On the twenty-ninth, it was another day for Dempsey to be frightened.
During the whole day, Dane's army was completely silent, without any movement. And he intends to send out some troops to test it out, but he dare not, for fear that he will be caught and crushed again like before. He has nowhere to run now.
At this moment, Dempsey didn't know what to say about the conflict in his heart.
Contrary to him, Dane was in a good mood.
After reading the battle report handed over from Gnar, he said: "Patience and Delin have done a good job. When they come back with Arnold's head, we can launch a full-scale attack with peace of mind and strive for a full blown effort." , Just kill that guy Dempsey!"
Gnar said: "It is said that General Patience can lead the troops of the second regiment to block the gate of the city. We will attack from the inside of the city. Under the attack from inside and outside, we will not worry about destroying Dempsey's army."
"No, I don't plan to do that." Dane said, "With Arnold's head and the news of the destruction of the reinforcements, we can directly destroy the enemy's will to fight to a large extent. But if we block all of their If there is no way out, then Dempsey will definitely fight us desperately if he has no way out."
"Could he still beat us?" Gnar asked. He was asking this question purely as a way of asking for advice. After the misunderstanding incident last time, he now admires his boss's calculations and cruelty, and he is completely overwhelmed.
Since he intends to cultivate Gnar, Dane doesn't mind explaining to him about these things: "Yes, they can't beat us. But how much can a group of dying soldiers bring us?" Have you ever counted the losses? Of course, my soldiers are not afraid of casualties, but I can't let them die meaninglessly. It is obviously meaningless to fight to the death with an enemy that is sure to be defeated. "
Gnar nodded, understanding.
Indeed, as Dane said, it is really not a wise choice to fight with an army that is doomed to fail.
However, this does not mean that Dane intends to let Dempsey's more than a thousand people go.
…
On the 30th, more than a hundred of Arnold's troops were routed and put into the city.
Of course, Dane did it on purpose. At his request, Patience personally led hundreds of wolf cavalry to chase after these routs. They didn't care if they ran into the city, and they couldn't escape the wolf cavalry if they fled in any other direction. Knife.
These broken soldiers who were driven into the city had a fatal impact on the morale of Dempsey's army.
Among the troops of hundreds of thousands, of course there are warriors who don't want to retreat until death, but there are also those who don't want to send their lives to this desperate land.
Before, at least there was such a reason to stand firm and wait for help, allowing them to retain a glimmer of hope in the arduous battle. Today, the reinforcements have all been wiped out, and even the body of the general who led the reinforcements, Arnold himself, was hung on a cross and hung on the top of the city. This glimmer of hope has been shattered, so what's the point of sticking to it
Dempsey himself didn't know what it meant. When he received the news of the Legion's demise, he was already in despair.
So, when Colonel Hammer suggested to him, "Lord Overseer, let's... let's withdraw our troops." He directly chose to agree without any hesitation.
So, on the night of the 30th, Dane received news that Dempsey's army had taken the initiative to attack.
"The old fox is about to run away." Dane said with a smile to Patience who had just returned to his side and reported the battle situation.
"It's expected." Patience said, "Let them go out?"
"Hmm. Gnar! Gnar!"
"My lord, I am here."
"Order the First Wing to attack and eat their rear troops. Then don't rush to chase them out, let them leave with peace of mind. The goal of the First Wing is to give me control of the whole city and take all the troops in the city. Threats and resistance are all wiped out for me. I will leave this matter to Gebu."
"What about me?" Patience asked.
"Come with me and take the Second Wing out for a stroll. Dempsey thought he could escape? How naive!"
Dane refused to let the first unit pursue and let Dempsey leave. That was not a show of kindness, and he wanted to let the enemy survive. On the contrary, he was urging Dempsey to step further into the abyss of death.
Relying on his own defensive line in the south of the city, Dempsey could at least last for a while under Dane's offensive. Even if his entire army was wiped out, Dane would have to pay a considerable price in casualties. But this time out of the city, in the desolate and uninhabited wilderness, want to run? Are Dane's wolf cavalry and night saber cavalry just for show? !
Not to mention Dane's cavalry unit, as far as the mobility of Dempsey's army is concerned, whether they can escape from the pursuit of the sword dancer unit is a problem!
Without wasting much time, Dane and Patience quickly made a detour out of the city. When the two of them merged with the second unit outside the city that had just defeated Arnold's Army a few days ago, the Griffin Squad flying in the sky just sent the news that Dempsey had left the city.
"Do you want to go out?" Patience asked.
"Don't worry, just take a break, and we'll chase after dawn."
When he said this, Dane was full of confidence, as if it didn't matter if he let Dempsey run all night first.
It didn't matter at all.
As the sky dawned, the Second Wing's army of nearly 2,000 people was ready to go. Dane, who was riding on a wolf, headed north first, and then the horn sounded, and the whole army was dispatched.
Dempsey ran very fast. After leaving behind the troops at Iron Spike Hill, he ran out for nearly 20 kilometers in one night. Moreover, according to the latest information, after dawn, they had been running all night, but they still did not rest and continued to escape.
But so what? In terms of mobility, Dane's second unit is really not boasting!
On the evening of November 2nd, the 600 wolf cavalry led by Dane had already bit Dempsey's ass.
Dempsey's regiment, which has escaped from the city for two days and marched hastily for two days, although the soldiers are considered elite, it is impossible to maintain the integrity of the team all the time. Along the way, Dane's wolf cavalry had captured many stragglers, and mercilessly beheaded all of these captured enemies under the scimitar.
Now, the situation facing Dempsey's army is very embarrassing. (To be continued.)
