"Ulla! Long live the Russian Empire! Long live His Majesty the Tsar! ”

"Long live the French Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Long live Britain! Long live Her Majesty! ”

The battle between Britain, France and Russia officially began at around 6:20 p.m.

At this moment, only a red sunset remained in the sky of the Sevastopol fortress, as if it was setting a red skirt for the evening sky.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Zhuaf Regiment and the Highland Brigade no longer cared about any casualties, and they rushed forward as if they had gone crazy.

The Russian troops in the trenches were also desperately trying to block, and the attackers and defenders fought with all their might, like two ferocious beasts biting each other, the sound of gunfire, metal clashes, and screams resounded throughout the position, and dozens of soldiers died every minute on average.

After about twenty minutes had passed, the sky had completely darkened, and the fighting had not stopped, but the three armies in the battle in the position could only see each other's silhouettes now.

Gradually, the Russian Imperial Army, in the dark, began to fall into disadvantage, and the Russians continued to take advantage of the darkness to retreat.

The Russian officers in the dark of night had nothing to do about it, and under the influence of the Russian Imperial soldiers who fled from their positions, the Russian servicemen stationed behind the positions also retreated with them. (The actual number of combatants is only about 6,000)

It didn't take long for the Russian Imperial Army on the positions to fall into disarray.

"Your Excellency, Commander, let's withdraw! It's hard to hold here! Pavlov's subordinate officers pleaded with Pavlov: "If we keep it any longer, I'm afraid we will all become their prisoners!" ”

"Damn!" Pavlov gritted his teeth and slapped the wall fiercely, complaining: "Why are the troops in Bakhchisaray not coming yet!" If they had come earlier, we would have stormed Sevastopol a long time ago! ”

Nearly five hours had passed since the Russian Empire had occupied the position, and the officers he had sent to Bakhchisaray for assistance had also returned for nearly two hours, but he had not seen a single reinforcement.

This made Pavlov wonder if they were abandoned by Bakhchisaray, otherwise, why would there be no reinforcements!

"Your Excellency, Commander, don't talk about this time now! Give your order! "The staff officers under Pavlov continued to dissuade Pavlov.

After thinking for a moment, Pavlov gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Order all units to retreat in turn, and at the same time ask officers at all levels to restrain their soldiers!" Don't turn a retreat into a rout! ”

"Yes!" The staff officer hurriedly saluted Pavlov and left.

Later, Pavlov called the adjutant he had sent to Bakhchisaray and asked him again what was going on in the Bakhchisaray area and why there had been no support for so long!

The adjutant shook his head, indicating that he had no idea.

"Forget it!" Commander Pavlov sighed, and then ordered his lieutenants to bring over the captured Duke of Cambridge.

When the adjutant heard the order, he also turned and left.

After a while, the adjutant and two Russian soldiers "escorted" the Duke of Cambridge to Pavlov.

"Your Highness! (The Duke title can be addressed to His Royal Highness, or to His Excellency the Duke!) Major General Pavlov bowed politely to the Duke of Cambridge.

"Humph!" The Duke of Cambridge snorted coldly and put on an arrogant posture.

In the face of the arrogance of the Duke of Cambridge, Pavlov was not angry, he still responded with a smile: "Your Highness, our army has been defeated, so you can go back!" Not only you, but also your men and the Guards Division's banners will be able to return to the army! ”

"Oh?" The Duke of Cambridge gave Pavlov a suspicious look and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Your Highness, I don't want you to do anything! Just let you go! Pavlov said to the Duke of Cambridge with a smile on his face.

"Would you have such good intentions?" The Duke of Cambridge still didn't believe Pavlov's words.

"Your Highness, we Slavs have always been a warm-hearted people!" Pavlov spread his hands and responded sincerely to the Duke of Cambridge: "It's just that our two countries have to meet each other because of some misunderstandings!" On the battlefield, we are enemies of life and death. It's no longer a battlefield, and the identities of the two of us still make me still respect you. You are a true aristocrat! ”

Pavlov's answer made the Duke of Cambridge feel refreshed from the inside out, and his face on Pavlov was no longer as repulsive as before.

"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the sudden collapse of Turkey, Your Highness, you would never have been caught by us!" Pavlov then said to the Duke of Cambridge, and then bowed to the Duke of Cambridge: "I hope that next time our two armies can fight with dignity!" Like the ancient knights, please forgive me for offending you! ”

"General Pavlov, you are a man who is good at seizing opportunities!" The Duke of Cambridge also affirmed Pavlov, "I am very much looking forward to the next fight!" ”

After the Duke of Cambridge was sent away from the provisional commander by General Pavlov, the adjutant standing next to Pavlov asked General Pavlov in confusion why he had let the Duke of Cambridge go so easily.

