First, to protect Li Yi's safety, and second, to follow his powerful commander to kill the highest commander of the Tianlan Empire. Because since the war started, although the Flame Dragon Legion has been attacking the Senna Royal City, these soldiers know that although the Flame Dragon Legion has the advantage in the scene, in fact, the Flame Dragon Legion shows no sign of victory.
If his troops, which were originally only used to delay the marching speed of the Tianlan Empire's reinforcements, could successfully kill the highest general among the Tianlan Empire's reinforcements, then once the news spread, not only will the current crisis be resolved, but even the other brothers of the Yanlong Legion who were attacking the Senna Royal City behind him would be excited because of his great military achievements.
So after misunderstanding Li Yi's idea, the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion fought all the way with Li Yi in order to win. They were not afraid of being confused by the formation. What they now only saw was the head of a high-ranking enemy official, and their life and death had already been left out.
This time, the Flame Dragon Legion will be a battle of destruction and a battle with its back. However, even so, the Flame Dragon Legion is still difficult to obtain any advantage when facing the extremely difficult fortress of Senna Royal City.
Although the soldiers who came out with Li Yi this time were all troops brought out by Meier from Jingchuan Province. But after all, these people have joined the Flame Dragon Legion, and it is equivalent to boarding the Flame Dragon Legion's pirate ship. Even if it is to save their lives, they also hope that the Flame Dragon Legion can win in the confrontation between the Flame Dragon Legion and the Tianlan Empire.
Because if the Yanlong Legion was defeated, even if their own people were not the most direct troops of the Yanlong Legion, after the defeat, the Tianlan Empire would not let it go because of this.
So this time they followed Li Yi out to block the reinforcements driven out of the Chinese fortress. In fact, these cavalrymen have made up their minds to die.
Because in their opinion, this is simply an impossible task. Now everyone in the Flame Dragon Legion knows that although the number of reinforcements in the first batch of Tianlan Empire was not large, it was also terrifyingly 200,000. Although these 50,000 soldiers were extremely elite, if you want to defeat the enemy's 200,000 army without any tricks, this is a task that is impossible to complete no matter how you look at it.
After all, although these cavalry are extremely brave and are also elite soldiers brought by Mel. However, the strategy discussed by Li Yi and Betina and others is not so simple to reveal. Although that strategy is good, if the Tianlan Empire knows it, then their strategy to lure the enemy into depth may only eventually turn into a self-destructive approach.
Therefore, in order to keep the secret of the strategy in mind, these brave cavalry knew nothing about it. Therefore, among the 50,000 cavalrymen who came out with Li Yi, except Meier, they didn't know that after the war began, they still had the choice to retreat.
However, when they knew nothing about withdrawing troops, Li Yi showed a look of dying, which made these subordinates rush out with Li Yi without fear of death.
When Mel found Li Yi in the hinterland of the Tianlan Empire army, Li Yi knew nothing about the mistakes he had made. When Mel told Li Yi all this and told Li Yi about the current predicament of the army, Li Yi woke up as if he was dreaming.
"Ah, why is this happening? I blame me, I blame me. I only care about fighting for the sake of my own, but I forgot that my current actions will affect the movement of the troops." Li Yi said with annoyance when he heard Mel's remarks.
But although Li Yi blamed himself, Mel knew that it was not the time to blame himself. After looking at the battle situation around him anxiously, Mel said to Li Yi anxiously: "Captain, it is not the time to regret it now. Although many of our troops are trapped now, the advantage of our cavalry's mobility still exists. As long as we retreat with all our hearts and let the army of the Tianlan Empire be extremely brave, we will be helpless."
Hearing Mel's suggestion, Li Yi stopped talking nonsense. First, he looked at the soldiers beside him apologetically. Li Yi waved his hand and began to retreat quickly with these people.
While retreating, Li Yi said to Mel beside him: "Don't worry, we will come back sooner or later."
Since Li Yi's troops began to retreat, the Flame Dragon Legion headed by Betina finally began their planned "Great Escape".
During this great escape, Betina and his men were fulfilling their "task" conscientiously.
