While the British and Russian armies were reaching a stalemate on the Kurgan Mountains, the Russian soldiers of the Moscow Regiment, the Minsk Regiment and the Kiev Hussars Regiment located on the highlands of Telegraph Hill on the left wing of the Kurgan Mountains did not yet know that a sudden attack was about to come. to the top of their heads.

At this moment, the vast majority of the soldiers in these three regiments are squatting step by step on the heights of Telegraph Hill under the leadership of their stupid commander, the drunken Lieutenant General Kiriako, waiting for the arrival of Prince Menshikov on Kurgan Mountain. With the order, a small number of soldiers were sent by Chiriaco to watch the French troops on the south bank of the cliff.

On the north bank of the Alma River, close to the coastline, a huge team also appeared. They are the assault brigade specially prepared by General Pellissier to capture the heights of Telegraph Hill. This assault brigade is led by Major General Bosquet, commander of the French Second Division. The entire brigade has two Juav regiments and one Sardinian regiment. The Niya Chasseur Regiment and an artillery battalion. The artillery battalion also has three artillery batteries. Each artillery battery has 6 artillery pieces (4 6-pound small Napoleon cannons and 2 12-pound large Napoleon cannons). It can be said that the equipment Complete and well made.

"superior!"

This well-equipped assault brigade, under the order of their commander, Major General Bosslai, took off the backpacks on their backs, swam across the Alma River in groups of three, and then swam under the cover of trees below the cliff. , climbed up the cliff.

As the Zhuav soldiers climbed up the cliff, the Russian Imperial soldiers who were monitoring the north bank on the cliff were in a careless state. They simply did not believe that anyone could climb the cliff fifty meters higher than the south bank, unless the French soldiers personally All have a pair of wings.

When the first group of 21 Zhuav soldiers climbed up the cliff, they immediately hid behind the rocks.

The Russian Empire, who was responsible for guarding the cliff, did not notice that the Zhuav soldiers had quietly touched it. So, without the knowledge of the Russian Imperial soldiers, the first group of Zhuav soldiers slowly approached the Russian soldiers on the edge of the cliff, and then took out The dagger on his waist was aimed hard at the neck of the Russian Imperial soldier.

The sharp dagger cut off the vocal cords and blood vessels of the Russian Imperial soldier, and blood continuously spurted out from the Russian Imperial soldier's Adam's apple. The Russian Imperial soldier in unbearable pain wanted to make a sound to alert his comrades in the rear, but found that he could not make any sound at all. the sound of.

The 40-man Russian team monitoring the cliff was directly killed by the Zhuav regiment that climbed up. After the first team killed the Russian soldiers on the edge of the cliff, they immediately waved to the follow-up troops who were climbing below the cliff.

The follow-up troops were able to continue climbing up, but Lieutenant General Kiriaco on the heights of Telegraph Hill had no idea what was happening here.

After more than half an hour passed, Kiriako, holding a wine bottle, remembered that the Russian Empire on the edge of the cliff had not reported to him for a long time.

Lieutenant General Kiriako, smelling of alcohol, went to the head of his Moscow regiment and asked him why there was no news from the cliff.

"How about I go take a look?" the head of the Moscow regiment asked Lieutenant General Kiriako.

"Go back quickly!" Kiriako nodded and agreed to the request of the Moscow regiment leader.

After the head of the Moscow regiment left, Lieutenant General Kiriako took another sip of the remaining wine in the bottle, staggered back to the cabin and lay on the table.

After receiving instructions from Lieutenant General Kiriako, the head of the Moscow regiment quickly led a team of 20 people to follow him to the cliff to check the situation. When the head of the Moscow regiment was only more than 300 meters away from the cliff, a bullet was fired. A "whoosh" sound shot toward the leader's eyeballs from behind a rock in the distance.

The leader was caught off guard and was hit directly in the eyeball by a bullet. The bullet that hit the eyeball penetrated the leader's brain with its huge kinetic energy.

