Under Napoleon's command, his army was able to break through the Merchant forces outside a village in a very short time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Napoleon did not waste time after breaking through the besieged forces, he directly led his troops to attack the merchant forces in other villages, leaving only one officer and a small number of troops to unite the imperial forces defending the village and the few prisoners captured in the battle, which would be used as cannon fodder after collecting weapons.

The officer conveyed Napoleon's order directly to the Imperial troops guarding the village - to abandon the village and bring all the food they could to carry to join Napoleon as soon as possible.

Napoleon relieved the siege of the two villages with great speed, and continued to leave the officers to let the garrison abandon the village to join him. However, no matter how fast Napoleon moved, he could not leave all the enemies behind when he broke the siege, nor could he let the rest of the Shang League besiege the village know the news, so he could no longer sneak up on the enemy when the fourth village was relieved.

Although he could not sneak attack, but in the face of only more than 1,000 Shang League siege troops, Napoleon had a clear advantage in strength, coupled with the fact that the imperial troops under Napoleon's command greatly increased their combat strength, even if the enemy was ready for battle, at most it would make him spend a little more time, and Napoleon still easily defeated the enemy army.

However, when Napoleon and the players arrived at the fifth village, they found that the defenders of the original siege had already withdrawn in advance, and Napoleon immediately realized that the enemy army might have abandoned the siege and chose to return to the city of Gloa, or that the Merchant Alliance forces in the remaining four villages were concentrating on engaging him head-on.

These two options are naturally much more likely to be the former, after all, the enemy has been broken by him 4 times, and the enemy who escaped will definitely bring his intelligence over, and the remaining Shang League's siege troops are only 6,000 people even if they add the defeated troops collected, and the strength is not as large as the troops commanded by Napoleon, plus the main forces of the Shang League have gone to attack Gloya City, although the strength of the siege army is good, there is still a gap compared with the siege troops.

At this time, Napoleon's safest choice was actually to continue to go to the other three villages to relieve the siege or counterattack, if the enemy was the latter option and fight a frontal battle, they would definitely be able to win, and if the enemy in the other three villages had also retreated, Napoleon could also continue to take the troops guarding the village under his command and strengthen his own forces, anyway, he would not suffer a loss.

After collecting these defenders, Napoleon's troops can reach more than 10,000 people, with these troops in hand, plus the thousands of enemies he eliminated and the imperial troops who rescued the village, Napoleon has already made a lot of contributions, and even if he retreats to the city of Snow Man, absolutely no one will blame Napoleon for the defeat, and will only give Napoleon a promotion to reward him for his merits.

But Napoleon's heart was too big, he was not satisfied with the merits in front of him at all, and he wanted to win greater merits, so he left an officer and a small number of soldiers to collect the defenders as before, and he himself led his troops directly in the direction of Gloya City, he wanted to intercept the retreating Shang League besieging village troops and prevent them from returning to Gloa City.

It would have been better if the enemy had not withdrawn to the city of Gloa but had chosen to concentrate in a certain village, and Napoleon would have gone back and eaten them.

The withdrawal of the large army, and not long after the withdrawal, it was impossible to hide all kinds of traces on the road, and after following the enemy's trail for a while, Napoleon determined that the enemy was retreating to the city of Gloa, and not concentrating on other villages.

Napoleon became even more anxious after determining the enemy's course of action, and he used war magic to increase the movement speed of his troops in conjunction with his mage group (players in the mage group only need to provide mana, and Napoleon himself presided over the casting of war magic), while constantly urging his troops to speed up. Even because of this, the morale of the soldiers under his command continued to decline.

That is to say, Napoleon has won several small victories before to raise the morale of the soldiers under his command, and there is a command buff that increases morale by 50%, so the morale of the soldiers under his command can still be maintained at a high level, and there is no passive slacking, or even active collapse.

But even so, there were still many slower moving troops left behind, such as the soldiers in high-weight plate armor who ran and ran and were left behind, and Napoleon did not slow down and wait for these troops to fall behind, but continued to ask the troops to advance at high speed, leaving only a few officers to continue to chase these backward troops.

Napoleon's idea was very simple, since the enemy was evacuating to the city of Gloa, he didn't have much heart to fight, and the merchant alliance troops in the enemy's four villages were not concentrated, and the estimated strength was less than 1,500.

The course of the battle was as Napoleon had thought, and due to the short time for the enemy to evacuate, they quickly caught up with the evacuated troops.

After being caught up by Napoleon, those merchant alliance troops wanted to leave a few troops to block at first, and the others continued to withdraw, but after a wave of long-range coverage attacks led by Napoleon, the blocking forces completely collapsed, and the enemy's morale plummeted instantly, and they began to flee in a hurry.

However, no matter how much these merchant alliance NPCs run, they can't outrun Napoleon's subordinates who are blessed with war acceleration magic, and Napoleon uses his own speed advantage to constantly command mage regiments and ranged troops to carry out covering strikes, which destroys all the enemy's fighting spirit.

There were even quite a few faster players who told Napoleon that when they got closer, they found that the commander of the enemy unit had already been harvested by Napoleon in the covering strike, and that without the commander, the enemy would be even less likely to resist.

Just like chopping melons and vegetables, a merchant alliance force of nearly 1,500 people was completely crushed in 2 minutes, about 1/3 of the enemy was killed, 1/3 of the enemy chose to surrender, and 1/3 of the enemy's morale completely collapsed.

A complete collapse of morale means that morale drops to 0, and a soldier with a complete demoralization is unlikely to be restrained unless he encounters an NPC with strong command ability.

Soldiers who have completely collapsed will become deserters, and the vast majority of these deserters will flee back to areas under their stable control (not to newly captured areas like Gloa City), but a small number will flee to enemy territory. Some of the soldiers who fled back to their home countries were regrouped and would not fight again for a short time, while others who deserted and fled to enemy territory lost their status as soldiers and became war refugees.

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