Chapter 247: Driving the People
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
The huge fluctuations made the entire fortress fall into an inexplicable atmosphere, especially Sun Ji, he no longer paid the calm of the previous few days, and soaked in the barracks almost every day, he was old in the army, and he knew very well that at this time, if the army was not stabilized, it was very likely to collapse.
The other party actually came up with such a terrible trick, which also made him unexpected, but at this moment, what can be done, they have few personnel in the group training, this is a hard injury, there is no way to solve this problem, and when a large number of people are driven to attack the city, they must go down.
Even the elite forbidden army is facing this situation, it is very difficult to get down, and what really does it is some veterans of redundant battle formations, they know very well that on the battlefield, there is no so-called family affection and hesitation, as long as there is this thought, as long as they hesitate, then what awaits them is a catastrophe.
At the same time, Sun Ji also began to preach throughout the fortress that the rebels could even make this move, so what about after conquering the fortress? Of course he wouldn't say it, the other party's purpose was very simple, that is, to conquer the fortress and kill Zhao Xin, which the Wang family would definitely not dare to say.
Family affection stabilized them, and the fact that the rebels used blood to tell them that the other party could do anything, and the surrounding villagers, who did not even threaten them at all, were driven over and used as their shields, and what could not be done.
Sun Ji couldn't think of a way, almost naturally, he thought of Zhao Xin, it seems that from the appearance of these people, Sun Ji didn't see worry on Zhao Xin's face, could it be that Zhao Xin has a way.
Sun Ji found Zhao Xin, explained the situation, looked at Zhao Xin expectantly, and wanted to hear this sentence from Zhao Xin's mouth, but he didn't.
It can't be said that there is no, Zhao Xin is not worried at all, the people are attacking the city, at most, they will be abolished by their range, and it is impossible for the other party to drive ordinary people to climb the ladder, at most they will gather under the city, in this way, it is okay not to use long-range weapons, and tree cannons, is it possible that the other party really thinks that relying on these, they will be able to break through the fortress.
Zhao Xin simply told Sun Ji about some of the defenses of the fortress again, this time, mainly internally.
After Sun Ji listened, he looked at Zhao Xin strangely, he didn't expect at all that it turned out that the city wall and the defense outside were not the whole of the fortress defense.
This completely subverted his cognition, in the Northern Song Dynasty, in terms of defending the city, the best in the world, the strongest city defense, is the outside, and in the siege, the focus of everyone's contention, that is, on the city wall, generally speaking, as long as the city wall is occupied, a road to the city is opened, and then, the fall of the city is a matter of time.
Although there are internal defenses such as Urn City or Miyagi, these defenses are only a small obstacle for the siege troops, as long as they take out a little siege power, they can be taken quickly.
But the fortress is different, even if you cross the city wall and reach the top of the fortress, you will be attacked by superior forces, and even after occupying the upper layer of the entire fortress, does it mean that you have occupied the fortress?
Not at all, the street fighting in the later generations is the most cruel, a huge reinforced concrete city, there will be hundreds of thousands, even millions of troops, fighting each other.
Although the fortress was not designed in this way, it was modified by Zhao Xin, without thermal weapons, under the premise that there was no ordinary weapon that could threaten the fortress itself, how could he give up modifying the fortress, and take out the essence of street warfare and some tunnel warfare in later generations, and perfect the modification of the fortress, Zhao Xin even changed the fortress into a labyrinth and a killing weapon.
The entire fortress is about to be plugged, and the interior of the entire fortress is divided into different parts with reinforced concrete and cement, and some internal gates can change some areas of the fortress at any time, so that it is a passage, turning it into a dead end, into a labyrinth.
And the internal guard troops who are familiar with everything in the fortress can choose the battlefield, even if it is a thousand people, 10,000 people enter the fortress, as long as they do not enter the core of the fortress, they will lead the nose. 、
They can preset the battlefield anywhere in the fortress, although the fortress now houses more than 10,000 people, it can be said that most of the location of the fortress cannot be used as a battlefield, but even half of the location is enough to make the fortress a battlefield full of killing.
Sun Ji looked at Zhao Xin a little strangely, even if he had overestimated the terrifying strength of the fortress to the maximum, the defensive strength displayed by the fortress still surprised him.
With these fortifications, he can even come up with several strategies.
Wei Gui used these people, abolished the tree cannon and the longbow, then, they can put the battlefield on the top of the fortress and let them in, how to say, the 40-meter-high city wall is also a huge obstacle, once the back road is cut off, these people who enter the fortress, what should they do, I'm afraid they can only rush forward.
