Chapter 1376 Despair-2
We have been online for more than 20 hours continuously. Many players have gone offline to take a break. Taking a good rest is for better fighting and to survive in this new field. But it is too difficult for us to survive now. .
…
I sat lonely in a chair among the weeds. Lin Wan'er lay on my lap and said with a smile: "Don't be too stressed. You have tried your best. Even if we really can't get out of here, it won't matter." your fault."
"If I really can't get out, it will definitely be my fault."
Looking down at the ants crawling in the grass, I said with great melancholy: "Who made me the commander-in-chief of this war? I thought I could retreat bravely and leave the legion system, but I didn't expect that in the end I fought such a failed battle. Even if Even when we went out, we failed miserably. My only hope now is not to be wiped out by the entire army. That is the worst and worst outcome."
Wan'er smiled, leaned her face on my knees, and said, "Husband, you are carrying too much."
"Um."
I caressed her long hair and said: "Baby, take Dongcheng, Matcha, and Xiaolang offline to rest for a while. Get a full 7 hours of sleep before going online again. The Aotian tribe did not counterattack so quickly. They seemed to be waiting. What, you take some time to rest, and I will take care of things in the ghost town for the time being."
"But you also need to rest!" She pouted and looked at me.
I couldn't help but smile, lowered my head and kissed her on the lips, and said, "Don't forget, your husband is a sun-flame body. It doesn't matter if you take a little rest. This is my last battle, and I must go all out. Be good and go!"
"Well, okay then..."
Unhappily, she went to the guild to arrange for everyone to go offline.
There are fewer and fewer players, and soon there are less than 50,000 people online. However, Yan Zhao Wushuang has never been offline. He is getting older and needs more rest. However, as a big boss, this uncle insists on not going offline. .
When Wan'er, Dongcheng, Song Han and other Dragon-Slaying players were offline one by one, two empire generals, Situ Xin and Lin Qiong, came on horseback. They dismounted and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there is another difficulty."
I said calmly: "Is it a matter of food and grass?"
"Yes."
Situ Xin cupped his fists and said: "The food and grass we carried with us have been exhausted. The horses of the heavy cavalry have not had food for more than a day. The weeds in the ghost city have almost been eaten up. If this continues, we will soon have no cavalry available. ”
Lin Qiong said: "What's even more frightening is that the soldiers' rations have also been exhausted. We are different from the Aotian tribe. They are cruel and cruel and can eat the corpses of the dead in battle. But we... our military rations have been exhausted. Since then, Since last night, all rations have been reduced to 30%, and many soldiers are starving. If this continues, they will collapse without a fight! "
I rubbed my groggy eyes and asked, "Is there any other way? Have the war eagle scouts we sent out found any place that can be used as food?"
"No, this area is completely deserted within a hundred miles." Situ Xin gritted his teeth and said, "You can graze cattle in the wilderness, but once our heavy cavalry goes out to herd horses, they may not be able to come back. The War Eagle Cavalry detectives detected that the Aotian Clan's army was divided into 12 groups, which were camped on all four sides of us. They basically surrounded us here. Each group has at least 50,000 troops, and any group can attack us. We pose a lethal threat and there is no way out.”
"Oh, I got it..." I should have guessed a long time ago that the Aotian clan will not let any of us leave alive. They know that we are the most elite army in the seven northern kingdoms, and letting us go would mean they are letting us go. Mountain, but if we are all killed here, it will be absolutely beneficial to their northern expedition.
At this moment, a man came over holding a dagger, wearing the first-class official uniform of a monarch, and leading several captains of ten thousand men. It was the Lord of Jiuli City, Duke Zhu Hai.
"Hai Gong, is something wrong?" I asked.
Zhu Hai clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, Zhu Hai's mission with the army this time was to be responsible for the shortage of food and grass, but he neglected his duty and allowed the three armies to be trapped here and endure hunger. This is Zhu Hai's fault! However, Zhu Hai has I have a message to tell His Highness."
"Well, what's the news?"
"When we entered this mysterious territory, there were still 5,000 logistics troops in the rear responsible for transporting food and supplies, but they never caught up. According to the report from the War Eagle Cavalry Detective, these 5,000 people had been killed by the Aotian clan, but Countless amounts of food, grass and ordnance are still stranded in the valley at the entrance. As long as these food and grass can be retrieved, it should be enough to feed the 300,000 army for half a month. "
Zhu Hai clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please give me 50,000 troops. Zhu Hai is willing to personally lead his army to fight out and take back our food and grass!"
I was stunned: "This..."
Situ Xin said: "Your Highness, there is no room for hesitation. Today the former army has begun killing horses for meat. Many wounded soldiers need to be fed. If this continues, I am afraid our entire army will be destroyed here."
Zhu Hai looked at me and said: "I know His Highness's worries, so I will only take 30,000 forbidden troops out of the city at night, and promise to get the food and grass back before sunrise tomorrow. Your Highness, you can't hesitate any longer!"
