Therefore, Luo Ning thought that as long as he led the army to withdraw to Ning'an Province, he should be able to rest assured. Because after all, there are still many garrisons of the Tianlan Empire in Ning'an Province, and Ning'an Province is not very far from the Senna Royal City, no matter how bold the officers of their Yanlong Legion are, they will not dare to openly pursue the troops of the Tianlan Empire in Ning'an Province.
A few days ago, Lieutenant General Ronin had already sent people to the Seine King City to ask for help, and at this time, the troops in the Seine King City were the last straw for Lieutenant General Roning. If the people of the Seine Royal City can come to the aid in time, then his thousand-mile escape this time should also be able to successfully come to an end.
And according to the current situation, since the large forces in the rear of the Yanlong Legion have not pursued it, it proves that Kane's blocking battle should be successful. Thinking that he would not be fiercely pursued by the Yanlong Legion, Luo Ning was also relieved again.
After all, it is not very easy to think about whether you will be chased and beaten by the enemy every day.
Of course, Lieutenant General Ronin's estimate is not correct. Because the commander of the Kane Legion has already decided to die, and is ready to lead the troops to stop the pursuing troops of the Flame Dragon Legion with all his might. But after all, the gap between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, and the army of the Tianlan Empire is short of food and grass, and the morale of the soldiers is extremely low. Therefore, the Yanlong Legion only attacked for two days, and then took the Ram fortress with minimal casualties.
Captain Kane, who died in battle, ended his life's career as a horseman, and finally died on the battlefield, which can be regarded as a worthy reputation.
And just as Bettina and Elena were about to continue the pursuit, they received a letter from Li Yi.
When the two sisters saw Li Yi's letter, they couldn't help frowning. Because what Li Yi said in the letter was too crazy, but out of groundless trust in Li Yi, the two sisters finally agreed with Li Yi's decision after discussing it for a while.
It was because of Li Yi's letter that Bettina and Elena controlled the pursuit speed of the troops and slowly advanced northward.
In Bettina and Elena's opinion, Li Yi is simply crazy now. It should be said that since Li Yi decided to lead a force to attack the hinterland of the Tianlan Empire, Li Yi has been crazy.
In this situation, Li Yi's madness has reached the point of no return.
But despite being skeptical of Li Yi's decision, in the end, Elena and Bettina still implemented Li Yi's idea without hesitation.
However, while marching slowly and sending people to inquire about the news, Bettina still kept recalling in her mind what Li Yi said in that letter.
"Looking at today's war, the Tianlan Empire has completely fallen into a passive situation. The enemy cavalry is very small, and the infantry is exhausted, so it is best to take advantage of the opponent's cautious attitude at this time and then make a surprise attack. So I decided to lead my soldiers, impersonating the army of the Tianlan Empire, to infiltrate the Seine King City again, aiming to surprise this city. After the capture of the city, you will attack from the rear, and our two sides will attack back and forth, and we will definitely be able to completely annihilate the remnants of Luo Ning's army. ”
This is Li Yi's crazy idea when he saw Lieutenant General Luo Ning leading his troops to slowly march in Jingchuan Province.
And at that time, Li Yi felt that this was a rare fighter, if it was really used properly, this time the Yanlong Legion could not only win a big victory in the conquest against the Tianlan Empire, but also take the opportunity to recover the Seine King City. At that time, all the cities north of the Seine King City will be displayed within the attack range of the Flame Dragon Legion.
If this situation can really be achieved, the Yanlong Legion's dream of recovering the country is just around the corner.
Therefore, after Li Yi decided to take the sword side and attack the Seine Royal City, he just wrote a letter to Bettina and asked them to march slowly in the rear, and only do their best when needed. As for the task of seizing the Seine Royal City, it can fall on Li Yi.
And when Bettina received Li Yi's letter, Li Yi's troops were about to march to the vicinity of the Seine Castle.
At this time, Lieutenant General Luo Ning also relaxed his nerves that had been tense after seeing his troops march to Ning'an Province.
The heralds sent out to ask for help have been gone for three or four days, and according to Lieutenant General Ronin's estimate, the defenders of the Seine King City should have received their own news of the request for help at this time, and if nothing else, the reinforcements and grain and grass should also be transported out of the Seine King City at this time and begin to converge on Lieutenant General Roning's side.
