The first is to protect Li Yi's safety, and the second is to follow himself, a powerful commander, to kill the highest commander in the Tianlan Empire. Because since the opening of the war, although the Yanlong Legion has been surrounding the Seine King City and storming it more than once, these soldiers know that although the Yanlong Legion has the advantage on the scene, in fact, the Yanlong Legion has not even shown any signs of victory.

And if his own force, which was originally only used to delay the marching speed of the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire, could successfully kill the top general of the Tianlan Empire's support army, then as soon as the news spread, not only the current crisis could be solved, but even the other brothers of the Yanlong Legion who were storming the Senna King City behind them would also be enthusiastic because of their huge military exploits.

So after misunderstanding Li Yi's thoughts, the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion followed Li Yi all the way to fight for victory. They are not afraid of messing up the formation, what they now have in their eyes is only the head of a high-ranking enemy officer, and as for their life and death, they have already been put out of the way.

This time, the Yanlong Legion can be said to be about to break the cauldron and fight against the water, but Rao is like this, the Yanlong Legion is facing the difficult and dangerous fortress of Seine King City, and the Yanlong Legion has been unable to make any gains so far.

Although the soldiers who came out with Li Yi this time were all troops brought out by Mel in Jingchuan Province. But after all, now these people have joined the Yanlong Legion, and they are equivalent to getting on the thief ship of the Yanlong Legion. Even if it was to save their lives, they also hoped that in the confrontation between the Yanlong Legion and the Tianlan Empire, the Yanlong Legion could win.

Because if the Yanlong Legion is defeated, even if his gang is not the most descendant of the Yanlong Legion, but after the defeat, the Tianlan Empire will not let it go because of this.

So this time they followed Li Yi out to block the reinforcements driven out of the Zhongbang fortress, in fact, these cavalry were already determined to die in their hearts.

Because in their opinion, it is simply an impossible task. Now in the Yanlong Legion, anyone knows that although the number of the first batch of reinforcements from the Tianlan Empire is not much, it is also terrifying as many as 200,000. Although his 50,000 soldiers and horses are also extremely elite, if he wants to defeat the enemy's 200,000 army without any tricks and strategies, this is an impossible task to complete no matter how you look at it.

After all, these cavalry are extremely brave, and they are also the elite soldiers brought out by Mel. But the strategy discussed by Li Yi and Bettina is not so simple to be leaked. Although that strategy is good, if it is known by the Tianlan Empire, then maybe their strategy to lure the enemy into the depths can only evolve into a self-defeating practice in the end.

Therefore, for the sake of the secrecy of the strategy, these brave cavalrymen also knew nothing about it. Therefore, among the 50,000 cavalry who followed Li Yi, except for Mel, they didn't know that after the start of the war, they still had the option of retreating.

But when they didn't know anything about the withdrawal of troops, Li Yi showed a kind of death-defying look, which made these subordinates rush out with Li Yi without fear of death.

When Mel found Li Yi in the hinterland of the Tianlan Empire's army, Li Yi still didn't know anything about the mistakes he had made. When Mel told Li Yi all this, and told Li Yi about the current plight of the army, Li Yi woke up like a dream.

"Ah, how can this be, blame me, blame me. I only care about my own fighting, but I forget that my current actions will affect the actions of the troops. Hearing Mel's relay, Li Yi said with a look of annoyance.

But although Li Yi blamed himself, Mel knew that now was not the time to blame himself, and anxiously looked at the battle situation around him, Mel said anxiously to Li Yi: "Commander, now is not the time to regret it. Although many of our troops are trapped today, after all, the advantage of mobility of our cavalry still exists. As long as we are determined to retreat, no matter how heroic the army of their Tianlan Empire is, we will be helpless. ”

Hearing Mel's suggestion, Li Yi also stopped talking nonsense. First glanced apologetically at the soldiers beside him, Li Yi waved his big hand, and began to retreat quickly behind these people.

While retreating, Li Yi said to Mel beside him: "Don't worry, sooner or later we will kill back." ”

Since Li Yi's troops began to retreat, the Yanlong Legion led by Bettina finally began their planned "Great Escape".

In this great escape, Bettina and her subordinates are dutifully completing their "mission".

