(The second chapter is completed today!)

On the city gate, Du Wei supported the city wall with his hands, and looked at the place not far below the city. The 20,000 cavalrymen of the Northwest Army were showing off their might, and the flags were all over the sky, full of murderous aura. But the hand was squeezed tighter and tighter, and a spark flashed faintly in his eyes!

This is provocation! Naked provocation! !

Du Wei is no longer a military idiot. He came to the Northwest to start from scratch. At least he has some understanding of the army under his command. Not to mention, he also has an understanding of the formation of the army.

When he took a look, how could he not see that the other party was blatantly posing as a naked attack?

"Dardanelle." Du Wei suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Dardanelle stood behind Du Wei. As the city guard of Loulan City, Dardanelle commanded the defenders of Loulan City. This former warrior of the Liszt family, facing the Northwest Army under the city, was also showing anger on his face. Hearing Du Wei's call, he whispered: "My lord.  "

"Let's show the flag! See what they want to do. " Du Wei sneered.

Not long after, the semaphore came back and forth, and the people below reported: "My lord, the other party told us that they asked us to open the city gate and give up a city wall. They need to use the city defense to perform offensive and defensive battles..."

The person who reported was a deputy commander of Dardanelle's. Before he finished speaking, he saw Du Wei's face was livid, and he spoke to the back.  I didn't feel my voice lowered.

Du Wei sneered twice: "Give up a city wall? For them to act offensively and defensively? Good! Good! Do they want to take this opportunity to tear down one of my city walls? The Northwest Army... What a Northwest Army!"

"My lord... how should we answer?" the deputy commander asked in a low voice.

Du Wei was expressionless, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, just put a banner and tell them: don't let it go!"

After finishing speaking, Du Wei left his entourage and walked into the tower on the city wall.

Northwest Army, do you really think I'm an easy bully?

Du Wei sneered.

Before asking for money and food, I always had the mentality of spending money to buy peace.  Temporarily endured. All the money and food have been given... These bastards are still playing tricks on me behind my back! That time in Niuli town. Didn’t the Northwest Army secretly let in those thousands of cavalrymen on the prairie?

To test Lao Tzu's bottom line? Then I'll show you what a "bottom line" is!

Walking into the tower, the small rooms in the tower seemed extremely quiet. Du Wei was not modest, so he sat in the middle, and then glanced at Dardanelle: "Dartaniel, how many soldiers are there in our city now?"

"An infantry regiment with 4,000 soldiers... Is it combat strength? Loulan City is our capital.   Half of the 4,000 infantry regiments are members of the royal guards that you conquered in Daer City.   Combat strength On the one hand, it shouldn’t be bad! As for the cavalry, General Longbottom led a cavalry regiment, but the establishment has not been full, more than 2,000 people.   And..." Dardanelle seemed to see the anger in Du Wei's heart, and couldn't help it He whispered: "My lord, if you really want to fight... a siege battle. Cavalry can't play a big role. Besides, the opponent's cavalry is too large. If it is a field battle, no matter how strong the warriors under General Longbottom are, , 2,000 people go out, and they are just to be eaten..."

This word comes out. Although there is some disrespect for Longbottom, this 250th General is not unreasonable. He has not spoken in the room, but now he whispered: "The Northwest Army's combat power is not bad, and the cavalry is also very good at fighting... It's a pity that we have few people. If I have two thousand more people, I will take people out to rush for a while now. It is not impossible to win for a while while they are not stable. Those guys are showing off their force. Merced all the way. Horsepower consumption, it looks terrible. Now it’s just a show...My lord, if you want to fight, it’s now, otherwise, it will be difficult to fight after they have enough horsepower. ”

Du Wei suddenly smiled, and looked at Longbottom: "My general... I'm just asking, who said that we must fight? After all, they are also the army of the empire. I think they are threatening us, and they cannot fight. You want to embarrass me, and try my bottom line by the way. ”

Longbottom grinned: "Naturally...but the Northwest Army has invested heavily this time, and the 20,000 cavalry, I think, should be the elite of the Northwest Army...they were sent to us for no reason. , there must be a purpose!"...

At this time, suddenly beside Du Wei, Philip, Du Wei's current chief staff member, spoke.