But Lieutenant General Luo Ning would never have thought that after seeing the reinforcements in the King of Senna City leaving the King of Seine and marching towards Ning'an Province, the happy person was not only Lieutenant General Luo Ning, but at the same time, there was another person, after he saw that the King of Senna City had dispersed his troops again because of Luo Ning's request for help, his mood was even happier than Luo Ning.
This person is naturally Li Yi, at this time, Li Yi had already successfully infiltrated the Seine King City the day before Lieutenant General Luo Ning's letter for help was delivered.
Because Li Yi's troops included George, a high-ranking officer of the Tianlan Empire who had just taken refuge, and had been constantly harassing him, Li Yi had already collected enough military uniforms from the Tianlan Empire.
Therefore, under the cover of George, as well as the tens of thousands of sets of military uniforms of the Tianlan Empire, Li Yi did not spend the slightest effort to infiltrate the Seine King City.
George just led the troops to show his officer ID, and easily led Li Yi and the others into the Seine King City.
George's defection to the Yanlong Legion has not been announced in the army until now, and even now, no one in the Tianlan Empire knows that a dignified division commander on their side has already defected to the enemy, and has successfully led the people of the Yanlong Legion to infiltrate the Seine King City twice.
Today's Tianlan Empire looks like a monolith on the outside, but in fact, it has long been a strong outsider. The old king of the Tianlan Empire was devoted to cultivation, and he had long since stopped asking about state affairs.
And the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee have also been accustomed to deceiving their superiors and subordinates for so many years, and filling their own pockets. In the Tianlan Empire, the lives of the people who are far away from the imperial capital can already be described as the people's poor livelihood.
Honest and honest officials are very rare among local officials, and although the combat effectiveness of the troops is still strong, the discipline is extremely poor.
When the people in Danfeng Province were attacked by the troops led by Li Yi, the first thing they thought about was not to report to the imperial capital, but to destroy the enemy army in Danfeng Province as much as possible. But in the end, Li Yi's troops disappeared like a ghost, and one of their division commanders disappeared along with them, but even if this happened, the officials in Danfeng Province still did not report the situation.
In their opinion, as long as the war did not take place in Danfeng Province, then there was no responsibility for their crimes.
That's why George was able to hide the fact that he had already defected to the Yanlong Legion until now.
This time, Li Yi used George to successfully infiltrate the Seine King City again, and Li Yi thought completely different from last time.
Li Yi this time is not simply to pass through this huge fortress, his final idea is to take advantage of the fact that the defenders in the Seine King City are completely focused on the outside, suddenly launch an attack in the city, and then take the opportunity to occupy the entire Seine King City in one go, and completely lay the victory for the Yanlong Legion.
When Li Yi saw that the Seine Royal City received a letter of help from Lieutenant General Luo Ning, Li Yi's heart was also very nervous.
Because when Li Yi infiltrated the Seine Royal City, the excuse that George used was that their army was a new force in the expeditionary force of Lieutenant General Luo Ning. Originally, they were on the march, but after receiving the news that the general had collected his troops and was not ready to continue attacking Xicheng, they immediately turned around and began to march towards the Seine King City, so they could walk in front of Lieutenant General Luo Ning's large army.
However, only a day after they got in, General Ronin's men came to the Seine King City again, and made a conclusive statement that now the troops led by Lieutenant General Roning had a crisis in food and grass, and because the combat effectiveness of the troops had seriously declined, they continued to support the defenders in the Seine King City.
When he heard the news, Li Yi was really afraid that the defending officers of the Seine Kingdom had asked this herald to come and meet with George. If that's the case, then the disguise of his own group will soon be exposed.
After hearing that Lieutenant General Ronin was in trouble, the harvest general of the royal city of Seine immediately thought about how to help the heroes of the empire, instead of thinking about whether the army that returned to the royal city of Seine earlier was the advance army of Lieutenant General Ronin.
At this time, the number of defenders in the Seine Royal City was still maintained at about 200,000, because this time the Tianlan Empire was on the side of the conquest, so the number of soldiers left in the Seine Royal City was not very large.
And the generals defending the city are most anxious, is the situation of Lieutenant General Luo Ning's troops who are still approaching the Seine King City, if it is really because of the problem of food and grass, as well as the problem of weak soldiers, and is attacked by the ambush soldiers of the Yanlong Legion on this side, then the losses of the Tianlan Empire are very serious.
And most importantly, now in that team, there is also an important minister of the empire, Lieutenant General Ronin. In the eyes of these soldiers, Lieutenant General Luo Ning's status was no less than that of the king of the Tianlan Empire. Even in the eyes of many soldiers, the status of this veteran who has served the empire for decades is a little more noble than the king of the Tianlan Empire.
