Chapter 645 The army that started in chaos

The battle on the left flank of Inkerman Hill has officially begun.

Looking at the group of Russian Imperial troops rushing forward in front of them, the Sardinian Chasseurs quickly pulled the trigger.

The round-headed Migne projectile, which was given kinetic energy by the gunpowder, spun out of the muzzle at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already leapt nearly a hundred meters away and headed straight towards the soldiers of the Russian Empire.

The Slavic beast that was shouting "Ula" one second fell down the next second, blood pouring out from its chest.

In just the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred Russian Imperial soldiers were killed, and dozens more soldiers suffered varying degrees of gunshot wounds.

This was undoubtedly an unbearable loss for the vanguard force, which originally had only more than 1,000 people.

Many soldiers of the Russian Empire began to retreat backwards, disobeying the officers' orders. Upon seeing this, Oliver Cagne immediately smiled with joy.

At this time, he had already forgotten about the artillery of the Russian Empire, and he only thought about victory. In his eyes, as long as he could completely annihilate the invading enemies in front of him, all the mistakes he had made before would be wiped out.

A write-off.

If he is lucky, he himself can be promoted and make a fortune.

Because the enemy opposite is the Russian Imperial Army!

Even if the Russian Imperial Army is hung up and beaten by the British and French armies, it will not prevent them from still being third in the world.

After all, no country has yet been able to defeat such an alliance.

As long as the army he leads can defeat the Russian Imperial Army, then their Sardinian army can boast that it is the third most powerful military power in the world.

Furthermore, even if they cannot encircle and annihilate them, Sardinia can still stop them if they want to run away from the Russian Empire.

After weighing the pros and cons, Oliver Cagne pulled out the command sword tied around his waist and shouted: "Long live Sardinia! For His Majesty the King!"

When the Sardinian Chasseur officers under his command heard Oliver Cagne's call, they immediately understood that this was a signal to charge.

"Long live Sardinia! For His Majesty the King!" Sardinian officers shouted in unison, and then led the troops they received to attack the Russian Imperial Army.

Because the location of the battle this time was not on the pioneer land, but in the woods on the left flank of Inkerman Mountain.

Therefore, neither the attacking side nor the retreating side can launch an attack in the traditional horizontal formation.

Only skirmisher line tactics can be used to launch attacks. However, skirmisher line tactics test the individual qualities of each soldier. If you are not careful, your comrades in the front row will be shot dead by your comrades in the back row.

Historically, when the Russian Imperial Army attacked the British Army on Inkerman Mountain from Sevastopol, friendly forces shot each other.

Fortunately, the individual quality of this Sardinian army is the best in the entire Sardinia. They were forced to use skirmish line tactics. They used their dexterity to avoid their comrades in front while loading bullets.

.

About twenty seconds after the Sardinian army launched its charge, the second round of shooting began.

The retreating Russian Imperial Army lost more than fifty people again, while the Sardinian side only suffered about twenty casualties from the encounter with the Russian Imperial soldiers to the second round of shooting.

However, the Sardinian army, whose morale was high, would soon face setbacks.

Only after this Sardinian army came into close combat with the Russian Imperial Army did they truly realize what it means to be a first-rate power.

When the Russian Empire, whose morale was about to collapse, found that the Kingdom of Sardinia had abandoned its advantage and started a hand-to-hand battle with them.

The perseverance in the genes of this group of Slavs who lived in the bitter cold zone and struggled with nature every year was quickly awakened. Some Russian Imperial soldiers stopped their retreat and launched an attack on the Kingdom of Sardinia.

A desperate counterattack.

Caught off guard, the Sardinian Chasseurs had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Russian Imperial soldiers. Due to the physical differences between the two sides, the Sardinian Chasseurs had some inherent disadvantages.

Soon, dozens of soldiers from the Sardinian Chasseur Battalion were stabbed to death by the Russian Imperial Army.

The morale of the soldiers in the Jaeger Battalion dropped slightly, and after seeing this scene, the Russian Empire soldiers shouted "Ula" excitedly.

Then, ignoring the officer's orders, he turned around and fought with the Sardinian soldiers. Soon, the Russian Imperial Army and the Sardinian Army fell into a melee.

The brigadier general in charge of commanding the vanguard showed a helpless smile after seeing this scene, and then sent his adjutant back to the headquarters at the foot of the mountain to tell Commander Soilov at the headquarters about the situation of the vanguard, and asked him to send some people over.

reinforce.

After explaining the situation, the brigadier general also rode towards the center of the fighting.

