Yad also listened to Li Yi's reminder. He immediately spread his body and followed Li Yi forward.
Li Yi, who left the large army, was very careful to investigate along the way. However, what puzzled Li Yi was that when he passed by two cities that were supposed to belong to the Yanlong Legion, Li Yi found that there was no garrison in the city, and there were even no soldiers guarding the city on the city wall. The two cities were just closed to the city gates, but Li Yi knew that if there were enemies who wanted to forcibly capture the city, they only needed to send a squadron of 100 people and they should be able to occupy it.
After thinking about it, Li Yi couldn't figure out why this happened. Later, when he was about to arrive in Xicheng, Li Yi guessed that the reason why the two cities before had no defensive forces should be related to the current difficulties of Xicheng. If he guessed correctly, Betina and the others should have known that someone was going to attack Xicheng. And the strength of the enemy attacking Xicheng should not be very weak, so in order to defend Xicheng, Betina and the others should have concentrated the troops of the Yanlong Legion scattered throughout the Central and Pakistan provinces into Xicheng. Although this is equivalent to handing over the other five cities, it is better than being defeated by the enemy one by one.
With such speculation in my heart, Li Yi became even more worried about the situation in Xicheng at this time.
So the closer it is to Xicheng, the more vigilant Li Yi will be.
Just as Li Yi was moving forward carefully, suddenly, there were several soldiers with very secretive patrol nearby not far ahead.
Li Yi's eyesight is naturally very amazing, so although Li Yi saw the other party, he did not show Li Yi.
After exchanging a look with Yad, Li Yi knew that Yad had also appeared in the patrol soldiers in front. He carefully confirmed the situation around him again. Now, except for the few patrol soldiers in the distance, there should be no other enemies here.
Li Yi and Yadi lowered their bodies a little bit again, and then tiptoed to the patrolmen.
After easily dealing with these patrol soldiers, Li Yi did not ask Yadd to go back to send a message, but continued to investigate with Yadd.
Since the number of patrol soldiers was eliminated, Li Yi and Yadian have been hiding on the roadside. If it weren't for Li Yi and Yadian's extraordinary strength, it would be difficult for ordinary scouts to show such excellent patrol soldiers.
They kept killing the patrol soldiers on the roadside with Yad. After half a day, Li Yi and Yad could finally see the city walls of Xicheng.
However, when Li Yi saw the walls of Xicheng, the situation outside Xicheng also appeared.
At this time, there were more than 200,000 enemy soldiers around Xicheng. If it weren't for the large scale of Xicheng, the enemy troops outside Xicheng could have completely surrounded Xicheng.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Li Yi said lightly to Yadi beside him: "Oh, it seems that the danger in Xicheng this time is really not small."
Let Yadi continue to observe the situation outside Xicheng, and Li Yi turned around and ran backwards.
Li Yi knew that in the face of this situation, even if his troops launched a suicide charge, it would be impossible to relieve much pressure on Xicheng. Now Li Yi must let his troops stop marching. If an enemy who was accidentally surrounded outside Xicheng appeared, then the cavalry team that Li Yi just got was probably destroyed here.
After seeing Li Yi rushing back in a hurry, Mel immediately went forward and asked, "Captain, what's going on in front? Is Xicheng still saved?" Mel also saw some clues from Li Yi's frowning, so when he asked, he directly asked if Xicheng still saved.
When Li Yi heard Mel's question, he could only smile bitterly. After standing still, Li Yi said seriously: "Oh, the current situation in Xicheng is worse than I thought. There are more than 200,000 enemy troops of unknown origin on the outside of Xicheng. Although they did not attack Xicheng, it is really difficult for us to use this little person in our hands to rescue Xicheng."
When Mel heard Li Yi say this, Mel couldn't help but frown. The 200,000 army, even in the Tianlan Empire, was a considerable force. Faced with the current situation, Mel couldn't think of any good idea for a while. So Mel could only choose to remain silent, turn his attention to Li Yi, and see what his old commander wanted to do at this time.
