Wang Xiansong's words successfully attracted Wei Gui's attention, things have happened, no matter where those elite archers, those foot armor, got it, now blame the Wang family, it is useless, and he still needs to command the siege of the city.

Seeing Wei Gui fall into deep thought, Wang Xiansong breathed a sigh of relief, he tilted his head and looked at Miaojiazhuang, to be honest, Miaojiazhuang gave him countless surprises, and when these surprises were combined, they became terrifying.

A small village, even if there is Miao Shufei standing behind, it is just a small force, they ask themselves, everything is done quite perfectly, even after suffering huge losses, they have done a good job of monitoring, but no one expected that the variables are one after another.

A huge, he had never seen a fortress before, this thing appeared out of thin air, the spies around were stupid, at least 200, at most 400 elite archers, this is even more difficult to operate in the sky, if Renzong could have done all this a long time ago, wouldn't it be a joke that the canal interception they instigated?

The most important thing is still here, 50 body of foot armor, this thing, but under the direct control of the Ministry of War, under the supervision of a few people, with the power of Wang Deyong, it is still difficult to get one or two, 50 bodies, unless the officials of the Weapons Department of the Ministry of War, from top to bottom, are all bought, all towards Renzong, this is almost impossible.

The most critical thing in the Northern Song Dynasty is control, the emperor has a certain balance, which is not only above the court, in the governor's affairs, but also in the entire important organ, it is impossible for one person to dominate, even now, Renzong's support for Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan also has a great reputation, but above the court, there are still many opposing voices, and many areas are not something he can intervene in.

Wang Xiansong was glad that Wei Gui's train of thought had been transferred, Wei Gui thought more deeply, to be honest, no wonder the Wang family was so jealous of Miaojiazhuang, under their pervasive investigation, Miaojiazhuang could actually have such an arrangement, archers, foot armor, and fortresses, is it really as simple as the Wang family said?

Miao Jiazhuang, but Miao Shufei's manor in Baozhou has always been taken care of by officials in Baozhou, with Wei Gui's status, he is not qualified to participate in this, but now the development of things does not allow him not to think about it, it is difficult to make it involved, and it involves the secrets of the royal family.

Wei Gui couldn't help but be taken aback by his thoughts, anything related to the royal family and the emperor, it was a big secret, even Wang Deyong was shirtless, I'm afraid his fate would not be good, there might have been a glimmer of hope to escape before, but now, it seems that it is completely gone.

Frustration rose directly from Wei Gui's heart, and he even forgot to command the battle.

The forbidden army is elite, and without orders from above, they will continue to attack according to previous orders, even if they face threats from above.

Whether it is the Yunyi Army, or the family members, they are not recruits, on the battlefield, hesitation is a taboo, in the face of the enemy's attack, only bravely forward, with me invincible, is the best way to deal with it, the timid and afraid of death, die faster.

50 infantry can't protect such a large area at all, even if they are smashed with stones, they can hit a few, compared to the rain of arrows in the past wars, this density is much smaller.

At the same time, the stones falling from the sky, if they didn't just hit the vital point, the head, or some weak parts of the armor, smashed on the back and chest, and would not kill people, at most they would be injured, and the most important thing was that on the top of the fortress, when the bow and arrow stopped slightly, the short archers on this side, also under the protection of the big shield, began to attack.

However, the arrows are noticeably much thinner.

In itself, 1,500 short archers are not dense, a total of 13,000 people, almost a tenth, plus repeated casualties, the total at this time, less than 1,000 people.

At the same time, under the protection of the big shield, the big shield gives them safe protection, and also affects the entire formation, at least, if you want to shoot safely, the angle of the shot must not be too straight, there must be a curve.

The characteristics of the short bow are that the direct shot is more accurate, it is not easy to miss, and the power is not small, and then it is easy to carry, in this battlefield, all the advantages can not be inclined to him under the premise, and to feint against the top, or the method of angle shooting, which greatly weakens the power of the short bow.

The 40-meter-high fortress, like a moat, isolated from the threat of bows and arrows, the height of the bow and arrow cut, is greater than they imagined, even if the archers have used enough force, they also take this into account, but they are more accustomed to the feeling of ordinary siege, the highest, but to about 12 meters, plus the cut of the big shield, most of them are shot below 10 meters.

There were only a few that landed on the fortress, and out of 1,000 people, 20 people shot it, which was good.

