Make France Great Again

The allied forces of Britain, France, Turkey, and the four countries stopped on the north bank of the Alma River, and then arranged themselves into 2-3 horizontal lines in company units. The distance between the horizontal lines was about 10 meters.

Looking from the Kurgan Mountain and Telegraph Mountain on the south bank of the Alma River to the north bank, you can clearly see an endless line of troops.

No matter how confident the soldiers were in the Russian Empire, they could not help but feel a sense of fear towards the more than 100,000 coalition troops on the south bank.

As for the generals of the Russian Empire, it is another view.

As the dual governor of Crimea and the Caucasus, Prince Menshikov's self-confidence has been strengthened like never before after experiencing a wave of sneak attacks. He believes that with more than 50,000 people at his disposal, he will be able to defend for several weeks!

As long as he can persist until His Majesty Nicholas I sends people to support, then he can work with the troops who come to support to form a double-team to form a double-team on the coalition forces, and ensure that these coalition forces know how powerful they are.

The generals under Prince Menshikov knew nothing about the armies of Britain, France, Turkey, and Russia. They confidently believed that as long as the coalition troops dared to approach them, the coalition troops would die.

The weak coalition forces will definitely not be an opponent of the great Russian Empire in bayonet competition. They only need to wait in the Kurgan Mountains to die as wave after wave of coalition troops come over.

In this way, the lower-level soldiers of the Russian Empire do not know the thoughts of the upper-level generals, and the upper-level generals also disdain to know the thoughts of the lower-level soldiers of the Russian Empire. Under the premise of separation between top and bottom, the Russian Empire is destined to face failure.

As for the coalition forces, the old General Pellissier, the commander-in-chief of France, quickly returned to a wooden house near the seaside behind the team after seeing (part of) the situation on the south bank of the Alma River through his telescope.

Entering the wooden house, the old General Pelissier saw the person in charge of the wooden house, Brigadier General Trochu. At this time, Brigadier General Trochu was leading a group of general staff staff to add some details to the map on the south bank of the Alma River. Pelissier The arrival of General Ye Lao caused Brigadier General Trochu to briefly stop the work at hand and salute General Pelissier: "Commander Pelissier!"

"Yes!" Pelissier nodded calmly, and then asked Trochu: "How is the redrawing of your map going?"

"Some parameters are missing!" Brigadier General Trochu responded to Pelissier.

"What parameters?" Pelissier asked Brigadier General Trochu.

"The military deployment of the Russian Empire and the location of artillery!" Brigadier General Trochu responded to Pelissier.

"What method are you going to use to get it! It's not easy for our army to get close to Alma! The enemy's artillery is always targeting us!" Pellissier responded to Brigadier General Trochu all the way.

"Commander, we don't need to get close!" Brigadier General Trochu responded to General Pellissier, "Please come with me!"

After speaking, Brigadier General Trochu left the wooden house, and Pellisier also left the wooden house with Brigadier General Trochu.

Under the guidance of Brigadier General Trochu, General Pellissier came to an open space where a colorful rag, a "brazier" and a basket large enough to seat two people were piled on the open space.

"This is..." General Pellissier asked General Trochu as he looked at the pile of rags in front of him.

"Commander, please wait a moment!" Brigadier General Trochu responded to General Pelissier, and then ordered the engineers in the open space to assemble all the scraps of metal in Pelissier's eyes.

Dozens of soldiers from the Paris Engineering University spent nearly an hour assembling the pile of "junk" together.

When the engineers ignited the fuel in the metal brazier, the rags bulged as if blessed by some kind of force.

"This is..." Pelissier looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

"Your Excellency Commander, this is a hot air balloon!" Brigadier General Trochu introduced the principle and use of hot air balloons to Pellissier.

After hearing Brigadier General Trochu's introduction, Pellissier couldn't help but sigh: "What a great invention! Who invented this thing?"

"The person who invented it had already died in the time of poor King Louis XVI!" Brigadier General Trochu responded to General Pellissier with a shrug.

"Really! Why didn't anyone think of using this method for investigation before!" Pelissier complained in a low voice.

"Because it's easy to make this thing float, but it's very difficult to make it come down! If it doesn't go well, people will die!" Brigadier General Trochu replied to Pelissier.

It was precisely because of the uncertainty of manned hot air balloons that this technology came to a complete standstill after Louis XVI.

"Human life? The most indispensable thing in the army is human life!" Pellissier replied to Brigadier General Trochu with an indifferent expression, and then looked at the gadget in front of him with obsession: "This thing can help us. It’s so big that we won’t hesitate to lose even one company!”

