Purple Bamboo

"Open your mouth." Zi held a piece of pastry and sent it to Ye Yinzhu's mouth.

Ye Yinzhu habitually opened his mouth and took a bite, um, osmanthus flower cake, his eyes lit up, he swallowed it in two or three bites, took another bite, and ate the rest into his mouth.

This is a unique pastry of Donglong. It is said that only the royal chef of Donglong can make it. It is a simple and small piece of square pastry. Delicious, there is still a lingering fragrance after eating, and the aftertaste is endless.Ye Yinzhu just ate it once and fell in love with it. When going out this time, Zi specially asked Lu Tezi for a space ring that can preserve food, and it contained pastries and snacks made by Donglong chefs.

At this time, the army of Zither City had been divided into two groups. The team led by Ye Yinzhu went directly to Dongfeng City in the rear through space teleportation. After a brief replenishment, Ye Yinzhu got Princess Nina from the golden The warrant was sent quickly, and then they headed towards Sfort City, the largest town in the eastern border of Milan. The distance from Dongfeng City to Sfort City is about [-] kilometers, and the march was more than half, and it happened to be lunch time. After everyone had eaten, they were taking a short rest.

Swallowing the last bite of cinnamon cake, Ye Yinzhu looked in the direction of Sforte City, with a faint light in his eyes. The real war is about to begin. Whether he can help Milan withstand the offensive of the Florians is about to start. This war is the most important thing in the land. It seems that the food and grass of the Fro army has been exhausted. If their supplies have not kept up within a few days, the Fro army will be in an embarrassing situation.

When everyone in Zither City came to Sfort City, it was already evening. Although Ye Yinzhu left most of the combat power of Zither City to Oliveira, the strength in his hands was still the same. Not weak, although the two hundred sharp claw druids can't compete with Behemoth Behemoth, but their powerful strength and magic are enough to bring strong support to the whole team, not to mention, there are two other beasts beside Ye Yinzhu. The 10,000 Eastern Dragon elites led by purple-level powerhouses can only join after careful selection, and each of them is at least above the green-level high-level. , It is absolutely impossible to choose so many masters.

When more than [-] people came to the city of Sfort, they were immediately discovered by patrolling soldiers on the city.

"Who is it? Stop." In an instant, dozens of torches were thrown from the top of the city, and landed in front of Ye Yinzhu and his party. Against the background of the fire, their location was immediately clearly seen.

This is also within the Milan Empire. If it appeared on the other side of Sforte City, perhaps Ye Yinzhu and the others would be greeted by Arrow Rain.

Seeing that Ye Yinzhu and the others didn't have a mount, they all came on foot, the patrolling soldiers on the top of the city seemed to relax a bit, and asked again.

Ye Yinzhu said loudly, "I am Ye Yinzhu, Earl of the Empire. I came to Sfort City by His Majesty's order to take over the control of the city. Please come out and pick me up as the commander of the Eastern Legion."

Hearing Ye Yinzhu's words, the patrolling soldiers at the top of the city were obviously stunned for a moment. Ye Yinzhu said that he came by the emperor's order, and no one dared to delay, so he immediately reported back.

After a short time, there were obviously more Milan soldiers on the top of the city. Surrounded by a group of generals with bright armor, a burly general came to the top of the city and looked at Ye Yinzhu with the help of the torch below.

"I am the head of the Eastern Legion of the Empire, Ancelotti, what is the emperor's order?"

Ye Yinzhu smiled indifferently, and Zizhu's grudge poured into his voice and clearly transmitted to the top of the city, "The emperor's order is here, Marshal Ancelotti, please take it." He said.A group of dazzling purple light suddenly rose from Ye Yinzhu's body. In the dark night, the purple light shone brightly, and immediately became the focus of attention of all the soldiers at the top of the city. Like a sharp blade, he shot towards Ancelotti.

Seeing the appearance of the purple light, Ancelotti was taken aback. Of course he knew what a purple-level powerhouse represented, and he immediately trusted Ye Yinzhu and his group, but seeing the scroll that was approaching quickly, he didn't know for a while. What to do, the power of the purple level is not something he can handle, but, in front of so many colleagues, he can't show weakness. In desperation, he mobilized his whole body to fight, and under a layer of deep blue light shrouded , raised his hand to receive the purple light.

To Ancelotti's surprise, the purple light that seemed eager to reach him suddenly slowed down, and the purple light turned into a halo and dissipated. The scroll just fell into his grasp, so there was no trace of attack power exists.