Even, Wei Gui chose to drive the people below and board the fortress, which had little impact, after all, there was still space inside their fortress, and at the same time, Zhao Xin also said that the second fortress would be built in a day at most, and when the time came, a group of people would go over, although it was said that the guard force was further reduced, but under the linkage between the two fortresses, it was a nightmare for the rebels.
The rebels have already hit the head, and if they don't achieve their goal, they won't leave, seeing that the rebels, the overall number is 13,000, and now they have cleared out 1,500 people, and there are a little more than 10,000, if you use this time to attract almost three or four thousand soldiers, once you lose three or four thousand elites plus equipment, I'm afraid that next, the rebels will not be able to organize a large-scale attack at all.
Next, how to fight, it depends on this time, before letting them take back the corpse, Sun Ji is against, he doesn't know the horror of the plague, but in his opinion, after these equipment go back, it will increase the strength of the right, and finally knocked out the heavy infantry of about 1000, and now, it is equivalent to the result of this battle is discounted.
Now it seems that he is a little worried, in the face of such a terrible defense of the fortress, it seems that everything is not a problem, and at the same time, as long as the people do not come up, they can let the tree cannon retreat to the core area, but in the core area, you can use the tree cannon to consume the enemy on a large scale.
The problem that was originally bothering him no longer existed in an instant, even Sun Ji didn't expect that it would be solved so easily, and he even began to worry about what to do if the other party didn't attack.
However, obviously, the other party has gathered so many people, how can they not attack, take it and keep it, they have enough food, but they don't let these be used casually, more than 10,000 people, it is also very difficult to guard, although Wei Gui also knows that it is not good to indulge soldiers, but at this moment, in order to maintain the wildness and attack power of soldiers, he must indulge.
The darkness of the night covers most of the evils, and for the surrounding villagers, they do not listen to the persuasion of the elders and stay, which is the greatest tragedy.
This is a rebellion, not an invasion by foreign enemies, as long as they run out of the range of Baozhou, it is safe enough, in fact, as long as they run out of the surrounding distance of 60 miles, it will be safe, those who have the foresight are just three or four days in advance, dragging their families with their mouths, and how far they can run, but most of them are safe.
In just 3 days, a total of thousands of people died, this is the darkest few days in the history of Baozhou, even if it is the night when Baozhou is taken, burned and looted, there are not so many dead people, under high pressure and cruelty, these people become numb, give food to eat, do not run, and even urge them to go to the battlefield, but also on the battlefield, for them, death, seems to be the only relief.
It took 4 more days than before, and with enough people, the rebels still made 150 ladders, at least twice as many as before, driving a large number of people as shields to help them quickly approach the city wall, and then they rushed to the city wall, even if the other party used any so-called gunpowder weapon, it was impossible to inflict enough damage on them.
The people are their reward, the women who have been collected from all directions, and the money, they are the ones who push, even if Wei Gui doesn't want to, he can only succumb, the rebels, only by completely triggering his beastly nature, can he finally gain enough morale, and the rest of the agitation can't be motivated.
War drums and horns began to concentrate again, and the crowd was pressed by the black, this time, a total of more than 20,000 people were mobilized, of which the people at the front were driven away, and the rear was about 8,000 hoplites.
After knowing the defensive strength of the fortress, whether it was a bow or a tree cannon, they knew that non-heavy infantry would not have much effect under such a defense, and it was better to put it in the barracks than to send it.
A total of almost 12,000 people, all of whom died, were discarded and burned, and even the stench of burning corpses filled the space, making the surrounding atmosphere depressing.
Looking at the huge and towering fortress, Wei Gui's heart was full of expectations, today, this fortress must be taken down and drive the people to attack the city, this is a terrible trick, he has not even encountered it, but he has heard that as long as the training is a little bit unable to keep up, the quality of the soldiers is a little worse, and a thought is wrong, it is possible to collapse.
According to the previous simple contact, the opponent's defense is really strong, and the bow is also very sharp, but the quality of the soldier really can't be called very strong.
Victory or defeat is today!
The sound of drums and trumpets sounded, the phalanx began to move, and the hoplites, hiding behind the people, urged the people forward with sharp blades, because of the quality, they walked relatively slowly, and even from time to time, the people were beaten to the ground by whips or sharp blades, and the whole scene was chaotic.
For the fortress, the biggest test is just around the corner.
