When Count Cardigan led more than 100 cavalry under his command to return to the foot of the Kurgan Mountain, Commander Raglan on the top of the mountain smiled and said to the adjutant and division commander beside him: "Go! Let's celebrate the great achievements together! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Raglan rode down Mount Kurgan and followed the generals beside Raglan down the mountain with Commander Raglan.

Seeing this, Count Cardigan, who was at the foot of the mountain, also led his cavalry troops to the top of the mountain, and the two men on horseback met on the side of Mount Kurgan.

"Commander Raglan! The British Hussar Brigade reports to you! Earl Cardigan saluted Commander Raglan with a solemn expression.

"Brudenel (Earl Cardigan), the cavalry you led is doing a good job! You showed me a perfect cavalry battle! Commander Raglan was not stingy with his words of praise.

Although the cavalry battle just now was not perfect, as long as the cavalry could complete the task he had assigned, it would be a perfect cavalry battle in Commander Raglan's mind.

The British light cavalry under the command of the Duke of Cardigan had clearly fulfilled the task set by Commander Raglan with great success.

"You're overrated!" Duke Cardigan replied modestly.

"I will report your merits to London this time! I hope you and your cavalry troops can keep up the good work! Commander Raglan said with a smile still on his face.

Earl Cardigan also smiled on his serious face when he heard Commander Raglan say something to show merit for them.

For Earl Cardigan, honor was above all else, even above his life.

"That's right!" Commander Raglan suddenly thought of something, and asked as soon as he spoke: "When I was at the top of the mountain just now, I roughly calculated the number of people you just had, why did you only have about a regiment of troops when you just attacked!" Where did the rest of the people go? ”

"I was about to report back to you!" The Duke of Cardigan immediately reported to Commander Raglan what had happened on the banks of the Kacha River, and made his own suggestion to Commander Raglan: "Your Excellency, I suggest that an infantry division be sent to the bandaging station at once!" With a bit of luck, we'll be able to capture a group of defeated Russian troops! ”

"Which of you wants to go?" Commander Raglan asked, glancing back at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions, the Guards Division, the Light Infantry Division, and the Highland Brigade.

"Me!" The seven generals present said in unison.

Commander Raglan glanced at each of them and said to the commander of the 4th Division, George Brown. Sir Cassyket said, "General Cassyket, leave this task to your division!" ”

At the beginning of the war, George was a member of the reserves. Sir Cassykett never imagined that his army would be rewarded with a job at the end of the battle.

"I promise you! The mission will be successfully completed! "George. Sir Casserkett replied to Commander Raglan in a sonorous tone.

"That's it! Go and come back quickly! Commander Raglan waved his hand.

George. Sir Casserket glanced at Earl Cardigan again with gratitude, and then rode away from Commander Raglan.

Watching George. After Ser Casserkett had left, Commander Raglan spoke again: "So to speak! The Sevastopol fortress is now an empty city? ”

At the thought that he would be able to conquer the Sevastopol fortress, Commander Raglan's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

"Quite possibly!" Sir Cardigan nodded in reply, then added, "But it's up to our French allies!" If they were really in the front and stopped the big Russian forces......"

At this moment, a cavalryman in a French uniform gradually moved towards the location of Commander Raglan from a distance, and when this French cavalry came to Commander Raglan, Commander Raglan realized that this was not the little cub of the Bonaparte family.

"Commander Raglan!" Jérôme. Patterson saluted the British prefect in front of him.

"Jérôme, you're here!" Commander Raglan smiled at Jérôme. Patterson said, and then asked, "How is the Sevastopol Trail Blockade going?" ”

"How do you know?" Jérôme. Patterson blurted out.

From the launch of the telegraph hill offensive by the French army, to the pursuit of Lieutenant General Chiriaco's troops, to the fight with Peter. Prince Gorchakov fought fiercely...... France has been in a state of silence throughout the whole process, where did Britain get this news, it is possible that Britain has installed internal response in the French army.

Commander Raglan's next words shattered Jérôme. Patterson's inner doubt: "We heard the news from the defeated Russian army!" I have to say, you guys did a great job! It would have been nice to have let us know in advance! ”

"For this matter, our Commander Perissier has made a point of telling us that we must apologize to you, Commander Raglan! The situation at that time did not give us time to think at all, and we could only throw all the troops in our hands into it! "Jérôme. Patterson explained to Commander Raglan.

