Law of the Devil

Du Wei is betting!

He is betting!

Betting that the Northwest Army would not dare to turn against it now, betting that the Northwest Army was just testing and threatening themselves, but they dared not really attack the city with a large army!

Regardless of any conditions, now is not the best time for the Northwest Army to rebel.

But seeing that there are 40,000 Northwest Army troops under the city, which is already one-fifth of the Northwest Army's force, Chen Bing is under the city... Such a big deal is absolutely impossible for no reason!

What are they plotting?

When the sun was setting to the west, the Northwest Army under the city finally started to move.

Those engineers and soldiers who were like worker ants dismantled the half-built camp, and carts of giant logs were transported away. At the same time, the infantry of several thousand soldiers stood in front, maintaining a vigilant posture at all times, preventing the defenders in the city from taking the opportunity to come out and attack.

The tents were put away one by one, and then watching the dust rise in the distance, tens of thousands of people began to retreat slowly and methodically.

Seeing this scene, Du Wei, who was standing on the top of the city, was also relieved in his heart.

It seems that I bet right!

The Northwest Army is really extraordinary. Even when they are retreating, the army is still neat and orderly. The cavalry splits its two wings and retreats slowly like the tide. The infantry phalanx is as neat as a knife. The sound of neat footsteps. Mixed with the sound of the armor colliding when the soldiers walked, a very oppressive "squeaking" sound was formed.

At this moment, I saw more than ten cavalry galloping out of the lineup of the Northwest Army. The cavalry at the head of the horse was holding a flag high in his hand. The pattern on the flag was pure black. The edge is inlaid with gold, which is the "Golden Huoxuan Black Banner" of the Northwest Army Corps.

The Northwest Army uses black as its flag, and it also has a nickname called "Black Banner Army". But the person who can hold such a golden silk black flag is at least a general at the general level in the Northwest Army.

really. The dozen or so riders rushed to the bottom of the city in one breath, and a dozen elite heavy armored knights surrounded one of them, who looked like a general. With the black flag fluttering behind him, I heard the general in the middle yelling at the city wall in a deep voice: "Under General Lu Gao of the Northwest Legion, Major General Guhuaduoluo, Lord Tulip, please answer!"

This man looked about forty years old, with a shrewd and tough face, especially his nose, which was very characteristic. The bridge of the nose, which was originally long, seemed to be interrupted in the middle, making the nose that should have been straight and straight become crooked. The set of pure black armor on his body was obviously made of high-quality cold iron soul, and a long lance was hung immediately. The tip of the gun is in the shape of a cross, and the cross on the tip of the gun is horizontal and has a sharp edge. On the tip of the spear, there is even a little bit of dark red light shining, and it is not known whether it is a magically blessed weapon, or the bloodstains left by the weapon drinking too much blood.

Du Wei stood on the top of the wall, looking at this guy who called himself Guhuaduoluo, just as he was sizing up, Longbottom came up behind him: "Hmph, Guhuaduoluo, it's this guy."

"Do you recognize him?" Du Wei smiled.

"Of course." Longbottom stuck out his tongue and touched his lips, his eyes flashed strangely: "This is my old friend! When I was on the grassland, I often brought people back to drink and make trouble. Guhuaduoluo's subordinates have fought 80 times if not a hundred times. This guy is good, probably the strength of a knight of the sixth or seventh rank. The soldiers are also very good. The four major cavalry under the command of General Lu Gao of the Northwest Army Yes, he is one. There is nothing else about this guy, but he is cautious and he is the most careful in doing things, so it is difficult to take advantage of him."

Du Wei laughed, "Oh? He's a cautious and calm person...that's easy!"

He was really afraid that it would be a reckless guy who started his temper and didn't care about anything. Now that the guy is known for being cool and rational...then it's a lot simpler.

Du Wei coughed lightly. He stood on the city wall and leaned out, looking at Guhuaduoluo below the city: "Your Excellency, General Guhuaduoluo, I am Duwei-Rudolph."

Guhuatuoluo's face was dull, and he sat on the horse and beat his chest lightly with one hand: "My lord, forgive me for not being able to give the full salute! Let me ask my lord. At this moment, the city has been designated as an exercise theater by my Northwest Army, but my lord has raised the banner. It is said that the Magic Society also chose this place to conduct magic experiments... Although the military and the Magic Society belong to different departments, there must be an explanation."

Du Wei said lightly: "What does the general mean?"

Gu Huaduo immediately said: "The annual spring drill is the iron law of the empire, and it must not be disobeyed! Our Northwest Army also operates in accordance with the laws of the country. The soldiers have traveled here for so long, and the adults can't tell us to leave without saying a word. ?”

