Chapter 615

"Push! Push! Push! Push

The officers roared, and one by one the catapults were piled up under the wall of the city. The soldiers carried tools and wood back and forth, pushed heavy catapults one by one onto the city wall with their shoulders, and set stone frames one by one under the city wall.

The logistics troops took down all the wooden boards that could be dismantled in the city and made a large number of simple wooden shields.

The soldiers also knew that the battle would break out at any time. Without the fortress on the eastern front, Yakin city was exposed to the iron feet of the enemy. The enemy's wolf cavalry, as well as those Orc soldiers, can go all the way south on the plain without hindrance. It only takes two days to get to Yajin city!

Although the enemy did not move, the Duke of tulip was right: fate must be in his own hands. We can't expect the enemy not to go south. We should make more preparations now.

Therefore, although the officers and supervisors are almost harsh, most of the soldiers have no complaints. After all, it's also for your own life.

There used to be a small hillside not far from the city of Yakin. Duwei had already sent someone to go up the hillside and cut down all the original dozens of trees on the hillside. Another observation tower was set up on the hillside. From this height, you can see miles away. Although there are Griffin Knights patrolling in the sky, there are only 100 Griffin knights in total. There are always omissions in the patrol rounds.

The whole city of Yakin is in full swing. The army and the people are working together to prepare for the war. Innumerable one person holds the thick west the wooden stake to be full of the nail, has made the rolling nail pile in the city wall. After repeated reinforcement, in order to meet the battle at any time, a lot of wood was placed at the gate. All the carpenters in the city were busy for several days without a good sleep.

In the temporary headquarters of Yakin City, Dewey is discussing the war situation with 11 military academy graduates of his direct line. In addition, there are several local garrison commanders who have been transferred, as well as several middle-level officers who have escaped from the defeated storm Corps.

The defeat of the front line almost wiped out the senior generals of the eastern defense line, especially those with outstanding martial arts skills. Most of them died that night when they resisted the dragon. As for those who escaped... To be honest, Dewey didn't think much of these guys.

It may be excusable for ordinary soldiers to run away. After all, in such a noisy scene, everyone ran with them, just like a headless fly.

But when the general's escape, it's very different! As a general, you can't gather your own troops on the battlefield. Unable to calm the scene and make effective command and decision, Du Wei met several generals who had fled back. As a result, Du Wei, who was still under illusion about these people, gave up completely.

It seems that... Even if there is a brave general like Fink in the storm Corps. But there are also pustules. Some of the guys who escaped even wore a robe when they ran out. What's more, after the city broke, they only estimated that they were on the run, and even their own teams were left behind.

More ridiculous. After running to the city of Arkin and meeting Dewey, he demanded to command his original army again. Dewey immediately answered him: your army is no longer there. When you ran away, as a general, you abandoned your army. Now you come to me and want to go back?

Joke!

As a result, Dewey, no matter what influence he had, put those impetuous generals on the run. All of them were sent to the rear service.

It is true that he has been appointed as the chief General of the eastern front, but under normal circumstances, Dewey has no right to remove so many senior generals at once. Fortunately, after the defeat, everything was in a mess, and no one asked him whether the decrees were in line with the rules, whether there were military approval documents, and so on.

However, several urgent letters were sent from the military headquarters. It was said that the news of the lost Eastern fortress spread to the imperial capital. It's going to knock the whole military department over. The Regent was so angry that he lifted the table on the spot, and then sent a series of urgent messages to Arkin city. All in all, there is one meaning: Dewey, now you want people to give, money to give, what you want to give! DIDU will try to meet all your requirements! But... We must keep the city of Yajin. We can't step back!

Because in the back, from the north to the inner belly of the Empire, it was almost a flat plain!

