"That's very good, the generals are all veterans of the battlefield, and with you in charge, we don't have to be too nervous." Hearing General Luo Ning's arrangement, Li Yi's tightly held heart finally relaxed. "Then what is the task of our Central Army, is it that our Central Army also needs to pacify civil strife."

"Exactly, our Central Army is the main force in quelling the civil strife this time. Originally, we planned to send troops tomorrow, but since you are also back, you should also prepare tomorrow and lead the team to attack with us. ”

"The subordinate must go all out, and he will definitely not disgrace the general again. It's just that our Second Knights also suffered a lot of casualties when they held the capital of Wu'an, so shouldn't we reorganize it? Speaking of his troops, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh again.

"Well, I've thought of this for a long time. We also have a lot of reserve troops in the Central Army, and you will go to the school field in a moment and wait for them to replenish your Second Knights. Tomorrow morning, we will set off north. ”

"Yes, then the lower official will retire first." After speaking, Li Yi withdrew from General Luo Ning's study.

After returning to her residence, Alice anxiously surrounded her and told Li Yi about some amazing things she had just heard.

Li Yi had heard this in General Luo Ning's study just now, so after hearing Alice's relay, there was no longer the shock just now. After Alice finished speaking, Li Yi told Alice some inside stories that Alice hadn't heard, and Alice was obviously stunned by Li Yi's news after listening to it.

Just as the two were talking, a familiar voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Li Yi is at home, the old man is visiting." ”

From the voice outside the door, Li Yi heard that the person who spoke should be Prince Kevin, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. Hurriedly got up, Li Yi went out to greet him.

"Brother Kevin, don't come unharmed, I didn't expect Wu Anguo to say goodbye, and the two of us will have the opportunity to meet." Coming to the door, Li Yi said jokingly.

"Oh, isn't it. At that time, Brother Li insisted on keeping Wu Anguo, and I was really afraid that Brother Li would have three long and two short. It's good that Brother Li is back now, don't do that impulsive thing in the future. "Prince Kevin is still so polite, even if the empire is in internal and external troubles now, I don't see a trace of panic on his face.

The two of them talked about the old days for a while, and walked slowly towards the house.

"What is the purpose of Brother Kevin's coming this time?" Coming to the house, Li Yi asked.

"Hehe, I just heard that Brother Li Yi finally came back safely from Wu Anguo, so I came to visit."

"Brother Lao Kaiwen is worried, speaking of which, Li Yi is still a little reluctant, I failed to complete the task assigned to me by His Majesty, Li Yi really blames himself in his heart."

"Brother Li doesn't have to blame himself, this is something that cannot be avoided. No one could have imagined that the Sayan Nation would come at this time, and that they would still have such a large number of troops. The loss of the magic crystal mine is no wonder Brother Li. ”

Li Yi waved his hand and signaled that he should not talk about these things.

After a moment of silence, Prince Kevin spoke again: "Presumably Brother Li also knows about Duke Vanessa. ”

"Well, after I came back to see General Ronin, the general had already told me about this."

"Then Brother Li will also go north with the Central Army tomorrow."

"Exactly, my Second Knights are also part of the Central Army, and the Central Army is the main force in quelling civil strife this time, so of course our Knights can't lag behind."

"Well, I didn't mean anything else. I'm really just here to visit you today. Tomorrow, you have to be careful. Prince Kevin said sincerely.

"Thank you Prince Kevin for reminding me, Li Yi will pay attention."

After saying that, Prince Kevin didn't stay long, got up and walked out of Li Yi's room.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Li Yi stood in the school field of the Central Army again. Looking at the 10,000 cavalry gathered again, Li Yi adjusted his thinking and said loudly: "Among you, there are newcomers, and some have gone on the expedition with me. I don't talk nonsense, I have only one request under my command. Those who sacrifice their lives for the country will be rewarded. Those who can triumph peacefully will be rewarded. ”

After speaking, Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

"Li Yi, how do you say we will fight the next battle?" During the rapid march, Alice asked Li Yi chattering on her horse.

"I don't know, after experiencing the battle of Wu'an Guodu, I have a deep understanding of my 'talent' in war, I am not good at arranging troops, especially now I don't have a general grasp of the overall situation of the war, now I can only take one step and look at one step." Speaking of the next arrangement, Li Yi said to Alice with a headache.

"Oh." Alice nodded boredly, and then said nothing.

