"Quick!"

The Duke of Cambridge and Fatima, who heard the sound of gunfire in the distance, hurried in the direction of the gunfire.

Just as the two British and Turkish cavalry regiments hurried to the place of the incident to support, a cavalry group of several hundred men rushed towards them, led by none other than Sir Lugan.

At this time, he no longer looked like he was scolding Fang Xuan when he was chasing the Cossack cavalry, but like a lost dog being chased.

And behind the light cavalry led by Sir Lugan was a Cossack cavalry of about 100 men.

The sab-armed Cossack cavalry gave a strange taunt at Sir Lugan's troops as they pursued Sir Lugan's ranks.

The laughter made every light cavalry behind the Duke of Cambridge feel resentful, and the commander of the 4th Hussar Regiment who followed the Duke of Cambridge could not help but ask the Duke of Cambridge to fight, he really did not want to see the prestige of the light cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Britain destroyed by a handful of nobles who did not understand the cavalry fighting.

"Go ahead!" The Duke of Cambridge, whose face was slightly gloomy, interrupted a sentence to the commander of the cavalry regiment who asked for battle, and at the same time stared at Sir Lugan, who fled in embarrassment.

There was a moment when the Earl of Cambridge wished that Sir Lugan would die on the battlefield like a knight, instead of being chased by men several times their strength as he was now, which was too humiliating.

"Yes!" The commander of the 4th Corps, who received the order, immediately led his own cavalry. Rushed in the direction where Sir Lugan was.

On the other hand, Sir Lugan, who was being pursued by the Cossack cavalry, had a happy smile on his face after seeing the Duke of Cambridge and Fatima.

Sir Lugan knew that he was saved...... No matter what punishment he would face when he returned to the barracks, he had managed to get out of danger now. Now all he has to do is ......

In the sight of the Duke of Cambridge, Sir Lugan's speed gradually decreased.

"Stop!" Sir Lugan let out a hearty shout.

After hearing Sir Lugan's order, the frightened light cavalry regiment subconsciously carried out Sir Lugan's order, and the light cavalry regiment of several hundred people immediately stopped.

Sir Lugan then drew his sword pinned to his waist and ordered his cavalry to turn back, and the cavalry immediately reversed course.

When the hussars turned around, they saw that the Cossack cavalry unit that had been chasing them was now under attack by the 4th Hussar Regiment.

The gallant and fearless 4th Hussar Regiment was commanded by their regiment commander, John Brown. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Douglas, the Cossacks armed with sabers fought with the sword, and because the difference in equipment between the two sides was too large, and the morale and will to fight were roughly the same, this Cossack cavalry of nearly 100 men was eliminated by the 4th Cavalry Regiment by dividing it by two.

Looking at the Cossack cavalry fleeing south, Sir Lugan and the surviving members of the cavalry regiment felt very ashamed.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lugan!" An angry call reached Sir Lugan's ears, and it didn't take him to know that the voice was made by the Duke of Cambridge.

Sir Lugan followed the source of the sound and turned his head to look at him, and the Duke of Cambridge was riding towards him with an angry face.

"Your Excellency Deputy Commander!" Sir Lugan smiled wryly and addressed the Duke of Cambridge's military office.

"What the hell are you doing! How could such a low-level mistake be made...... You're still an experienced commander...... Don't you see that this is a low-level trap? The Duke of Cambridge reprimanded Sir Lugan like a cannon.

Sir Lugan accepted the Duke of Cambridge's rebuke without saying a word, and the Duke of Cambridge was right, this low-level mistake was really not a mistake that an officer of his rank could make, and he was willing to accept all the criticism of the Duke of Cambridge, even if the Duke of Cambridge directly sent him to a court-martial, he had no complaints.

On the other hand, the Duke of Cambridge's rebuke also protected him.

If the Duke of Cambridge had not said a word, Lugan would have been reprimanded even more when he returned to the barracks.

Now that the Duke of Cambridge had counted Duke Lugan in front of everyone, the Duke of Cambridge had a reason to say a few kind words for Commander Raglan on his behalf.

Will Sir Lugan scold the Duke of Cambridge after seeing the return of the 4th Hussar Regiment John. After Lieutenant Colonel Douglas, he beckoned to let John. Lieutenant Colonel Douglas came up to him and pointed at John. Douglas and Fatima said to Sir Lugan, "If it weren't for them, you and your men would have died!" Thank them too much! ”

Sir Lugan hurried to John. Douglas and Fatima thanked him and apologized for the verbal confrontation he had just given against Fatima.

Fatima saw the Duke of Cambridge's face and forgave Sir Lugan.

The Duke of Cambridge then asked Lugan if his hussar regiment had encountered the infantry units of the Russian Empire.

