Seeing this news, Kevin the Great was even more puzzled. Now that the battle situation is clear, as long as the Ram Province is taken, the Yanlong Legion will not be able to hold out for long. And the morale of the army has been high before, and if you choose to stop fighting at this time, who can guarantee that Lieutenant General Luo Ning doesn't have any other ideas.

So just after a moment's hesitation, Emperor Kevin ordered that the troops continue to attack, no matter what the cost, this time the Yanlong Legion must be completely destroyed.

After receiving the order from Emperor Kevin, Lieutenant General Luo Ning stared at the snowflakes floating outside the military tent, and couldn't help but whisper: "Why do you want to attack......

After entering the winter, the pace of the Tianlan Empire's army has completely slowed down.

The world did not expect that with just a small Ram Fortress, the Yanlong Legion would be able to stalemate with the Tianlan Empire for so long.

This time, the Yanlong Legion seems to have decided to have a complete showdown with the Tianlan Empire. Gone is the passive avoidance attitude that began with the war, replaced by a desperate defense.

Although the severe cold brought obstacles to the army of the Tianlan Empire, it also gave the Yanlong Legion a certain amount of trouble. However, as the defending side, the influence of the Yanlong Legion was far lower than that of the Tianlan Empire.

And the most important point is that the current Yanlong Legion, after holding on to the Tianlan Empire for a long time, has finally seen it. The Tianlan Empire, which they had always thought was invincible, was actually not as terrifying as they imagined.

Before that, the Yanlong Legion had inflicted heavy losses on the legions of the Tianlan Empire, and now with a small Ram Fortress, the Tianlan Empire could not be attacked for a long time. In the face of such a result, the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion also swept away the decline since the beginning of the war, and when they held their positions, they became more and more courageous.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire began to wonder whether this expedition was indeed a mistake. At least, in this midwinter season, it is not a wise choice to forcibly attack Ram Fortress.

On the one hand, Lieutenant General Luo Ning has seen the fatigue of the current troops, if he blindly attacks, although the Ram fortress will inevitably be overcome, the price paid is too huge.

On the other hand, on the side of the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire, messengers kept coming and sent Lieutenant General Luo Ning the decision to order Emperor Kevin the Great to intensify the offensive.

Faced with this situation, Lieutenant General Luo Ning is really in a dilemma.

But just when Lieutenant General Luo Ning was undecided, something happened that puzzled everyone.

The Flame Dragon Legion withdrew.

How could this be, the current battle situation was beneficial to the Yanlong Legion, and holding on to the Ram Fortress would not necessarily be able to completely hinder the pace of the Tianlan Empire's troops' attack. But if you give up this great advantage in front of you, then the Yanlong Legion is estimated to be completely defeated.

Since the start of the war, because of the blind retreat of the Yanlong Legion, the Yanlong Legion is now almost no danger to defend. Now that Ram Fortress can be used as a stronghold, it can compete with the Tianlan Empire. But why did the Yanlong Legion retreat at such a critical juncture?

Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire were all relieved. Because they had been storming Ram Fortress for a month, and now they had only conquered the five small fortresses that preceded it. And by storming these five small fortresses, the Tianlan Empire had once again paid for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If the Yanlong Legion continues to defend to the death, then how is it possible to take down the Ram Fortress and the Tianlan Empire will not bleed heavily.

Besides, it was the middle of winter now, and the cold weather made the warlike Tianlan soldiers also become a little sluggish. Every day when they looked at the small fortress, their hearts were very painful. For none of them knew how many of them would die here for the sake of this fortress.

But just when all the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire were worried about attacking Ram Fortress, the Yanlong Legion actually retreated. The problem that had been plaguing the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire had finally been inexplicably resolved, how could these soldiers of the Tianlan Empire not be happy.

The large army entered the Ram Fortress in a huge way, and the officers of the Tianlan Empire also knew that their men were exhausted, so after entering the city, all the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire finally had a chance to breathe.

But the soldiers were relieved, but Lieutenant General Luo Ning became even more troubled.

His subordinates couldn't see some potential problems, but how could this veteran who had experienced a lot of battles not have doubts when he saw the Yanlong Legion repeatedly using strange moves.

When all the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire were given a chance to rest, Lieutenant General Luo Ning began his close planning.

