Teng Teng... A burst of footsteps sounded, and Cameco, who was covered in blood, ran up to the bell tower. When he saw the head of state sitting on the ground smoking peacefully, he suddenly felt dizzy and leaned against the brick wall.
"God bless! God bless! I hope you're okay. Fortunately, you're okay..." The brigade commander felt as if his muscles had been cramped all over his body.
Xiao Letian looked at him, then reached out and patted the stone slab next to him, "Sit down and rest for a while... The enemies have withdrawn? You didn't pursue them?"
Cameko sat down next to Xiao Letian, took the cigarette that the head of state had lit, and started to smoke heavily, "Withdraw, he's running faster than a rabbit. I don't dare to chase him, for fear that Frossard will wake up." !”
"The total strength of the French is 25,000, and our total strength is less than 7,000... By the way, 3,000 reinforcements have just arrived, totaling more than 10,000 people. It is already a miracle that they can scare away the 25,000 French troops. !”
"Only three thousand reinforcements came? I thought there would have to be seven or eight thousand more... Tsk, tsk, I was really in danger!" Xiao Letian shook his head and said with a wry smile.
Upon hearing this, Brigadier Cameco shouted excitedly, "Do you still know about the danger? How did you assure me before? You said you were just inspecting the battlefield terrain, only wandering around the edges, and how did you end up running to the castle?" Are you here?"
"You almost harmed us and ruined this war. You are gambling!"
"Okay, okay, let me apologize to you, okay? But the ending is still good!"
The ending couldn't be better. The 10,000 Prussian troops were able to defeat the 25,000 French troops, and this was despite the fact that the French army had a geographical advantage. This cannot but be said to be a miracle.
The Battle of Spicilin is destined to become a miracle in the history of European wars from this moment on, a classic battle example that will always be studied in textbooks.
After a sleepless night, everyone was busy. The soldiers began to clean the battlefield and rebuild defensive positions. They did not dare to pursue the enemy for fear that the French troops would understand and kill them.
Civil servants and logistics officials began to count the loot. The French army left a small mountain of supplies, enough for them to fight two more difficult battles.
Everyone was working. Only Xiao Letian and the five hundred Chinese soldiers in the castle were very leisurely. They lit a bonfire and cooked broth. The Prussian army sent them the best coffee and cocoa, and even several boxes of red wine. .
The Prussian troops were exhausted to death, but no one blamed the Chinese for their leisure. Everyone knew that the victory of this battle was inseparable from the personal dangers of these Chinese.
Many soldiers walked through the castle and silently saluted these resting Chinese soldiers. They were silently expressing their gratitude.
The night passed quickly, and the final battlefield count was shocking. The French army suffered more than 4,000 casualties in the entire battle, while the Prussian army suffered more than 5,000 casualties.
When Xiao Letian heard this number, he remained silent for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he took out a bottle of red wine from the wooden box and without a screwdriver, he knocked directly on the wall and hit the mouth of the bottle.
The red wine syrup was sprinkled on the ground. "One general will make thousands of bones wither! The rise of every nation will kill people!"
"One day and one night...in such a short period of time, ten thousand lives were lost in this world!"
"Ten thousand people, ten thousand young soldiers! Ten thousand wives are crying, ten thousand families are mourning! This is war! All the dead are living people!"
"Children, you must remember that we are not murderers. The only purpose of war is to avoid war! Ten thousand people died today to prevent the two nations from dying by 100,000 people in the future!"
"We have butcher's knives in our hands, but we also have kindness in our hearts! We must fight quickly and use the most brutal battle to end the rule of the French Emperor, because only in this way can the war be reduced in scale and fewer people die!"
"The more brutal the war, the longer the years of peace will be! There is no way, this is the fate of mankind!"
The Battle of Spisilin Heights was finally over, and no French counterattack was found after dawn, which showed that the most dangerous moment had passed.
Looking back on this battle, it was actually very dangerous for the Prussian army to win. Twenty-five thousand men fought against ten thousand men. The French army took a big advantage, and the subsequent reinforcements of the Prussian army were not as large as Frossard expected.
Throughout the night, the reinforcements from the north were added battalion by battalion, and by eight o'clock in the morning, 20,000 troops were barely gathered on the high ground.
The victory of this battle was entirely attributed to Xiao Letian's judgment of the French general's mentality. It was precisely because he correctly judged Frossard's hesitant mentality that he formulated this extremely dangerous attack plan.
If Frossard had not hesitated at the beginning but had made up his mind to take the initiative to counterattack, he could have easily eaten this brigade of Prussian troops with his superior strength, and might even have captured Xiao Letian alive.
But he didn't. From that time on, he had already thought too much about some issues that he shouldn't have considered. He had so many selfish thoughts. He was obviously a general but insisted on thinking about politicians and conspirators. How could this kind of mentality be undefeated!
After Xiao Letian sneaked into the castle and stabbed his heart with a bayonet, Frossard was shocked again. He verified his speculation through the abnormal and crazy behavior of the Chinese.
Being timid, he even felt that he was not facing 10,000 Prussian troops, but a heavy siege of 100,000 Prussian troops. In the end, he was scared away alive.
It is unprecedented for psychological warfare to reach Xiao Letian's level!
If we talk about the Austro-Prussian War, Xiao Letian's army gained a reputation as a good defender of the Chinese people through the bloody battle in Shiqiao Highlands, then this battle gave the Chinese people a good reputation as a good attacker!
The Chinese special operations team members demonstrated an unprecedented art of war to the whole of Europe. This is special operations!
There were only two thousand special forces members, but they determined the rhythm of the entire battle. From the moment they penetrated into the enemy's territory and fired the first shot, this kind of dimensional crushing that spanned the ages was everywhere.
Make extensive use of the sniper's battlefield control capabilities, improve the soldiers' battlefield camouflage capabilities, and use the terrain to carry out forest annihilation warfare, night attacks, and decapitation tactics!
The various dazzling new tactics shocked the Prussian military leaders. When Moltke and Bismarck received incredible telegrams in the rear, they could no longer sit still, and the two quickly took the The train comes to the front line.
As a result, after arriving at Steinmetz's base camp, they discovered that Xiao Letian was no longer here, and the dignified Chinese head of state had actually rushed to the front line of the battlefield.
"Find those Chinese, we can't let them participate in the subsequent battles!" Moltke shouted loudly, "God bless! The Chinese must not be allowed to show this magical tactic again. Our Prussian military has not fully mastered it. Before being absorbed, English and French must not be allowed to learn..."
Bismarck was also anxious. "Yes, this brand new tactic is completely revolutionary. It has even changed the understanding of all our textbooks!"
"Let the Chinese withdraw. These tactics are weapons of national defense. Before we master them, they must not be leaked to the outside world!"
"Prepare your horse and tell me the location of the head of state!"
