Chapter 229: The First Encounter
Genius remembered for a second, "Love โ รท small? Say โ', provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the relationship between the large number of people, Wei Gui boldly entered Miaojiazhuang, and regarded Miaojiazhuang as his own camp, cleaned up some of the houses, and made certain transformations to form a huge camp.
On the top of the fortress, seeing that the enemy army really entered Miaojiazhuang, Sun Ji also had some regrets, with his strength, of course, he knew that Miaojiazhuang should be the best camping place, if they could bury some fierce fire oil and the like in Miaojiazhuang, maybe they would be able to hit the rebels hard.
For this, Zhao Xin neither supported nor opposed, the smell of fierce fire oil was too great, and the gunpowder was almost the same, but how much gunpowder was needed to eliminate Miaojiazhuang.
Planting some mines or gunpowder in Miaojiazhuang may be able to cause them great damage, that is in the amount of gunpowder, which envelops the entire Miaojiazhuang, and the gunpowder that cuts off the entire Miaojiazhuang in one fell swoop, that is not a small amount, especially under the premise of black powder as the main body, the demand is greater.
Of course, this is just an irresponsible idea, in Zhao Xin's opinion, after he arrives, Miaojiazhuang will be dangerous, if he leaves, there will be no need for the fortress to exist, let alone bury gunpowder.
Miaojiazhuang's house, this is ownerless, not ownerless, the villagers value their own assets, but it is not said that they will be blown up, here after the crisis, it will still become their residence, temporarily live in the fortress, it is also considered to be said in the past, if you live for a long time, it is not a good choice to pay off.
When there is no light to light up, the indoor light is low, a large number of candles are needed, and it is already a large amount of expenditure during the day, which is a large amount of expenditure, at least for ordinary people, the current candles are sent by Zhao Xin, and in the future, Zhao Xin cannot be sent endlessly, maintaining a low level, is the most correct choice.
For the sake of a month, in order to kill and injure some more enemies, to completely destroy Miaojiazhuang is a short-sighted approach.
As long as the people's hearts are still on his side, even if there are only 800 people and a total of more than 10,000 people, they can always pull the team up.
The price of gunpowder is not low, because the price of saltpeter in the system is higher, and when the war is approaching, he needs to manifest too many things, and occasionally takes the time, and the gunpowder that manifests is stored and has the launch of the future tree cannon.
At present, only 6 single-shell tree cannons have been made, and the difficulty is too high, but two are placed on the front to defend against attacks, and by then the ordinary scattering has almost 30 guns, and it is increasing at a rate of 10 per day.
It's not that the tree cannon is made faster, but when people arrive, under the division of labor and cooperation, the man-hours required for a single component will increase, but the total amount will be reduced.
At this time, the entire fortress has formed a huge factory, and all kinds of production that can be produced by hand are produced here to make up for the lack of a small amount.
Even ambushing gunpowder for a sneak attack, such an easier sneak attack method, didn't do it, not to mention, Shen They didn't take root to sneak attack, maybe Sun Ji and Xue Yu are good at sneak attacks, but what about the others, the team that is half-in group training, and even the basic training has not been completely completed, can't pull it out at all.
There was nothing to say all night, Wei Gui was quite careful to prevent someone from stealing the camp, in fact, the training of Miaojiazhuang was only a few months in total, and it was not bad to be able to train hundreds of longbowmen, this kind of army was not suitable for field warfare, in the entire Miaojiazhuang, the only one with the ability to sneak attack was Sun Ji, Sun Ji also mentioned that he wanted to fight, but he was rejected by Zhao Xin.
On the one hand, Sun Ji alone can influence a few people, and the combat effectiveness of the fortress is definitely much higher than Sun Ji thinks, and this can only be known if you really use it, and the defensive battle will make the opponent collapse. ใๆโๅปโณๅฐโ่ชชโณ็ถฒ Qu ใ
In this case, why let Sun Ji take risks, how to say, Sun Ji is also flesh and blood, in case of any mistakes, whether their longbow team should lead the archers.
Since Zhao Xin refused, Sun Ji was noncommittal about this, but to a certain extent, Sun Ji was neatly draped several times, and he may not dare to rush to the barracks, under the premise that the other party is a regular army.
His proposal is just to attack and disturb, how much threat can be generated, if the opponent is a cautious one, leave him alone, and he himself will withdraw.
The first battle, so calm passed, in the evening of the day, all the rebels have been in place, except for more than 7,000 people stationed in Miaojiazhuang, the other more than 6,000 people, divided into 4 parts, 1,000 cavalry scattered patrol on all sides, the others are divided into 3 parts, located in the three directions of the fortress, wrapping the fortress in it.
