The Battle of Hlobane | Zulus Vs British | Total War Cinematic Battle 

Zulu warriors besides their shield carried two assegais one a long one for throwing a shorter one for stabbing along with a club known as a knobkierie. They were trained to engage the enemy in pairs.

Excellent commentary. It would be nice to show aerial views - so that the lay of the land, position of forces, etc. etc. is more easily discerned.

Your animation and commentary are excellent. Thanks.

So windy that rifles were tumbling through the air.

I am British, but was rooting for the Zulu........such brave men

Excellent!

The battle foretold the defeat at Kambula. Ending the winning streak of the Zulus.

Spectacular vid👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This was one of the most engrossing sims yet. Well done. Communication is really really important. Doctor Stone is a Japanese Cartoon. He talks about how Communication is the most important thing in a battle.

Great channel by the way. Good idea.

nice made video, thank you. But what are these greenish things flying in the air?

I saw the original film with Michael Caine that's was just jaw dropping but honestly u should make a remake of it im sure that it will b awesome great graphics 👌

That Colour Sergeant, there right at the end...sounded awfully familiar....

GREAT GRAPHICS! It makes History come alive!

Damn how on earth did you manage to get those two horses shot and then have wood escape on his own. That must be quite difficult.

The irony, scorning Zulu marksmanship only to have a horse shot under and an officer killed next to him. That was a near Sedgwick incident.

The British seemed to underestimate the strength and tenacity of their enemy

An interesting video. I'm glad I wasn't there.

Nice work except for the video editing, specifically the debris floating through the screen. Adds NOTHING to the presentation.

Excellent storytelling.

So, no artillery in the battles ?

War is soooooo exciting ... !

This style of warfare is up close and personal. As is most warfare!!!!!

this is like a bad horror movie script. lets all split up, run upstairs, get killed off 1 at a time and make sure that we aren't paying attention to the dangers around us so it's even easier for them to sneak up on us.

Seemed like the Red Coats greatly underestimated the emy, and had horriable scouting. How hard is it to keep up with 20K?

Just curious, which TW game is this?

Yes that's the one, ✌

Imagine what it was like to feel the ground well before you heard the enemy approaching? 20K? Wow.

What's with all of the debris flying through the air?

Don't be called will on the Battle field 😮

HTF can that many zulus surprise that many soldiers?Lookouts anyone?

I would like to complain about the lack of diversity in the British ranks

Why did they order everyone to fire at poor old Will?

incredible. Now... imagine if it had been a fair fight!!!

AI has come a long way. What's next?

I remember when that happened

Why use metric distances? The British didn't during the 19th century.

I am amazed at the bravery by the Zulu!

Come on boys, jump in the van! Awoooooo!

People don’t understand that the Impi was the standard operating procedure for most of Africa. The men fought,the women looked after the households,and the children looked after the livestock. As the men were only warriors their numbers were less than those of the women so they had two or more wives. This went on for many hundreds of years creating a race of men who were fearless ,doughty warriors,as we see in the number of successful Black Boxers. The downside is that they are genetically keyed to be more aggressive and to treat women as chattels,something we in the West refuse to accept despite the evidence which is overwhelming.

Where are the bayonets?

which total war is this

Hi

You would have only one country flag flying per column.

Senseless war and death..

Hell ! Check out the lack of DEI in the Zulu impis.

How brave (or stupid) must you be to stand and face 100,000 attacking Zulus?

There goes the lobsters

Dover stopsmallboats

Lieutenant - is prouncned LEF- tenant NOT Loo -tenant. These were British Troops - not Amercian.

😇😇😇

"Lootenant"?

How about less AI and more human creatoin?

Call in the A10 warthog. Lol.

What were the war planners thinking when sending insufficient troops to slaughter against overwhelming enemy?

Period correct 🎉for period😢

Could you skip the kilometers please? Otherwise carry on.

Nope but it sure was fun .

They weren't welcomed then.

I would like to complain about the lack of diversity in the Zulu ranks

do the same now in Africa.

Just what in blazes did the zulus did to them to warrant all this sh- t,kind of reminds me of 1776

Que mentalidad tan preponente de los ingleses, se sent+ian dueños de cualquier espacio que les gustara y más si temnía tierras abundantes y minas igual que occidente con los pueblos nacionales ya que llegaron con la avaricio del oro pero pagaron con sangre sus fechoias.

Apparently the zulus had british rifles (captured) or black market---not the shields and spears they had at the1st encounters

Subdued,. You mean murdered.

Now go to Croydon …

Was it really important to invade Zulus

The Zulus were the true heroes, charging the British modern army with just spears and shields. It was a total massacre but they kept on charging. They have earned my respect and my salutes.

Empire wasn't so great was it?

Should really learn how to pronounce the names properly!

Need a British accent when telling these stories. Otherwise it just sounds like a standard non emotional National Geographic's programme.

boogaloooo

Английские войска цже в Украине За ними на подходе уже и Францйцузские------

stick your kilometres😡😡

And remember since the American Revolutionary War the ideals was blacks would never make good soldiers tell the British that in this battle LOL

Hum , load of rubbish. Yes Zulu did surprise and kill many horsemen, but this was not a battle more a reconnaissance in force which was surprised and lost many horsemen, but lead to the TOTAl defeat of the Zulu’s . This was a one sided war with only one silly mistake. Ps why do you keep playing that ridiculous words from the film Zulu by a sergeant, who in reality was the complete opposite of the actor in the film

Friendly Zulu.Thwy were beaten and forced slaves. They had little choice.

Disgusting, absolutely disgraceful.

Great show. Historically all that was for Rhodes and his public school chums and Jewish merchants. Rather like we are seeing now globally.

In today’s digital age this video is rubbish

The Brit regulars were RASIST !

Racist

The pronunciation of Hlobane is atrocious. Is it an AI voice?
