There is no other reason, just because from the next day, the Yanlong Legion actually made a seemingly crazy move - to divide the troops to attack the city.

The soldiers of the more than 400,000 Yanlong Legion are no longer like at the beginning, just blindly attacking the north gate of the Seine King City. Instead, the troops divided into three routes and began to attack the north, east, and west gates of the Seine royal city at the same time.

Sometimes it was real, sometimes it was false, although the Yanlong Legion's offensive was no longer as fierce as the first day, but the frequency of the attack was better than the first day.

The three gates were in danger at the same time, and the defenders of the Seine were exhausted. As soon as the gate was in danger, the defending generals had to send troops to support them.

And what alarmed the King of Seine the most was that although the south gate of the King of Seine had never been impacted, the south side of the King of Seine was the most worrying.

Because the Yanlong Legion actually sent tens of thousands of cavalry troops, stationed outside the south gate of the Seine King City. In this way, even if reinforcements from the Tianlan Empire came to support, they would be hit hard by the cavalry troops of the Yanlong Legion.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, the current Seine King City was unexpectedly surrounded by the Yanlong Legion. Such a situation was unexpected by the defenders of the Tianlan Empire in the Seine King City.

In their expectations, even if the Yanlong Legion wanted to take the Seine Royal City, it would inevitably attack with all its might, and only in this way could the Yanlong Legion avoid the weakness of its troops. Because, you know, the royal city of Seine is so big that it is almost as large as a small province.

The long city wall is the strongest support of the Seine King City, but at this time, the Yanlong Legion is desperate to bloom on all sides and completely annihilate the defenders of the Tianlan Empire stationed in the Seine King City.

But although they couldn't understand what the Yanlong Legion was doing now, the defenders in the Tianlan Empire didn't show how panicked. After all, the Seine Royal City is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, although at this time there are a large number of cavalry units of the Yanlong Legion stationed outside the southern city. However, if the Yanlong Legion thought that this cavalry alone wanted to prevent the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire from entering the city, it would be really a bit whimsical.

Therefore, although the offensive of the Yanlong Legion from the second day became strange, the Tianlan Empire was still able to make the most reasonable resistance.

Ignoring the siege of the other three gates, the cavalry unit of the Yanlong Legion is now stationed outside the southern city of the Seine King City.

This army is naturally led by Li Yi and comes from the 50,000 cavalry of the Central Army. This force, but now the most elite unit of the Yanlong Legion, whether it is combat effectiveness or mobility, is unmatched in the Yanlong Legion.

Since Li Yi told Elena about Hans's plan, Elena sent Li Yi to lead this elite army to rush here. Li Yi received only one task, that is, to create an illusion for the defenders in the Seine King City, the Yanlong Legion wanted to attack the Seine King City in an all-round way, and before the city was broken, the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire were naturally not allowed to enter the city. Therefore, the Yanlong Legion sent this elite division to block the footsteps of the Tianlan Empire's reinforcements entering the city.

Although this move seems to be very crazy, only in this way can the Tianlan Empire see the confidence of the Yanlong Legion to seize the Seine Royal City.

Of course, Li Yi also knew that it was impossible for him to use his 50,000 soldiers and horses to block the footsteps of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tianlan Empire. But if he wanted to continue this scene, Li Yi had no choice but to rush here with the troops.

According to Elena's estimates, the fastest batch of reinforcements from the Tianlan Empire should arrive in three days. The first batch of reinforcements to arrive should be the troops of the Southern Army stationed in the Zhongbang fortress of the Tianlan Empire. It's just that although they are the closest to here, after all, their troops are insufficient, and Elena estimates that the first batch of reinforcements to arrive should only be about 200,000 at most.

Although wanting to fight the fire with 50,000 against 200,000 is simply a moth to the fire, Elena believes that with the perversion of Li Yi and his troops, at the very least, it is not difficult to retreat after a big battle with the first batch of reinforcements from the Tianlan Empire.

And these three days are the three days that the Yanlong Legion should use the most.

