Make France Great Again

"Let me lead my men down the mountain in pursuit! Commander Raglan, I can assure you that my army will kill them all!"

Standing on Mount Kurgan, looking at a large group of fallen soldiers of the Russian Empire in the distance, George Brown's mind became active again.

Although he said that the troops of the 1st Division under his command were very tired after a long period of fighting, the morale and fatigue of the Russian soldiers who hurriedly fled the Kurgan Mountains were obviously more serious than those of the 1st Division.

George Brown peerlessly believed that his army only needed a sneak attack on the fleeing Russian troops, and those Russian troops were so frightened that they didn't dare to fight against them. An army without command is like a pig waiting to be slaughtered... no, not even a herd of pigs.

Humans who claim to be high-level creatures will obey the constraints of reason and choose to surrender decisively when they know they are invincible. A group of domestic pigs obviously have no rational constraints, and they will also struggle twice in the face of the butchers' knives.

Facing George Brown's peerless request for battle, Commander Raglan shook his head and said coldly, "You don't need to take action anymore!"

"But!" George Brown said unwillingly.

"Look there!" Commander Raglan pointed his finger to the other end, and at the end of Commander Raglan's finger there was a large piece of gray-brown dust floating in the air.

"That's it!" George Brown squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to the adjutant beside him. The adjutant understood and handed the binoculars in his suitcase to the teacher's hand.

Through the telescope, Sir George Brown saw the cyan torrent "hidden" in the dust, and he could not help shouting: "That is... our cavalry!"

That's right, the dust maker is the light cavalry brigade of the British kingdom.

This cavalry unit, which once lost in the Bulcanak River, will be embarrassed in the next battle.

In charge of this light cavalry brigade was James Thomas Brudnell, Duke of Cardigan. Born into a traditional English noble family, he was set by his noble father to join the army from the very beginning.

In order to make the Duke of Cardigan adapt to life in the army earlier, his father, the old Duke of Cardigan, sent him to an academy founded by the church to study knowledge when he was very young.

Under the restraint of the missionary teachers of the Mission College, the Duke of Cardigan did not live a Puritan life like the English aristocrats in the new era. It made him develop a hard-working spirit. After graduating from the Church College, the Duke of Cardigan entered the Christ Church College of Oxford University to receive a university education under the recommendation of the college teachers. After graduating from Christ Church College, the Duke of Cardigan still did not forget his original intention and chose to join the British without hesitation. Army, and then with the help of the family bought a position in the cavalry regiment.

The Duke of Cardigan, who had been in the cavalry for many years, had long regarded the glory of the cavalry as something more important than his life, when the Duke of Cardigan heard that his light cavalry had suffered a defeat on the Bulcanak River. , the Duke of Cardigan was determined to wash away the black spots of the cavalry with his own hands, so before the Battle of Armagh began, the Duke of Cardigan asked Commander Raglan to fight, and the Duke of Cardigan hoped that Commander Raglan would fight. Able to let their cavalry units rush to the front and help the follow-up units to clear obstacles.

Commander Raglan at that time decisively rejected Duke Cardigan's suggestion. For Commander Raglan, who had experienced the Napoleonic Wars, the role of cavalry units was limited to reconnaissance of the enemy's movements and chasing down the enemy.

Any use of cavalry as infantry is irresponsible to the cavalry, so Commander Raglan refused to lead the charge of light cavalry led by the Duke of Cardigan, and also agreed to the Duke of Cardigan to pursue and route them. The tasks of the soldiers were handed over to the cavalry units to complete.

The Duke of Cardigan, who received the task, immediately assured Commander Raglan that he would not spare any of the fleeing Russian troops.

After the war began, the Duke of Cardigan led his cavalry to the northwest and walked about 4 kilometers along the Alma River according to Commander Raglan's instructions, and then found a bridge that had not been destroyed. It took nearly an hour for a group of people (three groups were made up, and now there are only two groups left) to cross the bridge.

The Duke of Cardigan, who had all crossed the bridge, followed Commander Raglan's instructions and made a large circle to reach the Kacha River (the Kacha River is located in the south of the Alma River), and he wanted to follow the Kacha River to the southwest. Set out to meet the Russian soldiers who may have fled here.

Soon, the first group of Russian troops appeared in front of the light cavalry brigade, and the Duke of Cardigan immediately led his light cavalry to surround it.

This group of less than a hundred troops immediately surrendered to the Duke of Cardigan. The Duke of Cardigan, who was on a horse, asked the number of their troops and whether they were troops that escaped from Mount Kurgan.

The routed soldiers told the Duke of Cardigan that they were infantry from the Muscovite regiment, and that they had been reduced to such a situation only because of a surprise attack by the French army.

"Where are you going?" Duke Cardigan asked the trooper, placing his long sword on the neck of a Russian trooper who looked like an officer.

