"Li Yi, have you finished the meeting?" As soon as he walked out of the tent, Alice immediately walked up to Li Yi and asked enthusiastically.
Li Yi was actually very curious. Why did Alice always appear at the first time when he finished the meeting and just walked out of the Central Army tent? Looking at Alice's smiling face, Li Yi indulgedly patted her forehead and said, "Well, I finally got to deal with those old guys."
"Hehe, I deserve it. This is the punishment you never play with me." Alice said playfully, holding her tenaciously.
"Haha, where is this?" Li Yi said with a smile. After saying that, he snatched tenacity from Alice and violently kneaded the fat face of the little panda.
"By the way, Li Yi, how are the veteran generals planning to arrange the subsequent war? Don't we attack the Senna Royal City?" After stopping Li Yi's "abuse" was invalid, Alice asked about the result of Li Yi's discussion in the big tent.
"Ah, the generals decided to avoid the Senna Royal City and take a detour to continue attacking the Sai Empire." Li Yi said to Alice while teasing tenaciously.
After only one day after the Tianlan Empire's millions of troops besieged the Senna Royal City, the Tianlan Empire's army did not attack and retreat. Hundreds of thousands of troops retreated to the territory they had captured. However, the Western legions did not follow the large forces to retreat together. Instead, under the cover of the large forces, they quietly detoured from other provinces, staggered the sight of the Senna Royal City, and continued to attack the depths of the Sai Empire.
Perhaps it was time to forget the Sai Empire. After half a month of trekking, the Western Legion finally successfully passed through the Guchi Mountains of the Sai Empire, successfully bypassed the Sena Royal City, and came to the Yazhuo Province of the Sai Empire.
Since then, the Tianlan Empire began to capture the Sai Empire. Because the Sai Empire had not expected that the Tianlan army would bypass the Sena Royal City and attack other provinces by detour. Therefore, the Sena Royal City summoned most of the national troops to the Sena Royal City, resulting in the current defense of other provinces being very weak. The Western Legion also obtained the concession of King Tianlan during this expedition, and brought a magic crystal cannon, striving to fight quickly when necessary, and not giving the Sai Empire a chance to breathe at all.
Under such fierce offensive by the Western Legion of the Tianlan Army, some other provinces of the Sai Empire announced their fall one after another, but the Western Legion, led by the commander of the Kane Legion, was not afraid that the Sai Empire would send reinforcements from the Senna Royal City and still led its own legion to continue to conquer the city.
King Tianlan did not return to the court because of the easing of the war. He still led his hundreds of thousands of troops to guard half of the already captured Sai Empire within the sphere of influence.
However, just when King Tianlan was looking at the good situation on the Sai Empire, bad news came from Yunluo Fortress in the north. The Atlan Empire took advantage of the Tianlan Empire's large-scale attack on the Sai Empire, and even sent a large army to siege Yunluo Fortress. Because King Tianlan took away a large number of domestic alternate troops when he was going to the governor of the Sai Empire. At this time, only the northern legions in Yunluo Fortress were stationed, and the troops began to appear a little stretched.
When King Tianlan heard the news of the Atlan Empire's invasion, although he was a little panicked, he returned to normal after a moment. Atlantic did not capture the Chinese fortress under such a great advantage. Atlantic's army attacked Yunluo Fortress, and it was not so easy to succeed.
However, although King Tianlan was not particularly nervous because of Atlan's invasion, it was a border emergency after all. Now on the side of the Sai Empire, the empire is stationed with a large number of imperial troops, which does not work at all. Instead, it also costs a lot of military expenditure, which makes King Tianlan a little unable to sit still.
Although Li Yi's proposal had been adopted before, and in the south of the Sai Empire, the Western Legion was also making great progress under the leadership of the commander of the Kane Legion. However, King Tianlan could not bear such delays again. On the third day after the news of the emergency at the border came, King Tianlan convened all officers of the division commander or above and held a military meeting.
This time, Li Yi said that he had no idea of attending the meeting again. Although Lieutenant General Luo Ning strongly invited him, Li Yi did not give Lieutenant General Luo Ning face, and used the excuse of needing to train the team and shirking off the opportunity to attend the meeting.
