The First Division and the Cavalry Division of the Xia Kingdom began to send troops from the territory of the former Yili united, marching towards the east, and will continue to attack to the coast of Linhai.

The first target of the two divisions was Bernser Germany. The country suffered heavy losses due to its participation in the alliance. At this time, facing the nearly 100,000 troops of the two divisions of Xia Kingdom, Bernser Germany had no resistance.

The speed of the fall of Bernser Germany is the speed of Xia's advancement. It will only be blocked when encountering a city, so that the Xia army will not be allowed to advance straight into it.

In any case, the fall of Bernser Germany is already destined, and it is only a matter of time to fall completely.

In the south, Zhou Wu led the Imperial Guards and the City Guards led by Zhang Wei to pacify the area outside Shanhaiguan.

The two of them joined forces this time since the Xia Kingdom grew stronger. I remember that when they joined forces, they were still fighting the primitive natives on the southern wasteland at that time.

Regarding how to pacify the area outside Shanhaiguan, Zhou Wu and Zhang Wei had Yang Song and Liu Ji pointed a general direction to him before going to the expedition, and the remaining details were decided by the two of them.

In the general direction of the attack, the most important point is to ensure the smooth logistics of the northern army, which cannot be misunderstood!

Therefore, after discussion, Zhang Wei and Zhou Wu decided to send troops to divide the vassal states outside the pass into two parts, and to ensure that the access to the logistics supply line can be smooth.

After ensuring smooth logistics, the troops will be divided into two parts and attacked the east and west sides at the same time until all the land of the vassal states are completely occupied.

Then join forces and launch an attack on the Fulimet country further east to ensure that there are no worries before advancing westward - this is the second major offensive direction that Liu Ji pointed to the two.

For this reason, it is also a last resort to abandoning part of the occupied land in the west, which is also a last resort because of insufficient military strength.

As long as you completely occupy the Welcoming Met Kingdom in the east and finally move the army westward, nothing will be an obstacle.

When two armies fight, the gains and losses of one city and one place are not a big problem, as long as the final victory can be ensured.

...

After less than ten days spent, Zhou Wu and Zhang Wei quickly reopened the logistics channel, the Imperial Guards and the City Guards would separate.

Before the division of the army, Zhou Wu clasped his fists to Zhang Wei and said solemnly and thoughtfully: "General Zhang, the logistics channel instructed by the king is now open. Next, you and I will take care of you and I will divide the army."

Next, Zhou Wu will lead most of the imperial guards to march towards the east, and Zhang Wei will also lead 90% of the city guards to launch an attack westward.

Because some vassal states in the east had relatively few land and were large in the west, the two decided to attack the east by a smaller imperial guards, and the large city guards launched an attack to the west.

Although the Imperial Guards were divided into two regiments, even the remaining troops were not weak at all compared to a complete city guard, and it might be even stronger.

However, the area in the east is small, but the Imperial Guards are actually not less powerful than those in the west.

Because there is a powerful and powerful country in the east, the four vassal states concentrated most of their troops on the border between the two forces.

If the Xia State had not provided 100,000 young and strong labor for each vassal state before, and the conflict between the vassal state and the Welfare Met State would have stopped, otherwise there would have been a series of continuous battles on the border line now.

It is precisely because the vassal states provided the Xia State with 100,000 young and strong, that the troops of each vassal state were directly lost by nearly half, and that the Imperial Guards and the City Guards could easily capture all vassal states.

------------

Zhang Wei personally led the headquarters of the city guards to capture another town. He stood on the only intact west wall of the town and watched the soldiers in the city driving residents out of the city.

"Report to General, there is a place of chaos ahead." Zhang Wei's guard walked up to the city and clasped his fists at him.

When Zhang Wei heard this, he turned around and looked out of the city. He was wondering before that why this area was so desolate, and there were not many residents at all. Instead, there were riots everywhere, and it turned out that he had reached the border.

"It's time to go back." Zhang Wei thought to himself, and then ordered the guards who were on standby behind him: "Let your brothers speed up the movements, clean up the town, rest for another night tonight, and withdraw tomorrow."

By this time, it had been one month since the division of Zhou Wu's troops, and Zhang Wei had also fought outside for a month without realizing it.

From the high fighting spirit when he first set out to fight, the numbness in the end seemed to be just over a month, but it was a torment for the entire army.

Over the past month, the city guards have experienced no less than a hundred battles of all sizes, most of which were expulsion battles. In addition, the four siege battles when capturing the capitals of four vassal states can be regarded as several hard battles.

However, Zhang Wei believes that after the baptism of this war, the city guards will undergo a transformation from a first and second-line security and garrison to an elite army with rich combat experience.

This can be regarded as a training session for the city guards, which just filled the "absence" of the previous training plan.

...

Unlike the city guards that have been experienced and trained, the Imperial Guards led by Zhou Wu were originally elites drawn from various armies, plus the most exquisite weapons and equipment, as well as heavy equipment, the Imperial Guards can be said to be the most powerful division in the Xia Kingdom.

It was precisely because of the strong combat power of the Imperial Guards that they rushed to the eastern area where the vassal states gathered heavily.

The battle of the Imperial Guards came very quickly. The day after the division of troops, they encountered a withdrawn army of a vassal state - an unexpected encounter in the wild.

The Imperial Guard, which had only 28,500 people, faced the enemy's 30,000 retreat troops. Under the bombardment of 330 field artillery and 110 siege artillery, the enemy's 30,000 army was vulnerable!

Even under the pursuit of 15,900 cavalrymen, the enemy's army did not even have a chance to escape, and was wiped out on the plains more than 20 kilometers east of Nanshan City.

Such powerful firepower and so many mobile powers are exactly where the Imperial Guards' powerful offensive power lies, which is not possessed by the other divisions.

Immediately afterwards, as the Imperial Guards advanced, they encountered one retreating army after another. It seemed that the attack of the Western City Guards was very smooth.

Before, when the Imperial Guards and the City Guards joined forces to open up the logistics channel, they encountered several troops retreating from the eastern border.

It was precisely because the Xia army opened up the logistics supply line and divided the east and west connections of the vassal states that the army arranged in the east of the vassal states also lost the logistics supply. Did the several armies they fought with wanted to open up the logistics supply?

Therefore, the army encountered by the Imperial Guards is not just about retreating, but also about trying to open up the connection between the east and west sides, otherwise their logistical lack will not take long to make the army in the east defeat without fighting.

The troops that were constantly retreating allowed the Imperial Guards to move forward and fight along the way. It was precisely because of this that when the Imperial Guards reached the final border, they did not see anyone at all.

In fact, before the Imperial Guards arrived at the border, the soldiers of the Fulimet State had occupied the areas where the vassal states had withdrawn, but when the Fulimet State knew that the Xia army had arrived, they "wisely" chose to retreat.

In less than half a month, the Imperial Guard completed the occupation mission in the eastern part of the vassal state. Later, while waiting for the reunion of the city guards, the Imperial Guard stopped on the border between the various vassal states and the Fulimet state, and sent two cavalry battalions to which they belonged to were used to maintain the logistics line.

At this point, until the day when Zhang Wei led the city guards back, the Xia Kingdom occupied all the land of the four vassal states that they surrendered to him - although this land was not very stable and peaceful!
