Seeing that even though his troops knew they had to face several times their enemies, they were still able to remain calm. Some words of encouragement that Li Yi wanted to say were taken into his stomach at this time.
Only Li Yi and a few senior officials knew about the strategic intention this time. If it weren't for the fact that Mel had a good relationship with Li Yi, with Mel's current identity, I wouldn't know the real plan of the Flame Dragon Legion.
Therefore, all the soldiers now think that Li Yi led this army to station here, really to hinder the advancement of the Tianlan Empire reinforcements and to give the siege troops time to siege the city.
But Li Yi is the most involved, and he knows his true intentions. He still has concealed something from his subordinates, so Li Yi is not going to pretend to tell them some irrelevant pre-war mobilizations.
After looking at his soldiers with satisfaction, Li Yi just said loudly: "I won't say much extra words. Once a war starts, saving lives is important. We are just to buy time, not to defeat the enemy in a sequel. If there is a strategic need, you must also firmly implement it when you hear the order to retreat."
The soldiers were originally waiting for Li Yi to say something more imposing, but when they heard Li Yi's words, they were stunned.
Because they never thought that before the battle started, their commanders had already thought about retreating. But when they thought about it, they thought it cleverly and figured out Li Yi's idea.
In their opinion, what Li Yi meant was that their troops only had to play a role of harassment. As for whether they could fight against the enemy, this was not something they could decide.
So after hesitating for a while, many soldiers also responded: "General, don't worry, we will try our best to save our lives. After all, if we can live, who would be willing to die?"
Li Yi was completely relieved to see that his soldiers were still so relaxed.
After waiting for a while, Li Yi and his soldiers saw that a large number of enemies began to appear in front of them.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi knew that their enemies were really coming.
Li Yi raised his holy sword again and shouted loudly: "Prepare for battle."
"Captain, the battle situation is not good, let's retreat first. We can do this to this extent, which is worthy of their Flame Dragon Legion." In the chaotic battle, Mel spent all his efforts to find Li Yi. After coming to Li Yi, Mel touched the blood on his face and shouted loudly to Li Yi.
Hearing Mel's shout, Li Yi finally woke up from the high-intensity battle. The current situation can only be described as chaos, because since the war started, Li Yi has only been focusing on the cavalry following him, and has not considered how to arrange troops. Because in Li Yi's opinion, those cavalry should be able to notice these things.
But Li Yi ignored the real importance of a commander on the battlefield. When Li Yi was only concerned about charging and killing the enemy, Mel and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under him were stunned. Because in fact, this battle can be regarded as the first tough battle after Li Yi and Mel and the others met.
When he was exterminated the Sai Legion in the southern border of Sai, although Li Yi was famously the commander of this cavalry unit, because of that time, they were carrying out a mission to harass the enemy and did not meet the enemy several times from beginning to end. And even if they met the enemy, Li Yi waved his hand and took his fierce subordinates to eliminate the small scattered Sai Legion army in one go.
Therefore, Li Yi has never noticed what kind of responsibility he should have to take as the commander of the army. When he had not noticed before, Mel was on the side, and their enemies were always extremely weak.
But this time, Li Yi forgot that this time he was no longer facing the vulnerable uprising troops in the southern border of Sai. This time, Li Yi led his troops to face the regular troops of the Tianlan Empire head-on.
Although the troops of the Tianlan Empire came from afar, both physically and moralely lower than Li Yi's troops. But after all, this is a veteran unit that has been through the battlefield for a long time. When Li Yi still wanted to use the simple charge method in the past to compete with the opponent, the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire obviously did not prepare for the opportunity of Li Yi.
Therefore, when Li Yi rushed among the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire and had unknowingly killed thousands of enemies, Mel suddenly came to his side and gave him a drink.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? It's obvious that the war has just started, why is Mel going to retreat?" With a full of questions, Li Yi first looked around.
However, the situation around can only be described as a word of chaos, so Li Yi cannot see what is strange on the field now. However, Li Yi heard Mel's previous words clearly and knew that Mel was not the kind of targetless person. So after clearing the enemy troops beside him, Li Yi was patient and asked Mel: "Mel, what happened? Is there another reinforcement from the Tianlan Empire? "
When he heard Li Yi's question, Mel smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "If the Tianlan Empire really adds reinforcements, then can you and I still have the time to talk here now?" But thinking that his old regiment commander has been away from the battlefield for ten years, and Li Yi was not good at this matter before, so although Mel's method was a lot of complaints, he did not say anything disrespectful in the end.
After just a wry smile, Mel said anxiously: "Captain, although there are other reinforcements from the Tianlan Empire coming here, at least in a short period of time, those reinforcements will not join forces with this reinforcement. I will discuss the withdrawal with you for other reasons."
"What's the reason? Have we been defeated by the enemy in such a short time?" Speaking of this, Li Yi first looked around carefully again. Although he still could not completely judge the current changes on the field, Li Yi could still feel that at least at this moment, his cavalry legion was not at any disadvantage. After the cavalry troops confronted the infantry on the plains, their combat capabilities still had great advantages.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi put down a little, and then asked Mel in confusion: "Since it's not that our army showed its defeat, why do you advise me to withdraw my troops now? Mel, you must know that the morale of the troops is the most important thing in marching and fighting. If we just turned around and ran away before we had contacted each other many times, it would be difficult for our subordinates to have some restless thoughts."
Although Li Yi was not very military, what he said was still very reasonable. Li Yi's meaning was very clear. Now that the battle has just begun, the two sides are in a hot battle. If at this time, when both sides did not decide a trace of victory or defeat, Li Yi waved his hand and retreated inexplicably with his troops. In this way, it is inevitable that his soldiers will not be discouraged.
