Missed the biggest opportunity, at least 40 ladders, were thrown over there, this is the most terrible thing, you know, it took them two or three days to build these ladders, the surrounding trees that are easy to be cut down, have been cut down, now, to build the same ladder, it takes time.

And at this moment, they are too late, because the ladder lost under the city wall has been ignited by Miaojiazhuang with the help of fire oil, and the entire battlefield is full of smoke, even if it is risky to grab it back, it is useless.

When he was annoyed, the following people reported that there was a letter shot in front of Miaojiazhuang, Wei Gui thought it was a letter of persuasion, which was normal, the other party had an advantage, and lived in a strong city, before they were anxious, they couldn't attack it, if it was an ordinary war, or if there was no Wang family behind it, Wei Gui might have surrendered a long time ago, but unfortunately, this matter is different.

Wei Gui had already boarded the ship, and at the same time, he felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined, the entire rebel army, after several rounds of losses, more than half of it was the strength of the Wang family, and Wang Xiansong was by his side, even if he wanted to retreat, Wang Xiansong would not let him retreat.

However, after the letter was brought, he looked at it carefully, but instead of persuading him to surrender the letter, he asked him to collect the letter from the corpse.

The first contact, because the other party was attacking with a bow and arrow, although when the defeat was retreating, there was no way to bring back the corpses of the soldiers, but after the defeat, taking advantage of the night time, the corpses and part of the equipment were brought back, and now this time, it was a siege battle, all the corpses and equipment were under the city, and it was impossible for them to risk getting them back.

The letter was very simple, they could send no more than 100 soldiers, without any weapons, to the city, to carry the corpses, and all the remaining weapons and equipment could be taken with them.

This is something that has never been encountered before, in the end, Sun Ji is a conspiracy, tricking him into sending 100 people over, and then shooting them, or is this just so generous.

Although it is said that many soldiers died under the city wall with heavy losses, most of the infantry armor on their bodies is intact, although this gunpowder weapon has shot out a large hole one by one, and even penetrates it, but the special feature of the infantry armor is that the whole is made of iron sheets, and the iron pieces have the advantage of being replaced and supplemented.

In this case, the loss is not as great as imagined.

Lost almost 1,000 people at once, the biggest loss of which was equipment, in addition to the infantry armor, there were also a large number of individual equipment, in the face of unimaginable weapons, they were afraid of growing two legs, almost as fast as they could run, at least 3,000 pieces of various equipment, were thrown under the city.

After Wei Gui launched the Baozhou Mutiny and occupied the Baozhou arsenal, there was no shortage of ordinary equipment, but the weapons made of the forbidden army, from infantry armor to stainless steel, were not many in the entire Baozhou arsenal, and there were 3,000 pieces less at once, which is equivalent to saying that the strength was greatly weakened.

Now, they are generous enough to let them clean up the battlefield, and they send a hundred people, and the temptation is huge.

Wei Gui set his eyes on Wang Xiansong, and under the premise that he couldn't make up his mind, he wanted to hear Wang Xiansong's opinion.

Wang Xiansong doesn't know much about military affairs, he knows more about Sun Ji's character, and thinks about it a little, because the name on it is Sun Ji, not someone else, this can be a gamble, and it is very likely that the other party will follow this letter.

After the two of them recognized this matter, everything was much easier to do, the benefits were very large, and the cost was very small, and soon, Wei Gui selected 100 people.

Speaking of these 100 people, Wei Gui really blushed, none of the Yunyi Army under him was willing to dispatch, because the vast majority of people felt that this was a trap, a trap to lure them to death, no one wanted to go, even if they were lying down, most of them were from the Yunyi Army, but where was the family, as long as Wang Xiansong gave an order, 100 people were quickly gathered.

When Wei Gui was suspicious, Sun Ji calmly stood on the city wall with Zhao Xin, this letter was not his idea, but Zhao Xin's idea, even he couldn't figure out why Zhao Xin was so generous, if these equipment could not be used, they would be placed there, why should they be used to increase the strength of the enemy.

Zhao Xin did this for a reason, and one of the most basic reasons is epidemic prevention.

Yes, epidemics are the most difficult force to resist, and the root cause of epidemics is either a source of infection, or it is triggered by a large disaster such as a flood, after a flood and a large number of deaths.

At the same time, wars are also about large numbers of dead bodies being decomposed by microorganisms, which eventually attract scavengers, mosquitoes, flies, and the like.

