July 18, 290 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

22:48 p.m.

Within the territory of the Lorraine Empire, on the South Bank of the shunau River, Lyle city.

Since the sunset this evening, after a large cavalry attacked, the atmosphere of the whole Lyle city suddenly became tense.

Now dressed in armor, Oren stood on the north wall of Lyle and looked solemnly at the camp of the britannian army outside the north wall.

Ten generals with the same helmet and armor stood silently behind Ou Ren, looking at the brightly lit British army camp outside the city wall with the same look of awe.

The headquarters of the britannian army was set up just north of Lyle.

In the three directions of East, West and south, there is a light cavalry team with a scale of only about 100 people to guard.

After seeing the arrangement of the britannian army, Ou Ren understood what the commander of the britannian Army wanted to do - the base camp was located in the north of Lyle City, and the three walls of Lyle city sent a light cavalry team to monitor and prevent anyone from leaving the city!

Needless to say, in the north, which is personally in charge of the large army, once someone is found to secretly climb over the wall or come out from the gate in the other three directions, the three light cavalry teams responsible for one wall will snipe it!

Because Lyle is only a small city with a maximum population of only 20000 people, the walls on each side will not be too long. A light cavalry team with a scale of about 100 people is enough to monitor one wall.

A few hours ago, shortly after the arrival of the British army, Ou Jen conducted an experiment and sent two waves of men and horses to climb over the East and west walls respectively.

As soon as these two waves of people and horses turned out from the wall, they were immediately found by the light cavalry of the British army and then sniped and killed by them.

No one succeeded in breaking through the britannian blockade.

In other words, now the Lyle city has become an isolated city under the ingenious force allocation of the British army. The people in the city can't go out and report to others for support!

Standing on the wall of the North City, looking at Ou Ren, the base camp of the British army in the distance, "tut", and then secretly scolded:

"The commander of this britannian army is really a madman... He really attacked the city with only about 5000 cavalry... Doesn't he know that there are 5000 troops in Lyle?"

Since the British army had camped in the north of Lyle, Ou Ren judged that the total strength of the British army was about 5000 based on the number of cooking smoke in the camp - consistent with the information sent by ERD this afternoon.

Ou Ren really couldn't figure out whether the commander of the britannian army was too stupid or had some strange strategy. He dared to lead troops with a total strength similar to that of the city guarding side, and they were all cavalry troops to attack the city.

However, Ou Ren thought it over and rejected the idea that "the commander of this British army is a fool".

——Because this britannian army succeeded in destroying all 10000 troops of Simeon, it means that the commander of this britannian army will never be a stupid man.

So... It means that the commander of the britannian army must have some strange plan or rely on to dare to attack here

——Ou Ren narrowed his eyes and thought in his heart.

While Ou Ren was secretly thinking about what strange strategy the commander of the British army would use to attack the city, a general standing behind him suddenly said:

"General Ou Ren, I have a suggestion."

"Say."

"The total strength of the britannian army outside the city is about the same as ours, and it comes from a long distance. We might as well mobilize all the troops in the city, sneak outside the city and attack the britannian army at night!"

To be honest, the general's suggestion is not bad, but Ou Ren does not intend to adopt it.

"No." Ou Ren said in his usual flat tone, "your plan is still too reckless. The enemy dares to attack us by relying on troops equivalent to ours. It represents that the commander of the British army must have some strange strategy or rely on it to dare to attack."

"When we don't know the enemy's intention, we'd better adopt a steady strategy. First, quietly defend the city and observe the enemy's movements. First make sure we don't lose, and then find a way to defeat the enemy. "

"Yes, yes!" The general replied in a panic.

"First make sure you won't lose, and then find a way to defeat the enemy" -- Ou Ren, who is stable in character and military style, has always regarded this criterion as his truth.

If the British Army outside the city dares to attack, Ou Ren is confident that even if all the British Army outside the city are sold out, the Lyle city will not fall.

Therefore, in the short term, as long as we stick to Lyle City, it is absolutely safe.

