Chapter: 3297
And besides, he had brought a total of over 5,000 soldiers with him, with almost 2,000 casualties from the two-wave charge. Wanlong Palace lost over 1,500 people, and their actual combat strength had lost at least half!
More seriously, after two waves of attacks, his soldiers had already clearly realized that relying on blood and flesh to attack Hamid's defensive works was almost impossible. Witnessing the two waves of attacks, with so many comrades falling, each individual had already filled their hearts with fear of attacking.
At this point, morale was extremely low. If he forced them to organize a third wave of attack, besides sending men to their deaths, there would be no other significance.
Therefore, he knew very clearly that this time he was absolutely unable to capture Hamid again.
So, he immediately reported the battlefield situation to his superiors and requested permission to withdraw his troops for rest.
When his superiors heard about the battle situation, they were furious!
The consecutive victories over recent days had already filled him with expectations of clearing up the opposition, and he was determined that this goal could be achieved quickly.
But who could have thought that suddenly, reality gave himself a shock.
A war, even before the enemy could see it, had already caused over 3,000 deaths on their side, which was truly unacceptable.
What was even harder to understand was that Lu Zhan Army's person, who led these two million Wanlong Palace soldiers and achieved consecutive victories, in the eyes of these native commanding officers, was simply an invincible war god.
But who could have thought that this super war god would say they were dead...
Enraged, he immediately sent this message to Chen Zhonglei, one of the four war kings of Wan Shen Temple.
At that moment, Chen Zhonglei was waiting in Damascus for a feedback on the outcome of the four battlefronts of Wanlong Palace, and suddenly received news of Lu Zhan Army's death. He couldn't believe it until he saw the video footage taken by reconnaissance troops sent to him, and then he had no choice but to accept this reality.
A small-scale siege war had resulted in the deaths of over 1,500 brothers and one five-star general, which was unprecedented since the founding of Wanlong Palace.
Chen Zhonglei couldn't understand why an anti-government armed group that occupied the mountain could have such powerful fighting force. He felt that this was extremely unusual, so he didn't dare to delay and immediately made a phone call to prepare to report this event to the palace lord of Wanlong Palace, Wan Ba Jun.
Meanwhile, Wan Ba Jun was having dinner at Su's family mansion with Su Chengfu, sipping wine and chatting happily.
Although Su Chengfu looked dignified as the head of the Su family, he was actually a sycophant who was eager to please. He had a high level of skills and knowledge.
Originally, Wan Ba Jun had some reservations about this old man, considering his father's past. If it weren't for his dignity in front of Su Shoudao, Wan Ba Jun might not have wanted to eat with him or drink wine with him.
But the old man started flattering and praising from the moment he sat down, which initially made Wan Ba Jun seem calm and composed, but soon he began to feel uneasy.
For someone like Wan Ba Jun who had been suppressing his emotions for many years, this kind of situation was very repressed deep within.
The more people like him, the more they need an opportunity to release their pent-up emotions, and the more they need others to recognize their abilities and give them affirmation.
So, when he found out that the former family head Su Chengfu, who had never dared to take a breath in front of his father, would actually coddle and flatter him to the extreme, he felt extremely satisfied deep within. Unlike Wan Ba Jun, this time's Su Chengfu was already filled with shame.
He had never knelt down to anyone since he was young, and after middle age, he became even more revered by the masses.
However, who could have thought that he, who had been proud for a lifetime, would actually coddle someone in their 20s.
This feeling was very hurtful to his self-esteem, but he couldn't help continuing to maintain this flattering face because he desperately needed Wan Ba Jun's help to solve the current series of problems. JrNovels.com
