At 4 pm on January 22, 1879, at the Rock Ferry battle, Captain Chard of the Royal Engineering Corps led the British 24th Infantry Regiment B Company with 139 officers and men against the Zulu King’s brother Dabulamanzi kaMapande commanded by more than 4,000 Zulu soldiers naked. Naked crazy charge. The symbol of the British Empire: each Martini-Henry 4-5 caliber M1871 rifle (rate of fire 12 rounds/min, effective range of 950 meters) that has to pay eight shillings for the patent fee is majestic and majestic, shooting more than 20,000 rounds bullet. The throwing distance of the Zulu javelin is more than 60 meters.

When the British army had only 900 bullets left, the Zulu warriors also reached a critical point. They rested until 7 am on the 23rd. They were singing a chilling battle song. Lieutenant General Cesije led the British army to come for reinforcements. . In the 11-hour battle, the British army was killed 17 and seriously injured 14; the Zulu killed at least 370 in battle, with countless casualties. The film faithfully records the bloody battle and the courage of the two sides: it feels like death, and will not panic under any circumstances. British officers and soldiers with different personalities are extremely artistic. The Zulus let go of the Swedish missionaries twice, which shows that the editors and directors are not discriminatory.
