Vol 2 Chapter 174:

The supply of grain and grass is inadequate. Although the morale of the troops is strong, the soldiers have reached their limit of physical function because of the battle. The Yanlong Army has been passively avoiding wars from beginning to end. Now it is sitting in Xicheng, the troops are recuperating, and the supply of grain and grass is worry-free. Such wars do not need to be fought, they all know what the ending is.
If this battle is defeated, the Tianlan Empire is completely defeated. Because this is not a simple defeat, as long as this tough battle is defeated, then if the Yanlong Legion wins the chase, the subsequent battle is likely to be a previous copy.
Only when the time comes, the winning side will not be the Tianlan Empire, but the Yanlong Legion that has been pretending to be a grandson.
After trying to understand all this, Lieutenant General Luo Ning was very unwilling, but he also had to awe to those who could set up such a conspiracy in the Yanlong Legion. What kind of person can you have such a forbearing strategy?
Although this scheme is insidious, it is now finally playing a huge role. In the Yanlong Legion, all the soldiers finally got the final explanation from Bettina and Elena. All the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion knew the good intentions of the two female coaches and finally understood why the Yanlong Legion had been so negative since the beginning of the war.
Now, when the Yanlong Legion finally exchanged the opportunity for a fair battle with Forbearance, all the Yanlong Legion warriors worshipped Betina and Elena.
They know that their commander-in-chief is not a genius, although a woman, she can be more forgiving than a man. Such good intentions and outstanding talents are beyond the reach of these big soldiers. Now they only know one thing, that is, in the near future, the Yanlong Legion will be able to fight the Tianlan Empire in a fair and upright manner. In this battle, the Yanlong Army can raise their eyebrows and exhale.
Seeing this, Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it is now irreversible, you must fight the Tianlan Empire. In the eyes of outsiders, the Yanlong Legion is a sure loser. But Elena firmly believed that the victory must belong to the Yanlong Legion.
Thinking of being able to achieve today's results, Elena had to admire the old predecessors who came up with such a sharp strategy for Li Yi.
Where is the old predecessor, whom Li Yi called Hans, sacred? Sitting calmly in the mansion of Xicheng, Elena finally has free time to think about this kind of gossip.
What she thought was what Lieutenant General Luo Ning thought now. When Lieutenant General Luo Ning saw that the battle could no longer be reversed, he knew that this time it was time for the curtain call. In this case, Lieutenant General Luo Ning just wanted to know who he lost this time.
But this question, it is estimated that Lieutenant General Luo Ning will never get an answer.
Because even Li Yi, who got this strategy from Hans' mouth, did not know where Hans was before he entered the Undead Mountains.
But here, I have to mention that the Hans who fought side by side with Li Yi for ten years in the Undead Mountains had a very prominent identity before he entered the Undead Mountains.
The former head of the Central Army of the Tianlan Empire, also serving as the Marshal of the Tianlan Empire, and the mentor of Lieutenant General Luo Ning's tactics, these prominent names fell on a person decades ago.
This man is called Hans.
"Luo Ning, is the situation really as bad as you say now." In the temporary war hall of the Tianlan Empire, the head of the Kane Army, who had always been absent from the war before, was frowning tightly. Looking at Lieutenant General Luo Ning seriously.
Hearing this unnecessary question from his old comrade-in-arms, Lieutenant General Luo Ning wanted to use his opportunity to spread his grievances on him, but the thought that even this would be useless, so Lieutenant General Luo Ning watched After glancing at the head of the Kane Legion, he said with a hoarse voice: "Well, things are like this. Although all this is just my guess, but I know that in this case, we have to choose not to attack the city. Even It is also necessary to withdraw some of the defense lines before it is possible to deliberate.
In his mind, he constantly tasted the conspiracy that the Fire Dragon Legion had set up for the Tianlan Empire since the war. Although Lieutenant General Luo Ning was unwilling, he could only come up with a remedy as soon as possible.
In the view of Lieutenant General Luo Ning, if we want to solve this problem now, we can only choose to avoid war, let the army retreat to a relatively safe place, and shrink the front. Only in this way can the problem of supply be solved temporarily.
