The first thousand one hundred and ninety-six chapters must be won
Chapter 1196 Must be taken down
In the next few days, Lehman discovered that Fang Jie might have been fooled.
It has been nearly half a month since the Black Flag Army has not taken any action. Lehman really hopes to ease it, because some things need to be dealt with recently. He knows that he cannot be distracted in such a war. If he distracts the spirit, he will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. He really values Fang Jie and knows how terrible Fang Jie's mind is.
In his opinion, Fang Jie's mind is even far more terrifying than the rumor that the Chinese cultivation level is.
After all, the latter's terrible Leman now feels that he has the ability to deal with it. The former's terrible is hard to defend against.
"Report!"
An Oplut in a personal military uniform ran in from outside with an urgent face.
"What's up?"
Lehman gave an envelope to a general of the Empire and handed it to the servants around him and told him to send someone back to the local area immediately. The local area's loss of composure has been a little out of control, and he needs his generals to finally show his tough side now.
"It seems that something went wrong with the Han people opposite."
The soldier said in an incomprehensible tone: "The scout just came back, and according to their observation, it seems that there have been great changes in the Black Flag Army camp. Since the night before, the Black Flag Army camp outside the Phoenix Platform has changed a little. The mobilization of personnel and horses is more frequent than before, but there is no sign of going out to fight. Last night, the scout took a risk closer and found that the defense forces of the Black Flag Army camp were obviously thinner!"
Hearing these words, Leman's face changed suddenly.
"I'll go see it myself."
He strode out of the tent, rode his horse and led a team of elite guards to the front. He left the Oplus camp, and Lehmann stopped until less than three hundred meters away from the Black Flag Army camp. This distance was already quite dangerous and was within the range of the Black Flag Army artillery.
But obviously, Lehmann's mind was not on this at all.
He raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side, and his eyes changed after a moment.
On the wooden wall outside the Black Flag Army's camp, it seemed that there were quite a lot of defense forces. But after observation, Lehman could confirm that at least two-thirds of the defenders were fake! Because the soldiers stood too steadily and had no movement at all. According to the truth, even the most qualified soldiers did not remain motionless when standing, but would sway slightly. But what Lehman saw now was that most of the defenders on the wooden wall were motionless.
So Lehman is sure that those soldiers are fake.
He heard the trumpet sounding in the Black Flag Army camp, and then he saw a team of cavalry gathering from the camp towards the gate. It seemed that the number of people in that team should be about five or six hundred. Obviously, their appearance had aroused the Black Flag Army's vigilance. But it was this vigilance that made Lehman feel even more wrong.
"Go back first."
After all, he didn't have many guards, so he turned around and retreated towards the camp.
The cavalry of the Black Flag Army had already left the gate, but after seeing Leman and the others retreated, they did not pursue him. They wandered around the door for a while and then returned inside.
"Rellington"
After returning to the camp, Lehman immediately made a decision.
"Take your corps and attack immediately. It's not a temptation, but an attack with all your might."
Raylington, one of his commanders, immediately agreed.
Rellington led Lehman's direct army. This army has made great achievements in the past five years of war. So far, this army has never lost on the battlefield facing the opposite battlefield.
"But, your Majesty...isn't you waiting for Manwell's cavalry army?"
Raylington asked.
"No"
Lehman shook his head: "I originally wanted to quickly transfer Manwell's cavalry legion to come over, but now the situation seems to have changed. I wrote a letter to Fang Jie to delay for a while. When conquering the Aegean Empire, the most difficult thing to deal with was the Jacques, because the Jacques had very powerful cavalry. This is why, since then, I have not deployed troops against the Jacques. I just accepted them and gave them generous benefits to make them betray the Aegean Empire."
"I originally planned to use the cavalry legion until the Jacques' tribe is familiar with the empire and become loyal after giving them enough benefits. Because previous information showed that the Han people in the Central Plains did not have a large-scale cavalry army. However, the Black Flag Army had cavalry with great combat power. This time it prompted me to decide to slow down and then transfer to the Manwell cavalry legion."
"But now, there seems to be no time to wait for Manwell to come."
Lehman said: "You attack immediately, no reservation is allowed."
Raylington agreed loudly and turned around and left the tent.
"Pullean"
Lehman continued to order: "Let your army be divided into two teams, protecting his flanks when the army of Rellington attacks. Beware that this is a trap for the Black Flag Army. Maybe it is just a trap set by Fang Fang... He just wants to lead me to attack and then use his extremely fast light cavalry to attack my flanks."
"As for your order!"
Poolean took the order and left quickly.
"Order the entire army to be on guard and increase the scope of the scout's search by twenty miles. Once you agree to find the traces of the Black Flag Army around you, you will immediately warn you!"
Even though Lehman was a little anxious, he still arranged all the arrangements he could think of.
"I just need to delay time, but I forgot to understand that I might be facing the same problems as me."
