Chapter 871: Birds Peck when They Are Poor, and Beasts Eat when They Are Poor

As the sun set, dense cavalry galloped towards the Fire Elephant City. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the Fire Elephant City seemed to be stained with blood. In fact, this city was indeed surrounded by blood. In order to capture this city, Players in the two major servers in China and India have damaged many players, and the total number of damages has been at least tens of millions.

Looking at it from a distance, there are thick smoke bursts in the Fire Elephant City. It should not be the fiery red smoke cloud blasted by the Fire Rock Cannon and Dragon Crystal Cannon. Seeing my confused look, Lin Wan'er laughed while riding the horse in my arms: "Ask the sword!" The raid was successful. Last night, we mobilized over a million players to take the initiative to attack, attracting the attention of the players in Fire Elephant City and the np army. The seven granaries in the city were all burned down, and the smoke has not dissipated until now."

I was overjoyed in my heart, and said: "Question Sword really did not disappoint the Chinese players. As long as the granary of Fire Elephant City is burned down, basically this city belongs to us. Calculated according to our rest time, the game time has already passed two weeks." Oh my god, there are so many NPC troops in Huoxiang City, they must have run out of food, maybe they are already killing war horses for food."

Wang Jian on the side rode his horse with his sword in hand, nodded and smiled: "Yes, we have received news that the Qingliu Legion, Xunfeng Legion, and Autumn Leaf Legion of the Huoyun Empire have all begun to kill horses for military rations, but the city The number of people stationed is really too much, the np army alone exceeds at least 400,000, and the horses alone cannot meet the food needs of a 400,000 army, and in this way, the np cavalry in Huoxiang City will be greatly reduced. It is no longer comparable to Tianling City."

The Fire Dragon Cavalry, Iron Blade Cavalry, and Royal Forest Army Cavalry swept across the city wall. When we passed through the city wall, we were already surrounded by densely packed Tianling City players and army defense lines. They had already surrounded the Fire Elephant City for three layers The third floor, and the catapults of long-range equipment are also constantly bombarding the city wall, waiting for the players and NPCs in the Fire Elephant City to counterattack.

Arriving in front of Zhanlong's position, the fox leader was stationed here, nodded and smiled: "Boy Li, you are finally back, heh heh, you have already killed Qingmu Tuomo, haven't you?"

I smiled: "The news is quite well-informed, isn't it?"

"Nonsense, talk in the guild, I am not blind or deaf."

"Ha ha."[

"Don't laugh, you guys killed Qingmu Tuomo directly with the dragon crystal cannon. Although it was a great achievement, it really pissed off this woman. Qingmu Tuomo posted on the forum in the Indian theater I posted a post, declaring war on us Zhanlong, claiming that even if we lose Huoxiang City, we will definitely kill our Zhanlong and wipe out our entire army!"

Song Han raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Come if you want, what kind of post do you want to post? We Zhanlong are waiting for her clear eyes and ink to wipe them all out!"

I smiled slightly and did not speak, but Qingmo Tuomo blamed Zhanlong for his death in Baimulin this time. This is really not a good thing. The national war is in progress. Gaining more national war points in exchange for high rewards, but now being targeted by Qingmu Tuomo, a powerful little woman, is not destined to be a good thing.

Turn around and ride your horse towards the south gate of Fire Elephant City. This is their passage to Fire Cloud City. After going out of the other gates, you have to fight through the thicker encirclement to break through. If I were them, I would definitely They will break out from the south gate, and the south gate will be defended by the Yanlong Army and the Yulin Army, which are also the two strongest armies in this expedition.

...

On the city wall, the army of the Fire Cloud Empire seems to be exhausted. Many people are setting up iron pots on the city wall and boiling cowhide boots to satisfy their hunger. They are really hungry and crazy. I can even hear a "Dang Dang Dang With the sound of scraping bones, some soldiers were scraping the shredded meat from the bones of war horses to satisfy their hunger, and some even crushed the bones to swallow, but the taste must not be very good. Almost all the archers in charge of defense on the city Squatting on the ground, no one raised his head, only the player was still standing there with vigor.

Shenlie Longma slowly came to the tent of the Chinese army. The tent of the Chinese army is facing the south gate, which also means that the other side must kill our tent if they want to break through. Princess Pei Er sat firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, Seeing me coming, a smile flew across his face: "Commander Li Xiaoyao is finally here!"

I nodded: "Your Highness, how is the situation?"

Pei Er said: "This is the third day that they have run out of food, and they probably can't bear it anymore. It is impossible for an army of more than 500,000 people to last longer without supplies."

Luo Si sneered and said, "If the guess is correct, maybe they will kill the artisans and servants in the city after eating the horses to cut the meat for food."

I couldn't help shivering: "No way?"

Luo Sidao: "It's not like there are such precedents. There have been more than one expeditions in the history of the empire. Just like Emperor Locke's expedition to Lingyue City of the Moon Empire 17 years ago, Lingyue City was besieged for 11 days. Started to kill people for food, first the peasants and artisans, then the climate grooms, and finally the women, until after the city was broken, Lingyue City with a population of 300,000 was eaten by myself and only 70,000 people were left, and then all of them were slaughtered by the order of Emperor Locke!"

