"General Conrobel, please allow me to lead the Zhuaff regiment to kill these ignorant guys!"

Facing the provocation of the Cossack cavalry, Brigadier General Bazin, who couldn't hold back his anger, came to General Conrobel on horseback and suggested in a low voice.

As the forward commander of the expeditionary force, General Conrobel did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation in his heart, and silently calculated the distance between the two and the impact of the wind on the bullet.

no! This distance is still not enough! Can't effectively wipe them out!

After General Conrobel silently came to a conclusion in his heart, he shook his head to signal Bazin not to get excited.

The Cossack cavalry troop opposite the Zhuav regiment saw that the Zhuav regiment still did not move, their courage gradually increased, and they began to test the range of the Zhuav regiment little by little.

Nearly a hundred Cossack cavalrymen approached the Zhuav regiment and spread out to form an arc.

When the Cossack cavalry came to a position about 300 meters away from the Zhuav regiment, Conrobel immediately made up his mind.

He stretched out his right hand and waved lightly, and Brigadier General Bazin, who was standing beside him, ran to the commander of the horizontal formation and shouted, "Fire!"

"Fire!" The company commander also shouted when he saw this.

The Zhu Afu regiment who received the instruction did not hesitate at all and pulled the trigger together.

Intensive gunshots sounded from the Zhuav regiment camp. The bullets revolved along the rifling in the muzzle at the initial speed given by the gunpowder, and then charged towards the Cossack cavalry at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

At such a speed, the Cossack cavalry could not make an effective response strategy at all.

One second they were still smiling, but the next second they felt a sharp pain in their chests. The red blood stained the green military uniforms, and the war horses also let out a scream. fell to the ground.

The Cossack cavalry, which originally numbered nearly 100, lost more than 30 after a round of shooting.

The remaining Cossack cavalry looked at the Zhuav regiment opposite them in horror. They did not understand why the Zhuav regiment could shoot so accurately at such a long distance.

Under the horrified eyes of the Cossack cavalry, the infantrymen in the first row squatted down to load ammunition, and the infantrymen in the second row raised their rifles to face the Cossack cavalry.

"The second team, fire!"

Brigadier General Bazin's instructions reached the Zhu'af regiment's ears again, and the second row of Zhu'af members pulled the trigger again.

After the sound of gunfire, more than 30 Cossack cavalrymen fell to the ground.

The remaining more than 30 Cossack cavalry did not hesitate to turn their horses to escape the battlefield. However, they didn't know that it was too late to flee now.

"The third team, shoot!"

Brigadier General Bazin's angry roar reached the Cossacks' ears again, and more than 20 Cossack cavalrymen fell down at the third shot.

Only less than ten Cossack cavalrymen were able to escape from the guns of the Zhuav regiment. Seeing the group of Cossack cavalry fleeing in a hurry, the Zhuav regiment burst into cheers.

At this point, the fear of the Cossacks in the French army was completely eliminated. Connobel nodded with satisfaction, and issued an order to Brigadier General Bazin next to him to clean up the battlefield.

Brigadier General Bazin quickly dispatched personnel to clean up the battlefield, and then reported the death toll of the Cossacks to General Conrobel.

The whole journey took less than an hour.

"Your regiment did a great job!" General Conrobel praised General Bazin.

Immediately under the order of General Conrobel, the Zhuav regiment returned to its original position.

Somerset and the others, who were bystanders in this war, were also amazed by the Zhu'af regiment's skillful skills and neat movements.

Although their team was able to repel the Cossack cavalry like the Zhuav regiment, it was far from the level of skillful cooperation of the Zhuav regiment. This kind of cooperation requires thousands of times of battlefield cooperation to cultivate a tacit understanding.

Neither the Scottish Musketeer Regiment nor the Sardinian Chasseur Regiment have the same large-scale combat experience as the Juaff Regiment.

After all, not everyone has a training ground that is close to the mainland, and where there are constant rebellions.

After reorganizing the team, General Conrobel led the troops to continue to advance until they reached a place less than 2 kilometers away from the Silistra fortress. Major General Conrobel ordered the troops to stop.

Riding on the horse, he picked up the telescope again, and looked at the flag on the Silistra fortress in the distance through the lens of the telescope.

It is the symbol of the Ottoman Empire! It seems that the Silistra Fortress has not been lost!

Connobel murmured something silently in his heart, and then ordered the troops to build trenches here to meet the upcoming Russian army's attack.

Conrobel is going to attract a portion of the Russian army here, so as to share the pressure on the Silistra fortress.