In fact, when the Yanlong Legion started the offensive on the second day, the Yanlong Legion was already secretly sending an army of 200,000 back to the southern territory of Said. And Elena also sent her henchmen to bring back the strategies and methods that the Yanlong Legion wanted to use next to the south of Said, and told Margaret, who was shouldering to defend the south of Say.

Since it was preparing to break the cauldron and lure the wolf into the room, the Yanlong Legion naturally had to make all the preparations before all this happened. Since it is to be deliberately defeated, it is natural to minimize one's losses when the battle is defeated and retreats.

The 200,000 troops who were secretly sent back to the southern realm of Sai were the greatest hope for a decisive battle with the Tianlan Empire in the future. This time, they will not only retreat to the southern territory of Saidan, but also to the deepest part of the southern border of Saidan.

In Elena's plan, Creek City is the last stronghold of the Yanlong Legion. After the army of the Tianlan Empire drove here and the Yanlong Legion began to prepare to retreat, Xicheng was the last place where the Yanlong Legion could retreat. Once they retreat here, the Yanlong Legion cannot retreat any more. Because if they retreat again, the Yanlong Legion will no longer have a fortress to use.

Therefore, the 200,000 troops who were secretly sent back to the southern border of Sayyi this time not only had to retreat all the way to Xicheng, but also took away as much grain, grass and armaments as possible from each city along the way. If this is not the case, then these things will inevitably become the bag of the Tianlan Empire.

The reason why Elena dared to make such an arrangement was also because she also had special trust and appreciation for Margaret. Elena also admired this woman who was as intelligent as herself, in fact, Elena knew that if Margaret could have such luck and identity as herself, then perhaps, the current master of the South Realm of Said, maybe this woman.

But since Margaret didn't own these things, Elena's own vision would never come true. Margaret has always behaved decently after claiming to be a vassal to the Flame Dragon Legion, and Elena believes that in this case, Margaret will not do anything to the detriment of the Flame Dragon Legion.

Margaret was also a woman of great intellect, and Elena believed that Margaret knew what to do when her henchmen relayed her thoughts to Margaret.

With Margaret's existence, the 200,000 troops of the Yanlong Legion can not only be best accommodated, but also reduce their losses to the greatest extent in the next possible blows.

After arranging all the back, Elena and Bettina were finally able to devote themselves to the war against the Seine royal city.

Although the two sisters already knew that in the current situation, it was not a wise choice to obtain the royal city of Seine. However, the last royal family member of the Sayy Empire, seeing that the most proud fortress of the Sayy Empire in the past is now under the control of the enemy, thinking of this, it is difficult for the two sisters to be calm.

Therefore, although he knew that he could not attack the Seine King City in a hurry now, the strength of the Yanlong Legion was seriously damaged. However, the two sisters, who couldn't control the excitement in their hearts, still ordered an all-out attack on the Seine King City.

Gradually, the two sisters, who originally had the idea of acting, began to have such an idea in their hearts - wouldn't it be better if they could take down the Seine King City at this time. According to this fortress, I am worried that the future will not be successful.

So unconsciously, the Yanlong Legion's attack on the Seine King City began to become more and more fierce again.

And everything here is unknown to Li Yi, who is far away in the south of the Seine Royal City. Now Li Yi, after leading the troops to be stationed here for three days, the scouts sent out finally came back to report the news. Thirty miles from here, reinforcements from the Tianlan Empire had already appeared.

This support army is mainly based on infantry, although there are also a large number of cavalry units, but it may be to take care of the infantry, the cavalry is only advancing on foot, so the scouts estimate that it will take at least some time for this force to get here.

"So how many troops is the enemy, can you find out who the enemy generals are?" Hearing the scout's report, Li Yi immediately asked eagerly.

"This ...... General, as far as I can see, the enemy forces are huge, at least 100,000 men. I don't know how many. However, according to the previous report from the Yanlong Legion, the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire who came this time should be the Southern Legion stationed in the Zhongbang fortress. They sent 200,000 troops to support this time, and if my expectations are correct, then which troops in front should be the so-called Southern Army. As for the generals who led the army, I have no way of knowing. Hearing Li Yi's question, the scout said embarrassedly after thinking for a moment.

