Chapter 855 The first act of the battle for Gloya region 2
Under Napoleon's command, his army defeated a merchant alliance force outside a village in a very short period of time.After breaking through the encircling troops, Napoleon did not waste time. He directly led his troops to attack the merchant alliance troops in other villages, leaving only one officer and a small number of troops to integrate the imperial troops guarding the village and the few prisoners captured in the battle. The captives will be used as cannon fodder after the weapons are collected.

The officer directly conveyed Napoleon's order to the imperial troops guarding the village-abandon the village and bring all the food that can be carried to join Napoleon as soon as possible.

Napoleon broke the siege of two more villages at a very fast speed, and continued to leave officers to let the village guards abandon the village and join him.But no matter how fast Napoleon moves, it is impossible for him to keep all the enemies behind when he clears the siege, and it is impossible for other merchant alliance siege troops to know the news, so when he clears the fourth village, he can no longer Sneaked into the enemy.

Although sneak attacks are no longer possible, Napoleon has a clear advantage in terms of military strength in the face of the merchant alliance's siege troops with only more than 1000 people. In addition, the imperial troops have greatly increased their combat power under Napoleon's command. Let him spend a little more time, Napoleon defeated the enemy easily.

However, when Napoleon and the players arrived at the fifth village, they found that the defenders who originally surrounded the village had withdrawn in advance. Napoleon immediately realized that the enemy might have given up the siege of the village, but chose to return to the city of Gloria. Or maybe the merchant alliance troops of the remaining four villages are concentrating on planning to fight him head-on.

Of these two options, the possibility of the former is much greater. After all, the enemy has been defeated by him 4 times, and the escaped enemy will definitely bring his information there. The rout troops gathered were only 6000 people, not as many as the troops commanded by Napoleon. In addition, the main force of the Merchant Alliance had gone to attack Gloria City. There are gaps.

At this time, Napoleon's safest choice is actually to continue to go to the other three villages to break the siege or to counterattack. If the enemy chooses the latter option and fights a frontal battle, they will definitely win, and if the enemies in the other three villages have already If he retreats, Napoleon can also continue to take the village guards under his command and strengthen his own strength. Anyway, he will not suffer any losses.

After gathering these defenders, Napoleon's army strength can reach more than [-] people. With these troops in hand, plus the thousands of enemies he eliminated and the imperial troops who rescued the village guards, Napoleon has already made a big achievement. It's a credit, even if they withdraw to Xueman City, no one will blame Napoleon for the failure, and will only reward Napoleon with a promotion for his achievements.

But Napoleon's heart was too big, he was not satisfied with the merits in front of him at all, he still wanted to win greater merits, so he left an officer and a small number of soldiers to gather the defenders as before, and he led the troops directly Chasing in the direction of Gloya City, he wanted to intercept the retreating merchant alliance siege troops and prevent them from returning to Gloya City.

It would be even better if the enemy did not withdraw to the city of Gloya but chose to concentrate in a certain village. Napoleon would just go back and eat them.

The large army withdrew, and it was not long before the withdrawal. It was impossible to cover up the various traces on the road. After following the enemy's trail for a while, Napoleon was sure that the enemy was withdrawing to the city of Gloya, rather than concentrating on other villages. .

Napoleon became even more anxious after confirming the enemy's direction of action. He cooperated with his mage group to use war magic to increase the movement speed of all troops (players in the mage group only need to provide mana, and Napoleon himself presides over the casting of war magic) , while constantly urging his troops to speed up.Even the morale of the soldiers under his command will continue to decline because of this.

That is to say, Napoleon had won several small victories in a row to boost the morale of the soldiers under his command, and with the command BUFF that increased morale by 50%, the morale of his soldiers could still be maintained at a high level. Passive sabotage, or even active collapse.

But even so, there are still many slow-moving troops left behind. For example, soldiers wearing high-weight plate armor were left behind after running. Napoleon did not slow down to wait for these to fall behind. Instead, they continued to ask the troops to advance at a high speed, leaving only a few officers to continue chasing forward with these lagging troops.

Napoleon's idea is very simple. Since the enemy is evacuating to Gloria City, they have no intention of fighting. Moreover, the merchant alliance troops in the four enemy villages are not concentrated. It is estimated that the number of troops is less than 1500. Such an enemy is nothing. Fighting spirit, Napoleon will definitely win even if there is a small number of troops on his side.

The progress of the battle was just as Napoleon thought. Since the enemy retreated for a short time, they quickly caught up with the retreating troops.

After being overtaken by Napoleon, the merchant alliance troops wanted to leave a small number of troops to stop them at first, and the others continued to evacuate, but after a wave of long-range coverage attacks led by Napoleon, the blocking troops completely collapsed, and the morale of the enemy instantly increased. Surrendering, scrambling to be the first to flee.

But no matter how hard these NPCs of the business alliance run, they can't run away from Napoleon's troops who are blessed with war acceleration magic. In addition, Napoleon uses his own speed advantage to continuously command the mage group and long-range troops to cover and attack, and it will kill all the enemy's fighting spirit. They're all gone.

Many players who were running faster at the time even told Yun Xiaohan that when they got close during the battle, they found that the commander of the enemy troops had been harvested by Napoleon in the cover strike, and the enemy would be even worse without the commander. It was impossible to resist.

就像砍瓜切菜一般，一支将近1500人的商盟部队在2分钟内就被彻底打崩了，1/3左右的敌人被击杀，1/3的敌人选择了投降，还有1/3的敌人士气完全崩溃。

Complete collapse of morale means that morale has dropped to 0. Soldiers whose morale has completely collapsed cannot be gathered unless they meet NPCs with strong commanding capabilities.

Soldiers who have completely collapsed will become deserters. Most of these deserters will flee back to areas under the stable control of their own country (not to the newly captured areas like Gloya City), but a small part will flee to enemy territory.Some of the soldiers who fled back to their home countries will be regrouped, but they will no longer participate in combat in the short term, while the other part of the deserters and soldiers who fled to enemy territory will lose their status as soldiers and become war refugees.

For example, after the city of Gloria was breached, the imperial soldiers lost their fighting spirit and fled voluntarily because they found that the city lord had escaped. Their morale did not drop to 0.
