Description
Richard Sharpe in the battle for the bridge at Almaraz, May 1812 If anyone can achieve the impossible, it is Richard Sharpe. It is the year 1812, and Richard Sharpe, one of the finest soldiers in the British Army, is sent on a secret mission to the small village of Almaraz in Spain, far behind enemy lines. At Almaraz, there is a bridge over the Tagus River, vital for the further development of the war, as it connects Marshal Soult's French army in the south with General Marmont's army in the north. Therefore, General Hill is tasked with preventing the two armies from joining forces and entrusts this dangerous mission to Captain Sharpe. The only thing standing in the way of the French is a small detachment of Sharpe's sharpshooters, who can rely only on their courage and the cleverness of their commander. However, they must act quickly, as the enemy is approaching and time is running out...
