Vol 2 Chapter 176:

Elena was very pretty, and she was already in her thirties, but now she still looks like a girl in seventeen or eighty-eight. So seeing her sister showing this rare little girl gesture, Bettina's tight face couldn't help but loosen, and then reached out and pinched Elena's nose, then slowly said: "Okay, I don't Annoy you. Hurry up and tell me what kind of news is what makes our female military division so confident."
Seeing that the angry sister was finally coaxed, Elena said with a sigh of relief: "Sister, do you know that this time the Tianlan Empire is conquering our Yanlong Legion, in fact, it is completely fighting a swollen face to become fat. Although they have a million troops, but because of the constant wars in the Tianlan Empire in recent years, and the corruption of domestic officials, and the nobility are mostly illegal and disorderly, the economy of the Tianlan Empire is not very optimistic. Because of this, the Tianlan Empire this time When soliciting us, there was a huge problem in their supply. We initially chose to give in, not to make their front line longer, and then put a huge burden on their supply. Did they After being hooked, the problem of supply is getting bigger and bigger. Did you know that the spies came to report a few days ago, and now the frontline troops of the Tianlan Empire have only enough food for them to use for more than ten days."
Hearing this news, Bettina couldn't help but smile. This is really the best news for the Yanlong Legion.
Although Bettina is not very good at tactics or something, she still knows this. After the war, the most feared thing in the army is the problem of grain and grass. The soldiers can't even fill their stomachs, so they are greedy for fighting heroically.
After seeing the smile on her sister’s face, Elena continued to smile and said,
The old thief of Luo Ning was planning to withdraw his troops after capturing Ram Fortress, because the troops of the Tianlan Empire are really too tired now. Now, coupled with the problem that grain and grass may be interrupted at any time, Luo Ning can only hope to postpone the war, and then come to conquer us when he is relieved. But General Li Yi suddenly appeared miraculously behind them Because of the destruction of General Li Yi, the Tianlan Empire’s already difficult supply problem was now more difficult. In this way, the frontline troops of the Tianlan Empire now have only one option, which is to forcibly attack Xicheng . If they can be attacked, all their problems can be solved. Our Xicheng is a well-known granary. Once it is overcome here, their grain problem is no longer a problem. And if we can’t deal with them If there is a check, then General Li Yi will not be a problem at all."
"So, you can be so sure that the Tianlan empire will come to attack our Xicheng, even if it is an adventure." Smiling at Elena, Bettina asked easily.
"Exactly, the Tianlan Empire could have another choice, but after all the elements that were beneficial to us appeared, the old thief of Luo Ning could only choose to take this risk. You know, in order to do this To the extent, we counted them from the beginning. In order not to make them suspicious, before we withdrew from Jingchuan province, I dared not order the troops to take all the grain and grass in the city. In doing so, I This is to make the grain issue of the Tianlan Empire appear again later, and it seems that the timing of their problem is very accurate. Another point is that our spies inserted in the emperor of the Tianlan Empire also played a great role. Now, the Kevin Emperor in the Tianlan Empire has no doubts about Lieutenant General Luo Ning. Lieutenant General Luo Ning now has only two choices. One is to take risks to attack Xicheng. Perhaps this will have a little life. It was the old guy who was struggling to inflict heavy damage on the troops and turned back to remove General Li Yi. Then even if the emperor of the Tianlan Empire resolutely ordered, Luo Ning would pull the troops back a certain distance. Although this can allow the troops of the Tianlan Empire There will be no disaster, but his old man’s official journey can be said to be over here, and it is very likely that he will be killed.
Elena said the more relaxed the tone, speaking of her at the end, watching her It looks as if everything she said has happened.
But hearing this, Bettina finally finally understood the current situation thoroughly.
Based on their understanding of Luo Ning's veteran veteran, Luo Ning will inevitably choose not to admit defeat, and in the end may return to China for punishment. Since someone who wants to win over him in his life has already seen the current situation, how can he be reconciled without fighting hard.