The slightly different thing is that as the leader of the legion, Betina knew all the process of this strategy. But what made Betina a little worried now was that it was the highest leaders of their legion that only her subordinates knew about it, but her subordinates did not know about this matter. Although this strategy was the only way for the Flame Dragon Legion in the eyes of Betina and the others. But Betina was worried that her subordinates could not understand her difficulties.
After so many days of war with the Tianlan Empire, Betina really realized that the strength of the Tianlan Empire was really not something that the rising stars like the Flame Dragon Legion could really compete with.
After five days of siege, even if the Flame Dragon Legion intentionally retained its strength, in these five days, the Flame Dragon Legion had already thrown away the bodies of nearly 100,000 soldiers outside the Senna Royal City. Such a result made Betina feel extremely disappointed.
Looking back at the beginning, after I learned that Li Yi was going to join the Yanlong Legion again and was willing to help the Yanlong Legion compete with the old king of the Tianlan Empire, Betina naively thought that with Li Yi's joining and Li Yi could also help the Yanlong Legion resist the last killing move of the Tianlan Empire, then the Yanlong Legion could really compete with the Tianlan Empire head-on.
But just ten days after the battle between the Flame Dragon Legion and the Tianlan Empire, Betina saw the most real difference between the Flame Dragon Legion and the Tianlan Empire. Just one of the Sena Royal City almost completely defeated the Flame Dragon Legion.
If Li Yi had not reposted the plan of an old senior to himself on the night of the first day of the war, perhaps the troops of the Yanlong Legion were still surrounded outside the city of Senna Royal City. If this was true, the Yanlong Legion would have been not far from being destroyed.
Fortunately, the Flame Dragon Legion finally had another plan now, and because of this sudden change of formation, the Flame Dragon Legion no longer had to attack the seemingly invincible royal city of Senna at least in a short period of time.
When Li Yi led the cavalry troops to fight with reinforcements from the Tianlan Empire on the front line and then retreated, Betina finally knew from Li Yi's retelling what kind of strength the Tianlan Empire has now.
Originally, in Betina's impression, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry unit led by Li Yi was extremely strong. Even if he did not compare his troops with these militia units in the southern border of Sain, Li Yi's cavalry was not much different from that of the regular troops of the Sain Empire back then.
And in the previous battles, Betina really witnessed the strong combat effectiveness of Li Yi's cavalry unit.
But such a powerful force was defeated from the south of the Senna Royal City. It was not as planned, and it was at all, and it was not as I planned to join the troops I stayed there in an orderly manner and then slowly retreated.
This situation made Betina complain. If the combat effectiveness of the Tianlan Empire was so strong, then even if the Yanlong Legion had any strategy, perhaps in the future, when the Yanlong Legion fought head-on with the Tianlan Empire's troops, the Yanlong Legion would not have much hope of winning.
Fortunately, after Li Yi led more than 40,000 cavalry to join his large army, Li Yi first reviewed his mistakes. Li Yi admitted that it was because of his carelessness that this elite cavalry unit suffered such a defeat.
But now Betina has no intention to think about these issues. Since Li Yi has withdrawn, and there is no pursuit from the Tianlan Empire troops behind Li Yi. In this way, it is proved that the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire have entered the Senna Royal City.
Since this is the case, it proves that the Flame Dragon Legion is now unable to truly attack the Senna Royal City.
Although he was still a little dissatisfied, Betina knew that this time was not a time to fight for force. Putting aside his unhappiness, Betina, with the remaining troops of the Flame Dragon Legion, began to retreat to the southern border of Sainan in a planned manner.
This retreat means that the Yanlong Legion's conquest has officially come to an end.
However, the Yanlong Legion's conquest of the Tianlan Empire came to an end, which does not mean that this war can be concluded.
In order to deal with this large-scale attack by the Flame Dragon Legion, the Tianlan Empire spent a lot of money. Although it did not move the troops placed at the northernmost end of the empire to defend the Atlan Empire, the troops from other parts of the Tianlan Empire were almost mobilized by the Tianlan Empire.
If it weren't for the geography of the Tianlan Empire, perhaps the Tianlan Empire would not dare to mobilize so many troops.
