Taking advantage of this gap, the head envoy glanced back at the wounded soldiers present, after which he beckoned and summoned the envoy next to him, “Go and send someone to tally up the specific figures of our casualties.”
Shaking his eyes over, many people were lying down, the casualty figures were obviously relatively huge, so based on that, the head envoy was very worried inwardly.
After that envoy received the order, he quickly went down.
“Judging from the situation at the scene, Hall Master Xu, the situation isn’t too good ah, we haven’t even launched an attack now, and we’ve lost so many people at once.”
Xu Long nodded and sighed, “There are wounded soldiers everywhere, I really don’t know what this Han Sanqian has done.However, as you said, just by looking at this situation alone, I’m afraid the number is already quite large.”
“If our losses are too severe, this battle is highly
might not be as good as we thought it would be.”The head envoy sighed helplessly, “Our advantage lies in the fact that we have a fine and large number of soldiers, but if the numbers are greatly discounted, then the advantage over the sailors will be further reduced.”
“Together with the geographical advantage of the ancient tomb, what I’m worried about is that I’m afraid this battle has come to an early end.”
Xu Long was also well aware of the reasoning behind this, “What you mean is that if there are simply too many wounded soldiers and our side loses its advantage, it should be an immediate retreat and abandon the attack?”
The head envoy did have this idea, but ideas were just ideas, if they were really to be translated into practice, this would actually be very tough.
After all, admitting defeat like this was not only heartbreaking, the hardest part was the shame in this ah.
“I also know that giving up the attack would be a great failure, it would even make the sailors thus never again
not take us into account, and of course, our soldiers will lose much of their confidence in fighting sailors from now on.”
“But what would we gain by forcing an attack when we know we can’t beat it?”
When the time comes, there will inevitably be massive casualties, and if they win, that’s fine, but if they lose, today’s battlefield will actually be their graveyard.
They would completely lose everything.
“If we withdraw, and the wounded soldiers recover, at least we will still have the strength to duel with the sailors in the future, and the advantage will always still be in our hands in the future.”
Staying in the green hills, not afraid of no firewood, the first time in the moment can find the gap, is also a good thing.
Xu Long was actually not very good at saying anything about this, because almost the same as the head envoy, he himself actually had this aspect of worry.
Worry.
In fact, no matter which choice was made, it might be wrong, but then again, it was highly likely to be right.
Therefore, he was not in a good position to make any judgement or make any decision, and in fact, for himself personally, he could accept either one.
But how to explain to his men as well as the old hall master was truly the most difficult time.
Just when he didn’t know how to answer, the Fourth Elder had already flown out from inside the hole in the ground at this time, his left hand carried a trace of black gas, which was wrapped in some colour dyed water.
“This person, Han Sanqian, is truly despicable and shameless, look guys, what is this.”
The fourth elder controlled the colourful water wrapped in true qi to the crowd, who took a closer look and frowned.
The First Elder and Third Elder had been outside for a long time after all, so naturally they were quite familiar with some things.
As soon as they
seeing it, the First Elder immediately opened his mouth and said, “These waters are red, and the materials inside have a gust of fishy odour as well as a very strong Yang Qi, it shouldn’t be ……”
The third elder was injured, but after all, it wasn’t heavy, after a night’s rest he was also much better, “This seems to be something like vermilion sand, mixed into the water.”
“Cinnabar?”Xu Long immediately frowned, and all of a sudden he seemed to remember something: “Could it be, it’s the material used by those villagers to draw yellow talismans?”
“This means that even those waste-like people have joined the battle inside.”The head envoy said with some anger.
The sailors attacked them, and the sailors were still more or less competent, but those ordinary villagers attacking them made them somewhat unable to hold back.
Because it was always a **fruitful provocation when the absolute weakest person in front of you did so.
