But after all, Yun Xiaohan's troops were too small, only a little over 10,000 people, and the post-war pension costs (resurrection fees) were five times the normal. It was not known when the supplies in the city would be moved, and more importantly, Yun Xiaohan
Xiao Han didn't know whether the friendly soldiers of the Sea Lion Legion, Thunderstorm Legion and Guards could be resurrected. These were the elite main forces of the Sardinian Territory. Once they suffered too many casualties and could not be resurrected, Liya's control over the Sardinian Territory would be lost.
will decline, and may even affect the situation in the entire southern theater of the empire.
Therefore, these defensive equipment are important assets in Yun Xiaohan's hands, and are related to the outcome of subsequent battles. Only by protecting these defensive equipment can we achieve greater results at a smaller cost.
There are only two ways to do this, one is to arrange strong personnel to protect the equipment, and the other is to do everything possible to destroy the enemy's equipment.
After all, "Decision" is set in a Western fantasy setting. There are still many people who can withstand the stone bullets of simple catapults. Elite veterans such as the Guards, Red Shirts, Thunderstorm Legion or Sea Lion Legion will probably not be killed instantly if they are hit by a stone bullet.
But the magic crystal cannon's solid shells are much more powerful. It is estimated that only Yun Xiaohan and those official NPCs can withstand it for a while. It is even possible that those official NPCs whose personal combat potential is lower than 2 stars will be directly shot by one shot.
Instant kill.
Moreover, even if those official NPCs with personal combat potential of 2 to 4 stars are not instantly killed, they will be severely damaged and will not be able to fight again in a short time. However, official NPCs can command soldiers, and their presence can allow soldiers to make more decisions.
Reasonable battlefield reactions, such as choosing more suitable attack targets, timely replacement of positions, etc., are equivalent to comprehensively improving the soldier's AI, which is very important.
Of course, the AI of these NPC officials is much higher than that of soldiers. They will actively avoid stone bullets and artillery shells and will not be easily hit. However, if the enemy's bullet rain is too dense, their safety will still be threatened.
Yun Xiaohan would definitely not use NPC officers to protect equipment. NPC officers are worth much more than equipment, and the results they can achieve by commanding soldiers are far greater than protecting equipment. He is out of his mind.
Will do this kind of thing.
But it would not work without protection at all. Yun Xiaohan thought about it and decided to let his red shirt troops protect the equipment.
Yun Xiaohan and Liya are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope. After all, the red shirt soldiers are his territorial soldiers. They can be resurrected after death. It is nothing more than spending more money. As long as Liya can still firmly control the southern part of the empire
From the situation in the war zone, he will be able to gain various benefits in the future, and even if there is a temporary loss, he can make up for it in the future. Otherwise, it may cause the entire situation to collapse, causing serious damage to long-term interests, and then the gain will not be worth the loss.
After all, defense is passive. For a very aggressive person like Yun Xiaohan, destroying enemy equipment is better and a choice that is more in line with his wishes.
In fact, Yun Xiaohan already had a plan in mind at this time, but the risks involved were too great, which made him a little hesitant. Once he made a mistake during the action, it might lead to the failure of the entire campaign.
Just when Yun Xiaohan was struggling to make up his mind, a magic crystal cannon from the merchant alliance had already entered the range of his thunder spear. There were 8 people in front and behind these magic crystal cannons to push them, and the wheels were deeply dented in the ground.
inside, leaving two deep ruts.
These 8 NPC soldiers pushing the cannon are all tall, level 48 elite strength warriors. Their health volume is 59,000, which is 7,000 points higher than the shield guards. However, the shield guards are all level 46, which is higher than these.
The warrior level is two levels lower, and the combat power level is only powerful level, which is one level lower, so it is not surprising that he has more blood, but this elite power warrior is definitely considered an elite in the enemy formation.
, obviously there can't be too many.
Except for the muzzle of the pushing magic crystal cannon, all other angles were blocked by these eight powerful warriors. Moreover, the distance was too far, and Yun Xiaohan did not have much confidence in shooting the magic crystal cannon directly at the limit range of 120 yards.
Therefore, Yun Xiaohan endured it for a while and brought the magic crystal cannon to a distance of 100 yards before taking action.
Although Yun Xiaohan had carefully calibrated the magic crystal cannon and the moving speed of the magic crystal cannon was very slow, his first thunder spear still missed, but not by much, and hit the gun-pushing soldier on the left side of the magic crystal cannon.
On the body.
These powerful warriors do not have shields, and their physical defense is not as good as shield guards, so the result is still an instant kill.
Yun Xiaohan immediately condensed the second thunder spear, and after a slight adjustment, he threw it again. This time it missed the target again and hit the magic crystal cannon, but only caused 39264 points of damage to the magic crystal cannon. However, the magic crystal cannon
Its durability is 70,000, so it cannot directly destroy this magic crystal cannon.
Yun Xiaohan was not too surprised by this result. After all, the magic crystal cannon was an instrument, and thunder magic attacks had extremely poor effects on the instrument. It is estimated that more than 70% of the nearly 40,000 damage was caused by physical attacks.
After all the 26 magic crystal cannons had advanced about 10 yards, Yun Xiaohan finally ordered all the defensive equipment to attack the nearest enemy magic crystal cannon.
8 trebuchets, 8 crossbows, 18 magic crystal cannons, a total of 34 defensive equipment. At the end of the first round of attacks, only one magic crystal cannon shell hit the enemy magic crystal cannon. It was a ricochet and the shooting accuracy was low.
It was so scary that not even one of the powerful warriors pushing the equipment was killed, but a few other enemy troops were accidentally injured. However, because the 30,000 enemy troops only came up with 3,000 to 4,000 troops plus some shield troops, the results were achieved.
Still not much.
As expected, it's okay to attack large armies, but it's impossible to target specific targets.
Yun Xiaohan was a little disappointed, but he knew that this was the first round of test firing after all, and the requirements should not be too high. I believe it would be higher after calibration. Moreover, the gunners on Yun Xiaohan's side were all professional artillerymen from the Thunderstorm Corps, even if
It's a bit uncomfortable to fire cannons on land, but land is more stable than ships after all. Yun Xiaohan believes that they can adjust quickly.
Among the three types of city defense equipment, the crossbow has the fastest reloading speed, 5-6 seconds; the magic crystal cannon is second, 8-10 seconds, and the trebuchet is the slowest, 12-14 seconds. Therefore, after the first round of projection, the loading speed is the fastest.
A second strike cannot be launched immediately. Moreover, it is impossible to launch a whole salvo in the next round of strikes.
Fortunately, the enemy's siege equipment was also extremely slow in advancing, so Yun Xiaohan estimated that he could still carry out several rounds of strikes before the enemy equipment brought his city wall within the attack range.
Soon, the second wave of crossbow strikes was launched first, but still achieved very few results. Fortunately, another powerful warrior was killed.