What's more, the defending generals of the Senna Royal City also know that in Jingchuan Province and Ning'an Province, there is also a force with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and it always makes unreasonable moves, and it is always sneaking up on the troops of the Tianlan Empire like ghosts.
If they really seized on the fact that Lieutenant General Ronin's troops were now exhausted and attacked his troops, then this veteran, who was already about to do his best, might not be able to survive until he returned to the Seine King City this time.
It was because they were worried that Li Yi and their troops would get in the way, so after receiving a letter of help from Lieutenant General Luo Ning, the defending generals of the Seine King City immediately sent all the cavalry units in the city, which numbered 50,000 cavalry. Each cavalry is carrying a large amount of grain and grass on horseback, so that when this cavalry unit and Lieutenant General Luo Ning's troops converge, it can not only immediately solve the problem of the scarcity of cavalry in Lieutenant General Luo Ning's troops, resulting in extremely low combat effectiveness in plain combat, but also solve the problem of insufficient grain and grass in Lieutenant General Luo Ning's troops.
After only half a day of planning, the Seine Royal City sent all the reinforcements, in order to be able to let the defeated army of the Tianlan Empire return to the Seine Royal City as soon as possible.
It's just that no matter how cautious the harvest officers in the Seine King City were, they couldn't have imagined that they were most worried about attacking Lieutenant General Ronin's troops at this time, and they were resting peacefully in the Seine King City. And under the surveillance of many masters such as Yadi and Pat, his every move and all the arrangements also fell into Li Yi's eyes.
Not to mention that the guards of the Seine Royal City couldn't think of this, even Luo Ning, who was far away in Ning'an Province at this time, couldn't have imagined that Li Yi would come up with such a crazy idea. When the defeated army of the Tianlan Empire tried every means to avoid being attacked by Li Yi's troops, Li Yi actually went off the rails and successfully sneaked into the Seine King City.
And because of the re-division of troops of the Tianlan Empire, at this time, there were less than 150,000 troops left in the Senna King City. Li Yi was confident that after careful planning, he successfully attacked this fortress that would be impregnable if attacked from the outside.
Li Yi asked himself if he was more clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the Seine Royal City, when the Tianlan Empire was so strong in military appearance, it suffered losses under the perseverance of the Seine Royal City. And more than half a year ago, the Yanlong Legion was also under the strong defense of the Seine Royal City, and returned in vain.
Therefore, Li Yi knew that if he wanted to attack this huge fortress, it was far from enough to simply rely on external forces to attack. Unless the external forces are very strong, so strong that they are beyond the normal range. Forced to gather millions of troops and forcibly attack the royal city of Seine. In that case, millions of armies would besiege the royal city on all sides, and it might take less than a day to capture the fortress.
However, this is simply impossible, on the Saint Yuan Great Road, it is impossible for any force to form a legion with a number of millions. If you can really have that kind of strength, then you don't need to think about what strategies and schemes to use at all. In the event of a war or fortress, you can rush directly to the top, and your absolute strength can defeat all conspiracies.
Knowing that this condition could not be met by any force, Li Yi didn't think about it at all. However, Li Yi, as one of the few people on the Shengyuan Continent who has successfully broken through the Seine Royal City, still knows deeply that the Seine Royal City actually has a huge shortcoming.
That is, if there is a problem at one point in the Royal City of Seine, so that the enemy army enters the city, then the defense of the Royal City of Seine, which claims to be invincible, will be self-defeating at the same time.
The city of Seine is so big that if we fight fiercely in the city of Seine, it will not be like street fighting in other cities, but it can be described as a plain station at all.
The wide streets of the Seine were enough for hundreds of cavalry to charge at the same time. Therefore, if there is a fierce battle in the royal city of Seine, the advantage of cavalry can still be brought into play. And don't be afraid that the enemy army will rely on buildings to fend off their own attacks.
At that time, Li Yi led an army of 100,000 to successfully break into the Seine Royal City, and fought a bloody battle in the Seine Royal City for several days, so it can be said that he is more experienced in the combat methods in this ancient royal city.
It can even be said that if Li Yi is allowed to lead the troops to fight against the troops of the Tianlan Empire in the Seine King City, perhaps Li Yi's experience is even richer than that of these soldiers of the Tianlan Empire who have been stationed here all year round. After all, although these people have been stationed here all year round, when it comes to fighting in the Seine King City, they basically have no experience at all.
