"Don't tell others what I said to you!"
Sitting on the bed, Prince Paskevich took Mikhail Gorchakov's hand and said heart-to-heart.
"But Your Majesty, it's not good for you to keep pretending to be sick like this! Sooner or later, Your Majesty will scold you for this!" General Gorchakov leaned into Prince Paskevich's ear and whispered: "I I once heard a rumor that His Majesty the Tsar secretly placed his third hall among the various troops, so that he could grasp the situation of the troops in time!"
"It's not a secret!" Prince Paskevich seemed to have already known about these things, and he responded in a flat tone: "It's just that we don't think His Majesty the Tsar knows, and he is attracted to him as a confidant. Count Orlov himself told us about this long ago!"
Hearing Prince Paskevich's words, Gorchakov's heart was like a rock slapped by the overwhelming waves: "Then you still..."
"I don't want to do these meaningless things!" Paskevich said to Gorchakov in a sincere tone: "What the Russian Empire needs to do now is reform, not aimless expansion here!"
Then, Paskevich responded freely to Gorchakov: "To be honest, I may completely lose the Tsar's favor because of this incident! But so what, I'm 71 years old and can still survive. How long! (Paskevich stretches out his hand and pats Gorchakov on the shoulder) You are different, you can go on! I hope that after I am ousted by the Tsar, you will treat your men well Soldiers! Don't let them make senseless sacrifices!"
Speaking of this, Prince Paskevich sighed, and General Gorchakov, who was sitting beside Prince Paskevich, was also silent.
Time and space seemed to be completely frozen at this moment. After a long time, Prince Paskevich said again, "I'm really sorry for letting you waste time listening to me, the dying old man, saying some grumbling words!"
"Please don't say that!" General Gorchakov hurriedly responded to Prince Paskevich.
Afterwards, Paskevich asked about the Gorchakov Ruse fortress.
Gorchakov reported to Paskevich about the situation of the fortress of Ruse. Since Prince Paskevich chose to divide his troops to attack, General Gorchakov, who has nearly half of the main army, ignored Paskevich. Prince Qi's orders began to target the Rouse Fortress. In the past few months, Russia has launched no less than a hundred attacks on the Rouse Fortress, and even nearly broke the bastion cluster of the Rouse Fortress several times. .
However, the Turkish army stationed in the Ruse fortress directly pushed the Russian army back with tenacious fighting spirit. Gorchakov immediately realized that the Ruse fortress was different from the Ruse more than ten years ago. He was specifically targeting the Russian Empire. The fortresses, trenches and mines built are the bane of the Russian Empire.
In the end, Gorchakov could only choose to suspend the attack, and at the same time ordered his Serbian militia (a team of Serbs who brought their own food) to attack the fortress of Rouse in order to weaken their potential.
After several tragic and **** confrontations, the Serbian militia were unwilling to continue to serve Gorchakov, and they even thought that General Gorchakov was deliberately killing their strength.
After the winter, the temperature plummeted, and his soldiers were even more reluctant to attack, so he had to sit still and fight like Prince Paskevich.
"Hey! It's not easy to fight! I don't even dare to fight!" Prince Paskevich shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "What we are facing is only the Turkish army, and we are fighting like this! If we face the British and French troops If we do, we're probably going to be completely defeated!"
"Your Majesty, in addition to paying special visits to you this time, I also want to ask you to assign my men to the legion stationed in the northwest! In this way, I can have more troops to break Luse!"
"What can you do if you break Ruse?" Paskevich asked rhetorically.
"We can follow Rouen to support Serbia!" Gorchakov responded to Paskevich.
"Doesn't the Austrian army in Transylvania need to be concerned?" Paskevich asked again.
"This... Recently, the Austrian Empire's attitude towards our country is quite submissive! They should not declare war on our country in a short time!" Gorchakov responded uncertainly.
"Once you defeat Ruse, then the Austrian Empire will definitely take action against us!" Prince Paskevich replied in a firm tone.
"But my army can't stay there forever, it's better to do anything!" General Gorchakov responded to Prince Paskevich.
"Let's do it! You bring all your troops here, and let's merge together!" Paskevich replied to Gorchakov.
