Chapter 1,1897 Unfulfilled Wishes

Six days

Six full days

No matter how fierce and cruel the Oplus' offensive was, the Black Flag Army soldiers who were standing on Phoenix Platform did not retreat. Knowing that things had changed, Lehman ordered his general Leilington to attack fiercely, but the walls of Phoenix Platform were cut off by artillery fire, but they still failed to attack the walls.

Not only that, it seems that the Black Flag Army also blocked the gate of Phoenix Platform.

This is a decisive attitude.

Lehman stood on the platform, holding a thousand eyes at the defenders on the city wall. Since this morning, the artillery fire on the city wall has not been counterattacked. It is obvious that the Black Flag Army's shells have been used up. The crossbow chariot has basically been destroyed by the Oplus artillery fire, and all the heavy weapons are no longer available.

And Leman could see that the defenders on the city wall did not have many reserves.

It can be seen that Fang Jie must have encountered something extremely difficult, otherwise it would not have been possible to withdraw so resolutely. The left-behind soldiers must have received the order of death and must hold on and not let the Oplus come and pursue it. At this moment, it is actually meaningless to attack Phoenix Platform again.

The Black Flag Army has retreated for more than six days, and it is almost impossible to catch up with Phoenix Platform even if it breaks through the Phoenix Platform at this time.

Therefore, Lehmann was full of respect for the defenders on the city walls.

The main team has withdrawn and lost support supplies. These soldiers are holding on to this lonely city, but the enemy is respectful. This is a soldier, this is a real soldier.

"His Majesty"

The strong man who was like a tower who was following Augusta was moved to the tragic walls: "This is the most cruel war I have ever seen since I went to war with His Majesty. Even when I attacked the capital of the Aegean Empire, I did not feel so sad. Faced with dozens of times the enemy, the Black Flag Army did show more respect."

"yes……"

Lehman breathed a long sigh of relief, a little lost.

"When I captured the capital of the Aegean Empire, I once said that as long as I am strong enough, there will be no nation or country in the world that cannot be conquered. But now I suddenly understand that even if we win this battle, take down the Phoenix Platform and even the entire Eastern Frontier, and then the entire Central Plains, I am afraid that we will find it difficult for us to conquer this nation. Even if one day we become the new territory of the empire, the people here will not stop resisting."

He put his eyes down and didn't know what to do.

This is the first time he has not known what to do when facing the enemy when he is leading his troops.

If you continue to attack, it seems that you can break through the Phoenix Platform before sunset. After all, the defenders in the city have reached a desperate situation, and their firearms have no ammunition. It seems that the bows and arrows are almost used up. Judging from the number of defenders on the city walls, they have no more troops.

But is it still meaningful to break through such a city?

Even if the Oplus eventually occupied the place, are the Oplus proud of it?

"Let the team be removed."

After a while, Leman said in a very light tone: "Send someone to the city and tell the defenders that I will give them an hour to leave, and leave proudly with the soldiers. They have completed their mission, and those who are still alive are qualified to go home with their heads high."

"But……"

Augusta said with some concern: "If we just let them go, it will be a big blow to our morale."

“Nothing makes sense.”

Lehman said: "Even if I fight here, it is not something to be excited about. Everything here is almost nothing to do with me. The reason why I ordered the Phoenix Platform to be taken down is that after I returned to China to deal with domestic affairs, a new starting point will start from Phoenix Platform. This will become the base camp for the next attack. If I take this place, I will leave Pullane to station. As long as Phoenix Platform is occupied, I can quickly control the entire Eastern Xinjiang during the next attack."

"I understand"

Augusta nodded.

When Leman knew that Fang Jie had withdrawn, he ordered a fierce attack on the Phoenix Platform. In fact, there were two meanings. First, he wanted to test whether Fang Jie had really withdrawn or had any plans. Second, the Phoenix Platform was too important. The reason why Shuluns had never been able to completely defeat the Dongjiang River was not because the Mu Mansion had a very powerful army, not the harassment of the Dongjiang Green Forest soldiers. But because the Phoenix Platform was always nailed to the waist of the Oplus like a nail.

Although Seurence later led his men to bypass the Phoenix Platform, the defenders of the Phoenix Platform were able to unscrupulously harass the rear of the Oplu people. If this nail was not pulled out, the giant Oplu would not be able to exert force. A nail was nailed to his waist and eyes, and no matter how powerful the giant was, he could not exert all his strength.

"One hour"

Lehman said slowly: "According to the timing of their Han people, if they do not withdraw within one hour, I will not blame me. I always respect the real soldiers and will not ignore them because of their low status. This nation has its terrible and respectable aspects, even if it is the enemy, even if I want to conquer them."

"yes!"

Augusta agreed and turned around and ordered someone to do it.

“Sometimes I can’t help but wonder…when will I stop my pace?”

Lehman raised his head and looked at the sky: "I told myself that when you feel tired, you will stop. Now... I am a little tired. After taking down the Central Plains, I will no longer expand my territory. Give the people ten years of rest and recuperation, and come back ten years later."

Augusta opened her mouth and finally said nothing.

...

...

"What did you say?"

