When Dane led the army and entered the city without hindrance, he guessed what Dempsey was thinking.
Obviously, Dempsey's army showed no signs of retreating.
Last night, the griffin cavalry scattered and hovered, aware of the enemy's cavalry, and then, the cruising elf sentry with night vision ability notified the enemy's route all the way, after guessing the location where the opponent was about to launch an attack, they directly dispatched that team The cavalry annihilated. This battle has vividly demonstrated the all-round reconnaissance capabilities of Dane's troops.
Under such circumstances, if the opponent wants to retreat, it is impossible for the actions of a large number of soldiers to hide from Dane's investigation.
The enemy did not suffer too many casualties. Although their cavalry troops suffered a disastrous defeat, at best they lost three or four hundred people. As for, although they suffered some casualties after being bombarded by artillery for a day and a half, Dempsey would not be so stupid as to let soldiers go to the top of the city wall to be bombarded by the enemy. Can be called 'sporadic'.
With the main force unscathed, and giving up the city wall so generously, it is clear at a glance what Dempsey wants to do.
Dane felt that the guard in the city was quite smart this time. When the defensive firepower is obviously inferior to that of the attacker's firepower and troops, it is a stupid general's choice to stick to the city gate.
The battle for the street will definitely not be easy, this is what Dane predicted before the battle.
He decided to be more cautious.
Several mages accompanying the army used the wind message technique to pass on Dane's new order to the officers at all levels on the battlefield: "After entering the city, temporarily stop advancing!"
He planned to stabilize his position for the time being, and not to rush to continue the attack, but to hold the south-facing city gate and city wall firmly in his hands, and slowly eat away at the inside at every step. Although, it seems that it is not as fast as directly attacking the whole city with the whole army. However, when the main force of the enemy is still there and the strength is sufficient, a reckless advance may instead suffer a head-on blow.
Dane didn't want to capsize in the gutter.
Near the city gate, Dane's troops captured a place that used to be a carriage house. He and Patience were holding the freshly baked city map of Nail Hill, discussing the next attack plan.
The carriage house that was emptied out is now used by them as a temporary battlefield command base. As for the map in front of the two of them, it was a new map generated in Dane's map module after Cyber flew around in the sky before, and then he drew it freehand.
Dane's drawing skills were so-so. Of course, the maps he drew were not as good as professional cartographers. Many places were so drawn that people couldn't help but laugh. However, when it comes to accuracy, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone in this world to match him.
Holding several paintbrushes of different colors, the two looked at the troops that had already entered the city on the city map, and assigned each team's marching route and capture target. Arrows, amidst the discussions between the two, filled the entire map in a short while.
But plans can never keep up with change.
During the battle of Iron Spike Hill, apart from sending a cavalry team to die outside the city, Dempsey, who had been a coward for two or three days, obviously didn't really plan to passively avoid the battle to the end.
"My lord, my lord!" Gnar hurried over from the door. This young man, who had already been promoted to the rank of major, was the one who was promoted the fastest among all the soldiers under Dane's influence. Back then, he was just an ordinary soldier of the Horror Mercenary Corps. After Komyrya introduced the first batch of female slaves as commoners, he was quite a 'chicken thief' and found a wife.
Later, after several fierce battles, his performance was unexpectedly outstanding. When Dane took control of the White Wolf Castle, he was promoted to be an officer of the White Wolf Guard of the First Wing not long after. During the defense battle of Shahaiwan Port, he led the troops to stand firm under the onslaught of the Gusha Group, so he was favored by Dane.
In the past, Delin served as the adjutant next to Dane. However, after Delin was released by Dane to serve as the captain, it seemed a little inappropriate for him to be an adjutant. Delin himself could not have so much energy.
At this time, the young man Gnar entered Dane's field of vision.
During the time of the Horror Mercenary Corps, Gnar was a person Dane was very familiar with. He seemed to be quite talented, and he was also a member of his own family. Dane really meant to cultivate him, but besides him Such an adjutant is missing. So I simply recruited them back and stayed by my side to help deal with some things. At the same time, I can also cultivate a sense of the overall situation and see if I can cultivate an excellent talent. When I mature, I will find a suitable opportunity. Let it go out, that is another general who can stand on his own.
However, it's still too early to tell. For Gnar, this is the first time he has been in a non-front-line combat job in a war, and he needs to use his own strategic thinking to consider, no longer like before. , passively accept orders and complete his own tasks, this is his ultimate consideration.
Originally, when Dane and Patience were discussing the attack plan against Iron Spike Hill, they had told Gnar to try not to disturb her. Originally, Gnar was obediently carrying out Dane's orders, blocking several waves of officers who were about to be overwhelmed and ready to call for battle.
However, Gnar felt that it was necessary for him to let the lord and the legion commander know about this matter as soon as possible.
When Dane asked him what was the matter with his eyes, he took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then spoke the news he had just received in a steady Chinese.
"Lord." Gnar used to call Dane 'boss' in the past. In fact, he still calls him that in private. However, in public, he will still abide by the rules and call the lord the lord: "Words have come from several units of the Second Wing that we are under attack."
"From inside the city?"
"yes."
"It's very strong?"
"No, it's not that big."
There was already a look of dissatisfaction on Dane's face: "Not big? Won't the officers below solve it by themselves?"
Gnar's face turned slightly pale, but not everyone could remain so indifferent when Dane showed an angry expression.
His tone became tense, but he still finished what he wanted to say smoothly: "I think this is an omen." (To be continued.)
