Chapter 878 Capture of Cassis City
At 19:30, Sardin led the navy to the outer sea area of ​​the Marset area, and at this time other merchant alliances and empire players also began to enter their respective battle spaces to start preparations.

At this time, Yun Xiaohan was facing a different situation from other players.

Players of the Merchant Alliance are in the 5-strong Merchant Alliance army and march to Gloria City with the NPC troops. This marching process is accelerated, and players will watch some past two battles during the march replays, as well as highlights of some of the best performances from the past two acts by either the side or the Empire.

Empire players are preparing in Gloria City, and they can also watch replays and highlights. Of course, these replays and highlights can also be minimized by the players, and then go to browse the terrain in the city.

Yun Xiaohan didn't watch the video here. Shortly after entering the sea off the Marset area, they encountered the navy of the Merchant Alliance, but it was not so much a navy as a small armed fleet. Under the command, this small fleet was quickly broken.And because of the difference in speed, most of the ships in this small fleet were captured or sunk.

Because it is in the preparation stage of the battle, the sailing speed and the process of the naval battle have been significantly accelerated. A naval battle normally takes 15-20 minutes. Here, the battle is over in less than 3 minutes, so I followed the fast forward. almost.

After disposing of this small fleet, Sardin led the navy to attack a small seaside town named Cassis in the Marset area. This target had been selected long ago. The city's coastal defense system is extremely weak, but because of the developed trade, the wharf is built very large, which can dock multiple ships at the same time.

Of course, it does not mean that there are no larger port cities in the Masset area, but the coastal defense system of larger port cities is also stronger. Although the Sardinian navy can still capture it, the price paid is relatively high. After all, it is very disadvantageous to use ships to attack coastal defense artillery.A port city larger than Cassis City does not have such weak coastal defenses, and a port city with weaker defenses than Cassis City does not have such a large dock, so Cassis City is the most suitable.

The most important thing is that Liya has obtained reliable information. Since the lord of Cassis City is in the rear and is the commander of the merchant alliance forces this time, more than [-]% of the troops in Cassis City have been transferred to the front line. It is very empty, and it is suitable as the first looting target. It is a good start. As long as this place is captured, the operation can be said to have been half successful. At least food and other logistical materials have been saved.

In addition, there is another advantage of choosing the city of Cassis. There are two places around Cassis that are very suitable for beach landing. Action helps a lot.

Moreover, the current level of ship construction in the entire Yar Continent is not very high, and there are no large ships in the true sense at all. The so-called large ships are actually just larger models of medium-sized ships, and they do not have ocean-going capabilities.

For a ship of this size, in fact, it is possible to find a shore to land directly instead of choosing a port. If a larger ship is afraid of being stranded, it will not go to the shallow water area, find a place to anchor, and then let the small boats go to the shore one by one. People, amphibious regiments like Sea Lions, Thunderstorms, and Herring Gulls don't even need to be transported by boat, they can just jump into the water and swim ashore.

Anyway, they don't have heavy equipment, don't need to carry siege weapons, and don't even need to bring a lot of food, just grab it.

In fact, the terrain near the territory is directly related to the capabilities of the territorial soldiers. For example, the territorial soldiers recruited by the port towns all have basic naval combat capabilities, and the territorial soldiers of some port towns will even have more enhancements in this regard. The three territories like Yun Xiaohan are all coastal port cities. The territorial soldiers of Ajaccio and Bastia have relatively strong naval combat capabilities. Although the territorial soldiers of Ivas City are slightly weaker in naval warfare , but the ability to swim must also be available.

And this is why Yun Xiaohan dared to adopt the tactics of sea delivery. The 1 people he will command are all capable of amphibious warfare. Even if the ship cannot dock, those who swim can swim ashore.

However, armor-piercing swimming is very exhausting, and some supplies are not easy to carry, and it takes a certain amount of time to rest after landing, so if there is a port where they can dock, they prefer to choose a more comfortable landing method, which not only saves time, but also makes them more comfortable. The soldiers faced the battle below in better condition.

The capture of the docks of Cassis City went extremely smoothly. The defenders of Cassis City never expected anyone to attack them. None were able to fire a single shot.

Nelson commanded dozens of larger warships lined up outside the pier. Under the threat of many magic crystal cannons, the enemy did not dare to approach the pier and coastal defense guns.About 20 more merchant ships and seven or eight small and medium-sized warships were blocked in the port and could not move.

Nelson landed some small boats first to control the pier, and arranged for people to board the ships that were blocked in the port. After controlling these ships, he ordered these ships to leave the shore to clear the ground for the following landings and clear the docks. aisle.

In the original plan, if the battle did not go well, Nelson would allocate some small and medium-sized ships to land on the beach, but now that the pier has been successfully captured, there is no need to do this, just land directly.

The entire landing process is still fast-forwarded. The normal game takes one to two hours to complete the landing. It actually took more than half of it in 10 minutes. Yun Xiaohan and more than 6000 soldiers boarded the pier.

Because it is a fast-forward login, that is, the game is under automatic control, so Yun Xiaohan did not log in immediately. Although he wanted to be the first to rush ashore, the login process was controlled by Nelson, and he could not make the decision, so he kept on After enough troops had landed on the shore to ensure the safety of the general, it was Yun Xiaohan's turn to land.

You have to listen to Nelson on the boat. After landing, Yun Xiaohan is in charge, but at this time, what Yun Xiaohan can control is the 6000 people who have already landed.

But Yun Xiaohan soon found out that he was very uncomfortable. It was still in the fast-forward stage, and players could not fast-forward in battle, so he could not participate in the battle himself, he could only command, and the battle had to be completed by NPC.

This time the siege was a regular siege, and it was different from the simple siege in the Slatersburg battle. That time, it was enough to win the battle only by taking down the interior hall, but this time it was not enough to just take down the interior hall.
