Li Yi listened carefully on the side, and then nodded in agreement. Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, it seems that my thoughts just now are indeed a bit out of bounds.

"Fortunately, the messenger who asked for help was sent out just one step in advance, otherwise, I would have been able to watch the other party besiege now, and there would be no hope." Speaking of the messenger for help, there was a glimmer of hope in the hearts of those present.

Margaret said calmly: "Reinforcements must be the key to our victory, but what we have to do now is to wait for reinforcements to arrive." Don't be breached before then, in that case, reinforcements will be pointless. ”

Li Yi looked around, looked at the soldiers in the distance and beside him, and suddenly felt the heaviness of his courage. In the past, although he was considered a murderer, he was a loner after all. But now looking at these soldiers around me, they are all left here because of their stubbornness, and when the war is together, human lives will inevitably be harvested like mustard. Thinking of this, Li Yi suddenly didn't know whether his original choice was right or wrong.

"The way of killing is about to begin here." No longer looking at the soldiers around him, Li Yi lowered his head and muttered.

"What?" Alice was beside Li Yi, and when she heard Li Yi's whisper, she couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, nothing." Li Yi didn't want to share his burden with Alice, so he said perfunctorily. Then Li Yi asked Margaret, "Lady Lore, when do you think they will attack?" ”

"I guess it won't be today, it's not early now, and they are also a day's rapid march, if I were the commander, I would definitely not choose to attack at such a time." Margaret asserted.

As soon as Margaret finished speaking, Li Yi saw a cavalryman galloping out of the enemy camp. The other party seemed to be undaunted, and hurried towards the city, and in an instant they were within range of the archers of the defending army.

Li Yi looked at Margaret and found that she didn't give the order to attack, so he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Mrs. Lohr, what is the intention of the people from the city?" ”

"It must be to persuade the troops to surrender, and when they arrive at the city in a while, they will inevitably say something like 'our army is mighty, and you will open the city gate and surrender quickly'."

As if to confirm the accuracy of Margaret's inference, before her words fell, Li Yi heard the cavalry shouting loudly under the city: "Today, my Sayi Empire sent an army of 100,000 to go on an expedition, and if you open the city gate quickly, my king will be merciful, and I may not die." If you resist, then don't blame me for waiting for the city to be breached. ”

Seeing that the cavalry under the city really had a high-spirited posture, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh that Margaret's prediction was accurate. "Mrs. Lohr, how did you know he would say that?" Li Yi asked curiously.

In the face of Li Yi, a war idiot, Margaret was almost speechless. But because of Li Yi's identity, she didn't have a good seizure, so she had to patiently continue to explain to Li Yi: "General Li, when a big country conquers a small country, it will inevitably make such a gesture first when there is an absolute superiority in military strength. Surrendering without a fight is the highest level of war. In fact, they also know that we will not be surrendered, and they give this statement just to defeat the momentum of our army. Margaret said patiently, but her tone couldn't help but show a little impatience.

Li Yi smiled bitterly in embarrassment, but he was not angry at Margaret's attitude, after all, his question might really be a bit idiotic.

Knowing that Li Yi definitely didn't know what to do, Margaret had no choice but to take a step forward for Li Yi again, and said loudly towards the city: "If you want to fight, you will fight, and don't talk nonsense." If you don't die today, go back and tell your boss that we are waiting for you to attack. ”

The cavalry under the city was also very interesting, knowing that their mission had been accomplished, and they did not stop any longer, jumped their horses' heads and galloped towards the barracks.

Alice stood behind Margaret, listening to her imposing speech just now, and couldn't help but whisper beside Li Yi: "Mrs. Lohr is so handsome, I will be that kind of woman in the future." ”

Li Yi glanced at her when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Little naughty, do you think that kind of woman is so easy to be." After speaking, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Margaret really gave birth to a woman by mistake." ”

Of course, Margaret didn't know what the two behind her thought of herself, so she coldly dismissed the enemy's persuasion soldiers, turned around and walked back to Li Yi and said, "General Li, although we don't know who the other party's commander is, we must be fully prepared." Don't be careless about defending the city. I suspect they'll make a night attack tonight, and the fortifications won't be weakened at night. ”

Hearing Margaret say this, Li Yi knew that the other party would definitely not be untargeted. Just now he has been underestimated by the other party because of some superficial problems, and now Li Yi has finally found a time when he can play a role. He immediately volunteered: "What Madame Lore said is very true, now that the situation of friend and foe has been decided, there is no need for Madame Lore to share the risk with us on the city wall. The defense at night is handed over to Li Yi. ”

"In this case, there will be more generals. Remember, don't be careless. With that, Margaret turned and walked down the city.