I looked at Yan Zhao Wushuang: "Uncle, what do you think?"
Yan Zhao Wushuang nodded: "Is this a solution? How about this? After they leave the city, I will gather the cavalry players in the city. As many as there are, we will go out of the city to the south to attract the attention of the Aotian tribe. Then Zhu Hai will lead the imperial army out of the city and maybe he can successfully grab the food and grass back."
"Well, this is the only way."
...
The troops were divided into two groups. Zhu Hai led 30,000 imperial army heavy cavalry out of the north gate at night, while Yan Zhao Wushuang led 20,000 cavalry elite players out of the south gate and headed straight for the Aotian tribe camp in the distance.
I stayed in the ghost town and didn't go anywhere. I needed a backbone here.
Holding a long sword, walking on the street, there were cries of wounded soldiers everywhere. Many people died of serious injuries one after another. Our number was getting smaller and smaller, and in more places, heavy cavalrymen slaughtered their war horses with tears. They had to kill the horses and share the meat, otherwise more people would starve to death. Some people even dug three feet into the ground to find food, and boiled mice, earthworms, etc. into a pot of porridge to share, which was very sad.
A young heavy cavalryman of the Imperial Guards held a bowl of horse meat with tears in his eyes. This horse meat was his war horse. From now on, he was just an infantryman. There was unspeakable sadness in his eyes.
I couldn't help but be moved and lowered my head.
Jingyin followed me and walked up to me and took my hand: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
I turned around and looked at her, smiling and said, "It's okay."
I know that this NPC, the 10,000-man captain of the Imperial Guards, actually loves me, but... it doesn't seem very good. There is no result between players and NPCs.
Jingyin pursed her red lips and said, "Your Highness, don't blame yourself. We have followed Your Highness to fight all over the country and have never regretted it. It is the fate of a soldier to die on the battlefield."
I looked at her beautiful face and couldn't help turning around. I held her face with my hands and smiled, "But you still have a better future. You shouldn't die here in vain. You haven't even married yet..."
Jingyin blushed: "I only wish to follow Your Highness and never marry."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? I don't belong here, and you don't belong to me. You still have a long way to go in your life!"
"Yes, Your Highness..."
...
More than two hours later, the cavalry player team led by Yan Zhaowushuang came back. They were just luring the enemy, so there was no damage. There was a chaotic sound in the distance. About 10w+ giant warriors of the Aotian clan were three miles away from the city. After a clamor, they retreated. They didn't seem to want to attack the city at night.
Soon, it was dawn.
A ray of rising sun pierced through the clouds. I stood on the north wall and looked into the distance, but there was no news.
"Have the War Eagle Scouts returned?" I asked.
Jingyin shook her head: "No, Your Highness..."
I was very worried: "There is no news from Zhu Hai, what is going on..."
Han Yuan said: "Do you want to... lead the Imperial Guards' heavy cavalry out of the city to support them?"
"No."
I waved my hand: "If Zhu Hai's army can't get out, then no matter how many people go, it will be in vain. Don't waste the Imperial Guards' manpower in vain."
Xiao Li said: "Your Highness, in fact, instead of being besieged here, it is better for us to fight our way out. It can be anywhere in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast. It is worse than waiting to die here."
I was bitter He laughed: "The Aotian tribe is waiting for us to break out of the city. Their total strength is now greater than ours, and their individual combat power is more than ten times ours. Xiao Li, do you think we can break out?"
Xiao Li looked helpless: "Probably... I can't..."
Just then, a war eagle scout suddenly flew over from the sky. The war eagle seemed to be injured and fell crookedly on the city wall. The soldier turned over with blood on his face and said: "Your Highness, the 30,000 imperial guards led by Duke Hai were ambushed in the valley. Probably... Probably none of them can escape..."
"How many troops do they have?" I asked.
"At least 100,000 people!"
Situ Xin raised his steel knife and his face was pale: "Your Highness, those 30,000 imperial guards are all mine... I beg Your Highness to send reinforcements immediately, they can't die in vain!"
Lin Qiong also clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, I am willing to lead the cavalry to break through and reinforce!"
I remained silent and asked the War Eagle Cavalry Detective: "What troops are there in the north?"
"There are 50,000 troops of the Aotian tribe in the northeast corner, and 50,000 in the northwest corner, all of which are sitting still."
I raised my head and sighed, speechless.
"Your Highness, send troops!"
Situ Xin, Lin Qiong, and Han Yuan knelt on the ground together.
Yan Zhao Wushuang looked embarrassed: "What should I do... They... They all have to go to reinforce!"
Jing Yin clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, if you don't go out of the city to reinforce, I'm afraid it will chill the morale of the army!"
Everyone looked at me, waiting for my order.
...
After a while, I looked down at everyone and said calmly: "Pass the order, close the city gates, and no one is allowed to leave the city!"
My heart ached. Zhu Hai, I am really sorry for you this time.
