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?
As a result, it became impossible to insist on street fighting
With declining morale and lack of command, the defenders of Mihe City were continuously compressed into the city. Finally, when one 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 large-scale surrender of the establishment occurred that night.
Dain, 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. Desperately.
In the end, Dane, who was really too lazy to deal with these things, directly left all the work to his legion commander Patience, his adjutant Gnar, and a group of officers below, I fell asleep soundly.
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.
Dain is indeed too tired.
He fell asleep, and 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 by the guards, he turned to the side and asked Gnar, who hurried over when he heard him wake up, "How is the situation in the city now?"
"We won a big victory!" Gnar gave a very positive judgment without hesitation.
Dyne nodded: "I know there will be a big victory, what's the specific situation?"
Gnar said: "Due to the rush of time, we have no way to calculate the exact results of the battle in a short period of 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 the 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 have taken. The defenders of Mihe City have at least three thousand People finally surrendered to us, and the city prison has no way to detain so many people, so it 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 Come on, Boss, you personally got off the field, showing off your power, even Heka Tim was killed by you, what else can they struggle for?"
"En." Dane nodded, then remembered two questions, and asked, "How about our casualties? Has the city been cleared?"
When Dane asked this question, Gnar put away his smile: "The situation in the city is still relatively good. Although there are still occasional sporadic battles, most of the city has been destroyed. In our control, there are only some small-scale and ineffective enemy troops, who are still defending in certain areas, relying on streets and buildings. Most of these people are spontaneously gathered by some defeated soldiers who have not escaped from the city. According to General Patience, we only need two days at most to completely clean up the city."
"As for casualties..."
Speaking of which, Nelton paused.
Dyne 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, you The boss's endurance is very good!"
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. .”
Thousands of casualties made Dane frowned~IndoMTL.com~ This number of casualties is a bit big.
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 upward without interruption, even regardless of casualties. With the rain of arrows and the enemy's artillery moving forward, after 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 rushed up with those elf knights that the situation was completely reversed. At that time, our loss was almost a thousand people. As for the follow-up, after entering the city, we did not lose many people in the process of defeating the enemy and pursuing them."
"Alas..." Dane sighed, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, I see, you go to work, I will come out after a while."
Seeing Gnar leave and leave, Dane felt somewhat depressed.
It's not easy to train a thousand soldiers. How can Dane not feel heartbroken with such an injury?
However, there is no way to do this. In fact, earlier, when he decided to attack the city forcefully, he was already mentally prepared to suffer a lot of casualties.
If you attack the city wall head-on, of course you will 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.
Actually, 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.
