Chapter 991 Expedition Strategy
Yang Xuan shook his head slightly, looked at the other party and said slowly, "Your idea is completely correct from a tactical point of view."
"There are indeed small forces in this area. Based on the reputation of our Xuanzi Army and what we have done in the past two days, I believe that most of them will surrender as soon as we arrive."
"But from the overall and long-term perspective, although we can obtain short-term immediate benefits by doing this, it will lay the foundation for very serious troubles in the future."
"First, there is a saying that a tree as beautiful as a tree will be destroyed by the wind. The dark world has just transitioned from the era of hot weapons to the era of cold weapons. Although it is calm on the surface, there are undercurrents."
"At this time, if the Xuanzi Army wildly expands its scope of strength, it will inevitably become the target of public criticism and attract everyone's attention."
"They will think that our Xuanzi Army will take this opportunity to launch a big move, and all forces will be wary of us. In this way, we will be virtually isolated."
"And it is at the forefront of the storm at any time. Once a small fire breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Secondly, the real purpose of these battles we fought is not to plunder resources and expand territory, but to establish a prestige in the dark world at the turn of the times and show that our Xuanzi Army fights with cold weapons. The strength is also top-notch.”
"Then let the brothers get used to fighting with cold weapons. After these two days, our strategic goal has almost been achieved. If we continue to fight, it will deviate from our original intention."
Zhao Feihu nodded his head when he heard this, and he admired Yang Xuan to the extreme.
With such a mind and vision, no wonder the Xuanzi Army can be so fierce. For such a god-level figure with superb martial arts and intelligence, how powerful can the organization he brings out be?
"Almost there?"
Zhao Feilong suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a loophole in what Yang Xuan just said.
If you have reached it, you have reached it. If you have not reached it, you have not reached it. How do you call it almost reached?
Yang Xuan nodded and said, "We have captured five cities in the past two days, which is enough for the dark world to realize that our Xuanzi Army has extraordinary combat power even if we fight with cold weapons."
"But this is still a little short of success. After all, those forces are all small forces. No matter how fast we are, we will always bully the small ones."
"So, we must find a force with a certain reputation in the dark world and fight a beautiful battle. Only in this way can we strategically stabilize the position of our Xuanzi Army in the dark world!"
Yang Xuan's words made everyone's blood boil with excitement.
Zhao Feilong was even more gearing up and said impatiently, "Then who should we fight next?"
Yang Xuan walked to the dark world map hanging on the wall, raised his finger and pointed at a point, "Next, let's hit it!"
Zhao Feilong looked up, and when he saw clearly the place name marked on the dot, he was suddenly surprised and said, "The Lion Barbarian Chapter, Junhou, it seems... it is not appropriate to attack here."
Yang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Oh, really, then you should tell me your opinion."
During the battles of the Xuanzi Army, Yang Xuan never talked about anything and could speak freely on strategic deployment.
In this way, Yang Xuan could not only avoid loopholes in his own thinking, but also take this opportunity to teach the generals a valuable lesson in practical combat theory.
Zhao Feilong said, "First, judging from the distance, the Lion Barbarian Battle Group is too far away from the Xuanzi Army's territory."
"This is looking far away at the expense of the near, which is not good for us."
"Secondly, although the fighting power of the Lion Barbarian Chapter is not among the five major forces in the dark world, the combat power of the Lion Barbarian Soldiers under its command cannot be underestimated."
"Most of the lion warriors are barbarians. They are strong and tall, and have ferocious and cruel personalities. Even if they die in battle, they will never surrender."
"In this way, if we go to war with them, even if we are definitely the winner in the end, the casualties will definitely be huge."
"Third, and most importantly, the Lion Man Chapter's neighbor is one of the five major forces in the dark world, the Snow Feather Chapter!"
"If we extend our hands to the territory of the Lion Barbarian Chapter, we will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Xueyu Chapter!"
"If the Xueyu Chapter gets involved, we will be attacked from both sides, and since we are on an expedition, the situation will be very unfavorable for us!"
Yang Xuan smiled from beginning to end and listened patiently to Zhao Feilong's analysis.
After Zhao Feilong finished speaking, Yang Xuan smiled and said, "On the surface, there is nothing wrong with the three points you just pointed out."
"But you have ignored the most important factor, which is the banner of our Xuanzi Army!"
"The first point you mentioned is that the Lion Barbarian Chapter's territory is indeed far away from us, but don't forget that although the Dark World has entered the era of cold weapons, it's just that the weapons have become cold weapons."
"The remaining means of transportation and information equipment still use modern equipment, so transportation and battle lines are not a problem."
"Of course, on our way to the Lion Barbarian Chapter, we will inevitably pass through the territory of more than a dozen forces."
"But as long as we make it clear that we are just passing by, with our three-character Xuanzi Army, I believe those forces will not have the guts to stop us."
"So, the first point you are worried about is not a problem at all!"
"Second, I totally agree with what you said about the fighting power of the Lion Barbarians. Most of them are natural warriors and their fighting power is very strong!"
"And they have the fighting power of beasts. Even if there is only one soldier left, they will never surrender."
"When fighting them, casualties will inevitably occur, but don't forget that as long as there is a war, there will be casualties."
"Furthermore, our goal in this battle is to find a strong organization as our opponent. Only if this battle continues will it become meaningful."
"As for the third point you mentioned, it is true that the neighbors of the Lion Man Chapter are the Xue Yu Chapter, but it is precisely because of this that I targeted the Lion Man Chapter!"
Zhao Feilong was confused when he heard it. The first two explanations made him enlightened, but the third explanation was a bit confusing.
Yang Xuan glanced at the other party and then explained, "The Xueyu Chapter is one of the five major forces in the dark world, but the Lion Barbarian Chapter has been its neighbor for more than ten years."
"For an organization like the Snow Feathers, there is a beast that may bite at any time at their doorstep. According to normal logic, they will never allow this."
"But the situation between the two sides has lasted for more than ten years. It's not that the Xueyu Chapter is generous or not smart, but that they have a taboo that they cannot break through."
"That is, in addition to the beast directly to the west, the Xueyu Chapter also has an endless and flat buffer zone to the east."
"At the other end of this buffer zone is the East China Sea Chapter, one of the five major forces in the dark world."
"Once the Xue Yu Chapter and the Lion Barbarian Chapter start a war, although the Xue Yu Chapter will definitely be able to defeat the Lion Barbarian Chapter in the end, it will definitely lose their vitality."
"And the terrain is flat to the east. If the Donghai Chapter takes the opportunity to launch an attack at this time, they will be able to reach the Xueyu Chapter's territory and march on the city within three days at most!"
"Compared to the Lion Barbarian Chapter, the East China Sea Chapter is much more terrifying. That's why the Xueyu Chapter has not attacked the Lion Barbarian Chapter in these years."
"And this is a huge opportunity for us."
"If we attack the Shiman Chapter, the Xueyu Chapter will definitely not join the battle. If they join the war at this time, not only will the Donghai Chapter to the east have an opportunity to take advantage of it, but they will also directly offend the Xuanzi Army. !”
"Being at odds with two of the five major forces in the dark world at the same time is actually the same as seeking death."
"Furthermore, although the Lion Barbarian Chapter is adjacent to the Snow Feather Chapter, there is a mountain range between the two forces. If a large group of people wants to advance in, it will have to take a detour of at least five days."
