Originally, the defenders of Mihe City still had a few thousand men who could persist in the fight. If there was a unified command, they could retreat back into the city and fight another street battle with Dane. But that requires the central nervous system of an army to be able to have a very strong control over the legions under its command.
But now, the central nervous system of Mihe City was removed by Dane himself, where did they get the command
Therefore, insisting on street fighting has become impossible
With morale declining and lack of command, the defenders of Mihe City were continuously compressed into the city. Finally, when one army after another was defeated, a complete rout came.
A large number of troops began to abandon their duty to continue fighting and began to flee. In the process of fleeing, many people were killed by Dane's soldiers who followed up, and this further aroused the speed at which the defenders of Mihe City collapsed. Some of the soldiers who survived by luck hid in the city while escaping, and some fled out of the city in a hurry, and the most people chose to surrender when Dane's men caught up.
The surrender of the established system occurred on a large scale that night.
Dane, who came down from the battlefield, felt a little tired. He thought that after the capture of the city had become a certainty, he could have a good night's rest, but he didn't expect that this night just taking prisoners would make him very busy.
In the end, Dane, who was really too lazy to deal with these things, directly dumped all the work to his legion commander Patience, his adjutant Gnar, and the next group of officers. Had a good sleep.
No one complained about the behavior of their lord. Dane's prestige on weekdays is second to none. The most important thing is that whoever can personally lead the team to complete a beheading of the enemy guards, and take the lead in leading the soldiers to rush to the front line, then no one will What would be said of such a man taking a break after the war.
Dane was really tired.
When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.
When Dane woke up, he felt much better. While eating the marching rations brought up by the guards, he asked Gnar, who hurried over when he heard him wake up, "What's the situation in the city now?"
"We won a big victory!" Gnar gave a very positive judgment without hesitation.
Dane nodded: "I know there will definitely be a big victory, what's the specific situation?"
Nard said: "Due to the rush of time, we have no way to calculate the exact results of the battle in a short time. However, the main force of the enemy has been wiped out, and a small number of enemy troops have escaped from the city, or are hiding in some dark places. Most of the others were either killed by us or taken as prisoners. Now, the only thing that can be accurately reported is the number of prisoners we took in. At least 3,000 of the defenders of Mihe City finally surrendered to We surrendered, and the city prison has no way to detain so many people, so we can only requisition some other relatively strong buildings to serve as temporary detention places."
For such a situation, Dane is quite satisfied. He nodded and took a sip of water. The dry food for the march was a bit too dry, and he ate it too fast, almost choking him.
After going down in one breath, he praised: "Good job."
Gnar smiled and said: "It's still because our offensive is too fierce. The enemy is completely unprepared that the city wall will fall when we attack the city for the first time. The preparations for street fighting in advance are not sufficient. In addition, boss You went off in person, showing off your might, even Heka Tim was killed by you, what else can they struggle for?"
"En." Dane nodded, remembering two more questions, and asked, "How about our casualties? Has the city been cleared?"
Hearing Dane ask this question, Gnar put away his smile: "The situation of clearing the city is relatively good. Although there are still occasional sporadic battles, most of the city has been controlled by us. , there are only some small-scale enemy troops who are not in the climate, and they are still defending in certain areas, relying on streets and buildings. Most of these people are gathered spontaneously by some routs who have not escaped from the city, and they are not in the climate. According to According to General Patience, we only need two days at most to completely clean up the city."
"As for casualties..."
Having said that, Nelton paused.
Dane raised his brows, and said impatiently: "If you ask me, you can just tell the truth. What are you talking about? Come on, tell me, how many people have we killed or injured? Don't worry, your boss will bear it." Very capable!"
Hearing what Dane said, Gnar no longer hesitated. I just heard him say: "Our casualties are relatively serious. Almost a thousand soldiers were injured or killed. However, the good news is that some of the wounded soldiers can return to the battlefield after treatment. .”
Casualties on the scale of thousands of people made Dane frowned.
The number of casualties is a bit high.
Gnar continued to say: "Most of the casualties of our troops came from the strong attack on the city wall. In order to maintain the offensive, most of the troops rushed upwards uninterrupted, even regardless of casualties. Braving the arrow rain Going forward with the enemy's artillery and rushing to the top of the city, due to the disadvantaged terrain, the battle for the city wall was not particularly easy to fight. It was not until the boss charged up with those elf knights that the situation was completely reversed. At that time , Our loss has reached almost a thousand people. As for the subsequent process of defeating the enemy and chasing after entering the city, we did not lose many people."
"Hey..." Dane sighed, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, I see, go get busy, I'll come out after a while."
Seeing Gnar leave and leave, Dane felt somewhat depressed.
It is not easy to train a thousand soldiers. How can Dane not feel heartbroken with such an injury
However, this is also impossible. In fact, earlier, when he decided to attack the city forcefully, he was already mentally prepared to suffer a lot of casualties.
Attacking the city wall head-on would of course have to pay a price. In fact, with the strength of the two sides being similar, it is already considered a lucky thing to lose only these manpower in one battle.
In fact, if there is a choice, why doesn't Dane want to take it slowly? The reason for taking such a big risk and bearing such a loss is all for the sake of the overall situation.
He can slowly map it under the city of Mihe, but the war in the northern ice cave city cannot be stopped as he wishes. (To be continued.)
