Chapter 370

On the fifth day, guhuadoro was also a little nervous.

Why?

Because the Duke of tulip in this city is so secure!

Lord lugao's cavalry army marched westward from under his eyes! Isn't this Dewey worried about his rear at all? Not in a hurry?

These days, he and he have a little fight, and he seems to be really not in a hurry. Every day, he sends a little people out to make a fight with him, and then everyone goes back to rest. Even to the last two days, he simply did not send troops out, and stayed on the wall waiting for his own attack. He tried several times, but he couldn't come out of the city

son of a gun!

According to common sense, Dewey should be more anxious than himself. He should be eager to eat himself, defeat his army, and then quickly send his troops to the rear.

Guhuadoro was more and more uneasy, and sent a small team of hundreds of scouts to try to get around Duwei's defense line and go to Duwei's rear to get information.

Unfortunately, Dewey sent out a large number of hot-air balloons in the sky and those hateful magicians flying all over the sky on broomsticks.

Even if the cavalry on the ground runs fast, it's always faster than others flying in the sky, isn't it? However, almost all of the scouts and cavalry sent out to inquire about the news were driven back by the other side, and guhuadoro lost many people. After all, most of the cavalry went west with general lugao, leaving guhuadoro with only a few cavalry. He will not continue to send scouts out to die.

And as time goes on, I'm in the military camp. And it's getting a little unstable.

Although the soldiers are still loyal, everyone is not a fool after all. Although the northwest army was in rebellion. After all, it's one thing to rebel, but it's another thing to stay here even if you know it's death.

Previously, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, it was said that Lord lugao took his cavalry to sweep the rear of Duke tulip, and then returned to the army to fight on both sides. Then we can occupy the military fortress here as a barrier, block the Imperial Army in the East, and then we can sit in the province of Desa, with allies in the grassland behind

This kind of lie can deceive people at first. It has stabilized the morale of the army.

But as time went on, many of the soldiers below became suspicious.

Guhuadoro himself has the belief that he will die and is ready to be a "qualified cannon fodder". But you're willing to die. It doesn't mean tens of thousands of soldiers are willing to die with you.

As time goes by, there is no news about the expected "return attack of Lord Lu Gao". All kinds of strange rumors began to grow in the army.

Some people say that "Lord lugao has abandoned us. He has taken cavalry into the grassland, leaving us two legged infantry to pawn the broken cannon fodder."

There is no doubt that this statement is true. However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, guhuadoro immediately severely punished those who spread rumors. Dozens of heads have been cut off and mounted on poles. It's very effective to warn the soldiers not to spread such rumors.

Besides, guhuadoro has been in the army all his life. He is calm and has a way of leading the army. With his ability and past prestige, he has stabilized the morale of the army.

Otherwise, if we let these tens of thousands of soldiers know that they have been abandoned and left behind as cannon fodder... Then guhuadoro will be torn to pieces by tens of thousands of angry and desperate soldiers in a moment!

Standing under the flagpole, he looked at the row of rumor spreading heads cut off high above. Guhuaduoluo sighed: I hope what you said is true. Lord lugao has really arrived at the grassland

Alas, it's six days. In six days, Kuaima Di's words, it should have passed through the province of Desa and entered the northwest corridor.

It's not these soldiers who are in danger now. These eight soldiers are easy to deceive, but the officers, the generals. They're not stupid. His own lies deceived the soldiers. But those officers have military qualities.

Guhuadoro could clearly feel that he was in the tent these two days. Some of the officers shot at themselves with a certain amount of gray in their eyes.

And guhuaduoluo himself is anxious day by day. Lord lugao, have you successfully broken through?!

But no matter how anxious guhuadoro is, he has no way at all now. The only thing he can do is to support here day by day according to the plan!

On the eighth day, the crucial moment has arrived!

The soldiers on the lookout tower in the barracks, looking at the distance to the East, screamed in horror, almost tumbled down from the lookout tower, and then ran to the tent

At noon, a battle flag appeared on the eastern horizon, and then I heard the sound of army marching in the distance, the sound of footsteps trampling on the earth, and the vibration of the earth could be heard from a few miles away. And the sound of horses' hoofs and wheels

After the dark figure appeared on the horizon, he saw the high flag and stabbed the northwest soldiers on the basis of their confidence!

That flag, everyone can see, is the northern storm corps! And the thorn flower king flag, is the King City guard army!!

More than 10000 elite cavalry from the north, led by Andrea of storm corps, came from the northeast and quickly entered the warning range of the northwest army. Instead of attacking immediately, they bypassed the northwest army's camp and ran all the way to the side of tulip family fortress. They stopped in the north of the Northwest army with a clamp, and then began to set up camp.

In the south, there are 20000 infantry of the guards of the Royal City, with distinctive armor. The pace is steady, one by one square array slowly open, far away in the northwest army camp behind to stay down, not in a hurry to start the camp.

Some veterans of the northwest army, at the risk of violating military discipline, climbed up the flagpole and looked at it from afar. Some experienced veterans who know how to knock at the door of the "lookout array" can probably guess the number of enemy areas coming according to the flag of the other side.

After they slide down the flagpole. The news of despair finally came out of the barracks!

The regular army of the empire is coming! There are at least 10000 cavalry and 20000 infantry. What's more, with the tulip family in the city, they just surrounded their army in the middle!

