Eight hundred and seventy-first chapters: Birds peck if they are poor, and beasts bite if they are p
As the sun set, dense cavalry galloped towards Fire Elephant City. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Fire Elephant City seemed to be stained with a layer of blood. In fact, this city was indeed surrounded by blood. In order to capture this city,
Players on the two major servers in China and India have done a lot of damage to players, and the total losses have been at least tens of millions.
Looking from a distance, there were thick smoke billows in the Fire Elephant City. That should not be the fire rock cannon. The fiery red smoke blasted out by the dragon crystal cannon. Looking at my confused look, Lin Wan'er stood on the horse in my arms and smiled and said: "Wenjian
The raid was successful. Last night, we mobilized over a million players to actively attack, attracting the attention of players and NPC troops in Fire Elephant City. Some of the assassins sent by Wenjian successfully slipped into the city, and then killed Huo Xiang.
The seven major granaries in the city were burned down, and the smoke has not cleared up yet."
I felt happy in my heart and said: "Wenjian really did not disappoint the Chinese players. As long as we burn down the granary of Fire Elephant City, this city basically belongs to us. Calculated based on our rest time, two days of game time have passed."
Damn it, there are so many NPC troops in Fire Elephant City, they must have run out of food, and maybe they are killing war horses for food."
Wang Jian on the side raised his sword and rode on his horse, nodded and smiled: "Yes, we have received the news that the Fire Cloud Empire's Qingliu Army, Xunfeng Army, Qiuye Army, etc. have begun to kill horses for military rations, but within the city
There are too many people stationed there. The NPC army alone exceeds at least 40,000. War horses alone cannot meet the food needs of the 40,000 army. Moreover, as a result, the NPC cavalry in Fire Elephant City will be greatly reduced.
It cannot be compared with Tianling City."
Fire Dragon Cavalry, Iron Blade Cavalry, and Royal Forest Army Iron Cavalry passed through the city wall area. When we passed through the city wall, there was already a dense defense line of Tianling City players and troops in front of us. They had surrounded Fire Elephant City to the inside and outside.
On the third floor, catapults and other remote equipment are also constantly bombarding the city wall, waiting for the players and NPCs in Fire Elephant City to counterattack.
Arriving in front of Zhanlong's position, the fox leader was stationed here. He nodded and said with a smile: "Boy Li, you are finally back. Hum, you have already killed Qingmu Tuomo, haven't you?"
I smiled and said, "You are quite well informed, aren't you?"
"Nonsense, just say it in the guild. I'm not blind or deaf."
"Ha ha."
"Don't laugh yet. You used the dragon crystal cannon to directly kill Qingmu Tuomo. Although it was a great achievement, it also really pissed off this woman. Qingmu Tuomo posted on the forum of the Indian War Zone
He made a post, which is a declaration of war against us, Zhan Long, claiming that even if we lose Fire Xiang City, we will definitely kill us, Zhan Dragon, and wipe out the whole army!"
Song Han raised his sword eyebrows and said with a smile: "Come here if you want, post anything, we Zhanlong are waiting for her to come and annihilate them all!"
I smiled slightly and said nothing, but Qingmu Tuomo blamed Zhanlong for all the deaths in Baimulin. This is indeed not a good thing. The national war is ongoing, and I still hope that everyone in Zhanlong can
Earn more national war points in exchange for high rewards, but now that you are being targeted by a powerful little woman like Qingmu Tuomo, this is definitely not a good thing.
I turned around and rode my horse slowly towards the south gate of Huoxiang City. This was their passage to Huoyun City. After exiting the other gates, I had to fight through a thicker encirclement before I could break through. If I were them, I would definitely do it.
They will break out from the south gate, and the ones responsible for guarding the south gate are the Yanlong Army and the Royal Forest Army, which are also the two strongest armies in this expedition.
…
On the city wall, the troops of the Fire Cloud Empire seemed to be exhausted. Many people were setting up iron pots on the city wall and boiling cowhide boots to satisfy their hunger. They were really hungry and crazy. I could even hear the sound of "Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang."
"There was a sound of scraping bones. Some soldiers were scraping the shreds of meat from the bones of the war horses to satisfy their hunger. Some even crushed the bones and swallowed them. But the taste must not be good. Almost all the archers responsible for the defense of the city were
Squatting on the ground, no one stood up, only the player stayed there with high spirits.
The divine dragon and horse slowly arrived at the Chinese military tent. The Chinese military tent is facing the south gate, which means that the opponent must kill our Chinese military tent if they want to break through. Princess Pei'er sat firmly in the Chinese military tent,
When he saw me arriving, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Commander Li Xiaoyao is finally here!"
I nodded: "Your Highness, how is the situation?"
Pei'er said: "This is the third day they have been without food. They probably can't bear it anymore. An army of more than 500,000 people cannot last much longer without supplies."
Luo Si sneered and said: "If the guess is correct, maybe they will kill the craftsmen in the city after eating the war horses, and the slaves will come to cut the meat for food."
I couldn't help but shudder: "No way?"
