Chapter 486 Come to sneak attack! Come to cheat! Is this okay?
The cold, round-headed Migne bullet became scorching driven by gunpowder, flew out of the gun barrel at a speed that could not be predicted by the naked eye, and flew towards the chest of the Russian Imperial soldier.
The carrier's powerful kinetic energy and heat bullet tore through the green military uniform almost in an instant, and came into close contact with the fiery body of the Russian soldier. The poor carbon-based creature was unable to stop the high-speed rotating bullet.
When the bullet tore open and shattered the epidermis of the human body, although its speed direction changed to a certain extent, it still entered the dermis in an unstoppable manner, and the pressure wave caused by the cavity effect was also formed, just like
Just like throwing a stone into a calm pond, the body fluids in the dermis will transmit the impact force outwards in circles. The initial wound will gradually expand to the surroundings under the action of pressure waves to form muscles, internal organs, blood vessels,
Even nerves become irreversibly damaged under this shock, and even bones that are not directly hit are broken under the action of this pressure wave.
Scarlet blood flowed from the wound, and hundreds of Russian soldiers fell directly after screaming.
After the surviving Russian soldiers saw the miserable condition of their companions, there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
For a moment, they wanted to turn around and escape from the battlefield, but they knew that their commander would not let them escape like this. There must be a supervising force behind them to supervise their every move. Once
If they show signs of leaving the scene without authorization, these members will shoot at them mercilessly.
And even if they can successfully evade the bullets of the supervising team and evacuate the battlefield, they will not have to return to the army. The Russian army's punishment for escaping from the battlefield without permission is much more terrifying than for them to die here.
Under the dual pressure of war supervision and military law, this group of Russian soldiers could only bravely rush forward. As long as they could rush to the barbed wire fence and break the barbed wire fence, they would be able to fight to the death with those guys in the trenches.
The Russian Empire soldier gritted his teeth and showed a ferocious look on his face.
90,85,80……
As the barbed wire fence got closer and closer to the Russian soldiers, the expressions of the Russian soldiers became more and more ferocious.
At the same time, three artillery batteries about one kilometer away from the barbed wire fence also completed their corrections.
Each artillery battery, under the order of its artillery commander, fires at the positions of the coalition forces.
"Fire!"
More than 20 grenades were smashed near the trenches. Major General Conrobel quickly ordered the soldiers in the trenches to squat down. The grenades hit the trenches, raising a lot of dust and making the entire battlefield hazy. The uniforms of the coalition troops
It is also stained with dust.
Fortunately, more than twenty grenades did not cause any damage to the coalition troops.
The Russian artillery, which relies on shooting by hand, is obviously still unable to compare with the French artillery, which is guided by systematic theoretical knowledge.
However, the artillery attack was not useless. At least it bought some time for the Russian Imperial soldiers.
When the coalition forces reacted, the Russian Imperial soldiers were already at the barbed wire fence. The engineers mixed in with the Russian soldiers took out pliers and began to clean the barbed wire fence one by one.
In order to cover the actions of the engineering troops, the surrounding Russian Imperial soldiers also stood still and shot at the coalition troops in the trenches.
Since the distance between the two was less than 200 meters, the Russian soldiers holding muskets also caused casualties to the coalition troops, and a few coalition soldiers were hit by musket bullets.
"Fire, don't stop!" Major General Canrobert once again issued the order to the coalition forces.
The Juav Regiment, the Scottish Fusiliers, the Sardinian Chasseurs, and the Ottoman Infantry Regiment began to fire a second round of fire at the other end of the barbed wire fence. A few soldiers with keen minds specifically aimed at the engineers.
The engineer responsible for cutting the barbed wire was directly killed, and the second round of shooting claimed the lives of more than a thousand people.
Just when the morale of the Russian soldiers was once again at risk of being shaken, the second round of attacks by the artillery battery followed.
The Allied Forces' position was hit again. The dust that filled the position and the smoke generated by the incompletely burned gunpowder interfered with the Allied Forces' shooting.
This gave the Russian Imperial Army a little breathing space, and it took a moment for the Russian Imperial Army to adjust to its condition.
Major General Canrobert, who was staying in the trench, frowned and looked at the artillery troops in the distance. Then he glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and muttered in a low voice: "It's time to come!"
…
"That's right, that's it!" Brigadier General Orlov, who was completely unaware of his situation in the distance, said excitedly while holding a telescope and looking at the grenades that kept hitting the trenches.
"Division Commander, should we retreat back?" The two brigade commanders next to Brigadier General Orlov continued to persuade Little Orlov earnestly.
"Withdraw? Why withdraw!" Brigadier General Orlov Jr. looked unhappy and tried to persuade the brigade commander to scold him: "Our army is at the most critical moment now, and you actually asked me, the division commander, to withdraw to the rear.
!”
The two brigade commanders looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
No one can persuade a superior officer!
While Brigadier General Orlov Jr. was concentrating on the battle around the barbed wire fence, in the bushes on the flank of the Polish 1st Division, a group of several hundred Bash Bozuk cavalry troops were commanding their commander, who was over 10 years old.