After more than a year of baptism in government affairs, this young man's temperament has become more and more calm. The originally handsome face has washed away the original simplicity, revealing a bit of femininity. He gently reminded: " My lord, I have thought of a possibility. ”

"speak!"

"I heard that General Lu Gao of the Northwest Legion is one of the loyal admirers of the Marquise Liszt... A few days ago, the relationship between the Northwest Legion and us was not bad, but just after your coming-of-age ceremony, my lord , their attitude towards us has undergone a subtle change. ”

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was silenced.  After all, Du Wei's personal affairs were involved, no matter how much the generals under his command joked with Du Wei on weekdays, they couldn't make a sound at this moment.

Du Wei narrowed his eyes, and then sighed: "Philip, what you said makes sense.   Hehe... Marquise Liszt, you have caused me a lot of trouble!"

"This is just one of them." Philip rolled up his sleeves, bowed his body slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, although I have different military strategies, I can also see that the opponent's army is faintly besieging the city. I'm worried...they won't really fight.   After all, the Northwest Army hasn't made up their minds to rebel against the empire.   But... besieging our capital for a period of time will give us a big embarrassment, but it is not impossible! Moreover, in the future Spread the word...my lord, your capital city. Besieged by the Northwest Army for ten days and eight days, but you can't leave the city, just shrink your head and let the other party show off your power at the door...then, your dignity will be greatly damaged! "

After saying this, Dardanelle suddenly said angrily: "Philip! Who are you calling a coward! As an aide, you don't respect the officer. How dare you insult the Duke!"

Du Wei waved his hand: "Dardanelle, Philip just made a metaphor.   But what he said makes sense.   The Northwest Army will not really fight, but it has been besieging the city for a few days, blocking our door and preventing us from entering and leaving. , If this spreads out, I will lose face!" He paused for a moment, then looked at Philip: "You are very good, and Dardanelles is not targeting you either.   Neither of you need to take it to heart. "

Philip's face was calm and calm, he took a step back, bowed and said: "Yes.  "

※#8226;

It took a full hour for Du Wei to reject the Northwest Army's request and sent out the banner. The Northwest Army did not make any further excessive moves, but a few thousand-man teams were divided into patrols, and the siege posture was not serious. covered up.

Although the opponent didn't really attack directly, it was the side of Tulip's family on the city wall.  And no slack!

Everyone rationally believes that although the Northwest Army is arrogant, it should not do things that openly rebel: After all, the Northwest Army has been fairly peaceful for so many years, and now there is no reason to turn their faces for no reason.  Also, from the timing point of view, it is not a good opportunity for rebellion.

However, after all, the opponent, Chen Bing, was under the city.  Twenty thousand cavalry are right in front of you! This kind of thing is always uncertain.

Time passed by every minute and every second. On the city wall, the soldiers of Tulip's family were in full battle. Dardanelle was fully armed with armor and led his own soldiers and officers to patrol back and forth. Longbottom also went to rectify the cavalry in the city to be safe. Prepare. Only Du Wei simply asked someone to move a chair and sit on the city gate.  Legs crossed. Looking coldly at the northwest cavalry not far from the city.

The iron cavalry of the Northwest Legion really lived up to their reputation, and the cavalry lineup of 20,000 people was rigorous. Listed under the city, there is no sign of slack in the slightest. Just quietly maintaining the horsepower, confronting the city.

And when the sun was a bit westward, Lao Yan's expression behind Du Wei suddenly changed slightly. Looking at Du Wei again, he stood up from his chair with a frown, leaned on the city wall with both hands, and looked into the distance...

On the horizon, a faint black line appeared, and then it turned into a continuous, dark cloud! Accompanying it was a sound of "rustle" and "rustle"! Armors collide, military boots smack! Shields are like walls, swords are like forests!

A total of five infantry regiments, more than 20,000 infantry, marched towards Loulan City!

The giant shield soldiers are in front, the pikemen are behind, and behind them are all elite northwest infantry.  And there are a few archers from the thousand-man team behind them, all dressed in light clothes, with a longbow of the imperial military standard on their backs...

As the saying goes, if there are more than ten thousand people, the sky will be covered by the sun! These new arrivals of more than 20,000 infantry came from afar, but still have a strong lineup. Judging from their temperament, they are actually the elite of several divisions directly under General Lu Gao, the head of the Northwest Army!

