Law of the Devil Chapter 373: [On the road]
Chapter 373 [On the Road]
If you want to directly disintegrate the hearts of these Northwest Army cannon fodder, Dewey does not have to strip the captives of the captives, and spends human and material resources to throw them outside.
If he is cruel, he directly cuts off the heads of hundreds of prisoners of war and throws them down the city, which will immediately cause Gu Huadoluo's army to collapse.
But Du Wei didn't do that, not just because he was not cruel, and more importantly, he didn't want to die too many people. In order to deal with future wars, he must gather every strength possible.
Although these Northwest Army units are abominable, they have divided the Northwest for twenty years. But it was those generals who should beheaded and judged, and it was Lugao himself. And what are the sins of the thousands of soldiers below? But it just obeyed.
Moreover, the elite level of the Northwest Army is not blown out, can such a group of veterans who have undergone rigorous training and excellent combat effectiveness be despised? If you can receive your Majesty ...
However, after smashing Lugau ’s cavalry army, he has obtained nearly 20,000 prisoners of war, all elite cavalry!
More than 20,000 people are enough for him to digest slowly.
He didn't look down on the more than 40,000 infantry outside, but Du Wei knew very well that he could never touch the more than 40,000 people outside!
Even if Emperor Chen trusts himself again, this place in the northwest has solved the great military law of Lu Gao, and the Empire definitely does not want to cultivate another warlord!
But now? He already owns 100,000 troops. Of course, after the war, he had to send back 50,000 Luo Lin Private Army. But this by no means means that the emperor can tolerate so many Northwest Army drop troops!
Du Wei and Philip have discussed, if you want to reassure Prince Chen, you are in the northwest. Without the threat of the Northwest Army, your army cannot exceed 50,000!
So, the infantry of the Northwest Army is sent to other army for compilation. You can no longer force yourself. Otherwise, shooting a bird at the head and making a big splash will not be fun.
That's it. Du Wei also felt that he was too glorious to win this time. The air power of the hot air balloon was too brilliant. The advantage of aerial bombardment could actually disintegrate the cavalry army of Lugo. After the incident, the emperor's son In my heart, we must weigh it. Let himself, the Duke of Tulips, have so many powerful troops in his hands, can he still sleep at night! !!
Although Du Wei knew he was lucky to win, he relied on trenches and barbed wire to force a large number of cavalry into a crowded terrain, plus Lugo pursued speed for light loading. There was no long-range attack weapon ... But Prince Chen didn't necessarily know so much. If he saw that his "strong army" could easily break through tens of thousands, how could he tolerate himself to continue to expand the army and expand its strength? ?
Dewey is even sure, after the end of the war. Prince Chen will certainly ask for more hot air balloon teams! !!
Due to the more than 40,000 Northwest Army outside the city, Du Wei didn't want it, but he couldn't. Otherwise ... there is no war in the Northwest, so what do you think Du Wei needs so many troops?
Even if Prince Chen knows that the next two years will be a war, most people don't know. And ... even if there is a big war in the next two years, why do you need so many troops? After all, you are only a duke, and you are not an emperor! And the emperor has not appointed you as the Marshal of the Empire! !!
Keeping 50,000 elite soldiers, this is the limit that Du Wei has set for himself. You don't have to touch the cordon of Prince Chen's heart.
Since Du Wei has made a decision, he immediately sent someone out of the city to surround him, and directly sent his own letter to the barracks of the Stormwind Corps and the barracks of Governor Bonham. Show your meaning secretly in the letter.
The general of the Stormwind Army, Andrea, owed Du Wei a favor when he first went to the Imperial City to report the military situation. At this moment, Du Wei actually said that he did not grab credit for it. He was naturally more grateful to Du Wei. And Governor Bohan couldn't help but sigh for Du Wei's "on the road".
Since the most powerful Duke of Tulips does not take credit for it. Then they. You're welcome.
However, Du Wei made a small request in the letter.
The credit can be given to you. The more than 40,000 Northwest Army will also let you fight ... but I only need one Du Wei!
Guwadolo! !!
