After seeing such a large army, the Turkish army, which was already full of soldiers, subconsciously pushed the artillery out of the fortress, and many soldiers held their rifles and pointed them at the army in the distance, only when the Russian army approached, they would use bullets to let these Russian soldiers know that they were powerful.

As the army approached the vicinity of Fort Tabialen, the officers defending the fort saw the army's flag and flag through binoculars.

The tricolor flag, which symbolizes the French Empire, and the rice flag, which symbolizes the Kingdom of Britain, are displayed in the wind.

"Wait!" The harvest officer caught a cold and ordered his soldiers to lay down their weapons, knowing that the army in front of him was there to help them.

"Sir, why don't you fight? They killed so many of us! Ignorant of the flag, the Egyptian soldiers shouted at the officers.

"Idiot, they're here to help me." The officer defending the city shouted.

"Hey! Is there an enemy willing to help us? Aren't they a bunch? The Egyptian soldier scratched his head and muttered to himself.

In the minds of the vast majority of Ottoman subjects, there were only the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire in the world, and the rest were either countries that opposed the Russian Empire or were lackeys of the Russian Empire.

Moreover, they believe that there are only the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire in the world, and there are also lackeys of the Russian Empire.

Regardless of the type of person, there are only two options for understanding international relations: permanent friends and permanent friends, and under the dictate thinking, a kind of extreme religion is born (the state of a unified nation gives birth to fanatical nationalism).

"Idiot!" Again, the officer scolded the soldier in Arabic.

When the coalition forces arrived less than 500 meters away from Fort Tabia, Major General Conrobert was surprised by the scene in front of him.

A trench parallel to the trench of the Tabia Fort blocked the advance of the Allied troops, and looking forward along the parallel trench, the Z-shaped trench extended to the bottom of the trench of the Fort of Tabia, which should be the tactics used by the Russian Imperial Army in order to approach the fort, and the tactics used by Marshal Vauban more than two hundred years ago were basically not much different, and the only difference was that Marshal Vauban did not have an artillery unit as accurate as in the 19th century.

Under such tactics, the Russian Imperial Army had not yet breached the fortress, and Major General Conrobert had a trace of admiration for the defending Turkish troops.

The road ahead was now covered with Z-shaped approaching trenches, and Conrobell could only order the troops to enter the trenches and walk in the direction of the fortress.

Driven by the gunpowder and foul smell of gunpowder in the trenches, the Allied troops entering the Z-shaped trenches soon reached the trench below the Tabia Fortress. Here, the coalition forces saw an even more shocking scene.

In the trench under the castle, behind the earthen breastwall, there were a large number of bloody corpses. Most of the fortress's battlements and cannon holes had been destroyed, and broken masonry was scattered haphazardly on the ground. Blood was spilled on the walls, staining the bricks black and red, and a large intestine that had crumbled from an unknown corpse lay quietly in the corner of the fortress...... The whole scene is like hell on earth.

Rao is a battle-hardened soldier, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he can't help but want to spit out his breakfast.

Under the double stimulation of the strong fishy smell and the smell of gunpowder, Jérôme, who has almost zero actual combat experience. Captain Patterson finally couldn't help but vomit: "Gross! ”

Major General Conrobel looked at the scene in front of him with a nonchalant expression, he had seen even more bloody scenes when he had followed Marshal Biro to encircle and suppress the rebels in Algiers.

"My name is Conrobert, the commander of the 1st French Division, and I am here to support you on orders from the Allied Army Command!" Major General Conrobert tilted his head and said in French to the Turkish soldiers on the fortress.

The translator, who was standing next to Major General Conrobel, hurriedly translated his words into Turkic and repeated them to the Turkish soldiers on the fortress.

The Turkish officers on the fortress hurriedly opened the gates of the fortress to welcome the arrival of this new force after hearing that Conrobel had arrived on behalf of the coalition headquarters.

"Welcome! My friend! I'm the agent of the Tabia Fortress stationed at Hadem! The bearded middle-aged man in a Turkish military hat greeted him as he held Conrobel tightly.

After months of solitary action, they finally received new reinforcements, and Hardham immediately thanked General Conrobel.

Thank you to him for his selfless support to the fortress of Silistra during their most difficult time.

Hadham knew that part of the reason for the settlement of the fortress of Silistra was the arrival of Conrobel and the others.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the coalition forces, which made the Russian Empire besieging the fortress of Silistra feel like a man's back, and thus gave up the intention of besieging the fortress of Silistra, I am afraid that the Russian Empire would definitely not give up.

