Lieutenant General Luo Ning may never have imagined that the reason why he was forced into such a desperate situation today is that his teacher can be said to have contributed to it.

Although Hans left the Tianlan Empire decades ago, he has been fighting in the Mountains of the Dead ever since. But just as Li Yi was about to return to the Shengyuan Road, Hans suddenly inexplicably taught Li Yi a very clever strategy.

And after that, it was because of the very thorough implementation of his old man's plan that the Yanlong Legion would completely break out after forbearance for a long time, and then turn defeat into victory and occupy the dominant position on the battlefield.

Although Hans was only waiting for Li Yi's small suggestion at that time, everything after that, as well as the disadvantages and advantages, were all exchanged for Bettina, Elena and Li Yi through unremitting efforts.

But without Hans's correct approach, the Flame Dragon Legion might not have achieved the advantage it has now.

In fact, Hans is also a member of the Tianlan Empire, and when he was young, he also made great contributions to the Tianlan Empire. If it weren't for his single-minded cultivation, his current status in the Tianlan Empire would be much higher than that of Lieutenant General Luo Ning. Because this old man is not only outstandingly resourceful, but also an extremely strong warrior.

When it comes to combat power, Hans is much stronger than the old king of the Tianlan Empire. But back then, it was because he saw that the old king of the Tianlan Empire was narrow-minded, and after feeling that Hans would not completely shed his blood for the Tianlan Empire, the old king of the Tianlan Empire also began to secretly reduce Hans's power in the Tianlan Empire.

After seeing this situation, Hans was also disheartened at that time. As a courtier of the empire, the most painful thing is to be suspicious of the king of a country.

At that time, Luo Ning also graduated from Lily of the Valley College and worked in the army for a long time. Hans had already cultivated Luo Ning as his successor, and after seeing the suspicion of the old king of the Tianlan Empire, Hans simply shook his hand and took the initiative to ask the Tianlan Empire to resign, leaving the huge political stage of the Tianlan Empire under the pretext of being old.

At that time, the old king of the Tianlan Empire had already been carried away by suspicion, and after seeing Hans's request to resign, he agreed to his request without even thinking about it.

After that, Hans was completely in the sight of the people. And when Hans left the Tianlan Empire, a number of very shining new stars began to emerge in the army of the Tianlan Empire. Among them, Luo Ning is the most dazzling one, so many years have passed. At that time, Luo Ning finally became the supreme commander of the army of the Tianlan Empire.

But it's ridiculous to think about it, the kings of the Tianlan Empire seem to have a hereditary problem of suspicion, Lieutenant General Luo Ning has fought for the Tianlan Empire all his life, until now he is only a lieutenant general, and when he presided over such a big war against the southern border of Say, the emperors of the Tianlan Empire still can't restrain their suspicions, and never understand the difficulties of Lieutenant General Luo Ning, but they have always put pressure on Lieutenant General Luo Ning.

Now, Lieutenant General Luo Ning, under the pressure of Emperor Kevin, has finally fought this war that could have had an absolute advantage to the point where it is now.

If Lieutenant General Luo Ning saw that he had fallen for the Yanlong Army's plan, at that time it would be a practice of retreating into advance.

Because at that time, the Yanlong Legion retreated, and there was only one territory left in the province of China and Pakistan. And it is said to be a Zhongba province, but in fact, Xicheng itself is not a fortress, he is just a strong city. When the Yanlong Legion mobilized all its troops to defend Xicheng, it could only protect Xicheng from being captured, and other cities would not have such good luck.

After all, with just one stream city, it can't resist the army of the Tianlan Empire at all. Therefore, as long as the Tianlan Empire could take a good rest in the Ram Fortress at that time, and then take advantage of this opportunity for Luo Ning to dispatch troops to go back and clean up Li Yi's troops, the Tianlan Empire would not have fallen into the field it is now.

But now it's too late to talk about this, the Tianlan Empire has been defeated, and the attack on Xicheng not only did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but instead lost the troops, and the front-line troops of the Tianlan Empire, which had already suffered serious losses, are now even worse.

After retreating to Ram Fortress, Luo Ning actually had to think about whether to leave a part of his troops in Ram Fortress to block the pursuit of the Yanlong Legion.

The current battle situation is different from the previous day, no matter which Tianlan Empire's troops stay in Ram Fortress this time, then they will definitely have no hope of returning home. Because Luo Ning guessed that the remaining strength of the Yanlong Legion in Xicheng was at least about 150,000.

