Chapter 4015

the other side.

The Queen Mother and others retreated to the next city.

All the soldiers of the Han Dynasty gathered together, everyone's face was extremely ugly, and the atmosphere on the field was also extremely depressed.

This time Li Jing's army not only caused heavy casualties to them, but also destroyed the arrogance of the Han army before. Now all the Han armies are like eggplants beaten by frost, and the Italian artillery has left an indelible shadow in their hearts.

The Queen Mother looked at everyone and said, "How are the casualties counted?"

Wang Zhongming stood up and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the number of casualties is being counted. Many soldiers were buried alive in the ruins, so it is difficult to count them at the moment."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sigh in the field.

Although they don't know the specific number of casualties yet, after this battle, the Han army suffered heavy casualties.

Not only did many people die, but even more were injured.

After all, artillery shells are ranged weapons, and almost all Han soldiers suffered varying degrees of injuries.

"It's all thanks to the damn Datang Dynasty for inventing such a terrifying weapon as the Italian cannon. If it weren't for the Italian cannon, our Han army wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties!"

"That's right. Without Italian artillery, Li Jing's army is nothing! We won't lose to anyone in a head-on confrontation. It would be great if we also had Italian artillery, so that we would be fully capable to fight against Li Jing's army."

"Let me see, the reason why our Han army fell to this point is not only the fault of the Tang Dynasty, but also the fault of Da Chu and other countries. We agreed that we would join forces to deal with the Tang Dynasty, but our people are almost dead, and I haven’t seen Da Chu and other countries take action, is it possible that they really regard me as an abandoned son?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly became extremely complicated, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Queen Mother.

This is also what worries them the most.

If they faced the Tang Dynasty, they still had the courage to fight it.

But if the big man really becomes an outcast, then they are completely doomed.

Without the support of Dachu and other countries, what could they do to deal with the Tang Dynasty?

The Queen Mother frowned. She had previously suspected that the big man had been abandoned by Da Chu and other countries, but then she thought about it and thought that doing so would not do any good to Da Chu at all.

Although she didn't know why Da Chu and other countries had not taken action, she could guess that Chu Yunteng must be planning something.

"You don't need to worry about this. Da Chu and other countries will not abandon us. Our main problem now is how to deal with Da Tang. Although our retreat to this city is not a long-term solution, do you understand?"

The Queen Mother glanced at the entire audience, and all the soldiers looked embarrassed.

They also know that retreat is never a good idea, but right now, they have no other way to go except retreat.

Fight, can't beat.

Withdraw, but not far away.

The Han Dynasty previously occupied eleven cities in the Tang Dynasty, but now they still have ten cities behind them that they can retreat to.

But when all the cities have fallen, where should they retreat?

The most critical point is that if all the cities are really lost in the end and the Han army withdraws to the Han Dynasty, who can guarantee that the Tang Dynasty will not invade the Han Dynasty?

This is what worries the Queen Mother the most.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, these cities were all for nothing, and they would be lost if they were lost in the end.

But the Han Dynasty was different. If the Han Dynasty was invaded by the Tang Dynasty, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother regretted for a moment. If she had known this, she would rather choose neutrality than become the enemy of the Tang Dynasty.
