Law of the Devil

No matter how hard Guhuatuoluo tried, no matter how strong his ability and experience in leading troops, morale would inevitably collapse gradually.

Most importantly, he is not the real commander of the Northwest Army. If Lu Gao was here, he might be able to get the soldiers' allegiance to the death by virtue of his status as the leader of the Northwest Army and his kindness and power over the years. But Guhuaduoluo didn't have this ability - he was just a general. In the Northwest Army, he didn't dare to bribe the army, otherwise, wouldn't he be suspected by Lu Gao? Therefore, the soldiers would not die for him, and his own direct troops turned out to be cavalry, and they were taken away by Lu Gao long ago.

The rewards of wine and meat are also good, and the temptation of getting promoted and getting rich is also good. This method may be effective once or twice, but if it is used too much, it will be useless. is not that right? Although most soldiers are uneducated and rough, they are not fools after all. You get a small reward every two days, and a big reward every three days, which personally feels weird. And surrounded by the enemy, the expected "General Lu Gao's return to the army" is always the moon in the water, but you, the leader of the army, only know the money and official position to coax us... Damn, really think we are Fool.

On the night of the tenth day, Guhuaduoluo got the news, which made him sleepless all night.

Deserters appear! !

Many people had doubts about the current situation. On that night, a small group of soldiers patrolled and ran away. After the other night watchmen found out, they immediately released arrows, shot and killed more than a dozen people on the spot, captured three of them, but two or three escaped.

This incident made Guhuaduoluo feel chills in his heart. He was even a little absent-minded when dealing with these deserters, he just said the word "kill" casually, and went back alone.

At night, Guhuaduoluo thought carefully for a long time. Finally made up my mind: stop procrastinating! Tomorrow, no matter what, the whole army will fight and take the initiative to attack! Now fight a big battle immediately, at least it can cause some damage to the enemy. Let them lose some combat power. If you wait a few more minutes. I am afraid that my Northwest Army will not have much combat power left.

Unfortunately, when the sky was just getting bright, Guhuaduoluo came out of the tent and delivered an order for everyone to prepare for dinner. Launch an attack at noon... This order was only conveyed for less than an hour before Du Wei shot again.

But this time, Du Wei's blow to Guhuaduoluo was truly fatal!

When the sun was just rising, there was a whistling sound of piercing the air in the Tulip family's fortress in the distance, and then amidst the surprised eyes and exclamations of many soldiers in the Northwest Army camp, there was a sound in the sky. Dozens of things were thrown over the face.

Hulahula one piece. It hit a place about 100 meters outside the Northwest Army camp.

"Tabuche!!! Everyone separate and find a place to cover!!!" Experienced officers and veterans immediately shouted at the top of their voices. Then there was a whoosh, and all the soldiers in the barracks who heard their shouts immediately dispersed.

But then the yelling person felt his ass was kicked hard. He fell a bit. When he turned around and was about to scold, he saw his commander, Guhuatuoluo, with a "resentful" expression on his face. He said bitterly: "Are you out of your mind? Even if it is a trebuchet, can the trebuchet in the city hit our camp? You are an idiot, aren't you!!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Huaduo immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Send a hundred people out! Bring those things back to me!"

Soon, a hundred soldiers rushed out, ran to the battlefield, and brought back the piece of thing thrown out by the catapult in the city. But when he saw these things, Guhuaduoluo was dumbfounded! !

armor!

All are armors! There are scratches, blood stains on it, and many are even broken... But the problem is that these armors are all in the style of cavalry of the Northwest Army! The 70,000 cavalry that Lord Lu Gao took away were all wearing this kind of armor! !

What is Du Wei trying to do by throwing these things out? want to mess with my army

Made me think that Master Lu Gao's westward cavalry was finished?

Some officers under his command saw these things, and some people exclaimed loudly: "Ah! It's the cavalry armor of our Northwest Army! Brothers... Could it be that the brothers who marched west have already..."

thump!

Before he finished speaking, Guhuaduoluo kicked the officer in the heart and scolded: "You are also a pig's brain, aren't you? The 70,000 cavalry brought by General Lu Gao!! Now the troops of the Tulip family are all killed by us. I'm staring at the city! How could General Lu Gao fail! To defeat 70,000 cavalry, does Du Wei have so many troops?! Stupid!"

He said this out loud on purpose, and many soldiers and officers who heard it around him nodded their heads.

Yes, to defeat 70,000 elite cavalry, the opponent must have at least this number of elite cavalry! Although Duke Tulip claims to have 100,000 coalition troops (Tulip family and Luo Lin family), most of them are new troops after all, and there are definitely not as many as 70,000 cavalry! It is impossible to defeat the iron hooves led by our General Lu Gao.

right! These armors must have been forged by the other party to mess with our army's morale! It must be so!

"Hahaha! Du Wei, you are too naive. You forged dozens of sets of broken armor, and you just want to deceive my army!!" Guhuaduoluo deliberately laughed.

But then, he couldn't really laugh anymore.

Dozens of armor sets can be forged...how about hundreds? How many sets?

not enough? So what about a few hundred more prisoners of war? ? Almost all the stone machines did not stop, and for more than an hour, an unknown number of armor stripped from the prisoners of war were thrown out. Du Wei felt that it was not enough. With a big wave of his hand, the city gate opened, and 500 cavalrymen of the Tulip family rushed out on horseback, swept across the battlefield quickly, threw the armor on the ground on the back of the horse, and then turned around and ran away. went back.

For a while, on the battlefield in the middle. There are at least a thousand pairs of armor placed! !

Gu Huaduo couldn't laugh anymore, he couldn't even say a word! !

