Even if Wei Gui doesn't withdraw his troops, in this situation, he can't fight anymore, in 1 minute, the other party tilted an unimaginable rain of arrows, even if Wei Gui didn't believe it, there were so many people on such a small fortress, not to mention 3500 people, at least it was almost the same as them, he couldn't have thought that this was a longbow, a longbow with at least 8 arrows a minute.

The archers, the sensitivity to arrows, is far above other weapons, when they heard the sound of the rain of arrows, they also made evasions, but unfortunately their camp is a little dense, there are foot armor in front, and the back is the logistics and chaotic team, so that they did not leave the area, looking at the dense arrow rain in the sky, what they can do is to dodge as much as possible, and strive to be able to dodge.

If it's a short bow, it's an accurate shot, a little forward or backward, and you can fire more of these attacks, but this is a longbow covering attack, which requires a rain of arrows in each area, to a similar degree, in this case, as long as it is within the range covered by the long arrow, the attacks they encounter are all figured out.

This is not as good as they meant, this is not one, it is an average of 8 arrows, the speed of the longbowmen is different, plus the short archers do not move on a large scale, all the arrows, or rush to this side, in this case, the final result is, the longbowmen in just 60 breaths, out of 3500 arrows, the hit rate is not high, it is better to shoot accurately, 3500 arrows are still hit by one-tenth, about 350 arrows, which directly took the lives of 220 people, and the remaining more than 100 people were injured.

In one minute, a team of 500 people took away more than 300 people, and those who were directly killed were down, and the injured were even more pitiful.

In the era of cold weapons, there was no alcohol, no health care, and no qualified medical care system, and among more than 100 people, no more than 30 people could survive, that is, in the time of rest, the longbowmen caused 300 casualties, and at this moment, they did not even touch the edge.

Zhu Gui had no other way, he could only Mingjin to withdraw the troops, he couldn't do it if he didn't Mingjin, the casualties of hundreds of people were only a few tenths of the entire army, but the blow to morale was huge, they couldn't even see each other, and they didn't even know where the opponent's arrows came from, so they hurriedly withdrew.

Fortunately, there is Miaojiazhuang, and they have a relatively fixed camp, so under this premise, there is no need to worry about the opponent attacking.

Zhao Xin and Sun Ji won't attack, just kidding, this is just a militia, how long has it been since it was formed, and it is already very amazing to be able to have the current performance.

They are longbowmen, and they are also the lagging and most balanced offensive and defensive armies in Europe, but they formed an army too late, and they were trained to attack, at most designed to a little evasion.

To put it bluntly, the focus of the training will only be one point, open the bow and shoot arrows, except for this point, there is nothing else, under this premise, even if Zhao Xin has the confidence to let the longbowmen fight in the field, Sun Ji will not order the archers to go out, you know, the spiritual deterrence brought by the pressure of the army is very terrifying, especially the recruits.

Look at those lying behind the women's wall, trembling and training, you can see how much impact the Shura field of this battlefield has had on them.

Even on the castle tower more than 40 meters high, even if it has the protection of a wide moat, and wears the protective device that has a huge effect on all aspects of defense, those strong men who have even experienced a certain amount of professional training know that this order is correct.

They are still trembling, the reason why the longbowmen have not collapsed is not because the longbowmen are well trained, their mental quality is much higher than others, the reason why they are so neat is that they can't see it.

That's right, they can't see the other side's military formation, can't see the current environment, and can't even see the results of the battle, what they can do is to keep archery, turning a military action into a simple bow and arrow, which in a sense, is a genius idea, a genius idea to pull recruits into the battlefield, avoiding many problems of recruits going into battle, so that recruits can quickly integrate into the battlefield atmosphere in several wars.

You know, this is the most difficult for generals, recruits are often the highest mortality rate, especially the first line of heavy soldiers, the mortality rate of the first line is higher, unless it is some specific battlefield, there will not be any general, will send veterans to the battlefield, that is equivalent to helpless attrition.

In the battle on the front line, especially at the beginning of the battle, the attrition of both sides is tempted, and the veterans may be on the front line, and the role they can play is greater than that of the recruits, but the large and limited, overlapping and narrow battlefields limit the play of the veterans, and it is better to sacrifice the recruits than to sacrifice the veterans.