"What happened to the Sevastopol trail?" Commander Raglan did not dwell too much on the communication between the two armies, but directly asked about the recent situation of the Sevastopol Trail Blockade.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Jérôme. Patterson told Commander Raglan about the Sevastopol Trail Blockade.

When General Boskai reported to Commander Pellisier in the middle of the line about the capture of the heights of Telegraph Hill, Commander Pellisier immediately ordered the assault brigade to abandon the positions it had occupied and continue the pursuit of the fleeing Lieutenant General Kiriako.

General Bosquet, who received the order, did not hesitate at all, and at the next moment when the herald conveyed Perissier's order, he led his troops in pursuit of the fleeing Lieutenant General Kiriako.

The two sides met less than 5 kilometers from the north bank of Sevastopol, and Kiriako, who was not ready to fight, was directly caught off guard by the assault brigade under General Boskai, and at a distance of 1,400 yards, the Zhuaf soldiers armed with Mine's rifles opened fire first, and the dense gunfire of gunfire heralded the arrival of death, and in the rising smoke, dense point-tipped projectiles were fired towards Kiriako's troops in the distance.

The frightened soldiers of the Russian Empire once again tried the fear of the Migne rifle, and many serf soldiers began to shout this: "Devil's weapon!" ”

Once again, panic spread throughout the army, and soldiers began to flee the battlefield in droves.

By the time the Juaf regiment soldiers arrived about 300 yards from the Russian soldiers, nearly half of the Russian soldiers had already fled.

The remaining half opted for relentlessness, and only a quarter of the Russian soldiers continued to resist.

The Russian soldiers, on the orders of their commanders, began to charge at the forward units of the assault brigade.

The forward troops looked at the soldiers who were constantly rushing towards them, decisively pulled the trigger, and after the end of a round of shooting, dozens of Russian Imperial soldiers fell. Looking at the comrades who kept falling around him, the courage that he had finally mustered up was once again deflated, and the Russian soldiers began to retreat continuously.

Seeing this, the forward troops decisively took the simplest and most brutal way to break the morale of the Russian Empire, which was the bayonet charge.

With the order of the commander of the forward troops, the Zhuaf soldiers charged towards the Russian Imperial Army like a pack of wolves.

After the assault brigade vanguard came into contact with the Moscow regiment, which was also in the vanguard, the morale of the soldiers of the Moscow regiment collapsed completely, and some of the soldiers began to retreat backwards and lefts in an orderly manner, and under the influence of the Moscow regiment, the Minsk regiment also had turmoil.

The soldiers of the two regiments broke up in all directions, and the first resistance ended in a complete victory for the French Empire.

The assault brigade, which had won the first victory, did not rest long before it joined Peter. The second battle began with reinforcements from 8 battalions led by Prince Gorchakov.

Compared to the first battle, the second battle is particularly dangerous.

Peter. Gorchakov's elite troops frantically attacked the assault brigade, intending to close the distance with the assault brigade and then use the Russian Empire's usual bayonets to crush the assault brigade.

This time the tactics of the assault brigade differed from the previous ones, and under the orders of General Boskai, the soldiers of the assault brigade faced Peter. Gorchakov's eight battalions of soldiers fired while distancing themselves from the eight battalions, keeping the distance between the two sides at about 400 yards.

This completely reduced the smoothbore guns in the hands of the soldiers of the Russian Empire to incendiary sticks. Prince Gorchakov's two forward battalions were completely reduced to live targets under the blows of General Boskai.

The two forward battalions suffered heavy casualties, and the charge at the forefront of Peter. Prince Gorchakov and his retinue of lieutenants and staff officers were also shot several times and fell to the ground.

Peter. The fall of Gorchakov also brought the morale of the Russian Empire, which was responsible for reinforcements, to the bottom, and the soldiers of the eight battalions began to break up. Prince Gorchakov, who had not yet completely cooled his body, put himself on his horse, and then fled from the battlefield, and the French Empire won a second victory.

After two battles, the assault brigade finally waited for the support from Commander Perissier, and the Guards Division arrived at the Sevastopol Trail, and Prince Menshikov, who originally wanted to lead his troops to force a breakthrough, had to abandon his journey to the Sevastopol fortress after seeing how the French lined up.

After only pursuing for a while, the Guards Division stopped and watched Prince Menshikov leave.

After the end of the three wars, the French army inflicted nearly 7,000 casualties on the Russian Empire.
