Law of the Devil

After looking around carefully for a while, Du Wei simply burned all the corpses on the ground with a torch, then took out some magic potions, threw them into the fire, and suddenly a green flame burst out, killing the corpses. The wreckage was burnt to the point where not even a slag remained.

After removing all the footprints and traces left on the surrounding ground, Du Wei cast an invisibility method and took Sebasta back.

At this moment on the battlefield, neither side has the help of a magician, and it has become a pure struggle to consume soldiers' combat power. The royal guards are worthy of being the elite of the empire, and the morale of the Northwest Legion dropped again and again, and they could no longer resist.

The gate of the camp has been breached. Although the officers of the Northwest Army supervised the battle with all their strength and roared, and even killed some soldiers who were afraid of fighting on the spot, they still could not inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers. After entering the gate of the camp, they immediately formed a circle and firmly nailed it there. Afterwards, the royal guards came in continuously. The Northwest Army was unable to plug this gap, and the gap was still expanding rapidly.

Guhuaduoluo was desperate, he even rushed to the front line himself, took a team of his most loyal personal guards, and tried to snatch back the camp gate, but although he was desperate, most of the soldiers under him could not hold back. step back.

At this time, the generals of the Royal City Guards also sensed the opportunity, and immediately issued an order. Thousands of soldiers of the Royal City Guards shouted at the same time: "Surrender, don't die!! Surrender, don't die!!!"

The voice was neat and unified, and it was clearly transmitted throughout the battlefield. The soldiers of the Northwest Army, who had already lost their morale, heard this voice. How could they have any desperate thoughts? Immediately, hundreds of people knelt down, threw away their weapons, and knelt there with their heads in their arms.

Guhuaduoluo was annoyed when he saw it, but he rushed to a surrendered soldier kneeling on the ground beside him, and shouted: "Get up, dare to surrender before the battle. Cut!!"

As he said, he raised his sword and chopped off the soldier's head, and then he killed three or five surrendered Northwest Army soldiers, but at this time. No matter how hard he tries. Can't resist the momentum of surrender. Many of the Northwest Army who surrendered saw Guhuaduoluo's crazy appearance, but they all ran away in fright, and some even took up weapons and pointed at their former commander.

The few soldiers around Gu Huaduo saw that the situation was over. He rushed over quickly, grabbed Guhuaduoluo, dragged him and ran back.

At this time, the royal guards rushed to the Northwest Army camp, and the soldiers at the front of the Northwest Army surrendered one after another, while some people behind them were still resisting. Guhuaduoluo was dragged by several of his personal guards all the way to the barracks, and pulled to the camp behind. A personal guard had already brought a good horse over. Then several people knelt on the ground at the same time, begging bitterly: "General! We are at the end of the game. Please hurry up, there is still a chance now. Later, it will be too late!!"

Guhuaduoluo said proudly: "Stop talking, I am entrusted by the commander in chief. The only way to repay him is with death, I will not leave! If you want to die, you will die here!"

But several personal guards knelt on the ground, hugged his legs, prevented him from rushing forward, and dragged him desperately to get him on the horse. Although Guhuaduoluo was grateful for the loyalty of the personal guards, his heart hardened: " Don't talk too much! It's a man's, go up with me and kill a few more enemies!"

Several guards suddenly turned their hearts upside down, rushed forward, and snatched Guhuaduoluo's sword. One of them had already circled behind him, raised the hilt of the sword, and slammed Guhuaduoluo on the back of the head fiercely. Going up, Guhuaduoluo snorted, looked back at the guard, and then passed out. The guard carried Gu Huaduo onto the horse and tied him to the horse's back with a rope. He shouted: "I will find a way to take the adults out. Brothers, see you in the next life!"

After speaking, he turned over and jumped up, and ran out towards the back of the camp with his horse.

At this moment, the Northwest Army has completely collapsed, and the Wangcheng Guards have rushed into the camp, killing the Northwest Army everywhere, and there are shouts of killing everywhere. More and more Northwest Army have no hope, so they throw away Arms fell to his knees and surrendered.

The guards glanced at each other and shouted: "Brothers, it's time to serve the Lord!"

After finishing speaking, several people picked up their swords, shouted, and at the same time rushed towards a large number of royal guards coming from a distance... Around the camp of the Northern Army, the cavalry of the Storm Legion had already rushed over, but The cavalry commander who led the team ran around the camp and came to the main gate of the camp, but was almost pissed off.

"These bastard guards, what the hell is this fighting!!"

The anger of the Storm Legion is justified.

It stands to reason that the royal guards are infantry, and they are responsible for opening the gap in the opponent's camp, and then let the cavalry of the Storm Legion with the strongest impact rush in. As long as a large group of cavalry rush in, rush back and forth and penetrate once, it is enough Let the enemy army completely collapse.

