After all the worries were resolved, Bettina glanced at Elena with a smile, and then said happily: "Okay, sister, you can sit here safely, my sister is not as good as you in terms of resourcefulness, but in battle, my sister will not be underestimated by you." No matter what happens in the future, it is already a fact that the Tianlan Empire has launched an attack on us now. As the commander of the whole army, I should go to the city to fight side by side with our soldiers. Wait for news of our victory, my dear sister. ”

After Bettina finished speaking, she turned around and left the City Lord's Mansion in a dashing manner.

But after Bettina left, Elena sat in her seat stunned for a long time. Because the two sisters, Elena and Bettina, since they got together in China and Pakistan ten years ago, although the relationship between the two sisters is very good, Elena has never seen her sister so happy as she is today.

When Bettina was studying the battle situation with Elena just now, she still looked worried, but in a blink of an eye, Bettina suddenly became smiling. And when he was leaving, he rarely called Elena a good sister.

Hearing such a title, Elena couldn't help but laugh after getting goosebumps. Isn't it because of the problem that has always been difficult to solve that it is finally going to be settled today?

Thinking of this, Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the eyes of outsiders, the image of their two sisters is simply two female gods of war. One is the god of war in power warfare, and the other is the god of war in intelligent warfare. It's just that no matter what outsiders think of their two sisters, in fact, putting aside all their false names, these two are just women. It's just that these two women have been working for the size of the Yanlong Legion for more than ten years. With the two of them, their not broad shoulders, supported a piece of the sky of the Yanlong Legion.

When the battle against the Seine Royal City was lost, and then the Tianlan Empire dispatched a million troops to conquer the Yanlong Legion, the unfashionable Barak was suddenly stunned on the spot. If it weren't for Bettina and Elena, it would be a question of whether the Yanlong Legion would be able to dominate the entire Sainan Territory, let alone compete with the Tianlan Empire to avenge the hatred of destroying the country back then.

Now, after so much forbearance, enduring the provocation of the enemy, enduring the incomprehension of his subordinates, and going through so much, it is finally time to raise my eyebrows and fight a big war. And from all indications, the Yanlong Legion's chances of victory are very large.

With such a result, how could the two sisters not be happy.

Sitting in the city lord's mansion in Xicheng in a daze, Elena was in a daze for a while, recalling the rare smile of her sister when she left, Elena smiled sweetly, and then her eyes were tightened, leaning on the comfortable chair, and it seemed that she was asleep.

Elena was really tired, and she hoped that after she woke up, she would be able to hear the news of the Yanlong Legion's defeat of the Tianlan Empire. Although she knew that this was impossible, this time Elena deceived herself once, and then ran away from everything and slept peacefully.

This time in a defensive battle, there was no need for Elena to come up with any more tricks. Although Bettina is not handsome, she is a very competent general. With the two sides having little difference in strength, Bettina's army held on to a very strong defensive city, which was more than enough.

When Bettina hurriedly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and rushed to the city wall of Xicheng, the officers of the Yanlong Legion had already begun to command the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion and were defending the city with all their might.

Seeing that his commander Bettina had actually ascended to the city in person, these soldiers of the Yanlong Legion, who had already held their breath and were ready to fight with the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire, suddenly increased their morale. Under the command of Bettina and the officers of the Flame Dragon Legion, the defense of Creek City can be described as impregnable. No matter how strong his Tianlan Empire attacked, he would never be able to take advantage of the Yanlong Legion in the slightest.

And just when the Yanlong Legion was fighting against the main army of the Tianlan Empire in Xicheng, Li Yi, who was far away in the north, was also leading his troops at this time, and he was rampage on the back line of the Tianlan Empire unscrupulously.

Li Yi's idea is very simple, and of course it is very clear. Although Li Yi had led his troops to merge with a force of the Yanlong Legion a day earlier, Li Yi had not become more confident because of the rapid increase in the number of troops in his hands now.

Although Li Yi is now leading the troops to wander in the rear of the Tianlan Empire, Li Yi knows that even if it is the rear of the Tianlan Empire, the number of troops in the Tianlan Empire is not small.