Du Wei was not polite at all, with a stern face: "General Guhuaduoluo, your words are so unreasonable!! Although your army has come from a long distance, it is only a hundred miles away. The headquarters of the Magic Society is in the imperial capital. The ten magicians all came all the way from the imperial capital, and you can’t retreat, so can these dozens of magicians be able to retreat back to the imperial capital?”

Gu Huaduo couldn't help being speechless.

How detached is the status of a magician in the empire? Let dozens of magicians back down. In this case, Guhuaduoluo also knows that it is difficult to say. So knowing that Du Wei was prevaricating, he was helpless. After all, no one is willing to do something that offends a magician unless it is absolutely necessary.

And...before coming here this time, Master Lu Gao's order was also...just surround and not fight! Especially this "do not fight", but the leader of the legion carefully instructed.

Guhuaduoluo thought for a while, and said loudly: "My lord, the Northwest Army's drill here was announced three days ago, these noble magicians. Although they are not controlled by the laws of the empire, things have to go first. In the future, this principle must not be wrong! Even if a magician has a noble status and is not subject to the laws of the empire, it is not acceptable to openly trample on military laws!"

Du Wei simply played tricks, stood on the top of the wall with a laugh, and said loudly: "General, I am deeply sorry for your opinion...but I must explain it to you! Although I am the lord of the Desa Province, But these magicians will listen to me. I am not sure! You also know that the magicians on our continent have always acted according to their own preferences, and I have no right to restrain them... Moreover, the temper of the magicians Most of them are not very good. If these honored guests get excited, they start a quarrel, and accidentally cause something to hurt the warriors of your army, then I can’t take this responsibility. And...even if you report to the military department, go In a lawsuit, I don’t think the military command can reason with the Magic Union.”

Guhuaduoluo frowned even more. He hesitated in his heart, the Tulip Duke was clinging to the pretense of "magician" so hard that he really made it difficult for him.

After all, if there is a conflict with the magician, there is really no place to make sense! Even the royal family can't suppress the magic guild, let alone the Northwest Army? Really fight. Whether you lose or win, it is always your own side that suffers in the end.

Thinking of this, Guhuaduoluo simply kicked the ball to Du Wei: "Master Duke. You are the Duke of the Empire, the lord of the Desa Province, and a famous magician. In this case, how to solve this matter ? Is there any way to get the best of both worlds?"

Gu Huaduo made up his mind to pay attention, if the Tulip Duke really insisted on making his army retreat ten miles, then he couldn't say, even if he tried to turn his face, he could only refuse.

Du Wei smiled, and said: "Your army had a special envoy to inform you three days ago, and I can't make it difficult for you. In this way, as a member of the Magic Society, I still have some weight among these magicians. Let me bear some responsibilities and give you a little face. In this way... I don't ask too much, as long as your army withdraws within a stone's throw! The area within a stone's throw of the city is left for the magicians to study, that is, Already!"

A stone's throw?

Guhuaduoluo thought for a while. Although I still have some doubts in my heart, how far can a single arrow go? Even if the arrow shot by a strong archer can reach several hundred meters, it is almost enough. Even with a military crossbow, it's only a thousand meters at most.

General Lu Gao's order is to only encircle and not fight, retreat a thousand meters, as long as you guard firmly, forgive them and they will not be able to fly out!

The Northwest Army knew very well how many troops there were in Loulan City, but there were only a few thousand. How big a wave can this ploy make?

Thinking of this, Guhuaduoluo smiled slightly and said loudly: "Just follow what the Duke said! I'll let people back five hundred meters!"

"Wait!" Du Wei suddenly shouted: "My lord, what I said is more or less, you have to try it! In this way, I will shoot an arrow myself, and the range of my shot will prevail." !"

Guhuaduoluo was even more relieved. Although the Duke of Tulip is said to be a powerful magician... But the weak body of a magician can't do things like archery well! Archery, pay attention to arm strength! It cannot be replaced by magic power!

It's a pity...he is destined to be suffocated.

After the two made an agreement, Du Wei suddenly smiled, turned over, and jumped onto the wall of the city wall! Although his martial arts skills are average, but since he has been studying Starry Sky Dou Qi for so long, his basic moves have made his body extremely strong. Whether it is explosiveness, jumping, or flexibility, he is already very good.

With such a light leap, the movement is really indescribably chic and neat.

At this moment, I saw the young Duke, dressed in gorgeous silver armor, with a bright red cloak fluttering in the wind behind him, standing on the wall, looking indescribably heroic and unrestrained.

He smiled lightly, lifted the cloak casually, and saw a dazzling magical light flashing above his palm, and a strangely shaped longbow had appeared in his hand!

The streamlined bow looks like a crescent moon in the night sky. The bow angles on both sides are polished with a strange and transparent crystal, and there are two curved barbs hanging on the barbs. Out of a sharp blade!

