After the siege battle went on for a while, Yun Xiaohan discovered that his side had a huge advantage.
The first is the advantage of high-level command. The NPC generals on Yun Xiaohan's side are obviously much stronger, both in terms of command BUFF and on-the-spot command. However, the only heroic NPC in the Merchant Alliance - Khalid is also much stronger.
He was knocked unconscious by Yun Xiaohan and completely withdrew from the battle. Khalid had certain command capabilities. Without him, Yun Xiaohan's side would have much less pressure on defense.
In fact, Yun Xiaohan took advantage of more than that, but he didn't realize it yet. If Gonzalo was not captured by Yun Xiaohan at this time, then Gonzalo would also join the battle, then Shang
There will be two hero-level NPCs on the alliance side.
Gonzalo is a stronger heroic NPC than Khalid, and compared to Khalid, his command ability is better. Even though he is limited by his status in the army and cannot command too many troops, it is enough to give Yun
Xiaohan has caused huge trouble.
But now that one of the two hero-level NPCs has been captured and the other is still in a coma, the command level of the Merchant Alliance has dropped too much, and the commander-in-chief of the Merchant Alliance was completely angered by Yun Xiaohan's previous behavior and was mindless.
To carry out a strong attack, Yun Xiaohan even suspected that the commander-in-chief only had the commanding ability of a capable person.
The second is the gap in personal combat effectiveness between mid-level and low-level commanders and generals. The quality of the official NPCs that Yun Xiaohan brought from his territory are relatively high. As mid-level and low-level commanders, they are very good, even like Insigne.
The NPCs are only one step away from the heroic command NPCs.
On Yun Xiaohan's side, there is also a super strong general named Rossi Pie. Although his command ability is limited, his super personal combat ability is enough to make up for his shortcomings.
As for Yun Xiaohan himself, his commanding ability and personal combat power are equally excellent, and he can use [Thunder Spear] to focus on attacking the enemy's middle and lower-level commanders. Although not every spear can hit, it is a great threat.
Basically, even if you don't die after one hit, you have to exit the command sequence. In the battle, the blood regeneration is not that fast. If you don't have enough health, you don't dare to command on the front line. Yun Xiaohan doesn't even need to last a blow, and the soldiers under his command can kill him.
Take the lives of these disabled officers.
The huge gap in the quality of middle- and low-level officials further expanded the defender's advantage.
The third is the advantage of equipment. At this time, the only simple catapult left by the Merchant Alliance has been destroyed. They can only rely on two-legged ladders to attack the city. It is conceivable that the efficiency is low, and because of the continuous use of single-handedly
On the other hand, they were hit by the defensive equipment, and the morale of the Merchant Alliance troops was also greatly affected.
The fourth is the advantage of city defense. The 5-meter-high city wall here is not so easy to attack, not to mention that Yun Xiaohan had prepared for a period of time before and also grabbed a large amount of supplies, including arrows and other military supplies.
Very sufficient.
The fifth is the quality of the soldiers. Although the Merchant Alliance is also an elite force, there is still a big gap compared with the soldiers under Yun Xiaohan's command. Moreover, they only need to defend one wall, and the contact area is so large.
Climbing up the ladder is useless no matter how many troops you have but you can't increase it. Yun Xiaohan's side can give full play to the advantage of the quality of the soldiers.
Such a huge advantage made the merchant alliance's siege operations very unsatisfactory. Not many people could climb the city wall, and they didn't even achieve much success.
As long as the blood volume of the soldiers on Yun Xiaohan's side is less than half, Garibaldi and Morris will immediately let them retreat to recover. There are churches and medical clinics in Khalil City, which can speed up the recovery of blood.
It's a pity that the troops under Yun Xiaohan's command have different establishments, and there is no way to mobilize the chaplain soldiers to form a chaplain regiment. Of course, the small number of chaplain soldiers is also one of the reasons.
The merchant alliance's siege operation did not last long. After about 6,000 people died, the merchant alliance stopped the siege and began to retreat. During the retreat, they were inevitably attacked by Yun Xiaohan's long-range troops.
Harvest with equipment.
Counting the casualties caused by Yun Xiaohan's previous destruction of siege equipment, nearly 7,000 people from the Merchant Alliance died in just 20 minutes, which was a very heavy loss. Although many soldiers on Yun Xiaohan's side were injured and retreated,
The death toll was only 52. This exchange ratio is really a bit disparate.
After the Merchant Alliance troops retreated, the commander of the Merchant Alliance troops, Viscount Alloy, finally calmed down and stopped attacking the city. But Viscount Alloy did not do nothing. He sent
The liaison personnel went to deliver the letter and pass the news to the main force of the Merchant Alliance on the front line, not only to apologize, but also to inform the war situation.
As for what the main force of the Merchant Alliance will do next, he, a criminal general, is not qualified to speak. He can only briefly describe the battle process and express his views on Yun Xiaohan's troops.
He believes that Yun Xiaohan's troops are extremely combat-effective. Yun Xiaohan's personal combat effectiveness is off the charts, and his commanding ability is very strong (the credit of Morris, Garibaldi and others is all attributed to Yun Xiaohan). Such a general
An army poses too great a threat to the merchant alliance and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
It was already 15 minutes after the main force of the Merchant Alliance got the news. Faced with the current battle situation, almost all the lords in the army asked to return to the army. They all believed that they must first solve the serious problem of Yun Xiaohan's troops before they could consider it.
The problem of counterattack in the Gloya region.
Seeing the turbulent mood among so many lords, including many big nobles, the leader of the army, Marquis Nkuru, had no choice but to compromise, give up his plan to continue attacking the Gloya region, and choose to return to the army.
The Marquis of Nkuru is not a nobleman from the Masset region. The Masset region is the equivalent region to the Snowman region, and the largest lord is the lord of the city of Masset, Earl Erelin.
Marquis Nkuru is an airborne commander directly assigned by the Merchant Alliance Council. His abilities are actually quite average, but his status is very high and he has the support of multiple factions in the Merchant Alliance Council. He spends a lot of money on
After paying a huge price, Marquis Nkulu finally got what he saw as a lucrative job.
This is actually not surprising. Although the Merchant Alliance is not very powerful in combat, it has outstanding economic strength and no lack of channels for obtaining information. There are many nobles in the Snowman area who have private trade dealings with them. Not to mention the Sardinian Territory.
, the penetration was even more powerful, otherwise there would not have been so many nobles supporting the Merchant Alliance during the battle for the Sardinian Territory.
It can even be said that the Merchant Alliance is the best among the seven camps in terms of intelligence work.
The war between the Empire and the North Kingdom in the Mannheim Delta was so huge, and the North Kingdom was an ally with the Merchant Alliance, so the news naturally spread quickly. As soon as the war started there, the Merchant Alliance immediately got the news.
