Chapter 489： On meritorious deeds

The retreat of the Russian Imperial Army made the Turkish army in the Tabia Bastion heaved a sigh of relief.

Nearly two weeks of high-intensity operations have caused the Turkish soldiers in the bastion to suffer nearly 700-1,000 casualties every day.

Fort Tabia, which originally had more than 10,000 soldiers, had to seek assistance from the main city of the Silistra fortress a week after the war began.

If it wasn't for Omar Pasha's sufficient troops on hand, Tabia Bastion would have been captured by the locust-like Russian Empire soldiers long ago.

Today, most of the survivors who stick to Tabia Bastion are soldiers from the main city of Silistra.

The high number of casualties for the past few days made this bastion filled with a sullen aura. Every Turkish soldier's eyes were only numb, and the current Tabia Bastion is like a compressed to the limit. spring.

As long as Prince Paskevich could grit his teeth and hold on for a few days, the morale of Tabia Bastion would immediately risk collapsing.

It is a pity that Prince Paskevich's enthusiasm for capturing the castle has been exhausted by the Turkish soldiers in the city of Tabia.

In addition, after Gorchakov, the largest main battle faction, ran into a wall in the coalition camp, Prince Paskevich was even more convinced that what the Russian imperial army needed to do now was not to capture the castle.

The Tabia Bastion was barely kept under the influence of both its own efforts and external factors.

It can be said that the fortress of Silistra achieved a perfect ending with its tenacious will. If Musa Pasha "deliberately" sent thousands of Bashkozuk cavalry as soldiers of the Russian Empire when he returned to the north bank of the Danube in the Russian Empire...

In short, Musa Pasha, who had watched the Russian Empire move towards the north bank of the Danube River, was reminded by Captain Barrett, and hurriedly brought the good news to the Silistra Fortress with Captain Barrett and Captain Nesmith.

When Musa Pasha and others arrived at the temporary residence of Omar Pasha in the Silistra fortress, they found that the commanders of the two bastions next to the Tabia Bastion were also here. Obviously, they were also asking for Omar Pasha. Malpasha reports on the Russian Imperial Army.

After the three Pashas looked at each other, they all saw the meaning of tit-for-tat in each other's eyes.

After a while, the door of Omar Pasha's residence opened, and a little boy with a pretty face appeared in front of the three Pashas and said in Greek, "Omar Pasha is now having a banquet. Colonel Rach, you come with me!"

After that, the little boy entered the residence, followed by the three Pashas, ​​Barrett, and Nesmith.

Under the guidance of the suspected male favorite of Omar Pasha, the three Pashas entered a restaurant with Barrett and Nesmith.

The overall style of the restaurant presents the Rococo style of the last century, showing a sense of grace and luxury everywhere.

More than a dozen candles are placed on the luxurious crystal chandelier, and each candle emits an orange-yellow light, illuminating the entire room.

Just below the crystal chandelier is a long table about 3 meters long. At one end of the long table sits Omar Pasha, the commander-in-chief of the Silistra fortress, and sitting on his right is a man. A pure Germanic German with blond hair and blue eyes, he is the head of the fortresses of Ruse and Silistra - Colonel Rach of the Kingdom of Prussia,

At this time, Omar Pasha and Colonel Rach raised the wine in the glass to drink freely. The arrival of the three Pashas and the two captains made Omar Pasha put down the wine glass in his hand and took the napkin on the table to wipe it. After wiping the corners of his mouth, he stretched out his hand and invited, "I know what you want to say! Sit down!"

The three Pashas and the two captains sat at the dining table, Omar Pasha clapped his hands gently, and the servants stationed outside the dining room appeared and asked Omar Pasha what else he needed.

Omar Pasha told the servants to prepare five more meals of the same style.

The servant was ordered to leave, and after about ten minutes, the cart appeared in front of everyone, and the servant who followed the cart brought the covered meal on the cart to Musa Pasha and others. opened in front of the people, and then poured wine into each of their glasses.

After the minions left the dining room, Omar Pasha raised his glass to suggest to everyone present that they should toast this hard-earned victory.

After two weeks of sleeplessness, everyone agreed with Omar Pasha's proposal.

"Cheers to Her Majesty! (Captain Barrett, Captain Nesmith

"Cheers to His Majesty the King! (Colonel Rach

"Cheers to His Majesty the Sultan! (Omar, Musa, etc.

After expressing their blessings for the monarch to which they belonged, everyone present drank the red wine in their glasses.

Afterwards, Omar Pasha raised his glass again to pay his respects to Colonel Rah.