The bullet only took a short 2 seconds to eliminate the commander who had been "forged" by the Russian Empire at a huge cost.

The regiment leader fell heavily to the ground. The Russian soldiers on the side quickly set up their guns and looked around for the guy who shot the regiment leader.

Before the group of Russian soldiers could find the murderer of the regiment leader, the second wave of bullets hit the chests of these Russian soldiers.

More than 20 Russian soldiers and a regiment commander were all wiped out in just about two minutes, leaving only a few iron bullets on the scene.

The murderer was also more than 400 meters away from this group of Russian Empire soldiers.

The gunshots heard in the distance made the Russian Imperial officers deployed on Telegraph Hill have a bad feeling. After hearing the gunshots, the head of the Minsk regiment hurriedly came to Lieutenant General Kiriako. Report the movement on the edge of the cliff to Kiriako, and boldly put forward his own guess.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, do you think the coalition forces climbed to the top of the mountain?" the Minsk regimental leader asked Kiriako.

"No! Impossible? How could they climb up from such a high cliff!" Lieutenant General Kiriaco, who lives up to his reputation as a waste, decisively denied the correct answer, and then put forward the question with a posture of knowing his wisdom. My own guess: "Furthermore, their main force is already under our surveillance (Guards Division)! Even if a few troops climb up, it will be of no avail. I guess the soldiers on the cliff must be using muskets to fire at the people on the other side." Soldiers attack, they are always doing useless work!"

"Is this really the case?" The leader of the Minsk regiment was still a little skeptical. He suggested to Lieutenant General Kiriako that he should lead the troops to the cliff to check the situation. If nothing happened, that would be great! If something does happen, they can prepare as early as possible.

"I have sent other people there! Don't go there again!" Lieutenant General Kiriaco looked at the regiment leader in front of him impatiently and said: "Your task now is to guard this place for me! When Prince Menshikov needs you, you will step in for me immediately! Do you understand?"

"Got it!" The leader of the Minsk regiment heard the impatience of Lieutenant General Kiriako, and he had no choice but to put aside his suspicions and "squat" in the trench honestly.

After the leader of the Minsk regiment left, Lieutenant General Kiriako muttered "What a troublesome thing!" and then continued to indulge in a state of intoxication.

With the help of Chiriaco, a friend of France, not only all the members of the assault brigade (including 18 artillery pieces) climbed up smoothly, but an infantry brigade of the 2nd Division also changed its original plan and followed closely. Climb up the cliff.

Two brigades of 14,000 men advanced in the direction of Telegraph Hill under the command of Major General Boques.

The commander of the Minsk regiment who was stationed in the trench of Telegraph Hill saw the French troops marching towards them in a horizontal line in the distance. He was immediately frightened. He hurried to the residence of Lieutenant General Kiriako and transferred the sleeping Kiriako. Lieutenant General wakes up.

"Didn't I tell you! Wait a moment, wait a moment! Why don't you listen... If you think you are more capable than me, you can become my lieutenant general!" Kiriaco's expression changed from the previous one. His impatience turned to disgust, and his tone became rude.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, now is not the time to say dejected words!" The Minsk regiment leader hurriedly reported to Lieutenant General Chiriaco: "The French army is about to attack!"

Kiriaco suddenly sobered up a lot when he heard "French Army". He immediately asked his regimental commander: "Where did you hear about it!"

"Do you still need to hear about this?" Looking at the unattractive lieutenant general in front of him, the Minsk regiment commander was almost crying: "They are already approaching our position, it is expected..."

Before the leader of the Minsk regiment could finish speaking, a shell broke into the wooden house of Lieutenant General Kiriako.

"Be careful!" The Minsk regiment leader quickly grabbed Lieutenant General Kiriako's collar and fled the cabin.

The next second Kiriaco escaped from the cabin, a shell exploded inside the cabin, destroying the entire cabin.

