Law of the Devil Chapter 363: [Tired]
Chapter 363 [Tired]
The contents of these four letters are almost the same. Except for the different names of the recipients, the contents of the four letters are almost the same.
First of all, with a humble and respectful tone, he praised the king as "the great prairie master", and then showed his determination to lead all his allegiance. Finally, it was agreed that on the day of the decisive battle, he would lead a 40,000 erlang iron rider, enter from the side of the battlefield, join the battle, and serve the great king! !! At the same time, in order to attack the enemy unexpectedly on the battlefield and be caught off guard, please ask the great king to keep a secret. After defeating the enemy in Japan, he must bow down in front of the king ...
The signature at the end of this letter is the son of the slave girl, Saladin, who has always been despised by several princes.
If it is only Saladin's signature, I am afraid the four princes may not believe it. But the problem is that after Saladin's "Investment Integrity" was in hand, four people received another letter at the same time! !!
And this letter made all four "Prairie Kings" have to be fooled!
This is an autograph from Hammuye. Like the previous one, the letters received by the four princes this time are actually the same.
Han Muye used a sincere tone in the letter to say that he had not accepted your call when he was in the king's court, but left with people instead of acts of fear and defection. After all, if you have a small tribe, the population is only 30,000, and the military strength is only a few thousand, it will not help much. Your own departure is actually to save strength, but also to find a strong support for you!
And now. He had already convinced Saladin, the youngest prince. Saladin has expressed his willingness to rely on you together with me. I will join the army with him, and there will be tens of thousands of troops. In this way, you can be of great help.
Wait until the day of the decisive battle, and I will bring soldiers and horses from the side of the battlefield with Saladin, and then ...
After receiving this handwritten letter from Hammuye, the four princes were really fooled.
Who is Hammuye? It was his own uncle and his father's brother. In the royal court, he also had a great personal relationship with the princes.
No one believes that Hammuye will harm himself ... Moreover, no one thinks that Hammuye will "trust" Saladin. After all, Hammuye is the true noble prince! And Saladin ... it was just a female slave-born kid, a bastard, who came to this day with the flattery of his father! Huh ...
And, what must be mentioned is the end of Hammuye's letter, which states a little more!
"Dear King. Although I think Saladin agrees to help us. But we can't fully believe in this little hybrid. I will help the King to monitor him carefully ... But my strength is limited, it is really difficult Effectively restrained him, so please send some people to assist me. Do n’t need a lot, just give me another five thousand soldiers, and I can stare at this guy firmly, if he dares to move a little. I can ... "
It is this last passage that impressed the four princes.
Every one of them is overjoyed. It is indeed an idea from our think tank prince in the king's court! Huh, that **** boy is probably unreliable! Moreover, my uncle only needs 5,000 people, only 5,000 people, and he can still squeeze himself out! Staring at that kid, he would have to send 30,000 to 40,000 people! Thus. But it's worth it.
Although my own strength is also very tense, but crowding out 5,000 people, I can barely do it.
So, after receiving the "secret letter", the four local "grassland kings" dreamed that they could get the support of Saladin and Hamuye, and had to agree to Hamuye's request.
Three princes immediately ordered the separation of 5,000 men. Quietly left the distance of his camp overnight. And the fourth prince. There was really no extra troops, he simply ordered a small tribe who had committed himself. The whole child was sent out.
The letter and address of Saladin Hamuye ’s letter to the four princes are different. So the scene appeared:
In the next three days, four different times, four different locations. After the four soldiers arrived at the designated contact point, they all met the "loyal" Prince Hammuye and his local horses.
Then ... waiting for these local guys is the only fate: first, he was deceived by Hamuye and he was not prepared, then in this place that had been ambushed by Saladin, heavy soldiers besieged a bird that could not fly out. In the end, they laid down their weapons and could only accept their destiny and surrender and be reorganized!
Hammuye just has to run four places and perform four plays in three days.
And Saladin didn't cost a single soldier, but only used a letter to get more than 20,000 men!
