The biggest difference between the regular army and the regimental training, that is, on the military formation, it seems that there are 2,000 heavy armored infantry, and their distribution is very orderly, layer by layer, and in key parts, there is also the cover of big shields and siege equipment, that is to say, all the exposed places are the strongest foot armor.

After they had finished arranging, they walked slowly towards the fortress, slowly, without the slightest hesitation.

Looking like a giant beast, like a mountain, pressing over the military formation, huge and neat, giving a lot of pressure on this side, the soldiers above were slightly chaotic.

Itself, I don't plan to mention it, but now it seems that the mentality of these regimental training is overestimated, Sun Ji tilted his head and thought, after all, farmers are farmers, and after only a few days of training, they still can't meet the standards of qualified soldiers.

He sighed and said, "Don't mess around! ”

With a circumference of only 300 meters, from this archery platform to each position, it will not exceed 80 meters, and Sun Ji's voice is quite loud and can reach everyone's ears

"They seem to be crowded, but there are only dozens of ladders, and there are no ladders, how can they climb up!"

This is a big truth, all the fortresses, smooth and there is no place to climb, 40 meters high, I am afraid that most of the trees have to be done, such a place, there is no ladder, how to climb.

The fortress is the same as other city defenses, there is a gate, and the gate is also a weak link, but the fortress never has to assume a civil role, that is to say, the gate is used in peacetime, convenient access and logistics materials, once the war is together, the gate is closed, and even the broken dragon stone has long been put down.

Broken Dragon Stone, is a huge rock, 5 feet thick huge rock, is a whole piece of collected from the mountain, more than 30 square meters of horizontal surface, the total weight of more than 150 tons, such a big rock, dead protection of the doorway, plus several layers of iron doors, can be more terrible than ordinary city wall protection, completely a whole stone, the defense strength is huge, attack there, it is simply with the stone.

The gate is the least worried, people can't get out, but when everyone has enough food, the front line can still be rotated.

Sun Ji's words, so that the front-line soldiers, gradually calm, this is actually a general, a veteran's role, completely the new soldiers' military formation, it is easy to bomb the camp or other problems on the first battle formation, if equipped with some veterans as grassroots officers, it can be well avoided this, they will remind these recruits, small tips on the battlefield, and with practical actions, lead the recruits, slowly adapt to the changes on the battlefield.

If it is replaced by an ordinary regimental exercise, such a rhetoric is useless, but now, what the regimental training is wearing is the same as that worn by the soldiers below, and the step armor on the body gives them confidence, but if they rely on bows and arrows, they are protected to the extreme, and they have an extra layer of masks than the underground soldiers, with a mask for eye protection, and the places where they may be injured have been thought of.

It was these, coupled with Sun Ji's calmness, that made everyone calm down, looking at the military array below, some croppers were still thinking, let's see how they are when the time comes, maybe they will be able to make great achievements with the first war.

The strength of the heavy armor infantry is mostly in field battles and frontal battles, if the city is attacked, the heavy armor can only guard against arrows, even if it rushes under the city wall, looking at the city wall of more than 40 meters, what can he do, gnaw with his teeth, smash it with a weapon, this is a hard stone, the hammer may not be able to smash out a crack, this is something that has been tried before.

The pressure of the army brings deterrence, the Yunyi Army is among the border troops, it can no longer be regarded as a very poor border army, to a certain extent, it is still a very strong kind, in addition to the equipment is not as good as the forbidden army, there may be an average height that is not as good, but the combat training, including combat experience, is above the forbidden army, which is why after he changed the equipment of the forbidden army, he immediately felt completely different fundamental reasons.

Wei Gui also knew that the ladder was the most critical, without a very high ladder, it was impossible for him to climb the other party's city, he took a few days to make the ladder, a total of 70 bodies, all of which were about 40 meters, such a ladder, visually it is possible to catch the opponent's city, but compared to the ordinary ladder, it is too heavy, about five times the usual, this is a new situation that has never been encountered,

Attacking and defending the city, archers are the key, the opponent's archers have not shown up, but they have this huge power, they must consume part of the opponent's archers, and when the consumption is almost over, then the decisive battle will be carried out, which is also the choice he must make.

Besieging the city on all sides, there are some differences with the siege of the art of war, but in Wei Gui's view, it is easy to mobilize, his 1300 archers are always concerned about the situation on the battlefield, once the opponent's archers are mobilized, he will immediately put in it and break through from another aspect.