And for a period of time after that, the Tianlan Empire should not arbitrarily talk about attacking the Yanlong Legion. In the first place, the Tianlan empire could not withstand this kind of toss, and secondly, Lieutenant General Luo Ning knew that although he lost to them once now, as long as the Tianlan empire could keep the previous results, then the Tianlan empire raised After a few years of accumulating, it is really easy to solve the Flame Dragon Legion again.
But now, this idea of ​​Lieutenant General Luo Ning cannot be implemented at all. Because soon after the Tianlan Empire army attacked the Cram fortress, the emperor capital even came, and Kevin the Great heard that the Ram fortress was finally captured and was very happy. And Kevin the Great also knew that the soldiers of the empire had begun to show a little fatigue due to the ongoing fighting. But after all, the Celestial Empire will be able to win the final victory immediately, as long as it can conquer the city of Xi, this Yanlong Legion's last stronghold. Then this time the Tianlan Empire's conquest can be a complete success.
Seeing this order, Lieutenant General Luo Ning could not but swear. He really couldn't figure it out. Since Kevin the Great had said that he had thought that the troops had shown signs of fatigue, why did he choose to attack at this time, let his soldiers brave the cold, and the problem of insufficient food and grass supply Go to Xicheng to die.
And the most embarrassing thing for General Luo Ning now is that he can’t tell the Emperor Capital at all, so that Kevin the Great and the ministers who only know the hand painters know that the army of the Tianlan Empire has no war. That huge advantage.
This time, if you choose to force siege at this time, even if the soldiers are tenacious, the Tianlan Empire can reduce the loss. But no matter what, this Xicheng is definitely impossible to capture. There is no other reason, just because the Tianlan Empire no longer has a huge military advantage.
In the tough battle, if the attacking party wants to win without paying a huge price, it is simply impossible to succeed.
Unless all the soldiers on the side of the city are unwilling to fight, or there is insufficient food in the city, civil strife may occur. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the siege party to obtain the city with the same number of troops.
But looking at the Yanlong Legion, their troops had no morale problems and second, lack of food and grass. Judging from the current defensive posture of Xicheng, the Yanlong Legion is now clear that it is going to fight against the Tianlan Empire in the end. Either the Tianlan Empire immediately attacked the city, and perhaps a victory or defeat could be decided before the grain and grass were exhausted.
Either the troops of the Tianlan Empire will now retreat to avoid the danger of being counterattacked if the siege is not good.
However, it was clear that the Yanlong Legion didn't mean to let Admiral Luo Ning withdraw their troops. When the army withdrew from the Ram Fortress, the spies of the Yanlong Legion, which were installed in the Tianlan Empire, began their activities again.
Various unfavorable rumors have pointed to Lieutenant General Luo Ning. From these rumors, if Lieutenant General Luo Ning could not dare to attack the city, then when his class teacher returned to the dynasty, even if he had a hundred mouths, he could not help himself The excuse is clear.
In desperation, Lieutenant General Luo Ning could only tell the current situation of the bad situation to the head of the Kane Army.
Originally Lieutenant General Luo Ning believed that even if the head of the Kane Army had not been involved in the planning of the war, as a deputy commander of the army, he should understand everything in front of him.
However, when Lieutenant General Luo Ning communicated with the Head of the Kane Army, he was surprised to find that his old comrade-in-arms seemed to be preparing to thoroughly implement his golden mean. Mo said that it was the situation of the current Yanlong Legion, and even the current situation of the frontline troops of the Tianlan Empire, the head of the Kane Legion was unaware of it.
Especially when Lieutenant General Luo Ning told all the current problems to the commander of the Kane army, the commander of the Kane army just woke up like a dream. The look in the eyes of Lieutenant Luo Ning always flashed in disbelief. Shine. He now hopes that Lieutenant General Luo Ning will be able to tell him that everything Luo Ning said is just a joke.
Now that the army commander is driving straight in, it is already the winning ticket. Although Xicheng has a solid defense, it is simply unbearable in front of the army of the Tianlan Empire.
But when Commander Kane saw Luo Ning's solemn expression and indifferent eyes, Commander Kane knew that everything his old comrades said was true. Now he doesn't have to be suspicious of the emperor because of his remarkable military achievements. If this time the conquest is defeated, then the two commanders, Luo Ning and Kane, definitely have no chance of surviving.
Even if they can escape in the hands of the enemy, after returning to the imperial capital, they must be severely punished.
And when both of them were worried about these things, Lieutenant General Luo Ning suddenly got another news that made him almost pass out.
