Make France Great Again

The commended Bashbozuk cavalry unit let out a strange cry, and the heads of the Cossack cavalry that were originally held in their hands were thrown into the air by them.

The behavior of the Bashbozuk Cavalry made Major General Canrobert, who was already a little disgusted with their style, even more dissatisfied. Major General Canrobert had subconsciously equated the Bashbozuk Cavalry with barbarism.

Although Major General Canrobert was disgusted by the behavior of the Bash Pozuq cavalry, he did not interfere with this behavior because his fighting experience in the Algiers Province taught him that they should not be too demanding to maintain civility.

Because there is a big difference between European and Arab cultures, rashly forcibly replacing Arab culture with European culture will inevitably cause some unnecessary ideological conflicts with them.

Major General Canrobert, who was unwilling to cause a split in the camp, simply ordered the Bashbozuk cavalry to pick up the heads of the Cossacks, and then ordered them to return to the camp where they were stationed.

After the Bashbozuk cavalry obeyed Canrobel's order and returned to the camp, Major General Canrobel, who was standing there, fell into deep thought.

This was the second close encounter between the coalition forces and the Cossack troops, and it was also the first confrontation between cavalry and cavalry. Through this confrontation, Major General Canrobert clearly felt the decline of the Russian Imperial Army.

The Cossack cavalry unit may no longer be the red god of death that shuttled between blood and fire during the Napoleonic Wars.

The decline of the military caused by the decline of national power is vividly demonstrated in the Russian Imperial Army.

A premonition told Major General Canrobel that soon their troops would have a head-on confrontation with the Russian Imperial Army.

Major General Canrobert immediately ordered Captain Jérôme Patterson to call the commanders of the three countries of Britain, Turkey and Turkey to his camp.

After receiving the order, Captain Jerome Patterson saluted Major General Canrobert and then turned and left.

That night, Major General Canrobert explained the situation to the leaders of the three countries and deployed tasks to them one by one.

"Everyone, I hope you can gather your energy to face the next battle!" Major General Canrobel said seriously to everyone present: "The next battle may be beyond our imagination. .”

After hearing what Canrobert said, the commanders of the three kingdoms of Britain, Sahara, and Turkey also cheered up.

After the meeting, a battalion of Zhuav and a battalion of the Scottish Fusiliers entered the trenches. Their mission was to prepare for possible night raids by the Russian army.

On the other hand, General Gorchakov, who led the Cossack cavalry troops to flee in a hurry, returned to the camp where the Polish Army was stationed. The people responsible for welcoming him were Brigadier General Orlov Jr., commander of the 1st Division of the Polish Army, and Shi, the commander of the 2nd Division. Major General Erdel.

"Deputy Commander Gorchakov!" Brigadier General Orlov Jr. and Major General Shilder shouted in unison as they looked at General Gorchakov riding on his horse.

"Come on, let's talk after we go in!" Gorchakov dismounted and handed the horse to the guards on the side, then responded briefly to Brigadier General Orlov Jr. and Major General Shilder.

Immediately, the three Gorchakovs entered the exclusive camp of Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

Gorchakov, who was sitting on an armchair in the camp, told little Orlov and Schilder about the trenches, spiked barricades and barbed wire he saw outside the French camp.

"This time, the enemy we face is different from the Turkish army! They are more difficult to deal with than we imagined, so I hope you can be mentally prepared!" Gorchakov solemnly told little Orlov Said Schelder.

Brigadier General Orlov Jr. and Major General Schelder also had solemn expressions on their faces after hearing the deployment of the coalition troops.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Commander, how many are there? Are we capable of eating them with the troops in our hands alone?" Little Orlov asked in a cautious tone.

"I don't know the size of this vanguard force yet, but based on the size of their camp, it can be inferred that their size is about 7,000-8,000 people! (In fact, this vanguard force has a total of 6,400 people, including 1,000 cavalry. .)" Gorchakov responded cautiously.

"Our two divisions have a total of 32,000 men, plus a 1,400-man Cossack cavalry regiment, which means we have a total of 33,400 troops!" General Schelder counted the existing troops in detail and said with a smile: "If the number of people in this vanguard force is calculated as 8,000, it means that the gap between us and this vanguard force is about 3 to 1! Your Excellency, deputy commander, I suggest that we use our army's existing superior strength to attack this vanguard force. The troops implement the tactic of surrounding but not attacking to wear down the will of this army. This can prevent our army from unnecessary casualties due to a strong attack. After the enemy's fighting will is completely eliminated, our army can gradually defeat the enemy. Cannibalize this lone army!"

