In the land of the pharaohs, where the Nile River flows We found a mummy, with a secret to disclose He rose from the tomb, with a wicked little grin And we learned of his love, for a forbidden sin He wrapped himself tight, in his linen so fine But his heart was aflame, with a lust divine He sought out the living, with a passion so strong And our brave British lads, sang a bawdy song Oh, the mummy’s delight, in the land of the sun He found his pleasure, in the arms of one We’ll never forget, that fateful night When the mummy’s buggery, took flight We marched through the desert, with our rifles so bright But the mummy’s allure, was a wicked delight He whispered sweet nothings, in our ears so fine And we succumbed to his charms, in that Egyptian shrine Oh, the mummy’s delight, in the land of the sun He found his pleasure, in the arms of one We’ll never forget, that fateful night When the mummy’s buggery, took flight We’ll never speak of it, in the barracks so fine But the memories linger, like the desert’s burning line Of a forbidden love, that we’ll never confess But the mummy’s buggery, will forever be the best Oh, the mummy’s delight, in the land of the sun He found his pleasure, in the arms of one We’ll never forget, that fateful night When the mummy’s buggery, took flight
So, for who wondering why british don't shoot back: Basically the reload time here is overestimated. You don't get the chance to fire 5 time in a row. It's 17th muskeet, not revolvers. Which mean you have to be cautious about when you shoot. Because if you shoot too soon, your bullet will fly far from the enemy and you aren't sure about having a second turn. So you want to wait to be in a good range before firing. Now, why the french start to fire so soon? Well, because they had better weapon, but less men. In their case, it actually made sense to fire as bullet as they could, cause once in contact they would lose their advantage. On the other hand, british tactic was to go as close as possible, do a mass fire, using numbers to cause massive dammage, then charge with bayonets.
If you search for this song, you will see that there are two uploads with more than 10 million views. This one and another one that has its comments disabled. Do you know why they were disabled? Because of a deranged white supremacist who killed innocent civilians in New Zealand. While filming his evil deed, the song that was playing on his car stereo was this one and "Gas Gas Gas."
Muskets are a very imprecise weapon, plus they were a new weapon for the time, they tried to do something similar to what machine gun fire does today by standing in a row. In some cases it was more effective to approach the enemy with bayonets instead of constantly shooting and reloading. It may not be the best tactic but it's what we had back then, when the musket was basically a miniature artillery cannon. Consider that not long ago formations like this were common for spearmen and frontline soldiers with melee weapons. I'm not sure about the context of the video but they probably relied on their numerical superiority and advanced with bayonets to sweep the enemy position, and although it is not directly visible in the video, they manage to reach the enemy.
@@Pikkabuu More movement with I’m up, they see me, i’m down. And keep repeating that. Reason being, it’s harder to hit targets popping up randomly like gophers and taking pop shots at you versus just standing there marching forward with a red jacket on, making it a easier for a background to see a site picture and site alignment faster. Then once close enough, QCB with blades and battle axes or hammers. Just like in ancient times.
@@deeznutz3958 So basically just slow the unit down a ton and create tons of confusion. And you do understand that pure melee was dropped fast because it wasn't feasable? So your suggestions would only make units that have worse equipment, the troops waste tons of time and stamina jumping up and down, are slower to move anywhere and commanding them is far harder as the troops could be hugging the ground at a bad moment!
By all historic accounts, the british infantry in this time period were absolute beasts. Disciplined, brave, and good at what they did. They would march straight up to the enemy's face before unleashing a volley from 30 yards away or so, and then bayonet charge. It must have been a terrifying sight to see, a moving mass of red marching inexorably towards you, seemingly unfazed by their comrades falling all around them.
@@Pikkabuu I don’t know about wars and troops less, but I think to be in files so near, each soldier and front the shot is not the way. They can distribute themselves in smaller groups, advance and attack from the flanks for example
@@tuliopita8150 Then you should educate yourself! And your suggestions are really bad...first of all why would the enemy allow themselves to be flanked? And second small groups would be easy prey for enemy cavalry and infantry. So you would be basically painting a target on your forehead and jumping up and down in front of the enemy.
To any European, our ancestors were a bunch of mad fckers. How can we roll over and die to islamic mass migration without a fight, if this is the stock we all hail from ??????
C'est tellement rare de les voir attaquer les premiers. S'ils avaient fait ça à Waterloo, l'Angleterre n'existerait plus. Ceci dit, la musique accompagnant cette marche vers la mort est superbe.
