Chapter 239: Frontal Assault
Could it be that he is still facing a very poor army?
This idea just rose in Wei Gui's heart, and he removed it, even if he was facing a group training, even if the group training was not completely carried out, and the weapon was not stable, but his opponent was not a group training, it was Sun Ji, Xue Yu, and Qu Yang.
These, perhaps in other channels, have unlimited reputations, but in the forbidden army, among the 800,000 forbidden troops, they are definitely star-like existences, not to mention, they are all in the forbidden army, serving as the head of the sect, and Sun Ji is still the same existence as the head of the sect.
How could such an elite officer make such a mistake, is it deliberate?
Wei Gui basically guessed correctly, but what he couldn't figure out was why Sun Ji was so bold, wasn't he afraid of fake plays?
The time of the day has been delayed for more than half of the day, and when lunch has passed, Wei Gui still hasn't figured it out, so he simply makes a decision, regardless of them, how many people can be in such a small castle, and attack from all sides at the same time.
finally made up his mind, Wei Gui must take this Miaojiazhuang, he has already gotten on the forgotten ship, and he has rebelled, so he can't turn back.
Wang Xiansong also agrees very much, today's performance makes him, who does not know much about military affairs, a little strange, why this is useless.
Although he is a representative sent by the Wang family, he cannot interfere in the entire military layout, and it would be a lie to say that he is not in a hurry.
The interception on the canal began, the Wang family has been involved in this matter a little deeply, it is impossible to completely avoid the eyes and ears, the more the Wang family does, the more hands and feet behind them, they rely on backup and other forces, if Zhao Xin is not taken away, Renzong plus Zhao Xin, the two generations of emperors will make them like maggots on tarsal bones, the Wang family has no future,
The danger must be nipped in the bud, once Renzong has no Zhao Xin, it can't be said to be a toothless tiger, at most, on the surface, give the Wang family a little bit of ugliness, one step deeper, it is impossible, this is also where their confidence lies.
It is precisely because of these confidence that the Wang family is desperate.
The trumpets and snare drums sounded, this was official, not the previous bluff, and it was clear that the other side gave up the little tricks and began to fight hard.
Looking at the teams coming out of the barracks, it was obvious that they were going to exert collective pressure, Sun Ji looked at the rebels below, who had already divided their troops, and laughed, the last thing that the fortress was afraid of was the division of troops, maybe concentrating in one place would make him a little more hurried, because of uneven training, he really concentrated to a certain number, regardless of the sacrifice rushed up, and they had to make up for the gaps.
However, the division of troops, even if they do not defend, how much they can attack, only a ladder of more than 40 meters, they can climb up, without using their hands above, in the air hole, they can break up their offensive.
However, before that, is it possible to test the longbow, such a long time of contact, especially in the later stage, the real upper fortress test, the power of the longbow hand makes Sun Feng Chang satisfied.
The fact that the longbowman is more labor-saving allows a simple longbowman to shoot more arrows in battle than the most elite archers among the archers.
The reason is very simple, the longbow is more labor-saving, and the half-stone longbow can achieve the effect of a 2-stone hard bow, which not only brings more archers' material selection, but also brings stronger staying power.
Just like the training of ordinary soldiers, whether it is more times to lift 1 stone at a time, or more times than half a stone, this is not twice as much, and the strength of each trumpet of a longbowman is about one-third of that of a qualified archer, or even one-sixth of the elite, and in the case of similar strength, or even worse, the durability is greatly enhanced.
And durability is the most critical place for archers, in a big battle, often the archers hold on for a maximum of 20 minutes, and then they will stop because of the exhaustion of strength, generally speaking, that is, 60-80 arrows, which all archers cannot surpass, even if it is Sun Ji, unless he can use a bow and arrow that is much lower than his real strength, otherwise, it is about this number.
As long as the longbowman is under the command of the archer, the remaining archers can shoot brainlessly according to the guidance of the archer, so that before the strength is exhausted, at least 150 arrows can be easily reached, which is the sustained power of the longbowman.
150 arrows, not the short arrow of the short bow, but the long arrow, its power, the use of projectile, under the premise of increasing weight, his power, far stronger than ordinary arrows, and even in a sense, the projectile is more powerful than the direct shot, the gravitational acceleration brought by the height is enough to offset the weakness of the final range, in the later stage, the speed will be faster and faster, this point, condescending is particularly terrifying, to some extent, if you shoot arrows down on the fortress, for the longbow, it is even more powerful.