"Do you want us to take the Duke of Cambridge with us? Or are we going to kill the Duke of Cambridge directly? Pavlov asked the adjutant beside him.

"Of course it'......" The adjutant opened his mouth, speechless.

Whether it is with the Duke of Cambridge or directly shooting the Duke of Cambridge, you have to take a certain risk.

If he had it with the Duke of Cambridge, he would have to ensure the safety of the Duke of Cambridge, so he would have to allocate a part of his limited forces to protect the Duke of Cambridge, and this action would undoubtedly cause him great trouble.

Killing the Duke of Cambridge is even more death, nobles can die on the battlefield, but they will never die outside the battlefield, the current Duke of Cambridge is equivalent to having left the battlefield, Pavlov shot him, except for causing the anger of the Kingdom of Britain and Emperor Nicholas I, there is no benefit at all.

On the contrary, it will put him in more trouble, and if he does not make trouble, he will be shot by Nicholas I.

Since he could not take it away or shoot him, Pavlov could only release the Duke of Cambridge in the wilderness.

"There's actually another benefit to my release of the Duke of Cambridge!" Pavlov continued.

"What's the benefit?" The adjutant asked curiously.

"In a moment, when we retreat, the British army will definitely look at the Duke of Cambridge's face and no longer pursue!" Pavlov confidently replied to the adjutant.

"Is Marshal Raglan really not going to pursue? I remember a few hours ago, when you sent someone to negotiate......" the adjutant was somewhat unconvinced of what Pavlov said.

"This time and that time!" Pavlov smiled meaningfully, patted the adjutant on the shoulder and said, "Just watch it well!" ”

……

The Duke of Cambridge and his last remaining subordinates, carrying the Guards Division's flag, walked down from their positions and were soon escorted by soldiers to Marshal Raglan's location!

"Your Excellency, Your Highness is back!"

"Who?"

"Your Excellency the Duke of Cambridge!"

"Let him in!"

When the Duke of Cambridge entered the room, he saluted Marshal Raglan and Marshal Regino, respectively, and thanked Marshal Regino.

Omar Pasha stood there with an embarrassed expression, he understood that the reason why the Duke of Cambridge would ignore him was nothing more than because his Turkish army had pitted the Duke of Cambridge on the position, which led to the capture of the Duke of Cambridge.

"Why did Pavlov let you come back!" Marshal Raglan immediately asked the Duke of Cambridge in a stern tone: "Have you agreed to any of his conditions!" ”

"Report to the marshal, I didn't promise him anything!" The Duke of Cambridge replied to Marshal Raglan in a firm tone: "And Pavlov himself also did not put forward any conditions!" ”

"That's good! That's good! Marshal Raglan breathed a sigh of relief, and what he feared most was the Duke of Cambridge acceding to Pavlov's request.

Once the Duke of Cambridge agreed to Pavlov's request, his career in the army would be completely doomed.

Journalists in the British army, though by Field Marshal Raglan with the help of Jérôme. Bonaparte's name was limited, but that didn't mean they couldn't do anything.

If the Duke of Cambridge really had any deals, then the deals would inevitably be found out, and the Duke of Cambridge would be surrounded by public opinion.

By that time, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would not be able to give any help to the Duke of Cambridge, who had and had to quit the army.

"Pavlov, this is selling us a face!" Marshal Raglan replied softly.

"Then we ......," the Duke of Cambridge asked.

"You just need to retake your position!" Marshal Raglan said as he looked at Marshal Regnio.

Marshal Regnio bowed slightly, agreeing with Marshal Raglan's point of view.

At 8 p.m., the British army completely occupied the position with the French army.

And Pavlov's Russian troops had long since fled and set up camp near the Kacha River.

After the battle for the position, Britain and France counted the casualties, which were 1,100 for France and 1,630 for the Kingdom of Britain.

The Russian army in the Kacha River also counted its own casualties, of which 3,209 were killed or wounded, and 4,235 were missing, for a total of 7,444, equivalent to one-fifth of the entire army.

And in the direction of Inkman Mountain, a large-scale siege and annihilation battle also came to an end.

Nearly 60,000 Russian Imperial troops were annihilated by the combined attack of Conrobel, Bosquet, and Trochu, and Soynov and his lieutenant were killed instantly.

According to later statistics, the Russian army lost about 40,000 servicemen on Mount Inkman, and less than 20,000 Russian servicemen broke out of the encirclement.
