Chapter 607: Fighting Out of the City

"It's all burned!" The big power ship waved his hand violently, "In short, even if we have to give, we can only send Ji Lingjun a scorched earth!" ”

"By the way, what about our NPC guards?" The Great Power Ship remembered this incident and asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the two of them heard this, sweat beaded on their faces. "That, already, has been put into battle, repelled many attacks by the Ji Ling army, and held most of the positions in the entire Poyang City."

The big country clapped his hands and said, "Not bad." Sure enough, it is the elite of the elite of my alliance, and it can even compete with the high-level NPC troops under Ji Ling! Now bring them all back. ”

"This, this, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to pull them all back." The senior general surnamed Wu said nein.

"How?" The Great Power Ship asked strangely, "Why is it difficult to transfer it back?" ”

"Although the Guards have resisted many attacks by the enemy, they are almost exhausted, and now there are only more than a thousand Guards NPC troops left on the front line." The senior general surnamed Wu bowed his head and said.

"More than a thousand left?!" The body of the big country ship in a seriously injured state was almost stimulated and fell to the ground all at once, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence of scolding: "You two losers!" ”

Under the orders of the great powers, the city was quickly mobilized and gathered to the north, where the enemy's forces were relatively weak, and broke out with a large amount of goods, merchants, and craftsmen in the city! At the same time, the remaining troops who had been placed in the city began to set fire to it in an organized manner, and in a short time, a raging fire burned everywhere in the city, and countless buildings, food, and belongings that had not had time to be taken away were burned!

The fire in the city soon spread into a huge sea of fire! Ji Lingjun, who had just entered the city, wanted to rush in, but as soon as he approached, he was immediately forced back by the huge fire and heat wave, and could only stand helplessly outside the city gate and the city, waiting for the fire of this raging fire to gradually weaken and extinguish.

The fire in Poyang City burned for five or six hours before it gradually extinguished, and Ji Ling and his troops finally entered this hard-won city, but all they saw was a pitch-black scorched earth and ruins, and the huge fire even smoked the bluestones on the surrounding city walls into pitch black.

"Damn!" Ji Ling cut down a blackened doorpost with a knife, but he was even more annoyed in his heart.

The reason why he decided to surprise Poyang City was not only because Poyang City was one of the important cities in the hands of the three alliances, but more importantly, they were an isolated army, with only barely enough dry food for three days and no logistical supplies.

This means that if they don't get food right away, they will be in a very dangerous situation after three days.

Therefore, he tried his best to attack Poyang City, wanting to capture this city at the same time, by the way, get a large amount of food hoarded in the city, and persist in fighting until the follow-up troops of Yuan's army arrived.

But now, all they have under their feet is a patch of black ash! All food and supplies have been wiped out in this fire at this moment. Although they succeeded in capturing Poyang City, it did not bring any benefits to their side.

"The enemy army has burned down the city! Woe to the people! What an unforgivable sin! Wait for me to write an essay condemning the atrocities of these thugs who burned down the city! Seeing this scene, Yuan Yu said very angrily.

Seeing Yuan Xuan's somewhat bookish behavior at the moment, Ji Ling was also a little funny, condemned? What's the use of condemnation?! If you have this time to write, you might as well use your head to think about how to get food.

"Report to the general, the enemy's pursuers have reached twenty miles behind us!" A scout Pegasus came over and reported.

When Ji Ling heard this, he immediately clenched the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, and shouted violently: "Everyone, immediately go to the city wall and prepare for defense!" Protect the city of Poyang. ”

"No way!" At this time, Yuan Yu was the first to stand up and oppose Ji Ling's military order: "We must not fight the enemy army in this Poyang City!" ”

"What do you think, sir?" Ji Ling asked Yuan Hui respectfully.

Yuan Wei said: "Now this Poyang City is already an empty city, there is no value at all, and our army lacks food and grass, if we hold on to this city, I am afraid that it will be besieged by the enemy, and when the time comes, our army will run out of food, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight with the enemy again."

When I came, I saw that there were fertile fields everywhere outside the city of Poyang, and if we abandoned the city and took the initiative to attack, we could also collect grain and grass from the local villages on the spot, which would sustain us for a longer time! ”

"What the gentleman said is very true!" Ji Ling patted his head, he really didn't think of so much just now, but he simply felt that he had worked hard to win the city, and he was unwilling to give it back to the enemy. But I didn't expect that there was this layer at all.

"So, since the enemy army began to burn Poyang City, they were already prepared to use this city as bait to encircle and annihilate us?"

"It's quite possible." Yuan Wei nodded and said, "So, we can't fall for them." ”

"Well, listen to Mr., the whole army will immediately go out of the city and prepare to meet the enemy!" Ji Ling ordered.

"Strange, why did Ji Lingjun withdraw from Poyang City?!" Qing Lan and the lights galloped to the outside of Poyang City, only to find that Ji Lingjun, who had already attacked the city, had all left the city and arranged a formation in the field.

"This Ji Ling's IQ won't be so high, right? Could it be that he saw my plan to use Poyang City as bait? Lamplight Shan scratched her face strangely and asked.

Qinglan stepped forward and said, "This, it's not impossible, after all, Ji Ling is also a battle-hardened general." But it could also be the work of people around him. This time, Brother Yan Shan, you have suffered a big loss, and you paid the trap made by the entire Poyang Chen, but you still let Ji Ling escape. ”

"No loss." Lamplight Shan gritted his teeth and said: "As long as I can wipe out Ji Lingjun, even if I burn another Poyang City, I can rebuild it for him!" Command the whole army, attack! ”

Outside Poyang City, the battle lasted for several days, and the armies of the three alliances launched one attack after another against Ji Ling's army, but they were all repelled by Ji Ling's army one by one, with their current strength, even if they had millions of troops, it was basically impossible to defeat Ji Ling's troops of less than 100,000 people head-on.

What is even more annoying is that although Ji Lingjun has no logistical supplies, it can survive by forcibly requisitioning food from the villages of the Poyang Alliance near Poyang.

Although the lights have been repeated, ordering that no village force in Poyang County shall provide military rations to Ji Lingjun, but when Ji Ling's army is standing in front of these small and medium-sized villages, and the face is fierce, I am afraid that few people have the courage to disagree.