The slight difference is that Bettina, as the leader of the legion, knows all the process of this strategy. But what worries Bettina now is that it is now known to the top leaders of their legions, and her men do not know about it. Although this strategy is in Bettina and her opinion, it is the only way for the Flame Dragon Legion now. But Bettina worries that her men won't understand her struggle.

After so many days of war with the Tianlan Empire, Bettina really saw that the strength of the Tianlan Empire was really not something that a rising star like the Yanlong Legion could really compete with.

After five days of siege, the Yanlong Legion was deliberately retaining its strength, but in these five days, the Yanlong Legion had already thrown the corpses of nearly 100,000 soldiers outside the Seine King City. Such a result made Bettina feel extremely cold.

Recalling the beginning, after she had just learned that Li Yi was ready to join the Yanlong Legion again and was willing to help the Yanlong Legion to compete with the old king of the Tianlan Empire, Bettina naively thought that with Li Yi's joining, and Li Yi could also help the Yanlong Legion resist the last killing move of the Tianlan Empire, then the Yanlong Legion could really compete head-on with the Tianlan Empire.

But less than ten days after the Yanlong Legion and the Tianlan Empire started the war, Bettina saw the most real gap between the Yanlong Legion and the Tianlan Empire. Just one Seine royal city made the Yanlong Legion almost completely defeated here.

If it weren't for Li Yi relaying an old-timer's strategy to him on the night of the first day of the war, maybe the troops of the Yanlong Legion would still be surrounding the city outside the Seine King City until now. And if this is really the case, the Yanlong Legion is really not far from annihilation.

Fortunately, now the Yanlong Legion finally has another plan, and because of this sudden change of formation, the Yanlong Legion will not have to attack this seemingly impenetrable Seine King City for at least a short time.

When Li Yi led the cavalry troops to fight against the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire on the front line, and then retreated, Bettina finally knew from Li Yi's relay what kind of strength the Tianlan Empire has now.

Originally, in Bettina's impression, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry unit led by Li Yi was already extremely strong. Even if you don't compare his troops with these militia units in the southern territory of Say, and compare Li Yi's cavalry with the regular troops of the Sayy Empire back then, there is no gap between Li Yi's troops.

And in the previous battle, Bettina also really saw the strong combat effectiveness of Li Yi's cavalry unit.

But such a strong force was routed from the south of the Seine. And it was not at all as he planned, methodically joining up with the troops he left there, and then slowly withdrawing.

This situation made Bettina complain. If the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Tianlan Empire is so strong, then even if the Yanlong Legion has a plan, maybe when it goes head-to-head with the troops of the Tianlan Empire in the future, the Yanlong Legion will not have much hope of winning.

But fortunately, after Li Yi led more than 40,000 cavalry to join his large army, Li Yi also reviewed his mistakes first. Li Yi admitted that it was because of his carelessness that this elite cavalry unit suffered such a defeat.

But now Bettina doesn't have the heart to think about these issues, now that Li Yi has withdrawn, and there is no pursuit of the Tianlan Empire's troops behind Li Yi. In this way, it proves that the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire have been stationed in the Seine King City.

In this case, it proves that the Yanlong Legion is now unable to truly attack the Seine King City.

Although she was still a little unconvinced, Bettina also knew that now was not the time to fight. Putting aside her unhappiness, Bettina took the remnants of the Flame Dragon Legion and began to retreat to the southern border of Sayi in a planned way.

This retreat means that the Yanlong Legion's campaign this time has officially come to an end.

However, the Yanlong Legion's conquest of the Tianlan Empire has come to an end, which does not mean that this sub-war can end here.

In order to deal with this large-scale attack of the Yanlong Legion, the Tianlan Empire has invested a lot of money. Although it did not move the troops in the northernmost part of the empire to defend against the Atlantic Empire. However, the troops in other parts of the Tianlan Empire were almost mobilized by the Tianlan Empire.

If it weren't for the geography of the Tianlan Empire, maybe the Tianlan Empire wouldn't have dared to mobilize so many troops.

Since the Tianlan Empire has made such a big move, of course, it can't be just to defend against the attack of the Yanlong Legion.

As the biggest enemy of the Tianlan Empire, the Yanlong Empire will not let go of the Yanlong Legion so easily.

