Chapter 231: Covering Attack
Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Although it is a heavy force pressure mirror, but because of the relationship between the class and defense, it does not even bring a little pressure, and I think that 1500 archers can bring much pressure, who knows, most of them shot down the body of the fortress.
You can't blame these archers, the archers brought by Wei Gui, in terms of their basic abilities, have already completely destroyed the other forbidden armies of the Great Song Dynasty, except that there are no strong marksmen like Xue Yu and Sun Ji, but they are also above the level.
However, the natural disadvantage of the short bow makes him not have a high curve, if he wants to shoot down a height of 40 meters, it is not difficult, and he can still cross the curve and hit the target, or the kind that is aimless and does not know who to attack, it is too difficult.
Wei Gui was also not satisfied with the effect of the attack, how he wished that this fortress was made of wood, so that long arrows could shoot through the fortress, so that fire could be used.
Now, as if it were certain, the rock-solid fortress that he could not penetrate at all, proved that it should be a stone or at least a brick.
What the hell are they going to do, how are they going to get past this fortress, which is obviously more powerful than they thought?
At this time, the short bow began again, this time, the shooting was not as neat as the first time, and it seemed sparse, and likewise, there was not a single shot at the position of the plank.
Sun Ji above, sighed, this is also the advantage, Sun Ji looked at the area one by one, that is, their next attack target, sighed, this is the most terrifying place, the longbowman is hiding here, the probability of being hit is very low, a sharpshooter like him, under the premise of not the same height, can only use projectiles, paper armor also solves the problem of being injured, the only thing that can threaten, may only be left with catapults.
But there are so many catapults, and the height of more than 40 meters, catapults are also very rare to hit over, catapults generally need to be farther than the archer's range, otherwise, it is easy to be attacked by the archer, in excess of the archer's range, and to fly more than 30 meters, which is an impossible problem for the catapult.
The opponent's archers are approaching, it stands to reason that they should be brought closer, but when projectile, if it is really closer, it is not easy to exert force, and the power of the bow and arrow will drop a lot, which is also one of the key weaknesses of projectile.
On the premise of determining the power of the longbow, they strictly divided several areas, more than 80 steps, is the range of the longbow, in this area, all are the area of the longbowman's attack, within 80 meters, it is the accurate shooting of the rifle, but now, there is no way, only within 30 meters, when the opponent's personnel gather more under the premise, will the wooden cannon be used.
To be honest, this wooden cannon is too terrible, far beyond Sun Ji's imagination, after a few attempts, not only the power has increased, from 20 meters to about 35 meters, the lethality is also amazing, no longer casually made, but wrapped together steel balls, under the impetus of gunpowder, quickly forward, after coming out, I thought that the reasoning was different, and scattered, it is easier to use the driving force of gunpowder, and the damage to the gun chamber is smaller
For Zhao Xin, in the future, when the quality of steel comes up, or under the premise of getting better steel, he can use iron pipes to increase his protective ability, of course, under this premise, you can consider raising a gun or a small cannon, of course, these are not comparable with wooden cannons, under the premise of having enough materials, wooden cannons are the simplest.
Only dig out the wood, as long as there is a little carpentry foundation, or even a little training, as long as the inner diameter is smooth, it can be used as a cannon, this premise is relative to ordinary artillery, this is simply not costly, as for the problem is not to mention, when there is no artillery in the whole world, this is the best way to use gunpowder, when thousands of troops come again, as long as there is enough artillery, even if it is a chance, it can also be heavily damaged, as long as the cavalry can not rush up, That's why he has as much lethality as before.
With a little release, they were 100 paces, and they hadn't yet reached the optimal 80 paces, and their archers were also preparing.
In Sun Ji's whispered order, all 500 longbowmen picked up their longbows.
After a month and a half of training, especially the whole training process, the quasi-modern training method is adopted, which is much stricter than the training of the modern army.
The eyes are sharp, the expression is focused, and a long arrow placed in front of him, this special longbow platform, in order to help the longbowman shoot, is also covered with a layer of soil, to ensure that all the long arrows are inserted in the soil, to ensure the tradition of the longbow, when all 500 people open their bows and open their arrows, time freezes in this instant.
"Azimuth 17,30 degrees, four points of strength!" Sun Ji calmly reported the location, which represented the place where the entire shortbow team was most concentrated, including not only more than 300 shortbowmen, but also at least 400 heavy infantry.
