Vol 2 Chapter 177:

After all the worries were resolved, Bettina gave Elena a smile, and then said with joy: "Okay, sister, you can sit here safely, and your sister is not as good as you, But in battle, my sister will not be underestimated by you. No matter what happens in the future, it is a fact that the Tianlan Empire is now attacking us. As the commander of the whole army, I should go to the city and fight alongside our soldiers. Wait for us News of victory, my good sister."
After Bettina finished speaking, she turned around and left the castle.
But after Bettina left, Elena was stunned and sat on the seat for a long time. Because the two sisters Elena and Betina have been together ten years ago in the province of China and Pakistan. Although the two sisters have an excellent relationship, Elena has never seen her sister as happy as she is today.
Just when Bettina was studying the situation with Elena, she was still frowning, but in a blink of an eye, Bettina suddenly turned into a smile. And before leaving, it is very rare to call Elena a good sister.
Listening to such a title, Elena couldn't help laughing after she got a goose bump. Bettina can have the relaxed attitude just now, isn't it because of the difficult problem that has been difficult to solve all the time, will there finally be a landing today?
Thinking of this, Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the eyes of outsiders, the image of their two sisters is basically two female gods of war. One is the God of War in power wars, and the other is the God of War in wisdom wars. It's just that no matter how outsiders look at their two sisters, in fact aside all the nicknames, these two are just women. It is just these two women, but they are suitable for the size of the Yanlong Legion for more than ten years. With their two broad shoulders, they supported the sky of the Yanlong Legion.
At the beginning of the defeat in the battle of King Seine, and then when the Tianlan Empire dispatched a million troops to conquer the Yanlong Legion, the unseasonable Barak was suddenly shocked on the spot. If it were not because of Betina and Elena, whether the Yanlong Legion could compete for the entire Sai South border was a problem, not to mention to contend with the Celestial Empire in order to report the hatred of annihilation.
Now, after such a long time of endurance, enduring the provocation of the enemy, and enduring the incomprehension of his staff, after so many experiences, it is finally time for a battle that can raise your eyebrows and exhale. And all the signs indicate that the winning chance of the Yanlong Legion is very large.
With such a result, how could the two sisters not feel happy.
Sitting stunned in the main mansion of Xicheng, Elena was in a daze for a while, recalling the rare smile when her sister was leaving, Elena smiled sweetly, and even looked at her, relying on the comfortable On the chair, it seemed that he was asleep.
Elena is really tired. She hopes that after her awakening, she can hear the news that the Yanlong Legion has defeated the Tianlan Empire. Although he knew that this was impossible, Elena deceived herself once, and then ran away from everything and fell asleep.
In this defensive battle, Elena didn't need any more tricks. Although Bettina is not handsome, she is a very competent general. Under the situation that the strength of the two sides is almost the same, Bettina's army is firmly holding a city with a very strong defensive force, which is more than enough.
When Bettina hurried out of the city's main palace and rushed to the walls of Xicheng, the officers of the Yanlong Corps had already begun to command the soldiers of the Yanlong Corps, and they were guarding the city with all their might.
Seeing that her commander, Betina, had also personally climbed into the city, these soldiers of the Dragon Dragon Legion, who had been holding their breath for a long time to prepare to fight with the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire, suddenly became more morale. Under the command of the officers of Bettina and the Yanlong Legion, the defense of Xicheng can be said to be solid. Regardless of how he attacked the Tianlan Empire, he never took advantage of the Yanlong Legion.
When the Yanlong Army and the main force of the Tianlan Empire battled Xicheng, Li Yi, far away to the north, was also leading his troops at this time, arrogantly rushing across the defense line of the Tianlan Empire.
Li Yi's idea is simple, and of course it is also very clear. Although one day ago, Li Yi led the troops together with a group of the Yanlong Legion, but Li Yi did not become self-confident because of the sharp increase in his current strength.
Although Li Yi now leads his troops to wander the rear of the Tianlan Empire, Li Yi knows that even if it is behind the Tianlan Empire, there are not many troops in the Tianlan Empire.
