At the meeting, King Tianlan changed his cold appearance before. He first praised all the officers present with a kind look, promising that after the war sank, he would reward him according to his merits when he returned to his country. After that, King Tianlan still handed over the commander to Lieutenant General Luo Ning. In this great war, King Tianlan still handed this important task to the veteran general who had been experienced in many battles.
Lieutenant General Luo Ning did not look panicked at all. He calmly took over the seal of the master and began to arrange the subsequent war in front of King Tianlan.
"Now, our Tianlan Army has already penetrated into the Sai Empire. We have attacked cities and villages one after another, but in front of us, the Sai Empire has no danger to defend. Our army can go straight in and attack the Seine Royal City, the imperial capital of the Sai Empire. According to spies, hundreds of thousands of Sai troops have gathered in the Seine Royal City at this time, and there are several important towns before the royal city. This requires generals who need to be more responsible and lead their subordinates to conquer one by one." General Luo Ning first summarized the current battle situation in front of him.
Afterwards, General Luoning, like the time when he pacified the Vanessa rebels, let the current Tianlan army divide their troops into three groups and kill from three routes to the royal city of the Sai Empire.
The Central Army where Li Yi is still in charge of the main attack this time. He was responsible for the middle charge. If the Central Army wants to rush to the Sai Royal City, they need to conquer three levels in a row. Their mission is difficult compared to other legions.
After everything was arranged, King Tianlan did not interfere with General Luo Ning's plan at all. He nodded with satisfaction, and the officers present left the seat and returned to their troops to start the subsequent war.
When Li Yi returned to the Second Knights, after making the next arrangement, he suddenly had a bad premonition. This premonition suddenly made Li Yi feel very nervous. The situation in the Tianlan Army is very good, not as passive as when he was in the capital of Wu'an Kingdom. Li Yi didn't know where his premonition came from.
After not understanding it, Li Yi no longer thought about it. After resting for a night that night, the next day, he followed the Central Army and under the leadership of General Luo Ning, he began another conquest in the Sai Empire.
I don’t know if the Sai Empire was really exhausted or the Sai Empire was enduring and waiting for some conspiracy to break out later. In short, after the arrival of King Tianlan, the Tianlan Army won consecutive battles. The Central Army took only one month to step down the seven enemy cities of Sai and conquered the two levels mentioned before. Because King Tianlan was among the Central Army, news from other legions was also constantly reporting to here from afar.
Not only did the Central Army always go smoothly, but the other two legions were also constantly reporting reports of great victory.
Just one month later, the Tianlan Army conquered the enemy cities of Sai under the momentum of King Tianlan's personal expedition. It was approaching summer, but the situation of the Sai Empire was as severe as winter. The territory was eroded by the Tianlan Army. Three months after the war started, the Sai Empire had lost most of its territory.
After several more fierce battles, the Central Army finally conquered the third level of Sai Royal City on the middle road and was the first to attack the city of Sai Royal City.
After dividing the troops again, General Luo Ning sent reinforcements to the other two directions to assist other legions in siege the city. He hoped that the other two armies would form an encirclement with the Central Army to the Royal City of the Sai Empire as soon as possible.
Of course, the result was not disappointed. After a little delay, the other two armies finally successfully joined the Central Army. Since then, the Tianlan Empire army finally formed an encirclement of the royal city of the Sai Empire. The great empire that was once comparable to the Tianlan Empire was so depressed that it could only rely on a royal city to resist the opponent's counterattack.
I wonder if King Sai in the Sai Empire's King City would regret the order to invade the Tianlan Empire at this time. If it weren't for the way of stealing chickens and losing rice, the Sai Empire would definitely not have faced such a difficult situation.
However, King Tianlan was in a good mood at this time and stood in a vigorous spirit among the magnificent Tianlan army. He didn't look like an old man no matter how he looked.
Lieutenant General Ronin and Captain Kane respectfully protected King Tianlan, and also looked at the magnificent royal city in front of him coldly.
The final showdown between the two empires is finally about to begin.
