Chapter 220

On the city gate, Dewey held the city wall with his hand and looked at the place not far below the city. Twenty thousand cavalry of the northwest army were swaggering, with flags all over the sky. He could not see any joy or anger on his face, but he pressed his hand on the city wall more and more tightly. There was a spark in his eyes!

This is provocation! Naked provocation!!

Du Weizao was no longer a military idiot. When he came to the northwest, he started from scratch. At least he knew something about his own army. Apart from other things, he also knew something about the array of the army.

When he looked at it, how could he not see that the other side was openly posing a naked attack?

"Dardanelle." Dewey suddenly whispered.

Dardanelle stands behind Dewey. As the city guard of Loulan City, Dardanelle commands the garrison of Loulan city. The warrior of the former Liszt family, facing the swagger of the northwest army under the city, also had a look of anger on his face. Hearing Dewey's call, he whispered: "my Lord."

"Let the flag shine! See what they want to do. " Dewey sneered.

Not long after, the flag came back and forth, and the people below reported: "my Lord, the other party told us that they asked us to open the gate of the city and let out a wall. They need to borrow the city defense to perform the offensive and defensive war..."

The reporter was a deputy commander of Dardanelle's men. Before he finished speaking, he saw Duwei's face was livid and his voice dropped.

Duwei sneered twice: "give up a wall? For them to perform offensive and defensive performances? Good! Good! Do they want to take the opportunity to tear down one of my walls? What a Northwest army

"My lord... How shall we answer?" The deputy commander asked in a low voice.

Du Wei face expressionless, coldly dropped a sentence: "no nonsense, directly flag to tell them: no!"

With that, Dewey left his entourage and went into the tower on the wall.

Northwest army. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?

Dewey sneered.

Before I asked for money and food, I had the mentality of spending money to buy peace, and I forbeared for a while. All the money and food... These bastards are still behind me! That time in niuli Town, the thousands of cavalry on the grassland were not secretly released by the northwest army!

Testing Laozi's bottom line? Then I'll give you a good look at what is called "bottom line"!

Walking into the city building, it seems very quiet in the underground chamber of the city building. Dewey is not modest. He sat right in the middle and then looked at Dardanelle: "Dardanelle, how many soldiers are there in our city now?"

"A infantry regiment of 4000 people... Is it effective? Loulan city is the capital of our country. Half of the 4000 infantry regiments are from the king's city guards you took in at the beginning. In terms of combat power, it should not be bad! As for the cavalry, a cavalry regiment led by general Longbottom, but the establishment has not been full. More than 2000 people. And... "Dardanelle seemed to see the anger in Dewey's heart, and could not help whispering:" Sir, if you really want to fight... The siege, the cavalry can not play a great role. Besides, there are too many cavalry. If we fight in the field, even if the warriors under general lombaton are stronger, 2000 people will go out, they will only be eaten. "

I don't know. Although he didn't respect Longbottom, the general was not unreasonable. He didn't speak in the room, but now he said in a low voice: "those northwest troops are very powerful, and the cavalry are very good at fighting... It's a pity that there are few of us. If you give me another 2000 people, I'll take them out for a while, and take advantage of their unstable foothold. It's not impossible to win for a while. Those guys show off their strength and run all the way. They consume a lot of horsepower. Now they're just putting on airs... My Lord, if you want to strike the ground, it's now, otherwise. When they've got enough horsepower. It's hard to fight again. "

Dewey suddenly laughed and looked at Longbottom: "my general... I'm just asking. Who said we had to fight? After all, they are also the imperial army. In my opinion, they threaten us and can't fight. You want to embarrass me and try my bottom line by the way. "

Longbottom grinned: "of course... But the northwest army has invested a lot of money this time. I think these 20000 cavalry should be the best in the northwest Army... If they are put here for no reason, there must be a purpose!"

At this time, all of a sudden, Du Wei's side, Du Wei's current chief of staff, Philip spoke.

