Chapter 444 Victory at hand
...

Ji Ling looked hesitant after hearing this. Although he knew that this possibility was relatively high, the risks involved were clear at a glance.

The war has lasted for so long, and it has never achieved the desired results, which somewhat betrayed Yuan Shu's trust.

Now that he had the opportunity to defeat Cao Cao, Ji Ling was hesitant. He was not opposed to using such a strategy.

However, the protracted war has left both sides with low morale. If there is a tendency to retreat, there is no guarantee that it will not become a major rout.

By then, the plan has not yet been implemented and they have already been hunted down. Even with a large number of troops, they may not be able to save the day.

But if he didn't implement such a strategy, Ji Ling couldn't find any other way to win.

He, Ji Ling, is not a fool. He has not won any achievements for such a long time, and has not even advanced the front. He has been restricting the scope and intensity of the war within this distance. Under such circumstances, how can he not understand the other party's thoughts? ?
"Gong Jin, what is the probability of success using such a strategy?" Ji Ling thought for a moment and asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's wisdom has deeply impressed Ji Ling after several months of getting along with him.

But after all, this matter concerns the entire army, so you should be cautious.

Yuan Shu handed over such an army to Ji Ling. How could Ji Ling betray Yuan Shu's trust and bury the entire army?

As for Sun Ce standing next to Zhou Yu, Ji Ling was out of consideration. Ji Ling couldn't understand Sun Ce's behavior anyway.

He has courage, courage, dares to fight, and is young enough to be called a hero, although his strength is indeed a bit lower than that of Ji Ling.

But at this age, how many people in the world can achieve this kind of strength? Their future prospects are limitless, how can they stop here?
But sometimes my behavior feels very strange, as if I do things without thinking carefully, and it is too reckless.

Zhou Yu looked at Ji Ling. Although he wanted to confidently tell Ji Ling that the success rate this time was [-]%, once he said this, he would inevitably arouse Ji Ling's suspicion and make Ji Ling dare not implement it.

The importance of this army to Yuan Shu made Ji Ling extremely cautious.

"The success rate of this matter is [-]%. If the strategy fails, we can retreat to Nanyang, recuperate, restore the morale and physical strength of the soldiers, and wait until next year to fight again." Zhou Yu thought for a moment and then said perfunctorily to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling nodded after hearing this, and then made up his mind to implement such a strategy.

A [-]% success rate is pretty good, and there is a way out if the strategy fails.

In Ji Ling's view, this was already quite perfect. As for the remaining actions, it all depended on how the army he controlled could perfectly perform this war.

Instead of protracted fighting, it would be better to fight once and it would be clear.

On the other side, Cao Cao also stepped up his offensive, concealing his strategic intentions on the surface, as if he wanted to advance from the front.

Completely entangle Ji Ling's army to prevent it from thinking of retreating.

As long as Ji Ling's army is held back, Xun You, who is encircling and outflanking, will have the opportunity to harm the entire Nanyang.

Ji Ling, who is dominated by Yuan Shu, will inevitably withdraw his troops when facing this situation and go to protect Yuan Shu.

And when the two sides are fighting anxiously, such behavior is nothing more than burying oneself.

Xun You's spiritual talent can easily cover up an army, making it more difficult for others to discover this army, or even ignore it if they find it.

Carrying enough food and grass, they bypassed Wancheng and headed towards Nanyang.

Xun You had no idea about Wancheng. The city was strong and there were many defenders. It was not a city that his people could capture.But it is the harvest season after all, and Nanyang County is already very wealthy, so it is easy to feed the enemy. You only need to carry three days of food, and you can travel across the entire Nanyang, as if there is no one in the land.

However, Xun You didn't think much about these grains. Instead, he urged the army to move towards the city where Yuan Shu was located. On the one hand, it oppressed Yuan Shu and diverted his attention. On the other hand, it also posed a threat to Nanyang and attracted all the cities in Nanyang. attention.

After that, they moved to Yingchuan and completely blocked the food route of Ji Ling's army.

Directly destroying the food supply in the entire northern part of Nanyang, forcibly creating a strong wall to clear the country, completely cutting off the retreat of Ji Ling's army.

How many days can Ji Ling's army last without food supplies?

Xun You's journey was very smooth and he reached Nanyang County easily.

He directly relaxed the constraints on the army, forcibly destroyed the food that was about to be harvested, and artificially created the effect of solidifying the wall and clearing the field.

In the surrounding cities, there was no one who could defeat Xun You's army. They could only discover this kind of thing and report it layer by layer.

In this case, the destructive effect Xun You can cause is almost terrifying, and the marching speed is equivalent to the scope of the damage.

The food that was about to be harvested was easier to burn than imagined, and fire after fire ravaged the entire northern Nanyang.

Ji Ling, who received the news four or five days later, was completely confused.

The cutoff of the food road means that no more food will be delivered to the army camp later.

The consumption of 10 people is a terrifying amount every day. Even if Nanyang is very wealthy, it only provides the army with less than a month's reserve food.

The time for transporting food cannot be every day, but once every ten days. The food transported each time is enough to feed the army for more than ten days.

This is already a very cautious behavior, but now the food route is cut off.

This meant that Ji Ling had to make a choice, either to withdraw his troops or to make a desperate move and forcibly demolish the opponent.

However, after several months of fighting, Ji Ling deeply understood that the success rate of a forced attack was not high, so he could only retreat.

Thinking of Zhou Yu's strategy, it seems to be very suitable for the current situation. If it can succeed, it may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory.

Ji Ling decided on the time to retreat after discussing with Zhou Yu in advance.

With the end of the normal battle during the day, Ji Ling's army, which had already been sorted out, took advantage of the bright moonlight at night to gradually withdraw southward under the leadership of soldiers without night blindness.

Cao Cao, who had been prepared for this for a long time, chose to pursue it without even thinking about it.

As for not being able to see it at night, it doesn't matter.

The armies of both sides cannot be seen. One side is taking advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, while the other side is defeated and flees. Isn't it clear at a glance who wins and who loses?
The morale of the soldiers on both sides is different in this case.

Cao Cao, who was confident of victory, was riding on a war horse. He was full of heroic spirit. If he completely defeated Ji Ling in one battle and chased him with his tail, he would be able to hold the entire Nanyang in his hands.

At that time, the number one prince in the world will have to jump from Yuan Shu's head to Cao Cao.
