On the city gate, Du Wei held the city wall with his hand, and looked not far from the city, the 20,000 cavalry of the Northwest Army showed off their might, and the banners were all over the sky, and they were murderous. There was no joy or anger on his face, but when he pressed on the city wall, his hand was squeezed tighter and tighter, and a trace of spark faintly flashed in his eyes!

This is a provocation!**naked provocation!

Du Wei is no longer a military idiot. Coming to the northwest from scratch, he at least did some understanding of the army under his command. Not to mention anything else, I also have an understanding of the formation of the army.

At a glance, how could he not see that the other party was openly attacking the ground with a naked posture?

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

Dardanelles stood behind Du Wei, as the defender of Loulan City, Dardanelles commanded the defenders of Loulan City. This former Liszt family warrior, facing the bravado of the Northwest Army under the city, also had an angry look on his face, heard Du Wei's call, and said in a low voice: "My lord." ”

"Let people show their flags! See what they want to do. Du Wei sneered.

After a while, the flags came back and forth, and the people below reported up: "My lord, the other party told us that they asked us to open the city gate and give up a city wall, and they need to borrow the city defense to conduct offensive and defensive warfare drills......"

The person who reported was a deputy commander of Dardanelles, and before he finished speaking, he saw Du Wei's face turned blue, and when he said the back, he didn't feel that his voice was lowered.

Du Wei sneered twice: "Give up a city wall for them to conduct offensive and defensive exercises? Okay! Okay! Do they want to take the opportunity to demolish one of my city walls? Northwest Army...... What a Northwest Army!"

"Your Excellency...... How do we answer?" the Commander asked in a low voice.

Du Wei was expressionless, and coldly dropped a sentence: "Don't talk nonsense, just tell them directly: Don't let it!"

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

Northwest Army, do you really think that I am a bully?

Du Wei sneered.

Before asking for money and food, Lao Tzu held the mentality of spending money to buy peace, and endured it for the time being. All the money and food were given...... These bastards are still putting a trap on me behind my back! That time in Niuli Town, weren't the thousands of cavalry on the grassland secretly put in by the Northwest Army!

Test Lao Tzu's bottom line? Then I'll give you a good look at what the "bottom line" is!

Walk into the tower. In the room in this city tower, it was unusually silent. Du Wei was not humble, so he sat in the middle, and then glanced at Dardanelle: "Dardanelle, how many soldiers are there in our city now?"

"Four thousand people in one infantry regiment...... Loulan City is our capital, and half of the 4,000 infantry regiments are from the royal city guards that you regained in Da'er City. As for the cavalry, a cavalry regiment led by General Longbottom has never been full, with more than 2,000 people. And......" Dardanelle seemed to see the anger in Du Wei's heart, and couldn't help but whisper: "My lord, if you really want to fight...... In siege warfare, cavalry did not play much of a role. Moreover, the number of cavalry on the other side is too large, and if it is a field field, no matter how strong the warriors under General Longbottom are, two thousand people will only be eaten......"

When these words came out, although he was a little disrespectful to Longbottom, this two hundred and five general was not unreasonable, he didn't speak in the room, but at this moment he whispered: "Those Northwest Army have good combat strength, and the cavalry is also very capable of fighting...... It's a pity that there are few of us. If I were to be given another 2,000 men, I would now take people out for a while, and it would not be impossible for them to win for a while while they were not on a firm footing. Those guys showed off their strength, galloped all the way, the horsepower was consumed, they looked amazing, and now they are just showmanship...... My lord, if you want to fight, it's now, otherwise, when they have enough horsepower, it will be difficult to fight again. ”

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

Longbottom grinned: "This is natural...... However, the Northwest Army has made a capital this time. The 20,000 cavalry, I think it should be the Northwest Army...... If you put it here for no reason, there must be a purpose!"

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

After more than a year of government baptism, this young man's temperament has become more and more calm, and his face, which was already quite handsome, has actually washed away its original simplicity, faintly revealing a bit of yīn softness, and he gently reminded: "My lord, I have thought of a possibility. ”

"Speak!"

