Chapter 350: Bloody Battle on Cecum Street
After two and a half hours after the assault team led by Anka was ambushed by the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry and was almost completely annihilated, Dane, who had not moved for a while after entering the city, suddenly began to attack the interior of the city with all his strength!
Dane's judgment was correct, and after losing 600 elite troops, Overseer Dempsey's control over many streets, alleys, and important strategic points in Nail Heights was greatly affected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 With insufficient troops, Dempsey simply had no way to continue to control a large number of strategic points.
However, since he had made up his mind to fight in the streets, even if the situation was bad, Dempsey did not want to give up. He urgently began to mobilize his forces, and around the city, stubbornly carried out a stubborn resistance to Dain's army.
It didn't work out too well.
The Battle of Cecum Street is a case in point.
The so-called cecum street is a relatively prosperous street in Tiedinggang. Originally, in peacetime, it was supposed to be a street for slaughtering livestock and selling meat, and the smell was not very good.
Of course, none of this is a big deal. The street had been under the control of the Dempsey men a few days earlier, and all the civilians had stayed in their homes honestly, and the shops had been requisitioned as defensive strongholds. He even demolished part of the building and set up several defensive lines on Cram Street.
The reason why so much attention is paid to the street is that if you want to attack the heart of the city from the south gate, then this street is a good choice.
Originally, there were two brigades of Misty City infantry here, with the same number of local troops, forming a legion of more than 1,000 people, to garrison. However, when Ankh needed to carry out an assault mission, Dempsey temporarily transferred a large group of Confused City infantry from Blind Street to him, so that the defense of Blind Street was much lowered.
Guarding here was Colonel Vaigs. After Anka's failed raid, he realized that he might be a key target for the Dane Legion. While preparing for the defense, he also sent a message to the Dempsey Overseers quite eagerly, asking for reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise he could not guarantee how long he would be able to hold on to Blind Street.
Dempsey quickly replied to him, saying that he would send him a force of 600 men within an hour and a half, and asked him to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
However, Colonel Vaigs, who received the news, had no time to rejoice in the reinforcements that would soon arrive. Because, before Demphy's reply came, the street of the Septum where he was stationed was under the onslaught of the Dane Legion!
In front of him was a team of two White Wolf Guards and a strong crossbowman team.
In terms of military strength, the two sides seem to be about the same, but in terms of real military strength, they are far apart.
All Vaigs could really rely on was a large army of Misty City infantry. As for the six or seven hundred local troops, it may still be useful when there are few people in a good fight and bullying the enemy. And opposite him, the team led by Colonel Gebu, the wing commander of the 1st Wing, was an elite of more than 900 people!
After arriving at the battlefield, the heavily armored White Wolf Guards did not stop for half a step, quickly formed a fairly strong team, raised their battle shields, held their battle axes, and began to march forward in a phalanx.
The street of the cecum was not very wide, and the street could stand at most six or seven heavy infantry side by side at the same time. The length is not short, it takes more than ten minutes to walk, and the winding streets really look like a intestine. And the white wolf guards who formed the battle formation began to crush forward in a slow, but unstoppable manner, like an iron rod that had stabbed into this intestine.
The first to come into contact with the White Wolf Guards was a local force with an iron nail post. They panicked a little when they saw the mighty and majestic White Wolf Guards pressing forward.
Although, at the urging of the officers from Cinderella, the soldiers raised their weapons and launched an attack on the marching White Wolf Guards, in the narrow streets, the narrow roads met each other, and the local troops could not stop the advance of the White Wolf Guards.
Soldiers were constantly being knocked away by heavy shields and slashed by strong heavy infantry with their battle axes, but it was difficult for them to pose too much of a threat to the White Wolf Guards.
The local troops of the Iron Nail Guard had only blocked the White Wolf Guards for a few minutes, and forty or fifty people had already been hacked to death, and the whole team was already faintly unable to support it.
Then, the crossbowmen, who followed behind the White Wolf Guards who acted as vanguards, fired several rounds of rapid fire at the enemies that crowded the streets.
The rain of arrows was like locusts, and under the rapid shooting, reloading, and firing of the crossbowmen, this local army suffered another wave of heavy blows. Their morale began to plummet.
First, some of the soldiers retreated to avoid the rain of arrows, followed by the soldiers who could not resist the advance of the white wolf guards in front of them, and also withdrew. At first, they were still able to run and fight, and they were still able to form a certain resistance to the troops led by Gebu, but later, when the losses were getting bigger and bigger, and the number of casualties had exceeded one hundred and fifty soldiers, the local troops could not bear it.
The result of the direct collapse of the entire morale is a total rout. Especially when the officer from Sinderella who oversaw the battle was cut into meat sauce under the heavy armor and battle axes of the White Wolf Guards, no one could hold back the defeat of the rout.
Preventing his subordinates from continuing the pursuit, Gebu continued to maintain the formation of the team steadily. The heavy infantry should be crushed forward step by step, like a wheel of steel. No need to be fast, as long as they are stable and strong enough, no matter what lies ahead, it is impossible to stop them!
Vaigs didn't expect the local troops in front of him to be able to resist the crushing of the White Wolf Guards, but he didn't expect that a large group of soldiers would still be defeated so quickly in such a terrain where the enemy could not give full play to his numerical superiority.
He detached a squadron of soldiers to collect the retreating rout in front of him and try to regroup them. At the same time, he himself personally led the remaining elite warriors and waited for the arrival of the White Wolf Guards.
"Under no circumstances can the enemy pass through our lines!" He shouted like this, which caused an enthusiastic response from the soldiers around him.
