Conquer the World - Chapter 1189
Chapter 118th Fights Back
The giant siege beasts, like the savage beasts, began to press slowly towards the Black Banner Army Camp. These horrible monsters seemed to carry an unstoppable power. They are too tall and too shocking. To move these siege beasts, the manpower required is even greater.
Because it is impossible to install wheels on this construction, it can only be moved by roller wood. Such a heavy siege beast, if you want to move along the rolling wood, each plane needs thousands or even more. Countless Opulu soldiers lined up, pulling the siege beast forward with a rope.
Difficult cry, one after another.
It takes at least a few hours to move these siege beasts from the camp of Opuldi. So at the beginning of the war, the slaughter had nothing to do with these siege beasts.
Lyman was sitting on a temporary elevated platform, holding a thousand miles to watch the battle ahead.
The middle-aged general that Saurons sent to take over the army was already, and now commanded by his lieutenant. An Opulian who was about fifty years old had grey hair and beards. His body is a bit fat, so it seems a little funny to ride back and forth on the horse to promote the attack.
“fire!”
With the order of the general named Buekdo, the artillery of the Opulu began to flourish.
This is to stop the Black Banner’s counter-charge. Before the siege beasts move over, the Black Flag’s cavalry can have enough time and space to form a counterattack. The fast-moving light cavalry, although unable to destroy those siege beasts , But at least it can attack foreign soldiers pulling the siege beast.
Therefore, from the beginning, the Oppurians invested a huge amount of troops.
A few days after Lehman arrived, his squadron and liberated cavalry arrived almost indiscriminately. At this time, the first attack was on the Opulu army, which was originally stationed outside Phoenix Terrace, but Lehmann’s direct army did not dispatch.
Buick didn’t want to die, so he knew he had only one chance.
If today’s performance is not enough to move His Majesty, he is sure that his life will end before dark. Even if he survives on the battlefield, he cannot escape the punishment of His Majesty. A person who has already reached his position will always have more perseverance than ordinary people.
Right status, Jin Yi Yu Shi.
These things make people nostalgic.
In the roar of the artillery, a thick cloud of smoke rose over the Black Banner position. In this era, the firearms of the Opulu Empire represent the most advanced level of firearms. Although the resolved guns and guns equipped by the Black Flag Arms Battalion are not weaker in power and range than the Opulians, they cannot be compared on a scale.
The dense shells are scary.
The battalions were ready for battle. When the first artillery fell, the black flag soldiers on the front line and the heroes on the Donglin Green Forest Road entered the trenches dug in advance . The emergence of fortifications in modern warfare on the earth of this era is not unusual.
Since the war with foreigners, the Hans have gradually mastered a set of defense methods against foreigners. 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 destroying the country.
The artillery shells of this era are far less lethal than their predecessors.
Therefore, as long as the soldiers lying in the trenches are not particularly bad luck, the casualties will not be too heavy. However, the intensity of the shells still exceeded the expectations of the Black Flag officers. After several rounds of volleys, the soldiers lying in the trenches of the Black Flag position covered each layer of soil.
War cannot be without casualties.
It is only a good wish to hope to win without a single death. As long as war starts, people will die.
Lyman’s face sitting on the high platform changed slightly. Last night, Fang Xie didn’t send someone to surprise him. At the beginning of the war, the response of the Black Flag was beyond his expectations, so his heart was gloomy It is getting stronger and stronger.
The opponent becomes elusive, which is definitely not a good thing.
“No counterattack …”
Lyman frowned.
Augusta, who was standing by his side, did not understand it. According to intelligence analysis, the Black Flag’s best tactic was to rely on the light cavalry to charge back. This tactic was used to the extreme by the Black Flag when Moxes and Xiurens attacked the Malan Mountain Pass. Every time the Oprhus attack, we will welcome the counterattack of the Black Flag light riding.
But today, obviously Fang Xie has no such mood.
Lehman had some faint worries, and he always felt that Fang Jie would behave unexpectedly.
Lehman was worried about this, but Buicko, who was on the front line, had no mood to think. All he needed to do was show his bravery in front of Lehman.
After several rounds of artillery salvos, Buicko pulled out his command knife.
“attack!”
…
…
In order for the siege beasts to reach the battlefield safely, at least 30,000 Opulu soldiers began to attack. They must attack to suppress the Black Flag Army and prevent the Black Flag Army from coming out. Based on the speed at which the siege beast advances, they must keep pressure on their enemies for at least two hours.
For the offensive side, this is by no means a simple matter.
While putting pressure on the enemy, he is also putting pressure on himself. Sometimes, the enemy has not been crushed by the pressure, and he will lose because he cannot bear the loss.
In terms of current strength comparison, the Opulians have an absolute advantage. In terms of weapon comparison, the Opulian advantage is also huge.
