Chapter 1196

In the next few days, Lehmann found that Fang Xie might have been really fooled.

For nearly half a month, the black flag army did not move at all. Lehmann really wants to slow down, because he needs to deal with some things recently. He knows that he can't be a little distracted in such a war. If he is distracted, he will have an opportunity. He really valued Fang Xie and knew how terrible Fang Xie's mind was.

In his opinion, Fang Xie's mind is even more terrible than the rumored Chinese Xie Xiuwei.

After all, Lyman now feels he has the ability to deal with the horror of the latter. The former is terrible and impossible to prevent.

"Report!"

An oplu in a soldier's uniform ran in quickly from the outside, his face very urgent.

"What's up?"

Lehmann gave an envelope to a general of the Empire, handed it to his attendant and told him to send someone back to his homeland immediately. The local gaffe has been out of control. He needs to finally show his generals a tough side now.

"It seems that there is something wrong with the Han people opposite."

The soldier said in a difficult tone: "The scouts have just returned. According to their observation, it seems that great changes have taken place in the black flag army camp. The black flag army camp outside Fenghuang platform has changed a few nights ago. The mobilization of people and horses is more frequent than before, but there is no sign of going out to fight. Last night, the scouts ventured closer and found that the defense force of the black flag army camp is obviously thin!"

Lehmann's face changed sharply at this remark.

"I'll see it myself."

He strode out of the tent, mounted a war horse and ran straight to the front with a team of elite guards. Out of the opru camp, Lehmann didn't stop until he was less than 300 meters away from the black flag military camp. This distance was already quite dangerous and within the range of the black flag gun.

But obviously, Lehmann's mind is not on this at all.

He raised his clairvoyant eyes and looked at the other side. After a moment, his eyes changed.

On the wooden walls outside the black flag army's camp, it seems that there are a lot of defensive forces. But after observation, Lehmann can determine that at least two-thirds of the garrison soldiers are fake! Because those soldiers stand too stable and have no movement at all. According to the truth, even the most qualified soldiers do not stand still, but shake slightly. But what Lehmann sees now is that most of the defenders on the wooden wall are motionless.

So Lehmann can be sure that those soldiers are fake.

He heard the horn sounded in the black flag army camp, and then saw a team of cavalry gathered from the camp towards the gate. It seemed that the number of the team should be about 500 or 600. Obviously, their appearance had aroused the vigilance of the black flag army. But it was this vigilance that made Lehmann feel more wrong.

"Go back first."

After all, he didn't have many bodyguards with him, so he turned and withdrew to the camp.

The cavalry of the black flag army had already gone out of the gate. When they saw Lehmann retreating, they didn't pursue. After bluffing around the door for a while, they also returned inside.

"Raylington"

After returning to the camp, Lehmann made a decision immediately.

"Take your regiment and attack immediately. It's not temptation, but all-out attack."

Leilington, one of his top generals, immediately agreed.

Leighton, led by Lyman's direct army, has made great achievements in the past five years. So far, this army has never lost in the face of the opposite battlefield.

"But, your majesty... Are you waiting for Manwell's cavalry corps?"

Asked Wellington.

"No"

Lehmann shook his head: "Originally, I wanted to quickly transfer Manwell's cavalry corps, but now the situation seems to have changed. I wrote to Fang Xie to delay for a period of time. When conquering the Aegean Empire, the most difficult thing to deal with was the Jacques, because the Jacques had very strong cavalry. That's why I didn't send troops to the Jacques until later, I just accepted them They gave them rich benefits and made them betray the Aegean empire. "

"I intended to wait until the Jacques people were familiar with the Empire and became loyal enough to use the cavalry regiment after giving them enough benefits. Because prior intelligence showed that the Han people in the Central Plains did not have a large troop of cavalry troops. However, the black flag army had a cavalry with low combat power. This is the reason why I decided to slow down and move to the cavalry Corps."

"But now, there seems to be no time for Manwell to come."

Lyman said, "you attack immediately without any reservation."

Wellington promised loudly and turned away from the big tent.

"Pulllane"

Lehmann continued to order: "divide your Legion into two teams and protect his flank when the army of leilington attacks. Strictly prevent that this is a trap of the black flag army, maybe it is just a trap deliberately set by Fang Xie... He just wants to lead me to attack, and then hit my flank with his fast light cavalry."

"Yes, sir!"

Pulllane took orders and left quickly.

"Order the whole army to be on alert and increase the scouts' search range by 20 Li. Once they promise to find the trace of the black flag army around, they will give an alarm immediately!"

Lehmann arranged everything he could think of, even though he was a little anxious.

"I just need to procrastinate, but I forget that Fang Xie may be facing the same problems as me."

