total war rise of empire

Chapter 39 Victory
In the history of the earth, the ancient siege battles in both the East and the West were concentrated near the city walls. Once the walls fell and the attacker entered the city, the morale of the defenders was basically emptied. There will be street fighting, and that tall city wall is like a barrier in people's hearts. If it is broken, everything will be over...

Later, due to the change of social form, the enlightenment of common people's wisdom, and the proliferation of various freedom, equality and democracy, the spiritual world of human beings has become more extreme. Simply put, civilians and soldiers are not afraid of death after being fooled...

After all, in ancient times, wars were fought for the country and the king, and in modern times, wars were fought for the people and himself. Whether Lei Zihao believed it or not, anyway, many soldiers and civilians believed it...

Ism brainwashing is sometimes more terrifying than religious belief, because various isms are more realistic and easier to penetrate into the hearts of ordinary people. Compared with empty and lofty gods and heaven, the effect of various ist brainwashing is much better. !

People's fighting will becomes stronger, and naturally, the durability of the barrier of the mind will rise in a straight line. Even if the city wall is broken, knowing that the hope of victory for one's own side is weak, they throw their arms away and fight with the attacking party!
However, if Lei Zihao remembers correctly, it is difficult to say about other races in this world, but the human race is definitely a proper feudal system, the oldest feudal system!

Under this system, apart from religious beliefs, civilians and soldiers had only two reasons to fight - to fill their stomachs and for the king...

No matter how you look at it, these two reasons should not be able to motivate so many Seris civilians to risk their lives...

They are not professional slashers who have been brainwashed by chivalry. Those Siris civilians with strange weapons such as dung forks, wooden sticks, and kitchen knives are no match for soldiers!
Could it be that the royal family of the Seris Kingdom opened a cheat, directly filling the spiritual world of the Seris people into the strengthened monarch brainwashing thought of the modern European feudal system on the earth-nationalism? !

I heard that Prussia seems to use military aristocratic nationalism to firmly unite the people of the entire country, and burst into a strong rise of the golden unparalleled model...

Lei Zihao subconsciously re-examined the bed warming tool that he had always placed in the safest place - Li Qingmei, the eldest princess of Siris.

It's a pity that Li Qingmei didn't show joy at all when she saw the passionate street fighting style of the people of Seris, but her beautiful eyes were full of grief and indignation!
Hey, he is another person with a story. By the way, why do I feel that the yellow people in this world are getting weaker and weaker...

"I...we can't surrender. This is the last piece of free land for the Serisians. Every Serisian knows that if we back down again, our children and grandchildren will be oppressed by foreigners..." Li Qingmei looked at Lei Zi with a sobbing voice Hao.

Lei Zihao stared at Li Qingmei, who was shedding tears on both sides of her cheeks, and couldn't help taking a deep breath. Suddenly, he felt that the burden on him was extra heavy. He knew very well that no matter what choice he made, the natives of this world would regard him and others as He is a Serisian, and if a Serisian is prosperous, he can rise up. If a Serisian is enslaved, he, Lei Zihao, will never be able to escape!
'This is the meaning of the nation, to live and prosper together, to lose all...'

Lei Zihao straightened his expression, glared at the Pylos soldiers who were fighting with the Seris civilians, drew out his dagger, and shouted angrily at the sky: "All soldiers follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!!!"

The former Thracian naked man with a long sword, due to the rise of murder, ended up plunging into the Pylos infantry in the city. After splashing delicious bloody flowers, the whole army rushed into the street...

The morale value of the naked man with a long sword in Thracian is indeed very good, but the fact that he is so enthusiastic and furious when he fights, and he does not obey the command and rushes wildly, is really a bit hurt. Lei Zihao just didn't command for a while, so this The naked man with a long sword sent himself to the grave...

The only consolation for Lei Zihao is that these Thracian swordsmen who committed suicide do not need pensions...

However, the Spartan general guard also has a star-studded morale value, so why does it seem so rational and obedient?
Could it be that the two sides have different factors that lead to high morale?

Perhaps, the Thracian long-sword soldiers are full of morale because they love to cut people and don't care about their own lives, while the Spartan general guards are full of morale because of their loyalty...

Well, that's all I can think of!
There are probably more than 1000 Pylos infantrymen in the city of Megara. They look like they have been fighting for a long time, and their faces are exhausted. Seris civilians rely on various buildings and continue to fight against Pylos as hard as they can. The infantry circled around, which made them very distressed. This is also the reason why the Pylos soldiers in the city were unable to leave the city when they heard the sound of the horn outside!

When Lei Zihao charged in with two hundred elite soldiers, the clusters of crossbow arrows fired in salvo and the spears thrown by the Spartan soldiers in unison caused great casualties and a blow to the morale of the Pylos infantry who were attacked from the front and back!
In addition, Lei Zihao ordered the head of a gorgeously dressed Pylos general outside the city to be set up on a flagpole for a 'tour performance' in the city. The morale of the Pylos soldiers who had been severely hit was no longer able to resist. !
Of course, Lei Zihao was able to quickly defeat the Pylos infantry fighting in the city, and the superb combat skills of the Spartan warriors also contributed. In a one-on-one situation, no Pylos soldier could pass under the hands of the Spartan warriors. Three rounds!
A round shield and a short sword were played with by Spartan warriors. Any point on the limbs could become an entry point for Spartan warriors to kill!
Finally, under Li Qingmei's amazed gaze, the soldiers of Pylos fell and surrendered in pieces, and the city of Megara was saved!
Different from Lei Zihao's party who cheered after the victory, the common people of Seris were only rejoicing, confused, and saddened by the death of their loved ones...

However, the role of Li Qingmei became prominent at this time. Once the identity of the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Siris was revealed, a glimmer of hope finally appeared in the eyes of the pessimistic civilians of Siris.

Even Lei Zihao had to admit that the status of an ancient upper-class figure, at certain times, had an unexpectedly good effect!
No wonder ancient countries and armies were often limited by the prestige, life and death of one person!
For example, Alexander, the military genius who drove all the way to the Persian Empire, died as soon as his front foot died, and his empire collapsed into pieces all the way, and the speed of division was so fast that it was unnecessary...

Not to mention Genghis Khan, this man who regarded slaughtering cities and genocide as a hobby even encouraged his sons to fight for power!

Lei Zihao looked at Li Qingmei, who was like the Virgin Mary among the common people in Seris, and made a secret decision in his heart!