As long as Conrobel stands near the Silistra fortress for a few days, the follow-up troops will definitely be able to arrive here.

At that time, the Russian army will face the dilemma that the Silistra fortress is currently facing.

Just when Conrobel ordered the troops to build trenches and wait for the arrival of the Russian army, Prince Paskevich, who was located in the Russian stronghold near the Silistra fortress, also received the arrival of the British and French forces at the Silistra fortress. nearby information.

It was the Cossack cavalry who had escaped from the battlefield who conveyed this information, but the information that the Cossack cavalry handed over to Prince Paskevich was very different from the real situation of the French army led by Major General Canrobert.

"What? You detected a contingent of 300,000 people coming towards the Silistra fortress!" Prince Paskevich asked the Cossack cavalry in a questioning tone.

"That's right! The commander is indeed 300,000 people!" The Cossack cavalry replied confidently to Prince Paskevich.

Fearing punishment from their superiors, the Cossacks played word games with Prince Paskevich.

The figure of 300,000 was based on information he received from captured Turkish soldiers, who had no idea of ​​the true number of General Conrobel's troops.

"Okay! I understand, let's go!" Prince Paskevich waved, and the two Cossack cavalry left Paskevich's tent.

"300,000 people? How is that possible! Those two guys must be afraid of being punished, so they deliberately exaggerate the information!" Prince Paskevich, who was alone in the tent, said to himself, mocking the corners of his mouth. smile.

This smile is not only a mockery of the two Cossack soldiers for lying about the military situation, but also a mockery of the entire Russian Empire's army.

In a team where even investigators need to lie to avoid being punished, how much real information can he, the prince, grasp, and how much real information can His Majesty Nicholas I, who is far away in Moscow, grasp.

Perhaps the information he handed over to His Majesty Nicholas I had already been transferred by some guys who did not want to face the current situation of the Russian Empire before he arrived.

Or maybe His Majesty Nicholas I didn't want to get real information at all.

Thinking of this, Prince Paskevich couldn't help but feel a sadness for the situation of the Russian Empire. This kind of powerlessness that he knew that the building was about to collapse, but there was nothing he could do, filled Prince Paskevich's heart. Paskevich had no choice but to calm down and think calmly.

Prince Paskevich had no choice but to order that General Gorchakov, who was supervising the battle on the front line, be called over.

When General Gorchakov arrived at the camp, Prince Paskevich once again looked at Gorchakov on the bed where he was lying, and said, "How is the situation at the front? There is no possibility of breaking the Silisstra fortress?"

General Gorchakov shook his head and said solemnly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the fortress in the near future!"

"Damn it! We've already filled this place with an unknown number of lives, why is it still unable to break through!" Prince Paskevich complained in despair.

Since the general offensive was launched at the end of February, the Guards Division, the Thirteenth Corps, and the Fourteenth Corps have launched no less than thirty attacks, tilting several thousand tons of artillery shells towards the Silistra fortress.

But there is still no way to break the Silistra Fortress... Not to mention the Silistra Fortress, not even the "Tabia" in front of the Silistra Fortress.

Moreover, the loss of personnel caused by the Ottoman Empire to the Russian Empire exceeded the expectations of the Russian generals.

Nearly two weeks of frenzied bastions have caused the Russian Empire to lose more than 8,000 soldiers (among them dead ~ www.novelhall.com ~ sick and injured cumulatively 5,000), and nearly 1/4 of the guard division remained in " Below the bastion of Tabia, a small half of the Thirteenth Legion remained in the trenches.

So much so that Prince Paskevich had to give up the previous arrangement and pulled the Fourteenth Army into the attack on the Silistra fortress.

But within a few days, the 14th Corps also suffered heavy casualties.

The rising casualty figures made the Thirteenth Army, the Fourteenth Army, and the Guards Division complain quite a bit about Paskevich, and rumors began to circulate in the barracks that Prince Paskevich deliberately let these three Rumors that the army was sent to death so that the Polish army of their own could take advantage of the fisherman.

Prince Paskevich, who was originally dissatisfied with the storm demanded by Moscow, was even more heartbroken by these rumors.

He also simply did not go to the front line to supervise the battle, and let General Gorchakov of the 13th Corps and the 14th Corps go to supervise the battle. He himself sat in the barracks and thought about how to use the Russian army to get out of this meat grinder-style battle.

However, after thinking about it for several days, Prince Paskevich didn't think of any way.

"Your Majesty, the Silistra Fortress is an area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is normal for the attack to be frustrated!"
