Battle of Slavic Hill

The Battle of Slavic Hill was fought between Dezarussiya and the Russian Empire from January 8th to January 26th 1856, during the nearing end of the 3rd Russo-Dezarussian War (1855-1856). The battle resulted in the almost destruction of the 2nd Russian Army and is regarded as one of the greatest battles in history. However despite the monumental victory on Slavic Hill the Dezarussians signed the Treaty of Dezarus (1856) just one month later in February 23rd 1856. The battle is notable for the Dezarussians winning being outnumbered 6:1 and the strategic placement and use of soldiers and artillery pieces by Sergei Kalsovsky. The battle also brought high prestige to General Sergei Kalsovsky who would later reform the Dezarussian Army.

The battle took place near the town of Vidra just 64 Kilometers east of Dezarus but the battle was renamed to Slavic Hill after the Hill that helped the Dezarussians win the battle, a common misconception is mixing the meaning of Slavic with the culture, though the Dezarussians mean't it as glory a dual meaning to Slavic hence really meaning Battle of Glory Hill.

Background
The Dezarussian Army was falling back heavily by the end of 1855 and start of 1856, and the Russians were nearing critical control points and the 2nd Russian Army was nearing the city of Dezarus. King Valentin Kyroslav ordered to Sergei Kalsovsky and the other Dezarussian Generals that "Dezarus must not fall in the hands of the Russians at ALL COSTS". Sergei Kalsovsky knowing that his army of 26,000 men would not stand a chance against the 2nd Russian Army dug into Slavic Hill on December 26th 1855 knowing that the Russians would be coming their way. But even that would not work so he got in an argument with Valentin Kyroslav for Artillery Pieces, Valentin felt it neccesary that in the case if Sergei Kalsovsky was beaten the Artillery Pieces would be needed to defend Dezarus but in the end gave him the 342 Artillery Guns to defend Slavic Hill.

Prelude:8-10 January
Alexander Baburin's army heading straight for the city crossed paths with Kalsovsky's 4th Army on January 8th being taken surprise by heavy artillery fire and the dug in Dezarussian Soldiers.

Early phases of battle: 11-21th January
On the 11th of January Kalsovsky's troops moved into their positions on the kill and heavily entrenched themselves taking full advantage of the strategic position. Given permission from the king, on the 16th of January more reinforcements arrived which were formerly supposed to guard the city of Dezarus only, they came with all 342 guns.
