"North Shore... it's over!"

Looking at the battleships on the south bank, the adjutant cried out in despair, then turned to head towards the barracks on the north bank of Sevastopol.

Since naval artillery support is no longer available, at least the thousand or so people left in the barracks should be pulled to the Star Fortress.

In this case, at least the Star Fortress can hold up for a while.

However, when the adjutant arrived at the barracks on horseback, there were already not many people in the barracks, and there were only a company of less than 250 people and a detachment of militiamen of less than 100 people.

Looking at the empty barracks in front of me, and the remaining soldiers in the barracks.

The adjutant's head was like being smashed with a fist, and a buzzing sound echoed in his ears.

What about people? Where have all my hot people gone!

There was a roar in the adjutant's heart, and his expression became even more desperate.

At present, the plan to seek naval artillery support is in vain, and the reinforcements in the barracks are also missing.

What should he do!

"Sir...Is there anything you need my help?" Just when the adjutant fell into despair, a voice came to mind from the adjutant's ear.

The adjutant who came to his senses raised his head and saw the only remaining troops in the barracks, and asked in a hurried tone, "Where are the others in the barracks?"

The company commander of the surviving company explained to the adjutant that the more than 1,000 soldiers who originally lived in the barracks left the north shore by boat an hour ago, and they were the only people left.

"Who! Who ordered them to leave! Why didn't you inform us!" The adjutant asked the company commander with a hint of tears.

"Lieutenant General Nakhimov's order!" The company commander responded to the adjutant.

"Lieutenant General Nakhimov... Lieutenant General Nakhimov..." After the adjutant muttered to himself several times, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knows the Star Fortress... No, it should be said that the entire North Shore has been abandoned by Lieutenant General Nakhimov!

What **** to open up the north and south sides of the strait so that we can support at any time! (Propaganda made by Kornilov to appease the emotions of soldiers on the North Shore)

It's just Nan'an's trick to fool them. From the very beginning, they have been abandoned by Nan'an!

"Why don't you follow them!" The adjutant glanced at the company commander and asked.

"Report sir!" The company commander responded to the adjutant in a sonorous tone: "I don't think we should escape from here, every inch of the land here is built by our hard work! Even if we die, we will die here!"

"You..." The adjutant's voice was slightly choked up. He didn't know how he should comment on the "stupid" company commander and his "stupid" soldiers in front of him.

From their body, the adjutant seemed to see the Russian Empire in 1812. The ancestors at that time probably fought with the same idea as them!

"Very good!" The adjutant who was taught a lesson by the soldiers turned from confusion to firmness. He nodded and praised the company commander: "You and your subordinates are good!"

"You passed the prize!" The company commander responded to the adjutant with a confident smile on his face.

Afterwards, the adjutant explained the situation facing the Star Fortress, and then asked them if they would like to go to the Star Fortress.

As the adjutant expected, none of the soldiers present flinched. They unswervingly expressed to the adjutant that they were willing to fight until the last moment.

"You are real Russian soldiers!" The adjutant nodded, and then saluted the warriors in front of him.

The soldiers in the barracks also returned the salute to the adjutant. Under the leadership of the adjutant, the only 326 people left in the barracks followed him toward the Star Fortress.

At the Star Fortress at this time, the Russian and French armies that stopped shelling have now entered the meat grinder mode.

Under the command of the commander, a French soldier turned over the ditch and came to the front of the slope. There were parapets on the slope. The height of each parapet was about 2 meters. Nirvana shot.

The Russian Imperial soldiers hiding behind the parapet kept shooting at the French soldiers under the slope. When the French soldiers fired bullets at them, they could hide behind the parapet and listen to the Mignet bullets hitting the parapet. on the sound.

After the sound ended, the Russian Imperial soldiers leaned out halfway from the parapet and aimed at the French army to shoot.

In just half an hour, more than 100 French soldiers fell on the way up the slope.

Attack after attack was repelled by Imperial Russian troops behind the parapet.

Of course, the Russian Imperial Army, which was repelling the attack, was not much better either.

When the French soldiers in the front row marched up the slope, the French soldiers in the back row had already raised their Mignet guns at the Russian Imperial Army behind the parapet. As long as the Russian Imperial Army was all the way, it would become the focus of the rear row soldiers. Object.

Not only that, some French soldiers also aimed their guns at the fort on the wall of the fortress. As long as the Russian Empire appeared next to the fort, they would quickly pull the trigger and kill the Russian artillery.

From the beginning to the present, 6 artillerymen on the city wall have been killed by the French army.

About 200 soldiers of the Russian Empire hiding behind the parapet were also killed by France.

The casualty ratio between the Russian Empire and the French Empire remained at around 1 to 2.

Such an exchange ratio is the worst since the war between France and the Russian Empire.

In the past, France basically played an exchange ratio of about 1 to 7 and 1 to 8.

This time, the French army really encountered a tougher bone.

When another wave of the French army's offensive was repelled by the Russian Empire, Conrobel, who was about a kilometer away from the Star Fortress, saw the Star Fortress using a telescope. He frowned at the adjutant Jerome Pao Tesson (Jérôme Patterson is both the adjutant of the headquarters and the adjutant of the first division) said: "Let the regiment in charge of the attack come down! Change Zhuav!"