The Royal City of Sena is located in the south of the Sai Empire. Although it is not in the central part of the Sai Empire, it is still the center of the entire empire's economy and military.
The construction of the Royal City of Senna is very strange. I wonder what the first king Sai had thought to build such a deformed city.
The Senna Royal City covers an active and large area, which is a very excessive size. The entire royal city covers an area of ​​almost as big as some medium-sized provinces in the Sai Empire. The people living in the Senna Royal City have not even been able to complete this city in their entire lives.
The walls of the Senna Royal City were also made of huge blue stones. The walls were as high as 30 meters and the top was 15 meters wide. There were many arrow towers above the city gates and were magnificent. The moat outside the city wall was derived from the Seine River next to the royal city, which was forty meters wide and ten meters deep. The original construction of the royal city was also taken from the name of this river.
It is not an exaggeration to say that such a huge royal city is a natural fortress. Even the imperial capital of the Tianlan Empire is far from reaching this scale.
So although the Tianlan army had a million lions at this time, it seemed a little weak in front of this deformed royal city.
Lieutenant General Tianlan also knew the steepness of the Senna Royal City. Some generals had heard of the Senna Royal City before. Now they have seen this huge monster with their own eyes. Although they are in a team of millions of soldiers, they are deeply shocked by the momentum of the royal city.
Everyone was in their hearts with the same idea at this time. Facing the Senna Royal City, where should our Tianlan Empire army start and how to attack?
Li Yi was also in deep shock at this time, watching the huge city in front of him coldly, Li Yi felt the lack of personal ability for the first time. It was such a city, such a city wall, that even the elite troops could not be thought of where to attack, so as to ensure a successful attack on the city of Senna.
King Tianlan held the golden sword in his hand and looked at the defenders on the opposite city wall without saying a word with Lieutenant General Luo Ning, and remained silent from the early morning until noon. The army of millions of Tianlan accompanied their king and general to stare at the royal city opposite for a whole morning.
Unexpectedly, King Tianlan ordered the team to rest on the spot again, but did not immediately order an attack.
In the central army's tent, several loyal ministers of the Tianlan Empire stood beside King Tianlan with a serious face, waiting for their king to issue the next order.
"Loning, do you have any good plans to capture the Senna City?" After thinking for a long time in the tent, King Tianlan slowly asked Lieutenant General Luo Ning who was silent beside him.
"This... Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it is almost impossible to capture the Senna Royal City in one go. The old minister has heard of the enormous size of Senna Royal City before, but when I saw it today, I found that its size was far beyond my original imagination."
"Okay, I don't want to hear what you said now. I just want to know if there is a better way to attack the city. I don't ask for a quick attack. As long as I can capture this city, even if it's a year of siege, I can accept it." King Tianlan showed an impatient look for the first time since the war started, frowned slightly, interrupted Lieutenant General Luo Ning's words, and continued to ask if the other party had a good strategy in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Luo Ning could only smile awkwardly, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, you just said that perhaps our Tianlan army can only continue to siege this city, and rely on the powerful rear support to fight with the Sai Empire. Until the Sai Empire could not hold on, it was the time for us to break the city. But in this way, the war on the Sena Royal City will probably be long-lasting."
"Ah, I have been in the trend of victory before, and I have forgotten the easy defense and difficult attack of the Senna Royal City. Now that the army is at the city, the empire has consumed so much materials, we cannot return without success. Moreover, after the Sai Empire suffered such losses before, their current strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. This is the time for us to pursue the victory, how can we go back to the court because of a royal city?" King Tianlan sighed. It was obvious that the deformed royal city opposite the military camp gave everyone here a problem.
"Since the frontal attack cannot be achieved, why don't we seek other ways?" Just as everyone was silent, because of General Luo Ning's care, Li Yi, who was lucky enough to attend such a meeting again, whispered in a tentative manner in the seat in the corner.
When everyone who was thinking hard turned their attention to this young and handsome man.
"Li Yi, do you have any good ideas? Let's talk about it." Lieutenant General Luo Ning, who was already in a dilemma of thinking, couldn't help but smile and ask with a smile when he saw Li Yi's speech.
