After resting for about 3 minutes, his fatigue level was almost restored, and Yun Xiaohan continued to set off with his troops. Because he did not know the terrain and the location of the enemy towns, Yun Xiaohan still sent out a large number of red shirt squads as before.
The scout team conducts reconnaissance.
After traveling north for about half a minute, the Red Shirt Army team received news that they had discovered a city called "Rerov" not far from the northwest.
After Yun Xiaohan received the news, he immediately asked Garibaldi to lead the troops to turn around and head towards the city of Rlov.
It took about 2 minutes for Yun Xiaohan to arrive at Relov City. Relov City is much smaller than Cassis City, and its population is estimated to be only a little over 10,000 people. Such a small city can fit together.
There were no more than 5,000 people. Obviously, these 5,000 people were gathered together from multiple towns, and they were probably the only troops in the city gathered together.
Yun Xiaohan launched an attack on Rlov City without hesitation. Although Yun Xiaohan's troops did not carry heavy siege weapons, they still carried a lot of simple siege ladders. What's more, the manufacturing process of the ladders is very simple.
The materials required are only the lowest-grade wood. As long as there are trees nearby, there is no need to worry about running out of materials, so even temporary manufacturing does not take much time.
But something unexpected happened. Before Yun Xiaohan's troops climbed up the city wall, Relov City took the initiative to open the gate. It turned out that there were no defenders in Relov City at this time, only less than a hundred people.
These militiamen had no fighting capacity at all. Since they were definitely unable to defend the city, the seven noble families in the city were wise and chose to surrender on their own initiative.
Since the other party surrendered, Yun Xiaohan didn't do anything wrong for himself. He spared a few nobles who took the initiative to surrender and did not extort ransom. He just asked them to return to their mansion and not come out. But Yun Xiaohan would also send people to them.
After searching the mansion, they can move the personal property, but they will transport the military supplies. In addition, if materials temporarily transferred from the city's warehouse are found in the mansion, then the nobles who transferred the materials will be in trouble, because those materials
It is already a trophy of the imperial troops, so if they have transferred the materials, it is better to tell the truth and he will not hold them accountable, but if they are found out, they must bear the consequences of deceiving the empire.
After hearing what Yun Xiaohan said, two noble families immediately took the initiative to confess, while the other five noble families did not respond. Three of the five noble families did not transfer the materials, but the other two tried to get through, but Hong Hong
The Shirt Army can be regarded as the top scout force, and Garibaldi is in charge of the search. The materials transferred by these two companies cannot be concealed at all. They tried to bribe Garibaldi but he refused, and the result was that they were completely looted by Yun Xiaohan.
After leaving the mansion, members of the two families will also be taken back to Cagliari as prisoners of war.
Yun Xiaohan's move seemed a bit excessive, but in fact it was reasonable. He read a lot of books in the library, many of which were about aristocratic rules.
For the nobles on the Yaer continent, failure and surrender in war are not big mistakes. Everyone has his own master on the battlefield, and victory and defeat are common. No one is a victorious general, and the losing side is at best considered
It’s just a lack of ability, and the winner cannot guarantee that he will not be unlucky in the future, so some of the rules that everyone has defaulted to must still be followed. But if you deliberately deceive after surrendering, you are actively violating the unspoken rules among nobles, since you have already violated them
, the injured party naturally no longer needs to follow the rules, so Yun Xiaohan's current approach is still acting within the rules and will not arouse the resentment of the entire aristocratic society.
The city of Rlov is very small, and naturally there are not many supplies. The transport fleets in those villages basically only need one or two trips to evacuate all the supplies. The city of Rrov probably only needs four trips. This is still
Because Yun Xiaohan robbed a lot of extra supplies during the robbery of the two nobles, otherwise three trips would probably be enough.
However, Lerov City was not close to the sea, so Yun Xiaohan needed to use trucks to transport all the supplies to villages and towns near the sea. After thinking about it, he decided to transport the supplies to Cassis City, although this would delay
The transfer of Cassis City is completed within the time, but the safety of Cassis City is also more guaranteed. Unlike those villages which are basically undefended, more importantly, Cassis City has more manpower and is far away from Cali.
Ari City also has the shortest voyage, and more ships can dock at the dock at the same time, which can significantly speed up the efficiency of transferring materials.
But in order to bring goods to Cassis City, Yun Xiaohan had to allocate another 500 troops. At this time, he only had a little over 6,700 troops left. It would take some time to escort the 2,000 prisoners back to Cassis City.
Time will go back. Fortunately, after killing those 5,000 people, it will be difficult to gather more troops in this area to fight back in a short time.
Of course, as far as the entire Masset region is concerned, there is still a certain amount of troops. After all, those 150,000 people cannot be all the troops in the entire Masset region. But on the one hand, water far away cannot save the fire near. On the other hand, various
The local nobles in the towns also have selfish motives. No one is willing to risk their own damage by sending out their only troops in order to rescue other towns. Besides, the lords in the Masset area have basically gone out with the army, and there is no real talk in the territory.
People, they have plenty of excuses not to send troops.
This was naturally a great benefit to Yun Xiaohan. He took the time to capture seven more villages and two cities. These towns were the same towns where 5,000 people had been gathered together before, so there were basically no defenders left.
, all came down in one fell swoop, or simply surrendered to Yun Xiaohan.
However, the continuous capture of towns forced Yun Xiaohan to continuously allocate troops to escort supplies and prisoners back to Cassis City. Even if he could hire civilians to help transport supplies, Yun Xiaohan still had fewer and fewer available troops. More
The key thing is that the following towns no longer lack defenders like the previous batch of towns.
Attacking the village was not difficult for Yun Xiaohan, and the losses were extremely low. After all, under the command of Morris, they had a range advantage. The village defenders could not hit them, but they could hit the village defenders.
But there is no such advantage in siege. After all, with a city wall, there is a disadvantage of height difference. In addition, cities generally have ballistas, magic crystal cannons and other defensive weapons, so as long as the defender has a certain amount of defense,
Without troops and enough will to resist, it is difficult not to suffer losses during the siege, and the losses are usually not small. More importantly, once the defenders resolutely resist, occupying the city will be much more troublesome. Just storming the city wall can
If you can't take the city, you still have to fight in the streets, either to capture enough facilities in the city, or to wipe out all the enemy forces. This will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