Just when Li Yi and Mel were both silent, Lincoln said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, otherwise we would have to rush into the enemy camp and rush into the enemy camp. Although it is not guaranteed to wipe out the enemy completely, it will cause them some trouble, and we can still do this."
Hearing Lincoln's suggestion, Li Yi could only shake his head helplessly. Lincoln's idea was certainly good, but in this kind of ten thousand people's battle, his personal strength was too thin. The reason why Lincoln dared to say this was because when he arrived in Jingchuan Province, they wiped out hundreds of soldiers from the Rhone Legion with just four people.
Shaking his head, Li Yi said to Lincoln: "Lincoln, you still underestimate these ordinary soldiers too much. Of course, their personal strength is absolutely incomparable to us. But if their number is already a lot, and even to the current level of 200,000 people, then our strength cannot be truly swept. If we rely on our strength to rush into the enemy, we can kill many enemies in a short time. But when we want to retreat, it will not be that simple."
"Haha, I actually understand these principles, but now besides this, I really can't think of any way to solve the crisis in Xicheng. You can't take your cavalry to rush towards them. In that case, it would be better for us to try our luck." Seeing Li Yi rejecting his proposal, Lincoln also had no choice but to explain to himself a few words.
Li Yi also knew that Lincoln had good intentions, so after rejecting Lincoln's proposal, Li Yi also cast an apology look at Lincoln.
Looking back at the direction of Xicheng City, Li Yi said to Meier: "We'd better be more cautious first. You will now retreat with your troops. On the way here I saw a forest, so let our people hide in the woods first. At night, I went to Xicheng to explore the situation. After we figured out the situation, we will make a long-term plan."
Mel strongly agreed with Li Yi's approach to seeking stability. After all, many of the subordinates he brought out this time were old comrades who rebelled from the Tianlan Empire with him. If they were to act in a moment of impulse and end up making these people die in vain, Mel would not accept it.
So after receiving Li Yi's order, Mel took Ren'an's way back.
Just as Mel and his troops were about to evacuate, Yadi, who was staying outside Xicheng to observe the situation suddenly came back.
"What's wrong with Yadd? What's going on?" After Yadd came to him, Li Yi immediately asked.
"Li Yi, the enemy outside Xicheng attacked Xicheng." Yad said it was very simple, but it also brought back the worst news to Li Yi.
"Oh, what should be come is always coming. Now I can only hope that Bettina and the others can support it. Mel, hurry up and take the people to hide. Since the other party has started to attack the city, I will also see if I can find a chance to enter the city." After that, Li Yi spread his body and ran towards Xicheng.
When Li Yi rushed to the outside of Xicheng again, the situation here was completely different from when he came just now.
I saw the enemies outside Xicheng lined up in neat formations, holding round shields, and slowly approaching Xicheng with the attack of the archers on the walls of Xicheng.
But after all, the Flame Dragon Legion is sitting in the city of Xicheng. Although the enemy's offensive is fierce, it is difficult for the enemy to gain an advantage for a while with its defensive advantage.
From Yad told Li Yi that the enemy began to attack the city, to Li Yi rushed to Xicheng. The enemy who attacked Xicheng has not yet attacked the city of Xicheng. The Flame Dragon Legion can circle with the enemy for a long time just by relying on the city wall.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi was temporarily relieved. According to this situation, at least until tonight, the enemy would not be able to conquer Xicheng.
However, looking at the current situation in Xicheng, facing the face of strong enemies, Xicheng is now in the highest alert. Even the other cities that have not been attacked are also heavily guarded, so it is even more difficult for Li Yi to sneak into the city at this time than to heaven.
Seeing that there was no hope of entering the city, but the enemy could not conquer Xicheng for the time being. Li Yi was less impatient for a while, but instead adjusted his mentality, concealed his figure, and watched the battle in front of him.
However, after watching for a while, Li Yi felt bored. The siege side clearly showed that he wanted to lay the groundwork for his life to enter the city. The siege commander sent soldiers to Xicheng City one after another. At noon, the corpses piled up under Xicheng City were about to form a hill.
