Chapter 685

In a forest 20 miles away from Raofeng City, there are 60000 ethnic soldiers led by Gong Beiwang.

Under a tree, Gong Beiwang, with white hair and haggard face, was sitting on a stone. He was gazing at the foggy woods in front of him. Next to him came a guard with a wooden bowl filled with white pasty food.

"My Lord, you haven't eaten for two days. How much do you eat? The soldiers are waiting for you to command the breakthrough."

Gong Beiwang shook his head, "there is not much food. Give it to the wounded. I have no appetite now."

Pro Wei hesitated for a moment. Zhang KaiKou wanted to say something. Finally, he stopped and was ready to leave with a bowl. He knew that his marshal was stubborn and could not change his mind.

Before the guards left, Gong Beiwang said, "wait a minute."

Pro Wei Yixi thinks that the marshal has changed his mind and wants to eat, so he plans to pass the food to Gong Beiwang.

Which think the Palace North looks to call him to just ask a thing, "have the news of the second prince?"

The guard was disappointed, but he began to say: "marshal, since the war, the second prince can't get in touch. I'm afraid..."

The words didn't go on, but the meaning was very clear.

At the beginning of the war, the eldest prince and the second prince were responsible for the left and right flanks of the army and assisted the battle to attack the totem crazy orcs. However, the totem crazy orcs were fierce. As soon as the two sides contacted with each other, they broke the courage of the soldiers and rushed into the army to kill them. The soldiers ran for their lives and attacked the rear. As a result, the whole army was defeated and was chased and killed by the totem crazy orcs in the forest.

In the process of escape, many soldiers died and were captured. The rest of the soldiers finally joined up in the forest. After counting the number, they found that there were only more than 60000 people left, including 2000 troops led by the eldest prince. Only the second prince and his troops were not found. The loss was not heavy.

There are only two possibilities for the troops who can't see the second prince. One is to escape, and the other is to be killed or captured by totem crazy orcs.

Judging from the situation of 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 or captured by the totem crazy orcs, and only one of the captives will become the prey of the totem crazy orcs.

So the big probability is that he's dead.

Pro Wei did not dare to say, but Gong Beiwang also understood.

"How is his mood now, prince?" Gong Beiwang then asked.

Pro Wei hesitated and should answer.

Gong Beiwang motioned, "go ahead."

The bodyguard clenched his teeth and said, "Your Highness, he is having fun with his bodyguard."

"Yes?"

Gong Beiwang looked at Qin Wei in surprise, "for fun, what kind of fun?"

Some of the guards were hard to talk about, and they made an interspersed movement on their hands.

"Damn it, when is it now? Why is he still in the mood to do this..."

Gong Bei looks at his hair and gets up in a rage. He wants to find Gong Tian, but he just takes a step and sits down.

"Forget it, let him go." Gong Beiwang sighed.

It's useless for him to criticize in the past. Instead, he may be scolded by the other party. After all, the current situation is largely due to his overestimation of his own army and underestimation of the strength of the totem Orc army.

"Have you heard from the imperial court?" Gong Beiwang asked again.

Surrounded by totem crazy orcs in the forest, Gong Beiwang didn't want to break out, but he organized several times to break out, but failed. In this forest, no matter which direction the army broke out, those totem crazy orcs would block in that direction without warning. On the contrary, after several battles, they gave more than 1000 soldiers' lives in vain.

In desperation, Gong Beiwang could only report the situation and ask the imperial court for help.

"Yes, I did, but..." Pro Wei doesn't look good.

"Just give me something to talk about. What are you doing?"

Gong Bei felt very upset when he saw the appearance of Qin Wei.

"The imperial court dismissed you from the position of Marshal and handed over the army to the eldest prince. At the same time, it allowed you to cooperate unconditionally with the eldest prince and perform meritorious deeds." Pro Wei whispered.

"I've lost this battle. Whether the imperial court deprives me of the position of Marshal or cooperates with his highness to commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds, it's no problem."

"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 marshal. I won't be Marshal from the moment the imperial court orders me." Gong Beiwang said in a deep voice.

"My Lord, the reply from the imperial court is that it has sent reinforcements." Pro Wei said.

"That's good."

Gong Beiwang is relieved. It's good to have reinforcements coming. At that time, he should cooperate with the outside world. Even if he can't beat the totem orcs, he can get out of trouble. He won't be consumed in the forest. After all, there is not much food.

"Are the reinforcements left behind in the south? How many people have come?" Gong Beiwang asked.The guard lowered his head and whispered, "my Lord, it's not the army in the south."

Gong Beiwang frowned and was puzzled: "it's not the army in the south. Is there any other army that can be mobilized?"

"Yes It's the army of Buqu City, with about 2000 people. " Pro Wei took a careful look at Gong Beiwang and said.

"What

Gong Beiwang suddenly stood up with an angry face: "the imperial court asked two thousand troops from the indomitable urban area to come to the rescue. That's not to fill people's lives here. One hundred thousand people can't beat the totem crazy orcs. Isn't it a joke that these two thousand people came to the rescue? How could the emperor give such an order?"

Are you kidding me? What can 2000 people do when they come here? If they meet totem crazy orcs, they will not be killed every minute. Are they coming to rescue or to die.

"It's not an order issued by the emperor. It's a resolution made by the royal court after the deliberation of the ministers." The soldier explained.

Gong Beiwang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

By the way, when he left the southern border, it seemed that the emperor was going to attend the meeting of the five emperors in a few days. According to the Convention, he would stay for 10 days and a half months. In this short time, many matters of the imperial court would be discussed and decided by the ministers of the imperial court. Only the things that could not be solved would be put aside and wait for the emperor to go back to deal with them.

But it's strange that even if it's not the decision made by the emperor, the ministers who are not so confused should not let the only 2000 troops of the unyielding City faction come to the rescue as a joke. This kind of operation is just like sending cheese into a mouse hole.

Is it because it's a long way to get here from the south, and I'm afraid there's no time for rescue, so I asked Buqu city to send troops to delay for a while?

Gong Beiwang thinks it's possible.

"Does the reply of the imperial court say that the southern border will send troops to rescue?"

Pro Wei shook his head, "no, only let the adults be sure to assist the prince to lead the army out of the encirclement with the help of unyielding city. They believe that the prince and the adults will do their best to bring the general back to the south."

"Asshole, a bunch of idiots, what the hell are they thinking."

Gong Beiwang roared angrily, and the soldiers around looked at him one after another, with doubts on his tired face.

"These guys, don't you know what kind of situation the people in the South will fall into if the army here can't return to the south? I really want to kill them."

Gong Beiwang was very angry with the ministers who were far away from the imperial court, but he couldn't do anything about it when he was in trouble. He scolded and sat down again.

"Can the only hope now be placed on just two thousand people?"

Gong Beiwang smiles bitterly, and his eyes gradually despair.
