The young Captain Jerome Patterson used his vibrant tone to describe the blocking battle that took place on the Sevastopol trail to Commander Raglan vividly and vividly, which gave Commander Raglan a kind of personality. Immersive feeling.

The heartbroken Commander Raglan immediately congratulated the French Empire on the decisive victory on the Sevastopol trail, and asked Captain Jerome Paterson what the French army needed them to do.

"Commander Raglan, I am here to inform you by order of Commander Pelissier! I hope you can lead your troops to the north shore of Sevastopol as soon as possible!" Captain Jerome Patterson told Raglan Commander Lun gave a military salute, and then continued: "We must hurry up to deploy!"

As soon as Jerome Paterson's voice fell, Commander Raglan smiled and said, "Paterson, tell me the truth! Is that fellow Pelissier preparing to attack Sevastopol? "

Jerome Paterson was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and responded to Commander Raglan: "I don't even know what Commander Pelissier's next move is! He just told me to notify you as soon as possible. Set off!"

"Your new commander-in-chief is really a bumbling fellow!" Commander Raglan complained with a smile, and then responded to Jerome Paterson, "Go back and tell your commander-in-chief, I will immediately Then lead the British army and rush over!"

"Thank you very much for your cooperation!" Jerome Patterson saluted Commander Raglan again, then turned and left Kurgan Mountain.

Looking at the back of Jerome Paterson leaving, Commander Raglan said, "You heard what Captain Jerome Paterson said just now!"

The generals present nodded one after another, and then Commander Raglan ordered the Duke of Cardigan: "Quickly bring your cavalry to support the Fourth Division, I suspect that the Russian defeated by France is approaching there!"

The Duke of Cambridge, the commander of the Guards Division and the Deputy Commander of the Expeditionary Force, who was standing on the side, rode forward and lined up with Commander Raglan, and said, "Your Excellency Commander, do you want to send the Guards Division to help out! In case of collapse? If the soldiers defeat the Fourth Division, it will be bad!"

"The Fourth Division will not be defeated by a group of soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit!" Commander Raglan responded decisively, and then added: "If he is really defeated, then he will take off this body for me. Military uniform, go home and coax the children! I don't need a general in my army who can't even beat a broken army!"

Commander Raglan's decisive attitude made the Duke of Cambridge dare not say a word for Sir George Casscott. He could only pray silently for the Fourth Division in his heart.

After the Earl of Cardigan led his light cavalry to the vicinity of the Kacha River, Commander Raglan took out the pocket watch placed on his chest near his heart. It was already 4:45 in the afternoon, before Commander Raglan launched the first attack. More than 6 hours have passed since the second attack, and only 55 minutes have passed since the time when the Kurgan Mountain was captured, which means that the normal battle between the two peaks of Kurgan and Telegraph Mountain is only a matter of time. for 5 hours.

"Set off!"

Following Commander Raglan's order, the British command system, which had been silent for a while, began to operate again. The British army, who had just rested for 40 minutes, stood up under the officer's whip and riding boots. The soldiers who were fairly good lined up in two columns and marched towards the Sevastopol fortress. Those British and Russian soldiers who lacked arms and legs were temporarily placed on the Kurgan Mountains, waiting for the follow-up medical troops to transport them to the rear. The small town of Yevpatoria was treated, and the seriously injured soldiers were sent to Constantinople for treatment.

In short, the British army has no time to linger slowly here, they must reach the north shore of the Sevastopol fortress as soon as possible!

When the British army led by Commander Raglan crossed the Kacha River and arrived at the farmhouse near the Berbe River on the north bank of Sevastopol, it was already completely dark, and Sevastopol in the distance was completely hidden in darkness. among.

Marching in the dark is undoubtedly a dangerous thing, especially when there are still a large number of night blindness patients in the British army, so Commander Raglan gave up his plan to reconcile with the French army, and instead ordered his troops to be stationed on the spot, and then He led the adjutant to continue walking, and finally reached the French army about 2 kilometers away from him.

Under the leadership of French officers, Commander Raglan was taken to the interior of a humble farm.

"Commander Raglan, Marshal Saint Arnault and Commander-in-Chief Pelissier are all inside!" The officer in charge of leading the way lowered his voice and said to Commander Raglan.

"Saint Arno, he's awake?" Commander Raglan asked with a hint of surprise.

"The marshal woke up last night! It's just that his body is no longer suitable for high-intensity command, so General Perlisier temporarily took his place!" The French officer will wake up Commander Raglan.