For this request, whether Andrea or Bohan, or even the General of the King's Guards, began to be puzzled. But after thinking about it a bit more, everyone was relieved.
It was no secret that Gu Huaduoruo led his soldiers to surround Loulan. Many people know it. It is presumed that the Duke of Tulips hated this incident in his heart and wanted to take Guhuadolo back for good revenge.
However, a general in the Northwest Army seems to them to be nothing more than a small person. If he catches it, he will write the death list directly on the battle report to explain it, and then quietly send it to the Duke of Tulip It can also be regarded as selling one's affection to this most popular big man, why not do it?
The day of the decisive battle finally begins. Du Wei and three other friendly forces have made an appointment. They will be responsible for the main attack, and he will send all his cavalry to swim around the outside, so that no fish leaking from the net will run away, while his army is preparing for it. Rescue wherever there is a tight team.
This behavior has won the favor of everyone. Seeing that Du Wei is so good, everyone is welcome.
Early that morning, after the whistle blew, the imperial forces in several directions launched attacks at the same time.
Gu Huaduolu was originally prepared for a protracted war, and the fence outside the barracks was not lacking, and most of the Northwest Army's belongings were also in his own barracks. There is no shortage of long-range attack weapons, and even strong crossbows and crossbows.
Although the army ’s heart is gone, Guwadolo is not a vegetarian. He first called a group of intermediate officers to the camp, and then told everyone that even if everyone else can be pardoned, you are all officers, yes Leader! Ordinary soldiers can surrender, but even if you surrender, it is still treason! The only way now is to desperately! There is still a hint of hope that if you give up first, then after the defeat, you will wait for the gallows!
Frightened this group of officers. Naturally, these people returned to their army to suppress their hearts. In this way, although morale was low, one morning, the Northwest Army actually played well.
The infantry division under the command of Governor Bohan was the first wave of frontal attack. The soldiers rushed forward, holding shields to resist the bow and arrows of the Northwest Army. After paying the price of thousands of people, they barely filled the south of the Northwest Army with sandbags. Trenches. Immediately after, Gu Huaduoruo organized a team of 1,000 people whom he trusted to kill out. These defending guys didn't even wear the armor, they rushed out, chopped it, and sent Governor Bonham to fill it out. The ditch people cut a little in half.
Blood bleeds, corpses everywhere. After all, Bohan wasn't a general born. He lacked some military talent. Seeing that, he didn't order to send reinforcements. Instead, he was ordered to retreat.
It turned out that it took a morning for the southern gap that was opened in the morning, and was actually snatched back by Guevador.
At a distance, Du Wei stood on the city wall to watch the battle, watched one morning, and sighed: "Damn, what time is it, Wang Cheng Jinwei is so careful! Fuck !!!"
Du Wei sees clearly that Bohan will not fight, but can others not? Leaving Andre apart, their Storm Legion is a cavalry, but what about the King Guard? These Wangcheng guards watched Bohan's people die, and looked at Bohan could not help it, but they didn't even go up to help ... even if you were doing attack in another direction! !!
Standing by Dewey, Philip. Philip wore a thick robe, sighed, and whispered, "Master ... I'm afraid, this is not the meaning of the Wangcheng Guards."
Du Wei is a smart man, and once reminded, he immediately understood!
Is it Prince Chen? !!
Bohan is not a descendant of Prince Chen, but a person promoted by the old Prince. Dewey knew that. Although Prince Chen took care of the situation in the northwest, he did not withdraw Bohan after taking office, but left him in office. However, it does not mean that after the Northwest was settled, he could tolerate the continued presence of this "political enemy's subordinates."
After the Northwest was settled, it was time for Bohan to fall.
So, Prince Chen will never tolerate that Bohan has too many troops, let alone Bohan make great contributions! Otherwise, if Bohan made too much credit, how could he not reward the heroes for the sake of fairness and credibility?
Bohan had a small loss in the morning, apparently because the Wangcheng Guards intentionally did nothing.
Bohan died of three or four thousand people in the morning. He was not a fool, and he soon tasted the taste. Looking at the garrison in the distant city, Wanghan yelled a few words.
