"General Conrobert, please allow me to lead the Zhu Af Regiment to kill this group of guys who don't know the height of the sky!"

In the face of the provocation of the Cossack cavalry, Brigadier General Bazin, who could not hold back the anger in his heart, rode up to General Conrobert and whispered a proposal.

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

No way! This distance is still not good! You can't wipe them all out!

After General Conrobert silently came to a conclusion in his mind, he shook his head and motioned for Bazin not to get excited.

And the Cossack cavalry units opposite the Zhuaf regiment, after seeing that the Zhuaf regiment still did not have any movement, gradually became emboldened, and began to test the range of the Zhuaf regiment little by little.

Nearly a hundred Cossack cavalry, while approaching the Zhuaf regiment, spread out in all directions to form an arc.

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

He stretched out his right hand and waved it lightly, and Brigadier General Bazin, who was standing on the side, ran to the front of the commander of the horizontal phalanx company with understanding, and shouted: "Fire!" ”

"Fire!" Seeing this, the company commander also shouted.

The Zhu Af regiment, who received the instructions, did not hesitate at all and pulled the trigger together.

Dense gunfire rang out from the camp of the Zhuaf regiment, and the bullets swirled along the rifling in the muzzle with the muzzle velocity given by the gunpowder, and then rushed towards the Cossack cavalry with a speed of discharging beyond the speed of sound.

At such a speed, the Cossack cavalry simply could not make an effective countermeasure.

They were still smiling in the last second, but the next second they felt a sharp pain in their chests, red blood from the green uniforms, and the horses also let out a scream, and both men and horses fell heavily to the ground.

The Cossack cavalry, which was supposed to be almost a hundred people, lost more than 30 people after a round of shooting.

The rest of the Cossack cavalry looked at the Zhuaf regiment on the opposite side with a look of horror, and they did not understand why the Zhuaf regiment was able to shoot so accurately at such a distance.

Under the horrified gaze of the Cossack cavalry, the infantry of the first platoon crouched down to reload ammunition, and the infantry of the second platoon raised their rifles towards the Cossack cavalry.

"Second team, fire!"

Brigadier General Bazin's command was once again reached the ears of the Zhuaf regiment, and the members of the second row of Zhuaf pulled the trigger again.

After the gunshots, more than 30 more Cossack cavalrymen fell to the ground.

The remaining 30 or so Cossack cavalrymen did not hesitate to turn their horses and flee the battlefield. But they didn't know that it was too late to flee.

"Third team, shoot!"

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

Only less than ten Cossack cavalrymen were left to escape from the guns of the Zhuaf regiment, and the Zhuaf regiment erupted in cheers when they looked at the group of Cossack cavalry fleeing in a hurry.

At this point, the French army's fear of the Cossacks was completely removed, and Connobel nodded in satisfaction and gave the order to Brigadier General Bazin beside him to clear the battlefield.

Brigadier General Bazin quickly sent men to clean up the battlefield and then reported the death toll of the Cossack cavalry to General Conrobel.

The journey takes less than an hour.

"Your regiment is doing a great job!" General Conrobert praised General Bazin.

Immediately, under the orders of General Conrobel, the Zhuaf regiment returned to its original position.

As spectators of this war, Samosette and others were also amazed by the skillful skills and neat movements of the Zhuaf regiment.

Although their team can also repel this group of Cossack cavalry like the Zhuaf regiment, it is far from the level of skilled cooperation of the Zhuaf regiment, which requires a tacit understanding that can only be tempered after thousands of battlefield cooperation.

Neither the Scottish Muskets nor the Sardinian Chasseurs had the same experience of large-scale combat as the Juaf Regiment.

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

After regrouping his ranks, General Conrobel led his troops on the march until they reached a point less than 2 kilometers from the fortress of Silistra, where Major General Conrobel ordered his troops to stop.

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

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

Connobel muttered silently in his heart, and then ordered his troops to build trenches here to meet the impending Russian attack.

Conrobel was going to attract a portion of the Russian army here, thus sharing the pressure on the fortress of Silistra.

As long as Conrobel held out near the fortress of Silistra for a few days, the follow-up troops would surely be able to arrive here.

At that time, the Russian army will face the current dilemma of the fortress of Silistra.

Just as Conrobel ordered his troops to build trenches and wait for the arrival of the Russian army, Prince Paskevich, who was located in the Russian base camp near the fortress of Silistra, also received information that the British and French troops had arrived near the fortress of Silistra.

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

"What? You've spotted a force of 300,000 people heading towards the fortress of Silistra! Prince Paskevich asked the Cossack cavalry in a questioning tone.

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

Fearing the punishment of their commanders, the Cossack cavalry played word games with Prince Paskevich.

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

"That's it! I see, let's go! Prince Paskevich waved his hand, and the two Cossack cavalrymen left Paskevich's tent.

"300,000 people? How can it be! It must be those two guys who are afraid of being punished, so they deliberately exaggerate the information! Prince Paskeiewicz, who had been alone in the tent, said to himself, with a mocking smile on his lips.

The smile was both a mockery of the two Cossack servicemen's lies about the military situation, and a mockery of the deception of the entire Russian Imperial Army.

In a team where even the investigators had to lie to be able to go unpunished, how much real information could he, the prince, have, and how much real information could His Majesty Nicholas I, who was far away in Moscow, have.

Perhaps the information he had given to His Majesty Nicholas I had not yet arrived had already been transferred by some fellows who did not want to face up to the current situation in the Russian Empire.

Or perhaps His Majesty Nicholas I did not want to receive real information at all.

Thinking of this, Prince Paskevich could not help but feel a sense of sadness for the situation of the Russian Empire, and this sense of powerlessness that he knew that the edifice was about to collapse, but had no way to do it, filled Prince Paskeewicz's heart, so that Paskevich had no way to calm down and think calmly.

Prince Paskevich had no choice but to call General Gorchakov, who was supervising the battle at the front.

When General Gorchakov arrived at the camp, Prince Paskevich once again looked at Gorchakov on the bed with a worried expression and said: "What is the situation at the front? Is it possible for our army to break through the fortress of Silisstra? ”

General Gorchakov shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the fortress in the near future!" ”

"Damn! We have filled this place with an unknown number of lives, why is it still unable to break through! Prince Paskevich complained to himself.

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

But there was still no way to break through the fortress of Silistra...... Not to mention the fortress of Silistra, even the "Tabia" in front of the fortress of Silistra could not be breached.

Moreover, the human losses inflicted by the Ottoman Empire on the Russian Empire were also more than the Russian generals expected.

Nearly two weeks of frenzied gnawing at the fortress caused the Russian Empire to lose more than 8,000 soldiers (including 3,000 dead and 5,000 sick and wounded), nearly 1/4 of the Guards Division was left under the "Tabia" fortress, and a small half of the 13th Army Corps remained in the trenches.

So much so that Prince Paskevich had to abandon the previous arrangement and draw the XIV Army into the assault on the fortress of Silistra.

However, within a few days, the 14th Army also suffered heavy casualties among some of its troops.

The rising number of casualties caused the 13th Army, the 14th Army Corps, and the Guards Division to complain about Paskeewicz, and rumors began to circulate in the barracks that Prince Paskeewicz had deliberately sent these three armies to death so that his own Polish Legion could reap the benefits.

Prince Paskewicz, who was originally dissatisfied with Moscow's assault, was even more heartbroken by these rumors.

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

However, after thinking about it for several days, Prince Paskeewicz did not think of any way.

"Your Excellency, the Fortress of Silistra is already an area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is normal for the attack to be frustrated!"
