Chapter 189 counterattacks
Chapter 189 counterattacks
The huge siege beasts like the wild beasts began to slowly press toward the Black Banner Army camp. These scary and strange monsters seemed to have an unstoppable power.They are too tall and shocking.To move these siege beasts, the manpower required is even greater.
Because this type of construction is impossible to install on wheels, it can only be moved by rolling wood.Such a heavy and huge siege beast, if you want to move along the rolling wood, each frame needs thousands of people, or even more.Countless soldiers of the Apulu Empire lined up and dragged the siege beast with ropes.
The hard cry, one after another.
It took at least a few hours to move these siege beasts from the Oppru Empire Army Battalion.So at the beginning of the war, the fight had nothing to do with these siege beasts.
Lehman sat on a temporary elevated platform and looked up at the battle in front of him with thousands of eyes.
The middle-aged general who was sent by Xiulens to take over the army is already, and now he is commanding his lieutenant general in front.An Oppru, who looks about fifty years old, has gray hair and beard.His figure is a little fat, so it is a bit funny to ride on the war horse to and fro to promote the attack.
"fire!"
With the order of the general named Buick, the Opulu artillery began to show power.
This is to prevent the Black Flag ’s counterattack. Before the siege beasts move, the Black Flag ’s cavalry can have enough time and space to form a counterattack. The hurricane light cavalry ca n’t destroy the siege beast , But at least can disturb the foreign soldiers who pull the siege beast.
Therefore, from the beginning, the troops of the Opuru people were extremely huge.
A few days after Lehman arrived here, his brigade and Fang Jie ’s cavalry almost arrived in no particular order.At this time, the first attack was the Opulu army originally stationed outside Phoenix, while Lehman's direct army did not dispatch.
Buick did not want to die, so he knew he had only one chance.
If today ’s performance is not enough to impress His Majesty Lehman, he is quite sure that his life will end before dark.Even if he survived on the battlefield, he could not avoid the punishment of His Majesty the Emperor.A person who has reached his position will always be more reluctant than ordinary people.
Right status, Jinyiyushi.
These things make people nostalgic.
Amidst the roar of the artillery, a thick smoke rose from the Black Banner position.In the present era, the firearms of the Apulu Empire represent the most advanced level of firearms.Although the artillery and muskets equipped by the Xieqi Black Flag Armament Battalion are not weaker than those of the Opuru in terms of power and range, they cannot be compared in terms of scale.
The dense shells are frightening.
The battalions of the battalions had already prepared for the battle. When the first artillery fell, the black flag soldiers on the front line and the heroes on the green forest road in eastern Xinjiang entered the trenches that had been dug in advance. .It is no wonder that the fortifications that emerged in modern warfare appear on the earth of this era.
Since the war with the foreigners, the Hans have gradually mastered a set of methods to defend against the foreigners' attacks.In fact, this is also thanks to the Chu people, who brought a lot of useful experience to the Han people at the cost of annihilation.
The shells of this era are far less lethal than Fang Jie ’s previous life.
Therefore, as long as the soldiers lying in the trenches are not bad luck, the casualties will not be too heavy.However, the intensity of the shells exceeded the expectations of the Black Flag generals. After several rounds of salvo, the soldiers lying in the trenches of the Black Flag position were covered with a layer of soil.
There can be no casualties in war.
It is a good wish to hope to win without a soldier or a soldier.As long as the war starts, people will die.
Lehman's face slightly changed on the high platform. Last night, Fang Xie didn't send anyone to surprise his expectations. At the beginning of the war today, the reaction of the Black Flag Army was beyond his expectations, so his heart was gloomy. Getting stronger and stronger.
The opponent becomes unpredictable, which is definitely not a good thing.
"No counterattack ..."
Lehman frowned.
Augusta, who was sticking to his side, also did not understand. According to intelligence analysis, the Black Flag ’s best tactic is to rely on the light cavalry to counterattack.This tactic was used by the Black Banner Army to the extreme when Moxus and Xiulens attacked the Malanshan Pass.Each of the Opru's offensives will greet the counterattack of the Black Flag Light Horse.
But today, obviously Fang Jie does not have this mood.
Lehman had some faint concerns. He always felt that Fang Jie would have some unexpected behavior.
Lehman was worried about this, but Buick, who was commanding on the front line, was not in a state of confusion.All he needs to do is show his fearlessness in front of Lehman.
After several rounds of artillery fire, Buick pulled out his command knife.
"attack!"
...
...
In order to allow the siege beast to reach the battlefield safely, at least 30,000 Opru soldiers began to attack, they must attack to suppress the black flag army, so that the black flag army can not come out.Calculated according to the speed of the siege beast, they must keep their enemies under pressure for at least two hours.
For the attacking side, this is by no means a simple matter.
While putting pressure on the enemy, it is also putting pressure on yourself.Sometimes, the enemy has not been crushed by the pressure, and he will lose because he can't bear the loss.
In the current comparison of troops, the Opru people have an absolute advantage.In terms of weapon comparison, the Oppru advantage is also huge.
In particular, the attacking Oppru soldiers knew His Majesty Lehman's attitude.