"We have a few more questions." Gabriel wiped his face with a hot towel. Although he was tired, the boy's eyes were still very bright. When the young man first went to the front line, Gabriel showed more and more energy. He dropped the towel and said to Duwei, "my Lord, all the catapults in the warehouse have been put on the wall, But our problems are: first, we lack skilled Gunners! In order to form an effective killing weapon, the catapult must have skilled gunners and observers. We are short of the personnel reserves of these two skilled arms. Now we rush to let our people to operate the crossbow. I am afraid that even if we put a cow 20 meters away, they will be crooked. This is the first... The second problem is particularly serious. There are a lot of arrows stored in the warehouse, but there is a shortage of special catapults for catapults. Now, on average, each catapult can only have two base stocks of catapults. Once the war starts, I'm afraid these stocks will be used up after a battle. Then, the catapults on the city wall will become furnishings. "

Gabriel looked at his colleague and said in a loud voice, "if it's just an ordinary arrow, the craftsmen in the city can make it temporarily. But this kind of crossbow must be forged by professional military equipment. We can't make it ourselves. "

Du Wei nodded and looked at his younger brother with satisfaction. This boy is really worthy of the Rowling family. The inheritance of his father, old Raymond, is particularly obvious in him. When he comes to the battlefield, he seems to become a calf. The whole body has endless strength. Looking into Gabriel's red eyes, Dewey knew that the boy had not slept for nearly three days.

"Well, I've written down the two questions you said. Someone has been sent to the rear to mobilize, and the person who was sent to contact the main eastern frontier has returned. General Rostock said that he would send a batch of materials to us as soon as possible."

Gabriel said, and without waiting for Dewey to ask, arol immediately said in a loud voice, "my Lord. I inspected the city wall. Generally speaking, the city wall of Yakin was in good condition. The repair work before the war was in line with the standard. However, the location of the west side of the city was not far away from the city because it was the hillside. I was worried that once the war started, the enemy would occupy the hillside so that I could have a distant view of the city. We will observe all our internal activities, but now time is too tight, we have no time to excavate the hillside... "

Dewey closed his eyebrows and knocked on the table: "it's a difficult problem. You all think about it and see if there's anything you can do. If it doesn't work. Ask the magician to help. But it's a hillside after all. I'm afraid it's not so easy to level it. If it's really not possible, set up a few catapults in the west of the city. "

After yaluoer finished reporting, it was a slender young officer with brown and black hair who stood up to speak. Did Dewey give this guy a good look, Kira? Well, it's the guy with the same name as the protagonist of Godard in his military academy.

"Sir, everything in the barracks is safe. We have dispatched a large number of officers at the grass-roots level to reorganize the defeated troops of the storm corps as you ordered. But... "At this point, the young man's tone was a bit awkward.

"But what?" Dewey snorted.

"Over the past few days, some of them have come here one after another to report on the officers in the defeated areas of the front line. Some people came to the barracks and asked to take over the command of their old army. "

Pop!

Du Wei then picked his eyebrows, slapped the table hard, and suddenly said angrily, "son of a bitch! At the beginning, I lost my army in order to escape. Now I want to be a general when I come back! "

"Yes, my Lord." Kira said in a deep voice: "some of them are above the rank of commander, and claim that they belong to the storm Corps. Although you are the manager of the east line. However, there is no right to remove the general of the storm corps, and some people claim to invite general Rostock to come... "

"Let them go!" Dewey sneered: "these cowards. They dare to go to Rostock! The frontier fortress has been lost. I'm afraid Rostock has no place to vent his anger now. As defeated generals, how dare these people go to find general Rostock? Hum

He suddenly lowered his voice, glared at Kira, and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you a military order... I just don't know if you have the courage to do it!"

With that, Dewey's eyes flashed with strange light, and there was a ferocious sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Kyla took a look at Duwei and took a deep breath:" dare

"Good!" Dewey sat back and said, "if there are any more people going to the barracks, you will drive them out! If you still don't leave, catch up and fight! If you dare to make trouble even if you hit the baton... "Du Wei said here, deliberately pause, and then coldly said:" I grant you the privilege, whoever dares to disturb the military discipline in the barracks, regardless of rank, kill!! If something goes wrong, I'll take it! "

After that, Du Wei grabbed a pen and paper from the desk, brushed it, and quickly wrote a letter of authorization, and then handed it to Kira. He deliberately looked at the young man coldly to see if he had the courage to do this kind of thing. After all, to do this kind of thing, although Du Wei said something, he would bear it, but after all, as the executor, if he killed, It will offend a lot of people.