If the britannian army outside the city plans to fight with him, Oren will be even more afraid. This Lyle city is a transfer station for baggage. It specially sends all kinds of baggage to the baggage transfer stations of the three army camps on the North Bank of the shunau river. There is a huge amount of baggage in the city. Other materials, let alone military food, are enough for the 5000 troops here, In addition, more than 10000 residents here eat for more than half a year.

Therefore, in the long run, as long as we stick to Lyle City, it is absolutely safe.

In any case, as long as we stick to Lyle city and don't do those things that increase the risk of "sending troops out of the city to sneak attack", then Lyle city is absolutely safe.

Therefore, Ou Ren only plans to defend Lyle city first, ensure that he will never be defeated by the enemy, and then slowly observe the enemy to see what the British Army outside the city is going to do. He then tries to find a way to defeat the British Army outside the city.

Ou Ren, who looked at the camp of the British army in the north, suddenly raised his eyebrow.

Because he found something that seemed very unusual.

Why... The British army camp outside the city should be so far away from Lyle

——Ou Ren said in doubt.

The britannian army outside the city was set very far away for some reason. When standing on the north city wall and looking at the britannian army camp in the distance, the britannian army camp was so small that it was almost a small point.

Although I don't know why the commander of the britannian army set the camp so far away from here, Ou Ren didn't care much. He just thought it might be the commander's military habit.

"Ha..."

Ou Ren yawned greatly.

After thinking for a long time, Ou Ren, who couldn't figure out what strange strategies the commander of the British army would have, decided to have a rest.

So Ou Ren turned and walked down the wall.

As he walked under the wall, he followed the dozen generals who had been standing behind him just now and said:

"I'm going to have a rest now. You should remember to stand guard in turn according to the timetable I made to monitor the enemy outside the city and our army inside the city. If there is any change in the enemy outside the city, you should inform me immediately. If any soldier or general dares to neglect patrol or guard, he will be hanged directly."

"Yes!!"

The dozen generals gave a standard military salute to Ou Ren, who had begun to walk under the wall, and then shouted in unison.

……

North of Lyle City, dungar's army camp, somewhere.

"I'm sleepy... Deng Jiaer..."

Alan, with messy hair, was rubbing his eyes and following Deng Jiaer.

The tone is weak, which is the customary tone of people who have just woke up.

It's almost 23 o'clock in the evening. In the past, it's Alan's time to go to bed.

So, just now Alan was comfortably lying on her bed and began to go to bed.

However, not long after Alan fell asleep, she was rudely shaken up by Deng Jiaer.

"Alan, get up! Show you a good thing! "

——This is what Deng Jiaer said to Alan when she woke him up more than ten minutes ago.

Although she didn't understand what good thing Deng Jia'er had to show her, Alan, who was naturally curious and eager to know what it was, still endured sleep and followed Deng Jia'er to a place where Alan didn't know where it was.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on."

Deng Jiaer, who was walking in front of Alan, made a sound and comforted Alan who couldn't open his eyes behind him.

Finally, they stopped by a carriage covered with a thick layer of black cloth.

When she came to the carriage, Deng Jiaer walked quickly and grabbed a corner of the black cloth covered on the carriage.

"Alan, don't you always ask me today, what can I do to capture the Lyle city?"

Speaking of this, Deng Jiaer put on a mysterious smile.

"At the back of this carriage - there is my secret weapon. The secret weapon used to capture Lyle. "

"Oh?"

Deng Jiaer's words successfully aroused Alan's interest, and most of his sleepiness disappeared.

"What secret weapon? Is it a new weapon secretly developed by our British Empire? "

"... it's not such a high-end thing, it's just small things that can be seen everywhere in the market. Forget it, I'd better not say more. You can watch it directly! "

After that, Deng Jiaer grabbed a corner of black cloth and pulled it violently!

Pulling the black cloth down to the ground revealed what was in the back of the carriage.

When Deng Jiaer pulled off the black cloth, Alan stared at the carriage.

After seeing what was in the carriage, Alan's normally open eyes suddenly opened.

"Deng Jiaer? Is this what you call the secret weapon for the capture of Lyle? "

"Well, that's right."

Deng Jia'er patted the contents of the carriage with a proud face.

"This is what I call a secret weapon. We rely on it to capture Lyle!"
