Bet that the Northwest Army does not dare to really rebel now. Bet that the Northwest Army is just testing and threatening itself, but it does not dare to attack the city with a real army!
No matter under any conditions, now is not the best time for the Northwest Army to rebel.
But seeing that there are 40,000 Northwest Army troops under the city, which is already one-fifth of the strength of the Northwest Army, Chen Bing is under the city... There is absolutely no reason for such a generous move!
What are they plotting?
When the sun set in the west, the Northwest Army under the city finally began to move.
The engineers, who were like worker ants, dismantled the half-built camp, and cart after cart of huge logs were transported away. At the same time, several thousand-man infantry troops stood in front, maintaining a vigilant posture at all times to prevent the city from entering.
The defenders will take the opportunity to come out and attack.
The tents were put away one after another, and then watching the dust rising in the distance, tens of thousands of people began to slowly retreat in an orderly manner.
Seeing this scene, Du Wei, who was standing on the top of the city, breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that I made the right bet!
The Northwest Army is indeed extraordinary. Even when it is retreating, the army is still neat and organized, one team after another, well-organized and unhurried. The cavalry separates the two wings and slowly retreats like a tide. The infantry square is as neat as a knife.
The sound of neat footsteps, mixed with the sound of the soldiers' armor clashing as they walked, formed a very oppressive "clatter, clatter, clatter" sound.
At this moment, I saw more than ten cavalry suddenly galloping out of the northwest army's lineup. Immediately at the head was a cavalryman, holding a flag high in his hand. The pattern on the flag was pure black, and the surrounding
The edge is inlaid with gold, which is the "Golden Fire Black Flag" of the Northwest Army.
The Northwest Army uses black as its flag, and is also nicknamed "Black Flag Army". However, those who can hold such gold-threaded black flags are at least generals at the level of generals within the Northwest Army.
Sure enough, these more than ten knights rushed to the city in one breath. A dozen elite heavy-armored knights guarded a general-looking man in the middle. The black flags behind him were fluttering, and the general in the middle could be heard speaking with a deep voice.
shouted from the city wall: "Major General Gu Hua Duoluo, who is under the command of General Lu Gao of the Northwest Army, please give me your answer, Duke Tulip!"
This man looked about forty years old, with a smart and strong face, especially his nose. It was very distinctive. The originally long bridge of the nose seemed to have been interrupted in the middle, making it look like it was originally
The straight nose became a little crooked. He was wearing a set of pure black armor. It was obviously made of high-quality cold iron soul. There was a long lance hanging on it, and the head of the gun showed a cross.
The shape of the gun is a cross. It also has a sharp edge. On the tip of the gun, there is a little dark red light flashing. I don’t know if it is a magic-blessed weapon or because the weapon drank too much blood.
of blood stains.
Du Wei stood on top of the city and looked at the guy who called himself Guhuaduo Luo. As he was sizing him up, Longbottom had already walked up behind him: "Humph. Gu Hua Duoluo, that's the guy."
"Do you recognize him?" Du Wei smiled.
"Of course." Longbottom stuck out his tongue and added words to his lips, with a strange sparkle in his eyes: "This is my old friend! When I was on the grassland, I often brought people back to drink and make trouble.
This Guhuaduo Luo's men have fought not only 100 times but also 80 times. This guy is very capable, probably as strong as a sixth- or seventh-level knight. He also has a good command of soldiers. The four soldiers under the command of General Lu Gao of the Northwest Army
He is a great cavalry general. This guy is nothing like others. He is just cautious. He is the most careful in doing things. It is difficult to take advantage of him. "
Du Wei smiled: "Oh? He is a cautious and calm person... That's easy to handle!"
He was really afraid that the person coming would be a reckless guy who would get angry and not care about anything. Since this guy was famous for being calm and rational... then things would be much simpler.
Du Wei coughed lightly. He stood on the city wall and leaned out, looking at Guhuaduoluo below the city: "Your Excellency, General Guhuaduoluo, I am Duwei Rudolf."
Gu Hua Duoluo looked blank, sat on the horse and lightly beat his chest with one hand: "Your Majesty Duke, please forgive me for not being able to salute! Let me ask your lord, at this moment, the city has been designated as an exercise theater by our northwest army, but your lord is raising a flag.
It is said that the Magic Society also chose this place to conduct magic experiments... Although the military and the Magic Society are under different jurisdictions, there must be an explanation."
Du Wei said lightly: "What do you mean, general?"
Guhuataro immediately said: "Every spring drill is an iron law of the empire and must not be disobeyed! Our Northwest Army also operates in accordance with national laws. The soldiers have traveled for so long to get here. You can't just tell us to leave with just a word.
Bar?"