Even Hamuye, known as the "think tank," admires this wild and bold idea.
But he didn't know that this idea was not something Saladin could think of.
After completing this plan, Saladin secretly met with Alpha. Facing this gloomy prairie man, although he didn't like this guy, but because of his loyalty to Dewey, he still fulfilled his mission outstandingly.
"Master Duke asked me to tell you that this strategy for you is the last time he helped you, and the rest of the future will depend on you. We will not give you any free help, Starting today, any help will come at a price. "
I don't know that I have "lost" the four "Prairie Kings" of 5,000 men and are still dreaming. They believe that they have occupied the strength with the support of the Hamuye and Saladin coalitions. Out of advantages.
When the day of the decisive battle arrives, the reality will defeat their illusions!
Four princes, watched by wolves and tigers on the prairie, finally made up their minds to fight! Because they can no longer hold on, they must defeat their brothers as fast as possible, and then be strong and victorious. Talent may be submissive to the tribal tribe.
This is the only way.
So, this morning, the Quartet's men and horses gathered on this prairie, the drums of war beating, the horns sounded, the cavalry polished their scimitars, and the horse's nose sprayed with white gas, disturbed Kicking the hoof ...
Xue Liang's machete. Under the sun, a golden light shone.
It's ridiculous that the four princes are looking at the side of the battlefield at the same time ... waiting for their "strange soldiers".
At noon, when the sun shone overhead, there was a faint burst of horseshoes from the side of the battlefield, and then. Above the horizon, there was a large swath of dust. I don't know how many cavalrymen are coming. The dust that covers the sky is no doubt. Stimulated the confidence of the four prairie kings!
Also, before the dust, a team of cavalry was running, and they were holding the banner. It is exactly Prince Saladin and Prince Hammuye! !!
The most ridiculous and ironic scene happened at this moment.
The four prairie kings, almost at the same time, pointed at the dust flying in the distance, then turned around, and shouted loudly at their subordinates with a blushing confidence: " Look! I brave children, do you see those in the distance! Those who were brought to us by Prince Hammuye! Our reinforcements have arrived! Victory belongs to us now! Your machete. Let's attack the enemy !!! "
Although there are some people who think that the flying dust is very dynamic ... but the sound of horseshoes from a distance is not as much as expected. But at this tense moment, no one has time to think about these issues.
So ... the trumpets sounded, the soldiers raised their machete, urged the warhorse, and began to fight without hesitation ...
"You said, would they be fooled?" Saladin smiled at Hamuye, who was next to him.
Hammuye thought about it. He immediately said: "Yes. My lord. And ... I admire your strategy, huh. With only a thousand cavalry, the horses dragged to the ground with twigs tied to the ground, and that's it Earth dust ... They must now think that we are dispatched by the army to help them. "
Saladin smiled gloomily: "So ... now, let's get our horses on board and get ready to go."
On the grassland, the four horses and horses totaled more than 100,000, and they have hit each other fiercely, like a huge meat grinder, crushing all life that can be involved! !!
Whistling, killing, shouting, screaming ...
When the battle went on for a while, the four "Prairie Kings" only found out in anger that their "reinforcement" who had high hopes did not join the battle! The news of the obituary came back, so that the four kings, almost angry, vomited blood from the horseback and passed out!
These so-called reinforcements come, but there are only a thousand people ... the sky dust is brought up by the branches tied behind the horse. And when the battle started, they ... all ran away! !!
"Damn Saladin !!! Damn Hammuye !!!"
Still, the four prairie kings issued the most vicious curse in their army at the same time. But they still made an inconsistent decision.
It is impossible to stop the battle! The current situation, whoever flinches will die!
The four kings, at the same time, ordered their last reserve team to rush up!
Life and death, at this moment! !!
Where is Saladin's horse at this time?
He sent four teams, each team is 5,000. And these 5,000 men, respectively, put on the costumes of the 5,000 men and horses sent by several brothers at first, playing their banner, and then indifferently fighting on the battlefield, they approached the four quietly. Grassland King's Base Camp ...
