Chapter 652： war ended

"Ulla! Long live the Russian Empire! Long live His Majesty the Tsar!"

"Long live the French Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Long live Britain! Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

The three-way fight between Britain, France and Russia officially started at around 6:20 in the afternoon.

At this moment, there is only a red sunset in the sky of the Sevastopol fortress, as if it is putting a red skirt on the evening sky.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Zhuav Regiment and the Highland Brigade no longer worried about any casualties, and they rushed forward as if going crazy.

The Russian troops in the trench also tried their best to stop them. The attackers and the defenders fought with all their might, like two ferocious beasts biting each other. The sound of gunshots, metal collisions, and screams resounded throughout the entire position. On average, dozens of soldiers die every minute.

About 20 minutes later, the sky was completely dark, and the fighting still did not stop, but the three armies fighting in the position could only see the outlines of each other now.

Gradually, the Russian imperial army in the dark began to fall into the disadvantage, and the Russians continued to retreat back in the dark.

The Russian officers in the dark had no way to do this at all. Under the influence of the Russian imperial soldiers who fled the position, the Russian soldiers stationed behind the position also retreated with them. (The actual number of combatants is only about 6000)

It didn't take long for the Imperial Russian troops on the ground to be thrown into chaos.

"Your Excellency Commander, let's withdraw! We can't hold it here!" Pavlov's subordinate officers pleaded with Pavlov: "If we continue to defend, I'm afraid we will all become their prisoners!"

"Damn!" Pavlov gritted his teeth and slapped the wall fiercely, complaining: "Why haven't the troops in Bakhchisarai come yet! If they could have come earlier, we would have Already in Sevastopol!"

It has been nearly 5 hours since the Russian Empire occupied the position, and the officers he dispatched to Bakhchisarai to seek assistance also returned for nearly 2 hours, but he didn't see a single reinforcement.

This made Pavlov wonder if they were abandoned by Bakhchisaray, otherwise, why would there be no reinforcements!

"Your Majesty, don't talk about this time now! Please give an order!" Pavlov's staff continued to dissuade Pavlov.

After thinking for a moment, Pavlov gritted his teeth and issued an order: "Order all units to retreat in sequence, and at the same time require officers at all levels to restrain their soldiers! Never turn a retreat into a rout!"

"Yes!" The staff hurriedly saluted Pavlov and left.

Afterwards, Pavlov called the adjutant he had dispatched to Bakhchisarai and asked him again what was going on in the Bakhchisarai area, and why there had been no support for so long!

The adjutant also shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Forget it!" Commander Pavlov sighed, and then ordered his adjutants to bring the captured Duke of Cambridge.

After the adjutant heard the order, he also turned and left.

After a while, the adjutant and two Russian soldiers "escorted" the Duke of Cambridge to Pavlov.

"His Royal Highness! (The title of the duke can be called Your Highness or Your Excellency the Duke! Major General Pavlov politely bowed to the Duke of Cambridge and saluted.

"Humph!" The Duke of Cambridge snorted coldly, posing an arrogant gesture.

Facing the arrogance of the Duke of Cambridge, Pavlov was not angry, he still responded with a smile: "His Royal Highness, our army is defeated, so you can go back! Not only you, but your subordinates and guards The division's flag can also be returned to the army!"

"Oh?" The Duke of Cambridge gave Pavlov a suspicious look and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"His Royal Highness, I don't want you to do anything! Just let you go back!" Pavlov still said to the Duke of Cambridge with a smile.

"You guys are so kind?" The Duke of Cambridge still didn't believe Pavlov's words.

"His Royal Highness, we Slavs have always been a warmhearted nation!" Pavlov spread his hands and responded sincerely to the Duke of Cambridge: "It's just that our two countries have to fight each other because of some misunderstanding! On the battlefield , we are enemies of life and death. Now it is no longer a battlefield, and our two identities make me still respect you. You are a real noble!"

Pavlov's answer made the Duke of Cambridge feel refreshed from the inside out, and his face towards Pavlov was no longer the same as before.

"To be honest, if it weren't for the sudden collapse of Turkey, you would never have been caught by us, Your Highness!" Pavlov then said to the Duke of Cambridge, and then bowed to the Duke of Cambridge again: "I hope next time we two The army can fight with dignity! Just like the ancient knights, please forgive me for offending you!"

"General Pavlov, you are a person who is good at seizing opportunities!" The Duke of Cambridge also affirmed Pavlov, "I am also very much looking forward to the next contest!"

