at the same time.

Tang Long led Qin Mang and others to retreat to the second city behind.

After experiencing the previous defeat, the morale of the defenders became increasingly low, and they were all dejected and without any fighting spirit.

Although no one said it clearly, everyone knew very well that if they continued like this, they would definitely be defeated. Their strength alone was no match for Tang Yu's army.

Especially the Italian artillery has left an indelible shadow in everyone's mind.

Even if they retreat to the second city, as long as there is no way to deal with the cannon, they will be defeated by Tang Yu sooner or later.

Tang Long also realized this and immediately sent people to reinforce the city and defend it tightly. He must make the second city an indestructible city in a short time.

"General Qin, report the casualties and find ways to recruit troops. If there are no strong men left, let all the old people and children in the city come up to defend the city. Tell them that only by defending the city can they have a chance of survival."

"If the city is breached, then Tang Yu will massacre the city!"

At present, Tang Long has less than 20,000 men left. It is simply impossible to use 20,000 people to deal with Tang Yu's army of hundreds of thousands.

Remember https://m in one second.

In desperation, Tang Long planned to continue recruiting troops to expand his strength. Even some old, young, sick and disabled were forcibly pulled up to defend the city.

Hearing this, Qin Mang shook his head and said: "It's useless, Your Majesty, I just went to check. Now all the people in the city have fled, and the only ones left are those with limited mobility."

When it was learned that Tang Long had retreated to the second city, the people in the city had already fled.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

No one will choose to stay here.

Tang Long said angrily: "Am I so unpopular with the people! Tang Ying Shenlong Cult abandoned me. There were many deserters who deserted me just now on the way to escape. Now even the people in the city have left!"

After the continuous blows, Tang Long's mentality completely collapsed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Ying led the Shenlong Sect members to flee. It was precisely because of Tang Ying's escape that the defenders suffered heavy casualties.

The more Tang Long thought about it, the angrier he became, and said, "Is there any trace of Tang Ying and the others? I treat him sincerely, but I didn't expect that he would betray me at the critical moment!"

"I will never let him and the Dragon Cult go! Even if I die, I will hold Tang Ying as my backer!"

Tang Long hated Tang Yu, but he hated Tang Ying even more.

If Tang Ying hadn't run away, maybe they could have managed to hold on to the city.

Even if he cannot hold it, he will not be left with only 20,000 troops.

This series of chain reactions all started because of Tang Ying.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The top priority now is to stop Tang Yu's invasion. Tang Ying is not worth mentioning at all. As long as we can stop Tang Yu's army, it will not be easy to deal with the Shenlong Sect."

"But, if we can't even pass Tang Yu's test..."

Halfway through Qin Mang's words, Tang Long also understood the implication of Qin Mang's words and suppressed his anger towards Tang Ying for the time being.

"General Qin, you are the only one I can rely on now. You have also seen the power of that cannon. I'm afraid we won't be able to defend this city at all."

"Does General Qin have any clever plan to stop Tang Yu?" Tang Long asked.

Even if he decided to defend tightly, in front of the Italian cannon, the heavy city gate was like paper.

Now, Tang Long could no longer think of any way to stop Tang Yu's army, so he could only pin his hopes on Qin Mang.

Qin Mang smiled coldly and said: "Your Majesty is right, we really cannot defend this city. If we can't defend it, then we might as well not defend it."

"The reason why I persuaded His Majesty to withdraw the troops is not to stop Tang Yu."
