Vol 2 Chapter 166:

Seeing this, Bettina could only look in her eyes, anxiously. For the final victory, Bettina can only bear now. As long as she feels she can control the army for a day, Bettina will try to lead the army of the Celestial Empire deep into the southern part of Say.
The only thing that pleased Betina was that although the soldiers of her own unit were dissatisfied with their tactics, they were the soldiers they brought out with one hand. Until now, Bettina’s orders were still very intimidating in the Yanlong Legion of.
At the same time, because of Lien Chan and Lian Jie, the army of the Tianlan Empire also became radical.
Bettina is forbearing. She knows that as long as she is patient, the balance of victory will start to lean towards the Yanlong Legion.
"Father, bless me, bless your people." While leading the army to flee, Bettina looked up at the sky, murmured prayers against the sun.
"Damn, it's possible to walk out of this terrible mountain. Head, I hope we can retreat this time, otherwise we will be sorry that we have traversed such a mountain range for thousands of miles." At the foot of the mountain, a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the Yanlong Army officer looked back at the endless mountains behind him, and said to a handsome man with a big mouth.
This person naturally followed Li Yi through the mountains and over the mountains, cleverly escaped the blockade of King Seine, and successfully rushed to Mel on the territory of the Lan Empire today.
The handsome man standing next to Mel was naturally the commander of this unit, Li Yi.
Listening to his own complaints, Li Yi did not really care. Because although Mel always raised his hands in favor of his decision, this time it took Li Yi nearly a month to cross the entire road of the Tai Cairo Mountains. Rao is a firm-minded person like Mel, and can't help complaining to Li Yi.
So when Li Yi and their troops all walked out of the Takaro Mountains, although Mel said a few words of dissatisfaction, Li Yi only regarded it as a way for Mel to vent. In fact, it is exactly the same. In fact, Mel actually saw that he finally saw the plain after a lot of hard work. The excitement in his heart didn't know how to vent, so he could only say such a few crude words instinctively.
But although this is just a whistle-blowing statement from Mel, it is actually Mel's truth. Although Mel is not afraid of death, he is only one person after all. If you can live well, no one will be willing to choose death.
As Li Yi's attention and support, Mel knew that this time he secretly followed Li Yi to the enemy's rear hinterland. Although he had successfully taken the first step, Mel knew that the next battle must be Very dangerous. Even if Mel’s strength is not bad now, but he is not sure, he will be able to retreat in a thousand troops.
And Meier is like this, so the cavalry who followed Li Yi thousands of miles here, just ordinary soldiers, after this sneak attack, it is unknown whether the people who can follow Li Yi back to them can exceed 1,000 people. .
That's why Mel sighed with emotion from his heart when he set foot on the plain again. This sentence is both emotion and a blessing for myself and the brothers who came with me. This rugged man, after he set foot on the territory of the Tianlan Empire again, the deep fear of the Tianlan Empire deep in his heart immediately emerged.
However, as the leader of this force and the initiator of this operation, Li Yi naturally knew that after Meier's emotion, Meier said something like this, thinking in his heart what.
However, although Li Yi was also full of guilt in his heart, Li Yi knew that if he did not do this, then the Yanlong Legion wanted to win this time, but it was really difficult.
In order to minimize the sacrifice of the Yanlong Legion, Li Yi can only barely provoke this burden, leading his brothers to come to this piece of land is almost at risk.
Mo said if they would win when they collided with the troops of the Tianlan Empire, even if they could really win all the way, it would be impossible for them to attack the Imperial Capital of the Tianlan Empire in the end. In fact, it's impossible for them to break through the defense of China Fortress.
Therefore, when Li Yi set foot on this land, everyone knew that if they wanted to leave alive, there were only three ways.
The first is that they can go all the way north and successfully kill the emperor capital of the Tianlan Empire. Destroy the defenders who stayed in the Tianlan empire, capture or kill the newly raised Kevin the Great. If this is the case, then they can not only save their lives, but also be the greatest heroes of the Sai Empire. But as long as there is a sane person who knows, the possibility of this happening is zero.