Led by the seventy-year-old "Kurdish Saint" Fatima Khanum, they prepared to launch a surprise attack on the artillery units of the Russian Empire.
Gu Yao
This is the plan arrived at after discussions between General Canrobert, Jérôme Patterson, Brigadier General Bazin and others.
Make full use of Bashi Bozuk's excellent mobility and guerrilla capabilities, let them lurk in the bushes in advance, raid the artillery positions, and achieve the result of annihilating the artillery company.
In order to let the artillery troops relax their vigilance, the Bashbozuk soldiers stood still before two rounds of shelling.
After the two rounds of shelling, all Russian Imperial soldiers must be around the barbed wire fence.
It will then be the time for Bashi Bozuk to hunt down the artillery troops. Now that the second round of shelling has passed, it is time for Bash Bozuk's cavalry to dispatch.
I saw Fatima Khanum, holding a Turkish scimitar in her left hand and a Turkish battle flag in her right hand, shouting loudly: "Thanks be to Allah!"
The surrounding Bash Bozuk cavalry also shouted words such as "Allah bless!" and "Thanks to Allah" in different languages!
Under the leadership of Fatima Khanum, several hundred cavalry troops rushed out of the bushes and charged in the direction of the artillery troops. Like an unstoppable tornado, they vowed to destroy everything in sight.
destroy.
For a moment, the whole earth began to tremble slightly. Brigadier General Orlov, who heard the noise in the distance, followed the sound and looked over. He saw the cavalry unit led by Fatima Khanum heading towards
Their camp rushed over, and their temporary artillery units were targeted.
"Oh God!" A strong sense of dizziness poured into Brigadier General Orlov's mind. He hurriedly said to the two brigade commanders beside him: "Get back to defense quickly!"
Seeing this, the two brigade commanders did not hesitate to lead the infantry unit that had not yet entered the battle and rushed back, trying to rescue the cavalry as much as possible.
The next second after the two brigade commanders left Brigadier General Orlov Jr., a bullet was fired from the coalition camp, and its target was Brigadier General Orlov Jr.
The scorching minie bomb crossed a distance of more than 500 meters and came to Little Orlov's side. Because the terrain of the coalition troops was higher, this bullet from high to low shattered Brigadier General Little Orlov's right side.
The jawbone of the face rotated and penetrated the upper palate and tongue. Finally, a big hole was made in the cheek of the lower jaw and shot to the ground.
Poor little Brigadier General Orlov died immediately without even saying his last words.
With a "pop" sound, Brigadier General Orlov's body fell heavily to the ground.
The two brigade commanders who heard the noise quickly turned around and took a look, but it was already too late.
"Division Commander!" The two brigade commanders couldn't help shouting to Brigadier General Orlov Jr. when something unexpected happened. The next second, four Minie bombs were fired from the coalition troops again and hit the two brigade commanders.
Body.
The two brigade commanders also died here along with their division commander. After the Russian Imperial Army, which was originally in an offensive state, lost its division commander and brigade commander one after another, its morale immediately collapsed.
"Run!"
A shout came from nowhere, and the middle and lower-level commanders and soldiers of the Russian Empire, including the regiment commander, began to turn around and retreat crazily, without realizing at all how stupid it was to hand their backs to the coalition forces.
Behavior.
A stampede caused by the retreat also occurred. Faced with such a situation, Major General Canrobert immediately issued an order for all personnel to fire freely.
Facing living targets with their backs turned to them, even a shooter with poor shooting skills can still kill one with luck.
More than 2,000 Russian Imperial soldiers were killed by coalition forces because of their hasty retreat.
On the other hand, hundreds of Bash Bozuk cavalry also successfully completed their mission.
The cavalry who rushed to the artillery camp slashed the opponent's body with the saber before the artillery troops could react.
After the saber cut into the human body, it made a slight "puff" sound. Blood flowed as the saber was withdrawn from the body. The Russian artilleryman fell to the ground with a miserable cry.
The cavalryman who killed one artilleryman immediately aimed at the next artilleryman without any hesitation, raised his knife and dropped it. Another fresh life was taken away by the cavalryman.
After charging into the only three artillery batteries and killing them all, the Bashbozuk cavalry turned their attention to the fleeing Russian infantry.
At this time, with their powerful maneuverability, they transformed into the gods of death on the battlefield, ruthlessly harvesting infantry one after another.
The Russian soldiers who were just running away didn't want to confront them head-on. In their hearts, they didn't need to outrun the Bashbozuk cavalry, as long as they could outrun the 0 opponents around them.
Then, an even more magical scene happened on the battlefield of Silistra. Hundreds of Bash Pozuk soldiers chased thousands of Russian soldiers and slaughtered them wantonly. Not a single Russian soldier turned around to fight against Bash.
Bozuk Cavalry Troops, every one of them wants to escape from here as soon as possible.
Blood dripped from Bashbozuk's saber, and the Bashbozuk cavalry seemed to be waving the saber tirelessly.
Until the arrival of the Cossack cavalry troops, the Bashbozuk cavalry, knowing that they were outmatched, could only withdraw from the battlefield.
