After hearing Mel say this, even if Li Yi is stupid, he can hear Mel's meaning. Since they have been replaced by war horses, this proves that the number of cavalry in the Central Army should have reached a very considerable level.
With a little excitement, Li Yi asked with a smile: "Mer, I ask you, in the city now, except for the cavalry troops with a large population of ten thousand people I saw just now, how much cavalry is there? Compared with the group you practiced, their combat effectiveness is very different."
"Hehe, regiment commander, now our Central Army has five cavalry regiments and more than 10,000 war horses. As long as we fight on the plains, I dare say that even the Flame Dragon Army will be not so easy to get a bargain with their poor corps combat effectiveness. And our preparation of war is also a help that cannot be underestimated. Once the war starts in the future, we can send a cavalry regiment that needs to be fought for time, and we can send a cavalry regiment of 10,000 people to the destination day and night. On the way, we change horses and don't replace people. I think with such speed, which unit can compete for time with us." Mel said with a proud look on his face, and after that, he looked at Li Yi with a smile, as if waiting for Li Yi's praise.
When Li Yi heard Mel's introduction, it was no longer as simple as the coldness in front of him. Although Li Yi was not very good at placing troops and using any military strategy, Li Yi still understood the principle that soldiers are more powerful than speed. Just hearing Mel's words, whether to replace horses or not, Li Yi could imagine that if such a team rushed to a certain place of struggle, it would be possible to capture it.
And what Mel said was a total of 50,000 cavalry, which was only like this in the entire Central Army back then. Moreover, as the strongest combat-capacity legion of all the legions of the Tianlan Empire, the Central Army had the largest number of cavalry. But even so, Li Yi had never heard of that time that there was a knight regiment in the Central Army that had tens of thousands of war horses.
When Li Yi thought that Mel had silently cultivated such a powerful cavalry team, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. When it comes to cavalry lethality on the plain, Li Yi knew very well. As long as it was not a tough battle, the opponent had dug a dangerous horse pit and tripped the horse rope before the war was started. Then if the infantry and the cavalry faced the plain, the result would be that the cavalry would only blow like a whirlwind, and the infantry would have no power to fight back.
This is not an exaggeration. The combat effectiveness of cavalry is not something that infantry can compete with. According to Li Yi's current understanding, there seems to be few pure cavalry troops in the entire southern border of Sain.
Even when Li Yi discussed the development of the Yanlong Legion with Betina, he seemed to have only heard that there were only 30,000 cavalry troops in the Yanlong Legion. This was the team that Betina and the others had worked hard to form. After all, the entire Yanlong Legion controlled a total of 500,000 troops. They really couldn't afford money, and they also couldn't afford time to train a well-trained cavalry team.
But Mel is different. When almost all the strength in Sainian territory regarded the Central Army as nothing, Mel worked diligently and cultivated a cavalry team that was enough to compete with the Tianlan Empire in ten years.
After thinking about this, Li Yi patted Meier on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Brother, good."
Hearing Li Yi's solemn praise, Mel just scratched his head honestly, and then said to Li Yi with a smile: "Captain, you should tell me what we should do in the future. To be honest, brothers have been in this small city for too many years, and we don't want to live so cowardly anymore. We are the legion and ask ourselves the top soldiers. So we still hope to be able to charge on the battlefield, even if we were wrapped in a horse and corpse in the end, it would be better than to die in this small broken city."
Mel's words were really touching. Although in the past ten years, there has been basically no one in the southern border of Sain. But because of this, all the officers and soldiers in the Central Army have lived a comfortable life that should not have appeared.
Even if a soldier occasionally goes out to wander around as a vendor, he can only fight a few small battles. For cavalrymen who have been training all day long, almost all have cooperated with the cavalry formation and charge formation, what they most want now is to rush out of Lingcheng one day and let them wave their long weapons to kill the enemy. This is the biggest gift they give them.
So when Mel saw Li Yi blindly insisting on cooperating with the Flame Dragon Legion to use troops to the Tianlan Empire, although Mel was a little timid, this was indeed the biggest dream of Mel and many brothers in the Central Army.
Finally, it’s time to get started, and there is no need to train helplessly day after day in this magistrate city.
Now not only Mel is excited, but even Li Yi is also very excited. Because Li Yi never expected that Mel spent ten years to cultivate such an excellent cavalry team. With such a terrifying force, Li Yi led them to gallop across the battlefield, how happy it would be.
After reminiscing with Mel and notifying Mel of the news, Li Yi temporarily left the Central Army and ran to the place where his last acquaintance was in the southern border of Sain.
Wu'an City, the place where the Wu'an Legion started. It is no longer as peaceful as Li Yi came here ten years ago.
The current Wu'an City has become the most prosperous city in the southern border of Sai because of Margaret's management. Because the Wu'an Legion has already paid tribute to the Yanlong Legion, the Sai Legion has long since failed to do anything in recent years. Therefore, the current Sai'an Legion is like a peaceful and prosperous era. There is no war or disaster. Merchants come and go, and the people are self-sufficient, which is quite the shadow of an empire.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi smiled knowingly. But Li Yi had no intention of spending his time on it and spreading his body. After just a few ups and downs, Li Yi came to the mansion of the lord of Wu'an City again.
There was nothing special about meeting with Margaret. After all, Li Yi and Margaret were just hired. Although they also felt a lot of emotion when they met, there was no special relationship between them. The news that they were going to do was to be sent to inform the Yanlong Legion. But since Li Yi came this time, he also told Margaret.
Although Margaret is just a female, she is a competitive person after all. When she heard that she wanted to take down the Sai Legion first and then immediately switch to the Tianlan Empire, this war madman was also very happy.