This is indeed the Bow of Nirvana in Du Wei's hand... that is, the "Ji Du Luo Hou Instant Prison Arrow" that almost defeated Gandolf in the green robe during the coup d'état! !

If the longbow was straightened, it would almost be as tall as Du Wei's. He held such a two-handed bow in his hands, and such a strangely shaped, extremely gorgeous longbow immediately shocked everyone's hearts!

Guhuaduoluo also sank in his heart, and felt a little bad!

Du Wei used to be ignorant of archery, but since he got the Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow, with such a magical weapon in his hand, how can he not make good use of it? Even if the original archery is not good, he will definitely practice it well.

What's more, this trick is all about instant prison arrows. It's no ordinary bow and arrow. If you want to practice ordinary bow and arrow well, you need nothing more than two points: arm strength and eyesight! !

But this trick is all about the arrows in the throat. It is a bow and arrow specially used by magicians, and it does not rely on arm strength to draw the bow at all. But powered by pure magic...

Du Wei's magic level is already quite powerful.

As for eyesight... the magician's "Eagle Eye Technique" is much more accurate than any sharpshooter! ! !

Du Wei has been in the northwest for more than a year, and he has secretly spent a lot of effort to practice this Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow. At this moment, he finally took it out! !

With Du Wei's longbow in hand, he flicked the string slightly. The magic power on the "Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow" was activated, and a faint silver light appeared immediately, and the streamer of light on the longbow flickered, which was very eye-catching!

He made a slight gesture as if he was going to draw the bow, but suddenly put it down again, and looked behind him: "Old Yan!"

"My lord!" Lao Yan immediately stood up.

"Do you have the guts?" Du Wei asked lightly.

Lao Yan straightened his chest immediately: "Yes!"

After all, he has died once. Now Lao Yan, what else is there to be afraid of?

"good!"

Du Wei laughed, and suddenly raised his hand and tore off the bright red cloak behind him. Throwing it casually, he threw it onto the spear in the hand of a guard beside him. The bright red cloak was dancing on the tip of the spear, but Du Wei pointed to the distance and said loudly: "Old Yan! I will finish shooting this arrow in a while. , you take this spear and go out! When you reach the place where my arrow is shot, take this spear and stick my cloak on the ground as a mark!!"

Lao Yan responded loudly, walked over and took the spear from the defender, and stood solemnly on the city.

"General Guhuaduoluo, watch it!" Du Wei sneered, he raised one foot lightly, and stood on the wall with one foot, and suddenly his body was on the wall with a lightness of 360 degrees. Spin! Stretching out the body, leaning back slightly, the whole person seems to have lost balance, like a drawn bow!

This movement is extremely difficult, and it is also extremely flamboyant!

Du Wei hooked the bowstring with two fingers, and took a deep breath...

hum! ! ! !

There was a buzzing sound, the bowstring trembled, and on the Bow of Nirvana in Du Wei's hand, a ball of magical light suddenly became extremely dazzling! Just when the ray of light was so dazzling that it almost hurt people's eyes, a meteor burst out suddenly under Du Wei's bow!

The radiant light drew a dazzling arc in mid-air, and shot towards the distance...

This meteor pierced the sky, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and men under the city could see it clearly. The tens of thousands of people were dumbfounded as they watched the meteor streak across their heads and headed for the distance...

Guhuaduoluo only felt the cold sweat on his forehead slipping down drop by drop!

This... what kind of bow is this? ! !

How far did the arrow go? Guhuaduoluo didn't even want to think about it!

With a light leap, Du Wei jumped down from the wall, and with a wave of his hand, the strange longbow turned into a ray of light and disappeared. He turned his head to look at Lao Yan, and said lightly: "Old man Yan, go! Ride my horse, go back quickly, put this long spear on my cloak, and stick it where the arrow fell!"

After a pause, Du Wei suddenly smiled maliciously and said: "The shot was a little far... Lao Yan, thank you for your hard work, don't worry, I will wait for you to come back for dinner."

Under the city, Guhuaduoluo looked embarrassed...

Wait, wait until he comes back for dinner?

How far does this gun shoot! ! !

Afterwards, Du Wei turned his face to look at Guhuaduoluo at the bottom of the city, and the expression on his face was not so friendly.

"Your Excellency, you promise a thousand catties! Now please leave this place of arrows!"

After a pause, Du Wei suddenly ordered loudly: "Pass the order of the head of my academy! After an hour, from the bottom of the city wall to the place where the arrows fell! Use three people as a team, and attack indiscriminately with magic!!"

Saying this sentence, especially the last sentence "indiscriminate attack" is even more resounding! Du Wei laughed out loud, and then went down the city without looking back.

Northwest Army? Play hard with Lao Tzu? I am more ruthless than you! .