Du Wei was not polite at all, and said with a straight face: "General Gu Hua Duoluo, what you say makes no sense! Although your army has come a long way, it is only a hundred miles away. The headquarters of the Magic Society is in the imperial capital. This
Dozens of magicians have come all the way from the Imperial Capital, and you can’t retreat. Can these dozens of magicians be able to return to the Imperial Capital?"
Guhuatara couldn't help but be speechless.
How transcendent is the status of magicians in the empire? If dozens of magicians are asked to give in, Guhuaduoluo also knows that it will be difficult to say it. So knowing that Du Wei is prevaricating, he has no choice. After all, offending a magician
Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to do it.
Moreover... before coming this time, Master Lu Gao also gave the instructions... only to surround and not fight! Especially this "no fighting" was carefully warned by the Legion Commander.
Guhuataro thought for a moment and said loudly: "Your Excellency, the Northwest Army came here to conduct exercises. It was announced three days ago. Although these distinguished magicians are not controlled by the laws of the empire, things have to be done beforehand."
After all, this truth must not be wrong! Even if a magician has a noble status and is not subject to the laws of the empire, it is not okay to blatantly trample on military law!"
Du Wei simply acted like a fool, stood at the top of the city, laughed, and said loudly: "General, I deeply regret your opinion...but I must also make it clear to you! Although I am the lord of the Province of Desa,
But I'm not sure whether these magicians will listen to me! You also know that the magicians on our mainland always act according to their own preferences, and I have no power to restrain them... Moreover, the tempers of magicians
Most of them are not very good. If these distinguished guests are excited and they get into trouble and accidentally cause something to happen and hurt the warriors of your army, then I cannot bear this responsibility. And...even if you report it to the military headquarters, go
Let’s go to court. I don’t think the military high command can reason with the Magic Union.”
Guhuataro frowned even more. He hesitated in his heart. This Tulip Duke kept insisting on the guise of "magician" and really made it difficult for him.
After all, if there really is a conflict with a magician, then there is really no place to reason! Not even the royal family can suppress the magic union, let alone the Northwest Army? If there is a real fight, no matter whether you lose or win, you will always suffer in the end.
It's one's own side.
Thinking of this, Guhuaduoluo simply kicked the ball to Duwei: "Your Majesty, you are the Duke of the Empire, the lord of the Province of Desa, and a famous magician. In this case, how can you solve this matter?
?Is there any way to have both ends?"
Guhuaduoluo was determined to pay attention. If the Tulip Duke really insisted on making his army retreat ten miles, then he would have no choice but to refuse, even if he tried to fall out.
Du Wei smiled and said: "Your army had a special envoy to inform you three days ago, and I can't make it difficult for you. Well, as a member of the Magic Society, I still have some weight among these magicians.
, I have to shoulder some responsibilities, but also give you some face. Let's do this... I don't ask too much, as long as your army withdraws from the area within a stone's throw! The area within a stone's throw of the city is left to the magicians for research.
That’s it!”
A stone's throw away?
Guhuataro thought for a while. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, how far can an arrow reach? Even if the arrow shot by a strong archer can reach a few hundred meters, it is about the same. Even if a military crossbow is used, it can only reach a maximum of 100 meters.
Just a thousand meters.
General Lu Gao's order was to surround but not attack, and to retreat a thousand meters. As long as they guarded firmly, they would not be able to fly out!
The Northwest Army knows very well how many troops there are in Loulan City, but they are only a few thousand. How much trouble can this small army create?
Thinking of this, Guhuaduoluo smiled slightly and said loudly: "Just follow what the Duke said! I will ask people to step back five hundred meters!"
"Wait a minute!" Du Wei suddenly shouted: "Sir, whether the one-shot radius I mentioned is more or less, you have to try it! In this way, I will personally shoot an arrow, and it will be based on my shooting range.
!”
Guhuataro was even more relieved. Although the Tulip Duke was heard to be a powerful magician... But the weak body of the magician couldn't do archery well! Archery requires arm strength.
!It cannot be replaced by magic!
It's a pity...he must have eaten and suppressed it.
After the two of them made an agreement, Du Wei suddenly smiled softly, turned over, and jumped onto the wall of the city wall! Although his martial arts skills were average, he had been practicing star battle qi for so long, and his body had been trained with the introductory movements.
He is extremely strong, whether it is explosiveness, jumping, or flexibility, he is already very good.
Such a slight jump, the movement is really indescribably graceful and neat.
At this moment, I saw this young Duke, wearing a gorgeous silver armor, with a bright red cloak behind him that was rustling in the cold wind. He was standing on the wall, looking indescribably heroic and unrestrained.
He smiled softly, lifted up his cloak, and saw a dazzling magical light flashing on his palm, and a long bow with a strange shape appeared in his hand!
The streamlined bow looks like a crescent moon in the night sky. The bow corners on both sides are polished with a strange transparent crystal, and there are two curved barbs hanging on them. Above the barbs, they are polished.