The young man, Kira, was silent, but firmly took the military order from Dewey with both hands. Then he gave a salute and strode out.

Du Wei nodded with satisfaction, although not quite the same as the protagonist in his impression, but this young man is a good seedling!

Dewey leaned back down and rubbed his sore brow. He was very busy these days. After a look at the generals in the hall, he regained his spirits and listened to other officers' reports about the barracks and city defense in the city.

At this time, suddenly a figure burst in, slamming the door of the hall, and then strode in.

The visitor seems to be a bit reckless, but he looks calm. Just running all the way, it seems to be a little out of breath.

"Aslan, what's the matter?" Yaluoer gave a deep warning.

Du Wei a look, it is one of his "up to the protagonist", that is called aslandi guy.

"My Lord." Aslan immediately stood up and saluted, but spoke quickly: "outside the city, there is a wolf cavalry approaching!"

WOW!

On hearing this, all the generals in the room immediately stood up. More people put their hands directly on the sword around their waist.

Aslan then hastened to continue: "the other side's wolf cavalry has only 20 cavalry. After a careful look at the sentry, there is no other side's follow-up troops nearby, so it must be a lonely army. And... They don't seem to come to attack the city, they seem to be an emissary! "

"Why?" Dewey snorted.

"Yes, my Lord." Aslan stood up straight and said, "this group of wolf cavalry is accompanied by more than 300 human beings... It seems that they are our soldiers according to their clothes and appearance. It could be a prisoner of war! "

On the 15th day after the fall of the eastern fortress, finally, in the morning, the Griffin knights in the sky sent back the news that there was a team of wolf cavalry. Holding high the imperial flag, they went all the way south from the occupied fortress. There were only 20 wolf riders, accompanied by about 300 human soldiers.

And they're on the Griffin Knight's watch. All the way to Yajin city. He claimed to have sent a personal letter from the criminal commander to the commander of the human army in Yajin city!

When this group of wolf cavalry came to the bottom of the city, the human garrison on the city immediately alerted. The soldiers grasped their weapons and stood on the wall, nervously looking at the enemies not far below the city.

But this group of wolf cavalry stopped about 200 steps away from the city, and did not move forward. Twenty wolf cavalry stopped in the distance, and the werewolves with spears were riding on the giant wolf. Holding a long knife, he looked at the human soldiers in the city with cold eyes.

Dewey himself took the men to the city. Then, the wolf cavalry were in different places, and the 300 human prisoners of war with them began to march slowly towards the city gate.

The three hundred people who accompanied them were all soldiers, which can be seen from the way they walked in formation.

Less than half of these people were injured, so they had no armor or weapons. They are all simple cotton padded robes. Everyone is dejected and depressed.

What surprised Dewey even more was that. Among the 300 captives brought by the wolf cavalry, the one who walked in the front was a man he knew!

Rohart!

When rohart returned to the city with the other prisoners, the rest of the prisoners were immediately taken away by the soldiers in the city. And rohart met Dewey, he personally handed a letter to Dewey.

"You're not dead?" Dewey took the letter and did not immediately watch, but carefully looked at the Rowling boy he had met, with a trace of joy on his face.

Then he went up and hugged the young man, patted him on the shoulder and said with a loud smile, "rohart! Ha ha, I remember you boy! You're not dead! Excellent! Do you know, when I thought you were dead, they cried a lot“

Lockhart stepped back and looked at Dewey. His expression was very excited, but then his eyes were gloomy: "thank you for your love, my lord... Please accept this letter, and then... I'll return it and tell the Elven King your reply."

"What? Are you going back? " Dewey frowned, his eyes puzzled: "since you're back, you don't have to go back! You are the future star of Decepticon. Last time I thought you were dead in the front line, Zig, they blamed themselves deeply. I am also very sad! Now that you are back, how can you... "

"My Lord." Lockhart gave a wry smile. He suddenly knelt down on one knee, looked up at Dewey, and said solemnly, "my Lord, please believe that my loyalty has never wavered!! However, the Elven King seems to know you very well and is familiar with you. This time it asked me to come back to deliver the letter because the wolf cavalry didn't speak our human language. I'm in the enemy camp these days. I learned their language, so I was sent to translate... And Luoxue asked me to go back... Because there were two thousand prisoners of war in the front fortress. The snow said, "if I don't go back..."

