When Conrobel and Boques arrived at Pelisier's location, Perissier immediately informed Conrobel and General Boques of their next course of action.

Conrobel and Boques looked at General Perissier in surprise, they did not understand why Commander Perissier had acted earlier, whether something had changed.

After General Pelisier had finished making arrangements for the operation, General Conrobert, who had this question, asked Commander Perissier: "Your Excellency, Commander, isn't our original plan to do it tomorrow?" Why act a day earlier, and in a hurry! Did something happen? ”

Perissier glanced at Conrobert and nodded in response, "Something did happen!" ”

Commander Perissier then told Brigadier General Trochu about the battle on the south bank to Conrobert and Bosquet.

The expressions of Conrobel and Boskai were even more shocked, the combat effectiveness of the Russian Imperial soldiers had broken through the bottom line of the two of them.

Brigadier General Trochu was able to achieve such a feat with an army of only 5,000 men, whether it was because the British and French armies were too strong in combat or because the Russian Imperial Army was too weak in combat effectiveness.

"This ...... That's really ...... It's too ......" Major General Boskai was already speechless with astonishment.

"In the coming period, the soldiers on the south bank of Sevastopol will definitely devote all their strength to the battle for the fortress, so we must create a big movement on the north bank to attract their attention!" General Pelisier replied categorically to Conrobel and Boques.

"What about Britain?" General Conrobert asked Pelissier, "Do you need to consult them on this matter?" ”

"There's not much time left! We must act soon! "Pelissier has shown determination as a good commander.

A good commander must have a keen sense of war and be able to make important decisions in an extreme amount of time.

Any hesitation will tip the scales of war in favor of the other side.

The historical offensive and defensive battles of the Sevastopol fortress were because of the indecision of the British and French commanders, so that the commanders in the Sevastopol fortress had a lot of time to fortify and fortress Sevastopol, so that countless British and French troops shed blood in front of the fortress.

If it weren't for the historical Commander Pelisier who captured Sevastopol at all costs, I'm afraid that Sevastopol would really become a bloodletting trough for the British and French armies.

At this time, Sevastopol had not yet begun to be fortified and fortified, and the panic inside Sevastopol was continuous, so it was easy for the British and French troops to occupy the fortress near the port residential area on the south bank of Sevastopol.

If we wait a little longer, I am afraid it will be difficult to storm this fortress of restored morale.

As soon as Commander Perissier's words fell, Conrobert and General Bosquet hurriedly said: They will definitely obey Commander Perissier's orders, please Commander Perissier give them orders!

Commander Perissier then handed over the task of attacking the Star Fortress to General Conrobert of the 1st Division, and Major General Bosquet of the 2nd Division also replaced Britain and guarded the flanks of the 1st Division.

"That's all I have to say! How to act, the staff officer of the headquarters will hand over the plan to you in a moment! Perissier glanced at his pocket watch and said to Conrobert and Boques: "It's 3:20 and you only have 1 hour and 20 minutes to get your team in order!" Around 4:40, I need to see an elite division! Do you understand? ”

Although Commander Perissier's request was somewhat difficult for a strong man, Conrobert and Bosquet could only promise that Pellisier would definitely assemble the troops in the shortest possible time!

"Go ahead! Don't let me down! General Perissier waved his hand and gave Conrobert and Bosquet an "eviction order".

Shortly after the departure of Conrobert and General Bosquet, the Expeditionary Staff handed over an offensive plan to Perissier.

"Commander Perissier, this plan is a revised plan based on our plan of attack for June 6 (that is, tomorrow)! I don't know if you're satisfied! The staff officer, who stood next to Commander Pellisier, said to Pellisier.

Pelissier spent four minutes carefully reading through the staff plan, and then closed the plan.

Under the apprehensive gaze of the staff officer of the General Staff, Pelissier spoke: "The plan is well done! But ......"

"But what?" The staff officer of the General Staff nervously asked Pelissier.

"You've run out of time for 10 minutes!" Perisier pointed to his pocket watch and said to the staff officer.

"I ......" The staff officer of the staff department breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he also thought that this plan would be rejected.

"Next time, remember to hand it in on time!" Pelissier took out a pencil from his military pocket, signed his name, and handed the plan back to the staff officer: "Now you immediately convey this plan to the troops who need to carry out the plan, hurry!" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer of the staff hurriedly saluted in response, and then trotted away from Pelisier.

