"Li Yi, are you done with the meeting?" As soon as she walked out of the big tent, Alice immediately walked up to Li Yi and asked enthusiastically.
Li Yi is actually very curious about why every time he finishes a meeting and just walks out of the Chinese army's tent, Alice always appears as soon as possible. Looking at Alice's smiling face, Li Yi patted her forehead indulgently and said, "Well, I've finally finished dealing with those old guys." ”
"Hehe, you deserve it, this is the punishment for not playing with me." Alice said playfully on the side.
"Hehe, where is this?" Li Yi said with a smile, and after speaking, he snatched it tenaciously from Alice's hand and kneaded the fat face of the red panda very violently.
"By the way, Li Yi, how are they going to arrange the battle in the future, don't we attack the Seine King City." After stopping Li Yi's "atrocities" failed, Alice asked about the results of Li Yi's discussion in the big tent.
"Ah, the generals have decided to avoid the Seine for the time being, and continue their assault on the Say's Empire." Li Yi teased tenaciousness and said to Alice.
Only one day after the million-strong army of the Tianlan Empire besieged the Seine King City, the army of the Tianlan Empire did not attack and retreated, and hundreds of thousands of troops retreated into the territory they had captured before, but the western legions did not retreat with the large army, but under the cover of the large army, they quietly detoured from other provinces, staggered the sight of the Seine Royal City, and continued to attack the depths of the Sai Empire.
It may also be that the day is about to forget the Sayy Empire, and after half a month of trekking, the Western Legion finally succeeded in passing through the Guchi Mountains of the Sayy Empire, successfully bypassing the Seine Empire, and came to the Adrak Province of the Sayy Empire.
Since then, the Tianlan Empire has begun a large-scale invasion of the Sayi Empire. Because the Sayi Empire did not expect that the Tianlan Army would bypass the Seine King City, and made a detour to attack other provinces. Therefore, the royal city of Seine gathered most of the country's troops into the royal city of Seine at that time, resulting in the defense of other provinces is now very weak. The Western Legion also obtained the permission of the King of Tianlan for this expedition, and brought a magic crystal cannon with them, striving for a quick victory when necessary, and not giving the defenders of the Sayi Empire the slightest respite.
Under such a fierce offensive of the Western Legion of the Tianlan Army, some other provinces of the Sayy Empire have announced the fall one after another, but the Western Legion under the leadership of Captain Kane does not stop at all, and is not afraid that the Sayy Empire will send reinforcements from the King of Senna, and still takes care of itself with its own legions to continue to attack the city.
And the king of Tianlan did not return to the dynasty because of the easing of the war, and was still within the sphere of influence of the Sayy Empire, leading his hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison half of the Sayy Empire that had been defeated.
However, just when King Tianlan was looking at the good situation on the side of the Sayi Empire, bad news came from the Yunluo Fortress in the north. The Atlantan Empire took advantage of the Tianlan Empire's large-scale attack on the Sayi Empire, and even sent a large army to besiege the Yunluo Fortress. Because King Tianlan took a large number of domestic reserve soldiers with him when he went to the Sayy Empire to oversee the army, at this time, only the Northern Army was stationed in the Yunluo Fortress, and the troops began to look a little stretched.
Hearing the news of the invasion of the Atlantan Empire, King Tianlan was also a little flustered, but after a while, he returned to normal. At the beginning, the Sayi Empire did not capture the Zhongbang Fortress under such a big advantage, and at this time, Atlanta sent an army to attack the Yunluo Fortress, and it was not so simple to succeed.
However, although the king of Tianlan was not particularly nervous because of Atlan's invasion, after all, this was also a border emergency. Now on the side of the Sayy Empire, the empire has a large number of imperial troops, which does not work at all, but also spends a lot of military spending, which makes King Tianlan a little unable to sit still.
Although Li Yi's proposal had been adopted before, and in the south of the Sayy Empire, the Western Legion was also making good progress under the leadership of Commander Kane. However, King Tianlan began to be a little unable to bear such delays, and on the third day of the news of the border emergency, King Tianlan summoned all the officers above the division commander level and held a military meeting.
This time, Li Yi said that he had no idea of attending the meeting again, although Lieutenant General Luo Ning strongly invited, Li Yi did not give Lieutenant General Luo Ning face, and shirked the opportunity to participate in the meeting under the pretext that he needed to drill the team.