Having figured it all out, Bettina couldn't help but think of another problem. That is, if the Tianlan Empire conquered the Yanlong Legion this time, it was not that Li Yi suddenly said such a strategy, and that there were talented people like her sister Elena who planned from it. Therefore, he was completely removed from the Shengyuan Continent.
Thinking of the kind of situation that might occur, Bettina couldn't help but show a firm expression on her face, no matter what, since the situation has now begun to develop in favor of the Yanlong Legion. Then you must do your best to maintain this advantage. Perhaps after this battle, the Yanlong Army can really go north in one fell swoop, not only can you recover all the previous lost ground, but you may even take advantage of the strength of the Tianlan Empire. When it was insufficient, he conquered King Sena with a dash of effort. By then, the territory north of King Sena was not all in the pockets of the Flame Dragon Legion.
If you can do that, then you can achieve the real restoration of the country, not like it is now. Although the Yanlong Legion has already announced that they have established the Say Empire again, but in fact, the whole continent People don’t think that the Yanlong Legion can truly be called an empire if it only occupies a south of Sai.
In this case, it is even less likely to be called an empire. Today, there is only one China-Pakistan province left in the Yanlong Legion, and it has developed to the very beginning.
So now the Yanlong Legion must hold on to the attack of the Tianlan Empire. Only when defending the fierce attack of the Tianlan Empire can the Yanlong Legion begin their counterattack.
Of course, Bettina also knows that no matter what the future development is, the most important thing right now is to think about how to resist the attack of the Tianlan Empire.
Bettina knows that if Lieutenant General Luo Ning sees the predicament in front of her, she will inevitably address all the problems to their men. Because at this time, only by using the principle that the mourning soldiers must lose can their troops get rid of their now exhausted posture. Because if they are not so desperate now, then waiting for them can only be the battlefield.
In this case, this time the siege of the Tianlan Empire will inevitably be fierce. Although the Yanlong Legion made all the preparations before, Betina asked herself that it is impossible for the Yanlong Legion to have a 100% chance of winning.
But when Bettina said her thoughts and quickly pulled Elena to start preparing for the deployment of the fortification plan, Elena looked at Betina with a smile, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Sister, What are you in a hurry, do you think that we have won this time?"
Hearing Elena’s words, Bettina couldn’t help but frown, and then said to Elena with a slightly dissatisfied tone:
Sister, don’t underestimate the enemy. For example, today the Lan Empire and our fortified troops are almost the same, if they attack If we do, we may really fail. Don’t take it lightly and quickly set up a fortress."
Hearing Bettina's words, Elena knew that Bettina really thought so now. Knowing this, Elena smiled and said to Bettina: "Sister, I am not underestimating the enemy, but we really have the certainty that we will win. Don't you forget, do we still have a trick. "
Hearing this, Bettina couldn't help but froze for a long time, and then said to Elena helplessly: "I don't remember, we still have any dark chess, all the conspiracies and tricks we can use."
Seeing her sister being so careless, Elena shook her head in annoyance, and then blinked to Betina: "Sister, don't you forget that when we attacked the unfavorable city of Sena, we withdrew in advance 200,000 troops?"
"Huh? This... ah, I remembered. At that time, you urged to send the troops to retreat first, and then our large troops retreated back to the southern part of Say. It was just that we did not send them directly to Xicheng at that time. If it weren’t for saving such a combat power before, we might not have so many troops now.
After hearing Elena’s words, Bettina said for a long time that she suddenly realized.
I just saw that my sister reacted so slowly, and so careless about the deployment of the Yanlong Army. After Elena shook her head helplessly, she smiled and said to Bettina: "My sister, don't you forget? Then, when we retreated, didn’t I dispatch these troops to the front again. Later, I reapplyed the tricks to hide them.

