Elena was already extremely pretty, and she was already in her thirties, but now she still looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen. So seeing her sister showing this rare little girl posture, Bettina's tense face couldn't help but loosen, and then she reached out and pinched Elena's nose before slowly speaking: "Okay, I'm not angry with you." Hurry up and tell me what kind of news can make our female military division so confident. ”
Seeing that she had finally coaxed her angry sister, Elena breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, do you know that this time the Tianlan Empire is recruiting our Yanlong Legion, in fact, it is completely a swollen face and a fat man. Although they have an army of one million, but because of the continuous wars in the Tianlan Empire over the years, and the corruption of domestic officials, and most of the nobles have violated the law and discipline, the economy of the Tianlan Empire is not very optimistic now. Because of this, when the Tianlan Empire conquered us this time, there was a huge problem with their supply itself. Didn't we choose to back down at the beginning, just to make their battle line longer, and then put a huge burden on their supply. After they took the bait, the supply problem became bigger and bigger. Do you know, a few days ago, the spies came to report that among the front-line troops of the Tianlan Empire now, their food and grass are only enough for them to use for more than ten days. ”
Hearing this, Bettina couldn't help but smile on her face. This is really the best news for the Yanlong Legion.
Although Bettina is not very good at tactics or anything, she still knows this, that is, once the war starts, the most feared thing in the army is the problem of food and grass. The soldier can't even fill his stomach, so why fight bravely.
After seeing the smile on her sister's face, Elena continued to smile and said: "Originally, Luo Ning's old thief was going to withdraw his troops after capturing Ram Fortress, because the troops of the Tianlan Empire are really too tired now, and now coupled with the problem that food and grass may be interrupted at any time, Luo Ning can only hope to suspend the war, and then come to us again when he is relieved." However, General Li Yi suddenly miraculously appeared in their rear, because of General Li Yi's destruction, the Tianlan Empire's already difficult supply problem has now become even more difficult. In this way, the frontline troops of the Tianlan Empire can only have one choice now, and that is to forcibly attack Xicheng. If they can attack it, all their problems will be solved. Our Creek City is a well-known granary, and once this place is conquered, then their food and grass problem will no longer be a problem. And if our side can't contain them, then General Li Yi and them won't be a problem at all. ”
"That's why you can say with such certainty that the Tianlan Empire will definitely come to attack our Xicheng, even if it's an adventure." Looking at Elena with a smile, Bettina asked in a relaxed tone.
"That's right, originally the Tianlan Empire could have another choice, but when all kinds of elements that were beneficial to us appeared, Luo Ning, the old thief, could only choose to take this risk. You know, in order to do this, we have calculated them from the beginning. In order not to make them suspicious, I did not dare to order the troops to take away all the grain and grass in the city before we withdrew from Jingchuan Province. In doing so, I just wanted to make the Tianlan Empire's grain and grass problem appear later, and now it seems that the timing of their problem is very accurate. Another point is that the spies we have planted in the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire have also played a great role, and now the Kaivin Emperor of the Tianlan Empire is no longer suspicious of Lieutenant General Luo Ning. Lieutenant General Luo Ning now has only two options, one is to take the risk of attacking Xicheng, maybe there is still a chance to survive. Then the old guy desperately let the troops suffer heavy losses, turned around and cleaned up General Li Yi, and then even if the emperor of the Tianlan Empire gave a resolute order, Luo Ning would retreat the troops a certain distance. Although this can prevent the troops of the Tianlan Empire from being wiped out, his old man's official career can be said to be over, and it is very likely that he will die because of this. The more Elena spoke, the more relaxed her tone became, and at the end, she looked as if everything she said had already happened.
But hearing this, Bettina finally figured out the current battle situation thoroughly.
With their understanding of Lieutenant General Luo Ning, a veteran who has fought all his life, Luo Ning will definitely not choose to admit defeat willingly, and may return to China to accept punishment in the end. Thinking about a person like him who has been fighting all his life, since he has seen the current situation, how can he be willing if he doesn't fight.
