Battle of Dunkeld - Cameronians defeated the Jacobites to stop the Jacobite uprising.  Commemorated every year.

Battle of the North Inch - A clan dispute was resolved  in a 30 vs 30 battle with the King watching.  The last survivor of Clan Cameron jumped into the Tay and swam away.

Siege of Derry/Battle of the Boyne - The people of the walled city rode out the attacks til they were saved by William.  William triumphed at the Boyne, securing our country for freedom and democracy.

Battle of Drumclog - A victory for religious freedom as the persecuted Covenanters scored a victory over the Claverhouse's dragoons.

Battle of the Diamond - Persecuted Protestants defeated the Defenders and created the Orange Order to protect their people.

The offensive against Tito where Tito destroyed the bridge but still escaped across it

 

Bump but:

I think it was the Battle of Neretva. Track down a documentary called Cinema Komunisto about the Yugoslav film industry- they made a film about the battle and blew up a real bridge to recreate it. Unfortunately there was a cock up and the bridge wasn't filmed properly so they had to use model shots!

That’s cheating

You are trying to count the siege of Derry and Battle of the Boyce as a single choice in order to squeeze 6 choices onto your list of 5