Omar Pasha, with a slightly ruddy face, said: If Colonel Rach had not transformed the Silistra fortress, their troops would definitely not have been able to defeat the Russian Imperial Army.

Colonel Lah said humbly: This is all due to the lives of the Turkish soldiers in the bastion. The bastion is always just a tool to help people resist the attack, and the more important people depend on the credit of the Turkish soldiers.

"I saw the whole process of a great country united against the Russian Empire! Egyptians, Albanians, Tunisians, they worked together for this country without distinction! I hope that one day we Germans will be able to unite in the same way as you. Together!" Colonel Rach said with emotion.

"I believe this day will come eventually!" Omar Pasha, a betrayer of the Austrian Empire, did not understand the German plot held by Colonel Lach, but it did not prevent him from continuing with Colonel Lach's words.

"Hey! I hope so!" Colonel Rach sighed and drank the red wine from the glass.

Omar Pasha, like Colonel Rach, drank the red wine from the glass, and then drank another glass for himself and Colonel Rah.

This time, Omar Pasha raised his glass and aimed at Musa Pasha and the two captains. Omar Pasha said: If it weren't for their efforts, the Tabia Bastion and even the Silistra fortress would have fallen. It was a toast he toasted on behalf of the entire population of Silistra to the soldiers who fought valiantly against the Russian Empire in the Tabia Bastion.

Musa Pasha showed a flattered expression, while Captain Barrett and Captain Nesmith raised their glasses indifferently.

After the second glass was over, Omar Pasha poured a third glass of wine.

The two pashas in the two bastions next to Tabia's Bastion drank with Omar Pasha.

After three glasses of wine, Omar Pasha once again assured them that they would report to His Majesty the Sultan one by one about their fight against the invasion of the Russian Empire in the Silistra fortress group.

At that time, His Majesty the Sultan will definitely reward them.

Everyone except Colonel Lahe showed a happy smile, but Colonel Lahe showed a thoughtful expression.

"Colonel Rach, what's wrong with you?" Omar Pasha looked at Colonel Rach with a puzzled look and asked.

Hearing Omar Pasha's call, Colonel Rach came back to his senses and said apologetically to Omar Pasha: "That's right! Your Excellency Commander, I was just thinking about what caused the Russian Imperial Army to hurry up. Leave!"

After being reminded by Colonel Rah, Omar Pasha suddenly realized the problem.

Yes! Why did the Russian Empire choose to leave so soon! Could it be that there has been a major change on the north bank of the Danube?

After thinking hard for a moment, Omar Pasha gave up thinking, he didn't care why the Russian Imperial Army was retreating.

As long as the Russian Empire does not provoke the Silistra Fortress again, then Omar Pasha is unwilling to care what the next move of the Russian Empire army is.

Thinking of this, Omar Pasha's thoughts suddenly became open-minded, and with a smile, he told Colonel Rah that he didn't need to care so much.

Colonel Rah, who was a temporary adviser to Omar Pasha, simply gave up thinking.

He's just a consultant anyway!

The banquet lasted for nearly an hour and a half, and everyone who had eaten and drank simply slept in Omar Pasha's residence.

In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, the Turkish defenders on the Tabia bastion found a cavalry unit in the distance, and they hurriedly blew bugles and shouted to Tabia Lem, who was still sleeping. Fort defender.

Under the call of the bugle, the Tabia Fort soldiers who had fought fiercely for most of the night, reluctantly got up from the ground and walked to the bastion.

When the reconnaissance cavalry unit arrived near the bastion, the defenders of Tabia bastion did not realize that the reconnaissance cavalry was the Bashkozuk cavalry.

They put down their vigilance and asked about the origin of the Bashpozuk cavalry. The Bashpozuk cavalry told the defenders on the Tabia Bastion that they were cavalry from Constantinople and were now a major general in France. Under the leadership of Conrobel, he helped the defenders of the Silistra fortress Hearing the answer of the Bashi Pozuk cavalry troops, the defenders of the Tabia Bastion hurriedly told him that they were late. , the Russian Imperial Army has withdrawn to the north bank of the Danube in the early hours of this morning.

The Bashpozuk cavalry below also told the defenders on the Tabia Bastion that their troops had arrived near the Silistra fortress two days ago, and had placed a large number of Russian imperial troops yesterday, And also killed their commander.

After saying this, the Bashpozuk cavalry turned and left on horseback.

After about half an hour, the defenders of the Tabia Bastion saw the Bashpozuk cavalry again.

In the rear of the Bashpozuk cavalry, there is a large-scale army force.
