Chinese infantry throughout the night of 24/25 April. The Canadians called in artillery fire directly onto some of their own positions on two occasions when overrun. After fierce fire-fights and intense artillery barrages, the Chinese withdrew on 25 April with enormous casualties of about 1,000-5,000 dead and many more wounded, mostly from artillery fire. The Canadians were exhausted of ammunition and supplies, but the Chinese failed to launch a final assault. The Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and US casualties amounted to 49 dead and 111 wounded. This is a good example of victory against superior military numbers. Boudican Revolt The Boudican Revolt was an assault by 230,000 Celtic tribesmen against a Roman army of 10,000. When reinforcements failed to arrive, the Roman governor moved his forces into a bottlenecked valley, forcing the uncoordinated Celts to come to him. His forces first exhausted their ranged weaponry before moving forward in a tight, shielded formation, while cavalry forces harassed the sides of the enemy formation. Worsening the situation, the Celts had left their wagons blocking their route of escape, preventing routed forces from effectively fleeing. In total, around 80,000 Celts were ultimately killed, while the Roman army suffered only around 400 losses, with similar numbers injured, and the rebellion was firmly crushed.
