When Deputy Commander Gorchakov led the Cossack regiment to which General Shyldel belonged to the vicinity of the French camp.

The scene in front of them made them angry, and the 1st Division of the Polish Legion, which had nearly 10,000 men, was pursued by Bashpozuk cavalry, which had only a few hundred men, but was unwilling to turn around and counterattack.

The sharp saber swung in mid-air with an icy chill, slashing at the back of the neck of the Russian soldier with his back to them.

The battlefield was full of defeat, and the screams of the soldiers of the Russian Empire rang out everywhere. Patches of bright red blood spilled on the ground, staining the dirt with a little bit of blood.

Looking at the Russian Imperial soldiers slaughtered like chickens in front of him, Deputy Commander Gorchakov felt unprecedented anger and humiliation.

Once upon a time, their troops were reduced to the point where they did not dare to turn around and compete with the Turkish army.

"Where is Brigadier General Orlov?" Deputy Commander Gorchakov, who was on horseback, had his teeth rattling and looked like he was vowing to eat Brigadier General Orlov Jr. alive.

General Sheldel, who saw the expression of Deputy Commander Gorchakov, knew that Brigadier General Orlov Jr. might not be punished (General Sherdel, who had just arrived on the battlefield, did not know the news of Brigadier General Orlov Jr.'s death), and he thought that he was just following Deputy Commander Gorchakov on a whim to the front line to check the progress of Brigadier General Orlov Jr.'s attack, but he never thought that Brigadier Orlov Jr. would give him such a "big gift".

After this battle, Brigadier General Orlov Jr. may no longer be able to shoulder the task of attacking fortifications, and he will inevitably complete this task in place of Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

Thinking of this, General Sterdel inevitably felt a little happy in his heart, he pretended to look around with a telescope, and then pretended to be Deputy Commander Gorchakov responded: "Deputy Commander, there seems to be no trace of Brigadier General Orlov Jr. on the battlefield!" Will he be out of the battlefield! ”

"I don't care where he is! He must be held accountable for this defeat! Deputy Commander Gorchakov was about to shout, and then he said murderously to General Sterdel beside him: "General Silker, I order you to quickly lead the Cossack cavalry to support!" Be sure to annihilate this damned Bashpozuk cavalry! ”

"Yes!" General Sterdel replied with a serious expression, and then led a thousand-strong Cossack cavalry around the Russian army and entered the battlefield from the flank.

When the fierce Bashpozuk cavalry saw the large Cossack cavalry rushing towards them, the vast majority of the Bashpozuk cavalry was in the "Kurdish holy woman" Fatima . Under the leadership of Hanum, he turned his horse around and left the battlefield in the form of a "flying general".

A handful of self-defeating Bashpozuk cavalry continued to brazenly slash and slaughter demoralized Russian Imperial soldiers, and even more so on the Cossack corps.

Of course, the end of these berserker Bashpozuk cavalry was also particularly tragic.

It took only one round for the Cossack cavalry to slaughter the stranded Bashpozuk cavalry, and then pursued the fleeing Bashpozuk cavalry on the orders of General Sherdel.

There was a flame of revenge in the eyes of every Cossack cavalryman, and although they did not know the people of the 1st Division of the Polish Legion, they knew that the slaughtered robes were comrades they could trust their lives with in times of danger, and they could not spare the men who wantonly slaughtered their comrades.

Under the fanatical pursuit of the Cossack regiments, a small part of the Bashpozuk cavalry unit was gradually overtaken by the Cossack cavalry.

These Bashpozuk cavalry, who were about to catch up, were also resolute fellows, and they knew that they could not escape, so they turned to fight for the possibility of survival for their companions.

Their speed began to decrease consciously, and the Cossack cavalry units following behind them were also aware of their next move, and General Shyldel gave the order to divide the troops.

A part of the Cossack cavalry moved to the left and right, trying to bypass this group of Bashpozuk cavalry to continue the pursuit. The troops led by Hanum.

The rest of the large force slowed down with the Bashpozuk cavalry, and the two stopped less than 30 meters apart.

On one of them was the Bashpozuk cavalry, which consisted of only about a hundred people, and its combat capabilities were erratic. On the other side are the long-established cavalry units, numbering around 500 people.

With such a huge disparity in strength, there is no suspense at all.

Looking at the group of Bashpozuk cavalrymen dressed in various tunics and wearing uniform white turbans, General Shirdel said to them in Turkic, "Throw yourself to avoid death".

In the face of General Sherdel's persuasion to surrender, the Bashpozuk cavalry did not speak, but raised their saber to show their attitude,

The saber was particularly dazzling in the setting sun behind Bashpozuk, and General Sherdel, who could not persuade him to surrender, sighed slightly, and decided to send the Bashpozuk cavalry back to the arms of their master, Allah, in the most gentlemanly way.

Silder also drew his saber, and the Cossack cavalry drew his saber along with General Sheldel, and the setting sun shone on the faces of the Cossack cavalrymen, making each Cossack cavalry look particularly solemn.

