Chapter 1871 Burning the empire inch by inch
Since the beginning of the uprising, the Southern Revolutionary Army has been gaining momentum and captured important strongholds and cities one after another.
During the battle against Chen Keshan, there was no brutal battle.
The Imperial Army's troops confidently planned to engage in a hearty battle of annihilation.
It's just that the inland army, which has been sparse for a long time, is no match for these mud-legged people who have no way out.
First there were several rounds of volleys and long-range ground clearing, and then several Teigu users took the lead in charging, followed by a torrent of cavalry from behind, which dispersed the opposing formation.
The old soldiers were almost wiped out in an organized manner, and then they fled and surrendered at the speed of light.
With Noah's command, this time it was not just a matter of defeating the imperial army, but also a meticulous encirclement and suppression of the defeated army.
Bandits are like combing soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to use the word soldier and bandit to describe these people.
When possible, minimizing the harm to civilians after the war has become the focus of the New Revolutionary Army.
Important checkpoints and defense lines have not hindered the army's progress, and most of the cities have been penetrated.
The secrets of An Ning Dao and the revolutionary army are all over the empire, and the officials of the empire have fallen into self-doubt.
Many people were beheaded in ignorance.
There are even governors who directly surrender the city, intending to have a share of the merit of serving the dragon.
"Just promise me what to do next."
A fat prefect was still negotiating with representatives of the revolutionary army, showing his sincerity.
On the back foot, their homes and cities were stolen, and no chance for peaceful liberation was given.
"You, I.I."
The fingers that looked like carrots were trembling, and his face was full of anger and fear.
Don't follow the rules, that's too unruly.
The prefect was furious. He had never reasoned with others in his life. Now he started to reason with others, but the other party stopped.
"After you act like this, don't expect anyone to join you and make a revolution?!"
"You really think that no one in the empire can cure you, right?"
The prefect decided to fight with the revolutionary army. These people are devils who will not give them a way to survive, and there is no chance of compromise.
Some people in the revolutionary army believed that if they could accept the surrender of the other party, they could attack the imperial capital faster.
"Leaving these hidden dangers to the new world is causing trouble for future generations."
"The burning world must be burned completely, and these scum should not be given a chance to resurrect."
"The land of a county is certainly important, but it is even more important not to have them."
What Noah did not say was that these old empire officials had rich experience in corruption and power struggles.
The damage done in peacetime far exceeds that of this time.
So this time the main focus is to attack steadily, and he is fully prepared to burn the empire to death inch by inch.
Even if there is a chance to attack quickly, he deliberately slows down and allows the enemy to gather all his strength.
Under Noah's control, every city captured will receive various data libraries, personnel registration, and resource management and control immediately.
Then a large number of noble officials, as well as wealthy businessmen who jumped out when they made war fortunes, were put on public trial, and sent to the gallows directly after the trial.
Breaking down old hierarchies in a crude way works extremely well.
Naturally, the people welcome the revolutionary army more, while the ruling class hates the revolutionary army even more.
There is no possibility of negotiation or exchange of benefits.
Next, the empire's top leaders began to unite under the threat of life.
Disputes over past interests are far less scary than class revolution.
The revolutionary army began to display heavy troops on the route to the imperial capital. All kinds of supplies, weapons, and strong retainers were sent out.
A bunch of strong men were also pulled out of the Imperial Fist Temple, and they looked like they were united.
But some things are no longer what men want to do.
The art of war is not just a simple charge, but a duel of psychology, tactics, resources, and will.
Except for resources, the revolutionary army was completely victorious in other aspects.
After the troops formed one after another by the empire were defeated several times, they could only allow the enemy to advance straight in.
The battle line advanced all the way to the imperial capital, transforming every place it reached. The steady advance amazed even General Bude, the proud and strongest of the empire.
The enemy was in trouble, and he began to raise his regiment of guards.
Successive victories also made the revolutionary wave more surging.
Starting from the south, the whole empire was set ablaze.
This momentum also made the foreigners and careerists from all over the world take action.
Although they did not receive an invitation, the aliens were still ready to join in this gluttonous feast to divide the empire.
but
When the aliens in the north saw Esdeath's absence, they felt that they were okay again.
After they made a comeback, they were directly defeated by the army led by Tazmi who was stationed at the border. They even fought back into the depths of the ice sheet and killed the king of the alien race.
The Western aliens themselves were beaten badly by Esdeath. After learning about the current situation of the empire, they believed that the time had come.
The morale of the Imperial Army will definitely be affected by the intelligence from the rear, and even the witch will reveal her flaws.
So all the high-level forces in the country were mobilized, and the alchemy masters took part in the war with transformed dangerous species.
Who would have thought that this soldier and horse brought from the north would not panic at all, and even the security of the rear was secretly taken over by An Ningdao.
The alien army in the west was slaughtered, and Esdeath was very happy.
As for the pirates in the south, there was no disturbance at all.
The Imperial Navy was ready to attack, and several large pirate groups were annihilated.
In short, the border is as stable as a mountain, only the empire is in danger.
The little emperor was a little troubled.
"Minister, why can the South do this?
Every court meeting before was a peaceful one for the country and the people, and everyone was bathed in the glory of the empire.
Are you lying to me? "
Ernest's face looked a little ugly. The little emperor was just innocent and not stupid.
Scabies has become a serious problem that even he could not imagine.
When he didn't notice, the southern rebels and An Ningdao came together.
That idiot Berlick didn't send back any useful information, and was even hanged by Geralt by the so-called leader who was tricked in the letter.
From this, we learned that the hunter team without Esdeath's leadership may have all rebelled.
The furious minister immediately ordered the arrest of the hunter's family.
But it's a pity that Bruce's wife and daughter, the only family to care about, have been moved away long ago.
Lan is alone, and her only lover is the imperial eunuch who cannot be moved easily.
Will and Black Eyes completely disappeared.
The most elusive thing is that there is no information about Noah going to the south.
It is unknown whether the other party was killed by the revolutionary army or whether he became a link in betraying the empire.
As Tazmi's humanoid Teigu, there's a lot of complexity behind it.
Could it be that the boy with the stupidly clear eyes is also an actor?
Faced with the little emperor's doubts, the minister had numerous conspiracy theories floating around in his mind but failed to understand them.
I can only respond with some high-sounding words.
"People are just deluded."