Upon seeing this, the adjutant had no choice but to ride his horse and ran towards the headquarters on the ridge. About 10 minutes later, the adjutant arrived at the gate of the Russian Empire Headquarters.

At this time, Commander Soilov, who commanded the 4th and 5th armies of the Russian Empire, was receiving the adjutant of the offensive force on the main peak of Inkerman Mountain.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our troops deployed on the Inkerman Mountains, the Okhotsk Group, the Yakutsky Group, and the Selenginsky Group were all subjected to fierce artillery attacks by the French army on the top of the mountain..." The disgraced adjutant General Inker

Commander Soilov was informed about the battle on Mount Man.

"Where are the artillery I gave you? Why don't you use the artillery in your hands to bombard those damn French people?" Soilov scolded the adjutant.

"Your Excellency, the artillery in our hands is no match for them! I estimate that they have at least 300-400 artillery deployed on this mountain, and a large part of them should be large-caliber artillery.

Moreover, the French have also built bastions and trenches on the mountainside, so our artillery can't do much damage to them!" the adjutant immediately explained to Soilov.

"More than 300-400 artillery pieces?" Soilov's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face. He swallowed and said, "Are those French people crazy? There are so many artillery pieces deployed here.

!”

"Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do now? Should we continue the attack or postpone it?" the adjutant asked with a sad face.

Soilov gritted his teeth and responded to him: "Continue to put pressure on the French army on Inkerman Mountain, and also transfer the Tarutins and Ekaterina regiments there! I don't believe it! Inker

Manshan can still be made of iron!"

Nearly 10,000 elite troops from 5 regiments joined forces to attack Inkerman Mountain. If such a large-scale attack could not shake the Russian army on Inkerman Mountain, Soilov really didn’t know how to fight this battle. He received

The order was to wipe out the French army on Inkerman Mountain at all costs.

Of course, what Soilov didn't know was that Gorchakov and the others did not expect to rely on 60,000 Russian Imperial troops to defeat the troops on Inkerman Mountain. In their plan, the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army were

A chess piece that attracted Inkerman Mountain and Ferdo Aurous Tomb. To put it more ugly, their 60,000 people were a discarded piece.

And the reason why they gave Soilov the order to attack at all costs was to prevent the army from retreating as much as possible.

If they tell Soilov about their strategic goals and plans, then Soilov will inevitably hesitate and be unable to do his best to delay it.

What the Russian Empire generals are best at is to carry out the orders handed down from above at great discount. Some troops even ignore the orders from the top and do their own thing.

The result of this is often that one's own strategic deployment is completely shattered by his subordinates, and the entire army falls into chaos.

"Yes!" the adjutant responded helplessly, saluted Soilov and left.

Later, a soldier entered the camp and reported to Soilov the news of the arrival of the army adjutant from the left wing of Inkerman Mountain.

"Let him in!" Soilov waved his hand and said to the soldiers, and the left wing adjutant of Inkerman Mountain was able to enter.

The adjutant of the left wing of Inkerman Mountain entered the camp and reported the news of the left wing of Inkerman Mountain to Soilov.

"I'm not telling you! Don't engage in battle, don't engage in battle! What's going on with you? Do you still have me as the commander in your eyes?" Soilov yelled.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is nothing we can do!" the left-wing adjutant responded to Soilov with a wry smile: "Who would have thought that our army would become like this!"

"What do you think we should do now! Soilov said with an angry smile: "Should I order the artillery to destroy you and the Sardinian army together!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, you must not do this!" The adjutant (left) changed his expression after hearing Soilov's words.

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Soilov asked with a sneer: "Originally, I wanted you to attract the Sardinian soldiers down the mountain, and then use artillery to destroy them! Now it's better, you can really give me

I'm looking for trouble! Tell me, what do you want?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, can you please reinforce a group of soldiers!" The adjutant (left) stretched out an index finger and said to Commander Soilov: "1,000 people! Just 1,000 people are enough! Our brigadier general promises to fight.

A beautiful war!"

"A beautiful war! Thank God, it's already good if you don't cause any trouble to me!" Soilov complained, "I will give you four more infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, and you must give me a clean and tidy battle."

Eat those guys on the left wing! Let them know that if you follow France, you may not be able to eat meat, and you may also get beaten! Tell your brigadier general that if he can't give me a satisfactory result, he will wait to take off his uniform and get out of the army.

Bar!"

"Thank you very much!" the adjutant (left) immediately saluted Soilov and left.

(Left) After the adjutant left, Soilov came to the map again. Looking at the map in front of him, Soilov muttered to himself: "It's a mess! It's all a mess!"
