"In case the commander-in-chief cannot come back in time, someone must command the Yicheng garrison."
At this time, Commander Rui, one of the elite cavalry commanders, said.
"Didn't the Commander-in-Chief promise that if Bai Feiyu can rush back to Yicheng, he will hand over the Red Dragon Token and the command of the Yicheng garrison to him?"
Commander Wang said as he took it out from his arms The red dragon token was held like a holy object.
When the commanders saw the Red Dragon Token, they couldn't help but look shocked.
Before, when Liu Cheng said he wanted to hand over the Red Dragon Token to Bai Feiyu, the commanders had not yet reacted because of the emergency. , it was not until they rushed back to Yicheng safe and sound that they remembered that Liu Cheng had handed over such an important Red Dragon Token to Bai Feiyu, and were surprised.
Because this Red Dragon Token is like a military talisman in the Red Dragon Legion, it can command 30,000 troops.
At the same time, it is also a symbol of status.
Apart from the general commander, only Deputy Commander Liu Yunxuan has the Red Dragon Token in the entire Red Dragon Legion. , Therefore, Liu Cheng wants to hand over the Red Dragon Token to Bai Feiyu, which is equivalent to entrusting Bai Feiyu with an important task.
But it is precisely because of this that the commanders are very strange.
"Didn't Bai Feiyu, the commander-in-chief, just be dismissed from his position as commander of the elite cavalry and demoted back to the logistics camp?
But why did the commander-in-chief hand over the Red Dragon Token and the command of Yicheng to Bai Feiyu again?"
Very quickly , a commander mentioned it.
The commanders also looked at each other, and no one knew why Liu Cheng would make such a contradictory decision.
Of course, they didn't know that the Red Dragon Token had already belonged to Bai Feiyu before, just because after Liu Yunxuan's accident, Liu Cheng took back the Red Dragon Token because he wronged Bai Feiyu.
"That Bai Feiyu hasn't appeared yet.
I think he's probably a coward.
Huh, let him command the Yicheng garrison.
I really don't know what the commander-in-chief is thinking."
Among the commanders, there was also Bai Feiyu Zhao Zhaofeng, who had deep grudges, felt unbalanced when he heard that Liu Cheng actually wanted to hand over the Red Dragon Token to Bai Feiyu and let Bai Feiyu command the Yicheng garrison.
Therefore, he wished that Bai Feiyu would not show up.
Among the commanders, only Ma Lan knew the reason best, but Bai Feiyu hadn't appeared yet, which made her extremely worried, because the 30,000-strong army of the Wood God Kingdom was about to attack the city.
If there is no one to command, the Yicheng garrison will be like a dike bursting and will fall apart in an instant.
"That Bai Feiyu will definitely not come.
I think we should choose one of the four elite cavalry commanders, Commander Wang, Commander Rui, Commander Li, and Commander Lin, to command the defenders."
A Qianqi commander suggested. road.
"I think Commander Wang is fine.
Commander Wang is the most senior elite cavalry commander of our Red Dragon Legion, and he is also the right-hand man of the Grand Commander.
Otherwise, the Grand Commander would not hand over the Red Dragon Token to Commander Wang.
This probably means "If Bai Feiyu doesn't come, Commander Wang will command the defenders," Zhao Zhaofeng said immediately.
"I can't do it.
If anyone has the ability and experience to command the defenders, it must be Commander Rui."
Commander Wang seemed to have received a hot potato, showing a somewhat strange look and hurriedly waved his hand.
"I'd better forget it.
Last time when the Mu Shen Kingdom's army reached the third pass, they were tricked by a traitor and almost lost the guards at Jiatian Pass.
I think it's better to be commanded by Commander Lin.
This Yicheng Are Commander Lin always in charge of the defense forces and the base camp's defenders?"
Commander Rui didn't seem to want to take on this important responsibility.
"Don't be ridiculous, my commanding ability as a three-legged cat is not as good as Commander Li."
