Chapter 1187

The most famous frontier cities in the Sui Dynasty are fan Gu in the northwest and Fenghuang platform in the East.

Fang Xie seems to leave a deep mark in both places.

He started from fan Gu, step by step, and became the Optimus of the Central Plains. He started from Chang'an and walked step by step to become the Savior of eastern Xinjiang. Most of the time, people can't predict who they know will stand out. For example, in the old neighborhoods on the 23rd Street in the east of Chang'an City, they all thought that Lord Xiao Fang was a good person, but they never thought that Lord Xiao Fang would one day become the person above tens of thousands of people.

Without the expectation of cashier LAN dingdong, the Mufu soldiers in the east of shilixia dare not do anything to the cavalry of the other team. After learning that Fang Xie took his soldiers to fenghuangtai, the general of Mu's house immediately made a decision to close the four doors and forbid anyone to leave the city.

This is fear.

By the time Fang Xie arrived at Fenghuang platform, the war had not really begun.

Lehmann seems to be deliberately waiting for him to come. He won't really make a move until he comes.

In Lehmann's eyes, Nalan dingdong is not an opponent at all.

Standing at the head of phoenix platform, looking at those huge things like wild beasts that have stood up in the oplu army camp opposite, Fang Xie knows that Lehmann is showing off his force to him. Lehmann wanted to tell Fang Xie that he could do nothing if he wanted to.

It's really shocking to build so many and so huge siege equipment in just five or six days. This is a very common but effective strategy to frighten the enemy, which has been used by more than one person on the battlefield at all times, at home and abroad.

Psychological warfare

Fang Xie put down his eyes, pointed to the huge siege equipment and said, "the real function of these things is to frighten people... Big, always frightening."

"It's estimated that Lehmann wants to build an advantage at the beginning by height."

Nalanding East Road: "If he wants to attack Phoenix Terrace, he must first break through the company camp outside the city. There is no danger outside the city. Once he fights, he will fight to the flesh. The role of these beast like things he ordered to build in attacking the city is not main, but mainly aimed at the company camp outside. Once these huge things are pushed over, foreigners will have a high advantage and fire guns will be fired at that time The distance will be increased... And when our archers shoot back, the damage to the enemy will become minimal. "

Fang Xie nodded: "Lehmann is right. I don't have a gun in my hand."

He looked at the outside and said slowly, "he knows very well that if I hurry, I must rush in with a light horse. I can't go with heavy artillery. Without artillery, I won't cause a fundamental blow to those huge siege instruments... He's right."

"However, he only remembered the artillery, but forgot that there was no artillery in the Central Plains before the foreigners came, but used a backward weapon that the foreigners despised."

Nalan dingdong certainly knows what Fang explained.

Trebuchet

In fact, in this era, the throwing distance of the riprap truck is no worse than that of the artillery. The largest riprap truck is not difficult to run the boulder for 500 meters. Even if the foreign Musketeers board the siege equipment, the range of the Musketeers is far from 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 carts are something that already exists. They just need to be assembled. There are dozens of small riprap carts on the wall of Phoenix Tower. His subordinates checked the warehouse... There are 20 large riprap carts used in the field siege."

Fang Xie said, "at the beginning, fenghuangtai was the outpost where the Sui Dynasty invaded the East Chu. It's not surprising that there are a lot of siege equipment here."

"It took foreigners six days to show their strength, and you also took six days to announce to foreigners that you can do the same... Good, no momentum."

Fang Xie praised him, and then looked at Nalan dingdong: "a while ago, there was news from the northwest that song Zihui broke the Mongolian Yuan army and wiped out more than 100000 Mongolian Yuan wolves. I promoted him to a general and a first-class hou... You did no worse than song Zihui, and you deserve these things."

Nalan dingdong was stunned, and then knelt down on one knee: "Lord Xie!"

"Get up."

"People have been saying that I am the first foreign surname Wang in more than 200 years since the founding of the great Sui Dynasty, which is nothing. If you calculate the time, you may be the only foreign nationality who has been granted the first rank of general in the country established by the Han people in the history of the Central Plains for more than 2000 years."

"That's great."

Fang explained.

Nalan dingdong smiled awkwardly, but his heart was excited beyond words.

"You and song Zihui, one east and one west, let me rest assured."

Fang Xie looked at Nalan dingdong and said with a smile: "I'll always be down-to-earth and even happy with your men. Let me tell you something in advance... After the war with foreigners is over, you can stay in eastern Xinjiang for a while. I met Mu Guangling and Wei'an before I came. I let Mu Guangling guard the place to the east of the customs in the north of Malan mountain. Let Wei'an guard the place to the south of Malan mountain... After the war is over, you'll be happy Just grab it. "

Nalan dingdong couldn't help laughing and was especially happy.

"Who will fight in the first battle?"

