Everyone's eyes lit up. Although the enemy was composed of elite troops, if they could encircle and annihilate them, they would have a real chance.
Even if the opponent is strong, if we gang up on them, it won't matter how strong they are, since we have the numbers.
While individual combat ability is important in many situations, if there are too many soldiers, even the strongest individual combat ability will be of little use.
Moreover, this is our home ground, so it's too risky to eliminate them. With a continuous stream of troops, we can wear them down until they die.
Emperor Char nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "That's right, now is the best time to eliminate their fighting force. As long as we wipe out their million-strong army, Lin Yi will no longer be able to act so arrogantly, and it will severely weaken them."
In this situation, if we don't take action now, we'll be foolish, and we'll be waiting for the enemy to besiege the city.
Even if the troops at the front cannot return temporarily, I can still take down these hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers. Even if reinforcements come from behind, it will be of no use, since my own troops will arrive at the battlefield much faster.
Having thought of this, he immediately stopped hesitating and issued the battle order.
"This time, Chief Elder Amu personally invited you to lead the army. I grant you permission to assemble an army of two million to suppress them. Make sure all one million of them are captured here, at any cost."
As long as these people can be killed, everything is worthwhile, even if there are some losses, it is acceptable.
Amu did not refuse the order, because he knew that the Moses Empire needed his intervention now and could no longer be allowed to act with impunity, otherwise the Moses Empire would suffer heavy losses.
The Moses Empire was so vast that if it were to collapse, the consequences would be unimaginable and almost irreversible.
Therefore, he had to take action personally. With his absolute authority, leading two million troops was enough to suppress one million people and keep them completely on the land of the Moses Empire, making the Great Liang Empire pay the price.
He looked at the generals below and said in a deep voice, "You, you, you, all ten of you, come with me. This time, we will devour their million-strong army and use them as sacrifices to gain the strength for the war against the Xinma Empire."
"Yes!"
The people whose names were called immediately became excited. Two million against one million—the advantage was clearly on their side. It would be a fool not to fight this battle.
"Don't be afraid, we are determined to win this battle. So what if they have a million men? We can still slaughter them here."
"Indeed, the enemy is far too arrogant, daring to venture deep into enemy territory alone. This gives us the opportunity to completely crush them."
"If we eliminate just one link in their chain, we can completely divide them up and then annihilate them."
The enemy only numbered in the hundreds of thousands, yet their army dared to launch separate attacks. This clearly showed they didn't take the Moses Empire's army seriously. This time, I'll teach them a lesson.
As long as the killing is done quickly enough, their reinforcements won't be able to change the outcome. If reinforcements arrive later, they'll just be sending them to their deaths.
The crowd was filled with enthusiasm, cheering as if they had already seen victory and were ready to drink and celebrate.
"Good!"
Seeing this, Emperor Char was filled with pride and exclaimed excitedly, "Excellent! With the Grand Elder personally taking action this time, victory will surely be within our grasp. I'll be waiting here to celebrate your success!"
He was indeed pleased. As long as he completely annihilated this million-strong army, even the mighty Great Liang Empire would suffer heavy losses.
Even if we lose a few colonies, it won't be a big deal; it will only damage some interests, and we'll get those things back sooner or later.
If we win this battle, then it will be our chance.
When the roles are reversed, the Moses Empire will become utterly ruthless.
First they wiped out Xinma, then they wiped out Great Liang. That's how brutal and ruthless they were, that's how powerful and unparalleled they were.
Several people in the crowd wanted to object, but seeing their emperor so pleased, they ultimately kept quiet.
It's best not to get discouraged at this point. Even if you can't win with two million against one million, you definitely can't lose either, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Report! Our army has conquered seven enemy colonies in the open sea and has now completely reached the Moses Empire's homeland!" When Yingge, who possessed the intelligence, came to report the news, the entire palace instantly erupted in excitement.
Unexpectedly, these newly trained naval forces at sea possessed such ferocity in combat. Not only did they break through the forward colonies of the Moses Empire, but they also launched a direct attack on the enemy's homeland.
That's incredibly fast! They were just testing the waters at first, but they broke through in such a short time. That's amazing!
Guo Jia couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! At this rate, taking over the Moses Empire is just around the corner!"
In such a short time, and without even the main force joining the battle, they have already broken through the enemy's front line. This combat power is no joke.
Once the main force intervenes, the enemy will inevitably suffer a complete collapse and fall into utter ruin.
"Indeed, we are now on the offensive."
"Attack on enemy territory is like a fish in water for Lü Bu and his men. After all, compared to naval warfare, amphibious operations are what they excel at," Li Si couldn't help but laugh, excitedly.
According to his understanding, the navy nowadays doesn't actually have many opportunities to fight at sea; most of the time, it sails at sea for a period of time before conducting amphibious landing operations.
In other words, a navy doesn't actually need to know how to operate warships or anything like that. It's enough for them to get used to navigating the ocean, not be affected by the climate, and adapt to the environment.
Once you get used to that environment, you can maintain your fighting strength and launch a strong attack on the enemy. That will be the most proficient tactic of the Great Liang Empire.
It should be noted that the army of the Great Liang Empire was forged in countless battles, and their combat power was extraordinary. Even the Moses Empire could not withstand their might.
At this moment, Zhao Zilong, who had just returned, couldn't help but sigh and said bitterly, "It's a pity that we can't transport and acquire warhorses on a large scale, so we can't use cavalry to charge and divide the enemy. Otherwise, the enemy would probably have been annihilated even faster."
According to reports, the Moses Empire did not have many cavalrymen, and their cavalry was not very advanced. When faced with the powerful cavalry army of the Great Liang Empire, they would be overwhelmed.
