While Garibaldi and Morris were directing street fighting, follow-up troops also landed one after another.
Liya had already communicated with Nelson about supporting 1,000 Thunderstorm Legion soldiers for Yun Xiaohan. Originally, they were supposed to wait until the city of Cassis was completely captured before letting these 1,000 people land. However, because there was no threat at sea, Cassis
The battle in the city was going very smoothly, so Nelson simply let the 1,000 Thunderstorm Legion soldiers land ashore without delay and temporarily placed them under Yun Xiaohan's command.
When these 4,000 soldiers came ashore, the overall situation in the city had been decided. Yun Xiaohan did not send these 4,000 people to participate in the battle. Instead, he seized the time to move the materials in the city. In order to save time and speed up the transportation, Yun Xiaohan asked Nelson to allocate more supplies.
The troops helped move things.
Nelson also had a share of these supplies, and Yun Xiaohan would share with him later if he continued to plunder. Therefore, faced with this request that cooperation would benefit both parties, Nelson naturally would not refuse.
However, in order to prepare for possible threats at sea, Nelson was very careful to leave enough people on board, and sent some fast boats to guard the periphery. However, the Thunderstorm Legion was rebuilt very quickly, and there were enough people dispatched with Nelson this time.
6,000 people, excluding the 1,000 people who support Yun Xiaohan and the 3,000 people who must stay on the ship, 2,000 people can still be allocated to help move the cargo.
These 2,000 people plus the 4,000 people who are transporting materials make up 6,000 people. Although the transport capacity of 6,000 people is not small, there are still a lot of materials in a trading city, and it still takes a lot of time to move them.
At this moment, Yun Xiaohan triggered a different choice:
1: Use the current transportation capacity for transportation.
Two: Use force to force the people in the city to help carry it.
Three: Decide on your own course of action.
The first option seems to be all right, but in fact it has huge problems, and the most fundamental problem of transportation capacity cannot be solved at all.
If we use the 6,000 people in front of us to move goods, by the time the battle officially starts at 20:00, it is estimated that only a small part of the materials will be moved. If Yun Xiaohan leads the team and leaves, there will be only 2,000 people left, then there will be enough to move.
, maybe some people will say, let these 2,000 people move slowly. Anyway, they will definitely be finished when the battle is over.
The game "Decision" is very realistic. This reality does not refer to the realism of the game screen, but the high degree of fidelity in various game details. If you are a person who lacks management and logistics experience and is not very familiar with the game,
Careful players can easily be fooled here and ignore the huge problems.
In this robbery, the most critical transportation link is not the land transportation link, but the sea transportation link. The actual transportation capacity of the fleet is actually limited. Although there are many ships coming this time, the fleet must first leave most of the warships behind.
To ensure control of Cassis City and sea control; secondly, the returning fleet must also have a certain number of warships accompanying the transport ships.
Therefore, in the actual maritime transportation process, it is impossible for a fleet to load one ship's cargo and then leave for one ship. In this way, safety cannot be guaranteed at all. It must wait for the transportation fleet to be loaded before it can dispatch a wave.
If it is slower, the transport fleet will have to depart later, and the transportation capacity will not be effectively utilized.
Don't forget, there are still a lot of supplies that will be moved to Cassis City in the subsequent looting operation. The supplies in the front have not yet been shipped. Where to put the supplies in the back? No matter how much supplies Yun Xiaohan plunders,
, it has to be transported back to Sardinia. No matter how much goods are left in Cassis City, it has nothing to do with him.
This link is a typical trap link, and if it were in the past online games, this detail would definitely not need to be considered by players. You could just grab it, and there would be no need for you to think about how to luck.
But it's different in "Decision". Players need to carefully consider the details. And in this operation, Yun Xiaohan is the supreme commander, and even Nelson has to listen to him, so even though he is not really responsible for the command
In the shipping link, it is necessary to consider the overall plan as carefully as possible and proactively intervene.
It is this kind of detailed consideration that is a comprehensive test of the player's mind, way of doing things, management experience, etc. In comparison, the player's personal strength is no longer so important.
The transportation capacity of 2,000 people is not enough, so why should Yun Xiaohan leave some troops to help carry it?
Leaving aside the consideration of how many troops should be left to assist with transportation and whether the remaining transportation capacity is sufficient, this idea of dividing forces is fundamentally problematic.
First of all, since Yun Xiaohan has fewer troops, he will have much less confidence when attacking merchant alliance towns. He is also afraid to take down some of the more difficult targets. He can't grab anything, so why are you moving?
Secondly, after all, this is in the hinterland of the enemy camp. If there are fewer soldiers, it will be harder to gain an advantage, and the losses in the battle will become greater. If the losses are too much, the robbery will not be able to continue, and it may even be intercepted by the enemy's gathered forces.
Kill, Yun Xiaohan will lose 5 levels if he dies, and if a soldier dies, he will have to pay five times the resurrection fee, which means he loses health.
Finally, successfully plundering a town requires transporting supplies back to Cassis City. Even if the supplies are not transported back to Cassis City, Nelson's fleet will send a transport fleet to find a nearby docking point to pick up the supplies, but transportation capacity is also indispensable.
Transporting valuable supplies also requires a small number of troops.
Therefore, the more troops Yun Xiaohan has at his disposal, the better. The more troops he has, the greater the results will be achieved. Only by grabbing more supplies can he make the NPC lords of the merchant alliance heartbroken and force them to return to the army, thus achieving this
The strategic objectives of the operation.
In this way, the second option - using force to force the people in the city to help carry it seems like a good idea, but in fact this second option still only looks good, and has huge actual hidden dangers.
Forcing people to work is risky. If the oppression is too great, they may resist at any time. Moreover, some prisoners will definitely be captured in this siege. These prisoners also need to be guarded by manpower. 2,000 troops are too few. Assistance
If the number of people working is not large, it can still be suppressed. If there are more people, there will probably be big chaos. But if there are not many people but not enough transportation capacity, it is a dilemma.
In Yun Xiaohan's view, the first two options are not good choices. It can even be said that the game designers deliberately set a trap for the players, just to point out that the players will be fooled, so they should not be chosen.
But the game designers did not make things perfect. The third option is to remind the players that they can design their own action plans to solve the problem.
Of course, although the game designer has given a third option, it is obviously very difficult for players to design a plan on their own. Players need to consider all the details and then make an action plan that is as complete as possible.