Luo Si said: "It's not like there are no such precedents. There have been more than one in the history of imperial expeditions, just like the expedition of Emperor Locke to Lingyue City of the Moon Moon Empire 17 years ago. Lingyue City was surrounded for 11 days, and all the turf in the city was eaten away.
He started killing people for food, first civilians, craftsmen, horsemen due to climate, and finally women. After the city was destroyed, Lingyue City with a population of 300,000 was reduced to only 70,000 people, and then they were all slaughtered by Emperor Locke's order!"
I frowned and said nothing.
Xu Yi looked at me: "General Li, don't you think he is too cruel? 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, Fire Xiang City will not last much longer. Even if the Fire Cloud Empire’s army does not come out, their tens of millions of adventurers will not.
I will continue to wait and give the order immediately. There is a danger of the Chinese military tent being breached at any time."
Pei'er raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "It seems you have an idea?"
I nodded: "Well, our front army and the Chinese army will resist their breakout offensive, but don't resist for too long, otherwise the losses will increase. We deliberately open up a road and let the Fire Cloud Empire's army rush south. I've seen it
I got the map and found that there is a valley to the south called Fire Elephant Valley. The whole valley looks like a giant elephant. We set up all the artillery and dragon crystal cannons on the two flanking mountains of Fire Elephant Valley, and then ambush archers and sword and shield soldiers on both sides of the valley.
Our battlefield stretches for ten miles. We use the height advantage to shoot these defeated troops. All the Fire Cloud Army's Fire Army has been killed. We strive to destroy the Qingliu Army, the Heavenly Punishment Army, and the Xunfeng Army in this battle.
Qiuye Legion, kill all the main legions and see how Huoyun City can resist our subsequent attacks!"
Pei'er smiled happily: "Okay, it's just what I want!"
Luo Si frowned and said: "Since we can trap them in the Huoxiang City and kill them all, why bother to let them out? Li Xiaoyao, I feel that your plan is inappropriate. You can block them, but you deliberately
Indulgence is simply stupid!"
I suddenly felt a little irritable in my heart. I looked at Luo Si and said word by word: "Although I don't know much about the art of war, I also know the principle of 'when birds are poor, they peck, and when beasts are poor, they bite'. Fire Xiang City still has
With an army of at least 400,000 people and a full-scale assault, even if we can kill them all, we will lose at least half of them. It is better to give them a hope of survival 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 clever words..."
Pei'er seemed a little displeased and said: "Jin Hou, you are just a vanguard general. It seems that it is not your turn to criticize the military strategy, right? Even if it is to criticize, it is Marshal Xu Yi, General Xu Yi, do you think Commander Li's strategy is good?"
Problem?"
Xu Yi clasped his fists and said, "It's reasonable, and I think there's nothing wrong with it."
"Okay, follow the plan and send troops to ambush on both sides of the Fire Elephant Valley. The rest of the troops will be concentrated at the south gate and prepare to face the trapped beasts in the Fire Elephant City!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
…
As a result, the opponent's attack opportunity was earlier than ours. Just when the Royal Forest Army sent 20,000 troops to ambush the Fire Elephant Valley, players in the Fire Elephant City were already jumping directly from the city. This could increase their troop dispatch speed, and
The city gate also opened wide, and countless people and horses came out from under the huge city gate. First, there were the cavalry of the Qingliu Legion, about 20,000 people, and then they were all infantry.
However, the cavalry was reduced to only 20,000 men. At least the cavalry attack was no longer a match for Tianling City.
Soon after, a large number of people gathered under Huoxiang City, which was about 200 meters away from our position. I picked up the sword and walked out of the Chinese military tent, came to the Zhanlong position, pulled out the Longchi sword, and whispered: "Basic strategy.
Just resist here for a while, and when their morale is at its strongest, we will retreat to the Fire Elephant Valley, make way for them, and then take advantage of the situation to pursue them again!"
Everyone drew their weapons one after another, a large group of fire dragon knights and iron blade knights with bright sword armor and high morale.
The next moment, two cannons rang out, and the light of the dragon crystal cannon exploded in the crowd of Yanlong Army, tearing a group of Yanlong Army soldiers into pieces. On the side of Fire Xiang City, Feng Linzui and Baili Lun were almost
They raised their weapons together and shouted at the Chinese players in Tianling City: "Kill!"
The battle of the trapped beast is finally here!
I swung my sword and immediately rushed out with the Fire Dragon Cavalry. This was a great opportunity to gain points in the national war. The Dragon Slaying Cavalry moved faster and faster, colliding with the opponent's players. The superiority and inferiority were judged directly.
Sweep cut in, and the battle line more than 10 miles below the city became chaotic, with dust and smoke covering the sky. The war was indeed like a steel wheel, crushing it without relying on anyone's will. There were countless dead, not a single one.
Human beings have the power to turn things around.
The dragon-killing front line maintained a complete formation. Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Matcha and I commanded together. Every time we advance 100 meters, we retreat, then resupply and continue to advance, always maintaining minimal losses to attack and kill the opponent. In this close situation like ours
Due to the rogue tactics, the Indians had no choice. Several main guilds had no choice but to bypass us and went straight to the position of Thousand Tombs. However, Thousand Tombs still had at least 2W greedy wolves riding in the Fire Elephant City. Presumably India
