Seeing this situation, Bettina could only see it in her eyes and be anxious in her heart. For the sake of the final victory, Bettina can only endure now. As long as she felt that she could still control the troops for a day, Bettina would lead the army of the Tianlan Empire as far as possible into the depths of the southern realm of Say.

The only thing that made Bettina happy was that although the soldiers of her own troops were dissatisfied with her tactics, after all, they were the soldiers she brought out, and until now, Bettina's orders were still very intimidating in the Yanlong Legion.

At the same time, because of the successive battles, the army of the Tianlan Empire also began to become aggressive.

Bettina was enduring it, and she knew that as long as she endured it for a while, the balance of victory would begin to tilt in favor of the Yanlong Legion.

"Bless me, Father, and bless your people." During one of the routs of her troops, Bettina looked up at the sky and met the sun, muttering prayers.

"Damn, you're out of this mountain of evil. Commander, I hope we can get out of the way this time, or we'll be sorry for us crossing such a mountain range. At the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of the Taikaro Mountains, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of an officer of the Yanlong Legion looked back at the endless mountains behind him, and said to a handsome man with a foul mouth.

This person, naturally, followed Li Yi over the mountains and mountains, skillfully evaded the blockade of the Seine King City, and successfully rushed to Mel on the territory of the Lan Empire today.

And the handsome man standing next to Mel is naturally the commander-in-chief of this army, Li Yi.

Listening to the complaints of his subordinates, Li Yi didn't really take it to heart. Because although Mel has always raised his hands in favor of his decision, this time it took nearly a month to follow Li Yi across the entire Taicairo Mountains. Rao is a strong-willed person like Mel, and he can't help but complain a few words to Li Yi.

So when Li Yi and their troops all walked out of the Taikaro Mountains, although Mel said a few words of dissatisfaction, Li Yi only regarded this as Mel's way of venting. In fact, that's exactly what happened. Mel actually saw that he had finally seen the plain again after going through a lot of hardships, and he didn't know how to vent his excitement for a while, so he could only say such a few foul words out of instinct.

But although this is just a vent from Mel, it is actually Mel's sincere words. Mel is not afraid of death, but he is only one person after all. If you can live well, no one will want to choose death.

As Li Yi's valued supporter, Mel knew that this time he followed Li Yi secretly to the rear hinterland of the enemy, although he had successfully taken the first step, but Mel knew that the next battle would be extremely dangerous. Even if Mel's strength is not bad now, he is not sure that he can escape in the midst of thousands of troops.

And Mel is like this, so what about the cavalry who followed Li Yi all the way to get here, they are just ordinary soldiers, after this sneak attack, it is unknown whether the people who can follow Li Yi and them back can exceed a thousand.

That's why Mel sighed from the bottom of his heart when he stepped back on the plains. This sentence is not only an emotion, but also a blessing for himself and these brothers who came with him. This rugged man, after he set foot on the land of the Tianlan Empire again, the deep fear of the Tianlan Empire in his heart immediately emerged.

But as the leader of the current army and the initiator of this operation, Li Yi naturally knew what Mel was thinking when he said such a thing after hearing Mel's emotion.

But although Li Yi was also full of guilt in his heart, Li Yi knew that if he didn't do this, then it would be even more difficult for the Yanlong Legion to win this time.

In order to minimize the sacrifice of the Yanlong Legion, Li Yi could only reluctantly pick up this heavy burden and lead his brothers to this dangerous place where there was almost no return.

Mo said whether they could win when they collided with the army of the Tianlan Empire, even if they could really win all the way, in the end, it would be impossible for them to attack the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire. In fact, with their people, it is impossible to break through the defense of the Zhongbang fortress.

Therefore, when Li Yi and the others set foot on this land, everyone knew that if they wanted to leave alive, there were only three ways.

First, they can march all the way north with a large army and successfully reach the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire. Destroy the defenders of the Tianlan Empire who remain in the Tianlan Empire, and capture or kill the newly ascended Emperor Kevin. If they can do this, then they will not only be able to save their lives, but they will also be the greatest contributors to the founding of the Sayy Empire. But as long as there is still a shred of sanity, the possibility of this happening is simply zero.