Subsequently, Pellissier gave Brigadier General Trochu the order to take off, and the manned hot air balloon carrying the staff flew into the sky.

In order to prevent the hot air balloon from being affected by the wind and flying into the Russian Empire's camp, Brigadier General Trochu specially installed a rope in the basket of the hot air balloon. People on the ground could control the balloon through the rope to prevent the balloon from flying out. beyond the control of the coalition forces.

The manned hot air balloon slowly took off, and soon reached a height of more than 600 meters above the ground. The staff on the balloon used binoculars to watch the Russian Imperial Army on the south bank of the Alma River, and at the same time marked the position of the Russian Imperial Army in Alma. The position of the soldiers on the south bank of the river.

When the soldiers on the south bank of the Alma River saw the hot-air balloon, they couldn't help shouting in shock: "Oh! My God! Look what that is!"

When the first Russian Imperial soldier discovered the staff on the manned balloon, he immediately told the soldiers around him, and then the news spread to ten and ten, and soldiers on Kurgan Mountain and Telegraph Mountain all discovered the manned balloon. , many soldiers tried to use muskets to knock down the manned balloons, but found that they could not reach the staff on the manned balloons.

Although Prince Menshikov knew that the guys floating in the sky were probably going to tell the coalition forces on the ground about their troop deployment, Prince Menshikov had no choice at all. His troops could not carry out large-scale operations at the moment. Any transfer may be a precursor to collapse.

Another twenty minutes passed, and all the deployment of Alma was recorded. The staff quietly waited for the whereabouts of the hot air balloon.

The flames on the brazier weakened over time, and the manned hot air balloon gradually lowered.

Twenty-five minutes later, the gondola slowly fell to the ground. Commander Pellissier and Brigadier General Trochu applauded the warrior in front of them at the same time.

The staff officer showed a shy smile, and then handed over the Alma deployment he recorded in the sky to Brigadier General Trochu.

Commander Pellissier and Brigadier General Trochu returned to the cabin again. Brigadier General Trochu lowered the deployment situation on the other side of the Alma River to the other staff officers in the cabin.

The staff officers responsible for the Crimean peninsula began to move and added troops to the map drawn.

After Commander Pelissier waited quietly for nearly an hour, the Expeditionary Force Commander and Staff finally placed the drawing of the Alma River in front of Pelissier.

Brigadier General Trochu made suggestions to Pelissier: "In view of the serious shortage of Russian Imperial Army troops in the Telegraph Hill area, our suggestion is to use part of the troops to attack Akulgan Mountain and create an all-out attack. The posture of the Kurgan Mountain firmly anchored Menshikov's soldiers deployed on the Kurgan Mountain, and then transferred some soldiers to form a pincer offensive from the left and right wings..."

"Well said!" Pellissier praised Brigadier General Trochu with great enthusiasm.

Then he returned to the frontline troops with the plan provided by Brigadier General Trochu.

At this time, the Russian Empire's army and the British army on the Kurgan Mountain had already begun fighting. The Russian Empire's nearly one hundred heavy artillery pieces (some of which were dismantled from naval guns) began to launch a fierce attack in the direction of Britain. The British Kingdom was also not to be outdone. The 6-pounder gun in hand launched an attack on the Russian Imperial Army.

After both sides fired nearly a thousand shells back and forth, more than a hundred people were killed in the Russian Empire, while the total number of casualties in the British Kingdom was only about seventy or eighty.

Artillery has gradually become a deterrent weapon in wars. Fewer and fewer soldiers are dying from artillery, while more and more soldiers are dying from rifles.

After an exchange of artillery greetings, the British Kingdom began to attack.

The British Kingdom, which was lined up in three lines, was still advancing towards the Kurgan Mountains of the Russian Empire with rigid tactics. The Russian Empire soldiers in the trenches and bastions around the Kurgan saw the British Kingdom soldiers walking and setting up planks on the river. At that time, they tried to pull the trigger.

It is a pity that the muskets at a distance of three hundred yards have no way of hitting the British Army. On the contrary, the British Kingdom who crossed the Alma River can use the Miner gun in their hands to attack the Russian Imperial soldiers on the Kurgan Mountain.

After a round of shooting, the firepower of the Russian Empire soldiers was suppressed by the British Kingdom.

The soldiers of the Russian Empire had no choice but to seek help from the artillery. This time the artillery finally did not have the stroke method during cross-fire, and fired solid shells towards the foot of the Kurgan Mountain.

One after another, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Britain were killed by solid cannonballs. After seeing this scene, Commander Raglan quickly ordered his men to withdraw their troops in exchange for gold.

The British soldiers who had crossed the Alma retreated like a tide.