Wiping off a cold sweat secretly, Ancelotti didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly unfolded the scroll in his hand to look at it. The order on the scroll was very simple: send the lord of Zither City, Ye Yinzhu, Earl of the Empire, to take over as the commander of the Eastern Legion, and everything in the Eastern Legion Generals must obey Ye Yinzhu's orders unconditionally.

The inscription is the Imperial High Command, and there is also a Milan Red Cross Shield micro-seal of the Milan Empire royal family clearly printed there.

The magic fluctuations on this emperor's order couldn't be more orthodox, and it can't be a fake.

The reason why Ye Yinzhu showed his purple-level strength as soon as he came up was because he knew that in the face of these soldiers who only recognize strength, their own strength is the most important, and his purple-level strength has indeed become the best stepping stone .

"Kaicheng, welcome." Ancelotti put away the warrant and immediately issued an order.

When Ancelotti personally greeted him at the city gate and saw that the person walking in front of him was a young man who seemed to be only about 20 years old, he couldn't help being stunned.

"You are Earl Ye Yinzhu?" The Eastern Legion is located in the east of Milan, and the news is blocked. Although Ye Yinzhu's reputation in the empire has long been far away, no one in the Eastern Legion has heard of him. Ancelotti was a bit puzzled that the person who succeeded him was so young.

Ye Yinzhu took a few steps forward, stretched out his right hand, and under the light of the surrounding torches, the red brilliance came out. It was the Milan Red Cross shield that Emperor Silvio the Great gave him back then. , the meaning of this micro-stamp is only four words, as if I am here in person.

Almost immediately, Ancelotti and his generals knelt down on one knee and saluted Ye Yinzhu and the badge in his hand respectfully.

The alternation of coaching positions is much easier than Ye Yinzhu imagined. With the warrant and the Milan Red Cross shield micro, Ancelotti no longer has any doubts about Ye Yinzhu. Before carrying out the handover ceremony with Ye Yinzhu, surrounded by Ye Yinzhu and his party, they entered the city and went straight to the meeting hall.

Ye Yinzhu was given the main seat. Among the more than [-] people who came with Ye Yinzhu, there were Zi, Ming, Lan Qing, and Mei Rujian in the meeting hall at this time, and the patriarch of the Claw Druid did not To participate in the discussion, for them, it is enough to obey Ye Yinzhu's order.

"Marshal Ancelotti, please tell us about the current situation." Ye Yinzhu sat on the main seat and said lightly.

The generals of the former Eastern Legion looked at this young man with a bit of a strange feeling. It can be said that none of the generals present was younger than Ye Yinzhu. It is difficult for everyone to feel contemptuous of the temperamental Ye Yinzhu, especially the faint coldness that occasionally flashes from Ye Yinzhu's eyes, which makes these generals who have not galloped on the battlefield for a long time faintly fear in their hearts Feel present.

"Now you are the marshal, and the Eastern Army will be handed over to you. The Floro army suddenly retreated two days ago. At this time, they are camping a hundred miles east of the city. It was so peaceful that even their spies couldn't see it. Before that, our army had fought several battles with the Florians. Although we had three cities for defense, including Sfort City, the enemy's attack was overwhelming. It was extremely violent, and our army suffered heavy losses, with more than [-] soldiers killed so far, and the overall combat effectiveness has dropped by more than [-]%." Ancelotti said.

Ye Yinzhu nodded slowly, what Ancelotti said was not far from the news he had already received, "Okay, pass on my order and order all the defenders in the other two cities, as well as the supplies and civilians, to move as quickly as possible." Move to this city, Marshal Ancelotti, this matter will be arranged by you personally, I can only give you two days."

"What?" Ancelotti whispered, and the generals of the Eastern Army behind him also caused a commotion.

Ye Yinzhu just came here.This first order surprised the generals of the Eastern Legion.

"Marshal Ye, can you tell me why? Only three cities in a row can keep the enemy out. If you give up two cities, it is equivalent to giving up the entire line of defense! If the Florians surround the city, then I'm afraid we won't even be able to fly out of the fly." Ye Yinzhu said in a deep voice, "I had already thought clearly before issuing this order. Even all the supplies and logistical support personnel in Dongfeng City, which is more than 300 miles away, will also be relocated here.”

After the generals heard his words, the riot suddenly became more intense. For a while, various voices continued to appear. Although they did not dare to object explicitly, no one, including Ancelotti, carried out Ye Yinzhu's orders. The command.

"Do you want to disobey the order?" Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly, and slowly stood up from the commander-in-chief.