In the province of Sayi, almost every city has more or less troops from the Tianlan Empire. In dozens of cities, nearly 400,000 troops of the Tianlan Empire were scattered. Although after the division of troops, the troops in each city cannot compete with the troops in Li Yi's hands now, but who knows if there is a brave general in the rear of the Tianlan Empire. If someone in the Tianlan Empire broke the cauldron and gathered the scattered forces together, and then tried to annihilate Li Yi's troops, then Li Yi would be relatively difficult to do.

Therefore, after converging with the 100,000 troops of the Yanlong Legion, Li Yi finally made the most correct choice after analyzing the distribution of troops in his hands now.

Now among the troops led by Li Yi, because of the addition of another team of soldiers and horses from the Yanlong Legion, the number of cavalry has been replenished to as much as 50,000. The rest were infantry, and there were almost eighty thousand.

After analyzing the situation of his own troops, and after analyzing the current division of troops in the Tianlan Empire in the south of Say, Li Yi decided to lead the current team to completely harass. This time, Li Yi was ruthless and wanted to give the Tianlan Empire a ruthless one.

First of all, Li Yi led 50,000 cavalry and began to constantly harass in Jingchuan Province. As long as he found that in any city, the Tianlan Empire's defensive strength was very small, Li Yi would wave his army and take that city directly. The 80,000 infantry army, although it cannot be the same as the cavalry in speed, is the main supply force in the storm.

To be honest, Li Yi doesn't have a complete plan in his mind right now. Because the situation in the current southern territory of Sayyi is completely different from usual. Moreover, Li Yi also knew nothing about the defensive strength of each city, and when he couldn't know the enemy's situation at all, Li Yi didn't dare to make a battle plan before the battle.

Now Li Yi is taking the troops one step at a time, Li Yi has only one rule in his heart, that is, he must not give the Tianlan Empire a chance to encircle and suppress him.

In every battle, Li Yi advocated a quick victory, and Li Yi did not occupy the captured city, and after taking out the grain and grass from the city to cover enough troops for a while, Li Yi would disperse the food to the many refugees in the city who had been displaced by the war.

Along the way, Li Yi also found a problem. That is the troops of the Tianlan Empire this time, which is completely different from his original opinion of them.

When Li Yi was in the Central Army, although the time was not very long, he also fought many battles with the Central Army, large and small. Whether it is to eliminate the Vanessa rebels in the Tianlan Empire, or to follow the army of the Tianlan Empire on an expedition to the Sayi Empire, in many battles, after the Tianlan Empire won the victory and occupied the city, it is impossible for the soldiers in the Tianlan Empire's troops to do some people who violate military discipline.

At that time, the troops of the Tianlan Empire had strict military discipline, even when they were conquering the Sayi Empire, after they occupied the city, they were not harmless to the people at all. At most, the officers ordered to loot the belongings of some of the nobles and wealthy in the city.

But now that he saw it, Li Yi was really surprised by the troops of the Tianlan Empire.

Every time Li Yi captured a city that had been captured by the Tianlan Empire earlier, when he entered the city, he could hear about the Tianlan soldiers harming the people.

When these inhabitants of the southern realm of Sayyi heard that Li Yi was an officer of the Yanlong Legion, they all thought that the Yanlong Legion had finally defeated the Tianlan Empire, and then waved their army north to regain the lost territory. So every time Li Yi entered the city, he would hear someone complaining to him.

In the mouths of these inhabitants of the southern realm of Said, the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire are simply demons and executioners. Not only did they plunder their goods, but they also plagued the people and ruined human life. In just half a year, the place occupied by the Tianlan Empire in the south of Sayi has been made into a miasma by the Tianlan Empire.

Only now did these residents know how good the Yanlong Legion had been to them over the years. Now I saw Li Yi waving his army to break through the city and capture the city. not only did not commit any offense to the people, but also opened warehouses to release grain, gathering the people who could not survive.

All kinds of good deeds not only made the Yanlong Legion carve a deep imprint in the hearts of these people, but also made Li Yi's prestige unmatched for a while.

Many men who were displaced by the war and hated the Tianlan Empire to the bone marrow asked to join Li Yi's army, wanting to fight with the troops of the Tianlan Empire and avenge the dead family.

Although Li Yi could understand how these people were feeling now, he didn't dare to take these people in. Although most of the people who took the initiative to join the army were young people, Li Yi didn't believe that these people who just wanted to join the army because of hatred could exert much combat power on the battlefield.

