Chapter 691 Meeting
Wu Mei and the others led the troops and followed the scouts to the residence of the imperial army.
He also saw Gong Beiwang, who seemed to be in a very poor state of mind, as if he was much older, and was no longer as powerful and confident as before. At the same time, he learned that the commander-in-chief of the army has now been changed to Gong Tian.
"What, how did you let him command the army? Isn't this a fool, can he command? Can the soldiers listen to him?"
Wu Mei was very surprised and dissatisfied that the imperial court even went to Gongbeiwang, the most prestigious army in the army, and let Gong Tianlai be the marshal when the army was under siege.
"Don't be rude, since it is the imperial court's decision, then we should abide by it."
"And this time it is indeed my carelessness to underestimate the enemy, which led to the current situation. The imperial court's approach is correct."
Gong Beiwang stopped Yu Mei from slandering Gong Tian.
"You shouldn't have come, you are throwing yourself into a trap, why are you so unwise." Gong Beiwang sighed.
The imperial court did not send troops from the southern border, but asked Buqu City to send three melons and two dates, which would be death. Gong Beiwang hoped that Mei Mei would not appear here. Not only could they not get the army out of the predicament, but they themselves were deeply trapped in it. The increase in casualties is really uneconomical.
But he also understood that Unyielding City had to obey the imperial court's order, so he just lamented without any intention of blaming.
"Originally we just planned to see if we could come up with a solution on the outside, but we were accidentally discovered, and the bridge on the back road was destroyed when we wanted to go back, and the other road was also occupied by the totem beastmen, and was chased and blocked. There is really no other way but to rush in and join the army, so it will be safer for the time being.”
Charming will briefly talk about it.
Gong Beiwang nodded after listening. Indeed, under such circumstances, a single army would definitely die, and a converging army would be safer for at least a short period of time.
But huddling together to keep warm is not the answer after all, if you continue to besiege here, it will only be a dead end.
"By the way, Marshal Gong, there is something I don't understand." Wu Mei asked when she thought of something.
"Don't call me Marshal, I'm not now."
Gong Beiwang smiled wryly, "If you have anything to ask, please ask."
"I led people into the forest, and the totem beastmen stopped chasing us. It should not be logical, but they did chase us and retreated after we entered the forest. Why?" Charming asked.
Gong Beiwang shook his head, "I don't know, I organized several breakouts before, and they just beat us back and stopped chasing us, and as long as we don't think about breaking out, they won't take the initiative to enter the forest to launch attacks, it seems Just holding the idea of besieging the army."
"Strange, what are they thinking when they fall to the ground?"
Charming fell into deep thought.
While everyone was communicating, Gong Tian brought his personal guards to the front of Wu Mei and the others after receiving the news that there was a troop coming in from outside.
"Bastard, did the imperial court send you defeated soldiers to rescue them?"
As soon as they met, Gong Tian's attitude was very bad.
The people in Unyielding City such as Mei Mei didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Your Highness, everyone in Unyielding City came to rescue us after all, you can't treat us with such an attitude." Gong Beiwang stood up and said with a disdainful attitude towards Gong Tian.
"Old man, now I am the marshal, commanding all the troops, it's up to you to speak here."
"I haven't settled with you yet. If it weren't for your command, we would have fallen into this situation."
Gong Tian looked at Gong Bei and cursed.
"you!"
When Gong Beiwang was treated like this before, he blushed with anger, half ashamed and half angry.
The embarrassment is that the current situation is indeed caused by him, and the anger is that Gong Tian doesn't respect him.
But Gong Tian was right, so Gong Beiwang could only swallow this humiliation.
"Gong Tian, although Uncle Gong is no longer the marshal, he is still your elder relative, is it up to you to treat elders like this?" Charming said coldly.
Not only is Wu Mei unhappy with Gong Tian's attitude, but other people around and the soldiers are also unhappy with Gong Tian's attitude. Although Gong Beiwang is dignified in the army, he loves soldiers like sons, does not do anything special, and always eats with soldiers He was a one-pot meal, and he took the lead in battle, which attracted the admiration of all the soldiers. Seeing him being humiliated, even the prince glared at him.
Feeling the soldiers' eyes, Gong Tian couldn't hold back his face, so he shifted his target and sternly shouted at Youmei: "Wu Youmei, don't be sharp-tongued with me here, you are just a defeated dog chased by the totem beastmen, Come over and seek the cover of the army, believe it or not, I will drive you out."
"Your Highness, at this time, one more person is more powerful. You must not drive away everyone in Unyielding City. Please calm down." Gong Beiwang lowered his body and prayed to Gong Tian.
"Hmph, for the sake of the uncle, you can stay here if you want to, but you can't stay here for nothing. Next, your army will be responsible for the food that the army needs. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Once a soldier complains about not getting food, Don't blame me for engaging in military law."
Gong Tian snorted coldly and led the people away.
"Hey, let him do what he can, take a chicken feather as an arrow, who will listen to you." Wenren spat at Gong Tian's back.
"Forget it, we came here to seek asylum, and we should do something." Charming said.
"Why, we can say that we are in trouble because we came to rescue, and the reason is not because of..."
Hearing that people were speaking in the middle, she was stopped by Meimei, and she realized that Yu Gong Beiwang's face was not good when she continued, so she swallowed the next sentence.
"Uncle Gong, don't be surprised, she is outspoken and not malicious."
Yumei apologizes to Gong Beiwang on Wenren's behalf.
"It's okay, you were indeed involved in this disaster because of me." Gong Beiwang expressed his understanding.
"Uncle Gong, the only people we brought this time are strong people. If we want to be responsible for the food for the tens of thousands of troops, there is not enough manpower. Is there any way?" Wu Mei asked.
Gong Beiwang smiled and said: "Before the army, the food of each department was in charge of themselves. If you leave it all to you, it will cause chaos. You just need to be responsible for your own food."
"But I'm afraid that the First Prince will cause trouble." She said charmingly.
"Don't worry, although he has become a marshal, His Royal Highness seldom asks about military affairs, and I will help you deal with it for the time being. As long as you don't tell him, just put on a show." Gong Beiwang said.
"Thank you, Uncle Gong."
"Haha, there's no need. Speaking of which, we are still of the same generation. Calling me Uncle Gong would definitely call me old."
Although the arrival of Wu Mei and the others didn't help the matter, it made Gong Beiwang's mood and pressure a lot relieved invisibly.
Next, Gong Beiwang, Wu Mei and the others discussed why the totem beastmen were only besieged but not suppressed, and what their purpose was, and they wanted to find a way to escape from it.
In this way, eight days later, the situation changed.
The boundary of Raofeng City attracted a group of 10,000 troops, most of whom were wild orcs. One of the leaders was Gong Fang, who had disappeared on the battlefield, and the other was Neha, whom Chen Fang was familiar with.
"The plan can start now," Gong Fang said.
"Contact the chief of the Black Leech Tribe first, it's best to meet up." Neha thought for a while and said.
Then Neha sent someone to contact the Black Leech Tribe.
Gong Fang looked at the forest besieged by the imperial army, with a smile on his lips, "Brother, don't blame my brother for being cruel, who told you to grab the throne from me."
For the sake of the throne, Gong Fang made a game, and it was time to end the game.
