    Chapter 1187 Before the Fight When it comes to the border towns of the Sui Dynasty, the most famous ones are Fangu in the northwest and Fenghuangtai in the east.  This article is written by .  .  The first starter, Fang Jie, seems to have left a deep mark in both places.  He started from Fan Gu and walked step by step to become the pillar of the Central Plains.  He started from Chang'an again and walked step by step to become the savior of Eastern Xinjiang.  Most of the time, people have no idea who of the people they know will excel.  For example, the old neighbors on the 23rd Street in the east of Chang'an City all thought that Mr. Xiao Fang was a good person, but they never thought that Mr. Xiao Fang would one day become the person above tens of millions of people.  As expected by Nalan Dingdong, the Mufu soldiers east of Shili Gorge did not dare to make any move against the enemy's large group of cavalry.  After learning that Fang Jie personally led troops to Phoenix Tower, the general of Mu Mansion immediately made a decision to close the four gates and not allow anyone to leave the city.  This is fear.  When Fang Jie arrived at Phoenix Tower, the war had not really started yet.  It seems that Lyman is deliberately waiting for him to come, and will not really take action until he comes.  In Lehmann¡¯s eyes, Nalan Dingdong is no match at all.  Standing at the top of the Phoenix Tower, looking at the huge beasts that had stood in the Opulu army camp opposite, Fang Jie knew that this was Lyman showing off his force to him.  Lyman wanted to tell Fang Jie that as long as he wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't do.  It is really shocking to build so many and huge siege equipment in just five or six days.  This is a very common but very effective strategy to frighten the enemy. It has been used by more than one person on the battlefield in ancient and modern times.  Psychological warfare Fang Jiefang used his clairvoyance and pointed at the huge siege equipment and said: "The real function of these things is to scare people They are big and always make people afraid." "I guess Lyman wants to rely on height.  Let's establish an advantage at the beginning." Nalan Dingdong said: "If he wants to attack Phoenix Tower, he must first break through the company camp outside the city.  The siege effect of these beast-like things ordered to be built is not the main purpose, but the main purpose is to target the companies outside. Once these huge things are pushed over, the foreigners will have a high altitude advantage, and the range of the muskets will be destroyed.  Increaseand our archers shoot upwards, and the damage to the enemy will be minimal." Fang Jie nodded: "Lyman is right, I don't have artillery in my hand." He looked outside and said slowly.  : "He knew very well that if I came in a hurry, I would have to rush in with light cavalry, and it would be impossible to carry heavy artillery. Without artillery, there would be no fundamental blow to those huge siege equipment He thought  "Very accurate." "However, he only remembered artillery, but he forgot that the Central Plains did not have artillery at all before the foreigners came. Instead, they used a backward weapon that the foreigners looked down upon." Nalan Dingdong certainly knew what Fang was explaining.  Trebuchet In fact, in this era, the throwing distance of the trebuchet is not much worse than that of artillery.  It is not difficult for the largest riprap truck to move boulders five hundred meters away.  And even if the foreign musketeers boarded the siege equipment, the range of the muskets would not reach this distance.  "In order not to lose face, my subordinates sent people to assemble dozens of riprap trucks in six days." Nalan Dingdong's tone was very relaxed. He smiled: "Of course, these riprap trucks were originally  There are already things, and they just need to be assembled. There are dozens of small trebuchets on the walls of Phoenix Terrace. My subordinates checked the warehouse There are twenty large trebuchets used in field sieges.  " Fang Jie sighed: "Phoenix Tower was the outpost where the Sui Dynasty invaded Dongchu. It's not surprising that there are a lot of siege equipment here. " "The foreigners spent six days trying to show their strength, and you did the same.  It took six days to declare to foreigners that you can do it too Very good, you haven't lost your momentum." Fang Jie praised, then looked at Nalan Dingdong: "There was news from the northwest a while ago.  , Song Zihui defeated the Mongolian and Yuan troops and annihilated more than 100,000 Mongolian and Yuan wolf cavalry. I promoted him to a general and made him a first-class marquis You have done no worse than Song Zihui, and you should also get these things." Nalanding.  Dong Yi was startled, then knelt down on one knee: "Thank you, Lord!" "Get up." "People have been saying that I am the first king with a foreign surname in more than two hundred years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. This is nothing. If calculated  In terms of time, you may be the only foreigner in the country established by the Han people in the history of the Central Plains for more than two thousand years to achieve the title of first-class general. " "This is amazing. "  Fang explained.  Nalan Dingdong smiled sheepishly, but he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.  "You and Song Zihui make me feel at ease." Fang Jie looked at Nalan Dingdong and said with a smile: "With subordinates like you, I will always be very at ease and even happy. There is something in advance  Let me tell you After the war with the foreigners is over, you can stay in Eastern Xinjiang for the time being. I met Mu Guangling and Wei An before coming here, and I left the area north of Malan Mountain and east of Shanhaiguan to be guarded by Mu Guangling.  . Let Wei An guard the area south of Malan Mountain After the war is over, you can just grab it." Nalan Dingdong couldn't help but laugh, feeling particularly happy.  "Who will fight in the first battle?" Nalan Dingdong said: "I really want to learn how capable Leman, who is rumored to have destroyed countless countries, is." "No rush," Fang Jie said slowly.  : "If you want to see clearly all the enemy's methods, the most direct way is to attack, and the safest way is to defend Let's take a look first and see how Lyman makes his moves."?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Fang Jie¡¯s guess is not wrong, the most reliable way is to defend, and the most direct way is to defend  Before the army went to war, Lyman indeed sent a letter.  This is already an old scene. Fang Jie doesn't even have to think about it to know what Lyman wants to do.  Fang Jie looked at the envelope. The Chinese characters on it were very straight, so Fang Jie immediately felt bad.  He didn¡¯t actually need to open the envelope to know what was probably going to be written in Lyman¡¯s handwritten letter.  "First, Lehmann wants to see me and talk to me before the battle. Second, he will politely point out that I am not his opponent and hope that I can understand current affairs. Third, he advises me to think about the soldiers under my command. He  I think I will die a lot of soldiers." Fang Jie threw the envelope to the foreigner who delivered the letter: "Open it and take a look." The foreigner who delivered the letter is called Augusta, a well-known warrior in the Opulu Empire and Lyman's personal bodyguard.  One of the guards.  It is said that this man once uprooted a big tree on the street, once smashed a galloping horse with one punch, and once lifted a huge stone with one arm.  Augusta¡¯s face looked ugly, and he was a little angry.  The Han leader in front of him was too arrogant. In his opinion, no one in the world could show his arrogance in front of Emperor Leman.  He snorted coldly and opened the envelope.  Then his expression changed.  Sure enough, the content of the letter was almost the same as what Fang Jie said before.  What Lyman meant was to have a face-to-face conversation with Fang Jie before the two armies went to war.  Second, Lehmann believed that the Han people's military force was actually far from the opponent of the Oprus. If Fang Jie really cared about the Han people, it would be better to give up resistance.  Third, if a war breaks out the Black Flag Army will be completely wiped out.  Augusta¡¯s face looked even worse.  "Go back and tell Lehmann that we will meet, but not before the war, but after the war. He also hopes to meet me as a winner, and the same is true for me. As for the rest I think it is just  It¡¯s because it would be insincere to write just one sentence. ¡°I will make an exception and won¡¯t kill you.¡± Fang Jie waved his hand, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Augusta hesitated and said nothing.  Turn around and leave.  The muscles in his body were tense when he came out, because he could see the hatred in the eyes of those Han people.  Although Fang Jie said not to kill him, he was not sure whether Fang Jie's men would suddenly come and kill him.  He knew that practitioners among the Han people were particularly powerful.  Although he is extremely talented, this kind of pure muscle strength is obviously not on the same level as those weird cultivation powers.  Fortunately, none of those Han people took action.  "Lyman is boring." Xiang Qingniu couldn't help but snorted: "Does this guy think that he can make our hundreds of thousands of troops surrender immediately with just one letter?" "No" Fang Jie shook his head: "  This letter is not the purpose, his purpose is to let his men take a closer look at me. He wants to use this method to find out my personality, my style of doing things, even my appearance, my voice, all this and that.  Augusta will remember it and tell Lyman the truth." Xiang Qingniu was startled, and then spat: "Hey! These foreigners are so cunning." "So you just sent that person back?"  Xiang Qingniu asked.  Fang Jie said with a smile: "Show the enemy something that makes him think it is my weakness. He will be very happy." "For example?" Xiang Qingniu asked again.  "For example, self-righteousness." Fang Jie replied.  "But???Lyman wouldn't believe it.  " "Then why do you want to act?  Xiang Qingniu asked curiously. Fang explained: "Because he wants to see it, and he doesn't believe it or not, but it will be counted."  Sometimes, a detail that he knows to be wrong will not be ignored, because he will always think about it, is this detail wrong or true?  Xiang Qingniu shook his head: "It's too complicated, I don't want to do it anymore."  "    "A common problem among young men, especially young men who have achieved certain achievements.  "After hearing what Augusta said, the corner of Lyman's mouth curled up slightly. Augusta was not a particularly sophisticated person. After hearing Lyman's words, he said: "I also think this Fang Jie is too arrogant.  Some, too self-righteous.  " "I just said that it is a common problem among young people, especially young people with some achievements.  There are many such people among my staff.  But" Lyman changed his tone: "Fang Jie is definitely not such a person.  "    "Why?  Augusta asked. Lehmann said slowly: "Because he has not only achieved a little bit, but has already achieved a lot."  "Augusta doesn't understand. Lyman won't explain anything. "Augusta, are you ready?  " Lyman suddenly asked. " I'm ready!  " Augusta lowered his head: "My Majesty, as long as you give the order, I will not withdraw from the battlefield unless I die.  "No" Lyman shook his head again: "I'm not asking you to go to the battlefield, I'm asking you to prepare to welcome guests."  If nothing else happens, Fang Jie will send someone to check on me.  It's like I sent you to see him, but he won't use the same method as me.  There are many real practitioners under him, who are much stronger than those under Chu Juzheng.  " Lyman stretched out: "I'm going to bed.  Augusta looked solemn, turned around and walked out of the tent, standing at the door like an iron tower.
