"It's useless to say anything now. Which one of you will go to the south gate first and stop Commander Ma …" Commander Wang immediately said with a green face.
"Go." Commander Rui from Elite Cavalry Commander Zhong hesitated for a moment before saying.
After that, Commander Rui left the Chamber and rushed to the south door to stop Ma Lan.
When Ri Tong rushed to the south gate with his fastest speed, he discovered that there were no more than five thousand horses. Ma Lan was just standing on top of the city wall, looking at the continuously gathering and gathering Woodgod Kingdom army outside the city.
"Commander Ma, what's going on? "Just now, a guard said that you've summoned 5000 soldiers and horses to fight …" Commander Rui asked Ma Lan with a puzzled expression after he climbed onto the southern gate's wall.
"If I don't say it this way, then perhaps by the time the Woodgod Kingdom army reached below the city walls, the two of you would still be evading the responsibility, and wouldn't dare to bear the heavy responsibility …" Ma Lan replied with a sneer.
Commander Rui instantly revealed an awkward expression.
"Commander Ma, you should know that whether or not you can preserve Yi City this time is a very important matter. It might even be related to Red Dragon Legion's reputation, as well as the safety of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, you have no choice but to think twice before proceeding …" Actually, it wasn't that Elite Cavalry Commander and the others didn't dare to come forward, but it was just because Yi City was in danger this time, and there were many implications, so it was unavoidable for them to have concerns.
"Although the current Yi City is insufficient, if we were to desperately defend, it would not be an easy matter for the Woodgod Kingdom army to take over within a short period of time. But none of you Elite Cavalry Commander are willing to stand up and command the defending army, so I can only use my method. If you don't set an example, then I can only use my method to guard the Yi City. I also ask Commander Rui to pass my words on to the other commanders when he returns. This Woodgod Kingdom army will probably launch their attack two days from now. Hopefully, you can think of a plan to defend the city before dawn … " Ma Lan said with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Commander Rui could not help but shake his head and sigh. However, he did not say anything and turned around to leave, returning to his base camp.
When Commander Rui and Commander Rui returned to their base camp and informed the other commanders of Ma Lan's words, the other commanders were also stunned.
"This Commander Ma has such big nerves. He actually dares to tease us like this. He really doesn't place us in his eyes …" Zhao Zhaofeng immediately retorted.
The other commanders had dissatisfied expressions as well.
"Actually, Commander Ma is right. It seems like Grand Commander won't be able to make it back in time, and Liu Tie has also disappeared. Right now, we only have the strength to think of a plan to defend the city." Commander Wang said after some thought.
When the commanders heard this, they didn't have any objections.
Afterwards, all the commanders also gathered their thoughts and expressed their own plans, but because they all said their own things and thought that their plans were good, they didn't lose out to each other and fought amongst themselves. In the end, they all flushed red with anger and even glared at each other.
All the commanders who had not slept the entire night revealed a somewhat exhausted expression. After an entire night had passed, they still could not think of a plan that everyone approved of, how they could defend the city in a situation with such a disparity in strength. Clearly, to them, this was an unsolvable question.
Just then, a Vice Commander walked in hastily. He cupped his hands and asked the commanders in the chamber, "Commander Ma sent me to ask the commanders, have you thought of a plan to defend the city? This Woodgod Kingdom army is already restless, and seems to be preparing to attack soon. "
The commanders looked at each other, frowning. There was nothing they could do.
"Go back and tell Commander Ma to have her lead five thousand men and horses to guard the south gate." Commander Wang thought for a while, then agreed. Right now, he could only wait and see what changes would occur, see what kind of attack method the Woodgod Kingdom was, and then think of a way to deal with it.
After the vice commander received the order, he rushed to the south gate and informed Ma Lan of Commander Wang's order.
"So it's like that. So many of them can't even think of a plan to defend the city. Looks like I can only rely on myself …" Ma Lan had already expected this to happen. Fortunately, she was prepared for it.
"Bring your men to evacuate the civilians at the south gate and move them to the north city …" Ma Lan called a city guard over and ordered.
The city guard immediately obeyed the order and left.
"Have the five thousand soldiers that you added to the training last night quickly gather outside the southern gate. Prepare to open the city gates and meet the battle …" Immediately after that, Ma Lan gave her orders with an imposing manner.
The Vice Commander who had just finished giving out the order heard, and couldn't help but perspire because there were a total of thirty thousand people in the Woodgod Kingdom army and their Yi City defense was less than fifteen thousand. According to reason, they would definitely defend at the city gates, making use of the wall's superiority to repel the attacking army of the Wood God, but Ma Lan actually wanted to open the city to meet the enemies head on. It was natural for them to be extremely shocked, and furthermore, Commander Wang had just given the order to stand at the city gates.
"That... Commander Ma, are you really going to open the city to fight? Should I report this to Elite Cavalry Commander first... " The Vice Commander couldn't help but ask.
"If you want to report it, go ahead!" Ma Lan glanced at the Vice Commander and finished her sentence, then activated her Ethereal Realm to summon her Qing Ling and flew out of the city walls first.
Not long after, five thousand soldiers, who were already on standby, poured out of the Red Dragon Legion like a tide and headed towards the south city gate. Not long after, five thousand soldiers quickly gathered outside the south city gate.
At that moment, Ma Lan was already riding on the back of the Qing Ling and waiting outside the city gate.
"Assemble the formation …" Ma Lan who was riding on the Qing Ling waved her lily-white hands, and very quickly, five thousand soldiers formed a formation with her as the center. They divided into eight parts, and formed eight gossips.
At the same time, the Woodgod Kingdom army that was already three kilometers away from the southern gate city was preparing to move.
"Sixth Prince, that Crimson Dragon Army with Yi City seems to have set up a formation outside the city to meet the enemy head-on …" At this moment, a commander was riding on a big horse with several Expert of the Celestial Master Stage's Wu steelers surrounding him with a respectful expression.
Handsome Man was none other than the Prince of Woodgod Kingdom, Mu Ziye.
This time, the one commanding the thirty thousand strong Woodgod Kingdom was Mu Ziye.
"Oh, really? How many are there? " After Mu Ziye heard this, his eyes looked into the distance as he looked calmly towards the direction of the Yi City city gate. Sure enough, people were moving about when he saw the black mass outside the Yi City city gate.
"About five thousand." The commander reported.
"Five thousand?" According to the intelligence they have, the number of people defending Yi City is only fifteen thousand, and their forces are far weaker than ours, yet they actually dare to use five thousand of their troops to meet the enemy outside the city. Mu Ziye said with a smile and a sharp gaze. Then he said, "Send out five thousand vanguards to investigate the situation."
"Yes." The commander immediately obeyed and left.
