Hearing Mel say this, no matter how stupid Li Yi is, he can still hear what Mel means. Since they have all been replaced with war horses, this proves that the number of cavalry in the Central Army should have reached a very considerable level.
With a little excitement, Li Yi asked with a smile: "Mel, let me ask you, in addition to the cavalry unit of more than 10,000 people I saw just now, how many cavalry are there in the city, and how big is the gap between their combat effectiveness and the batch you cultivated." ”
"Hehe, regiment commander, now our Central Army has five cavalry regiments, and we also have more than 10,000 war horses. As long as they fight in the plains, I dare to say that even the Yanlong Legion, with their poor corps combat strength, it will not be so easy to get a bargain on us. And our reserve war horse is also a help that should not be underestimated. If, in the future, we encounter a battle that requires a race for time, then we can send a cavalry regiment of 10,000 people to march to the destination day and night. On the way, I changed horses and did not change people, and I thought, with such speed, which other troops can compete with us for time. Mel said with a smug face, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Li Yi with a smile, as if he was waiting for Li Yi's praise.
Hearing Mel's introduction, Li Yi was no longer just a chill in front of him. Although Li Yi is not very good at arranging troops and using any tactics, Li Yi still understands the truth of the speed of soldiers. Just hearing Mel's sentence of changing horses and not changing people, Li Yi could imagine that if such a team rushed to a certain battleground, it would definitely be captured.
And what Mel said was a full 50,000 cavalry, which was only that number in the entire Central Army back then. Moreover, the Central Army, as the most combat-effective of all the legions of the Tianlan Empire, has the largest number of cavalry. But even so, Li Yi had never heard of any knights in the Central Army who still had 10,000 war horses.
Thinking that Mel had cultivated such a powerful cavalry team in a silent manner, Li Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed. When it comes to the lethality of cavalry on the plains, Li Yi knows it very well. As long as it is not a tough battle, the opponent has not dug a dangerous horse pit in advance at the place where the battle started, and stumbled on the horse. If the infantry and the cavalry were to face each other on the plain, the result would only be that the cavalry would blow like a whirlwind, and then the infantry would be powerless.
It is not an exaggeration to say this, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is not something that the infantry can compete with. And with Li Yi's current understanding, there don't seem to be a few pure cavalry troops in the entire southern territory of Sayyi.
Even the most powerful Yanlong Legion now, when Li Yi was there to discuss the development with Bettina, it seemed that he had only heard that there were only 30,000 cavalry troops in the Yanlong Legion. This is still the team that Bettina and the others have put together with great effort, after all, the entire Yanlong Legion controls a full 500,000 troops, and they really can't come up with money, and they also can't find time to train a well-trained cavalry team.
But Mel is different, when almost all the strength of the southern Sayi realm regarded the Central Legion as nothing, Mel was conscientious and conscientious, and in ten years, he cultivated a cavalry team that was enough to compete head-on with the Tianlan Empire.
After thinking about this, Li Yi patted Mel on the shoulder, and then said solemnly: "Brother, it's good." ”
Hearing Li Yi's solemn compliment, Mel just scratched his head honestly in the end, and then said to Li Yi with a smile: "Commander, you should tell me what we will do in the future." To tell the truth, the brothers have been stuck in this small city for too many years, and we don't want to live like this anymore. We are the Legion, and we think we are the best soldiers. Therefore, we still hope to be able to charge on the battlefield, even if the horse leather shroud lasts, it is better than ending up depressed in this small ruined city. ”
Mel's words were really emotional, although in the past ten years, there has been basically no one in the entire southern realm of Sayyi to fight the idea of the Central Army. But because of this, all the officers and soldiers in the Central Army lived a comfortable life that should not have appeared.
Even if the occasional soldier went out to roam in disguise as a vendor, he could only fight a few small battles. For the cavalrymen like them, who have been training all day long, and the cavalry phalanx and charging formation have almost been coordinated, what they want most now is to be able to rush out of the mausoleum one day, and let them wield the long weapons in their hands to kill the enemy, which is the greatest gift for them.
