Chapter 1682 1683 Battle of Ironforge

On the outskirts of Ironforge, a shell landed next to a trench that had been blown beyond recognition, shocking the dwarf soldiers hiding inside into a state of disgrace. Many were even buried in the dust raised by the shell.

The Tang army's attack has lasted for three days. During these three days, several of Ironforge's outermost defensive positions have been breached.

What made Tang Jun a little regretful was that the newest dwarf soldiers seemed to have not shouted the classic slogan that Tang Mo left for them for a long time.

Yes, the dwarf soldiers no longer shouted meaningless words like "Ura". They had abandoned the tradition given to them by Tang Mo and changed the habit of shouting "Ura" when charging and counterattacking.

This is also related to the dwarfs' counterattack tactics: most of the dwarf soldiers who dare to fight back are lunatics who have eaten black crows, so it is not surprising that they cannot shout slogans.

Inside the palace, Binghan Yishi paced back and forth anxiously. It seemed that he was always walking in circles recently. His irritable state even made the ministers in the court extremely nervous.

"Why? Why can't you stop it? Ten thousand people are killed or injured every day, and you haven't been able to stop the Tang army! You couldn't stop it even once! You are trash!" Looking at his incompetent subordinates, Binghan Yishi scolded angrily.

Marshal Barov, whom he had high hopes for, and another marshal Sheko were unable to stop the Tang army from advancing southward.

Ironforge is now a real frontline city. Its northern suburbs have become a battlefield. The Tang army is trying to control several villages. The closest of these villages is only 15 kilometers away from Ironforge.

Yes, the area where the battle was taking place was less than 16 kilometers away from Ironforge. If the village was occupied by the Tang army, then the 155mm caliber howitzer would be able to drop shells into Ironforge.

"Your Majesty, calm down! The Tang army has assembled a large force to attack us, and the soldiers on the front line have done their best." The prime minister lowered his head and explained. He had to do this because it was also his duty to comfort Binghan Yishi.

"The Lions Empire has agreed to our request and will support us with another 200 aircraft, 400 machine tools of various models, and 600 workers..." A minister in charge of liaison quickly spoke up and announced the good news.

Seeing that the Emperor looked much better, another minister stepped forward and added, "Susas has also agreed to provide us with 100 machine tools, so that we can restore some of our pre-war productivity."

Although there was still a lot of bad news, the two ministers who were reporting on their work only picked out the good news.

Sure enough, their efforts were not in vain. Yang Muyi nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Finally, we have two good news..."

This was indeed the best news he had heard recently. For most of the rest of the time, he could only hear about warships being sunk and troops being defeated.

Seeing that the emperor was very pleased, another minister said something nice: "Your Majesty, there is another good news... Dorne's troops have crossed the border and have arrived in the southern part of our country."

If the two pieces of news about reinforcement supplies mentioned above were just encouraging, then the real combat troops coming all the way from Dorne were undoubtedly the force that Ice Cold I most wanted.

Upon hearing the news, Binghan I clenched his fist and pounded his palm, saying excitedly: "Okay! Let them go north immediately and try to advance to the designated position before the battle begins." "With reinforcements, sufficient ammunition and weapons and equipment, I can wait here!" Binghan I clenched his fist and said firmly to his men.

He didn't care about casualties or losses. He just wanted to defend Ironforge. For this reason, he even gave up his plan to escape.

Many ministers advised him to abandon Ironforge and retreat south to a safe area to continue commanding the remaining troops to fight, but Iceforge I was unwilling to leave his Ironforge and unwilling to give up this holy place that all dwarves yearned for.

Although the Tang army's tanks were less than 40 kilometers away from where he was, he still did not leave. He was so determined that even many ministers felt that Binghan I was ready to defend Ironforge to the last moment.

In order to ensure that he would not go crazy in the underground air-raid shelter, Binghan Yishi would even go out for a walk every night, walk around his air-raid shelter a few times to relax.

Even so, he had no intention of leaving the city and heading south. When someone even suggested that he leave Ironforge, he angrily put the person in prison.

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as we defend Ironforge, the situation will develop in our favor!" The Prime Minister stood firmly with his Majesty the Emperor.

  Soon the reinforcements from Dorne will arrive, and the support from the elves will also arrive. Then they can rely on Ironforge to deal a fatal blow to the arrogant Tang army!

Street fighting, this is their magic weapon to win!

During the offensive, the coalition forces were in a field battle and had no cities to rely on. However, during a defensive battle, cities would become the coalition forces' greatest support.

Even the Everwinter City held out for a long time after being surrounded, which shows that the Tang army could not exert its full power in street fighting. Therefore, in the Battle of Ironforge, their coalition forces had an advantage!

Whether they were just consoling themselves or really believed in this stuff, Binghan I and his ministers all thought that the outcome of this battle was undecided.

Although during their meeting, many civilians in the suburbs could already hear the faint sound of artillery fire in the distance. Although Tang Army planes had become frequent visitors to the skies over Ironforge, often circling for a long time and refusing to leave.

Even though the Tang army was continuously compressing the dwarven defenses from both wings, forcing the dwarves to give up the east and west sides of Ironforge... Binghan Yishi and his men still believed that they could hold on here and wait for the situation to change.

Although I don't know where their confidence comes from, they do believe it firmly.

Another shell landed on the defense line outside the village, and dust flew everywhere. The dwarf soldiers in the trenches took shelter with their rifles, stepped over the bodies of their companions, and ran to another hiding place in the smoke and dust.

The machine gun position not far away was spewing flames. The dwarf defenders, who lacked heavy weapons, hoped to use this method to stop the advance of the Tang tanks. However, they were soon blown away by the shells, leaving only a smoking crater in place.

The battle is still going on, and the dwarf soldiers are constantly retreating... They are getting closer and closer to the imperial capital behind them.