After more than a year's baptism of government affairs, the young man's temperament became more and more calm. His originally handsome face actually washed away his original simplicity and showed a bit of tenderness. He gently reminded: "my Lord, I think of a possibility."

"Speak

"I heard that general Rugao of the northwest Legion is one of the faithful admirers of marquis Liszt... A few days ago, the northwest Legion had a good relationship with us, but just after your coming of age ceremony, their attitude towards us changed a little."

With that said, everyone in the room was silent. After all, Du Wei's private affairs are involved. No matter how many of his generals talk and laugh with Du Wei, it's hard to make a sound now.

Dewey narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Philip, you have a point. Ha ha... Marquis Liszt, you've given me a lot of trouble! "

"It's just one of them." Philip closed his sleeves, slightly yawned, and said in a low voice, "my Lord, although I have different military strategies, I can see that the other side's army is a kind of siege. I'm afraid... They won't really fight. After all, the northwest army has not yet made up its mind to rebel against the Empire. However... Besieging our capital for a period of time gives us a big embarrassment, but it is not impossible! What's more, it will be spread out in the future... My Lord, your capital city has been besieged by the northwest army for ten or eight days, but you can't go out of the city. You have become a shrinking turtle and let the other party flaunt their power at the door of your home... Then your majesty will be greatly damaged! "

That's it. Dardanelle said angrily, "Philip! Who do you think is a turtle with a shrunken head! As a member of staff, you don't respect the officer. How dare you insult the Duke

Duvet waved his hand: "Dardanelle, Philip just made a metaphor. However, what he said is reasonable. The northwest army won't really fight. However, after a few days of siege, we were blocked at our door. This spread. I'll lose my face! " He paused for a moment and looked at Philip: "what you said is very good. Dardanelle is not aimed at you. You two don't have to worry about it."

Philip's face was calm and calm. He stepped back and said, "yes."

Dewey refused to fight under the banner demanded by the northwest army. After a full hour, the northwest army did not make any further excessive moves. Only a few thousand people were separated to patrol around, but the siege posture was undisguised.

Although the other side did not have a real frontal attack, but the Tulip House on the wall of the side, and not the slightest lax!

Intellectually, everyone thinks that although the northwest army is arrogant, it should not make overt Rebellion: after all, the northwest army has been safe for so many years. Now there's no reason to turn around for nothing. Moreover, in terms of timing, it is not a good opportunity for rebellion.

However, after all, Chen Bingcheng, the other side, is not in charge. 20000 steeds, right in front of you! This kind of thing is always uncertain.

As time went by, the tulip soldiers were all ready on the wall. Dardanelle was fully armed with armor and went back and forth with his own generals. Longbottom also went to reorganize the cavalry in the city to get ready. Only Dewey. Simply let people move a chair, sitting on the city gate, legs up, coldly looking at the northwest cavalry not far from the city.

The iron cavalry of the northwest Legion really deserves its reputation. The cavalry of the 20000 people are well-organized, and they are listed in the lower part of the city without any slackness. Just quietly keep horsepower, and city confrontation.

And when the sun is a little bit West. The old smoke behind Du Wei suddenly changed his face slightly. Look at Dewey again. He frowned and stood up from his chair. Holding the wall with both hands, looking at the distance

On the horizon, a faint black line appeared, and then it became a continuous black cloud! Accompanied by, is a "rustle" "rustle" sound! Armor collision, boots owl! Shield like a wall, sword like a forest!

Full five infantry regiments, more than 20000 infantry, march towards Loulan city!

Giant shield soldiers in the front, long spear soldiers in the back, and then back, they are all elite northwest soldiers. There are several thousand archers in the back, all dressed in light clothes, with a long bow of Imperial military style behind them

As the saying goes, thousands of people and horses cover the sun! More than 20000 new infantry came from afar, but they still had a strong lineup. Judging from their temperament, they were the elite of several divisions directly under general Lu Gao, the commander of the northwest army!

