The British, French, and Turkish coalition forces stopped on the north bank of the Alma River, and then arranged in 2-3 columns in units of companies. The distance between the columns was about 10 meters.

Looking at the Kurgan Mountain and Telegraph Mountain on the south bank of the Alma River to the north bank, you can clearly see the endless line.

Even soldiers who had confidence in the Russian Empire couldn't help feeling a wave of fear at the more than 100,000 coalition troops on the south bank.

As for the generals of the Russian Empire, that is another view.

Prince Menshkov, who is both the Governor of Crimea and the Caucasus, has an unprecedented boost of self-confidence after a wave of sneak attacks. He believes that with more than 50,000 people in his hands, he will be able to defend for a few weeks!

As long as he can persist until His Majesty Nicholas I sends someone to come to support, then he can form a double-teaming situation with the troops who came to support him, and let these allied troops know how powerful he is.

The generals under Prince Menshkov had no knowledge of the armies of Britain, France, and Satu. They were confident that as long as the coalition troops dared to approach them, it would be the death of the coalition troops.

The weak coalition troops will not be the opponents of the great Russian Empire in the bayonet competition. They only need to wait in the Kurgan Mountains to send wave after wave of coalition troops to death.

In this way, the lower-level soldiers of the Russian Empire did not know the thoughts of the upper-level officers, and the upper-level officers also disdain to know the thoughts of the lower-level soldiers of the Russian Empire. Under the premise that the upper and lower levels are divided, the Russian Empire is destined to face failure.

As for the coalition forces, the old General Pelissier, the commander-in-chief of France, quickly returned to a wooden house near the sea at the rear of the team after seeing (part of) the situation on the south bank of the Alma through a telescope.

The old General Pelissier, who entered the wooden house, saw Brigadier General Trosch, who was in charge of the wooden house. At this time, Brigadier General Trosch was leading a group of staff of the General Staff to add some details to the map on the south bank of the Alma River. The arrival of the old General Ye made Brigadier General Trochu briefly stop his work and salute General Pelissier: "Commander Pelissier!"

"Yeah!" Pelissier nodded indifferently, and then asked Trosch, "How is your map redrawn?"

"Some parameters are missing!" Brigadier General Trosch responded to Pelissier.

"What parameters?" Perissier asked Brigadier General Trosch.

"The military deployment of the Russian Empire, and the location of the artillery!" Commodore Trosch responded to Pelissier.

"What method are you going to use to get it! Our army is not very close to Alma! The enemy's artillery is always aimed at us!" Pelissier responded to Brigadier General Trosch all the way.

"Commander, we don't need to approach!" Brigadier General Trosch responded to General Pelissier, "Please come with me!"

After speaking, Brigadier General Trosch left the cabin, and Pelissier also left the cabin with Brigadier General Trosch.

Under the guidance of Brigadier General Trosch, General Pelissier came to an open space where a colorful rag, a "brazer", and a basket large enough for two people were stacked.

"This is..." General Pelissier asked General Trosch while looking at the pile of junk in front of him.

"Commander, please wait a moment!" Brigadier General Trosch responded to General Pelissier, and then ordered the engineers in the open space to assemble all the broken copper and iron in Pelissier's eyes.

It took dozens of soldiers from the Paris Engineering University to assemble for about an hour, and finally put all the "junk" together.

When the engineer ignited the fuel in the metal brazier, the rag seemed to be bulging after being blessed by some kind of force.

"This is..." Pelissier looked at the scene in front of him with a look of surprise.

"Your Excellency Commander, this is a hot air balloon!" Brigadier General Trosch introduced the principles and uses of hot air balloons to Pelissier.

After hearing Brigadier General Trosch's introduction, Perissier couldn't help but sighed: "What a great invention! Did you invent this thing?"

"The person who invented it has already died in the time of poor King Louis XVI!" Brigadier General Trosch shrugged and responded to General Pelissier.

"Really! Why didn't anyone think of using this method to investigate before!" Pelissier complained in a low voice.

"Because it's easy to want this thing to float in the air, but it's very difficult to make it come down! If you don't make trouble, you will die!" Brigadier Trosch replied to Pelissier.

Gu Zhi

It was the uncertainty of manned hot air balloons that brought the technology to a complete halt after Louis XVI.

"Human life? The most indispensable thing in the army is human life!" Pelissier replied to Brigadier General Trosch with an indifferent expression, and then looked at the gadget in front of him obsessively: "This thing will help us. It's too big, even if it loses a company!"