Seeing everyone turning their eyes to him, Li Yi was also slightly stunned. It was not until Lieutenant General Luo Ning talked to him that Li Yi stood up from his seat with a generous smile and said in front of everyone: "My thoughts may seem a little naive. After all, I know nothing about military affairs. I just want to talk about my thoughts first."
"Well, don't be modest, just tell me what you think. I want to hear what you have." King Tianlan also put away his impatient expression just now and said to Li Yi with a smile.
"It's not a master trick, but I think that since we are facing this Senna Royal City at this time, we can't do anything, and our Tianlan army can't just surround here with helplessness. And just blindly attacking, I think the effect we can receive is probably not particularly significant. To be honest, it may even repeat the mistakes of the Sai Empire when it besieged our Chinese fortress." Li Yi said calmly, and everyone here nodded frequently. What Li Yi said now is exactly what everyone thought.
"Since we neither want to attack forcefully nor waste time here, why don't we give up attacking Senna for the time being, but instead take the road around Senna and continue to attack other territories of the Sai Empire. Isn't it mentioned before that the war reports I received before? Although there are millions of soldiers in Senna, half of them are hasty alternate troops. We are now starting to retract our front line and stick to the territory we have obtained. Then we take a detour and continue to send troops to capture other territories of the Sai Empire. It would be fine if the Sai Empire did not leave the city to block it. If we want to organize it from it, we will have the opportunity to take the opportunity to attack the city." The more Li Yi said, the more confident it was. After hearing Li Yi's thought, everyone here not only did not show a sarcastic look, but instead nodded in agreement, believing that Li Yi's idea was indeed wonderful.
Seeing the expression of approval on everyone's faces, Li Yi's confidence increased greatly and continued: "In fact, what we need to beware of is not only the Sai Empire here, but also the Atlantic Empire in the north of the empire. We have launched a general attack on the Sai Empire so powerful that no one would believe that the Atlantic Empire does not want to take a share of the pie. Therefore, at this time, avoiding the Senna Royal City and attacking other areas can not only save most of the troops, but also throwing the problem back to the Sai Empire. See if they continue to defend a huge royal city or divide their troops to support other areas." Li Yi talked happily, and at this time, the generals had completely agreed with Li Yi's point of view.
"Li Yi, it's not bad. He said that he doesn't understand military affairs. Your high move will not only temporarily reduce the power consumption of the empire, but also continue to expand the empire's territory. After we completely take over the Sai Empire, this Senna Royal City will be considered at most a country among the country. At that time, I think how can their Sai Empire be called the word "emperament"?" General Luo Ning walked up to Li Yi with appreciation after hearing Li Yi's suggestion and said excitedly. After all, Li Yi was also considered a general brought by Luo Ning. If he put forward such insightful ideas here, Luo Ning's face also became bright.
"Well, Captain Li Yi's idea is very good. Although it is a bit unreasonable, it has taken a different approach and solved the current big problem for the empire." King Tianlan said with a smile without being stingy with his words of appreciation.
Prince Kevin behind the king also gave Li Yi a thumbs up and smiled kindly.
In response to this, Li Yi just smiled gently, but did not show any smug expression. This was just an idea that he suddenly came up with on the seat just now, but he didn't expect it to be accepted by everyone. In fact, Li Yi proposed to avoid the Senna Royal City for his own reasons. The bad premonition I suddenly felt yesterday made Li Yi feel very bad. He hated this feeling that life could not be controlled by himself, so Li Yi thought it would be better to leave here first.
After everyone accepted Li Yi's idea, Lieutenant General Ronin, at the instructions of King Tianlan, began to discuss with Commander Kane and several other division commanders to bypass the Senna Royal City and capture some forces further south of the Sai Empire.
Li Yi had no idea of ​​getting involved here. After all, it was okay to come up with some small ideas. If you want to control the overall situation, you would never be able to do it.
After several senior officials began to discuss other wars, King Tianlan no longer sat here. With Prince Kevin's company, King Tianlan smiled at Li Yi slightly and then walked out of the central army's tent.
Chapter completed!