The purpose of Li Yi's trip was to march into Beihua Province, not far from the Yunluo Fortress in the north, which was once the fiefdom of Duke Vanessa. Now Vanessa is in rebellion, and the area has become a stronghold for the rebels.

Maybe he also knew that although he controlled 300,000 heavy troops, if he had to compete with the powerful Tianlan Empire, it was completely an egg hitting a stone. Therefore, Duke Vanessa did not blindly attack and occupy the territory after the rebellion. Instead, they safely captured several relatively solid cities around Beihua Province, and then held on to their troops, intending to distract the Empire, echoing the Say's army that was attacking the fortress of Zhongbang in the south at this time, and helping each other to contain the Empire's forces.

Although the Tianlan Empire itself has a very strong military strength, because the strength of the troops has been too dispersed, it is almost entirely up to Li Yi's Central Army to complete the important task of quelling the rebellion this time. Even the old general Luo Ning, who has been sitting in the imperial capital all the year round, returned to command this time, personally led the 300,000 troops of the Central Army, and waved his army north with lightning speed, directly attacking the Vanessa rebels.

Li Yi's Second Knights also played an important role in this offensive mission. As the arrow unit of almost the whole army, it always charged at the forefront of the large army with the other three knights of the Central Army. As long as the road encounters the enemy, the task of Li Yi and his several knights is to immediately rush and kill and strangle all the rebels who dare to betray the country.

However, Vanessa seems to be well versed in the way of obscenity, from Li Yi and his departure from the imperial capital to the imminent march into the sphere of influence of Beihua Province, the Central Army to which Li Yi and them belong has not encountered a rebel force that dares to come out to resist. After three days of rapid marching on horseback, the Central Army finally stopped this thousand-mile rush. Advancing without resistance along the way, now the Central Army is finally facing the first force of the rebels - Poyang City.

Poyang City is a medium-sized city in North China Province and has always been famous for its handicraft industry. But such a small city, which was originally unremarkable, has today become the focus of the entire empire.

"Li Yi, will we start attacking the city tomorrow?" After the march to Poyang City, all the officers and men of the Central Army were on standby, and the officers above the rank of division commander were called to General Luo Ning's tent to discuss specific siege strategies, while the others had more free time before the battle. After dinner that night, Alice looked at Poyang City, which was not far away, and asked Li Yi.

"Well, I guess the siege will start tomorrow. After all, this time, our Central Army attacked almost the whole army, and if it was delayed for one more day, it would burn the food of the empire for one more day. So I think General Ronin and they should come up with a more vigorous and resolute battle plan, and then we will be responsible for the power attack and try to put down the Vanessa rebels as soon as possible. Li Yi leaned leisurely against a big tree and said lightly.

"Yo, our head Li Yi knows how to think about problems from a military point of view." Seeing Li Yi's casual expression, Alice couldn't help but make a joke about Li Yi.

"Die, how could I not figure it out. I admit I'm a war idiot, but I'm not an idiot. Small, don't be too arrogant, isn't it too long to 'play games' with you, you feel lonely. Seeing Alice joking with herself, Li Yi was also in a good mood. Jumping up from under the tree, rubbing his hands with a wicked smile, he walked towards Alice evilly.

Seeing the evil expression on Li Yi's pretended face, Alice suddenly became angry. Moreover, Li Yi also specifically mentioned 'playing games', and Alice subconsciously wanted to reach out and cover her ass. didn't want to be taken advantage of by Li Yi again, Alice immediately raised her hand to surrender and apologized to Li Yi in defeat.

Looking at Alice's confessional expression, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Well, it's really teachable, you know, don't be too presumptuous with me in the future." I'm pretty good at making games. ”

After talking and laughing with Li Yi for a while, Alice's mood also changed a lot. Turning her head to look at Poyang City in the distance again, Alice said with a little worry: "Li Yi, after tomorrow, we will continue to attack the city like this, will such a battle be particularly dangerous, will we die?" "I remembered the situation of fighting in the capital of Wu'an, the Sayi Empire sent 100,000 troops, but so many people died when they attacked the capital of Wu'an. I don't know if when the Central Army attacks Poyang City tomorrow, it will also suffer as many casualties as that.

Seeing Alice's suddenly solemn expression, Li Yi knew that Alice finally had some shadows on the beginning of the war. After settling his mind, Li Yi smiled and said to Alice: "Don't worry, the main task of our knights is to fight on the plains, unless the central army has already fought to the point that only our knights are left, otherwise it will not be our turn to attack the city." ”

"Oh, that's right." Alice nodded mechanically, and then stopped talking.

