Chapter 372

No matter how hard guhuadoro tries, no matter how strong his ability and experience, his morale will inevitably gradually collapse.

Most importantly, he was not the real commander of the northwest army. If lugao was here, he might be able to gain the loyalty of the soldiers by virtue of his status as the leader of the northwest army and his many years of kindness and prestige. But guhuadoro didn't have this ability. He was just a general. In the northwest army, he didn't dare to bribe the army. Otherwise, he would be suspected by lugao? Therefore, the soldiers would not die for him, and his own troops, originally cavalry, had long been taken away by lugao.

It's not only a reward for wine and meat, but also a temptation for promotion and wealth. This method, once or twice, may be effective, but if it is used too much, it will be useless.

Isn't it? Most of the soldiers are old men, but they are not fools after all. You get a small reward in two days and a big reward in three days, which makes you feel strange. And surrounded by the enemy, the expected "general Lu Gao's return to the army" is always the moon in the water, but you, the leader of the army, only know that money and official positions are used to coax us... Shit, we really think we are fools.

On the evening of the tenth day, guhuadoro got the news, which made him sleepless all night.

There are deserters!!

Many people have doubts about the current situation. On that night, a small team of soldiers took turns to patrol, but they ran away directly. When other night watchmen found out, they immediately shot and killed more than a dozen people on the spot. Three of them got back, but two or three of them ran away.

This event started to chill guhuadoro's heart. Even when dealing with these deserters, he was a little absent-minded and said "kill" casually. I went back alone.

In the evening, guhuaduoluo thought carefully for a long time, and finally made up his mind: don't continue to delay! Tomorrow, in any case, the whole army will fight a decisive battle and take the initiative to attack! Now we have a big fight immediately. At least we can cause some damage to the enemy and make them lose some fighting power. If you wait a few more. I'm afraid our Northwest army will not have much combat power left.

Unfortunately, when it was just dawn, guvardoro came out of the tent and gave the order to everyone to prepare for dinner. At noon, he launched an attack... The order was only passed down, and within an hour, Dewey shot again.

This time, duvier gave guhuadoro a blow. It's the real killer!

When the sun just rose, the tulip family fortress in the distance suddenly gave out a whistling sound. Then, in the surprised eyes and exclamations of many soldiers in the northwest army camp, dozens of things were lost in the sky.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. About 100 meters outside the northwest army camp.

"Catapult"!!! Everyone separate, find a place to cover The experienced officers and veterans immediately raised their voices and yelled, and all the soldiers in the barracks who heard them immediately scattered.

But then the shouting man felt that his ass was severely kicked. He fell for a moment, turned around and was about to scold him when he saw his landlord, Lord guhuadoro, with a look of "resentment" on his face and said, "are you out of your mind? Even if it's a catapult, will the catapult in the city come to our camp? You're an idiot, aren't you? "

With that, guhuaduoluo immediately cheered to the soldiers behind him: "send a hundred people out! Get those things back for me

Soon, a hundred soldiers rushed out and ran to the battlefield. He brought back the piece of things thrown out of the city by the catapult. But at the sight of these things, guhuadoro was silly!!

Armor!

It's all armor! There are scratches, bloodstains, and even a lot of broken armor... But the problem is that all these armor are the style of Northwest cavalry! Lord lugao took away 70000 cavalry, wearing this kind of armor!!

What does Dewey want to do when he throws these things out? Want to upset my army?

Make me think Lord lugao's westward cavalry is finished?

One of the officers saw these things. Someone had exclaimed, "ah! It's our Northwest cavalry armor! Brothers... Are the brothers going west already... "

Plop!

He's not finished yet. Guhuadoro went up and kicked the officer in the heart, scolding: "you are a pig brain, aren't you? General Lu Gao's 70000 iron cavalry!! Now the tulip family's troops are all in the city! How can general lugao fail! We need to defeat 70000 cavalry. Dewey, does he have so many troops?! Fool

Many soldiers and officers around him nodded when they heard what he said.

Yes, to defeat 70000 elite cavalry, the opponent's strength must have at least this number of elite cavalry! Although his tulip Duke's men claim to have 100000 allied forces (tulip family and Rowling family), most of them are new forces after all, and there are not as many cavalry as 70000! It is impossible to defeat the iron hoof led by our general lugao.

yes! These armor must be forged by the other side, which will disturb our morale! It must be!

"Ha ha ha! Dewey, you are too naive to forge dozens of sets of broken armor. Do you want to deceive my army Guhuadoro laughed on purpose.

But then, he really couldn't laugh.

Dozens of sets of armor can be forged... What about hundreds? Thousands of sets?

Not enough? What about hundreds of prisoners of war??

Almost all the catapults in the fortress city did not stop. For more than an hour, I didn't know how much armor was thrown from the prisoners of war. With a wave of his big hand, the gate opened, and five hundred tulip cavalry rushed out on their horses, flying across the battlefield, leaving the armor behind them on the ground. Then he turned around and ran back.

For a time, in the middle of the battlefield, actually put at least thousands of armor!!

Guvardoro can't laugh, he can't even say a word!!

Even if Duwei was crazy, he made thousands of armor... Has Lord lugao really been defeated?!