Lehmann said solemnly, "he may... There is something wrong in the rear."

……

……

There was no room for Leighton's attack from the beginning. This army was one of Lehmann's trumps. Not only the combat quality of soldiers is much better than that of thurence's black morning glory, but also the weapon configuration is much stronger than that of black morning glory. The number of artillery of this army is extremely amazing.

At least a hundred guns began to attack at the same time, and shells exploded on the wooden wall of the black flag army camp.

In fact, when this scene appeared, Lehmann, who was observing from a distance, knew it very well. If the main force of the black flag army is still there, it is absolutely impossible to allow its own artillery to attack the camp. Just like the first war not long ago, in order to prevent the siege beast from approaching, the black flag army tried its best to counterattack. That's because the black flag Army knows that once the opru people form a suppression on the advantage of firearms, the black flag army's war is difficult to fight.

If the main force of the black flag army is still there, it is bound to go out and counter charge.

In fact, the counterattack of the black flag army is also an act of last resort. Only continuous counter charge can stop the advantage of the opru people.

It seemed that the solid wooden city gradually collapsed under the attack of artillery, and the garrison stone walls standing on the wooden wall fell one after another and fell into several sections. This also confirmed Lehmann's previous speculation that most of the soldiers were fake.

For almost half an hour, Wellington fired all the guns in his team. The bore was hot and could not shoot any more before he stopped.

The dark aupru soldiers began to attack in the direction of the black flag army camp, but even the previous cavalry team of hundreds of people disappeared. After pouring so many shells, I found that there was no garrison in the outer camp. Perhaps the moment Lehmann retreated after observing, the few soldiers left in the camp also withdrew.

"Your majesty!"

The herald ran quickly and knelt down on one knee: "the camp outside the black flag army is empty!"

Lehmann's face became more and more ugly. He suddenly felt that he had been teased. He thought that letter could give Fang Xie an illusion. Who thought Fang Xie gave him an illusion. Although it is not clear why the black flag army withdrew suddenly, it is certain that their withdrawal was safe.

In fact, the situation facing such a confrontation is that whoever turns around and runs away first will be beaten.

Wellington's army quickly invaded the outer camp of the black flag army, and then found that the camp was empty.

After the gunfire, the ground was sprinkled with a layer of new soil emitting wisps of smoke. The soldiers of the opru empire in leather boots stepped on these new soil and entered the outer camp of the black flag army. The enemy who had resisted them for so many days has disappeared. Except for the places bombed by artillery, other places in the camp are very orderly. It can be seen that the withdrawal of the black flag army is not in a hurry. It is obvious that it was prepared early.

It can be speculated that the black flag army must have let the troops and horses of the outer camp slowly withdraw into phoenix platform in a few days at night, and then leave the city from phoenix platform. In this way, as long as the outer camp remains brightly lit, the opru people can't find anything as long as they don't get too close.

"There is no grain left."

When Leighton saw that Lehmann had entered the camp, he quickly stepped up and said: "Everything has been taken away, as if the people and horses evaporated overnight. There is nothing left except the tent. I saw some cooking stoves not far away, which should have been left by the people left behind during dinner. Only these people withdrew in a hurry, so the cooking stoves are still there. In terms of quantity, the people left behind in the outside camp are less than 1000 Five hundred. "

Lehmann's face was uncertain. He really couldn't understand why the black flag army withdrew suddenly. Although he had thought that there might be something wrong behind Fang Xie, leaving Dongjiang like this was not like Fang Xie's character.

"Keep moving forward and try to attack phoenix platform."

Lehmann ordered.

Leilington immediately dispatched men and horses to attack, and soon the artillery rang out again.

"Report!"

The herald rushed from a distance: "the fenghuangtai garrison is still there, and the resistance is very fierce. Moreover, they transported the artillery to the city wall and installed a large number of crossbows, which blocked the attacking team in front!"

"The garrison of Phoenix station is still there?"

Lyman frowned and lost himself in thought.

"Send more troops to attack!"

He suddenly gave a command: "leilington, you personally lead the troops to attack."

Leilington answered and took the man up himself.

Half an hour later, leilington came back with a blue face. He said that the fenghuangtai garrison had a lot of troops and the resistance was extremely strong. Moreover, Fang Xie 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 installed on the city wall, and its range was slightly increased, but it was just able to bombard leilington's artillery position, so that there was no artillery fire With support, the opru army is hard to get close.

"Fang Xie did have some trouble, so he took the opportunity of my letter to withdraw. He left all his firearms on Fenghuang platform and left heavy troops for fear that I might catch up."

Lehmann murmured a few words, and then ordered, "attack day and night. You and Prynne's army attack alternately. Don't calculate the price. You must break the phoenix platform!"
