For Rocher's words, Denise sighed helplessly.
How can we boost the morale of the army? Since taking over the army, Denis has been worried about this problem.
But he really couldn't think of any way to boost the morale of the army.
At the moment of constantly hearing that kind of bad news, it is difficult to arouse the morale and fighting spirit of the generals and soldiers by relying on material rewards alone.
If you want to arouse the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers, the only way Denis can think of is to win a battle.
As long as we win a battle, the low morale can be boosted.
But it's just a dead cycle.
If morale is low, you can't win the war.
If you can't win the war, you won't boost your morale.
If you can't boost morale, you can't win the war
And they lost the battle to defend Orleans. It was a city war.
This kind of city defense war, in which the enemy and we have great differences in combat power, is passive and beaten.
In such a passive war, there is no chance to win a big victory
......
......
After another two-day trek, the denim army finally arrived at the South Gate of Orleans.
Looking at the flag of the Lorraine Empire flying high on the gate of Orleans, Denis whispered to Rocher:
"Rochelle, get ready... This may be where we died."
"... well." Rochelle nodded with a calm face.
Led the troops in four columns into the city through the open gate.
No flowers.
No cheers.
The people of Orleans stood on both sides of the avenue, looking indifferently at the denizens marching slowly through the city gate and in the middle of the avenue.
The look of the people... It seems insufficient to use the word "indifference" alone.
Among the Orleans citizens who were watching the denim army entering the city, a considerable number of people glared at the soldiers in armor with hostile eyes.
The malice cast by the citizens of Orleans was so obvious that Denis naturally sensed it early.
Feeling the malice from the city people, Denis reluctantly whispered in his heart:
——Sure enough... We are very unpopular
For himself and his soldiers will not be welcomed by the people of Orleans - Denis was prepared early.
Because in the "three public riots" last year, an incident broke out in Orleans... Enough to make the citizens of Orleans hostile to the army.
Although last year's civil strife was only a scuffle between the vassals, for the sake of security, the central government of the Lorraine Empire sent an additional army to Orleans to avoid threats to Tuli.
And the army stationed in Orleans... Military discipline is quite bad.
Orleans is very close to Tuli, so this army can't do such bad things as burning, killing and looting. We must always pay attention to the impact.
But apart from burning, killing and looting, they can still do it.
The army stationed in Orleans deceived the citizens of Orleans.
They deliberately offered a high reward to let the citizens of Orleans enter their barracks to help them clean the barracks, wash their weapons and armor, dump excrement and clean toilets... In short, they offered a huge reward to ask the citizens of Orleans to be their slaves.
The pay offered by the commander of the army was too high to be refused. Therefore, many urban people gladly went to the army camp and did all dirty words and hard work.
After the "three public riots" were settled and there was no need to station troops in Orleans, the army temporarily stationed in Orleans withdrew from Orleans.
After withdrawing from Orleans, the remuneration agreed with the citizens of Orleans was naturally - not a penny.
In other words, the citizens of Orleans have been doing white work for nearly two months.
This air of weakness is unbearable for anyone.
Although some brave people intend to expose the evil deeds of this army to their superiors, no one is willing to help the poor Orleans citizens because the commander of this army came from a powerful noble.
This matter is so settled.
But the seeds of hatred have been planted in the hearts of the people of Orleans.
Denis didn't know that such a thing had happened in Orleans until he took over the 20000 strong army and was ordered to go to Orleans a few days ago.
After learning about it, Denis was so angry that his whole chest burst open.
He really wanted to chop the guy who did such evil deeds with his own hands.
The incoming britannian army was several times as many as them - it was a vicious battle of life and death.
Now it's more difficult for him to defend the city because of that guy.
If that person was right in front of Denis, Denis might really cut off the national thief who was very likely to lose Orleans and destroy the Lorraine Empire because he did something wrong.
Denise looked again at the famous Orleans citizen on the side of the avenue who was looking at them with indifferent or hostile eyes.
Then he sighed silently.
......
......
That night.
"Coach Denis, it's terrible..."
In the room where Denis was resting, Rochelle slumped on the chair with a tired face, and then said with a bitter smile:
"There are the British army like wolves outside, and there are the Orleans citizens who regard us as enemies inside. How can we fight this war..."
As soon as Rochelle's voice fell, Denise sighed.
"With only 20000 demoralized soldiers, we can't win 150000 high morale Britannia troops like tigers and wolves."
"So - according to my initial operational concept, if you want to hold Orleans, you must get the support of the citizens of Orleans."
"Orleans originally had a population of 600000. Now many people have fled, so I don't know how many people there are left in Orleans, but 300000 people should still be there."
"As long as we can get the support and help of all the citizens of Orleans, it will be much easier to fight against the British army."
"So - anyway, we must repair our relationship with the people of Orleans and get the support of the people of Orleans!"
"Coach Denis... I understand what you said."
Rochelle sighed.
"But - what should we do to regain the trust and support of the people of Orleans..."
"You can see from the eyes that the city people shot at us when they welcomed us in the lane during the day?"
"That bastard hurt the city people deeply last year."
"The citizens of Orleans are very hostile to us."
"If we don't want some reliable and effective methods, there is no way to eliminate the misunderstanding and hostility of the citizens of Orleans to us."
"... Rocher, don't worry." Denise replied in a deep voice, "I have an idea."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
For Rocher's words, Denise sighed helplessly.
How can we boost the morale of the army? Since taking over the army, Denis has been worried about this problem.
But he really couldn't think of any way to boost the morale of the army.
