When the heavy infantry quickly charged towards Baozhoucheng, the longbowmen began to cover the entire Baozhoucheng perimeter defense, providing the necessary firepower for the besieging side, so that the rebels, who were already in a blindfolded situation due to the sudden collapse of the city wall, could not resist.

This time, in the longbow, in addition to eighty or ninety percent of ordinary bows and arrows, there were also one or two percent of heavy arrows and armor-piercing arrows.

The rain of arrows formed by these, nothing can resist such an attack, even if it is a step armor, it is only to resist this attack, and nothing else can be done, those who are not wearing step armor, or those who are just wearing light armor, are covered by the rain of arrows.

The huge losses of the rebels in Miaojiazhuang directly put him in a disadvantageous situation when defending the city, Wei Gui thought that he would encounter the attack of the arrow rain, he was more or less lucky, that is, this longbow may not appear in Baozhou City, even if it will appear, it will not be too much but the terrible number of 2000, which directly made his biggest idea offset, compared to the density of the short bow three or even five times, plus thousands of short archers, in history, the most terrible arrow rain cover appeared.

The most important thing is that under the cover of the rain of arrows, except for the heavy infantry, the others are either directly shot to death, or can only hide in the bunker or the multi-arrow tower, shivering, and feeling a little panicked.

I have to mention those armor-piercing arrows and heavy arrows, even if they are relatively small in number because of their high cost, but they are powerful enough, such as a step armor, in the rain of arrows, is struggling towards the direction of the gap, but I didn't expect that an armor-piercing arrow is coming towards his chest.

He didn't care, in the rain of countless arrows, the unique chirp and appearance of the armor-piercing arrow was not too eye-catching, he still thought it was an ordinary arrow, and continued to move forward without care, but for him, there was no then.

The data of the armor-piercing arrow experiment is that at a distance of 200 steps, it can penetrate the ordinary infantry armor, because the infantry armor cannot penetrate because of the defense and blocking effect, and it is only about 2 inches at most.

This soldier was a little unlucky, right in the heart, the powerful armor-piercing arrow, collided with the iron plate, under the sharp armor-piercing arrow, there was no room for reaction at all, and with a whoosh, it was penetrated.

Without even the slightest resistance or screaming, the heavy infantry was directly killed.

2,000 longbowmen, 60 breaths, can shoot 24,000 arrows, of which almost three or four thousand armor-piercing arrows and heavy arrows, but compared with such a huge city defense of Baozhou City, it is still a minority, similar to this heavy infantry so unlucky, that is, such a one, in fact, the casualties are limited, to the young and strong and light infantry, the losses are huge.

The dense rain of arrows caused all the soldiers who were unprotected or had no cover to be devastated, and the army that had just reacted and was ordered by Wei Gui to go to those gaps to resist was also struggling in the rain of arrows.

They can only defend passively, only 500 archers, without the support of the Wang family, their number of archers has directly decreased, after all, the original foundation of the rebels, that is, the Yunyi Army and the border army, the number of archers itself is not much, plus many sacrifices, it is enough to be able to make up 500.

500 of them, or short archers, compared to the thousands of short archers and longbowmen below, the difference is too great, they almost dare not fight back, because the result of the counterattack is that they will be taken away in an instant.

At this time, the heavy infantry, which could advance with all its strength because there was no block, was already approaching the gap.

Wei Gui sent some heavy infantry into those gaps, but because of the obstruction of the rain of arrows, it was a little slower, and at this time it was only four or five times when he arrived at the position of the gap, that is to say, two or three hundred people in each gap, where the gap was, it was only a thin layer.

Wei Gui knew very well that he had already failed, not to mention, the number of heavy infantry was only a quarter of the besiegers, and the level of training was not the same, from defending the city to field warfare, or a field battle that was unprepared and hastily dealt with, the final result was predictable by anyone.

After the attack and defense of about a stick of incense at the gap, the rebels were defeated, and they began to move backwards, and the siege of Baozhou ended, because of the huge gap, it was no longer able to resist the entry of the forbidden army, and when the number of forbidden troops entering Baozhou City reached a certain level, Baozhou could not be saved.

Wei Gui knew that he could not be spared, and ordered his subordinates to surrender under the premise that they could not resist, and then killed themselves in the city, what about others, he didn't know, he had to die, if he didn't die, the conditions promised by the Wang family might not be honored, and even the entire family was in danger.

In exchange for successfully completing the task and retiring, he had the strength and conditions to threaten the Wang family and ensure that they met the conditions, but now, he had no choice, he just reserved a little thing in Baozhou, handed it over to his cronies' families, and completed it before he was trapped in Baozhou City.

