Chapter 684: : Gong Beiwang

In a forest twenty miles away from Raofeng City, 60,000 soldiers led by Gong Beiwang were besieged.
Under a tree, Gong Beiwang with white hair and haggard face was sitting on a stone, looking at the misty woods in front of him in a daze. A guard walked beside him with a wooden bowl in his hand, which contained white. Mushy food.
"My lord, you haven't eaten for two days. How many to eat? The soldiers are still waiting for you to break through."
Gong Beiwang shook his head, "There is not much food, let's feed the wounded, I have no appetite now."
The guard hesitated, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally stopped, holding the bowl and preparing to leave. He knew that his marshal was stubborn and couldn't change his mind no matter what he said.
Before the guards left, Gong Beiwang said, "Wait."
The guard was overjoyed, thinking that the marshal had changed his mind and wanted to eat, so he planned to pass the food to Gong Beiwang.
Why don't you think Gong Beiwang stopped him and just asked something, "Is there any news about the second prince?"
The guard was a little disappointed, but began to speak: "Thanks to the marshal, since the war started, the second prince can't be contacted, I'm afraid..."
I didn't say anything, but the meaning was clear.
When the war began, the eldest prince and the second prince were responsible for the left and right flanks of the army, assisting the team in attacking the totem freak orcs. How could they think that the totem freaks were ferocious, and the courage of the soldiers was dissipated as soon as the two sides contacted, they rushed into the army to kill, and the soldiers fled in panic , Rushed to the rear, causing the entire army to collapse, and was chased by the totem madman into this forest.
In the process of escaping, many soldiers died and were captured. The remaining soldiers finally met in the forest. After counting the number, it was found that only more than 60,000 people were left, including two thousand troops led by the prince. Except that the second prince and his troops were not found, the losses were not uncommon.
And there are only two possibilities for the troops that can't see the second prince, one is to escape, and the other is to be killed or captured by the totem madman.
Judging from the situation on the previous battlefield, it is unlikely that the second prince will lead his troops to evacuate safely from the battlefield.
Either they have been killed by the totem beasts, or they have been captured, and there is only one captive who will end up eating the totem beasts.
So the high probability should be hung up.
The guards didn't dare to say clearly, but Gong Beiwang also understood.
"How is the prince's mood now?" Gong Beiwang then asked.
The guard hesitated whether to answer.
Gong Beiwang gestured, "Say it."
The guard gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness is making fun with his guards."
"Yep?"
Gong Beiwang looked at the guard in surprise, "For fun, what fun?"
The guard was a little hard to speak, and made an interspersed movement with his hands.
"Damn it, when is it now, why is he still in the mood to do this..."
Gong Beiwang's beard was stretched, and he stood up angrily, trying to find Gong Tian, ​​but just took a step and sat down again.
"Forget it, let him go." Gong Beiwang sighed.
The accusations in the past did not help him. Instead, he might be scolded by the opponent. After all, the current situation was largely due to his own overestimation of his own army and underestimation of the strength of the Totem Frenzy Orc army.
"Have you received the news from the imperial court?" Gong Beiwang asked again.
Besieged in the forest by the totem freaks, Gong Beiwang didn’t want to break out, but she organized several breakouts and failed. In this forest, no matter which direction the army breaks through, those totem freaks will never know the prophet. The same blocked in that direction, but after several battles, more than a thousand soldiers were killed in vain.
In desperation, Gong Beiwang could only report the situation and ask the imperial court for help.
"I received it, but..." The guard's face was unsightly.
"Just give me a bit more, what are the mother-in-law's doing."
Miyahoku felt very upset when seeing the guard look like this.
"The imperial court dismissed your marshal position and handed over the army to the command of the grand prince, and at the same time let you unconditionally cooperate with the grand prince and make meritorious deeds." The guard whispered.
"I lost this battle. It doesn't matter whether it's the imperial court depriving me of my position as marshal, or cooperating with the majesty to commit crimes.
"What I am most concerned about now is whether the imperial court has sent reinforcements and when they will arrive." Gong Beiwang said impatiently.
The guard quickly replied: "Marshal..."
"Don't call me the marshal, I am not the marshal from the moment the imperial court orders it." Gong Beiwang said solemnly.
"My lord, the reply from the imperial court is that reinforcements have been sent," the guard said.
"That's good."
Gong Beiwang heaved a sigh of relief. It would be good if there were reinforcements. At that time, he should work together inside and outside. Even if he can't defeat the totem frenzy, he can take the opportunity to get out of trouble and not consume it in the forest. After all, there is not much food.
"The reinforcements coming here are the troops staying in the southern border, right? How many people came?" Gong Beiwang asked.
The guard lowered his head and whispered, "My lord, it's not the army of the southern border."
Gong Beiwang frowned and was puzzled: "It's not the army from the southern border. Is there any other army that can be mobilized?"
"Yes... It's the troops of Indomitable City, the number is about two thousand." The guard glanced carefully at Gong Beiwang and said.
"what!"
Gong Beiwang stood up all of a sudden, with an angry expression on his face: "The imperial court asked two thousand troops from the unyielding urban area to come to rescue. That is not to fill in the lives here. One hundred thousand will not be able to defeat the totem beastly. Two thousand people come to rescue. What a joke, how could the emperor give such an order?"
What's a joke, what can two thousand people come over? As long as they encounter totem frenziers, the whole army will be wiped out and killed in minutes. This is to rescue or to die.
"It is not an order issued by the emperor. This order is a decision made by the imperial court after consultation by various ministers." The soldier explained.
Gong Beiwang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
By the way, when I left the southern border, the emperor seemed to be going to participate in the Five Emperors Meeting in a few days. According to the usual practice, he would stay for ten and a half days. In this short time, many matters of the imperial court will be referred to the minister We negotiated and decided that only things that couldn't be solved would be shelved and wait for the emperor to go back to deal with them.
But it’s very strange that even if it wasn’t the decision made by the Emperor, the ministers who weren’t so confused and delirious, shouldn’t let the unyielding city faction’s only two thousand troops come to the rescue like a child’s play. The operation is almost like sending cheese into the mouse hole, there is no return.
Was it because it took a long time to send troops from the southern border to here~EbookFREE.me~ for fear of not having time to rescue, so I asked Unyielding City to send troops to delay some time?
Gong Beiwang thought it was possible.
"Did the imperial court's reply say that the southern border will send troops to rescue?"
The guard shook his head, "No, only let the adults assist the prince to lead the army out with the support of the indomitable city. They believe that the prince and the adults will be able to bring the army back to the south if you do your best."
"Damn, a bunch of idiots, what are they thinking."
Gong Beiwang roared in anger, and the surrounding soldiers looked over, with doubts on their tired faces.
"This group of guys, don't you know if the army here cannot return to the southern border, what kind of situation will the southern human race fall into? I really want to kill them."
Gong Beiwang was extremely angry at the ministers who were far away in the imperial court, but in a difficult situation beyond help, he scolded and sat down again.
"Could it be that the only hope now lies in those two thousand people?"
Gong Beiwang smiled bitterly, his eyes gradually desperate.
