Defeating the Zulus in the Plains of Inkutu

A large zulu force had been spotted on the plains of enkutu, heading east. Chelmsford had left explicit orders to keep the 18 hundred men at isanda juana together in case of attack. Dernford thought chalmsford was too cautious and decided to disobey orders. He led his 400 men north east, parallel to the plains ofEnkutu,. The scouts quickly brought word to the cmp that the zulus were coming. By the time durnford received the news, he could look up to the ridge above him and see a line of zulus streaming down the slope. They seemed to have been meditating on the imminent battle.