Then the French officer said goodbye to Commander Raglan, and Commander Raglan entered the command post in France with his adjutant.

"Dong Dong Dong"

With a crisp knock on the door, Marshal Saint Arnault and General Pelissier, who were sitting beside the map, raised their heads and looked towards the door. The figure of Commander Raglan appeared in front of the door, Marshal Saint Arnault. And Pelissier immediately got up to meet, and shook hands with Commander Raglan.

Commander Raglan was delighted that Marshal St. Arnault was back in good health, and also praised Pelissier's actions in the Battle of Armagh.

If the French army occupied the Telegraph Hill at a very fast speed, which caused the turmoil of the Russian army on the Kurgan Mountain, the British Kingdom would not have achieved victory so quickly.

Marshal Saint Arnault told Commander Raglan with a wry smile that his body had not recovered, and the actual commander of the French Expeditionary Force was still Perissier.

"Right! General Pelissier has a bold plan, is Commander Raglan interested in listening to it!" Marshal Saint Arnault said to Commander Raglan.

"What plan?" Commander Raglan was suddenly interested.

"During that blocking battle on the Sevastopol trail, we caught a Russian imperial general! He told us that there are only more than 10,000 people left in the whole of Sevastopol, and the city located in the north It is also in disrepair, so General Pelissier wants to try to attack the north of Sevastopol! If we can successfully occupy the north, then we can cut off the supply of southern Sevastopol and Russia!" St. Marshal Arnault responded to Commander Raglan.

"It's true that heroes see the same thing!" Commander Raglan couldn't help but sigh, and then asked who the captured general of the Russian Empire was.

"Lieutenant General Kiriako! He was the one who fought with us on Telegraph Mountain!" Marshal Saint Arnault recalled the state of Lieutenant General Kiriako at that time, and the corner of his mouth smiled involuntarily.

Commander Raglan nodded, feeling a little more convinced that the defense of the Sevastopol fortress was empty.

After all, this is the highest-ranking general the coalition has captured. If even his words are not credible, then there are probably not many credible people in the entire Crimea.

"You can give it a try!" Commander Raglan nodded in agreement with Pelissier's suggestion, and then added: "However, we must wait until all our artillery units arrive before making the next move!"

"It's natural!" Marshal Saint Arnault nodded and replied: "Not only the artillery unit, but also all the tents and rucksacks we left on the south bank of the Alma River! It's hard for them these two days. It's gone!"

Because the French army marched all the way to the north bank of the Sevastopol fortress, all their camps and artillery equipment were left on the south bank of the Alma River. A few days of barren country ridge to deal with.

"Alas!" Commander Raglan also sighed, because the British troops also faced the same problems as the French Empire.

……

After returning from the French station to the British station, Commander Raglan held a brief meeting with his division commanders under the dim lanolin lamp.

At the meeting, Commander Raglan informed the officers present of the next military action and asked them to maintain the morale of the British army.

Although the officers present had a little resentment for Commander Raglan's unsympathetic behavior of the army, they still assured Commander Raglan that they would definitely complete the task given by Commander Raglan.

Early the next morning, a carriage appeared on the north bank of Sevastopol. They brought tents and artillery left to the south bank of the Alma River for the British and French forces. The troops responsible for escorting these things were the The Turkish army~www.novelhall.com~ At the same time, the British and French fleets on the coast also sent supplies to the British and French coalition forces, including biscuits, cans, bread (French army), vegetables, corned beef jerky (English) military), wine, etc.

These abundant supplies greatly eased the war weariness of the British and French armies, and the arrival of wine made the British and French armies cheer for it.

The staff of the four countries of Britain, France and Satu also took advantage of the rest time to count their losses in the battle of the Alma River. Among them, the British Kingdom had the most losses. More than 2,800 casualties were lost in the Battle of Kurgan Mountain, equivalent to the entire army. 9% of the total, followed by the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of France, which lost 732 and 431 people respectively, and the last Ottoman Empire lost only single-digit casualties (the Ottoman Empire was a substitute for the entire battle).

The time soon came to the fourth day. After two days of transportation, the weapons and equipment of the four countries of Britain, France and Satu finally arrived on the north shore.

In the afternoon, a telegram from Paris reached Marshal San Arno via Constantinople. This telegram made Marshal Saint Arno, who was a little hesitant, decide to attack the northern fortress of Sevastopol. Determination.

In order to find out the wishes of the other three commanders, Saint Arnault summoned the other three national commanders to the French Command in the name of the Coalition Command to discuss countermeasures.
