Chapter 1189 so counterattack
Chapter 1189: Such a counterattack
The huge siege beasts, like prehistoric beasts, began to slowly press towards the Black Flag Army camp. These terrifying and weird giant beasts seemed to have an unstoppable power. They were too tall and too shocking. If they wanted to move these siege beasts, the manpower needed was even greater.
Because it is impossible to install wheels in this kind of construction, it can only be moved by rolling wood. Such a heavy and huge siege beast needs thousands of people, or even more, to move along the rolling wood. The soldiers of the Oplu Empire lined up in a row and pulled the siege beast forward with ropes.
The thrilling shouts came one after another.
It takes at least several hours to move these siege beasts from the Oplu Empire army camp. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the fighting had nothing to do with these siege beasts.
Lehman sat on a temporary high platform, holding a thousand eyes to watch the war ahead.
The middle-aged general sent by Shuluns to take over the army was already in command, and now he was commanding his deputy. An Oplut, who looked about fifty years old, had gray hair and beard. His body was a little obese, so his figure was riding back and forth on the war horse and urging the attack to promote the attack.
"fire!"
With the order of this general named Buicto, the Oplu's artillery began to show its power.
This is to prevent the Black Flag Army from counter-charge. Before the siege beasts move, the Black Flag Army's cavalry can have enough time and space to form a counter-attack. Although the light cavalry as fast as the wind cannot destroy the siege beasts, at least they can raid the foreign soldiers who pull the siege beasts.
Therefore, the Oplus invested extremely huge troops from the very beginning.
A few days after Leman arrived here, his large group of troops and Fang Jie's cavalry arrived almost indiscriminately. At this time, the first attack was the Oplu army originally stationed outside the Phoenix Platform, while Leman's direct army did not dispatch.
Buicko didn't want to die, so he knew he had only one chance.
If his performance today is not enough to impress His Majesty Leman, he is sure that his life will end before dark. Even if he can survive by chance on the battlefield, he will not be able to avoid His Majesty's punishment. A person who has reached his position will always be more reluctant than ordinary people.
Rights and status, wealth and wealth.
These things make people nostalgic.
Amid the roar of artillery, thick smoke rose from the Black Flag Army position. In this era, the firearms of the Oplu Empire represent the most advanced level of firearms. Although the artillery and muskets equipped by the Fangjie Black Flag Army battalion are not weaker than those of the Oplus in terms of power and range, they cannot be compared in terms of scale.
The dense shells are frightening.
The troops of each battalion were already ready to fight. When the first artillery fell, the Black Flag Army soldiers on the front line and the heroes on the Green Forest Road in the East Xinjiang entered the trenches dug in advance. It was no longer a strange thing that the fortifications that appeared in modern warfare appeared on the land of this era.
Since going to war with foreigners, the Han people have gradually mastered a set of methods to defend against foreigners' attacks. In fact, this is also thanks to the Chu people, who have brought a lot of useful experience to the Han people at the cost of destroying the country.
The shells in this era are far less lethal than Fang Jie's previous life.
Therefore, as long as the soldiers lying in the trenches were not particularly lucky, the casualties would not be too heavy. However, the density of shells was still beyond the expectations of the soldiers of the Black Flag Army. After several rounds of volleys, each of the soldiers lying on the trenches of the Black Flag Army's position was covered with a layer of soil.
There is no possibility of no casualties in war.
Hope to win without spending a soldier is just a good wish. As long as the war begins, people will die.
Leman's face changed slightly, and Fang Jie did not send anyone to him last night, which was beyond his expectations. At the beginning of the war today, the Black Flag Army's reaction was beyond his expectations, so the gloom in his heart became stronger and stronger.
It is definitely not a good thing that opponents become unpredictable.
"No counterattack..."
Leman frowned.
Augusta, who was standing by his side, was also a little confused. According to intelligence analysis, the Black Flag Army's best tactic was to rely on the light cavalry counterattack. This tactic was exerted to the extreme by the Black Flag Army when Mox and Seurence attacked Malanshan Pass. Every time the Oplus attacked, it would welcome the Black Flag Army's light cavalry counterattack.
But today, Fang Jie obviously didn't have this mood.
Leman felt a little worried, and he always felt that Fang Jie would have acted unexpectedly.
Lehman was worried about these things, but Buicto, who was commanding on the front line, was not in the mood to think about it. All he needed to do was to show his fearlessness in front of Lehman.
After several rounds of cannon fire, Buicko drew out his command knife.
"attack!"
...
...
In order to allow the siege beast to arrive at the battlefield safely, at least 30,000 Oprust soldiers began to attack. They had to attack to suppress the Black Flag Army and prevent the Black Flag Army from coming out. According to the speed of the siege beast's advancement, they had to keep putting pressure on their enemies for at least two hours.
For the attacking side, this is by no means an easy task.
While putting pressure on the enemy, you are also putting pressure on yourself. Sometimes, before the enemy is overwhelmed by the pressure, you will be defeated because you can't bear the losses.
In terms of current military strength, the Oplus have an absolute advantage. In terms of weapons, the Oplus have also huge advantages.
