The advance guard push all the artillery they have to break through and escape off the table.

Lots more photos of the battle in the gallery at V.S., the outcome was a Mutineer win, the British suffered heavy because of the ambush but they still managed to hold the ground for a while.
Scenario historical battles vols will be coming out soon "The Rise and Fall of the Zulu" being the first.
