The Crescent of the Sultan

A very strange situation occurred on the battlefield, which was roughly similar to the Western Front in World War II.

Major General Alexei had completely withdrawn his army at this time, and he looked like he was refusing to move.

If the opponent doesn't move, Sharifali will definitely not be able to charge directly with the light cavalry. This is a cavalry, not a Gundam. It's better to charge forward and die.

As for what is going on inside the Russian army, this issue is also easy to explain.

If the attack was unfavorable, it was definitely not a problem with the command of the great Major General Alexei, so the three brigade commanders were naturally scolded. After scolding, Major General Alexey analyzed it carefully, and he immediately came to the conclusion that the reason why his side failed to defeat the opponent in one battle was because the pre-war plan was not discussed in detail enough.

So Major General Alexei specially held a pre-war meeting with the officers in the army, which lasted two hours.

Basically, Major General Alexei was speaking alone, talking about the Russian army's lack of coordination and poor command, and the need to cooperate with each other. The infantry should pay attention to shooting, the cavalry should pay attention to covering, and the artillery should pay attention to fire coverage.

After the meeting, the Russian army launched another attack.

It has to be said that although Major General Alexey has convulsions from time to time, he still has the most basic military qualities, as long as he is normal at this time.

The Russian army was organized again. Although their quality was not high and their command was average, the cooperation of multiple arms was not something that a single cavalry could resist, especially the Circassian cavalry, which was almost entirely cold weapons.

Under the full attack of the Russian army, the rout began.

The Circassian cavalry was no match for the combined army. After being entangled by the Russian cavalry, the Russian infantry's free fire almost made the Circassians cry.

After resisting for a while, Sherifali led the cavalry into the valley. It was said to be a valley, but in fact it was a narrow path that could hardly accommodate too many people. Major General Alexey was not stupid. He sent a small number of troops. After blocking the entrance of the valley, he personally led the main force in pursuit.

In the middle of the mountain road, several Russian cavalry scouts threw the bodies in their hands off the cliff, shook their sabers, and prepared to go back and report to the battalion commander.

There can be no ambush in this place. Although the entire mountain is not very tall, it is very steep and is not a place to hide people.

Among the mountains, a Polish army battalion commander put away his binoculars, came out of the trees, and reached the rear.

This is where the ambush is hidden.

The battalion commander looked around again, led his men into the bushes, lifted the branches, and revealed a cannon inside.

He said nothing the whole time, what he was thinking was.

“If the Russians find out about this, the Circassians will no longer deserve to be the local gangsters here for so many years.

You know, this road is where the Circassians made their fortune. Although Sochi in the west can pass people, the only way to pass goods is this road and the road to the sea in the east.

The main business of this group of Circassians in the early years was to ambush and then rob on this road.

Although this group of people no longer need to learn the craftsmanship of their ancestors, their understanding of this mountain road is still there. "

Picking up the binoculars, he squinted towards the mountain road.

Hundreds of Russian vanguard cavalry had passed.

Afterwards, the Russian infantry troops were escorting the captured Circassians who had not escaped.

"We have a start, but we may have to let the Russians go a little deeper."

Sultan on the mountain was talking to the brigade commander left here by Dombrowski.

The setting sun has already set in the mountains in the distance. The Russian army on the mountain road has never stopped and is still chasing Sherifali's cavalry.

Sultan spoke.

"Okay, get ready to fire now, start fighting from here, the Russian army will not be able to go back.

Their fate has been determined. "

The command flag waved, and the artillery ambushed on the mountain made a loud noise almost at the same time.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound from the cannon barrel, and the shells were spit out, hitting a group of Russian soldiers. Many Russian soldiers died, some had broken hands, some had broken legs, and some fell directly from the mountain road.

But it wasn't just the shells that caused damage, many rocks also began to roll down.

The artillery did not stop, and the landslides continued.

The Russian forward was almost completely defeated.

Alexey, who is in the middle army, is thinking about his reward. He has been in the Caucasus for a long time. This ghost place is not comparable to St. Petersburg. After capturing the leader of the Circassians this time, he will I asked the Tsar to be transferred back. Who wants to stay in this ungrateful place?

Just as Alexey was recalling the gentle countryside he had experienced in St. Petersburg many years ago, the war horse under his crotch suddenly frightened, raised its front hooves, and neighed.

Alexei reined in his frightened horse and looked up. The top of the mountain directly in front exploded with a bang. The boulders were crumbling and crashed down.

To be honest, the Circassians have also thought about this plan. After all, with their strength, it is almost impossible to defeat the Russian army head-on. However, they lack artillery, so they have to give up.

Dombrowski's army made this plan possible. After all, the Polish army's equipment was still good.

Having already suffered a blow, it is almost impossible for the Russian army to turn defeat into victory in this terrain.

Victory was already clear.

Alexei wanted to escape back the same way, but the Circassian cavalry had already rushed up, and the prisoners began to resist, and the artillery on the mountain did not stop.

As for the entrance of the valley, due to terrain considerations, the Russian army did not bring artillery. Such a road is not suitable for artillery operations at all, so Alexey arranged the artillery company and a small number of infantry at the entrance of the valley, which served as a way to wait on the side. Dombrowski created the opportunity.

Due to their defection to the Ottoman Empire and the blood feud with Russia, Prussia, and Austria, the Polish Hussars had already adopted red uniforms. Like the God of Death, they ruthlessly harvested the Russian army at the entrance of the valley.

Now it’s time to catch a turtle in a urn.
