Chapter 651: A Missed Victory

The shelling, which was completely unequal to the crisis, lasted for about half an hour before stopping, and under the heavy shelling of the Kingdom of Britain, the temporary artillery positions built by Russia did not play a protective role at all, and the thick smoke of dust and black gunpowder filled the entire artillery position.

Nearly 100 Russian Imperial artillery pieces were completely turned into a pile of copper and iron under the far superior firepower of the Kingdom of Britain, and those precious Russian Imperial artillery also suffered heavy losses, they were either killed by shells, or "blown" off limbs by air waves, and some artillery soldiers were completely deaf due to the continuous explosions that caused their eardrums to burst.

When the smoke cleared, Pavlov immediately realized that his artillery was probably all gone.

This was not the only bad situation, as the morale of the soldiers in the positions was weakened by the continuous shelling of the British Kingdom due to the prolonged shelling of the British Kingdom.

At this moment, Pavlov had the idea of retreating.

Anyway, his purpose was only to contain the Anglo-Turkish army on the Joyana River, and it was a fluke for them to be able to rely on a wave of surprise attacks for the time being, and now it was time to retreat.

However, Pavlov was a little reluctant to retreat directly, he had already attacked here, as long as he held on a little longer, and when the large forces of Bakhchisaray arrived, he could march to the north bank of Sevastopol.

As long as I can hold this place!

Lust took possession of Pavlov's brain, driving Pavlov's sanity completely.

At this time, he was like a confident gambler, gambling all his net worth and the weight he had won before.

As long as he can be firmly nailed to this position like a nail, then he will be able to increase his rank and rank to the pinnacle of his life.

Of course, during this period, there will inevitably be countless soldiers who will die because of his actions, but what does it matter?

As the saying goes, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither.

Pavlov is going to use the blood of Russian soldiers to forge a road to fame.

Just when Pavlov was confident that he would be able to hold it, Marshal Raglan ordered his artillery to correct the position again, and this time Marshal Raglan was targeting the position where the Russian Empire was located.

He wanted to make the Russians on the positions understand that artillery is not a product unique to Russia.

The Kingdom of Britain also has artillery, and the quality and accuracy of the guns in the Kingdom of Britain are much better than theirs!

About 10 minutes later, the brigadier general of the artillery unit reported to Marshal Raglan: "Your Excellency, the artillery has been corrected!" Can be launched! ”

"Show them how good you are!" Commander Raglan gave the order with a serious expression.

"Yes!" The Brigadier General of Artillery saluted Commander Raglan and left.

Marshal Raglan, whose face was slightly pale, couldn't help coughing violently, and Marshal Renio, who was standing next to Marshal Raglan, hurriedly came to Marshal Raglan's side, helped Marshal Raglan, and then gently patted Marshal Raglan on the back with his hand.

"Old! Old! Marshal Raglan shook his head and said with emotion: "I think I could go to work without sleep for a few days and nights, but now I am tired enough after only standing for a while!" ”

"Time is not forgiving!" Marshal Regino also sighed.

"yes!" Marshal Raglan nodded, his eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence, and his tone couldn't help but rise in a low tone: "When all of our generation is gone, I'm afraid not many people will know about that legendary era back then!" People will only hear a few words about it in the history books......"

"Raglan, I never thought so!" Marshal Regnio said with a hint of longing for the past, "I think that legendary era will never be forgotten!" He will become a shining pearl in our human history! ”

Born at the end of the Revolution and raised in Napoleon's Empire, Regnio believes that the new ideas born of the Revolution have quietly changed the world.

No one can erase that legendary era, and the princes and generals who stood out in the legendary era will inevitably be remembered by the times.

"I hope so!" Marshal Raglan replied with a wry smile to Marshal Regino.

"Besides, just because the era of legends is over doesn't mean it won't happen again! It is always people who create the era, and I believe that more and more will emerge in the future to create legends! Marshal Regino replied in a firm tone: "The future will surely be better than the past!" ”

Marshal Raglan smiled and did not speak, living in the past, he somewhat disagreed with what Marshal Regnio said, but he was unwilling to refute it.

The second round of shelling began in a conversation between Marshal Regnio and Marshal Raglan, and the morale of the Russian Empire began to decline in the shelling of the Kingdom of Britain.

No one wanted to face the power of the shells with their flesh and blood, and some of the Imperial Russian soldiers who leaned their backs against sandbags closed their eyes and began to pray.

The carefully built fortifications of the Kingdom of Britain were destroyed by their own hands, and the smoke rose again.

Commander Pavlov, who was stationed at the temporary command post, watched the bombed position with a telescope and prayed that Bakhchisaray's troops would arrive sooner.

While Commander Pavlov was anxiously awaiting the arrival of reinforcements from Bakhchisaray, the adjutant he sent to Bakhchisaray also arrived in Bakhchisaray at this time.

