The soldiers of the Black Banner Army were sweating profusely as they pushed the trenches forward. This kind of propulsion is not a straight forward digging, but a zigzag propulsion. Amidst the dust, not to mention the soldiers of the Black Banner Army were in the deep ditch, and the Opulu soldiers could not aim. Even if they were not in the ditch, the smoke and dust all over the sky blocked their sight.
"attack."
Lehman put down his clairvoyance and issued the military order coldly.
If the previous attack was only to suppress the Black Banner Army, so as to protect the siege beasts from reaching the battlefield smoothly and safely, then from now on, the Opuru's attack will be unreserved. Because Lehman knew very well that if the Black Banner Army was allowed to dig trenches and advance forward, the advantage of the Opuru people in weapons would be wiped out.
The bullet will not turn around and shoot upwards diagonally, and the bullet will not fall along the parabola to the position of the Black Banner Army to kill soldiers. But... bows and arrows do.
The archers of the Black Banner Army continued to shoot feather arrows in the deep ditch. Although they are also unable to aim, their feathered arrows are very dense, which is enough.
"Let the firearm battalion go up and cooperate with the archers to defend."
Fang Xie watched the battle situation condescendingly on the city wall of Fenghuangtai, and all the changes on the battlefield were under his watchful eyes. As the big flag on the city wall was waved, Andrew, who had already been unable to bear it for a long time, screamed, and rushed forward along the trench with the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion.
With the cooperation of archers and musketeers, the Opulu's offensive seemed fierce but they couldn't get close at all. The Opulu's artillery kept pumping out the fire snakes, but the shells could not cause large-scale damage to the soldiers of the Black Banner Army in the deep ditch. The progress of the Black Banner Army was extremely slow, but the Opulu people couldn't find a way to stop it.
"Han people often say that if you want to win, you have to calculate the right time, place and people... I have calculated the right time, and I also want to use siege beasts to change the geographical advantage, but I didn't expect the enemy's general to have such a soulful mind. This tactic... some Bastard, but it works."
Lyman, who couldn't sit still anymore, was talking to himself, Fang Jie's tactics made him feel helpless.
If they can't think of a way, the Black Banner Army can continue to advance like this until dark.
"Your Majesty, let me take someone to charge."
The giant Augusta said loudly: "These hateful Han people are too cunning, we must stop them."
"I knew they had to be stopped."
Lyman's voice was a little chilly.
"Let the siege beast speed up!"
After being silent for a while, Leman's expression changed again, because he suddenly understood what Fang Jie's real intention was. The speed of digging trenches like this is too slow to move forward. Fang Jie probably didn't want to count on this attack to reach the Opuru camp.
Fang Jie wanted to stop the siege beast!
If the digging continues like this, the siege beast will not be able to get close to the camp of the Black Banner Army. If they couldn't get into the range, even with the wind, the Opuru people couldn't send the fire to the Black Banner Army camp.
"Fang Jie had already guessed that I was going to attack with fire!"
Lehman's heart was shocked!
He is indeed an opponent worthy of attention and respect.
Layman had to admire in his heart, and then pointed to the front and ordered loudly: "Tell Buick more, move forward a hundred meters, and then start digging trenches!"
Augusta obviously didn't understand what Lyman meant, but he knew that he was stupid and couldn't keep up with His Majesty's thinking.
Lehman held up his clairvoyance, calculating the distance the Black Banner Army advanced. If Buick pushes forward another hundred meters, and then digs a trench horizontally regardless of the cost, it will be able to block the Black Banner Army. After advancing a hundred meters, defending this trench will ensure that the siege beast is within range.
Buick, who received the order, went crazy, screaming loudly and urging the soldiers to charge forward.
The black crowd rushed forward bravely blocked by feather arrows and bullets, people kept falling down, and people kept filling up. The distance of 100 meters does not mean that the two sides will be brought closer to 100 meters, but that they will advance 100 meters from the original place... How many people will die at a distance of 100 meters in front of a defense as strong as the Black Banner Army
Up to the present position, the corpses on the ground have covered the color of the earth.
"hehe… "
Fang Jie sneered: "The enemy is attacking, tell Nalan Dingdong to let the reserve team go out and counter-charge! At this time, the enemy's artillery dare not fire, so it will be much fairer. If you fight face to face, the Black Banner Army will still fight back!" Never lost to anyone!"
The sound of the cannon stopped, and the sound of the horn on the city wall could be heard farther.
Hearing the sound of the row of giant horns on the city wall, Nalan Dingdong immediately ordered a counterattack. The spearman, who had been ready for a long time, jumped out of the trench and rushed forward to meet the Opuru people. Because the Black Banner Army deliberately brought the Opulu closer, the pikemen could reduce the chance of death.
As a branch of the army whose movement speed is second only to cavalry, pikemen often play a leading role in warfare, although their defense is very low. During the Sui Dynasty, infantry basically used infantry hard spears, but the manufacturing process of this weapon was too complicated and the process was too slow, so the Black Banner Army abandoned this weapon and used low-cost long spears instead.
The two sides hedged and soon collided.
…
…
Where are the cavalry of the Black Banner Army
This is a question that Lehman has been thinking about. The most elite light cavalry of the Black Banner Army has not been dispatched until now, so Lehman can't rest assured. He is well aware of the power of light cavalry in field battles, and the number of light cavalry in Fang Jie's Black Banner Army is astonishing.
