Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 150 The Barbarian King and the Left Wise King's Helplessness

"Looks like we've been tricked."

The Left Wise King looked at the Barbarian King.

"You mean the information sent by the Right Wise King was false?"

Upon hearing the words of the Left Wise King, the Barbarian King immediately inquired.

"No, the message from the Right Wise King should be true. It concerns life and death, and the Right Wise King would not joke about it."

"It's just that the number of troops confronting them is probably not large, and the Right Wise King has fallen into their trap."

The Left Wise King shook his head.

The Right Wise King would never joke about something that concerns life and death.

"Do you think it's possible that Eastern Qin has sent reinforcements? Their reinforcements have arrived."

The barbarian king then suggested another possibility.

If Eastern Qin really reinforces its troops, they'll be in trouble.

They already had no advantage against the Divine Martial King and the Northern Garrison, and if the Eastern Qin continued to reinforce their troops, they would be in real trouble.

"That's also possible. If it really is Eastern Qin reinforcing their troops, then we'll be in big trouble."

The Left Wise King said with a solemn expression.

He simply couldn't understand why Dong Qin would attack them at this time.

Didn't they just conquer the Southern Qi not long ago?

Does the Eastern Qin not need to digest the territory of the Southern Qi?

The Left Wise King was filled with doubt.

In fact, it wasn't just the Left Wise King who was puzzled; the Barbarian King and several of the Barbarian Grandmasters were also puzzled.

They couldn't understand what Dong Qin was trying to do.

You say that Dong Qin wants to conquer them, so shouldn't the conquered tribes treat their people well?

However, the Zhenbei Army slaughtered their way through the enemy lines, leaving no survivors, which was completely unlike the style of the Eastern Qin.

If you say that Eastern Qin's goal isn't to take them down, then why are they sending more troops?

"Regardless of the circumstances, let the army prepare for defense first."

"The Zhenbei Army has made its move; it's unlikely to end so simply."

The Left Wise King couldn't understand it, so he immediately made a suggestion.

Let's deal with the immediate problem first.

Just then, a soldier rushed over.

"Report, Your Majesty, Your Highness, the vanguard has been ambushed by the Zhenbei Army and requests reinforcements."

The words had barely left his lips.

"Report! Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Right Army has been ambushed by the Zhenbei Army..."

"Report! Zuo Jun has been ambushed by the Zhenbei Army..."

Several sounds came in succession.

The barbarian king and the Left Wise King were immediately alarmed.

"Quickly, issue the order to engage in battle."

The barbarian king immediately gave the order.

Then he led his men to the right.

Seeing this, the Left Wise King did not say much and directly led his men to support the Left Army.

However, by the time they arrived, the battle was over, leaving only a field of corpses.

Left Army.

"What's going on? Enemy troops?"

The Left Wise King summoned a general to inquire.

"Your Highness, the Zhenbei Army ambushed us and then left immediately."

The general said with a grim expression.

By the time he arrived to provide support, the Zhenbei Army had already left.

The situation was the same on the right flank.

After learning of the situation, the barbarian king and the left wise king exchanged a few words and then went to advance the army.

When they arrived, the vanguard was cleaning up the battlefield.

They then realized that the situation was the same as before.

They had no idea that this was just the beginning of their nightmare.

Just as they were preparing to rest, they were attacked from behind again.

Neither of them dared to leave easily. Finally, the Left Wise King brought the leader of the Wolf God Sect to the Left Army to take charge.

The Barbarian King was stationed at the front, while the other two directions were overseen by two other Grandmasters.

But their idea was good; they wanted to use the title of Grandmaster to intimidate the Zhenbei Army.

After all, they are still unaware that all four of Qin Wu's generals have broken through to the Grandmaster realm.

Next, the Zhenbei Army began using wolf pack tactics, constantly launching surprise attacks, each one a quick strike and then retreating, never engaging in direct combat.

This made them extremely upset.

However, they were completely unable to defend themselves. Now that they had no fortifications, they could not stop the harassment from the Zhenbei Army.

This infuriated the barbarian king and the Left Wise King.