In the era of cold weapons, death camps and the like emerge in endlessly, that is, one point, to send death, only those who are truly guilty of capital crimes can regard death as home, and can really survive from several mortal endings, what about giving him grace, and what about forgiving their capital crimes, but there are not many such people, one death shock, survived, what about two, three or four times? In the real 10 death charges, those who can still survive are not soldiers, they are the king of soldiers, even at the level of commanders and generals, they need to face up to their existence.

But now, the brutal combat has become a simple drawing of the bow and arrows, anyone who has the strength and has been trained several times can do it, which is much stronger than training a qualified archer, the archer is more accurate, as well as the judgment and attack power under specific conditions, without the latter, it is not perfect, and it cannot be called an elite archer.

This is also the fundamental reason why it is not easy to train shooters, many big battles are unsustainable because of a large number of losses of shooters, and some have not even been repeated for two or three years.

The combat method of the longbowmen, the individual power, into the overall strength, do not need to pursue the sports goal, just the angle, strength and fixed target, which almost reduces the difficulty of the archer by more than 80%, which is also the fundamental reason why the longbowmen of Miaojiazhuang became an army in less than 2 months, in terms of attack power, they are not lower than, or even exceed the elite marksman.

Sun Ji knew very well that if it was an indiscriminate shooting duel, the longbowmen would still lose, and they could only use it in a specific location, such as the archery platform here, and there must be an elite commander, otherwise, they would not be able to play their role.

This is worthy of his shining point, attacking the strong and defending the weak, completely avoiding the weakness, and finally showing that it is attacking the strong, just like what is shown now.

Before, when Zhao Xin took out the combination of the fortress and the longbow, Sun Ji was very optimistic, it was only in theory, without actual consideration, the theory is always so beautiful, just like Zhao Kuo's paper talk.

But now, in the face of the siege of tens of thousands of people, or under the siege of the strength of the regular army, the combination of the longbow and the fortress still shows the light, which cannot be ignored, perhaps, the combination of the fortress and the longbow can become a key to open the dilemma in the northwest.

At this moment, Sun Ji didn't care about the results of the longbow, and the 3,500 long arrows under the covering attack could deal less damage against the short archers who were only wearing leather armor.

He is more concerned about the cost of this fortress, as long as his cost is not higher than 5 times that of the stockade, plus the archers, the imperial court may not be able to spread the fortress in the northwest, but it can arrange a part, with these hard fulcrums, it should be able to play a vital role in the defense of the west.

It seems that the fortress is 3 times higher than the ordinary city wall, and the cost will definitely be high, the fortress is embodied, without the previous construction process, Sun Ji can't judge it, but the fortress also has a key point, then the fortress is small.

The defense of large cities is strong, the layout is easy, the walls of small cities are low and the defense is weak, this is the difference between strength and weakness in a general sense, but the fortress has changed this kind, strong and weak are relative, even if it is a small city, careful arrangement, it can still be very strong, the fortress is like this, this is one of its biggest characteristics.

Because it is small, it is solid, because it is small, so the investment is less, 60 meters and 90 meters, the circumference is only 300 meters, that is, one-fifth of Nanle County, and the cost of other places is higher, and the thickness is better, at best, it is five or six times higher than that of Nanle County, and when converted, it is about the same as the cost of Nanle County, that is, about 3000 guan, but I don't know the cost of cement.

Sun Ji actually just guessed, so he gave the cost of the fortress out, Zhao Xin's embodiment is 130% of the total cost, after subtracting this, it is about 2500-2900 yuan, depending on the transportation cost.

However, in the future, the transportation may only be cement, the use of cement in it is not much, and it is not a reinforced concrete structure, the outer layer of protection is enough, and the inner layer can be constructed with wooden planks or part of the stone slabs, so that you can save a lot of cost, bricks and fools, these things, all over the place, further reduce the freight.

Even further cost savings, the area of the fortress can be reduced, from the standard of 60 times 90 to the standard of 40 times 60, the cost is immediately reduced by one-third, and the soldiers defending the city are also reduced, but the combat effectiveness of the fortress itself has not been reduced much, and it is not easy for tens of thousands of people to take it.

An initial battle, just like this, the end of the tiger, after Ming Jin withdrew the troops, the battlefield, a mess, even Wei Gui didn't have time to clean up the body, he didn't have time to retreat to the camp, he couldn't figure it out, why did he lose, he lost so badly, why did a team training that only 2 months of training play such a terrible role?
