A grenade and bayonet fight starts!

The battle ends. Unfortunately for the british, no infantry manages to reach this part of the front in time. A discussion between the commanders seems to suggest that the british should have formed a defensive line on the second line of hills, to avoid gunfire and to be able to fire from a distance to the approaching enemy.
But Jerusalem is only a few hours of march away!