"I have heard that General Lu Gao of the Northwest Army is one of the faithful admirers of the Marquise Liszt...... In the past, the Northwest Legion had a good relationship with us, but it was only after the day of the chéngrén ceremony that their attitude towards us changed subtly. ”

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent. After all, Du Wei's private affairs are involved, and no matter how much these generals under him laugh with Du Wei, it is not easy to speak out at the moment.

Du Wei narrowed his eyes and sighed casually: "Philip, what you said makes sense. Hey...... Marquise Liszt, you've got me in a lot of trouble!"

"This is just one of them. Philip rolled up his sleeves, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, although I don't understand military strategy. But I can also see just now that the opposing army is faintly besieging the city, and I am worried...... I'm afraid they won't really fight. After all, the Northwest Army has not yet made up its mind to rebel against the Empire. But...... Besieging our capital for a period of time will give us a great embarrassment, but it is not impossible to do it! Moreover, it will be spread out in the future...... My lord, your capital city, was besieged by the Northwest Army for ten days and eight days, but you couldn't go out of the city, and you became a turtle with a shrunken head, allowing the other party to show off his might at the door of his home...... Then your majesty will be greatly damaged!"

After saying this, Dardanelle suddenly said angrily: "Philip, who do you say is the shrunken turtle! As a staff member, you don't respect your superiors, and you dare to insult the duke!"

Du Wei waved his hand: "Dardanelle, Philip just made an analogy, but he has a point. The Northwest Army will not really fight, but the siege of the city for a few days, blocking our gate and not allowing us to enter and exit, this spread out, Lao Tzu's face will be lost!" He paused for a moment and looked at Philip: "What you said is very good, Dardanelles is not aimed at you, neither of you need to take it to heart." ”

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

；

A full hour passed after Du Wei refused the request of the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army did not make any further excessive moves, but several thousand-strong teams split up and patrolled around the city, but the siege posture was undisguised.

Although the other party did not really attack head-on, the side of the tulip family on the city wall did not relax in the slightest!

Everyone intellectually thinks that although the Northwest Army is arrogant, it should not do anything like a blatant rebellion: after all, the Northwest Army has been quite peaceful for so many years, and there is no reason to turn its face for no reason now. Moreover, judging by the timing, it is not a good opportunity for rebellion.

However, after all, under the other party's Chen soldiers, 20,000 iron horsemen are right in front of him! This kind of thing is always uncertain.

Minutes and seconds passed. On the city walls, the soldiers of the Tulip family were all on standby, Dardanelles was fully armed, and his personal soldiers and generals patrolled back and forth, and Longbottom also went to reorganize the cavalry in the city to be fully prepared. Only Du Wei simply asked someone to move a chair, sat on the city gate, crossed his legs, and looked coldly at the northwest cavalry not far from the city.

The iron cavalry of the Northwest Army really lived up to its name, and the cavalry lineup of 20,000 people was rigorous, lined up under the city, and there was no slack appearance at all, just quietly raising horsepower and confronting the city.

And when his head was a little westward, the old smoke behind Du Wei suddenly changed slightly, and when he looked at Du Wei again, he also frowned and stood up from the chair, holding the city wall with both hands, looking into the distance......

On the horizon, a faint black line appeared, and then it turned into a thick, black cloud! Accompanied by the sound of "rustling" and "rustling"! armor colliding, military boots curling! shields like walls, swords like forests!

Five infantry regiments, more than 20,000 infantry, marched towards Loulan City!

The giant shield soldiers are in front, the pikemen are in the back, and further back, there are Qing Yi sè jīng Rui northwest foot soldiers, and there are several thousand-strong archers in the back, all dressed lightly, carrying the imperial ** longbow behind them......

As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 men and horses, and even the sky is covered! This new infantry, more than 20,000 infantry, came from afar, but the lineup is still strong, and from the perspective of temperament, it is actually the commander of the Northwest Army, General Lu Gao, among several divisions directly under him!