Even if Du Wei is crazy, he made thousands of armors...Could it be that Mr. Lu Gao has really lost? !

Fake! It must be fake! With Duke Tulip's wealth and cunning, it is not difficult to forge a thousand sets of armor... ! !

Guhuaduoluo still wanted to convince himself so. But then the city gate opened again. More than a hundred soldiers of the Tulip family ran out from the inside, and then ran out of the city holding hundreds of dejected prisoners of war with their swords. of. Each of these captives had a rope tied in their hands. They were driven out as if pulling a bunch of candied haws. The soldiers of the Tulip family behind, under the threat of swords, ran towards the Northwest Army camp from under the city. .

While running, they were still shouting, for fear that someone would shoot an arrow.

Guhuaduoluo's face was pale, and he finally collapsed in his heart at this moment, looking at the hundreds of people running over the battlefield. There was a trace of viciousness in his heart, and he was about to order all the archers to shoot to death. But looking back, there are many officers, generals and soldiers behind. They all looked desperate and pale. Guhuaduoluo knew, and now kill people to silence them. It is no longer possible.

He could only sigh, waved and ordered someone to go out to meet him.

"Bring these hundreds of people back, and then watch them carefully and send someone to guard them. Without my order, they are not allowed to contact others!" Guhuaduoluo sighed, he just gave such an order almost numbly , but even he himself knows that this order actually doesn't make much sense anymore.

At this moment, on the wall of the fortress in the distance, a flame tulip flag was raised. Du Wei climbed onto the wall in an armored uniform, then smiled slightly, took a deep breath, driven by a magic circle he cast, His words, word by word, clearly spread throughout the battlefield, and his voice echoed.

"Guhuaduoluo!!! The westward cavalry of your Northwest Army has already been defeated by me! The 70,000 army collapsed and fell from Lugao. They either died in battle or were captured!! Your Northwest Army is finished! You too Soldiers, don’t you cherish the lives of the soldiers! Now that you have no chance, why not surrender early, so that these soldiers have a way to survive!! In the name of Duke Tulip, I would like to assure everyone that those who surrender will not die!!”

At this moment, those hundreds of captives had already entered the camp of the Northwest Army. When Du Wei's words spread throughout the venue, thousands of Northwest Army soldiers flocked to the entrance of the camp. It's just that under Guhuaduoluo's order, his trusted soldiers shouted around with weapons, and no one was allowed to approach these prisoners of war, and these prisoners of war were not allowed to speak, so they were escorted to the back.

At this moment, there was a lot of enthusiasm in the barracks, and thousands of people flocked to Guhuaduoluo's big tent to seek evidence. Guhuaduoluo ordered to suppress them. Under the strict military law, those soldiers were gradually dispersed... But Even the law enforcement soldiers did not dare to look at the faces of those colleagues.

In everyone's heart, they have already believed the content of Duke Tulip's words.

General Lu Gao, is he really defeated? ! 70,000 cavalry, collapsed? !

That night, there was another desertion incident among the Northwest Army, but this time, Guhuaduoluo was too lazy to deal with it. He knew that the matter was irreversible.

Morale has dropped to the lowest point. When counting the number of people the next day, there were actually more than a thousand people missing. When Guhuaduoluo was patrolling, he could feel the faint anger in the eyes of those soldiers shooting at him , and many others are numb.

But on this day, Du Wei and the imperial army still did not attack.

Guhuaduoluo has already understood that Du Wei is completely playing the tactics of attacking the heart. The main cavalry marching westward has completely failed. This news has spread throughout his barracks. . Du Wei is not in a hurry to fight now, this guy probably doesn't even want to fight! As long as you wait two more days, your army will collapse and mutiny.

That's it, that's it! Du Wei hadn't fought with him for the past few days, which meant delaying time and disintegrating the fighting spirit and morale of his soldiers! ! Really not offensive? Looking at Du Wei's unmoving look, Robert couldn't help saying: "Those armors and prisoners of war have been thrown out for two days!" The opponent's morale has collapsed, and now as long as we go out of the city to fight, they will collapse immediately. Such a good opportunity...why do you..."

Du Wei sighed, shook his head, and said nothing.

Next to him, 250th General Longbottom also frowned and said, "I said, boss, what is there to wait for now? Looking at the appearance of these Northwest Army, as long as I take two or three thousand cavalry out and charge for a while, I can kill them all in one fell swoop." !"

Du Wei looked at the two hundred and five generals, and said with a smile: "Longbottom, Longbottom, you suffered from not being able to understand the rules of the officialdom. Now it seems that you haven't learned how to be smart."

Du Wei stood up, pointed to the distance, and said with a smile: "Look, the Stormtroopers, Royal City Guards, and Governor Bohan's army are all outside now! There are nearly 100,000 people in total. Since the war in the Northwest, we have killed Lu Gao’s main cavalry unit, and eaten up 70,000 of his elite cavalry in one bite. This is a huge contribution, and we can’t get rid of it! How many years has our empire not Were there a war? Now among the people outside the city... regardless of the generals and soldiers in that army, they are all counting on this final battle to get more credit!! It’s hard to say, we ate all the meat, Let others share the last bit of soup. Otherwise, I will eat it all alone, hehe... Aren't you afraid of offending others?"

Offend?

Du Wei's subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay... Since when did our lord Duke actually fear offending others? !

"Since we are fighting together, the ones we face are all friendly troops. We must give them some benefits. Otherwise, we will inevitably be hated by others, and if we secretly trip us up in the future, the gain will not be worth the loss. Besides... the last four people outside Fifty thousand infantrymen of the Northwest Army, if we take them down, what good will it do us?!"

When Du Wei asked, several people were silent. .
