8,000 soldiers in heavy armor, from four directions, black pressure towards the fortress, holding all kinds of engineering equipment in their hands, there are ladders, large shields, and even a few masked cars, it seems that the momentum is enough to overwhelm the enemy, but unfortunately, they do it to the air again.

The fortress is different from other fortifications in this era, and he can't wait to put all the defensive forces on the bright side, and he adheres to the principle of using the least number of people to achieve the best defensive effect, which is completely different from some defensive concepts of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Against the opponent of this era, Wei Gui's approach is not only correct, but also very targeted, his subordinates are trained, elite troops, and the other party, at best, is a two-month training regimental training.

Momentum is very illusory to say, but the real general understands that momentum exists, and there are too many aspects to consider when the two armies face each other, but it is always people who determine the final outcome of the war.

People's hearts are difficult to grasp, but they can be controlled, with a more powerful and majestic military appearance, more full of deterrent troops, naturally put pressure on the other side, once one side has a mentality, I can't win, no matter the training and equipment of both sides, on the same level, failure, is already a certain result.

Wei Gui used such a huge amount of manpower to use one of the most commonly used siege methods in siege warfare, to press.

This is a common trick used in siege, in the face of a strong city, sometimes, the more you think about it, the easier it is to lose more, this is a taboo in siege, only desperately, give the defender a huge pressure, in order to make the defender take care of one or the other, and finally, choose the wrong one, or even lose the city defense.

It's a pity that his action was wrong, because at this time, there were only 7 people on top of the fortress, including Sun Ji and Xue Yu.

Yes, the other 5 people, they are just farmers who have been trained for a month, perhaps, the training method of Miaojiazhuang is much higher than the training method commonly used in the Northern Song Dynasty, but they have not been to the battlefield, they have not been to the battlefield.

It's not the era of thermal weapons, a little training in shooting, you can pull into the battlefield, a recruit who has not received much training, relying on shooting skills, can also kill a few people on the battlefield.

In the era of cold weapons, morale and experience are the most important, morale is taken away, and the heart is broken, how can a new soldier fight a trained veteran.

Looking at the other five people, it can be seen that the pressure of 8,000 elite heavy infantry has been unfolded, and even if the entire regiment training sees this scene, maybe the next siege will not have to be fought, first of all, it is three points weaker, and no matter how much strength it has, it will not be used.

Seeing this, Sun Ji couldn't help but admire, the benefits of the fortress, the entire fortress, not only is it properly arranged, but it can't be seen below, as long as there is a person above, you can inform the enemy's movements, the 40-meter-high city wall gives enough time to react, even if the other party is close to the fortress, it's not too late to come out again, it's really time for the bayonets on both sides to see the red, and all the performances before are like giving the air to see.

Wei Gui waved the battle flag, 8,000 well-trained heavy armored soldiers of the forbidden army, flexibly acting according to the battle flag, pressing on the whole from time to time, adjusting and retreating from time to time, like an arm, but what made him strange was that the other party's fortress did not react at all, as if all his performances were shown to the monkey, and if he wanted to kill the chicken, he couldn't kill it.

He thought about rushing up, using tough attacks, oppressing the other party, and making the other party make mistakes, but this is a taboo in the army, confidants don't know the other, and even how much strength the other party has, and even which long arrow was before, he didn't figure out how it came to be, how dare he act rashly, in case, suffered huge losses, what should he do.

Wei Gui, a little unexpectedly, what he was facing was a defense that he had never encountered before, and the defense was extremely strong, this kind of defense he had never seen before, and there was no way to deal with it.

Physical strength is the biggest disadvantage of heavy armored infantry, 8000 people acting together, itself is a pressure process, but carrying heavy armor, and also carrying a full set of weapons and siege equipment, a little more sustained, physical consumption will increase, almost a stick of incense time, accompanied by the sound of military horns, the army retreats like a tide.

"There is a degree of relaxation!" Sun Ji slowly admired, the excellence of the command below, as well as the perfection of military appearance and military discipline, are rare in the forbidden army, but unfortunately, the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, especially in the army at the bottom, similar outstanding low-level officers abound, no wonder he wants to take risks, no family, no background support, even if the strength is heavenly, it must be coiled.

Even to the extent of Sun Ji, in the entire forbidden army, there are really not weaker than him in all aspects, only 7 people, no, as far as he knows, he can always pick out a dozen, Danmu is one of them, the reason why they have not achieved this glorious position, personal loyalty is one aspect, and the most important thing is that there is no foundation for them to get up.

