Young Jérôme. Captain Patterson, in his energetic tone, vividly recounted to Commander Raglan the blocking battle that took place on the Sevastopol Trail, which made Commander Raglan feel like he was there.

The overjoyed Commander Raglan immediately congratulated the French Empire on its decisive victory on the Sevastopol Trail and asked Jérôme about it. Captain Patterson, what the French army needs them to do.

"Commander Raglan, I have come to inform you on the orders of Commander Perissier! I hope you will be able to lead your troops to the vicinity of the north bank of Sevastopol! "Jérôme. Captain Patterson saluted Commander Raglan before adding, "We must hurry up and deploy!" ”

Jérôme. As soon as Patterson's words fell, Commander Raglan smiled and said, "Patterson, tell me honestly!" Pelissier that guy is not ready to attack Sevastopol! ”

Jérôme. Patterson was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and responded to Commander Raglan, "I don't know what Commander Perissier's next move is!" He just told me to inform you guys to go as soon as possible! ”

"Your new commander-in-chief is really a guy who doesn't show a drop of water!" Commander Raglan grumbled with a smile, and then said to Jérôme. Patterson responded, "Go back and tell you Commander-in-Chief, that I will immediately lead the British army over!" ”

"Thank you very much for your cooperation!" Jérôme. Patterson saluted Commander Raglan again, then turned and left Mount Kurgan.

Looking at Jérôme. Patterson's back as he left, Commander Raglan spoke: "Just Jerome. What Captain Patterson said, you all heard it clearly! ”

The generals present nodded their heads, and then Commander Raglan ordered the Duke of Cardigan: "Hurry up and support the 4th Division with your cavalry, I suspect that the defeated Russian army is approaching there!" ”

The Duke of Cambridge, who was standing on the side and the commander of the Guards Division and deputy commander of the expeditionary force, rode forward side by side with Commander Raglan and said, "Your Excellency, commander, do you want to send the Guards Division over to help!" It would not be good if the 4th Division was defeated by a rout! ”

"The Fourth Division will not be defeated by a group of soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit!" Commander Raglan replied categorically, and then added: "If he is really defeated, then he will take off this uniform for me and go home to coax the child!" I don't need a general in my army who can't even defeat a rout! ”

Commander Raglan's resolute attitude made the Duke of Cambridge dare not fight for George anymore. Sir Cassyket said a word, and he could only pray silently in his heart for the Fourth Division.

After Count Cardigan led his light cavalry to the vicinity of the Kacha River, Commander Raglan took out the pocket watch that was placed on his chest near his heart, and it was already 4:45 p.m., more than 6 hours had passed since Commander Raglan launched his first attack, and only 55 minutes had passed since the Kurgan Mountains were conquered, which meant that the normal battle between the two peaks of Kurgan and Telegraph Hill had only taken 5 hours.

"Let's go!"

With the order of Commander Raglan, the British command system, which had been silent for a while, was once again in operation, and the British army, which had just rested for 40 minutes, stood up under the officer's whip and riding boots, and the soldiers who were still in good physical condition marched in two columns to the Sevastopol fortress, and the British and Russian soldiers who were missing arms and legs were temporarily placed on the Kurgan Mountain, waiting for the follow-up medical troops to transport them all to the small town of Yevpatoria in the rear for treatment. The more seriously wounded soldiers were sent to Constantinople for treatment.

In short, the British army has no time to slowly grind here, and they must reach the north bank of the Sevastopol fortress as soon as possible!

By the time the British army led by Commander Raglan crossed the Kacha River and reached the farmstead near the Belbe River on the north bank of Sevastopol, it was completely dark, and Sevastopol in the distance was now completely hidden in darkness.

Marching in the dark was undoubtedly a dangerous thing, especially since there were still a large number of night blindness in the British army, so Commander Raglan gave up his intention of making peace with the French army, and instead ordered his troops to be stationed on the spot, and then led his adjutant to continue on the march, and finally reached the French army, which was about 2 kilometers away from him.

Led by French officers, Commander Raglan was taken to the interior of a modest farmstead.

"Commander Raglan, St. Marshal Arno and Commander-in-Chief Pellisier are inside! The officer in charge of leading the way said to Commander Raglan in a low voice.

"St. Arno, he's awake? Commander Raglan asked, with a hint of surprise on his face.

"The marshal woke up last night! It's just that his body is no longer suitable for high-intensity command, so General Pelisier temporarily took his place! The French officer will wake up Commander Raglen.

The French officer then bid farewell to Commander Raglan, who entered the French command post with his adjutant.

