Chapter 343

"Don't be kidding. My command ability is not as good as Li Tongling's!" Lin Tongling was also embarrassed.

"Four of our elite riding commanders, I have only a few qualifications. Even the three of you are so modest. Let me not talk about that." Commander Li refused directly.

The four elite commanders obviously don't want to take over the command of Yicheng garrison. After all, it's not so easy for them to keep Yicheng garrison with 30000 troops of Mu Shenguo army, which is far above Yicheng garrison. If they can't take over the command, they will definitely become a sinner. Of course, it may also affect their future. It took them 20 or 30 years to get to the position of master of the elite cavalry. Naturally, they didn't want to lose their position because of any mistakes. Obviously, they all felt that if Liu Cheng was not in town this time, Yicheng would be lost. Therefore, they did not dare to shoulder this responsibility.

When Ma Lan saw that none of the four elite commanders wanted to take over the command, he also showed his anger. It's time for these people to shirk from each other, and they didn't want to take on the heavy responsibility.

Even the four elite commanders are like this, not to mention the rest.

"Since the four elite commanders are not willing to take over the command of Yicheng garrison, I'll take charge." Ma Lan Mou light is certain, immediately get up, the language is startling Jiao voice says.

All the leaders were stunned, because they did not expect that Ma Lan would come out to pick up the hot potato. This is not a common courage.

But Ma Lan is all the commanders of the block, young and inexperienced. If she takes over the command of the Yicheng garrison, she will undoubtedly slap the four elite commanders in the face.

"I think it's better to wait. Maybe ye haoxuan is on his way." At this time, Wang Tongling was embarrassed and found an excuse.

The other three commanders also nodded one after another. They all felt that it was impossible for Ma Lan to take over the command. First, Ma Lan had too little experience. Second, Ma Lan was also a female. It was OK to fight small battles. But how could they let Ma Lan take over the command in this battle of defending the city, which is related to the success or failure and honor of the red dragon army? If Liu Cheng knew, they would be the same I can't finish eating.

"Ma Tongling, you can have this heart, but with your ability, you don't have to be strong." Commander Lin, commander of Jingqi, immediately sneered.

The other commanders also whispered and talked about it, and they all felt that Ma Lan was not suitable for the task.

"You..." Ma Lan sees this, is also angry beautiful Mou a stare, immediately throw body but.

At night, three miles outside Yicheng city, suddenly, like a long dragon, the fire light is winding and flowing, black and heavy, like a torrent of countless figures. Against the background of the fire light, it is rapidly coming towards Yicheng.

Seeing this, the guard on the wall of the South Gate of Yicheng immediately changed his face and quickly lit up the beacon fire on the wall to deliver the message to the base camp. When the sentry on the tower of the base camp saw the beacon fire on the wall of the south gate, he immediately went to the assembly hall to report.

All the time, when the leaders of the assembly hall heard that the enemy had arrived, their faces were sulky. It was time for them to come, but they looked at each other and it seemed that no one wanted to come first.

At this time, a guard came in in a panic and called: "all commanders, commander Ma has gathered 5000 troops and horses, and is heading for the south gate. It seems that he is going to go out of the city to meet the enemy..."

When the commanders heard this, their faces were shocked. Ma Lan, regardless of military discipline, secretly led the troops to fight

"What's the matter with Commander ma? It's no different from being killed, isn't it The faces of the commanders were more and more ugly.

"It's no use now. Which one of you will go to the south gate first and stop commander ma..." Commander Wang said with a blue face.

"Go." Commander Rui of Jingqi hesitated.

Later, commander Rui left the chamber first and rushed to the south gate to stop Ma Lan.

When Ruitong arrived at the south gate, he didn't see any 5000 soldiers at all. He just saw Ma Lan standing on the wall of the city, looking out at Zhengyi City, and constantly assembling the army of the wood God kingdom.

"Ma Tongling, what's going on? Just now, a guard said that you have gathered 5000 troops to go out of the city to fight... " Rui commander on the south gate wall, face dew puzzled looking at Ma Lan asked.

"If I don't say that, maybe when the army of the wood God Kingdom attacks the city, you will continue to buck each other and dare not bear heavy responsibilities..." Ma Lan looks back and sneers.

Commander Rui was embarrassed.

"Ma Tongling, you should know that whether you can defend Yicheng this time is very important, even related to the reputation of the red dragon Legion and the safety of the holy dragon kingdom. Therefore, you have to think twice before you leap..." In fact, it's not that some of them dare not stand up. It's just that Yicheng is in danger this time, which involves a lot of people. It's inevitable that they have worries.

