In all the history I have studied, I can think of only a single example of when the soldiers of an army walked off the field of battle and refused to follow orders.
That example is the 1917 Russian Revolution. Most of the Czar's army refused to defend his regime, and most of the soldiers switched sizes to join the revolutionists.
Even in cases of pure evil like Nazi Germany, the German soldiers fought to the death and believed in their cause.
I guess the Czar's army was not very well trained. If they were, they would not think but would simply do as ordered.