But Li Yi's seemingly careless shirk brought irreparable losses to his future life.
At the meeting, King Tianlan proposed the idea of immediately sending an army to attack the royal city of Seine. Send an order to tell Captain Kane to turn around and begin attacking the north gate of the Seine Castle. The 500,000 reserve troops brought by the king of Tianlan attacked from the front and attacked the southern city gate.
"And what about our Central Army?" At the end of the meeting, Lieutenant General Ronin gathered some of his officers and began to plan for the rest of the battle. At the meeting, Li Yi first asked about the whereabouts of the Central Army.
"Rest assured, we will not be transferred back to China to participate in the defense of the Yunluo Fortress, Your Majesty's order to our Central Army is to attack the west gate of the Seine Royal City. And His Majesty promised the magic crystal cannon to our Central Army, and in the upcoming battle of Wangcheng, our Central Army is the real main force. At the meeting, Lieutenant General Luo Ning answered Li Yi's question with a smile.
Hearing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's answer, Li Yi not only did not feel at ease, but became worried because of it. Ever since he had a bad premonition there a few days ago, Li Yi had been thinking about staying away from this place. But now not only did it not stay away, but the Central Army took on the responsibility of the main attack in the Battle of Wangcheng. In fact, Li Yi would prefer to lead his Second Knights back to China to participate in the defense of Yunluo Fortress.
But now that King Tianlan has decided to do so, Li Yi can't openly disobey his orders. You can't just run to King Tianlan right now and say that you don't want to fight the Seine King City. When the king asked himself why, he could not be foolish and say, "Well, I have a sense of foreboding." And my hunch has always been very accurate, and I promised it when I was in the capital of Wu'an. "With such nonsense, the king could not have promised not to take up the duty of the main attack.
However, Li Yi didn't particularly care, after all, this was just a premonition after all, and when he was in the national capital of Wu'an, it was also because the strength of the Tianlan Army was too weak. Now that the advantages of the Tianlan Army are fully displayed, there should not be any big mistakes. No longer listening to Lieutenant General Luo Ning's other arrangements, Li Yi just sat in silence, thinking about his own problems.
On the second day, Lieutenant General Luo Ning sent Li Yi to lead two knight regiments and eight infantry regiments in the Central Army to march to the west gate of the Seine King City.
"Li Yi, lead the troops well, if you perform well in the siege this time, after returning to the imperial capital, I will ask for your life and let you be the commander of the division." Before Li Yi left, Lieutenant General Luo Ning said to Li Yi sincerely.
Li Yi didn't care much about this, after all, he had always taken power very lightly.
"Your 100,000 troops, after arriving at the West City Gate, will start to attack the city with all their might, and the magic crystal cannon in your hand does not have to be stingy, if you feel that you can use it, you will use it immediately. We'll help you keep the Say's eyes on the Empire first, and when you break through the gates, our other legions will rush to your aid. Seeing that Li Yi did not speak, Lieutenant General Luo Ning once again admonished a few words.
Hearing this, Li Yi solemnly gave a military salute, then turned on his horse and led his soldiers to the west gate of the Seine King City.
It wasn't until Li Yi's troops completely left Lieutenant General Luo Ning's sight that Lieutenant General Luo Ning muttered: "Child, I hope you can come back alive this time, don't blame me, this is what Your Majesty meant." ”
At the same time, in the big tent of King Tianlan, Prince Kevin was also standing anxiously beside King Tianlan, as if waiting for the latter to give him an explanation.
The king stood there with a calm face, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Kevin, I have already said before that Li Yi is a difficult person to control, and he only had an extremely high talent in martial arts before. But now I find that in time, he will do the same on the battlefield. In order to prevent future troubles, I have to make this decision. ”
On June 7 of the imperial calendar, this day was the first time that Li Yi personally led division-level troops to fight. After a five-day long journey, Li Yi finally led his subordinates to temporarily assemble an army of 100,000 troops, and felt the west gate of the Seine King City.
Standing in front of the West Gate of the Seine Royal City, Li Yi suddenly felt a little dazed. Although he has already experienced a lot of big and small battles, but now he suddenly let himself command a force of 100,000 people, and he also has to shoulder the heavy task of breaking through the city gate, and after letting the troops press the camp, Li Yi slowly paced in front of the barracks, not knowing how to make a decision next.
