Li Yi had already said goodbye to Alice at this time, and had been on standby in the Second Knights for a long time. Seeing the red flag waving above the city, several knight commanders who were on standby to attack gave orders at the same time and ran towards the city gate that had been wide open.

The enemy army of Say saw that the fortress of Zhongbang, which had been unable to be attacked for a long time, suddenly opened the city gate, and in an instant, the nearby enemy troops attacked the city gate. But before they could gather many men, several cavalrymen of the knights rushed out of the city gate on iron-clad horses.

The Knights' charge was like a torrent, not only extremely fast, but also impressive. Some of the Say's enemy troops who had just arrived at the city gate were instantly trampled into pulp by their horses. When the other enemy troops saw the knight order of such a scale charge, they did not dare to gather here again, and could only watch thousands of cavalry roar past.

Li Yi still took the lead, even if it was a multi-legion battle this time, Li Yi did not feel the slightest discomfort. With the order just now, Li Yi led his cavalry to rush out. The first one rushed out of the city gate, and the meat at the city gate was also the masterpiece of the Second Knights of the Central Army.

After leaving the city, Li Yi did not charge blindly. Glancing back at the direction indicated by the red flag above the city, the horse's head turned, and he led the team to rush there.

Multi-team charge, relying on cooperation. Several legion commanders dared to use 30,000 cavalry against hundreds of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, relying not only on the surprise of the other party, but also on the sophisticated equipment and precise cooperation of the Imperial Knights. The person holding the red flag at the head of the city was none other than Li Yi's immediate boss, General Luo Ning.

The old general has a vicious eye and is well versed in formations. Standing on a high place, you can see the situation of friend and foe at a glance. Calmly analyze, and then accurately point out the direction of attack to the knights who are shuttling among the enemy forces under the city.

With this, even if Li Yi and the others were in the midst of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, they could prepare to attack the weakest part of the enemy army without being besieged by the enemy army.

Li Yi was red-eyed again, and now even he began to feel that the battlefield was really a good place, and here, he could always experience the thrill of killing. Li Yi was holding the holy sword Roland even when he was charging, and when he encountered the enemy's attack, as long as he leaned over, he could easily take the opponent's life.

The other two knights also charged in an orderly manner, and the second knights formed a perfect charging formation with them.

Although the holy sword Roland is a long sword, he always seems a little stretched when charging on the war horse. When charging, Li Yi always felt a little uncomfortable when making a move. Seeing that he had penetrated deep into the enemy army at this time, the charging speed of the knights slowed down somewhat, and Li Yi also gave up his horse and jumped out, carrying the holy sword Roland and fighting on the flat ground. With only the strength of his feet, he led his knights to charge.

And Li Yi's foot strength is really amazing, even if he only relies on his legs, it does not delay the charging speed of the knights in the slightest. And when he killed the enemy, Li Yi did not forget to look at the command banner at the head of the city in the distance. I didn't want to kill myself, but because of this, I rushed in the wrong direction and let tens of thousands of cavalry die here.

The soldiers of the Second Knights had long been accustomed to Li Yi's bravery, so they were not worried about Li Yi killing the enemy on foot, but under the leadership of Li Yi, the morale of the Second Knights was also instantly boosted, and they worked harder to kill the enemy.

Just when Li Yi was being killed, suddenly a general in the enemy camp shouted at Li Yi: "The thief is leaving, and I will meet you later." ”

Hearing this familiar line, Li Yi just smiled contemptuously. I still remember that when I was in the national capital of Wu'an, there was also such a person, who clamored to come and fight against him, but in the end, he couldn't even bear his own roar.

I first glanced back at the city, and found that the direction of the command flag had not changed, so I couldn't help but play. Turning in the direction that the blade was pointing, he smiled and looked at the soldier who had let him go before.

It didn't take Li Yi to look for more, that person was already holding a giant hammer and running towards Li Yi.

After seeing clearly that the comer was just a strength, Li Yi's interest suddenly decreased greatly. Not wanting to waste time for this kind of opponent, Li Yi quickly exercised his skills, and swung his sword with a sword that implied thunder and lightning. The air blade flew out quickly, and the man rushed towards Li Yi in a daze with a war horse. With the speed of the two directions combined, the poor ghost didn't even have a chance to dodge, and was slashed in two by the amazing qi blade.

Li Yi didn't stay long, picked up his long sword, and led the team to charge again.