Schelder believed that with an absolute strength advantage of three to one, encirclement without attack was obviously the best tactic.

"No!" Brigadier General Orlov on the side shook his head. He did not agree with General Schelder's idea.

Brigadier General Orlov Jr. believed that behind this vanguard force, there must be a larger coalition force heading here.

If the Polish Army cannot defeat this coalition vanguard as soon as possible, once the coalition's follow-up troops arrive on the battlefield, the Polish Army and even the Danube Army will be in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides.

The Polish Legion must annihilate this coalition vanguard as quickly as possible, use their destruction to frighten the coalition forces, and thus buy time for the offensive troops of Silistra Fortress.

Brigadier General Orlov Jr. also believed that the defensive positions built by the coalition forces in such a short period of time were surprising, but it also showed that the defensive positions themselves were nothing more than the product of haste.

Its defensive capabilities are far less solid than the Silistra Fortress. As long as the Russian Imperial Army is willing to pay a certain price of casualties, they can capture this position in a very short time.

At the same time, Brigadier General Orlov Jr. hoped that the headquarters located near Silistra Fortress could transfer two artillery regiments to them, so that they would have enough offensive capabilities to capture this defensive position, and at the same time avoid larger attacks. of casualties.

Faced with the request of Brigadier General Orlov Jr., Gorchakov shook his head and said: "Commander Paskevich will not agree to transfer the two artillery regiments here. He must do it as quickly as possible." Capture Silistra!"

Compared with annihilating this vanguard force, capturing Silistra Fortress is indeed a more important task.

If the Silistra Fortress cannot be captured, then the Russian Imperial Army may have only one way to retreat.

"Then we can only rely on our infantry units to fight our way out!" Little Orlov frowned and said in a heavy tone.

"Yes!" General Shidel also nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Gorchakov issued an order to the two division commanders present: "I plan to launch an attack on the coalition camp at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, Division Commander Orlov!!"

"Yes!" Brigadier General Orlov straightened his body and responded sonorously.

"This offensive battle is your first division's responsibility!" General Gorchakov said to Brigadier General Orlov Jr.: "I need to see results in the shortest possible time. Do you hear me clearly?"

"Understood! I will definitely conquer this nail planted on the flank of our army in the shortest possible time!" Brigadier General Orlov Jr. responded to General Gorchakov with a ferocious look on his face.

"Very good!" General Gorchakov nodded with satisfaction, and then asked General Shilder to prepare the reserve team of the first division under Orlov Jr. and take over the first division to fight against the coalition forces at any time.

…

As the darkness receded and the morning sun broke through the hazy fog and slowly rose from the east, a huge army was slowly approaching the allied camp.

The soldiers of the Zhuav regiment stationed in the trenches quickly informed Brigadier General Bazin of the situation in the camp. Brigadier General Bazin turned around and ran to Major General Canrobert's camp to report.

After hearing Bazin's report, Major General Canrobert showed a hint of surprise on his face. Although he had already expected the attack of the Russian Imperial Army, he did not expect that their attack would be so fast.

"knew!"

Major General Canrobert nodded to Brigadier General Bazin, then unhurriedly put on his military uniform and walked out of the camp.

When Major General Canrobert arrived at the trench, Captain Jerome Patterson, Colonel Somerset and others had been waiting around the trench for a long time.

"Telescope!" Major General Canrobert stretched out his hand and said to Jerome Patterson.

Captain Jérôme Patterson handed the telescope in his hand to Major General Canrobert. Through the lens of the telescope, Canrobert saw a gray shadow in the distance in the lens. The gray shadow became larger and larger, and soon it Takes up the entire lens. Find Shuyuan www.zhaosｈhuyuan.com

This group of Slavic soldiers, wearing gray military uniforms, were slowly walking towards the camp in the form of a phalanx under the leadership of their commander.

Judging from the number of phalanxes, the number of this group of troops should be at least 3,000, or even more...

"Let all the troops be ready. Once the Russian army comes close to the firing range, give me a hard hit!" Kang Nobel said to Captain Jerome Patterson beside him.

Captain Jérôme Patterson immediately mounted his horse and issued Canrobert's order to every battalion in the trench.

As time went by, this group of Slavic troops crossed the horse trap and gradually approached the barbed wire fence. Each of the soldiers staying in the trenches focused on targeting the Slavic soldiers. As soon as their company commander gave an order, they would use The bullets taught them a lesson, a lesson from the shame of the Napoleonic Wars.