But Li Yi's seemingly careless refusal brought irreparable losses to his future life.
At the meeting, King Tianlan proposed the idea of immediately attacking the city of Senna. He sent someone to pass an order, telling the commander of the Cain to turn the direction of the attack, and turned around and began to attack the north gate of Senna. The 500,000 alternate corps brought by King Tianlan attacked from the front and attacked the south gate.
"What about our Central Army?" After the meeting, Lieutenant General Luo Ning summoned some of his officers and began to arrange the subsequent war. At the meeting, Li Yi first asked about the whereabouts of the Central Army.
"Don't worry, we will not be transferred back to the country to participate in the defense of Yunluo Fortress. Your Majesty gave us the order to attack the west gate of the Senna Royal City. And Your Majesty promised all the magic crystal cannons to our Central Army. In the upcoming battle of the royal city, our Central Army is the real main force." At the meeting, Lieutenant General Luo Ning answered Li Yi's question with a smile.
When Lieutenant General Luo Ning's answer, Li Yi was not at ease, but became worried. Since he had an ominous premonition there a few days ago, Li Yi has been thinking about staying away from this place. But now, not only has he not stayed away, but the Central Army has assumed the responsibility of the main attack of the Battle of the Royal City. In fact, Li Yi is more willing to lead his Second Knights back to China to participate in the defense of Yunluo Fortress.
But now that King Tianlan has decided that this is the case, Li Yi is not openly disobeying. He can't run to King Tianlan now and say that he doesn't want to attack the Senna Royal City. The king asked himself why, and he couldn't say stupidly: "Well, I have an ominous premonition. And my premonition has always been very accurate, and I agreed to it when I was in the capital of Wu'an." Such nonsense, how could the king not agree to not take on the main attacker's duty.
However, Li Yi didn't care too much. After all, this was just a premonition. The time in Wu'an Kingdom was because the Tianlan Army was too weak. Now that the Tianlan Army has shown its advantages, there should be no more big mistakes. He no longer listened to Lieutenant General Luo Ning's other arrangements. Li Yi just sat silently in his seat, thinking about his own problems.
On the second day, Lieutenant General Luo Ning sent Li Yi to lead two knights in the Central Army and eight infantry regiments to advance first and open to the west gate of the Senna Royal City.
"Li Yi, lead the troops well. If you perform well this time in the siege, after returning to the imperial capital, I will ask you to be the master." Before Li Yi left, Lieutenant General Luo Ning said sincerely to Li Yi.
Li Yi didn't care much about this, after all, he always regarded power very lightly.
"Your 100,000 troops will start to attack the city with all their strength after arriving at the Xicheng Gate. You don't have to be stingy with the magic crystal cannon in your hand. If you feel that you can use it, use it immediately. We will help you to restrain the sight of the Sai Empire here. After you break through the city gate, our other legions will immediately rush to support you." Seeing that Li Yi did not speak, Lieutenant General Luo Ning gave a few instructions again.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi saluted solemnly, then turned over to the horse, led his soldiers to the west gate of the Senna Royal City.
It was not until Li Yi's troops completely left Lieutenant General Luo Ning's sight that Lieutenant General Luo Ning murmured: "Child, I hope you can come back alive this time, don't blame me, this is what Your Majesty meant."
At the same time, in King Tianlan's tent, Prince Kevin also stood anxiously beside King Tianlan, as if waiting for the latter to give him an explanation.
The king stood there with a quiet expression. After a long time of silence, he slowly spoke: "Kevin, I have said before that Li Yi is difficult to control. In the past, he only had extremely high talent in martial arts. But now I find that if he had time, he would definitely do something on the battlefield. In order to prevent future troubles, I can only make this bad decision."
On June 7th of the Empire, this day was Li Yi’s first personal leadership of division-level troops. After five days of long journey, Li Yi finally brought his 100,000 troops to temporarily assemble into an army, and felt the west gate of the Senna Royal City in dust.
Standing in front of the west gate of the Senna Royal City, Li Yi suddenly felt a little confused. Although he had experienced a lot of big and small battles, he was suddenly asked to command a unit of 100,000 people and also shoulder the heavy responsibility of breaking the city gate. After letting the troops hold the camp, Li Yi slowly paced in front of the military camp, not knowing how to make a decision next.
