"Some people are happy, and some people must be sad, or angry, especially in this state of wartime confrontation.
At least, compared to the relaxed atmosphere at Han Sanqian's side, the crowd in black was collectively silent.
In Nuo Da¡¯s tent, a group of people sat there without saying a word.
The special envoy and the six colleagues who participated in the war lowered their heads in shame.
"How many troops did we lose in tonight's battle?"
In the front, above the main hall, the elder was sitting there. His voice was not loud, but it still put invisible pressure on everyone present.
But they can understand if the elders are like this.
¡°After all, they brought so many people and created such a huge advantage. As a result, they were played by others in the first battle. In the second battle, they gathered a large number of troops and combined their efforts, but ended in a disastrous defeat again.
??Don¡¯t say that the elders are angry, even if they are not angry, they themselves feel extremely shameless.
"Speak." The elder raised his voice.
"Reporting to the elders, we lost 30,000 soldiers and horses in this battle. Among them, about 10,000 were killed by Han Sanqian's counterattack, and about 20,000 were killed by the landslide on the battlefield."
Thirty thousand people were killed in the battle. Is it terrible?
For an army of 1.8 million, it is just a drop in the bucket and not terrible.
However, if you compare the enemy's battle damage and number of people horizontally, it is terrifying enough.
The enemy only sent out one person and injured more than 30,000 of them. This has nothing to do with anything else. It is completely difficult to survive in terms of face and dignity alone.
"Elder, this time it was a subordinate's dereliction of duty and improper command that caused such casualties. Please punish me."
The special envoy hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up.
He is commanding this battle anyway, so naturally he is most responsible for the failure of the battle.
"We participated in the war together and failed to restrain Han Sanqian well, which resulted in the current consequences. We are also willing to be punished together."
The other six colleagues also knelt down.
Seeing this, the special envoy hurriedly said: "Elder, this matter is none of their business. Everything is commanded by me alone. Naturally, if the battle is defeated, I alone will be responsible."
¡°Several colleagues helped me a lot, and they have merit but no fault.¡±
"Elder, what the special envoy said is wrong. Since we fight together, naturally, we will also bear the responsibility for any mistakes in the battle."
"good!"
"That's enough!" the elder shouted angrily, and he was extremely angry: "I'm really being noisy to death by you guys. What's going on with your words and my words?"
Seven people were scolded and collectively silenced.
"I just don't understand it."
"Elder, please calm down." The confidant said softly.
The elder nodded slightly and took a long breath.
Immediately afterwards, he slowly spoke: "I am very dissatisfied with the result of this battle. Everyone, this shouldn't be like this."
"Although elders, special envoys and others are at fault, the ground collapse this time is really strange. In fact, losing 30,000 people against South Korea is not an unacceptable thing, but 20,000 people died in the landslide. This is simply Some" the confidant continued.
The elder raised his eyes and looked at the special envoy: "The landslide is indeed very strange. You are in the center of the battlefield, can you find any clues?"
The special envoy shook his head: "The landslide is indeed very strange. It started one meter away from the city wall, spread crazily and continued to extend to the trenches that day. The area is huge and shocking."
If we had not retreated as soon as possible, more people would have fallen into the landslide, and the casualties would have been far greater.
"To tell you the truth, my subordinate, it looks like it was a natural disaster. After all, to cause the ground to collapse artificially, you have to dig out the ground first, and only then will such an effect occur. But you also know that Han Sanqian cannot have so much free space. There are so many people who can do this, especially if it¡¯s done right under our noses.¡±
"Elder, what the special envoy said does make sense, but to be honest, this matter may seem like a natural disaster, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, nothing seems to be right."
¡°I feel the same way, mainly because it¡¯s such a coincidence, and it¡¯s really too far-fetched to explain it solely by natural disasters.¡±
"I also agree. We know the terrain of Yetian City better than anyone else. The soil underneath is very hard. How could it collapse easily?"
The elder also nodded: "I also agree with you, but the question is, if it is man-made, I would like to ask, who did it?"