The command under Saladin is simple.
"Fast! Everything must be fast! If you can grab it, grab it! If you can't take it, burn it out! One leg is a blow, no one is allowed to delay!"
The four princes who have put in all their decisive battles, the empty base camp, are exposed to the minions of Saladin. This time, he decided to put his life's hatred into this battle! !!
Roland Empire winter in 963 years.
Winter's footsteps are coming.
Du Wei is sitting in the Governor's Mansion in Loulan City. Received the last secret report on the prairie. This is also the last letter sent by Alpha. Subsequently, Alpha will also end his two-year prairie career and return to Desa province.
In the decisive battle of the four "Prairie Kings", after Saladin released four brothers and one big pigeon, Saladin sent a surprise attack on the camp of four people, plundering a lot of materials and wealth, and even plundering Quite a slave population. At last he went away.
On the battlefield, the fierce battle continued until dark. The duel of the four beasts drained the last drop of blood. In the end, the two princes died on the spot, and one saw that the situation had gone and they had to leave the battlefield with their remnants. When he fled, there were less than 6,000 cavalry left, and most of them were wounded.
The last "victor" was the eldest son of the former prairie king. Unfortunately, the winner also paid a huge price ... After he finally counted the results. However, it was found that, after the addition of prisoners of war, less than 30,000 people were left in their full strength.
And ... his base was also copied by Saladin.
Thirty thousand people ... defeated by thirty thousand remnants. What other king?
So, in the dark, the "victor" set a fire, burned the battlefield, burned his "king flag", and then took the people and left in a southeast direction.
The only winner of this war is Saladin!
His strength has expanded a level. After the war. He already has a population of nearly 100,000 and has 60,000 iron rides!
This strength, on the grassland, is already considered a first-class tribe.
Also, the clever Saladin firmly remembers the opinion in the letter that Du Wei once wrote to him: Slowly be king!
From beginning to end, he didn't erect the king's banner, and he didn't stand on his own as the prairie king. But with his army. Step by step, devouring everything that can be found around, weaker than the snobbery. Then taking advantage of the disintegration of Wang Ting, the forces in the southwest of the grassland were briefly vacuumed. Rapidly growing his own capital ...
When winter comes, Saladin already has more than 100,000 troops! It has become one of the most powerful leaders on the grassland!
And the last two of his brothers, one who fled with thousands of remnants at first, lost his prestige after being defeated and was killed by the rebels.
The other big prince took 30,000 horses south, but was annexed by another big tribe, and the big prince's head was also cut off.
In the winter, on the grassland, several large tribes issued a joint announcement, asking all tribal leaders to bring people to the "Wang Ting" site, hold a grassland tribe conference, and re-elect a new grassland king.
Saladin received the news, but just sneered, and tore up the letter at will.
Then Saladin smiled, showing his white teeth, and looked at Uncle Hamuye next to the tent, sneer: "The Duke of Roland tulips once told me not to believe in any so-called 'inferred king' The real king is not inferred! Hum! To get true allegiance, it is impossible to do such a boring thing as 'referral'! The only way is to use your machete to conquer! Complete the enemy completely Conquer, kill those who disobey, and finally, the remaining people become your own people, and then you can get true allegiance.
"So ... we're not going to this conference?" Hammuye asked.
"Why, why not?" Saladin said: "You go as my representative. But remember, we only recommend others to be kings, and we are definitely inappropriate."
After reading the last letter, Du Wei handed it to Philip around him. Philip watched it with a smile, then he nodded: "Master Duke, it seems ... in the next ten years, we don't have to worry about the threat of the grassland."
Du Wei nodded and agreed with Philip.
