[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

In the fourth year of the Empire 960, February [-]nd was a day named "Civil War Breakout Day" by later generations.

After receiving the order to change defense from the empire, Lu Gao, the commander of the Northwest Army, quickly replied that he accepted the order, and under the order that Lu Gao was urged to return to the imperial capital to report on his duties, he really took it with him. Only 200 people went to the imperial capital.Lu Gao and his party boarded a boat at the pier upstream of the Lancang Canal and went down the river.When receiving this news, many people in the imperial capital breathed a sigh of relief, as if there was no need to fight.

After all, if Lu Gao came to the imperial capital alone, it would represent submission. In this case, the empire would have no reason to kill a meritorious general.And the thoughts deep in everyone's hearts, if you can not fight, of course it is better not to fight!Even Prince Chen hopes to resolve the Northwest affairs peacefully - the empire's military strength can be preserved as much as possible, and the matter of criminals is always a sharp knife hanging in Prince Chen's heart.

But when Prince Chen was sitting in the conference hall, facing many of his confidants, looking at all kinds of information, after thinking for a long time, he still issued an order to the troops on the northwest front: close surveillance, If there is a change, shoot and kill!

The old prime minister, Robeschell, was stunned on the spot. He obviously disagreed with Prince Chen's decision, "Your Highness," the old prime minister tried to persuade Prince Chen, "Since Lu Gao has already planned to come to the imperial capital alone, he must still hug him." With the idea of ​​surrendering, and the Northwest Army is also following our orders to switch defenses, isn't such an order too unreasonable..."

Prince Chen himself actually agrees with Rob Schell's statement, but these days, he has received more than a dozen urgent documents from Du Wei one after another, trying to persuade him not to relax his vigilance against Lu Gao and the Northwest Army.After thinking over and over again, Prince Chen decided to follow Du Wei's opinion, "It doesn't matter," Prince Chen said indifferently, "If he wants to surrender, he won't be shaken by this kind of thing, if he's just plotting against us..."

A sneer sneered on Prince Chen's lips, "Then we also need to let him know that we shouldn't use such a stupid way if we want to deceive people." After a series of military deployments, Prince Chen hesitated for a while and then gave another order, "If there is a war in the Northwest this time, all war dispatches will be decided by Duke Tulip." After saying this, Prince Chen threw down the pole His own confidant, holding the official document sent by Du Weixin in his hand, left directly.

The people who are stupid in place look at me and I look at you, and they don't speak for a long time.At this moment, Robeschell understood why His Royal Highness the Prince Regent's original peace of mind was shaken again. Although he was old but still very sharp-eyed, he took a look at the Tulip family emblem on the official document held by His Royal Highness the Prince Regent. Clearly.Robeschell reassessed the position of the Duke of Tulip in the heart of the regent. If it were not for the consideration that the young duke is also a real genius, perhaps many people in the empire would already want to impeach him." Confused Jun Meishang".

However, these are not too big a problem for the old Prime Minister Rob Schell. Although he is old, he is very open-minded. As long as His Royal Highness the Regent of their empire does not do some stupid things because of Duke Tulip, then both of them belong to the The people of the top figures in the empire want to have some private contacts... what does it have to do with him?

Rob Schell went home in a good mood.

In fact, of course, it is impossible for Lu Gao to be captured without a fight. The "Lu Gao" who went to the imperial capital is just a substitute for him.It was only a logistics army of the Northwest Army who was sent to change defense with the Storm Legion. They also took out a large amount of supplies and ordnance as bait, dragging Andre of the Storm Legion.Lu Gao also sent [-] troops to pretend to attack Nulin Province. Although Bohan had strictly guarded against the possible rebellion of the Northwest Army according to the order of Prince Chen, he lacked military experience. captured Bohan's army and the Royal Guards.

And the real main cavalry force of the Northwest Army is preparing to march straight into Desa Province.Lu Gao went to Du Wei's territory at the beginning, broke through the Desa province, and then entered the grassland. Naturally, the empire could not control them from now on.But Lu Gao did not pay attention to Du Wei's Tulip Army from the bottom of his heart. After all, in his opinion, Du Wei's army was formed in too short a time, and it was not worth mentioning at all compared with the Northwest Army.

But the fact made Lu Gao suffer a big somersault.

Du Wei spent a lot of thought on forming his air force "Decepticon Squad". This kind of thinking is far more dedicated than in his previous life, because he knows that the air force will be a winning point for the empire to face the invasion of criminals in the future!Therefore, his air force has been built much better than in his previous life. After a few face-to-face efforts, Lu Gao's cavalry suffered a big loss.

Lu Gao was dragged into a fierce battle in mid-air by Rodriguez and Hussein, two holy-rank powerhouses. It is worth mentioning that Hussein has changed another disguise now, the purpose of course is not to be caught by the people of the temple. If you recognize him, you must know that he is still wanted by the whole continent for killing the previous pope.

Lu Gao's northwest cavalry were naturally flustered in the face of the violent bombardment in the sky, and what was even more tragic was that when Du Wei's air force finally retreated and the tulip family's cavalry entered the battle, the northwest army thought they could vent their anger. Unexpectedly, there was another burst of bombardment from ballistas and explosives!Faced with such a long-range attack, the cavalry of the Northwest Army finally lost their position and began to sprint forward regardless of the rules. Then they were attacked by the elite [-] cavalry of the Tulip family headed by General Longbottom.