So when Mel saw that Li Yi blindly insisted on cooperating with the Yanlong Legion to use troops against the Tianlan Empire, although Mel was a little timid in his heart, this was indeed the biggest dream of Mel and many brothers in the Central Legion.
Finally, it's time to get started, and there is no need to train helplessly day after day in this mausoleum.
And now not only Mel is excited, but even Li Yi is also excited. Because Li Yi never expected that Mel had spent ten years cultivating such an outstanding cavalry team. With such a terrifying force, Li Yi led them to gallop across the field, what a happy thing it would be.
After catching up with Mel and informing Mel of the news, Li Yi temporarily left the Central Army and ran towards the place where his last acquaintance was in the southern realm of Say.
Wu'an City, the place where the Wu'an Army started. Now it is no longer as calm as it was ten years ago, when Li Yi came here.
The current Wu'an City, because of Margaret's management, seems to have become the most prosperous city in the southern territory of Say. Because the Wu'an Legion has already declared itself a vassal to the Yanlong Legion, and the Sayi Legion has not taken any action in recent years. Therefore, the current southern realm of Sayin is like a peaceful and prosperous world. There is no war, no calamity. Merchants come and go, and the people are self-sufficient, but there is a shadow of an empire.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi also smiled knowingly. But Li Yi didn't have the heart to spend his time on this, unfolding his body, but in a few ups and downs, Li Yi came to the city lord's mansion in Wu'an City again.
There was nothing special about the meeting with Margaret, and Li Yi and Margaret were only hired after all. When the two met, although they also felt a lot of emotion, there was no special relationship between the two. The news that was originally going to be started could be notified by the Yanlong Legion. But since Li Yi came this time, he also told Margaret easily.
And although Margaret is only a woman, she is a person who likes to be competitive after all. Hearing that he was going to take down the Sayy Legion first, and then immediately switch to the Tianlan Empire, this war maniac was also overjoyed.
Li Yi did not make any arrangements for Margaret, because Li Yi knew that the Wu'an Legion was not the same as the Central Legion. His identity here is not as detached as in the Central Army. So Li Yi simply informed Margaret, and then discussed with Margaret a little about the future use of troops, and Li Yi left Wu'an City again.
Since learning that the Central Army already had such a considerable cavalry team, Li Yi couldn't wait to see what kind of combat effectiveness this team would play if it was pulled to the battlefield.
After sending someone to the Yanlong Legion to inform Bettina that everything was ready, Li Yi quietly waited in the Central Legion for the next step.
As a result, the Yanlong Legion did not let Li Yi wait for a long time, and when Li Yi only stayed in the Central Legion for three days, the Yanlong Legion sent someone to send a letter to Li Yi.
The content of the letter was very simple, just one sentence: "Bring troops to China-Pakistan Province and prepare to start." ”
"Bettina, are you sure that the plan that Elena came up with will succeed?" Riding on the war horse, Li Yi asked Bettina with a serious face.
When Li Yi rushed back to the Yanlong Legion again, the first thing Sister Bettina did was to tell Li Yi that when she talked to them in the future, she didn't have to open her mouth or shut up about Her Royal Highness the princess or something, as long as she was called by her name like ten years.
So Li Yi simply changed the title that he said a little differently, and called Bettina by her name.
At this time, Bettina and Li Yi were each leading a cavalry team and marching on the plains south of Say.
And the so-called Elena strategy that Li Yi said in his mouth seemed to be very troublesome in Li Yi's opinion, so although Li Yi did not object to this, when he came out with the troops, thinking that Bettina was by his side, Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Li Yi's question, Bettina was also stunned, and after being silent for a while, Bettina said with a smile: "Hehe, Li Yi, in fact, to be honest, I also think that my sister Elena is quite troublesome with this method she used this time." But after all these years, she has never let me down, so I am also used to everything being arranged by her, and I just need to carry out her orders carefully outside. ”
"Hehe, you're optimistic, so in your Yanlong Legion, it's you who call the shots, or Elena is in charge." Hearing Bettina's answer, Li Yi said jokingly.
