"yes, yes." Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Bettina also nodded yes again and again. But even though Li Yi was so reasonable, Bettina couldn't figure out what Li Yi said had to do with how many troops were sent to the city last night.

Seeing that Bettina still looked confused, Li Yi said lightly: "After last night's battle, although we can't know how many troops the coalition of the Path Legion has lost now, one thing is for sure is that after last night's battle, the current strength of the Path Legion will definitely not be able to continue to launch an effective attack on our Xicheng." Unless, of course, they are hot-headed from defeat, and let their soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit come to die in vain under the walls of our Creek City. ”

"Well, you have a point, although I haven't made a specific observation of how many troops the coalition of the Paz Legion lost after last night's battle. But according to my estimates, they suffered at least half of the casualties in that battle. Because we, as the side of the sneak attack, have lost more than 30,000 troops. Speaking of the bloody night last night, Bettina was also embarrassed. Especially when she thought of returning from the victory and learning the number of soldiers killed in battle, Bettina couldn't help but sigh in her heart, war is really a huge meat grinder. In just one night, on the plains outside Xicheng, there must be at least more than 100,000 lives that have left this world forever.

But in this regard, Li Yi was very calm. After getting used to this kind of life and death, Li Yi already had a very clear understanding of the cruelty of war.

So ignoring the tangled expression on Bettina's face now, Li Yi continued to speak: "You say, since the coalition forces of the Path Legion have lost the power to snatch Creek City, what will they do. ”

Seeing that Li Yi not only did not continue to explain, but asked himself. After thinking for a while, Bettina said to Li Yi with certainty: "Since they have lost the strength to fight again, then I think they must stop fighting and withdraw their troops." ”

"Well, that's right. Rather than bring the remnants of the defeated army outside to mediate with us, it is better to stop the battle and withdraw the troops immediately. I think that a little sane chief would have made such a decision in this situation. But if they make such a decision, they are doomed to even greater disaster. Speaking of this, the corners of Li Yi's mouth couldn't help but show a cruel smile.

Seeing that Li Yi's face rarely showed such an expression, Bettina was surprised for a while, and then said to Li Yi suspiciously: "How can they face a greater disaster when they withdraw their troops." If they withdraw their troops, they will face a worse situation than if they continue to storm our city. ”

Regarding Li Yi's statement, Bettina obviously couldn't figure it out. Although she didn't know much about war, she could also figure out that if she didn't fight well and was defeated by her opponent, then Ming Jin would withdraw her troops and go back to recuperate, so she could naturally come back and continue fighting.

But in Li Yi's world, it seems that the two armies are at war, and if one side is defeated, then the defeated side will fall into a state of no return. Bettina couldn't figure out what to say.

Looking at the puzzled expression on Bettina's face, Li Yi also guessed that Bettina must have been a little puzzled by what she said. So after shaking his head helplessly, Li Yi continued to say to Bettina slowly: "Bettina, you have to remember that war is war, it is not a battle between our warriors. Since the two sides are at war, it must be because both sides have their own plans. Or for money rights, or for hatred. But no matter what the purpose is, in the end, there is a winner and a loser. And for the sake of victory, the two sides will naturally meet each other and fight to the death. Since this is already the case, then after the war between the two sides, they must have formed an irresolvable hatred. Therefore, the Paz Legion outside the city now is the enemy of your Yanlong Legion, and it is the most hateful enemy. So in the face of the enemy, don't you think you should kill them all? ”

After listening to Li Yi's story, Bettina couldn't help but fight a cold war. It's not entirely because of what Li Yi said, but a bigger part of the reason is because when Li Yi told this, he didn't know whether he was conscious or unconscious, and he exuded cold killing intent all the time. This feeling was something Bettina had never felt from Li Yi before.

For Li Yi, Bettina always felt that Li Yi was a mysterious man. Judging from his many performances, Li Yi seems to be a man who has no desires. But sometimes, the obsession shown from Li Yi makes people shudder.

