Governor Ozer didn't throw in the towel so easily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he missed a little in seizing Ice Cave City, and was intercepted by several warlords loyal to Conley in the northward march into German City, and was consumed some time, so that Galwin and Anders' Northern Army Group took the lead in seizing Ice Cave City, he had no intention of letting go at all, and returned to the Beast Blood Castle in disgrace.

It's not just a battle of will, it's a real battle of great luck.

Ozer was absolutely unwilling to give up Ice Cave City to Conry like this, which would be a huge disadvantage to Sindlaire's overall form of war.

When the northern Ice Cave City is occupied, it means that the struggle around the Ice Cave City in the previous six months will end in the defeat of Governor Ozer, and all the efforts will be in vain; It means that the small warlords who participated in the war in Ice Cave City were either eliminated or thrown to Kangli; It also means that in the entire north of the Beast Blood Castle, Ou Ze's forces will fall into a situation where there is no danger to defend, and the Beast Blood Castle will suffer the most direct threat from the enemy from the north, and Ou Ze's army will lose a large area of strategic maneuver.

All these reasons added up, prompting Ou Ze to lead the army to continue to march north, and he couldn't just let the important town in the north to Kangli like this.

So, despite the enemy's numerical superiority, Ozer still led the troops and continued to move north.

The two Grand Karcists of the Northern Army are not cowardly at all, they have the advantage of strength, and their individual combat ability will not lose to Ou Ze's legion, so they are not willing to nest in the city and wait for Ou Ze to attack. In that case, even if they defeated Ozer in the battle to defend the city, it would not be convenient to expand the victory.

So, Galvin and Anders met and after discussion, they decided to go out of the city to face the battle.

On November 20th, a week after Dane conquered Mihe City, the two legions in Ice Cave City fought against each other for a long time.

To be honest, Dane was taken aback when he had just received the imminent decisive battle between the two armies in the Northern Ice Cave City. He tried to attack fiercely in the south, and even crossed the Mi River, in order to put pressure on Kang Li and try to slow down the outbreak of war in the north. But sometimes what you do doesn't necessarily get you 100% of what you want.

Dane was worried that Ozer would suffer a major rout in this battle. Moreover, he is not optimistic that Ou Ze can win. Even, he has already begun to use his brains about what strategy he will adopt in the event of the defeat in the war in the north.

But fortunately, everything has not yet reached that point of no return.

While Dane was worried, news of further warfare in the North came back.

As he expected, in this northern war, Ou Ze did not take any advantage, let alone win. However, while he didn't take advantage, he didn't lose anything.

It is likely that the commanders of both sides knew that the outcome of this great battle would determine the life and death of the entire force, so whether it was Galvin and Anders, or Governor Ozer himself, they would become very cautious when sending troops and transferring generals.

It is precisely this kind of caution that leads to the two sides fighting, which is somewhat restrained, and there is rarely a time to go all out. Even if they see some good opportunities, they rarely really do their best and mobilize a lot of strength to pounce.

In this way, the two sides seem to be tense and look like they want you to live or die, but after a few collisions, it is true that no one has been able to do anything to anyone.

But Ozer still suffered a loss.

In fact, the casualty ratio of both sides is about the same. However, it should be known that the strength of Governor Ozer is a full third less than that of the opposite side. With the same exchange ratio, it seems that no one will suffer, but if you continue to fight, there will be a time when Ou Ze will not be able to hold on sooner or later. Perhaps, more than 30,000 to 40,000 people can maintain the same exchange ratio, what about 20,000 to 30,000? What about 10,000 and 20,000? The ratio of soldiers to soldiers will become smaller and smaller, and the disadvantage in strength will become larger and greater.

After exchanging blood with each other for a while, when Ou Ze lost a lot of manpower in the battle one after another, he took the initiative to retreat.

Such a retreat is of course a different matter from a rout, and the Army Group North opposite them will not dare to catch up with them - this will be killed, and who knows what the situation of the battle will become? What's more, for Galvin and Anders, as long as they don't mess around, the advantage will always be on their side, so why take any big risks?

They marched step by step, not chasing very closely, nor completely relaxing, but maintaining a steady pace, walking step by step against Governor Ouze's ass, all the way to the south and east, and constantly pressing in the direction of the Beast Blood Castle. This path is very clear, what they want is to use their superior forces to continuously compress the living space of Governor Ou Ze, and finally force Ou Ze's army back to the Beast Blood Castle and trap it in it.

In this way, of course, it is not refreshing to directly defeat Ou Ze's army, but if Ou Ze's army can be surrounded in the Beast Blood Castle for a long time, it will be another form of annihilation.

Of course, Ou Ze himself didn't want this kind of thing to happen, but under the enemy's terrifying strategy and use of troops, it was really difficult for Ou Ze to think of any way to crack it for a while, and he couldn't turn his head and fight the enemy to the death. In terms of the character of Governor Ouze, he is not without this kind of courage, but the odds of doing this kind of thing are too low, and he is absolutely unwilling to do it unless he is really exhausted and forced to do so.

And now, apparently, it hasn't gotten to that point yet.

Ou Ze, who is constantly fighting and maneuvering with the enemy, is not so ill-informed about the outside world. He knew that Dane had not thrown himself into Conry as he had feared, but had marched north very resolutely, even defeating the regular legion led by Hekatim, a high-ranking warmancer councillor from Conri.

In Ozer's judgment, the fall of the Greekatim Legion means that there is no longer any barrier to the south of Cinderella. If Dane wanted to, he would continue to march north, and he would immediately be able to attack the city and directly threaten the capital city.

Ozer didn't expect Dane to take Sinderella in one fight, that would be unrealistic. He just hoped that Dane would continue to put pressure on Conry in the south in order to bring about a turnaround in the overall situation. (To be continued.) )
