The soldiers of the black flag army sweated and pushed the trench forward. This kind of advance is not straight forward excavation, but zigzag advance. In the dust, the soldiers of the black flag army were in the deep ditch, and the oplu soldiers could not aim. Even if they were not in the deep ditch, the smoke and dust all over the sky blocked their sight.
"Attack"
Lehmann put down his eyes and issued a military order coldly.
If the previous attack was only to suppress the black flag army, so as to protect the siege animals from reaching the battlefield smoothly and safely, then from now on, the opru attack is unreserved. Because Lehmann knew that if the black flag army was allowed to dig trenches and move forward, the opru's advantage in weapons would disappear.
The bullet will not turn and shoot diagonally upward, nor will it fall on the position of the black flag army along the parabola to kill soldiers. But... Bows and arrows can.
The archers of the black flag army continued to shoot feather arrows in the deep ditch. Although they are also unable to aim, their arrows are very dense, which is enough.
"Let the firearm battalion go up and defend with the archers."
Fang Xie looked at the war situation from a commanding position on the wall of fenghuangtai, and the changes on the battlefield were under his gaze. With the flag waving on the city wall, Andrew, who had already been unable to bear it, roared, and the soldiers of the firearm battalion rushed forward along the trench.
With the cooperation of archers and Musketeers, the opru offensive looked fierce but could not be approached at all. The artillery of the opru people kept puffing and puffing the burning snake, but the shells could not kill the black flag soldiers in the deep ditch in a large area. The advance of the black flag army was extremely slow, but the opru couldn't find a way to stop it.
"Han people often say that if you want to win, you have to calculate the time, place and people... When I calculate the time, I also want to change the land with siege beasts, but I didn't expect that the enemy's master will have such a soul. This tactic... Some scoundrels, but it's really effective."
Lehmann, who could no longer sit still, said to himself that Fang Xie's tactics made him feel a little helpless.
If we can't think of another way, the black flag army can push forward until dark.
"Your Majesty, I'll take someone to rush."
The giant Augusta shouted, "these hateful Han people are too cunning. We must stop them."
"I know they must be stopped."
Lyman's voice was a little cold.
"Let the siege beast speed up!"
After a moment of silence, Lehmann's face changed again because he suddenly understood what Fang Xie's real intention was. It was too slow to dig the trench and move forward. Fang Xie should not expect this attack to go to the opru camp.
Fang Xie is trying to stop the siege beast!
If you dig like this, the siege beast will not be able to get close to the camp of the black flag army. If you can't get within range, even if it's downwind, the oplu can't send fire to the black flag army camp.
"Fang Xie had guessed that I would use fire attack!"
Lehmann's heart was shocked!
It is indeed an opponent worthy of attention and respect.
Lehmann had to praise in his heart, then pointed to the front and shouted, "tell Buick to push forward 100 meters, and then start digging trenches!"
Augusta obviously didn't understand Lyman, but he knew he was stupid and couldn't keep up with his Majesty's thinking.
Lehmann held his eyes and calculated the distance the black flag army was advancing. If Buick pushed forward another 100 meters, and then dug a trench horizontally at any cost, it would block the black flag army. After pushing forward 100 meters and holding the trench, you can ensure that the siege beast is within range.
Buick, who got the order, went crazy and shouted loudly to urge the soldiers to charge forward.
The dark crowd rushed forward despite the obstruction of feather arrows and bullets. People kept falling down and people kept making up. The distance of 100 meters does not mean that the two sides will be brought closer to 100 meters, but push forward 100 meters from the original place... How many people will die in front of the defense of the strength of the black flag army?
Up to now, the corpses on the ground have covered the color of the earth.
"Ha ha..."
Fang Xie sneered: "the enemy is attacking. Tell Nalan dingdong and let the reserve team rush out to counter the charge! At this time, the enemy's artillery dare not open, so it's much more fair. In the face-to-face fight, the black flag army has never lost to anyone!"
The gunfire stopped, and the horn on the wall could spread further.
Hearing the sound of a row of giant horns on the wall, Nalan dingdong immediately ordered a counterattack. The long gunman, who had already been prepared, crossed out of the trench and rushed forward against the opru. Because the black flag army deliberately brought the oplu closer, the long Gunners could reduce the probability of death.
As a branch of the army whose moving speed is second only to that of cavalry, Lancers often play a leading role in war although their defense is very low. In the great Sui Dynasty, infantry basically used infantry hard names, 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 a low-cost long gun instead.
The two sides hedged and soon bumped into each other.
……
……
Where are the cavalry of the black flag army?
This is what Lehmann has been thinking about. Lehmann can't be down-to-earth until the most elite light cavalry of the black flag army is sent out. He knew the power of light cavalry in the field, and the number of light cavalry in the black flag army of Fang Xie was so amazing.
It's impossible to put such a powerful army.
Lehmann just doesn't know where Fang Xie will use cavalry.