Since the Tianlan Empire has had such a big move, of course it is impossible to just defend against the attack of the Flame Dragon Legion.
As the biggest enemy of the Tianlan Empire, the Tianlan Empire will not let the Yanlong Legion go so easily.
If the Flame Dragon Legion can capture the Sena Royal City before the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire arrive, the Tianlan Empire may have ordered the encirclement of the Sena Royal City to retake the southern fortress of the empire back into its own hands.
But now the Flame Dragon Legion has not even attacked the Senna Royal City, and that day the Lan Empire will be even more unlikely to give the Flame Dragon Legion a chance to breathe.
To gather such a major army, the Tianlan Empire did not allow its soldiers to come to the south of the empire to see the scenery.
Fortunately, when the large troops of the Flame Dragon Legion withdrew, the reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire had not yet been truly in place. Until now, there were only reinforcements of the Tianlan Empire gathered in the Royal City of Senna. The Royal City of Senna first experienced the previous battle to defend the city, and then joined forces with the reinforcements. Now, the army of nearly 400,000 has gathered in the Royal City of Senna.
But even so, the defenders left by the Tianlan Empire in the Royal City of Senna did not receive the next arrangements from the imperial capital, so they did not respond to the withdrawal of the Yanlong Legion.
Moreover, the defenders in the Senna Royal City and the commanders among them did not believe that the Yanlong Legion really decided to withdraw.
After all, before, the attitude of the Flame Dragon Legion towards the Senna Royal City was not the kind of person who would give up halfway.
So when the defenders in the Royal City of Senna saw the troops of the Yanlong Legion retreating, the Tianlan defenders in the Royal City of Senna thought that this was the strategy used by the Yanlong Legion.
Of course, this is really the plan of the Flame Dragon Legion. But what was different from the defenders in the Senna Royal City was that the Flame Dragon Legion was not for the sake of distributing troops, but fortunately, it would use troops to the Senna Royal City in the future.
This retreat of the Yanlong Legion was to lure the Tianlan Empire to pursue the troops. If it could really lure the defenders of the Tianlan Empire, then the Yanlong Legion would have won half this time.
But what Betina is worried about now is that if the Tianlan Empire sends troops to pursue him when she withdraws her troops, even if the retreat arranged by Betina is very orderly, she is also afraid of the other party's pursuit. After all, the defeat is like a mountain, and not everyone knows what Betina thinks now.
If the Tianlan Empire beat the fallen dog at this time, it would be even more difficult for the Flame Dragon Legion to preserve its strength when retreating.
Fortunately, the Tianlan Empire had not yet gathered its troops. The defenders in the Senna Royal City also believed that the Yanlong Legion had any intention of withdrawing troops, so they did not dare to advance rashly.
This situation made Betina feel relieved. Seeing that she was withdrawing troops, no enemy troops were chasing her from the Senna royal city.
Seeing that there were several times like this, Betina was unwilling to give up. Betina dared not have any whimsical ideas now. Now Betina is thinking about getting her troops out of the defense range of the Senna Royal City as soon as possible.
If the Tianlan Empire discovered that the real intention of the Flame Dragon Legion was to withdraw its troops, then the Tianlan Empire would not give up the opportunity to pursue the Flame Dragon Legion.
When all the defenders of the Lan Empire gathered in the Royal City of Senna that day, it had been almost a month since the Yanlong Legion withdrew. At this time, all the troops of the Yanlong Legion had safely retreated to the southern border of Sain.
After experiencing the failure of the Senna Royal City, all the current new forces of the Yanlong Legion finally took advantage of this period of time to rest and recuperate. However, compared with the morale of the current Yanlong Legion before the war, the current Yanlong Legion's morale is much worse than before.
After all, the battle of Sena's Royal City finally made these soldiers of the Flame Dragon Legion who had become more arrogant due to continuous victory over the years, and saw clearly the huge gap between themselves and the Tianlan Empire.
Although Senna's Royal City is famous for its easy defense and difficult attack, after all, this time the Flame Dragon Legion attacked a total of 500,000 troops. All the rear support was not defective, but even so, the Flame Dragon Legion was still defeated.
