I think it might be a reference to something that happened during the Faunus Rights Revolution.

During the Third Crusade, the European tried to reclaim the lands conquered by Saladin. They managed to take over Acre, Jaffa, and reverse most of Saladin's conquests, but it failed to capture Jerusalem which was it's ultimate objective.

Now, I remember, during Jaunedice Part 2:

"The turning point in the third year of the War."

"General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured."

Maybe the 3rd Crusade was that, the human army had managed to reclaim territories that were under faunus control but failed to take over the most important of them.