General Longbottom led the cavalry to charge back and forth three times in the Northwest Army. Along the way, his saber had long been cut. After charging back and forth three times, the Northwest Army finally completely collapsed.Almost at the same time, the remaining Northwest Army shouted, and suddenly countless people ran away shouting, even the officers couldn't suppress it—or some officers even fled together!

At this time, Longbottom immediately stopped his horse, looked at the corpses scattered all over the place, and the Northwest Army who were still barely resisting, raised his voice, and shouted loudly with all his strength, " Surrender and avoid death!" His men and horses immediately followed suit.

In the end, the Northwest Army surrendered and those who fled for their lives fled.

The results of this battle can be described as extremely brilliant!A total of 9000 iron cavalry of the Northwest Army were all defeated by Du Wei in the first battle!The loss of both sides is really hard to believe.Of the [-] cavalry of the Northwest Army, more than [-] were killed, [-] were injured, and more than [-] surrendered, half of whom were wounded.As for Du Wei's losses, among the [-] most elite cavalry under Longbottom's command, only less than [-] were left standing after the war, and all of them were injured. Two hundred ballistas were rushed to the ground. The Northwest Army in front of them all chopped down as if venting their anger.

To put it simply, Du Wei defeated the most elite Northwest cavalry with less than 6000 casualties.

After Du Wei learned the number, he didn't say anything, just sighed lightly, but didn't say much, but ordered all the hot air balloons to land in the city and not take off.The follow-up infantry of the Northwest Army will arrive soon. These infantry are not as mobile as the cavalry, but they have brought a lot of supplies, and even accompanied by magicians. Naturally, there will be no shortage of archers. Continue to release the hot air balloons, then It is the target given to the other party.

However, Du Wei couldn't help sighing after knowing that Guhuaduoluo, who led the infantry of the Northwest Army, had set up camp in front of the fortress and planned to fight a protracted battle, he was a loyal man after all.Guhuaduoluo naturally didn't know that the cavalry led by Lu Gao had been wiped out. After all, people like Du Wei who dug holes in their own rear were really rare. The battlefields were separated by more than 100 miles. Communication is underdeveloped, so it's strange that Guhuaduoluo knew about it.

Du Wei made up his mind to still use Guhuaduoluo's army to train his own army. Although Guhuaduoluo used the drag formula, he would not use much effort to attack the city, but he would still be able to train his troops in this way. casualties.But when Du Wei thought of the invasion of criminals two years later, the unbearable feeling in his heart disappeared immediately. It is better to have casualties now than to face those fierce criminals with a group of recruits two years later!

On the eighth day of the stalemate, the infantry of the Northwest Army had already become unstable. Guhuaduoluo was willing to die for Lu Gao, but it did not mean that the tens of thousands of troops were also willing to die like this.Although Guhuaduoluo tried his best to appease the morale of the army, it could not last long after all.At this time, the Storm Legion in the north and the Royal Guards finally arrived.

They united with the army of the Tulip family and surrounded the Northwest Army to the center. In the evening, Bohan, the governor of Nulin Province, also arrived. With the addition of this army, the Northwest Army was completely surrounded. down any gaps.

But this is not over yet, when Guhuaduoluo thought that this would be the final decisive battle, he was played by Du Wei again!He accepted the letter of challenge and replied, but... Du Wei didn't even send out a single soldier, and played a game of bouncing tickets openly and aboveboard!Guhuaduoluo was tossed and tossed by Du Wei for several days, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

In the end, no matter how hard Guhuatuoluo tried, no matter how strong his ability and experience in leading troops, morale would inevitably collapse gradually.Originally, Guhuaduoluo was not the real commander of the Northwest Army, Lu Gao, so he couldn't really make the soldiers swear allegiance to him to the death, and his original lineage army was also cavalry, and was taken away by Lu Gao long ago.

Du Wei saw the right moment, and at the most appropriate time, he threw out dozens of sets, hundreds of sets, and thousands of sets of armor of the previously defeated Northwest cavalry, and even released hundreds of prisoners of the Northwest Army. The trick of disrupting the army's morale is incisively and vividly used.But Du Wei didn't take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to attack. Even if [-] cavalry could take down these tens of thousands of people, he still didn't do so.

Du Wei deliberately left these people to other troops to deal with. He didn't intend to make his military exploits too dazzling this time. The dazzling made Chen feel taboo against him-that's really bad.Du Wei had even thought about it, and after he went back, he would let the factory process it quickly, make more hot air balloons, and give them to Chen as gifts.

After figuring this out, Du Wei sent people out of the city to surround him from the outside, and sent his own letter directly to the barracks of the Storm Legion and the barracks of Governor Bohan, expressing his intentions in the letter, and then It is very easy to entrust the next battle situation to them.After the leaders of the several armies expressed their pleasure in cooperating with each other, the siege against the infantry of the Northwest Army finally began, and the result naturally did not exceed everyone's expectations.

The Northwest Army was completely defeated.
