Chapter 865 - 409: Sad Zhi Li! When the wall falls, everyone pushes!
Suo Lun’s gaze was directed toward Turing Chen, while the latter’s gaze was fixed on Princess Zhi Yan.
Turing Chen’s demeanor was not one of humility but rather one of arrogance.
"This first battle today, we indeed suffered a devastating defeat," Turing Chen said. "However, there is different news coming from Tianlang Pass."
Suo Lun said, "I saw that too. Jian Ze suddenly dispatched a force of one hundred thousand, attacking Tianlang Pass continuously, and he actually managed to breach it."
Turing Chen asked, "Lord Suo Lun, what is that new weapon of yours called?"
"Cannons," Suo Lun replied.
"Cannons? A good name indeed!" Turing Chen continued. "Its power is significant, yet it isn’t. Due to the long intervals between each firing, it is an invincible killer at sea, but on land, it seems..."
Indeed, if the battle strategy of throwing waves of soldiers was used, the effectiveness of the cannons would be greatly diminished.
Turing Chen continued, "Lord Suo Lun’s forces are mostly mercenaries. These men are undoubtedly skilled in combat, but their fighting will is much too weak. Thus, in terms of fighting capability, they probably are not as good as the Dragon Guard Legion, nor as the various feudal elite forces."
