7812 Chapter 7810-
After losing most of the soldiers, the remaining auxiliary soldiers ran away.
Lin Yi used his spirit sense to scan the city and realized that it wasn’t in the hands of seitong Commandery. It was most likely that the spies in the city failed to take the city.
The city wall was covered in dried blood and some corpses that had not been collected in time.
It could be seen that the battle in curled up Flower City was also very fierce, and there were obviously many casualties in the city’s defenders.
Therefore, when seitong Commandery abandoned their camp and fled, they did not dare to open the city gate to chase after them for fear of falling into the enemy’s trap!
Lin Yi stayed outside the city for a while before turning his horse around and leaving.
Since the city was still there, there was no need to stay any longer. The credit for defending the city belonged to the city Lord and the guards, and Lin Yi wouldn’t go in and take a share.
As for the escaping troops, Lin Yi didn’t bother to chase after them. He didn’t feel any sense of accomplishment bullying a kid by himself.
If the guards unit was in good condition, they could chase for a while and increase their gains.
After all, the troops of seitong Commandery had just left, and if the cavalrymen were to give chase, there was a high chance that they could catch up!
“Marshal!”
Lin Yi went back to the outer area where the guards were resting, and two guards came out from their hiding place to greet him.
Although they had also been fighting for an entire night and were extremely tired, they still maintained sufficient vigilance and did not relax their vigilance.
Lin Yi nodded with a smile and gestured for them not to stay on guard. He followed them back to the rest area.
“Marshal!”
Song shaopeng saw Lin Yi from afar and quickly walked up to him.
The other Guards unit soldiers all stood up, standing straight to welcome their commander.
“The troops of selencopper Commandery in Duoyuan city have been evacuated. Duoyuan city is still in our hands, so it will not be in danger for the time being.”
Lin Yi waved at song shaopeng and the others,”Get on your horses and return to fire sickle city!”
Fei Du city was the last one to be attacked, and Lin Yi decided to take a rest at fire sickle city before heading back.
The journey from fire sickle city to Fei Du city was much closer than from curl Flower City. Moreover, Wu yucao had brought the main force of the Royal capital’s Garrison and should be reaching fire sickle city soon.
When the Army arrived, they would go to Fei city and have a direct battle with the selenbronze Commandery!
Before evening, Wu yucao arrived at fire sickle city with the main force of the Royal capital’s Garrison.
The news of Lin Yi’s sudden victory had already reached Wu yucao’s ears.
The first one to look for Lin Yi wasn’t Wu yucao, but Liu Ziyu. This guy had his uncle and aunt’s orders on him, and he didn’t dare to neglect them.
“Cousin Zhong da … No, Marshal! Army supervisor Liu Ziyu greets Marshal!”
Liu Ziyu remembered that this was the Army. Since he had received a military post, he couldn’t be too casual and had to follow the rules.
“Liu Jianjun, there’s no need to be so polite. Sit down and let’s talk!”
Lin Yi smiled and gestured for Liu Ziyu to sit on his left before greeting Wu yucao and the others who followed him in.
After everyone was seated, Liu Ziyu stood up and cupped his fists to Lin Yi.”Please forgive me, Marshal. The second Prince and the princess Consort have some things that they want me to say to Marshal alone.”
“Alright, come over to my side and talk!”
Lin Yi didn’t reject him and beckoned for Liu Ziyu to come closer. Liu Ziyu didn’t stand on ceremony and whispered into Lin Yi’s ear.
He didn’t say much, just a few words, telling Lin Yi not to force himself, not to do things he couldn’t do, and to avoid fighting when the enemy was strong.
Lin Yi was touched. Sima Yunqi and su lingyue really treated him like a son and took care of him.
However, their concern came too late. The three armies of the seitong Commandery had been completely annihilated.
There was only one last path left, so how could there be any situation where he was forced to act tough or things were not going to work out?
Lin Yi only used eight hundred Guard units to take down two armies, and now that the twenty thousand guards were here, what was there to be afraid of?
Liu Ziyu didn’t think too much about it. In any case, he had been entrusted with a task, and no matter how advantageous the situation was, he still had to say what he had to say.
“Alright, I understand! Liu Jianjun, you’ve worked hard!”
Lin Yi’s face didn’t change as he smiled and invited Liu Ziyu back to his seat,”I wanted to bring Liu Jianjun with me, but I was afraid that father and mother wouldn’t agree, so I didn’t mention it. Since you’re here, you can join the army. It’ll be a training experience.”
“Thank you, commander!”
Liu Ziyu cupped his hands in thanks. His position as Army supervisor was just a title in name, and he didn’t have any authority at all.
Now that Lin Yi had spoken, he could really join the army and be considered a part of it.
Although Liu Ziyu was relatively small and thin, he had longed to enter the Army since he was young, or to strategize and win a battle from a thousand miles away!
Or golden Spears and iron horses, moving unhindered!
It was a pity that he never had the right opportunity. Now, his dream could be considered to have come true.
Lin Yi nodded and stopped talking about Liu Ziyu. He turned to Wu yucao and the others.”Vice Commander-in-Chief led the Army just in time. I was just worried that I had too few troops at hand.”
“This time, I used a surprise Army to annihilate the enemy forces of seitong Commandery in fire sickle city and take back fire sickle city in one fell swoop. Let the siege of curled Flower City be resolved!”
“Now, only Fei Du city is left. They probably have received the news that the other two armies have failed, so they won’t give us any chance to surprise them. Therefore, after resting for one night, they will set off tomorrow morning and defeat the seitong Commandery. They won’t dare to covet our country for the next few years!”
The war started by seitong Commandery had already involved more than half of their elite troops.
If he returned in defeat, he would not have the courage and ability to covet Hongshang Commandery. The first thing he had to consider was whether he would be counterattacked by Hongshang Commandery.
In addition to Hongshang Commandery, there were other countries around them that were eyeing them covetously. After their strength was greatly reduced, they were likely to be besieged by other countries.
The black charm Commandery, their secret ally, had not yet fought with Hongshang Commandery. If they found out that the situation had changed, they might turn around and ally with Hongshang Commandery, splitting the seitong Commandery.
Between countries, interests were the most direct relationship. An Alliance would only take effect if there were enough interests.
Lin Yi said as he thought about what to do next.
Should they return after defeating the selencopper Commandery, or should they continue to pursue?
Those who fought with perfection and surprise would win. Those who were good at surprise were as endless as heaven and earth and as inexhaustible as the sea!
After defeating the troops of selenbronze Commandery in Fei Du city, he might be able to continue to use surprise attacks and enter the territory of selenbronze Commandery to bite off a big piece of their flesh.
“Report!”
Lin Yi had just finished speaking when a soldier rushed in and knelt down on one knee.”Fei Du city seitong Commandery’s Army has started to retreat, and a Messenger has come to ask for peace!”
