    Chapter 1189: Counterattack like this Huge siege beasts like wild beasts began to slowly press towards the Black Flag Army camp. These monsters with terrifying and weird shapes seemed to carry a  An unstoppable power.  They are so tall and impressive.  To move these siege beasts, the manpower required is even greater.  Because it is impossible to install wheels on this kind of construction, it can only be moved by rolling logs.  To move such a heavy and huge siege beast along the rolling logs, each one requires thousands of people, or even more.  Countless soldiers from the Opuru Empire lined up in a square formation, pulling the siege beast forward with ropes.  The strenuous shouts came one after another.  It will take at least several hours to move these siege beasts from the Opuru Empire army camp.  So at the beginning of the war, the fighting had nothing to do with these siege beasts.  Lyman sat on a temporarily built high platform, holding up his clairvoyance and watching the battle ahead.  The middle-aged general Hullens sent to take over this army is already there, and now his lieutenant is commanding from the front.  An Opulus man who looked to be about fifty years old, with graying hair and beard.  He is a bit fat, so the figure galloping back and forth on a war horse to urge the attack looks a bit funny.  "Fire artillery!" Following the order from the general named Beketo, the Aupulus artillery began to unleash its power.  This is to prevent the counterattack of the Black Flag Army. Before the siege beasts move over, the Black Flag Army's cavalry can have enough time and space to form a counterattack. Although the light cavalry is as fast as the wind, it cannot destroy the siege beasts.  , but at least they can harass the foreign soldiers pulling the siege beasts.  Therefore, from the beginning, the troops invested by the Oprus were extremely huge.  A few days after Lehmann arrived here, his large group of troops and Fang Jie¡¯s cavalry arrived almost in no particular order.  At this time, the first to attack was the Opuru army originally stationed outside the Phoenix Tower, while Lyman's direct army did not attack.  Buick didn¡¯t want to die, so he knew he only had one chance.  If today's performance is not enough to impress His Majesty Lehmann, he is sure that his life will end before dark.  Even if he could survive on the battlefield, he would not be able to avoid the punishment of His Majesty the Emperor.  A person who has reached his position will always have more reluctance than ordinary people.  Power and status, good clothing and food.  These things make people miss them.  Amidst the roar of artillery, thick smoke rose up from the Black Flag Army position.  In this era, the firearms of the Opuru Empire represent the most advanced level of firearms.  Although the artillery and muskets equipped by Fang Jie's Black Flag Ordnance Battalion are not weaker than those of the Opulus in terms of power and range, they are not comparable in scale.  The density of shells is terrifying.  The men and horses of each battalion had already been prepared for the battle. When the first artillery fell, the Black Flag Army soldiers on the front line and the heroes on the green forest road in Eastern Xinjiang entered the trenches dug in advance.  .  It is no longer unusual for fortifications to appear in modern warfare on the land of this era.  Since the war with foreigners, the Han people have gradually mastered a method of defending against foreign attacks.  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 cannonballs of this era are far less lethal than Fang Jie¡¯s previous life.  Therefore, as long as the soldiers lying in the trenches are not particularly unlucky, their casualties will not be too heavy.  However, the density of artillery shells still exceeded the expectations of the Black Flag Army soldiers. After several rounds of volleys, every soldier lying in the trench of the Black Flag Army position was covered with a layer of soil.  War cannot be without casualties.  The wish to win without spending a single soldier is just a beautiful wish.  Whenever there is a war, people will die.  Lyman's face, sitting on the high platform, changed slightly. Fang Jie didn't send anyone last night, which was beyond his expectation. The reaction of the Black Flag Army at the beginning of the war today was beyond his expectation, so he felt gloomy in his heart.  It's getting stronger and stronger.  Your opponent becomes unpredictable, which is definitely not a good thing.  "There is no counterattack" Lyman frowned.  Augusta, who stayed by his side, also didn't understand. According to intelligence analysis, the Black Flag Army's best tactic was to rely on light cavalry to countercharge.  This tactic was brought to its extreme by the Black Flag Army when Mokes and Hullens attacked Malanshan Pass.  Every time the Oprus attacked, they would be greeted by a countercharge from the Black Flag Army's light cavalry.  But today, it was obvious that Fang Jie was not in the mood.  Lyman was a little worried, he always felt that it was easy toThere will be some unexpected actions.  Lyman was worried about this, but Buicko, who was commanding at the front line, was in no mood to think wildly.  What he needs to do is to show his fearlessness in front of Lyman.  After several rounds of artillery volleys, Buickdo drew out his command knife.  "Attack!"    In order for the siege beasts to reach the battlefield safely, at least 30,000 Opulus soldiers began to attack. They must attack to suppress the Black Flag Army and prevent the Black Flag Army from coming out.  Calculated based on the speed at which the siege beasts advanced, they had to keep putting 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, you are also putting pressure on yourself.  Sometimes, before the enemy is crushed by the pressure, he will be defeated because he cannot bear the losses.  In the current comparison of military strength, the Opulus have an absolute advantage.  In terms of weapons comparison, the Opulus have an equally huge advantage.  Especially, the attacking Oprus soldiers knew His Majesty Lehmann¡¯s attitude.  They must forget about death and just put pressure on the enemy.  