C2655 Prisoners of war (1/2)
Night was about to fall at the western border, so the Prussian army's camp was already lit up with countless torches. Especially towards the southern border, the torches were very bright!
The Chinese infiltrating army of more than a thousand years had not received any news for a whole day. Only the observation posts of the individual positions had reported that there seemed to be a faint explosion in the distant jungle, like the explosion of a hand grenade.
Everyone knew that the Chinese must be fighting with the French cavalry, but they were not clear about the situation. Even Old Marshal Steinmetz was a little fidgety and asked the Head of the Guards if he needed the Prussian army's Rangers for support.
In the old marshal's mind, a group of infantrymen was still too small in numbers to contend with the maneuvering cavalry!
But he didn't expect Xiao Letian to casually say: ”If they can't keep this small scene in check, then they don't need to come back! To tell you the truth, the training cost of each of these soldiers is five times more than that of the Prussian soldier! ”
”The Chinese people used a lot of money to nurture them, so they have to use victory in return! ”Calm down …”
Xiao Letian focused more of his energy on the Military Maps in front of him, and his mind continued to analyze the changes in this battle.
”I know my soldiers. As long as they don't leave the forest, there won't be much danger. As long as they don't get into any danger …”
”The forest cover in Europe is really high. I remember very clearly that there were three huge nature reserves in the 21st century...”
”Lorraine Forest Park... Vosge Forest Reserve... What's the other one called? I can't remember the name, but the area it covers is also very large! ”
”To have such a high forest cover in the 21st century, you can think about it now! It is impossible for the French army to expand in the forest. They can only march along the main roads and hilly regions, and there are only a few places where they can fight! ”
”We will have to wait for news from the Strasbourg's side now, only if they succeed can we retaliate!”
Just then, a messenger ran out of the tent and reported it to the leader. Report to the Prime Minister! There has been some movement along the border. Some of the Chinese troops that went out to attack this morning have already returned! ”
”Oh? ”What's the situation like?” Without waiting for Xiao Letian to speak, Steinmetz asked anxiously.
”The details are unclear, because the main force did not return... What's back is their spoils of war! ”
”What?” ”Plunder...” The Old Marshal could no longer sit still. He and Xiao Letian walked out of the tent with big strides, and headed towards the border of the southern camp.
The night wind blew through the torchlight forest, letting out a whooshing sound. At the boundary between light and darkness, there were countless war horses and dejected French troops being escorted by a small number of Chinese SPECIAL SERVICES s.
Seeing that his friends had returned, the Prussian army army immediately dispatched troops to support them. Just as they accepted the captives from the ten war horses, other sounds came out from the darkness.
The entire defense line stretched from east to west for more than twenty kilometers, and the small-scale convoy of captives continued all the way until 9 pm. It was only then that the people realized that the Chinese had really succeeded, and that they had achieved a complete victory in the entire defense line.
The SPECIAL SERVICES in the distance did not enter the camp. They exchanged the prisoners of war with the Prussian army at the border. From afar, they saw the Head of State and several generals standing at the entrance of the camp.
The soldiers saluted the Head of the Guards and the other high-ranking officers silently, turned around and continued into the darkness. All of them were as silent as a Dark Elves.
”This is's captive …”
”There are captives of cavalry regiment Luo Lin here …”
