"What?

In just half a day, all the frontier positions where more than 20,000 people were stationed were broken through?

There are less than 5,000 teams withdrawn!

In such a short time, even if our soldiers charge towards the guns and guns of the Li Wei rebels together, more than 15,000 people would not die. There are only a few people who have withdrawn. You should understand what this means!"

The commander of the Spanish Army suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted to the noble generals in front of him.

The frontier positions are the most perfect place fortifications. Because this border defense line is temporarily built and does not take into account the preparations for a long-term war, so I only put more effort into the frontier positions.

The positions behind only have simple chest walls and artillery barriers, which are used as support positions.

As a result, the frontier positions of Spanish soldiers were covered, but they collapsed in less than half a day, and most of them surrendered voluntarily!

After all, with the lethality of guns and cannons in this era, even if there are many people in the Black Dragon Legion, it is impossible to kill 15,000 people in half a day!

Killing 1,500 people is almost the same!

What does this mean?

It means that more than half of the Spanish soldiers are likely to surrender!

Of course, they may have escaped and returned to the team, but this probability is smaller than death...

Everyone knows that Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion likes to capture prisoners the most, and even does not hide it. After all, the Labor Dispatch Department under Li Wei's command has spread throughout France, contributing great strength to Li Wei's army in the south and north.

However, this kind of act of forcibly enslaving the people, not to mention the French Revolutionary Government that advocates freedom, equality and fraternity, even other monarchical countries in Europe, thinks it is too cruel to do so.

The labor dispatch department under the Li Wei regime is not a charity job, and there are up to four-digit deaths every year.

Some people were beaten to death when they tried to escape, some were unable to bear the punishment and they were exhausted to death, some were overworked and physically exhausted...

In short, no one in the Labor Dispatch Department died happily.

It is this cruel way of rule that allows workers in various labor offices under the Labor Dispatch Department to be very eager to get the opportunity to join the military through their performance.

The defect of the Black Dragon Army not paying military pay is not a problem for the workers under the Labor Dispatch Department!

Of course, people in France and even around France know that being captured by Li Wei will not die if they are captured, but will enter the labor service to work, so they are also very motivated to surrender.

It is always much better to be hard-working in a labor service than to be beaten to death on the battlefield.

Human spiritual needs are constantly suppressed.

"Commander, let's retreat. After the news of the loss of the frontier positions came back, the soldiers below were more war-weary. We had no capital to confront Li Wei's rebels head-on."

"retreat?

I want to retreat, but the land under our feet is the territory of Spain. Once we withdraw, the rebels of Levi will be able to enter the territory of Spain and do whatever they want!

At that time, no one can escape this responsibility."

"Commander, we really cannot understand Madrid's decision this time. The facts are already in front of us. Perhaps we should give up the mess in our hands.

If we hand over the remaining 30,000 troops to the Madrid government, we can also get a good ending, right?"

After this voice appeared, the commander's tent suddenly fell into silence, and then the Spanish Army commander sighed helplessly.

Obviously, he accepted this retreat.

He withdrew back to Madrid with the remaining troops, handed over the army, and resigned himself.

He believed that all the noble generals present had this idea.

Since we can't defeat Li Wei's rebels, we'll go home to take care of our old age.

At least, the defeat of the Spanish Kingdom cannot be "realized" in our own hands.

Yes, these Spanish generals who have personally experienced the combat power of the Black Dragon Legion have already made a "fork" to the future of the Spanish Kingdom in their hearts. They feel that the Madrid government's act of guilt about Levi's crimes may bring a catastrophe to the Spanish Kingdom.

Unfortunately, they cannot affect the decision-making of the Madrid government and can only passively accept this situation.

The Spanish Army retreated very quickly, so fast that it exceeded Carl's expectations.

Before Carl's troops could clear the spoils in the battlefield, the main force of the Spanish Army behind fled in shame and left all the cavalry troops behind.

With such a cavalry, the infantry of the Black Dragon Legion could not be pursued with all their strength, otherwise it would be easy to be raided by the Spanish cavalry and suffered heavy losses.

As for Li Weina, because the Black Dragon Legion participated in the battle this time, it only barely met the standards for the comprehensive war system campaign evaluation and received a small victory reward - a little glory value.

In contrast, the losses of the guard infantrymen reached more than 600.

Most of them were killed by the flowering bombs of the Spanish Army, and most of the remaining ones were killed by lead bombs, and very few were stabbed to death by Spanish soldiers.

Queueing to shoot is a very cruel mode of war, because the limitations of weapons and equipment often cause the victorious side to pay a considerable price.

Only dense formations can exert the power of front-loaded muskets, and dense formations are easily slaughtered by bullets and explosive flowering bullets.

Of course, compared with the loss of more than 600 people, the Black Dragon Legion achieved great results, and the prisoners alone captured more than 14,000!

There were less than a thousand Spanish soldiers killed!

After the guard infantry broke through the chest defense line of the frontier positions, Spanish soldiers kneeled down and surrendered in groups. The Spanish soldiers on the entire battlefield were either busy surrendering and saving their lives, or busy escaping to save their lives...

Thanks to the fact that the guard infantry was very physically strong and ran fast, they caught most of the Spanish soldiers as prisoners.

The huge number of prisoners delayed Carl's advance and had to dispatch a large number of soldiers to transport these precious labors to the rear.

There are so many people in the Labor Dispatch Department of the Li Wei regime who died every year, but there has never been a labor gap. They are still rich enough to provide high-quality soldiers for Li Wei's training ground at any time, relying on this continuous stream of prisoners of war input.

The prisoners of war that entered Li Wei's hands basically didn't want to return to their hometowns. There was no Geneva Convention in this era to provide humanitarian relief to the prisoners.

Due to the need to transport prisoners, Carl's main force could not continue to attack and could only send a small group of troops to advance.