Subsequently, Pelissier gave Brigadier General Trosch an order to lift off, and the manned hot air balloon carrying the staff flew into the sky.

In order to prevent the hot air balloon from being affected by the wind and flying to the camp of the Russian Empire, Brigadier General Trosch specially installed a rope on the gondola of the hot air balloon. People on the ground can control the balloon through the rope, so that the balloon will not fly out. the control of the coalition.

The manned hot air balloon slowly lifted off, and soon reached a height of more than 600 meters above the ground. The staff on the balloon watched the Russian Imperial Army on the south bank of the Alma River with binoculars, while marking the Russian Imperial Army in Alma. The location of the soldiers on the south bank of the river.

When the soldiers on the south bank of the Alma River saw the hot air balloon, they couldn't help but shouted: "Oh! My God! Look what that is!"

When the first Russian imperial soldier found the staff member on the manned balloon, he immediately told the soldiers next to him, and then passed it ten or ten, and the soldiers on the Kurgan Mountain and the Telegraph Mountain found the manned balloon. , many soldiers tried to shoot down the manned balloon with a musket, only to find that they could not reach the staff on the manned balloon at all.

Although Prince Menshkov knew that the guy floating in the sky was likely to tell the coalition forces on the ground about their troop deployment, Prince Menshkov had nothing to do, and his troops could not conduct large-scale Transfer, any transfer may become a precursor to collapse.

Another 20 minutes passed, and all the deployment of Arma was recorded. The staff quietly waited for the whereabouts of the hot air balloon.

The flames on the brazier weakened over time, as did the manned hot air balloon.

Twenty-five minutes later, the hanging basket slowly fell to the ground, and Commander Pelissier and Brigadier General Trosch applauded the warrior in front of him at the same time.

The staff officer showed a shy smile at the corner of his mouth, and then handed over the Alma deployment he had recorded in the sky to Brigadier General Trox.

Commander Pelissier and Brigadier General Trosch returned to the hut again, and Brigadier General Trosch lowered the deployment on the other side of the Arma River to the other staff members in the hut.

The staff in charge of the Crimean peninsula moved into action, adding troops to the drawn floor plan.

After Commander Pelissier waited quietly for more than an hour, the staff of the expeditionary force commander finally put the drawing of the Alma River in front of Pelisier.

Brigadier General Trosch suggested to Pelissier: "In view of the serious shortage of the Russian Imperial Army in the Telegraph Hill area, our proposal is to use part of the troops to attack the Akurgan Hill, creating an all-out attack. The posture of the Kurgan Mountains firmly fixed the soldiers deployed by Menshkov on the Kurgan Mountains, and then selected some soldiers from the left and right flanks to form a pincer attack..."

"Very well said!" Pelissier praised Brigadier General Trosch with a surging heart.

Then he returned to the front line with the plan provided by Brigadier General Trosch.

At this time, the Russian Imperial Army and the British Army on the Kurgan Mountains had already begun to fight. Nearly one hundred heavy artillery pieces of the Russian Empire (some of which were dismantled from naval guns) began to launch a fierce attack in the direction of Britain. The British Kingdom also did not want to be outdone. The 6-pound artillery in his hand launched an attack on the Russian Imperial Army.

After the two sides fired nearly a thousand shells, the Russian Empire killed more than 100 people, and the British Kingdom's casualties were only about 70 or 80 people.

Artillery has gradually become a deterrent weapon in the war~www.novelhall.com~ Fewer and fewer soldiers died on the gun, and more and more died on the rifle.

After greeting each other with artillery, the British kingdom began to attack.

The British Kingdom, lined up in three rows, is still advancing towards the Kurgan Mountains of the Russian Empire with rigid tactics. The Russian Empire soldiers in the trenches and bastions around Kurgan are seeing British soldiers walking on the river and erecting planks. when they try to pull the trigger.

It was a pity that the musket at a distance of 300 yards could not hit the British army at all. Instead, the British kingdom, which had crossed the Alma River, could use the Mignet gun in its hand to shoot at the soldiers of the Russian Empire in Mount Kurgan.

After a round of shooting, the firepower of the Russian Empire soldiers was crushed by the British Kingdom.

The soldiers of the Russian Empire had no choice but to seek the help of the artillery. This time the artillery finally did not have the stroke artillery technique when shooting in the opposite direction, and the solid shells were fired towards the foot of the Kurgan Mountains.

The soldiers of the British Kingdom were smashed to death by solid shells one after another. After seeing this scene, Commander Raglan hurriedly ordered his subordinate Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The British soldiers who crossed the Alma River receded like a tide.
