For God's sake,

the French army is made of.

Good.

As soon as they pass the hill,

they can open fire over the fort.

Artillery!

Move forward!

Move forward!

Take the first line!

Don't take any prisoners!

This way!

Surround them!

Get me some wine.

- Doctor Ruiz?

- Yes?

We are medical students.

We came to help.

Welcome. Get on. And put that away,

you're not going to need it.

Tell Mrs. Soledad to hurry up.

As soon as we get the order,

we'll go to the battlefield.

Tie those horses, quickly!

Come on, hurry up!

Come on!

Hold your positions!

Fire!

Fire!

Surround them!

Come on!

We give up!

Enough, We give up!

- Kill them!

- No, no!

Prepare your positions!

Prepare your positions!

Vache!

Try to reach the front

from the north side.

We'll attack from the center

and get the artillery focused in that point!

Get ready to attack!

We are going to vanquish them

for the honor of France!

Fire!

Cannon number three, fire!

- Take your positions!

- Ready.

- Fire!

Attack them!

Cannon number two, fire!

Cannon number three, fire!

Your men are recovering,

General Lorencez.

We are going to attack them simultaneously,

as we have planned.

I'm sure with this second attack,

we'll reach Fort Guadalupe.

And we'll take it.

Let's go!

Fire!

Fire!

If they get closer, we won't be able to use

the artillery, or we'll hurt our troops.

- Prepare infantry.

- Yes, sir. Come on!

Fire!

Fire!

Vache, take your men

to the north side!

Soldiers!

Come with me!

Come with me!

Come on!

Come on!

Almonte! They're Almonte's men!

- Almonte!

- Almonte!

Almonte!

They are not our men!

It's their cavalry!

Fire!

The cavalry!

Fire!

Fall back! Fall back!

Vache, order them to fall back!

- Come on, fall back!

- Fall back!

- Cover the right wing!

-Right wing, come on!

Prepare yourselves

to defend our position!

Fire!

Fire!

Cavalry! Fall back!

Infantry, move forward!

Ready!

Fire!

Attack them!

That is their cavalry!

General.

We must consider retreat.

General?

General!

No!

The French army will never be defeated

by a bunch of peasants!

This is not over yet.

Guards, follow me!

We have stopped the second attack,

but they will certainly come back!

Rain is falling, that will make it

hard to use the artillery. Hurry!

- Pick up our casualties.

- Yes, sir.

Inform the President

about the situation.

General, I think

we should attack them first.

- We could take them by surprise.

- I understand, General Diaz.

But our strategy will still be

to defend ourselves.

We don't have enough ammunition

or men to attack them.

- General...

- Porfirio, be patient!

You will be in combat very soon.

Hold your position.

Wait for my orders.

They're badly injured!

Help the injured!

Also help the French.

- Hurry up.

- Doctor, here.

- That man.

- Wait, they'll come for you.

Soldier!

My God! Doctor, this man

is bleeding too much!

Keep pressure on the wound.

Can you walk?

Can you walk? Yes?

Okay, go to the hospital!

Take him to the fort

with the others!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Take your positions! Fire!

Cannon number one, fire!

Cannon number two, fire!

General!

General, our men are exhausted.

The field is lost and the Mexicans

are fighting to the death!

I don't care, Sergeant!

Focus our attack on Fort Guadalupe

with all the strength we have!

I want you to take it now!

Understand?

Yes, General.

Fauvet!

General.

Take some men

and be our scouting patrol.

We will hit them on the head.

- Yes, General!

- Fauvet!

Don't disappoint me!

Vache, come with me!

Excuse me, General.

No one told us we were going to invade,

but to release.

Being prisoners doesn't allow you

to take our medals.

What medals?

Apparently, some of our men

took their medals.

Order them to give them back.

To treat them with respect,

I'm not going to tolerate...

- Take them!

-Cover the General!

The French are coming!

- Take your positions!

- Defend our positions!

Ignacio, get in!

Get in!

Cover them!

To the infirmary!

Take the injured inside! Move!

Hurry up! Take the injured inside!

Keep shooting!

And the doctor?

Where is the doctor?

Come on!

Hold on, Lieutenant!

General.

- We have men.

- I'll go with some men to the battlefield.

- But General...

- Do your duty and I'll do mine!

I beg you, stay here

and command the battle.

Our country needs you.

I want General Diaz

to continue with our plan.

Move!

Yes, General.

Captain, what's keeping you

from destroying those cannons?

- I'll do it immediately, sir!

- And the rest of you...

Attack them!

Fire!

Fire!

Attack them!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

- Save his leg!

- Change the water.

This man is dying!

I hear the cannons again!

The French are attacking us again.

Help me!

Put some pressure on the wound.

- I don't know...

- Pressure, hard! Talk to him!

Look at him.

Put more pressure on the wound!

Doctor Ruiz has gone, so I will have

to be in charge. I'll send you a doctor.

- What's your name?

- Juan...

Manuel.

No, no. Easy, easy.

- Don't leave me alone.

- You are not going to die.

You...

Nurse!

Somebody help me out here!

Attack them!

Cover your position!

Come on!

Don't let them pass!