Seeing the arrival of a large number of infantry in the northwest army, the northwest cavalry guarding the city suddenly cheered and shook the sky, countless cavalry raised their cavalry spears in their hands, and 20,000 voices shouted long live.

The phalanx of infantry slowly came to the city, and then fell silent!

At this moment, a suffocating scene has been formed in the city and under the city, and there is no human voice in the air, only the silence that makes it difficult to breathe!

At this moment, suddenly the formation of the Northwest Army separated, revealing a row of archers behind it. These archers took off their longbows and lined them up in a dense array covering Qi shè, stretching their bows and arrows, but the arrows were aimed at Loulan City!

The defenders of the Tulip Family on the city immediately changed their hearts, and under the orders of the commander who defended the city, everyone picked up their shields.

Only Du Wei still leaned against the wall and sneered.

Sure enough, these archers then lowered their arrows, and did not aim at the city, the arrows were lowered, and after a round of Qi shè, the arrow rain was like locusts, densely shè under the walls of Loulan City about twenty meters away!

Then, the infantry of the Northwest Army under the city, as if deliberately, laughed loudly, and this unbridled laughter made the defenders of the tulips in the city angry when they heard it.

Although they were all guilty in the end, the identity of rebels, but the pride in their hearts could not tolerate the dominance of the Northwest Army in front of them! In their hearts, they also faintly felt: Lao Tzu is a zhōngyāng army, and these guys are just local troops!

After a round of Qi shè, the archers retreated, leaving behind a forest of arrows under the city. Then the infantry of the Northwest Army divided into a thousand sappers, and under the noses of the Tulip family defenders in the city, they began to work unscrupulously, digging fortifications, cutting down trees, setting up tents, erecting fences, and actually setting up camps here!

At this time, the West Army called a flag that made people angry!

The deputy commander under Dardanelle got the other party's flag, his face turned red, and in front of Du Weidi, he seemed to be a little afraid to speak.

"Just say it. Du Wei waved his hand.

The deputy commander took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, what do they say" He seemed to have a trace ......of fire in his voice, and his voice was hoarse...... The Duke Mingjian, the 3rd Cavalry Division and the 5th Infantry Division of the Northwest Army conducted actual combat exercises under Loulan City, and this order shall prevail from this point on, all areas covered by the Northwest Army are forbidden areas in wartime, and no one, including local dignitaries of the empire, shall disobey military orders and enter the forbidden area without authorization. Those who violate the order will be judged by the emperor's order, and the Northwest Army has the right to kill them on the spot -- the Northwest Army Command. ”

After hearing this, Du Wei laughed instead of being angry, looked up to the sky and smiled, pointed to the forest of arrows on the ground under the city, and said with a smile: "What they mean is that these arrows are the scope of the forbidden area...... Let's stay in the city obediently, otherwise as soon as we get out of the city, we will break into the forbidden area, and we can let go and kill people, right?"

“...... It's the ground, my lord. The deputy commander's face was almost oozing blood, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "Lord Duke! When have we ever eaten such a wretch! What kind of thing is the Northwest Army, and it dares to bully us...... My lord, if you give the order, I will lead people out to kill them!!"

Du Wei smiled, patted the officer's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't be in a hurry, they have military orders, so Lao Tzu has no countermeasures......?" Playing the card of wartime regulations, Lao Tzu does not eat this set. ”

After a pause, Du Wei smiled and said, "Okay, the order goes down, everyone strictly guards their posts and is not allowed to leave without permission...... The gates of the city were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Aren't they going to make a no-go zone? We'll just stay in the city and let them go outside the city. Hmph, 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, so 40,000 people eat, drink, and Lazar...... Aren't you going to besiege the city? Let them besiege it!"

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

The others didn't understand what the Duke meant...... Could it be that you put up with it so much?

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

The twenty-eight students all came to the city according to Du Wei's request, and Du Wei suddenly smiled and said, "Among you, I'm afraid there are no people who know the wind system flying technique, right?"