Gently patting Alice's shoulder, Li Yi and Alice looked at Poyang City together and were silent.

When it was late at night, Li Yi suddenly received a warrant from General Luo Ning, knowing that it would definitely not be Kara who was making trouble here, Li Yi did not make any delays, and hurried to General Luo Ning's big tent.

"Xiaguan Li Yi, see General Luo Ning." As soon as he entered the big tent, Li Yi gave a military salute and spoke.

"Don't be formal, Li Yi, I recruited you late at night, I have a task to give you." General Luo Ning had disappeared from the sorrow of a few days ago at this time, and his words revealed strong confidence.

"If the general has any instructions, the subordinate must do his best, do you want to go and gather the soldiers of the Second Knights now."

"No, no, don't make a noise about this." General Luo Ning said mysteriously, and couldn't help but be silent for a while when he said this, and then slowly said again: "Li Yi, I am going to send you to a night attack tonight." ”

"Uh...... Is the general going to let Li Yi go to Poyang City alone? Hearing General Luo Ning's words, Li Yi was really taken aback. didn't react to General Luo Ning's arrangement for a while, and Li Yi said such an idiotic sentence casually.

"Stupid! Let me say what you are good about. In the face of Li Yi's idiocy, General Luo Ning couldn't help but scold. I don't want you to die quickly, how can I let you go to the sneak attack alone. ”

"Oh, I see, hehe, I was a little nervous just now." Li Yi smiled and said embarrassedly.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Today, I suddenly heard some soldiers of your Second Knights talk about what happened when you were defending the capital of Wu'an and the country, and when you were defending the city on the first night, a group of black-clothed men suddenly went to attack the city gate at night, and finally almost succeeded. I thought, if the Sayy Empire can come up with this strategy, then why can't we do it. ”

"What does the general mean is that tonight we will also dispatch dozens of martial arts experts to attack the gate of Poyang City?"

"Yes, during the day, I have selected quite a few martial arts players from various teams. A total of fifty people were selected, all of whom were good soldiers with a lot of nerves, and there were many warriors with great strength. However, to select such an excellent team, we are suffering from the lack of suitable candidates to lead it. Finally, I thought of you little monster, Li Yi, you won't be ready to be killed. ”

"Where did the general say, how dare Li Yi disobey. can be so valued by the general, Li Yi is too late to be happy. Now that the personnel have been selected, without further ado, should we act as soon as possible, lest we have too many dreams at night? Li Yi said with a little excitement that the task assigned to Li Yi by General Luo Ning this time made Li Yi very happy.

"Well, what I mean is that I will recruit you now, that is, I am going to let you hurry up and prepare, and in a quarter of an hour, you will lead those fifty good hands to set off, and the target is the south gate of Poyang City."

"If they're all ready, then we're ready to go now, I don't have anything to prepare, my weapons are always with me, it's convenient." Li Yi said in a chic manner, looking very excited to be able to go out immediately for a night attack.

"Hehe, well, you're really an impatient. Since you don't have to prepare anything, now you can lead those people out. It's just Li Yi, one thing I want to remind you is not to take this matter too seriously. Fighting on the march is different from fighting with others, and it is difficult for an individual's strength to be reflected on the battlefield. Tonight's night attack must be cautious and careful, if you see that things don't work out, immediately retreat, don't force your way. General Luo Ning said seriously, seemingly attached great importance to Li Yi's life.

Feeling General Luo Ning's concern, Li Yi nodded solemnly, then took the token, turned around and walked out of General Luo Ning's big tent.

At this time, the fifty selected martial arts masters should be on standby in front of the big tent, and after seeing Li Yi appear with a token in his hand, they all stole a look of approval from Li Yi. Li Yi didn't talk nonsense, changed into a night suit on the spot, and then led fifty people to Poyang City.

It didn't take long for Li Yi and his party to sneak to Poyang City. After taking out the Flying Claw prepared earlier from the storage ring, and after waiting patiently for a long time, Li Yi accurately controlled the strength and threw the Flying Claw towards a city head.

After the iron hook was firmly secured, Li Yi pulled the rope, and after confirming that it was secure, he did not act immediately, but waited patiently for a long time, knowing that it had been done, Li Yi whispered "go", and then took the lead and climbed along the rope to the city.
