 "Camerone-style" is in reference to the 1863 Battle of Camerone between the French Foreign Legion and the Mexican army.This desperate tactic entailed French soldiers fixing bayonets on their rifles and launching a desperate charge against the enemy, in this case Zayd's men.Landriau instructed each of his men to keep at least one round available to commit suicide should they be in danger of capture because he believed that his soldiers would be heavily tortured in captivity.