However, Mel didn't understand the meaning of Li Yi's words. It can even be said that Mel understood these principles even more than Li Yi. It was just that this time and then, and the current situation of war had forced Mel to persuade Li Yi to make such a decision.
Because since the war started, Li Yi has only been concerned about killing the enemy with pleasure. After taking out the holy sword, Roland commanded the war horse for a while, Li Yi felt itchy and did not indicate who would take over the task of his command. With his legs in his arms, Li Yi joined the battle group like a whirlwind.
With Li Yi's participation in the war, the troops of the Yanlong Legion, both in morale and combat effectiveness, were greatly improved. Li Yi was like a man-head harvester. As long as Li Yi walked by, there was no way he could have a living place. Because Li Yi's iron-blooded methods not only successfully shocked the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire, but even the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion who were destined to witness Li Yi's bravery in fighting, after seeing Li Yi's methods, they couldn't help but sweat coldly.
At that moment, many cavalrymen of the Flame Dragon Legion could not help but secretly thanked in their hearts that they were members of the Flame Dragon Legion at this time, not members of the Tianlan Empire. If it were not for their current identity, then they asked themselves that with their little strength, it would be impossible to escape Li Yi's pursuit.
However, although many ordinary soldiers became extremely brave after Li Yi joined the war, as the commander with the highest status on the battlefield, except for Li Yi, Mel, after realizing that Li Yi ignored his commander's identity and rashly participated in the war, Mel's face did not have a relaxed smile like other soldiers.
After seeing Li Yi not in his command position, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, replaced by incomparable panic and anger. If it weren't for Li Yi's kindness to him back then, he would have been determined to kill Li Yi now.
But Mel also knew that this idea was impossible to achieve. And even if he was angry, he could not send it to Li Yi. Because even if he sent it out, Li Yi could not understand his own difficulties.
Because as a powerful cultivator, it is impossible to use tactical strategies to explain to Li Yi how to fight a war. To use a more appropriate statement to describe Li Yi, that is, Li Yi is just a general, not a general. Let it lead tens of thousands of troops to charge into battle, perhaps no one in the entire Yanlong Legion can be more competent in this position than Li Yi.
But if Li Yi wants to lead thousands of troops, plan and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, it will really stump Li Yi.
What’s embarrassing is that Mel is actually the same person as Li Yi.
Before Li Yi came back, Mel played Li Yi's current role. Whenever he encountered a war, Mel's first thought was not to arrange his own troops to meet the enemy. The only thing he thought was that with the huge advantage of his cavalry fighting on the plains, the entire army would be dispatched. As long as the cavalry's charge formation could be kept intact, then the war would not be lost.
However, after the troops drove out of the southern border of Sain and Mel saw the defenders of the Tianlan Empire stationed on the Senna Royal City, Mel also became loyal and awake. Now it is no longer time to be in the southern border of Sain. What they have to face is the regular army of the Tianlan Empire, which swept the entire Sain Empire.
If you only know how to fight against them and don’t think about how to use some strategies, then the only thing waiting for them is failure.
Therefore, since the war started, although Mel was very interested in joining the battle group and taking the enemy's head, and was constantly eager to try it out. However, thinking about the current situation and seeing the Tianlan Empire uniform worn by the opponent, Mel could only forcibly restrain himself and prevent him from rushing into the enemy's camp.
But just as Mel was thinking about restraining himself and arranging the officers to command their subordinates to pay attention to the charge formation and depth, Mel turned around and was shocked to find that Li Yi, the highest commander of his troops, had disappeared from where he should be, and rushed into the enemy's siege.
When Mel saw this situation, Li Yi had already rushed into the enemy's troops for a while. Because Li Yi left his command position, many officers had to command their troops to move closer to Li Yi after seeing their commanders joining the war. The reason was nothing but because they wanted to protect Li Yi's safety at all times. Although they all knew that their highest commander was a strong man whose strength had reached the peak of the seventh level, in their opinion, even if a strong man in the seventh level wanted to face thousands of troops, it was not that he could really escape without losing his body.
But Li Yi didn't know what his subordinates were thinking. After he rushed into the battle circle, Li Yi was thinking about killing as many enemies as possible. In Li Yi's opinion, as long as he could kill one more soldier from the Tianlan Empire, his subordinates would be less likely to be killed.
But Li Yi didn't know that although his own starting point was good, when Li Yi wanted to do this, he kept rushing towards the center of the lineup of the Tianlan Empire, in order to protect Li Yi's safety, many cavalrymen of the Flame Dragon Legion had to follow Li Yi in a fearless manner to rush towards the dragon pond and tiger den.
At first, Li Yi was also very curious. Li Yi thought to himself that he was obviously going forward in a straight line, so why were the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion and the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire fighting each other around him? Because of this, Li Yi even complained secretly that because of the existence of these Yanlong Legion soldiers, Li Yi could not use some powerful killer moves.
But when Li Yi rushed out for a long distance and was found by Mel, after the telling of Mel and Li Yi, Li Yi realized that because of his impulse, the front line of the Flame Dragon Legion has been invisibly lengthened.
Although the battle situation around Li Yi has always been extremely anxious, Li Yi always thought that the cavalry of the Yanlong Legion and the soldiers of the Tianlan Empire were equally matched, and they did not fall into a disadvantage because of the small number of people. It is because of this that Li Yi showed confusion when Mel just proposed to withdraw.