Thinking about all this, Bettina couldn't help but think of another question. That is, if this time when the Tianlan Empire conquered the Yanlong Legion, if Li Yi had not suddenly said such a plan, and there was a talented person like his sister Elena who planned it, then the Yanlong Legion would have been completely removed from the Shengyuan Continent because of this.
Thinking of the kind of situation that might arise, Bettina couldn't help but show a determined expression on her face, no matter what, now that the situation had begun to develop in favor of the Yanlong Legion. Then you must do your best to maintain this advantage, maybe after this battle, the Yanlong Legion will really be able to go north in one fell swoop, not only can recover all the previously lost territory, but it is even possible to take advantage of the lack of troops of the Tianlan Empire to conquer the Senna King City in one go, and at that time, the territory north of the Seine King City is not all in the pocket of the Yanlong Legion.
If one can be done, then it can be restored in the true sense, not like now, although the Yanlong Legion has already declared to the outside world that they have established the Sai Empire again, but in fact, to be honest, people in the entire continent do not think that the Yanlong Legion can truly be called an empire just by occupying a southern Sayi territory.
And now in this situation, it is even more impossible to call it an empire, and now the Yanlong Legion only has one Zhongba Province left, and it has developed to the very beginning of the fight.
So now the Yanlong Legion must hold on to the attack of the Tianlan Empire, and only by defending against the fierce attack of the Tianlan Empire can the Yanlong Legion start their counterattack.
Of course, Bettina also knew that no matter what the future development was, the most important thing in front of her was to think about how to resist the attack of the Tianlan Empire.
Bettina knew that if Lieutenant General Ronin saw the predicament in front of her, she would inevitably tell all the problems to their subordinates. Because at such a time, only by using the principle of the defeat of the mourning army can their troops get rid of the present tired posture. Because if they don't work hard to get to this point, then what awaits them can only be death on the battlefield.
Since this is the case, then this time the siege of the Tianlan Empire will inevitably be extremely fierce. Although the Flame Dragon Legion had prepared everything beforehand, Bettina asked herself, the Flame Dragon Legion still had a 100% chance of winning.
But when Bettina said her thoughts and hurriedly pulled Elena to start preparing to deploy the plan to defend the city, Elena looked at Bettina with a smile, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Sister, what are you anxious about, do you think that we are already victorious this time." ”
Hearing Elena's words, Bettina couldn't help frowning, and then said to Elena in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Sister, you can't be careless about the enemy, such as today's Lan Empire and our garrison forces are almost the same, if they blindly attack, we may really fail." Don't take it lightly, hurry up and set up a defense of the city. ”
Hearing Bettina's words, Elena knew that Bettina was really thinking so now. Knowing this, Elena smiled and said to Bettina: "Sister, I am not careless, but we are really sure of victory." Have you forgotten that we still have a dark move? ”
Hearing this, Bettina couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking for a long time, she said helplessly to Elena: "I don't remember, what other secret chess do we have, but all the conspiracies and tricks that can be used have been used." ”
Seeing her sister so careless, Elena couldn't help but shake her head in annoyance, and then blinked her eyes and said to Bettina: "Sister, have you forgotten the 200,000 troops that we withdrew in advance when we attacked the Seine Royal City?" ”
"Huh? This one...... Ah, I remember, when you pressed for a force to be sent back before our large forces retreated back to the south of Said. It's just that we didn't send them directly to Xicheng at that time, if it weren't for the fact that we had preserved such a combat force before, we wouldn't have so many troops now. After hearing Elena's words, Bettina pondered for a long time before she suddenly realized.
