Crossword Genius

Battle leads to another general facing justice (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agincourt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'battle' is the definition.
(Agincourt is an example)

'another general facing justice' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'another' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'general' could be 'in' (similar in meaning) and 'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'leads to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agincourt that I've seen before include "English-French battle" , "1415 battle in the Pas-de-Calais" , "French village" , "Battle in Hundred Years' War" , "battle site" .)
