Chapter 500: Urus's Defeat in the West
Even if the revolutionary soldiers fought bravely, they could not change one fact.
This is the fact that the revolutionary army was defeated.
Because when the orc army entered the city, the outcome was already determined.
But no one, including Urus, was willing to accept this result.
No matter who is in Urus' position, they will not choose to give up Landry easily.
But things went counterproductive.
After a day of fierce fighting, the Revolutionary Army lost 40 percent of the area within Landry.
Forty percent of the area was occupied by the orc army.
The revolutionary army fought to the death with the Orc Empire soldiers in Landry for a whole day with the scraps in their hands.
Not only did they fail to repel the Orc Empire's army, but the area they lost became larger and larger.
And Urus received today's battle report, and he fell silent after reading it.
Because the number of revolutionary soldiers killed exceeded 3000, 500 were missing, 6000 were slightly injured, and 2000 were seriously injured.
Seeing this number, Urus' heart bleeds.
Today alone, the revolutionary army lost tens of thousands of combat-capable soldiers.
This is not a cold weapon war, this is a hot weapon war.
Ten thousand hangs in one day, this is not the Somme crossing! This is just Landry!
Urus looked at the report helplessly, thinking that there would be another fierce battle tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Urus felt sick.
Urus arrived at the wounded camp.
Before I got close, I could hear the soldiers' groans of pain.
"Captain, do you think we can defeat the Orc Empire? Marshal Urus said that as long as we fight according to the map, we can usher in peace.
But after fighting round and round, we still haven't achieved peace.
Although I know that the Marshal led us to fight for peace, I really can’t see the future...Does peace really exist..."
The soldier said with difficulty.
The company commander on the hospital bed nearby fell silent after hearing this.
Yes! Where is the peace?
Everyone says that you will get it if you hit it in a circle, but how many circles have you hit?
As this soldier spoke, the other wounded soldiers also chose to remain silent.
Yes, although Urus has been trying to persuade them.
But the reality is that they were directly defeated by the Orc Empire Army in one battle...
It turns out that it wasn't that they were strong, it was that the previous enemies were too weak...
Urus saw all this and looked at the demoralized army.
Urus had already understood that there was no point in fighting any further.
It’s not that Landry is not important, but the soldiers simply don’t have the heart to continue fighting.
The casualties were too great...
Urus finally decided to retreat.
Because Landry has now become a ruin, Landry is very important from a strategic point of view.
But no matter how important it is, can it be as important as the soldiers?
It's not worth sacrificing the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers for a ruin!
Urus immediately made a choice and ordered his troops to deploy explosives in the city of Landry.
Since you want to leave, just raze this city to the ground!
By then, there will be no dangerous places left at the junction of the Midwest.
Both sides can hurt each other.
But Urus has already thought of a countermeasure.
He deployed a large number of temporary defense lines in the western region, and these defense lines were built strictly in accordance with the standards of the Wehrmacht.
A large number of machine guns were used to form a terrifying machine gun fire network, which could ensure that no enemy would cross the defense line.
This is the real confidence of Urus.
After burying a large amount of explosives, Urus woke everyone up in the middle of the night and informed them to abandon Landry, but Urus still gave a speech.
He knew that the army's morale was low and he had to do something to stabilize it.
“Comrades, I know we suffered a bad defeat today, we didn’t hold Landry.
Many of you think that this is your problem. Because you are not strong enough, but I want to tell you this.
You are good soldiers of the revolutionary army, you have fought for a day, you are real heroes, no matter what our outcome is, you have persisted for a day. No one else can resist the elite troops of the Orc Empire for a day under absolute disadvantages!
You are the best! Comrades, the road of revolution is still long, and we still have a long way to go.
Landry is just a city. A temporary failure does not mean anything. It only means that we have lost in Landry. But can this negate our efforts?
No, no one can deny our efforts!
Some people may think that if we withdraw now, we are giving up Landry and being sorry for the comrades who died tragically.
But if we continue to hold on, more people will die because of this city.
Would your fallen comrades be willing to see all of us die here?
We evacuate Landry today so that we can return to Landry tomorrow!"
After Urus finished speaking, he gave the order to retreat.
In fact, the Revolutionary Army could have given it a try, because the Lanno army had already blocked most of the Orc Empire's troops on the periphery.
Only 50,000 to 60,000 orc troops entered the city of Landry.
If casualties are ignored, Urus's revolutionary army can definitely recapture Landry.
But does this make sense?
If the walls of Landry were still there, Urus might have given it a try, but now he was faced with this ruin.
Urus doesn't want to gamble with the Revolutionary Army...
Seeing this scene, many high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army became very impatient, thinking that this was handing Landry over to the enemy.
But everyone forgot that Urus was just a boy who was not even 20 years old.
He had experienced the saturation attack from Da Yan, so he understood.
If a war is fought to the end for a meaningless city, then the war is about to end...
Perhaps retreat has a bad reputation, but Urus is willing to bear it.
As a young man, and a young man who has experienced war.
Urus did not want to see too many casualties, although he knew that this was a kind of womanly kindness. There is always death in war.
But Urus will try his best to reduce casualties as much as he can.
The army quickly retreated and disappeared into the night.
The next day, the orc army launched a general attack early in the morning.
Then the orc army was stunned because they found that the city in front of them was empty.
Even the bodies of the revolutionary soldiers were taken away!
The Orc Empire soldiers looked as if they had seen a ghost, and immediately reported the situation.
Then Bachmut was dumbfounded, looking at the map and falling into deep thought.
What is this new tactic?
While Bachmut was still thinking, Landry exploded!
"boom!"
A loud noise woke Bachmut up immediately.
be cheated!
(Good night, my roommate’s air conditioner was turned on too low and I caught a cold (╥﹏╥))
