[Guys, I never said what kind of double protagonist I want to write...... Everyone's noisy, it's too strong, right? I never said that I wanted to add a main character...... Dizzy...... Besides, how can anyone write until 200,000 or 300,000 words are written, and then suddenly add a protagonist to it? It's impossible at all......]

CHAPTER XXXVI

"What do you mean...... Ferdo 's eyes flickered, and he and Ferrara exchanged glances. They both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Just now, the Duke pulled them into the woods to talk, and the Duke didn't have a temper to go around the corner, and went directly to the word "money" in a few words. Although walking above the officialdom, "money" is indispensable. It's just that this Duke is too direct, right? Without any foreshadowing, he stretched out his hand directly. The two of them didn't know that Luo Di was a fake duke at all, although he had lived a few months of aristocratic life in Yanjing, but he still didn't know how to detour about this kind of dirty transaction between high-ranking people, so he said it in a daze.

Ferrara was surprised, but greatly relieved. I'm not afraid that the other party won't collect money, but I'm afraid that I want to send money but I don't have a place to send it! At that moment, Ferrara smiled slightly: "My subordinates know that the war in the northwest is tense at present, and our army is short of materials. I am willing to sell my property, raise military expenses, and relieve my worries for adults!"

Fei Duo also nodded yes immediately, but there was a faint look of pain on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Although the subordinates are not wealthy, they are willing to smash the pot and sell iron, and donate military expenses......" Speaking of this, he paused, thinking that he was calculating the number, and said loudly: "Ten thousand gold coins!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Di's brows immediately furrowed. Ferrara next to him was also full of anger, and scolded in his heart for this Fei Duo straw bag! Since the Duke dared to ask for money, he naturally knew the details of his loss of air force salaries and materials! At this time, this straw bag garrison commander still spared money as his life, and it was really a waste!

Sure enough, I saw that the Duke was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Okay, Lord Feiduo Garrison! You are very generous! 10,000 gold coins!" After a pause, I heard the Duke say coldly: "Before the siege, the Watt Fortress had not been attacked in any way, and at that time, what was the reported military strength of the Watt Fortress? 15,000 people, right? After the siege, it was the main force of Reuben's Northwest Army who went to the city wall to fight, and most of your people assisted in the city defense and the security problems in the city!" Now that the battle is over, how many defenders are there in the Watt Fortress? The Watt Fortress is a first-class fortress, and the emperor has ordered that there should be 4,000 bundles of arrows lost in the stockpile! When I came, I heard General Ruben say that it seems that the number of arrows lost is not so sufficient...... Also, the Imperial decree is that the first-class fortress should be built with a city wall, and the city is twelve meters high! When I entered the city, I wondered, why is the city wall so low? It seems that it is less than ten meters!"

Luo Di said this very slowly, and the guard Fei Duo was shocked when he heard it, and his face was colorless, until he heard the last sentence, he subconsciously pleaded: "How can it be less than ten meters! Obviously it is ten meters!" As soon as these words came out, he immediately realized that it was broken, and his face was as white as earth, and he trembled with fright.

Ferrara scolded in her heart when she saw it on the side, scolding this garrison for being a straw bag, and made up her mind that as soon as this matter passed, she would report to Yanjing to replace this straw bag that was not enough to succeed and more than to fail!

At that moment, Ferrara's face changed, put away his smile, looked directly at Luo Di, and gritted his teeth: "Since the Duke has already explained, I won't say anything about the scene! I and the Lord Garrison are willing to contribute 100,000 gold coins to fund the military expenses! I don't know if the Duke is satisfied!"

Luo Di sighed, and then smiled: "Thank you two adults for your loyalty to the country!"

With that, a few people walked out of the woods and rejoined the dinner. This time, Luo Di was not pretentious, he made full use of the aristocratic etiquette he learned from Yanjing, walked among many people, talked and laughed and behaved generously, and looked like a nobleman.

Everyone dispersed happily that night, although they felt that the attitude of this Duke was inconsistent, which was quite strange, but thinking that the person who came was the first family of the empire from Yanjing, it was normal for some shelfs to be there.

Roddy was also a little drunk, and his men went back under the escort of his own soldiers. Just sitting on the horse and snickering at Andy in his head along the way.

"Andy, thanks to you just now, I really didn't understand that these guys could be so troublesome to teach. ”

Andy's tone was disdainful: "I helped you with 100,000 gold coins in one breath today, and you are satisfied now." There were still too many flaws when you spoke just now, and you almost let that fat man see the flaws!"

