C2838 Talk! (1/2)
Zemuwa River was not considered one of the famous rivers in Europe, he was just a part of the Meuse River. Normally, people could even wade through some of the rivers when the amount of water was not high in the dry season.
It was only in the seventh and eighth months of the summer that the Zemuwa River was in its prime. At this time, all the handicrafts and agricultural by-products on both sides of the river were being transported by boat to the lower reaches of the France.
This was the season when cargo ships gathered. As the Franco-Prussian War was at its most intense, the trading route to France was already isolated by the flames of war, thus many small cargo ships stayed in Zemuwa River.
After the Dragon Guards had blown up the riverbank, they had temporarily stolen a few boats, but they hadn't expected that these boats would give Alfred hope.
”There's a boat!” The ones on those boats must be Chinese engineers, and they blew up the river bank... ”Dammit, don't they have boats? Don't we have boats?”
”Sound the horn! Gather the troops and rebuild the army in 15 minutes!”
The gathering horn sounded out outside of sini City, as Alfred gave the order to rebuild the city. This was also a last resort, because the great army had already thrown the flood into chaos.
It was very likely that the French Army, which had been separated by the flood, belonged to five or six different forces. It was very difficult for a group like this to be banned, and it was also very difficult for them to quickly find a direct superior.
The plan now was to re-disrupt the formation and allow the divided troops to quickly establish their own command systems.
A temporary squad of more than ten people could form a platoon of thirty or so people, and a company of nearly a hundred people could form …
The officers and soldiers would enter the army according to their titles, ranks, and times of service … The choice of trustworthy officers was a very important factor in this selection.
In this age of Europe, the people with titles thought that this was an advanced education, and that knowledge was the most precious thing of all time.
After just one small change from chaos to reconstruction, the strength of the French army was shown. There was no confusion at all. Within ten minutes, the units had regained their command and reported back to Alfred.
The army has its own secret communication system. Multiple encryption methods make it easy for Alfred to get the details of the scattered ministries on the battlefield.
Within the ten minutes, there was no chaos. There were no arguments or questions of surrender. The uniform of the soldiers explained everything. If you are a knight and I am a viscount, then I will lead you!
You're a three year old veteran. I've already been in the army for five years. Of course I'm above you!
A large part of the men that Alfred had brought with him this time were officers with titles, which gave him the benefit of reconstructing his team.
The numbers on the wall kept changing, and soon enough, Alfred found out that he had enough soldiers to fight. When he saw the numbers, his tears started to fall.
”Four thousand five hundred and fifty people …” Was there only this little amount of people left? ”What's left …”
Over ten thousand cavalrymen were left with only four thousand five hundred. This was the first time in the history of war in Europe!
In the history of the European war, other than fighting with the pagan, there were very few casualties. Generally speaking, more than 30% of the casualties were enough to surrender.
More than half are dead now, and Alfred insists!
”Brothers …” Right now, the entire terrain is as follows, the ground to the east of the Sony Town is higher than the west and south, while the brothers outside the city have already taken control of the hills and land to the east … ”