Li Yi turned his head to look at Alice on the side, and asked aloud, "Then are you also going to defend the city with me tonight?" ”

Alice's head clicked and clicked like a chicken pecking rice.

Li Yi knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless, so he simply let Alice's nonsense come. Besides, Li Yi is confident and always stays by Alice's side, she will not be in any danger.

After the defenders had eaten a humble dinner on the walls, night finally covered the land.

Until late at night, Li Yi felt that the enemy troops on the opposite side still didn't move, and his heart finally let go of a little. Seeing that Alice had fallen asleep in the corner of the wall at some point, Li Yi couldn't help but smile warmly, took off the inner armor on her body and covered her. Li Yi has never been in the habit of wearing armor, even at such a dangerous moment, he is only wearing inner armor. Now that I have taken off all the inner armor, I am left with a cloth coat. The surrounding soldiers couldn't help but show admiration when they saw that their commander dared to behave like this. Of course, some people think that Li Yi is pretending to be 13.

"Alas, could it be that Margaret's speculation was wrong? There will be no night raid tonight? That's a pity. After inspecting for another week and finding no abnormalities, Li Yi unexpectedly let out such a shocking emotion.

But as we all know, our protagonist is the powerful crow's beak. Just as his words landed, Li Yi heard a noisy sound in the distance. After carefully distinguishing the direction, Li Yi determined that the sound came from the West City Gate.

The surrounding soldiers also heard the noise in the distance, but because they were also responsible for defending, they could only look at Li Yi anxiously.

Alice was also woken up by the noise, and looked at Li Yi with sleepy eyes, hoping that Li Yi would give her an explanation.

Li Yi first ordered the soldiers to continue to hold on to the city and not to be distracted from the affairs over there. Then after telling Alice to pay attention to safety, he took out the holy sword Roland and ran towards the west city gate.

With Li Yi's foot strength, it didn't take long to feel there. When Li Yi saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.

I thought it was just a small riot here, but I didn't expect that after arriving here, Li Yi found that things were worse than he imagined. At this time, the city was already in chaos, and after a careful observation, Li Yi found that at least fifty black-clothed people were slashing and killing the soldiers defending the city with white blades on the city wall at this time. From the body style, Li Yi can see that these black-clothed people are not weak in kung fu. It often took three or five defenders to attack together to withstand the attack of a black man.

And the most terrifying thing is that Li Yi found that these black-clothed people did not simply go to the city to slaughter, but several black-clothed people had already jumped into the inner city and rushed towards the city gate after getting rid of the entanglement.

"Take the gates?" This idea popped up in Li Yi's heart.

didn't have to think about it, Li Yi didn't care about saving those soldiers who were fighting to the death in the city first, but also jumped into the city along the city wall and ran towards the city gate.

Although the people in black are not weak in kung fu, in Li Yi's opinion, they are nothing more than that. In an instant, Li Yi caught up with the man in black who was about to reach the city gate. Without saying a word, Li Yi raised his sword and slashed at them. These black-clothed men obviously didn't expect a good person like Li Yi to suddenly appear, and after hurriedly resisting a few moves, they were reaped by Li Yi.

Seeing that the crisis at the city gate had been resolved, Li Yi didn't stop long, and hurried to the city wall to clean up the black-clothed man on the city wall.

When he wanted to rush to the city wall, Li Yi also killed two black-clothed men who were killed again. Although their strength could not be compared with Li Yi, after killing a few people, Li Yi deeply felt the horror of this night attack force.

A person's strength will not be reflected much in war. But if a unit has extremely strong combat effectiveness, then this force is really terrifying. When he was hurrying, Li Yi also secretly thought about it, if these dozens of black-clothed men were not facing many officers and soldiers defending the city, but besieging themselves, then would they still have a chance to win, or how long they could hold out.

Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and when he raised his sword and walked quickly, he secretly thought to himself: "Li Yi, this is war, you must not be as impulsive as before." ”

When Li Yi returned to the city wall again, he saw dozens of black-clothed men still bravely and abnormally torture and kill the soldiers defending the city. However, the soldiers defending the city also seemed to be aware of the intentions of this group of men in black, and although they were never able to retreat from the enemy, they still succeeded in holding the route that the men in black wanted to go down the city wall.