However, the general of the Royal Guards seems to have made up his mind to take credit. Before the cavalry of the Storm Legion rushed in, he had already waved his hand, and the infantry of the Guards directly filled the barracks.

As a result, although the King City Guards pressed in wave after wave, defeating the Northwest Army steadily, they were blocked by people and blocked the gate of the camp, so that the cavalry of the Storm Legion outside could only stare blankly. , The commander of the cavalry was so angry that he cursed and roared, and made people blow the horn again and again.

At this moment, the general of the royal guards seemed to be deaf, and he didn't care about it. He kept urging his men to rush in, and let the cavalry wander around outside. This is already clearly an act of stealing credit. Think of this guy who stood still in the face of the defeat of Governor Bohan's army in the morning, and did not send troops to support him. Now he deliberately ignores the cavalry and blocks the entrance of the camp. ...

In the distance, Andre was riding on a horse, and he saw the situation on the battlefield clearly. He was so angry that he suddenly grabbed his helmet, smashed it on the ground, and cursed: "Bastard Guards!** What kind of bullshit is this beating! I want to sue you! Sue you for violating military orders! Sue me for delaying the military plane!! I will sue you for bankruptcy!!!”

The deputy next to him saw that his commander was so arrogant, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but then he heard Andre scold: "Send someone up and tell Ariane, is he an idiot! Someone blocked the camp gate. You Wouldn’t it be attacking from the side!!!”

The horse rushed up, and the cavalry commander in front of the charge, Ariane, heard the order, and couldn't help scolding in his heart: Attack from the side? Don't you see a trench! .

But he didn't dare to disobey his general's order. Seeing that the royal guards had rushed into the camp of the Northwest Army like a tide, he hesitated for a while. I'm afraid I don't even have soup. He could only take his men and horses around to the flanks, and ordered the cavalry in front to charge up first, and all the cavalry in the front row took off their helmets and threw them into the trench.

The helmets of hundreds of cavalry filled up a section of the trench, and finally someone rushed in and cut down the fence. Only then did they rush in, but among the chaotic army, seventy or eighty of the cavalry in front of the Storm Legion were shot dead by bows and arrows. Fortunately, the Northwest Army itself was in a mess inside, so it couldn't cause more damage to the Storm Legion.

The cavalry commander of the Storm Legion was half dead with anger. This kind of work of filling trenches was simply done by infantry! Precious cavalry, how can you do such a thing? What a waste of cavalry life! !

Finally, after dropping dozens of corpses. The cavalry of the Storm Legion also rushed into the camp of the Northwest Army, piercing in fiercely from the side.

so far. The last hope of the Northwest Army was completely ruined! It continued until the sun was about to set, and finally stopped intermittently. Large numbers of Northwest Army soldiers. They all dropped their weapons at last. Kneel on the ground and surrender. And at this time, another incident happened on the battlefield... those royal city guards. Unexpectedly, some red-eyed officers rushed up with their people, even those Northwest Army soldiers who had surrendered, and watched them kneeling on the ground, but still rushed over and cut off their heads with swords.

Such a crazy move, but on the contrary inspired the last fighting spirit of the Northwest Army-damn it! Surrender and kill? Since surrender is also death, why not fight it out! !

As a result, this incident formed a small commotion on the battlefield. Fortunately, the cavalry of the Storm Legion interspersed and charged back and forth, defeating this wave of resistance, and did not allow the Northwest Army to re-form resistance.

But this incident caused an uproar after the war! At this time, the battle is completely over. In the camp of the Northwest Army, there was no sound of shouting and killing. Groups of soldiers who surrendered threw away their weapons and armor, held their heads in their hands, and walked out of the camp in line, standing in line above the wilderness. , and they were closely supervised by the cavalry of the Storm Legion holding spears.

This is because the surrendering soldiers of the Northwest Army said that they did not trust the Royal Guards, who even killed prisoners of war. This behavior caused panic among them, so they expressed their willingness to surrender only to the Storm Legion.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Storm Legion, those guards of the royal city are simply a group of bastards who have gone crazy for their merits. After rushing into the camp, the first thing these guards did was to occupy the Northwest Army's ordnance logistics camp. Then a few teams were sent out to chop off heads everywhere.

If it wasn't for the killing of prisoners caused by them, I'm afraid the battle should have ended an hour earlier.

After the war, these Wang Cheng's guards didn't even clean up the battlefield. Bohan's people are responsible for cleaning the battlefield and moving the corpses. And these soldiers of the imperial guards carried the severed head and retreated without paying attention. He also grandly evacuated the "captured" Northwest Army's ordnance logistics camp!

Carts of ordnance and supplies were all moved to the camp of the Royal Guards. General Andre and Governor Bohan, who learned the news, knew it too late, and both of them were half dead with anger.