"This..." Lieutenant General Chiriaco looked at the bombed-out wooden house in front of him with horror on his face.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, give the order quickly!" When he heard the voice of the leader of the Minsk regiment reached Kiriako's ears, Kiriako reacted and nodded quickly and ordered the leader of the Minsk regiment to reason. .

After the leader of the Minsk regiment left, the deputy commander of the Moscow regiment, covered in blood, appeared in front of Kiriako and reported to Kiriako the situation of the Moscow regiment.

The current Moscow regiment is having a very difficult time without a regiment leader (the deputy regiment leader is careful). Their muskets do not have the range of the opponent's French army rifles, so that they cannot hit the opponent, but the opponent can hit them.

Moreover, the French army on the opposite side also has powerful artillery. Now their entire regiment of more than 3,000 people is being suppressed and beaten by the French Empire on the opposite side. Many soldiers do not dare to show their heads out of the trenches at all.

[PS: The establishment of the Russian Empire is amazing. There are more than 6,000 dissatisfied divisions, and there are also reinforced regiments that far exceed the establishment]

"Now you are the commander of the Moscow Regiment. You must lead your team to stay on the front line! As for artillery... as for artillery..." Lieutenant General Kiriako pondered for a moment and then said: "As for artillery, I will Apply to Prince Menshikov immediately! Remember to hold on, there will be a way if you persist!"

After the quasi-regiment commander in Moscow left, Lieutenant General Kiriako ran in front of the Kiev Hussars and ordered the Kiev Hussars to launch an attack on the flank of France in an effort to disrupt the deployment of the French Imperial Army. At the same time, he sent a part of the hussars to serve as messengers. The soldiers asked Prince Menshikov of the Kurgan Mountains for help.

The Kiev hussars got on their horses under the leadership of their regiment commanders. The vast majority of the cavalry rushed to the frontline battlefield, and a small number of cavalry went to the Kurgan Mountains to seek help.

Lieutenant General Kiriako, holding champagne, also rushed to the location of the Minsk regiment.

When Lieutenant General Kiriako came to the front line, the Moscow regiment, which was originally on the front line, was forced to abandon its position under the attack of the French Assault Brigade and squatted in the same trench with the Minsk regiment.

Nearly 6,000 Russian Imperial soldiers from two regiments were squatting in the same trench. The trench could only accommodate about 5,000 people, but now it accommodated nearly 6,000 (5,763) people. The scene seemed a bit chaotic.

Just as the Minsk Regiment and the Moscow Regiment were pushing and shoving for space in the trench, a group of Kiev Hussars of about 800-900 people entered from the flank.

The assault brigade, which did not expect that the Russian Empire would place cavalry on the heights of Telegraph Hill, had to change from a horizontal formation to a hollow square formation. The change in formation caused a small-scale chaos in the entire army.

Seeing this, the Kiev hussars hurriedly drove forward. He wanted to attack France before the assault brigade formed a hollow square formation.

After seeing this scene, Lieutenant General Kiriako in the trench quickly ordered the Minsk Regiment and the Moscow Regiment to launch an attack on the "French" camp.

"But!" The leader of the Minsk regiment hesitated. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"But what! Follow my orders to attack!" Lieutenant General Kiriaco sternly reprimanded his regimental commander.

The commander of the Minsk regiment and the associate commander of the Moscow regiment had no choice but to carry out Lieutenant General Kiriako's orders in accordance with the defense provided.

The leader of the Kiev Hussars, who was leading the cavalry charge forward, probably never imagined that the first wave of damage they suffered was not the opponents in front of them, but their teammates behind them.

The Moscow regiment and the Minsk regiment started shooting under the order of Lieutenant General Kiriako, but they mistakenly went in the wrong direction.

The Kiev hussars that had not yet rushed in front of the French army had already lost nearly 50 people in the first round of attacks by the Russian Empire. The leader of the Kiev side cavalry regiment also died among these two hundred people.
