"How is it possible, how can this wall become so much taller all of a sudden?"

Chijin was dumbfounded, when he went south last year, this city wall was only half as high as it is now, although it is still a barrier that is difficult to break through, but it is not without a chance.

But now, the wall was more than ten feet high, almost as high as the mountains on both sides, as if a huge cliff was lying in front of it, and people could not have the slightest desire to challenge it.

"How high are the walls of the Ming Dynasty?"

On Chijin's side, the young warrior also widened his eyes, looked at the tall city wall in front of him and said.

He had long heard that the people of the Ming Dynasty were very good at building city walls, the city walls were built very tall, and the city was built very prosperous, and he had also heard that although there were countless treasures in the city, it was relatively difficult to knock down.

But looking at the tall city wall in front of him, he felt very small, and he felt like a grasshopper shaking a tree.

"How is it possible, if the walls of the Ming Dynasty are as high as the city walls, how can we break in."

Chijin came back to his senses and said.

Then he rode his horse to the foot of the great wall, but before he could get close, one arrow after another was fired at him at a rapid pace, but the accuracy was too poor, and he was very nimble in dodging, but he had to retreat again and again.

"It's not easy to do now, in the past, the arrows of the Ming Dynasty couldn't shoot far."

Chijin retreated out of range of her bow and arrows, and her face turned ugly.

He had attacked Datong with a large army before, and although the Tatars were steppe nomads, their bows and arrows shot farther and more accurately than the bows and arrows of the Ming army.

I really have to complain about this.

Originally, it stands to reason that the DPRK was an agricultural civilization and the Tatars were a nomadic civilization, and the productivity and scientific and technological level of this agricultural civilization must be higher than that of the nomadic people, and the quality of this is definitely higher in terms of bows and arrows, swords, and armor.

But the truth is quietly the opposite, the quality of the weapons of the Ming Dynasty army is extremely poor, whether it is swords, bows and crossbows, or armor, logistics and food, etc., are far inferior to the Tatars.

This is not because the Ming Dynasty made good and high-quality weapons, armor, bows and arrows, etc., but because the civilian officials were in power and constantly suppressed the military generals and nobles.

On the other hand, before the Tumubao Incident, the commander of the Ming Dynasty army belonged to the emperor, and the emperor was also directly responsible for this armament, neither of which was under the control of Wenchen.

After the Tumubao Incident, not only the military power was under the control of Wenchen, but also the military department was in charge, and everyone knew that the corruption problem in the Ming Dynasty was extremely serious.

Allocate 10,000 taels of silver to build a sword and ask for 5,000 swords, and it may be that under layers of deductions, in the end, less than 5,000 taels of silver fell into the hands of craftsmen, but it is still necessary to build 5,000 swords, and this quality can be imagined.

Its own military expenditure is low, coupled with corruption, which has led to the very poor quality of these bows and arrows, swords, armor, etc. in the hands of the Ming Dynasty army, and even the firearms army created by Zhu Yuanzhang has been completely abolished.

The border army of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to go out of the city to fight with the Tatars, not because they were really afraid of death, but because the guys in their hands were useless, and they were also delivering food when they went out, and they could only rely on the city wall to fight defensive counterattacks.

Therefore, when the Tatars attacked the city, the Tatars habitually used the advantage of bows and arrows to suppress the city head to facilitate the siege.

The Tatar bows and arrows were able to shoot at the people on the city walls, while the bows and arrows of the Ming army on the city walls were condescending but could not shoot the Tatar archers, and they were suppressed in long-range firepower.

But now, because the walls of Datong have been increased by several zhang, the situation has changed, and shooting arrows from higher places has a great advantage, and bows and arrows can shoot farther and more lethal.

It was even more difficult for the Tatars under the city walls to attack the higher Ming Dynasty troops, because the attack process of the bow and arrow was a parabolic process, and it was difficult to attack the city wall more than ten zhang high due to the effect of gravity.

This means that if you want to attack this Datong in the future, it is impossible to rely on the archers to suppress the archers of the Datong defenders, on the contrary, they will be suppressed by the archers of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no way to provide assistance.

This is also the reason why Chijin's face has become ugly, because he is a condor shooter, good at bows and arrows, and is too familiar with this aspect.

"Are the people of the Ming Dynasty crazy?"

"To build the walls so high, that it will cost them what they can afford?"

Chijin rode a horse and looked at the Ming Dynasty people on the high city wall, although he was still very cowardly, he only had a few horses, but no one dared to come out on the other side.

But he saw the ridicule in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty people.

"I don't believe it, they were able to build such a high wall in such a short time, maybe it was all made of some dirt."

Chijin drew his bow and arrows, and instantly filled them, and the bow and arrows shot towards the city wall like a meteor, and he wanted to see if the wall was strong.

"Keng~"

On top of the tall wall, the arrows of the bow and arrows collided with the hard concrete wall, sparks, and then the bow and arrow fell weakly towards the wall.

"This?"

"Is it all made of solid stone?"

Chijin was dumbfounded again, he thought it might be a tofu scum project, who knew that it was so hard, the bow and arrow were shot as if they were shooting on the rock.

"How is this possible?"

Chijin shook his head again and again, he was Dayan Khan's guard, followed by Dayan Khan's side, and was also a knowledgeable person, knowing that building the city wall was a very financial, material, and manpower thing, and the Ming Dynasty court was already too poor to open the pot, and there was not much strength to build such a huge city wall.

"Let's go~"

Although he couldn't figure it out, Chijin didn't give up on spying.

Hard attack is always a choice that will be made under no way, on the long line of defense, they can always find a gap that is easy to break through, many places on the Great Wall have long been rotten, Chijin remembers several places that are easier to break through.

He rode his men to a weak point in the defense line in his memory, and it was also a pass between two mountains, and the Great Wall of this pass was in disrepair, and it was made of earth, so it was easy to open a breakthrough.

"This~"

It's just that when Chijin came to this pass, he was dumbfounded again, because the Great Wall at this pass was also rebuilt, and the key is that it was built very high, although it is not more than ten zhang high here in Datong, but it is also four or five zhang high.

The terrain here is far less open than that of Datong, and it is not suitable for large-scale legion operations.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chijin felt his head buzzing, and then looked at the endless and winding Great Wall at the top of the mountains, as if he saw an insurmountable moat lying across the top of the mountains.

"Go, I don't believe it."

Chijin continued to gallop towards the next gap, still not letting him down, as a tall gray-white wall blocked the way.

"There is no gap~"

Chijin rushed through the passes, walking through one gap after another that was easy to break through in his memory, but all the gaps were blocked, blocked with concrete walls, so that not even a single gap could be found.

He was completely dumbfounded, unable to believe all this, and even tried to test the walls with his bow and arrows several times, but the result was the same, the hard concrete walls easily blocked his sharp bow and arrows.

"I'm afraid I'm going to go south to loot this year~"

His head suddenly thought like this, the face is as high as the city wall, there is not even a gap in the defense line, I am afraid it will be difficult to come and go freely.