In actual combat training, it has been proven that the longbow, at short distances, cannot penetrate the defenses of the infantry armor, but some weak links are okay.
Under Sun Ji's command, the longbow was more biased towards the short archers, and then everyone followed the order, stretched the bow, and aimed, and now the ability to execute according to the order has exceeded 80%, that is, as long as this round is fired, it can cover at least 400 arrows.
Whoosh, a special sound came from the sky above the fortress, because it was the sound of 500 archers shooting at about the same time, so it was a little different, a rain of arrows covered the sky, and then shot towards the other party. 、
The counterattack, the long-awaited counterattack finally arrived, and it also proved that in the bastion, there were people who defended, which did not make Wei Guiduo happy, because they found that their short archers were too close.
Without waiting for Wei Gui to give an order, the experienced soldiers in front had already begun to raise their big shields, shouting that the short archers were hiding under the shields, but it was too late, the short archers were attacking the castle, and some of them even shot half of the arrows, at this time, where could they dodge, the longbow was faster than the short bow and crossed the distance between them, and countless thick long arrows fell from the sky, filling the entire area, and screaming for a while.
30 degrees of direction scale, is the most suitable, but also the most pairs of longbow training, on the top of the longbow, also drawn with different scales, a very important part of the longbow training, is to confirm these scales, as long as inside, after aligning these directions, the rest, there is no problem, 30 degrees is the easiest, all the longbowmen are aimed in that direction, and strength training is the same, this time, it is their first counterattack, the hit rate is actually more than 9 percent, at least 450 bows and arrows, Hit that area.
The longbow, even if it is not used on the arrow, but the heavy arrow, still makes these penetrating power extremely strong, except for the impenetrable, heavy chain mail and foot armor, the other Song army's standard dealers, can not resist such an attack, at this moment, the rebels below, are still immersed in the excitement before the attack, they don't know, the nightmare is coming, especially the short archers.
The first wave of long arrows is still flying in the air, and the second wave of long arrows are flying again, which is the most commonly used subject in training, that is, the barrage is covered, and it is also half a scale to cut, and then a minimum of seven arrows will be fired, and a total of 3,500 long arrows will be fired, completely covering that area.
This is also the reason why Sun Ji chose the first area, where is the closest to the castle, and after that, it spreads backwards, harvesting step by step.
If the opponent is familiar with the operation of the longbowman and rushes forward, rushing in the direction of the moat, he may be able to avoid this catastrophe, but unfortunately, it is a human being who faces such an indiscriminate attack, and all they can do is run backwards.
But 3,500 long arrows, how could he give him a chance to escape, countless arrows landed from the air, layer by layer on the ground to form a jungle belonging to arrows, these soldiers wearing leather armor, one by one on the ground, occasionally, some because of running, or exposed flaws, were shot by long arrows, as long as the long arrows are not the strongest place to protect the foot armor, the rest can be pierced.
With the rate of fire of the longbow, in 1 minute, you can shoot 7 arrows, on the battlefield, because of the tension, high-level performance, they are the fastest speed, the prescribed shot is not there, when the rain of arrows finally stopped, the scene was also silent.
They were surrounded by two-meter wooden planks, so they couldn't see anything, and according to discipline, they were not allowed to lean out to see, they could only wait for Sun Ji to report the results to them.
In fact, Sun Ji had just now, on the way to attack, he had seen that the effect was very good, in the area where the archers were shrouded, the black pressure overwhelmed the people on the ground, conservatively estimated, at least three or four hundred, and the hit rate of one in 10 was already quite high for a covered shot like a longbow, especially among them, there were at least more than 30 figures, wearing foot armor.
Even the step armor can shoot down, whether the quality of this step armor is not up to par, or their luck, these go without saying.
Such an attack, like a storm, suddenly blinded the rebels, Wei Gui felt bad, but he didn't expect that the opponent's bow and arrow counterattack would be so fierce, almost more than three times that of their archery team, could it be that this small fortress actually hid thousands of soldiers, how should this be fought.
However, the whole right morale has been lost, he can no longer be on the battlefield like this, Ming Jin withdraws his troops, when Ming Jin's voice resounded throughout the audience, Sun Ji also knew that today's battle is over, both sides have tasted it, and they have made a trial, but Miaojiazhuang, which occupies the key defensive place, obviously has the upper hand and has achieved a huge advantage.