Li Yi did not make any arrangements for Margaret because Li Yi knew that the Wu'an Legion was different from the Central Legion. His identity here was not as transcendent as in the Central Legion. So Li Yi simply notified Margaret, and then discussed Margaret's future military use situations, and Li Yi left Wu'an City again.
Since learning that the Central Army already had such a considerable cavalry team, Li Yi began to be eager to see what kind of combat effectiveness this team would exert if it was pulled to the battlefield.
After sending someone to the Yanlong Legion to inform Betina that everything was ready, Li Yi quietly waited in the Central Legion for the next step.
As a result, the Yanlong Legion did not let Li Yi wait for a long time. After Li Yi stayed in the Central Legion for only three days, the Yanlong Legion sent someone to send a letter to Li Yi.
The content in the letter is very simple, just a sentence is written: "Take troops to the China-Pakistan province and prepare to take action."
"Betina, do you confirm that the strategy Elena came up with will definitely succeed?" Li Yi asked Betina with a serious look on his face.
When Li Yi rushed back to the Yanlong Legion again, the first thing the Betina sisters did was to tell Li Yi that when talking to them in the future, the one who didn’t have to keep talking was His Royal Highness the Princess or something, as long as he was called by his name like ten years ago.
So Li Yi simply changed the name that he said was a little unpleasant and called out Betina's name.
At this time, Betina and Li Yi were leading a cavalry team to march on the plains in the southern border of Sain.
The so-called Elena strategy mentioned by Li Yi seemed very troublesome to Li Yi, so although Li Yi did not object to this, when he came out with the army, Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
When Bettina heard Li Yi’s question, she was also stunned. After a while of silence, Bettina smiled and said, “Hehe, Li Yi, to be honest, I also think that the method my sister Elena used this time is quite troublesome. But after so many years, she has never disappointed me, so I am used to following her arrangements in everything. I just need to execute her orders seriously outside."
"Haha, you are optimistic. Then is it you who decides or Elena in your Flame Dragon Legion?" Li Yi said jokingly when he heard Betina's answer.
"We are sisters. What we think about is how to restore the country. How can we care about who has the greatest power between the two? She is good at internal affairs, and I am good at war. Isn't this absent from this kind of cooperation? "Although there is a lot of troubles?" Although there is inevitably some suspicion of sowing discord in Li Yi's words, Betina knew that Li Yi obviously did not mean this, so Betina still answered casually.
"Who will you two ascend to the throne of the empire after the matter is done?" Seeing Bettina so open-minded, Li Yi asked reluctantly, looking like a complete 38-year-old.
Hearing Li Yi's question, Betina couldn't help but put away the relaxation in her heart. She looked at Li Yi with a pair of beautiful eyes, and Betina asked with a little question: "Li Yi, why are you in the mood to ask about these things? Do you also have any ideas about the future throne of our Sai Empire?"
Seeing that he was finally misunderstood by Betina, Li Yi also touched his nose awkwardly. He never expected that he would just ask casually, which would make the other party react like this.
"Haha, don't get me wrong. I just asked casually. If your secret is involved, there is no need to say it explicitly." Although it was a little embarrassed, Li Yi had never had any thoughts about that shitty throne in his heart, so Li Yi said frankly.
"I didn't misunderstand. I just asked curiously. Actually, I'm really curious whether you are smart or stupid. Even if Elena and I are taller, they are just females. After our identity was revealed, most of the people who defected to us for our name were mostly for the prince of my brother Barack. Even if major events can be accomplished in the future, the throne will not be my brother Barack." After saying that, Betina looked at Li Yi angrily. Betina was very curious. Why did Li Yi keep asking questions for such a simple matter?
After hearing Betina say this, Li Yi suddenly realized. No wonder Li Yi forgot Barack. This time Li Yi came back and only met Barack.
Li Yi and Betina met ten years ago because Barack was plotted against in "Red Fang". In fact, since then, Li Yi has no good impression of the little prince of the Empire who is full of playboys. After coming back this time and meeting Barack, Li Yi completely extinguished his hope for Barack.
Now, after ten years, Barack has not only not improved at all, but has shown signs of retreating. And Barack was originally a strong and handsome guy. But now, although Barack has not reached the point of being full of fat, he has gained weight all over his body and his steps are sloppy when walking.
All signs show that Barack has completely become a real playboy. Li Yi thought to himself that if Betina and Elena had not been working wholeheartedly on the matter of the Yanlong Legion in the past ten years, then their little brother would have led the Yanlong Legion to destruction long ago, and he would not have had any good endings.
But compared with this incompetent imperial prince, Betina and Elena are much more dazzling. Although they are just women, they really give their all their hearts for the future of the Flame Dragon Legion.
And among the two sisters, Elena is good at internal affairs. After so many years of management, the Yanlong Legion has been operating well without being financially struggling due to constant wars.
Betina shined even more. As a woman, although her strength now seems to be far inferior to Li Yi, her mid-level strength at the sixth level is considered a first-class strongman even if it is placed on the Holy Yuan Continent. During the Flame Dragon Legion, Li Yi also fought Betina several times at Betina's repeated requests.
Although Bettina lost quickly, in Li Yi's opinion, Bettina's current combat power cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, in Li Yi's impression, if the Flame Dragon Legion can really successfully confront the Tianlan Empire this time and eventually overthrow the Tianlan Empire's regime and thus establish its own regime, then the throne of the new empire should also be selected from the two sisters.
If that Barack still develops according to the current trend, he will sooner or later withdraw from the central position of the Flame Dragon Legion.
Of course, Barak is actually a puppet now. His existence is nothing more than to accumulate popularity. If he had not been the identity of a prince, he would not even be able to catch up with a small soldier in the Flame Dragon Legion.