The person sitting in the dark asked.

"A foreigner came outside, standing outside the city wall, shouting, saying that Lehman respected the soldiers guarding the city, all real soldiers, and such soldiers were qualified to leave proudly. So Lehman ordered the siege team to withdraw for an hour and give us an hour to leave."

A little spark lit up in the darkness, and then a fog of smoke emerged. In the thick smell of tobacco, the man seemed to nod: "Tell the soldiers, let them all go."

The person who asked was obviously stunned for a moment and immediately said anxiously: "No, the team has been withdrawn, it's too dangerous!"

The man walked out of the darkness and could see that the expression on his face was particularly solemn: "I can leave at any time. Even if I can't kill Lehman, it's almost impossible for Lehman to trap me. It's enough for the soldiers to hold on for six days. Lehman seems to have really been fooled. I arranged for Chen Dingnan to wait fifty miles away with the cavalry, and you will evacuate immediately with the soldiers."

This person is actually Fang Jie!

The person who asked at the door was Nalan Dingdong. He knelt on one knee: "Lord, we can't leave."

"If I don't leave, I will deal with you according to the order of disobeying the military. The soldiers who made the biggest sacrifice this time were the soldiers guarding the city. In order to complete my plan, they have worked hard enough. Since Lehman has been fooled, I should finish this matter next."

"But the lord..."

Nalan Dingdong advised: "You are not sure about the ability of that meteorite. If the meteorite does not play a role and you don't know much about Lehman, you are taking risks when you stay rashly. The soldiers of the Black Flag Army are willing to live and die for you, but they just can't watch you take risks!"

“This is the quickest way to solve the problem.”

Fang Jie patted Nalan Dingdong on the shoulder: "Although I am not sure whether the meteorite can exert its power, at least the opportunity is coming now. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in Chang'an City, and I'm in a hurry to go back and deal with it. So don't worry, I won't let myself get into trouble. Moreover, I have them around me."

Fang Jie looked back.

Xiang Qingniu, Ye Zhuhan, Shiwan and others walked out of the darkness and stood behind Fang Jie.

"But……"

Nalan Dingdong wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Fang Jie: "No, but you are still my subordinates and you must obey the orders. Now I order you to take all the soldiers to evacuate and meet with Chen Dingnan. Then wait for me on the spot. If we didn't arrive before dark... Sanjin Hou will tell you what to do next."

Nalan Dingdong knew that he could not persuade Fang to explain, so he had to stand up.

"Go"

Fang Jie pointed to the distance: "Let the group of people gather together. This is not a decision I made on impulse, but a choice after careful consideration. This war must end as soon as possible. I can trust you, so I should tell you some things. Chang'an City is far less peaceful than you thought. The reason why you promoted you was because the Black Flag Army was not all loyal to me. I have already explained what to do with Sanjin Hou, and I will rely on you next."

Nalan Dingdong nodded gritted his teeth and turned around and left.

"Now, we're the only one left here."

Xiang Qingniu held an apple in his hand and bit, "No one knows what kind of danger we will face next. There is a more mysterious team around Leman that can kill the practitioners, and Leman himself seems to be not afraid of the practitioners at all. In other words, what we are facing is unknown, and the current position of this battle is proceeding according to the previous arrangement. Then it is unpredictable."

He smiled and said, "Then let's talk... If this battle is defeated, we will all die in battle. So what are the unfinished wishes? I mean, if someone is not dead, go back and help do the unfinished things of the dead."

"Are you counting me?"

The last person who came out was someone who many people would not expect to appear here.

Absolute

"Calculate!"

Xiang Qingniu nodded: "Although you were a prisoner before, you are now a comrade-in-arms."

Gai She was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled and explained, "My greatest wish is to kill you... However, I respect you very much now. You can put aside your foundation and come here to resist foreign invasions with almost all your strength. I admire you. This book has no direct relationship with you. If it were me, I would first maintain the foundation and then send troops. What you did, I can't do."

"So, my wish has changed. Now, I just want to drink a bowl of butter tea and eat a large plate of hand-grabbing meat."

Shi Wan scratched her hair and smiled embarrassedly: "I don't know what I have. I just thought about it and I have no goal in my life. What will happen after I die? Maybe nothing will happen because I don't even have a relative. I suddenly remembered that... the savage is still in a coma. If anyone of us survives, then please try every means to heal him after going back."

Fang Jie looked at Ye Zhuhan: "Where are you?"

Ye Zhuhan was silent for a while and said calmly: "I like reading the most, but when I was in the 100,000 mountains, there was only one book to read in the ice cave. If I die, the living people remember to pull a cart of books and burn them in front of my grave, I would be very happy."

"And you?"

Xiang Qingniu asked for the prescription.

Fang Jie laughed: "I have nothing left. If I die, no one can help me do anything. The world will return to its original track."

"Your goal is too big and it's hard to achieve."

Xiang Qingniu said.

"And you?"

Shiwan asked Xiang Qingniu: "What else do you have to do and you especially want to do?"

Xiang Qingniu's face turned red, hesitated for a while and said shyly: "I'm still a virgin..."

Everyone was stunned.
