When Ugohr ordered a bombardment on the buildings' facades, he didn't intend to kill the Sith Lords in the buildings outright, only the men stationed in wait in the upper levels waiting. To him the objective was to draw out the Sith Lords. Minefield or no minefield, now there is rubble everywhere, blocking the street, mostly under the form of durasteel, furniture and transparisteel shards. As he feels the two Sith Lords' signatures in the Force fading, Ugohr had to think of another path to take for the tank squadron, now that they punched enough holes in the buildings in their forward arcs to make the lowermost ten levels look like Emmenthal cheese. After all, when two laser cannon shots impact a transparisteel window close one another, the impact on the main structure is felt as well. And the blast caused by bombarding the outer walls on the bottommost ten levels caused shards, furniture to be sent flying all over the place. But concealing one's signature in the Force works less and less well the more a Jedi approached a concealed source. To Ugohr, to sense one's signature fade gradually is an indication both Sith Lords were alive; a quick death would cause the Force-signature to disappear altogether equally fast.
"Few men could survive a fall of seeks or sevin levels without usin da Force: wesa have caused da Sith Lords to go to peripheral streets alongside da survivors. Wesa no blast da wall of rubble"
"We must give chase to the Sith Lords in the peripheral streets: even Sith Lords would find it too dangerous to defend a minefield by placing troops directly on it, even if the mines were buried under meters of durasteel rubble" the Jawa XO of the Rings of the Lord told Ugohr
"First Legion, Sevinth Legion, disen General Poof, a wall of rubble issa blocken da main boulevard"
"How could their engineers form a wall of rubble without exposing themselves to the minefield they themselves laid?" the communications officer of the First Legion asked Ugohr.
"Da profile of da wall of rubble issa berry irregular: seems to be highest close to the sidewalks and taper off in da center. Wesa have bombed enemy positions on da upper levels in da main boulevard"
He changes channels to address the tank squadron, with the hunt for Sith Lords forcing them to consider fanning out in smaller avenues, even after the Army of Malastare lost about one-third of its men in the early stages of the battle, despite losing just one flail. The enemy has clearly considered infantry to be a greater threat than what they considered to be combat engineering; enemy intelligence just assumed that minesweeping vehicles were unarmed or thay they were to capture them. They may have failed to clear the minefield beyond the first city block, about a half-kilometer worth of streets, accomplishing only roughly one-twentieth of the mission Alliance High Command had the Army of Malastare do: clearing the mines between the outer limits of the Financial District and the Senate building so that the 1st and 7th Legions can make their junction with the 5th Legion, led by General [member="Aela Talith"].
"On the one hand, general, that wall of rubble is preventing us from clearing the minefield. On the other hand, we will make our junction with the 5th Legion much faster"
"Nardil, take yoursa group to da north, mesa take mesa group to da south"
"Roger that, General"
They found that the peripheral avenue is blocked in both directions by enemy tanks, which makes their hunt for Sith Lords that much more complicated. But, unlike the Zamboni they are fighting in, these tanks were tracked. They could render one immobile by destroying the treads; however, the retraction process of rotating flails caused the enemy to target the flails themselves, hoping to cripple their mount vehicles by aiming at their exposed front while the flails retract. But their first salvo only managed to destroy the flails. By now the Rings of the Lord are unable to clear mines any longer... making them like an ordinary tank unit and the Alliance is, functionally, without minesweepers. Ugohr had to make the enemy pay for the destruction of their rotating flails, while, at the same time, Ugohr sensed that a mobile artillery platform much larger than a tank is coming their way.
"Aim for da joint between da turret and da hull, preferrably a side location if possible; otherwise aim for da treads. Anti-tank units, grenadiers, position yoursa-selves in da street corners!"
