What verbs and adjectives describe the actual combat of the soldiers in the poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Lord Tennyson?

You would do well to read through this famous and
excellent poem yourself to identify the fight scene. This occurs in the fourth stanza,
and pay attention to how the diction (word choice) emphasises the bravery and courage of
the soldiers who were part of this famous charge in the Crimean
War:

Flashed
all their sabres bare,

Flashed as they turned in
air

Sabring the gunners
there,

Charging an army,
while

All the world
wondered.

Plunged in the
battery-smoke

Right thro' the line they
broke;

Cossack and
Russian

Reeled from the
sabre-stroke

Shattered and
sundered.

Clearly Tennyson is
highlighting their bravery and prowess in the heat of battle. They are said to charge an
entire "army" and their sabres are described as "flashing" in the light as they attack.
The whole world (an apposite use of hyperbole) is said to "wonder" at this sight. They
"plunge" into the smoke and "break" through the line of enemies. Their enemies are
described as "reeling" from the onslaught and are "shattered and sundered." Clearly the
soldiers who participated in this most famous of military charges were immensely
effective, and yet in spite of this effectiveness we are left to question the meaning of
honour, bravery and valour when the price in human life is just so terribly
high.