Even if the Yanlong Legion didn't go out of the nest, then the Yanlong Legion would have to send 100,000 troops to pursue its own defeated army. Therefore, if you want to keep people to defend the Ram fortress, then at least about 50,000 soldiers and horses must be left. Otherwise, the Ram fortress would have been conquered extremely quickly. When the Yanlong Legion withdrew from Ram Fortress, it did not leave the slightest defensive equipment and tools for the Tianlan Empire in the city, and if the Tianlan Empire wanted to defend Ram Fortress, it could only rely on soldiers to defend it with weapons.

And if that's the case, even if you're on the defensive end, the advantage isn't very obvious. After all, after too many bloody battles, the number of bows and arrows in the troops of the Tianlan Empire was already very rare. And these few remaining bows and arrows still need to be reserved for the retreating troops to use in the assault.

Therefore, if you want to send people to stay behind in Ram Fortress this time, it is equivalent to telling them very directly that the empire needs your sacrifice, and you must fight here to the end, even if there is only one soldier left, you must stop the footsteps of the Yanlong Legion pursuing troops as much as possible.

When faced with this situation, Lieutenant General Luo Ning couldn't help but think of a person's face in his mind.

This is Li Yi, Lieutenant General Luo Ning still remembers that the first time in his life he let his troops carry out this kind of death order, he sent Li Yi's troops. It was because of that battle that Lieutenant General Luo Ning personally sent the young man he admired very much to a battlefield where there seemed to be no possibility of survival at all.

But it was Li Yi's free and easy character, and when he finally overcame, he completely broke with himself. Originally, Lieutenant General Luo Ning wanted to train Li Yi to be his successor, but after that incident, Lieutenant General Luo Ning could only dispel this idea.

After being undecided for a long time, Commander Kane, who had been silent beside Lieutenant General Luo Ning, suddenly spoke: "Luo Ning, you can also see that this time our Tianlan Empire's conquest army is already bound to be defeated, and now it depends on how far we will be defeated." If you're still indecisive, then we're in good risk of losing the game. I can also see that you have made up your mind to withdraw the troops this time, that is, you will accept punishment after you admit it and return to China. Although I, Kane, spared my life, but when it comes to this time, I will definitely not dodge anymore. Since you don't want to be this wicked person, then I will be the wicked person. We are already sinners in the Tianlan Empire, so what does it matter if we have a few more culprits. Let my men stay at the Ram fortress this time, they have been under my intentional protection since the beginning of the war, and have not fought a few hard battles. Now it seems that only my troops can hinder the footsteps of the Yanlong Legion to the greatest extent. ”

Hearing Captain Kane's words, Luo Ning finally stopped thinking about gains and losses. Instead, he looked at Kane with a very strange look, and finally Lieutenant General Luo Ning slowly said: "Alas, Kane, maybe you are right. In fact, from the very beginning, I should have learned your golden mean. If it weren't for the fact that I have always been greedy and aggressive, our troops would never have come to this point today. Although the Tianlan Empire is good, the emperors of successive generations are suspicious, if they continue like this, who else dares to sincerely work for the empire. I won't fight with you anymore, and according to the current situation, only letting your people stay here can make the biggest difference. If you have the chance, you'd better retreat with your men and join our large army. ”

"Hehe, what do you want to do so far, everyone can see it, staying in Ram Fortress is simply a battle of life and death. That's why they dodge as much as they can. At the time of Armageddon, there were no bad seeds among us, because everyone knew that if we didn't fight, we would die, and maybe after the big war, we would still be able to survive. But now everyone wants to escape from here and return to China to save their lives. Therefore, no one is willing to stay here, after all, we are all human beings, and we cannot be noble enough to make everyone have such a high level of consciousness and let them understand what it means to achieve the greatest victory with the least sacrifice. We lost this expedition, although you are the coach and have an unshirkable responsibility, but how can I, the deputy coach, survive. Sooner or later, I will die, and I would rather die here than to go back to the empire and let those people scold me to death. For a soldier, dying on the battlefield is also the most glorious thing. Maybe if I die, the Tianlan Empire will no longer embarrass my descendants. "At this moment, Captain Kane's face has long since the beginning of the war. Now, the expression on his face is full of determination. It seems that he also knows that he will die this time, so he wants to talk to his old friend one last time before he dies.

Hearing the words of Commander Kane, Rao is a person with a resolute personality like Lieutenant General Luo Ning, and his eyes can't help but start to red at this time. Ever since learning of Captain Kane's distress, Ronin had never blamed Kane for his passivity.