Fang Jie is impossible, leaving such a powerful army unused.
Leman just didn't know where Fang Jie would use the cavalry.
The war has been intensified from the very beginning, but it is still in the tentative stage. Fang Jie and Laiman kept making moves, trying to force out the strength of the other side. Layman knew that Fang Xie must be waiting, waiting for his side to show his flaws, and then the light cavalry would come out and give him a fatal blow.
In fact, he ordered the construction of a huge siege beast, not just to set fire to the wind. It is also to resist Fang Jie's light cavalry. The soldiers on the siege beast can shoot down the cavalry without being hurt by the cavalry.
But Fang Xie's cavalry didn't show up now. Obviously, Fang Xie also guessed what those monster-like weapons were for, so he wanted to destroy those siege beasts first.
The two of them seemed to be playing a game face to face, constantly guessing and calculating where the opponent's ultimate move was. A little layout, a little break.
Thirty miles away from the battlefield
Yan Kuang wiped off the sweat from his forehead, this former fool has already grown into a qualified general, and the experience of so many years of fighting has also revealed his state of mind.
"Boost!"
He ordered loudly.
He seemed to have smelled the battlefield.
At this moment, a group of cavalry flew towards them from far ahead, and soon the group of cavalry came to the front, and the leader Yan Kuang recognized him.
It was Chen Dingnan.
"General Chen, but the lord sent you to urge me?"
Yan Kuang asked eagerly.
Chen Dingnan shook his head: "My lord ordered that this thing should not be sent to the battlefield, but sent directly to Fenghuangtai city. My lord has already sent people to tear down the Phoenix Taitai gate and widen it. Before tomorrow morning, the meteorite must enter the city."
"Going into town?"
Yan Kuang was stunned: "Aren't you going to drag it to the battlefield?"
Chen Dingnan shook his head: "I don't know what my lord's plan is, but I just sent me to meet you. Now the battle is fierce ahead, and my lord is worried that foreigners' scouts will find you, so I'm sent here to tell you not to go to the south of Fenghuangtai gone."
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 drove side by side, and asked while urging the horse forward.
Chen Dingnan shook his head and said with a smile: "My lord, I was already on the way when I found this thing in the north mountain of Chang'an City. To be honest, my lord just told me that this thing is called a meteorite. I don't know what it looks like, let alone this one." What role can the thing play. But seeing how important the lord is, it is obvious that this thing is not trivial."
It was like saying nothing, Yan Kuang could only suppress the curiosity in his heart.
He delivered the things carefully along the way, not daring to slack in the slightest. But he really couldn't think of what kind of twist this thing could bring to the war. Seeing how much the protagonist valued it, it seemed that this thing was the most important thing. Even if this thing is very powerful, can it kill hundreds of thousands of foreigners
…
…
Xiang Qing hurriedly paced back and forth on the city wall, apparently unable to bear it anymore. He walked up to Fang Jie's side, opened his mouth and held back, circling back and forth again. After seven or eight circles, he couldn't help it anymore: "When will I bring people up and have a good kill?"
"Not yet."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Let all the quacks under you go back to rest, you won't be needed in today's battle."
"Why?"
Xiang Qingniu said: "As long as we go up now, I promise to turn the tide of the battle within half an hour. I will lead people to press forward, and you let the army follow behind. Before dark, I can lead the battle." Kill people and go to the camp of foreigners!"
"Because I don't know my opponent yet."
Fang Jie shook his head again: "But the opponent knows us... Layman knows that I have a light cavalry in my hand, and that there are practitioners like you, so it is impossible for him not to prepare. I must first hang Layman's appetite and make him wait impatiently. If he can't figure out my thoughts, he will change his own thoughts accordingly. If I don't make an ultimate move, his ultimate move will not be able to come out."
"But if you keep fighting like this, it's hard to tell the winner!"
Xiang Qingniu said.
Fang Jie hummed: "I know you want to defeat the foreigners in the first battle, and end the war in one day... I think more than you do, but if you rashly use all the means, once you encounter setbacks, think again." It will be difficult to recover. You see..."
Fang Jie pointed to the Opuru team in the distance: "The foreigners who are attacking now are the troops who have been at the Phoenix Terrace before, not the troops brought by Lehman. None of his direct troops have moved yet. .”
Xiang Qingniu didn't understand military affairs, he was just anxious.
"Don't worry, you will have a chance to kill a lot."
Fang Jie withdrew his gaze from a distance and pointed to the city: "Go and rest. From now on, all the quacks will rest without my order."
Xiang Qingniu stomped his feet anxiously, sighed a long time, turned and left.
Fang Jie raised his clairvoyance again and looked at the high platform in the distance. He could see the man standing on the high platform, although it was blurry, but he knew it was Lyman.
"What method are you hiding?"
Fang Jie muttered to himself.
On the high platform, Lehman held up his clairvoyance and slowly scanned the city wall of Phoenix Terrace. He couldn't see Fang Jie, and even if he saw him, he couldn't confirm it. But he knew that Fang Xie must be looking at him...
"You must be thinking, what am I hiding?"
Leman said to himself: "I'm also wondering what you're hiding... You can't think of it, and I can't think of it either."
