Chapter 487： Collapsed 1st Division

When Deputy Commander Gorchakov led the Cossack regiment of General Scherder to the vicinity of the French camp.

The scene in front of them made them furious. The 1st Division of the Polish Legion of nearly 10,000 people was chased and killed by Bashpozuk cavalry with only a few hundred people, but they were unwilling to turn around and fight back.

The sharp saber waving in the air with an icy glow, slashed towards the back of the neck of the Russian soldier who had his back turned to them.

There was a scream of the Russian Empire soldiers everywhere on the battlefield where the defeat was like a mountain. Pieces of bright red blood spilled on the ground, making the soil also stained with a bit of blood.

Seeing the soldiers of the Russian Empire who were slaughtered like chickens in front of him, Deputy Commander Gorchakov felt an unprecedented anger and humiliation.

Once upon a time, their troops were reduced to the point where they dared not turn around and compete with the Turkish army.

"Where is Brigadier General Orlov?" Deputy Commander Gorchakov, who was riding on a horse, rattled his teeth, as if he vowed to eat Brigadier General Orlov alive.

Seeing Deputy Commander Gorchakov's expression like this, General Scherder knew that Brigadier General Orlov would inevitably be punished. He thought that he was just following the whim of Deputy Commander Gorchakov, who went to the front line to check the progress of Brigadier General Orlov Jr., he never thought that the Jr. Orlov quasi-fund would give him such a "gift".

After this battle, Brigadier General Orlov Jr. may no longer be able to take on the task of tackling the fortress, and he will inevitably complete this task in place of Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

Thinking of this, General Scherder inevitably felt a little bit of joy in his heart. He pretended to look around with the binoculars, and then pretended to be Deputy Commander Gorchakov and responded: "Deputy Commander, there seems to be no little Orlov on the battlefield. The trail of the Brigadier General! Could he have left the battlefield!"

"I don't care where he is now! He must be responsible for this defeat!" Deputy Commander Gorchakov was about to roar, and then he said murderously to General Scherder next to him: " General Scherder, I order you to quickly lead the Cossacks to support! Be sure to annihilate this damned Bashpozuk cavalry!"

"Yes!" General Scherder responded with a serious expression, and then led a thousand-strong Cossack cavalry to bypass the Russian army and enter the battlefield from the flank.

The vigorous Bashpozuk cavalry saw a large number of Cossack cavalry rushing towards them. Incarnate as a "flying general" and turn the horse's head to leave the battlefield.

A small number of overbearing Bashpozuk cavalry still recklessly slashed and killed the demoralized Russian Empire soldiers, and even more attacked the Cossack regiments.

Of course, the Bashpozuk cavalry that these berserkers had in their heads had a particularly tragic ending.

The Cossack cavalry slaughtered the remaining Bashpozuk cavalry in just one round, and then pursued the fleeing Bashpozuk cavalry under the orders of General Scherder.

The eyes of every Cossack cavalry contained the flame of vengeance. Although they did not know the 1st Division of the Polish Legion themselves, they knew that the slaughtered Paozers were their comrades-in-arms who could entrust their lives in times of danger. They absolutely cannot let go of the guys who wantonly slaughter their comrades.

Under the fanatical pursuit of the Cossack legion, a small number of Baszpozuk cavalry units were gradually overtaken by the Cossack cavalry.

These Bashpozuk cavalrymen, who were about to be caught up, were also decisive guys. They knew that they could not escape, and turned to fight for the possibility of survival for their companions.

Their speed began to decrease consciously, and the Cossack cavalry units following them also realized their next movements, and General Scherder issued an order to divide the troops.

A part of the Cossack cavalry units moved to the left and right, trying to bypass this group of Bashpozuk cavalry and continue to pursue, led by Fatima Khanum.

The remaining large troop followed the Bashpozuk cavalry to reduce their speed, and the two stopped at a distance of less than 30 meters.

One of them was the Bashpozuk cavalry with only about 100 people, and its fighting ability was erratic. On the other side is the long-established cavalry unit, numbering around 500.

Under such a huge disparity in strength, there is no suspense at all.

Looking at this group of Bashpozuk cavalry in various coats and uniform white headscarves, General Scherder said to them in Turkic language, "Throw to avoid death".

In the face of General Scherder's persuasion to surrender, the Bashpozuk cavalry did not speak, but raised their saber to show their attitude.

The saber was particularly dazzling in the setting sun behind Bashpozuk. Seeing that General Scherder, who was unable to persuade surrender, sighed slightly, he decided to send the Bashpozuk cavalry back to their masters in the most gentlemanly way. - God's embrace.

Scherder also drew out his saber, and the Cossack cavalry followed General Scherder to draw out the saber. The setting sun shone on the faces of the Cossack cavalry, making every Cossack cavalry look extraordinarily solemn.

