During this time, Li Zijun carefully studied the Jihua books that Fred gave him. While he lamented Fred's natural talents, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for God's unfair treatment of him! If Fred hadn't been bad at his deeds, and if someone was willing to give him a chance to show his ambitions, there would definitely be one more famous general in the history of the Youlan Continent!

Li Zijun has already made a decision, whether Fred is willing to be used by him in the future or not, after this war, he will want the imperial court to recommend Fred to enter the staff headquarters of the Dongyu Empire. If Fred had been in command this time, or had been able to take his advice, the war in the northern part of the empire would never have been what it is now!

It was because of Fred's foresight for this war that Li Zijun was able to make a correct prediction of the war, and it was also for this reason that a large amount of baggage and food were preserved, and the defenders of the cities in front were able to return to Wimbledon safely. This also left more room for maneuver for Li Zijun to carry out the defense of Wimbledon City.

Based on Fred's jihua, Li Zijun ordered Bob to lead an army of 20,000 out of the city and set up camp about two miles northeast of Wimbledon. This place was a high ground in Wimbleton, and with Bob stationed there, the Monlin army could not cut Wimbledon from the outside world. As long as Bob can hold the camp, Wimbledon will not become an isolated city! The most important thing is that this can also prevent the Monlin army from besieging Wimbledon, and greatly ensure the safety of Wimbledon.

Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows everything in the world! Fred This is also an aspect that makes Li Zijun feel admired. Although he had never been to Wimbleton, he could have formulated such a jihua!

By the time Yule arrived at Wimbledon, Lee and Bob had already made a rivalry, and the two echoed each other from afar. Seeing the scene in front of him, Yule couldn't help but secretly shake his head and feel bitter in his heart.

After some time ago, although the Monlin army successfully annihilated most of the main force of the Dongyu reinforcements, it also suffered huge casualties of nearly 100,000 people. Excluding the remaining troops defending the rear, there were less than 350,000 Monlin's troops who could follow Yule to Wimbledon.

And even without Bob's camp to reconcile with Wimbledon, Wimbledon is the 'strongest' city in the northern part of the Dongyu Empire (of course, this title should belong to Sarat City now!).

Wimbledon is nearly 18 meters high and nine meters wide, and multiple carriages can be used in parallel on the city, which can provide rapid support to the area in case of danger at any time.

At the same time, because Li Zijun retreated decisively some time ago, he retained an army of 85,000 for the defense of Wimbledon. Coupled with Li Zijun's successful sneak attack and annihilation of William's 5,000 cavalry when he retreated, Dongyu's army swept away the initial decadence in terms of morale and had the determination to fight to the death. In contrast, it is the Monlin army that looks more tired after these days of rushing!

Yule knows very well that as long as Edred and Bob don't make big mistakes, Wimbledon City will definitely be impregnable! If Yule chooses to fight hard, even if he fights all the 300,000 troops in his hands, it is unlikely that he will attack Wimbledon City!

At present, the only thing that can give Yule some hope is that the Monlin Empire has been preparing for today's battle for many years, and has made rehearsals and corresponding countermeasures for various possible situations, and he expects that the Jihua formulated by the Imperial Staff can help him knock on the gates of Wimbleton!

Thinking of this, Yule seemed to have some motivation again, and ordered his soldiers to camp in the northwest of Wimbledon, about ten miles away from the city. He was going to rest for the night and then work out how to break through Wimbledon the next day.

It's just that Yule himself thinks well, but Li Zijun and Bob didn't intend for them to establish themselves outside Wimbledon, and they each led a large army to press on Monlin's army.

Originally, Yule hoped to see Li Zijun go out of the city to face the battle, but the premise was to let the Menglin army rest for one night! Recently, in order to catch up with Li Zijun, Yule led the Menglin army to rush desperately, and the army almost never slept well, and at this time, the Menglin army had not eaten lunch, and the whole army was currently in a very tired and hungry state.

Yuer saw that Dongyu's army was full of energy, and he couldn't help but secretly hate Li Zijun! Dongyu's army must have had lunch in advance before going out of the city to challenge, and Li Zijun had to calculate himself for such a small detail, and Yule's anger rose suddenly.

But after all, Yule has been a famous general for many years, and he did not give orders because of the anger in his heart! After these few days of remote games, he no longer dared to treat Edlaide as an ordinary child. William's grievances were not far off, and Yule didn't want his men to follow in William's footsteps again. He knew very well that if he responded to the war at this time, the Dongyu Empire would have an advantage in terms of time, location, and people!

And if Yule chooses to avoid the battle at this time, Li Zijun and Bob will definitely lead the army to show off their might in front of the Monlin army!