Lehman said with a solemn expression: "He may... something happened behind him."
...
...
Raylington's attack had no room for anything from the beginning. This army was one of the aces in Lehman's hands. Not only was the soldiers' combat quality far stronger than the Black Morning Glory of Curence, but the weapon configuration was much stronger than the Black Morning Glory. The number of artillery in this army was extremely amazing.
At least one hundred artillery began to show their power at the same time, and shells continued to explode on the wooden walls of the Black Flag Army camp, and broken wood flew.
In fact, when this scene appeared, Leman, who was observing from a distance, knew very well. If the main force of the Black Flag Army was still there, it would be absolutely impossible for his artillery to attack the camp. Just like the first battle not long ago, in order to prevent the siege beast from approaching the Black Flag Army from counterattacking. That is because the Black Flag Army knew very well that once the Oplus formed a suppression on the advantage of firearms, the Black Flag Army would be difficult to fight.
If the main force of the Black Flag Army is still there, it will inevitably be launched and counterattack.
In fact, the counterattack of the Black Flag Army was also a forced action. Only by constantly counterattacking can the Oplutes be prevented.
The seemingly solid wooden city gradually collapsed under the attack of artillery, while the stone walls of defenders standing on the wooden wall fell down one after another, falling into several sections. This also confirms Lehman's previous speculation that most of the soldiers were fake.
For about half an hour, Leilington stopped the cannon chamber that had been fired in his team and could no longer shoot.
The black Opruses began to attack towards the Black Flag Army camp, but even the cavalry team of hundreds of people disappeared. After pouring out so many shells, they found that there were no defenders in the outer camp. Perhaps the moment when Lehmann observed and retreated, the few soldiers left in the camp also retreated.
"His Majesty!"
The commander ran over quickly and knelt down on one knee: "The outer camp of the Black Flag Army was empty!"
Leman's face became increasingly ugly. He suddenly felt that he was being fooled. He thought that the letter could give Fang an illusion, but who thought that Fang Jie actually gave him an illusion. Although he was not clear why the Black Flag Army suddenly withdrew, it was certain that they had withdrawn Pingping An An.
In this confrontation, the situation faced is that whoever turns around and escapes first will be beaten.
Ralington's army quickly invaded the Black Flag Army's outer camp, and then found that the camp was empty.
After the artillery fire, a layer of new soil with wisps of smoke came out of smoke from the ground. The soldiers of the Oplu Empire wearing leather boots stepped on these new soil and entered the Black Flag Army's camp. The enemy who had resisted them for so many days had disappeared. Except for the place where the artillery fire was bombarded, the rest of the camp was very regular. This shows that the Black Flag Army was not rushing to withdraw, and it was obviously preparing early.
It can be speculated that the Black Flag Army must have the troops from the outer camp slowly retreated into the Phoenix Platform within a few days at night, and then left the city from the Phoenix Platform. In this way, as long as the outer camp is still brightly lit, the Oplus will not be able to find anything as long as they are not close to each other.
"No grain of food is left."
Seeing that Lehman had entered the camp, Raylington quickly stepped up and said, "Everything has been taken away, just as the people evaporated out of thin air overnight. Except for the tent, there were nothing left left. I saw some stoves not far away, which should have been left behind when the left-behind people were eating. Only these people were withdrawn in a hurry, so the stoves were still there. In terms of quantity, there were less than 1,500 people left behind in the camp."
Leman's face was gloomy and he couldn't figure out why the Black Flag Army suddenly retreated. Although he had thought about the possibility that there might be some chaos behind Fang Jie, he would not be able to analyze it like Fang Jie's personality.
"Continue to move forward and tentatively attack the Phoenix Platform."
Lehman ordered.
Raylington immediately dispatched troops to attack, and soon the sound of cannons rang out again.
"Report!"
The messenger rushed from a distance: "The defenders of Phoenix Platform are still here, and they resist very much. Moreover, they transported artillery to the city wall and installed a large number of crossbows, and the attacking team in front was blocked!"
"The defenders of Phoenix Platform are still there?"
Leman frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Send more troops to attack!"
He suddenly ordered: "Rellington, lead your troops to attack yourself."
Raylington responded and took the people up in person.
Half an hour later, Leilington came back with a pale face, saying that the Phoenix Taiwan defenders had a lot of troops and had extremely strong resistance. Moreover, Fang Jie seemed to have left all the equipment of the firearm battalion, which was difficult to attack for a while. The Black Flag Army's artillery was equipped on the city wall and the range was slightly increased, but it happened to be able to bombard Leilington's artillery position, so that it was difficult for the Oplu army to get close without the support of artillery fire.
"Fang Jie did encounter some trouble, so he took advantage of the opportunity of me writing a letter to withdraw. He left all the firearms on the Phoenix Platform and left heavy troops to guard them because he was afraid that I would chase after him."