And the second possibility, that is, Li Yi and his troops caused huge trouble in the rear of the Tianlan Empire and successfully contained the forces of the Tianlan Empire. At the same time, the Yanlong Legion also successfully counterattacked after forbearance, so that the two armies could attack the troops of the Tianlan Empire at the end of the day, and when the two forces converged, it was time for them to be safe. However, this is still very unlikely.

The last possibility is that Li Yi and his team really managed to successfully contain the defenders of the Tianlan Empire here, but after all, they were not enough, and they would inevitably retreat in the end. Behind them, however, was the blockage of a huge fortress, the royal city of Seine. They wanted to return to the southern border of Sai and join the main army, and the only way to do so was through the royal city of Seine. And to do that, the chances of success are slim to none.

There are only three ways to save lives, but no matter which one you do, either theoretically or practically, it is impossible to do it. Therefore, the people in this army today basically foresee their future fate.

But these soldiers are really well-known men, their strength is not necessarily the strongest, their equipment is not necessarily the most sophisticated, and even their war horses are just the most ordinary war horses. None of their own conditions can compare to the defenders of the Tianlan Empire, but they knew that they were going to participate in a battle to the death, but they still followed Li Yi here without hesitation.

For that alone, they deserve the title of heroes.

In today's cavalry team, it is no longer all the team led by Li Yi before.

The 50,000 horses brought by Li Yi were actually all men and horses from the Yanlong Legion, not the elite army that Mel brought out from the Mausoleum City.

The reason is very simple, the first is because Li Yi doesn't want the elite troops that Merxin has worked so hard to manage to be buried in vain on the side of the Tianlan Empire.

The second reason is that Li Yi knows that although the cavalry unit brought out by Mel is an elite division, if they know that they are going to participate in an extremely dangerous battle, then it will definitely have a great impact on the morale of this elite army. In this case, it is better to leave most of them in the Yanlong Legion and follow Bettina to fight and retreat. When the Yanlong Legion wants to fight back, they can still play their best role.

Based on these two factors, Li Yi and Bettina decided together that the vast majority of the troops to carry out this sneak attack mission would be selected from the insiders of the Yanlong Legion.

The selected warriors do not have to be the strongest, but they must be the most loyal warriors to the former Sayy Empire. With their fanaticism for the already extinct empire, they will bring out their greatest combat effectiveness when they are in a desperate situation.

That's why there is a death squad with 50,000 people following Li Yi now. They have only one goal, that is, when they fight with the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire on the battlefield, as long as they can kill one more soldier before they die, then the brothers from afar will have less pressure in the future fight.

With such an attitude, everyone went through hardships and dangers, and finally it took more than a month to successfully cross the Taikaro Mountains, which seemed to be impossible to cross at all.

After the troops had just walked out of the Taikaro Mountains, Li Yi was not very familiar with the environment here, so he still ordered the troops to rest first. Then a few teams of scouts were sent out to find out the news, and it took a day for the scouts to go back and forth.

And when Li Yi knew that he had not only successfully crossed the Taikaro Mountains with his troops, but had really come to Bada Province, where the defense was the weakest in the rear of the Tianlan Empire, as he had budgeted before, Li Yi was still a little excited.

After determining the current situation, Li Yi knew that the long harassment war was about to begin.

But just when Li Yi was about to order the army to march, a scout suddenly rushed over from a distance, and after rushing to Li Yi, the scout turned over and dismounted, and said to Li Yi eagerly: "General Li Yi, there are a large number of enemy troops ten miles ahead, and the number of enemy troops is estimated to be about 20,000. ”

Hearing the scout's report, Li Yi's brows couldn't help but furrow again. It stands to reason that now Li Yi has led his troops to the province of Bada, which is far away from the royal city of Seine. Not only is it thousands of miles away from the Seine Castle, but it is also separated by a province of Danfeng. According to this situation, there should not be many defenders here.

And even if there were twenty or thirty thousand garrisons stationed here, they would definitely not march outside the city on such a large scale.

Could it be that his whereabouts have been exposed? Just came here and was discovered by the Tianlan Empire, so they sent troops to prepare to destroy us? All the thoughts looked into the distance, Li Yi thought curiously.