The students all looked at each other, indeed, the flying technique of the wind system, at their current level, could not be used.

Du Wei thought for a moment: "In this way, then all of you immediately change into magician robes...... Stand up to the gates of the city, stand against the wall, and stand as conspicuous as you can!

Then Du Wei invited the leader of the team who brought these magic students to the northwest for internship this time: two disciples of Master Erik, both of whom were genuine seventh-level magicians.

Dewey called Vivien again.

"In a while, you don't need to do anything else, just use the flying technique, fly to the mid-air on the city tower, and it will be fine......" Du Wei smiled: "Well, two mages, if you can, I hope you can help a little and use a little magic." Don't be exaggerated, and you don't need any magic to attack xìng. A little wind system, or light magic, is fine, anyway, the effect is more gorgeous, and it is better to be eye-catching. ”

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

"Vivien. Du Wei glanced at the little silly girl: "Will you make some magic that looks dazzling, but actually doesn't have much practical effect? ”

Vivien didn't seem to understand, and nodded: "I...... I will have a light earth blessing technique, and the scope of the blessing technique can make our people's courage multiply and increase their fighting spirit, is it okay?"

Du Wei smiled: "Very good!"

Then, Du Wei gave an order, and above the city, three figures rose!

Vivien was in the middle, and the two disciples of Master Erik were on either side!

The three of them, under the gaze of tens of thousands of Northwest Army troops under the city, gently floated into the air! The disciples of Master Erik on both sides were all wearing gray mage robes, and they were all gone.

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

Vivian flew in mid-air, her hands shook slightly, and she slowly drew a circle in mid-air, chanting a spell clearly in her mouth, and soon, above her head, a pattern of a six-pointed star flashed in the air! Countless golden points of light fell like raindrops, falling on the city! The light of the six-pointed star became brighter and brighter, and finally almost the entire city wall was shrouded below!

The disciples of Master Erik on both sides, where did they not know the opportunity, and hurriedly used their respective mana to fully cooperate with Vivien's actions.

Such a huge blessing spell, how gorgeous and gorgeous it is!And in the glow of the magic land, the majestic chanting of the two gray-clothed mages used magic. Word by word, it was transmitted to the distant ......

On top of the city walls, there stood a whole row of magic students in robes...... At first glance, this posture is really scary!

The general of the Northwest Army below couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it!

So many magicians?

The three enclaves in the sky don't count, why is there a row on the city wall? Damn it...... One, two, three...... Damn!How are there so many!!

At this time, Du Wei had already personally pulled over a soldier who was specially responsible for playing the flag, and said warmly: "I have some words to convey to the other side, but the meaning is a little complicated, I don't know if I can explain it clearly in the flag language." ”

The soldier looked at the duke and said excitedly, "My lord, no problem!"

"Okay! I say, you hit!" Du Wei grimaced.

"The generals of the Northwest Army: There is the Roland Continent Magic Society, the Academy of Magic. One white-robed mage, two gray-robed mages, and twenty-eight magicians! Ordered to go to the northwest on a business trip! From this moment on, in the name of the Magic Society, the special decree of the magician of the Imperial Code of Magic, with the approval of the Duke of the Northwest Lord, is as follows: From the moment this order is transmitted, three hours later, within ten miles of Loulan City, a large-scale magic weapon experiment will be conducted! This magic is a mass destruction spell, during the experiment, anyone and so on, please retreat! If you don't do anything, if you are shrouded by my magic and have some damage, you will not be held responsible for the special terms and conditions of the magicians of the Imperial Codex, and the Magic Society will not be held responsible!!"

This flag was sent, and the Northwest Army was shocked!

Large-scale magic weapons experiments? What is this?

Sounds like something dangerous!

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

Du Wei stood on the city and sneered in his heart: "Northwest Army, Northwest Army, do you want to test my bottom line? I'm afraid you won't be able to try it! Hmph, if you can try me, I can't try you! See if you have the courage to really turn your face and rebel now!
