Vol 2 Chapter 103:

"Well, yeah." After hearing Li Yi's explanation, Bettina also nodded and said yes. But despite what Li Yi said so rationally, Bettina couldn't understand what Li Yi said had to do with how much troops were sent to the city last night.
Seeing that Bettina was still confused, Li Yi said lightly: "After last night's battle, although we can't know how much troops were lost by the coalition forces of the Perth Corps, one thing we can be sure of is that After last night’s World War I, the current strength of the Persian Legion will inevitably be unable to continue to launch an effective offensive against our Xicheng. Of course, unless they lose their heads because of the defeat, let their soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit come to us Under the walls of Xicheng, he died in vain."
"Well, what you said makes sense, although I haven't specifically observed how much troops the Pas Corps' coalition lost after the last night's war. But according to my estimation, they had at least half of their casualties in that war. Because We, as the attacking party, have lost more than 30,000 troops." Speaking of the night last night, Bettina was also sighing. Especially after thinking of the return from the victory, after learning the number of soldiers killed, Bettina couldn't help feeling with emotion. War is really a huge meat grinder. In just one night, on the plain outside the city of Xi, at least 100,000 lives must have been left forever.
But for this, Li Yi was very calm. After being accustomed to this kind of life and death, Li Yi already had a very clear understanding of the cruelty of war.
So regardless of the tangled expression on Bettina's face now, Li Yi continued to say: "You said, what will they do after the coalition of the Perth Corps has lost the power to the creek."
Seeing that Li Yi did not continue to explain, he asked himself. After thinking for a moment, Bettina said to Li Yi: "Since they have lost the power to fight again, then I think they must be going to strike and withdraw their troops."
"Well, that's right. Rather than bringing the remnants of the outside soldiers to work hard with us, it would be better to strike and withdraw troops immediately. I think that a slightly sensible officer will make such a decision in this situation. But if they Having made such a decision, they are destined to face a greater disaster." At this point, Li Yi couldn't help but show a cruel smile.
Seeing that Li Yi's face rarely showed such an expression, Bettina said to Li Yi doubtfully, "How could they face a greater disaster if they withdrew their troops. Do they if they withdraw their troops, Then the situation that will be faced will be worse than continuing to attack our city."
Regarding Li Yi's statement, Bettina obviously couldn't figure it out. Although she knows very little about war, she is also able to understand that if the combat is not good, and it is not as good as the opponent, then Mingjin will recruit troops and return to rest and recuperate, then naturally return to continue fighting.
However, in Li Yi's world, it seems that the two armies are at war. If one side is defeated, then the defeated side will be in a state of utter unrest. This way, Bettina couldn't figure it out.
Looking at the puzzled expression on Bettina's face, Li Yi also guessed that Bettina must have been unable to understand her statement. So after shook his head helplessly, Li Yi continued to slowly say to Betina: "Betina, you have to remember that war is war, it is not a fierce battle between our warriors. Since the two sides are fighting, Then it must be because the two sides have their own plans, either for monetary rights, or for hatred. But no matter what the purpose is, they will ultimately have to win or lose. And for victory, the two sides will naturally compete See, life and death fight. Since this is the case, then after the war, the two sides must have forged an insolvable hatred. Therefore, the Pas Corps outside the city is now the enemy of your Flame Dragon Corps, and it is the most hatred. The enemy. So in the face of the enemy, don’t you think you should rush to kill it."
After listening to Li Yi's story, Bettina couldn't help but fight a cold war. Not entirely because of what Li Yi said, but a greater part of it, or because Li Yi was telling these things, he didn’t know whether he was conscious or unconscious, and he didn’t radiate cold killing intentions all the time. . This feeling is that Bettina has never felt from Li Yi before.
For Li Yi, Bettina always feels that Li Yi is a mysterious man. From many of his performances, Li Yi seems to be a man without desire. But sometimes, the obsession expressed from Li Yi made people shudder.
