Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 278 Endgame
The chaos outside slowly ended, and the standing people slowly appeared.

After confirming that the attackers had indeed left, some people came out and began to clean up the chaotic camp, and those hiding in the woods began to return to the camp, and the camp began to re-establish order.

The long dark night finally passed, fish belly appeared in the sky, and slowly, a bright red sun rose.

Zhang Ang also returned to the camp with his people, and the current camp has long since lost its original appearance.Although their camp to the north was dilapidated and dirty, it was also very well-organized and popular.But now, the inside is full of scorched black and white ground, pieces of overturned fences, corpses lying on the ground in strange shapes, and wailing wailing endlessly. It is a doomsday-like scene. .

Seeing everyone from the German Communist Party coming out, a silver armored knight with bloodshot eyes stepped forward and yelled at the big fat man "Viscount Anthony": "How the hell do you still know? Huh? The enemy is coming!" What were you doing when you were here? You just watched your compatriots being killed? Now it’s dawn, do you know? Huh?”

"Viscount Anthony" had no choice but to go up, and said in a terrified, submissive voice: "I'm sorry, I... I'm so scared, they are not human, they are devils, they are too scary, I can't beat them, I can only escape, only can escape."

The silver-armored knight raised his leather whip and paused in the air for a while, as if he wanted to pull it off, but he still didn't pull it off after all: "A bunch of cowards who can't stand on the stage! Get out of here! Go and help bury the corpse ! Go to treat the wounded! Go rebuild the construction camp! Get lost!"

After saying that, he flattered his horse and left, heading to another place.

Adolf also waved his hand and told the members to go down to help.

"Well, it seems that the loss is really heavy this time. It seems that the river crossing operation will not be launched in a short time." Looking at the messy camp, Adolf was worried.

"That's right, the night raid on France was very well arranged. They made great efforts to attack the east and west, diverted the tiger away from the mountain, and used it with great proficiency. They are worthy of being the elite cavalry of the French Revolutionary Army." Zhang Ang also said with emotion: "But they still haven't done enough. All the work, we still didn’t break through the big tent of the Chinese army in the end, otherwise we are not going to close the mess, but turn around and flee.”

"Then how should we go in this way? With the current situation, the river crossing operation will not be able to start for a while." Adolf looked a little confused.

"Don't worry, although this night attack was very successful, our army has enough numbers after all, and their attack time is not too long, so the loss should not be too great, and it's not a serious injury." Zhang Ang comforted : "And this time, His Majesty William's will is very firm, follow-up supplements should come soon. There must be stricter orders to follow, and the operation of crossing the river will not be delayed for long."

"Is that so?" Adolf touched his chin, wondering what he was thinking.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the German generals gathered together again.

There was no attack here, and it was still the same, but the generals were no longer as heroic as before. Many people's armors were stained with blood, some were covered with wounds and wrapped in bandages, and everyone's They all looked very ugly.

"Tell me, how big is the loss?" Marshal Lista asked with a livid face.

"My lord, the biggest loss was the garrison camp. They were unprepared and suffered a direct attack from the opponent's heavy cavalry. Although the battle damage is still being counted, it is estimated that it will not be less than 8000 people! The entire garrison is almost four One-tenth of the people will lose their ability to fight!" A blood-stained general on his armor reported in detail: "Secondly, the camp of the nobles suffered heavy damage due to their low combat effectiveness. Some were able to resist the enemy by relying on fences, but those running gray serfs had no resistance at all, and it is estimated that at least nearly [-] people were lost in the battle! Then there was the city defense army. Although they were the first to be attacked, the opponent was light The cavalry were not strong enough to attack fortified positions, and the actual losses they caused were not large. Excluding the large number of camps that were burned, no more than a thousand people were actually killed in battle.”

"What about the main army?" Marshal Lista then asked.

"Although some of the elite of the main army went out to chase the enemy, they also left behind a large number of elite infantry. After a bloody battle with the opponent, they have been defending the central army and did not join the battle. Therefore, the damage is minimal, and it is estimated that there will be no more than 300 people." General reported.

After taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the boiling anger in his heart, Marshal Lista then asked: "Then, do you think we can still cross the river now?"

The atmosphere in the camp suddenly cooled down, and after a long silence, Marshal Fedor, the head of the Second Army Corps, said: "I think, at least in a short period of time, we will not be able to launch the river crossing operation. Although this night attack will affect us as a whole The damage to strength is not too great, but the blow to morale is fatal! I think our soldiers don't have enough courage to attack in a short time."

Marshal Walter, the head of the Third Army Corps, also said: "Yes, the loss of the cannon fodder serfs this time is still huge. Without enough numbers, they will be useless. If they forcefully cross the river, the elites of the empire will pay Our lives, even if we can successfully cross the river, the loss is too great. And after that, there will be no strength to continue to march to Vienna!"

Marshal Luge, head of the Fourth Imperial Army Corps, suggested: "I think it's better to ask for help, at least to mobilize enough cannon fodder troops. Let everyone recover and regain confidence in the past few days! And the patrols and surveillance of the upstream and downstream must be Strengthen! Prevent the opponent from attacking again!"

"Don't worry, Marshal!" A general in heavy armor also reported: "We have destroyed all the pontoon bridges built by Yingzui Gorge and Suling Bend when the other party crossed the river, and we have sent two battalions of elites to guard there. This time the tragedy happened again!"

"Only deploy defenses at these two places?" Marshal Lista frowned: "Hurry up! Tightly defend the entire hundred miles upstream and downstream! Not even an ant is allowed to come over!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll arrange it right away!" The heavy armored general responded repeatedly, and then rushed out of the tent.

"Everyone said, what should we do next?" Marshal Lista sat down on the main seat and asked in a deep voice.

"I think it is still necessary to strengthen the investigation on the opponent. This time, we underestimated the opponent too much. We only thought about how to cross the river, but did not think that they might come over, which caused our failure this time. We cannot make the same mistake again! I It is suggested that not only deploy defenses on the north bank, but also send elite experts to smuggle to the south bank, hide and investigate secretly, so as to be foolproof!" Marshal Walter, the commander of the Third Army, suggested.

"We can't be beaten either! We have to find a way to fight back! They can sneak attack us, and we have to find a way to sneak attack them! It's not like we don't have cavalry in Germany!" Marshal Fedor, the head of the Second Army, also suggested.

"I think that since the opponent is France, their army is now fighting in a foreign country, and the country must be very empty. The northern border of our country is bordered by France. Why don't you ask Your Majesty to let the Northern Army of the Empire directly attack their French mainland! Let them not take care of both ends The defense line on this river bank is naturally solved!" Marshal Luge, the commander of the Fourth Army, also offered a plan.

With the speeches of the marshals, the decadent atmosphere in the military camp eased a lot, and many low-level generals also began to speak one after another, offering advice.