In the evening, the last fluke was broken.

In the south, a new army came again under the banner of bohandi, governor of nurin province. The number of troops was at least 30000, and a small part of them were cavalry.

This is the addition of an army. The northwest army was completely surrounded, and even the last gap was blocked.

All the soldiers of the northwest army understand: we are surrounded! And the enemy is many times more than himself.

At this time, even if "general Lu Gao's return to the army" is true, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for his own side to win. What's more, is "general Lu Gao's return to the army" true or false. Who can be sure?

The morale of the army began to waver. Guhuadoro cut off 100 people who chewed their tongues at one go, but they were unable to stabilize the morale of the army. He knows... It's time!

I've been here for eight days, and I've basically finished my plan. next step. That is, we should try our best to have a real war with the enemy, inflict heavy losses on the enemy as much as possible, and make the Empire lose troops and horses. We can't go west to estimate lugao who has entered the grassland

General lugao, I hope you are safe now.

Guhuaduoluo thought of this, coldly took a look at more than 100 corpses on the ground with their heads cut off, and then announced in a loud voice: "who's messing with our army's mind? Nonsense, cut them directly!! I can assure you. Now everything is going well, the enemy has been attracted by us! Marshal Lu Gao's cavalry is coming. At that time, it's time for us to catch all the enemy! "

How many people still believe this, guhuadoro does not know. But he knows that this is a critical moment. He immediately sent people to the warehouse Barracks at the back and carried out more than 20 large boxes. Then he worried a lot of officers and soldiers. There are more than 1000 people gathered around. Guhuadoro jumped into a box and drew out his sword. A sword was smashed on the box. With a click, a corner of the wooden box broke, and countless golden coins flowed out of the box.

Guhuadoro grabbed one, then released his finger, let the gold coin fall between his fingers, raised his head and roared: "this battle is very important! Ladies and gentlemen, you have won the battle. You have been promoted and become rich all your life! If you lose... Then I don't have to say! Lord Lu Gao has an order. If you go forward bravely, you will be rewarded! ample reward! Timid, kill!! Pass on our military order, fight a decisive battle tomorrow morning. Every soldier of the whole army will be rewarded with a kilo of meat and a pot of wine in each tent tonight! In addition, one month's salary will be given to each person

In any case, guhuadoro's approach has worked.

All of a sudden, there was a surge of emotion. Even some officers who had been shaken in their hearts could not help but warm up when they looked at the golden coins.

Gold coin! Who doesn't like the golden coin?

And ordinary soldiers, looking at their commander, made a promise, there are meat to eat, wine to drink, and pay more... Who is not happy?

Looking at the cheering soldiers around, guhuadoro was relieved.

But a bit of bitterness came out slowly.

Tomorrow... Do we have tomorrow?

He ordered his trusted officers to pay the salaries, and guhuadoro left quietly.

He first came to a huge tent near luxury after the military tent.

It's not other people who live here, but the "noble guests" of the northwest army and more than a dozen respected magicians.

Compared with the soldiers, these magicians did not cause any trouble for guhuadoro, although they were more difficult to serve. Some of them asked to drink fresh honey every day, while others asked that no one should disturb the 100 meters around their tent, so as not to disturb his magic experiment. Some magicians ask to send a living creature every day, including cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. Of course, if a big living person is sent in, he doesn't object.

Guhuadoro satisfied these "masters" one by one. In addition, these magicians do not care whether they are abandoned as "cannon fodder". Because they are magicians. It doesn't matter if they end up being used as cannon fodder. In the idea of these magicians, they were invited to help by Lu Gao of the northwest army. At the end of the day, they would help him fight a battle. As for winning or losing, they didn't care. As long as they made efforts, they would return Lu Gao's human feelings. If they were in danger, they would leave and fly away, There will be no danger. They are noble magicians! Lugao can only invite them, but can't drive them. Moreover, it doesn't matter if you know that lugao is rebellious. Magicians have immunity from the law. At that time, as long as you leave and go to the magic trade union to make a statement, as in the past, the Empire will not pursue the responsibility of the magicians. He is still a class above the law. Therefore, they won't give guhuadoro any trouble until the last moment. Guhuadoro came to greet these gentlemen. For the first time, he was annoyed by the soldiers with unstable morale. On the contrary, he felt that these arrogant magicians he used to hate were so cute. At least they were against being left here as cannon fodder. After greeting these magicians, guhuadoro carefully told them that there would be a real war, hoping to get their help. With the promise of the magicians, guvardoro left. He could not help admiring Dewey. I've long heard that Duke tulip has many magicians under his command, and... He really obeys his orders. He doesn't want to serve these guys as if he were a master here. Guhuadoro returned to his tent, and his guards still strictly carried out his orders. No one was allowed to go near his tent. After entering the tent, guhuadoro stood outside the cage of Sebastian tower, looking at the little general squatting in the cage like a wild animal. The major general squatted there, sobbing in a low voice, holding his hair in his hands, poor fellow. Guvardoro took out a wine bottle, threw it into the cage and threw a piece of cooked beef into it. Looking at this young general who had been outstanding before, squatting there like a barbarian, grasping the beef and eating, guhuadoro sighed softly“ Sebastian, tomorrow, it's over. At that time, I will give you a sword and take you to the battlefield. You have become like this. At that time, I hope you can die on the battlefield with dignity. "