After charging for more than an hour, Li Yi heard the horn of the troops sounding in the Zhongbang fortress. At this time, Li Yi also found that unconsciously, Li Yi followed the command banner on the city and returned to the Zhongbang fortress not far away. Strike quickly and kill one of the enemy officers on horseback. Li Yi waved his hand and happily shouted to the soldiers of the Second Knights: "Brothers, go back to the city." After saying that, Li Yi rushed back first, just like when he rushed out.

When he was about to rush to the city gate, Li Yi suddenly shouted behind him: "The last brigade to enter the city will defend the city tonight." This shout was so loud that even General Luo Ning, who was standing at the head of the city, heard it.

Looking at Li Yi who rushed in quickly under the city with a smile, General Luo Ning said with satisfaction: "Li Yi, this kid, is so free to do what he wants on the battlefield. ”

After several knights returned to the city, they were warmly welcomed by the people of the city. This attack was not a simple victory, but a major outbreak of the Tianlan Empire after enduring it for a long time.

On January 16, 1998 in the imperial calendar, the Tianlan Empire finally sounded the clarion call for a counterattack against the Sayy Empire after a cavalry sortie.

After the Tianlan Empire launched a cavalry attack, the offensive rhythm of the Say's enemy army was completely disrupted. Fearing that the fierce cavalry would once again pour out of the fortress of Zhongbang, the enemy army of Say pulled the camp back nearly five kilometers. At such a distance, although it was difficult to send troops to attack the Zhongbang fortress, the attack of the Sayi enemy army on the Zhongbang fortress was also invisibly reduced.

After two days of continuing to besiege the fortress in fear, the soldiers in the army of the Sayi Empire began to retreat.

"Sir, this Zhongbang fortress can't be defeated at all, let's ask Your Majesty for orders to withdraw the army."

"Yes, sir, I don't think the garrison forces in the Zhongbang fortress have been reduced no matter how much they fight, do they have reinforcements like us?"

"Withdraw, general, now the morale of our army has fallen greatly, and the strength is obviously too different from the Tianlan army in the Zhongbang fortress. What's more, we are the attackers, and if we continue like this, we will only let the soldiers die in vain. ”

At this time, in Say's camp, various requests for the withdrawal of troops were constantly being spoken. Even some of the senior officers were in favor of withdrawing, and there was a lot of discontent in the barracks, and if there were two more heavy blows, it was estimated that the soldiers of Say's army might even riot.

Faced with this situation, Lieutenant General Yun Luo, the commander-in-chief of the Sayi army, was also at a loss. Before setting out on the expedition, the general, who had fought in the Sayy Empire for decades, also set off with confidence. Thinking of the magnificent military appearance before, the dark chess in the hinterland of the Tianlan Empire, and the continuous supply of materials and soldiers from the rear, what did Lieutenant General Yunluo think, he led the army to drive straight to the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire.

But what he didn't expect was that when their army wiped out Wu Anguo, they were blocked by the Zhongbang fortress in front of them.

I don't know if the overall strength of the soldiers of the Tianlan Army is higher than that of the Sayi Army, or if the Sayi Army itself has problems. In the face of this not very dangerous fortress, the Sayy Empire sent 700,000 troops back and forth, but as a result, a month was about to pass, and the war not only did not make any progress, but the situation was more and more towards defeat.

Lieutenant General Yun Luo has also begun to consider the issue of withdrawing troops, even if he will be strongly condemned after returning to China, and may even be dismissed. However, as a person who has lived in the barracks for decades, Lieutenant General Yunluo was also a little unbearable to watch his soldiers launch a suicidal charge against a fortress that was impossible to breach.

At the end of the day's offensive, bonfires were lit in the middle of the Say's enemy camp. The soldiers of the Sayy Empire can only breathe at this time, and for them, the current situation seems to be that the Tianlan Empire is attacking, and the Sayy Empire is defending.

Inspecting his barracks with a calm face, Lieutenant General Yun Luo watched the teams of wounded soldiers treating their wounds in a simple environment, and listened to the soldiers' curses to the upper echelons of the empire. Lieutenant General Yun Luo couldn't bear to blame these soldiers anymore, but began to think deeply about the significance of this invasion of the empire.

After walking through a camp in silence, Lieutenant General Yun Luo gritted his teeth, as if he had made a big decision, and said heavily: "Fight, we can't let these children go to death like this." After speaking, Lieutenant General Yunluo sent a team of heralds and summoned all the officers above the division commander level under him into his big tent.

After everyone arrived, Lieutenant General Yun Luo pondered his emotions for a while, and slowly said to everyone: "Everyone, I have called you here so late, I have an important decision to announce. ”

Hearing this, everyone present cheered up and wanted to see what orders their immediate boss was going to issue.