Among the 7 imperial instruments, Sun Ji is the strongest, and the background is the weakest, but he is also from the Sanpin General, his uncle, who has achieved the Sanpin martial arts, is also the family's reliance, this identity, under the background of the Northern Song Dynasty Dynasty, the super product Jiangmen and the Zaifu family abound, which is not conspicuous at all, but Sanpin, at least the commander of a provincial military region in later generations, has a lot of power, and the background is also not small.

This Wei Gui, like Xu Quan, if he is born in the Wang family, or a slightly inferior family, at this moment, it is no longer an eight-grade inspection, not to mention the third- and fourth-grade officials, the fifth or sixth grade can always do it, but it's a pity.

No matter how sorry it is, the other party has already made a mess, he is the leader of the rebels, no one can save him, the most important thing is that the two armies are currently facing each other, and he is the enemy.

Back to the barracks rebels, it seemed that after a short rest, they came out again, it turned out that Wei Gui was not willing to perform in vain, and returned in vain, so he quickly adjusted his methods, turning the strong siege into spying, using a small force of 300-500 to spy on the defense of the entire fortress.

A battalion of forbidden troops, slowly approaching from the other end of the battle line, walked to the position where the longbow had been in range for archers, apparently stopped, cautiously probed a few steps forward, made an attacking posture, and looked very much like that, but without waiting to approach the moat, they left again, back and forth.

On the top of the fortress, Sun Ji couldn't help but smile, if it was replaced by any city, even if it was a fortified city like Baozhou or the Daimyo's Mansion, no matter whether the other party feinted or really attacked, there would be a reaction on the city wall.

The reaction time of the city wall is limited, really with such a herding sheep, the other party can change from a feint attack to a real attack at any time, cross the moat, put down the ladder, and climb to the top of the city, for a well-trained soldier, it may only take 60 breaths, or even less time, under a neglect, perhaps, the proud protection, will disappear, even if it is a small number of people who rush up, but this minority can accumulate a lot, there is such a nail, it will slowly expand.

The city's attack and defense are slowly opened in such patient temptation and counter-temptation.

It's a pity that Wei Gui hasn't realized that he has made a mistake, the 40-meter-high city defense is not as simple as the city, climbing, always more physically demanding than the flat ground, the 40-meter-high ladder is larger, and it also occupies more people, it can be said unceremoniously, hundreds of people, that is, two or three ladders, are not a short time, can climb up.

Because of this, except for a few observation posts, the others were placed behind, even if these heavy infantry entered the attack range.

The infantry armor is impenetrable, that is Wei Gui's understanding, whether it is a heavy arrow or an armor-piercing arrow, it can attack the infantry armor, but the effect is not as good as the previous long arrow on the leather armor, they have entered the range, and it is also the best range of the longbow team's infantry armor, but on the contrary, Sun Ji did not move.

For longbowmen, a burst of 60 breaths consumes not much physical strength, and may only consume one-thirty or forty of their physical strength, but for longbowmen, they can recover after sitting down and resting for 10 minutes.

But the other party tentatively thought that it was quite obvious, how could Sun Ji let the other party succeed, especially after knowing all aspects of the layout of the fortress, even if it was delayed now, let the other party erect the ladder under the fortress, and even start climbing, what about it.

The ventilation holes all over the fortress can be pushed off with the help of special tools, even if the infantry can climb to the top, then what, unlike ordinary city defense, the biggest reliance is the city wall, if the city wall is broken, then the biggest barrier will be lost.

However, in the fortress, from the highest part of the fortress to the bottom of the fortress, the layers of arrangement are all hidden killing machines, and even to a certain extent, all the upper layers of the entire fortress are withdrawn, which does not mean that the fortress can be captured, and the battle between the two sides can continue in a larger scope.

At this point, even Sun Ji only knows a few words, and what he really grasps comprehensively is only Zhao Xin, the city is just a sign, not the key, killing and injuring the enemy is the key, turning every inch of the place into a battlefield, especially the interior is more complicated.

The defenders can use flexible and changeable passages to divide and disintegrate each other, and then concentrate on attacking, which is the characteristic of urban warfare, and they will only feel the nightmare coming when they really get inside the fortress.

For the time being, there are some things that even Sun Ji didn't say, and Wei Gui didn't know it even more, he thought that his excellent feint attack not only did not attract any reaction from the top of the fortress, but it was like a monkey, talking to himself, and there was no audience at all.

When 2 hours later, divided into 5 teams of foot people, after returning in vain, Zhu Guilian was as black as black charcoal, not only did not produce any tentative effect, but he was tired enough to choke, this is still he carefully reduced the personnel, otherwise, really 8000 people performed together, today's defense is still necessary.