Holding the letter that had just been received from the herald in his hand, Lieutenant General Luo Ning's lips started to tremble unconsciously. And Lieutenant General Luo Ning stared at the letter while repeating with incredible tone: "How could this be, how could this be..."
Seeing Luo Ning's abnormal performance, the head of the Kane Army was even more excited, and he walked nervously to Luo Ning. The head of the Kane Army asked with a trembling voice, "Roning, what happened again."
Hearing Kane's voice, Lieutenant General Luo Ning woke up from a state of loss. After a bitter smile, Lieutenant General Luo Ning handed the letter to the commander of the Kane Army.
The doubtful result letter, the commander of the Kane army immediately set his sights on it. But after he finished reading, the head of the Kane regiment dropped the letter on the ground at once, and then like Lieutenant General Luo Ning, he repeatedly said: "How could this be..."
It turned out that this letter was not a letter from the imperial capital, but a report from Danfengxing Province. Danfeng's trip to the province, which originally seemed to Lieutenant General Luo Ning, was just a place where his troops were transferred. The resources at the rear of the empire, most of the back-up troops, were first gathered from various places to Danfeng Province, and then collectively set off from Danfeng Province to the front-line troops.
Because of the guard of King Senna, Lieutenant General Luo Ning had never thought of it when he was recruiting the Yanlong Legion. There would be a problem in Danfeng province. But even if Lieutenant General Luo Ning doesn't believe it anymore, this problem is now emerging, and judging from the battle report, this problem is still not a small one.
It turned out that as early as a month ago, Li Yi secretly merged with the troops of the Tianlan Empire converging in Danfenghang Province by pretending to be the troops of the Tianlan Empire.
What Li Yi originally intended was that, after the confluence, unexpectedly, one or two enemy troops would be best able to occupy the city and consume the number of enemy troops by guarding.
But what Li Yi did not expect was that the highest chief in Danfeng Province at this time, a guy named George, turned out to be the veteran who had fought with Li Yi in the city of Seine.
When he first entered the city, Li Yi didn't find out, because Li Yi couldn't remember who had conquered him in the city of Seine. If it wasn't because Mel had been in front of Li Yi, Li Yi would not even remember Mel.
But Li Yi does not remember, does not mean that Mel does not remember. On the school ground, after seeing George from a long distance, Mel recognized it at a glance. This guy was the one who fought with him in the city of King Seine. In other words, he was also a member of the Central Army.
For George, Mel asked himself that he still knew him better. When Mel and his group were fighting back against the Tianlan Empire, George originally wanted to fight back. But because that time when he was performing the mission, George had been transferred out of the Central Army earlier, so he failed to fight back with Mel.
At the same time, George is not like Mel and they have no foundation in the Tianlan Empire. George's father was also an old hero of the Tianlan empire. At that time, he made a lot of credit for the southern battle of the Tianlan empire. George joined the Central Army only under the impression of his father.
But after seeing Meir and their rebellion against the Tianlan Empire, George was originally dissatisfied with the Tianlan Empire because of his unsympathetic love. At that time, he was severely criticized by his old father.
George is also extremely filial. The reason why he wanted to bring his father to rebel against the Tianlan Empire, he also wanted to take his family with him. After all, once his shareholding was established and his family was still in the Tianlan Empire, it would be difficult for them to save their lives.
Therefore, George, as a veteran of the Second Knights who had the luck of surviving from the city of Seine, did not follow Mer and go to Jingchuanxing province to develop.
But for so many years, George has slowly gotten into the position of division commander by virtue of warfare. For example, today the Lan Empire fully conquered the southern border of Sai, and George, who was in a high position, also sat in Danfeng and traveled to the province, and he worked on all logistical issues for the front-line troops in the rear.
However, when Li Yi entered the Danfeng province quietly and Mel recognized George, after discussing with Li Yi, Mel decided to see George and see if he could persuade George to come down.
Mel believes that even if the persuasion is unsuccessful and George is his person, he will definitely not do anything to kill Li Yi.
And Li Yi likes to do whatever he likes. I heard that George was his old man, and Mel also repeatedly guaranteed that George was not a person with an improper mentality, so Li Yi did not order to have been successfully mixed into the sky. The blue army left here. Instead, he sat among the troops and waited for Mel's news.
