Chapter 645: The army that was in chaos at the beginning

The battle on the left flank of Mount Inkerman is officially underway.

Looking at the group of Russian Imperial troops rushing forward in front of them, the Sardinian chasseurs quickly pulled the trigger.

The round-tipped Miner, which was powered by gunpowder, spun at a rapid speed and flew out of the muzzle, and in the blink of an eye, it had already leaped a distance of nearly 100 meters, and went straight to the soldiers of the Russian Empire.

The Slavic animals, who were chanting "Ula" one second, fell down the next, blood gushing out of their chests.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred Imperial Russian servicemen were killed, and dozens more received gunshot wounds of varying severity.

This was undoubtedly an unbearable loss for the vanguard troops, which originally had only more than 1,000 people.

Many Russian Imperial soldiers began to retreat backwards without following the orders of their officers. Seeing this, Kanie immediately smiled with joy.

At this time, he had long forgotten about the artillery of the Russian Empire, and was only thinking about victory, and in his eyes, as long as he could annihilate all the enemies in front of him, all the mistakes he had made before would be written off.

If he is lucky, he himself will be able to get promoted and make a fortune.

Because the enemy on the other side is the Russian Imperial Army!

Even if the Russian Imperial Army was hoisted and fought by the British and French armies, it did not prevent them from still being the third in the world.

After all, no country has yet been able to defeat such an alliance.

As long as the army he led could defeat the Russian Imperial Army, then their Sardinian army could boast that it was the third military power in the world.

Moreover, even if they could not surround and annihilate them, Sardinia would not be able to stop them if they wanted to run away from the Russian Empire.

After weighing the pros and cons, Oliver. Kagne drew the command sword tied to his waist and shouted, "Long live Sardinia!" For His Majesty's Majesty! ”

The Sardinian chasseur officers under his command heard Oliver. After Kagne's shout, they immediately understood that this was a signal to charge.

"Long live Sardinia! For His Majesty's Majesty! The Sardinian officers shouted in unison, and then led their troops into an attack on the Russian Imperial Army.

This is because the place of the battle was not in the frontier, but in the bushes on the left flank of Mount Inkman.

As a result, neither the attacking nor the retreating side can attack in a traditional horizontal formation.

It can only use skirmish tactics to attack, but skirmish tactics test the quality of each soldier's individual soldiers, and the slightest mistake will happen that the comrades in the front row will be shot and killed by the comrades in the back row.

Historically, when the Russian Imperial Army attacked the British army on Mount Inkman from Sevastopol, friendly troops shot each other.

Fortunately, the Sardinian army had the best individual qualities in all of Sardinia, and was forced to use skirmisher tactics, where they reloaded with bullets while evading their comrades in front of them with dexterity.

About twenty seconds after the Sardinian army launched the charge, the second round of firing began.

The withdrawn Russian Imperial army fell again by more than 50 people, and the Sardinian side, from the face to face with the Russian Imperial soldiers to the second round of shooting, only about 20 people were killed or wounded.

However, the morale-boosting Sardinian army was soon on the verge of a setback.

It was only after this Sardinian army that it came into close contact with the Russian Imperial Army that they really realized what it meant to be a first-class power.

When the Russian Empire, whose morale was on the verge of collapse, realized that the Kingdom of Sardinia had abandoned its advantages and engaged them in a white-knuckle war.

The tenacity of the Slavs, who lived in the bitter cold zone and had to fight against nature every year, was quickly awakened, and some of the soldiers of the Russian Empire stopped retreating and launched a decisive counterattack against the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Sardinian chasseurs were caught off guard and had to engage in a white-knuckle battle with the Russian Imperial soldiers, and because there was a certain gap in physique between the two sides, the sardinian chasseur units of the Kingdom of Sardinia had to have some inherent disadvantages.

In a few moments, dozens of soldiers of the Sardinian hunting battalion were stabbed to death by the Russian Imperial Army.

The morale of the soldiers of the hunting battalion fell slightly, and the soldiers of the Russian Empire, seeing this, excitedly shouted "Ula".

Then, against the orders of the officer, he turned around and fought with the Sardinian soldiers, and soon the Russian Imperial Army and the Sardinian army were caught in a melee.

The brigadier general in charge of commanding the vanguard smiled helplessly when he saw this, and then sent his lieutenant back to the headquarters below the mountain to inform Commander Soylov of the vanguard about the situation of the vanguard troops, and asked him to send some men to reinforcements.

After explaining the situation, the brigadier general also rode towards the center of the fight.

