C2713 The mercy of the conqueror! (1/2)
Stepping onto the enemy's land as a conqueror, this feeling was simply too great. Prince Karl, who was riding on his big horse, looked down at the ants like commoners, waves surging in his heart.
Back when Napoleon dominated Europe, when he led his troops to crush the hope of Prussian army Jena … Did he feel this good?
Look at the Red Cross doctors and nurses, look at those lowly, wailing soldiers of the France! What happened to their arrogance and pride?
”I really didn't expect that the arrogant second strongest military nation in the world... The arrogant France actually fell to relying on wounded soldiers to block the pursuers! ”
”What did your bloody battle bring back? In the end, it was just abandonment! McMahon abandoned you, and French Emperor abandoned you too! ”
”And the most important thing is! Times... It is the times that have abandoned you! ”
Prince Karl's words were extremely ear-piercing. The French soldiers were so excited that their faces were flushed red, but they were defeated in a battle of strength. All the wounded soldiers lowered their heads, and some of the heavily injured soldiers even fainted away in anger.
The dean of the field hospital walked over and bowed towards Prince Karl, ”Respected sir, they are your enemies on the battlefield. Their lives are governed by the Emperor or General …”
”But at this moment, they are just pitiful people struggling on the border of life and death. Right now, their lives should be controlled by God …”
”Please have mercy on them. Give them a way out!”
Prince Karl looked at the people who were embroidered with the Red Cross insignia, and his expression eased a little. Prussia was also a member of the Red Cross, so of course he had to abide by the Convention.
”God bless you, merciful sir, and of course I can promise not to harm them, and I can give you the necessary food and medicine! ”But I have two other conditions …”
”First, you must carefully search these soldiers. Hand over all your weapons, and don't leave even a dagger behind …”
”Second, you have to register them and hand them over to us …”
”Thirdly, all soldiers that can move must be sent to the POW camp in the Baden Territory. I must ensure that they will not turn around and shoot at my army …”
”With just these three conditions, if you agree, you can provide me with food and medicine. If you don't, …” You guys can go and die on your own! ”
The dean looked at the thousands of wounded soldiers behind him. He didn't have a choice, ”As you wish, Your Highness!”
”Very good. Give me the necessary food and medicine, check the field hospitals, and register the weapons!”
”For those who have lost more than 20% of their troops, all of them will rest in their camps …” ”All the remaining survivors, chase after the French till you reach the Mace!”
In the Spicillin's plateau, Xiao Letian, Bismark and Lao Maoqi had not slept for an entire night. Even now, Prince Karl had not sent them a message, and the three of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Bitter coffee, strong tea, all of them were being poured into their stomachs. The various arrows on the map were all aimed at the Mace.
As long as they broke through the Foshan Mountain Pulse, the Mace would be surrounded by a heavy encirclement. With a total of 320 thousand soldiers, sufficient supplies, and high morale, attacking the small Mace was simple and easy.
