"North Shore...... Finished! ”

Looking at the battleships that were constantly shelling on the south bank, the adjutant let out a cry of despair, and then turned around and hurried towards the barracks on the north bank of Sevastopol.

Since the naval artillery support can no longer be counted on, it is necessary to pull the remaining 1,000 or so people in the barracks to the Star Fortress.

In this case, at least the Star Fortress can hold on for a while.

However, by the time the adjutant arrived at the barracks on horseback, there were already few people left in the barracks, and only a company of less than 250 men and a small detachment of less than 100 militiamen remained.

Looking at the empty barracks in front of him, and the remaining soldiers in the barracks.

The adjutant's head felt like he had been punched with a fist, and a buzzing sound echoed in his ears.

What about people? Where are my spicy people!

The adjutant's heart roared, and his expression became even more desperate.

The current plan to seek naval artillery support has come to naught, and the reinforcements in the barracks are nowhere to be found.

Where the hell should he go?

"Sir...... Is there anything I can help with? Just when the adjutant was in despair, a voice came to the adjutant's ear.

The adjutant, who came to his senses, raised his head and saw the only remaining troops in the barracks, and asked in a hurried tone, "Where have the other people in the barracks gone?" ”

The commander of the last remaining company explained to the adjutant that more than 1,000 soldiers who had been living in the barracks had left the north shore in small boats an hour earlier, and that they were the only ones left.

"Who! Who ordered them to leave! Why didn't we be notified! The adjutant asked the company commander with a hint of tears.

"The order of Lieutenant General Nasimov!" The company commander responded to the adjutant.

"Lieutenant General Nasimov...... Lieutenant General Nasimov ......" The adjutant muttered to himself a few times, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He knew the Star Fortress...... No, it should be said that the entire North Shore has already been abandoned by Lieutenant General Nasimov!

What bullshit to open up the north and south shores so that they can be supported at any time! (Kornilov's propaganda to appease the North Shore soldiers)

It's just a trick of the South Shore to fool them, and they have been the outcasts of the South Bank from the beginning!

"Why don't you come with them!" The adjutant glanced at the company commander and asked.

"Report sir!" The company commander responded to the adjutant in a sonorous tone: "I don't think we should flee from here, every inch of land here is something we have worked so hard to build!" Even if we die, we will die here! ”

"You ......" the adjutant's voice choked slightly, he didn't know what to say about the "stupid" company commander and his "stupid" soldier in front of him.

From their bodies, the adjutant seemed to see the Russian Empire in 1812, and the ancestors of that time may have fought with the same idea as them!

"Good!" The adjutant who had been taught a lesson by the soldier turned confused into firm, and he nodded and praised the company commander: "You and your subordinates are good!" ”

"You've won a prize!" The company commander responded to the adjutant with a confident smile on his face.

The lieutenant then explained the situation that Star Fortress was facing now, and then asked if they would like to go to Star Fortress.

As the adjutant expected, none of the soldiers present flinched, and they steadfastly expressed to the adjutant that they were willing to fight until the last moment.

"You are real Russian servicemen!" The adjutant nodded, then saluted the warriors in front of him.

The soldiers in the barracks also returned the salute to the adjutant, and under the adjutant's leadership, the only remaining 326 people in the barracks followed him towards the Star Fortress.

At this time, the Star Fortress, the Russian and French armies, which had stopped shelling, have now entered meat grinder mode.

Under the orders of the commander, the French soldiers climbed over the trench and came to the slope, on which were a wall of breastwork, each about 2 meters high, not thick enough to protect against shells, but enough to withstand the fire of the Minne.

The Imperial Russian soldiers hiding behind the breastwork kept shooting at the French soldiers below the slope, and when the French soldiers fired bullets at them, they could hide behind the breastwork and listen quietly to the sound of Minne's bullets hitting the breastwork.

When the sound was over, the Imperial Russian soldiers leaned out from the side of the breastwork and fired at the French army.

In just half an hour, more than 100 French soldiers collapsed on their way up the slope.

Again and again, the attacks were repulsed by the Russian Imperial Army behind the breastwork.

Of course, the Russian Imperial Army, which had repelled the attack, was no better.

When the French soldiers in the front row marched up the slope, the French soldiers in the back row had already raised their Mine guns and aimed them at the Russian Imperial Army behind the breastwork, and the Russian Imperial Army would become the target of sniping by the soldiers in the back row all the way.

Not only that, but some French soldiers also pointed their guns at the batteries on the walls of the fortress, and as soon as the Russian Empire appeared next to the batteries, they would quickly pull the trigger and snipe the Russian artillery.

From the beginning to the present, 6 artillery pieces on the city walls have been sniped by the French army.

The Imperial Russian army, which was hiding behind the breastwork, was also killed by the French, about 200 men.

The casualty ratio between the Russian Empire and the French Empire remained at home at about 1 to 2.

This exchange ratio was the worst since the war between France and the Russian Empire.

In the past, France basically played an exchange ratio of about 1 to 7 and 1 to 8.

This time, the French army did encounter a more difficult bone to gnaw.

When another wave of French army offensive was repulsed by the Russian Empire, Conrobert, who was about a kilometer away from the Star Fortress, used a telescope to see the situation of the Star Fortress, and he frowned at the adjutant next to him, Jérôme. Patterson (Jérôme. Patterson, who was both the adjutant of the headquarters and the adjutant of the 1st Division, said: "Let the regiment in charge of the attack come down!" Change Zhuaf on! ”

"Yes!" Jérôme. Patterson rode to the foot of the Star Fortress and gave the order to the regimental commander Conrobel!

