I'm afraid the previous commentator has got his history very wrong. The story is set in the 1860s during the late Ching Dynasty; so "early Chin and Ming armies" is complete cobblers. Both the Ching government troops and the Taiping rebels were bankrolled and supplied with firearms by the Western powers who wanted to spread their bets on which side came out as the victor. Hence the firepower depicted in the film is historically accurate. But I have to say those trenches for the Suzhou siege were a bit "O-O-T" but Sir, the Marginot line was not made of trenches, trenches actually belonged to the 1st World War !!!
The film is great overall though. The acting is in particular top-notch.