"Knock Knock"

With a crisp knock on the door, the saint who sat next to the map. Marshal Arnaud and General Perissier raised their heads to look at the gate, and the figure of Commander Raglan appeared in front of the gate. Marshal Arnault and Pellissier immediately stood up to greet him and shook hands with Commander Raglan.

Commander Raglan for the Holy One. Marshal Arnault was pleased to be able to return in good health, and at the same time praised Pellissier's actions in the Battle of Arma.

Had it not been for the rapid capture of Telegraph Hill by the French army, which caused turmoil in the minds of the Russian troops on Mount Kurgan, the Kingdom of Britain would not have won so quickly.

Saint. Marshal Arnault smiled wryly and told Commander Raglan that his body had not recovered and that the actual command of the French expeditionary force was still Pélicier.

"That's right! General Pelisier has a bold plan, Commander Raglan is not interested in hearing about it! "St. Marshal Arnault said to Commander Raglan.

"What's the plan?" Commander Raglan was immediately interested.

"In that blocking battle on the Sevastopol trail, we caught a general of the Russian Empire! He told us that there were only about 10,000 people left in the whole of Sevastopol, and that the cities in the north were also in disrepair, so General Pelisier wanted to try to attack the north of Sevastopol! If we can successfully occupy the north, then we will be able to cut off the supply of southern Sevastopol to Russia! "St. Marshal Arnault responded to Commander Raglan.

"It's really a hero's vision!" Commander Raglan couldn't help but sigh, and then asked which of the captured Russian Imperial generals was.

"Lieutenant General Kiriako! He was the one who fought us at Telegraph Hill! "St. Marshal Arnault recalled the state of Lieutenant General Kiriako at that time, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily smiled.

Commander Raglan nodded, a little more convinced of the emptiness of the Sevastopol fortress's defenses.

After all, this is the biggest general the coalition has ever captured. If even his words are not credible, then there are probably not many credible people in the whole of Crimea.

"You can give it a try!" Commander Raglan nodded in agreement with Pelisier's suggestion, and then added: "However, we will not do anything until all our artillery units have arrived!"

"It's nature!" Saint. Marshal Arno nodded and responded: "Not only the artillery troops, but also the tents and backpacks we left on the south bank of the Alma River must be recovered!" It's been a bitter two days! ”

Since the French army forced their way all the way to the north bank of the Sevastopol fortress, their camp tents and artillery equipment were all left on the south bank of the Alma River, which was destined to deal with them for several days in the wilderness north of the Sevastopol fortress today.

"Alas!" Commander Raglan also sighed, for the British forces were facing the same problems as the French Empire.

……

After returning from the French garrison to the British garrison, Commander Raglan had a brief meeting with his division commander under the dim lamp of mutin.

Commander Raglan at the meeting informed the officers present of the upcoming military operations and asked them to maintain the morale of the British army.

Although the officers present felt a trace of resentment in their hearts for Commander Raglan's unsympathetic behavior of the troops, they assured Commander Raglan that they would complete the task assigned by Commander Raglan.

Early the next morning, horse-drawn wagons appeared on the north bank of Sevastopol, bringing tents and artillery left behind on the south bank of the Arma River for the Anglo-French troops, who were responsible for escorting them to the Turkish army.

At the same time, the Anglo-French fleet on the coast also sent supplies to the Anglo-French forces, including biscuits, canned food, bread (for the French army), vegetables, corned beef jerky (for the British army), wine, etc.

This abundant supply greatly alleviated the war-weariness of the British and French armies, and the arrival of wine made the British and French armies cheer.

The staff officers of the British, French, and Turkish countries also took advantage of the rest time to count their losses in the battle of the Arma River, of which the largest loss was the Kingdom of Britain, which suffered more than 2,800 casualties in the Battle of Kurgan, equivalent to 9% of the entire army, followed by the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of France, which lost 732 and 431 men respectively, and finally the Ottoman Empire only lost single-digit casualties (the Ottoman Empire was a substitute for the entire battle).

The time soon came to the fourth day, and after two days of transportation, all the weapons and equipment of the British, French, and Turkish countries finally arrived on the north shore.

In the afternoon of the same day, a telegram from Paris arrived in St. Constantinople. In the hands of Marshal Arnault, this telegram made the originally slightly hesitant St. Arnault. Marshal Arnault made up his mind to attack the northern fortress of Sevastopol.

In order to find out the wishes of the other three commanders, St. In the name of the Allied Command, Arnault summoned the commanders of the other three countries to the French Command to discuss countermeasures.