On the battlefield, nearly 18,000 of the nearly 50,000 Northwest Army died in battle, and the rest surrendered.

General Andre of the Storm Legion immediately sent a letter to the camp of the Royal Guards, severely criticizing the actions of the generals of the Guards. Governor Bohan was also dissatisfied. Afterwards, the two of them left the headquarters to clean up the battlefield, count the casualties, etc., and then took the men and went into the city to meet Du Wei.

After all, here, in terms of rank, Du Wei's position and rank are both the highest, and both of them count on it. Only Du Wei can give them justice.

In this battle, Du Wei ran out to chase Sebasta in the middle of the battle. When he came back, the battle was almost over. Du Wei quietly locked Sebasta in his own residence in the city, and then went back to the city wall to watch the battle. at his command. He ordered nearly 20,000 recruits to go to the city wall. Watch this fight.

Watching such a fierce and intense battle at such a close distance can also make these recruits feel the cruelty and bloodiness of the war most clearly, so that they can experience the atmosphere of the war.

Of course, Du Wei also saw clearly the behavior of the imperial guards' stealing credit, and he also had some slights in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

subsequently. General Andre and Governor Bohan came to the city to meet Du Wei. In front of Du Wei, Governor Bohan still restrained himself. After all, he was a civil servant, and he spoke with some sense of proportion. He just expressed his dissatisfaction faintly. .

Andre doesn't care about this, he is a military commander, and his temperament is straightforward. In front of Du Wei, he narrated what happened today, with some foul language from the northerners mixed in. Finally, he shouted: "...Master Duke, I have never seen such a battle in my life! The battle plan discussed in advance. He completely ignored it! He only knew that his own people rushed up to grab credit! Damn it. Where is it? How did you fight like this? The infantry rushed to the front and deliberately blocked the gate. My cavalry was not allowed to enter!! Lao Tzu sent someone to urge him, but he ignored it on purpose!! In the end, the Northwest Army surrendered, and his men even killed the captives! As a result, the Northwest Army who had already surrendered took up arms to resist, and many of us died in vain! Where did this bastard come from! I want to sue him!! sue him!!!”

Du Wei sighed, he comforted the two of them, and then slowly said: "Well, you two don't have to be so anxious, this time the imperial guards are under the command of General Alpay, and he must come into the city later Well, we'll talk about it when we meet."

But the three of them waited for a long time, and the sky was completely dark, and General Alpay of the Royal Guards did not come into the city to see Du Wei!

It stands to reason that Du Wei is the highest-ranking figure in this war, and he is also the landlord here. After the battle is over, he, the general of the Royal City Guards, always wants to come to the city to see Du Wei. But in the end, the three of them waited until it was dark, and only waited for a letter from Wang Cheng's guards.

This is an official document. Du Wei opened it and read it again, and his face sank.

In this official document, there was no politeness at all, but it only used a business-like tone to report the "results" of this battle to Du Wei, the highest official. .

"Your Excellency, Duke Tulip, the results of this battle are as follows. The headquarters lost 3,622 soldiers and injured 1,400 people. Killed 16,400 enemy heads, and the prisoners are useless. Captured enemy supplies , more than 7,000 pairs of standard swords, more than 4,000 armor and shields, and no food and grass..."

When Du Wei saw this, Andre, who was standing next to him and read the official document together, cursed: "This bastard! Beheaded more than 16,000? I'm going to fuck!! At least half of this number The enemy was killed by my men! My subordinates told me that these guards are extremely despicable. On the battlefield, I saw that many of these guys deliberately pulled up the corpses of the enemies killed by our cavalry You know they are used to receive merit!! Haha! His men can kill more than 16,000 Northwest Army! It’s a joke!! There are also captured enemy supplies! Those things were captured by him What! It was their battle that ended, and before our people could react, they first emptied the military vehicles in the camp of the Northwest Army!!"

Du Wei's face was also a little ugly, and the last few words of this official document completely angered Du Wei!

"...The number of casualties in the headquarters has been reported. Please report the compensation to Grand Duke Tulip. In addition, for the food and grass in the camp of the headquarters, please replenish half a month's share on the spot."

Still looking for food from me?

Du Wei sneered twice, then put the letter on the table.

He didn't get angry, just took a deep breath, called his own soldiers, and said lightly: "Send someone to go out of the city immediately, go to the camp of the Royal Guards to meet General Alpay, and tell me Ask him to come into the city to discuss things." When Du Wei said the word "please", he deliberately emphasized his tone, with a gloomy smile on his face. Governor Bohan, who had a lot of dealings with Du Wei in the northwest, saw the smile on Du Wei's face, and he knew that the Tulip Duke was really popular.

Du Wei turned around and sat on the chair, his face seemed to be very calm, but he thought to himself...how is this General Alpay so sacred? .