Hearing Elena’s reminder, Bettina pondered again for a long time before she suddenly realized:
Ah, I remembered it. Later, when you were about to collapse in Ning’anxing province, you transferred 100,000 troops from the army. , And gave them enough food at the time, I remember, you put them in the Takaro Mountains."
After seeing her sister realize it twice, she remembered the situation now. Elena could only helpless and helpless. Her sister was not suitable to be the commander of the army after all. Hundreds of thousands of troops, this is not a small number, but my sister said that if you forget, you will forget it. If all this had been arranged by Bettina, until now, I still don't think about arranging the next order for the troops, then this team of people is not starving to death.
But after frustration, Elena did not blame her sister too much. After all, Elena knew that her sister had carelessness, and now Bettina said that she was in charge of the army, but Elina knew that Bettina’s real thoughts Still put on cultivation. Whether it is for the future stability of the Sai Empire or a cultivator's desire for strength, Bettina's pursuit of the peak of martial arts has never been broken.
So Elena just pretended to look at Bettina with a grudge, and then she said, "That is the army I had installed there early on, and even the old thief Luo Ning, even if he was a traitor, could not even imagine that we I will bury such a team of people next to them. Originally, I planned to let these people rush out of the Takaro Mountains in the final battle. They have been resting since the beginning of the war. Now their unit can It is our biggest force on the battlefield. Nowadays, General Li Yi has descended from the sky, which undoubtedly makes my dark tricks even more powerful. I have communicated the order a few days ago, I think if If there is nothing unexpected, now that army and General Li Yi's army should have merged."
Hearing this, Bettina couldn't help but be blessed, and what Betina was most worried about was that despite the terrible situation of the Tianlan Empire, after all, she hadn't reached the point where she was forced into desperation. If the troops of the Tianlan Empire really went crazy and attacked Xicheng at all costs, then could Xicheng finally hold on to the city?
But now I heard that I have not only Li Yi's support army but also ambush troops of 100,000 troops. Under the two circumstances, the danger of Xicheng has been reduced to the lowest point this time.
With an excited expression on her face, Bettina said to Elena with great pleasure: "Ah, as you said, there should already be more than one hundred thousand of us in the rear of the Tianlan Empire. If Li Yi Generals, they can go south and drive straight into here. Then don’t we have the advantage of hitting the Tianlan Empire back and forth."
Hearing that her sister had such a whimsical idea, Elena shook it slightly, and then smiled and said to Betina: "Sister, marching is not such a simple thing at all, although now I dominate the situation , But after all, the Tianlan Empire still has a lot of advantages. That is, after all, the Tianlan Empire has fully occupied our city. Although General Li Yi has over 100,000 troops there, he wants to let the army commanders drive straight in. It’s hard for some strongmen to come to solve the danger of Xicheng. General Li Yi, the only thing they can do now is, don’t act rashly and deliberately come to support Xicheng. Instead, they should do everything in the Tianlan Empire. The rear creates chaos, makes the soldiers feel panic, and the rear supply troops are hit. As long as this situation can be maintained, and it is not surrounded by the troops of the Tianlan Empire, this is already the greatest help for our side."
Listening to Elena's explanation, Bettina finally woke up from the joy just now. Yes, the Tianlan Empire was still under the condition of the continuous release of water by the Yanlong Army, and it took half a year to get from Ning'an Province to Zhongba Province. Although the number of Li Yi's troops is quite large today, it pales in comparison with the one million troops of the Tianlan Empire at that time. Therefore, Li Yi's troops are expected to cause trouble for the Tianlan Empire in the rear, and it is still okay to form a restraint. If Li Yi is expected to be able to fly over to rescue Xicheng from Jingchuan Province, which is thousands of miles away, it would be really difficult. If Li Yi can do it, unless Li Yi is a goddess, otherwise it is best not to expect this.
But Bettina thought about it, thinking that Li Yi could continue to contain the frontline troops of the Tianlan Empire behind the Tianlan Empire. This alone was enough to make Xicheng's pressure suddenly drop.