Seeing this, the adjutant had to ride his horse and run towards the headquarters on the ridge, and about 10 minutes later, the adjutant arrived at the gates of the Russian Imperial Command.

At this time, Commander Soylov, who commanded the units of the Fourth and Fifth armies of the Russian Empire, was receiving the adjutant of the attacking troops on the main peak of Mount Inkman.

"Your Excellency, the Okhotsky, Yakutsky, and Selenginsky regiments of our troops deployed on the Inkman Mountains have all been subjected to heavy artillery attacks by the French army on the top of the mountain...... "The disgraced adjutant informed Commander Soylov of the battle on the Inkman Mountains.

"What about the artillery I handed over to you? Why don't you use the artillery in your hands to bombard those damned Frenchmen? Soylov rebuked the adjutant.

"Your Excellency, the artillery in our hands is no match for them at all! I estimate that they have at least 300-400 artillery pieces on this mountain, and a large part of them should be large-caliber artillery.

And the French built forts and trenches on the mountainside, and our artillery didn't do much damage to them! The adjutant immediately explained to Soylov.

"More than 300-400 guns?" Soylov's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face, and he swallowed and said, "Are those Frenchmen crazy?" So much artillery is deployed here! ”

"Your Excellency, what shall we do now? Do you want to go on the offensive or hold off? The adjutant asked with a sad expression.

Soylov gritted his teeth and replied to him: "Continue to put pressure on the French army in Inkman Mountain, and transfer the Tarutins regiment and the Catherine regiment as well!" I don't believe it! Mount Inkman can still be made of iron! ”

Five regiments of nearly 10,000 elite troops joined forces to attack the Inkman Mountain, if such a big move could not shake the Russian army on the Inkman Mountain, Soylov really did not know how to fight this battle, and he received an order to sweep away the French army on the Inkman Mountain at all costs.

Of course, what Soylov didn't know was that Gorchakov and the others didn't expect to rely on 60,000 Russian Imperial troops to eat the troops of Inkman, and in their plan, the Fourth and Fifth Armies were a pawn to attract Inkman and Ferdokinling, and to put it mildly, their 60,000 men were an outcast.

And the reason why they gave Soylov the order to attack at all costs was to stop the retreat of the army as much as possible.

If they had told Soylov all about their strategic goals and plans, he would have been unable to delay them as much as he could.

The best thing the generals of the Russian Empire were at was to carry out the orders handed down from above, and some armies even went their own way despite the orders of the superiors.

The result of this is often the crushing of one's own strategic deployment by his subordinates, and the entire army is thrown into chaos.

"Yes!" The adjutant reluctantly replied, saluted Soylov and left.

Subsequently, a soldier entered the camp and reported to Soylov the news of the arrival of the army adjutant on the left flank of Mount Inkman.

"Let him in!" Soylov waved his hand and said a word to the soldiers, and the adjutant of the left flank of Mount Inkerman was able to enter.

The adjutant of the left wing of Mount Inkman, who entered the tent, reported to Soyilov the news of the left wing of Mount Inkman.

"I'm not telling you! Don't fight, don't fight! What the hell is going on with you? Do you still have me as a commander in your eyes? Soylov scolded.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we can't help it!" Because the adjutant of the left wing responded to Soylov with a wry smile: "Who would have thought that our army would become like this!" ”

"What do you say now! Soylov laughed angrily: "Should I order the artillery to wipe you out along with the Sardinian army!" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, by all means!" When the adjutant heard Soylov's words, his face changed dramatically.

"So what do you think you should do now?" Soylov sneered and asked, "Originally, I wanted you to lure the Sardinian soldiers down the mountain, and then use artillery to destroy them!" It's good now, you can really give me nothing to do! Say, what do you want? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, could you please reinforce a group of soldiers!" The adjutant stretched out an index finger and said to Commander Soylov: "1,000 people!" Just 1000 people and you're good to go! We, the brigadier generals, promise to fight a beautiful war! ”

"Glamorous war! Thank goodness it's good that you don't bother me! Soylov complained, "I'll give you four more infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, and you'll have to give me a clean cut of the guys on the left flank!" Let them know that following France may not be able to eat meat, and they may also be beaten! Tell your brigadier general that if he can't give me a satisfactory result, he'll wait to take off his uniform and get out of the army! ”

"Thank you very much!" The adjutant (on the left) immediately saluted Soylov and left.

After the adjutant left, Soylov came to the map again, looked at the map in front of him, and Soylov muttered to himself: "It's messy! It's all messed up! ”
