On the streets of Darkas, trucks are moving eastward. The Tang Army has completely occupied this place. The headquarters of the Dwarf Eastern Front has surrendered at this time.
All the non-commissioned officers and senior officers inside surrendered, and except for Xie Ke himself, all became prisoners of the Tang Empire.
When the Tang Army's armored vehicles rushed to the headquarters, Xie Ke swallowed a poison that had been prepared long ago. When the Tang Army's troops entered the headquarters, he was already a corpse.
At this point, the Eastern Front Army Group established by the dwarves, which consisted of three armies, was completely annihilated by the Tang Army and removed from the order.
It was also on this day that the Tang Army's reconnaissance force crossed the Porter River and began to advance south of Ironforge. The battle situation in the entire Ice Empire had basically been decided.
The resistance of the dwarves completely collapsed, and the 11th Army was unable to support itself. It also chose to surrender the day after the Eastern Front Army was completely annihilated.
Except for Ironforge, there are no dwarf resistance forces nearby. Further south, dwarf local officials and a small number of garrison commanders have also begun to discuss surrender.
They had no ability to resist, so they had only one option: surrender: all the supplies and produced weapons had been sent to the north. Now if they were allowed to fight, what would they fight for?
The personnel and everything they could get had been consumed in the Battle of Ironforge, and at this moment they couldn't even muster enough troops.
Of course, the coalition liaison personnel who are still active in these areas still hope that the dwarf troops in these places can resist. Because as long as they continue to fight, they can buy more time for the elves.
But although these people are active, even they know very well that it is impossible for these second-rate local garrison troops to last long.
Just when the war situation collapsed, in the underground bunker of Ironforge, the prime minister of the Ice Empire stared at the dusty Emperor Binghan I with his mouth open, and he felt bad all over.
He thought that Binghan I had gone to the south, but he didn't expect that the other party had returned to the encirclement of Ironforge...
"Your Majesty, why are you back?" Looking at Binghan I walking back to his office, he asked in shock.
"Marshal Xie Ke has achieved a decisive victory in the southern region. Of course I have to come back here..." Binghan I seemed to be unaware of everything that had happened, and replied calmly.
In fact, he really didn't know what happened. He rushed back to Ironforge in the hope of personally confirming whether the 11th and 12th armies had broken through and returned.
"How's it going? Have the 11th and 12th Army Groups arrived in the west area of the city? We can let them counterattack to recapture the West Station and drive the Tang Army out of the city to the west." He didn't receive any radios along the way, and he couldn't.
, so there is no way to know anything at all.
When he left his headquarters and returned north to Ironforge, Xie Ke in the south was still preparing to attack Anrich, and the 11th and 12th Army in the north were still struggling. The situation had not collapsed to the point where it is today.
.
But when he left his headquarters and returned north, the sky had changed. The troops of the Tang Empire had swept around Ironforge, and now it had become an isolated city.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't come back." The prime minister said with a serious face and did not answer Binghan I's question.
"Huh?" Binghan I glanced at his prime minister dissatisfied, snorted and said: "This is my empire, I can go wherever I want, is there any problem with this?"
The prime minister didn't know what the problem was. He only knew that it was too late to say anything now, and his last illusion had been shattered. His Majesty the Emperor was now standing in front of him.
"For military matters, you can ask Chief of Staff Larbu and Marshal Balov. Your Majesty, I... nothing, I have nothing to report to you." After the prime minister finally said this tiredly,
He lowered his head and stopped talking.
What else could he say? At this moment, he felt dizzy, and his whole body seemed to have lost all strength. He had devoted all his efforts to this empire, and now it all seemed to have been in vain.
"Then come to them, tell them that I have come back, and let them report the latest battle situation to me." Binghan I frowned, seeming to be aware of the problem. However, he still gave the order, and then ordered: "Get ready.
Some food and wine..."
Larbu's face was still in shock when he rushed over. His staff headquarters was not far from the underground bunker, so he came over quickly.
But he did not go to see Binghan I first, but came to the prime minister's office. As soon as he entered the door, he asked with excitement: "Damn it, what is your Majesty doing back here at this time? Doesn't he know that this place is already...
…”
"Yes, he doesn't know." The prime minister replied bitterly: "Is it too late to let him leave now?"
"I don't know. The entire passage south is full of broken troops and refugees... The Tang army may appear near these passages at any time, and there is no guarantee of safety at all." Larbu shook his head and said: "If he sets out immediately now
, there may still be a chance to go to the south, but... you know, the size of the guard team that goes with him... the way he goes to the south now is completely different from the one he went to more than ten days ago. "
Going south with hundreds of thousands of troops from the Eastern Front, and going further south alone now, are indeed two completely different situations. Now that he goes south alone, he will easily fall into danger.
The coalition forces may kidnap him and carry him to the elves' territory to encourage the restless forces in the dwarf area to continue to resist. The local dwarf officials may also kidnap him directly and send him to the Tang Empire.
Use this to ensure your own safety and strive for more benefits...
In short, running to the south now is not called retreat, it can only be called fleeing. After retreating, you can still struggle, but after fleeing, you can only resign yourself to fate.
"Then you and Marshal Balov tell him all the truth and let him know how many stupid decisions he has made in the past year." At this time, the prime minister was no longer polite and directly told him.