The Ottoman army is afraid that many more people will die.

"Save your people, your bravery and perseverance!" Major General Conrobert praised Hardham bluntly: "It is precisely because of your unremitting resistance that the Russian Imperial Army retreated. You saved everyone in this fortress, and you saved the fortress and the country behind you. I'm sure your book list will give you great rewards and the medals you want! ”

Conrobel's words of praise sent an embarrassed smile to Hardham's face.

After all, your own family knows your own business. If the coalition forces really didn't arrive, they probably wouldn't be able to resist for a few days before they fell. Even if this area has become a fallen area, as long as the large number of coalition forces can reach it smoothly, then this battle will still be fought. The Ottoman Empire was far from being destroyed, but at that time, their role in the Anglo-French alliance was probably much lower than it is now.

"Thanks to the Anglo-French forces for their contribution to the Russian Empire, everyone in the fortress will not forget!" Once again, Hardham thanked General Conrobel.

At the invitation of Hardham, Conrobell and the others entered the interior of the Tabia Fortress.

Looking at the devastated ground inside the fortress, Conrobel sighed again.

After entering the fortress, Conrobel was informed by Hadham that Musa Pasha, who had been stationed in the Tabia Fortress, still did not return to the fortress of Silistra. If Major General Conrobel wishes, he can lead Conrobel and the others to the Fortress of Silistra to meet with the commander of the Fortress of Sillistra, Omar Pasha.

Major General Conrobel nodded in agreement with Hadham's suggestion, and Hadham led Major General Conrobel to the fortress of Silistra to meet with Omar Pasha of the fortress of Silistra.

Maj. Gen. Conrobel, who entered Omar Pasha's residence, told him that Omar Pasha needed some sobering time because he had drunk too much alcohol last night.

"I can wait!" Conrobel nodded in response to the servant.

"Please follow me!" Led by the servant, Major General Conrobert entered the living room.

After about half an hour, Omar Pasha, dressed in military uniform, appeared in front of Conrobel.

"General Conrobel, I've heard of it for a long time!" Omar Pasha stretched out his hand and said politely to Conrobel.

"Omar Pasha, you've won a prize!" Major General Conrobert responded modestly, and then praised in a brisk tone: "I really admire your ability to keep the Russian Empire out of the country for several months with a 4 to 1 inferior force (the two Danube principalities were already completely puppet states of the Russian Empire in the eyes of Europeans at that time)!" ”

"Nothing!" Omar Pasha also humbly self-deprecating: "I'm just a mediocre man who only knows a little bit of defensive skills!" If you were to defend it, General Conrobel, I'm afraid it would be much better than me. ”

Major General Conrobert smiled noncommittally, judging from his observation of the soldiers of the Russian Imperial Army and the Turkish bastions, if he had commanded the battle, he would have been much more radical than Omar Pasha.

Because the overall quality of the troops stationed in Turkey was greater than that of the serfs of the Russian Empire, blind defense would only lead to a passive situation everywhere.

After a brief exchange of praise, Omar Pasha and Major General Conrobel immediately got to the point, and the two of them focused on the current situation facing the fortress of Silistra.

Omar Pasha thinks. The coalition forces were to join forces with the Turkish forces and march north to expel the Russian Empire from the Danube principalities.

Major General Conrobert will St. St. Marshal Arnault's strategy was told to Omar Pasha, "According to our observations, the fortress of Silistra and its surrounding areas are simply not capable of supporting a large army, which means that all the equipment and supplies of our army must be transported by Varna, and we do not know that we will have to go through all kinds of risks along the way!" Our army thinks that rushing north is an extremely risky strategy, and we should give full play to the superiority of the navy to land on the Sevastopol fortress, and then annihilate the defenders of the Sevastopol fortress in one fell swoop and win peace on the European continent! ”

"Does this really work?" Omar Pasha asked in disbelief: "Will the Russian Empire really do everything for the fortress of Sevastopol?" ”

"Definitely!" Major General Conrobel replied to Omar Pasha in a firm tone: "The fortress of Sevastopol itself entrusts all the dreams of the tyrant Nicholas I, and he will not give up this place!" ”

"What is going to happen to the fortress of Silistra? And what about the Russian Imperial Army on the North Shore? Omar Pasha then asked Major General Conrobel.

"What big moves are the Russian Imperial Army on the North Shore making in a short period of time! When the troops attack Sevastopol, there is a high probability that they will be sent by the tsar to fight there! ”
