Chapter 880: 415: Great Defeat! Betraying Turing Duo!_2
Even if Suo Lun led many experts to pursue Turing Tuo, once they were deeply embroiled in the chaotic army, it was very likely to be a loss beyond worth.
Moreover, the cunning Marquis FuE was always with Turing Tuo. With two top-tier powerhouses together, there was no chance of victory.
"Don’t worry, Turing Duo won’t be able to escape, Turing Tuo will definitely deliver her right to our doorstep," Suo Lun said.
Then, Suo Lun shouted loudly: "Surrender and you shall not be killed! Surrender and you shall not be killed!"
Instantly, other people in Suo Lun’s army also shouted along, "Surrender and you shall not be killed!"
"Surrender and you shall not be killed, Surrender and you shall not be killed!"
Everyone shouted in unison!
At once, the majority of Zhi Li’s Forces continued to desperately flee, while a small portion instinctively stopped, clasped their heads with both hands, and crouched on the ground.
Because some people had heard that after the Southeast Corps had been captured by Suo Lun, their military salary doubled, and their weapons, armor, and food improved!
...
At this time, behind the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, tens of thousands of the Southeast New Army stood in place, filled with guilt as if wishing death upon themselves!
From the onset of the battle, they looked as pale as death, their gazes restless, harboring unusual thoughts.
After the battle began, it had always been the twenty-five thousand Rock Thieves Corps at the forefront. Later, as casualties mounted, the Luanyang Revenge Army took over, and then as the pressure intensified, the Rouran Cavalry from Ashi Li’s ranks were pushed forward.
These twenty thousand Rouran Cavalry were Suo Lun’s last life-saving asset.
In case Zhi Li’s Forces broke through the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, these twenty thousand cavalry could utilize their mobility to make a final charge.
However, to prevent excessive casualties among the Rock Thieves Corps, Suo Lun had to order thousands of Rouran Cavalry to dismount and join the infantry on the walls.
From beginning to end, Suo Lun did not use any of these tens of thousands of Southeast New Army, not allowing them onto the walls!
Suo Lun had reorganized these Southeast New Army. Together with armor, weapons, military salary, and so forth, they cost nearly one hundred thousand Gold Coins.
The amount spent on each Southeast New Soldier was even higher than that on a Rock Thief Warrior.
Because Rock Thief Warriors did not wear armor that covered their entire body, they did not need shields or great swords.
Yet, after entering the battlefield, these more than twenty thousand Rock Thieves Corps engaged incessantly at the front line, repelling over three times their number of enemies.
But the Southeast New Army, from beginning to end, did not participate in a single fight.
They might manage well in fights where the wind blows favorably, but in battles with unpredictable outcomes, Suo Lun truly dared not send them.
At this moment, Suo Lun deeply realized the value of quality over quantity in troops.
Suo Lun did not hide the coldness and dissatisfaction in his eyes, casting a stern glance over these Southeast New Army.
These tens of thousands of Southeast New Army were filled with boundless shame.
However, at that time, the surviving ten thousand-plus Rock Thief Warriors, each bearing wounds, did not cheer at the sight of the enemy’s collapse but instead roared furiously.
"Don’t run, don’t run, come and fight with us!"
"I haven’t had my fill of killing yet, cowards, cowards..."
If these Rock Thief Warriors were not still somewhat rational, they would have leaped down from the walls, eager to continue the fray.
This scene added even more to the Southeast New Army’s shame, making it impossible for them to lift their heads!
...
Princess Zhen Yan, ethereal in her grace, stood at the highest point of the castle, overlooking the entire battlefield, her gaze complex!
Suo Lun stepped forward, saying, "We’ve won, your throne is secured."
Princess Zhen Yan gently nodded, releasing a light sigh of relief, but she did not seem overly joyful.
"If Zhi Li and Turing Tuo had truly made a desperate move, we could have lost," said Princess Zhen Yan.
Suo Lun replied, "They value their lives above all, they would never make a desperate move."
Princess Zhen Yan added, "If the absolute commander of this grand battle was Turing Tuo, then perhaps they wouldn’t have lost. They just need to not rush into a battle; their chances of winning are still considerably high. Faced with our cannons and gunpowder, they could simply dig trenches to withstand most of the firepower."
After entering the heat of the battle, trenches and bunkers had become the absolute mainstream of battlefield defense.
Princess Zhen Yan immediately identified this crucial point, her insight exceptionally sharp.
And given enough time, a veteran commander like Turing Tuo, without rushing into a decision, could also identify the key to defending against cannons and gunpowder.
Unfortunately, following the initial setback, Zhi Li and Turing Tuo harbored different dreams on the same bed, wary of each other, with what they lacked most being patience. Each day they delayed, they worried about more complications arising.
Thus, a hasty battle was bound to happen!
Suo Lun, exasperatedly said, "Yan, why do you always think about what the enemy should do to defeat us?"
Princess Zhen Yan said, "Zhi Li mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, yet their loss was so bizarre; from the perspective of a bystander, it’s quite lamentable."
Suo Lun said, "Hearing you say this, in the presence of countless troops, I now feel the urge to spank you."
Princess Zhen Yan, with eyes flickering with provocation, coquettishly said, "Go ahead and spank!"
Moreover, she even slightly pouted her charming buttocks.
"Smack!" Suo Lun spanked Princess Zhen Yan’s curvaceous, attractive buttocks.
"Ah..." Princess Zhen Yan exaggeratedly moaned.
Instantly, the noise drew the attention of many, and countless soldiers looked up toward the highest point of the castle.
Was that... the future Regent King spanking the future Queen?
Is this a celebration of victory?
They could hardly believe their eyes; Princess Zhen Yan, who seemed to exist above the earthly realm, was spanked in public, it was madness!
"Husband, thank you!" Princess Zhen Yan snuggled into Suo Lun’s embrace, looked up and kissed him, her voice soft, "Without you, today’s victory would not be possible."
