Chapter 368: A Great Victory
Originally, the defenders of Mihe City still had a few thousand men who could hold on to the battle, and if there was a unified command, they could completely retreat to the interior of the city and fight another street battle with Dane. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć But that requires the central nervous system of an army to be able to control the legions under its command very strongly.
But now, the central nervous system of Mihe City has been removed by Dane himself, where did they come from to command?
As a result, it became impossible to insist on fighting in the streets
With declining morale and a lack of command, the defenders of Mihe City were constantly compressed into the city, and finally, when one after another troops were defeated, a complete rout came.
A large number of troops began to abandon their duty to continue the fight and began to flee. In the process of escaping, many people were killed by Dane's soldiers who followed after them, and this further inspired the speed of the collapse of the defenders of Mihe City. The soldiers who survived by luck hid in the city in the process of escaping, some fled the city in a hurry, and the most chose to surrender when Dane's men caught up.
The mass appearance of the surrender of the formation was in the same night.
Dane, who came down from the battlefield, felt a little tired, and originally thought that after the capture of the city had become a sure thing, he would be able to rest for a night, but he didn't expect that this night was just to take prisoners, which made him very busy.
In the end, Dane, who really didn't bother to bother with these things, directly dumped all the work to his regiment commander Pehins, and his adjutant Nar, and the next officer, and then slept beautifully.
No one complained about this kind of behavior of their own lord. Dane's usual prestige is secondary, and the most important thing is that if anyone can personally lead the team to complete a decapitation of the enemy's defenders, and lead the soldiers to rush to the front line, then no one will have any opinion on such a person taking a break after the battle.
Dane was indeed too tired.
When he woke up, the time had already reached noon the next day.
When he woke up, Dane felt a lot better. While he was eating the dry rations of the march brought by the guards, he asked Nar, who had heard that he had woken up and hurried over, "How is the situation in the city?" ā
"We've won big!" Nar did not hesitate to give a very positive judgment.
Dane nodded: "I know there will definitely be a big victory, what about the specific situation?" ā
"Due to the rush of time, we can't count the exact results in a short period of time. However, the main forces of the enemy had been wiped out, and a small number of enemy troops fled from the city or hid in some dark corners. Most of the others were either killed by us or taken prisoner. Now, the only thing that can be accurately reported is the number of prisoners we have taken in. At least 3,000 of the defenders of Mihe City eventually surrendered to us, and the city prison had no way of holding such a large number of people, so it was only able to requisition some other relatively strong buildings to serve as temporary detention facilities. ā
Dane was still quite satisfied with such a situation. He nodded, took a sip of water, the marching rations were a little too dry, and he ate too fast, almost choking him.
After going down in one breath, he complimented: "Good job." ā
Nar said with a smile: "Our offensive is still too fierce, and the enemy is not prepared for the loss of the city wall when we attack the city for the first time, and the preparation for street fighting is very insufficient in advance." In addition, the boss you personally went down and became powerful, and even the greeting katim was killed by your own hands, what else do they have to struggle? ā
"Yes." Dane nodded, remembered two more questions, and asked, "What about our casualties?" Is the city clean? ā
Hearing Dane ask this question, Nar put away his smile: "The situation of the city's clearance is still relatively good, although there are still some occasional battles breaking out, but most of the city has been controlled by us, only some small enemy forces are still in individual areas, relying on streets and buildings for defense. Most of these people were spontaneously gathered by some defeated soldiers who did not flee the city, and they did not form a climate. According to General Pehins, it will only take us two days at most to completely clean up the city. ā
"As for casualties......"
At this, Nall paused.
Dane raised his eyebrows, and said impatiently: "If you ask you, you can just tell you honestly, what are you doing?" Come, let's hear, how many people have we been killed or wounded? Rest assured, your boss can handle it very well! ā
Hearing Dane say this, Nar no longer hesitated. I only heard him say: "Our casualties are relatively serious, almost more than 1,000 soldiers are wounded or killed. However, the good news is that some of the wounded soldiers can be treated and returned to the battlefield. ā
Thousands of casualties, Dane frowned when he heard this.
This casualty figure is a bit large.
Nar continued: "Most of the casualties of our troops came from storming the walls. In order to maintain the offensive, most of the army rushed upwards without stopping, even regardless of casualties. After braving the rain of arrows and enemy artillery, the battle for the city wall was not particularly easy to fight due to the disadvantage of the terrain, and it was not until the boss and those elven knights rushed up that the situation was completely reversed. At that time, our losses were almost a thousand. As for the follow-up, after entering the city, in the process of crushing the enemy army and chasing and killing, there was not much loss of manpower. ā
"Alas......" Dane sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, I know, you go and get busy, I'll come out after a while." ā
Watching Nar say goodbye and leave, Dane's heart was somewhat depressed.
The cultivation of a thousand soldiers is not easy, how can such an injury make Dane not feel heartache?
It's just that there's no way around it. In fact, earlier, when he decided to attack the city strongly, he was already mentally prepared to suffer a lot of casualties.
Storming the walls head-on, of course, will come at a price. In fact, with the same strength of the two sides, it is already a lucky thing to be able to lose only these manpower in a battle.
In fact, if there is a choice, why wouldn't Dane want to take it slowly? The reason why we have to take such a big risk and bear such a loss is all for the sake of the big picture.
He can slowly figure it out under Mihe City, but there is no way for the war in the Northern Ice Cave City to stop as he wishes. (To be continued.) )
