Make France Great Again

This artillery bombardment, whose range was completely unequal to the crisis, lasted for about half an hour before it stopped. Under the fierce bombardment of the British Kingdom, the temporary artillery positions built by Russia did not play any protective role at all, and the thick smoke composed of dust Black smoke filled the entire artillery position.

Nearly a hundred Russian Imperial artillery pieces were completely turned into a pile of scrap metal by the British Kingdom's far superior firepower. Those precious Russian Imperial artillery also suffered heavy losses. They were either directly killed by the shells or were blown away by gas. The waves "blown" limbs off, and some artillerymen were completely deaf because of ruptured eardrums due to successive explosions.

When the smoke cleared, Pavlov immediately realized that all his artillerymen were probably dead.

The bad situation was not limited to this. Due to the prolonged bombardment by the British Kingdom, the morale of the soldiers in the position was also weakened by the continuous bombardment.

At this moment, Pavlov had the idea of ​​retreat.

Anyway, his purpose was just to contain the British and Turkish troops in the Joanna River. They were lucky to be able to rely on a wave of surprise attacks for the time being. Now it was time to retreat.

However, Pavlov was a little unwilling to retreat directly. He had already attacked here. As long as he persisted a little longer, he could march to the north bank of Sevastopol after Bakhchisarai's large forces arrived.

As long as I can keep this place!

Desire occupied Pavlov's brain and completely drove away Pavlov's reason.

At this time, he was like a confident gambler, betting all his wealth and the weight he had won before.

As long as he can stick to this position as firmly as a nail, then he will be able to rise to the top of his life.

Of course, during this period, countless soldiers must have lost their lives because of his actions, but what does it matter?

As the saying goes, one general can make thousands of bones dry up.

Pavlov will use the blood of Russian soldiers to forge a path to become a famous general.

Just when Pavlov was confident that he could hold it, Marshal Raglan ordered his artillery to correct their position again. This time Marshal Raglan's target was the position of the Russian Empire.

He wants the Russians on the ground to understand that artillery is not a unique product of Russia.

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

About 10 minutes later, the brigadier general of the artillery force reported to Marshal Raglan: "Your Excellency, Marshal, the artillery has been fully calibrated and can be fired!"

"Let them see how powerful you are!" Commander Raglan ordered with a serious expression.

"Yes!" The artillery brigadier saluted Commander Raglan and left.

Marshal Raglan, whose face was slightly pale, couldn't help coughing violently. Marshal Renault, who was standing next to Marshal Raglan, hurriedly came to Marshal Raglan, supported Marshal Raglan, and then gently used his hands. He patted Marshal Lajue on the back.

"Old! Old!" Marshal Raglan shook his head and said with emotion: "Back then, I could work without sleeping for days and nights, but now I am exhausted after just standing for a while!"

"Time is not forgiving!" Marshal Renault also sighed with emotion.

"Yes!" Marshal Raglan nodded, his eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence, and his tone couldn't help but grow low: "When all our generation has passed away, I'm afraid not many people will know about that legendary era. ! People will only hear fragments of it in history books..."

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

As a person who was born at the end of the Revolution and grew up during the Napoleonic Empire, Renault believed that the new ideas bred by the Revolution had quietly changed the entire world.

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

"I hope so!" Marshal Raglan responded to Marshal Renault with a wry smile.

"Furthermore, although the legendary era has ended, it does not mean that it will not appear again! It is always people who create the era. I believe that more and more people will emerge to create legends in the future!" Regno Marshal Raglan responded with a firm tone: "The future will definitely be better than the past!"

Marshal Raglan smiled and said nothing. Living in the past, he somewhat disagreed with what Marshal Rennault said, but he was unwilling to refute.

The second round of bombardment began during the conversation between Marshal Renault and Marshal Raglan, and the morale of the Russian Empire began to decline during the bombardment of the British Kingdom.

No one was willing to face the power of artillery shells with their flesh and blood. Some of the Russian Imperial soldiers who leaned their backs on the sandbags closed their eyes and began to pray.

The British kingdom's elaborate fortifications were destroyed by their own hands, and the smoke rose again.

Sitting in the temporary command post, Commander Pavlov watched the positions being bombed through binoculars while praying that Bakhchisarai's troops could arrive quickly.