It was as if Li Yi had just talked about the identity of the enemy and the enemy, and the outcome after the war. Although it is just a common sense, but through Li Yi's mouth, Bettina felt terrified in her heart.
Is this the real face of this man? Bettina can't answer any of Li Yi's questions now, she can only keep asking herself questions in her heart.
In fact, these alone cannot be said that Li Yi is a cold-blooded person. Li Yi's world is very simple, nothing more than doing things with his own preferences and intuition, killing decisively. One person or one thing, good is good, bad is bad. If you like it, you will naturally take care of it. And if you don’t like it, even if the other person doesn’t have much hatred against him, as long as the other person stands on the opposite side, then Li Yi doesn’t mind shooting, letting him disappear into this world.
Although such a world is a bit violent and unreasonable, it is also straightforward. Such a person is easy to offend people, but at the same time it is also easy to make a connection. Although a few people around Li Yi didn't say anything, in fact, a few of them, in the bottom of their hearts, very much recognized Li Yi.
Although Li Yi met Bettina before coming to the southern part of Say, but because the time together is not very long after all. And Li Yi is not the kind of person who likes to show himself, so Bettina has not been very familiar with Li Yi.
So when Li Yi showed her decisiveness in front of Bettina today, Bettina would be a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the expression on Bettina's face, Li Yi was stunned. However, recalling the words he just said and the killing skills that unconsciously worked when he was speaking, Li Yi guessed that it should be the kind of heavy murderousness in his body, which made Bettina a little uncomfortable.
Apologizing and smiling at Bettina, Li Yi asked awkwardly, "What's the matter, Bettina? Is what I just said made you uncomfortable?"
After hearing Li Yi's questioning, Bettina woke up from the stunned just now. After awkwardly playing with her hair, Bettina said with a smile: "It didn't feel uncomfortable, that is, when you were talking, the momentum from the body was a little scary. But I have to say that what you just said is very reasonable, As enemies, if we do not continue to chase when the other side is defeated, then they will definitely come back to harass us after they rest in the future. If we don’t cut the grass, we will leave ourselves with a serious problem."
Seeing Bettina saying this, Li Yi knew she was awake. So after Li Yi smiled proudly, he continued to say to Bettina: "You can think of it this way. In fact, I did not expect that we could get such a big victory last night. Originally, my plan was that as long as we Can weaken their strength to a certain extent, and at the same time allow our soldiers to vent their anger. In this way, when we continue to adhere to the city, it will naturally be easier. But I did not expect the result to be so gratifying. This result really gave us a happy worry." Speaking of which, Li Yi couldn't help showing a bitter smile.
Seeing Li Yi, Bettina was shocked again. In the previous second, Li Yi exuded terrifying murderousness all the time, but in a blink of an eye, when Li Yi spoke, he behaved like a weak scholar. Such a big contrast made Bettina feel that she could not understand Li Yi.
But this time, Bettina did not stun, but asked Li Yi with a smile: "What is happiness trouble, is it not good for us to win a big victory."
"Victory is a good thing, but I did not expect that victory came so violently. We have not only simply weakened their strength, but have already defeated the enemy. You also said that the current Pers Corps, if If their leader still has a sense of reason, then they will inevitably choose to withdraw their troops. This is an opportunity, they are actually riding a tiger now. In the face of the creek city, they have no power to snatch. But if they want to withdraw their troops, why not? It's so simple to leave." Li Yi said lightly, but unintentionally, his body revealed a trace of killing intention.
"You mean, when they retire, we should choose to chase after victory?" Bettina is no longer stupid. After Li Yi said so much, Bettina also understood what Li Yi said.
Before Li Yi said that weeding should be eradicated, and then he kept mentioning the retreat of the Perth Army. It seems that Li Yi really intends to make the Perth Corps who dare to challenge the authority of the Yanlong Legion all stay in Xicheng.
