Chapter 1190: Unexpected
Chapter 1190 Unexpected
The soldiers of the Black Flag Army sweated like rain and pushed the trenches forward. This push is not a straight digging forward, but a zigzag push. In the dust, Mo said that the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were in the deep ditch, and the Opru soldiers could not aim, even if they were not in the deep ditch, the smoke and dust in the sky blocked their view.
"Offense"
Lyman put down his clairvoyance and coldly gave the military order.
If the previous attack was only to suppress the Black Flag Army, so as to protect the siege beasts from reaching the battlefield smoothly and safely, then from now on, the Opru's attack is unreserved. Because Lyman knew very well that if the Black Flag Army was allowed to dig trenches and advance in this way, the Opru's advantage in weapons would be lost.
The bullet does not turn and fire a shot diagonally upwards, nor does the bullet fall along the parabola to the Black Flag Army's position to kill the soldier. But...... Bows and arrows can.
The archers of the Black Flag Army continued to throw feathered arrows in the deep trenches. Although they were also unable to aim, their dense feathered arrows were sufficient.
"Let the firearms battalion go up and cooperate with the archers to defend it."
Fang Xie condescendingly watched the battle situation from the wall of Phoenix Terrace, and the changes on the battlefield were all under his gaze. As the banner on the city wall waved, Andrew, who had long been unable to hold back the firearms, roared, and rushed forward along the trench with the soldiers of the firearms battalion.
With the archers and musketeers in force, the Oprus were attacking with a fierce look but they couldn't get close. The Opru's artillery continued to swallow the fiery serpents, but the shells could not inflict extensive damage on the Black Flag soldiers in the deep ditch. The Black Banner Army's advance was extremely slow, but the Opru couldn't find a way to stop it.
"The Han people often say that if you want to win, you must calculate the right time, place and people...... I calculated that when the time came, I also wanted to use the siege beast to change the location, but I did not expect that the enemy's lord would have such a soul mind. This tactic...... Some scoundrels, but they do work. β
Lyman, who couldn't sit still any longer, muttered to himself, Fang Jie's tactics made him feel a little helpless.
If they can't think of a way, the Black Flag Army can advance like this until dark.
"Your Majesty, I'll take someone to rush."
The giant Augusta said loudly, "These hateful Han people are too cunning and must stop them. β
"I knew I had to stop them."
Lyman's voice was a little cold.
"Speed up the siege beasts!"
After a moment of silence, Lyman's face changed again, as he suddenly understood what Fang Jie's true intentions were. The depth of the trench digging is too slow to advance, and Fang Xie should not be expecting this attack to enter the camp of the Oprus.
Fang Xie wants to stop the siege beasts!
If they dig like this, the siege beasts will not be able to get close to the Black Flag army's camp. If they can't get within range, the Oprus won't be able to send fire to the Black Flag camp, even if the wind is downwind.
"Fang Xie actually guessed that I was going to attack with fire!"
Lyman's heart was shocked!
He is indeed an opponent worthy of attention and respect.
Lyman had to sigh in his heart, and then pointed to the front and ordered loudly: "Sue SΓΉ Buick, advance a hundred meters, and then start digging trenches too!" β
Augusta obviously didn't understand what Lyman meant, but he knew that he was stupid and couldn't keep up with the thinking of His Majesty the Emperor.
Ryman held up clairvoyance and calculated the distance the Black Flag Army had advanced. If the Buick pushes forward another hundred meters, and then digs a trench horizontally at any cost, it will be able to block the Black Flag Army. After advancing a hundred meters and holding this trench, you will be able to ensure that the siege beast is within range.
The Buicks, who received the order, went crazy and roared loudly urging the soldiers to charge forward.
The black-pressed crowd rushed forward in the face of arrows and bullets, and people kept falling down, and people kept filling up. This 100-meter distance does not mean that the two sides will be brought closer to 100 meters, but that they will be pushed forward by 100 meters...... In the face of the strength of the Black Flag Army's defense, how many people will die at a distance of a hundred meters?
By now, the corpses on the ground had covered the color of the earth.
"Hehe......"
Fang Xie sneered: "The enemy is attacking, tell SΓΉ Nalan Dingdong, let the reserves rush out and countercharge!" At this time, the enemy's artillery fire did not dare to open, so it was much fairer, and the Black Flag Army had never lost to anyone! β
The sound of the cannons stopped, and the sound of the horns on the walls could be heard farther away.
Hearing the sound of the row of giant horns on the city wall, Nalan Dingdong immediately ordered a counterattack. The pikemen, who had already been prepared, crossed the trenches and charged forward against the Oprus. Because the Black Flag deliberately brought the Oprus closer, the pikemen reduced the chance of dying.
As the second most mobile unit in the army after cavalry, pikemen tend to play a leading role in warfare, despite their low defense. During the Great Sui Dynasty, the infantry basically used infantry hard lances, but the manufacturing process of this weapon was too complicated and the process was too slow, so the Black Flag Army abandoned this weapon and used low-cost spears instead.
The two sides hedged and soon collided together.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Where are the cavalry of the Black Flag Army?
This is a problem that Lyman has been considering, and until the war has been fought until now, the most elite light cavalry of the Black Flag Army has not been dispatched, and Lyman cannot be sure. He was well aware of the power of light cavalry in field battles, and the number of light cavalry in Fang Jie's Black Flag Army was so amazing.