Seeing the arrival of a large number of infantry of the northwest army, the northwest cavalry guarding under the city immediately cheered. Countless cavalry raised their guns and cried long live.

The infantry slowly came to the bottom of the city, and then fell into silence!

At the moment, there is a suffocating scene in the city. There is no human voice in the air, only the breathless silence!

At this moment, suddenly the northwest army's array separated, revealing a row of archers behind. These archers took down their long bows and arranged them in a dense array of salvos. They stretched their bows to take arrows, but the arrows aimed at Loulan city!

The tulip family's garrison in the city immediately changed color. Under the order of the garrison officer, everyone picked up the shield.

Only Du Wei, still holding the wall sneer.

Sure enough, these archers then lowered the arrow, and did not aim at the city. After a round of salvo fire, the arrow rain was like locusts, shooting about 20 meters below the wall of Loulan city! But see the open space above, the ground is full of arrows!!

Then, the northwest Army Infantry under the city, as if on purpose, burst out laughing. The unbridled laughter made the tulip guards in the city angry.

These garrisons used to be the garrisons of the imperial capital with eyes higher than the top. If they can become the garrisons of the capital of a country, they are naturally elite! Although they were all guilty and rebellious in the end, they were proud of themselves. But can not tolerate the northwest army in front of their domineering! In their hearts, they still feel: Laozi is the central army, these guys are just local army!

After a volley, the archer stepped back, leaving a forest of arrows under the city. Then a thousand men engineering team was separated from the infantry of the northwest army, and they began to work and dig the fortifications under the eyelids of the tulip family garrison in the city. Cut down trees, set up a tent, erect a fence, and set up a camp here!

And the northwest army at this time called a angry flag!

Dardanelle's deputy commander, who had received the other party's flag, blushed and seemed to be afraid to speak in front of duvet.

"Just say it." Dewey waved his hand.

The deputy commander took a deep breath. He gritted his teeth and said, "my Lord, they say..." he seemed to have a trace of anger in his voice, and his voice was hoarse: "they said... Your Duke, I have learned that the third cavalry division and the fifth infantry division of the northwest army are practicing under Loulan city. According to this order, from this moment on, the areas covered by the bows and arrows of the anti northwest army are all restricted areas in wartime. No one, including the local leaders of the Empire, can disobey the military order and enter the forbidden area without authorization. Those who disobey the military order of the Empire have the right to kill the northwest army on the spot. "

Dewey laughed instead of angry. With a smile, he pointed to the arrow forest on the ground below the city and said with a smile: "what they mean is that these arrows are the scope of the forbidden area... Let's stay in the city, otherwise as soon as we get out of the city, we will break into the forbidden area and we can kill people. Is that right? "

"... yes. My Lord The deputy commander's face was bleeding, and he couldn't help shouting: "Your Highness! When did we eat such a loser! The northwest army is nothing. Dare to bully us... My Lord, with your order, I'll take people out and kill them! "

Du Wei laughed, patted the officer on the shoulder and said gently, "don't worry, don't worry, they have military orders, so I have no countermeasures? Hum... I'm playing the wartime regulations again. I don't want that. "

After a pause, Du Wei said with a smile: "well, the order goes on. Everyone should strictly guard their posts and not leave without permission... Close the city gate tightly and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Aren't they going to row the penalty area? Let's stay in the city and let them toss around outside the city. Hum, 20000 cavalry, 20000 infantry, 40000 people eating and drinking Lhasa... Isn't it to besiege the city? Let them surround

Dewey said, waving the officer down.

Some people don't understand the meaning of the Duchess... Is it so tolerant?

Dewey then ordered that all the students of the magic academy be mobilized to the city.

Twenty eight students all came to the city according to Du Wei's request. Du Wei suddenly said with a smile, "among you, I'm afraid you don't have anyone who can fly in the wind yet?"

