Chapter 226: Empty City Plan?
Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
The speed of the cavalry, the distance of more than ten miles, at most is about a stick of incense, it has already arrived, not to mention that Baozhou and Miaojiazhuang are connected, there is a passage, there is no mountain to obstruct it, when bypassing a relatively dense forest in front of Miaojiazhuang, a large number of red dots appeared in Zhao Xin's war system.
The war system has been opened, and among the subordinates, except for Sun Ji and a few other individuals, the regimental training, the longbow team, and the strong men in charge of logistics, are all suddenly in the war system, but there are more personnel, and the descriptions of all aspects are not too detailed.
Of course, the rebels did not do a good job of reconnaissance in advance, and for these rebels, except for a small number of people, the rest did not even know what they were going to do here.
The red dots are dense, the war has begun, and the longbowmen in paper armor all set off to the top area of the fortress, where they will form a barrier, and everyone who attacks the fortress will receive their attack.
At the same time, there were also 100 heavy infantry, who were dressed in the infantry armor that Zhao Xin had already manifested, which were all provided according to their physical condition, which could give a huge defense.
The cavalry stopped near Miaojiazhuang, but did not take a step closer, because this was completely different from what the intelligence showed.
In the past, the location of Miaojiazhuang still existed, but the door of the village was wide open, but there was no trace of people.
On the contrary, not far away, a mile away, a tall building appeared.
That's right, in the Song Dynasty, there were few buildings, most of the houses were single-storey, only shops or green buildings were buildings, most of the houses were not very high, 10 meters was already considered a high-rise building, more than 20 meters were very few, not to mention that this fortress was 40 meters high.
More than 40 meters high, in the 21st century, are more than 13 stories high, in this era, even taller and more scary, and more importantly, this obviously looks like a fortress, there is even a moat around it.
This fort is located around two small rivers, and even, Miaojiazhuang has also excavated some manually.
Ordinary rivers, even in special places, will form a loop, this loop is also very irregular, the current one, and this so-called fortress is perfectly integrated with the boxy moat, must be man-made.
Could it be that their intelligence has been leaked, and the other party has long known about the Baozhou mutiny, and even knew that they would lead a team to come.
The leader of the cavalry is actually the Wang family's family members, who once entered the army 7 years ago, relying on the background of the Wang family and their own hard work, the highest has achieved the level of the team, and even the most elite forbidden army cavalry team.
This time, he was sent over, mainly to command the entire cavalry team, and he also had the right to decide because of his identity.
He thought that he was photographed first, and he would definitely go to the results of the battle, he knew very well that the terrible 800 cavalry, of which there were almost 500 people, were cavalrymen who had really gone through the war, and to varying degrees, participated in the war in the northwest and north, soldiers with battlefield experience and soldiers without battlefield experience, these are completely two concepts, but in the face of the situation in Miaojiazhuang, he still hesitated.
He had a great possibility and judged that the personnel of Miaojiazhuang should have hid in another fortress with a moat, but the fortress was too strange, so high, it didn't look like there was any defense, could it be just an empty city plan.
And empty, the four doors are open, and there is no one in sight of a person's Miaojiazhuang, which also makes him uncertain, the cavalry relies on high mobility and impact power to fight, every person with average physical strength, wielding an ordinary long knife, it is difficult to cut off a person's neck, but on a horse traveling at high speed, as long as the knife is placed in the right position, it can be done without much strength.
Because of this, he is familiar with the tactics of cavalry, it is impossible for him to give up the high speed of cavalry, he will not take the cavalry into Miaojiazhuang, or close to the thing that looks like a fortress, fortunately, Miaojiazhuang is a large area, they can control Miaojiazhuang itself, and they can also control the various traffic arteries around Miaojiazhuang.
Now, the cavalry captain chose the latter, he ordered the cavalry, divided into 4 teams, each team of about 200 people, in Miaojiazhuang in all directions to set up cards, they choose the traffic arteries, as long as the card owner is here, you can cut off 99% of the outward passage of Miaojiazhuang, and the place chosen, the terrain is flat, the view on all sides is excellent, and it is not easy to be sneak attacked.
In the fortress, Xue Yu, who had been waiting, sighed, it seems that there is no chance, he himself still thinks that when the cavalry team is close to the fortress, give the cavalry team a ruthless blow, this is one of the wrong choices that some officers who are not familiar with experience often make, but unfortunately the other party is not fooled at all.
It seems that the commander of this cavalry should be a man who is familiar with cavalry tactics, and in terms of personality, he is also quite cautious, and he is not greedy for merit.
If they approach rashly, as long as they enter the range of the longbow, the longbow will attack in time, and when the time comes, the long arrow that has leaped more than 200 meters is still a special armor-piercing arrow under the premise that it is not at all able to resist the cavalry's leather armor.
Xue Yu quickly got rid of the negative emotions in his heart, to his current level, battlefield experience, war consciousness are all there, the advantage of the fortress lies in the strong protective ability, this is what he personally tested, as long as the rebels dare to attack the city, then the loss will surprise them.
More than ten miles away, Wei Gui, who was marching slowly, received a report from the cavalry captain Wang Liuyi, describing in detail all their encounters, including the open gate of Miaojiazhuang and the fortress that suddenly appeared.
The only difference between the two is that the fortress seems to be completely unable to see where the gate is, but Miaojiazhuang is different, it looks empty, the gate is wide open, and there is no figure in sight.
Is it empty? Or is it a trick? There are too few conditions, and it is difficult for Wei Gui to make a judgment.
Wang Liuyi's approach is correct, they only have 800 people, which can be regarded as the vanguard of the entire Baozhou army, this unit is not suitable for exploration at all, in the end, the other party is using an empty city strategy, or is it a trick.
However, all the conspiracies and tricks, all the tricks and tricks, in the face of absolute power, are all illusory and vulnerable, Wei Gui, who is holding tens of thousands of troops, has little to do with one or two hours in the morning and one or two hours in the evening.
The cavalry team only needs to watch Miaojiazhuang and prevent Miaojiazhuang from running away, and the remaining siege tasks are what the infantry should do, and Wei Gui is full of confidence in the siege ability of the heavy infantry.
