Chapter 691 - 342: Turing Tuo suffers a crushing defeat!
Turing Tuo’s tenacity, or rather obstinacy, truly surpassed Suo Lun’s imagination by far.
After receiving a slap from Suo Lun, he still showed no intention of backing down and insisted on marching towards Tianlang Pass.
The aerial raid last night, though it didn’t cause significant casualties for Turing Tuo, was at least a huge warning.
It warned Turing Tuo that Suo Lun had gunpowder at his disposal, which could change the dynamics of the war. Although Turing Tuo had an army of two hundred thousand, it was hard to tell who would fall once the battle started.
Yet Turing Tuo still had no intention of retreating.
Facing Turing Tuo’s stubbornness, Suo Lun and the others had to hold another meeting.
The topic of discussion was whether they should fight and whether they could actually win.
After many simulations, the result remained the same: if they truly went to battle, the chances of victory were around forty to fifty percent.
Moreover, even if they won, the victory would be pyrrhic and would greatly disadvantage the subsequent annexation of the Southeast Province.
This was because the quantity of gunpowder was simply insufficient, and Tianlang Pass was rather narrow, preventing the deployment of things like the Super-Giant Stone Projectors.
The only thing that could be effective was fire oil warfare!