"Why!" The head of the regiment said with tears and indignation: "Why let me come down, I am almost successful!" Major Jérôme, could you please go and tell the division commander! Give us a little more time, and I'll take half an hour more! Half an hour later, if I can't take this fortress, I'll take off my uniform and leave the army! Now that my army has formed a bond with the other side, my men are unwilling not to defeat them! ”

Jérôme. Patterson quietly listened to the regiment commander's story, and then replied coldly: "I am just a person responsible for delivering the message, and it is entirely up to you whether to carry out the division commander's orders or not!" ”

Jérôme. Patterson's words directly blocked the regimental commander's "emotional card", and he knew what kind of outcome he would face if he did not obey General Conrobert's orders.

Therefore, even though he was very unwilling in his heart, he still had no way to disobey General Conrobert's orders.

The consequences of not obeying the ruler are very serious!

Stay until Jérôme. After Patterson left, the regimental commander looked at the fortress in front of him with an unwilling face, and gave the regimental chief of staff beside him an order to retreat.

Responsible for the retreat of the main attack group, the defenders on the Star Fortress had a smile on their faces when they found out that the French army had withdrawn, thinking that the French army would not attack because of casualties.

At this moment, more than 300 soldiers led by the adjutant also felt the Star Fortress.

The adjutant after entering the fortress reported to the commander of the fortress about the situation inside the port.

"I've pretty much guessed it!" The commander said to the adjutant with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.

The adjutant then explained to the commander of the fortress where they were now.

"Now, our fortress has completely become a lonely city!" The adjutant replied in a whisper to the fortress commander.

"Even if it's a lonely city, we have to stick to it!" The attitude of the commander of the fortress was also very decisive.

Subsequently, the commander of the fortress assigned the soldiers brought by the adjutant to replenish the lost troops.

After about 10 minutes, an officer in a Russian uniform limped out of the French troops, apparently a Russian officer captured in the Battle of Arma.

When he came to the slope, the Russian Imperial Army on the slope pointed the muzzle of the smoothbore gun at the Russian officer.

"Don't shoot! I'm from the 17th Division! I have something to say to you fortress commanders! The Russian officer raised his hands and said loudly as he walked up the slope.

As he reached the first breastwork, two Russian soldiers appeared and escorted the Russian officer to the Star Fortress.

The Russian officers who entered the fortress saw the commander inside the fortress.

The commander of the fortress looked at the captured Russian commander in front of him with a squint, and said in a contemptuous tone: "What are you looking for me!" ”

"That's right! General Conrobell wants your men to lay down their arms and surrender, and he can guarantee the safety of your entire fortress for life and property! The Russian commander said to the fortress commander with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

"Tell Conrobel that there are only Russian servicemen who died in battle in this world, and there are no captured Russian servicemen!" The fortress commander sneered.

"You ......" the captured Russian commander's angry voice trembled, and he pointed his finger at the fortress commander.

"Don't get out of here! I'm afraid I'm going to kill you! "The fortress commander loudly reprimanded the captured Russian commander.

The Russian commander left his position in embarrassment, and the Star Fortress let out a burst of laughter.

When the Russian commander who returned to the French camp reported to Conrobert with added fuel and jealousy, Conrobel was determined to completely eliminate the stubborn ones who had resisted.

The large and small Napoleonic cannons opened fire again, this time aimed at the breastwork on the slope.

After about 20 minutes of shelling, 60 percent of the artillery-baptized breastwork remains undestroyed.

More than 100 people were killed and wounded in this round of shelling.

After the artillery coverage was over, the Zhuaf regiment led by Brigadier General Bazin reappeared under the Star Fortress.

The Russian troops on the Star Fortress looked at the French troops in strange costumes below and said with a big change in their faces: "They are Zhuaf soldiers!" ”

"Zhuaf soldiers? What is that? The soldier next to him asked curiously.

The soldier explained the origin of "Zhuaf" to the soldiers next to him, and the soldiers around him were also a little uneasy after hearing the origin of the "Zhuaf" regiment.

Brigadier General Bazin, who was on his horse, glanced at the Star Fortress, and he was determined to conquer it in the shortest possible time.

He wants to use it to make his reputation.

Brigadier General Bazin decided to go into battle himself, and he turned over and dismounted with a Mine gun and said to the soldiers beside him: "In this battle, I will climb to the top with you!" No one is allowed to retreat, and once they find out about retreating, even me will be dealt with by military law! Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The Zhuaf Regiment soldier shouted.

"Good!"

Under the lead of Brigadier General Bazin, the Juaft regiment was like a giant beast awakened from its sleep, and they climbed over the trench and reached the slope with great speed.

When the Russian soldiers, who were using the breastwork on the slope as a cover, saw the skills of the Zhuaf regiment, they immediately realized that the group of soldiers in front of them was not at the same level as the previous soldiers.

The soldiers of the Zhuaf regiment, who came to the slope, dodged left and right, and it took only a few minutes to rush to the first breastwork.

In hand-to-hand combat, this group of Russian soldiers who did not have much combat experience was not their opponent, and the continuous surge of Zhuaf soldiers killed the Russian soldiers behind the breastwork at great speed.

Then, without difficulty, he rushed to the second breastwork.

In just fifteen minutes, the vanguard of the Zhuaf regiment had completely rushed to the open space in front of the Star Fortress.