200 longbowmen, once again, assembled above, while 50 hoplites were concentrated on the upper side.
50 hoplite warriors look very powerful, but Sun Ji knows that this is the most unreliable.
Yesterday, in Wei Gui's temptation, the archers were fine, because they were hiding inside, and at Sun Ji's request, they couldn't go out to see, and they didn't see the other party's military appearance, but those who saw it were all trembling with fright.
It's really hard to say what it would be like if they really wanted to attack and attack.
Of course, Sun Ji will not worry, it will be breached, the strength of the defense of the fortress is far stronger than he imagined, just that vent is enough to deal with their attacks, even Sun Ji has a little headache in the face of such a defense, the performance of these soldiers above actually has little impact on the entire battle.
It's just that Sun Ji still wants to train the team, and the team that has not experienced actual combat can never be trusted, with such an excellent defense as the fortress, the price of training his recruits will be low to a certain extent.
On top of the fortress, the height of 40 meters itself, coupled with the threat of the longbow to the archers, basically, there will be a lot fewer bows and arrows that fall on this, and the guards on it are either soldiers who are wearing foot armor to the extreme, or archers who are wearing paper armor and are more flexible and in the second line, how much can they hurt.
There is such a key as the longbow, under the premise of the forehead, the longbow can shoot with 10 times the archers, this is still a field, the two sides are on the same plane, if it is a fortress, you can even proudly say that in the face of 5000 archers, you can not suppress the opponent, but you can name the opponent one by one within 2 moments, causing huge damage without loss.
In this case, let the heavy infantry have a preliminary exercise, as a general, he very much hopes that his soldiers will become elite soldiers, and at the same time, as Zhao Xin's protection, he also knows very well that the Baozhou Mutiny is just the result of the conspirators behind it, in the future, such things may follow, and it is definitely a good thing to have a strong army that is strong enough to deal with any crisis.
Sun Ji is ready to take advantage of the opportunity of this battle to let the regimental training be well trained, the intensity is in a small war, it is also a war, after this battle, as long as the remaining regimental training, you can change from a recruit to a veteran with a certain foundation, in this regard, the improvement of regimental training is quite high.
But at this moment, the soldiers who were concentrated in front were a little chaotic, 8,000 heavily armored soldiers, divided into 4 parts, slowly pressed towards the fortress, the pressure on this momentum was really breathless, some soldiers even trembled a little, if it wasn't for the support of the female wall, maybe they would have fallen.
Sun Ji didn't say a word, calmly looked at the army below, this is what they have to go through, only after experiencing fear, fear, and even in such fear and fear, can they finally come out and become a real veteran.
Below, it is somewhat similar to yesterday's temptation, the same 8,000 soldiers, but after the 8,000 soldiers, there are some more today, mainly concentrated here in Miaojiazhuang.
Sun Ji glanced at it simply, the number of people was about 1,300 people, looking at their equipment, sure enough, they were short archers.
Before, in a short confrontation, the short bow was attacked by the longbow team for 60 breaths, and in just 60 breaths, the casualties exceeded 300, which can be said to be one-fifth of the casualties of the short bow team, and the damage of the short bow team is not high, but Wei Gui still took out the short bow team.
Siege warfare, the most suitable for long-range suppression, is the archer, only the archer to suppress the soldiers at the head of the city, the siege army, can have the opportunity to quickly pass through the dangerous area, and even finally climb to the head of the city.
However, when encountering the combination of the fortress and the longbowman, such a trick is not useful, because the longbow itself is above the range of the short bow, and the height is 40 meters higher, and the short bow is difficult to suppress them within the range.
However, in order to reduce the casualties of climbing the city wall, Wei Gui still took the risk of sending the short archers, but not to prepare to suppress, but at a critical moment, at least when the hoplites had already begun to climb, and then enter the area.
Numerical superiority, this is in addition to the equipment advantage, Wei Gui can rely on the key point, even if the opponent's archers, their range is above them, but personnel is their biggest disadvantage, when the time comes, when the heavy infantry begins to attack, it has reached the critical part, whether you want to attack the heavy infantry, or attack the archers, he is also to strengthen this numerical advantage.
Almost instantly, Sun Ji figured out Wei Gui's thoughts, I have to say that Wei Gui's thoughts were very correct, but he underestimated the terrifying strength of the longbow and the strength of the defense, looking at the soldiers below who were preparing to attack, Sun Ji clasped his hands on his chest, confidently waiting for the start of the attack.