Seeing the arrival of a large number of infantry from the Northwest Army, the Northwest cavalry guarding the city immediately cheered loudly. Countless cavalry raised their lances high, and the voices of twenty thousand shouted long live.

Those infantry targets slowly came to the city, and then fell into silence!

At this moment, a suffocating scene was formed above and below the city. There was no human voice in the air, only the breathless silence!

At this moment, the formation of the Northwest Army suddenly parted, revealing a row of archers behind them. These archers took off their longbows and lined up in a densely covered salvo. They stretched out their bows and set up their arrows, but the arrows aimed at Loulan City!

The defenders of the Tulip family on the city immediately changed their colors, and under the command of the chief of the city, everyone took up their shields.

Only Du Wei was still supporting the wall and sneering.

Sure enough, these archers then lowered their arrows and did not aim at the city. After lowering the arrows, after a round of volleys, the rain of arrows was like locusts, and they shot densely under the wall of Loulan City for about 20 minutes. The distance of meters! But on the open space, the ground was covered with dense arrows! !

Afterwards, the infantry of the Northwest Army below the city, as if on purpose, laughed loudly. This unscrupulous laughter made the defenders of the Tulip family on the city. Everyone was furious after hearing this.

These defenders used to be the defenders of the imperial capital with their eyes above the top. To become the defenders of a country's capital, they are naturally elite! Although in the end they were all being punished and rebels, but the pride in their hearts could not tolerate the domineering Northwest Army in front of them! In their hearts, they still feel faintly: Lao Tzu is the Central Army. These guys are nothing but the local army!

After a volley, the archers retreated. Leave a forest of arrows under the city. Then the infantry of the Northwest Army split out a 1,000-man team of engineers, and started working unscrupulously under the eyes of the Tulip family defenders in the city, digging fortifications, cutting down trees, setting up tents, and erecting fences.  Actually set up camp here!

At this time, the Northwest Army called a semaphore that made people angry!

The deputy commander under Dardanelle got the semaphore from the other party, his face flushed, and he seemed a little afraid to speak in front of Du Wei.

"Go ahead." Du Wei waved his hand.

The deputy commander took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said: "My lord, they said..." His voice seemed hoarse with a hint of anger in his voice: "They said... Your Excellency, the Duke, is a clear lesson. Here is the Third Cavalry Division of the Northwest Army, The Fifth Infantry Division conducted actual combat exercises under Loulan City. Based on this order, from now on, the area covered by the anti-Northwest Army's bows and arrows will be a restricted area during wartime.  No one, including local politicians in the empire, may disobey the military order, Entering the restricted area, those who violate the order, in terms of the imperial military order, the Northwest Army has the right to kill on the spot——Northwest Army Command. ”

After hearing this, Du Wei smiled instead of anger, looked up to the sky and laughed, and pointed to the arrow forest pierced on the ground below the city.  laughed and said: "What they mean.   That is, these arrows are within the restricted area... Let us stay in the city obediently.   Otherwise, as long as we leave the city, we will break into the restricted area, and we can kill people freely, right?"

"...Yes, my lord. " The deputy commander's face was about to ooze blood, and he couldn't help but shouted: "My lord duke! When have we ever suffered from such uselessness! What kind of thing is the Northwest Army? Let's come up here...My lord, if you give me an order, I will lead people out to kill!!"

Du Wei smiled, patted the officer's shoulder, and said softly: "No rush, no hurry, they have military orders, so I have no countermeasures? Hmph... and playing the card of wartime regulations, I can't Eat this set. ”

After a pause, Du Wei smiled and said: "Okay, let's pass the order. Everyone will strictly guard their posts and not leave without authorization... Close the gates of the city, and no one can enter or leave.   Aren't they going to set up a restricted area? Let's stay in the city." Now, let them toss around outside the city.  Hmph, 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, so 40,000 people eat and drink... don't you want to besiege the city? Let them besiege!"

After Du Wei finished speaking, he waved his hand and let the officer go down.

Others didn't understand what the Lord Duke meant... Could it be that he just endured it like this? …

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

The twenty-eight students all came to the top of the city according to Du Wei's request. Du Wei suddenly smiled and said, "Among you, I'm afraid there aren't any people who know the flying technique of the wind system? Quite a few words."

