To fight a defensive war, it should be aimed at the cavalry who are not good at attacking the city, or the grassland troops, such troops, let alone rebuilding the castle, even if it is the original city defense of Miaojiazhuang, has a huge defensive effect. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the three kingdoms of Western Xia, Liao, and Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty was the best at defending the city, and at the same time it was the best at attacking the city, but in the Western Xia and Liao States, there were not so many strong cities for the Northern Song Dynasty to capture, so the ability was shown in the defense of the city.

Only by understanding the combat effectiveness of the Yunyi Army in detail, as well as Zhao Xin, who understands the history of the Song Dynasty, can he understand the terrible siege of the Yunyi Army.

As the most elite forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Yunyi Army also belongs to the border army among the forbidden troops, in addition to having large-scale siege weapons, it also has siege weapons, and even a very large number.

In addition to the absence of a well bar, the well bar belongs to a specific siege weapon, in general, it needs to be manufactured with the help of some parts, and will not be used as a standing siege engine, other standing siege machine punch car, catapult, arrow guard and other conventional siege engines, are available, and the ladder is also a large number of owned.

Siege training is also one of the regular training of the Yunyi Army, every other month, there will be a special drill, the target is Baozhou City, it can be said that under the same troop conditions, take an ordinary county seat, more than double the premise, take Baozhou is no problem, not to mention Miaojiazhuang, even the village is not a soil enclosure.

The last thing Zhao Xin should fight is the idea of defending the city, because ten are to besiege it, five to attack it, starting from scratch, starting from scratch, even if Zhao Xin has great ability, in a few months, he will pull up a team of six or seven hundred people at most, compared with the 2,500-person Yunyi Army, there is a gap of more than four times, not to mention the people who are willing to mix in on a larger scale.

Just in case, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely send elites to come, they are mixed into the Cloud Wing Army, plus the strength of the Cloud Wing Army, I am afraid it will really exceed 10 times, this number, no matter how tight the city defense is, it is impossible.

This is the cognition in the ordinary sense, as far as the Song Dynasty, which is currently the most good at defending the city, there are few instances of resisting 10 times the enemy with the help of city defense, even if the opponent is not good at attacking the Western Xia army, but Zhao Xin chose such a method, the reason is very simple, the fortress, which has never appeared in China, is the most capable of exerting the power of the longbowman, and the fortress with great defensive power is an inevitable choice.

The fortress is built, this kind of city defense, what catapults, rushing cars, and even ladders, are all looking at the ocean and sighing, even if the well fence is made, the general well fence is the height of the city wall, so that the archers can get the same vision and height as the city, but in the era of cold weapons, the strongest city defense, not only has strong defense, but also the easiest to play the characteristics of archers.

Archers, the weakness in the field, placed in the siege war, will become a strong place, the combination of the fortress and the longbowman, even more so, under the premise of perfect logistics support, the longbowman is the sharpest arrow, enough to make most of the siege engines of this era, can not produce any effect, arrow blocking vehicles, rushing cars, and even ladders, can not block the sharpness of the longbow.

A good defense system can raise the combat effectiveness of the archer to a very high level, the archer, as a strong offensive and weak class, when he can wholeheartedly exert his attack power, no class can compare with him, the longbow is the best among them, and the attack power is exerted to the extreme.

The special setting of the fortress, so that the frontal hard attack, for the attacker, is a nightmare, in the excavation operation, before the method of excavation and siege is found, the fortress is known in Europe as an impossible castle, there were sixty or seventy thousand people, the attack of less than 500 people of the fortress, for several years without breaking the record, tens of thousands of people in vain, under the fortress left countless corpses, creating the strength of the fortress.

This is a later story, Zhao Xin will definitely lean on the top of the fortress, whether it can be built, it depends on the next test, bricks, cement, any part of the problem, will affect the fortress.

The early fortress is a boulder with a special adhesive, forming a solid structure like a stone wall, the construction is difficult, time-consuming, only the structure formed by bricks and cement can be completed quickly, if there is a problem on this, then it can only be an ordinary structure, so that the cost of personnel will be more, the cost will be greater, and the degree of protection is not as high as the fortress.

With a few sighs, Zhao Xin understood, there is a long way to go, Danmu is dead, there is no need to worry about having a terrible marksman beside him, the Falling Moon Bow is now in Sun Ji's hands, even if the same Danmu is attacking with the Falling Moon Bow, it may not be Sun Ji's opponent.

But the opponent's tricks are endless, the Yunyi Army rebelled, for this era, people who are not familiar with history, this sentence is a joke, but after getting the mention of history, Zhao Xin has to admit that this is a perfect way to solve the problem.

Perhaps, the corpse in the ancient tomb fell because of the Baozhou mutiny, and there were only more than 2,500 people, or even 5,000 elite military forces, and the sudden siege made it as strong as Sun Ji to leave with Zhao Xin, maybe from the mutiny to the military Miaojiazhuang, there will only be one day, or even shorter, there will be 500 cavalry troops blocking the gate, even if it is Sun Ji, he can't get out.

Even at present, Zhao Xin knew in advance that if there was no card system and no longbowmen trained in advance, I am afraid that they would have to run as far as they could, and the total military strength of 5,000 or even more was more than that of the people in Miaojiazhuang, which was not something that Miaojiazhuang could resist.

According to historical records, the Baozhou Mutiny launched in April and May 1044 is almost half a year away from now, and the death of Danmu will not make this mutiny advanced.

How much time does he have, this needs the support of intelligence, inciting the Yunyi Army to rebel, it must start from the military salary, the defects of the official system in the Northern Song Dynasty make it rare for the high-level to go down to observe the people's feelings, and even if there is, they will not be aware of it all the time, anyway, Zhao Xin should pay attention, as long as there is boiling public opinion, there will not be much time to launch it in the end, this is the only advantage.

To make money, in addition to the need for intelligence, there is also the need for the card system, the card system is powerful, helping him successfully get through the difficulties, that is, he wants money to die, it is 130% of the cost, he wants to arm the entire Miaojiazhuang, the money needed may be 3000, or even 5000, an army that can deal with 2500 people, at least more than 700 armed to the teeth, even if it can't be taken out for training, always have to prepare.

According to an army, 20 guan from beginning to end, this is not much, 700 people, it is 14,000 guan, much more than when they had the most cash before, it may have to be step-by-step, there are 120 longbowmen, and then assisted by a certain spearmen, you can deal with the elite below 500, now, this number has risen to 10 times, and the cost has increased more than ten times.

The investment in military equipment is only a starting point, the key is training, the wear and tear of weapons, the consumption of arrows, daily expenses, and even bounties, this is a real trickle, as long as this army exists, it will definitely be spent, a huge amount of money.

The investment in the army is only a part, and the more critical thing is still to come, in order to fully exert the power of the longbow, it is necessary to build a stable defense, in fact, for the longbowman, the most able to exert its strength is a fixed defense.

Miaojiazhuang agreed, in the Miaojiazhuang inside to build a strong castle, this is the best choice, is equivalent to Miaojiazhuang divided into the inner and outer city, increase the defense force, the original core of the house, than the outside is stronger, but it is too small, in the form of a house, not a fortress, to expand, must expand the house more than 5 times.

Near the house, it is the core of Miaojiazhuang, and it is the place with the ugliest population, but Zhao Xin also knows that the ordinary villagers are a little difficult to leave their homeland, and the homes that have been formed are difficult to change, so they can only retreat to the second best place and build a castle, Miaojiazhuang is still too big, which is not conducive to defense.
