Chapter 466 The East and the West Go Hand in Hand, Fighting on Two Fronts!
In fact, the First Army and the Prisoner Army were originally acting together to ensure that I had the ability to deal with all unexpected situations.
For this point, Huangfu Song is also more in favor.
After all, although the Southern Territory is the most barren and backward region in Xuantian Wuyi, it is, after all, one of the thousands of worlds.
Even from an objective analysis point of view, the comprehensive strength of the Southern Region is definitely more than several times higher than that of the Empire, if the Southern Region is a unified sect or country.
Even if the emperor does not object, these generals in the army will not approve, because this is clearly a mission to die, and pouring millions of elites from the empire to fight a battle that has no chance of winning, is this something that can be done by human beings?
However, after coordinating the overall situation, it was discovered that although the overall strength of the Southern Region is stronger than that of the Empire, there is a fatal place, that is, it is too scattered.
Yep, it's just too loose.
Not to mention the Southern Territory, throughout the entire Xuantian Continent, there are almost all three power systems of dynasties, noble families, and sects, and there are constant racial conflicts and constant ethnic conflicts.
Even if there are some loose alliances, there are very few existences, and the bigger ones are the sectarian families and courts that govern themselves.
Coupled with the continuous racial battles, although Xuantian Continent was not on the verge of falling apart, it was still unsustainable.
In the Xuantian Continent, the law of natural selection and survival of the fittest is pursued!
In fact, it is also a law that is followed by countless worlds in the heavens and the world, and it is understandable.
But sadly, this rule is executed perfectly.
That's right, it's just too perfect, so perfect that it doesn't even have any flaws.
In the Xuantian Continent, the strong stand above the ground and formulate the rules of survival, while the weak are exploited and trampled.
Even walking on the street one day and angering a rich boy or a sectarian may be brutally killed, and even his life cannot be guaranteed.
It is not even as good as a beautiful dog, and the humble life is like an ant and a mayfly.
This kind of approach, although it has ensured that the forces of many different systems occupy the dominance of Xuantian Continent, so that these people have always been at the top of the society.
However, this also leads to a fatal flaw, that is, no matter what force it is, it cannot integrate all the forces within its own force.
The inability to comprehensively coordinate all resources has severely limited the pace of development, and there are even signs of retrogression.
This kind of scene is very similar to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in ancient China, and it is very similar to the era when the top grades had no poor families, and the low grades had no noble families.
Whether it is China itself or the heavens and the world, once this situation occurs, in terms of social analysis, the following two characteristics will inevitably appear.
First: Although the strength is stagnant or even regressed, the country is also rotten, and there are many people who eat all kinds of corpses, but because all power is concentrated in the hands of high-level officials.
And holding the crushing pressure on the lower classes of society in their hands will lead to various horrific situations in this country.
But they still won't die in civil strife, because the people at the bottom are simply powerless and unable to cause chaos.
Second: It's okay to survive, but due to the inability to coordinate the forces of all social strata, the forces of this certain system will not die in civil strife.
However, once it encounters an invasion by a slightly powerful foreign enemy, it looks majestic, but in fact, the mountain whose center has been eaten up will collapse in an instant, and it may collapse completely. Wuhu Luanhua is the best example.
The most tragic thing is that both Ancient China and Xuantian Continent are not aware of this flaw that usually seems trivial, but is actually fatal.
Moreover, in the heavens and the world, the Xuantian Continent is not an exception, but a small microcosm of the countless worlds in the heavens.
It is precisely because of this that many high-level empires fully support this plane war that spans many levels, because there should be a good chance of winning with the assurance of an empire that integrates all resources and forces.
Divide and disintegrate, destroy each, and even attack from afar, this is the conquest policy that the empire will continue to use now and until the future!
As for the policy of combining the two armies, it was also formulated by the generals. Originally, the two armies should also cooperate in the attack and act as horns for each other, so as to be safe.
However, in the middle of the process, Zhang Han, the commander of the criminal army, suddenly proposed to divide the troops.
It was requested that the troops be divided into two groups, and the criminal army left Tianfeng Kingdom directly, ignited the war on the west front, and attacked the seven countries in the west of Tianfeng Kingdom. The first army continued to advance eastward and attacked the six countries in the east.
The two armies attacked separately, and unless they really encountered a stubborn stubble, they would never rush to help, so as not to cause friction and conflicts due to the issue of resources and prisoners of war.
One east line, one west line, the imperial army is divided into two, advancing separately, opening the prelude to the two-line battle!
For this, Huangfu Song is also very agreeable. After all, during the continuous battles along the way, the First Army and the Criminal Army have had several conflicts arising from competing for prisoners to expand their military strength and plundering resources and knowledge.
Some of the hot-tempered soldiers of the two armies even fought directly and injured more than a dozen. In order to avoid the intensification of conflicts and to be able to occupy more resources alone, Huangfu Song also agreed with Zhang Han's suggestion.
But what made Huangfu Song uncomfortable was that when Zhang Han made this suggestion at that time, there was actually a contempt in his tone.
Anyway, what Huangfu Song heard was that my prisoners' army had great military exploits along the way, your First Army didn't play a big role on the battlefield, and it was unfair to share resources equally.
Let's just separate and do our own thing, so as not to cause more unpleasant things.
In fact, the soldiers of the two armies could hear that this was a contempt. It was the contempt of Zhang Han, the commander of the criminal army, for the first legion, which ranked first among the ten standing armies of the empire.
From the first army to the commander of the army, down to the groom, there is a sense of injustice in their hearts.
This is the case in the imperial army, except for a few generals with prestige, qualifications, strength, and actual military exploits.
The more than a dozen army commanders of the empire seemed to be in harmony, but in reality, no one obeyed the other, and they wanted to surpass each other when they seized the opportunity.
Regarding the contempt of Zhang Han, the chief general of the Criminal Army, the 100,000 soldiers of the First Army have been exhausted, and this is one of the reasons for such a violent offensive all the way.
...
"Legion Commander, half an hour has passed. According to the battle report from the combat troops, in this city, there are a total of 16 large and small families and 9 various gangs, a total of 25 forces are willing to surrender."
"The disciples of the major sects and the prisoners of this trip have also been incorporated into the forward camp and the death camp."
"Up to now, the number of the forward battalion has been expanded to 6,000, and the number of the dead battalion has been expanded to 60,000. The cannon fodder troops are enough to launch the campaign against Tiannanguan."
At this time, a Qin army brigade commander walked up from behind Huangfu Song and said.
Hearing the battle report, the eyes of many Qin army generals also lit up, with a self-evident meaning flashing in their eyes.
Hearing this, Huangfu Song also nodded, and turned to order: "Order, the army will start again."
"Target - Tiannanguan!"