In Sayyin province of Nuovo, almost every city has more or less troops from the Tianlan Empire. In dozens of cities, nearly 400,000 troops of the Tianlan Empire were scattered. Although after the division of troops, the strength of each city could not be able to compete with the strength of Li Yi's hands, but who knows if there is a powerful general behind the Tianlan Empire. If someone in the Tianlan empire broke the ship, gathered the scattered forces together, and then tried to wipe out Li Yi’s troops, then Li Yi was relatively difficult to do.
So after converging with the 100,000 armies of the Yanlong Legion, Li Yi finally made the most correct choice after analyzing the distribution of his current forces.
Among the troops led by Li Yi, the number of cavalry has been replenished to as much as 50,000 due to the joining of another group of soldiers and horses of the Yanlong Army. The rest are infantry, and there are nearly 80,000.
After analyzing the situation of his own troops, Li Yi and the situation of the division of troops in the skyland empire in the south of Sai, he decided to lead this team to be mainly based on harassment. This time, Li Yi was ruthless and wanted to give the Tianlan Empire a ruthless one.
First of all, Li Yi led 50,000 cavalry and began to harass in Jingchuan province. As long as one of the cities is found, the defense force of the Tianlan Empire is very small, and Li Yi will wield the army and take the city directly. The 80,000 infantry army, although unable to achieve the same speed as the cavalry, but in the tough battle, they are the main supply power.
To be honest, Li Yi now does not have a complete plan in mind. Because the current situation in the southern part of Sai is fundamentally different from the usual situation. Moreover, Li Yi knew nothing about the defensive strength of each city. When he could not know the enemy's situation at all, Li Yi did not dare to formulate a battle plan before the war.
Now Li Yi is taking the troops one step at a time, and Li Yi has only one rule in his mind, then he must not give the Tianlan Empire a joint force to encircle and suppress himself.
In every battle, Li Yi advocated quick battles and quick decisions, and Li Yi, who won the city, did not occupy it. After taking out the grain from the city and enough troops to use it for a while, Li Yi would distribute the grain to many of the city because of the war. And refugees who have become displaced.
After this battle, Li Yi also discovered a problem. That was the troops of the Tianlan Empire this time, and they had completely different views from them.
When Li Yi was in the Central Army, although it was not very long, large and small also fought many battles with the Central Army. Whether it is to destroy the Vanessa rebels in the Celestial Empire, or to expedite the Sai Empire with the Celestial Empire, in many battles, after the Celestial Empire has won and occupied the city, the soldiers in the Celestial Empire troops It is simply impossible for some people to violate military discipline.
At that time, the troops of the Tianlan Empire had strict military discipline, even when they were conquering the Say Empire, after they occupied the city, they were not harmful to the people. At most, the officer ordered to loot the belongings of some nobles and rich people in the city.
But looking at it now, Li Yi was quite surprised by the troops of the Tianlan Empire.
Every time Li Yi captured a city that was captured by the Tianlan Empire earlier, when he entered the city, he could hear about the Tianlan soldiers doing harm to the people.
When the residents in the south of Sai heard that Li Yi was an officer of the Yanlong Corps, they all thought that the Yanlong Corps finally defeated the Tianlan Empire and then waved their troops north to come to recover the lost ground. So whenever Li Yi entered the city, he would hear someone complaining to him.
Among the residents of the south of Sai, the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire were simply demons and servants. They not only ransacked property, but also harmed the people and ruined human lives. In just half a year, the southern part of Sai was occupied by the Tianlan Empire, and it was already smoldered by the Tianlan Empire.
Until now, these residents know how good the Yanlong Legion has been for them over the years. Now that I saw Li Yi attacking the city and captured it. Not only did he not commit any crime against the people, but he also opened warehouses to release grain, and gathered people who could not survive.
All kinds of good deeds not only allowed the Yanlong Legion to make a deep mark in the hearts of these people, but also made Li Yi's prestige unmatched for a while.
Many men who have been displaced by war and hate the bones of the Tianlan Empire have asked to join Li Yi’s army and want to fight with the Tianlan Empire’s troops to avenge their dead family members.
Although Li Yi can understand the feelings of these people, he dare not take them in. Although most of the volunteers are young people, Li Yi does not believe that these people who only want to join the army because of hatred can play a large battle on the battlefield.
