If it cannot be defended, the city must be defended.
While sighing, Dempsey gradually came up with some solutions:
"We can't defend the city walls and gates. The target is too big, and we lack the means to deal with other people's artillery. For now, we can only take the initiative to attack and see if we can make a strange move. Find a suitable time to use The method of surprise attack destroys the opponent's artillery."
His staff officer smiled wryly, and said: "My lord general, there are powerful white wolf cavalry in his team, which is famous all over Schindler, not to mention that he has eyes in the sky. What kind of team should we send to avoid the opponent's detection, and then escape the bite and block of the wolf cavalry?"
Dempsey spread his hands: "Then let them bombard outside?"
The staff officer was speechless.
Dempsey continued: "If you die, you have to send someone there. Let's try it. Send two cavalry teams to go there. Maybe we can return victorious."
…
It was getting late, and a cavalry team of about three or four hundred people sneaked out of the city from the north gate of Tiedinggang.
In order to avoid the surveillance of the griffin cavalry in the sky, the cavalry team selected by Dempsey specially waited until after dark before moving. They didn't even light the torches, and the whole movement was very secretive. After they left the city from the north, they did not immediately turn to the location of the artillery positions in the south, but went around a little bit, trying to find a location that was more suitable for a surprise attack.
After running for two or three kilometers, it felt almost the same, and the commander of the cavalry began to order to turn.
At night, it is definitely impossible for cavalry to speed up and run, especially when they dare not even turn on any lighting, it is easy to cause accidents. They could only maintain a speed similar to that of infantry, and followed a warlock who set off with them, using spells to guide them towards the previously selected position on the map where they could conduct a surprise attack.
After settling down, the whole army rested for a while, and the officers and warlocks made the final direction comparison. At this time, it was almost past nine o'clock in the evening. Next, as long as the general leading the team gives an order, all the cavalry will light up the torches, and the warlock will also release lighting spells. Put down the alchemy explosives around the artillery positions of the Dayne Legion, and then just wait and watch the big fireworks.
Of course, these are just plans. Since it is a plan, there will be times when things go wrong.
For example now.
A few cavalrymen on the outskirts vaguely saw a miserable green light flashing in the darkness.
"Did you see it?" one of the cavalrymen asked softly, his voice trembling slightly.
"Look, look... I saw it." The companion next to him didn't realize anything at first.
"What do you think that is?"
"Wolf eyes." He still didn't think there was anything wrong. It was normal for wolves to exist in the wilderness, but ordinary wolves, or small wolf packs, would definitely not dare to provoke the human beings who were marching together.
But the person who asked the question at the beginning was obviously not that dull. He screamed out: "Wolf eyes?! That's the wolf cavalry from White Wolf Castle!"
As soon as the sound came out, the whole army was in commotion, but it was already too late.
Scratching... The next moment, a dozen large balls of light appeared in midair, and under the effect of the light spell, the figures of the Iron Nailed Cavalry, who were already slightly in a commotion, were completely exposed!
This time, the formation of the army became even more chaotic. The cavalry general who didn't know what happened didn't even have time to issue any orders. He saw his subordinates flustered, and many of them left the formation directly, patted their horses and began to run, chaotically panicking in all directions. No.
"Stop! Stop! Make up the team!" He ignored the warlocks following the army to continue the discussion, and shouted loudly, trying to control the troops.
All in vain!
Then, a series of howling wolves sounded!
When the wolf is silently enduring, the silence is terrible, but when it is attacking, the mournful howl is enough to make any enemy frightened!
The symphony composed of howling wolves, the strange howls of wolf cavalry, and the miserable cries of iron nail post cavalry lasted for less than an hour in the dark night. At half past ten, this sudden outbreak of battle was completely over.
The surprise attack failed, but the position was calculated accurately. The iron nail post cavalry who was ambushed, a team of three or four hundred people, was completely defeated within an hour.
In the middle of the night, there was no way to clean up the battlefield and count the results of the battle, but after the incident, Delin, who personally led two brigades and nearly 600 wolf cavalry to fight the battle, reported to Dane that this The battle basically achieved the complete annihilation of the enemy.
After that, he also ordered the wolf cavalry to light up torches, and quickly sealed off the surroundings of the north and south gates of Tiedinggang. Even if some iron nail post cavalry escaped by chance during the battle, they would never return to the city.
All of this was seen by Dempsey who was standing at the top of the city at night.
At night, with a distance of more than a thousand meters, Dempsey had no way to distinguish the specific situation of the battlefield, but he also knew that the cavalry team he sent must be completely finished.
The staff officer's hands and feet were cold, but that was a whole brigade of cavalry, and it was all over like this? He looked at the general with an uncertain expression.
As if feeling the mood of his staff officer, Dempsey turned his head and said, "I don't expect much, right?"
The chief of staff let out a long breath: "Then what should we do now?"
"Go back to the city. Today they bombarded the city walls with artillery for a day, and they will start marching tomorrow anyway. We don't want the city walls and gates, let them. Get all the soldiers ready, and tomorrow we will fight them Street fighting! Every street and every house, we must fight the enemy to the end, and we will never allow retreat until the last drop of blood is shed!"
This is the final battle decision of Overseer Dempsey!
The city walls dare not defend, because they cannot resist the enemy's artillery. But the city can't let it go. Entering the urban environment with complex terrain, the most famous wolf cavalry team in Dane's army can't show its ability. And Dempsey still held more than 3,000 Confused City infantry from the north, relying on the complex urban environment, fought bloody battles with the enemy, and fought for every inch of land. He couldn't believe that he couldn't stop Dane!
On the second day, the sound of artillery awakened the world earlier than the rising sun. After shelling for a whole morning and knocking down many sections of the city wall of Tiedinggang, at noon, the army from White Wolf Castle finally mobilized and rushed into the city.
Just as Dempsey had arranged, at the gaps in the city walls, at the dilapidated city gates that were knocked down by the mages in two or three strokes, the army of Iron Spike Hill did not organize any decent troops at all. defense. After a symbolic resistance, the city walls and gates were surrendered.
Then, there is the brutal street fighting. (To be continued.)