But soon Li Yi also rejected this idea, because if the whereabouts of the troops led by Li Yi were really discovered by the Tianlan Empire. Then what was waiting for them could not be just about 20,000 Tianlan enemy troops.

Since this is the case, then this sudden appearance of the Tianlan Empire's army really made it difficult for Li Yi to figure out why they were here.

What makes Li Yi more difficult now is that if he follows his original assumption, although he has a force of 50,000 soldiers, and this army is all cavalry. According to the combat effectiveness of Li Yi's troops, it is not impossible to destroy the troops of the Tianlan Empire, which numbered at 20,000.

But Li Yi and the others are now preparing to attack mainly after all, and Li Yi does not want to have a head-on battle with the troops of the Tianlan Empire for the time being. If one is accidentally dragged by the other party, then what awaits Li Yi may be boundless entanglement.

Therefore, after hearing the news of encountering the 20,000 Tianlan Empire troops as soon as he came to Bada Province, Li Yi couldn't help but hesitate. In the end, whether to fight or avoid, Li Yi needs to make a choice quickly.

But just as Li Yi hesitated, another scout from the Yanlong Legion quickly arrived in the distance.

"Report to the regiment leader, the troops of the Tianlan Empire that were discovered are not real combat troops. Of the 20,000 horses, only a few were armed, and the rest of the soldiers were all grain and grass soldiers. This unit should only be a transport unit that escorts grain and grass to the front-line troops, and its combat effectiveness should not be very strong. After the scout came to Li Yi's side, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and said to Li Yi with a smile on his face. Because this scout was an old subordinate who had fought with Li Yi in the Seine King City, when talking to Li Yi, he still called Li Yi the head of the regiment according to his previous habit.

And after hearing the news of his old subordinate, Li Yi's originally frowning brows were finally loosened, and replaced by a relaxed face.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. This time, he wanted to contain the troops of the Tianlan Empire in the rear of the Tianlan Empire, and if he wanted to do this, destroying the enemy's food and grass supply was the best choice.

Originally, Li Yi, who was still afraid of the enemy's numbers, but now after hearing the report that the other party was just a transport force, Li Yi immediately began to think about how to exterminate this transport force.

The transport force is the enemy force that Li Yi wants to encounter the most, because the war with the transport force is not only very dangerous, but also has a great hope of victory. And as long as the opponent can fight after the elimination of the opponent's personnel, those grain and grass soldiers do not need to think about it at all. At the same time, destroying the enemy's transport troops can not only cause huge losses to the enemy's grain and grass supply, but also solve the problem of supplying their own troops.

You must know that Li Yi led the troops out this time, which can be said to be a ruin, a battle against the water. Therefore, there are very few grain and grass belts in this army, and there are no transport troops in the entire army. So now seeing that he has just come here, the Tianlan Empire has given such a big gift, how can he not make Li Yi happy.

After the excitement, Li Yi immediately ordered the troops to assemble, find favorable terrain here, and prepare to ambush this Tianlan Empire's transport force for a while.

Because Li Yi had estimated that the place where they set up an ambush was a necessary place for the Tianlan Empire's transportation troops. Therefore, Li Yi was relieved and boldly set up an ambush here, just waiting for the Tianlan army to take the initiative to enter the urn.

After a long wait, so long that even Mel beside Li Yi was a little drowsy, the transport force of the Tianlan Empire finally appeared in the field of vision of Li Yi and his men at an extremely slow marching speed.

"Mel, don't sleep, look at your good taste. The enemy has appeared, and prepare to meet the enemy. After seeing Tianlanjun appear, Li Yi angrily pushed Mel beside him and whispered.

was woken up by Li Yi and after hearing Li Yi's words. Mel smiled wryly, and then said to Li Yi in a low voice: "Hehe, let the head of the regiment laugh." It's just that this Tianlan Empire's transport force is really too fucking evil, it's just a ten-mile road, not a mountain road. They walked for almost a day. If they could slow down a little longer, the battle between the Yanlong Legion and the Tianlan Empire would not have to be fought. Drag them to death directly, because before the war starts, their dogs and mother-raised miscellaneous people have already starved to death. ”