The Chaos City infantry is indeed an elite team, and this does not need to be emphasized again. Even if the enemy in front of them is terrifying, they still maintain a strong will to fight and are ready to fight to the death.
However, after boosting the morale of the soldiers, Vaigs's mood at the moment was extremely heavy. He knew that although reinforcements were already on the way, they might not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
At this moment, this colonel officer from Cinderella has already decided to fight the enemy with his flesh and blood here. He didn't have any more delusions, and he was able to completely stop the enemy in the cecum street, but at least he couldn't let the enemy walk through too easily.
A few minutes later, the phalanx of the White Wolf Guards came out of the corner of the street. The two armies, who had fought once in the wilderness outside of Shawan Harbor, had now switched roles. Last time, it was the White Wolf Guards who withstood the onslaught of three times the number of Confused City infantry; And this time, it was replaced by the White Wolf Guards to take the initiative to attack.
To be honest, the White Wolf Defenders' offensive ability is indeed inferior compared to defense. They may be able to hold out for a long time under the onslaught of three times the number of Chaos City infantry, but it is impossible for them to attack three times the number of Chaos City Infantry in the past.
But this battle is different, this time, it is the white wolf guards who have the advantage in numbers! Moreover, the narrow streets of Blind Street, on the contrary, gave the heavy infantry a great advantage in forming a tight phalanx. Gebu, who led the army to kill, had no doubt that he would be able to win the battle.
The white wolf guards, armed with heavy shields and battle axes, approached step by step. The distance, which was not far apart, was shortened in a short period of time to the point where the two sides could engage in a tragic battle freely.
"Kill!" Vaiges was the first to take the lead, holding a cross sword, and slashed into the formation of the White Wolf Guards.
Sitting in the position of colonel, his strength will naturally not be bad. With a slash of his sword, he cut through the shield held up by a white wolf guard, and then kicked it over, kicked it over, and stabbed another heavy infantry to death with a sword in his hand.
The infantry of the Misty City, encouraged by the officers, roared their battle horns and rushed forward one after another.
The men are swaying their blood and fighting frantically in this dirty street. Everyone fought with the determination to kill the other. The already dirty ground became even more miserable at this moment, and the smell of blood released by the blood of Siliu was mixed with the original stench, forming a rather uncomfortable smell.
But no one cares about this disgusting taste, the tragic battle in front of them is the main theme of this street at the moment!
Cecum Street used to be a street where meat was sold and livestock were slaughtered, and when slaughtered intensively, there was blood everywhere and the smell of disgusting people everywhere. But at no time in the past has it ever been on such a large scale.
What's more, slaughtering pigs and sheep, where is it shocking for humans to kill each other?
People kept falling, mutilated and corpses almost blocking the entire street. Colonel Vaigs, who had taken the lead from the beginning of the battle, had now become a bloody man. There were already seven or eight wounds on his body, large and small, especially the one on his left shoulder that had been struck by the heavy axe, which almost cut off his entire arm, so that he could only hold the sword in one hand now.
His head was a blur from blood loss and pain, and he couldn't remember exactly how many White Wolf Guards he had killed with his sword. Six? Or seven?
The real battlefield is not like a martial arts competition, every move here exists to take people's lives, life here is the least valuable, but everyone who has life wants to live, and wants to take the life of the enemy on the opposite side. In such a state, Vaigus was able to kill six or seven heavily armored white wolf guards with his own hands, and he could already be regarded as a warrior.
But that's the end of it.
When he faced the shield of a white wolf guard again, he raised his sword to stand in front of him, but his body, which had been weakened from the previous battle, and the depleted physical strength, prevented him from doing so. Along with the cross sword, he was staggered by the shield and fell backwards, but he didn't know who stepped on half of his head that had been cut off, and he failed to stabilize his body and fell to the ground.
Two of the Misty City infantrymen who saw the colonel fall to the ground hurriedly wanted to come to help, but they were cut down by the heavy axes that came one after another on the way. Immediately afterwards, the three or four white wolf guards who came up surrounded Vaigus, who did not even have the strength to stand up, and raised and swung their axes again, until Vaigs was chopped into pieces, and they stopped their movements and continued to rush forward with their weapons and shields.
Then, one by one, the heavy infantry continued to pour forward, and the corpses of Vaiges, who had been cut to a bloody pulp, were trampled by a pair of iron boots, and completely trampled together with the other corpses, and could no longer distinguish each other.
The infantry of Chaos City fought with great blood and bravery, and they composed a tragic elegy with blood, stumps, and cross-swords in their hands. But it still couldn't stop the White Wolf Guardian's crushing march like a wall of steel. No matter how fierce they fought and how hard they tried, they couldn't stop their formation from retreating under the iron wall.
Especially when the follow-up crossbowmen also joined the battle, bypassing the corners of the streets and starting to fire crossbow arrows, the casualties of the Chaos City infantry became even greater.
The tragic battlefield made the routs in the rear, who had just been gathered and ready to return to the battle, and the local troops who had been arranged by Vaigs in the houses on both sides of the street before the battle, ready to be killed from the houses while the White Wolf Guard's team was advancing.
In their minds, they had never imagined that there would be such a battle like the Shura Field.
The whole street was now covered with stumps, fragments of flesh and blood, and corpses were either lying on the street without human appearance, or half-leaning against the corner, staring at the sky with dead eyes.
These soldiers, who had not yet participated in the battle, were already in two wars just by looking at such a scene, and no matter how much the officers supervising the battle urged, or even cut people with knives, they were absolutely unwilling to attack the heavy infantry regiment that was crushed.
They either collapsed in fright, or fled through the window, or simply laid down their arms and surrendered.
Vaiger and his troops, after holding on to the Creature Street for half an hour, were wiped out.
