Chapter 168: The Battle for the Sardinia Territory 9
At this thought, a layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on Hyderabad's face, since the fleet that had just arrived was the Sea Lion Fleet, what would happen to the two merchant alliance fleets that went to attack the Imperial Forces?
Viscount Hyderabad stumbled and almost fell, then he took a few steps forward, grabbed the emissary by the collar and asked, "What you say is true?" ”
"Your Excellency, is there still a need to deceive?"
The dejected Viscount Hyderabad let go of his hand, lost his mind for two seconds, and then immediately realized that the situation had completely collapsed.
"Your Excellency the Viscount, we have already handed over the Armaginian Council side, and I ask you to hurry up and take command." At that moment, a herald burst in.
When Viscount Hyderabad heard this, he immediately reacted, after all, he was just impulsive, but he was not brainless, what he needed to do now was to quickly make a truce with the Austrian and French sides, and then jointly deal with the Central Empire.
He immediately said to the messenger: "Go back quickly, let your men stop, and I will stop my army soon, and give you a certain amount of space, and then we will talk about cooperation." ”
Although Hyderabad reacted quickly, the two armies that had been entangled were not so easily separated, and at this time, the Sea Lion fleet also came to join in the fun, and the naval guns fired directly at the two armies in the melee.
Although it will not explode, but after the solid cannonball lands, it can often bounce two or three times, and will pop far away, the scene of the cannonball running over the human body is quite shocking, this is still the case that has removed the bloody effect, although the casualties caused by the shelling are not particularly large, but it has caused great confusion, especially on ordinary NPC soldiers, which makes it more difficult for the orders of the two sides to be conveyed to the soldiers below.
It took about 4 minutes of melee before the two armies were completely separated, but the losses caused were irreparable, counting the previous battle damage, the losses of the 2 NPC troops of the Shang Alliance were more than 20%, and the losses of the NPC troops of the Alpha were nearly half, and the players on both sides basically died 3-4 times.
The Shang Alliance stepped back some distance, giving up an open space for the Austrian side to hide from the sea lion fleet.
At this point, both the Shang Alliance and the Alpha knew very well that they had to cooperate, and if they continued to fight, they would be served by the Imperial side, so the high-level leaders of the two sides quickly reached a consensus after a brief conversation.
But the Sea Lion Legion in front of them did not land at the first time, so they had no idea where to start.
So they decided to march to the city of Cagliari first, and then wait until they reached the city of Cagliari, and then depending on the situation.
After the two camps left after the confluence, the Sea Lion Legion began to land, but they had to leave part of their personnel to guard and surrender to the enemy, so only about 2/3 of the troops that could land, less than 8,000 people.
After completing the landing, Nelson did not dare to immediately lead his troops to follow for fear of the enemy coming back.
In fact, the Merchant League and the Austro-French forces were indeed lying in ambush near a hill outside the harbor, and if Nelson had rushed out recklessly, he would have been met head-on.
After waiting for a while, they found that the Sea Lion Legion did not follow, and the coalition forces had to continue their journey towards the port of Cagliari.
Because they had wasted a lot of time in the harbor, when the coalition forces came to the vicinity of Cagliari, they happened to meet the Imperial player troops who had just arrived outside Cagliari.
Cagliari City, Imperial Player Troops, and Coalition Forces are exactly in a straight line, and Imperial Player Troops are sandwiched in the middle, and there is still some distance between the three, and the distance between Cagliari City and Imperial Player Troops is a little farther.
It's a bad luck for the players of the Empire to run into enemies here, and if it's a little later, they'll be able to enter Cagliari without any problems.
Everyone was extremely excited when they heard from Yun Xiaohan that Cagliari City already belonged to the Imperial side, and that a city guard and an elite cavalry army of 500 people would be on their side.
Seeing that as long as you enter the city of Cagliari, you can defend the city, but I didn't expect to run into the enemy at the pass that is about to enter the city, and the number of enemies is very large.
After a closer look, it was discovered that the Business Alliance and the Arcane Council had actually joined forces.
After a short stunned moment, the race began, although the movement speed on both sides was not slow before, but it was always a little casual, but now it is different, whether it is NPC or player, it has begun to speed up in an all-round way, and the acceleration skills are one to put one.
The player's advantage over ordinary NPC infantry is reflected, obviously faster, but the improvement is not particularly much, and it is still difficult to catch up with the Imperial player when the speed is increased on both sides at the same time.
However, the coalition side is not only ordinary infantry, the two camps together have more than 800 cavalry, and the terrain in the port area in front is not suitable for cavalry, so the cavalry on both sides did not participate in the battle much, so the losses are very small.
At the moment, this scene is suitable for cavalry, but 3 teams of cavalry came out one after another, including 2 teams of the Shang Alliance and 1 team of Ofa, and the cavalry quickly converged and chased the Imperial player troops.
Compared to the cavalry, the speed of the players is completely insufficient, and if you continue to run, you will be rushed by the cavalry, and the players will immediately collapse.
Yun Xiaohan immediately shouted: "Stop, don't run, we can't run, concentrate on a wave." Rest assured, for this battle, I have made full preparations, just 21 earth mages have been selected, and there are many players with group control skills and restraint cavalry skills, we can block this wave of cavalry, don't run, stop and fight There is still a chance, and if you continue to run, you will definitely be wiped out. ”
Perhaps more than half of the troops were acquaintances or members of the Ling Dome Pavilion, or perhaps it was Yun Xiaohan's personal prestige that played a role, and the effect of his shouting was immediate, and most of the players immediately stopped and began to concentrate.
The rest saw that the players around them stopped, and they also stopped one after another.
Yun Xiaohan breathed a sigh of relief, began to draw a big pie, and did pre-war mobilization: "Brothers, we have already won half of this battle, if we can resist this wave, we can achieve an unprecedented victory, think about the previous battle, our empire did not have a partial victory, but this one we may win a complete victory, not to mention the huge battle rewards that can be obtained, this record alone is enough for us to blow for a long time." ”
"Yun Xiaohan, what should I do if I hang up?" Listen to the wind and ask, this is the trust, this question was arranged before the war.
"It's not a naval battle, the player can choose to respawn on the spot for 1 silver, but the first time there is a 5 second of weakness, and then each time you respawn in place, the weakness time is increased by 5 seconds. Don't be reluctant to spend money, because we haven't entered the city, we can't be resurrected at the resurrection point in the city. And it takes at least half a minute to run from the nearest respawn point outside the city, not to mention that there are so many enemies that you can't run at all.
Now it's time to fight hard, so please cooperate with each other and keep an eye on my command, victory or defeat in one fell swoop! ”