It seems that seeing such a blind attack would only waste the lives of his soldiers. After another strong attack for a period of time, the siege decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi was really amused and crying. At this time, Li Yi really wanted to see who the commander who was the siege was. The most feared thing about marching and fighting was to change the plan temporarily. Since he had chosen to attack, he could still choose to withdraw his troops when the defending city was already showing fatigue. In this way, the dead soldiers before would be too unfair to die. Because after withdrawing the troops like this, the little advantage accumulated by finally becoming lost. If he was still ready to continue attacking in the future, he would have to start from scratch.
However, the current situation is the siege, Li Yi's enemy. Seeing the enemy making such a stupid mistake, Li Yi was so happy to laugh. Sometimes, a god-like enemy is worthy of his awesomeness. But if an enemy like a pig comes to his door, he should accept it with a smile.
Seeing that both sides had stopped, they were all ready to make plans. Li Yi hid his figure a little more secretly, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, waiting for the sunset, and looked for a good opportunity to go into the city to meet Betina.
The development of things was exactly the same as Li Yi had imagined. When night fell, Li Yi quietly flew out of his hiding place.
Relying on his exquisite body skills, in just a few minutes, Li Yi successfully sneaked under the city wall of Xicheng. No one took back the bodies of the siege soldiers who died under the city wall of Xicheng during the day. When Li Yi approached, he was instantly dizzy by a strong smell of blood.
Although Li Yi has killed many people, he can't stand this fishy smell after all.
Ignoring these corpses, Li Yi held his breath, picked a place where no one was, and then rose up and climbed up the city wall with neat skills.
From beginning to end, Li Yi did not alarm any of the soldiers guarding the city. Although both sides are in a state of war, the soldiers guarding the city are also in a twelve-point spirit. However, with Li Yi's strength, it is still not difficult to enter the city without knowing it.
Because I had been to Xicheng once before, Li Yi also knew the structure of Xicheng.
After leaping off the city wall, Li Yi followed his previous experience and walked towards the city lord's mansion in Xicheng with ease.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, after coming to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yi did not come forward to say hello to the guards at the door. Instead, he continued to cross the wall and jumped into the City Lord's Mansion.
After entering the mansion, Li Yi immediately saw the lights in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Seeing that the lights were still on there, Li Yi knew that the upper class of the Flame Dragon Legion should be still discussing the situation of the war. As Betina's identity, he should be able to be there now.
So after a week of patrol, Li Yi tiptoed towards the main hall. When he arrived at the door of the main hall, it was too difficult for Li Yi to enter without knowing it. However, since he had already arrived here, Li Yi did not intend to continue hiding.
He walked out of the shadow generously. Under the surprised eyes of the two guards, Li Yi walked up to them with a smile and said, "Two soldiers, can you help me go in and inform me, saying that Li Yi has something to ask for a meeting. I believe that some people in the hall should know me."
Seeing Li Yi's fearless look, one of the guards was about to scold Li Yi, but as soon as he was about to speak, he was pulled by another guard.
Another guard's vision was much stronger than this. He could figure it out that Li Yi could come to the city lord's mansion without knowing it, and he must be a member of the strength. But when he entered the city lord's mansion without anyone knowing it, he did not do evil things, so he naturally did not have any bad intentions to the Flame Dragon Legion. Since the other party was already strict, they just needed them to report, and the guards would just go in and say it. As for how to deal with the subsequent things, the adults inside could naturally deal with it.
So after holding his companion, another guard said to Li Yi for a while and then turned around and walked into the main hall.
Not long after, Li Yi heard the footsteps of several people in the hall. After hearing the footsteps, Li Yi guessed that after hearing the guard's notice, someone in the main hall came out with the guard.
The result was the same as Li Yi thought. After Li Yi didn't wait outside the hall for long, Betina walked out with the guards.
"Li Yi, it's really you. I thought you wouldn't come." After walking outside the hall, Betina barely squeezed out a smile and said to Li Yi.
Chapter completed!