"What about the Turkish troops in the fortress of Ruse? Is it really okay to just leave them alone?" Gorchakov asked Paskevich in a somewhat unconfident tone.
"Don't worry, I know them! They will never dare to pursue them!" Prince Paskevich responded confidently.
General Gorchakov obeyed Paskevich's order and set off from the Russian Empire's tent around the Silistra fortress that night, and soon arrived near the Rouen fortress, stationed around the Rouen fortress. The Russian Army announced the latest order of Prince Paskevich.
Except for the opposition of a few Serbian militia leaders, everyone present did not comply with Gorchakov's order.
Later, General Gorchakov told the leaders of the militia. If they are unwilling to go with the Imperial Russian Army, please leave the Imperial Russian Army immediately.
Gu Yan "You guys are betrayal!"
The angry Serbian militia chief accused Gorchakov with his trembling arms.
"If you are willing to think so, then I have no choice! Because this is an order issued by Prince Paskevich, and I have to obey!" Gorchakov responded to the Serbian militia chief calmly.
At 6:30 a.m. the next day, when the hazy fog was still filling the Danube in front of the Rouen fortress, the Russian Imperial Army, which had been packed up, began to move towards the Silistra fortress.
The Serbs near the Rouen Fortress were also retreating with them. Because of their blood feud with the Turks in Ruse, if they stayed any longer, they would only be tortured and killed by the Turks.
Regarding the killing of prisoners, the "civilized" Turkey still maintains a barbaric style. Anyone who wants to resist them will be punished the most severely. The slaughter of whole villages is a common thing.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Turkey stationed in the Rouen fortress found that the Russian camp on the other side seemed to be empty, and they immediately dispatched a small group of troops to investigate first.
After a while, he went to see his small unit reporting the news of the departure of the Russian Imperial Army to the Rouen Fortress.
For a time, the entire fortress fell into a carnival. In addition to the carnival, Pasha, who was stationed in the fortress, did not forget to report the news to Constantinople, in order to receive the award from Constantinople.
Of course, in the report, it is not possible to write that the Russian troops will withdraw naturally, but to write that under the leadership of Pasha, the Russian imperial army was frightened, and thus did not dare to fight against the Turkish army.
As for whether the troops that besieged the fortress of Rouse will go to Silistra, it has nothing to do with him.
After all, Silistra was not his territory.
……
After a long journey of several hours, Gorchako's team finally arrived at Silistra at the cost of five dead and twelve wounded.
Such wear and tear was commonplace in the Russian Imperial Army, no one cared about the death of a gray wound, and sometimes a serf soldier was far less expensive than an intact rifle.
Since Gorchakov abandoned the camp and came to the vicinity of the Silistra fortress, they could only use the materials on hand to rebuild the camp.
There was a day in the past when something unexpected happened.
A guy who claimed to be the tsar's special envoy entered Paskevich's tent and announced the order of Nicholas I to Prince Paskevich.
That is, Prince Paskevich will lead the Danube troops to completely defeat the defenders of Silistra in the shortest time, thus opening the way for a decisive battle with the British and French allied forces!
After conveying the order, the tsar's special envoy repeatedly emphasized that it must be completed within a short period of time. His Majesty's patience is almost exhausted!
Unexpectedly, the Tsar's speed was much faster than before~www.novelhall.com~ Paskevich couldn't help sighing.
He knew that this might be his last attack, after this attack was over.
If he has not broken the Silistra fortress, he will be retired or dismissed.
"Please let me prepare for a while!" Paskevich responded to the tsar's envoy.
The Tsar's special envoy nodded, and then added: "It must be as soon as possible!"
In these brief days, Paskevich asked the troops to transport all their artillery (6-pounders, cannons) to the islands in the river occupied by the Russian army, and Paskevich's will also Own command moved to the front line.
Omar Pasha in the Silistra fortress immediately realized that Prince Paskevich wanted to launch a general attack after seeing Paskevich's formation, and he quickly ordered the troops in the "Tabia" bastion. Speed up the construction of fortifications, and at the same time send small units at night to harass the Russian Empire so that it cannot work smoothly.
On the first night, the sound of gunshots came from the camp of the Russian Empire, followed by the sound of fighting each other. After the fighting gradually subsided, the Turkish troops in the dark night smoothly retreated into the fortress.