However, although the scout's answer was not very accurate, Li Yi was also very satisfied with hearing such news.

After all, he brought troops here this time, and it was not really to resist the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire.

When Elena sent herself over before, she told herself that once the enemy's reinforcements arrived, she only needed to lead her troops to entangle with the other party, and then she could retreat.

After that, the troops of the Yanlong Legion that are attacking the East Gate will also give Li Yi's troops corresponding support, and when the Tianlan Empire is eager to save the city, it will not be in love with the war, so Li Yi relies on the mobility of his cavalry troops to get rid of the entanglement of the Tianlan Empire's support army, which is more than enough.

Therefore, after hearing the scout's report, Li Yi immediately ordered several heralds to convey the news to the troops of the Yanlong Legion behind him. Li Yi knew that once Elena heard the news, she would definitely make the most correct judgment.

And now, what Li Yi needs to do is to lead his troops to meet the reinforcements from the Tianlan Empire. Although Li Yi knew that he would definitely lose this battle, after so many years of baptism, Li Yi also knew that sometimes, wars still need some defeats to achieve certain strategic needs.

And this time, Li Yi was sent out by the Yanlong Legion, although it was also used as a bait, but this was when Li Yi clearly knew it, so although Li Yi was also an abandoned pawn this time, Li Yi did not have the anger he had back then.

Li Yi's way of thinking is that you can discuss many things with me, even if it is difficult and dangerous, as long as you let me know in advance, I can understand your hardships and use them for you. But if you're just trying to take advantage of me, or even hurt me, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Therefore, although he knew that he would lose this time, Li Yi had no complaints.

Taking out the holy sword Roland, Li Yi looked back at the tens of thousands of elite cavalry following him. Li Yi knew that after this battle, many of his subordinates would inevitably be buried here forever. So although he had no complaints about Elena and Bettina in his heart, Li Yi always felt a little sorry for his subordinates.

Seeing Li Yi's appearance, Mel could naturally think of what Li Yi was thinking at this time.

Riding a war horse to Li Yi's side, Mel said lightly: "Commander, you don't have to think too much. Since those of us who chose to join the battlefield in the first place, we are naturally ready to die on the battlefield at any time. Since we can't escape, we will naturally face it bravely. Who made us soldiers have no other survival skills than killing? In this world, there are gains and losses, and if we want Asia and Europe to win the supreme honor, we will naturally have to pay the corresponding price. ”

Hearing Mel's words, Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could Li Yi not think of these truths, but Li Yi was inexplicably a little upset about these ordinary soldiers.

is the same person, but because of their identity, they can only become pawns in the hands of those big people who want to compete for power.

In the future, when the leaders they now support shine on the mainland and even spread through the ages, who will remember that if there were no ordinary soldiers who were willing to shed their blood in one war after another, how could those so-called big men go down in history.

As a person who is on Bettina's side, although Li Yi can also understand Bettina and her feelings, he knows that Bettina and her family want to return to the country, but just to be worthy of their ancestors.

But as everyone knows, what is the difference between them and those barmasters. For their own selfishness, these thousands of soldiers had to sacrifice their own lives.

But with that being said, the matter is already here. Even if Li Yi felt sorry for the sacrifices of these soldiers, he also knew that his own idea would not affect anyone else.

So after sighing helplessly, Li Yi could only secretly say in his heart: "This world is like this, what's so unfair." If everyone is equal, then how can the world be so colorful? ”

Putting aside the many unrealistic thoughts in his heart, Li Yi finally became calm again.

Looking around at the cavalry behind him, Li Yi raised his long sword and said loudly: "Brothers, what we are about to face is the powerful reinforcements sent by the Tianlan Empire. There are several times more of them than us, but in order to buy enough time for the siege troops, we can only fight them bravely. Tell me, are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!" As if he had been trained, as soon as Li Yi's words fell, the cavalry replied in unison.
