From the history that Yun Xiaohan knows, there has been no case of maritime projection on the Yar continent so far, and there is no strategy of entering enemy lines to harass and plunder.
This means that Yun Xiaohan will not encounter any obstacles in using sea projection tactics. The enemy will never think of it and will not guard against it. Moreover, he can also gain the reputation of a tactical innovator, which will help Yun Xiaohan improve his
Reputation among NPCs is obviously extremely beneficial.
Although the players all understand this, on the one hand, they cannot imagine that Yun Xiaohan will use sea projection tactics. On the other hand, the status of players in the game is still very low and they have little say. Even if they can react,
It is also unable to interfere with the NPC's command.
There are only two player guild territories in the Business Alliance, and they are both micro-villages. Micro-villages can only upgrade buildings to level 1, which means that they can only recruit up to 100 territorial soldiers, and territorial players have already participated in the campaign and cannot follow them.
The lord fights, so these 200 territorial soldiers are the limit of the troops that these two families can put out. With this small amount of troops, they are not enough to fill Yun Xiaohan's teeth.
This is the same as Yun Xiaohan's previous level suppression, which is a comprehensive suppression in terms of camp status and territory development. Compared with the level gap, Yun Xiaohan has greater advantages in these aspects. The level difference is 2 levels, and 3 levels are better.
They can still fight, but the difference in territory and camp status is so huge that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a world of difference, and this is the basis for Yun Xiaohan's dare to use sea projection tactics.
Yun Xiaohan explained his ideas to Liya. He has strong logical thinking skills and good expression skills. He clearly expressed the various advantages of sea delivery.
The investment in maritime projection tactics is small, but the benefits are large. It can hold back a large number of enemy troops with a smaller force, thereby gaining the initiative on the battlefield. Even if the merchant alliance wants to launch an attack in the future, it will have a lot of worries.
After hearing what Yun Xiaohan said, Liya immediately realized the benefits of sea delivery.
Don't think that there are no hindrances within the empire. There is still a big gap between the Western empire and the high degree of centralization in the East. The emperor also needs to compromise with the great nobles in the country, so there will be no shortage of internal conflicts and wrangling.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that such a big piece of cake was completely swallowed by the royal family, and the other nobles of the empire did not even get a share. This made many nobles dissatisfied, and even many royal families were dissatisfied with the emperor.
He insisted on giving the entire Sardinia to Liya and objected.
Under such circumstances, the great nobles and royal families would have given the emperor a lot of face by not holding back the Sardinians, but they would also provide aid to the Sardinians? Don't daydream.
So until now, the war has started, and Liya has not received any support from the empire's center. The number of troops is only 30,000, and not a penny has been given financially. The 30,000 troops that have been supported have to be provided by Liya herself.
Of course, it is not a bad thing to have less assistance from the imperial center. First of all, the Duchy of Sardinia has maintained a good degree of independence; secondly, Liya became the general person in charge of the southern theater, and after the silver mine incident, she strengthened her control over the Snowman region.
Influence; finally, Liya's ability has been greatly exercised due to the need to take on various affairs.
But benefits are benefits, and Liya also faces many difficulties, and the biggest difficulty is money.
War is all about money, and Liya needs to spend money on many things, such as sorting out internal affairs, pacifying the territory, building ships, and building new legions. She has to spend money everywhere.
This reinforcement of Gloya City is inevitable, but the specific number of reinforcements and the duration of the reinforcements are worthy of consideration. The more reinforcements and the longer the reinforcements last, the greater the economic expenditure, and even pensions.
Expenditure, and there will be no gains from defending the city, it is just a pure loss of blood.
The current financial situation of the Sardinian Territory is already quite tight. In fact, if it were not for the discovery of the silver mine, it would have been great for Liya to rebuild the Sea Lion Legion and recruit two ordinary legions. But now she has also created an additional one made of
An elite legion armed with mica equipment - the Herring Gull Legion.
Although the Herring Gull Legion is still under construction, its combat power is very worth looking forward to. The benefits of mica have been introduced before. One is high magic resistance, and the other is light weight. It has heavy equipment for defense, but it is not as strong as heavy equipment.
heavy.
For an amphibious army, light weight is even more useful than high magic resistance, because wearing heavy equipment will become a weight when falling into the water, making it impossible to swim normally and drowning without taking off the equipment; while wearing mica equipment can still be
When it comes to swimming, it's just that it can't compete with professional swimming equipment in terms of swimming speed.
Because the mica is produced in-house and does not need to be purchased from outside, a lot of costs have been saved, and the Herring Gull Legion can continue to be expanded in the future, thereby greatly strengthening the military strength of the Duchy of Sardinia, and thus strengthening Liya's influence over the entire Sardinian Territory.
control, and further stabilize the war situation in the southern theater.
Therefore, the Herring Gull Legion is of great significance to the Duke of Sardinia. It is good to complete its formation one day earlier and to go into battle one day earlier. But if a large number of troops are to be sent to reinforce the city of Gloria for a long time, the financial pressure will be very great.
If this happens, Liya will have to temporarily stop the formation of the Herring Gull Legion, and may even have to borrow money from other nobles in the Duchy of Sardinia to pay for military expenses. This is obviously what Liya does not want to see.
And Yun Xiaohan's tactic of launching at sea just scratched Liya's itch. It didn't require too many troops, and a large amount of supplies could be looted to ease financial pressure. In addition, once Yun Xiaohan led his troops in Marseille,
If the special area is plundered, the merchant alliance army composed of many lords of Masset will no longer be able to attack the city of Gloya. These lords will definitely withdraw their troops and come back to protect their territory first.
In this way, the 150,000 merchant alliance forces will no longer be able to fight and will probably disband. Furthermore, until the problem of sea control is resolved, the merchant alliance will not be able to launch another attack. The city of Gloya will remain relatively weak for a long time.
Safety.
In other words, Liya only needs to provide a small amount of reinforcements to Gloya City, and only needs to assist in the defense for a short period of time, so the military expenditure will be much less.
But Liya is also a little worried. After all, this is the first time she has heard of this kind of sea projection strategy. Although Yun Xiaohan's words are very colorful, it sounds very systematic and unexpected. But in Liya's opinion,
After all, maritime projection is an "innovative" tactic implemented for the first time. It is impossible for the enemy to take precautions. However, Yun Xiaohan and other executors are also inexperienced and are likely to underestimate various difficulties.
Apart from anything else, the problem of finding the path is not easy to solve. Moreover, Liya is not sure whether Yun Xiaohan's small number of troops can cause enough damage and plunder enough supplies to force the enemy to withdraw.
