Due to time constraints, Yun Xiaohan did not stay in the village. After getting off the boat, he immediately continued to move southwest along the coastline, and soon discovered another giant village.
The size of this village is the largest among the villages Yun Xiaohan encountered in this battle. It may not be far from being upgraded to a city, so there are still quite a few defenders in the village, probably thousands of people.
The fleet following Yun Xiaohan immediately blocked the waters outside the village, but because there were more than ten coastal defense guns at the pier, it did not go deep. As long as the ships docked in the village were not allowed to escape, it was fine.
.
The fleet did not dare to approach, so it was naturally unable to provide artillery support. However, Yun Xiaohan did not take the more than a thousand defenders to heart. Without artillery support, he could still easily capture the village.
I have to admit that in positional warfare, especially when there are no city walls, Morris is much more useful than Garibaldi. Especially his BUFF that increases the range by half is really useful. The troops he commands can fight
He can hit others, but others can't hit him.
Because he was worried that Cassis City would be attacked again, and because there were a large number of prisoners of war and soldiers to manage in Cassis City, Yun Xiaohan kept four NPC officials, Basso, Kos, Astori, and Terbu.
Cassis City.
Basso has a 5-star management and leadership ability, and a 7-star personal combat potential. Although his army and navy command potential are weak, he still has 3 and a half stars. It may be insufficient for field battles, and he cannot command a large number of troops, but it is still not enough to just defend a city.
What's more, there are NPC generals on Nelson's side. The key is that Basso is good at commanding mage soldiers and is mature and prudent. There are many mage soldiers in Nelson's Thunderstorm Legion. With him, Cassis City will not be easily attacked.
capture.
However, Basso's political and diplomatic potential is only half a star. He can manage his own troops just fine, but it is completely impossible to expect him to negotiate with Merchant Alliance prisoners and civilians, so he needs help from others.
Astori's personal combat potential is 3 stars, and his army command potential is 4 stars. As a deputy general, he assisted Basso in defending the city.
Although Kos cannot lead troops, his personal combat potential is 4 stars, his management ability is 5 stars, and his political and diplomatic potential is 6 and a half stars. He can negotiate with prisoners of war and civilians in Cassis and manage them. Tel
The situation of Bu and Kos is similar. He has 6-star management and leadership potential, and 4-star political and diplomatic potential and personal combat potential. With them, the management efficiency in Cassis City can be further improved.
Yun Xiaohan didn't understand this before, so he didn't leave anyone behind. Later, he arranged for NPC officials to take the prisoners back to the city alone. The NPC officials automatically put themselves into management after returning to the city. Only then did Yun Xiaohan discover the differences and skills.
Excluding these four people, Yun Xiaohan still has seven NPC officials, Garibaldi, Morris, Parolo, Insigne, Emmanuel, Mattia, Giaccherini, and Rossi Pie.
Garibaldi is a follower and does not occupy the quota of 10 territorial NPC officials. Rosie Pie is an ally and was assigned by Liya, so naturally it is even less likely to occupy the quota.
Garibaldi is still in charge of the Red Shirts, and Rossi Pie is the personal guard. The two of them each lead 1,000 elite troops, while Maurice commands the remaining 3,000 people. The remaining five NPCs all belong to
Under Morris. (They can't command the Red Shirts and Guards either)
Because Basso is missing, Morris's task is a little heavier. He needs to take into account bow and arrow and spell attacks when guiding long-range coverage attacks. However, the other five NPC officials are not just watching the show, and can still help to some extent.
Insigne's personal combat potential is 6 stars, his army command potential is 7 stars, and his management and leadership potential is 6 stars. His command ability and personal combat potential are very strong. He is a relatively versatile talent, but he does not have the talent to guide long-range coverage attacks. He has
As the second-largest general after Morris, the 500 mountain veterans were still directly under his command, but they were not as independent from Morris's command system as Garibaldi and Rossi Pie.
Emmanuel and Mattia are also all-around talents with good personal combat capabilities and commanding abilities, but they are at a lower level than Insigne and do not have a direct unit.
As for Parolo and Giaccherini, both of them focus on their personal combat potential. The former's personal combat potential is as high as 7 stars, and the latter also has 5 stars. However, their command ability is somewhat lacking.
He is not able to command too many troops. In battle, he plays more of a powerful turret or charging arrow. In fact, Yun Xiaohan's role in battle is almost the same, except that he is also responsible for strategy and tactics.
Especially Parolo, the firepower he outputs by himself is almost as good as three low-level magic crystal cannons. The range is still far. Even though his command ability is not very good, when it comes to the number of enemies killed, no NPC official can
To be able to compare with him, even three hero-level NPCs are inferior to him.
With the command of Morris and the assistance of other NPCs, with only five rounds of volleys and three rounds of spell bombardment, the enemy had to take the initiative. Of course, there were bunkers in the village, unlike the battle in the plains where there was no cover, so
The killing effect of long-range attacks was much worse, but even so, the enemy suffered casualties of more than 200 people.
Seeing the enemy attack, Morris calmly commanded his troops to bombard a few more rounds. Without the bunker, the enemy's casualties were even greater, but they had no choice but to rush out.
But at this time, it was the turn of Yun Xiaohan, Garibaldi, Rossi Pie, Insigne and others. Not to mention the huge power of Yun Xiaohan's [Lonely Charge] in this kind of melee.
Not to mention a few hero-level NPCs, even the weaker NPCs are completely abusing ordinary NPC soldiers. Coupled with the impact of the Guards and the Red Shirt Army, it only takes one wave to destroy the opponent's confidence.
, the enemy retreated back into the village in an instant.
Yun Xiaohan had limited troops, and naturally he would not follow up to engage in hand-to-hand combat, so he immediately ordered the melee troops to retreat again, and then the long-range troops continued to attack. After several more rounds of bombardment, the merchant alliance troops in the village finally couldn't stand it any longer.
Chosen to surrender.
The battle time was limited, and Yun Xiaohan's main purpose was to plunder supplies, so there was no need to kill them all, so he immediately accepted the opponent's surrender.
After entering the village, Yun Xiaohan immediately ordered people to take over the coastal defense guns and assist the navy in controlling or capturing the merchant alliance ships. Because the situation was over, the merchant alliance, which was dominated by merchants, did not have the determination to resist to the end, so it did not do much.
resistance, let alone scuttling the ship.
In this way, 8 more ships were added to the squadron, but 6 of them were merchant ships and the other two were only small warships.
