Heart of Empire Chapter 334: Responsibilities of an Adjutant
When Dane led the army and entered the city without hindrance, he guessed what Dempsey was thinking. [Full text reading]
Obviously, Dempsey's army showed no signs of retreating.
Last night, the griffin cavalry scattered and circled and noticed the enemy's cavalry. Then, the cruising elf sentry with night vision ability notified the enemy's route all the way. That group of cavalry was wiped out. 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 much casualties either. 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 the city wall being so generously given up, it is clear at a glance what Dempsey wants to do.
Dyne felt that the guard in the city this time was quite smart. 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 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 intends to stabilize his position for the time being, and is not in a hurry to continue the attack. Instead, he will hold the city gate and city wall facing south firmly in his hands, and slowly eat away at the inside. 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 are not so good. Of course, the maps he draws are not as good as professional cartographers. 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 never keep up with change.
During the battle of Iron Spike Hill, apart from sending a troop of cavalry to die outside the city before, Dempsey, who had been a coward for two or three days, obviously didn't really intend to passively avoid the battle to the end .
"My lord, my lord!" Gnar hurried over from outside the door. This young man who had already got the rank of major was the fastest promoted among all the soldiers under Dane's power. a guy. Back then, he was just an ordinary soldier of the Horror Mercenary Corps. After Comilla introduced the first batch of female slaves as commoners, he also found a wife quite like a "chicken thief".
Later, after several fierce battles, his performance was unexpectedly outstanding. When Dane took control of the White Wolf Fort, he was promoted to be an officer of the White Wolf Guard of the First Wing not long after. , and during the defense battle of Shahai Bay Port, he led the troops to hold their ground 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.
Gnar was a person Dane was very familiar with when he was in the Horror Mercenary Corps. I don't have such an adjutant by my side. 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 is still too early to say all this. 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 It's just like before, just 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, regarding the current matter, Gnar felt that it was necessary for him to let the lord and the legion commander know as soon as possible.
When Dane asked him what was the matter with his eyes~IndoMTL.com~ he took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then spoke the news he had just received in a steady Chinese.
"Lord Lord." Gnar used to call Dane 'Boss' in the past. In fact, he still calls Dane that way now in private. However, in public, he will still abide by the rules. Address the lord: "Several units of the Second Wing have news that we are under attack."
"From inside the city?"
"Yes."
"A lot of strength?"
"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 a sign." (To be continued.)
