To talk about the real nature of the weather in Ukraine, people say that it rains continuously in the south of the Yangtze River.

But in Ukraine, it rained continuously, and the violent storm lasted for four days and four nights.

The Don River surged to a height of just over a foot from the bridge deck.

As long as there is a swell, the wave can hit the bridge.

The next day after it rained, the Ming army left its position on the bank of the Don River.

Tanks and armored vehicles are all heavy equipment.

Once trapped in Zeguo, there will be iron coffins one after another.

No one needs to hit him, he will just lie down on his own.

Seeing that the situation was not good and killing a large number of French troops, the Ming army retreated decisively.

It's standard to take advantage and run away!

Except for more than 10,000 French troops who were surrounded on the east bank of the Don River, all the rest were buried on the east bank of the Don River.

Only 30% of them were killed by the Ming army, and most of the remaining people died in the low temperature caused by heavy rains.

Those French troops who did not receive the order were luckier than them.

Because they had not received an order to retreat, they still stood firm. Although it was very cold inside the underground bunker, it would definitely not freeze to death.

When the Ming army retreated, they naturally had no time to clean up these leftovers.

These people have now become heroes who stand firm.

"It's not good for us to blatantly deceive His Majesty the Emperor...!" Aibok's hands were trembling when he saw the battle report sent by Leclerc to Napoleon.

Our army defeated the Ming army that invaded the Don River Bridge and successfully recaptured the Don River Bridge.

And overcame heavy rain and muddy conditions, continued to attack the Ming army on the east coast, and finally restored their pre-war position a few days ago.

Due to heavy rain, the number of annihilated Ming troops is being counted and will be reported later!

"General Aibok, if you don't put it nicely, how can you get rid of the guilt of losing the first battle?"

"...!" Leclerc's words made Abock lose his temper and signed his name obediently.

"In fact, we did not say anything wrong. The battle line has returned to the state before the war.

And we also regained control of the Don Bridge. We didn't lie about any of this.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor comes to inspect in person now, we can still lead him to the position and the bridge.

No one can deny this."

Leclerc looked at Aibok and smiled!

Albock's face looked ugly. In theory, Leclerc was right.

But...how to explain the more than 100,000 corpses on the east coast?

Those people died miserably and were trapped in the muddy water layer upon layer. Those propped up hands and feet looked like reeds that had just emerged.

Most of them were frozen to death. If they were not ordered to leave their positions and advance with all their strength towards the Don River Bridge, they would not have died.

This is a major mistake in command!

Seeing Aibok's state, Leclerc felt the need to explain to him more clearly.

"General Abbock!

Since the beginning of the war, we have fought so many battles but have not won any of them.

Look at those soldiers outside!

Their morale is so low, not only our troops, but also the entire French army.

Can such an army win the war?"

Obok glanced at the dejected soldiers covered in mud outside, and sighed helplessly.

How can the morale of the army be high if it always loses battles?

Even he, a general, had no hope for the prospect of war.

"France needs a victory, a victory that can be spoken about.

Not only France, but the whole of Europe needs a victory.

Only with a victory can the coalition forces continue to fight and overcome their phobia against the Ming army.

Albock! Look at me, sometimes lies have to be told."

Leclerc looked at Albock with his blue eyes.

"Okay!" Aibok sighed.

The morale of the army actually needs to be improved by lying.

What is this thing...!

While Leclerc and Abock were talking, Leclerc's messenger was standing next to Napoleon.

"There's no one here, just tell me!" Napoleon noticed that the staff officer's eyes were always looking at the guards not far from Napoleon.

Obviously, this distance was not enough to prevent what he said from being heard.

Since His Majesty the Emperor said there was no problem, the staff officer had no choice but to say so.

"There were more than a dozen divisions on the west bank of the Don River, but only more than 11,000 people escaped.

Most of the rest were killed in action.

The victory we achieved on the west bank was actually the Ming army's active retreat.

This battle..." The staff officer hesitated.

"Speak!" Napoleon held the leather gloves and shook them on his hands.

It has been raining in Ukraine and the weather is very cold!

"We actually lost this battle!

And we lost miserably. General Leclerc, I beg you to punish me.

However, in order to boost morale, the general sent a telegram reporting the victory.

The general said, we have lost too much and we cannot afford to lose again."

"I can't afford to lose anymore!" Napoleon raised his head and glanced skyward.

It has been raining for four consecutive days, and now the sky is blue and cloudless, and the air is frighteningly fresh.

Taking a breath of fresh air will make you moan comfortably.

But Napoleon didn't feel this way. He felt very depressed and even felt a little tight in his chest.

The morale of the army actually had to be maintained by false victories.

The battle has reached this point...!

It concentrated all the military power in Europe, with up to 5 million troops.

Napoleon felt that with so many troops, he could fight to the ends of the earth.

But when it came to the battlefield, the coalition forces became even larger due to the participation of Israel.

Can……!

But the war has been going on for a year, and victory is still in the mirror.

Throughout the winter, the French army tried their best to launch an offensive.

In the Battle of Tsaritsyn, the French army was almost burning their own marrow.

But in the end, it failed.

Correspondingly, the Prussians had an army of more than two million people, but they had been fighting on the northern front for a long time.

Out of an army of more than two million men, only more than 300 people were killed throughout the winter.

As for the losses caused to the Russian and Ming armies..., only God knows.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor seemed very depressed, the staff officer did not dare to speak any more.

His Majesty the Emperor's coercion is still very intimidating to a young major officer like him.

"Go down!" Napoleon let out a long sigh and said softly.

"Yes!" The staff officer saluted and left as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Tell me what you know." Napoleon looked at the scenery of the Dnieper River for a long time and finally spoke again.

Only then did the intelligence staff who were waiting aside dared to come over and salute.

"Forget it, skip the red tape. Tell me what you know!" Napoleon waved his hand.

"What the major just said is basically true. Our army on the east bank of the Don River has been basically destroyed.