"Kill!"

With the order of General Sherdel, the Cossack cavalry charged the Bashpozuk cavalry.

The Bashpozuk cavalry also rushed to the Cossack cavalry units, and the battle began beside the bushes on the outskirts of the Silistra fortress.

One of the Bashpozuk cavalry was cut down by the Cossack cavalry, and after a round, there were less than 30 Bashpozuk cavalry left, and the Cossacks also paid the price of 30 men.

The two sides, having taken a little breath, began to fight again, and this time all the remaining Bashpozuk cavalry were cut down by the Cossack cavalry, and the blood ran down the corpses of the Bashpozuk cavalry on the slightly dry ground.

Looking at the group of Bashpozuk cavalry in front of him who had fallen to the ground and died, Sterdel showed a touch of respect on his face.

Although they and this group of Bashpozuk cavalry were enemies of life and death on the battlefield, aside from the hostile relationship between the two countries, he still respected these people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country.

This reminded him of himself at the beginning, when Szeldeldel joined the Russian Imperial Army under the slogan of defending his homeland and country, and followed the Russian Empire to defeat Napoleon.

Just over 40 years later, he was about to start a battle with another Napoleon.

It's just that this time they don't have the enthusiasm to defend their home and country and resist aggression.

Thinking of this, Sterdel could not help but sigh for the current Russian Empire.

He did not understand that in the past 40 years, the Russian Imperial Army had become what it is now.

Who is it that led the Russian Empire to where it is now?

Could it really be that the Tsar caused everything that faced the Russian Empire, as the Decembrists claimed?

Schneider couldn't help but be frightened by his disrespectful thoughts, and he shook his head desperately to banish them.

Just when General Sterdell was distracted, he was originally pursuing Fatima. Hanum's Cossack cavalry turned out to be the way it came.

General Sherdel asked the reason for this, and the Cossack cavalry told him that they would be Fatima if they were not familiar with the terrain. Hanum and the others lost it.

"Hey! It's not your fault! General Sterdel sighed and ordered the Cossack cavalry to return to the camp of the 1st Division.

When General Sherdel returned to the camp of the 1st Division with the Cossack cavalry, he saw Deputy Commander Gorchakov in the open space of the camp.

The current deputy commander of Gorchakov was standing there with a gloomy face, and General Shyldel hurriedly dismounted and whispered to the soldiers in the camp what had happened.

The soldiers in the camp whispered to Shyldel that Deputy Commander Gorchakov was angry about the loss of the 1st Division.

When General Sterdell asked where Brigadier General Orlov Jr. was, the soldier gloomily told Scheldel that Brigadier General Orlov Jr. and the two brigade commanders had been killed by the coalition forces.

The weapons in the hands of the Allied forces had a longer range than the weapons in their hands, and Brigadier General Orlov Jr. was caught off guard by a shot in the head and died.

Hearing the soldier's answer, Sildel couldn't help but gasp, and the gloating in his heart about Brigadier General Orlov Jr. turned into sadness.

If he had been the general in charge of the offensive this time, I am afraid that his end would not have been much better than that of Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

Because he himself prefers to be on the front line more than Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

"That's it! I know! General Sterdell nodded at the soldiers.

General Silder, having handed over his horse to the soldiers, came to the deputy commander of Gorchakov and reported to Gorchakov on their achievements.

Gorchakov, who heard that General Sheldel had slaughtered the Bashpozouk cavalry, barely showed a smile and encouraged General Sherdel to make persistent efforts.

General Sterdel pretended to be casual and questioned Brigadier General Orlov Jr., and Gorchakov told General Scherdel of Brigadier Orlov Jr.'s death.

"Hey! What a misfortune! Brigadier General Orlov ...... at such a young age," Shyldel said to Deputy Commander Gorchakov with a sad face.

"And that's not the worst ......," Gorchakov told Shyldel, adding that when he had just counted the number of troops, he found that the Russian Empire had suffered about 5,000 casualties on the first day alone.

To make matters worse, the proportion of casualties among officers is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

"I bet! Those guys on the other side must be intent on eliminating our command staff! Deputy Commander Gorchakov responded to General Shyldel in a dull tone: "Now the 1st Division is about to become a shelf division!" ”

The combat effectiveness of any army without sufficient and experienced officers will inevitably decline, and the combat effectiveness of the 1st Division of the Polish Legion, which has lost a large number of middle and low-ranking Luo officers, will not expect to make any major improvement in a short period of time.

"Are we going to go on the offensive then?" General Silder asked tentatively.

"Attack? What kind of attack we are taking now, the coalition forces are clearly trying to target our grassroots command! Once they go to war, they will be taken care of! And the smoothbore guns in our hands are a lot worse than them in terms of range and accuracy, how are we going to attack? Deputy Commander Gorchakov complained to himself, and then sighed to himself: "Withdraw the troops!" ”
