With the fall of the city defense command center, the situation on the battlefield, which was still unclear, began to become clear. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The leaderless defense line of Xicheng was beaten by the wind army, and a large number of Bessa's army was defeated and retreated, escaping from their positions and routing backwards, while the wind army advanced on the whole line and pursued the Besa army into Goro City.
The soldiers of the wind army are coming to the city.
At this point, all the outer defense lines of Goro City were lost, and the war in the Goro area was basically over, and the next thing to be fought was a direct siege battle against Goro City.
In the battle in the Goro area, the wind army captured a large number of supplies, weapons and ammunition of the Besa army, and the Besa artillery arranged in the defense line outside the city all fell into the hands of the wind army.
The artillery of the Wind Country was also all set up outside the city, and a large-scale siege battle was about to break out.
Now in the city of Goro, the people are panicking, and the government and the opposition are all feeling that a great disaster is coming.
The loss of all the defensive lines outside the city is equivalent to losing most of the battle, and there is only one Goro City left, how can it resist the wolf-like wind army?
With the ferocity of the wind army, once it enters the city, then the city of Goro will be destroyed, not only the soldiers and civilians in the city will be killed by the wind army, but I am afraid that the entire city will be burned by the wind army, the country of Besa may be able to afford such a loss, but the city-state of Besa cannot afford it.

For several days, the royal court of Besa has been urgently discussing how to deal with it. When the defense line outside the city was not lost, the ministers of the main battle accounted for the vast majority, but with the loss of the defense line outside the city, the ministers of the main peace began to gain the upper hand, and Will Prologis was one of the leaders of the main peace faction.
Originally, he was appointed by King Peter as the general of the West City, but how dare he go out of the city to defend it, he has always stayed in the city and remotely commanded the soldiers of the West City to deploy defenses. As the chief general, he didn't dare to go outside the city and command the battlefield in person, how could the soldiers below have the courage and determination to fight to the death with the enemy?
At this moment, Princess Jessica offered to defend the West City defense line for him, and Will didn't even hesitate, so he pushed his position as the Lord of West City to his little niece.
As a result, Jessica's military ability is indeed very unexpected, and it can even be said to shine, under her command and dispatch, the wind army was frustrated again and again when attacking the Xicheng defense line, if it wasn't for the last Shangguan Xiu who hit the fortress where Jessica was, it would not be so easy for the wind army to break through the Xicheng defense line.
In the royal court's meeting, Will, the titular general of the West City, has no shame and is still dancing like a river.
"Now, the defense line outside the city has all been lost, the 400,000 army of the Wind Country (the full strength of the Zhenjun Army is 400,000, and now the actual number of the Feng Army outside the city of Goro is less than 150,000), the soldiers are coming to the city, how can we fight the next battle? While the Wind Army has not yet broken the city, we still have the capital to negotiate with the Wind People, if we wait until the Wind Army breaks the city, we will not even have the capital to negotiate with the Wind People, and we can only be slaughtered by others!"
"Yes, the Duke of Pross is right!" said Colin Keaton, another foreign minister of the Lord and faction, and said bitterly, "Now the capital is really powerless to resist the powerful wind army, and if it continues to fight, it will only pay the price of the destruction of the city, Your Majesty, for the sake of the millions of inhabitants of the city, we ...... We should not fight again! Now that we have made peace with the wind people, our country is at best just a reparation, but our country is still alive and recuperating, and we can recover ten times and a hundred times more from the wind country in the future!"
"I'm afraid the Wind Country wants more than just money!" a Besa Army general stood up and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Nashikiya has already been renamed the North County within the Wind Country, and what the Wind People really want should be the entire Nashikia region, and the price of peace is that our country will lose Nashikaya forever!"
"What does it mean to lose forever? Temporarily satisfying Fengren's requirements is to preserve his strength and make greater plans in the future! Fengren often say that if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of running out of firewood, and you are brave for a while, and you are quick for a while, but you are short-sighted and have no big ambitions, and it is not a good strategy to save the country!"
Most of the main battle factions are military generals, and the ability of military generals lies in front of the two armies.
The general of the Besa Army who had just spoken was speechless by Colin Keaton's rebuttal, his face turned red, and he knew in his heart that the peace was wrong, but he just couldn't think of how to say it in order to refute it.
Will said to King Peter: "Brother Wang, don't hesitate any longer, let's hurry up and negotiate peace! Only now can we save Jessica safe and sound!"
It's better not to mention Jessica, and when it comes to Jessica, King Peter can't wait to slap Will and the other hard.
At the moment of the great enemy, the Lord of Xicheng will give this position too important, and he will not be at ease with outsiders, even if he knows that his younger brother is not successful, but he still entrusts him with a heavy responsibility and makes him the Lord General of Xicheng.
