C2669 Collapse morale (1/2)
In the northeast of the Salbrucon, at the top of that hill, Xiao Letian had already been watching the battle for an entire day. He only heaved a sigh of relief after he received the news that the French had finally stopped attacking.
”Alright, Salbrucon City is safe now! Although the casualties are great, it is worth it! ”
Wang Huaiyuan put down the telescope in his hand and rubbed his sore eyes: ”Isn't it a little too early to say that it's preserved?”
Xiao Letian did not answer, but Sima Yun spoke out, ”You are like a tiger in one go, and a dog in the second! The four to one French forces have not been able to take down the city for twelve hours. The morale is completely gone and tomorrow, they will be finished too! ”
Xiao Letian nodded his head, ”That's right, unless the French come out to fight, the Second Army would not be able to win!”
”Soldiers fight because of an imposing aura, an aura that can suppress the fear of death. The French soldiers who are attacking today are encouraged by the patriotism and loyalty to the king, and of course, the dream of becoming an official and making a fortune …”
”It's precisely this kind of high and mighty emotion that allows them to attack without fear of death! In the process of battle, the mind is completely focused on the enemy, they don't have the time to think about life and death, whether it's worth it or not, or whether it's dangerous … ”
”But once you leave, go back to the camp and see with your own eyes the heavy casualties of your comrades beside you. The comrades who had eaten together with you yesterday have now turned into an ice-cold corpse …” Do you think they won't think? ”
”Death is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that life is worse than death. Those soldiers who have lost their limbs and those poor disabled for life, their fate is even more cruel than death!”
”It's over, the morale is down, this Salbrucon, can't even hope for the Second Army to finish them!”
At this time, Luo Huo who was at the side suddenly asked, ”But isn't there also a history of battles that have happened since the beginning? Death has encouraged those who are still alive. They have bravely killed their enemies and won by one against ten! ”
”What if the Frenchman's character breaks out?”
”Hahaha …” How is that possible? Luo Huo, you think too much! ” Xiao Letian shook his head.
”Those special cases of the Jedi's counterattack when the morale is low must have been put to death! If we do not sacrifice our lives, we will be annihilated! ”
”Under these circumstances, if we don't work hard, we will all die. If everyone works hard, perhaps there's still a chance for survival! Only then will a miracle happen! ”
”But the Salbrucon's French Army is not in such a situation. They already have the advantage in terms of military strength, and they can't even win against a 4: 1 match. What do you think the soldiers will think? You can win tomorrow? ”
”Furthermore, they are not dead troops in the dead zone. They still have hope for the reinforcements of the army in the future. This kind of reliance will not allow them to create a miracle!”
Speaking till here, Xiao Letian suddenly curled his lips tirelessly: ”There is still a very important reason why you all can't think it through! This time, the vanguard unit that Napoleon III has sent to us are all veterans of hundreds of wars in the empire! ”
”These veterans are the treasures of all the countries, we only have one less to fight. These generals all have the intention to conserve their strength!”
”These veterans on the battlefield are actually old soldiers. They know that the value of a single veteran is equal to, or even greater than, ten recruits!”
”It doesn't matter if all the recruits are dead. There are still civilians, but veterans have golden lumps!”