"Actually, as the commander of the First Army, I shouldn't have said this kind of thing. But now the situation is already very serious, and if I hesitate any longer, then the Sayy army will face a catastrophe. Lieutenant General Yun Luo said with a sad face, his tone revealing anxiety and worry.

Seeing Lieutenant General Yun Luo's expression, the generals present also knew that what they were going to say next must be very important.

"I've decided that we'll quit tonight and stop struggling. At present, we may have to retreat in order to preserve our existing forces to the greatest extent. After being silent for a while, Lieutenant General Yun Luo said sadly.

After everyone heard the news, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all showed complicated expressions on their faces. In fact, all of us here now have already had the heart to retire. It's just that the imperial side has never given the order to retreat, and as commanders, these generals are not easy to withdraw outright, which will greatly damage the morale of the army. But now after Lieutenant General Yun Luo announced the news, several division commanders felt disgraced again. After all, each of them had heavy troops, and they all thought that it would be easy to lead troops into the Tianlan Empire. But now that they can't conquer the Zhongbang fortress, several generals also bowed their heads in shame.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry, all the responsibility for the defeat of this war lies with me, and it is my poor command that makes the situation as bad as it is now. All you have to do now is to hurry up and give the order to withdraw our troops, and we will try to withdraw our troops before dawn. While it is now dark, the distance between us and the Zhongbang fortress is not close, and under the cover of night, we should be able to evacuate safely. Seeing the dejected appearance of the generals under his command, Lieutenant General Yun Luo reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to everyone.

"General, I don't know if this withdrawal is due to an order from the imperial capital, or your own arrangement, general." After being silent for a long time, a division commander opened his mouth and asked Lieutenant General Yunluo.

"Alas, how could the imperial capital order the collection of troops. This opportunity was waited for by the empire for more than a hundred years, and it was even more difficult for those people in the royal family to give up this opportunity than to ascend to the sky. Hearing the question of his subordinates, Lieutenant General Yun Luo sighed and said.

"Then, general, you have decided to withdraw your troops privately, and after returning home, the general will definitely be punished. Especially Prime Minister Randy, who was strongly opposed to you leading the army to the expedition. Now we have not only returned in vain, but even returned to China without permission, which is not a small culpability. Hearing Lieutenant General Yunluo's answer, the division commander said sincerely.

"Hehe, what can I do if I punish you. I've lived enough of this old bone, and it makes no difference if I die a few years earlier or a few years later. But when I look at these young people under my hands, the tens of thousands of sacrifices every day, I feel distressed. Lieutenant General Yun Luo said sadly.

"Alas, General, why are you so troubled? In fact, this war itself is the wrong time for the empire to go to war. It is not our fault that we are not fighting well now. If it was really our reason, the Empire would have issued an order for punishment a long time ago. The general should hold on for a few more days, and perhaps in a few days the Imperial side will convey an order for us to withdraw our troops. ”

"Forget it, forget it. I can't make this kind of senseless sacrifice anymore, let's withdraw, and after I go back, I will bear all the blame. After speaking, Lieutenant General Yunluo did not give several division commanders time to speak again, waved his hand, signaled everyone to go out quickly, and issued an order to retreat.

And in the middle of the Sayy camp, when Lieutenant General Yun Luo ordered the troops to retreat, in the Zhongbang Fortress, Lieutenant General Luo Ning and the other two army commanders were discussing the opposite.

"O Lori, I see that the offensive of the enemy army in Say has been getting worse day by day these days. Our preparations have already been made, should we send troops tonight, take them by surprise again, and take advantage of the night to kill them. Then take advantage of the victory and pursue, and we can reach the territory of the Sayi Empire. Standing in the middle of the command, Captain Kane said excitedly to Captain Lori.

Hearing this, Commander Lori did not say anything, but first looked at Lieutenant General Luo Ning, who was sitting peacefully on the side. The latter read the meaning in Lori's eyes, smiled and said, "Lori, I think Kane has a good idea. It's also time for us to counterattack, and if we continue to drag on like this, we may delay the fighters. ”

Seeing that the other two legion commanders meant the same thing, Lori no longer hesitated. got up with a smile and said, "Since both of you already have this plan, I won't be interested in the two of you anymore, so let's send troops." ”

"Hey, this is long overdue, if it weren't for the fact that this is your territory, I would have ordered the attack a long time ago. Every night I asked my knights to be on standby, and for several days, if I didn't send troops, the cubs would be impatient. The captain of the Kane Legion said with a grin, and then turned and walked out.