It is impossible to solve it, and it is not necessary to put such a strong army.
Lyman just didn't know where Fang Xie would use the cavalry.
The war has been at a fever pitch from the very beginning, but it is still in the tentative phase. Fang Xie and Lyman kept making moves, both trying to force each other's strength out little by little. Lyman knew that Fang Xie must also be waiting, waiting for his side to reveal a flaw, and then the light cavalry would come out and give him a fatal blow.
In fact, he ordered the construction of the Giant Siege Beasts, not just to set fire to the wind. It was also to fend off Fang Jie's light cavalry, and the soldiers on the siege beast could condescendingly shoot the cavalry without being hurt by the cavalry.
But now Fang Jie's cavalry did not appear, apparently Fang Xie also guessed what those giant beast-like weapons were for, so he wanted to destroy those siege beasts first.
The two people seemed to be playing a game face to face, constantly speculating and calculating where the other party's killing moves were. A little bit of layout, a little bit of a break.
Thirty miles from the battlefield
Yan Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, this former stupid boy had already grown into a qualified general, and after so many years of conquest, he had also experienced his state of mind.
"Speed!"
He ordered loudly.
He seems to have smelled the battlefield.
At this moment, a group of cavalry flew in the distance in front of him, and soon the cavalry came to the front, for the people Yan Crazy to know.
It was Chen Dingnan.
"General Chen, but the lord sent you to urge?"
Yan Yan asked a little eagerly.
Chen Dingnan shook his head: "The lord ordered that this thing should not be sent to the battlefield, but directly sent to Phoenix Terrace City." The lord has already sent someone to open and widen the north gate of Phoenix, and before dawn tomorrow, the meteorite must enter the city. β
"Into the city?"
Yan was stunned: "Aren't you going to be pulled to the battlefield?" β
Chen Dingnan shook his head: "I don't know what the lord is planning, but he just sent me to pick you up." Now that the battle is raging in front of you, the lord is worried that the foreigners' scouts will appear on you, so he sent me over and asked you not to go to the south of Phoenix Terrace. β
Yan Yan nodded and hurriedly ordered a change of direction.
"General Chen, do you know what the lord is going to do with this thing?"
Yan Mad and Chen Dingnan walked side by side, and asked while urging the horse forward.
Chen Dingnan shook his head and said with a smile: "When the lord appeared this thing in the north mountain of Chang'an City, I was already halfway there. To tell the truth, the lord just told me that this thing is called a meteorite, and I don't know what it looks like, let alone what this thing can do. However, seeing that the lord attaches so much importance to it, it is obvious that this thing is not trivial. β
This is equivalent to not saying this, Yan Mad had to suppress the curiosity in his heart.
Along the way, he carefully sent things over, and he didn't dare to slack off along the way. But he really can't think of what reversal this thing can bring to the war, and looking at the importance of the lord, it seems that this thing is the most important. Even if this thing is very powerful, can it kill hundreds of thousands of foreigners?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Xiang Qingniu was pacing back and forth on the city wall anxiously, obviously unable to bear it anymore. He walked to Fang Jie's side, opened his mouth and held back, turned back and forth again, and after seven or eight circles, he couldn't help it: "When will I take someone up and kill happily?" β
"Not yet."
Fang Xie shook his head: "Let all the Jianghu guests under your command go back to rest, you won't be needed in today's battle." β
"Why?"
Xiang Qingniu said: "Now as long as we kill it, I guarantee that we can turn the tide of the battle within half an hour." I will lead the people to press forward, you let the army follow, and before dark, I can lead the people to the camp of foreigners! β
"Because I don't know my opponent yet."
Fang Xie shook his head again: "But the opponent understands us...... Lyman knew that I had a light horse in my hand, and that with you cultivators, it was impossible for him not to prepare. I had to hang Lyman's appetite first and make him anxious to wait. He can't figure out what I'm thinking, and he'll change his own thoughts. If I don't make a killing move, his killing move won't come out. β
"But if you continue to fight like this, it's hard to tell the winner!"
Xiang Qingniu said.
Fang Xie snorted: "I know you want to defeat the foreigners in the first battle and end this war in one day...... I want to do more than you, but if you rashly use all the means, once you encounter a setback, it will be difficult to redeem it. You see......"
Fang Xie pointed to the team of the Oprus in the distance: "The foreigners who are attacking now are the army that has been in Phoenix Terrace before, not the army brought by Lyman. His direct family has not moved until now. β
Xiang Qingniu doesn't understand military affairs, he's just in a hurry.
"Don't worry, you'll have a chance to kill it."
Fang Xie withdrew his gaze from a distance and pointed to the city: "Go and rest, from now on, all the Jianghu guests will always rest without my order." β
Xiang Qingniu stomped his foot anxiously, let out a long sigh and turned to leave.
Fang Xie raised his clairvoyance again and looked at the high platform in the distance. He could see the man standing on the high platform, and though it was vague, he knew it was Lyman.
"What the hell are you hiding?"
Fang Xie muttered to himself.
On the high platform, Lyman held his clairvoyance and slowly swept over the wall of the Phoenix Terrace. He couldn't see Fang Jie, and even if he did, he couldn't confirm it. But he knew that Fang Xie must be watching him......
"You must be wondering, what the hell am I hiding?"
Lyman muttered to himself, "I'm wondering what you're hiding...... You can't think of it, and I can't think of it. β
