At the compulsion of Brigadier General Orlov Jr., the two brigade commanders had no choice but to return to the camp to reorganize the army, and vent all the grievances they had suffered on Brigadier General Orlov Jr. on the subordinate regiment commanders.

The two brigade commanders first called the regimental commanders, who had suffered heavy losses, to the open space in front of the camp tents, and then ordered the regiment commanders to kneel on the ground and take off their clothes in front of everyone, and then severely whipped these regiment commanders on the back with leather whips.

The regiment commander who was beaten gritted his teeth and did not say a word until the two brigade commanders had finished whipping the ten lashes.

"Now, you immediately return to your respective units for me, put in order the military discipline of your troops, kill those who deserve, punish those who deserve, I don't want to see a rout like the one just now continue to happen!" The two brigade commanders viciously said to the regimental commanders around them: "As soon as you retreat, the division commander will be dissatisfied!" If the division commander is not satisfied, we will also be criticized! If we are criticized, don't think about it! ”

The surrounding regiment commanders looked at the two regiment commanders kneeling on the ground with palpitations, no one wanted to suffer such abuse, they. Hurriedly assured the two brigade commanders that they would definitely put in order military discipline, and you would definitely not let what happened just now happen again.

The two brigade commanders, who heard the assurances of their subordinates, nodded with satisfaction, and then said again: "Remember what you said!" ”

Immediately, they took out their gilded pocket watches, glanced at the time, and continued: "It's 10 o'clock in the morning, and I have five hours to put your army in order!" At three o'clock in the afternoon, the division commander will personally come to inspect you, and then he will follow you to the front! ”

"The division commander is going to the front ?!!!" The regiment commander showed a shocked expression when he heard the news that Brigadier General Orlov Jr. had gone to the front.

Since the start of the Battle of the Danube, first the commander-in-chief (Paskevich) went to the front line to supervise the battle, and then the deputy commander (Gorchakov) also went to the front line to supervise the battle, and now the division commander also has to go to the front line to supervise the battle.

"Brigade commander, for the sake of the division commander's safety, why don't you let the division commander go to the front line!" Several regiment commanders even tactfully protested to the brigade commander.

After all, if the division commander Orlov Jr. is gone at the front, their division will have to eat melons.

They had heard that their little Orlov division commander had a great relationship with the Count Orlov of the "Third Section", and if he was gone, Count Orlov would most likely think that they had caused the result, and they would have been sent to Siberia.

"Whoever of you has the ability to let the division commander not go to the front line, he will go! Anyway, the two of us don't have the ability to do that! The brigade commander showed an impatient look, and said in the distance: "All you have to do now is to give me the interventionist behind the damn barbed wire by all means, and then crush the barbed wire!" Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The regiment commander, who felt the gloomy atmosphere contained in the brigade commander's words, hurriedly stood up and responded.

"Good! I hope to see what you do next! The two brigade commanders nodded and turned to leave the barracks.

Looking at the regiment commanders who were gradually moving away from the two brigade commanders, they immediately worked in a team of two to carefully support the several regiment commanders who were kneeling on the ground.

At this time, the foreheads of these regiment commanders who had been severely punished were already soaked with sweat, and several red and purple whip marks appeared on their backs.

"Thank you!" The regimental commanders, who were supported by others, expressed their gratitude to their colleagues around them.

With the help of their colleagues, several regimental commanders were carried to the marching beds in the camp tents.

The colleagues then called in the few medical personnel in the brigade headquarters to treat them, and the medical staff carefully took out a bottle from the medical box and smeared the contents of the bottle on the back of the regimental commanders.

"Ahh The head of the regiment, who had applied the doctor's ancient prescription, let out a scream at first, and after a while, he smiled again.

"Just rest for a few days!" Seeing that there were no side effects of his ancient prescription, the doctor got up, stepped back into the suitcase and left.

After bidding farewell to the doctor, the regimental commander returned to the camp tent and said to the regiment commander lying on the bed in a half-joking, half-serious tone: "You have been whipped, but you don't have to go to the battlefield!" We're in bad luck. If the attack doesn't go well, I'm afraid we're in big trouble! ”

"Hey! Who let those damned Anglo-French troops block our offensive in this way! If our two armies put on a one-on-one posture, I will definitely let them know what a real army is! ”

"Come on! As far as your army still wants to compare with others, I remember that the first collapse began with your regiment! ”

"Don't talk nonsense! My regiment didn't run until the end! Now what's the point of saying who ran away first! The point is the next battle, what should we do? ”

"What else can I do! It's nothing more than exchanging casualties for a breakthrough! We don't know how many times we've used this method! Anyway, in the eyes of the dignitaries in Moscow, those soldiers under our command are not as precious as their meal! ”

"Hey! That's all there is to it! ”

……

After the regimental commanders got together to complain, they each returned to their respective regiments to carry out the work of rectifying military discipline.