There was a haze in Lockhart's eyes.

"You mean, Luoxue sent you back to deliver the letter, if you don't... He threatened you with the lives of the remaining 2000 prisoners of war?"

Lockhart nodded heavily.

Dewey was silent. He looked at the boy in front of him. These days passed in the enemy camp. Rohart looked much more mature and steady than the warm-blooded boy in the northwest military camp. The original face of the young people's unique blood, has gradually become a mature man's perseverance.

"Why?" Dewey whispered, "why does it value you so much?"

"I don't know." Rohart shook his head: "I've been snowing all these days, and I feel that... It seems totally different to me and other prisoners of war. I can't think of any special value for it myself. I'm just a junior officer, and I don't have much valuable information here. "

Dewey frowned, something strange.

"This is not a place to talk." Dewey took Lockhart back to the city. Rohart followed Dewey all the way without saying a word, surrounded by Dewey's entourage, looking at the "prisoner of war" with strange eyes. And rohart walked on, clenching his fists. There seems to be a trace of shame on his face.

"You don't have to feel guilty." Du Wei suddenly looked back at the young man. Wen said, "it's not your fault to be captured by the enemy! As a soldier, you have done all your duty! You fight bravely. It's not a shame to cover the safe retreat and be captured after the fierce battle! Lockhart, it's not a shame to be captured. You don't have to bow your head. "

"But... I should have killed myself..." Lockhart burst into tears.

"That's stupid." Dewey shook his head: "on the battlefield, all kinds of unpredictable things would have happened. Is it necessary to commit suicide to show loyalty? That's a foolish idea

After a pause, Dewey suddenly gave a wry smile: "besides... Although I don't know why, that snowfall valued you so much. If it doesn't want you to die, with its ability, you are in its hands, and you can't die if you want to, I understand. "

With these words, the depression in Lockhart's heart was slightly relieved. Dewey led him back to the house, set aside his entourage, and talked to him alone for a while.

Lockhart immediately explained how he had been captured. And then after being captured. Has been imprisoned in the fairy King snow side, these days happened. They all said it carefully. He did not hide the slightest bit, even the snow to his special treatment is also outspoken, also do not worry about these words will cause Duwei's suspicion.

Finally, speaking of the fall of the eastern fortress, Lockhart said: "from the loss of the river to the fall of the fortress, the whole battle plan was under the command of the spirit king Luoxue. During the first battle on the river that day, they deliberately put on the posture of crossing the river to attract our warships to the river. Then they attacked underwater with the orcs of the hippopotamus, annihilated the strength of our warships on the water at one stroke, and cleared the biggest obstacle to crossing the river... "

At the end of the speech, rohart shed tears again: "my Lord, when I am in the enemy's camp, I often see those compatriots who died in battle, but I live... I feel guilty all the time!"

Dewey asked again for a while. When rohart talked about the process of commanding the battle and the changes on the battlefield, the young man was clear, orderly, bit by bit, and had a clear mind.

Du Wei was surprised and tried to test him several times. However, he found that this young and hot-blooded young man seemed to be a different person after he followed Luoxue in the enemy camp for a few months. He seemed to have some hollows in his heart. When talking about the war situation, he talked with great enthusiasm. His speech and vision were far higher than before!

"You... Have learned a lot these days in the snow." Dewey sighed suddenly.

"Yes... Quite a lot." Rohart lowered his head: "the spirit king did not know why. He was very kind to me. He even took the initiative to discuss a lot of problems with me. I often thought about it afterwards, as if he was deliberately instilling these knowledge into me. Even... It often discusses history books with me. "

Dewey was silent. After a while, he just managed to smile. Looking at rohart: "well, you don't have to worry. I don't doubt you. It's just that I can't figure out what Luoxue is doing. "

"My Lord." Rohart's eyes were red: "I was in the enemy camp, and I thought, either I could die, or... I wanted to come back one day. But now... "

When rohart said this, he suddenly choked.