"Li Yi, what are you thinking about swaying around here? Haven't you woken up from the joy of suddenly becoming a master?" Seeing Li Yi paced back and forth in front of the military camp with a worrying gain and loss, Alice walked up to tease with a smile.
"How is that possible? You don't know. I don't really care about these things. What's more, I'm just bringing a unit of 100,000 people now, and I haven't really become a division commander." Li Yi no longer had the mood to tease Alice at this time, and said with a frown.
"Hehe, I'm just kidding you. I'm upset about siege. With your talent and skills, are you helpless in this Senna royal city?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi finally stopped crying and patted Alice's forehead intimately, and said softly: "Idiot, how can the siege be linked to talent? This Senna royal city has made all the imperial officers frustrated. How could I come up with good plans now, as a newcomer on the battlefield? Besides, under the command of General Luo Ning, I was used to everything being followed by the arrangements above. Now I suddenly asked me to issue some offensive orders to these troops, and I was really at a loss." Speaking of this, Li Yi frowned slightly again.
"Oh, I'm still talking about me being a fool every day. Now I've become a commander of 100,000 people. Don't you have any enlightenment?" Alice said with a smile when she heard Li Yi's complaints.
"What enlightenment?" Li Yi asked anxiously.
"Hehe, on the battlefield, isn't you the only one who doesn't understand military affairs? Are there people in other troops who know nothing about military affairs? Then Captain Kane, do you think he has the military talents of the veteran General Ronin? Duke Vanessa may not be really proficient in both civil and military skills."
"What does it mean?" Although Alice said a lot, Li Yi still did not understand what Alice wanted to convey.
"I'm so stupid. What I mean is, marching and fighting. Since the general knows that he can't make a particularly good decision, why not find some soldiers with military talents in the army, and then promote them to you and help you work together. Think about Danny at the time, he held any position with Duke Vanessa." Alice wrinkled slightly and continued to talk to Li Yi playfully.
When Alice said this, Li Yi's eyes finally shone brightly. "Ah, what you mean is that I want me to find a military talent in the army and promote him to be my military advisor? Oh, why didn't I expect such a simple thing?" Li Yi knocked on his head in annoyance and said hatefully.
"Hehe, of course, that's because I'm smarter than you. You idiot, maybe you can only show superiority to ordinary people in your cultivation. But don't expect to find talents like Lieutenant General Ronin or Danny among these 100,000 troops. After all, this is a military camp, and these soldiers are actually used to obeying the commands of the superiors. All you have to do now is to find some people who have some knowledge of the Senna Royal City, and then grasp the current situation in the royal city from them. Only in this way can you fight against the Sai Army while knowing yourself and your enemy." Seeing Li Yi's annoyed look, Alice was even more arrogant and said beside Li Yi.
"Well, when I talk about this kind of person, when I left Lieutenant General Luo Ning, the general had already arranged a few of them for my troops. They were spies from our Tianlan Empire in the Sai Empire. I knew the situation in the Senna Royal City. I will find them now without expecting them to come up with any wonderful strategies. At least I must first grasp how many defenders there are in the Western City Gate. And what kind of environment we will face in the Senna Royal City after the city is broken." As he said that, Li Yi gave Alice an admiring look, and then immediately turned back to the camp to find the soldiers who knew the Senna Royal City.
After inquiry, Li Yi roughly grasped some of the current situation in the Senna Royal City.
The total force in the Senna royal city is indeed one million. Although there are a replacement army that hastily formed the army, its combat power cannot be ignored when defending the city. However, as for the situation at the West City Gate, these spies had withdrawn from the royal city early before the war began, so they did not understand the current division of troops in the royal city.
However, after knowing the current total force in the Senna Royal City, Li Yi could guess that the Sai Empire would inevitably divide its troops to guard the four gates in the royal city evenly. After all, they didn't know which city gate the Tianlan Empire would attack, and the Senna Royal City was so large that it would be impossible to do it in a short time if it wanted to temporarily support other gates.