"Li Yi, what are you thinking about here, haven't you woken up from the joy of suddenly becoming a teacher?" Seeing Li Yi pacing back and forth in front of the barracks as if he was suffering from gains and losses, Alice stepped forward with a light smile and said teasingly.
"How is it possible, you don't know it, I don't really care about these things, what's more, I only have a 100,000-strong army now, and I don't really become a division commander." Li Yi was no longer in the mood to laugh with Alice at this time, and said with a slight frown.
"Hee-hee, I'm kidding you. It's because you're worried about the siege of the city, with your talent and skills, are you helpless against this Seine royal city? ”
Hearing this, Li Yi finally stopped crying with a sad face, patted Alice's forehead affectionately, and said softly: "Stupid, how can the siege of the city be related to talent." This royal city of Seine has already made all the Imperial officers anxious, how can I, a newcomer on the battlefield, come up with a good plan now. Besides, under the command of General Luo Ning before, I was used to everything being arranged by the above, and now I was really at a loss when I was suddenly asked to give some orders to these troops to attack. Speaking of this, Li Yi frowned slightly again.
"Gee, it's calling me stupid every day. Now that you've become the commander of 100,000 people, don't you have some enlightenment? Hearing Li Yi's complaints, Alice said with a light smile.
"What enlightenment?" Li Yi asked eagerly.
"Hehe, on the battlefield, isn't it just you Li Yi who doesn't understand military affairs, aren't there people in other troops who don't know anything about military affairs. Commander Kane, do you think he has the military talent of General Ronin? Duke Navanesa may not be really proficient in literature and martial arts. ”
"What do you mean?" Although Alice said a lot of things, Li Yi still didn't understand the idea that Alice wanted to convey.
"Stupid, I mean, marching and fighting, since the generals know that they can't make particularly good decisions, why don't you find some soldiers in the army who are talented in military affairs, and then promote them to your side and give you collective advice. Think about Danny back then, what kind of position he held beside Duke Vanessa. Alice Joan's nose wrinkled slightly, and she continued playfully with Li Yi.
Hearing Alice say this, Li Yi's eyes finally glowed. "Ah, you mean that I want to find a man with military talent in the army, and then promote him to be my military advisor? Oops, such a simple thing, how could I not have thought of it. Li Yi banged his head in annoyance and said hatefully.
"Hehe, of course it's because Miss Ben is smarter than you, you idiot, maybe only in cultivation can you reflect the superiority of ordinary people. But don't expect to find someone like Lieutenant General Ronin or Danny in this 100,000-strong army, after all, this is a barracks, and these soldiers are actually used to following orders from their superiors. All that is left to do now is to find among them some people who know a little bit about the royal city of Seine, and then get a good grasp of what is going on in the royal city now. Only in this way will you be able to fight against the Saji army while knowing yourself and your opponent. Seeing Li Yi's look of chagrin, Alice was even more energetic, and said beside Li Yi playfully.
"Well, if you want to talk about this kind of person, as soon as I left Lieutenant General Luo Ning, the general had already arranged a few for my troops. They used to be the spies of our Tianlan Empire in the Sai Empire, and they know the situation in the Seine King City very well, so I will go and find them now, I don't want to expect them to give me any wonderful plans, at least I have to grasp the West Gate first, and how many defenders there are now. Also, what kind of environment will we face in the Seine King after the city is broken. As he spoke, Li Yi gave Alice an appreciative look, and then immediately turned around and went back to the camp to find the soldiers who knew the situation in the Seine King City.
After inquiry, Li Yi roughly grasped some of the current situation in the city of Seine.
In the current Seine royal city, the total number of troops has indeed reached one million. Although there are reserve legions in the hasty army, their combat power cannot be ignored when defending the city. However, as for the situation at the West City Gate, because these spies had withdrawn from the royal city in advance before the war began, they did not know the current division of troops in the royal city.
But after knowing the current total strength in the Seine Royal City, Li Yi could more or less guess that the Say Empire would inevitably divide its troops to evenly guard the four gates in the Royal City. After all, they didn't know which gate the Tianlan Empire would attack, and the Senna Royal City was so big, even if they wanted to temporarily support other city gates, it was impossible to do it in a short period of time.
Thinking about this, Li Yi guessed that there should be at least 200,000 garrisons of the Sayi Empire stationed in the West City Gate that he was facing now. Maybe more, but definitely not much, but definitely not less than 200,000.
