"Commander Cheno, don't worry, after all, Pingyang Country and Huaning Country are some distance away from here, let's continue to hold on." Faced with Captain Cheno's question, Li Yi could only answer like this.

But just as Li Yi's words fell, suddenly a lookout soldier above the city tower shouted: "Report to the chief, there is a large force in the southwest direction, I don't know whether it is friend or foe." ”

When they heard this, they all stood on the tower and looked southwest. Unfortunately, the distance was too far away, and people only saw a burst of dust in the distance, and nothing else could be seen clearly.

Suddenly, the lookout shouted again: "There is a large force in the southeast again. ”

Faced with the sudden appearance of two forces of unknown origin, everyone's hearts became uneasy. Everyone hoped that these two forces would come to support, but there was a fear that they would be reinforcements from the Say. If this is the case, then the capital of Wu'an is really in danger.

Margaret shouted loudly to the lookouts, "Look carefully to see if these two troops are both flying red flags." ”

"Mrs. Lohr, what do you say?" Suddenly, hearing Margaret shout like this, Captain Cheno's asked curiously.

"Commander Cheno, don't be curious, when we sent people for help, we agreed that if Pingyang and Huaning agreed to send troops and were willing to assist us in flanking the enemy army in Say, then they would use the red flag as a sign." Without waiting for Margaret to speak, Li Yi had already explained beside Captain Cheno.

"What Commander Li said is extremely true, so whether it is an enemy or a friend, we will know in a moment." At this time, Margaret believed that the two forces that came now were here to help her, so her tone of voice became unconsciously relaxed.

It didn't take long for the lookout soldiers on the high place to shout: "There is a red flag, there is a red flag, sir, both troops are charging with red flags." And looking at the direction of their charge, it seems that they are preparing to fight the Say's army. ”

Hearing the words of the lookout, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, after being attacked by the Sayy army for two days, the breath held in his chest was about to find a chance to be released.

Margaret looked at Li Yi happily and said with a smile: "Commander Li, our reinforcements have finally arrived. Now is the time for us to go on the offensive, and are you ready to lead your troops in the lead? ”

Because of Li Yi's performance on the first day, everyone present thought that Li Yi would not hesitate to ask Ying to play. But what everyone didn't expect was that Li Yi said lightly: "Mrs. Lorre, I won't fight this first battle." ”

In the face of Li Yi's answer, although Margaret was a little surprised, she was not too reluctant to Li Yi. Faced with the killer weapon of her own tactics finally coming, Margaret now only thinks about leading her troops out and killing all these invaders in Say.

But without waiting for Margaret to arrange the personnel again, Li Yi spoke again: "Mrs. Lohr, forgive Li Yi for saying a frustrating word, I have had an ominous premonition since yesterday. I feel that the two troops that have arrived suddenly are suspicious, and I think we should wait and see what happens. ”

"Huh?" Margaret, who was already immersed in joy, suddenly heard Li Yi say this, and couldn't help but sink her face. "What does General Li mean by this, everything is developing in the direction of our army at the moment, do you want us to let go of this great opportunity? If we miss this opportunity and blindly defend it, our Wu'an country will eventually end up destroying the country. If there is anything suspicious about these two forces, you might as well speak up and hear about it. ”

Li Yi looked at Margaret's already gloomy face, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he couldn't just tell people that he was just making a judgment based on his feelings. Knowing that Margaret would not let go of this opportunity no matter what, Li Yi chose to keep silent.

Margaret didn't say anything to Li Yi again, but turned her head to Captain Chenor and said, "Commander Cheno, I don't know if your ministry can help our country attack this time, our country really doesn't have many troops left, and even if it attacks, it will be difficult to cause too much impact." ”

This Captain Chenoult has been coveting Margaret since he first came to the capital of Wu'an last night, and now in the face of Margaret's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but wave his hand and said proudly: "Mrs. Lohr, don't worry, since all the ladies have been arranged, then our troops will all be arranged by the lady." ”

Seeing that Captain Cheno's mind was obviously obsessed, Li Yi could only shake his head secretly. After Margaret and the others walked down the tower, Li Yi suddenly turned to Alice and said, "Alice, you go and gather the officers and soldiers of the Second Knights who are on standby in the school grounds, and let them all be armed and wait for my orders." And let each of them bring an extra horse, which will be used for the brothers who have been replaced from the city wall. ”

Hearing Li Yi's order, Alice couldn't help but be curious, and said, "Li Yi, is it really that bad?" Everything is fine now, why are you so pessimistic. ”

"Alice, trust me this time. I'm no weaker than yours in my competitive spirit, but this time, I really don't feel safe. So many brothers died the other day, I can't watch them die anymore. Li Yi watched the situation under the city motionlessly, and said calmly to Alice.