"Yes!" Jerome Patterson rode to the foot of the Star Fortress and gave the commander of the regiment Conrobel's order!

"Why!" said the regiment commander with a cry of resentment: "Why let me down, I'm almost successful! Major Jerome, can you please tell the commander! Give us a little more time, I Don't take another half an hour! After half an hour, if I can't capture this fortress, I will take off my military uniform and leave the army! Now my army has formed a beam with the opposite side, and I will not knock them down. Not reconciled!"

Jerome Paterson listened to the commander's statement quietly, and then replied coldly, "I'm just a person in charge of delivering the news. It's entirely up to you to execute the commander's orders or not!"

Jerome Patterson's words directly blocked the "emotional card" of the regiment commander. He knew what kind of ending he would face if he did not obey General Conrobel's orders.

Therefore, even though he was very unwilling in his heart, he still had no way to disobey General Conrobel's order.

The consequences of not obeying the superior are very serious!

After Jerome Patterson left, the regiment commander looked at the fortress in front of him with reluctance and gave the regimental chief of staff an order to retreat.

Responsible for the retreat of the main attacking group, the defenders on the Star Fortress thought that the French army would not attack due to concerns about casualties after finding out that the French army had withdrawn, and smiles appeared on their faces.

At this moment, the more than 300 soldiers led by the adjutant also felt the star fortress.

After entering the fortress, the adjutant reported the situation in the port to the fortress commander.

"I almost guessed it!" The commander said to the adjutant with a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth.

Then the adjutant explained their current situation to the fortress commander.

"Now, our fortress has completely turned into an isolated city!" The adjutant whispered to the fortress commander.

"Even if it's an isolated city, we have to stick to it!" The fortress commander's attitude was also very decisive.

Subsequently, the commander of the fortress added the soldiers brought by the adjutant to the lost troops.

After about 10 minutes, an officer in a Russian uniform limped out of the French troops. It seemed to be a Russian officer who was captured at the Battle of Armagh.

When he came to the slope, the Russian Imperial Army on the **** aimed the muzzle of the musket at the Russian officer.

"Don't shoot! I'm from the 17th Division! I have something to tell your fortress commander!" The Russian officer raised his hands and said loudly as he walked up the slope.

When he reached the first parapet, two Russian soldiers appeared and escorted the Russian officer to the Star Fortress.

The Russian officer who entered the fortress saw the commander inside the fortress.

The fortress commander looked at the captured Russian commander with contempt, "What do you want from me!"

"That's it! General Conrobel wants your troops to lay down their weapons and surrender. He can guarantee the safety of your entire fortress' lives and property!" The Russian commander said to the fortress commander with a hint of pride.

"Tell Conrobel that there are only dead Russian soldiers in this world, and no captured Russian soldiers!" the commander of the fortress sneered.

"You..." The captured Russian commander's angry voice trembled, and he pointed at the fortress commander.

"Get out of here! I'm so afraid that I can't help but kill you!" The commander of the fortress reprimanded the captured Russian commander loudly.

The Russian commander left the position in embarrassment, and the Star Fortress burst into laughter.

When the Russian commander who had returned to the French camp reported to Conrobel with gusto, Conrobel made up his mind to completely eliminate the stubborn guy thanking him.

The big and small Napoleonic cannons fired again, this time they were aimed at the parapet on the slope.

About 20 minutes after the shelling, the parapet that was baptized by the artillery was still 60% undamaged.

This round of shelling killed and injured more than 100 people.

After the artillery coverage was over, the Zhuav regiment led by Brigadier General Bazin once again appeared under the Star Fortress.

The Russian army on the Star Fortress looked at the French army in strange clothes below and said, "They are Zhuav soldiers!"

"The Zhuav soldier? What is that?" the soldier beside him asked curiously.

The soldier explained the origin of "Zhuaf" to the soldiers next to him, and the surrounding soldiers were also a little uneasy after hearing the origin of the "Zhuaf" regiment.

Brigadier General Bazin, who was riding on a horse, glanced at the Star Fortress, and he made up his mind to conquer the fortress in the shortest possible time.

He wants to use this to make his name. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

So, Brigadier General Bazin decided to go into battle himself, and when he turned over and dismounted, he said to the soldiers next to him with a Mignet gun: "In this battle, I will climb to the top with you! No one is allowed to retreat. Once they find that they are retreating, Even I will be subject to military law! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The soldiers of the Zhu'af regiment roared out.

"very good!"

Under the leadership of Brigadier General Bazin, the Zhuavt regiment was like a giant beast awakened from sleep. They climbed over the ditch and came to the **** at a very fast speed.

After seeing the skills of the Zhuav regiment, the Russian soldiers who used the parapet on the **** as a bunker immediately realized that the group of soldiers in front of them was not at the same level as the previous soldiers.

The soldiers of the Zhuav regiment who came to the **** dodged left and right, and after only a few minutes, they rushed to the first parapet.

In close-range hand-to-hand combat, this group of Russian soldiers with little combat experience was no match for them. The Zhuav soldiers who kept coming up quickly killed the Russian soldiers behind the parapet.

Then, he effortlessly rushed to the second parapet.

In just 15 minutes, the vanguard of the Zhu'af regiment had completely rushed to the open space in front of the Star Fortress.