Luo Di smiled bitterly: "I don't understand these things in the first place, it's all up to you to secretly remind me what to say and what to do." Several times I didn't know what to say, so I could only scare them with a deep face. If you hadn't told me in my heart how to speak, I'm afraid I would have been exposed in no time. ”

Andy snickered: "Boy, a random dinner party will cost 100,000 gold coins, how does this feel?"

Luo Di was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Disgusting!"

Andy said coldly: "This is the temptation of power, you are not used to it now." Either way, this first step is a success, and it's up to you. After all, I can help you with advice, real swords and real guns, that can't be fake!"

Rochenthal dispersed scouts in the important town of Mudan to investigate the situation of the Watt Fortress. However, for several days, it was found that the surrounding fortifications outside the fortress of Watt were clear, and a large number of cavalry escorted the craftsmen to dispatch, and even several small woods around it were cut down, and all the timber was brought back to the city. The city walls are even more in full swing, and craftsmen are busy reinforcing the city walls all day long. Within two days, countless horses were built under the walls outside the fortress, and the giant trees with sharpened wooden spears were inserted all over the walls.

Then the cavalry went out everywhere, ran all the towns and villages around the fortress, bought a large amount of grain and grass, and moved most of the nearby residents to the city. This contrived is obviously a posture of stubborn defense.

Rochenthal secretly sent two cavalry to harass him, but the Duke of Tulip seemed to be very powerful. The empire's "Thor's Whip" was already waiting for the rabbit, and the two sides fought a few small battles, but the cavalry of Rochenthal was defeated and retreated.

Rochenthal saw it in his eyes, but he sneered in his heart. He had already learned from the secret talk report of the Imperial Yanjing that the reinforcements from the Central Cavalry Legion this time were only 20,000 people, although the tulip duke on the other side came surprisingly quickly, and he was caught off guard in front of the intelligence, but now it seems that the strength of the other party is only so. In terms of military strength, it is still far inferior to itself. Now, even if the other party wants to mobilize the legion from the south of the empire, it will not be able to arrive in two months.

And he had already requisitioned 100,000 cavalry from the Great Moon Kingdom and arrived within two days, and then Luo Yanthal made up his mind that even if he fought for a big loss, he would eat the other party! Although the siege battle gave him a headache, the consumption of troops was not coincidental. Even if you fight a war of attrition, you are also nine out of ten.

The only thing that made me angry was that those people in the Roland Continent were resting in the military camp in the important town of Mudan. The envoy of the Roland Continent was saying that he was nowhere to be seen, and the large number of magician reinforcements who had promised him before the war were certainly invisible, and even the 10,000 knights he brought with him refused to come out. The other party only said that the knights were only ordered to protect the envoy and refused to participate in the battle, and the teeth of hatred in Rochenthal's heart itched, but he had nothing to say.

The 10,000 Central Cavalry Regiment and 2,000 Royal Guards cavalry, led by Gordon, also arrived at Watt Fortress. Every day, Roddy only summoned Sieggordon and his party to discuss in the garrison mansion, and the other commanders were nowhere to be seen, nor did he raise his account to discuss matters, nor did he inspect the barracks. Everyone thought that the young Duke Tulip was acting strangely, and from some of the words of the garrison mansion, the Duke liked to shut himself in his room and talk to himself, and sometimes the voice of the Duke seemed to be arguing with someone.

After two more days of patience, the 100,000 reinforcements of the Great Moon Kingdom arrived in the important town of Mudan, and Luo Yantar ordered the whole army to repair two days, and made full preparations, and immediately ordered to open the fortress, intending to attack the fortress of Watt for a second time.

For a time, in addition to the 50,000 people left behind to guard the important town of Mudan, the other 200,000 people were mighty, and the army formation was five miles long. Rochenthal knew that he could not sneak attack, so he simply marched openly, but last time he suffered hardship, but this time he was widely scattered cavalry scouts to inquire about the news and prevent someone from sneaking up on him.

Looking at the rejection horses that were full of sharp wooden spears, looking at the tall city wall after being fully reinforced, and looking at the large number of rolling wooden stones placed on the city wall, Rochenthal secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, not knowing how many of his warriors would die under this Watt city this time.

Rochenthal was fully prepared, and immediately sent 2,000 death squads to dismantle the city and reject the horses, and the first two thousand people were killed and wounded. Arrows rained down on the city walls, and these horses were within the range of the arrows, and for each one they were demolished, two or three soldiers had to be compensated. Rochenthal ordered to shoot at the opponent, but was blocked by the opponent's warlocks.