The adjutant who entered the command center of Bakhchisaray immediately reported to the current supreme commander of Bakhchisaray, Grand Duke Mikhail, and his military adviser, Marshal Jomini.

"Is something happening on the Joyana River?" Mikhail immediately asked the adjutant.

"Your Highness, something has really gone wrong!" The adjutant hurriedly told Mikhail what had happened on the Joyana River.

A happy smile instantly appeared on Mikhail's face, and he patted the adjutant on the shoulder and said, "Good job!" ”

There was also a hint of surprise on Jomini's face that Pavlov's movement on the Gioyana River had gone much more smoothly than he had planned.

"Your Highness, I am asking for your help on the orders of Commander Pavlov, hoping that you will be able to send troops to Bakhchisaray immediately, and as long as we act quickly, we can enter Sevastopol!!" The adjutant pleaded with Mikhail.

"Yomini-sensei, what do you think?" Mikhail immediately asked Jomini what he thought.

After pondering for a moment, Jomini said to his adjutant: "If you take the north shore of Sevastopol, how will you deal with the naval guns anchored in the harbor!" ”

"This ......" The adjutant was visibly stopped by Yomini's question, and they really didn't have anything to do with the naval guns.

In the face of the adjutant's silence, Marshal Jomini spoke again: "I will send you two more corps of soldiers to the Gioyana River to assist you in taking Sevastopol!" However, you must hold on to it until the troops arrive! ”

"Rest assured, we will do our best!" The adjutant hurried to reassure Jomini that he was there.

After the adjutant left the headquarters, Mikhail curiously asked Jomini if he had a way to defend himself against the ship's guns.

Jomini told Mikhail that he also had nothing to do.

But it would also be nice if the Russian army could storm into the north bank of Sevastopol.

At the very least, it is better to weaken the war potential of the North Shore a little than to do nothing.

Moreover, his original plan was not to have a way to confront the Naval Port Fleet.

"Just do as you say!" Mikhail nodded and said to Marshal Jomini: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first!" Call me again when it's time to leave! ”

Neither Grand Duke Mikhail nor Jomini could have imagined that this mobilization would take them so much time that they missed the best time to attack.

……

At this time, Pavlov did not know that he would need to hold out for at least six or seven hours before he could get support from Bakhchisaray.

In his mind, he needed to hold on for up to 2 hours.

At 6 p.m., when the sun was setting for the last of its days, the British artillery finally stopped bombarding for nearly an hour.

At the same time, a regiment of the British Highland Brigade, led by Major General Ebel, and the Juaf Regiment led by Major General Bazin, appeared at the foot of the mountain.

"Attack!" Raglan and Regnio immediately gave orders to the lieutenant beside them.

The adjutant rode up to Ebers and Bazin and conveyed to them the meaning of the two marshals.

"Attack!" Bazin shouted loudly at the same time as Ebes.

The Zhuaf regiment and the Highland Brigade began to march towards the positions where the Russian Empire was located.

Seeing this scene, Pavlov, who was in the temporary command post, subconsciously wanted to use artillery to eliminate the two armies, but found that he did not have artillery in his hands.

After the Juaf Regiment and the Highland Regiment were able to reach the effective range of the Mineer and Lee Enfield rifles, they stopped and began to reload.

The Russian troops on the position immediately pulled the trigger to attack the British and French troops, because the rifles used by the Russian and British and French armies were not at the same range, which made it difficult for the Russian troops to hit the British and French troops at the same distance, but the British and French troops were able to hit them easily.

This time was no exception, and the bullets of the Russian Empire did not destroy many people at all, except for a few "lucky ones" (which can also be called unlucky ones).

When the British and French troops were ready, they formed two or three pairs of horizontal formations under the orders of the commander.

"Put!" The commander gave the order to shoot at the soldiers of the British and French troops.

The British and French absolutely pulled the trigger almost at the same time, gunshots rang out, and screams rang out from the positions of the Russian Empire.

The British and French, who used rifles far longer than the Imperial Russian rifles, had eliminated more than 100 enemies in the first round of design, and the Imperial Russian soldiers who had remained in their positions trembled even more when they saw the accurate fire of the Highland Brigade and the Zhuaf Regiment.

"Quick! Go and order them to shoot! Don't let them attack! When Pavlov saw the Russian soldiers hiding in their positions and did not dare to show their heads, he immediately burst into a rage, and he hurriedly gave the order to the adjutant.

"Yes!" After the adjutant saluted Pavlov, he immediately ran in the direction where the position was located.

It's just that his luck is a bit back. When the adjutant arrived near the position, a bullet landed in the adjutant's head, and the adjutant fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Russian Empire were even more frightened by the Highland Brigade and the Zhuaf Regiment, and they were able to reach the vicinity of the position without much resistance.

The Highland Brigade and the Zhuaf Regiment, which arrived at the position, quickly entered the position and engaged the Russian Imperial servicemen in close combat.