But they didn't know that soon, even more upsetting news would arrive.

Because their royal court lacked a Grandmaster, many important figures were assassinated by the secret guards sent by Qin Wu.

In particular, the harems and offspring of the barbarian king and the two wise kings were almost entirely assassinated.

Their royal court is now in chaos.

The Right Wise King was unaware that he was now the safest.

They are still anxiously awaiting the support of the Barbarian King and the Left Wise King.

Now he can only passively defend every day and doesn't even dare to leave the camp. He doesn't have much food and grass to begin with, and it won't last more than a few days.

He had tried to confront the Zhenbei Army head-on.

However, Fu Hua almost led a large army to kill him, which terrified him.

This is one of the reasons why he confirmed that the entire Zhenbei Army was here.

After all, all the grandmasters are here.

According to his information, only the Divine Martial King in the Zhenbei Army is a Grandmaster, which means that the Divine Martial King is here.

Without a Grandmaster in charge, he dared not engage the Zhenbei Army in direct combat.

Meanwhile, the barbarian king hoped that the Right Wise King would discover the problem soon and provide them with support.

Both sides are waiting for each other's support.

Qin Wu smiled after receiving the message from Fu Hua; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

The Zhenbei Army's subsequent sneak attacks became even more frenzied.

Qi Ye and his group also personally took action to intimidate the Northern Barbarian Grandmasters, preventing them from making a move easily.

After they left, they all sought help from others, and only then did they learn that there were four Grandmaster-level experts in the Zhenbei Army.

The barbarian king's face turned ashen; they hadn't received a single whisper of such important news.

If he had received this news earlier, he would never have chosen to take action against the Left and Right Wise Kings. Perhaps he could have reunified the Northern Barbarians without even lifting a finger.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation now, where we were caught off guard and directly attacked by the Divine Martial King's army.

However, it's too late to regret it now; we must find a way to overcome the current difficulties.

At this moment, the Left Wise King also arrived.

"Your Majesty, you should have received the news. Do you have any plans?"

The Left Wise King didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

He was now in a real bind; the situation had completely exceeded his expectations.

He couldn't understand why there were three more Grandmaster-level experts in the Zhenbei Army of Dongqin, even though they now had the same number of Grandmasters.

However, Dong Qin also has a powerful and terrifying Divine Martial King. Given the same number of enemies, they have absolutely no chance of winning.

"Plans? Right now, we can only try to get rid of the Zhenbei Army and rebuild our defenses in the nearest tribe. We can't win a head-on confrontation."

The barbarian king said with a gloomy expression.

He no longer dares to fight Qin Wu in the wild.

The most crucial point is that we simply can't beat them.

"Get rid of us? Forget about it. The Zhenbei Army will never let us leave, and the Divine Martial King will certainly not allow us to leave."

"Once we are annihilated and the Right Wise King's army is wiped out, taking over our Northern Barbarians will be a piece of cake."

The Left Wise King gave a wry smile.

Things I couldn't understand before, I finally understand now.

All of Shenwu King's previous actions were intended to force them to divide their forces.

They had been naively calculating their schemes against the Divine Martial King, but little did they know they had walked right into his trap.

If their hundreds of thousands of troops hadn't been divided, it wouldn't have been easy for the Divine Martial King to take them down, and even if he did, he would likely suffer heavy losses.

Now that they have divided their forces, the Divine Martial King can defeat them one by one.

The barbarian king understood the Left Wise King's meaning, but they had no other choice now.

"We must try no matter what. The entire army must assemble and break out directly towards the nearest tribe."

"With our hundreds of thousands of troops charging at the same time, even if the Divine Martial King wanted to stop us, he couldn't."

The barbarian king gritted his teeth and said.

Little did he know that the nearest tribe was hundreds of miles away.

Qin Wu didn't need to stop them; he only needed to send light cavalry to keep chasing them down, which would wear them down.

The tribes in other places have already been wiped out by Qin Wu's troops.

"Alright, that's the only way."

After thinking for a moment, the Left Wise King also felt that this was the best solution.

As for the Right Wise King, they had no choice but to give up on him for now.
