905 goes south again
In Yun Xiaohan's mind, even if Gonzalo wants to persuade the 3,000 defenders of the north gate to surrender in the name of Viscount Elisos, it is not easy to persuade the 3,000 defenders of the north gate, after all, if you can't win, you can still run, although there are 1,000 cavalry on Yun Xiaohan's side, the two-legged ones will definitely not be able to run the four-legged ones, and the redshirts, but people, as long as the knife is not on the neck, they will not surrender easily.

But what he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the north gate, Gonzalo had already persuaded the merchant alliance troops at the north gate, and he had not used the name of Viscount Iresos, but only relied on the analysis of the battle situation and his reputation in the army to complete the persuasion work.
This made Yun Xiaohan surprised and sighed a little, Gonzalo was 100% unlucky after doing this, but in this way, he was more likely to take him under his command.
At this point, the battle was completely over, because of two huge mistakes in the enemy's command, the troops under Yun Xiaohan did not suffer any losses.
Purely from the point of view of the ratio of enemy losses, this battle can be rated as an epic victory, but the performance of the losing side will also be taken into account when judging, and the performance of the Shang Alliance troops in this battle is really too inferior, and it is likely to lower the evaluation. In addition, Nelson's fleet will definitely be counted as the combat power of Yun Xiaohan's side, and if the fleet's combat power weight is high, it will also lower the evaluation, so there is still a big doubt that this battle can be rated as an epic victory.
But no matter what, the victory of this battle is very beneficial to Yun Xiaohan, and it is unlikely that the Shang Alliance will gather another force to attack Yun Xiaohan, and then the Shang Alliance can only draw troops from the 150,000 troops that went to attack Gloya City, and Yun Xiaohan's sea delivery tactics can be said to have succeeded for the most part.
Now that the enemy has surrendered, Yun Xiaohan is willing to keep his promise, he gathered the captives, publicly stated that he would not torture the prisoners, and gave them basic treatment, in addition, even if the Shang Alliance was unwilling to ransom them as ordinary prisoners, they could redeem themselves by working for the Dukedom of Sardinia.
The first two conditions were promised by Yun Xiaohan to Gonzalo before, and the latter one allowed self-redemption is the corresponding half-price ransom condition, but the condition that Yun Xiaohan is announcing now is obviously more lenient and easier to achieve than the half-price ransom.
After all, the former depends on whether the lords of these soldiers are willing to pay, and some lords may even take advantage of this to exploit the territory, while the latter only needs these prisoners to work for a period of time.
What's more, carrying materials is also a kind of labor, so that there can be nearly 10,000 more strong laborers, which is much more powerful than ordinary people.
After Yun Xiaohan announced the conditions, Gonzalo's favorability towards him increased by a full level and a half, and the favorability progress bar had only just been promoted to "first acquaintance", but at this time it had been promoted to more than half of "friendliness".
In addition to winning Gonzalo's favor, Yun Xiaohan's other intention in announcing these conditions was to appease the captives. With the arrival of Rossi Pierre with the remnants of the prisoners, Yun Xiaohan captured nearly 10,000 prisoners of war in this battle, and there are still thousands of prisoners of war in the city who have not been transported, if they are not given hope, once they make trouble, coupled with a large number of people in the city, it is very difficult for Yun Xiaohan to suppress it with the strength in his hands, even if he can successfully suppress it, the loss will not be less, and the ships and materials may be damaged, so Yun Xiaohan also has to do it as a last resort.
In fact, in order to monitor the prisoners of war and civilians of the Shang Alliance, Yun Xiaohan needed to leave at least 5,000 troops behind, so that only half of the troops in his hands were left.
From the confessions of the captives, it is known that the several cities that cobbled together the troops this time, including the city of Marset, did not send all the troops, and basically only sent about 1/3 of the defenders in the city, so with the troops in the hands of Yun Xiaohan and without the assistance of siege weapons, it was impossible to capture the few cities that sent troops, but some villages were empty.
But this time the enemies are all from the territory northeast of Cassis City, attacking that side means shortening the distance from the front line of the Shang Alliance, once the main force of the Shang Alliance decides to retreat, it will not be long before it can collide with Yun Xiaohan's troops, if it happens to be blocked by the enemy, it will be over, and the materials obtained from looting may be threatened at any time.
If he can capture a heavy city like Massett City, Yun Xiaohan may still take risks, but if it's just a village, forget it. Moreover, after all, Massett City is the player's main city, in case of stabbing the hornet's nest, it will be more than worth the loss to temporarily pull the players of Massett City into this campaign space like the last battle of Delta, so Yun Xiaohan still decided to give up going north and continue to attack the southeast coastal area according to the established strategy.
With the addition of nearly 10,000 captives, the transportation efficiency of Cassis City has once again been greatly improved. Yun Xiaohan handed over to Nelson the Viscount of Islesos and his guards except Gonzalo, and asked him to send them to the Sardinia territory first, and informed Nelson of the conditions he had promised to the captives, as well as his intention to promise them, and asked Nelson to help tell Leah not to break his promise.

Nelson is a very chivalrous NPC, and he very much agrees with Yun Xiaohan's approach, patting his chest and assuring Yun Xiaohan that he will definitely maintain his credibility. As for Liya, with Yun Xiaohan's relationship with her, she will not let Yun Xiaohan down.
Yun Xiaohan did not hand Gonzalo over to Nelson, on the one hand, Gonzalo's ability was very strong, and he had a high prestige among this group of Shang League captives, after Yun Xiaohan left, if he suddenly led the captives to resist, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if Gonzalo did not do this, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid of what happened. On the other hand, Yun Xiaohan kept Gonzalo by his side to see if there was a chance to trigger the mini-plot of recruiting him.
After explaining everything, Yun Xiaohan and 5,000 other people took a boat to the third village that had been captured on the southwest coast.
Obviously taking a boat is much faster than walking, it takes less than 2 minutes to reach the destination, and it also saves energy and does not increase fatigue.
At this time, the supplies of the other two villages and a trading post along the coast have all been moved, and there are not many supplies left in this third village, as long as they are transported by sea, they will be completely transported by sea, and then even if Yun Xiaohan attacks the new towns next, they can be put on a temporary basis, and Nelson's fleet can focus on the materials and prisoners in Cassis City.
Of course, the high-speed fleet of the three fleets that was originally divided will still cooperate with Yun Xiaohan's troops, not only to clean up and capture the enemy's ships at sea, but also to receive Yun Xiaohan's troops on board at critical moments.