It's just that seeing that her sister reacted so slowly and was so careless about the deployment of the Yanlong Legion, Elena shook her head helplessly, and said to Bettina with a wry smile: "My own sister, have you forgotten that when we retreated, didn't I send this group of troops to the front again." Later, I did it again and hid them. ”
Hearing Elena's reminder, Bettina pondered for a long time again before she suddenly said: "Ah, I remember, later, when Ning'an Province was about to collapse, you transferred 100,000 troops from the army, and gave them enough food and grass at that time, I remember, you planted them in the Taikaro Mountains." ”
Seeing her sister suddenly realized it twice, she remembered the current situation, Elena could only be helpless and helpless, her sister was not suitable to be the commander of the army after all. 100,000 troops, this is not a small amount, but her sister said that she would forget it. If Bettina had started to arrange all this, and until now she hadn't thought about arranging the next orders for the troops, then this team would not have starved to death.
But after being helpless, Elena didn't blame her sister much, after all, Elena knew that her sister had a careless problem since she was a child, and now Bettina said that she was in charge of the whole army, but Elena knew that Bettina's real mind was still on cultivation. Whether it is for the future stability of the Sai Empire, or for the sake of a cultivator's desire to be strong, Bettina's idea of pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts has never been broken.
So Elena just pretended to complain and glanced at Bettina before she took the initiative to speak: "It's the army I planted there early, even if that old thief from Luo Ning is cunning, it is impossible to think that we will bury such a team of people by their side." Originally, I planned to let these centaurs rush out of the Tykaro Mountains once the decisive battle came, they have been resting since the beginning of the war, and now their troops can be regarded as our biggest new force on the battlefield. Now that General Li Yi has fallen from the sky, it undoubtedly makes my dark chess move particularly powerful. I had already conveyed the order a few days ago, and I think that if nothing else, that force and General Li Yi's troops would have converged by now. ”
Hearing this, Bettina couldn't help but be overjoyed, the thing Bettina was most worried about in front of her was that although the situation in the Tianlan Empire was very bad, it had not yet reached the point of being cornered after all. If the troops of the Tianlan Empire really launched a crazy attack and attacked Xicheng at all costs, then whether Xicheng would be able to hold the city in the end is still two words.
It's just that now that I hear that there are not only Li Yi's support troops on my side, but also the ambush of 100,000 troops, and the danger of Xicheng this time has been minimized.
With an excited expression on her face, Bettina said to Elena very happily: "Ah, then according to what you say, now in the rear of the Tianlan Empire, there should already be more than 100,000 of our new forces." If General Li Yi and the others can wave their troops south and fight here in a long way, then won't we have the advantage of attacking the Tianlan Empire in front and back. ”
Hearing that her sister had such a whimsical idea, Elena shook it slightly, and then said to Bettina with a smile: "Sister, marching and fighting is not such a simple thing at all, although I have an advantage in the situation now, but after all, the Tianlan Empire still has a big advantage." That is, after all, the Tianlan Empire fully occupies our city, and although General Li Yi and they have more than 100,000 troops, it is difficult for some strong people to let the army captain drive straight in and rush to solve the danger of our Xicheng. The only thing General Li Yi and the others can do now is not to act rashly and want to come to support Xicheng. Instead, he should do his best to create chaos in the rear of the Tianlan Empire, so that the soldiers in hand will be panicked, and the rear supply troops will be hit. As long as we can maintain this situation and not be surrounded by the army of the Tianlan Empire, this is already the greatest help to our side. ”
Listening to Elena's explanation, Bettina finally woke up from the joy just now. Yes, before the Tianlan Empire was still under the condition that the Yanlong Legion continued to release water, it took half a year to kill from Ning'an Province to Zhongba Province. Although Li Yi's troops are quite a few now, they are dwarfed by the million-strong army of the Tianlan Empire at that time. Therefore, it is okay to expect Li Yi's troops to make trouble for the Tianlan Empire in the rear, and form a diversion effect. If Li Yi could come from Jingchuan Province, thousands of miles away, to rescue Xicheng, it would be really embarrassing. If Li Yi can do it, unless Li Yi is a god descending from heaven, otherwise, it is best not to count on this matter.
But Bettina thought about it and thought that Li Yi could continue to contain the frontline troops of the Tianlan Empire in the rear of the Tianlan Empire, and this alone was enough to make the pressure on Xicheng plummet.