Commander Lin also looked embarrassed.
"Among our four elite cavalry commanders, I am the least qualified.
Even the three of you are so humble, let alone me."
Commander Li refused directly.
The four elite cavalry commanders obviously did not want to take over the command of the Yicheng garrison.
After all, the 30,000 troops of the Mu Shen Kingdom army were far greater than the Yicheng garrison.

It was not that easy to defend Yicheng.
It's an easy thing.
If you take over the power of command and fail to hold on to it in the end, you will definitely become a sinner for the ages.
Of course, it may also affect your future future.
They had also been around for 20 to 30 years before taking the position of commander of the elite cavalry.
Naturally, they did not want to lose their position due to any mistakes.
Obviously, they all felt that if Liu Cheng was not in charge this time, Yicheng would definitely be lost, so they did not dare to bear this responsibility at all.
Ma Lan also looked angry when he saw that none of the four elite cavalry commanders wanted to take over the command.
How long had it been, and these people were still shirking each other and not wanting to take on the important responsibility.
And even the four Jingqi commanders are like this, let alone the other remaining Qianqi commanders.
"Since the four elite cavalry commanders are not willing to take over the command of the Yicheng garrison, then I will take command."
Ma Lan's eyes were determined, he stood up immediately, and said in a surprisingly sweet voice.
All the commanders present were stunned when they heard this, because they never expected that Ma Lan would step forward to take this hot potato.
This was not an ordinary boldness.
But Ma Lan is the youngest of all the commanders here and has the least experience.
If she takes over the command of the Yicheng garrison, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the four elite cavalry commanders.
"I think it's better to wait.
Maybe Bai Feiyu is already on his way."
At this time, Commander Wang also looked embarrassed and found an excuse to evade.
The other three commanders also nodded, and they all felt that it was impossible for Ma Lan to take over the command.
Firstly, it was because Ma Lan had too little experience, and secondly, Ma Lan was also a female.
It was okay to fight in a small battle, but this How could they let Ma Lan take over the command of a city-defending battle that was related to the success or failure and honor of the Red Dragon Legion?
If Liu Cheng knew about it, the four of them would not be able to finish the meal.
"Commander Ma, as long as you have the heart, it's enough.
However, with your ability, it's better not to force yourself to get ahead."
Commander Lin from the elite cavalry commander immediately said sarcastically.
The other commanders were also talking to each other, and they all felt that Ma Lan was not suitable for this important task.
"You guys..."
When Ma Lan saw this, she was so angry that her beautiful eyes widened and she immediately walked out.
At nightfall, three miles outside Yicheng City, a firelight suddenly flowed like a long dragon.
Countless figures like a black torrent were rushing toward Yicheng against the backdrop of the firelight.
When the guards on the wall at the south gate of Yicheng saw this, their expressions immediately changed.
They hurriedly lit the beacon fire on the wall and conveyed the news to the base camp.
When the sentries on the high tower of the base camp saw the beacon fire burning on the south gate wall, they immediately went to the meeting hall to report.
When the commanders who had been staying in the meeting hall heard that the enemy troops had arrived, they all looked angry.
This was what was supposed to happen, but they looked at each other a few times, and it seemed that no one wanted to take the lead.
At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic and called: "Commanders, Commander Ma has gathered five thousand soldiers and horses and is heading towards the south gate.
It seems that he is going out of the city to meet the enemy."
When all the commanders heard this, their expressions changed with shock.
At this time, Ma Lan actually ignored military discipline and privately led troops to fight.
"What on earth is Commander Ma doing?
He leads five thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to fight.
Isn't that the same as committing suicide?"
The expressions on the faces of all the commanders became uglier.
"It's useless to say anything now.

Which of you should go to the south gate first and stop Commander Ma?"
Commander Wang immediately said with a green face.
"Go."
Commander Rui, one of the Jingqi commanders, said hesitantly.