The students looked at each other face to face. It's true that the flying skills of the wind system, at their present level, can't be used.

Dewey thought: "well, then all of you immediately put on your magician robes... Stand on the city gate, stick to the wall and stand as eye-catching as possible! The more eye-catching the better

Then Dewey invited the leader of the team who brought these magic students to practice in the Northwest: two disciples of master Aleck.

These two are decent level seven magicians.

Dewey called Vivian in again.

"After a while, you don't have to do anything else, just fly to the castle and fly to the sky..." Du Wei said with a smile: "Er, you two mages, if you can, I hope you can help me a little bit and do a little magic, no exaggeration, no offensive magic, a little wind or light, Anyway, the effect is gorgeous and eye-catching. "

The two disciples of master Aleck had a good relationship with Dewey and agreed.

"Vivian." Dewey took a look at the silly girl: "will you do some magic that looks dazzling but doesn't have much practical effect? Such as magic array, or making some light ball, I'm used to scare people. "

Vivian seemed to understand, nodded: "I... I will be a blessing of the light department, blessing shrouded in the scope, can let our people double the courage, increase the morale of war, OK?"

Dewey laughs: "good!"

Then, at the command of Du Wei, three figures rose from the top of the city!

Vivian is in the middle, and the two disciples of master Aleck are on both sides!

Three people, in the city tens of thousands of Northwest military attention, gently floated to the mid air! The disciples of master Aleck on both sides are all wearing grey robes, which is nothing more.

But Vivian is a real white robed mage! That white robe is a symbol of power and dignity!

Vivian is flying in the air. Her hands are shaking gently. She slowly draws a circle in the air. She clearly sings the incantation in her mouth. Soon, on her head, a golden six pointed star pattern appears in the air! Innumerable golden light drops like raindrops on the top of the city! The light of the six pointed star became more and more bright, and at last almost enveloped the whole city wall below!

Master aliko's disciples on both sides don't know the opportunity? Hurry to show their magic power, fully cooperate with Vivian's action. Such a huge blessing technique, how gorgeous it is! And in the light of magic, the two gray mages' majestic voice of chanting incantations, using magic, word by word clearly and incomparably transmitted to the far away... In addition, on the wall, a whole row of magic students in robes stood out... Suddenly, this posture is really frightening! The general of the northwest army below was surprised to see it! So many magicians? The three flying in the sky are not counted. Why is there a row of people standing on the wall? Damn... One, two, three... Shit! Why so many!! By this time, Dewey had personally led a soldier who was specially responsible for flag. Wen said, "I have some words to spread to the opposite side, but the meaning is a little complicated. I don't know if I can say them clearly in flag language." The soldier looked at the Duke and said excitedly, "your honor, no problem!"“ Good! I said, "you fight!" Dewey's face sank“ All generals of the northwest Army: we have Roland mainland magic society, magic academy, one white robed mage, two gray robed mages, and twenty-eight magicians! I am ordered to go to the Northwest for business! From now on, in the name of the magic society, the special terms and orders of the magicians in the imperial code have been approved by the Duke of the northwest. The special orders are as follows: from this order, three hours later, within ten miles of Loulan City, we will try our best to test large-scale magic weapons! Change the magic to mass destruction magic. During the test period, please avoid anyone! If you don't do anything, if you are covered by my magic, and if you have any damage, the magic society will not take any responsibility according to the special provisions of the imperial code for magicians The flag was sent out, and the northwest army was shocked! Large scale magic weapon test? What is this? Sounds like something very dangerous! Looking at the three magicians floating in the sky, as well as the long row standing on the wall, people can't help sweating! Du Wei stood in the city, sneering: Northwest army, northwest army, do you want to try my bottom line? I'm afraid you can't afford it! Hum, if you can try me, I can't try you! Let's see if you have the courage to revolt now!