First, Li Yi couldn't distribute weapons to them. If they were just letting them fight with a hammer in their heads, it would be tantamount to letting them die. Second, Li Yi originally had a large number of infantry men, which greatly reduced the maneuverability of the troops. If these militias need to be tempered and taken care of, Li Yi feels that it is even more difficult to make a big mess here. It's harder.
Therefore, Li Yi finally refused the demands of these people.
But Li Yi will not give up this good opportunity. He used the hatred of these people to the Tianlan Empire. Although he did not absorb these people into his troops, he came up with a more ingenious way to let these People help themselves.
That is the northern part of the entire southern border of Sai, we all know that there is a force of the Fire Dragon Legion rampaging here. So for a while, many cities have fallen.
The fall of the city will inevitably lead to the appearance of refugees. On the trend of Li Yi, most of the refugees began to take refuge in other cities. These refugees did not go out just to take refuge. These refugees who went out to take refuge were all willing to risk taking refuge because they hated the Tianlan Empire.
These refugees were scattered in various directions and took refuge in different cities. After entering the city, some false news will be announced. For example, they are clearly refugees in Wu'an City, but they tend to say that they are refugees in Lingcheng. But at this time, the tomb was still in the hands of the Tianlan Empire.
However, regardless of whether the news is true or not, it has caused considerable pressure on the local defenders and caused many misjudgments to their officers.
Taking advantage of this psychological warfare, Li Yi fought in the north of Sai's southern border. The troops of the Tianlan Empire couldn't tell where Li Yi was fighting and where he was after the fight.
All the troops of the Celestial Empire in the southern part of Sai began to panic. The war was not over, but these Celestial soldiers began to be timid without fighting.
"Master, the enemy's offensive has begun to appear weak. Should we take the initiative to attack?" Above the city wall of Xicheng, an officer of the Yanlong Legion wiped the blood from his face and looked at him. He excitedly said to Bettina.
Hearing this proposal from his men, Bettina wanted to nod her head in her heart, but when she thought of the fact that the soldiers were not defrauded, Bettina couldn't help but put away her contempt for the siege troops of the Tianlan Empire.
After a careful inspection of the battles on the battlefield, Bettina pondered for a while before speaking to her men: "Don't be careless. After all, the thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the Tianlan Empire is now attacking. The city was blocked, not a complete collapse, let alone, we could not determine whether the old thief of Luo Ning would desperately put the left-behind troops in the rear to the front to fight us desperately. We first took full control of the advantage, and then we sought a chance to fight back. ."
Although Bettina's decision is very conservative, but at this time, as the head of the entire army, she can only make such a conservative decision. After all, Bettina knew very clearly that she carried the survival of the entire Yanlong Legion on her shoulders. If at this time she was just as desperate as her men just wanting to beat the falling dog of the Tianlan Invaders, then maybe an irrational decision would lead to the failure of the Yanlong Legion.
In order to wait for the best fighters, the Yanlong Legion has endured for more than half a year, and has taken such a large risk that it has taken the initiative to pay so much territory. Only now has it finally seen the dawn of victory. So although Elena did not stand at the head of the city to supervise the battle with Bettina, Bettina was still able to give the most correct command calmly and calmly.
Now, nine days have passed since Luo Ning led the last main force of the Tianlan Empire to attack Xicheng. During these nine days, both the army of the Tianlan Empire and the soldiers of the Yanlong Corps experienced a very severe test.
Bettina was right in the previous sentence. The thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse. Don’t look at the fact that after the Yanlong Legion arranged such a celestial net, the army of the Tianlan Empire had already fallen into a very difficult situation. But when the troops of the Lan Empire began to attack Xicheng that day, the Yanlong Legion still saw the bravery of the soldiers of the Tian Lan Empire.
In nine days, the offensive of the Tianlan Empire never stopped. Even two days before the war, the Tianlan Empire took advantage of the strong morale and launched two sneak attacks and two strong attacks at night. Although these offensives were all disintegrated by the Yanlong Legion, their fierce fighting style still allowed the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion of the current army to play a twelve-point spirit. .
