Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 734

“Struggle in Tsarist Russia (

The doubts in Edward’s heart did not lessen as the screams of killing around him gradually ceased, but instead became heavier.

If it was just a mutiny, the movement would be too loud, and he had observed that the screams of killing were pressing from all around to the middle. This shows that the location of the initial turmoil is the periphery, but as far as he knows, there are no talents in the periphery.

“Something’s wrong!” Edward raised his vigilance and ordered: “Load the gun and take off the cannon jacket, it may be an enemy attack!”

In fact, when he said this, he was still somewhat disbelieving, because it was really too bizarre, and only the Russians could attack them, but there were no Russians in the surrounding one or two hundred kilometers. Are these **** enemies flying over with wings?

He thought it was more likely that the bandit attacked. After all, the goods they escorted were still very valuable. What if any uninitiated bandit was blinded by lard and took the risk?

However, he felt that if it was a bandit, it was a bit too exaggerated. Judging from the shouting and killing, there were a lot of bandits!

But no matter who the enemy is, Edward feels that it is always right to be ready for battle. He feels that even if all the artillerymen are on his side, it does not mean that they can only shoot artillery. Those rabble bandits are shit.

Edward is very confident, and even thinks that it is not bad to meet this group of bandits, just to take the opportunity to make a wave of achievements, maybe he will be promoted soon!

“The British have moved!” Vishniak reminded.

Naturally, Boris also saw it, and to be honest, he definitely didn’t like this situation. In the final analysis, the Bulgarians are too scumbags. They obviously have an absolute advantage, or sneak attacks, but after half an hour, they still haven’t solved the sparse group of Turks, which makes people speechless.

Boris quickly made a decision: “Let the third company go to support them, and the remaining first and second companies will come with me to meet the British!”

With the three companies joining the battlefield, the Bulgarians finally calmed down a little, and they no longer looked like flies in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Turks.

And the third company quickly told the Bulgarians with practical actions how far you are from the real fighters.

On the other side, the first and second companies led by Boris personally also caught fire with the British. It is no wonder that Edward had the confidence. The performance of this group of British artillerymen was indeed not bad. In the face of the attack, they did not mess up at all. They picked up their rifles and lined up neatly. The queues fought back in an orderly manner.

Don’t tell me, although Boris has a lot of people, he can’t help them for a while. However, Boris was not in a hurry, and immediately adjusted his deployment, ordering a small number of troops to attack the weak flank of the British.

This time, Edward’s reaction couldn’t keep up. After all, he was an artilleryman and was used to being deployed in the rear. This kind of face-to-face contact battle was really the first time. And the firepower on Boris’s side is completely different from what he learned when he went to military school.

Edward is more accustomed to facing linear tactics in neat formations, and his cannonballs deal with dense formations in one shot. But Boris’s people were completely scattered, making the two artillery pieces he had just set up a bit like a cannon hitting mosquitoes.

The worst thing was not that he couldn’t hit the enemy, but that the scattered enemy firepower was not weak at all. The continuous rain of bullets knocked down his artillery, and in just a few rounds of shooting, he lost twenty or thirty people.

“Free fire! Suppress the enemy on the flank,” Edward shouted, brandishing his sword, “Hurry up and set up your artillery, get your grape bullets ready, hurry up! Hurry up!”

At this time, he no longer has the ease of being a young man, let alone making a contribution to his career. He just prayed for God’s blessing to quickly repel the enemy on the opposite side. If he can’t, he can send some people to reinforce him!

“Messenger!” Edward screamed loudly: “Go to the Turks and let them send someone to support us immediately. If we are finished, they will not think about it!”

Edward no longer despised the Turks in the slightest, and now he only prayed that these pagans would respond to their requests for help as soon as possible and send someone to help him!

The fierce battle continued, and Edward’s artillery was getting more and more unable to keep up, especially when Boris’s men surrounded them in all directions and pressed them firmly to the ground and rubbed them, it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.

The only thing that supported them to continue fighting was the reinforcements of the Turks. They believed that the Turks could not leave them alone. After all, they were honorable British allies, and the Turks would never dare to die.

The Turks really don’t dare to die, but the problem is that they can’t take care of themselves now, how can they spare the effort to pull the British brothers?

Soon Edward’s messenger ran back in dismay, and he reported in frustration: “Company commander, the situation on the Turks is even worse~www.mtlnovel.com~ They can’t stand it anymore, the enemy is not ordinary. A lot!”

Edward’s face was even darker than the bottom of the pot. He knew that he had misestimated the situation and that those who attacked them were by no means ordinary gangsters. These daring guys not only had excellent military skills, but also had good weapons and equipment. Bandit what is he? Bandit?

“damn it!”

Edward carefully observed the situation on the battlefield, and the screams of killing around him became weaker and weaker, which indicated that the Turks were probably almost finished.

Once these “gangsters” get rid of the Turks, they will definitely encircle him with all their strength, and he is just an artillery company commander with only 12-pounder guns and more than 100 brothers. !

“Must break out!”

Edward immediately made a judgment, and immediately ordered: “Let’s make the second lieutenant Howard behind, and the remaining people will start breaking through with me!”

In fact, Edward really thought too much, it was impossible to break through, because Vishniak and Boris could not let go of an Englishman from the beginning. Maybe the Turks ran away and they just chased after them symbolically, but if the British wanted to run, even if they chased to the ends of the earth, they couldn’t let it go.

“I don’t want English prisoners,” Vishniak said to Lazette. “The one who told you had better not be merciful!”

Lazette changed his face, because according to the tradition of the nobles, killing prisoners was indeed a bit inhumane. And he didn’t want to offend the British with death. However, he also knows that what he is doing now is enough to make the British angry at him. Therefore, from a safety point of view, cutting weeds and rooting is very necessary.

Lazette replied immediately: “No problem, I will inform the earl, and I will never let any Englishman go! Keep it safe so that there will be no future troubles!”
