Make France Great Again

Chapter 652 The war ends

"Ula! 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 Queen!"

The fighting between Britain, France and Russia officially started at around 6:20 pm.

At this moment, there was only a red sunset left in the sky of Sevastopol Fortress, as if it was lining the evening sky with a red skirt.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Zhuav Regiment and the Highland Brigade no longer worried about any casualties. They rushed forward as if they were crazy.

The Russian troops in the trench also tried their best to block the attack. The attackers and defenders fought with all their strength, like two ferocious beasts biting each other. The sound of gunshots, metal collisions, and screams resounded throughout the entire position. On average, dozens of soldiers die every minute.

About twenty minutes later, the sky darkened completely, and the fighting still did not stop. However, the three armies fighting in the position could only see each other's outlines.

Gradually, the Russian Imperial Army in the darkness began to fall into a disadvantage, and Russians continued to retreat back under the cover of darkness.

The Russian officers in the dark had no way to do this. Under the influence of the Russian Imperial soldiers who fled the position, the Russian soldiers stationed behind the position also retreated with them. (The actual number of combatants was only about 6,000)

It didn't take long for the Russian Imperial Army in the position to fall into chaos.

"Your Excellency, Commander, let's withdraw! We can't hold it here anymore!" Pavlov's subordinate officers pleaded to Pavlov: "If we continue to hold it, I'm afraid we will all become their prisoners!"

"Damn it!" Pavlov gritted his teeth and slapped the wall hard, complaining: "Why haven't our troops in Bakhchisarai come yet! If they could have come earlier, we would have Sevastopol has been captured!"

Nearly 5 hours have passed since the Russian Empire occupied the position. The officers he sent to Bakhchisarai for assistance have also returned for nearly 2 hours, but he did not see a single reinforcement.

This made Pavlov couldn't help but wonder if they had been abandoned by Bakhchisarai. Otherwise, why would there be no reinforcements!

"Your Excellency, Commander, let's not talk about this now! Please give the order!" Pavlov's staff continued to dissuade Pavlov.

After Pavlov thought for a moment, he gritted his teeth and issued the order: "Order all units to retreat in turn, and at the same time require officers at all levels to restrain their soldiers! Never turn the retreat into a rout!"

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

Later, Pavlov called the adjutant he 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 also shook his head, indicating that he had no idea.

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

After hearing the order, the adjutant also turned and left.

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

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

"Huh!" The Duke of Cambridge snorted coldly, showing an arrogant attitude.

Faced with the arrogance of the Duke of Cambridge, Pavlov was not angry at all. He still responded with a smile: "Your Highness, our army is defeated, so you can go back! Not only you, but also your men and guards The division’s flag can also be returned to the army!”

"Oh?" The Duke of Cambridge glanced at Pavlov suspiciously and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

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

"How can you be so kind?" 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 had to fight each other because of some misunderstandings! On the battlefield , we are enemies of life and death. Now that we are no longer on the battlefield, the identity of the two of us makes me still respect you. You are a true noble!"

Pavlov's answer made the Duke of Cambridge feel comfortable from the inside out. He was no longer as repellent to Pavlov's face as before.

"To be honest, if it hadn't been for Turkey's sudden collapse, Your Highness 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 the two of us will The army can fight openly and honestly! Just like the ancient knights, please forgive me for my offense to you!"

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

After the Duke of Cambridge was sent away from the temporary commander by General Pavlov, the adjutant standing next to Pavlov asked General Pavlov puzzledly why he let the Duke of Cambridge leave so easily.

"Do you want us to take the Duke of Cambridge with us? Or do you want us to kill the Duke of Cambridge directly?" Pavlov asked the adjutant next to him.

"Of course..." The adjutant opened his mouth but was speechless.

Whether you take the Duke of Cambridge with you or directly shoot the Duke of Cambridge, you have to bear certain risks.

If he brings the Duke of Cambridge with him, he must ensure the safety of the Duke of Cambridge, so he must allocate part of his limited troops to protect the Duke of Cambridge, and this action will undoubtedly cause him a lot of trouble.

Killing the Duke of Cambridge is even more serious. 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's shooting of him will not only cause trouble in the Kingdom of Britain. There was nothing to gain except the wrath of Emperor Nicholas I.

On the contrary, it will put him into more trouble. If something goes wrong, he will be shot by Nicholas I.

Since he could not be taken away or shot, Pavlov could only release the Duke of Cambridge in the wild.

"My release of the Duke of Cambridge actually has another benefit!" Pavlov continued.

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

"In a moment, when we are retreating, the British army will definitely stop pursuing us for the sake of the Duke of Cambridge!" Pavlov responded to the adjutant with confidence.

"Does Marshal Raglan really not know how to pursue? I remember a few hours ago, when you sent people to negotiate, they..." The adjutant did not believe what Pavlov said.

"One moment and another!" Pavlov showed a meaningful smile. He patted the adjutant on the shoulder and said: "Just watch carefully!"

The Duke of Cambridge and his remaining subordinates carried the flag of the Guards Division. After walking down from the position, they quickly arrived at the location of Marshal Raglan under the escort of soldiers!

"Marshal Your Excellency, His Highness is back!"

"who?"

"His Excellency the Duke of Cambridge!"

"Let him in!"

After the Duke of Cambridge entered the room, he saluted Marshal Raglan and Marshal Rennault respectively, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Marshal Rennault.

Omar Pasha stood there with an embarrassed look on his face. He understood that the reason why the Duke of Cambridge ignored him was simply because his Turkish troops tricked the Duke of Cambridge on the position, which led to the Duke of Cambridge's capture.

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

"Reporting to the marshal, I did not agree to any conditions!" The Duke of Cambridge responded to Marshal Raglan firmly: "And Pavlov himself also did not put forward any conditions!"

"That's good! That's good!" Marshal Raglan breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that the Duke of Cambridge agreed to Pavlov's request.

Once the Duke of Cambridge agrees to Pavlov's request, his career in the army may be completely over.

Although reporters in the British army were restricted by Marshal Raglan with the help of Jérôme Bonaparte, it did not mean that they could not do anything.

If the Duke of Cambridge really had any dealings with Pavlov, then the transactions would inevitably be discovered, and the Duke of Cambridge would also be surrounded by public opinion.

By that time, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert could not give any help to the Duke of Cambridge, and the Duke of Cambridge had to withdraw from the army.

"Pavlov is selling us face!" Marshal Raglan responded softly.

"Then let's..." the Duke of Cambridge asked.

"We just need to regain our position!" Marshal Raglan said while looking at Marshal Rennault.

Marshal Renault nodded slightly to express his agreement with Marshal Raglan.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the British and French troops completely occupied their positions.

And Pavlov's Russian army had already fled, looking for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com Go to station near the Kacha River.

After the battle for position, Britain and France counted the casualties. France's casualties were 1,100, and the British Kingdom's casualties were 1,630.

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

In the direction of Inkerman Mountain, a massive siege and annihilation battle also came to an end.

Nearly 60,000 Russian Imperial troops were destroyed by the joint attack of Canrobert, Bosquet, and Trochu. Soinov and his adjutant died on the spot.

According to later statistics, the Russian army lost approximately 40,000 soldiers on Inkerman Mountain, and only less than 20,000 Russian soldiers broke out of the encirclement.