Fake! It must be fake! With the financial resources and cunning of Duke tulip, it's not difficult to forge a thousand sets of armor!!!

Guhuadoro tried to convince himself, but then the gate opened again. More than 100 tulip family soldiers came out of the city hula, and then the sword escorted hundreds of dejected prisoners of war out of the city. These were the captured cavalry of the northwest army, including two commanders. One by one, the prisoners were driven out with ropes tied in their hands, as if pulling a string of sugar gourds. Behind them, the tulip family soldiers were threatened by the sword. They ran from the bottom of the city to the northwest army camp.

While running, there was a shout for fear that someone would shoot an arrow.

Guhuadoro's face turned pale. At the moment, he finally collapsed in his heart, looking at the hundreds of people running to the battlefield. He was about to order all the archers to be shot to death, but when he looked around, many officers, generals and soldiers were behind him. They were all hopeless and pale. Guhuadoro knew that it was impossible to kill people now.

He could only sigh and wave to send someone out to meet him.

"Take these hundreds of people back, take care of them carefully, and send someone to guard them. There is no order from me. They are not allowed to contact with others! " Guhuaduoluo sighed. He just gave such an order almost numbly, but even he knew that the order was meaningless.

At this time, on the wall of the fortress in the distance, a flaming tulip flag was raised. Du Wei, dressed in armor, climbed up the wall and then laughed. Take a deep breath. Driven by his magic position, his words were word by word. Clearly spread throughout the battlefield, the voice reverberated.

"Guhuadoro"!!! I have already defeated your western cavalry of the northwest army! 70000 troops disintegrated and fell from the height of Shandong. They were either killed or captured!! Your northwest army is finished! You are also a leader. Don't you cherish the lives of soldiers! Now that you have no chance, why don't you surrender early and let these soldiers have a way to live!! In the name of Duke tulip, I would like to assure you that those who surrender will not die! "

At this moment, the hundreds of prisoners have entered the northwest army camp. When Du Wei's words spread all over the field, thousands of Northwest army rushed to the camp. Some people can't wait to ask the prisoners for confirmation. However, under the order of guhuadoro, his trusted soldiers were holding weapons around and yelling, no one was allowed to get close to the prisoners, and no one was allowed to speak, so they were escorted to the back.

At this moment, the situation in the barracks was very intense, and thousands of people rushed to guhuadoro's account to verify. Guhuadoro ordered to be suppressed. Under the strict military law, the soldiers were gradually dispersed... But even the law enforcement soldiers did not dare to look at the faces of their colleagues.

In everyone's heart, they all believed the contents of tulip Duke's cry.

General lugao, really defeated?! 70000 cavalry, fall apart?!

That night, another desertion happened in the northwest army, but this time, guhuadoro was too lazy to take care of it. He knew that it was irreparable.

Morale has dropped to the lowest point. When counting the number of people the next day, more than 1000 people were missing. When guhuadoro inspected, he could feel the faint anger in the eyes of the soldiers shooting at him, and many of them were numb.

But on this day, Dewey and the imperial army still did not attack.

Guhuadoro has understood that Duwei's tactics are completely offensive. The main cavalry of the westward advance has completely failed. The news has spread all over his barracks. The soldiers have no fighting spirit, and there has even been a large-scale desertion. Dewey is in no hurry to fight now. I'm afraid this guy doesn't even want to fight! Just wait two days, and your army will collapse and mutiny.

I see, I see! A few days ago, Dewey didn't fight with himself. That is to say, he procrastinated and destroyed the fighting spirit and morale of his soldiers!!

"My Lord, do we really not attack?" Robert looked at Dewey and said, "those armor and prisoners of war have been thrown out for two days! The morale of the other side has collapsed. Now as long as we go out of town to fight, they will collapse immediately. Such a good opportunity... Why do you... "

Duvet sighed, shook his head and said nothing. Next to him, general long Barton frowned and said, "boss, what else can I wait for now? Look at the appearance of these northwest armies. If I take two or three thousand cavalry out and rush for a while, I can kill them in a moment! " Du Wei looked at the general and said with a smile, "Longbottom, Longbottom, you didn't understand the rules of officialdom. Now it seems that you haven't learned to be smart." Dewey stood up, pointed to the distance, and said with a smile, "you see, now the stormtroopers, the castle guards, governor Bohan's army are out there! In total, there are nearly 100000 people. However, in the war to pacify the northwest, we have killed the main cavalry of lugao and eaten his 70000 elite iron cavalry. We can't get away with this huge contribution! How many years has our empire not fought? Now those people outside the city... No matter the generals and soldiers in that army, they all hope that this final battle can earn more credit!! To put it in a bad way, we all ate the meat. Let's leave the last bit of soup to others. Otherwise, you'll eat alone. Hehe... Aren't you afraid to offend people? " Offending people? Dewey looked at each other under his hand... Our Duchess, when are you afraid of offending people“ Since we are fighting together and we are all friendly forces, we have to give them some advantages. Otherwise, it is hard to avoid being hated by others, and it will not be worth the loss if we make some mistakes in the future. What's more... What's good for us if we beat down the last 45000 northwest infantry outside? " Dewey asked, several people were silent.
