Wang Tan saw the scene of the Southern Nation's soldiers killing each other. An additional trace of helplessness and regret appeared on Wang Tan's face. That was because he had been defeated in this battle. He had been beaten to the point where he did not even have the strength to fight back.
Wang Tan sighed. "Prime Minister, we've lost."
Wu Youdao said, "Your Majesty, we can only retreat now. Let's retreat first and think about other things when we return to the country. After all, we may have lost this battle, but it doesn't mean that we don't have the strength to fight anymore. We can still fight in the end. "
Wang Tan said, "Pass down the order to retreat."
When the messenger heard this, he quickly gave the order to retreat. Along with the clanging of the gongs, the soldiers of the Southern Nation had already begun to retreat. Facing the army of the Xia Kingdom, especially the fierce riflemen of the Xia Kingdom, they had no power to fight back. They could only retreat at full speed.
Wang Tan, Wu Youdao, Zou Yi, and the others had already retreated.
Xia Xia's side started to give chase. Fang Yiai and Yan Three led the army and quickly chased after them. In a short period of time, they had already killed their way down Mt. Datong and continued on their way.
Du Qi saw the scene of the pursuit but didn't participate.
He was waiting on the mountain.
Du Qi had nothing to do now. He was already thinking about the next battle. Because Xia Xia's weapon was the Type 38 rifle, the situation on the battlefield would be different. It would be easier.
Especially this time, Fang Yiai came to visit Xia Xia. He brought along the craftsmen and equipment.
He could continue to make more in the future.
The strength of his weapon meant that Du Qi's strength was greater.
It was easier to wipe out the enemy.
Du Qi waited quietly. Time trickled by slowly. Around two hours later, Fang Yiai and Yan San, who had gone to chase after them, returned. The expressions on their faces were quite relaxed.
In this battle, they had achieved a complete victory.
After Fang Yiai stood still, he didn't take the initiative to speak. He looked at Yan Three and said, "General Yan, you tell him."
On the way back, the two of them had already started chatting.
It was good to get closer to each other.
Yan Three shook his head and smiled. "General Fang, go ahead. You know the details."
Fang Yi 'ai nodded and didn't say anything else. He said: "Your Highness, we won a great victory in this battle. Even though they were still counting the losses along the way, as well as the results of this battle, they were still in a daze. However, what is certain is that our gains will definitely be huge. The only pity was that the ruler of the Southern Empire, Wang Tan, had escaped. The Southern Empire's army has all fled, so we weren't able to win the battle. "
Yan Three agreed. "That's right. What a pity."
Du Qi said, "There's nothing to regret. This is only the first battle. Everything had just begun. There was no need to rush. We and the Southern Empire will not rest until we destroy them. "
Fang Yi 'ai and Yan Three nodded.
Both of them were quite excited.
This was a great opportunity to make a great contribution in a battle that would destroy a nation.
The two of them didn't say anything more and began to count the results of the battle. After another two hours, the results of the battle were counted and the two of them came to Du Qi's side. Fang Yi 'ai reported again, "Your Highness, in this battle, we've killed more than seven thousand enemies. It's just that the number of captives is less, only about five thousand captives. Our losses are only 982 men. According to the results, this battle is quite good. "
Du Qi asked, "How are the casualties of the riflemen?"
A proud expression appeared on Fang Yi 'ai's face. He said, "Your Highness, none of our riflemen died in the battle. Only about 50 of them were injured. They have all been treated. "
Gasp!
After Du Qi heard this, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
Not a single casualty.
This situation wasn't simple.
This meant that the soldiers who died in this battle were all soldiers under Yan Three's command.
Du Qi said: "Fang Yiai, this army of yours is worthy of being called a trump card."
Fang Yi 'ai had a proud expression on his face. He said, "Your Highness, His Majesty took three months to choose these 800 people. The scope of selection was the entire Xia Xia's army. Hence, to put it bluntly, this is the most elite group of soldiers in the entire Xia Xia. With their combat power, it's normal that they didn't die. "
Du Qi's heart felt warm when he heard that.
Du Ye knew how to care for others.
It wasn't easy for him to understand.
Du Qi nodded and said, "That's right. Pass down the order. Prepare to rest. Next, we will rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, we will continue to attack the Southern Empire. "
Fang Yi 'ai said, "Yes, Your Highness!"
He and Yan Three turned around and left. After all, the two of them still had many things to do. For example, they had to deal with the captives.
While the army was resting, Wang Tan, Wu Youdao, and Zou Yi retreated with the army. They didn't dare to waste any time and kept retreating. When it was almost evening and they confirmed that there were no pursuers behind them, Wang Tan stopped the army to rest.
Wang Tan had a bitter expression on his face.
They had lost this battle.
They had lost too badly.
Wang Tan was no longer in the mood to count the losses of this battle. He looked directly at Wu Youdao and said, "Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Great Xia will definitely pursue and attack us fiercely. Now that we have suffered great losses, even if we retreat to the capital of the Southern Kingdom, the Kingdom of Great Xia will not be able to defeat us. Even if we retreat, we will still be in big trouble. What do you think we should do in this battle with Xia Xia? "
Now that he had lost, he was panicking. After all, Xia Xia was too powerful.
He was very difficult to deal with.
Especially Xia Xia's weapons. They were even more unexpected.
Wu Youdao sighed and said, "Your Highness, it's my fault. I've been arranging for people to keep an eye on Xia Xia and find out about his weapons. But in the end, we still couldn't find out anything. We've already lost a lot. Previously, we only considered the power of the enemy's cannons. But we didn't expect the new weapons to be so powerful. It's too terrifying. Your Highness, I'm guilty. Please punish me. "
Wang Tan said, "At this point, there's no use in punishing you. The only thing we can do now is to think about how to deal with it next. This is the key. "
After a pause, Wang Tan said, "Prime Minister, instead of blaming yourself, why don't we use all our energy to resist Du Qi? This is the most important thing. "
Wu Youdao said, "Your Highness is wise."
Wang Tan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Prime Minister, how do you think we should resist?"
Wu Youdao thought carefully and said after a moment, "At this point, I think that with just us, even if the Southern Empire has a vast territory and many soldiers, Xia Xia's weapons are very powerful. But Xia Country's weapons are very powerful, so now we have to contact more countries to help. Only in this way can we resist Du Qi. Otherwise, we won't be able to resist him. "
Wang Tan said, "Are we going to ask for help like the Fire Nation?"
Wu Youdao sighed and said, "There's no other way. We can only ask for help. Moreover, we need to publicize the power of Du Qi's weapons and let everyone know that Du Qi is invincible. In this way, we'll have a chance to win if the other countries send troops. "
Wang Tan said, "Then let's do that."
Wu Youdao said some other things to take note of. The army rested for two hours and then set off overnight to return to the Southern Empire's capital.