Li Yi didn't delay any longer, and joined the battle circle with the holy sword Roland. With the help of the soldiers defending the city, plus Li Yi himself is brave. After more than a dozen rounds, more than a dozen men in black fell on the castle tower. Relying on his elusive swordsmanship, Li Yi almost killed him with a move, and he was like a life-killing messenger in this battle circle.

The people in black also discovered Li Yi's bravery, and they all wanted to bypass Li Yi's pursuit when they were fighting. But Li Yi didn't give them a chance, and still took the knife in his hand, ruthlessly harvesting human lives.

In the blink of an eye, there were no more than twenty black-clothed people who could still resist stubbornly on the city tower. The other party also seemed to see that Li Yi was there, and this surprise attack would definitely not achieve any effect, so they retreated one after another and ran towards the corner of the city tower. After rushing to the corner, they jumped down one after another, as if they were not going to die.

However, Li Yi knew that they would definitely not seek death like this, so he hurried to the corner of the wall and found that there were several iron hooks hanging on the eaves of the wall here, and behind the iron hooks was a long rope. Li Yi expected that the group of black-clothed men must have used this rope to climb the high city wall at that time.

Not wanting to watch the other party retreat like this, Li Yi cut the rope in an instant. A few black-clothed men who were left behind suddenly lost the strength in their hands and fell under the city wall. Although he did not fall to his death, it is estimated that he was seriously injured. Li Yi ordered the archers to shoot at the city, and after a few rains of arrows, only a handful of black-clothed people could escape.

In fact, it didn't take long from Li Yi rushing to the West City Gate to support and successfully repelling the enemy army. Fortunately, the enemy army is only preparing to attack a city gate, otherwise Li Yi would really be lacking in skills.

Just as he was about to return to the South City Gate, Li Yi saw Margaret hurrying to this side.

"General Li, what's going on?" As soon as she arrived at Li Yi's side, Margaret asked anxiously.

"Madame Lore had guessed correctly, the enemy had just launched a night attack. Strangely, though, they only dispatched a small number of people. But the intention is obvious, that is, to seize my city gate through a surprise attack. Fortunately, the defenders of the city fought bravely to kill the enemy, and this night attack was successfully defended. Li Yi said succinctly.

"This time I relied on General Li to help, I just heard a report that the enemy troops in this night attack are not weak, if there is no strong man like General Li, it must not be a simple matter to retreat from the enemy." Margaret said complimentally.

Li Yi never took other people's compliments to heart. Without showing the slightest smug look, Li Yi looked at the corpses beside him and said lonely: "Bury all these people, they all sacrificed their lives for the country." ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Margaret also swept away the happy mood just now, and said with great heaviness: "There is no way, where there is war, there will be dead people, but the people will remember these heroes, and I will order them to be buried." ”

Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, then stopped greeting and turned around and walked towards the south city gate.

Alice originally wanted to rush to help Li Yi, but she was afraid that she would cause chaos after she went, so she kept wearing Li Yi's inner armor to look out at the city. When she saw Li Yi's safe return, Alice's little face couldn't help but smile.

"Li Yi, how is it, are you injured, have the enemy been repulsed?" As soon as Li Yi walked up to the city tower, Alice asked eagerly.

Looking at the beautiful woman with an anxious look on her face, Li Yi's heavy mood just now suddenly decreased a lot. "No problem, the enemy has retreated, how can I be injured on such a small occasion."

"Cut, stinky fart, I knew I was over too, isn't killing someone particularly enjoyable?" Seeing that Li Yi was safe and sound, Alice suddenly came to her senses.

"Less, how can killing people be a pleasure. You are a violent maniac, if you become a queen, then there will be no peace in the whole world. ”

"Ah, Queen, Li Yi, your idea is really amazing, when will I become the queen?" Unexpectedly, Li Yi just said it casually, which aroused Alice's emotion. Seeing Alice dreaming with a glint in her eyes on the side, Li Yi could only give her a headache.

Alice covered her forehead aggrievedly, not knowing what she was doing wrong.

"After dawn, the real decisive battle will be, and we have to be careful. Alice, don't be careless, I can't guarantee that I'll be there for you at all times. Li Yi looked at the pitch-black sky on the opposite side and said slowly to Alice.