"My thoughts are like this. After two days of siege failure, the Perth Army was hit by our night. It was so hard. If their troops can still maintain a strong fighting power, then I can only say that their The personality of the leader is really amazing. So, in the face of such a group of soldiers who have completely lost their fighting spirit, as long as we continue to pursue when they retreat, then I dare not say that they can destroy them, but at least It can also cause them to bleed again." Li Yi said with a smile, Li Yi at this time seemed to be talking about a light and light thing.
"But after last night's battle, our Yanlong Legion was also badly hurt. Let's not talk about those soldiers who have been killed, that is, those who can come back alive after a night of blood fighting, they are already exhausted. I want them. It seems to be a little difficult to restore the peak fighting power in a short time." Although Betina is also very interested in the beating of the water dog, Bettina can only shake her head regretfully considering the situation of the Yanlong Legion soldiers.
The problem that Li Yi had been troubled before was exactly what Betina was worried about now. Although the Yanlong Legion won a big victory last night, after all, it was an overnight battle. At this time, all the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion need to rest. It may be okay if they are allowed to insist on defending the city, but if they are allowed to march out of the city and chase the enemy, then it is really difficult for some strongmen.
And the troop troop in Li Yi’s hand, the cavalry regiment brought from Lingcheng, although there were not many casualties after last night’s battle, they were all extremely exhausted. When returning to the city before, Li Yi found that some of the war horses in the army had already shown their fatigue, not to mention those heavy cavalry who had slashed the enemy cavalry all night.
After thinking about it, Li Yi found that it was no longer possible to find an army capable of exerting amazing fighting power in Xicheng.
And the result of this is that although the Persian Legion is also the end of the crossbow, if they choose to withdraw their troops immediately. Then the Yanlong Legion really can only watch them retreat, even if they want to forcibly chase out of the city, then it is estimated that it can not cause much damage to the enemy, at most it can play a harassing role, or even because of corruption. The gong was incurred, and the troops who forced the chase out of the city suffered heavy losses.
Having figured this out, Li Yi can only sigh helplessly like Bettina. It seems that it is really a bit too sleepy to try to kill everything.
Li Yi was able to have this idea because of an experience. When the Sai Empire attacked the fortress in China, the Sai Empire chose to retreat because it could not be attacked for a long time. But at that time, among the strongholds of China, millions of troops of the Tianlan Empire were hoarded. Although in the past, when defending the fortress, the troops of the Tianlan Empire also suffered a lot. But after all, there are millions of soldiers in the Chinese fortress. Seeing the enemy receding, Lieutenant General Luo Ning immediately thought of chasing after victory. And he had this idea, and his troops did have this strength. Only when this condition is established at the same time, the idea of ​​beating down the water dog can be truly implemented.
Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seems that his strength is too thin after all. Many times, many ideas cannot be realized, not just for personal reasons. It may also be because the outside conditions do not allow that many ideas are stranded.
From this, Li Yi suddenly thought that the strength of the Tianlan Empire is far beyond his own. It seems that there is really a long way to go to bring down the behemoth of the Tianlan Empire.
But even knowing the rough road ahead, Li Yi did not feel discouraged. After a little emotion, Li Yi's face again showed that iconic confident smile. Patted Bettina's shoulder with a sigh, Li Yi said with a smile: "Okay, now that we have no strength to fight anymore, then let them leave. After all, people have to know how to do their best. If it is too reluctant, it will be a big deal sooner or later."
Hearing Li Yi's words, Bettina was relieved. Many things cannot be forced. Since the situation of the Yanlong Army does not allow them to attack again, they can only accept this result frankly.
But just when Li Yi and Bettina both decided not to talk about the attack, they immediately ordered the troops to take a rest to wait for the next situation. Suddenly an officer hurried to Bettina and said to Bettina respectfully: "General, it's not good. The Perth Corps outside the city has quickly assembled its troops. At this moment, the soldiers are under the city and may attack at any time."
Hearing this news, not only did Bettina grow her mouth in surprise, but even Li Yi on the side expressed her surprise.