It's like when Li Yi just told me about the identities of both the enemy and the enemy, and the results after the war. Although it was just an ordinary truth, but after Li Yi's mouth said it, it made Bettina feel terrified in her heart.

Is this the true face of this man? Bettina is now unable to answer any of Li Yi's questions, so she can only keep asking and answering herself in her heart.

In fact, based on these alone, it cannot be said that Li Yi is a cold-blooded person. Li Yi's world is very simple, it is nothing more than relying on his own preferences and intuition to do things, and he is decisive. A person or a thing, good is good, bad is bad. If you like it, then you will naturally take care of it in every way. And if he doesn't like it, even if the other party doesn't have much hatred with him, as long as the other party is on the opposite side of him, then Li Yi doesn't mind making a move and making him disappear into this world.

Such a world, although somewhat violent and unreasonable, is also straightforward. Such a person is easy to offend people, but at the same time, it is easy to make friends. Although a few people around Li Yi didn't say it, in fact, a few of them, from the bottom of their hearts, recognized Li Yi very much.

And although Li Yi met Bettina before coming to the south of Said, they were not together for a long time after all. And Li Yi is not the kind of person who likes to show himself, so Bettina has never known Li Yi very well.

So when Li Yi showed his decisive side in front of Bettina today, Bettina was a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the expression on Bettina's face, Li Yi was stunned at first. However, recalling the words he had just said, and the god-killing technique that unconsciously worked when he was speaking, Li Yi guessed that it should be the heavy murderous aura on his body that made Bettina a little uncomfortable.

Smiled apologetically at Bettina, Li Yi asked awkwardly, "Bettina, what's wrong?" Could it be that what I just said made you feel uncomfortable? ”

Hearing Li Yi's question, Bettina woke up from her stunned state just now. Playing with her hair awkwardly, Bettina said with a smile: "I didn't feel uncomfortable, but when you spoke just now, the momentum exuded from your body was a little scary." However, I have to say that what you just said is very reasonable, as an enemy, if we do not continue to pursue when the other side is defeated, then in the future, when they have rested, they will inevitably come back to harass us. If you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots now, you will leave yourself with a big trouble. ”

Seeing Bettina say this, Li Yi knew that she was enlightened. So Li Yi smiled proudly before continuing to say to Bettina: "It's right that you can think like this, in fact, I didn't expect that we would be able to win such a big victory last night." Originally, my intention was to weaken them to a certain extent, and at the same time to allow our soldiers to vent their anger. In this way, when we continue to hold on to the city, it will naturally be much easier. It's just that I didn't expect the result to be so gratifying, and such a result really gave us a happy trouble. Speaking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Seeing Li Yi's appearance, Bettina was stunned again. In the previous second, Li Yi was still exuding a terrifying murderous aura all the time, but in a blink of an eye, when Li Yi spoke, he acted as if he was a weak scholar. Such a big contrast made Bettina feel a little unable to see through Li Yi.

But this time, Bettina was not stunned, but asked Li Yi with a smile: "What is the trouble of happiness, isn't it good for us to win a big victory?" ”

"Victory is a good thing, but I didn't expect it to come so violently. We have not simply weakened them, but have already crushed the enemy. You also said that the current Paz Legion, if their leader can still have a trace of sanity, then he will inevitably choose to withdraw his troops. This is an opportunity, the Paz Legion is actually riding a tiger now. In the face of Xicheng, they were no longer able to snatch it. But if you want to collect the troops, how can it be so easy to leave? Li Yi said lightly, but inadvertently, there was a trace of killing intent on his body.

"You mean, when they retreat, we should choose to take advantage of the victory and pursue?" Bettina is just stupid, after Li Yi said so much, Bettina also understood the meaning of Li Yi's words.

Li Yi said before that the grass should be eradicated, and then he kept mentioning the retreat of the Paz Army. It seems that Li Yi really intends to let all the Paz Legions, who dare to challenge the authority of the Yanlong Legion this time, stay in Xicheng.