After the Duke of Cambridge was sent away from the interim commander by General Pavlov, the adjutant standing beside Pavlov asked General Pavlov why he let the Duke of Cambridge leave so easily.

"Do you want us to take the Duke of Cambridge with us? Or do we kill the Duke of Cambridge directly?" Pavlov asked the adjutant beside him.

"Of course..." The adjutant opened his mouth and was speechless.

Whether you take the Duke of Cambridge with you, or shoot the Duke of Cambridge directly, you have to take certain risks.

If he takes the Duke of Cambridge with him, he is bound to ensure the safety of the Duke of Cambridge, so he must allocate a part of his limited force to protect the Duke of Cambridge, and this action will undoubtedly bring him a lot of trouble.

Killing the Duke of Cambridge is even more deadly. Nobles can die on the battlefield, but they will never die outside the battlefield. The current Duke of Cambridge is equivalent to having left the battlefield. Pavlov shot him, in addition to causing the Kingdom of Britain There is nothing to gain from the wrath of Emperor Nicholas I.

On the contrary, he himself will get into more trouble, and he will be shot by Nicholas I.

Since it could not be taken away or shot, Pavlov could only release the Duke of Cambridge in the wild.

"I actually have an advantage in releasing the Duke of Cambridge!" Pavlov continued.

"What's the benefit?" the adjutant asked curiously.

"In a while, when we are retreating, the British army will definitely stop pursuing in the face of the Duke of Cambridge!" Pavlov responded confidently to the adjutant.

"Is Marshal Raglan really not going to chase? I remember a few hours ago, when you sent people to negotiate..." The adjutant didn't believe what Pavlov said.

"This time and the other!" Pavlov showed a meaningful smile. He patted the adjutant's shoulder and said, "Just watch it carefully!"

…

The Duke of Cambridge and his only remaining subordinates carried the Guards Division's flag. After walking down from the position, they soon arrived at the position of Marshal Raglan under the **** of soldiers!

"Your Excellency Marshal, His Highness is back!"

"Who?"

"His Excellency the Duke of Cambridge!"

"Let him in!"

After the Duke of Cambridge entered the room, he saluted Marshal Raglan and Marshal Reno respectively, and thanked Marshal Reno.

Omar Pasha stood on the spot with an embarrassed look on his face. He understood that the reason why the Duke of Cambridge ignored him was because the Turkish army under his command had dug the Duke of Cambridge on the ground, which led to the arrest of the Duke of Cambridge.

"Why did Pavlov let you come back!" Marshal Raglan immediately asked the Duke of Cambridge in a stern tone: "Did you agree to any of his conditions!"

"Report to the Marshal, I didn't promise him any conditions!" The Duke of Cambridge responded firmly to Marshal Raglan: "And Pavlov himself did not put forward any conditions either!"

"That's good! That's good!" Marshal Raglan breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that the Duke of Cambridge agreed to Pavlov's request.

Once the Duke of Cambridge agrees to Pavlov's request, his career in the army may be completely over.

Although the journalists in the British army were restricted by Marshal Raglan under the name of Jerome Bonaparte, it did not mean that they could not do anything.

If the Duke of Cambridge really has any transaction with Pavlov, then the transaction will inevitably be found out, and the Duke of Cambridge will also be surrounded by public opinion.

At that time, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert could not give any help to the Duke of Cambridge, and the Duke of Cambridge had and only quit the army.

"Pavlov is selling us a face!" Marshal Raglan responded softly.

"Then we..." The Duke of Cambridge asked.

"We just need to retake the position!" Marshal Raglan said, looking at Marshal Reynio.

Marshal Reynold nodded slightly to express his agreement with Marshal Raglan.

At 8 pm, UU reading www.uukanshu. com The British and French troops were completely in position.

Pavlov's Russian troops had long since fled and were stationed near the Kacha River.

After the battle for positions was over, Britain and France counted the casualties. The French casualties were 1,100, and the British kingdom's casualties were 1,630.

The Russian army in the Kacha River also counted its own casualties. The number of casualties was 3,209, and the number of missing was 4,235. A total of 7,444 people, equivalent to one-fifth of the entire force.

In the direction of Inkerman Mountain, a large-scale encirclement and annihilation battle also came to an end.

Nearly 60,000 Russian imperial troops were destroyed by the combined attack of Conrobel, Boske, and Trosh, and Soinov and his adjutant died on the spot.

According to later statistics, the Russian army lost about 40,000 soldiers on Mount Inkerman, and only less than 20,000 Russian soldiers broke through the siege.
