Chapter 53: Advice from the Generals



By using spies to spread rumors among the Swadian royal army and disrupt their morale, we can achieve unexpected results.

However, Hospens unexpectedly wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Nord Kingdom soldiers' enthusiasm for war had obviously declined to spread rumors, making the Nord Kingdom soldiers homesick and not wanting to continue fighting at all.

If such a plan succeeded, it would be something King Ragnar definitely did not want to see.

Perhaps for an ordinary Nord soldier, after he has gained enough wealth, he will want to stop and return to his hometown with his wealth. After all, continuing to fight will only cause greater casualties.

No one wants to die on the battlefield. After all, life is precious. Therefore, they are always thinking about protecting their own lives, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country when necessary.

But now that the war has been won sufficiently, is there any need to continue fighting?

Therefore, after thinking about it, Hosbens decided to disrupt the sincerity of the Nord Kingdom and force them to temporarily stop the attack. As long as the Swadia Kingdom can hold on to its last breath, there will be a chance to turn the tables.

If all the territories have been occupied by the enemy, it will be extremely difficult to turn the situation around.

At this moment, Hosbens had finished the meeting, and everyone in the meeting room packed up their things and prepared to leave. Ford left the meeting room under the indifferent eyes of this group of people.

Soon he delivered this information to King Ragnar.

After reading the first intelligence sent back by Ford from the front line, King Ragnar's first reaction was to look up and laugh.

Originally, King Ragnar sent spies to the Kingdom of Swadia to disrupt their military morale and make them surrender, but he did not expect this moment.

The current supreme commander of the Swadian Kingdom, Hosbens, actually wanted to send spies to force them to suspend the attack.

This is simply ridiculous. Since King Ragnar has received the intelligence, he naturally began to prepare to prevent these spies from entering his army. He knows that spies are omnipresent.

Therefore, he knew that he should be extra careful and not be careless. At the same time, he also sent a message back, asking Ford and others to gather intelligence in the city.

Ford's other two companions also obtained a position of neither high nor low in the army. To these two of his companions, they were all spies.

Although their power is far inferior to those of the Nord Royal Guards, they are always stronger than ordinary soldiers, so it is still possible for them to be a team leader.

Wals and Aileyon naturally became a team leader. What Wals had to do now was to make a great contribution when King Ragnar captured Suno.

He also wanted to do some small tricks here to disrupt the defenders in Su Luo.

Walsgo Airen chatted with the defenders in the city of Sulu, mainly about their views on the war. Through the chat, Wals gained respect for himself from this group of Swadian soldiers.

In terms of disrupting the morale of the army, these ordinary soldiers are the main targets. As for the citizens, they are also one of the targets of disruption, but the main fighting force is still the ordinary soldiers.

When Wals was chatting with those soldiers, he learned about some of their feelings and views on the war. Most of the Swadian soldiers believed that their country no longer had much chance of survival.

The country was about to collapse. Their eyes were filled with despair. It was simple. Hosbens, whom they had thought was a hero, was defeated in the battle with Khan Saiga. For ordinary Swadian soldiers, this was simply bad news.

Moreover, O'Donnell, who was also regarded as a hero, died in the siege of Paraven, and Willis ended up fleeing as a hero. Not only was the capital of the kingdom captured, but the king himself was also captured by enemy soldiers.

Now Hosbens has sent a special forces team to rescue King Harlaus, but it is conceivable that these videos do not give this special forces team much hope.

In fact, Hosbens concealed almost nothing about the news of rescuing King Harlaus from his subordinates, so King Ragnar also knew that this special forces would come to rescue King Harlaus.

He imprisoned King Harlaus in a place no one knew, perhaps in his own capital of Sagos, or somewhere else, no one knew where he imprisoned King Harlaus. But he would not kill King Harlaus now.

After all, he is the king of a country, and his death will inevitably cause fierce resistance from the vast majority of the Swadian people.

Therefore, King Ragnar decided to keep King Harlaus for a long time after the war, and let him die alone on a small island by the sea.

Wals's action quickly attracted a group of people around him. These ordinary soldiers all had a certain good impression of this new team leader.

As for the other partners, they also built their own social circles during the business. After establishing enough prestige, they could start the next plan. Bewitching their minds.

Make them feel enough despair towards the Kingdom of Swadia, and let them know that if they do not surrender, they will have no chance of survival, and the Nordic Kingdom will definitely kill any rebel.

The remaining people were all surrendered soldiers, they had no choice but to surrender. Although the effect of shaking the morale of one or two soldiers was not great, when a group of people gathered together, everyone would feel shocked.

In just a few days, Walsh and his companions have established their own social circle. People in their circle basically trust Walsh and his companions very much, and each leader has one or two close friends.

As the siege of the Nord Kingdom lasted longer, there was a natural shortage of food in the city. Without food support, despair arose in everyone's heart.

The first to bear the brunt are the combat soldiers. Most of them are locals. Although they have become soldiers of the Swadian Kingdom, they will be given priority in allocating food to these soldiers.

Therefore, these soldiers will not have a shortage of food for the time being, although their food level will be reduced, but it is still much better than those ordinary citizens who have no food to eat.

Some of their relatives and friends live here, but they may not have joined the army for various reasons, which makes it very difficult for them to obtain food.

What you need to know is that food is an important strategic material in times of war, and now the Kingdom of Nord has plundered all the food from nearby villages.

They also forced the villagers who originally lived there to move to another place, and they would not allow these local residents to return to their original village until the war was over.

Everything is done to prevent these villagers from opening up the land here to obtain food through various means, in case the encirclement of Sunuo is broken one day.

This will allow some of the enemy troops to escape from the encirclement, and the food in the nearby villages will be the best supply.

Therefore, in order to prevent those soldiers from breaking through the siege during the battle, all the residents in the nearby villages were relocated elsewhere, so as not to allow the enemy soldiers here to get any food.

Without external food supplies, the lives of the residents in the city naturally became worse day by day. Hosbens also frowned as he gave the food to the Yan family for management.

A group of people in the city began to protest. They knew that Hosbens had locked up all the food in the city in a certain place, which was the armory, and all the food was supplied to the soldiers.

There are some people with evil intentions. These people have no sense of national justice and are willing to join either side in the war. Therefore, when food becomes scarce in the city.

They chose to steal food from the armory, and as Swadian soldiers, they naturally killed these thieves who stole food one by one.

The Swadian soldiers knew that these foods were theirs, and if all of them were stolen by these thieves, their share would be gone.

When the crisis came, the soldiers all stepped up their vigilance in order to get enough food. Sometimes they would share the few foods they had with their families.

Hosbens was discussing the next course of action with his generals in the conference room with a frown on his face, even though their spies had already been sent out.

But after so many days, there was still no movement. If he continued to wait like this, then when all the food in the city was eaten up, only death would be waiting for him.

Soldiers who are not well fed are simply a bunch of weaklings when fighting, or they may starve to death before the battle even starts.

"I wonder if you have any good ideas to repel the siege outside so that we can have enough food for supplies."

Hospens actually already had a good idea in his mind, but in order to refer to the advice of his own generals, he spoke it out.
