Chapter 892 Battle of Cassis City 1
After careful consideration, Yun Xiaohan still decided to give up continuing to go north and go deep into the inland, but turned around and went south, returned to the coastal area, and continued to march southwest to capture the coastal cities.

The advantage of this is the convenience of transportation, and it does not need to take up too much of Yun Xiaohan's troops to escort the prisoners and supplies. There is also a very important advantage, that is, it can reduce the pressure on the operation of Cassis City.

After this period of transshipment, the city of Cassis has already hoarded a large amount of supplies at this time, but the supplies from the first three villages and a trading post captured earlier have already been moved, while the supplies in Cassis City have not yet been released. Know when to move.

Although these materials have been transferred to the city of Cassis, as long as they are not transported to the city of Cagliari, they cannot be regarded as the real gains of this battle. As long as the enemy recaptures the city of Cassis, they can retake them. supplies.

Of course, Yun Xiaohan could also choose to burn or destroy these materials, but that would be too wasteful for the economically struggling Duke of Sardinia.And as long as the supplies are still in Cassis, Nelson's Thunderstorm Legion and the main force of the fleet will have to stay in Cassis, unable to attack flexibly. This undoubtedly limits Nelson's performance.

The most important thing is that although the location of Cassis City is not close to the front line, it is not too far away. The enemy is likely to rush back after receiving the news, and Cassis City will bear the brunt of it, so the sooner After moving the materials in Cassis City, it will be less likely to be threatened by the enemy.

However, Yun Xiaohan did not regret transporting all the supplies to Cassis City before, because those villages were even more unable to resist the enemy's attack.And at this time, civilians in many villages were already attracted by the material rewards, and ran to Cassis City to help carry the materials.Although the increased number of civilians has increased the transport capacity, the requirements for the pier have also increased. The small pier in the village can dock too few ships at the same time, and it will not be useful if there are too many people. Therefore, it is inevitable to transfer supplies to Cassis City. choose.

Now that there is no shortage of manpower for transportation, Yun Xiaohan can't greatly speed up the transportation efficiency of Cassis City. What he can do is not to increase the transfer pressure on Cassis City, and quickly capture another coastal city so that it can be opened up Second sea transfer point.

Yun Xiaohan's troops marched towards the third coastal village that they captured, but when they were about a minute and a half away from the village, a series of signals issued by signal spells suddenly appeared in the sky above the city of Cassis .Although Yun Xiaohan couldn't understand these signals, didn't he have two army mages sent by Nelson beside him, they knew signal spells, and naturally they could understand what the signals could represent.

The two army mages told Yun Xiaohan that there are two types of signals, one is a warning signal, indicating that a large number of enemies are approaching, and the other is a distress signal, hoping that nearby friendly forces will come to support.Now that they have gone deep into the enemy's hinterland, Yun Xiaohan and his troops are the only ones who can support Cassis City. Needless to say, this distress signal must have been sent to Yun Xiaohan.

After a little hesitation, Yun Xiaohan decided to save the city of Cassis. Although he said he would not save it, with Nelson's ability, the Thunderstorm Legion and some of the troops sent by Yun Xiaohan to escort him would definitely be able to retreat to the city before the encirclement. On the ship, even if there is a small loss, the loss will not be too great. It can be said that it can be saved or not.

But Cassis City still has quite a lot of supplies that have not been transported away, and the enemy will not stop there after they take Cassis City, and they must continue to track Yun Xiaohan's troops, maybe they don't have much speed in terms of pure movement Advantages, but it takes time to attack towns and transfer supplies. Unless Yun Xiaohan gives up the subsequent looting operations, there will be a battle sooner or later.

That being the case, it is better to fight early than to fight late. There are many Yun Xiaohan's troops in Cassis City, and Nelson's troops are helping in the battle, and they may even get support from naval guns, which is more beneficial to Yun Xiaohan's side.

The most important thing is that it is only 20:51, and the third act of the battle has only officially started for less than an hour. Even if the marching distance in the battle is greatly shortened, it is impossible for the 1 merchant alliance troops on the front line to rush back so soon , Therefore, the enemy that Yun Xiaohan faces is probably a joint force composed of left behind troops, which is likely to be led by the city of Marset, plus several towns on the east and north sides of Marset.

Facing such a miscellaneous army, even if there are more troops than his own, Yun Xiaohan still has the confidence to fight against it, so he immediately asked the mage accompanying the army to send a signal, telling Nelson that they would go to support, and then Yun Xiaohan Let the troops turn around and march towards the city of Cassis, and let Garibaldi take back most of the Red Shirt scouts to prepare for the next battle.

Yun Xiaohan's current location is not too far from Cassis City, otherwise he would not be able to see the magic signal, but even if it is not far away, it will take 2 to 3 minutes to rush back. It stands to reason that with Nelson's ability and his hand It is impossible for the enemy to attack the city in such a short period of time, but because he does not know the specific situation of Cassis City, Yun Xiaohan is still a little anxious, so he moves faster with him. The pro-guard cavalry and red shirts rushed back first, but the red shirts could not be commanded by Yun Xiaohan, so Garibaldi had to accompany them, and Morris led the main force behind.

It took more than a minute for Yun Xiaohan and the vanguard to arrive not far from the city of Cassis. The actual situation was better than Yun Xiaohan imagined. When they arrived, the merchant alliance troops hadn't started fighting.

The east and south sides of Cassis City face the sea, so there are only two city gates, the west gate and the north gate. Yun Xiaohan came from the west, naturally at the west gate, while the merchant alliance troops came from the north , but at this time most of them gathered in Ximen.

But this is not surprising, the previous signal spells were so conspicuous, and the NPCs of the Merchant Alliance are not fools. After seeing the two signal spells one after the other, I knew with my butt that there might be imperial troops on the west side, even if it was because of various The codes represented by the spell signals of the troops are different. They don't know the specific meaning of the spell signals, but it's okay to take precautions in advance. It doesn't take too long for the troops to move from the north gate to the west gate.

At this time, the merchant alliance troops outside the west gate are estimated to have at least 1 people, while Yun Xiaohan only has less than 8000 people in his hands, and the vanguard troops who arrived first have less than 2000 people.Moreover, it is impossible for the business alliance to send all the troops to the west gate. Just in case, at least 2000-3000 people should be sent to the north gate.In other words, the enemy's strength is about 3000 or 4000.
