The members of the Kyiv Hussars never thought that one day they would be killed by more than 50 people by their own friendly forces. What's worse, the regiment leader of their own family was also killed by a bullet of the friendly forces.

The opponents of the French-Saharan coalition also did not expect that the Russian infantry would be able to attack their own cavalry. How great is the grievance between the two sides!

And the initiator of all this, Lieutenant General Kiriako, was able to laugh heartlessly after ordering his infantry to attack his friendly army. This is simply a real rascal!



Thanks to the "assist" of Lieutenant General Kiriako, the "friend of the coalition forces", the assault brigade, which originally wanted to rely on the hollow phalanx to defend against the cavalry troops, gave up the conservative tactics under the order of Major General Bokes.

Major General Bokes, who was riding on a horse, raised the command knife in his hand and pointed the tip of the knife to the height of Telegraph Mountain and gave the order: "Listen to me all!"

All the soldiers of the assault brigade resolutely took off their rucksacks and went into battle after hearing this order from Bokais.

"I don't care if you are teammates or enemies in front of you, your task is to rush to the heights for me to knock down those **** Russians! If your teammates are down, there will naturally be follow-up medical staff to send them to the back! You guys Just give me a head and rush there! Can you hear me clearly?" Major General Boques said in a loud voice that roughly the same meaning as Sir Cambering's.

"Understood!" The members of the assault brigade in the front row also responded in unison to Major General Bosky.

"Rush me!"

With the order of Major General Bosque, all members of the assault brigade attacked the Telegraph Mountain Heights in columns.

The sound of gunfire resounded on the battlefield one after another, and the white gunpowder smoke produced by the firing of the Migne gun filled the battlefield, blocking the sight of the soldiers of the Zhuav regiment, making it impossible for them to see the Russian soldiers on the Telegraph Mountain Heights. Determined the approximate location of the Russian soldiers on Telegraph Hill and shot it.

Even so, quite a few Russian soldiers fell to the ground.

460, 426 meters, 382 meters…

The soldiers of the Juaff Regiment and the Sardinian Chasseurs walked at a constant speed, while taking out the stored Miner bullet from the backpack, tearing the package with their teeth, pouring the black powder into it, and then putting the Miner bullet into the gun. After the tube, use the push rod to compact the Mignet, then pull the trigger.

The short distance of more than 100 meters is enough for a skilled Zhuav regiment soldier to fire two bullets at the Russian imperial soldiers on the high ground. The brave and skilled Russian imperial army has not caused any casualties to the French Empire. The bullets of the assault brigade and the great Napoleon The guns were terrified, not to mention that there was also a "friend of the coalition" in their camp.

Under the attack of artillery and rifles of the French Empire, the Kyiv Hussar Regiment, which had lost its commander, first fell into collapse, and they began to flee backwards without obeying the command, in an attempt to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

The collapse of the Hussar regiment was like the first domino to fall, which had a devastating blow to the morale of the Russian Empire on the heights of Telegraph Mountain. The Moscow regiment and the Minsk regiment also could not bear the passive beating situation. Lieutenant General Kirikov completely lost confidence in the soldiers began to retreat back involuntarily.

"Come back! Don't run! You cowards! You are still not soldiers of the Empire!" Lieutenant General Kirikov, who was half-drunk and half-awake, yelled at the group of cowards in front of him. The main reason for this defeat is not the unit itself, but Lieutenant General Kirikov himself.

If it weren't for his successive strikes against the Russian imperial troops stationed on the high ground of Telegraph Hill, the three regiments (3,000 Minsk regiments, 3,000 Moscow regiments, and 1,000 Kyiv Hussar regiments) would not have been killed by France so quickly. The army is overwhelmed.

Poor Lieutenant General Kirikov could only watch the Russian Empire soldiers abandon their positions and retreat back, and he did not pay any attention to his position commander.

If it weren't for the still loyal Minsk regiment commander, Brigadier General Kirikov would probably have been dumped directly on Telegraph Hill and became the first high-ranking officer of the coalition who did not take prisoners.

The head of the Minsk regiment, covered in the blood of friendly troops, came to Lieutenant General Kirikov and pleaded sincerely to Lieutenant General Kirikov: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, the defeat is like a mountain! Let's run! As long as there is life, there is hope! (Leave the green hills, not afraid of running out of firewood

"However, Prince Menshkov asked me to guard this place, and it's only been a day since I fell..." Lieutenant General Kirikov, who was approaching the incident, once again showed a cowardly character, afraid of being caught by Prince Menshkov. Sent to the military court, he hesitated whether to leave with the troops.

"Lieutenant General, I can't predict whether you will be punished by Prince Menshkov after this battle, but I can be sure that if you don't run now, you won't have a chance to run away in a while!" Ming Captain Ske responded bluntly to Lieutenant General Kirikov, and then pointed to the French army that was climbing the hill.

Lieutenant General Kirikov glanced at the French army that was about to climb to the middle of the mountain, remembered the hatred between the Russian Empire and the French Empire during the Napoleonic Wars, and shivered involuntarily, "Quick! Let's go!"

Lieutenant General Kirikov, who had not walked two steps, felt dizzy for a while. The consequences of drinking in the wooden house before were completely revealed in a moment. The head of Minsk, who was standing on the side, had to send two soldiers to take Kiriko. Lieutenant General Husband fled Telegraph Hill Heights after set up.

