C2851 The Sky of Ardennes (1/2)
With the death of Alfred and his men, this bloody war on the sini had finally come to an end. As the day grew brighter, the statistics of the battlefield were also compiled.
Xiao Letian and his 1200 guards had lost 205 people in this battle, and 485 people had been seriously injured.
However, before Xiao Letian could feel pain in his heart, the French side's casualty report had already come out. The corpses were simply unable to be counted, as most of them were submerged in the water and no one had the time to salvage them. At this moment, the only thing they could do was to count the number of survivors and extract the information from their confessions.
It was not until nine in the morning did all the surviving French soldiers complete their inventory. These were basically the soldiers who were either injured, unconscious, or buried in piles of corpses. After checking, there were a total of 678 survivors.
The doctor immediately treated the wounded, and only after a brief confession was it known that Alfried had taken a total of 10,500 cavalrymen with him.
”Good heavens! We killed more than 9,800 people? Kill them all! This is a huge victory! ” Countless soldiers jumped in excitement when they heard this number.
”There can't be that many. By the time the flood came, a portion of the cavalry had been cut off on the west side of the battlefield. When the final assault was launched, a portion of the French Army at the edge of the battlefield had fled as well …”
”That would also be a wild victory. How much can we escape? ”Just a few hundred people at the top …”
”Victory!” This battle has completely destroyed the soul of the French cavalry, their elites are all destroyed! ”
When Xiao Letian received the final report, he had already boarded Qi Bolin's dirigible and started to wander around the battlefield. At this moment, Qi Bolin's dirigible had already gradually risen to the height of 200 metres above sea level, and from here, he could already overlook the entire Ardennes Mountains, with a clear view of the situation on the other side of the French border.
Today's weather was really good. The wind blowing across the surface of the ground was around 200 meters in the air, but it only blew for a couple of meters.
The huge propeller buzzed as it rotated, carrying Qi Bolin's airship as it slowly flew on the Ardennes Realm.
”Führer, look …” In the southern forest, there was a small troop of cavalry fleeing towards the south … 200 in total … ”Look, there are …”
The French soldiers had nowhere to run. The horsemen fled southward in the dense hills and forests. There were no pursuers, but they had lost their courage and didn't even dare to turn back.
”Let's give the order to the surface and chase after him …”
”No need …” ”Let them go, we need to count the number of deserters. Our casualties are no longer small, don't create unnecessary trouble …”
”Look …” A large number of troops appeared on the other side of the northern Zemuwa River … It's the army of the Belgium! ”
The reinforcements had finally arrived. Last night, the intense explosion that occurred in Zemuwa River blew up the riverbank, at the same time sending a signal to Belgian Army on the north shore.
Furthermore, the emergency telegram that was sent by the Chinese Army before the war, how could these groups of Belgian Army dare to not fight with their lives on the line? However, the troops that had not fought for a long time did not have the ability to react quickly at night.
When the Zemuwa River discovered that a large number of boats had fled, they could only take a detour to get to the bridge. By the time they reached the sini, it would already be the morning of the second day.
The soldier with the binoculars suddenly shouted, ”Chief...” has the banner of the King of Belgium s... Li Aobodeershi is back! ”
Count Qi Bolin said, ”Do we need to lower our altitude? King of Belgium is here, aren't you going to meet him? ”
