With the death of Alfred and others, the bloody battle in Syni finally came to an end, and as the day dawned, the battlefield statistics were also compiled.
Xiao Letian and the 1,200 defenders he led lost 205 people in this battle and 485 were lightly or seriously injured, which was a full battle loss rate of half.
But before Xiao Letian could feel distressed, the French casualty report also came out. There was no way to count the dead bodies. Many of them were submerged in the water and no one had time to salvage them. At this moment, they could only count the number of survivors and extract them from their confessions. .
It was not until nine o'clock in the morning that all the surviving French troops were counted. These were basically soldiers who were injured and comatose or buried in piles of corpses. After counting, a total of 678 survivors were counted.
Military doctors immediately treated the seriously wounded, and then through simple oral questioning, people learned that Alfred had brought out a total of 10,500 cavalry.
"Oh my God! We killed more than 9,800? Total annihilation. This is a wild victory!" Countless soldiers jumped up excitedly when they heard this number.
"There can't be that many. When the flood came, some cavalry were isolated on the west side of the battlefield. During the final assault, some French troops on the edge of the battlefield also escaped..."
"That was also a wild victory. How many people could escape? There were only a few hundred people standing in the sky..."
"Victory! This battle completely destroyed the soul of the French cavalry, and their elite was completely destroyed!"
When Xiao Letian received the final battle report, people had already boarded the Zeppelin and started cruising on the battlefield. At this moment, the Zeppelin had gradually risen to an altitude of 200 meters. From here, one could already overlook the entire Ardennes Highlands, far away from France. What is happening across the border is clear.
Today is a really nice day. There is no wind on the surface, but the wind in the sky more than 200 meters away is only one or two levels.
The huge propellers hummed and rotated, taking the Zeppelin to fly slowly over the Ardennes.
"Look, Head of State... There is a small group of cavalry in the southern forest fleeing to the south... There are two hundred in number... Look, there are some over there too..."
It was clear at a glance that the French troops who escaped here had nowhere to escape. The cavalry, who were in panic all day long, fled southward in the hills and dense forests. In fact, there were no pursuers behind them, but they were completely frightened and did not dare to look back.
"The head of state should issue orders to the ground and chase them..."
"No need..." Xiao Letian wrapped himself in a leather jacket, "Let them live. Let's count how many deserters there are. Our casualties are not small. Don't make trouble..."
"Look...a large number of troops are appearing on the other side of the Semuwa River in the north...it's the Belgian army!"
The reinforcements finally arrived. The violent explosion that occurred on the Semuwa River last night blew up the river embankment and also sent a signal to the Belgian army on the north bank.
Coupled with the emergency telegram sent by the Chinese army before the war started, how dare these Belgian regiments not fight desperately, but the troops who had not fought for a long time did not have the ability to respond quickly late at night. It took more than four hours to assemble the troops.
After the Semuwa River, they found that a large number of ships had escaped. They had no choice but to take a long way and take the bridge. After such a torturous process, it was already the morning of the next day after they approached Syni.
The soldier holding the telescope suddenly shouted "The Führer...with the flag of the King of Belgium...Leopold II has also returned!"
Count Zeppelin next to him said, "Do you need to lower your height? The King of Belgium is here, why don't you go and see him?"
"No! Let him take a good look at what kind of army he has raised. The enemy was overwhelmed almost without firing a shot. Let him take a good look at the miserable condition of Xu Ni!"
"Let Leopold II's anger be transferred to the negotiation table! He will probably send a telegram to all his relatives in Europe soon..."
"Haha... Leopold II belongs to the ancient pedigree of European emperors. He is a member of the blood aristocracy I just mentioned. Although the country is small, he has many relatives!"
"The French are so aggressive this time. If they can't defeat them on their own, why don't they mobilize their relatives to besiege them? Just watch, there's a lot of excitement in the back..."
"In the final analysis, the noble status of the Bonaparte family is too short-lived. On the surface, the royal families of various European countries respect the Bonaparte family, but in fact they are afraid of the powerful military power of the Bonaparte family!"
"From the bottom of their hearts, they are two groups of people. Those blood nobles simply look down on upstarts like Bonaparte. They don't think that the people they awarded the crown to are real nobles!"
"Now the opportunity has come, the blood nobles are about to start liquidating the nouveau riche!"
"Ignore him! Let me admire my big toy alone! This is my airship, my Fuhrer! Hahaha... Count Zeppelin, when I return to Ryukyu, I will propose to give you the same Chinese title! "
"I hope you can build such an airship factory in Asia. Don't let me down!"
Count Zeppelin said respectfully, "Of course, you are the sole sponsor of airship technology. In terms of emotion, reason and law, you 100% enjoy the patented technology here!"
"There is no problem with the airship factory! I will jointly register companies in Europe and Asia, and the two production bases will start working at the same time!"
"Okay! Great... Asia's number one airship force will rely on you! I will continue to invest. What I need is a more mature combat airship!"
Touching the pod of the Zeppelin, looking up at the huge airbag, with the whole of Europe under his feet, Xiao Letian shouted excitedly into space.
"It feels good! It feels so damn good!"
Xiao Letian deeply realized the unique charm of power. Although he came from the 21st century, he seemed to be much more advanced than the ancients, but in that world Xiao Letian was just a white-collar worker.
Own an airship? He dared not even dream of this dream. He had never even flown in a hot air balloon or flown first class on an airplane!
In this parallel world, he can not only own an airship as a toy, but he can even own an airship production center, and all of this is brought about by power.
What are rights? The right is that at this moment, Xiao Letian spreads his arms, and there will be no obstacles to him anywhere within sight!
Even the mighty France must bow before his feet at this moment!
"It's time to close the net! Napoleon III, what other tricks do you have? Have you exhausted all your cards? Your era is over!"
"Continue to send telegrams to Bismarck, asking him to leave me alone and continue the attack according to the original plan! Force the Emperor to the border! I'm waiting to watch the Emperor's surrender ceremony!"
