955 The main force of the Merchant Alliance is divided again
But now that Yun Xiaohan is doing this, the progress of the plot is completely messed up.
With the main force of the Merchant Alliance retreating, Napoleon's upward momentum was completely interrupted. And so far, a large amount of supplies have been transported back to the city of Cagliari. With these supplies, Liya's financial difficulties will be solved.
The situation has improved greatly, and some of the remaining money can even be used to win over people's hearts, and the food problem will be solved, which is enough to fight a large-scale battle.
And at this time, there are still a lot of supplies in Khalil City that have not been transported away. After all, Khalil City is a quasi-medium-sized city and an important sea trade town. Even if part of it has been transported away, the amount of supplies left in the city is not as much as before.
How much less is transported away.
If all these supplies are brought back, Liya will become a truly rich woman, and the situation in the entire southern theater of the empire may change as a result.
It is precisely because the merchant alliance knows this that they want to take back Khalil City as soon as possible. If they can get back some supplies, they can get back some supplies. Even if they can't get them back, they can't be transported away by Yun Xiaohan's troops.
The longer the delay is, the more supplies will be transported away. Therefore, it is impossible for the main force of the Merchant Alliance, which has 120,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers, to slowly march back with a large amount of baggage. The troops must be divided.
, let some of the faster troops go back first. Moreover, they also have to be prepared for the imperial troops in Gloya City to suddenly leave the city and pursue them, so they must leave enough troops to protect the auxiliary troops and baggage.
After a short discussion, it was finally decided that Marquis Nkuru would lead 40,000 faster troops to return first. This was also the result that Marquis Nkulu fought hard for. He came to gain military exploits, and since he could no longer attack Gloria City
, then the credit for recapturing Khalil City cannot be given up.
Moreover, Marquis Nkulu was not very capable in military command, but he still had considerable political vision.
Marquis Nkuru knew very well that after this, the lords whose territories had been plundered would need a lot of supplies to appease them, and it would take time to recover. They would probably be huddled up silently and licking their wounds for a long time. In this way,
The Masset area, which had been severely hit and lost a lot of supplies, did not know when the next offensive could be organized.
If he has not made any achievements and just returns to the Merchant Alliance Council in despair, no matter what the process is, whether it is his responsibility or not, he will become the laughing stock of many nobles. This result is obviously unacceptable to him.
Although 40,000 troops are not a lot, there are more than 23,000 Viscount Aloy in Khalil City, and the total number is more than 63,000. According to Viscount Aloy, Yun Xiaohan in Khalil City
There are only more than 10,000 people in the headquarters. After losing a lot in the previous siege battles, the number is definitely less than 10,000 people, and there may even be only 7,000-8,000 people.
In this way, they have a numerical advantage of 8:1 or 9:1, and they can capture it even if they attack by force. Moreover, Yun Xiaohan's troops are very likely to abandon the defense when faced with such a huge military disadvantage, so En
Marquis Kuru is full of confidence.
In fact, there was a big error in the figures reported by Viscount Alloy. Yun Xiaohan's troops only had a little over 10,000 men, but the losses were minimal. This included the fact that Viscount Alloy deliberately lied and exaggerated the enemy's losses.
, but the more important reason is that from the bottom of the city, it is impossible to observe how many defenders are on the city wall with the naked eye, not to mention that Viscount Alloy's troops failed to attack the city wall at all. How can we get accurate information?
The number of enemy troops.
Moreover, Viscount Alloy did not know the commanding ability of Yun Xiaohan's commanders. Garibaldi and Morris, two super commanding NPCs, can command thousands of people. There are also a large number of strong men among middle and low-level officers.
, I never expected that most of the soldiers in Yun Xiaohan's army are elite legionnaires, and they are also considered to be high-level elite legions among the elite legions. There are even exclusive units such as the Guards and the Red Shirt Army, even if they are slightly
The worse soldiers of the Viscounty of Corsica are also of extremely high quality.
With so many blind spots in evaluation, how could Viscount Alloy estimate the number of casualties on Yun Xiaohan's side? He could only give a rough number based on his past experience, which naturally took it for granted.
Not to mention that Marquis Nkulu quickly returned with 40,000 troops and set the timeline back to when Viscount Alloy's troops stopped attacking the city and withdrew from the attack range of the city's defense equipment.
Viscount Alloy was not idle after sending out the liaison personnel. While he asked the troops to continue building the two-legged ladder (a lot of damage was done in the previous siege), he also sent troops to other merchant alliance territories to collect magic crystal cannons and simple slings.
The core component of the vehicle. Without the core component, he could not build the catapult, and the core components carried by their army had been exhausted.
However, they have already collected it before. Many villages and towns took the initiative to collect magic crystal cannons and core components and gave them to them. Therefore, I am afraid that collecting them again this time will not achieve much, but now that the matter is here, we can't
Do nothing but do your best to help people. Maybe these villages and towns still have stocks.
As soon as the enemy retreated, Yun Xiaohan was free.
He first left 5,000 people to continue guarding the north gate city wall, and then arranged for several NPCs with strong management capabilities to help direct the transportation of materials to speed up the efficiency of transportation.
Next, Yun Xiaohan originally wanted to interact with many viewers, but when he saw the chat records of the viewers, he was speechless.
Although the viewing angle of the audience was a third-party perspective, it was dominated by Yun Xiaohan and could not stray too far away from Yun Xiaohan. At this time, because the enemies had retreated and there was no battle to be fought, many people felt bored and started to
I went to practice skills or participate in PK competitions.
The remaining part of the audience was discussing Yun Xiaohan's skills and their effects. A few data parties were making inferences based on the data, and many people were checking for gaps and providing various opinions and data. Among them were
Quite a few foreign players are involved.
Many people don't remember the data at all, and there are even many players who don't know how to infer the data and are watching. Even if they don't know how to do it, they still have to watch.
Yun Xiaohan's previous performance was so shocking that all the viewers felt as if they were playing the same game. Not to mention the damage Yun Xiaohan dealt and the things he did, they didn't even think about it before.
I have never thought about it, but now someone has actually done such an incredible thing, and they feel like they don’t even recognize this game.
So even if they can't understand it, many people insist on watching it because they think they can learn something by watching experts discuss it.