Dewey patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "I know how you feel. Finally came back. Back to my own side, but in a twinkling of an eye, I have to go back to the land of tiger and Wolf and get along with the enemy chieftains day and night. I can understand the pain in your heart if you can't come back to reunite with your brothers and relatives. "

After a pause, Dewey sighed and looked at Lockhart's young face: "when you... Thought you were killed. Someone has been sent to your house. Your parents are in good health, and so are your brothers and sisters. Although I'm sad for you, since your family has been from Luolin for generations, it's natural for someone to look after you. I made arrangements later. One of your sisters was assigned to work in the castle of Lorraine. They will also be taken care of in the future. "

Rohart wiped his tears hard, then took a deep breath. There was a flash in his eyes, and he said: "thank you, my Lord! however. Time is pressing, not to mention my family's affairs... My Lord, before I came, Luoxue had something to say. Please read the letter it wrote immediately, and then ask me to take your reply back together. I have to go back before sunset tomorrow, otherwise... "

Dewey nodded. He opened the letter of falling snow and read it.

When I opened the letter paper, I saw that the words on the letter paper were very beautiful. I didn't expect that Luoxue, an elf family, could write very beautiful words from the Loran continent. Moreover, its writing style was also very gorgeous.

The handwriting is delicate and beautiful, one line at a time. I can't say it's beautiful. But this is not the only one. Duvito lamented that he did not write as much as he did on weekdays. The only thing that looks better is his signature, because he is a high official after all, and there are many documents that need his signature on weekdays.

And look carefully, the content of this letter, but impressively as follows!

"Letter to duverolin Rudolph, Duke of tulip! I have been hunting Northwest with you for more than four years. I'm in the cold and bitter place in the extreme north. I'm fascinated by you every time I think about you from afar. Looking back on the past, you and I talked about the past and the present, and argued about the world's major events. We traveled alone in the northwest, with thousands of miles of yellow sand, green grasslands, and lovely snow mountains. We can see everything clearly and happily! I'm sorry that you and I are enemies today, and we are no longer interested in sitting and talking that day! May I remember that you and I had an appointment in the past, your words, and my ambition. Today, I have led hundreds of thousands of troops. Once upon a time, I went down to the south. I am sincere about my ambition in the past. I sigh that Roland's style is the same as before, but my old friend is no longer there. I was very glad to hear that you came to the North yesterday. Although I can't talk about it any more, I'm so happy to be able to lead a hunting expedition with you! This time, you and I have become fire and water. However, I also have the feeling of the past and want to do a stupid thing. I am writing to invite you to meet me. Although we can't help but see each other on the battlefield, if we can get together first and then draw our swords to meet each other, this hero will do well! If you are interested, I sincerely invite you! I know that your mind is magnanimous. In the past, you were so bold that you would not laugh at me for being a child! My heart is long and my words are full of books! If you are so gracious, you will not make me look at the moon! If you are willing to invite me, I will not hurt you. If you are in doubt, please smile and set the book on fire. The word "falling snow" The writing was elegant and elegant, and it was over here. But after reading it, Dewey stayed for a while. After a while, he read the letter again. After reading the letter, Lockhart saw that Dewey was not happy or angry, but he had a strange smile... Finally, Dewey put down the letter, patted it on the table, and then laughed with emotion“ ha-ha! Ha! What a snowfall! What a fairy king However, Du wei'ang's eyes flashed: "at this time, he invited me to an appointment! If someone wrote such a letter, I would think that the other person was crazy... But it... Hum, it's mostly the only one who can write such a thing! " After that, he stood up and walked around the room for two times. As soon as Lockhart heard this, his face suddenly changed. Regardless of Dewey's reaction, he quickly went up and picked up the letter and looked at it. His face suddenly changed: "my Lord! This letter says... You! You! You must not go! " Dewey was standing still, sneering, "why don't you go. If I don't go, won't I be despised by this guy? Humming... "As he said this, Dewey took a worried look at Lockhart:" don't worry, I won't be in danger. This fairy King... This falling snow... Hehe
