Except for the 9 soldiers who died at the beginning, Yun Xiaohan's troops have not suffered any casualties in the subsequent battles. The total number of captured and killed troops from the Merchant Alliance has reached about 25,000, and the battle loss ratio is extremely disparate.
. Yun Xiaohan's contribution to this cannot be denied, but without these awesome NPCs, Yun Xiaohan would never be able to achieve such a battle loss ratio.
Relying on these super powerful NPC officials and elite NPC soldiers, ten thousand versus thirty thousand, even in a field battle, it is not impossible to fight, and there is even a higher probability of winning, but losses are unavoidable. If it is not a last resort, Yun Xiaohan
I don't want to fight a wild war with the Merchant Alliance.
In fact, by this time, Yun Xiaohan could already choose to end this operation.
So far, he has captured 5 cities and 12 villages. Except for the village captured by Garibaldi, he has robbed public supplies in other towns. Although except for the city of Khalil and Cassis
Outside the city, the other three cities are all very small, but no matter how small they are, they are still cities. They definitely have more supplies than villages, and Yun Xiaohan's actions have made people in these towns panic.
Under such circumstances, it is unlikely that the lords on the front line can continue to fight with peace of mind, and this is even more true for the lords whose territories were plundered by Yun Xiaohan. Once Yun Xiaohan's troops are expelled, the main force of the merchant alliance may
They will attack a few waves tentatively, but once they find out that Gloya City is also a tough opponent, they will give up after 80%.
But the problem is that in this case, Napoleon can still gain a lot of military exploits through this city defense battle, and Yun Xiaohan may be able to gain a wave of reputation with the new tactics of sea projection, but because he failed to fight against enemies several times the size like Napoleon,
His enemy fought a tough battle and achieved a reversal victory, but it was still difficult for Yun Xiaohan to overwhelm Napoleon in terms of momentum.
And if Yun Xiaohan doesn't end this operation now and forces the main force of the Merchant Alliance to send more troops to encircle and suppress him, then the front line will inevitably be insufficient, the siege battle will not be fought, and Napoleon will no longer be able to obtain military exploits.
.
Perhaps others thought that Yun Xiaohan's main purpose in launching this campaign was to secure benefits for the Duke of Sardinia and reduce economic pressure, but Yun Xiaohan himself knew very well that the reason why he did this was because of the strong desire engraved in his bones.
A sense of competition. Yun Xiaohan likes to compete with others. He enjoys the process of competition. This is the fundamental reason why he can become a top player.
The development trajectory of Napoleon in real history also made Yun Xiaohan feel uneasy, so although there was no definite reason, Yun Xiaohan still worked hard to suppress Napoleon.
After weighing the situation, Yun Xiaohan finally decided to give up the current evacuation and stay to continue fighting. Although this was very risky, it also had many benefits.
First of all, there is currently a large amount of materials in Khalil City that have not been transported. If we leave now, Yun Xiaohan's 10,000 troops will take up a lot of transportation space (the 5,000 troops in Cassis City are with the fleet)
(arrived), at most you can take a small amount of valuable supplies, not even all the prisoners of war. This is obviously a bit of a loss. And if you stay to fight, I dare not say that you will take them all, but at least you can take the most valuable ones.
Some supplies will be taken away first.
Secondly, although field battles may cause high losses, you can still fight a defensive battle. Relying on the fortifications of Khalil City can greatly reduce your own battle losses. Yun Xiaohan has such a group of powerful NPCs at his disposal.
He does not believe that he will lose, so that he can gain more military exploits and force more of the main forces of the Merchant Alliance to return to the army.
Finally, and most importantly, the end of the third act of the battle is coming soon. If Yun Xiaohan evacuates now, his campaign will be over, and it is unlikely that he will join Napoleon's army to defend the city again.
And if he stays and continues to fight, he will still participate in the battle in the fourth act of the campaign, and will be the main force, or even the only main force, in the fourth act of the campaign.
When Yun Xiaohan thought about this, he suddenly thought of something. As a result of what he did, there would probably be no siege in Gloya City, and the main force of the Merchant Alliance might even be forced to withdraw and return to the Masset area.
If you try your best to encircle and suppress yourself, then the fourth act is likely to become your own one-man show.
This is very interesting. Yun Xiaohan not only robbed Napoleon of his role, but also robbed all the other players' roles. If you think about it, you will know that there is a huge difference in military strength between the Merchant Alliance and the Empire in Gloya City.
Such a huge disparity, 120,000 to 40,000, if the Merchant Alliance troops really want to withdraw, Napoleon and the others can't stop them at all, and they don't dare to stop them. At most, they can send a small number of players to harass them. After reconnaissance, the situation is overwhelming. A large-scale pursuit is definitely a possibility.
impossible.
After the merchant alliance returns to the army, it is unlikely that they will send players to deal with Yun Xiaohan. Not to mention how much threat those 100 players and 10 merchant alliance lords can pose to Yun Xiaohan. Just a balance issue cannot stop these players.
Players take action.
Yun Xiaohan is not an NPC. It is impossible to put one in every battle space. He can only exist in this battle space. Therefore, if only merchant alliance players in this space are allowed to participate in the battle, it will obviously be against players in other battle spaces.
It's an injustice, so Yun Xiaohan feels that in the fourth act of this battle, there will probably only be merchant alliance NPC forces to deal with him, and the players will not participate in the battle.
But in this case, what can players do in the fourth act? Do they sit quietly in the battle space for two hours? Players will definitely inundate the official website with complaint emails.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiaohan couldn't help but want to laugh. It was not his turn to worry anyway. He had done nothing illegal. Even if he caused some trouble, the officials had to wipe his ass obediently.
Now that he had made a decision, Yun Xiaohan no longer hesitated and began to make arrangements for the next thing. The first order he issued was to abandon the village of Ansuai. Yun Xiaohan had limited troops and could only concentrate on
Defend the city of Khalil.
There are still a lot of supplies in Ansuai Village. In order to seize the time, Yun Xiaohan did not move the supplies in Khalil City and left some troops to defend the city. Others drove the people to Ansuai Village. The fleet
They also went together, and at the same time transported supplies from both sea and land, and moved all the villagers of Ansuai Village to Khalil City. On the one hand, they obtained more manpower, and on the other hand, they prevented the enemy from requisitioning them. These ordinary
Although the people cannot fight, they can do logistics and even help cut down trees to build simple siege weapons.
However, Yun Xiaohan also knew that this would only make the enemy waste a little time. After all, this was the hinterland of the Merchant Alliance, and the Merchant Alliance troops had no worries about finding civilians to serve as coolies.