"My thought is this, that after two days of fruitless siege, the Paz Legion was attacked by our night and so badly damaged, and if their troops can maintain their vigorous fighting strength, then I can only say that the charisma of their leader is truly amazing. Therefore, in the face of such a group of soldiers who have completely lost their fighting spirit, if we continue to pursue them when they retreat, then although I dare not say that we can destroy their entire army, but at least we can make them bleed again. Li Yi said with a smile, Li Yi at this time seemed to be talking about a light thing.

"But after last night's battle, our Yanlong Legion is also seriously injured. Let's not talk about the soldiers who have died in battle, even those who can come back alive after a night of bloody fighting, they are already exhausted. It seems to be a little difficult for them to regain their peak combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Although Bettina was also very interested in beating the water dogs, thinking of the current situation of the Yanlong Legion, Bettina could only shake her head regretfully.

And the problem that Li Yi had been troubled with before was exactly what Bettina was worried about now. Although the Yanlong Legion won a big victory last night, it was a bloody battle after all, and all the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion needed to rest at this time. If you let them stick to the city, it may be fine, but if you let them march out of the city and chase the enemy, then it will be really difficult for some strong men.

And the trump card army in Li Yi's hand, the cavalry regiment brought from Lingcheng, although the casualties were not many after last night's battle, they were all extremely tired. When he returned to the city before, Li Yi found that some of the war horses in the army were already showing fatigue, not to mention those cavalry wearing heavy armor and slashing the enemy overnight.

After thinking about it, Li Yi found that at this time, it was difficult to find a force in Xicheng that could exert amazing combat power.

As a result, although the Paz Legion is also the last of the crossbows, if they choose to withdraw their troops immediately. Then the Yanlong Legion can really only watch them retreat, even if they want to force out of the city to pursue, then it is estimated that they will not be able to cause much damage to the enemy, at most it can play a harassing role, and it is even possible that the troops who are forced to go out of the city to pursue will suffer heavy losses because of their greed.

After figuring out this, Li Yi could only sigh helplessly like Bettina, it seems that it is really too sleepy to kill them all.

Li Yi was able to have this idea entirely because of an experience in the past. When the Sayy Empire brazenly attacked the Zhongbang Fortress, in the end, the Sayy Empire chose to withdraw because it could not attack for a long time. But at that time, among the fortresses of Zhongbang, there were millions of troops of the Tianlan Empire. Although when they were holding the fortress before, the troops of the Tianlan Empire also suffered a lot of losses. But after all, there are millions of male soldiers in the fortress of Zhongbang. Seeing the enemy retreating, Lieutenant General Luo Ning immediately thought of taking advantage of the victory to pursue. And he has this idea, and his troops do have this strength. Only when these conditions are established at the same time can the idea of beating the water dogs be truly implemented.

Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seems that his strength is too thin after all, and many times, many ideas cannot be realized, not only because of personal reasons. It is possible that many ideas have been stranded because the outside conditions do not allow it.

And from this, Li Yi also suddenly thought that the strength of the Tianlan Empire was far beyond his current reach. It seems that there is really too much way to go if you want to bring down the behemoth of the Tianlan Empire.

But even though he knew that the road ahead was bumpy, Li Yi was not disheartened by this. After a little sigh, Li Yi's face showed that trademark confident smile again. patting Bettina on the shoulder who was sighing on the side, Li Yi said with a smile: "Okay, since we don't have the strength to fight anymore now, let's let them go." After all, people have to know how to do what they can, and if they are too reluctant, they will be heeled sooner or later. ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Bettina was also much relieved. Many things can't be forced, and since the situation of the Yanlong Legion doesn't allow them to attack again, then they can only accept this result calmly.

But just when Li Yi and Bettina had already decided not to talk about the attack, but immediately ordered the troops to rest and recuperate, waiting for the next situation. Suddenly, an officer hurriedly ran to Bettina and said respectfully to Bettina: "General, it's not good, the Paz army outside the city has quickly assembled its troops, and it is already under the city at this moment, and it may attack at any time. ”

Hearing the news, not only Bettina opened her mouth in surprise, but even Li Yi on the side showed her surprise to some extent.