The war has been white hot from the beginning, but it is still in the exploratory stage. Fang Xie and Lehmann are constantly making moves and trying to force each other's strength out a little bit. Lehmann knew that Fang Xie must be waiting, waiting for his side to reveal flaws, and then the light cavalry would kill himself.
In fact, he ordered the construction of huge siege beasts, not just to set fire with the wind. It is also to resist Fang Xie's light cavalry. Soldiers on siege animals can shoot cavalry from a commanding position without being hurt by cavalry.
But now Fang Xie's cavalry doesn't appear. It's obvious that Fang Xie also guessed what those monster like instruments are for, so he wants to destroy those siege beasts first.
The two people are playing a game face-to-face, constantly speculating and calculating where each other's killing moves are. A little layout, a little break.
Thirty miles from the battlefield
Yan Kuang wiped the sweat off his forehead. This once silly boy has already grown into a qualified general. He has also experienced his state of mind after so many years of war.
"Speed up!"
He gave a loud order.
He seems to have smelled the battlefield.
At this time, a group of cavalry came from a distance in front. Soon, the cavalry came close, and the leader Yan Kuang knew each other.
It's Chen Dingnan.
"General Chen, but the LORD sent you to urge?"
Yan Kuang asked eagerly.
Chen Dingnan shook his head: "the Lord ordered that this thing should not be sent to the battlefield, but directly to the city of fenghuangtai. The Lord has sent someone to open and broaden the north gate of fenghuangtai. The meteorite must enter the city before dawn tomorrow."
"Into the city?"
Yan Kuang was stunned: "don't you want to pull it to the battlefield?"
Chen Dingnan shook his head: "I don't know what the Lord planned, but he just sent me to meet you. Now the war is fierce ahead. The Lord is worried that the Scouts of foreigners will find you, so he sent me to tell you not to go to the south of Fenghuang platform."
Yan Kuang nodded and quickly ordered to change direction.
"General Chen, do you know what the Lord is going to do with this thing?"
Yan Kuang and Chen Dingnan kept pace, urging the horse forward and asking.
Chen Dingnan shook his head and said with a smile, "when you found this thing in the north mountain of Chang'an City, I was already on the way. To tell you the truth, you just told me that this thing is called a meteorite. I don't know what it looks like, let alone what role it can play. However, it's obvious that you pay so much attention to it."
This is tantamount to not saying, Yan Kuang had to suppress his curiosity.
Along the way, he carefully brought things, and did not dare to slack off. But he really didn't think that this thing could bring about any change in the war. It seems that this thing is the most important thing, depending on the Lord's attention. Even if this thing is powerful, can it kill hundreds of thousands of foreigners?
……
……
Xiang qingniu hurriedly paced back and forth on the wall. Obviously, he couldn't help it. He went to Fang Xie's side, opened his mouth and held back. He circled back and forth again. After seven or eight circles, he couldn't help it: "when can I take people up and kill them?"
"Not yet."
Fang Xie shook his head: "let all your Jianghu guests go back and have a rest. You won't be used in this battle today."
"Why?"
Xiang qingniu said, "now as long as we kill up, I promise we can turn the war around in half an hour. I'll press forward with people in front. You let the army follow behind. Before dark, I can kill people in the foreigner camp!"
"Because I don't know my opponent yet."
Fang Xie shook his head again: "but the opponent knows us... Lehmann knows that I have a Qingqi in my hand and you practitioners. He can't be unprepared. I must first hang Lehmann's appetite and make him anxious. If he can't figure out my ideas, even his own ideas will change. If I don't come up with a killing move, he can't come up with a killing move."
"But if it goes on like this, it's hard to win!"
Xiang qingniu road.
Fang Xie said, "I know you want to defeat the foreigners in the first war and end the war in one day... I want more than you, but if you rashly use all the means, once you are frustrated, it will be difficult to recover. You see..."
Fang Xie pointed to the aupru team in the distance: "the foreigners who attack now are the troops who have been on phoenix platform before, not the troops brought by Lehmann. None of his immediate family has moved up to now."
Xiang qingniu doesn't understand military affairs. He's just worried.
"Don't worry, you'll have a chance to kill it."
Fang Xie took his eyes back from a distance and pointed to the city: "go and have a rest. From now on, all Jianghu people will have a rest without my command."
Xiang qingniu stamped his feet anxiously, sighed long and turned away.
Fang Xie raised his eyes again and looked at the high platform in the distance. He could see the man standing on the high platform. Although it was very vague, he knew it was Lyman.
"What exactly are you hiding?"
Fang Jie muttered to himself.
On the high platform, Lehmann held his eyes for thousands of miles and slowly swept through the wall of phoenix platform. He can't see the solution, even if he sees it, he can't confirm it. But he knew Fang Xie must be looking at himself
"You must be thinking, what am I hiding?"
Lyman said to himself, "I'm also wondering what you're hiding... You can't think of it, neither can I."
