I have no idea of the actual situation over there, but in general: I'd hate to advance to a defended urban area. If the city can be taken by just walking in I'd take it and fortify. It would be an opportunity too good to miss as tomorrow the orcs may be there and things get much more complicated (remember Mariupol).
