With the continuous bombardment of Italian artillery, the thick city wall became precarious.
The faces of the Queen Mother and others were extremely ugly, and they all felt as if they had eaten dead flies.
"hateful!"
"Is the Tang Dynasty's firepower endless?"
The Queen Mother's eyes were splitting. She originally wanted to wait for the Italian artillery to stop and lead the army to counterattack, but she was constantly suppressed and beaten by the Italian artillery. It was really a bit too bullying.
The most important thing is that if this continues, the morale of the Han army will also be affected.
However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.
The Queen Mother never dreamed that Datang's ammunition would be so abundant. It had been firing for almost an hour now, and the Italian artillery had no intention of stopping.
All the soldiers present were extremely depressed.
Nowadays, whenever they hear the sound of Italian artillery, they will be shocked and their nerves will always be in a state of tension.
If this continues, let alone whether the city will be captured by the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely suffer from nervous breakdown first!
Especially for the Han army defending the city, it was a painful torture.
"Queen Mother, the city is about to be destroyed, we should retreat. When Li Jing's army comes to kill us, we may not even have a chance to retreat."
Wang Zhongming smiled bitterly and shook his head. Datang's firepower completely exceeded all of their expectations.
The Italian artillery beat them to the point where they lost all their temper.
The words fell.
All the soldiers also persuaded him.
"That's right, Queen Mother, you can keep the green hills and don't have to worry about having no firewood. Anyway, there are ten cities behind us. If they come to attack one, we will retreat to one. They can even consume the Tang Dynasty to death!"
"You're right! I don't believe that the shells of the Italian cannon are endless. Sooner or later, there will be a day when we run out of ammunition and food, and that's the best time for us to counterattack! We don't have to fight for a temporary win or loss! "
"I second the motion! Think about it, Queen Mother. Every time the Tang Dynasty attacks a city, it consumes a lot of ammunition. Moreover, the further we move the battlefield, the more difficult it will be for the Tang Dynasty to supply supplies. Once the Italian cannons run out of shells, they will be useless. It’s almost like scrap metal!”
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes suddenly lit up.
yes.
Anyway, there were many cities behind her. Datang couldn't bomb every city with Italian artillery.
In this way, sooner or later the artillery shells will be used up. Then there will be no need to worry about dealing with Li Jing's army. Without the threat of Italian artillery, the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty will not be afraid of anyone at all.
"You are right, I want to see how many shells Datang has left to consume!"
"Send the order and the whole army will retreat immediately. If they attack one, I will retreat one. Let's see who of us can defeat the other! Hahaha!"
The Queen Mother laughed loudly. Only now did she realize how wrong she had been to defend the city.
Anyway, no matter how they resist, they can't be a match for the Italian artillery. In this case, they simply won't defend, and the Queen Mother plans to engage in a war of attrition with Li Jing's army.
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said: "By the way, before retreating, ask the soldiers to bring everything that can be used in the city, and don't leave a hair to the Tang Dynasty. Those who can't be taken away will be set on fire! After all, these are the cities of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The Tang Dynasty won't let us have an easy time, and we won't make it easy for the Tang Dynasty. Let's see who suffers the greater loss!"
In an instant, before Li Jing's army launched a general attack, the Queen Mother led all the Han troops to retreat secretly.
Before leaving, he also set a fire in the city.
The city was filled with flames!