"kill!"

Following an order from General Scherder, the Cossacks charged the Bashpozuk cavalry.

The Bashpozuk cavalry also rushed towards the Cossack cavalry, and the battle began beside the bushes on the outskirts of the Silistra fortress.

One Bashpozuk cavalry was cut to the ground by the Cossack cavalry. After a round, there were only less than 30 Bashpozuk cavalry left, and the Cossacks also paid the price of 30 people.

After a little breath, the two sides started the second round of battle again. This time the remaining Bashpozuk cavalry were all beheaded by the Cossack cavalry, and the blood lay down along the body of the Bashpozuk cavalry. On slightly dry land.

Looking at the group of Bashpozuk cavalry who fell to the ground and died in front of him, Scherder showed a touch of respect on his face.

Although they and this group of Bashpozuk cavalry are life and death enemies on the battlefield, but aside from the hostile relationship between the two countries, he still respects those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country.

This reminded him of himself at the beginning. The original Scherderdel joined the Russian Imperial Army under the slogan of defending the country and defeated Napoleon with the Russian Empire.

Just over 40 years later, he was about to fight another Napoleon.

It's just that this time they didn't have the blood to defend their homeland and fight against aggression.

Thinking of this, Scherder could not help sighing for the current Russian Empire.

He didn't understand that in the past 40 years, the Russian Imperial Army has become what it is now.

Who is it that caused the Russian Empire to become what it is now?

Was it really the Tsar who caused everything facing the Russian Empire, as the Decembrists say?

Schrnyder was terrified of the thought of disrespect, and shook his head desperately to banish it.

Just when General Scherder was distracted, the Cossack cavalry who had been chasing Fatima Hanum turned back.

General Scherder asked the reason, and the Cossack cavalry told him that, unfamiliar with the terrain, they had lost Fatima Hanum and others.

"Hey! It's not your fault!" General Scherder sighed and ordered the Cossacks to return to the camp of the 1st Division.

When General Scherder led the Cossacks back to the camp of the 1st Division, he saw Deputy Commander Gorchakov in the clearing of the camp.

The current Deputy Commander Gorchakov was standing there with a gloomy face, and General Scherder hurriedly dismounted and whispered to the soldiers in the camp what happened.

Soldiers in the camp whispered to Scherder that Deputy Commander Gorchakov was angry at the loss of the 1st Division.

When General Schirder asked where Brigadier General Orlov was now, the soldiers told Schirder sadly that Brigadier Orlov and the two brigade commanders had been killed by the coalition forces.

The weapons in the hands of the coalition troops had farther ranges than those in their hands, and Brigadier General Orlov Jr. was caught off guard and killed by a shot in the head.

Hearing the soldier's answer, Scherder couldn't help but gasped, and the schadenfreude of Brigadier General Orlov Jr. turned into sadness.

If it is said that the general responsible for the attack this time is him, I am afraid that his ending is not much better than that of Brigadier General Orlov.

Because he himself prefers to be on the front line more than Commodore Orlov Jr.

"Okay! I get it!" General Scherder nodded to the soldiers.

After handing over the horse to the soldiers, General Scherder came to Gorchakov's deputy commander and reported their results to Gorchakov.

Gorchakov barely smiled when he heard that General Scherder had slaughtered Bashpozuk's cavalry, and encouraged General Scherder to make persistent efforts.

General Scherder pretended to inadvertently asked Brigadier General Orlov Jr. Gorchakov told General Scherder of the death of Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

"Oh! It's so unfortunate! Brigadier General Orlov is so young..." Scherder said to Deputy Commander Gorchakov with a sad expression.

"It's not the worst..." Deputy Commander Gorchakov told Scherder again that just when he counted the number of troops, he found that the Russian Empire had suffered about 5,000 casualties on the first day.

To make matters worse, the casualty rate of officers is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

"I bet! Those guys on the opposite side must be deliberately destroying our commanding staff!" Deputy Commander Gorchakov responded to General Scherder in a dull tone: "The current number one The teacher is about to become an arrogant teacher!"

The combat effectiveness of any army will inevitably decline without sufficient and experienced officers. The combat effectiveness of the First Division of the Polish Legion, which has lost a large number of middle and low-level Luo officers, cannot be expected to improve in a short period of time.

"Then shall we continue to attack?" General Scherder asked tentatively.

"Attack? What are we attacking now? The coalition forces have made it clear that they want to command the grassroots against us! Once they go to the battlefield, they will surely take care of them! And the muskets in our hands are compared with theirs, whether in terms of range or range. The accuracy is a lot worse, how are we going to attack?" Deputy Commander Gorchakov complained to himself, and then sighed to himself: "Withdraw the troops!"
