After Battle of Anqing
The Battle of Anqing was miserable and intense, similar to the Battle of Stalingrad, and ended on September 5, 1861. The loss severely affected the Western Army's morale, and they lost 90,000 men in terms of their strength.

Famous quotes containing the word battle:
“I’m out of repair
but you are tall in your battle dress
and I must arrange for your journey.
I was always a virgin,
old and pitted.”