Afterwards, Commander Rui left the meeting hall and rushed to the south gate to stop Ma Lan.
But after Ruitong rushed to the south gate as quickly as possible, he found that there were no five thousand troops at all.
He only saw Ma Lan standing on the city wall, looking up at the outside of Yicheng, constantly gathering and gathering momentum.
The army of the Wood God Kingdom is about to go out.
"Commander Ma, what is going on here?
Just now a guard said that you have gathered five thousand soldiers and horses to go out of the city to fight."
Commander Rui asked after climbing the south gate wall and looking at Ma Lan with a puzzled expression.
"If I didn't say this, maybe by the time the Wood God Kingdom's army attacks the city, you will still be shirk-passing each other and not dare to take the heavy responsibility," Ma Lan replied with a sneer as she looked back.
Commander Rui suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"Commander Ma, you should know that whether you can defend Yicheng this time is of great importance, and it even affects the reputation of the Red Dragon Legion and the safety of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, you have to think twice before acting," Commander Rui explained.
In fact, It's not that their elite cavalry commanders don't dare to stand up, it's just that because Yicheng is in danger this time and many people are involved, it's inevitable for them to have concerns.
"Although the defenders of Yicheng are currently insufficient, if they defend desperately, it will not be easy for the Mu Shen Kingdom army to capture Yicheng in a short time.
But none of you elite cavalry commanders will If you are willing to stand up and command the defenders, then I will only use my own method.
If you continue to fail to lead by example, If so, I can only defend Yicheng in my own way.
I also ask Commander Rui to convey my message to the other commanders when he returns.
I will be responsible for this tonight.
The army of the Wood God Kingdom should launch an attack in two days.
I hope you can come up with a strategy to defend the city before dawn," Ma Lan said seriously.
Seeing this, Commander Rui couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, but without saying anything, he turned around and left, returning to the base camp.
When the two commanders Rui returned to the base camp and told the other commanders Ma Lan's original words, they also looked shocked.
"This Commander Ma is so brave.
He dares to tease us like this.
He really doesn't take us seriously," Zhao Zhaofeng immediately scolded.
The other commanders also looked dissatisfied.
"Actually, what Commander Ma said is right.
It seems that the commander-in-chief will never come back, and there is no news about Bai Feiyu.
Now we can only join forces and come up with a strategy to defend the city."
Wang The commander said after careful consideration.
When all the commanders heard this, they had no objections.
Later, all the commanders also brainstormed and expressed their own strategies.
However, because they each had their own opinions, and they all believed that their own strategies were good and they could not lose to each other, they started to scheming, and in the end, they became red-faced and even looked at each other angrily.
But in the blink of an eye, it was already dawn, and all the commanders who had been up all night looked a little tired.
After a night, they still couldn't think of a strategy that everyone recognized.
How could they defend the city under such a huge disparity in strength?
Defending Yicheng is obviously an unsolvable problem for them.
At this time, a deputy commander hurriedly walked in, raised his hands and asked the commanders in the meeting hall: "Commander Ma sent me to ask all the commanders, have you figured out the strategy to defend the city?
The army of the Wood God Kingdom is already ready to move.
It seems that we are about to prepare to attack the city.”
All the commanders looked at each other, but they all looked sad and had no idea what to do.
"You go back and tell Commander Ma that she will lead five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the south gate first."

Commander Wang thought for a while and then responded.
For now, he can only wait and see what happens to the Wood God Kingdom. , and then think about countermeasures.
After the deputy commander received the order, he hurried to the south gate and informed Ma Lan of Commander Wang's order.
"Sure enough, there are so many of them and they can't even come up with a strategy to defend the city.
It seems I have to rely on myself."
Ma Lan had expected it.
Fortunately, she was already prepared.
"You immediately lead people to evacuate the people in the south gate area and relocate them to the north city."
Ma Lan called a city guard chief and ordered.
The city guard chief immediately took the order and left
