The scene before them filled them with rage. The First Division of the Polish Corps, nearly ten thousand strong, was being hunted by only a few hundred Bashbozuk Cavalry and refused to turn around to fight back.
The sharp sabers glinted with a cold light as they swung through the air, slashing toward the necks of the Russian soldiers who had their backs turned.
On the chaotic battlefield, the cries of the Russian Imperial soldiers echoed as the tide of battle turned against them. Red blood stained the ground, soaking the earth in its hue.
Watching the Russian Imperial soldiers being slaughtered like helpless chicks, Deputy Commander Gorchakov felt an unprecedented anger and humiliation.
There was a time when their forces would never have ended up unable to face the Turkish army head-on.