A sharp edge emerged!
This is clearly the Bow of Annihilation in Du Wei's hand... that is, the "Ji Douluo Throat Instant Prison Arrow" that almost defeated Gandolf in the green robe during the coup!!
If this long bow were straightened, it would be almost as tall as Du Wei. Holding it in his hands like this, such a strangely shaped and extremely gorgeous long bow immediately made everyone feel like one.
shock!
Gu Hua Duoluo also felt his heart sinking. He felt vaguely that something was wrong!
Du Wei was not proficient in archery before, but since he got this Jidu Luohou instant prison arrow, how can he not make good use of such a magical weapon in his hand? Even if he is not good at archery, he will definitely do it to his death.
Practice it.
What's more, this Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow is not an ordinary bow and arrow. To practice ordinary bow and arrow well, it is nothing more than two things: arm strength and eyesight!!
But this Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow is a bow and arrow specially designed for magicians. It does not rely on arm strength to draw the bow at all, but is driven purely by magic power...
Du Wei's magic level is already quite powerful.
As for eyesight...the magician's "Eagle Eye Technique" is much more accurate than any sharpshooter!!!
Du Wei has been in the northwest for more than a year and has spent a lot of time secretly practicing this Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow. At this moment, he finally took it out!!
Du Wei held the long bow in his hand. He flicked the bow string slightly, and the magic power on the "Ji Du Luo Hou Instant Prison Arrow" was stimulated, and a faint silver light immediately appeared. I saw the light flashing on the long bow, which was extremely special.
Attention!
He made a slight gesture as if he was about to draw the bow. But suddenly he put it down and looked back behind him: "Lao Yan!"
"Sir!" Lao Yan stood up immediately.
"Do you have the courage?" Du Wei asked lightly.
Lao Yan immediately puffed up his chest: "Yes!"
After all, he has died once. What does Lao Yan have to fear now?
"good!"
Du Wei laughed. Suddenly he raised his hand and pulled off the bright red cloak behind him. He threw it on the spear in the hand of a defender beside him. The bright red cloak danced on the tip of the spear, but Du Wei
Pointing in the distance, he said loudly: "Old Yan! After I finish shooting this arrow, you can go out with this spear! When you get to the place where I shot the arrow, use this spear to pick up my cloak.
As a sign on the ground!!"
Lao Yan responded loudly, walked over, took the spear from the defender's hand, and stood solemnly on the city.
"General Guhuaduoluo, watch out!" Du Wei sneered. He gently raised one foot and stood on the wall. Suddenly, his body was light and 360 degrees on the city wall.
Rotate! Stretch out your body. Lean back slightly, and your whole body seems to have lost its balance, like a stretched bow!
This action is extremely difficult and extremely arrogant!
Du Wei hooked two fingers on the bow string and took a deep breath...
Buzz!!!!
There was a buzz, the bow string trembled, and on the Bow of Nirvana in Du Wei's hand, a magical light suddenly became extremely dazzling! Just when the light was so dazzling that it almost stung people's eyes, a
A meteor suddenly burst out from under Du Wei's bow!
The bright light drew a dazzling arc in the mid-air and shot towards the distance...
This meteor streaked across the sky, and the tens of thousands of soldiers under the city could see it clearly. Tens of thousands of people were dumbfounded as they watched the meteor streak across their heads and head towards the distance...
Gu Hua Duoluo felt the cold sweat falling from his forehead drop by drop!
This...what kind of bow is this?!!
How far did the arrow travel? Guhuatara didn't even want to think about it!
Du Wei jumped lightly and jumped down from the wall. With a wave of his hand, the strange long bow turned into a ray of light and disappeared in his hand. He turned to look at Lao Yan and said lightly: "Old
Yan, go! Ride my horse, go and come back quickly, carry this spear on my cloak, and stick it in the place where the arrow falls!"
After a pause, Du Wei suddenly smiled maliciously and said: "The shot is a bit far... Lao Yan, thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, I will wait for you to come back for dinner."
Guhuataro at the foot of the city looked embarrassed...
Wait, wait for him to come back for dinner?
How fucking far did it go!!!
Then, Du Wei turned to look at Gu Hua Duo Luo outside the city, and the expression on his face was not so friendly.
"Your Excellency, General, I promise you a thousand pounds! I ask your queen to withdraw from this place of arrows!"
After a pause, Du Wei suddenly gave an order loudly: "Send the order from the president of my college! In an hour, from under the city wall to the place where the arrow fell! Use three people as a group and attack with magic indiscriminately!!"
When he said this sentence, especially the last sentence of "indiscriminate attack", it was even more impactful! Du Wei laughed twice, and then went down to the city without looking back.
Northwest Army? Are you playing ruthlessly with me? I am more ruthless than you!