Alice is also accustomed to obeying Li Yi's orders, although she is still a little puzzled by Li Yi's decision, she still obediently runs towards the school field, preparing to gather troops.

It didn't take long for Li Yi to see Commander Chenno and Commander Garrick leading their respective troops and rushing out of the city gate.

Li Yi looked at them and said indifferently: "You can ask for more blessings for yourselves." ”

Li Yi was still standing on top of the city tower, watching coldly as Commander Chenno led the brigade of men and horses to rush towards the camp of the Sayy army.

At this time, Margaret returned to the city tower again and stood beside Li Yi with a smile.

"Commander Li, don't you think this will be a Jedi counterattack that will go down in history." Margaret said with a smile, with a smug look that could not be concealed between her words.

Li Yi just nodded politely, but didn't say anything.

Margaret really wondered why Li Yi suddenly behaved like this, Li Yi had been trying his best to help Wu Anguo defend the city, but now he suddenly showed such a pessimistic appearance, so that Margaret didn't know what Li Yi was thinking in his heart.

"General Li, can you tell me why you are like this now." Margaret finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked Li Yi seriously.

Li Yi finally stopped staring at the battlefield under the city, but turned his head, looked at Margaret seriously and said, "Mrs. Lohr, I, Li Yi, have never denied that I am a war idiot. But I don't know if you believe it or not, my hunch has always been very accurate. For some reason, since last night, I have had a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart. I can't explain why, but I trust my instincts, so I don't want to go on an adventure with you this time. ”

Although Li Yi said it extremely seriously, it did not shake Margaret's confidence at this time. Margaret didn't believe that Li Yi's bullshit intuition would be so evil at all, she only thought that this time there was the help of the imperial army inside, the friendly forces of neighboring countries outside, and the two days of tragic siege experienced by the Sayi army, and their chances of victory in Wu'an Kingdom were definitely more than seventy percent.

Ignoring Li Yi no more, Margaret looked nervously down the city, wanting to see the Sayy army defeated with her own eyes.

But unexpectedly, Li Yi, who has always cherished words like gold today, spoke again: "Mrs. Lohr, I suddenly thought of something. Have you ever thought that the armies of Pingyang and Huaning, who came today, are really here to help us? ”

Hearing Li Yi suddenly say this, Margaret's original smile suddenly froze at the corner of her mouth. She has always thought with common sense, thinking that if Pingyang Kingdom and Huaning Kingdom do not come to aid this time, they will inevitably be punished by Tianlan Kingdom in the future. However, she forgot that if the two countries had already taken refuge in the Sayy Empire, then this speculation would be completely untenable.

But after thinking about it, Pingyang Kingdom and Huaning Kingdom may not be like this, Margaret did not answer Li Yi, but while comforting herself, she looked at the battle situation under the city. But this time, Margaret's mood was really a little uneasy.

At this time, the troops of Commander Cheno's army had already rushed to the front of Say's army, and the enemy troops who were besieging the city saw that the defenders were attacking, and there were quite a few of them, and they all reversed the direction of the attack at the same time, and surrounded the troops of Commander Cherno.

According to the tactics formulated by Margaret and Li Yi before, when the troops are attacking now, reinforcements from the other two countries are needed to assist from both sides. Only in this way can the offensive of the Sayy army be completely broken by relying on the siege on three sides.

However, the current situation is that when Commander Cheno's regiment rushed into the heavy encirclement of the Sayy army, although the reinforcements of the other two countries also charged the Sayy army's army according to the plan, but when they rushed into the camp of the Sayy army, they did not launch an offensive against the Sayy army as Margaret expected, but successfully inserted into the ranks of the Sayy Empire, and the Sayy army did not launch an offensive against them.

Seeing such a situation, Margaret couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and after being stunned for a while, she turned her eyes to Li Yi for help, as if waiting for Li Yi to say something.