"We are sisters, and all we think about is how to restore the country, how can we care who is the most powerful between the two. She's good at internal affairs, I'm good at war, so if you cooperate like this, won't you have a lot less troubles? Although Li Yi's words were inevitably suspected of sowing discord, Bettina knew that Li Yi obviously didn't mean that, so Bettina still replied casually.
"Then if it is done, who will you two ascend to the throne of the empire?" Seeing Bettina so open-minded, Li Yi asked reluctantly, looking like a full three-eight.
Hearing Li Yi ask like this, Bettina couldn't help but put away the ease in her heart. Looking at Li Yi with a pair of beautiful eyes puzzled, Bettina asked with a little question: "Li Yi, why are you suddenly in the mood to ask about these things." Do you also have thoughts on the future throne of our Sayy Empire? ”
Seeing that he was finally misunderstood by Betina, Li Yi also touched his nose in embarrassment. I never thought that I was just asking casually, and I would make the other party have such a reaction.
"Hehe, don't get me wrong, I'm just asking casually, if it involves your secrets, you don't have to say it explicitly." Although it was a little embarrassing, Li Yi had never had any thoughts about that bullshit throne in his heart after all, so Li Yi said very frankly.
"I didn't misunderstand, I just asked curiously. Actually, I'm really curious about whether you are smart or stupid. No matter how talented Elena and I are, we are only women after all. After our identities were revealed, most of the many people who came to us in our name came to us because of my brother Barak's status as a prince. Even if great things can be achieved in the future, the throne will not still belong to my brother Barak. After speaking, Bettina glanced at Li Yi angrily, Bettina was very curious, why Li Yi kept asking questions about such a simple matter.
Hearing Bettina say this, Li Yi suddenly realized. It's no wonder that Li Yi forgot about Barak, this time Li Yi came back, and he and Barak only met once.
Li Yi and Bettina met ten years ago because Barak was plotted in the "Red Square". In fact, since then, Li Yi has not had a good impression of the little prince of the empire who is a gentleman. When he came back this time, after meeting with Barak, Li Yi also completely extinguished his hope for Barak.
Today's Barak, after ten years, not only has not made the slightest progress in strength, but has faint signs of retreat. And originally Barak was also a guy with a strong body and a beautiful face. But now, although Barak has not reached the point of being a body of flesh, he is also blessed with his whole body, and he walks with vain steps.
There are all kinds of indications that Barak has completely degenerated into a real gentleman. Li Yi secretly thought that if Bettina and Elena hadn't worked hard for the affairs of the Yanlong Legion in the past ten years, then this little brother of theirs would have led the Yanlong Legion to destruction a long time ago, and he would not have gotten a good end.
But compared to this uncompetitive prince of the empire, Bettina and Elena are much more dazzling. Although they are only women, they have really given their all their hearts and minds for the future of the Yanlong Legion.
And among the two sisters, Elena is good at internal affairs, and under her management for so many years, the Yanlong Legion has been running well, and it will not be financially stretched because of the constant war.
Bettina shines even more, as a woman, although her strength is now far inferior to Li Yi, but the strength of the sixfold intermediate level, even if it is placed on the Shengyuan Continent, it can be regarded as a first-class powerhouse. When he was in the Yanlong Army, Li Yi also fought against Bettina a few times at Bettina's repeated requests.
Although Bettina was quickly defeated, in Li Yi's opinion, Bettina's current combat power should not be underestimated.
Therefore, in Li Yi's impression, if the Yanlong Legion can really successfully confront the Tianlan Empire this time, and finally overthrow the regime of the Tianlan Empire, so as to establish its own regime, then the throne of the nascent empire should also be selected from among the two sisters.
If that Barak continues to develop according to the current trend, then sooner or later he will withdraw from the central position of the Yanlong Legion.
Of course, in fact, now Barak is simply a puppet. His existence is nothing more than to accumulate popularity. If it weren't for the fact that he had the status of a prince, he wouldn't even be able to catch up with the role of a small soldier in the Yanlong Legion.
But Li Yi never thought that the two sisters, who were shining like this, would still think that when major events were successful in the future, they would let such a wine bag and rice bag ascend to the throne.
