 A road was cut to the village and the Black Watch led the way, forming square in the clearing with the Rifle Brigade, while flanking columns moved around the village.With the pipes playing "The Campbells Are Coming" the Black Watch charged with bayonets and the shocked Ashantis fled.The flank columns were slow moving in the jungle and the Ashantis moved around them in their normal horseshoe formation and attacked the camp to the rear.