In particular, the attacking Oplu soldiers knew His Majesty Lehman's attitude.
They must forget death and just put pressure on the enemy.
The density of bullets is indescribable. The dust from bullets was connected on the slopes of the trenches, just like a layer of dim yellow fog suddenly appeared on the Black Flag Army's position. The archers in the front battalions were suppressed so that he could not raise his head. The enemy was in the wind, and the range of bullets was larger than before. However, for the Black Flag Army, the headwind... had a greater impact on feather arrows.
The hard bow that could have been shot and sent out for 200 steps will be greatly reduced in the face of the wind. The feather arrow is too floating, and its power will be weakened when the range exceeds 60 steps, and it will be blown away by the wind. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Black Flag Army was indeed under great pressure.
There is no doubt that Lehman is definitely an excellent general.
He knew that the climate in Dongjiang would not be without wind for ten days. As long as there was wind, he could take the initiative.
"Stone throwing cart!"
Nalan Dingdong had already come down from the city wall and gave a loud order.
The sound of cannons and gunfire shattered his shouts. It was obviously useless to convey the command horn. At this time, it was relying on the flag language.
The messengers began to wave the huge battle flags, and each battalion had soldiers who were specifically responsible for observing the flag-speaking, and quickly conveyed Nalan Dingdong's orders.
Behind the array, dozens of stone throwers were ready.
The huge stone was carried on by several people, and suddenly released the noose, and the arms were swung back in a flash. The stone was then sent to the sky.
Although the range of the stone thrower is also affected by the wind, it is not very affected by the gravity of the stone. Such a counterattack is just to break the Oplute ferry formation and find an opportunity for the Black Flag Army archers and soldiers operating the crossbow truck to counterattack. The loading speed of the stone thrower is far less fast than the cannon, and it is too bulky and difficult to move once installed.
Therefore, the range of the attack is almost fixed in such an area.
Therefore, stone throwing cars are generally used to siege cities and rarely used in field battles.
For fixed targets, the stone throwing car may not be able to hit the first time, nor the second time, but after several debugging, it can basically cause a devastating blow to the city wall. However, in field battles, there is no fixed target to hit. Those huge siege beasts are far from the range of the stone throwing car.
fierce
Unspeakable intenseness.
The Oplus had the advantage in the competition between long-range weapons at the beginning.
Nalan Dingdong had been running around the position and constantly issued orders. He now knew what the counterattack plan was, but it was not yet time.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the pressure on the Oplus obviously began to weaken. It was very dangerous to fire muskets in this era. Therefore, it was necessary to replace the team. The front and back teams could of course be able to switch without gaps, but after an hour, most soldiers' muskets began to heat up, they needed to mobilize the second echelon from behind, which was the opportunity for the Black Flag Army to counterattack.
Nalan Dingdong had a rich experience in fighting with the Oplus, so Fang Jie gave him his grasp of time.
"Move!"
After feeling that the Oplu's shooting began to become less sparse, Nalan Dingdong immediately issued an order.
With his military order, all the archers of each battalion came out of the trenches, completed the array in the shortest time, and then began to fight back. The feather arrows were suddenly distributed to them last night, rather than their own feather arrows before. The feather arrows sent to them were mobilized by the cavalry of the Black Flag Army. The cavalry took two days to transform at least dozens of these feather arrows.
Aggravated.
It's so simple.
However, such a simple method can reduce the influence of the feather arrow by the wind a lot.
Ejection!
What a magnificent scene was the counterattack of nearly 20,000 archers? The density of feather arrows could almost block the color of the sky. In the gap between the Oplutes' front and back teams, the Black Flag Army began a strong counterattack.
More than that!
To all Oplus expected, the Black Flag Army's counterattack was not completed by the cavalry, but by the archers!
This is unreasonable!
No one uses troops like this!
Therefore, many Oplu generals were surprised.
The neat array of arrows began to move forward, always maintaining the firing density of feather arrows. At one point of counterattack at this level, the next step was that the Oplus were passive for a long time. When muskets were intensively fired, they suppressed the archers of the Black Flag Army, and when archers were intensively fired, they could also suppress the opponent.
The formation of the Oplus immediately became a little messy.
"Let's start!"
Nalan Dingdong gave an order.
A flag of special colors was waving, and the entire position immediately became dusty!
It was not the Oplu's artillery that was once again exerted its might, but countless Black Flag soldiers began to wave their shovels to dig the ground!
Leman, sitting on the platform, suddenly stood up, his face becoming a little ugly. He held his eyes wide open and looked at the dust flying on the Black Flag Army position opposite, and his eyes were already wide open.
"Fang Explain..."
The name was squeezed out from Lehman's throat, full of anger.
No one expected that the Black Flag Army's counterattack would be like this.
After suppressing the archers began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the dusty place was filled with dust and smoke, no shadow of a black flag soldier could be seen!
"They... are they digging trenches forward?"
Augusta put down his eyes and looked incredible: "This... this is so rogue..."
On the wall of Phoenix Tower, someone was laughing.
Chapter completed!