The old general analyzed all the situations of the Yanlong Legion since the start of the war. After more than half a year of conquest, Lieutenant General Luo Ning had vaguely guessed that there must be a general with outstanding tactics hidden in the Yanlong Legion. And although the old general is not very sure now, he also guesses somewhat that the Yanlong Legion seems to be planning something.

Because judging from these head-to-head duels, Lieutenant General Luo Ning had already seen that the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Yanlong Legion was not as low as he had imagined before. On the contrary, this force, which was originally only composed of most of the militia, was so strong in combat that it could already approach the regular army of the Tianlan Empire. Even among the Yanlong Legion, there are individual units whose combat effectiveness is already stronger than the elite troops of the Tianlan Empire.

In this case, if the Yanlong Legion had invested heavily in every fortress that could be defended since the beginning of the war, they would treat every inch of their territory as if they had been Ram Fortress. In this way, it would be impossible for the troops of the Tianlan Empire to rush straight into the current place in just half a year.

But with such a strong force, since the beginning of the war, the Yanlong Legion seems to have been ready to give up all the territory and cities. At the beginning of the war, the troops of the Tianlan Empire wanted to find an opportunity to fight the Yanlong Legion, but they couldn't find it.

Although the Yanlong Legion also had a few times after that, it fought head-on with the troops of the Tianlan Empire. But on those few occasions, the Yanlong Legion only retreated in one battle. As long as it gets a little cheap, the Yanlong Legion will immediately retreat, not giving the Tianlan Empire a chance to encircle.

Before, Lieutenant General Luo Ning had always thought that the Yanlong Legion was doing this just to preserve its strength so that it could have a real head-to-head confrontation with the Tianlan Empire in the future. But at this point, the Yanlong Legion could have chosen Ram Fortress as the venue for the decisive battle, but after holding it for more than a month, the Yanlong Legion fled again.

This kind of thing happens again and again, how can it not make this battle-hardened veteran wonder. Now, if Lieutenant General Luo Ning can't see any premeditated plans of the Yanlong Legion, then this old general is not qualified to sit in the position of commander of the whole army.

It's just that although it can be guessed what the Yanlong Legion seems to be planning, Lieutenant General Luo Ning still can't really break it in a short period of time, what is the real plan of the Yanlong Legion.

After capturing the Ram Fortress, the next thing the Tianlan Empire will have to face is the lair of the Yanlong Legion, Zhongba Province.

Among the provinces of China and Pakistan, Xicheng is the last place of the Tianlan Empire.

Located in the southernmost part of the southern border of Say, this important town is not only very large, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack. And because of the soil here, Xicheng has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Because the grain production of Xicheng is too rich, just the grain production of one Xicheng is enough for the use of the entire southern territory of Said.

So in the face of such a city, how can Lieutenant General Luo Ning not be worried.

In fact, before setting out on the expedition, although the Tianlan Empire had not formulated a complete battle plan. However, in Vice Admiral Luo Ning's expectation, although the Tianlan Empire did its best, the number of troops was more than twice that of the Yanlong Legion. However, Lieutenant General Luo Ning knew that although a million troops had an advantage in numbers over 500,000 troops, after all, the opponent played a defensive advantage. And the Yanlong Legion is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will, and it is still a little unrealistic for the Tianlan Empire to completely eliminate the Yanlong Legion in a short period of time.

Therefore, before the start of the war, Lieutenant General Luo Ning made the decision to let the troops suspend the offensive in the winter. Because this can reduce the consumption of the troops due to the weather, and secondly, it can also give the tired troops a little respite.

In Lieutenant General Luo Ning's expectation, when the battle reached winter, it would be the best result for the Tianlan Empire to fully occupy Jingchuan Province.

But now, everything that happened was different from what Lieutenant General Luo Ning had expected. He never imagined that the Yanlong Legion, which had been so strong before, would only know how to retreat blindly after the war, until the winter, the troops of the Tianlan Empire had almost completely occupied the southern border of Said.

When the previous attack on Ram Fortress was blocked, Lieutenant General Luo Ning wanted to seize this opportunity to let the troops recuperate, and at the same time give the imperial side some opportunities to recuperate. But I didn't expect that after seeing the battle situation so gratifying, Emperor Kevin couldn't calm down, looking at his posture, even if it was a big price now, he would completely recover the southern border of Sayin. After the problem here is completely solved, the south of the Tianlan Empire will be invincible. At that time, the Tianlan Empire will be able to let go and compete with the Atlantic Empire.

