Joseph nodded, "Yes, the Fourth Infantry Division will be the first to reach the Ardennes Plateau."
Massena was overjoyed, discreetly clenched his fist and said, "Great! With so many reinforcements, we can launch a counterattack against Ferdinand!"
After the armies of Thuringia and Upper Hesse were crushed, the Allied Forces had an army of nearly 140,000 on paper, but 30,000 of Duke of York's men had just arrived north of the Ardennes Plateau and had not yet entered the battlefield.
Additionally, 15,000 troops were used to besiege the Luxembourg Fortress, so the main force fighting on the Ardennes Plateau was only about 95,000 people.
And when the French Southern Netherlands army arrives here, Massena's forces will reach 83,000 people.
If he recalls Udino Corps's 5,000 men who are hunting outside, it will be 88,000.
On the Ardennes Plateau side, the French Army's numbers will be quite close to those of the Allied Forces.