At 4:40 p.m., the June sun was still shining brightly in the western sky, emitting a seemingly endless stream of light and heat.

At this moment, there was not a single cloud in the blue sky, and near the north bank of Sevastopol under the sky, a team of nearly 20,000 people was marching in two columns towards the Star Fortress in the distance, led by their division commander Conrobel.

Behind this force were two artillery regiments, which consisted of six artillery battalions (eighteen artillery batteries) and a further 108 artillery pieces, of which 72 were 6-pounder Napoleonic field guns and 36 were 12-pounder Napoleonic field guns.

Not to mention the capture of a fortress in disrepair such as the Star Fortress, even an attack on the Four Corners Fortress, which the Austrian Empire was proud of, was more than enough.

The artillery regiment stopped after a kilometer or so from the Star Fortress, and the two commanders of the artillery regiment on horseback divided their guns into two rows, with the small Napoleonic cannon in the front and the big Napoleon in the back.

"Reload!"

With the order of the commander of the artillery regiment, the soldiers of the artillery regiment pried open the shell box and loaded the shells into the artillery.

After about 10 minutes, all the guns were reloaded.

The regimental commander, who was holding a command knife, pointed the tip of the knife to the distance and looked at the fortress and shouted: "Fire!" ”

108 shells flew out of the chamber and fired at the Star Fortress in the distance.

Shells rained down like cannonballs near the Star Fortress, and the earth began to tremble.

The more than 2,000 defenders in the Star Fortress couldn't help but panic when they heard the movement of the fortress.

"Sir...... We...... Can we really hold on? The soldier behind the chest wall of the fortress asked the commander beside him, holding a smoothbore gun.

"I don't know!" The commander replied to the soldier in a trembling voice.

He was also unsure if they would be able to hold it, as the fortress had few weapons to fight back, only a few Holy King (Alexander I) cannons were pitifully left in the fortress, and it was still a question of whether they could be fired, and the walls inside the fortress had not been repaired for a long time......

"Be careful!"

Just as the chief was thinking about the shortcomings of the fortress, a shout suddenly came from his ears.

The recovering commander subconsciously raised his head to look into the distance, and in his view, a cannonball was smashing into the breastwall where he was in a parabolic trajectory.

Suffered!

Before the commander could react, the cannonball had already smashed down with lightning speed, and the unlucky commander happened to be hit by the flying cannonball, and lost his wisdom on the spot.

The explosion began the next second after the commander was smashed, and the impact took away several soldiers and the improvised breastwork.

The soldiers surrounding the fortress began to consciously move away from the breastwork, and the soldiers inside the fortress were also uncomfortable.

Since the entire fortress has not been repaired for more than 30 years, the walls of the fortress have become very fragile.

The shells easily pierced the walls, causing an explosion that directly injured the defenders inside the fortress.

By the time the troops of the 1st Division approached the Star Fortress, the entire fortress was already full of holes under the attack of Napoleonic artillery of all sizes.

Looking at the dilapidated fortress in front of him, Conrobel couldn't help but be speechless, he really couldn't believe that the fortress built by the Russian Empire had been built to such a point.

As a result, Conrobel silently overturned the planned siege.

A fortress in such a state, a siege is nothing more than a pointless waste of time.

"Up!"

Under Conrobel's orders, the soldiers of the 1st Division changed from a column to a horizontal formation, fanning around the Star Fortress.

Seeing this, the defenders in the fortress immediately called their adjutant and said, "You go to the harbor immediately, and let the warships in the harbor aim their naval guns around our Star Fortress!" ”

"However, this will cost our troops!!" The adjutant responded to the commander of the fortress.

"I can't do so much now!" The commander of the fortress gritted his teeth and replied to the adjutant, and then ordered his men to move the artillery to the city walls, and he was to attack them with the only artillery in the fortress.

The lieutenant, who had left the Star Fortress on horseback, soon found himself near the harbor docks on the North Shore, where he saw an even more desperate scene.

At this time, Russian ships anchored in the fortress of Sevastopol were under shelling, and several ships were on fire.

More crucially, the attacking empire did not enter the port of Sevastopol, but launched a covering bombardment inside the port in a line outside the port.

However, their fleet artillery was unable to effectively fight back, and the technological gap between the two had reached a point of despair.

"Russian Empire...... Finished! ”
