Chapter 165 Battle for the Sardinian Territory 6 March)
The Sea Lion Corps is an amphibious corps. In addition to a Sea Lion fleet composed of 80 combat ships, there is also a corps-direct transport fleet that is only about half the size of a conventional transport fleet. Both have a size of 6,000 people. Once the former
If many personnel are lost in a naval battle, the latter can immediately replace them, and they will fight together in a land battle.
As an elite corps, the Sea Lion Corps has left a deep impression on players with its maritime combat capabilities, and its land combat capabilities are equally powerful. The only drawback is that as a land and sea amphibious force, it lacks cavalry and has only a small number of officer mounts.
A pure infantry corps.
However, although there is no cavalry unit, a heavy infantry regiment of about 500 people in the Sea Lion Legion is famous throughout the Yar continent.
The gathering of player troops went relatively smoothly, and at 8:30 the players were all here.
Yun Xiaohan immediately led the team and set off for the city of Cagliari.
Marching seems very simple, just walking, but as the number of players increases, this simple thing becomes no longer simple. It can even be said to be the biggest problem a commander encounters.
In the past, it was okay to use ships as units. Ships were more conspicuous and the number was only over 300. But now that there are 2,000 players, it is easy to fall behind.
2,000 people are walking on the road, and the formation is naturally stretched out. Moreover, some players are not very focused during the march. They often run to both sides of the road to take a look, open the map, and learn about gathering life.
Players with skills will go to dig nearby materials from time to time. (Combat professions can also learn life skills, because the collection of materials during the 28th period is not affected, and the harvest rate is reduced to 50% during the 38th period, so combat professional players who learn gathering skills
Still a lot.)
In this case, the number of players that the commander-in-chief can take care of by himself is very limited, and it is inevitable that some will fall behind. In exaggerated cases, it is possible for about 1/4 of the players to escape, not to mention this
The march distance in this battle was still relatively long.
However, because Yun Xiaohan has such experience, he has already made targeted arrangements.
Yun Xiaohan selected 14 players with better sense of direction in Lingqiong Pavilion to help him manage the march. Among them, 9 people plus Yun Xiaohan divided the team into 10 sections, with each person taking care of one section and the other 5 people.
They are responsible for passing information up and down, checking for deficiencies, and providing guidance to players who are far away from the marching team.
Yun Xiaohan specially told these five players before the battle, asking them not to persuade or stop the players' undisciplined behavior. If someone ran out of the team to do their own thing, they just had to follow them.
, no need to say anything more, just let the other person know that someone is accompanying him, staring at him, and not feeling so comfortable.
If it happens too often, most players with a normal mentality will still feel embarrassed and will naturally stop running around.
For the kind of person who gets more and more interested in you, just write down his ID. There is nothing you can do about this kind of person, and it is useless to talk about it. Just don't play with him next time.
After walking for about 5 minutes, the team passed by the city of Sassari, which was a small city and was not included in the scoring rules of this battle. Naturally, Yun Xiaohan would not waste his troops attacking the city.
However, Yun Xiaohan suddenly saw a figure suddenly appear under the city of Sassari, and the figure was running towards the player team.
When the other party got a little closer, Yun Xiaohan saw clearly that the other party was an NPC. He immediately thought of the NPC that his friend mentioned when collecting intelligence, who temporarily joined the player's army.
But what is not consistent with what my friend told me is that this NPC does not ride a horse.
This NPC wears a dome hat, has fluffy blond hair on his head, and has a thick beard. His appearance is relatively old-school, giving people a very mature and stable feeling.
After the NPC ran closer, he directly found Yun Xiaohan, who was leading the way, and performed a standard knight's bow. Because Yun Xiaohan was located in front of him on the right, he held the center of the front brim of his hat with his left hand and took off the hat. He lowered his right hand and turned his body towards
Upright, stand at attention, look at Yun Xiaohan with both eyes, tilt the upper part of the body forward about fifteen degrees, and then return to the original position.
After the salute was over, Yun Xiaohan was pulled into the plot interactive mode, and the other party asked directly: "Excuse me, Sir, are you the commander of this unit?"
Yun Xiaohan answered yes, and the NPC continued: "I am Giuseppe Garibaldi. I hope to join your army temporarily. Sardinia is my hometown, but I studied at the Central Imperial Army Academy for 5 years.
.I believe that joining the Empire is the best choice for the Sardinian Territory."
Naturally, Yun Xiaohan would not refuse and agreed immediately.
Giuseppe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his request was agreed. But then he said hesitantly: "Sir, I'm sorry, I am a knight. I was planning to take advantage of you not to arrive in Sasa
I wanted to get a horse from the city, but I didn’t expect your troops to arrive so soon, so..."
Yun Xiaohan immediately received a system prompt: "Giuseppe Garibaldi, as a knight-type NPC, does not own horses, which greatly affects his combat effectiveness. Players can provide him with horses, which not only
Its combat effectiveness will be significantly improved, and its friendliness towards you will also change based on your choice."
Three options immediately popped up in front of Yun Xiaohan:
1. Refusal to provide horses.
2. Lend him a horse temporarily.
3. Give him a horse. Please note that once this choice is made, the ownership of the horse will be permanently transferred. It cannot be taken back even if the battle is lost, and no compensation can be obtained.
Seeing these three choices, Yun Xiaohan was a little happy, because there are currently not many people in the server who own horses. After all, horses are not cheap. They cost 1 gold, and the knight profession also costs 50 silver. Yun Xiaohan has only had it so far.
There are 1 gold, 29 silver and 30 bronze.
This option of providing horses is obviously very beneficial to him, and he may have missed the fact that there is no such store in this village.
Yun Xiaohan was still a bit of a gambler. He gritted his teeth and decisively chose option 3 as he was unwilling to let go of his children and could not trap the wolf.
Click on the option, and the plot interaction mode immediately begins to evolve automatically, with several dialogue options appearing, and even options for complete freedom of play.
Yun Xiaohan was still somewhat confident in his expressive ability and the orderliness of his words, so he chose to express himself freely and said: "I will give you my mount. My riding skills are not good, and the horse is a waste in my hands.
I’d rather give it to you so that it can play a greater role.”
Giuseppe did not speak, but bowed again, but this time the tilt angle reached almost 60 degrees.
Then Yun Xiaohan's yellow gelding immediately appeared in front of the two of them, and two prompts appeared. One was a prompt for the horse's ownership transfer, and the other was a prompt for Giuseppe's favorability towards Yun Xiaohan to reach trust. Plot interactive mode
