Chapter 224: Mutual Detection
Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
At the beginning, the news that the troops had been dispatched, Sun Ji was expected, what could Baozhou make Wei Gui, a potential rookie in the military, rebel desperately, attack Miaojiazhuang, and take Zhao Xin, which was his real purpose, and it was also the mastermind behind the scenes who did not hesitate to do it.
But in such a hurry, Sun Ji couldn't help but look down on Wei Gui, this Wei Gui really didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, not to mention the help of the fortress, the rebels' siege was destined to be impossible to work easily.
Even if there is no fortress, so that the soldiers who have just rebelled are sent over without any integration, he dares to attack with regimental training and give the other party a dismount.
Longbowmen can produce a lot of damage when the wind is downwind, maybe, a cup of tea time, can cause thousands of casualties, for the army that has not formed a formation, armored, such damage is very terrible, how many people are in the Yunyi army, 3 percent casualties, it is enough to make the entire army disperse.
But the next news, one after another, from the first 1,000 people out of the city, to the back 2,000, 3,000, more and more numbers, Sun Ji's face has always been relaxed, and he couldn't help but be dignified, and even the last 10,000 came out.
Is this a joke, the army of Baozhou City, combined, is seven or eight thousand, more than 10,000 people, it is difficult to force a strong man.
This must be noted, there are so many strong men in Baozhou, but Wei Gui wants to launch a rebellion among the soldiers, and he must stimulate the wildness and madness of the soldiers, which is also the fundamental reason why the movement in Baozhou is so big, it can be said that in Baozhou City, he is unpopular, pulling so many strong men, I don't know how many people will die.
But when more detailed information came back, Sun Ji was even more surprised, but so many people went out of the city, and they just fell, and they were just pulling Zhuang Ding, but in the march, they were all armored.
This is a taboo on the march, marching in full armor, the physical consumption of soldiers is huge, the era of cold weapons, why does it appear, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the reason is that most of the physical strength is consumed.
Unlike the era of hot weapons, in the era of cold weapons, the combat capability of the army depends entirely on physical strength, long-distance attack, and the final victory in the battle is either the absolute superiority in the region or the unpreparedness of the attack.
Under the premise that the strength is evenly matched, or the number is not much different, this is death, not to mention that the enemy is outnumbered, so in the era of cold weapons, the infantry cannot carry out guerrilla warfare at all, at most it is a ranger attack to disturb and sabotage the attack.
A set of forbidden army heavy armor, adding up to fifty or sixty kilograms, wearing it for a long run, it is already good to be able to walk half the distance in a day, and when you arrive at the place, your physical strength should not be exhausted.
This has the advantage of not being afraid of a halfway raid, and the all-armored infantry can quickly launch a sneak attack at any time.
Those powerful armies, especially those that rely on equipment, are attacked halfway, and eventually the whole army is annihilated, abound, European medieval knights, that is, the so-called heavy cavalry, when they are not fighting, they need another horse to support the equipment, otherwise, without the impact force, on the battlefield, there is no way to have an effect.
It is not a long-distance march, Baozhou is 30 miles away from Miaojiazhuang, the quality of the forbidden army in this era, such a distance is not enough to exhaust their physical strength, as long as they arrive at Miaojiazhuang and rest for a while, they can recover their physical strength, which can be put aside for the time being, but almost most of them are heavy infantry, what is going on.
More than 10,000 people, seven or eight thousand heavy armored infantry, this ratio, even Sun Ji's face changed greatly.
This information, whether it is true or not, this is the focus of everyone's consideration, Qu Yang looked at Sun Ji and the others, pondered for a while, and said, "I'll go and see!" ”
Qu Yang's statement, Sun Ji did not stop it, at this time, there must be a more accurate judgment, these scouts, do not have much experience, maybe they were deceived by the other party's arrangement, they must rely on professionals like Qu Yang.
At a distance of 30 miles, if the army moves forward, it will take at least 2 hours, and the other party is still fully armored, so it is even more impossible to go too fast, it may drag on to 3 hours, and the time is still in time.
Qu Yang hurried away, and after about half an hour, he came back, and after coming back, his face was solemn.
