Chapter 198 Start the Xiafeng Offensive! Part 1
Once order collapses, stampede incidents will inevitably occur.
After capturing Zenger City, Issel sent someone to count and found that in this "Zenger City Siege", their Britannian army killed only a small number of Luolin soldiers.
Most of the Rolling soldiers were trampled to death by their own people in a serious stampede accident that occurred in order to escape from the gap after their Britannian army entered the city.
After rough statistics, there were about 2,000 Luolin soldiers who were trampled into meat paste by their own people.
There are naturally more people who are injured by their own people.
As a soldier, he did not die in the battlefield gloriously, but was trampled into flesh by his own people in an accident that should have been avoided.
It's really an ironic thing.
Issel and Albert couldn't help but feel sad for the thousands of people who were trampled to death and injured by their own people.
For these enemy troops who fled, Issel did not choose to pursue them, but let them escape.
Although Issel would indeed have achieved great results if he sent an elite cavalry to intercept these defeated troops now.
However, the results obtained by this are not worth mentioning compared to the bitter results that will be swallowed in the future.
This time you will chase the people who escaped from the gap, so will anyone choose to escape from the gap you left next time?
Issel naturally would not do such short-sighted behavior.
Therefore, he allowed the defeated soldiers to escape.
After capturing and clearing the city of Zenger, Issel simply repaired his troops and marched towards the last city of Onton, one of the three major strongholds in the northern defense line of the Rolling Empire.
While leaving Zenger City, Issel sent people to recover the heads of the generals who were thrown into the Huming City Command of Zenger City.
Collect all the heads of these command centers and cut off the heads of a group of generals in Zenger City.
After the troops arrived at the city of Onton, Issel re-used the same trick, and once again used the psychological warfare used to capture Zenger City, throwing the heads of the command headquarters officers in.
This time, the heads of the generals in Zenger City were also thrown into it.
And this time, the contents thrown into the paper in Anton City did not deceive the defenders in Anton City.
Now the Britannian army has indeed captured two other strongholds besides the city of Onton, as well as their command center.
After Issel's old tricks were repeated, the defenders of Anton City also followed in the footsteps of the defenders of Zenger City.
He was not defeated by the fierce attack of the Britannian army, but by the collapsed morale and fighting spirit.
Onton City was also taken down by Issel at a very low price by relying on psychological warfare.
At this point, all three major strongholds and command centers in the northern defense line of the Rolling Empire have been taken down by Issel.
The loss of the three major strongholds and command centers also declared the collapse of the northern defense line of the Rolling Empire.
The strategic goal of the "Spring Awakens" offensive can be said to have been achieved, and the northern defense line of the Rolling Empire has completely collapsed.
In early March, troops were sent to attack the northern defense line of the Bonrolin Empire at the end of May, and it took less than three months to complete the strategic goal of the "Spring Awakening" offensive.
Issel used his outstanding martial arts to declare to everyone the horror of the united knights of the Britannian Empire!
After learning that the four cities of Alshi City, Zenger City, Anton City and Huming City had been taken down by Issel, the reaction of the senior leaders of the Luolin Empire was timely.
When these four cities fall into the opponent, the northern defense line can be said to have completely collapsed, so there is no need to continue to stick to it and keep it.
Therefore, the senior leaders of the Luolin Empire decisively gave up the entire northern defense line, gave up a large amount of territory in the north, withdrew the defenders from the remaining small and medium-sized strongholds in the northern defense line, and gathered the remaining troops of these four fell cities, shrinking their forces.
After shrinking the army and giving up a large amount of northern territory, the Rollin Empire began to build a second line of defense, ready to resist the possible further southward movement by the Britannian army, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, and regain the granted northern territory and northern defense lines.
The Britannian army led by Issel also stopped and repaired at this time, and did not choose to continue to attack south.
"How to fight this battle is what the generals should think of, and whether to fight this battle is what the politicians should think of."
This is also a rule that should be followed no matter which world it is in, whether in the age of cold weapons or hot weapons.
The northern defense line of the Rolling Empire and the large area of northern territory have been fully in the hands of the Britannian Empire.
Therefore, the purpose of the "Spring Awakening" offensive has been achieved, and the "Spring Awakening" offensive has also been successfully concluded.
Since the "Spring Awakening" offensive has ended successfully, Issel, as the commander-in-chief of the "Spring Awakening" offensive, naturally has no reason, and at the same time, he has no right to choose whether to rush the army south to launch a new round of offensives.
Therefore, after taking over the northern defense line of the Rolling Empire and annexing a large swathe of northern territory of the Rolling Empire, Issel immediately sent a message back to Pandragorn, asking His Majesty whether he still needed to launch a new round of offensives.
As soon as the "Spring Awakening" offensive ended, the 150,000 Rachel Knights of the Britannian Empire were stranded on the southern front, and the Luolin Army, who was stepping up the construction of a second line of defense and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, were in a confrontation between north and south.
The 150,000 Britannian army did not choose to continue moving south.
The Luolin Empire did not choose to go north to counterattack.
The armies of the two countries were quietly confronting north and south.
However, many discerning people, including Issel and Albert, know that the current confrontation between the two armies will not last long.
The Rollin people would never give up so much, and handed over such a large area of northern territory and the northern defense line built with a lot of manpower and material resources to the Britannian Empire.
Issel was sure that in a short time, the Rolling Empire would launch a large-scale counterattack to regain this large area of temporarily abandoned northern territory and northern defense line.
Moreover, Issel dared to conclude that the central side of the empire would not be satisfied with just breaking through the northern defense line of the Rolling Empire.
The 150,000 troops who had just finished the "Spring Awakening" offensive and were still stranded on the southern front are still full of morale. At the same time, the soldiers' emotions are far from war-weary.
There are still many materials prepared to launch the "Spring Awakening" offensive.
Moreover, during this "Spring Awakening" offensive, Isel also confiscated a large amount of Rolling Empire prepared to carry out a spring counterattack, and hoarded materials on the northern defense line.
There is no need to worry about the baggage, it is enough for the 150,000 troops to launch another large-scale offensive.
Therefore, Issel dares to assert that in the current situation where this kind of battle can continue, the central government of the Empire would never stop like this, and would never be satisfied with capturing the northern defense line of the Rolling Empire and a large area of northern territory! The Empire will soon launch the 7th large-scale offensive against the South against the Rolling Empire!
If the 6th large-scale offensive against South, that is, the "Spring Awakening" offensive was the first round of the battle between the two countries, then there is no doubt that this first round was the complete victory of the Britannian Empire.