If this time the Yanlong Legion can capture the Senna King City before the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire arrive, the Tianlan Empire may not hesitate to order the siege of the Senna King City and recapture this fortress in the south of the empire back into their own hands again.

But now that the Yanlong Legion has not even attacked the Seine King City, it is even more impossible for the Tianlan Empire to give the Yanlong Legion a chance to breathe.

With such a large army gathering a combined army, the Tianlan Empire did not let its soldiers come to the south of the empire to see the scenery.

But fortunately, when the large force of the Yanlong Legion withdrew, the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire had not really arrived. Until now, the Seine King City has only gathered a reinforcement from the Tianlan Empire. The royal city of Seine first experienced the previous battle of defending the city, and then joined the reinforcements, and now the royal city of Seine has gathered an army of nearly 400,000 troops.

But Rao is like this, the defending generals of the Tianlan Empire who stayed in the Senna Royal City, because they did not get the next step of the imperial capital's arrangement, so the Senna Royal City did not react to the withdrawal of the Yanlong Legion.

Moreover, in fact, the defenders of the Seine King City, the commanders among them, actually did not believe that the Yanlong Legion had really decided to withdraw.

After all, before, the attitude of the Yanlong Legion towards the Seine King City was not the kind that would give up halfway.

Therefore, when the defenders in the Seine King City saw the troops of the Yanlong Legion retreating back, the Tianlan defenders in the Seine King City thought that this was some strategy by the Yanlong Legion.

Of course, this is really the strategy of the Yanlong Legion. However, unlike what the defenders in the Seine King City thought, the Yanlong Legion was not here to set up suspicious soldiers, so that they could use troops against the Seine King City in the future.

The retreat of the Yanlong Legion this time was to lure the Tianlan Empire to send troops to pursue. If it was really possible to lure out the defenders of the Tianlan Empire, then the Yanlong Legion would have won half of it this time.

But what Bettina is worried about now is that if the Tianlan Empire sends troops to pursue when she withdraws her troops, then even if Bettina arranges a retreat in an orderly manner, she is afraid that the other party will pursue. After all, the defeat was like a mountain, and not everyone in the current Yanlong Legion knew Bettina's thoughts.

If the Tianlan Empire beats the water dogs at such a time, then it will be even more difficult for the Yanlong Legion to preserve its strength when retreating.

Fortunately, the Tianlan Empire has not yet gathered its troops. And the defenders in the Seine King City also thought that the withdrawal of the Yanlong Legion had some intentions. So I didn't dare to venture in.

In this case, Bettina was fulfilled. Seeing that when she was withdrawing her troops, there were no enemy troops chasing after her in the royal city of Seine, Bettina was relieved.

Seeing this several times, Bettina was reluctant to give up. Bettina didn't dare to have any more whimsical ideas now, and now Bettina wanted to get her troops out of the defense of the Seine King City as soon as possible.

If the Tianlan Empire found out that the true intention of the Yanlong Legion was to withdraw its troops, then the Tianlan Empire would not give up the opportunity to pursue the Yanlong Legion.

And when all the defenders of the Tianlan Empire gathered in the Seine King City, it had been almost a month since the Yanlong Legion withdrew. At this time, all the soldiers and horses of the Yanlong Legion had safely withdrawn to the southern realm of Saidan.

All the current new forces of the Yanlong Legion, after experiencing the defeat of the Senna King City, finally took advantage of this time to rest and recover some of their state. However, compared to before the war, the morale of the current legions in the Yanlong Legion is much worse than before.

After all, the battle of the Senna Royal City finally made these soldiers of the Yanlong Legion, who had become overwhelmed by the continuous victories over the years, see clearly the huge gap between themselves and the Tianlan Empire.

To say that although the Seine King City is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, after all, this time, the Yanlong Legion has fully attacked an army of 500,000. And all the rear support was not defective, but even so, the Yanlong Legion was defeated.

Even this time, the Yanlong Legion had been preparing for a long time before. When all the preparations were done quite sufficiently, the Yanlong Legion only attacked the Senna King City for a short period of five days, and then saw that reinforcements were sent from the Tianlan Empire, and their leader Bettina immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.