Lugan nodded and said to the Duke of Cambridge: "Your Excellency, Deputy Commander, the Russian Empire has about a division of troops hidden in the dense forest!" My troops and I were careless and fell into their trap. ”

"Accidental? I think you're taking it lightly! The Earl of Cambridge was an outspoken critic of Sir Lugan.

"Yes! I did take it lightly! I am willing to accept all the punishment that the coalition forces have given me! Sir Lugan continued to self-criticize.

"Forget it! Don't worry about that for now, you lead the way! The Earl of Cambridge said to Sir Lugan, "Bury the bodies of those warriors who fought for freedom!" ”

"Your Excellency, Deputy Commander, are we going back?" Sir Lugan said to the Duke of Cambridge with a slight tremor in his voice.

"What? You're scared! Aren't you very bold! The Duke of Cambridge replied sarcastically to Sir Lugan.

"I'm afraid I'll ...... if they're still around," Sir Lugan said, expressing his concerns.

"They're not going to be there anymore!" The Duke of Cambridge replied to Sir Lugan in a firm tone: "The reason why they ambushed there was to catch us off guard! Now that their purpose has been achieved, staying there any longer will only put themselves in danger. ”

The Duke of Cambridge's words reluctantly relieved Sir Lugan.

Led by Sir Lugan, the Duke of Cambridge and others came to the place where Sir Lugan was ambushed.

As the Duke of Cambridge had anticipated, the 17th Division under Menshikov moved without the slightest attachment after the first blow.

The ground was full of corpses of the British Light Cavalry Regiment, and after a careful count, it was found that there were 267 corpses in the dense forest, which was equivalent to half of the number of people who followed Sir Lugan to break through the siege, and the original number of a regiment was 1,000, which means that 199 people are still missing.

In this battle alone, Menshikov wiped out the cavalry units of almost two companies in Britain (one company in Britain was 250 men).

"Buried it!" Looking at the corpses of British soldiers in the sunset, the Duke of Cambridge sighed slightly and said to John Brown. Lieutenant Colonel Douglas responded.

John. Lieutenant Colonel Douglas immediately organized men to bury the dead British cavalry on the spot, and Sir Lugan and Fatima also ordered their men to bury them together.

It took nearly an hour for the crowd to bury all the bodies, and on the way a few British cavalrymen coughed, and the Duke of Cambridge and everyone present did not pay any attention to it.

"Let's go back!" After all the bodies were buried, the Duke of Cambridge gave the order to those present to return.

The Duke of Cambridge, who had returned to the camp in Britain, immediately went with Sir Raglan to Commander Raglan and reported to Commander Raglan of his mistake.

"You! You! What did you think at the beginning, I promise! Commander Raglan pointed at Sir Lugan, who had his head bowed.

Sir Lugan also accepted all criticism from Commander Raglan without saying a word.

Looking at Sir Lugan, who was humbly accepting criticism, Commander Raglan sighed and asked Sir Lugan, "Say it! How do you want me to punish you! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, you know that you have made a serious mistake! You can punish me however you want! Sir Lugan pleaded with Commander Raglan with all sincerity: "I beg only that my ancestors will not be dusted by what I have done!" ”

"You know shame!" Commander Raglan also sneered: "If your ancestors knew what you are like now, they would probably ......."

Commander Raglan stopped talking, then sighed again, paced back and forth twice, and said, "Forget it! Now I will remove you from the post of commander of the Thirteenth Hussar Regiment, and you will study hard with the Duke of Cambridge! ”

"Yes!" Commander Raglan hastened to thank Commander Raglan for his careless gesture, which allowed Lugan to remain in the barracks.

"Be honest with me in the future! Use your brain more when you encounter things! Commander Raglan once again warned Sir Lugan, and it was clear that Commander Raglan still had plans to reinstate Sir Lugan.

"Yes!" Sir Lugan replied to Commander Raglan in a sonorous tone.

Early the next morning, the Anglo-French troops continued to advance on the pontoon bridge built by the engineers overnight, crossed the Bulganak River and marched briskly towards the Arma River. After Marshal Arnault fell ill, Commander Raglan was appointed by default to replace St. Arnault. The commander-in-chief of Field Marshal Arnault was determined to reach the north bank of the Arma River before dark, and then spend another week sweeping away the Russian Imperial Army on the south bank of the Alma River, a shame that had been committed by the British army before the snow.

Therefore, in this battle of Arma, the Kingdom of Britain must fight for the position of the main attack.

Thinking of this, Commander Raglan couldn't help but look to the right, and the French Empire, lined up in two pairs, was advancing in an orderly manner.

At this time, the new acting commander-in-chief of France, Pélicier, who was riding on a horse, was staring intently at the Alma River in the distance.