At that time, the Menglin soldiers will completely lose confidence in facing the Dongyu army, and the psychological superiority of the two sides will immediately undergo a huge reversal! Even if the Menglin army is doubled, it will be impossible for them to attack Wimbledon!

At that point, no matter what arrangements and jihua the Menglin army has, it will be difficult to play a role anymore!

After much deliberation, Yul Zuihou decided to fight. Although the Monlin Empire won fewer victories and lost more in this battle, as long as it could ensure that it would not hurt its muscles and bones, it was equivalent to reserving the opportunity for the Monlin army to turn over.

In addition, Yule also secretly had a fluke in his heart! He hoped that the person who advocated the battle was Bob, and Edlaide was still just a child after all, and he was always a little nervous and afraid when he first entered the battlefield. Edlaide must have heard Bob's agitation, so he led his troops out of the city to challenge, as long as he saw blood for a while, maybe he would withdraw his troops.

Yule will only have to deal with Bob alone, and the pressure on him will not be so great. Thinking of this, Yule ordered an army of 50,000 to meet him.

It's just that Yule is still worried about any accidents in this battle, and he mobilized another 100,000 troops to suppress the formation, so he can fight with confidence.

As soon as Yule walked out of the camp, he found that most of Li Zijun's side were cavalry, which also made him more firm in his initial guess, and immediately mobilized pikemen to face Li Zijun to form a formation to protect his flank, and he personally led his troops to meet Bob, completely adjusting the focus of the battle to Bob's direction.

Seeing the Meng Lin army that quickly changed formation, Li Zijun had to secretly praise in his heart! They could actually make troop adjustments so quickly while on the march. It seems that this Yule really led the troops well and lived up to his reputation!

It's just that when Li Zijun found that all the people transferred in front of him were pikemen, he couldn't help but start snickering.

Yule's guess was completely reversed! This time, it was not Bob who was the main fighter, but Li Zijun!

In addition to wanting to use this battle to further demoralize Monlin's army, Li Zijun also set a trap for Yule!

The 'monkey' hurried to Wimbledon this time, not just to report to Li Zijun about the situation of the Tiger Bandits. Another important task was to send 3,000 coalition troops from the Seine Peninsula and thirty bed crossbows into Wimbledon.

This is because Li Zijun didn't want to show all the hole cards behind him, and deliberately hid the catapult, otherwise Li Zijun would really have to teach Yule a new weapon lesson today.

In order to dispel Yule's vigilance, Li Zijun only led 4,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, which was less than half of Bob's troops. And the thousand infantry from the Seine Peninsula were all proficient in using bed crossbows.

Li Zijun's Jihua used the bed crossbow to open the gap in Monlin's army, and then the cavalry cut through the gap, and then Bob's side pressed on, trying to hit Yule hard in this way!

Li Zijun didn't expect Yule to cooperate with him so much, only let the pikemen form a formation to face him, and transferred the other troops to Bob.

The pikemen formation is indeed the nemesis of the cavalry! But there is a prerequisite, that is, the pikemen can always maintain the formation! Once the pikemen's formation is torn open, the spears in their hands will become a burden to them, and when they face the cavalry, they are not even as good as other troops, and they will directly become a group of lambs to the slaughter! And the bed crossbow in Li Zijun's hand is the best weapon to open the pikemen's formation!

Yule had already revealed his flaws, and Li Zijun immediately led the soldiers behind him to meet Meng Lin's army.

Seeing that Li Zijun actually took the initiative to greet him, Yuer couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart. At first, Yule saw that most of Li Zijun was surrounded by cavalry, and thought that this was Li Zijun's fear of war, and once there was a change, he could use the speed of the cavalry to quickly return to the city at any time. As for the infantry behind Li Zijun, he thought it was just cannon fodder arranged to drag him down.

But Li Zijun actually leaned over now, which obviously didn't match his assumption, and Yule really couldn't understand what Li Zijun wanted to do, so he had to wait and see what happened. It's just that Yule never believes that Li Zijun will rely on cavalry to attack his pikemen, and he has some suspicions that Li Zijun is doing this to give Bob a chance. With this in mind, Yule paid more attention to Bob's direction.

Li Zijun kept bringing the cavalry to a position conducive to the charge, and then waved his hand to let the infantry push the bed crossbow over. During his time away from the Seine, more of Bingham's ideas were realized thanks to the help of the dwarven tribes.

Bingham modified both the Bed Crossbow and the Catapult, greatly increasing the range and power of both weapons, and installing rollers under them to greatly increase the speed of movement of both weapons.