First, Li Yi couldn't distribute weapons to them, and if he just let them fight with a hammer, it would be tantamount to sending them to death. Second, Li Yi has a large number of infantry under his command now, which has seriously reduced the mobility of the troops, and if you add these militias that need to be honed and taken care of, Li Yi feels that it is even more difficult to make a big mess here.

So for these people's requests, Li Yi finally declined.

But Li Yi would not give up this good opportunity, he took advantage of the hatred of these people for the Tianlan Empire, although he did not absorb these people into his troops, but he came up with a more ingenious way to let these people help him.

That is, the entire northern side of the southern border of Sayi is now known to have a force of the Flame Dragon Legion rampant here. So in a moment, many cities have fallen.

And when the city falls, there will inevitably be displaced people. Li Yi trended that most of the displaced people began to take refuge in other cities. These refugees didn't just go out for refuge, these refugees who went out to take refuge were all willing to take risks to take refuge because they hated the Tianlan Empire.

These refugees dispersed in all directions and sought refuge in different cities. As soon as they entered the city, they announced some false news. For example, they are obviously refugees in Wu'an City, but they say that they are refugees in Lingcheng. But at this time, in fact, Lingcheng was still in the hands of the Tianlan Empire.

It's just that this kind of information, whether true or not, has caused a lot of pressure on the local defenders, and has also caused many errors of judgment on their officers.

Using this psychological warfare, Li Yi fought like a fish in water in the north of the southern border of Say, and the troops of the Tianlan Empire couldn't judge where Li Yi was fighting and where he was going after the fight.

The troops of the Tianlan Empire in the entire southern border of Sayi began to panic, the war was not over yet, but these Tianlan soldiers began to be timid before the battle.

"Marshal, the enemy's offensive has begun to weaken, shouldn't we take the initiative?" On the wall of Xicheng, an officer of the Yanlong Legion wiped the blood on his face and said to Bettina with an excited face.

Hearing this proposal from her subordinates, although Bettina also wanted to nod her head in her heart, but when she thought of the fact that the soldiers were not tired of cheating, Bettina couldn't help but put away her contempt for the siege troops of the Tianlan Empire.

After carefully inspecting the battle on the field today, Bettina thought for a while, and then said to her subordinates: "Don't be careless, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the current attack of the Tianlan Empire is blocked, not to mention that it will not collapse completely, not to mention, we can't conclude whether the old thief Luo Ning will make a desperate bet and transfer the remaining troops in the rear to the front line to fight to the death with us, first completely control the advantage, and then we will seek a chance to counterattack." ”

Although Bettina's decision was very conservative, at a time like this, as the head of the entire legion, she could only make such a conservative decision. After all, Bettina knew very well that she had the survival of the entire Yanlong Legion on her shoulders. If at this time, she was as desperate as her subordinates and just wanted to beat the water dog of the Tianlan invading army, then maybe any irrational decision would lead to the defeat of the Yanlong Legion.

In order to wait for the best fighter, the Yanlong Legion has been patient for more than half a year, and it is taking such a big risk and taking the initiative to pay so much territory, and only now has it finally seen the dawn of victory. Therefore, although Elena did not stand at the head of the city to supervise the battle with Bettina at this time, Bettina was still able to give the most correct orders very calmly.

Now, it has been nine days since Luo Ning led the last main force of the Tianlan Empire to attack Xicheng. In these nine days, whether it was the army of the Tianlan Empire or the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion, both sides had experienced a very severe test.

Bettina's previous words were right, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, don't look at the fact that after the Yanlong Legion arranged such a net of heaven and earth, the army of the Tianlan Empire had already fallen into a very difficult situation before. But when the army of the Tianlan Empire began to attack Xicheng, the Yanlong Legion still saw the bravery of the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire.

For nine days, the Tianlan Empire's offensive never stopped. Even two days before the start of the war, the Tianlan Empire also launched two sneak attacks and two strong attacks at night when morale was high. Although these offensives were all disintegrated by the Yanlong Legion as usual, their fierce fighting style still made the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion, who were already a little underestimated by the current army of the Tianlan Empire, cheer up their spirits.