I frowned and didn't speak.

Xu Yi looked at me: "General Li thinks it is too cruel, right? War is like this, either you die or I live. In order to win, any means can be used, and they are all reasonable."

I didn't want to get entangled with these two people, so I said to Pei'er: "Your Highness, the Fire Elephant City won't last much longer, even if the Fire Cloud Empire's army doesn't come out, their tens of millions of adventurers won't be able to survive." I will continue to wait, and give the order immediately, the Chinese military account is in danger of being breached at any time.”[

Pei'er raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that you have an idea?"

I nodded: "Well, our former army and the central army resisted their breakout attack, but don't resist for too long, and the losses will increase. Let's deliberately open a way to let the army of the Fire Cloud Empire rush south. I have seen After reading the map, there is a valley to the south called Fire Elephant Valley. The entire valley looks like a giant elephant. We set up artillery and dragon crystal cannons on the two-winged mountains of Fire Elephant Valley, and then ambushed archers and sword and shield soldiers on both sides of the valley. Stretching for ten miles is our battlefield. Shoot and kill this group of defeated troops based on the height advantage. Autumn Leaf Legion, kill all the main armies, and see what Huoyun City can rely on to resist our follow-up attack!"

Pei'er smiled happily: "Okay, it's exactly what I want!"

Luo Si frowned and said, "Since we can trap them in the Fire Elephant City and kill them all, why should we let them out? Li Xiaoyao, this Marquis thinks that your strategy is not right. You can block them, but you deliberately kill them." Indulgence is simply stupid!"

I suddenly felt a little irritable in my heart, looked at Luo Si, and said word by word: "Although I don't know much about the art of war, I also know the truth that 'birds peck when they are poor, and beasts bite when they are poor'. Fire Elephant City still has An army of at least 400,000 people, the whole army assaults, even if we can kill them all, we will lose at least half of them. It is better to give them a hopeful way of life, and set up ambushes along the way to slowly consume them, so as to minimize our own losses .”

Luo Si gritted his teeth and said, "You're just talking tricks..."

Pei'er seemed a little displeased, and said: "Marquis Jin, you are just a vanguard general, and it seems that it is not your turn to criticize the military strategy? Even if you are to blame, it is Marshal Xu Yi, General Xu Yi, do you think Commander Li's strategy is worthwhile? Question?"

Xu Yi clasped his fists and said, "It's reasonable, but the general will think it's inappropriate."

"Okay, follow the plan, send troops to ambush on both sides of the Fire Elephant Valley, and concentrate the rest of the troops at the south gate, ready to meet the trapped beasts in the Fire Elephant City!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

...

As a result, the timing of the opponent's attack was earlier than ours. When the Royal Forest Army sent 20,000 troops to the Fire Elephant Valley to ambush, there were already players in the Fire Elephant City jumping directly from the city, which could increase their speed of dispatching troops. The gates of the city were also opened wide, and several people and horses came out of the huge gates. First, there were about 20,000 cavalry from the Qingliu Legion, and then there were all infantry and supply battalions. It was difficult for them. Originally, there were at least 100,000 The cavalry was eaten down to only 20,000 people, at least in terms of the cavalry's impact, they were no longer the opponents of Tianling City.

Not long after, a large number of people and horses had gathered under Huoxiang City, about 200 meters away from our position. I took out my sword and walked out of the tent of the Chinese army. I came to Zhanlong's position, pulled out my Longchi sword, and said in a low voice: "Basic strategy! Just resist here for a while, and when their morale is the strongest, we will retreat to Fire Elephant Valley, give them a way, and then take advantage of the situation to chase after them!"

Everyone pulled out their weapons one after another, a large group of fire dragon cavalry and iron blade cavalry had distinctive swords and armor, and their morale was high.

The next moment, two cannons rang out, and the light of the Dragon Crystal Cannon exploded in the crowd of the Yanlong Army, tearing a group of soldiers of the Yanlong Army into pieces. Raised their weapons together, and shouted at the Chinese players in Tianling City: "Kill!"

The battle of the trapped beast is finally here!

With a swing of my sword, I immediately rushed out with the Fire Dragon Rider. This is a great opportunity to gain points in the national war. The Dragon Slaying Rider is moving faster and faster, colliding with the opponent's players. Sweeping and cutting in, and the front line more than 10 miles below the city became even more chaotic, dust and smoke covered the sky, the war is indeed like a steel wheel, crushing it regardless of anyone's will, the number of dead is not one Humans have the power to turn the world around.

Zhanlong's front line maintains a complete formation. Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Matcha and I command together. We retreat every time we advance 100 meters, and then continue to advance after replenishing supplies. We always maintain a very small loss to attack and kill the opponent. In our almost Under Yu Lai's tactics, the Indians had no choice. Several main guilds reluctantly bypassed us and went straight to the position of the Thousand Man Tomb. However, the Thousand Man Tomb still has at least 2w Greedy Wolf riding in the Fire Elephant City. People can't make much money in their hands.