"Although there are not enough defenders in Yicheng, it is not easy for mu Shenguo's army to attack Yicheng in a short time. However, none of you elite commanders is willing to stand up and command the garrison. I have to use my way. If you don't set an example, I have to stick to Yicheng in my way. After commander Rui goes back, please convey my words to other commanders. I'll be on duty tonight. The army of the kingdom of God will attack tomorrow two days later. I hope you can come up with a plan to defend the city before dawn. " Ma Lan looks serious said.When commander Rui saw this, he shook his head and sighed a little. But without saying anything, he turned and left and went back to the base camp.

When the two commanders of Rui return to the base camp and tell the other commanders what Malan said, they are surprised.

"Commander Ma is so bold that he dares to tease us like this. He really doesn't care about us..." Zhao Zhaofeng immediately rebuked.

Other commanders also showed dissatisfaction.

"In fact, commander Ma is right. It seems that the commander-in-chief can't make it back, and there is no news from ye haoxuan. Now we have to work with all of us to come up with a strategy to defend the city." Wang Tongling said after careful consideration.

When the leaders heard this, they had no opinions.

Later, the leaders also gathered their opinions and expressed their own strategies. However, because they all said their own strategies and thought their own strategies were good, they did not lose each other and fought with each other. In the end, they were red faced and even angry.

As a result,

but in the twinkling of an eye, it was already daybreak, and all the commanders who stayed up all night were a little tired. After one night, they still didn't come up with a strategy that everyone recognized. How to defend Yicheng under such a huge disparity of forces is obviously a problem for them.

At this time, a deputy commander came in in a hurry, arched his hand to all the commanders in the assembly hall and asked, "commander Ma sent me to ask you, have you thought of the strategy of guarding the city? The army of the wood kingdom is ready to move. It seems that it will be ready to attack the city soon. "

The commanders looked at each other, but they were all worried and helpless.

"Go back and tell Ma Tongling to lead 5000 troops to guard the south gate." After thinking about it, commander Wang said that at the moment, he had to wait and see how the wood Kingdom attacked, and then think about how to deal with it.

After the deputy commander took the order, he rushed to the south gate and told Ma Lan the order of the king commander.

"If so, so many of them can't even think of a strategy to defend the city. It seems that I have to rely on myself..." Ma Lan had expected that. Fortunately, she had already prepared.

"Take people to evacuate the surnames around the South Gate immediately, and send them to the North City..." Ma Lan called a city guard chief and ordered.

The captain of the city immediately took the order.

"Let the 5000 soldiers who had been trained overnight gather outside Nanmen city quickly and prepare to open the city to fight..." Then, Ma Lan and full of momentum underground.

The deputy commander, who had just passed the order on one side, was also sweating, because there were 30000 troops in Mu Shen Kingdom, and their garrison in Yicheng was only 15000, which was half of the gap. According to reason, they must stick to the gate and use the advantage of the city wall to repel Mu Shen Guo's army, but Ma Lan wanted to open the city to fight against Mu Shen Kingdom's army Naturally, it's amazing. Besides, the king commander just gave an order to stick to the city gate, but Ma Lan also made it clear that he was disobeying the military order.

"That Ma Tongling, do you really want to fight in Kaicheng? Do you want to tell some elite commanders about it first... " The deputy commander couldn't help asking.

"If you want to report, go!" Ma Lan glanced at the deputy commander, then opened the empty spirit world to summon the green spirit, and flew out of the city wall first.

It wasn't long before the 5000 soldiers who had been ready and on standby poured out of the headquarters of the red dragon army and headed for the gate of the south city. Soon after, the 5000 soldiers quickly gathered outside the gate of the South City,

at the moment, Ma Lan had been riding Qingling on his back and waiting outside the gate for a long time.

"Array..." Ma Lan, who was riding on Qingling's back, waved her hand. Soon, five thousand soldiers took her as their heart and began to form a formation. It was divided into eight pieces, like eight trigrams.

At the same time, the army of wood God has been waiting three miles outside the south gate.

"Prince, the red dragon garrison in Yicheng seems to be fighting outside the city..." At this moment, a commander looked respectful to the army, riding a high horse, surrounded by several handsome men of Tianzong level.

This Junlang man is no other than Prince muziye of the kingdom of wood.

This time, it was muziye who was in command of the 30000 troops of Mu Shenguo.

"Oh, really? How many people are there? " After listening to it at night, Muzi looked far away and calmly towards the gate of Yicheng. Sure enough, he saw the dark area outside the gate of Yicheng, and the figures were surging.

"About five thousand." That's the report.

"Five thousand? According to the intelligence, Yicheng garrison is only 15000, far inferior to us. They dare to use 5000 troops to fight outside the city. Isn't it a common courage, or don't they look at the great army of China? " Muzi said with a smile, his eyes were fixed, and then he said, "first send 5000 vanguard troops to explore the reality."

"Yes." The commander immediately took his orders.

Half a time later, the vanguard army of Mu Shenguo, composed of 5000 soldiers and spirit guards, rushed to the gate of Yicheng, the garrison of Yicheng which had already been deployed.

Come on.