And the second possibility is that Li Yi and their troops caused huge troubles in the rear of the Tianlan Empire and successfully restrained the troops of the Tianlan Empire. At the same time, the Yanlong Legion also successfully counterattacked after the Forbearance. In this way, the two armies attacked the troops of the Tianlan Empire head and tail. When the two troops converged, it was time for them to be safe. However, the possibility of this situation is still very small.
The last possibility is that Li Yi and their team really succeeded in restraining the defenders of the Tianlan Empire here, but after all, they are not capable enough, and they must eventually retreat. Behind them, however, there is a huge fortress-the blocking of King Seine. They wanted to return to the southern part of Sai and converge with the large forces, only to pass through the city of King Seine. And to achieve this, the possibility of success is still very small.
There are only three ways to save lives, but no matter which one, whether theoretical or practical, it is impossible. Therefore, the people in this army now basically foresee their future destiny.
However, these soldiers are really good-looking men. Their armed forces are not necessarily the strongest, and their equipment is not necessarily the most sophisticated. Even their horses are nothing but the most ordinary horses. None of their own conditions can compare with the defenders of the Tianlan Empire, but they knew they were going to participate in a mortal battle, but they still followed Li Yi without turning back.
With this alone, they can afford the title of hero.
Today, this cavalry team is not all the team led by Li Yi.
Most of the 50,000 horses brought by Li Yi are the horses of the Yanlong Legion. They are not the elite divisions that Mel brought from the tomb.
The reason is very simple. The first reason is that Li Yi did not want the elite troops that Mersin worked so hard to bury in the Tianlan Empire.
The second is because Li Yi knew that the cavalry unit brought out by Mel was an elite division, but if they knew they were going to participate in a dangerous battle, then the morale for this elite unit , It will certainly cause no small impact. In this case, it is better to leave most of them in the Flame Dragon Legion, and follow Bettina to fight and retreat. When the Flame Dragon Army wants to fight back, they can still play their biggest role.
Based on these two factors, Li Yi and Bettina decided together that most of the troops to carry out this sneak attack mission were selected from inside the Yanlong Legion.
The selected warrior does not have to be the strongest, but it must be the most loyal to the original Sai Empire. With their enthusiasm for the dying empire, when they are in desperation, they will exert their greatest fighting power.
Therefore, only this group of 50,000 death squads will now appear behind Li Yi. Their goal is only one, that is, when they are fighting with the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire on the battlefield, as long as they can kill one more soldier before they die, then the brothers in the distance will have less in the future. One point of pressure.
With such an attitude, the people went through all the hardships and difficulties, and finally it took more than a month to successfully cross the seemingly impossible to cross the Takaro Mountains.
Immediately after the troops walked out of the Takaro Mountains, Li Yi was not very familiar with the environment, so he ordered the troops to take a rest first. Then sent a few teams to scout out the news, scouts go back and forth, also spent a day.
When Li Yi knew that he had not only successfully traversed the Takaro Mountains with his troops, but also really arrived at Bada Province, the weakest defensive force behind the Tianlan Empire, as previously budgeted, Li Yi Still a little excited.
After determining the current situation, Li Yi knew that the long harassment battle would begin.
But when Li Yi was about to order the army to be promoted, there was a scout who came from a distance and hurriedly rushed over. After reaching Li Yi, the scout turned over and dismounted, eagerly saying to Li Yi: "General Li Yi, ten miles ahead There are a large number of enemy troops, and the number of enemy troops is estimated to be around 20,000."
Hearing the scout report, Li Yi's brow furrowed. It stands to reason that Li Yi now leads his troops to the province of Bada away from the city of King Seine. Not only is there thousands of miles away from King Seine, but also there is a Danfeng province in between. According to this situation, there should not be many defenders here.
And even if there are 20,000 or 30,000 defenders stationed here, it will definitely not travel on such a large scale outside the city.