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

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

"Did something happen to the Joanna River?" Mikhail immediately asked the adjutant.

"Your Highness, there is indeed a small situation!" The adjutant hurriedly told Mikhail what happened in the Joanna River.

A joyful smile instantly appeared on Mikhail's face. He patted the adjutant on the shoulder and said, "Well done!"

Jomini also had a look of surprise on his face. Pavlov's operation in the Joanna River went much smoother than he planned.

"Your Highness, I am seeking your help on the orders of Commander Pavlov. I hope you can send troops to Bakhchisarai immediately. As long as we act quickly, we can enter Sevastopol!!" the adjutant said to Mikhail pleaded.

"Teacher Jomini, what do you think?" Mikhail immediately asked Jomini what he thought.

After Jomini pondered for a moment, he said to the adjutant: "If you capture the north shore of Sevastopol, how will you deal with the naval guns anchored in the port!"

"This..." The adjutant was obviously stunned by Jomini's question. They really had no way to deal with the naval guns.

Facing the adjutant's silence, Marshal Jomini spoke again: "I will send you two more soldiers to the Joanna River to help you take Sevastopol!! However, before the troops arrive, you We must firmly hold it there!”

"Don't worry, we will do our best!" the adjutant quickly assured Jomini.

After the adjutant left the headquarters, Mikhail curiously asked Jomini if ​​there was any way to defend against naval guns.

Jomini told Mikhail that there was nothing he could do either.

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

At the very least, it would be better to slightly weaken the war potential of the North Shore than to do nothing.

Furthermore, his original plan also had no way of countering the naval port fleet.

"Just do what you say!" Mikhail nodded and said to Marshal Jomini: "I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to rest! Call me again when it's time to set off!"

Neither Grand Duke Mikhail nor Jomini expected that this mobilization would take them so much time that they would miss the best time to attack.

…

At this time, Pavlov did not know that he would need to persist for at least 6 or 7 hours before he could get support from Bakhchisarai.

In his mind, he only needs to hold on for at most 2 hours.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, when there was only the last ray of sunset left, the British artillery finally stopped after bombing for nearly an hour.

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

"Attack!" Raglan and Renault immediately gave orders to the adjutants beside them.

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

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

The Zhuav Regiment and the Highland Brigade began to advance towards the Russian Empire's positions.

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

After the Zuav Regiment and the Highland Regiment were able to successfully reach the effective range of the Miner Gun and Lee-Enfield Rifle, they stopped and began to load ammunition.

The Russian army on the position immediately pulled the trigger to attack the British and French troops. Since the rifles used by the Russian and British and French troops had different firing ranges, it was usually difficult for the Russian army to hit the British and French troops at the same distance, but the British and French troops could easily hit them. Hit them.

This time is no exception. Apart from hitting a few "lucky ones" (which can also be called unlucky ones), the Russian Empire's bullets did not kill many people at all.

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

"Fire!" the commander gave the order to fire to the British and French soldiers.

Britain and France absolutely pulled the trigger at almost the same time, gunshots rang out, and bursts of screams came from the Russian Empire's positions.

The British and French, who used rifles with a range far beyond that of the Russian Empire, eliminated more than a hundred enemies in the first round of design. After the Russian Imperial soldiers who continued to stay in the position saw the precise shooting of the Highland Brigade and the Zhuav Regiment, they looked for Shuyuanwwｗ .zhaｏshuyuan.com shivering even more.

"Quick! Go and order them to shoot! Don't let them attack!" Pavlov saw the Russian soldiers hiding in the position and did not dare to show their heads. He immediately became furious and he hurriedly gave the order to his adjutant.

"Yes!" The adjutant saluted Pavlov and immediately ran in the direction of the position.

However, his luck was a bit unlucky. When the adjutant arrived near the position, a bullet hit the adjutant's head and he fell to the ground.

The Russian Imperial soldiers were even more afraid of the Highland Brigade and the Zhuav Regiment, and they were able to reach the vicinity of the position without many people blocking them.

The Highland Brigade and Zhuav Regiment that arrived at the position quickly entered the position and engaged the Russian Imperial soldiers in close combat.