In particular, the offensive Opulu soldiers knew His Majesty’s attitude.
They must forget death, just put pressure on the enemy.
The density of the bullets was indescribable. The dust hit by the bullets on the trenches of the trenches became a piece of dust, as if a layer of dark yellow fog suddenly appeared on the Black Banner position. The archers at the front of the battalion were suppressed and he couldn’t get up, and the enemy was downwind, and the range of the bullet was larger than before. But for the Black Banner, the headwind … has a greater impact on Yu Jian.
The hard bow that could have thrown the feather arrow out for two hundred steps would have its power greatly reduced in the case of headwinds. The feather arrow is too fluttering. When the range exceeds sixty steps, the strength will weaken, and the wind will blow the sky. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the pressure on the Black Flag Army was really great.
There is no doubt that Lehmann is definitely an excellent general.
He knows the climate of eastern Xinjiang, and there can be no wind for ten days. As long as there is wind, he can take a strong initiative.
“A stone thrower!”
Nalandingdong had come down from the wall and ordered loudly.
The sound of gunfire and gunshots shattered his shout, and the clarion horn was clearly ineffective in order to convey the order. At this time, it is semaphore.
The commander began to wave a huge battle flag, and each battalion had soldiers specifically responsible for observing the semaphore, and quickly conveyed Nalanding’s order.
Behind the array, dozens of rock throwers are ready.
The huge stone was lifted and put on by a few people, loosening the noose suddenly, and swinging it back with his arms, the stone was immediately sent to the sky.
Although the range of the rock thrower is also affected by the wind, the impact is not significant because of the gravity of the stone. This kind of counterattack is only to break the opul gun formation, to give the Black Flag archers and the soldiers operating the crossbow the opportunity to fight back. The loading speed of the rock throwing vehicle is not as fast as the artillery, and it is too bulky, and once installed, it is difficult to move.
Therefore, the scope of the blow is almost fixed in that area.
Therefore, stone throwers are generally used for siege and rarely used in field operations.
As for the blow of the fixed target, the stone thrower may not be able to hit the first time and the second time, but after several debuggings, it can still cause a devastating blow to the city wall. However, in the field, there is no fixed target to hit. Those huge siege beasts are far from the range of the stone thrower.
fierce
Unspeakable fierce.
At the beginning of the long-range weapons battle between the two sides, the Opulians had the advantage.
Nalandingdong has been running on the position, giving orders constantly. He now knows what Fang Xie’s counterattack plan is, but it is not yet.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting in this way, the pressure on the Opulu obviously began to weaken. The continuous firing of muskets in this era is very dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the team. The front team and the back team can of course be converted without gaps, but after an hour, most of the soldiers’ muskets have started to heat up, you need to mobilize the second echelon from behind. This is the black flag. Opportunities for the army to fight back.
Nalandingdong has a wealth of experience in fighting with the Opulians, so Fang Xie gave him the grasp of time.
“Move!”
Immediately after feeling that the Opulu’s shooting started to be sparse, Nalandindong immediately ordered.
With his military order, the archers of the battalions all 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, not their own feather arrows. The feather arrows sent to them were brought together by the Black Banner cavalry. For these arrows, the cavalrymen spent at least two days transforming at least dozens of them.
Heavier.
It’s that simple.
However, such a simple method can reduce the influence of the feather arrow by the wind a lot.
Shoot!
What a magnificent scene was the counterattack of nearly 20,000 archers? The denseness of feather arrows can almost block the color of the sky. In this gap between the former and the Oplus, the Black Flag began a strong counterattack.
not only that!
To the surprise of all Opulians, the Black Flag’s charge was not done by cavalry, but by archers!
This is unreasonable!
No one uses soldiers like this!
Therefore, many Opru generals were surprised.
The neat arrow array began to move forward, always maintaining the firing density of the feather arrows. This level of counterattack started a little bit, and then the Opulians were passive for quite some time. The black flag archers are suppressed when the muskets are intensive, and the opponents are also suppressed when the archers are intensive.
The Oprah’s formation immediately became a little messy.
“let’s start!”
Nalandin ordered.
A special colored flag waved, and the entire position immediately became dusty!
It was not the Opul artillery that re-emerged, but the innumerable Black Flag soldiers began to dig the ground with a shovel!
Lyman, who was sitting on the high platform, stood up fiercely, his face became a little difficult to look ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ He raised a thousand miles of eyes, watching the dust on the Black Flag position on the opposite side, his eyes were already staring to the extreme.
“Fang Jie …”
Lehman’s throat was 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 in the dusty place, the shadow of a Black Flag soldier could not be seen!
“They … are they digging forward?”
Augusta lowered his eyes and looked inconceivable: “This … this is so wicked …”
Someone is laughing on the wall of Fenghuangtai.
He has a different experience from everyone in the world, so … he always surprises people. rg