Of course, in the process of rectifying military discipline, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts.

The regiment commander, who also accumulated a certain amount of negative emotions in his heart, naturally chose to release his emotions to people who were weaker than them, and this time the rectification of military discipline led to the death of more than fifty people.

Once again, the officers of the Russian Empire asserted their authority in front of the "gray animals" with bullets and whips, and the soldiers hanging from the trunks of trees became the most useful weapons to deter the "gray animals".

The Russian officers ruthlessly commanded the army with their brutality, and in a short time, the Russian Empire, which was on the verge of collapse, once again regained its original morale.

As the sun gradually moved from east to south and then to west, it soon reached the appointed meeting time.

All the soldiers of the 1st Division (currently 14,000 remaining) formed a phalanx under the leadership of their regimental commander/deputy commander to form a company formation for review.

The team inspected by Orlov Jr., who was on a white horse, with his two brigade commanders.

When the white horses arrived at the first phalanx from the last phalanx, Brigadier General Orlov Jr. had a smile on his face, and he looked ahead and lightly praised the two brigade commanders who were half a horse behind him: "You have done a good job!" ”

"This is what we should do!" The two brigade commanders who were praised responded to Brigadier General Orlov Jr. with flattering expressions.

"Let's go!"

With the order of Brigadier General Orlov the Younger, two brigades plus three infantry batteries (twenty-five guns) once again set off in the direction where the French army was located.

The infantry and artillery of the Russian Empire, who had stepped through the bushes and thorns, once again saw the French camp perched on the slope.

When the army reached a kilometer or so from the tents, three artillery batteries stopped, the commander of the artillery company gave the order of Brigadier General Orlov Jr., and the skilled gunners (the literacy rate of the Russian Empire was only %, and the vast majority of gunners relied on feeling) began to calibrate the artillery.

The remaining infantry continued to advance towards the camp of the coalition troops, and after reaching a position of about 600 meters of the coalition barbed wire, the infantry stopped again.

"Commander, you can't move forward any further! Here you go! The two brigade commanders said to Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

Although it was still 700 meters away from the coalition trenches, the two brigade commanders did not dare to let Orlov Jr. go any further. (They didn't know that the maximum range of the Migne gun was 918 meters, and Orlov Jr. even thought that the range of the rifle in the hands of the coalition forces was only about 400 meters.)

Brigadier General Orlov Jr., who was a little stubborn, thought that since he had already said that he wanted to be with the soldiers, it would be impossible for him to stand so far away to supervise the battle.

As a result, Orlov Jr. was ready to continue his march despite the dissuasion of the two brigade commanders.

And this move of his happened to be observed with a telescope by Major General Conrobert in the trench.

"Did you see that person?" Major General Conrobel pointed to Orlov Jr., where he was about to face Jérôme Jr., who was next to him. Captain Patterson said.

Jérôme. Captain Patterson squinted in the direction that Major General Conrobert was pointing, "See! ”

"Get all those soldiers of the Juaf regiment ready! It's a big fish that comes to your door! You can't just let it go! Major General Conrobert said with a hint of excitement.

Jérôme, who understood the subtext of Major General Conrobert. Patterson gave the words of Major General Conrobert to the "snipers", and these snipers, hand-picked by Brigadier General Bazin, immediately turned their heads to Jérôme. Patterson said he would not let Brigadier General Orlov Jr. go.

Poor Brigadier General Orlov Jr. did not know that from the moment he stepped into the front line, he had been targeted by more than a dozen "snipers".

Brigadier General Orlov, who had no idea of his future fate, continued despite the opposition of his two battalion commanders, and only stopped when he reached a position about 530 meters from the trench, which was exactly within the effective range of the Mine's rifles, and several Migne guns were aimed at Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

"Up!"

At the command of Brigadier General Orlov Jr., the Russian Imperial Army charged like a sea of mountains towards the positions where the Allied troops were located.

In the trench, Major General Conrobert was still standing calmly in front of Jerome. Patterson said, "Tell the troops, let them get close before fighting!" ”

Jérôme. Patterson turned and conveyed the orders of Major General Conrobell to the regiments.

When the Russian Imperial Army was only about 200 meters away from the barbed wire, Conrobel took a deep breath and said: "Fight! ”