Nalan Ding said, "my subordinates really want to understand how capable Lehmann, who destroyed countless countries in this rumor, is."

"No hurry"

Fang Xie said slowly, "if you want to see all the means of the enemy, the most direct way is to attack, and the safest way is to defend... First, let's see how Lyman moves."

……

……

Fang Xie did not guess wrong. Before Liang Jun went to war, Lehmann sent a letter. This is an old bridge section that can't be any older. Fang Xie can know what Lehmann wants without even thinking about it. Fang Xie looked at the envelope. The Chinese characters on it were very serious, so Fang Xie was in a bad mood immediately.

In fact, he didn't have to open the envelope and knew what would be written in Lehmann's handwritten letter.

"First, Lehmann wants to see me and talk to me before the war. Second, he will politely point out that I am not his opponent and hope I can know current affairs. Third, he advised me to think about my soldiers. He thought I would die a lot of soldiers."

Fang Xie threw the envelope to the foreigner who delivered the letter: "open it and have a look."

The foreigner who delivered the letter was Augusta, a famous warrior in the opru Empire and one of Lyman's personal guards. It is said that this man once pulled out a big tree in the street, once smashed a running horse with a fist, and once lifted a golden boulder with one arm.

Augusta's face was not good-looking. He was a little angry. The Han leader in front of him is too arrogant. In his opinion, no one in the world can show his arrogance in front of Lyman the great.

He snorted coldly and opened the envelope.

Then his face changed.

Sure enough, the content of the letter is almost the same as what Fang Xie said before. Lehmann meant to have a face-to-face conversation with the Fang before the war between the two armies. Second, Lehmann believes that the force of the Han people is far from the opponent of the opru people. If Fang Xie really thinks of the Han people, it is better to give up resistance. Third, if there is war... The black flag army will be destroyed.

Augusta's face was even worse.

"Go back and tell Lehmann that I will meet with him, but not before the war, but after the war. He also wants to see me as a winner, and so do I. as for the rest... I think it's just because if you just write a sentence, you surrender, it doesn't seem to be sincere, so it's a random number of words."

"I'll make an exception not to kill you."

Fang Xie waved his hand: "let's go."

Augusta hesitated, said nothing, and turned away. When he came out, his muscles were tight because he could see hatred in the eyes of the Han people. Although Fang explained that he would not kill him, he was not sure whether Fang Xie's men would suddenly kill him. He knew that the practitioners among the Han people were particularly powerful. Although he is gifted, this pure muscle strength is obviously not at the same level as those strange spiritual strength.

Fortunately, those Han people really didn't take action.

"Lyman is boring."

Xiang qingniu couldn't help humming: "doesn't this guy think that he can make hundreds of thousands of troops surrender immediately with a letter?"

"No"

Fang Xie shook his head: "this letter is not the purpose. His purpose is to let his men look at me carefully. He wants to use this method to find out my character, my style of work, even my appearance and my voice. Augusta will remember all this and tell Lyman the original."

Xiang qingniu was stunned and spat: "spat! These foreigners are really cunning."

"So you just blew that man back?"

Xiang qingniu asked.

Fang Xie smiled and said, "show him something that makes the enemy feel my weakness. He will be very happy."

"For example?"

Xiang qingniu asked again.

"Such as self righteous."

Fang Xie answered.

"But... Lyman won't believe it."

"Then why did you do it?"

Xiang qingniu asked curiously.

Fang Xie said, "because he wants to see, and he doesn't believe it or not, but accounting is included. Sometimes, a detail that he knows is wrong will not be ignored, because he will always think whether this detail is wrong or true?"

Xiang qingniu shook his head: "it's too complicated. I don't want to."

……

……

"Common problems of young men, especially young men with certain achievements."

After Lehmann heard Augusta's words, there was a slight arc on the corner of his mouth.

Augusta was not a man with a deep city government. After hearing Lehmann's words, he said, "I also think this solution is too arrogant and self righteous."

"As I said just now, that's a common problem of young people, especially young people with some achievements. There are not a few such people under my control. But..."

Lehmann's tone changed: "Fang Xie is definitely not such a person."

"Why?"

Asked Augusta.

Lehmann said slowly, "because he didn't have a little achievement, his achievement has been great."

Augusta doesn't understand.

Lehmann won't explain anything.

"Augusta, are you ready?"

Lehmann suddenly asked.

"I'm ready!"

Augusta bowed his head: "my majesty, if you order, I will not withdraw from the battlefield unless I die."

"No"

Lehmann shook his head again: "I'm not asking you to go to the battlefield, I'm asking you to be ready to meet the guests. If there's no accident, Fang Xie will send someone to see me. It's like I sent you to see him, but he won't use the same way as me. There are many real practitioners under him, which are much stronger than those under Chu Juzheng."

Lehmann stretched. "I'm going to bed."

Augusta looked solemn, turned out of the tent and stood at the door like an iron tower.
