Chapter 1468: Rob Tenzin's Cruelty

Across the Gema River.

Lob Tenzin had a hard time.

They wanted to retreat, but the enemy stuck to them like a dog-skin plaster.

Before this, he wanted to use 10,000 troops to block the enemy and let the main force cross the Gema River as soon as possible to support Gongbu.

But the 10,000 troops were quickly defeated under the fierce attack of the enemy.

They lost so many men in vain, and now they are leading a large army to confront Zhao Ji's troops again.

After the two sides continued to confront each other, Zhao Ji stopped attacking.

But as long as their army retreated, Zhao Ji would press forward.

Now, he is in a dilemma.

If they wanted to retreat to the other side of the Gema River now, they would have to leave at least 30,000 to 40,000 troops to block Zhao Ji's troops.

But he knew in his heart that if he left these 30,000 or 40,000 troops behind to block the enemy, it would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

He had transferred out more than 30,000 troops, and had lost nearly 10,000 in the previous battle.

Now, he only has a little over 100,000 troops left.

If he sent another 30,000 or 40,000 fully armored troops to die, even if he led his troops to the other side of the Gema River, how much combat power would these men and horses still have?

If these 30,000 or 40,000 troops failed to stop Zhao Ji's fierce attack, they would still be entangled.

If that time really comes, they will be in danger of being wiped out.

"Damn Zhao Ji! He's so hateful!"

Lobdanzeng was filled with worry and cursed Zhao Ji in the camp.

He knew that Zhao Ji was deliberately holding them back, leaving them unable to move forward or backward.

Once Gongbu is captured and their food supply is cut off, they will collapse without a fight!

This bastard Zhao Ji is also a difficult and insidious person!

"Report..."

At this moment, a long and urgent voice suddenly came from outside.

Hearing this voice, Lob Tenzin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Did the troops from Hun Gu get defeated, or did something happen in Gongbu?

Well, the troops from Hun Gu should have been defeated, right?

Now, Daqian has sent out 40,000 troops from Xing'an Fort, plus the rebels in Hungu, the tens of thousands of troops that are trying to wipe out the rebels in Hungu are definitely no match.

Their left wing was seized by troops sent by Zhao Ji.

It is almost impossible for the tens of thousands of troops in Hun Gu to join them now.

As for choosing a place to cross the Gema River from the upper reaches, the possibility should not be high.

Although there are places to cross the river upstream, if they want to cross the river to support Gongbu, the enemy must give them the opportunity to cross the river!

Just as Lobsang Tenzin was thinking secretly, the guards came in with the messenger.

"General, Gongbu has been lost..."

As he spoke, the messenger delivered an urgent report written by Gasmai.

"what?"

Rob Tenzin's face changed drastically. He snatched the urgent report and opened it with a frosty face.

Looking at the contents of the emergency report, Lob Tenzin's chest heaved violently.

Yun Zheng personally led the army to attack Gongbu. In less than half a day, Gongbu fell into the hands of the enemy.

What he was most worried about happened!

"Trash! It's all trash!"

Lob Tenzin tore the urgent report into pieces and roared in anger.

Gongbu is the capital of the Faqiang King!

At least we can get together two or three men to defend the city.

However, in less than half a day, Gongbu was lost.

What is this if not waste?

Even if 30,000 people stood on the city wall and threw stones, it shouldn't have fallen so quickly!

Gongbu was lost, and now they were being attacked from both sides!

What’s even worse is that their food supply has been cut off!

If we take other routes to transport grain, it will take an unknown amount of time, and Yun Zheng will definitely send troops to attack the grain escort team, so it will be basically impossible to transport grain to them!

After venting his anger, Lob Tenzin immediately ordered his men to summon all the generals to discuss the matter.

Soon, the main generals in the camp arrived.

As for those who are far away, they can’t wait for them.

Lobdan Zhangzhang spoke briefly and told everyone the news of the fall of Gongbu.

"what?"

"Gongbu was lost?"

"What...what should we do?"

"What are these useless people doing? In less than half a day, the enemy army broke through Gongbu?"

"Alas, that can't be said! After all, the enemy commander is Yun Zheng! As long as the defenders of Gongbu know that he is leading the attack, their morale will drop by several percent before the battle even starts..."

A group of generals fell into panic, some were cursing, while others were analyzing the situation rationally.

But everyone's face was filled with panic and sorrow.

They are all leaders, who doesn’t know how important Gongbu is to them?

Gongbu can be said to be the lifeline of their 100,000-strong army!

Dangerous!

They are in real danger now!

"General, we should quickly retreat to the other side of the Gema River, join up with Gasmai's troops, and recapture Gongbu!"

At this time, the deputy general made a suggestion.

"Withdraw, how to withdraw?"

Lobdanzeng had a headache. "Don't you know what our current situation is? If we retreat rashly, Zhao Ji will definitely lead his army to pursue us! By then, how many of our 100,000 troops will be able to cross the river?"

"But if we don't retreat, we're waiting to die!"

The deputy general said anxiously: "We must concentrate all our strength to retake Gongbu! We have no choice now!"

If they continue to confront Zhao Ji, how can they fight once their food and supplies are exhausted?

Of course he knew that if they retreated now, their losses would be huge, but if they did not retreat, their losses would be even greater!

"No, there is a choice!"

Lobdanzeng clenched his fists, his whole body filled with murderous intent: "I want to lead all the troops to fight to the death with Zhao Ji's troops. What do you think?"

what?

Everyone was shocked to hear what Lob Tenzin said.

He wants to fight a decisive battle with Zhao Ji's troops?

In the previous battle, they had witnessed the combat effectiveness of Zhao Ji's troops.

Their 10,000-strong blocking force was defeated in less than an hour, forcing their retreating army to stop urgently and confront Zhao Ji's troops again.

In this situation, Robe Tenzin still wants to fight to the death with Zhao Ji?

Facing everyone's gaze, Lobsang Tenzin said with a cold face: "Now, we have no choice but to fight to the death! If we retreat blindly, not only may we not be able to retreat, but we may also be wiped out! If we defeat Zhao Ji's troops, we can directly take Daqian Liaozhou and force Yun Zheng to retreat!"

"This……"

After listening to what Lob Tenzin said, the generals looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lob Tenzin’s idea is not bad.

But do they have the strength to do so now?

"I understand your concerns!"

Lobsang Tenzin raised his eyes and scanned the crowd. "The enemy is an elite force, but aren't we elite as well? Our forces are not weaker than Zhao Ji's. As long as we attack with all our strength, it may be possible to defeat Zhao Ji..."

Lob Tenzin continued to boost morale.

He had to boost morale!

Of course, he couldn't fight to the death with Zhao Ji.

But he needs tens of thousands of troops to fight to the death with Zhao Ji's troops with the determination to die!

We can’t let the troops who are blocking Zhao Ji’s troops think that we are sending them to their deaths!

Otherwise, these tens of thousands of troops might not only fail to achieve the blocking effect, but might also suffer a complete defeat as soon as they engaged in battle with the enemy, just like the previous ten thousand troops.

He didn't want to do this, but now, he had to do it.

Use the sacrifice of tens of thousands of people to cover the main army's withdrawal to the other side of the Gema River!

If they can concentrate all their strength to break through Gongbu and capture Yun Zheng alive, they still have hope!

Lobdanzeng clenched his fists and looked at his two sons again.

My children, I’m sorry!

Being a father is also for Xiqu.

I hope you don't blame me for being cruel...