This is also the only point he is confident in, no matter how strong it is, the opponent only has 800 regiments to train, even if the next batch of regular troops is hidden, the number will not be large, but they can be evenly distributed, in each direction, arrange 2000 heavy infantry, really encounter a special situation, and can even continue to invest, reaching more than 3000 people, this is an advantage, and the only one can be used.

Facing the fortress, this strong defense that has never appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, Wei Gui's choice cannot be said to be wrong, but he did not grasp the point, but he did not know that the archer was in the center, from the edge of each city wall, not more than 25 meters, that is to say, he attacked 4 sides, and would not let him be tired, at most, just turn his body, as long as the archer dares to move, then the archer who enters the range of the longbow will become the first target.

1500 archers, 6 of them have been killed, what about this time, how much will it be? Compared to the heavy infantry hiding in the shell of the turtle, even the slightest flaw will not be exposed, the archer is simply a natural target, once the archer is suppressed or hit hard, the longbowman, can attack unscrupulously, and even no longer use ordinary longbows, but choose heavy arrows and armor-piercing arrows, even if their overall damage to heavy armor is not high, but the accumulation is very terrifying.

The heavy infantry is approaching gradually, and those in front are better to say, from the generals who are concentrated in each family, they themselves are soldiers at the level of low-level officers, but behind, those who have just put on heavy armor Yunyi Army and border army, they are slightly worse, their speed is not fast, compared with the forbidden army, they may not be much different in strength, height is a big problem, and it is unbalanced, you must take care of the poorer, fortunately, the infantry is not afraid of bows and arrows.

The heavy infantry approached about 100 meters of the city, and began to erect large shields, which were not prepared for them, but for the archers in the rear, after the previous attack, the archers held the bow in one hand, and raised the round shield in the other hand, and moved forward quickly, they were ready to take advantage of the opportunity of heavy armor protection, enter the range, and then wait for the opportunity.

Sun Ji was amused for a while, and the thin wooden round shield might be able to resist the invasion of ordinary bows and arrows, but it was not good for the heavy arrows brought by the longbow.

But the other party entered the range at this time, even if there are only 200 archers dispatched now, but this opportunity cannot be seized.

With a wave of his hand, he said a few statistics, and with the eye of a marksman, coupled with his knowledge of the longbow team, the data he said just bypassed the large shield of the heavy infantry and enveloped the archers on the flanks a little behind.

Unlike the heavy infantry in front, the archers in the rear have a more stable mentality, and from beginning to end, they have not suffered substantial damage, not even a few arrows have fallen, and they have not even seen the opponent's military appearance, what they need to do is to shoot arrows according to the training outline.

When Sun Ji's reported data, as well as tactical methods, rang in their ears, almost subconsciously, they began to shoot.

"Here we go again!" At this time, the sound of the long arrow has been deeply remembered in the ears of every archer, this is the experience of hundreds of lives in exchange, when they move forward, what they are most afraid of is this, obviously, the other party is very patient, until this moment, it does not appear, and it appears suddenly.

"Projectile!" Wei Gui also paid attention to the battle situation, there were not many defenders exposed on the fortress, but all of them were infantry, there was no archer, defending the city and attacking the city, the bow and arrow were the top, before the archers defending the city were completely dismantled, any rash attack must bear a huge blow.

He sent the archers up, not to draw the archers out, but now, when they were drawn, they were projectiles.

Projectile is also an important aspect of archer shooting, the use of projectile, can increase the range, but make the target more unstable, but obviously, the opponent seems to have mastered the method of projectile, it seems to use a range attack, instead of a single aim attack uncertainty.

The heavy infantry guarding the archers has long been explained, once the city counterattacks, on the one hand, part of the rush forward, in the process of the opponent's archers attacking, use wooden planks on the moat, build a passage, and rush into the bottom of the city defense by the way, build a ladder, on the other hand, the big shield will be a good escort for the archers.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the accuracy of the longbowmen, and at the same time underestimated the rate of fire of the longbows, and when the first wave of 200 longbows landed, only 12 large shields were opened, and only one of the archers' flanks was protected.

Wearing leather armor and holding a round shield, the archers are faced with range attacks in all directions and nowhere to dodge, all they can do is to use the round shield to protect their heads and faces, but the special angle of the projectile, some bows and arrows can even coincidentally bypass the head and face, and directly attack the back, more than 1.5 meters long arrows, after penetrating the chest and abdomen, it is a fatal wound, at least a dozen, nailed to the ground by long arrows, even if they don't die, it's almost the same.