But now, at the critical juncture of retreat, Kane not only stepped forward, but also said such impassionedly. The two twilight heroes have now fallen into such a field, think about it carefully, the culprit is the emperor of the Tianlan Empire. This situation, how can it not make people sad.

It's just that at this point, Luo Ning doesn't want to pretend to say anything about retention. If Kane stays at Ram Fortress, it will be a battle to the death. And after returning to China, he will also die, and even because of the unfavorable battle, he escaped from the battle, and whether Luo Ning, as the coach, can get a good death after his death is a question.

So seeing that his old friend only wanted to die, Luo Ning was sad at the same time, he was also very relieved to pat Kane's shoulder, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Old friend, you go before me, and I will arrive later." It's not that my brother spares his life, but that these children under us are innocent, and there is no need for them to be buried here because of the emperor's suspicion of us. You can rest assured, as long as I still have a breath left, I will definitely bring as many of these soldiers of the Tianlan Empire back to the Tianlan Empire as possible. And when that happens, I'll kill myself right away. Hehe, think about it, if you are impeached by the ministers and die, it is really enough. I, Luo Ning, asked myself if I was worthy of my current identity, it was already the biggest regret that I couldn't die on the battlefield, how could I die on the guillotine of the empire in the end. ”

After Luo Ning finished speaking, Captain Kane also smiled knowingly. The two generals of the Tianlan Empire, who were extremely prestigious, in the temporary battle hall of the Ram Fortress, unexpectedly thought about their fate.

After the discussion, Lieutenant General Luo Ning immediately gathered his men and began to gallop out of the north gate of the Ram fortress. As the deputy commander of the legion, Legion Commander Kane had a smile on his face, leading his men to the top of the Ram Fortress, facing the cold wind of hunting, waiting for the pursuers that the Yanlong Legion might come later.

After Lieutenant General Luo Ning left the Ram Fortress with his men and horses, he collected the troops of the Tianlan Empire stationed in the city all the way, and finally when he arrived in Jingchuan Province, he even asked him to regather 300,000 troops. It's just that most of the current troops are just infantry. The number of cavalry is very scarce, which is destined to determine that even if Lieutenant General Luo Ning has a large number of men and horses, compared with Li Yi's troops, the combat effectiveness will not be much higher.

It's just that since they have withdrawn to Jingchuan Province, the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire also know that the journey back to China is not very far. Therefore, under the leadership of Luo Ning, the troops of the Tianlan Empire, which had rushed to the army, also showed a very amazing momentum, and they were indomitable to move towards the Tianlan Empire.

Luo Ning now thinks very clearly, as long as the troops of the Yanlong Legion, who have been making trouble in Jingchuan Province, can understand the current affairs and do not look for trouble, then Lieutenant General Luo Ning will no longer be so radical as to take the initiative to send troops to find trouble for them.

Because after Lieutenant General Luo Ning incorporated the forces of the Tianlan Empire stationed in Jingchuan Province, he also learned a news, that is, the troops of the Yanlong Legion that had been making chaos in Jingchuan Province and Ning'an Province, although the number of troops was only a hundred thousand, there were tens of thousands of cavalry.

And now in the troops of the Tianlan Empire, the number of cavalry can basically be regarded as none. fled in a hurry, and the cavalry, which was already scarce, is now even more rare. Even after the number of people on the road began to increase slowly in the later period, and the supply of grain and grass began to be insufficient, Lieutenant General Luo Ning could only order the slaughter of war horses and the soldiers to satisfy their hunger.

In this way, in fact, the troops of the Tianlan Empire are basically all infantry. The phalanx of 300,000 infantry, although it looked impressive. However, if it really confronted the cavalry troops, it would be too whimsical to try to compete with the cavalry troops with the flesh and blood of the soldiers when they had not dug a hole in the horses and put on the giant antlers.

Therefore, after the army marched to Jingchuan Province, Luo Ning also began to ask the troops to speed up the march. At this time, Lieutenant General Luo Ning could only hope that the officers of the Yanlong Legion, who led the troops on the side of Jingchuan Province, did not have such a big stomach and talent. If he really wanted to use tens of thousands of cavalry to attack his all-infantry unit, they might really be able to inflict a lot of trauma on this remnant army by taking advantage of the characteristics of coming and going like the wind.

Luo Ning began to order a rapid march, the purpose was just to get out of Jingchuan Province as soon as possible, because from the news he received, the current troops of the Yanlong Legion were basically causing chaos here in Jingchuan Province. Although they had a large number of cavalry, they also had a large number of infantry. In order to take care of the infantry, the mobility of their troops is also not able to exert maximum effect.