They must forget about death and just put pressure on the enemy.
The density of the bullets was indescribable. The dust that was hit by the bullets on the trench slopes became a piece of dust, just like a dark yellow fog suddenly appeared on the side of the Black Banner.When the archers in the front battalion were suppressed, he could not stand up, while the enemy was downwind, and the bullets had a longer range than before.But for the Black Banner Army, the headwinds ... have a greater impact on feather arrows.
A hard bow that could have thrown feather arrows at a 200-step throw would be greatly discounted in the case of headwinds.The feather arrow is too fluttering. When the range exceeds 60 steps, the power will be weakened, and the wind will blow away.Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the pressure on the Black Flag Army was indeed great.
There is no doubt that Lehman is definitely an excellent general.
He knows the climate of East Xinjiang, and there can be no wind for ten days.And as long as there is wind, he can take a strong initiative.
"Rock thrower!"
Nalan Dingdong had come down from the city wall and ordered aloud.
Gunshots and gunshots shattered his shouts, and it was clear that the horn of command had become useless to convey the command.At this time, relying on the banner language.
The herald soldiers began to wave huge battle flags. Each battalion had soldiers dedicated to observing the slogans, and quickly conveyed Narandingdong's order.
Behind the array, dozens of stone dumpers are ready.
The huge stone was lifted up by several people, suddenly loosened the noose, and swung it back with a big arm. The stone was then sent to the sky.
Although the range of the stone thrower will also be affected by the wind, it is not so affected because of the gravity of the stone.Such a counterattack is just to break up the Opru's volleyball formation, and to give the Black Flag archers and the soldiers operating crossbow vehicles a chance to counterattack.The loading speed of the stone throwing vehicle is far less than that of the artillery, and it is too bulky and difficult to move once it is installed.
Therefore, the scope of the blow is almost fixed in that area.
Therefore, stone-throwing vehicles are generally used for siege and rarely used in field operations.
For a fixed target attack, the stone throwing car may not be accurate for the first time, nor for the second time, but after several commissions, it can basically cause a devastating attack on the city wall.However, in the field, there is no fixed target to fight.Those huge siege beasts are still far from the range of the stone thrower.
fierce
Unspeakably intense.
At the beginning, the two sides competed in long-range weapons, because the Opuru had the advantage.
Nalan Dingdong has been running on the ground, giving orders constantly.He now knows what is the counterattack plan formulated by Fang Jie, but it is not yet time.
After more than one hour of fighting in this way, the pressure on the Opru side clearly began to weaken.If the muskets of this era are fired continuously, it is a very dangerous thing.Therefore, the team needs to be replaced. The front team and the back team can of course switch without gaps, but after an hour, most of the soldiers ’muskets start to heat up, and they need to mobilize the second echelon from behind. The opportunity for the army to fight back.
Nalan Dingdong has a lot of experience in fighting against the Opuru, so Fang Jie gave him the grasp of time.
"Move!"
Immediately after feeling that the Oopru's shooting began to be sparse, Nalandingdong immediately issued an order.
With his military orders, the archers of each battalion came out of the trenches, completed the array in the shortest time, and began to fight back.Feather arrows were distributed to them suddenly last night, not their own feather arrows.The feather arrows sent to them were mobilized from the Black Flag cavalry.And these feather arrows, the cavalry spent two days each person at least dozens of modified.
Increase.
It's that simple.
But such a simple method can reduce the influence of feather arrows by the wind a lot.
Projection!
What a magnificent scene that nearly 20,000 archers counterattacked?The density of feather arrows can almost block the color of the sky.In this gap where the Oprusian front team and back team exchanged, the Black Flag Army started a strong counterattack.
not only that!
To the surprise of all Opelians, the Black Flag ’s counterattack was not accomplished by cavalry, but by the archers!
This is unreasonable!
No one uses troops like this!
Therefore, many generals of Opru were surprised.
The neat arrow array began to move forward, always maintaining the firing density of feather arrows.This level of counterattack started a little bit, and then the Opuru people have been passive for a long time.When the muskets are shot intensively, they suppress the archers of the Black Flag Army, and when the archers shoot intensively, they can also suppress the opponent.
The Oppru formation immediately became a bit chaotic.
"let's start!"
Na Lan Ding Dong ordered.
A large flag of special colors waved, and the entire position immediately became dusty!
It wasn't the Opru's artillery that showed up again, but countless soldiers of the Black Flag began to shovel and dig the ground!
Lyman, who was sitting on the high platform, stood up sharply, and his face became a little difficult to look at.He raised his eyes for thousands of miles and watched the dust on the opposite Black Flag position. His eyes were rounded to the extreme.
"Solution ..."
Lyman's voice squeezed out the name, full of anger.
No one expected that the Black Flag ’s counterattack would be this way.
After the suppression, the archer began to retreat in an orderly manner, and there was no shadow of a black flag soldier in the dusty place!
"They ... are they digging trenches?"
Augusta put his eyes down, his face inconceivable: "This ... this is so rogue ..."
Someone is laughing on the wall of Phoenix Terrace.
He has a different experience than everyone in this world, so ... he always surprises people.