The former is nothing, whether it is a vulture or a wild dog, they do not carry many infectious diseases, but mosquitoes and flies are the most terrible, and many infectious diseases in later generations are transmitted through their flights.

Zhao Xin knows very well that the terrible thing about infectious diseases, if the fortress is still in a military state, as long as you are careful, do not use raw water, and isolate the inside and outside, you can solve this problem.

But now, the population in the fortress is too dense, too dense the population, a key problem, any infectious disease, will be magnified several times, once the epidemic of infectious diseases, for the fortress, it will be a nightmare.

For this, Zhao Xin from the very beginning, has made a perfect arrangement, internally, requiring defecation in a specific place, prohibiting open defecation, prohibiting the use of raw water, and some utensils must be disinfected, which is easy to do for Miaojiazhuang in the war period.

Zhao Xin needs to use this time to gradually let these villagers get used to this, and then gradually promote it, and in the future, lay the foundation for the city he built.

Although there were some suspicions, but when the 100 soldiers who did not carry weapons went to the bottom of the fortress, the fortress didn't care at all, the defense of the fortress was far higher than the ordinary city wall, they didn't even care what the 100 people below were doing, just clean up these corpses under the fortress wall, and don't worry about the rest.

In fact, these soldiers, in addition to cleaning up equipment and corpses, are also responsible for the purpose of spying, and they need to understand the defensive strength of the fortress, before, they rushed to the bottom of the fortress, because of the war, they are focused on attacking the fortress, not the situation of the fortress.

Now, 100 people can get close to the fortress, which is a rare opportunity, even if they are monitored from above, there is no way to see what they are doing, let alone what they do very secretly.

Sun Ji and Zhao Xin also knew that they would spy on the fortress and know the strength of the fortress, but they would not care, because the tree cannon, the ventilation hole, and the longbowmen on it, the fortress was already a perfect whole, and unless they were besieged for a long time and the fortress had a logistical crisis, there was no way to capture the fortress at all.

100 people, 1000 corpses to deal with, as well as a large number of weapons and armor, the progress was not fast, it took almost half a day, they completed the overall cleanup, the entire fortress, except for a little bloodstains, it was empty, everything was brought back by these 100 people.

At the same time, they also brought back detailed data on the fortress, according to the test of knives and other tools, the strength of the fortress should be on the ordinary city wall, with sharp knives, it is difficult to leave marks on it.

This is different from ordinary city walls, ordinary city walls, which are provided by the weight of green bricks, but the binder is glutinous rice porridge, after they are dry, they are easily pierced by sharp knives, and even some powerful ones, you can draw out a few bricks down.

But this defense is not at all, just like stones, sharp knives can leave marks on the bricks, but they can't shake the adhesive, a little force, some too weak places, and even will be broken, and through knocking, it is also found that this city wall is quite thick, at least thicker than the ordinary city wall, this overall defense will be very amazing.

In other words, it is impossible to attack this city wall by using the method of rushing the car or the impact of the giant tree, so everything is back to the original point, and they must climb the ladder to capture the fortress, and the difficulty does not know how much it will increase.

The more I learned, the more I felt that this fortress was terrible, and the more overwhelmed I was, why such a terrible fortress would appear here out of thin air.

Could it be? Wei Gui was thinking, and Wang Xiansong was also thinking, when he seemed to receive the information, the nearby villagers were rumoring that the fourth young master of the Miao family knew immortal arts, could it really be immortal arts.

When I heard this at the time, I just felt that it was nonsense, but whether it was the equipment on the canal, or the sudden appearance of the fortress, or even the equipment on it, it seemed that it could be explained by this.

Could it be that they are not facing ordinary people? Wang Xiansong was stunned by such a sudden idea, but soon, he dispelled this idea, if they faced the immortals and used siege to attack the city, I am afraid that the immortals will die with an immortal technique, and they will be so troublesome.

Besides, there is a faint idea in his heart, if it is really immortal art, then they may fail, and now, even the rebellion has begun, how to stop, can not stop, once stopped, all the advance investment, can not get the harvest, this price is so big, even the Wang family, it is difficult to bear.

Wei Gui quickly, put the situation in front of him, to put out, the key to the problem is nothing else, that is, casualties, they were repelled by the sudden blow, in fact, that is their best chance to climb the city, now if they want to regain this opportunity, they must pay at least 1000, at most 2000 casualties, if this is not solved, if they attack a little bit with refueling tactics, they will never be able to capture this fortress.