Li Yi could only smile bitterly, but he didn't expect his ominous premonition to come true, although he didn't want to see this situation either.

Seeing that Li Yi never spoke, Margaret finally couldn't calm down, and said anxiously to Li Yi: "General Li, could it be that Pingyang Kingdom and Huaning Kingdom have really taken refuge in the Sayi Empire?" ”

Li Yi calmly touched his nose and said to Margaret: "Based on this situation, there is no other reason to explain it except for the situation you said. ”

"Then what should we do, Commander Chenno just took away most of the new forces in the city, if we just watch their entire army annihilated, then our Wu Anguo will soon be lost." Margaret's voice trembled unconsciously as she spoke.

"Mrs. Lohr, I have already spoken before about the dangers of doing so. It's just that at that time I couldn't come up with absolute evidence to prove my guess, so now I don't bother to say anything cool. Although I am not a master of war, from my ordinary eyes, Captain Cheno's leaders are already irretrievable. Unless the gods descend down now, or if we suddenly have an army of 100,000. Otherwise, all we can do now is watch them perish. Li Yi said coldly, without the slightest sadness about the impending demise that Captain Cheno.

"So, what is General Li going to do next?" Margaret knew that Li Yi had completely lost the mind of rescue, so she could only ask Li Yi about his next plans.

"Mrs. Lohr, I, Li Yi, am not a saint, forgive me for telling the truth. Wu Anguo is your motherland, but not mine. And the troops I lead are the most elite troops in my Tianlan Empire. They fought with me, so I will not lead them into an impossible war. Li Yi glanced down at the city and found that Captain Cheno's troops were now just fighting the trapped beasts.

"I've made an impulsive choice before, and I've lost thousands of the Empire's elite soldiers because of it. Now that I've come to my senses, I can't let them ruin their good names because of my mistakes. Mrs. Lohr, it is no longer possible to keep Wu Anguo, taking advantage of the time that Captain Cheno's team has won outside the city, you go and arrange for the royal family to get ready, and I will lead the troops to protect them from the West Gate in a while, and I will do my best to ensure their safety. After speaking, Li Yi no longer paid attention to the battlefield, but turned around and walked towards the city.

"General Li, are you going to abandon us?" After Margaret heard Li Yi's words, she asked coldly.

"Well, yes." Li Yi didn't defend himself at all, he also said coldly, and walked down the city tower without looking back. In Li Yi's heart, only those he agrees with will do his best to protect them. As for the others, whether they are dead or alive, they have nothing to do with themselves.

Hurried to the school grounds, he found Alice and the other officers and soldiers of the Second Knights ready to go. Li Yi walked forward with satisfaction and said loudly: "This city has no point in defending, now I order, all the soldiers of the Second Knights of the Central Army will set off with me, and we will abandon the city." ”

When everyone heard Li Yi's words, they couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, the captain who had reported the military situation to Li Yi stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Commander, did we really abandon the city?" In this case, will you not be punished by the Empire? ”

"The war is decided, and we have no power to return to the sky. Now, if you still resist stubbornly, you will just send you to death in vain. If I could win, I would never lead you to desertion. But now the odds are gone, so I can't let any of you go out and die. We've lost too many brothers, and I don't want you to die on the battlefield as sweet. ”

Although Li Yi's words sounded extremely awkward, the soldiers present sounded very intimate. After all, this regiment commander sincerely thinks about the soldiers and cares about the lives of every soldier around him.

Li Yi rode his war horse and waited for a long, long time on the school field, until he faintly heard that the Sayi army had broken the city, and did not see any members of the royal family of Wu'an Kingdom coming to take refuge.

Although he couldn't figure out why this was the case, Li Yi felt that he had done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and if he waited any longer, he would inevitably be surrounded by enemy troops.

Decisively ordered to set off, Li Yi took the lead, and hurriedly rushed to the north gate with the remaining thousands of cavalry.

After leaving the city, Alice rode on her horse and asked Li Yi, "Li Yi, where do we go next?" ”

"Go home." Li Yi said in a low voice, and then hurried away with the troops without saying a word. His goal is clear, to quickly rush back to the Zhongbang fortress in the south of the empire. Only there can their own troops be truly safe.