After the Tianlan Empire paid a heavy price and finally inexplicably gained control of the Ram Fortress, Lieutenant General Luo Ning did not feel a trace of joy in victory.

Thinking carefully about the war in the past six months or so, Lieutenant General Luo Ning was shocked to realize that from beginning to end, because of the blind concession of the Yanlong Legion, everyone in the world thought that in this battle of conquest, the Tianlan Empire had an overall advantage. As long as they can continue their efforts, it is only a matter of time before the Yanlong Legion is wiped out. And this time will not drag on too long.

But when Lieutenant General Luo Ning finished reminiscing, he found that things were not as gratifying as they seemed on the performance. Although the territory of the Yanlong Legion has shrunk in a large area, because of their passive avoidance of war, until now, the troops of the Yanlong Legion have not been injured by the bones.

According to Lieutenant General Luo Ning's guess, the number of the current Yanlong Legion should be able to maintain around 250,000 under the deliberate preservation of their leader. And because they are sitting in Xicheng, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the supply of the Yanlong Legion.

However, because of the continuous war, when the Tianlan Empire continued to occupy the land of the southern border of Said, it also had to divide troops to guard the cities that had been taken, plus the loss of the war. Today's troops of the Tianlan Empire have completely lost the domineering spirit of a million-strong division at the beginning of the war.

After entering the Ram Fortress to recuperate, judging from the reports that came up, the current troops of the Tianlan Empire, due to various reasons, have only 300,000 troops left.

Seeing this report, Lieutenant General Luo Ning's brows couldn't help but furrow a little deeper. The million-strong army, because of the attrition of the war and the reason for the division of troops to defend it, has been drastically reduced to such a point unconsciously.

And now it is the middle of winter, and the Yanlong Legion has set up a heavy army in Xicheng in Zhongba Province, looking at the posture, they are just waiting for the army of the Tianlan Empire to continue to conquer the past.

Looking at the report, I analyzed the battle situation of the enemy and me. When he saw the problem of grain and grass supply, Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally realized the biggest crux.

Because the progress of the whole army since the start of the war has been too fast, Lieutenant General Luo Ning, who was originally very concerned about the supply of the rear, has temporarily forgotten this problem.

But now it seems that the defect of insufficient supply is finally being revealed.

Judging from the situation reported by his subordinates, for example, the grain and grass of the troops of the Lan Empire today can only be used by the troops of the Tianlan Empire for a month. This is still because in the autumn, the Tianlan Empire has a bumper harvest, and the problem of grain and grass has changed slightly. However, this does not solve the fundamental problem, in this situation, if the Tianlan Empire wants to completely eliminate the Yanlong Legion, then it must choose a quick battle.

Taking advantage of the current momentum of the whole army, perhaps with a single blow, we can achieve a final victory.

However, the cautious Lieutenant General Luo Ning couldn't help but ask himself: "Can a morale problem alone make up for the lack of combat strength?" ”

Since ancient times, when attacking a city, only when the number of our troops is much higher than that of our opponents, can the siege battle be won with great certainty.

For example, although the Lan Empire has an advantage in terms of military strength today, this advantage is not obvious at all. 300,000 against 250,000, and the other party is sitting on a heavy town. Who will win and who will lose this battle is really a difficult question to draw conclusions.

However, the imperial side sent people to urge the war, and those civil servants who did not know anything about military affairs, under the urging of Emperor Kevin's ambition, also put pressure on the vanguard troops in front of them.

Faced with this situation, Lieutenant General Luo Ning knew that if he did not immediately attack the city, then a few days later, he would inevitably receive an order from the imperial capital to attack. At that time, it will not be up to you to decide whether to attack the city or not.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally figured out the intentions of the Yanlong Legion.

Holding the battle report in his hand fiercely, Lieutenant General Luo Ning said with a hideous face: "Yanlong Legion, you have really invested enough." General Ben has been cautious in fighting all his life, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands this time. Retreat, avoid war, and abandon their territory without any scruples. Retreat to the present, and you have finally seen the dagger. At this point, I just don't want to fight, and no one on the Imperial side will agree. Everyone has been deceived by you, and people all over the world think that the Tianlan Empire will win this battle. However, who knows that this battle is simply a trap set by you. ”