"We were going to return to the Sevastopol fortress. Who would have thought that we would go up to the peak and ordered us to hold the Sevastopol trail and lead the large troops to leave!" Reply: "We had to follow our commander to guard on the Sevastopol trail, who had already escaped successfully..."

Having said this, the voice of the Russian rout began to tremble: "But before we were ready, the group of French soldiers who broke us up at the Telegraph Mountain were chasing us like mad dogs! They rely on powerful weapons. Once again, the troops we finally gathered were easily defeated, and the scattered troops began to run in all directions trying to escape the battlefield. My men and I also found a direction to break through! After the successful breakout, we are preparing to go to Kacha He's healing at the bandaging station in the river, but I never expected to meet you!"

The Earl of Cardigan listened to the news of the Russian collapse with a serious face, and gradually deduced the possible location of the Russian Imperial Army through the scattered information given by the Russian collapse. After a while, the Duke of Cardigan would stand in the Russian collapse. After the long sword on the soldier's neck was removed, he said: "Sir, I now officially inform you! You and your subordinates have been our British prisoners from now on! I hope you can give up your resistance!"

"Sir, do you look like we want to resist?" the Russian Empire said to Duke Cardigan with a wry smile.

Afterwards, the Duke of Cardigan deliberately divided his 2,000 soldiers into 200 soldiers to be responsible for guarding the group of Russian rout, and then a regiment of cavalry was selected to go along the Kacha River according to the position provided by the rout of the Russian Empire. Bandaging station, if possible, occupy the bandaging station first and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

In the end, the Duke of Cardigan led the remaining troops to the Sevastopol trail near the Kurgan Mountains. According to the information about the collapse of the Russian Empire, it can be concluded that the large troops of the Russian Empire are likely to appear there. It is imperative to get there as soon as possible so as not to miss the hunt for the Russian Empire.

When the Duke of Cardigan led more than 1,000 cavalry under his horse and arrived at a highland less than 2 kilometers from the Sevastopol Trail (less than 3 kilometers from the Kurgan Mountain), he rode on a horse and looked through the telescope. The Russian Imperial Army was seen fleeing in the distance.

Although the troop in the telescope was ten times his own, Earl Cardigan did not feel afraid, and even had an inexplicable excitement.

Under the breeze mixed with the fragrance of green grass, the Earl of Cardigan, wearing a gorgeous cyan military uniform and several shiny medals hanging on his chest, drew his long sword.

"attack!"

With the order of the Earl of Cardigan, more than a thousand cavalry troops under his command all drew out the long swords hanging from their waists, and then the warhorses under their crotch also ran wildly under the supervision of their masters. The originally slow-flowing air suddenly accelerated, and the gentle breeze also became manic with the gradual acceleration of the light cavalry troops. More than 6,000 horses' hooves trampled on the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Gradually, the speed of the cavalry unit increased, and the dust raised by the horseshoe trampling on the ground formed a phenomenon similar to a smoke screen and flew behind the cavalry unit.

This is what the first division commander saw on Mount Kurgan. If it wasn't for the binoculars in their hands, they wouldn't even be able to capture the cavalry.

Under the watchful eyes of Commander Raglan and others, the light cavalry brigade pierced into the chest cavity of the defeated "Russian giant" like a sharp knife.

The Russian army, whose morale was already at a low point, was suddenly attacked by the British light cavalry, and the panicked Russian soldiers began to flee around.

"Quick! Defense! Defense!" The officers in the army desperately tried to maintain the stability of the entire army, but in this environment, there were a few people who really listened to their words.

Several commanders who tried to organize people's in-situ defense were killed by Russian soldiers who wanted to escape~www.readwn.com~ In just a few minutes, nearly 500 Russian Imperial soldiers died, the vast majority of them. Not a situation caused by the British Hussars, but a problem caused by the stampede of the Russian Empire on each other.

After a series of rushing kills, this 10,000-strong rout team was forcibly divided into two sections by the light cavalry, and the artillery at the rear of the unit became the focus of the British light cavalry.

The panicked artillerymen had long forgotten to resist, and they desperately wanted to escape from the battlefield after leaving the artillery.

It is a pity that the Duke of Cardigan did not intend to let go of these cherished arms, and the artillerymen were cut down to the ground by the cavalry.

This situation continued for nearly 10 minutes, and a group of 500 Russian cavalry appeared, they were the Kyiv Hussars.

After several rounds of fierce battles with the Kyiv Hussars led by the cavalry of the Duke of Cardigan, the Kyiv Hussars left the field with more than 50 corpses.

The rout of the Russian Empire had also been divided into several parts and fled the battlefield. The Duke of Cardigan had to divide his cavalry into 5 squads to pursue them separately, and he led the remaining troops back to Mount Kurgan.
