    Chapter 1,196 Must Win In the next few days, Lyman discovered that Fang Jie might have really been fooled.  It has been nearly half a month, and the Black Flag Army has made no move at all.  Lyman really wanted to slow down, because there were some things that he needed to deal with recently. He knew that he couldn't be distracted in such a war. If he was distracted, Fang would take advantage of it.  He really valued Fang Jie and knew how terrifying Fang Jie's mind was.  In his opinion, Fang Jie¡¯s mind is far more terrifying than the rumored Chinese Fang Jie¡¯s cultivation. ? After all, the latter's terrifying Lehmann now feels capable of handling it.  The former is so terrifying that it is impossible to guard against it.  "Report!" An Opulus man wearing a soldier's uniform ran in quickly from outside, with an urgent look on his face.  "What's the matter?" Lyman sealed an envelope addressed to a certain general in the empire, handed it to the attendant beside him, and told him to send someone back to the homeland immediately.  The local gaffe has gotten a little out of hand, and he needs his generals to finally show a tough side now.  "It seems that there is something wrong with the Han people opposite." The soldier said in a tone that was difficult to understand: "The scouts have just returned, and according to their observations, there seems to be a big change in the Black Flag Army camp. In the past few nights,  There were some changes in the Black Flag Army camp outside Phoenix Terrace. The mobilization of troops and horses was more frequent than before, but there was no sign of any outcry. Last night, the scout ventured closer and found that the Black Flag Army camp's defense strength was obvious.  Get thinner!" Upon hearing these words, Lyman's expression suddenly changed.  "I'll go see it myself." He strode out of the tent, mounted his horse and led a group of elite guards straight to the front.  After leaving the Opulus camp, Lyman did not stop until he was less than 300 meters away from the Black Flag Army camp. This distance was already quite dangerous and was within the range of the Black Flag Army's artillery.  But obviously, Lyman¡¯s thoughts were not on this at all.  He raised his clairvoyance and looked at the opposite side. After a moment, his eyes changed.  On the wooden wall outside the Black Flag Army's camp, it seemed like there were quite a few defensive troops.  But after observation, Lyman was able to determine that at least two-thirds of the defenders were fake!  Because the soldiers stood too firmly, there was no movement at all.  Logically speaking, even the most qualified warrior will not remain motionless when standing tall, but will sway slightly.  But what Lyman saw now was that most of the defenders on the wooden wall were motionless.  So Lyman can be sure that those soldiers are fake.  He heard the horn blowing in the Black Flag Army camp, and then saw a group of cavalry gathering from the camp and heading towards the camp gate. It seemed that the number of the team should be around five or six hundred people. It was obviously theirs.  The appearance has aroused the vigilance of the Black Flag Army.  But it was this vigilance that made Lyman feel even more wrong.  "Go back first." After all, he didn't have many guards with him, so he turned around and retreated towards the camp.  The Black Flag Army cavalry had already left the gate. Seeing Lyman and the others retreating, they did not pursue them. After wandering bluffingly at the gate for a while, they also returned inside.  "Rellington" After returning to the camp, Lyman immediately made a decision.  "Take your troops and attack immediately. Not to test, but to attack with all your strength." Rellington, one of his important generals, immediately agreed.  Rellington led Lyman's direct army.  This army has made great achievements in the past five years of combat. So far, this army has never lost a battle on the battlefield.  "But, Your Majestydon't you wait for Manwell's cavalry regiment?" Rellington asked.  "No" Lyman shook his head: "Originally I wanted to quickly mobilize Manweil's cavalry regiment, but now the situation seems to have changed. I wrote to Fang Jie in order to delay the conquest of the Aegean Empire for a while.  At that time, the most difficult people to deal with were the Yaks, because the Yaks had very powerful cavalry. This is why I never used troops against the Yaks. I just accepted them and gave them generous benefits to make them betray.  "I originally planned to wait until the Yaks became familiar with the empire and became loyal after giving them enough benefits, because previous intelligence showed that the Han people in the Central Plains did not succeed.  A large cavalry army. However, the Black Flag Army has a strong cavalry force. This is the reason why I decided to slow down and transfer the Manwell Cavalry Corps. " "But now, it seems that there is no time to wait for Manwell.  "Here we come." Lyman said: "?Attack immediately without any reservation.  "Rellington loudly agreed, turned and left the big tent. "Pullein" Leman continued to order: "Let your legion be divided into two teams to protect the flanks of Rellington's army when he attacks.  Be careful that this is a trap by the Black Flag Army. Maybe this is just a trap deliberately set by Fang Jie He just wants to lead me to attack, and then use his extremely fast light cavalry to attack my flank.  " "I obey!  "Pullein took the order and left quickly. "Order the entire army to be on alert and increase the search range of the scouts to twenty miles. Once any trace of the Black Flag Army is found in the surrounding area, we will immediately alert you!  " Even though Lyman was a little impatient, he still arranged all the arrangements he could think of. "I only thought that I needed to delay the time, but I forgot that Fang Jie might also be facing the same problem as me.  " Lehmann said with a solemn face: "He may have some problems at the rear.  "  Lelington's offense has no room for staying from the beginning. This army is one of the trump cards in Lyman's hands.  It was also much more powerful than Black Morning Glory. The number of artillery pieces in this army was extremely astonishing. At least a hundred artillery pieces began to fire at the same time, and the shells continued to explode and shatter on the wooden walls of the Black Flag Army camp.  In fact, when this scene appeared, Lyman, who was observing from a distance, knew very well that 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, the Black Flag Army tried its best to counterattack in order to prevent the siege beasts from approaching. That was because the Black Flag Army knew very well that once the Oprus were suppressed due to their superiority in firearms, the Black Flag Army would be defeated.  The battle is difficult to fight. If the main force of the Black Flag Army is still there, it will inevitably launch a counterattack. In fact, the Black Flag Army's counterattack is also a forced action. Only continuous counterattack can prevent the Oprus' advantage.  The seemingly solid wooden city gradually collapsed under the attack of artillery, and the stone walls of the defenders standing on the wooden walls fell down and broke into several pieces. This also confirmed Lyman's previous speculation that most of the soldiers were fake.  . For almost half an hour, Rellington stopped firing all the artillery in his team until the barrels were too hot to fire anymore. The densely packed Opulu soldiers began to attack in the direction of the Black Flag Army camp, but even the gunfire stopped.  The previous cavalry team of several hundred people was gone. After pouring so many artillery shells, it was discovered that there were no defenders at all in the outer camp. Perhaps the only thing left in the camp was the moment Lehmann retreated after his observation.  The few soldiers also withdrew. ¡°Your Majesty!  " The ordering soldier came quickly and knelt down on one knee: "The outer camp of the Black Flag Army is empty!  " Leman's face became more and more ugly. He suddenly felt that he was being played. He thought that the letter could give Fang Jie an illusion, but Fang Jie actually gave him an illusion. Although it is not clear why the Black Flag Army suddenly  They had time to retreat, but it was certain that they retreated safely. In such a confrontation, the situation faced was that whoever turned around and fled first would be beaten quickly.  camp, and then found that there was no one in the camp. After the artillery fire, a layer of new soil with wisps of smoke was sprinkled on the ground. The soldiers of the Opuru Empire stepped on this new soil and entered the Black Flag Army.  The enemy who had resisted them here for so many days in the outer camp had disappeared. Except for the area that was bombarded by artillery fire, the rest of the camp was very orderly. This shows that the Black Flag Army did not withdraw.  There is no rush, it is obvious that they have been preparing for it for a long time. It can be speculated that the Black Flag Army must have allowed the troops from the outer camp to slowly withdraw into Phoenix Tower within a few days, and then leave the city through Phoenix Tower.  First, as long as the outer camp is still brightly lit, the Opulus will not be able to detect anything unless they get very close. ¡°There is not a grain of food left.  " Rellington saw that Lyman had entered the camp and hurried up and said: "Everything has been taken away, as if the people and horses evaporated out of thin air overnight.  Apart from the tent, there was nothing left that could be taken away.  I saw some pots and stoves not far away. They should have been left by the people who stayed behind when they were eating. Only these people left in a hurry, so the pots and stoves are still there.  Judging from the number, there were less than 1,500 people left in the outer camp.  " Leman's face was uncertain. He really couldn't understand why the Black Flag Army suddenly withdrew. Although he had thought that there might be some trouble behind Fang Jie's back, he left Dongjiang behind like this.No matter how you analyze it, it doesn¡¯t look like Fang Jie¡¯s character.  "Keep going forward and try to attack the Phoenix Tower." Lyman ordered.  Rellington immediately dispatched troops to attack, and soon, the sound of cannons sounded again.  "Report!" The messenger rushed from a distance: "The Phoenix Tower defenders are still there, and the resistance is extremely fierce. Moreover, they have transported artillery onto the city wall and installed a large number of ballistae vehicles. The attacking team in front has been blocked!  "The defenders of Phoenix Tower are still there?" Lyman frowned, lost in thought.  "Send more troops to attack!" He suddenly ordered: "Rellington, lead the troops to attack personally." Reilington responded and led the people up personally.  Half an hour later, Leilington came back with a livid face and said that the Phoenix Tower defenders had many troops and the resistance was extremely strong.  Moreover, Fang Jie seemed to have left behind all the equipment of the firearms camp, making it difficult to attack them for a while.  Because the artillery of the Black Flag Army was installed on the city wall, the range was slightly increased, but it was just enough to bombard Rellington's artillery position, so that without artillery support, it was difficult for the Oprus army to get close.  "Fang Jie is indeed in some kind of trouble, so he took advantage of my letter to leave. He left all his firearms at the Phoenix Tower and left heavy troops to guard him, because he was afraid that I would catch up." Lyman murmured  After a few words, he ordered: "Attack day and night, you and Purline's army attack alternately. Don't count the cost, the Phoenix Tower must be defeated!"
