Chương 402: Chapter 317: France Will Be the Key to the War_2

Several hours later, a succinct battle report was submitted into his hands. The report showed that approximately 16,000 Austrian soldiers and 9,000 French had successfully retreated. As for the Bavarian forces on the western side, since no combat had occurred, they, along with the 5,000 Austrian soldiers, had all safely returned.

The main forces were still intact, and Wumz quietly breathed a sigh of relief. However, in this battle, his two most elite skirmisher battalions had almost been entirely wiped out, and the cavalry had lost nearly four squadrons, even General Naundorf was wounded.

Therefore, although the losses in terms of numbers were not too great for the Austrian Army, the impact on their combat effectiveness was quite severe.

The next day at noon, when Marshal Lacy, the overall commander of the Austrian forces, led the main forces to the border of Legnica, he was met face-to-face with the retreating Wumz Corps.