The students all looked at each other in blank dismay. Indeed, with their current level, the flying technique of the wind element could not be used yet.

Du Wei thought for a while: "Well, then all of you immediately put on magician robes... stand on the city gate for me, stand against the wall, and stand as eye-catching as possible! The more eye-catching the better!"

Then Du Wei invited the leader of the team who brought these magic students to the Northwest for internship: two disciples of Master Aric.

These two are decent seventh-level magicians.

Du Wei called Vivian again.

"In a while, you don't need to do anything else, just use the flying technique and fly to the mid-air above the tower, that's all right..." Du Wei said with a smile: "Uh, two mages, if possible, I hope you can help me a little bit. , to cast a little magic, don’t need to be too exaggerated, and don’t need any offensive magic, just a little wind element, or light technique, anyway, the effect should be more gorgeous and eye-catching. ”

The two disciples of Master Arico both had a good relationship with Du Wei and agreed.

"Vivienne. " Du Wei glanced at the little silly girl: "Would you make some magic that looks dazzling but doesn't actually have much practical effect? ​​For example, a magic circle, or some kind of light ball, I It is used to scare people. ”

Vivienne seemed to understand, and nodded: "I... I know a blessing technique of the light department. The range covered by the blessing technique can double the courage of our people and increase the fighting spirit, is that okay?"

Du Wei smiled: "Very good!"

Afterwards, Du Wei gave an order, and three figures gradually rose above the top of the city!

Vivienne is in the middle, and the two disciples of Master Ali Ke are on both sides!

The three of them floated gently into the air under the gaze of tens of thousands of Northwest Army troops below the city! The disciples of Mage Aili Ke on both sides are all wearing gray mage robes, so that's all.

But Vivian among them is a genuine white-robed mage! That white robe is a symbol of power and majesty!

Vivienne flew in mid-air, shaking her hands lightly, slowly drew a circle in mid-air, and chanted a spell clearly in her mouth. Soon, above her head, a golden hexagram pattern flashed in mid-air! Countless golden light spots fell like raindrops and landed on the top of the city! The light of the hexagram became brighter and brighter, and finally almost covered the entire city wall below!

The disciples of Master Aili Ke on both sides, how could they not know the opportunity? Hurry up and use their mana to fully cooperate with Vivienne's actions.

Such a huge blessing technique, how gorgeous and gorgeous it must be! And in the light of magic, the majestic sound of the two gray-clothed mages chanting incantations, using magic, transmitted word by word clearly into the distance...

In addition, on the city wall, there was a whole row of magic students in long robes standing impressively... At first glance, this posture is really intimidating!

The general of the Northwest Army below saw it in his eyes and couldn't help being surprised!

So many magicians?

The three flying in the sky don't count, why is there a row standing on the city wall? Damn it...one, two, three...damn! Why so many! !

At this time, Du Wei had already personally pulled over a soldier who was in charge of displaying the banner, and said gently: "I have something to convey to the other side, but the meaning is a bit complicated, I don't know if I can use the banner language to make it clear. "

The soldier looked at the Duke and said excitedly, "My lord, it's all right!"

"Okay! Let me say, you fight!" Du Wei's face became serious.

"A lesson from the generals of the Northwest Army: Here are Roland Continental 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 provisions of the Imperial Code of Magicians, approved by the Lord Duke of the Northwest, the special order is as follows: From the time this order is delivered, three hours later, within ten miles of Loulan City, we will try our best to test large-scale magic weapons! Magic is a spell of mass destruction. During the experiment, anyone, etc., please stay away! If you don’t do anything, anyone who is covered by my magic and suffers any damage, according to the special provisions of the Imperial Code of Magic, the Society of Magic will not be responsible for any damages. responsibility!!"

The semaphore was sent out, and the Northwest Army was shocked!

Large-scale magic weapon experiment? what is this?

It sounds like something very dangerous!

Looking at the three magicians floating in the sky, and the long row standing on the city wall, I couldn't help but sweat!

Du Wei stood on the wall, sneering in his heart: Northwest Army, Northwest Army, do you want to test my bottom line? I'm afraid you can't afford it! Hmph, if you can try me, can't I try you! Let's see if you have the courage to really turn your face and rebel now!