They are rebels, themselves are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the court enters Baozhou, Yu first make arrangements, in the form of refugees, how many people can find out, in fact, the Wang family is like this, his arrangement, is also easy to complete.

But how much of a role this arrangement can play, and what the final result is, he doesn't know, he can only die.

The rebels, who were already at a disadvantage and didn't know how to be a good rebel, after the leader Wei Gui killed himself, was actually scattered, and under the leadership of middle and low-level officers, they surrendered to the besieging side one after another, and from the beginning of occupying the city wall, in less than half an hour, Baozhou City was taken.

The final outcome of the Baozhou mutiny was full of drama, and the siege battle, which seemed to take three months and five months, ended in just one day, and the attackers took the whole of Baozhou with less than 150 casualties, killing 2,000 enemies and taking nearly 7,000 prisoners.

This result, can be said to be brilliant, the cost is huge, the entire Baozhou, almost dilapidated, the three city walls were greatly damaged, the internal buildings were also demolished in large quantities, countless people died in Baozhou City, this is Baozhou history, one of the most terrible disasters, I am afraid that even a few decades ago, when the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Liao State captured the entire northern Northern Song Dynasty, not so tragic.

When the archers began to shoot and the heavy infantry began to approach, Han Qi already knew that after this battle was taken, the archers' side did not have an advantage at all, and it changed from a defensive battle to a field battle, what else could he resist stubbornly, the only thing he was interested in was what was inside this coffin and why it was so powerful.

If this thing is ripe, and even if Western Xia and Liao can get it, the entire Northern Song Dynasty is in danger.

The core of siege warfare is how to take the city wall and enter the city.

Genius ideas, ghost ideas, all kinds of blinding and being blinded, all for the sake of quickly taking down the city wall.

If you want to take down this city wall, the hard work required to ask for it is difficult for ordinary people to influence, just in this city gate, how much competition has arisen, and even how many dry bones have finally died here.

Because looking for an opportunity to break the city, how many people, how many lives, and how much ingenuity are all spent here, up to now, the Northern Song Dynasty army, which has been very mature, does not have a reasonable way to quickly take the city wall.

This inherent cognition was broken by the Baozhou Mutiny this time, a city wall that can be called a strong defense, it was broken so easily, there were some difficulties in the middle, and the tunnel was also dug, but it was only excavated near the city wall, which was not difficult, and it was not here to be prepared, at least there was no problem outside the city, it was just a matter of manpower, what destroyed the city wall.

He even went to ask Sun Ji why there was such a thing, and whether this thing had any impact on the fortress.

In Baozhou, he not only saw the combination of longbow and fortress, the strongest city defense, but also saw the most terrible siege weapon, whether the spear was more powerful, or the shield was stronger, if the spear was stronger, what use did they want this shield.

The advent of gunpowder weapons and thermal weapons began to change the rhythm of siege more and more, saying that it had no impact was a lie, and later generations could not withstand large-scale gunpowder and reinforced concrete.

However, with the gunpowder of this era, even if the granularization method and purification are used, it is enough to face the ordinary city wall.

The city walls of the feudal period, especially the city walls of China, they are more glutinous rice syrup, some conditions are not enough, just simply use lime, lime has adhesive effect, but this effect is not strong, the city wall is more dependent on its own gravity to be stable, their mechanics themselves are not good, reluctantly built, as long as a little strength, destroy the balance, you can destroy the city wall.

This is also the fundamental reason why the gunpowder contained in the coffin can destroy the city wall, otherwise, if the city wall is all cement and reinforced concrete structure, how can it be destroyed so easily.

Sun Ji also knew what the purpose of Han Qi's inquiry was, because when he came with gunpowder, Zhao Xin had already made it clear.

Of course, Zhao Xin knows the power of gunpowder, the advent of the gunpowder era, for the original cold weapon era, is a huge subversion, from this era, a lot of tactics and tactics, it has become completely different, the previous weapons can not change everything, but with the gradual popularization of thermal weapons, there is not, whether the performance is outstanding, has become the key to determine the victory or defeat of both sides, but it is the human aspect, it has become unimportant.

Soldiers have changed from subjects to insignificant individuals, and for high-ranking generals, battles have really become data in the game.

Fortunately, the time is still early, just a gunpowder siege, not to mention, for the fortress, as long as it is not the appearance of heavy artillery such as siege heavy artillery, a little explosives, for the fortress, there is no effect.
