Heart of Empire Chapter 351: Central Square
Leading the troops to break through the grid on Cecum Street, and began to lead the team to further clean up Cecum Street. After all, in addition to the main street, Cecum Street also has some small lanes and houses.
However, this is not a problem. The further clearing of Cecum Street did not encounter any more obstacles. After half an hour of fierce fighting with Vaigl's troops, he spent another half an hour , combed the entire street, and basically occupied it completely.
This battle has consumed a lot of his troops.
For the crossbowmen at the back, it's okay to say that the enemy troops stationed on Cecum Street are relatively weak in long-range strikes, and the countermeasures against them are very small. Except for a few people who were shot to death, basically No damage. On the contrary, the White Wolf Guards, which had been rushing forward to play forward, suffered a lot of casualties, and the squadron that took the lead was almost completely wiped out.
A small part of them were killed or injured in the battles with those local troops, and most of the losses came from the fierce battles with the infantry of the Lost City.
This army led by Vaiger is really a hard bone, and it is very difficult to chew. At the end of the fight, knowing that they would be defeated, those soldiers rushed up one by one like crazy, never ending their lives. At the end of the fight, when it was clear that the defeat had been decided, Gebu Leng didn't see many Confused City infantry who chose to retreat except for those local troops who ran away.
Three hundred people were almost crushed here, and only then did the white wolf guards who took the initiative to attack cancel a squadron.
Gebu looked back at the already dilapidated Cecum Street, and looked at the **** hell-like battlefield, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He was quite impressed by the fierce resistance of Vaigl's troops.
After clearing the remaining forces on Cechang Street, he originally planned to ask his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, but now it seems that there is no need for it—the battlefield has been fought like that, it really is not a short time and a half It can be cleaned up later, wait for the follow-up troops to come up, there will be more people, or simply wait until the end of the war.
He did not continue to advance with the legion, but began to garrison in place. Although casualties are not considered to be traumatic, but things like war are not only life and money that are used as consumables, but also the physical strength of soldiers.
A larger-scale battle may last a whole day, and although the battle to capture Cecum Street was not long, only half an hour, it was more intense than a battle that lasted all day Much stronger. Soldiers are fighting the enemy on the front line almost all the time. After this kind of high-intensity fighting, the soldiers will consume a lot of energy, both mentally and physically. It is an unwise choice to rush to continue marching forward at such a time.
What's more, he didn't need to be so anxious. He was not the only one who led the troops to attack the various defensive points of Iron Nail Hill. Captured Cecum Street, cleared a road leading to the city center of Tiedinggang, and firmly controlled it in his own hands. This was his task, and he had already completed it.
…
At night, Dane rode a wolf through Cecum Street.
Under the icy moonlight, looking at the scene here, he touched his nose, and the smell that couldn't be removed was still so disgusting.
He said to Patience beside him: "This Cecum Street should be the worst battle fought in the nail hill all day today."
Patience nodded, also acknowledging this point.
Although, in the Battle of Cecum Street, the combined casualties of the enemy and the enemy were 'only' about six or seven hundred people, but six or seven hundred people died in the open area, which is why there are so many corpses piled up in this narrow and long street The visual impact is completely different. What's more, the scene of a complete corpse and a scene full of corpses and pieces of flesh and blood are two different things.
You don't need to watch it yourself, Dane can imagine how fierce the Battle of Cecum Street was just by looking at the battlefield that has been cleaned a little bit.
Fortunately, it was Iron Nail Hill's troops who suffered the most. Their own white wolf guards lost less than a hundred people.
Passing through Cechang Street, there is a restaurant in front of you.
The location of this restaurant is the city square of Tiedinggang, which is the center of the city. On the opposite side of the restaurant, there is a four-story building with a relatively large area and a garden enclosed by a wall. It is the town hall of Tiedinggang.
The town hall was supposed to be the last building in Iron Spike Heights, but it has been burnt beyond recognition. Originally, Dempsey's command post was set here, but about two hours ago, in the evening, he abandoned this command post and set a big fire, giving way to the central square of the city. Dane withdrew with the main force.
The fire in the city hall was just brought under control by Dane's troops. Now, looking from the restaurant to the city hall, you can still see sporadic fires.
But no matter what, compared to Cecum Street, this city center square is really much cleaner. After all, this is the place that Dempsey voluntarily vacated, and no fighting broke out.
Cecum Street was the worst battle, but it wasn't the only one.
During the day, Dane's army was divided into several groups~IndoMTL.com~ led by officers at the level of the regimental captain and the senior captain, they launched a fierce attack on various key points of Iron Spike Hill. Dempsey's army—especially the direct troops brought by Dempsey from the north—resisted very tenaciously, but limited by the impact of the complete annihilation of Anka's commandos, Dempsey's troops were mobilized and there were many problems. Problems, so that they were still defeated by the advancing Dane Army.
In the evening, after more than a dozen defensive points from the outer circle to the middle circle of Tiedinggang were breached, Dempsey finally gave up the defense. He began to shrink his troops, and he didn't even want the central square.
After setting fire to the city hall, tearing down several sections of the wall, and blocking the road, Dempsey hurriedly withdrew the remaining troops to the north of the city.
According to the reconnaissance results of the Griffin Cavalry in the air, Dempsey has no intention of giving up and continuing to defend. His huddled main force is still building fortifications in the south of the city, intending to continue to resist.
This stubborn old thing even gave Dane a headache.
"Honestly admit defeat and get out, it's okay to be stubborn!" Dane scolded, feeling a little depressed. He originally hoped that he could directly beat Dempsey out of the city in today's battle. (To be continued.)
