Sianking 1875
Somewhere near the Jin Sha Jiang River...
"This is not possible!" the Generál-Leytenánt exclaimed slamming his fist against the war table, "I will not have another Peking on my hands!"
The general staff, all blood and mud, stood restlessly at attention.
"The cowards would retreat into the territory that I invaded from? Some brilliant tactical genius resides within the enemy camps?"
The staff maintained their positions and offered no response.
"More likely," the commander exploded, "my men were unable to see a column of defeated men marching through our lines? What excuses have you!?!"
One of the officers on the staff stepped forward and offered a response, "Perhaps it was that fog we passed on the way here that sounded like boots in cadence?"