The density of bullets was indescribable. The dust kicked up by the bullets on the slope of the trench was like a thick yellow fog suddenly appearing on the side of the Black Flag Army position.  The archers of each battalion at the front were suppressed so that he could not get up, and the enemy had a favorable wind, so the range of the bullets was wider than before.  But for the Black Flag Army, the headwind has a greater impact on Yujian.  A stiff bow that can project arrows 200 paces will be greatly reduced in a headwind situation.  The feathered arrows were too fluttery. When the range exceeded sixty steps, their power would weaken and they would be blown to pieces by the wind.  Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the pressure on the Black Flag Army was indeed great.  There is no doubt that Lehmann is definitely an excellent general.  He knows the climate in Eastern Xinjiang and it is impossible for there to be no wind for ten days.  And as long as there is wind, he can take a strong initiative.  "Trebuchet!" Nalan Dingdong had already come down from the city wall and gave the order loudly.  The sound of artillery and gunfire shattered his shouts, and the horn had obviously lost its effectiveness in conveying orders.  At this time, we rely on semaphores.  The messengers began to wave huge battle flags. Each battalion had soldiers who were responsible for observing the flags and quickly conveyed Nalan Dingdong's orders.  Behind the array, dozens of riprap trucks are ready.  The huge stone was carried up by several people, and the noose was suddenly released. The big arms swung back with a roar, and the stone was immediately sent up into the sky.  Although the range of the trebuchet will also be affected by the wind, the impact is not significant due to the gravity of the stone.  This kind of counterattack was just to break up the Opulus' gun formation and give the Black Flag Army's archers and soldiers operating ballistas an opportunity to counterattack.  The reloading speed of the trebuchet is nowhere near as fast as the artillery, and it is too bulky and difficult to move once installed.  Therefore, the attack range is almost fixed in that area.  Therefore, trebuchets are generally used to siege cities and are rarely used in field battles.  For attacking fixed targets, the trebuchet may not be accurate the first time, and it may not be accurate the second time, but after several debuggings, it can basically still cause a devastating blow to the city wall.  However, in a field battle, there are no fixed targets to hit.  Those huge siege beasts are far from the range of the trebuchet.  Intense beyond words.  In the beginning of the long-range weapons contest between the two sides, the Opulus had the advantage.  Nalan Dingdong has been running around the position, giving orders constantly.  He now knew what Fang Jie's counterattack plan was, but it wasn't time yet.  After fighting like this for more than an hour, the pressure on the Oprians obviously began to weaken.  It is very dangerous for muskets of this era to be fired continuously.  Therefore, it is necessary to change the team. Of course, the front team and the rear team can switch seamlessly, but after an hour, most of the soldiers' muskets start to heat up, and the second echelon people need to be mobilized from behind. This is the black flag.  opportunity for the army to counterattack.  Nalan Dingdong had rich experience in fighting the Opulus, so Fang Jie left the control of time to him.  "Move!" Nalan Dingdong immediately gave the order after feeling that the Opulus' shooting began to become sparse.  Following his military order, all the archers from each battalion came out of the trenches, completed the array in the shortest time, and then began to counterattack.  The feather arrows were suddenly distributed to them last night, not to them.??My own feather arrows before.  The feather arrows issued to them were mobilized from the Black Flag Army cavalry.  As for these feather arrows, the cavalry spent two days each modifying at least dozens of them.  Aggravated.  It¡¯s that simple.  But such a simple method can greatly reduce the impact of the feather arrows on the wind.  Projectile!  The counterattack of nearly 20,000 archers, what a magnificent scene was that?  The feathers and arrows were so dense that they could almost block out the color of the sky.  In the gap where the Auprians' front and rear teams exchanged, the Black Flag Army began a strong counterattack.     not only that!  To the surprise of all the Oprians, the Black Flag Army's countercharge was not accomplished by cavalry, but by archers!  This is unreasonable!  No one uses troops like this!  Therefore, many Opuru generals were surprised.  The neat array of arrows began to move forward, always maintaining the density of arrows.  As soon as a counterattack of this level started, the Opulus would be passive for a long period of time.  When the muskets fired intensively, they suppressed the archers of the Black Flag Army, and when the archers fired intensively, they could also suppress the opponent.  The formation of the Opulus immediately became a little chaotic.  "Let's start!" Nalan Dingdong gave the order.  A big flag with a special color was waved, and the entire position immediately became dusty!  It was not the artillery of the Opulus that showed its power again, but countless Black Flag Army soldiers began to dig into the ground with shovels!  Lyman, who was sitting on the high platform, suddenly stood up, his face became a little ugly.  He raised his clairvoyance and looked at the flying dust on the Black Flag Army's position opposite, his eyes widening to the extreme.  "Fang Jie" Lyman squeezed out the name from his throat, full of anger.  No one expected that the Black Flag Army¡¯s counterattack would be like this.  After the suppression, the archers began to retreat in an orderly manner, and where the dust and smoke rose, there was no trace of a Black Flag Army soldier!  "Theyare they digging trenches forward?" Augusta put down his clairvoyance and looked incredulous: "Thisthis is so rogue" Someone was laughing on the wall of Phoenix Terrace.  He has a different experience than everyone else in this world, so he can always surprise people.