It took two more days to dismantle more than half of the fortifications under the city, but Rochenthal had already lost more than 6,000 people, and he was so angry that his eyes were red, but he could only stomp his feet.

He has an army of 200,000 troops, although the military strength is greatly superior to the other party, but the consumption of grain and grass is also amazing. The Great Moon Kingdom is located in the grassland, so it was not a place to produce food in the first place. It took two years to prepare for this war before accumulating a batch of supplies for him to use, so Rochenthal was in a hurry, so he could only give the order for a hard attack regardless of the losses of the soldiers.

However, before the team of thousands of people under his command could get close to the opponent's city wall, they were killed by the opponent's arrows, and the opponent's arrows were just rough things made by cutting wood for arrows, but under the salvo of thousands of archers, the power was also quite amazing. Although the shield is large, you can't always hold the shield when you dismantle the fortifications, right?

Sitting on his horse, Rochenthal watched the tulip battle flags fluttering above the walls of the Watt Fortress from afar, and his heart churned. He grew up on the prairie since he was a child, but he was an ambitious guy, when he was young, he once secretly sneaked into the empire alone, and even secretly learned the art of war of the Bright Empire in Yanjing, and the weight of the three words tulips is naturally extremely profound. I often regard it as my future fake enemy, but this time I really ran into it, but I made myself a disgraced face.

Seeing that another team of 1,000 people went up and was shot back by the opponent's bow and arrow, leaving behind a corpse in the ground, Rochenthal was angry and shouted loudly at the top of another team of 1,000 people.

At this time, a horse in the army rushed up from behind, and immediately the knight of the Great Moon Kingdom was covered in blood, holding a red cow bone that symbolized the urgency of one hundred thousand.

The horse galloped to Rochenthal, and the knight had just staggered off his horse, and the horse behind him had already exhausted himself and fell to the ground with a neigh. The knight held the red cow bones above his head with both hands, and his voice was filled with angry weeping.

"Your Royal Highness, the Central Cavalry Legion of the Bright Empire is divided into two routes, and within two days, they raid more than a thousand miles and sweep our seventeen tribes in a row......! It's almost time to hit the Longtai Golden Horde!!Your Majesty orders you to immediately lead the army back to help!!"

Rosenthal roared: "What!!!How many of them!!What flag!!"

The knight's face was covered in blood, and he gasped, "I don't know how many people there are...... Hit the ...... Tulip Battle Banner!"

Rochenthal felt only darkness in front of him, and then his body shook, and he almost fell off his horse. Several henchmen and generals next to him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, Luo Chentar only felt angry in his heart, he really couldn't imagine that he had been known for his long-distance attacks all his life, but this time he was attacked by the other party to his hometown!

He sat on his horse, saw that his subordinates around him were looking at him, he reluctantly calmed down, gritted his teeth, and said: "How could they run behind us!

The warrior took a breath, with a frightened look on his face, but he still said: "They should be walking around the city, all the small groups of scout cavalry, all the encountered, they were all slaughtered, and there was no room for survival! So the news was not discovered until they appeared in the territory! They came and went like the wind, non-stop, and the people who met us never left prisoners of war, and all of them were killed on the spot, so they ......"

Rochenthal was furious and shouted: "What about the defenders of Mudan! Did I leave 50,000 cavalry behind them as decorations? Since I have learned the news, why don't you send troops to pursue them!!"

"It's been sent!" But the news came too slowly, and the enemy had already rushed into the grassland......

Rochenthal took a long breath and calmed down, "And what about the knights of the Roland people in the town of Mudan, what are they doing?"

"Special Envoy Roland said that as an ally, it is incumbent upon him. The Roland people have already dispatched their entire army to cooperate with our pursuit!"

"Oh?" the answer came as a surprise to Rochenthal, who closed his eyes and thought for a moment, a pensive expression on his face. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and gave a low order, leaving 10,000 cavalry behind, and the rest of the army immediately retreated. He himself personally led 30,000 cavalry to rush to the aid of the Great Moon Kingdom.

At this moment, on the grassland of the Great Moon Kingdom in the northwest, a knight regiment with full armor and spears is also galloping non-stop, just now they found a large number of horseshoe marks, counted them, and estimated that there were about tens of thousands of people on the other side. So the leading officer immediately ordered a full pursuit.

The knights ran on a red war horse at the front, and the envoy of the Roland Continent was still dressed in a black robe and covered with a black veil. Although the war horse was galloping, he was still thinking about the secret order sent by the wingman eagle last night......

"Kill Duke Tulip at all costs!";
