nHaving said that, he raised the curtain and stepped out of the tent, ordering no one to enter inside.

nHe then called his lieutenant and asked, “Have the war drums been played?”

nThe lieutenant sweated heavily and replied, “Yes, General! A moment ago, I have a soldier shot arrow with letter at the fortress, asking for battling tomorrow.”

n“Um.” Guwadolo nodded.

nBut then the vice general replied with a look of embarrassment: “General, they have just replied.”

n“Oh?” Guwadolo said, “Responded? Did they agree? Du Wei, that guy must have hated me in his heart. After all, I have once launched siege on him before. He must have agreed to have decisive battle tomorrow with me.”

n“No …” Lieutenant General’s voice became stranger.

n“No? How did he answer?”

nLieutenant General took out something from his arms: “This is a reply from the city just now.”

nAfter Guwadolo opened the letter, he took a glance and his facial colour changed immediately!

nIn the reply that Du Wei ordered soldiers to shoot with a bow and arrow, he said, “Let’s fight slowly! You are not in a hurry and I am also not in a hurry.”

nGuwadolo glanced at it and felt like Du Wei had seen through his own plan!

nThis Duke of Tulips knows that his task is to delay time here?

nI’m not in a hurry nor is he in a hurry? What does it mean?

nDid he know the intention of General Lu Gao to leave the infantry here? Or did he arrange soldiers to block General Lu Gao in Desa province?

nIn this era there were no telephones, no telegraphs, not even communication systems. At this time, the wisdom and abilities of the commander-in-chief would be fully tested.

nAlthough Guwadolo was full of suspicion, he didn’t know that Lu Gao’s army had been already annihilated. He didn’t know that he had been duped by Du Wei.

nDu Wei stood on the city wall and looked away for a while, seeing the movements in Guwadolo’s barracks. This guy was very capable commander. The barracks was heavily guarded. Although everyone was busy but it was not chaotic, it could be seen that the Northwest Army was indeed elite.

nAnd what made Du Wei feel funny was that this Guwadolo actually ordered to set giant wooden fence around the camp to make a circle around the camp. He even had some people dug a trench outside the camp… It seemed that he was very attentive.

nThe more Du Wei looked the more funny he became. Then he summoned Longbatton’s subordinates and asked how they were going to deal with those prisoners of war. Then he said, “Send a team of thousand soldiers to search for any escape roots on the Northwest Cavalry battlefield. Also ensure that Guwadolo’s scouts did not cross our line of defense. Don’t let Guwadolo know that Lu Gao’s cavalry is finished!”

nSome people were puzzled: “Master Duke, we have won a great victory. If we let Guwadolo know, I’m afraid they will be even more desperate, isn’t it better?”

nDu Wei shook his head: “Dogs jump over the wall, don’t you understand this? They just came here. They are full of vigour. At this time, if we let them know this news, maybe Guwadolo’s temper will flare up and he will attack us hard.”

nOne of the generals said: “Sir, we are not afraid of their attack!”
