Under the command of Napoleon, his troops defeated the merchant alliance troops outside a village in a very short period of time. After defeating the surrounding troops, Napoleon did not waste time. He directly led troops to attack the merchant alliance troops in other villages.
troops, leaving only one officer and a small number of troops to unite the imperial troops guarding the village and the few prisoners captured in the battle. These prisoners will be used as cannon fodder after the weapons are collected.
The officer directly conveyed Napoleon's order to the imperial troops guarding the village - to abandon the village and bring all the food they could carry to join Napoleon as soon as possible.
Napoleon relieved the siege of two more villages at an extremely fast speed, and continued to leave his officers behind to allow the garrison troops to abandon the villages and join him. But no matter how fast Napoleon moved, he could not leave all the enemies behind when he relieved the siege.
After coming down, it was impossible for the other Merchant Alliance troops surrounding the village not to know the news, so when he relieved the fourth village, he would no longer be able to sneak attack on the enemy.
Although sneak attacks were no longer possible, Napoleon had a clear advantage in terms of military strength when facing the Merchant Alliance troops surrounding the village, which numbered only more than 1,000 people. In addition, the imperial troops' combat strength had greatly increased under Napoleon's command. Even if the enemy was well prepared, they would at most be
Even if it took him a little longer, Napoleon still easily defeated the enemy.
However, when Napoleon and the players arrived at the fifth village, they found that the defenders who had originally besieged the village had evacuated in advance. Napoleon immediately realized that the enemy might have given up on besieging the village and chose to return to the city of Gloria.
Or maybe the merchant alliance troops from the remaining four villages are concentrating on a head-on battle with him.
Of these two choices, the former is naturally much more likely. After all, the enemies have been defeated by him 4 times. The escaped enemies will definitely bring his information with them. Even if the remaining merchant alliance troops surrounding the village are added
The number of defeated troops gathered was only 6,000, which was not as large as the troops commanded by Napoleon. In addition, the main forces of the Merchant Alliance had gone to attack the city of Gloria. Although the troops surrounding the villages were good, they were still weak compared to the siege troops.
There are differences.
At this time, Napoleon's safest choice is actually to continue to the other three villages to relieve the siege or counterattack. If the enemy chooses the latter option and fights head-on, they will definitely win, and if the enemies in the other three villages have already
After retreating, Napoleon could continue to guard the village troops and bring them back under his command to increase his own strength. Anyway, he would not suffer any loss.
After gathering these defenders, Napoleon's military strength will reach more than 10,000 people. With these troops in hand, coupled with the thousands of enemies he eliminated and the rescue of the imperial troops guarding the village, Napoleon has established a considerable
Thanks for the credit. Even if they withdraw to Xueman City, no one will blame Napoleon for the failure. They will only reward Napoleon with a promotion.
But Napoleon's heart was too big. He was not satisfied with the achievements in front of him at all. He wanted to gain greater achievements, so he left an officer and a small number of soldiers to gather the defenders as before, while he led the troops directly
Pursuing in the direction of Gloya City, he wanted to intercept the retreating Merchant Alliance besieging the village troops and prevent them from returning to Gloya City.
It would have been better if the enemy did not withdraw to the city of Gloria but chose to concentrate in a certain village. Napoleon could just turn around and eat them.
The large force had withdrawn, and it had just been withdrawn. It was impossible to cover up the various traces on the road. After following the enemy's tracks for a while, Napoleon determined that the enemy had withdrawn to the city of Gloria, rather than concentrating on other villages.
.
After determining the enemy's direction of action, Napoleon became even more anxious. He worked with his mage group to use war magic to increase the movement speed of all troops (players in the mage group only need to provide mana, and Napoleon himself presides over the casting of war magic).
, while constantly urging his troops to advance faster, even if the morale of his soldiers continued to decline.
That is to say, Napoleon had won several small victories in a row to boost the morale of his soldiers, and with the command BUFF that increased morale by 50%, the morale of his soldiers could still be maintained at a high level. Without
There may be cases of passive slowdown or even active collapse.
But even so, there are still many slower-moving troops falling behind. For example, the warrior troops wearing heavy plate armor were left behind while running. Napoleon did not slow down and waited for these troops to fall behind.
Instead, they continued to ask the troops to advance at high speed, leaving only a few officers to lead these lagging troops to continue chasing forward.
Napoleon's idea was very simple. Since the enemy was evacuating to the city of Gloria, they had no intention of fighting. Moreover, the merchant alliance troops from the four enemy villages were not concentrated. The estimated strength was less than 1,500. Such a small number of enemies was nothing.
With fighting spirit, Napoleon would definitely be able to win even if he had fewer troops.
The progress of the war was as Napoleon expected. Since the enemy had a short withdrawal time, they quickly caught up with the retreating troops.
After being overtaken by Napoleon, the Merchant Alliance troops wanted to leave a few troops to stop them at first, while others continued to evacuate. However, after a wave of long-range coverage attacks led by Napoleon, the blocking troops completely collapsed, and the enemy's morale instantly increased.
He surrendered and scrambled to flee.
However, no matter how hard these business alliance NPCs ran, they could not outrun Napoleon's troops who were blessed with war acceleration magic. In addition, Napoleon used his own speed advantage to continuously command the mage group and long-range troops to carry out covering strikes, which even reduced all the enemy's fighting spirit.
They're all gone.
Many players who were fast runners at the time even told Yun Xiaohan that when they caught up with them during the battle, they discovered that the commander of the enemy unit had been killed by Napoleon during the coverage strike. Without the commander, the enemy would be even more vulnerable.
It is impossible to resist.
Just like chopping melons and vegetables, a merchant alliance force of nearly 1,500 people was completely defeated in 2 minutes. About 1/3 of the enemies were killed, 1/3 of the enemies chose to surrender, and 1/3 of the enemies chose to surrender.
/3 enemy morale completely collapses.
A complete collapse of morale means that the morale drops to 0. Soldiers whose morale has completely collapsed cannot be gathered unless they encounter an NPC with strong command ability.
Soldiers who have completely collapsed will become deserters. Most of these deserters will flee back to areas under their country's stable control (they will not run to newly captured areas like Gloya City), but a small number will also flee to
Enemy territory. Some of the soldiers who fled back to their home country will be recruited again, but they will no longer participate in the battle in the short term, while other deserters and soldiers who fled to enemy territory will lose their status as soldiers and turn into a war
refugee.
For example, after the city of Gloya was captured, the imperial soldiers lost their will to fight and fled voluntarily because they discovered that the city lord was fleeing. Their morale did not drop to 0.