The assault brigade stepped up and rushed into the first trench. The latter part of the soldiers occupied the entire Telegraph Hill highland and planted the flags of France and Sardinia on the position. Another part of the soldiers continued to move towards Kiri. The direction of Lieutenant General Kov launched a charge.

In order to cover the retreat of the main force, a battalion of soldiers chose to sacrifice themselves to save the Russian Empire. After the death, these Russian soldiers, led by their battalion commander, lined up in two columns to charge the chasing assault brigade. The battle is on the trail leading to Sevastopol.

Blood stained the dirt on the road, hundreds of Russian Imperial soldiers were wiped out by the Zhuav regiment far superior to them, and not a single Russian soldier surrendered.

When Major General Boskai came down from the high ground of Telegraph Mountain, he saw the group of Russian soldiers who would rather die than surrender and could not help but become solemn.

"Bury them for a good life! They are a group of worthy opponents, but they are a general who is not worthy of trust!" Major General Bosque ordered the soldiers of the Zhuav regiment beside him.

"Yes!" The Zhuav regiment soldier responded to Major General Bosque.

Afterwards, Major General Bosquet returned to Telegraph Hill Heights and Brigadier General McMahon and Brigadier General Bazin on the heights of Telegraph Hill to carry out the next plan.

"I have already informed Commander-in-Chief Pelissier of the occupation of Telegraph Hill. I believe that it will not be long before Commander-in-Chief Pelissier will be able to receive the news! I hope your troops can adjust their status as soon as possible to meet the next A battle! Alma is not the end, but the starting point of our journey!" Major General Bosquet said solemnly to Brigadiers General McMahon and Brigadier General Bazin.

Brigadiers General McMahon and Brigadier General Bazin immediately assured Major General Bosquet that their forces could continue to fight.



In stark contrast to General Bosquet's effortless capture of Telegraph Hill Heights, the Kurgan Hill Offensive, on the left end of the line, was led by Sir Colin Cambering, Sir Joe Brown, Duke of Cambridge, De Lech. The troops of the Highland Brigade, the 1st Division, the Guards Division, and the 2nd Division led by Sir Iswan, under the command of Commander Raglan, launched another attack on the Kurgan Mountains in different directions. The most violent force was the Highland Brigade, which was attacking from the front.

In just half an hour, nearly 500 British soldiers died on the road to attack the Fortress, most of them were injured by artillery.

Of course, Prince Menshkov, who is on the defensive side, is also uncomfortable. While the well-trained British soldiers were repelled by artillery again and again, they were also attacking the Russian army again and again with strong firepower and tenacious will. counterattack.

Time passed 20 minutes again, and Sir Canning Bay finally led the Highland Brigade to the hillside less than 30 meters away from the Fortress. The vines and stubble trees on the hillside became an excellent shelter for the British army, which made the British The kingdom finally had a chance to breathe.

However, Menshkov will not give the Highland Brigade this opportunity. He will personally lead the troops to defeat the stubborn Highland Brigade soldiers.

Just when Prince Menshkov wanted to lead the Kazan infantry brigade to counterattack, Menshkov's adjutant who stayed behind at the temporary command post appeared in front of Menshkov and informed Menshkov that the troops from the Telegraph Hill Heights were in front of Menshkov. The herald, who is now waiting for Prince Menshkov at the temporary command post on the top of the mountain, said that if there is an urgent matter, he must report to Prince Menshkov in person.

"Won't you bring him to me?" Prince Menshkov yelled at the rigid adjutant.

"I'll go..." The adjutant turned around and wanted to return to the temporary command post to bring the messenger to Menshkov.

"Forget it! I'll go there myself!"

Menshkov had to return to the temporary command post in a hurry, but before leaving, Menshkov gave a special order to the Kazan Infantry Brigade.

Menshkov, who returned to the command post, met with the hussars in charge of the order, and the Kyiv hussars reported to Prince Menshkov the loss of Telegraph Hill.

Prince Menshkov, who heard the news of the fall of Telegraph Mountain, was stunned, as if someone had hit him on the head with a wooden stick, and a sense of powerlessness and dizziness poured into his head.

The hussars standing on the side saw the swaying Prince Menshkov hurriedly helped to prevent Prince Menshkov from falling. After a while, Prince Menshkov recovered, and he widened his eyes in response. He shouted to the messenger cavalry in front of him: "You say it again, what happened to Telegraph Mountain!"

"Your Excellency, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Telegraph Mountain has now fallen! Lieutenant General Kiriako has led his troops to retreat to the Sevastopol trail!" The messenger cavalry responded to Menshkov with a wry smile. road.

"Can you tell me! How did you lose a high ground in such a short period of time, and it is still a high ground that is very important to us! Could it be that the French soldiers can all fly? Or the one from Chiliako The idiots are drinking again on the battlefield!" Prince Menshkov asked the hussars who were in charge of the order in an exasperated manner.

"None of us expected that the French army would risk climbing up from the cliff, and when we found them, the French army was already two or three times our size, and they had artillery in their hands, the power and your The guns in our hands are roughly the same, so we have no choice but to retreat!" The messenger hussars told Prince Menshkov the whole process of the fall after being polished by General Kiriako.

"You mean that the French brought their naval guns up from the cliff?" Menshkov frowned and asked the messenger cavalry.

"It may not be naval guns, but their power is not much worse than our naval guns!"
