Chapter 197 The "Spring Awakening" Offensive Ends (Part 2)

Iser's psychological warfare can be said to be very beautiful.

Of course, the generals in Zeng'er City all knew the senior generals in the Huming City headquarters.

After seeing the heads of the 15 senior generals who had fallen into the city's headquarters, almost all the generals in Zeng'er City panicked.

Although the generals in Zeng'er City were very reluctant to believe what was written on the papers that Iser threw into the city, they couldn't help but believe it after seeing the heads of the generals in the headquarters. point.

Of course, what was written on the paper that Iser threw into the city with a catapult was not entirely false.

Although it is false that Ondon City was also captured by them, Huming City and Alsi City were indeed captured by them.

Anyway, Iser has commanded a large force to surround Zeng'er City, completely cutting off the connection between Zeng'er City and the outside of the city. People in Zeng'er City don't know what the situation is like in the other strongholds now. .

Adding an additional line "Onton City was also captured" can not only further damage the morale of the defenders in Zern City and enhance the effect of psychological warfare, but they also have no way of knowing whether this is true or false.

Even the generals were panicked, not to mention the soldiers below.

Although the soldiers below basically don’t know what the generals of the general headquarters look like, if they saw so many heads flying into the city, if they didn’t feel frightened and their morale wasn’t weakened, it would definitely be Liar.

However, it was not the heads that severely damaged the morale of the soldiers, but the papers that Iser threw into the city.

Although the literacy rate in this world is very low, most soldiers cannot understand what is written on the papers.

However, despite the low literacy rate, there were many defenders in Zeng'er City.

There are still a lot of literate soldiers in Zeng'er City.

After these literate soldiers read the contents of the paper to the illiterate soldiers, panic immediately spread like a plague throughout the city's defenders.

What’s even more frightening is that the content on this piece of paper is becoming more and more exaggerated.

The paper clearly only says "Huming City, Alsi City, and Ondon City have all been captured. Surrender quickly. We will not kill those who surrender or flee." But as it was passed on, it became the name of the Luo Lin Empire. Most of the strongholds on the northern defense line were captured.

Then it was reported that the only stronghold in the northern defense line, Zeng'er City, had not yet been captured.

Then it was rumored that the army sent by the Britannia Empire to attack them this time was far more than 150,000 troops. This time the Britannia Empire sent a full army of 300,000 troops to attack them.

Finally, it was reported that the army of the Britannia Empire had already broken through the northern defense line, and its troops were heading directly towards their imperial capital. The army currently surrounding them outside the city is just a small force from the Britannia Empire.

If Iser and Albert could hear the increasingly exaggerated rumors spread by the defenders of Zern City, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams.

These increasingly exaggerated rumors undoubtedly further aggravated the panic among the defenders of Zeng'er City.

The generals of Zeng'er City were naturally aware of the panic atmosphere spreading wildly among the defenders in the city, as well as the increasingly unstable mood of the defenders.

In order to stop the spreading panic and the increasingly exaggerated rumors, some generals personally led people to kill a group of passive elements who spread rumors and clamored for surrender.

While hunting down these passive elements who disturbed the morale of the army, the generals also sent people down to the defenders to cheer them up and tell them that everything written on this piece of paper was false. It's not that bad.

However, by this time it was too late.

Although the generals worked hard to save the low morale in Zeng'er City, some soldiers still collapsed.

Iser did not completely surround Zeng'er City, leaving a place for the defenders in the city to flee.

This is true no matter which world we are in, whether it is in the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons,

A tried and true strategy: the enemy must be surrounded.

This means leaving a gap when surrounding the enemy.

If you leave no gaps and surround the enemy tightly, the enemy will most likely become determined to die and decide to fight you to the death.

If a gap is left, the enemy's commanders and soldiers may waver between escaping or fighting to the death, and it may also weaken the enemy's fighting spirit.

Therefore, Iser, who had experienced hundreds of battles, naturally left a gap in Zeng'er City, leaving a way for the enemy forces in the city to survive, thereby destroying the morale and fighting spirit of the enemy forces in the city.

Under Iser's sharp psychological warfare offensive, the morale and fighting spirit of many Zeng'er City defenders completely collapsed.

These soldiers, whose morale and fighting spirit had completely collapsed, took advantage of the darkness to secretly carry their commander on their backs and sneak out of Zeng'er City through the gap left by Iser.

The escaping behavior of these soldiers undoubtedly had a chain reaction.

Many soldiers who were wavering between the two thoughts of "escape" and "fight" decided to escape from here like them after seeing that the soldiers around them had escaped.

Thus, a chain reaction occurred.

The defenders in Zeng'er City suffered a great rout.

More and more soldiers threw away their weapons, took off their armor, and fled through the gap left by Iser.

When the generals in Zeng'er City saw the great rout of the defenders in the city, they of course immediately sent people to suppress it.

However, this is in vain.

No matter how the generals brought people to suppress it, they could not stop the great rout in the city.

On the contrary, as the generals led people to suppress it, the chaos in Zeng'er City was further aggravated.

Moreover, some generals even took advantage of the current chaos to secretly escape through the gap left by Iser.

Iser outside the city also sent light cavalry to monitor the gap he left day and night. If a large number of troops were found to have slipped out of the gap, they would report it to him immediately.

The light cavalry outside the city who monitored the movement of the gap saw a large number of enemy troops escaping from the gap, and immediately rushed back to the military camp and reported the information to Iser.

After learning that a large number of enemy troops who had thrown away their weapons and armor escaped from the gap, Iser and Albert knew that the time had come to launch a general attack.

Iser waved his command flag, and the 150,000 troops besieging the city immediately rushed towards Ercheng like tigers and wolves.

Zeng'er City is now in extreme chaos. A large number of soldiers want to escape, and most of the generals have lost their fighting spirit. In addition, most of the generals have gone to suppress the fleeing soldiers.

——For these reasons, the defense of Zeng'er City, a strong city, can be said to be extremely fragile.

The Britannian army scaled the city wall without any effort and invaded the city of Zern.

After the Britannia army entered the city, the chaos and panic in Zern City further intensified.

The defenders who originally wanted to escape through the gap rushed out of the city after learning that the Britannia army had entered.

There was a complete breakdown of order.
