Yes, the Army of the South clearly was the most expendable part. But I don't see the obvious benefit in expending it by blundering, which is basically what happened. Had any sorcerous resources remained at Irsulor, it could have ended very differently.
Cüréthañ:
The Mandate are no longer linked to an army and could well be considered a spent force by the Consult.
The host is described as a mere conveyance and meat shield to get the sorcerers to Golgotteroth.

I want to believe that, but they have no idea who many chorae they have. They clearly need someone who can pick up a sword in case all the bashrag and great weapon races are wielding them.

Yep, thus 'meat shield'.
But if the consult think all the sorcerers are with the ordeal, there is no need to hold reserves when they crush them.

Again, as I said upthread, I don't necessarily believe that Kellhus counted on such bad tactical decisions by his commanders but, clearly, military strategy suggests people make mistakes and pay dearly for them.
But...
