Chapter 1092: Horse Herding (Part 1)

As night falls, the second day of the Pendragon Defense Battle comes to an end.

After night fell, Allen, Alyssa and others all ordered the fight to stop at almost the same time with great tacit understanding.

Allen asked the soldiers to stop attacking, and Alyssa and others did not let the soldiers provoke the rebels who stopped attacking.

The soldiers of the two armies who fought fiercely from early morning to evening finally got a chance to rest.

The commanders of the two armies also took advantage of the night, which caused the soldiers of both armies to stop fighting, to count today's losses and tally today's results.

…

…

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, rebel camp outside the city, main camp.

In the large tent of this formation, a knight loudly reported today's results and losses to Allen.

Because the tactics of warfare were changed and the soldiers no longer walked arrogantly on the streets of Pendragon, the "lure the enemy into a trap" tactic used by the Pendragon defenders could be said to be completely ineffective.

Because Pendragon's defenders could no longer lure large groups of rebel soldiers into an ambush and then attack and annihilate them like yesterday, the casualties of Allen's army today were much smaller than yesterday, with only nearly a thousand dead and wounded. people.

It's just that - if today's battle damage and today's battle results are compared together, today's battle damage seems to be too great.

Because the results of today's battle are really not worth mentioning. From the fierce fighting in the early morning to the evening, only a few dozen houses were occupied.

It took nearly a thousand casualties to occupy about twenty dilapidated houses - the effort and the gain were really not proportional.

Therefore, after reporting today's battle damage and results statistics to Allen, the knight couldn't help but complain to Allen:

"Coach Allen, is it really okay to fight this kind of 'stupid war' of house-to-house suppression? You have to pay so many casualties, but in the end you only occupy about twenty shabby houses... This is really..."

"There is no problem at all." As soon as the knight finished speaking, Allen immediately answered, "Although on the surface it seems that we are suffering, in fact it is Pendragon's defenders who are here. Suffer."

"Pendragon's garrison, no matter how hard it is, will not exceed 10,000 people at most."

“And we have 150,000 people here.

"

"In terms of military strength, our side has the absolute upper hand."

"So this kind of 'silly war' of house-to-house suppression is most suitable for us who have the absolute upper hand in terms of military strength."

"We have more troops and we can afford it. Pendragon's defenders have fewer troops and they can't afford it."

"We occupy every house in Pendragon house by house. Not only can we consume the small strength of the Pendragon defenders, but we can also compress their scope of activities and kill two birds with one stone."

"Just watch - after a while, the defenders in Pendragon City will be exhausted by us until we have no troops left to fight."

After saying that, Allen withdrew his gaze and looked at the Pendragon city map spread out on the table.

Looking at the map in front of him, Allen suddenly sighed:

"It would be great if we could have a more detailed and accurate map... If we could have a more detailed and accurate map, our casualties could also be reduced."

The casualties on Allen's army were much, much more than the casualties on Pendragon's defenders.

According to Allen's research, there are four reasons:

The first reason is the map problem.

The map Allen currently has is too undetailed, and many places are quite vaguely drawn.

And there are many mistakes and omissions.

Today, many troops reported that when they were advancing according to orders, they found that the destination was not a house, but a dead end.

Because of this, Allen's army was far less flexible than the Pendragon defenders when moving and fighting in the city.

Pendragon's defenders knew the structure of their defense area very well. When they found that they couldn't defeat them, they ran away. The generals of Allen's army didn't know how to pursue them because the structure of the city was too complicated.

The second reason - the firepower of Pendragon's defenders is quite strong.

According to reports from frontline generals yesterday and today, Pendragon's defenders seem to have equipped a large number of crossbows.

Moreover, crossbows are abundant. After encountering Allen Army soldiers, Pendragon's defenders often fire a round of crossbows before engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

The Pendragon defenders had a large number of crossbows and crossbows - Allen was not surprised by this.

Because this city is, after all, the capital of the Britannia Empire, the treasury naturally reserves a large amount of armaments.

With Pendragon's arms inventory, it is not difficult at all to arm the defenders and make each of the defenders' generals have a crossbow.

The third reason is that there is a group of extremely elite soldiers in Pendragon's garrison.

Whether it was yesterday or today, a large number of generals reported that in Pendragon, there was a group of soldiers wearing armor and dark purple cloaks that were completely different from theirs. They were extremely elite, and each of them was extremely powerful. horrible.

One soldier even reported that he witnessed eight comrades besieging a soldier wearing a dark purple cloak. As a result, all eight of his comrades were killed by the soldier wearing a dark purple cloak.

Based on these reports from the generals, Allen dared to conclude that these soldiers wearing dark purple cloaks must be soldiers of the Michael Knights' ace unit - the Delan Immortal Team.

After all, the dark purple cloak is the standard equipment of the Delan Undead Squad.

There are a group of Delan Undead Squad members in Pendragon City - Allen was very surprised about this.

Because Allen couldn't understand why the Delan Undead Squad, which should be stationed in the north, appeared in Pendragon?

Although Allen was puzzled, he didn't care about it.

Because according to reports, there are not many members of the Delan Undead Squad in the city, and not all the soldiers are stationed in Pendragon.

Although the members of the Delan Undead Squad are strong, Allen doesn't care if there are only so few of them.

As for the last reason, it is the main reason why Allen's army suffered far more casualties than the Pendragon defenders.

The last reason is that the morale of Allen's army is not high.

Until now, almost all ordinary soldiers don't know why they came to attack Pendragon.

The hundreds of thousands of troops under Allen's command are basically soldiers of the Uriel Knights.

Since the establishment of the Uriel Knights, they have been stationed around Pendragon, so most of the soldiers recognize that the city they are attacking is the capital of their country - Pendragon.

They don't understand: why attack the capital of their country?

This mentality of "not knowing why to fight" makes the morale of most of the soldiers in the army quite low.