There were 10,000 people, and when Wei Gui reorganized the army and lined up in front of the fortress the next morning, there was a sense of majesty and majesty, especially the 8,000 or so hoplites, standing there together, that kind of deterrent made those longbowmen tremble.
They were new recruits, and before that, they were all ordinary peasants, and they had only been trained for more than a month, so how could they compare with these forbidden troops who had been trained for many years.
Sun Ji was so experienced, he keenly felt the emotions of the longbow team, and sighed, the recruit is indeed a recruit, even if there is such a strong defense as the fortress, it still can't offset the gap in experience, he began to give orders in a whisper, and soon, the middle and low-level officers ordered what he said.
The opponent is almost all infantry, which looks strong, but if the infantry wants to attack the city, they must first cross the moat, which is a checkpoint, and the second is the city wall, 40 meters high, they don't even have a ladder, which is not something that manpower can cross.
The only thing that can have a little impact on them is the bow and arrow, but the bow and arrow of the rebels is the biggest weakness, they didn't think about a large-scale siege war, they only considered a small scale before, and a fortified city like Miaojiazhuang was an omission in their consideration, so the archers only had 1,500 people, or after increasing their strength, they got so much.
Sun Ji hit the nail on the head, making everyone obviously relieved, in the opponent's camp, there are very few archers, at this time, it is not in the field encounter, but in the siege war, they stand on a solid fortress, the other party can not fly over to fight them.
As for the bow and arrow, it is not put in such an eye at all, the thick paper armor has been issued to everyone, and even many people are wearing it for attack and defense, in the real attack and defense based on actual combat, the use of real bows and arrows, according to the results of the test, even if it is a longbowman, at about 100 meters, it produces effective killing, at most it is piercing, if you want to hurt, stab the vital point, it is very difficult.
In addition to the longbow, there was a lot of other defensive equipment, which also gave them enough confidence that they could withstand their attacks here.
Under the command of the experienced Sun Ji, the longbowmen began to regain their confidence, and on the front line of defense, there was hardly a single person to be seen, not even the heavy infantry appeared, for the simple reason that there was not even a ladder, there was no masked chariot, how could it be possible to start an attack, maybe they were just bluffing, maybe they were just exerting some mental pressure, in short, this was not a formal attack.
In fact, it is exactly like this, this is Wang Xiansong's proposal, according to Wei Gui's idea, since the opposite side is in the hands of Sun Ji, such a small trick should not play any role, rather than wasting power here, it is better to make the engineering equipment better.
They brought up 13,000 troops, but the total number exceeded 20,000, and the rest were craftsmen and logisticians who were responsible for providing them with the necessary support.
In the camp, the remaining soldiers, looking at the craftsmen, are working, connecting some ladders, and making new ladders, this fortress is too high, this is what they did not expect, and even from the top of the fortress, there is not a trace of gaps and joints, how did they get it, is that fortress made of stone, or is it made of something?
The huge phalanx began to move forward neatly, and the stride of the same thought seemed to have a slight vibration, which was a kind of momentum power, although it was said that with the previous relief, the personnel above were a little better, and they still clenched the arrow in their hands.
Sun Ji, Xue Yu, Qu Yang and other experienced people hurriedly stepped forward to explain that the 20 family members had also received similar training, and they also began to briefly explain their experiences, but the longbow team was still a little confused about the time for a cup of tea.
On the battlefield, the opportunity is fleeting, if this is a face-to-face encounter, I am afraid that their team training will have been lost a long time ago, not to mention the time of a cup of tea, even if it is negligence even a third, or even a quarter of the time, it will allow the opponent to seize the opportunity and hit with one blow.
It's a pity that they are standing on the top of the fortress above, because of the obstruction of various objects, they can't see it below, in fact, what will Wei Gui below, what will the people above be like, he can only dispatch the right oppression based on experience, and when the pressure reaches 100 meters in front of the moat, he stopped, but the deterrent power brought by the phalanx has not decreased at all.
This is a safe distance for Wei Gui, in fact, it is really not, the straight-line distance from here and the fortress is about 130 meters, which is the most suitable and lethal distance for longbowmen.
Looking at the soldiers who had all entered the firing range, Sun Ji finally gave up, because the mentality of the longbow team was unstable, even if it was archery, it could not reach a salvo, and the longbow team without a salvo would only have sporadic lethality, and most of the opponents were wearing heavy armor, so there were not many casualties at all.
