The daytime battle on October 25 was fierce, and the losses of Dane's troops were not small. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A detailed battle report has not yet been released, but judging from the estimates, Dempsey's descendant troops, which had only about 2,000 troops left, lost about half of them in a full-day battle with the Dane Army at the main point of the city. As for those local troops who did not have a high will to fight, there were even fewer left, and most of them had already been beaten away.

However, relying on a thousand-strong descendant army and hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers, this overseer of Iron Nail Gang who had just been in office for less than four months still had no intention of giving up, and was still stubbornly preparing to defend it.

This attitude is sure to give Dane a headache.

In this whole day, counting the assault team led by Anka in front of the ambush, as well as the local troops that were eliminated, the enemy forces that Dane's legion had annihilated and destroyed in formation, there were already more than 4,000 people in three wings. The casualties of their own side were about five or six hundred, and most of the losses came from the manpower lost by the Iron Nail Gang army in the battle for the defense points in various parts of the city.

The battle loss ratio of seven to eight to one should actually be quite a brilliant result for any army, especially the main attacker. Even the most demanding generals could not be dissatisfied with such a ratio of casualties.

But this kind of thing needs to be looked at as a whole, not in isolation.

The army in Dain's hands is so large in number, even if it is such a high proportion of battle losses, his troops are all dead, and it is estimated that he will be able to finish out the main army of Governor Conley. But then again, this initiative to attack the core area of Tienail Gang was somewhat strategically cheap. If it weren't for the fact that Demphy's mobilization of troops was not smooth after the ankle of Anka's entire army, and his control over the city had dropped seriously in a short period of time, I am afraid that it would have been difficult for Dane to advance the army to the central square of the city so smoothly.

Scratching his head and confronting Governor Conry on his own was an unlikely thing to do, and Dane quickly put this unrealistic idea behind him.

The next thing he needs to think about is how to completely clear Dempsey out of the iron nail post, and even find some way to completely annihilate him.

However, the old guy was holding on to the stronghold in the south of the city at the moment, and he would not retreat.

On the night of the 25th, Dane ordered his troops to rest for the night and did not continue the attack. By daylight on the 26th, the rested army began to press south of the city.

Without hurrying to make a move, Dane first asked the griffon team, as well as some other ground reconnaissance teams, to observe the movements of the Dempsey Legion.

The feedback came back with some bad results.

More than a thousand Misty City infantry, with five or six hundred local troops, a total of less than two thousand. However, although they certainly did not have a large number of people, their defensive range was not as large as in yesterday's battle, which made it easier to gather forces and fight to the death.

Dane decided to be a little more cautious. He did not directly launch a full-scale onslaught, but sent troops from all sides to make a tentative attack attempt.

Under Dane's temptation, Dempsey's defense in the south of the city can almost be said to be leaky. The tentative assault continued into the evening, as it approached dark, and Dane did not find any loopholes to exploit.

"Do you really have to rely on human lives to fill it?" Dane thought depressedly, the last thing he wanted to see was that kind of scene.

He expected that if he really wanted to fight like that, not to mention the seven-eight-to-one battle loss ratio during the day on the 25th, under the stubborn posture of Demphy, if he really wanted to force him out of the city, he was afraid that Dain's troops, how many Demphy soldiers killed, would have to pay as many casualties as they could.

Obviously, this is not the outcome that Dane wants.

The 26th's temptation was in vain, and the 27th Dane strengthened the offensive on the south of the city, and achieved certain results, knocking out several strongholds of the defenders of the Iron Nail Gang in the south of the city, but this was still a long way from completely clearing them out of the city.

Moreover, in order to capture those two strongholds, Dane lost a large group of soldiers.

This made Dane quite distressed, and he stopped the offensive after noon.

Two days of futile effort proved that Dempsey was indeed able to defend himself. Especially, when this guy doesn't think about taking the initiative at all, and doesn't even have the idea of escaping the city, and only thinks about holding out in the south of the city for a longer time, then he becomes even more difficult to deal with.

After all, Dempsey had a reason to stick to it no matter what.

This veteran who has been on the battlefield for more than 20 years will not do meaningless things. He stubbornly stood on the front line south of the Iron Nail Gang, waiting for reinforcements.

Long before the war began, when the Governor of Conry was about to attack the Ice Cave City in the north, he had already expected that Dane would inevitably attack Dempsey at Nail Height, and he had asked the Governor of Conley for reinforcements at that time.

At that time, Governor Conley had promised to send reinforcements to him, and later, Dempsey had received news that reinforcements were already on the way. It was a corps with three wings, led by General Arnold.

Arnold was not Conried's subordinate, but rather a warlord who had been close to Bernier in the past. After Governor Bernier's death, Arnold had rebelled against Governor Conley's rule over Cinderella, however, after a defeat, he was also the fastest to defect in the anti-Conley camp.

For Conry, Arnold, as the first person to 'abandon darkness and turn to light', is a person who is used as an example, Conry is very good to him, and has given a lot of support in all aspects, just to set an example for other warlords to 'follow me to eat meat'.

It's hard to say how much this effect has played, but at least, after a year or two of support, Arnold is already following Kang Li with all his heart.

This time, Dempsey asked for help, because the Kangli forces themselves had to prepare for the war in the north of Ice Cave City, and at the same time, they also had to guard against the Governor of Oze in the east, and the Governor of Kangli's own descendants were indeed a little stretched in terms of troops. And it just so happened that Arnold's sphere of influence was not far from the Iron Nail Post, so he was simply sent.

Arnold didn't say anything. In his opinion, although Dane, who rose to prominence in the south, had a great reputation, there was only so much of Dane's total strength. With 4,500 people, plus the 3,000 Chaos City infantry in Demphy's hands, and some local troops in the Iron Nail Post, the total strength is about to exceed 10,000, can you still hold the Iron Nail Post?

It's easy to go south and overthrow Dane! (To be continued.) )