Hearing Li Zijun's order, the Seine Peninsula infantry quickly pushed the bed crossbow to the firing position, removed the camouflage on it, and prepared for the attack.

Yule saw more than a dozen strange wooden frames behind Li Zijun from a distance, and he was still guessing the purpose of these things, and the bed crossbow had already begun to wield!

The spear-like arrows were like huge scissors, opening the spearmen of the Monlin army into a gap. After the second volley, the pikemen of Monlin's army had been torn to pieces, and they no longer had the courage to stand in place in the face of such a terrible weapon as the bed crossbow, and Monlin's pikemen began to rout.

Li Zijun was waiting for this opportunity, and immediately ordered the cavalry behind him to attack at full speed. These cavalry became a straw that overwhelmed the psychological defense line of the Monlin pikemen, and they fled backwards without caring about forming a formation.

Li Zijun commanded the cavalry to drive the pikemen to charge Yule's position, and at the same time signaled to Bob that the whole army was pressing.

If the defeated army rushed into the Chinese army, Monlin's army would most likely be wiped out, and Yul had to order the soldiers who charged to be cut down, in a vain attempt to hold on to his position.

But how could Li Zijun give him this opportunity, he quickly threw lightning bolts into the ranks of Meng Lin's army. Although the power of lightning was not enough to tear open the cracks for the cavalry, the psychological deterrence was huge! The army of Meng Lin never thought that there were still noble and terrifying magicians in the army of Dongyu. The routed pikemen ignored the immediate obstruction and finally rushed into Yule's brigade.

The cavalry of the Dongyu Empire flew through the Monlin army like a scimitar. Bob saw the opportunity and led the army to charge directly towards Yule.

Looking at Li Zijun, who was still slashing his own soldiers with a weapon just now, he was still able to release magic, Yule couldn't believe his eyes. But seeing the Monlin soldiers who were chopped into charcoal, Yule had to believe that it was true!

"Marshal, let's withdraw, or it will be too late!" Yule's adjutant couldn't help but remind him when he saw that he was a little dazed.

Yule looked at the already chaotic army, sighed helplessly, and finally gave the order to retreat. It's just that the current Monlin army has completely collapsed, and few people really hear his orders.

Faced with such a situation, Yule had no choice but to withdraw to the camp under the protection of the guards.

This must be because Yule left a large army behind him to suppress the formation, otherwise Li Zijun might really kill his camp.

After chasing to the Monlin camp and seeing that there was no more chance, Li Zijun and Bob withdrew to their respective stations with the army.

Yule, who fled back to the camp in embarrassment, immediately ordered the adjutant general to count the battle report.

After more than three hours, Yule's lieutenant entered his tent with a difficult face.

"Say it!" Yule said with a sigh as he closed his eyes.

"Marshal, there are 50,000 men in the battle, and less than 20,000 have fled back to the camp. But there should be some people who have run away, and I believe that some people will come back after a while. ”

Hearing the adjutant's reassurance, Yule didn't say anything anymore and waved his hand to let the adjutant leave. The lieutenant wanted to say something, but seeing Yule's appearance, he hesitated and walked out of Yule's tent. But as soon as he walked out of the tent, he heard Yul suddenly let out a "poof", and before he could turn his head, he heard another grunt. The adjutant hurried back to Yule's room, only to see that Yule had fallen to the ground, his chest was covered with blood, and his face was like gold paper, without the slightest trace of blood.

Knowing that Yuer vomited blood and fell to the ground, Li Zijun had a trace of suspicion! Although this Yule has rarely suffered such a painful defeat since he became famous. But Li Zijun felt that his performance was still a little too much, and he suspected that Yule was probably trying to paralyze himself and let his guard down on the city.

Originally, after today's battle, Monlin's army had basically lost the possibility of relying on its existing forces to break through Wimbledon. It's not that the Monlin army doesn't have such strength, but they no longer have the confidence to attack!

If Li Zijun was Yule, he must be thinking about how to retreat at this time! It would never be Yule who was like now, neither attacking the city nor retreating, just staying outside the city to recuperate!

Even if Yule was really angry with himself and vomited blood, it was impossible for him to lose his correct judgment. Li Zijun concluded that Yule's performance must have some ulterior motive behind it, but he didn't think about what Yule wanted to do. After thinking about it, Li Zijun turned his gaze from outside the city to inside the city.

There is a huge difference between Wimbledon City and the border cities that Li Zijun has passed through before. Wimbledon is not only a military town, but also a very important city in the northern part of the Eastern Empire. Not only are there a large number of troops stationed here, but also a large number of ordinary people live.

