The Mirage Kingdom did not know about Mirage Haiping's death until later, because the battle that night was so chaotic that the orc troops did not have the time to find Mirage Haiping's body.
There were broken troops and gunshots everywhere, because the visibility was really bad at night, and the orc troops did not really pursue the defeated mirage army.
Those mirage soldiers who had lost their will to fight surrendered, committed suicide, and fled back to the central mountainous area, but they could no longer rely on those tunnels and caves to continue to resist.
The last of the 20,000 or so mirage troops collapsed overnight, and the orc troops began a liquidation operation the next morning.
It took three days for most of the goblins hiding in the mountains to be wiped out, and the central fortification area controlled by the mirage army was finally eradicated.
Although they did not know that Mirage Haiping was dead, Mirage Emperor and Mirage Wuk still knew that the fortification area was destroyed.
Because before Mirage Haiping set off, or before the power was cut off, he sent a telegram to Mirage City, including his brief suicide note and the news that the Mirage army could not support it and could only fight tonight.
In fact, even though he used a code, the message was still intercepted and deciphered by the Tang Empire. This is why the orc troops were well prepared: the Tang Empire gave accurate information, and the orcs had already been prepared.
Phantom Vuk knew that without the control of the central region, his good days were coming to an end. The orcs had at least 8 divisions of troops that could be mobilized to press towards the Phantom City war zone.
Counting these forces, the orcs can completely surround the mirage, cut off the connection between the mirage and the northern region, and isolate the mirage.
So he hurried to the suburban courtyard where Mirage Emperor was hiding with the documents, and gave his opinion: "Your Majesty! It is no longer safe here, you must leave now."
The Mirage Emperor, who looked a little haggard, was unwilling to leave his royal city and asked, "Can't you just hold on a little longer?"
"The 1st Armored Division has suffered heavy losses and is almost unable to hold on. If another Orc force comes from the north, their defense line will collapse." Mirwuk explained: "Count on the 3rd Armored Division, which basically has no tanks.
This is unrealistic, Your Majesty, this place is about to be surrounded."
"Once the orcs want to encircle Mirage City, the area where you are will be the enemy's main attack area from the side and rear. Unless you return to the city or immediately go north to the northern area, it is very dangerous to stay here." After he finished speaking, he looked at it.
To the Mirage Emperor, wait for the Mirage Emperor to make his own choice.
The Mirage Emperor fell into thinking, and the situation took a turn for the worse. All the conditions he proposed were rejected one by one by the Tang Empire, and now he had fewer and fewer bargaining chips.
On the Lions Empire's side, no matter how hard the Mirage's negotiating team tried, there was no way to get the Tang Empire to agree to even one condition. The Mirage, which was retreating steadily on the battlefield, seemed to be really not worth asking the Tang Empire to make any form of
of concessions.
"Is Mirage Haiping really dead?" Mirage Emperor asked a question that made Mirage Wuke a little stunned.
"There is no news from the mountainous area, Your Majesty. In this state, there is no way to confirm the whereabouts of General Mirage Haiping." Mirage Wuke was stunned for a moment and then explained: "But on the radio, there is no news from the Tang Empire.
There are no reports...no news, which is probably the best news for us."
The Mirage Emperor nodded, and then said: "I have already sent a message to the Lions Empire to give in. This is almost a complete agreement to the requirements of the Tang Empire."
He paused and looked at Mirage Wuk: "I hope General... you can continue to persist until winter comes, which will be enough to delay the time for a few months, which will be good for negotiations..."
"Your Majesty!" Mirage Wuk lowered his head and promised: "The Mirage City is impregnable and will not let you down! You can go north and leave here. I will feel at ease here and give it a try!"
The Mirage Emperor nodded again. Of course, he could not be trapped in the Mirage City. That would be equivalent to blocking his own escape route.
Therefore, he must leave, but he is not at ease. After all, Mirage City is too important, both as a royal city and as a defensive fortress.
"Friends of Mirage are staying too!" In the end, Emperor Mirage decided to leave a close minister to supervise Mirage here.
Mirage nodded and accepted this reality.
Just as Mirage Wuk persuaded Mirage Emperor to leave Mirage City and go to the northern region, Mirage Wuyou was fighting hard at the outer positions of Mirage City.
He grabbed the phone and asked why the 3rd Armored Division retreated: "What do you mean you were violently attacked? Tell me clearly! Orc tanks? How come Orc tanks appeared on your defense line?"
He reached out to cover the receiver of the phone and looked at the officer on the side: "Isn't the 1st Armored Division currently exchanging fire with the Orc armored forces? Why are Orc tanks appearing on the flanks of the 3rd Armored Division?"