Ancelotti bowed, "We dare not disobey the order, but please explain clearly to us, Marshal. After all, this is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians belonging to our Eastern Legion."

A light flashed in Ye Yinzhu's eyes, "The purpose of concentrating all the power in Sfort City is to avoid being defeated by the opponents one by one. Although I'm not sure yet, I'm [-]% sure that within five days, the Foluo people will be defeated." Launch the most violent attack on us, and get our food and supplies regardless of the loss. Instead of spreading the defense and giving the opponent an opportunity, it is better to concentrate all our forces here and wait for them to attack. As long as we can resist for more than ten days, The Florians will retreat without attacking themselves."

Seeing Ancelotti's disbelief, Ye Yinzhu smiled lightly, "Generals, Marshal Ancelotti, I wonder if you saw a cloud of fireworks rising in the east a few days ago."

Ancelotti was stunned for a moment, "Fireworks? There seemed to be a faint fire in the east a few days ago." As one of the imperial marshals, although his status is far inferior to Maldini and Seedorf, he can command the Eastern Legion. Not a fool, from Ye Yinzhu's words, he suddenly understood something, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Could it be that the food and grass of the Foluo people..."

The purple behind Ye Yinzhu said lightly, "Three days ago, we burned a 50 Florian army and built a logistics supply center on the border of Floro. At least 50 people had half a month's grain and all kinds of supplies. It was burned in the fire, which is why the Florians retreated a hundred miles away and could not bear it."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. For the Eastern Legion, there was no better news than this. For a while, cheers resounded throughout the conference hall.

Ye Yinzhu walked up to Ancelotti and stood still. He was half a head taller than Ancelotti, and he was a bit condescending, "Marshal Ancelotti, we have burned the food and grass of the Florians now. , according to our estimation, their own slack food and grass are almost used up now, in order to get supplies, so they stand still, but now I have opened a big net behind the Flo army, waiting for their supplies to arrive, may I ask , if you were the commander-in-chief of Floro, what choice would you make if you waited for the supplies to run out for a long time?" Ancelotti's expression changed sharply, "You mean, sink the boat?"

Ye Yinzhu nodded, and repeated Oliveira's original analysis "... Therefore, what we have to do now is to protect our own food and grass. Entering the interior of our country, we have cut off the back road, so what if we let them pass through and surround them? With the supplies, food and grass that will be transported from the surrounding two cities and Dongfeng City, we can support it for three to half a year. What about the Florians? They can only be hungry, and they don’t need to grow up. As long as we hold out for ten days, the Florians will surely be defeated. Ruining the boat may arouse their strong fighting spirit for a while, but this time will never last long. If we can withstand their first wave, then, if we go all out, we will be exhausted again, and we will be exhausted three times.

Ancelotti frowned, "Master Marshal, are you sure that the enemy army will come to attack us?"

Ye Yinzhu smiled indifferently, "Unless they get enough supplies, the Florians have only two choices, either to retreat, or to advance, to retreat. The Florians may not be willing to part with them. They are more anxious than us. Dongjiang, yes The weakest link in our Milan's defense, the Florians are the most critical step in Landias's line. They are absolutely unwilling to give us a chance to buffer, so they can only move forward. Generals, this is a battle. Gambling, yes, this is a gamble, let me ask, if we confront the Florians head-on, what will happen to the Eastern Legion? Is it annihilation or victory? Presumably, everyone knows better than me. If so, why? Why don't we gamble on this? Now, you only have to choose to trust me, and those who believe in me can completely cut off the supply line of the Florians, at least completely cut off their supply before their army withdraws to their home country."

Ancelotti's breath obviously became short, and after a while, he nodded resolutely, "Okay, the old man will gamble with the marshal, so what if we lose? At worst, we will die together with that despicable Florian."

The city of Sfort started to move, and Ancelotti still had some ability. Within two days, the two nearby cities became completely empty cities, and all materials, supplies, and manpower were concentrated in Sfort City. And Dongfeng City's logistics supply army was also led by Jin Jin into Sforte at this time. This city is worthy of being the largest defensive fortress in the eastern border of Milan. It accommodates nearly 50 soldiers and civilians, but it still does not seem crowded. .

Time is the most tense for the Milanese. Ancelotti and his generals, according to Ye Yinzhu's request, continued to strengthen the fortifications of Sforte City, various defensive facilities, the golden 10 People's logistics supply troops brought a large amount of luggage and equipment, which had not yet been transported to Qincheng. Although Ye Yinzhu was a little distressed, there was nothing more important than resisting the attack of the Florians.
