After quickly completing the expansion of his troops, Napoleon led his army to raid the city of Bastia.
Since Napoleon completely blocked the news after capturing the village of Ajaccio, and the time to expand new recruits was extremely short, there was no time for the city of Bastia to react.
Moreover, most of Napoleon's troops were locals. After being broken into pieces, they easily sneaked into the city of Bastia. Therefore, in the face of Napoleon's surprise attack, the defenseless city of Bastia did not last long before changing hands.
and successfully captured some ships from the defenders.
Unfortunately, this batch of ships is still mainly transport ships and cargo ships. Not many warships can be grabbed, and they are basically small warships. Basically, medium-sized warships cannot be grabbed. If you are lucky, you can at most grab one.
There is no way, after all, Napoleon's troops are limited, and it is impossible to capture all the defenders. The defenders will take the initiative to flee when they find that the situation is over. When they leave Bastia, they will try their best to take away the more powerful medium-sized warships.
.
In fact, if it were not for the serious shortage of ship operators, each ship had to be assigned at least the minimum number of sailors required to operate the ship, and he was busy escaping and did not have enough time to destroy the ship, Napoleon would have captured even fewer ships.
The main point of the competition between the two players is here. The imperial players must kill the enemy as much as possible and seize as many ships as possible, while the players in the defending camp (maybe the Merchant Alliance or the Austrian Law Council control Corsi
Kashima) needs to preserve its own strength as much as possible and take away more ships.
Once Napoleon's assault on the city of Bastia is triggered, no server's defending camp can win. The empire's advantage is simply too great.
The entire process of Napoleon leading his army into the city is a plot, and the player cannot intervene. When the battle officially begins and the player can control his character, Napoleon's raid on the city of Bastia has been successful.
At this time, the morale of all defending players and NPCs will be greatly reduced by 50 points, and each person will be hung with a negative BUFF that reduces their combat effectiveness by 30%. The oppressed local people in Bastia will also be encouraged by Napoleon's troops.
They launched a counterattack, but these people would only attack the defenders and would not participate in seizing the ship.
In this situation, even if Yun Xiaohan is on the defensive side, he cannot withstand it, and he cannot bring followers with him in this battle. Whether he is commanding on the spot or dueling, the current Yun Xiaohan is far from being a chosen one like Napoleon.
Not to mention there are so many disadvantages.
No matter how powerful the players are at on-the-spot command, it is still incomparable with highly intelligent AI. Yun Xiaohan's advantage mainly lies in strategizing and grasping the player's psychology. How can this battle be played if it is fast forwarded to the final stage? He can only play at most
Just take away or destroy more ships to make the situation less ugly.
There is no way, an NPC like Napoleon is the biological son of the system. Once his rise plot is triggered and the formal process begins, it is basically impossible to interrupt it.
After successfully capturing the city of Bastia, Napoleon immediately sent people to sail back to Xueman and seek reinforcements from the Marquis of Dogome.
Naturally, the Marquis of Dugome would not refuse Napoleon's request for help and immediately agreed to send reinforcements, and the number of reinforcements was related to the transportation capacity.
Although there are no warships in Xueman City, there are still some transport ships and cargo ships. Allocate some of them, plus the batch of ships that were just captured, and take advantage of the gap between the enemy camp to receive the news and re-send the island seizing force, it will be enough.
A round of safe troop transportation has been completed.
The second round of troop transportation cannot take place. It is very likely that the enemy fleet will be encountered on the way to the second round of troop transportation. With the empire's meager maritime power, the reinforcements and ships will definitely be destroyed.
Although it can only transport troops once, it can transport approximately 5,000 to 8,000 soldiers to Corsica. The specific number depends on the transport capacity. Although this number is not large, it is still a lot.
Moreover, the Marquis of Dugome took great care of Napoleon, knowing that he could only send reinforcements for one round, and the reinforcements he sent would try to select elite soldiers or veterans with stronger combat capabilities, so the quality was guaranteed.
In addition, the Marquis of Dugome also sent him a large number of magic crystal cannons at Napoleon's request. In "The Choice", Napoleon's specialty is commanding artillery and long-range magic power.
With the reinforcements and magic crystal cannons from the Marquis of Dugome, Napoleon can continue to recruit local people in Corsica to expand his troops. With Napoleon as a super NPC commanding him, it will not be difficult to defend the city.
And things developed exactly like this. Napoleon repeatedly repelled the forces of the Merchant Alliance or the Austrian-French Parliament who tried to retake the city of Bastia. However, this defensive battle did not generate a battle, and the players naturally did not participate in it.
Of course, Napoleon was able to defend the city of Bastia, but his ability was not the decisive factor. It was mainly because the Merchant League and the Offen-French Parliament did not pay attention to Corsica, and the two sides fought fiercely, and they did not want to further stimulate the empire for this remote country.
, so not many troops were sent to counterattack Corsica.
If the Merchant Alliance controlled Corsica before, this step would even trigger a plot in which the Merchant Alliance offered to abandon Corsica in order to formalize a truce with the Empire.
At this time, the empire camps of other servers are fighting the Battle of Mannheim Delta. They are basically at the stage where they have just finished the first act of the Battle of Mannheim Delta. Except for the first server of the country where Yun Xiaohan is located, the empires of other servers are either in
In the first act of the Battle of Mannheim Delta, they suffered a defeat and were expelled from the Mannheim Delta, or they barely made a draw with the North Country. Although they gained a foothold in the Mannheim Delta, they paid a much higher price than the North Country.
damage.
Since the Northern Kingdom poses a greater threat and has captured Strasbourg not long ago, the Empire obviously pays more attention to the war with the Northern Kingdom, not to mention that it just suffered a loss in the Mannheim Delta war, so it does not care about it.
Went to the Southern War Zone.
Moreover, Liya from the other server empire camp did not become the Duke of Sardinia, did not obtain the naval force of the Duchy of Sardinia, and was extremely lacking in maritime power. At this time, she was unable to compete for other territories in the Sardinian Territory.
Therefore, when the empires of other servers faced the truce proposal proposed by the Merchant Alliance, they would basically agree to it. However, the empire also had its own small calculations. It only signed a short-term temporary armistice agreement with the Merchant Alliance, which was not what the Merchant Alliance wanted.
Long-Term Armistice Agreement.
After all, the merchant alliance is a big piece of meat in the eyes of the empire. It is easy to bully and has more money than the northern kingdom. Once the northern kingdom is conquered, the empire still wants to continue to pursue the idea of the merchant alliance. Even if it cannot seize land from the merchant alliance, at least it will
Force the merchant alliance to pay reparations or sign a trade agreement beneficial to the empire.