In the end, he was good, he actually let Jessica take his position, and pushed Jessica to the front line outside the city, if it wasn't for him, how could Jessica fall into the hands of the wind man?
Resentment in his heart is resentment, but now is not the time to hold him accountable.
Peter leaned his elbows on the table, dragged his forehead with one hand, he was already old, and now he looked even older, with a crown on his head, and a royal robe, but his magnificence could not hide his tiredness and old state, his face was dull, his beard was gray, and his whole person looked dull and lifeless.
He lost count of how many nights he hadn't had had a good night's sleep. He pondered for a long time and said, "Negotiate peace...... My bottom line is that I will only pay compensation, and I will never cede land. ”
The ministers present looked at each other, lowered their heads one after another, and no one answered. Peter asked, "Who wants to send an army of winds to find out the wind's mouth?"
Everyone's heads hang lower, and they send out the wind army, isn't that equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there is no return?
Looking around at the people present, Peter asked in a deep voice, "Why? It was you who proposed peace, and now you don't dare to send an envoy to the wind army?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man stood beside him and said to Peter, "Father, I will send an army of winds!"
The young man who volunteered to ask for it was Peter's eldest son, Lance Prologs, who was also the first in line to the throne of King Besa.
Seeing Lance's invitation, Peter frowned secretly, sending an envoy to the Wind Army, not without threat, with the ferocity of the Wind Army, once the talks collapsed, the envoy was likely to be killed or taken hostage, Peter really didn't want Lance to take this risk.
He didn't speak immediately, but Will shook his head again and again, and said: "Lance, it's not appropriate for you to send an envoy to the Wind Army, don't forget your identity, you are the first prince of my Besa Country, anyone can send an envoy to the Wind Army, but you can't!"
Will said what Peter wanted to say, and Peter was loved, hated, and angry with his untalented brother, but one thing was certain, Will had no disagreement with him, and was always on the same side as him.
Lance still wanted to speak, but Peter waved his hand at him, and said with an indifferent expression: "How is it child's play to negotiate peace with the Feng Army? Your Uncle Wang has already made it very clear that it is not appropriate for you to send the Feng Army, and you can't help making trouble about this matter!"
Listening to the meaning of his words, it was not that he was worried about Lance's safety at all, but that he thought that his ability was not enough, and he couldn't hear that he was protecting his shortcomings at all. As he finished speaking, Peter's eyes turned to Colin Keaton.
Colin understood what the king meant, and he was going to come forward himself, or recommend someone to come out.
As Minister of Foreign Affairs, he is in charge of handling foreign affairs, and now he wants to negotiate peace with the people, and it is only natural that he, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, should come forward.
His mind turned sharply, he sighed secretly, stood up stiffly, and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of sending the Feng army will be handled by the ministers!"
As Foreign Secretary, he had to listen to his words word by word. There is a big difference between dealing with it, not going there in person.
Peter looked at him deeply and nodded, "Well, I hope to get a result by tonight!"
"The minister understands!"
Sending such a dangerous thing to the Wind Army, of course, Colin will not go in person, but will send a capable subordinate.
This man, Brandon Winston, was not very old, in his early thirties, of medium talent, good-looking, quick-witted, eloquent, and diplomatic, and was greatly appreciated by Colin.
Ordered to send the wind army, Brandon was almost determined to die.
He had just left the city of Goro, and had not gone far before he was captured by the swarming Wind Army, who repeatedly explained that he was a messenger, but no one listened to him, and the Wind Army soldiers did not understand the Besa language, so they escorted him directly back to the Wind Army camp.
In the wind camp, I found a translator who could speak Besa to figure out what he meant. Soon, Brandon was taken to the Central Military Tent by the Wind Army. In the tent of the Chinese army, the generals and strategists of the Zhenjun army are discussing the details of the attack on the city of Goro.
Seeing a Besa man brought in by his own soldiers, the people stopped talking, frowning, and looking at Brandon.
Seeing the generals and strategists of the Wind Country full of tents, Brandon lowered his head, didn't dare to look around anymore, and said cautiously: "I am an envoy to your army on the order of Your Majesty, and I have come to ask to see Duke Shangguan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu walked out of the crowd, looked Brandon up and down, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Excuse me, are you ......"
"Shangguan Xiu. ”
"Ah, it's the Duke of Shangguan, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Brandon stroked his chest respectfully with the etiquette of Beth, and then said with a straight face: "In Lower Brandon Winston, it is the foreign affairs administrator of Bethesa. ”
The foreign administrative officer, placed in the official system of the Wind Country, is equivalent to the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and is a high-ranking official in the department, and his status is not low.
After hearing this, Shangguan Xiu nodded and asked with a smile: "So, what is the intention of Lord Winston?" Even if the other party didn't say it, he could guess a rough idea, when the soldiers came to the city, the royal court of Besa sent an envoy to come, except for negotiating peace, it is estimated that there is nothing else to talk about.