Before the rise of Salat City, Wimbledon was the largest trading market in the northern part of the Dongyu Empire. Even now, there are large numbers of merchants frequenting Wimbledon. And among these people, many of them carry other purposes, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that many of them are spies of various countries.

Li Zijun suspected that among these people, there was likely to be an internal response of the Monlin Empire, and he even suspected that among the defenders of Wimbledon, it was possible that the Monlin Empire had infiltrated them! Otherwise, Yule would definitely not stay here, but how could he find out these spies?

"As long as you promise me not to charge like I did last time, I may be able to help you find the reason why Yule is not leaving!" Catherine said suddenly behind Li Zijun.

After Anna returned to Sarat City, Catherine rarely appeared in front of Li Zijun unless she had something to do, and even less took the initiative to talk to him. Sometimes, Li Zijun has even forgotten that Catherine is still with him.

At this time, hearing Catherine's words, Li Zijun couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"How do you know?" asked Li Zijun curiously.

"You promise me first!" said Catherine coldly.

"I just found out today that you care about me so much!" Although Catherine's tone was cold, Li Zijun still heard her friendship for herself.

"You're the hope of the Night Elves, I can't let anything happen to you!" there was no emotion in Catherine's tone.

Li Zijun smiled, stood up and walked over to Catherine.

Catherine didn't know what Li Zijun wanted to do, and was so frightened by him that she kept retreating, until she hit the wall behind her before stopping.

"Your martial arts skills are far above me, Weishenme won't push me away?" Li Zijun leaned on the wall with one hand to prevent Catherine from escaping, and then lowered his body and stared at Catherine up close.

"I, I" Catherine was looked at by Li Zijun's hot eyes, and she didn't know what to say.

"Are you trying your best to keep me from being hurt even the slightest, just for the Night Elves?" asked Li Zijun with a hand that gently lifted Catherine's chin.

In the battle a few days ago, Catherine had been by Li Zijun's side, and in order to ensure Li Zijun's safety, she was in danger several times, all of which were looked at by Li Zijun, and he felt that it was time to give Catherine an explanation.

"I'm just" Before Catherine could finish speaking, Li Zijun had already used his lips to stop her from continuing.

At first, Catherine struggled constantly, and Li Zijun grabbed one of her arms and raised her high above her head, pressing her firmly against the wall with his body, and kissing greedily.

Li Zijun suddenly felt a salty corner of his mouth, and a tear flowed into his mouth, and he hurriedly let go of Catherine.

Catherine was already in tears at this time,

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I just want to give you an explanation, I don't really want to offend you!" Li Zijun felt that he was a little ignorant now, and his preface did not match the afterword.

Catherine was still standing there crying, and Li Zijun tried his best to apologize, but he couldn't figure out what he had said.

"You really don't dislike me as a Night Elf?" Catherine asked, looking at Li Zijun with a pair of watery eyes full of waterdrops.

"Why don't I go out and find a Night Elf and kiss it again for you to see?" Li Zijun said confusedly.

"What do you say?" said Catherine, with a rare look of coquettishness.

"Then I'll kiss you!" Li Zijun poured Catherine into his arms again and kissed him deeply, this time Catherine did not resist or dodge, she wrapped her arms around Li Zijun's neck.

Everyone outside the room was breathless from the tense atmosphere formed by the pressure of the Monlin soldiers, but this room was already full of charm!

"When I reach the age of eighteen, I will marry you all together!" Li Zijun said as he let go of Catherine.

"Weishenme is eighteen years old?" Catherine asked puzzled, this age had no meaning in the Youlan Continent.

"I once saw in a book that eighteen-year-old men are truly mature, so I made this decision!" Li Zijun didn't know how to explain, so he said casually.

"By the way, you haven't told me that Yul Weishenme is out and not leaving?" Li Zijun diverted the topic.

"It occurred to me that one of our Night Elves had stumbled upon someone smuggling dirt from inside the city, and he suspected that someone was digging a tunnel!"

"Tunnel?" Li Zijun immediately broke out in a cold sweat, if the Meng Lin army crawled in along the tunnel, under the combination of inside and outside, Wimbledon City might be really difficult to protect!

"Since there is an authenticity, they haven't moved for so long?" asked Li Zijun puzzled.

"We have already sealed off the whole city, and maybe the intelligence officers of the Menglin Empire in the city have not had time to send the information. If Yurlai doesn't leave here, it's likely that he is just waiting for news!"

"It must be so! It seems that Yule is still not giving up! But he must not have imagined that my wife is so powerful, and she can see through his plot at a glance!" Li Zijun pulled Catherine and smiled, and Catherine's pretty face rose a crimson again.