Bow and arrow, from the appearance of the army, the greatest deterrent, lies in the dense, ten thousand arrows in unison of the rain of arrows, for the range of infantry attacks, has always been the strongest place for archers, the proportion of 2%, has been extremely low, the density of 80 arrows per 60 breath, relative to the full 3 acres of the fortress, is simply low to the extreme.

Even to a certain extent, most of the arrows, barely shot to the top of the fortress, are also exhausted in strength, and there are very few who have the ability to shoot the infantry, but in the face of the strong defense of the infantry armor, how can it be penetrated, and even some bold soldiers reached over to grab the arrows, I have to say, this lucky guy, really caught.

This is not arranged by Sun Ji, if Sun Ji makes a move, his speed is faster, his vision is more accurate, and he will choose some of the fastest flying, some threatening, juggling to catch a few arrows.

However, it was these who followed them, gradually trained from peasants to become soldiers of a qualified regiment, and gave them a great boost.

Standing on the top of the city, the Miaojiazhuang group training, they were carefully selected from the many group exercises, and they can be regarded as the kind with better training and better physical fitness, but these two months ago, the strong men of Miaojiazhuang, who were still ordinary farmers, participated in such a large-scale battle for the first time.

It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid, they were still apprehensive before, and the longbowmen were also down, it was absolutely safe there, and they could not see the siege army, but they were different, they saw it comprehensively from the very beginning.

The neat military appearance, the heavy infantry armor, and the number of far more than them, in any aspect, are three or four times more than their total number, and the pressure can be imagined, and if you don't turn around and run on the spot, it is the result of strict training.

However, from the attack, a few arrows fell, and they could easily be caught, so you can imagine the difference.

Anyway, they are also standing on the top of the city, temporarily threatening them, that is, bows and arrows, even bows and arrows are so weak, you can imagine what will happen to the troops below, to really stand on the same level as them, it is necessary to cross the 40-meter-high city wall, in the offensive and defensive battles, they have also tried, to step through this, it is very difficult.

The army pressed the border, and the thousands of archers, but against the wall, most of which were blocked by the wall, gave them confidence, and they felt for the first time that the wall under their feet was so strong that it would give them enough confidence, how could they collapse in this situation.

They shouted one after another, and even the fear in their hearts weakened to almost nothing.

Such a result, I'm afraid that even Zhao Xin didn't expect it, let alone Sun Ji, in the era of cold weapons, morale is a very important factor, even if it is well-trained, even if it is well-equipped, as long as there is no morale, everything is nothing, the difference between the two sides, not to the overwhelming premise, morale is enough to decide everything.

In the era of thermal weapons, it is different, morale is still important, but morale does not represent the difference in weapons, one side only has a rifle and the other side has a machine gun under the premise, three or four people with the help of geographical advantages, blocking 1,000 people, in the era of thermal weapons abounds, in the era of cold weapons, but I dare not imagine, that for everyone, it is similar to the feeling of the Arabian Nights.

Encouraged by the morale, the strict training formed a memory, which gradually emerged, and without even waiting for Sun Ji's order to be given, they had already begun to attack according to the training movements.

Before, I smashed it with a brick, but subconsciously, and it was more scattered, but now 50 people have combined into a camp and started to attack the following separately, and the fun is great.

One by one, the poles were taken out and they began to push the ladders, and both sides knew that the ladders were the key, and without the help of the ladders, it was impossible to cross the 40-meter-high city wall.

However, when the archers were unable to threaten the protective forces above, they were able to attack the ladder with ease, and even one or two people shook the ladder so that it could not be pushed away from the wall.

The ladder is 40 meters high, and its weight is more than 100 kilograms, plus at least seven or eight people have gone up, almost a ton of weight, that is, a super fierce person like Sun Ji, or more than 10 people, can be pushed away, and it is really difficult for these ordinary soldiers to do all this.

But not being able to push away does not mean that it cannot be influenced, the bottom is not stable, and the constant shaking on the top makes it a little difficult for all the soldiers who climb, and they fall directly if they are slightly unstable.

The two sides on the top of the city, spread their foot strength, but the upper hand is the rebels, the city, there are only 50 soldiers, these soldiers, one person counts one, can not fully control all the ladders, in all directions, a total of 70 ladders on the city.

Even if each one is not too long, just barely on top of the city, but it is enough to occupy 50 people, 40 meters high, with the help of the ladder, under the premise of no impact, maybe 100 breaths, or a little less, the heavily armed heavy infantry will climb the city, even Wang Xiansong and Wei Gui, no longer speak, they hold their breath, watching the changes above the city.