"In the past, the royal family was too powerful to calm the entire grassland, so the grassland talents would be quietly united under the royal court. But now, the most powerful royal family has disintegrated. The remaining large tribes, even if they are The largest tribe is far from enough to calm the entire grassland. There is no overwhelming advantage. Therefore, even if someone is elected as the king, he is still in an unstable position, and soon there will be new challengers standing Come out and set off a new civil war. According to our calculations, the civil war of the prairie people will probably last at least seven or eight years, and there is also an ambitious guy Saladin. The time may be longer. So within ten years, We don't have to worry about these prairie people. "
From the beginning, Du Wei never thought about conquering the grasslands. He knew that with the current state of the empire, it would not be possible to do this, neither in strength nor in time.
Du Wei never thought of sending troops into the grasslands. Even if the prairie people were greatly injured, even if Du Wei could win the war, "victory" and "complete conquest" are completely different.
It is easy to win the war. It is necessary to conquer the grasslands and conquer such a people. Definitely not something that can be done in the short term. In that case, they will drag their army into a quagmire.
So, Du Wei's goal is to get the grasslands into chaos. Severe civil strife and years of civil war have made the prairie people torn apart, and their strength has been greatly damaged! !! In this way, Dewey can concentrate all his attention with peace of mind to deal with more important enemies.
"So, we can let the small army stationed in the Northwest Corridor evacuate back." Philip laughed: "For the past six months, we have only transported water every day. We have consumed too much."
"Withdraw ... half." Du Wei thought for a moment: "The border cannot be fortified, leaving half is enough."
In the afternoon, Du Wei walked out of the study. He rubbed his sore temple and sighed long.
Looking at the sky, it seems that it is going to snow.
He didn't bring any followers, straight through the corridor, and went to the other side of the castle. Came to a room upstairs.
In the room. There was a melodious sound of the piano.
Pushing the door open is still a few beautiful girls. Those who are dancing and sitting in the middle ...
Du Wei suddenly felt a little stunned, and sighed after he saw it clearly.
Ai Lu, this female assassin in the big snow mountain, wearing a long dress of Roland's woman, sitting in the middle, even her playing posture, is so much like the beautiful girl who is as quiet as moonlight.
Du Wei walked into the room with both hands, and then let everyone out, leaving only Elw.
Ai Lu's expression was very gloomy. She even looked at Du Wei with a provocative look.
In fact, in the months after Han Yue's death, her attitude towards Dewey has always been the same, but Dewey did not embarrass her, even if her troubles were even more serious, Dewey just shut her down. Get up for two days.
"You ... what are you doing here again?" Ai Lu stared at Du Wei: "Are you going to send someone to die again this time?"
Du Wei shook his head, then his hand stretched out from behind, and a light transfigured in his hand. He had taken something out of the magic ring and held it in his hand.
This is a small accordion, with crystal strings. Obviously, everybody is carefully scrubbed and spotless.
"You play the piano very well." Du Wei said gently: "So, this piano is for you."
Ai Lu said nothing.
Du Wei's next sentence made Ai Lu suddenly shake.
"This piano ... was left by her. This piano has been in my hands since she left."
Ai Lu took the piano and flicked her fingers across the strings.
Due to this, Du Wei went to the window, looked into the distance, and turned his back on Elro: "Play for me."
Ai Lu seems to want to oppose, but when the words come to her mouth, but don't know what, it becomes: "what do you want to hear!"
Du Wei was silent for a while, then she said, "She used to play any kind of music, you can play it."
The soft and harmonious strings sounded, and the smooth tune fell into Dewey's ear, and he sighed.
His eyes fell far away into the distance.
The direction he is looking at is north! !!
The dark clouds on the horizon are very low ...
"It seems to be snowing soon," Du Wei murmured, as if whispering: "One year has passed. One year has passed ... Two years left ... Time is passing so fast, only left Next two years. "
Although this guy is facing away from himself, he can't see his expression, but Ailu obviously feels that the younger Duke, who is more and more majestic on weekdays, is exhausted in his voice at this moment!
Yeah, tired.
It's the kind of exhaustion that seems to hollow out your heart.
"Two years ... what does the two years he meant mean. And ... he is like this, want the wind, the rain, what else makes him so worried, so tired ... "Ai Lu's mind was thinking quietly.
