Chapter 692

They have been trapped in the forest for at least half a month. The food consumed by tens of thousands of people is not a small number. The supplies brought by the army will soon be consumed. In order to support them for a longer time, a rationing system was implemented earlier. At the same time, some mutant animals were hunted in the forest to supplement them.

But it didn't last long, the supplies were eaten up, and the wild animals in this small forest were all hunted.

In recent days, bark and grass roots have become the staple food. Except for the prince and his bodyguards, the rest of the people take vegetables with them.

Charming and others can only rely on the temporary cultivation of plant fruit bud barely maintain, but always eat fruit do not eat meat is not a long-term solution.

"If we drag on, all the soldiers will lose their fighting power. At that time, they may not even have the strength to walk. If the totem crazy orcs attack, we will have no resistance." Said charming and worried.

Gong Beiwang looks heavy. He naturally knows what will happen if he goes on like this.

When he found that food was about to become a problem, he went to the eldest prince to explain the situation, hoping that Gong Tian could order the army to organize a breakthrough, but he was rejected, and he was driven out without even saying the reason.

"That guy can enjoy himself under any circumstances. He even ordered that the food he hunted should be given priority to him. It's extremely unbearable. He doesn't look like a marshal." I heard people saying.

There are fewer and fewer prey in the forest. Sometimes he can't catch two or three in a day, but Gong Tian takes all the prey away as a marshal and doesn't leave any for the soldiers. He and his bodyguards can eat enough for 60000 people, while others can only eat bark and grass roots. Moreover, every time he eats enough, he will pull his bodyguards to engage in multiplayer sports. It's shameless It has aroused the discontent of everyone except him and his bodyguard.

"Leave him alone."

Charming doesn't want to mention any topic of Gong Tian. It's a waste of words to say that at this time.

"Uncle Gong, you can't hesitate any more. It's better to make the last fight while the soldiers still have some strength. It's better than waiting here to die." Said charming.

"I want to fight, but I'm not a marshal anymore. I can't command the army." Gong Beiwang said in embarrassment.

Charming heart a sigh, Gong Beiwang too pedantic, what is the situation, but also abide by the imperial court's order.

"Uncle Gong, with your appeal in the army, even if you don't have the position of Marshal, I believe you can still command the army."

"Now the situation is life and death. You can't watch the army dragged to death here. Don't worry about it." Charming advised.

Other people, including Gong Beiwang's subordinates, also persuaded one after another.

Seeing that everyone felt that they should fight hard, Gong Bei gritted his teeth and decided: "OK, I'll call all the officers and soldiers to make the final breakthrough, but fighting to death also requires strategy. You can't go to death in vain. Do you have any ideas?"

Many people are silent, trapped in this period of time, they did not think about how to break through the totem Orc defense, but did not get along.

Just when everyone was silent, Jimo said, "I have two plans."

People will look at Jimo, waiting for her to go on.

"I've learned that in your previous breakouts, all the soldiers gathered together to break out in one direction, and were finally defeated by the totem crazy orcs who gathered together, resulting in the failure of the breakout."

"I think the totem orcs have some way to keep an eye on the army." Jimo said.

"It's true that the previous breakthroughs were all in different directions. Every time when they were about to reach the periphery of the forest, they would be beaten back by tens of thousands of totem crazy orcs. One time might be bad luck. Two times and three times could not be related to luck. You don't have to think about them knowing our army's movements."

Gong Beiwang nodded, and then said:

"when I think of this, I ask the soldiers to pay attention to removing all the animals in the surrounding environment. After all, the totem beast that totem crazy orcs can use to monitor our movements is their totem beast, but it doesn't seem to have any effect, and I don't know why."

The mutant beasts, whether in the sky, on the earth or under the earth, were all cleaned up by the soldiers, but the later breakthroughs were still blocked by the totem crazy Orc army.

"I think maybe the totem beast of totem maniacs is not just animals." Jimo reminded.

"You mean..."

Jimo pointed to a seemingly ordinary plant not far away and said, "that plant is called pregnant Cordyceps. As far as I know, this plant will not appear in places other than the West."

Pregnant Cordyceps, the overall gray, three leaf high stem root, leaves with holes in the middle, stem as hollow as straw, root empty room, belongs to the western wilderness plants, can not survive outside the wilderness for too long.

Because the pregnant Cordyceps is symbiotic with a small insect called cycloptera, which lives in the empty chamber of its root.

Although pregnant Cordyceps is a plant, it can't absorb soil nutrients. All the nutrients are provided by the dead body of Monochamus.Once there is no food source, the one eyed fly will die quickly, and the pregnant Cordyceps will die soon.

"After I noticed this plant, I went to look for it and found that there were many withered pregnant Cordyceps in the place where the army was. Not surprisingly, totem crazy orcs should use pregnant Cordyceps and some other special plants as surveillance means." Jimo said.

"It's amazing that plants can also be used as a means of surveillance."

Everyone was surprised.

"Sister, is that how they use this pregnant Cordyceps to monitor us? Is it the eye of the one eyed fly? " Asked someone.

Jimo shook his head, "I don't know how the totem crazy orcs use pregnant Cordyceps to monitor our movements, their means are very strange."

"After all that, what are you trying to say?"

A subordinate of Gong Beiwang is impatient. What he wants to hear is how to break through the encirclement, rather than listening to popular science here.

"If we have a way to remove these plants that are used by them to monitor the army, so that they can't know our movement and can't concentrate on one place to encircle as before, then the success rate of our superior forces to break through the encirclement will be greatly improved." Jimo said.

"But it's not easy. We don't know that they used several plants to watch us."

Charming shakes her head. If you want to identify a plant in the forest as a monitoring object of Totem Tribe, it's not only a test of knowledge, but it's not easy to find it in the forest full of vegetation at the same time. Unless a fire is burned, but whether it can be set on fire in humid environment or not, it's them who suffer first.

"What's the other plan?" Gong Beiwang asked.

"Divide."

Jimo light spit two words

"divide forces?"

"Yes, divide the troops. The general team is divided into more than four troops and breaks through the encirclement from all sides at the same time. In this way, the totem crazy orcs have to divide their forces to encircle. It depends on their luck and strength."

"Or sacrifice most of the soldiers to break through in one direction, and drag the totem orcs to death, and let another part of the troops break through in the opposite direction. My suggestion is the latter." Jimo said slowly.

"This..."

The crowd was silent.

The former is not likely to succeed in breaking through the encirclement, while the latter is likely to succeed, but

"No, we can't do that."

Gong Beiwang directly vetoed it. He would not give up on soldiers.

"Yes, that's it."

A voice inserts, the public turns a head to see the palace day took the pro Wei to come over.

"Order the whole army to assemble." Gong Tian said to Gong Beiwang coldly.
