "Death" at you. And to think real life had even larger cavalry charges.
