Chapter 1667: Psychological Warfare

"The place of origin of the Ancient Roman Empire?"

"Forget it, the Holy Roman Empire was once our nation, and our country is the true successor to the Holy Roman Empire. Besides making noodles, what else can you people of the Ancient Roman Empire do?"

"Heh, are you even worthy of engaging in a Bitter Remonstrance with me?"

"Our country is the land chosen by God; legend has it that the Son of the Lord was born in our country, so the Commander should be one of us!"

Seeing this scene, the Chief of Staff felt incomparably chilled.

Although the French army is still powerful, the troops of these countries are not weak either.

France currently has no suitable candidate who can take charge of this great army.

The Holy Cross Army will surely fall apart.

The Chief of Staff seemed to have foreseen the future long ago.

And just at this moment, Ling Chen pressed his advantage!

He mobilized one hundred thousand Longyan Army troops to launch a comprehensive attack on the Holy Cross Army's defensive lines from all directions.

Because of the lack of cavalry and the lack of various firearms.

Ling Chen had no choice but to adopt the most primitive types of troops, yet tactically, he elevated things by several levels.

Infantry and the few remaining cavalry were deployed in scattered formations to form charging and stabbing units, while behind the infantry was an entire squad of crossbowmen.

The three types of troops organized into a powerful Square Formation and launched the attack.

The Holy Cross Army, having been thrown into disarray by the surprise attack, had many cavalry, and they were all Heavy Cavalry.

Their strength was extraordinary, but in the face of such a crushing formation from the Longyan Army, they had absolutely no power to fight back!

Their iron armor followed, but there were always places on the War Horse that could not be covered by armor.

Moreover, the Holy Cross Army was slow to react, and some positions were scattered by the Longyan Army before they could even respond.

Now the interior of the Holy Cross Army is in total chaos, and to this day, there is not a single general to unify the three armies.

There is even less of a clearly commanding general.

And the Holy Cross Army fighting on the front lines, under these circumstances, is almost isolated and without support, failing to exert the combat power they should have had.

Especially under the almost crushing offensive of the Longyan Army.

Some units of the Holy Cross Army do not even see any hope of defeating the Longyan Army.

They have fallen to the brink of collapse.

And for the Longyan Army, this war has only just begun.

Under the command of Ling Chen, the Longyan Army broke through three cities in one week.

Countless Holy Cross Army soldiers were buried by the hands of the Longyan Army; from the start of the siege, the Longyan Army only had catapults and crossbows, as the modern siege cannons and musketeers had long since been withdrawn due to a shortage of ammunition.

But in front of this group of Holy Cross Army soldiers who had no fighting spirit, even such a force.

Could easily win.

Ling Chen is decisive in killing, but he is not without brains; under his psychological warfare, these Holy Cross Army soldiers had long since collapsed.

Ling Chen knew well during the siege that sieging is not just about blindly producing troops, and blindly sending forces to attack cannot quickly achieve victory on the battlefield.

Before the siege began, he had already conducted a wave of psychological strikes against those Holy Cross Army soldiers.

General Douglas was dead.

The news of the Holy Cross Army's crushing defeat on the banks of the Elbe River constantly impacted the minds of these Holy Cross Army soldiers.

After the garrison troops suffered countless transmissions of information.

The unusual behaviors and orders already revealed within the Holy Cross Army were constantly magnified by these soldiers.

Soon, it occupied their minds.

Amidst constant suspicion, verifying their own thoughts, everyone completely collapsed after receiving this information.

Because what the Longyan Army said was true.

And at this time of the siege, these Holy Cross Army soldiers would lose most of their combat effectiveness, and they would have no Method at all to face the Longyan Army's attack.

Having lost their fighting spirit, they are no different from a group of salted fish.

【Empty line】

The Longyan Army easily took three cities.

The Longyan Army, which was originally at a disadvantage, instantly turned the tide.

And the Holy Cross Army, which looked powerful and unshakable, suddenly collapsed.

This scene, jointly executed by Ling Chen and Frederick II, was simply a stroke of genius in the eyes of Little Peter.

He had liked military games since he was a child, and Adolf also often cultivated his knowledge in military aspects.

If it were not on the battlefield, but talking about how to fight on paper, Little Peter could be said to be invincible in a hundred battles.

However, upon seeing the real combat of Ling Chen and Frederick II, his eyes were filled with awe.

He had never thought that a war could be won by attacking the heart.

He understood why the Holy Cross Army would fall into chaos after Douglas died, but he did not quite understand why Ling Chen and Frederick II, when attacking, had to tell the Holy Cross Army everything that had happened.

When he saw these soldiers' fighting will shaken by this information, he understood.

An army must first have fighting spirit to fight; their general was dead, and the front line had collapsed.

Moreover, the various generals within the Holy Cross Army were still fighting for power and profit.

In such a state, even the Holy Cross Army soldiers who wanted to defend the city had no ability to influence the direction of this war.

Little Peter understood that when Douglas made his first mistake.

He had already lost.

Little Peter admired the strategies of Ling Chen and Frederick II more and more; this was not a tactic that could be comprehended by talking on paper.

And at this very moment, just as Ling Chen and Frederick II cast their gaze toward Hanover, and the Dragon Flame Army joined with the Prussian army to fight against Douglas's Holy Cross Army.

The Holy Cross Army led by Prince Soubise headed straight for Berlin from the direction of Saxony.

Because Prince Soubise and the King of Saxony had joined forces to launch their campaign, their offensive was extremely swift.

The garrison troops left behind by Frederick II previously were simply too few in number against the great army of Prince Soubise.

The Prussian garrison could not withstand the aggressive joint forces of Prince Soubise.

In just one day, the great army led by Prince Soubise broke through the mountain pass set up by Prussia and headed straight for Berlin!

Yet at this time, the great army led by Frederick II and Ling Chen was still locked in a great battle with the Holy Cross Army in Hanover.

They had no knowledge of this news at all.

Nor did they return to provide reinforcements.

Prince Soubise was not Douglas; he did not have the vice of lechery.

Prince Soubise personally directed the charge, fought with lightning speed, and would never show mercy after capturing a city.

He would inevitably slaughter the city!

To eliminate future trouble!

In his own words: "Prussia is a nation composed of heretics; not a single one among them is innocent, not a single one is not a heretic!"

Prince Soubise practiced War-Nourished Warfare and soon advanced to the walls of Berlin.

By the time Frederick II, far away on the battlefield, received the news, seven days had already passed.

He looked at the letter which stated: "Prince Soubise has led a Holy Cross Army of approximately 150,000 troops from Saxony straight to Berlin; they have now reached the walls of Berlin, please Your Majesty return to provide reinforcements immediately!"

Straight to Berlin!

Frederick II felt as if he had been struck by lightning; such information shattered his mind.
