After resting for about 3 minutes, and the fatigue was almost recovered, Yun Xiaohan continued to set off with his troops. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause he didn't know the terrain and the location of the enemy town, Yun Xiaohan still sent a large number of redshirt squads as scout squads to scout as before.

After about half a minute to the north, the Red Shirts sent word that a city called "Lerov" had been found not far to the northwest.

After receiving the news, Yun Xiaohan immediately asked Garibaldi to lead his troops to turn around and head towards the city of Lerov.

It took about 2 minutes, and Yun Xiaohan rushed to Lerov City. The city of Lerov is much smaller than the city of Cassis, and it is estimated that the population is only in the middle of 10,000 people, and such a small city can not gather enough 5,000 people. Obviously, these 5,000 men were put together by multiple towns, and it is likely that the only forces in the city were concentrated.

Yun Xiaohan did not hesitate to launch an attack on Lerov City, although Yun Xiaohan's troops did not carry heavy siege weapons, but the simple siege ladder still carried a lot, not to mention that the manufacturing process of the ladder is very simple, and the materials required are only the lowest level of wood, as long as there are trees nearby, they are not afraid of running out of materials, so even if it is a temporary manufacturing, it will not take much time.

However, something surprising happened, and before Yun Xiaohan's troops could climb the city wall, Lerov City took the initiative to open its gates. It turned out that at this time there were no defenders in the city of Lerov, only a militia of less than 100 people, and these militias had no combat effectiveness at all. Since they definitely couldn't hold it, the seven nobles in the city were also considered acquaintances, and they took the initiative to surrender.

Since the other party surrendered, Yun Xiaohan didn't care about himself, and opened up to several nobles who took the initiative to surrender, not extorting ransom, but just asking them to return to their mansions and not come out. But Yun Xiaohan will also send people to search their mansions, they can not move their personal belongings, but they will transport military supplies. In addition, if the materials temporarily transferred from the warehouse in the city are found in the mansion, then the nobles who transferred the materials will be unlucky, because those materials are already the spoils of the imperial troops, so if they have already transferred the materials, it is better to be honest, and he will not be held responsible, but if they are searched, they must bear the consequences of deceiving the empire.

Hearing Yun Xiaohan say this, two nobles immediately took the initiative to confess, and the other five nobles did not react. Three of the five nobles did not transfer the materials, but the other two tried to get through the mix, but the Red Shirts can be regarded as the top scout troops, and Garibaldi presided over the search, the materials transferred by these two families could not be concealed at all, and they tried to buy Garibaldi and he refused, and the result was that the mansion was completely ransacked by Yun Xiaohan, and the members of these two families would also be taken back to Cagliari City as prisoners of war.

Yun Xiaohan's move seemed a bit excessive, but in fact it was reasonable and modest, he read a lot of books in the library, many of which were books about the rules of the nobility.

For the nobles on the Yar continent, defeat and surrender in the war are not a big mistake, everyone on the battlefield is their own master, victory and defeat are very common, no one is a winning general, the losing side is at most considered to be incompetent, and the winning side cannot guarantee that they will not be unlucky in the future, so some of the rules that everyone acquiesces to still have to be followed. But if you deliberately deceive after surrendering, you are actively violating the unspoken rules among the nobles, since you have already violated them, the injured party naturally no longer needs to talk about the rules, so Yun Xiaohan is still acting within the rules, and it will not cause the disgust of the entire aristocratic society.

Lerov City is very small, and there are naturally not many supplies, those villages basically only need one or two trips to empty the supplies, and Lerov City is estimated to only need four trips to be enough, this is still because Yun Xiaohan robbed a lot of additional supplies in the process of looting the two nobles, otherwise it is estimated that three trips are enough.

However, the city of Lerov is not near the sea, and Yun Xiaohan needs to use trucks to pull all the supplies to the villages and towns near the sea. He thought about it, or decided to pull the supplies to Cassis City, although this will delay the completion of the transportation of Cassis City, but Cassis City is also more secure, unlike those villages are basically undefended, more importantly, Cassis City has more manpower, the voyage from Cagliari City is also the shortest, and there are more ships that can dock at the same time at the dock, which can significantly speed up the efficiency of transferring materials.

But in order to pull goods to Cassis City, Yun Xiaohan had to divide another 500 troops, and at this time, the troops in his hands were only a little more than 6,700, and it would take some time for the 2,000 people who returned to Cassis City to return. Fortunately, after killing those 5,000 people, it will be difficult to gather more troops in this area to counterattack in a short period of time.

Of course, as far as the entire Massett region is concerned, there are still a certain number of troops, after all, the 150,000 people cannot be all the troops in the entire Massett area, but on the one hand, the distant water can't save the near fire, on the other hand, the local nobles in each town also have selfish intentions, and no one is willing to risk their own damage in order to rescue other towns and send their only troops, and the lords of the Massett area are basically out with the army, and there is no real person in the territory, and they have plenty of excuses not to send troops.

This is naturally a great benefit for Yun Xiaohan, he seized the time to capture seven more villages and two cities, these towns are the towns that jointly made up 5,000 people before, so there are basically no defenders left, they all go down with a drum, or simply surrender directly to Yun Xiaohan.

However, the continuous capture of the town made Yun Xiaohan have to constantly divide his forces to escort supplies and prisoners back to Cassis City, even if he can hire civilians to help transport the materials, but the available troops in Yun Xiaohan's hands are still getting smaller and smaller. What's more, the rest of the towns are no longer as short of defenders as the previous ones.

Attacking the village is not difficult for Yun Xiaohan, and the losses are extremely low, after all, under the command of Morris, they have a range advantage, and the village defenders can't hit them, but they can hit the village defenders.

But the siege does not have this advantage, after all, with the city wall, there is a disadvantage of height difference, plus there are generally ballistas, magic crystal cannons and other defensive weapons in the city, so as long as the defender has a certain defender and enough will to resist, it is difficult not to lose in the siege process, and usually the loss will not be small. What's more, once the defenders resolutely resist, it will be much more troublesome to occupy the city, just attacking the city wall can not take the city, and there will be street fighting, either to occupy enough facilities in the city, or to completely annihilate the enemy army, which will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