"I don't know, General! Maybe the orcs took apart the armored units and used them?" the officer guessed with some uncertainty.
"Hello? Hello! Your flank may just be a small group of armored troops of the orcs! Let's investigate clearly before we tell you! Don't retreat! After we investigate carefully, we can't... what? What did you say?" Mirage Wuyou's eyes widened in surprise.
He listened to what the other party said for a long time, then sighed and ordered: "Your troops are allowed to retreat 20 kilometers! The safety of the railway line must be guaranteed! Do you understand?"
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and looked at the officer next to him again: "The people from the 3rd Armored Division said that the Orc troops on their flanks use a new designation, and their logo is a wild boar."
"Isn't the symbol of the Orcs' armored force a wolf?" The officer was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "The Orcs' second armored division?"
"That's almost it." Mirage Wuyou walked to the front of the map with an ugly face, and gestured on it with his hand: "The 3rd Armored Division cannot withstand it. As soon as they withdraw... the defense line of the 1st Armored Division will collapse.
Already."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It will only take two or three days before Mirage City will be surrounded." He sighed: "Things are getting troublesome."
On the front of the battlefield, before the mirage army could react, the orc troops launched a fierce attack. Different from the past artillery bombardment greetings, the orc troops launched two divisions into the attack and penetrated the goblin's army at once.
Line of defense.
Regardless of sacrifice, they just broke through the minefields laid by the goblins and smashed the outer defense line of the mirage deployed by the goblins head-on.
Those forts and bunkers failed to stop the Orc Empire's attack, because the Tang Empire reinforced 100 No. 4 assault guns for the attacking Orc infantry.
With the cover of armor, the attack of the orc troops became smoother. Although they were still a little uncomfortable with the new equipment, they were much stronger than the mirage troops who didn't even have many cotton-padded clothes.
The overwhelming artillery fire taught the Mirage Army what it means to be truly powerful. With the support of more than 20 warships of the Tang Imperial Navy, the Mirage Army's positions near the sea were quickly breached across the board.
The power of hundreds of naval guns is not comparable to that of more than a hundred army artillery. The naval artillery has a faster rate of fire and a longer range, turning the goblin's position into a sea of fire.
Immediately afterwards, under the cover of assault guns, the Orc troops launched a fierce attack, advancing 10 kilometers in one day, like a sharp knife, directly penetrating into the suburbs of Mirage City.
This stirred up a hornet's nest. The mirage troops fought back desperately, causing hundreds of casualties just to allow the orc troops to give up a trench.
The two sides exchanged fierce fire near the suburbs. In the end, the orc troops could only retreat about 500 meters and pulled out the buildings in the suburbs, and then stabilized their defense line.
The Mirage Army did not achieve a complete victory. After losing more than 5,000 people, Mirage Wuk rushed back to the headquarters and finally blocked all the orc troops in the outskirts of the Mirage City.
However, at this time, the position of the orc troops was only more than 300 meters away from the mirage city, and the orc artillery could easily fire into the mirage city area.
It was not until the next day that Mirwuk understood the scale of the battle launched by the Orcs: on the flanks, the newly formed 2nd Armored Division of the Orcs was rampaging and was about to cut off the railways and roads connecting the Mirage capital with the northern region.
The mirage has almost been completely surrounded, and most of the frontal defensive positions have been lost, leaving only the last field defense line built on the edge of the city. If the fight continues, the two sides will engage in street fighting in the mirage!
Judging from the total strength, the orc army has invested approximately 150,000 people! This scale is enough to surprise the mirage.
He never expected that the orcs would launch another offensive in such cold weather. With almost no preparations, the goblin gun was expected to last for more than a month, enough to drag the war into the winter field defense line.
lost……
This is just the beginning. In the next three days, the orc troops will continue to attack, and the goblin troops will retreat no matter which direction they go.
The good news is that such a defeat forced Mirage Emperor to run away quickly, which made Mirage Wuke feel worried; the bad news is that the defeat of Mirage Army made Mirage Wuke lose confidence. He did not know his own Mirage defense line.
Will it be able to survive until winter comes?
"His Majesty's motorcade has left the other courtyard." The Mirage friends who were left behind brought the good news that the Mirage Emperor had left.
Mirage breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The orcs' attack was so fierce. I didn't expect... Mirage Haiping, who fought hard in the central mountainous area, withstood such huge pressure."
"He's in a mountainous area... Orc tanks can't be used, right?" Mirage Wuyou poured a glass of wine each for his boss and Minister Mirage Wenyou, and handed them to the two of them: "Here's some good news. Chapter 1
The 3rd Armored Division... just received a replenishment of supplies... they now have tanks."
He paused and added with a wry smile: "Two!"