Could it be that his whereabouts have been exposed? Just came here and was discovered by the Tianlan Empire, so they sent troops to prepare to destroy us? Looking at the distance, Li Yi thought curiously.
But soon Li Yi also rejected this idea, because if the whereabouts of the troops led by Li Yi were really discovered by the Tianlan Empire. So what awaits them cannot be just about 20,000 enemy soldiers.
In this case, this suddenly emerged army of the Tianlan Empire really made it difficult for Li Yi to figure out why they were here.
What makes Li Yi more embarrassing now is that, according to his original assumption, although he has a force of 50,000 soldiers, and this force is all cavalry. According to the fighting power of Li Yi's troops, it is not impossible to destroy the 20,000 troops of the Tianlan Empire.
But Li Yi, after all, they are now mainly preparing for a sneak attack. Li Yi doesn't want to face a decisive battle with the troops of the Tianlan Empire. If one is accidentally dragged by the other party, the one waiting for Li Yi may be boundlessly entangled.
So after hearing the news of encountering 20,000 Tianlan Imperial troops just after arriving in Bada Province, Li Yi hesitated. In the end is to fight or avoid, Li Yi needs to make a choice quickly.
But when Li Yi hesitated, another scout from the Flame Dragon Legion came quickly in the distance.
"The leader of the report found that the unit of the Tianlan Empire was not a real combat unit. Of the 20,000 horses, only a few were equipped with weapons, and the other soldiers were all grass soldiers. This unit should only be an to the front-line units. The transport force of the food and grass, Ying Ying is not very strong." After the scout came to Li Yi, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and said to Li Yi with a smile. Because this scout was the old man who followed Li Yi in the Sena City, when he talked with Li Yi, he still called Li Yi the head of the team according to his previous habit.
After hearing the news of his old man, Li Yi's frowned eyebrows were finally released, and his face was relaxed.
It's really nowhere to break through iron shoes. This time, I wanted to contain the troops of the Tianlan Empire behind the Tianlan Empire, but to do this, it was the best choice to destroy the enemy's food supply.
Li Yi, who was originally afraid of the large number of enemy forces, now hears the Tanma report that the other party is just a transport force. Li Yi immediately began to figure out how to destroy this transport force.
The transport force is the enemy Li Yi wants to meet most, because fighting with the transport force is not only extremely dangerous, but also has great hopes of winning. And as long as the opponents who can fight are eliminated, those foragers need not be considered at all. At the same time, the elimination of the enemy's transport troops can not only cause huge losses to the opponent's grain supply, but also solve the problem of the supply of their own troops.
You know, Li Yi led the troops out this time. Therefore, there are very few food and grass belts in this unit, and there are no transport troops in the whole unit. So now seeing that he has just arrived here, the Tianlan Empire has presented such a big gift, how can it not make Li Yi happy.
After the excitement, Li Yi immediately ordered the troops to gather, look for favorable terrain here, and prepare to ambush this transport unit of the Tianlan Empire.
Because Li Yi had estimated that the place where they lay was a necessary place for the Tianlan Empire Transport Force. Therefore, Li Yi also set up an ambush here boldly, waiting for the Tianlan Army to take the initiative to enter the urn.
After a long wait, it was so long that even Meier beside Li Yi was a little drowsy, and the transport unit of the Tianlan Empire finally appeared at the vision of Li Yi and his men at a very slow speed. in.
"Mel, don't go to sleep, see you at this point. The enemy appears, prepare to meet the enemy." After seeing the appearance of the Tianlan Army, Li Yi was annoyed and pushed Mel next to him, whispering. .
After being awakened by Li Yi, after hearing Li Yi's words. Mel smirked, and then whispered to Li Yi: "Hey, let the leader laugh. It's just that the transport unit of the Tianlan Empire is really a evil door, but it's only ten miles away, not a mountain road. They walked for almost a day. If they can slow down, the Yanlong Legion will not have to fight the Tianlan Empire. You can drag them directly by dragging them, because they haven’t waited for the war, their dogs. , The miscellaneous mistresses have long starved to death."
