In reality the volley fire from that many troops would have prevented the natives from getting anywhere near their ranks.

1: When you say that someone was abused as a child is very offensive and could get depressed over it. 2: You tell people if they are mental could make them hostile, aggressive, and hurt by that word. 3: Fairies don't exist. You probably watch the Winx Club too much.

"Shut the fuck up." - booster_stranger this isn't a hostile comment? haha not necessarily, there are plenty of people with mental issues that aren't in hospital. A tip for when your on youtube, try not to be offended by comments you see.

There were no wagon defences...
@BrendonChase20122 жыл бұрын

@lawrence142002 Жыл бұрын
The defences on Kambula consisted of a hexagonal laager formed with wagons that were tightly locked together, and a separate kraal for the cattle, constructed on the edge of the southern face of the ridge. Trenches and earth parapets surrounded both sections and a stone redoubt had been built on a rise just north of the kraal. A palisade blocked the 100 yd (91 m) between the kraal and redoubt, while four 7-pounder guns were positioned between the redoubt and the laager to cover the northern approaches. Two more guns in the redoubt covered the north-east. Two companies were placed in the redoubt; another company occupied the cattle kraal and the remaining infantry manned the laager.

@Andrew Schneider The Zulus won at Isandlwana, Inyezane, Intombe, and Hlobane. The British won at Sihayo's Kraal, Rorke's Drift, Kambula, Gingindlovu, Eshowe, and Ulundi. There were a couple of inconclusive mountain skirmishes as well at Zungwini and Zungeni.