Seeing Qu Yang's expression, Sun Ji's face sank, and sure enough, after listening to the investigation results of Qu Yang's report, he stopped talking, at this moment, in addition to shock, he was still shocked.
The first piece of information is clear and correct, and the data given by Qu Yang is more accurate, there are 10,000 people, vast, if it is not a professional soldier, or even in terms of reconnaissance, if there is special experience and experience, it is impossible to determine how many people there are, and it is good to be able to judge about 10,000 people.
But what kind of person is Qu Yang, the golden gun is on duty, he has rich experience in the army, and even he is quite proficient in a series of such as reconnaissance and lurking, the other party has not divided the troops, it is divided into three parts at most, very close to each other, advancing layer by layer, he naturally analyzed it from the layout and scope, the total number is about 13,000 people, and the number of heavy infantry is more than 8,000 and nearly 9,000.
Why is there really more than 8,000 heavy armored infantry, this is a question that Sun Ji and others are puzzled by, the scouts in front may make mistakes, but Qu Yang does not accept this old night, his eyes are very accurate, the number and equipment, will definitely not make mistakes.
You know, the infantry armor is the standard configuration of the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, but not every soldier of the forbidden army will wear the infantry armor, in the Yunyi Army, even if it is equipped with more infantry armor, among the 2500 people, there are at most 1000 infantry armor, some focus on cavalry and archers, the number of infantry armor will be further reduced.
8,000 heavy armored infantry, not to mention the number, let's just say that these infantry armor are difficult to get, this is not the power of a county, or a state, which requires a higher level of strength and influence.
Sun Ji keenly thought that it should be Wang Deyong, and only Wang Deyong can mobilize so much forbidden army equipment, and the reason is simpler, with Wang Deyong's background, affecting some equipment, at a specific time, staying in Baozhou, that is definitely a matter of ignorance.
As for the extra thousands of soldiers, it will be even easier to do, Zhao Xin has analyzed before, the other party wants to increase the strength of the Baozhou mutiny, as long as Wei Gui and the Yunyi army are in front, they can support at a specific time.
At that time, Sun Ji was still a little unconvinced, but now that the facts are in front of him, even thousands of people have been mobilized, let alone thousands of people have been brought over.
Jiangmen's family, Sun Ji knows very well that the combat effectiveness is far above the ordinary forbidden army, different from the 20 families of the Miao family, but the training time is a little longer, the nutrition is better, the Jiangmen can have their complete set of training methods, and even to a certain extent, they will let the family enter the army, after experiencing the war, and even sometimes, when they are in the team, they will leave.
Thousands of low-level officers, even soldiers with the strength of the team, have very strong field combat capabilities and siege capabilities.
If, they are still in Miaojiazhuang, even if they are fully prepared, they can't resist, let alone Miaojiazhuang, under the premise of only 800 people defending, in the city defense of the Northern Song Dynasty, no one can withstand the attack of the sophisticated 8000 hoplites, when thousands of hoplites, swarming, and perfect siege equipment, if you want to take the city, it is not ordinary.
Fortunately, they have Zhao Xin's immortal arts, and this fortress, coupled with the outside, the wide moat, will definitely become a nightmare.
There is no need to investigate anymore, they just need to return all the people, leaving them outside has no effect, and they will take it for nothing.
Although Wei Gui is only a young officer, he has a lot of experience, and the experience of participating in several battles has allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience, and he has been very careful in the march, not only divided into different parts, but also sent out only a small part of the cavalry as a precursor to prevent the other party's sneak attack.
Even if the other party only has 800 group exercises, he must be careful, even the Wang family values it so much, and even made up 6,000 family members, and allocated so many step people, how dare he be careless.
He didn't know that Sun Ji and the others were in Miaojiazhuang, Wang Xiansong just told him to be careful of the other party's marksman, the other party had at least 4 or so condor hands.
The Condor is not terrible, especially when there are enough heavy infantry in large numbers, he just needs to be careful of himself and his high-ranking officers, so as not to be sniped, even he is fully armored.
Among the 13,000 troops, there are only 1,000 cavalry in total, of which the Yunyi Army and the Baozhou garrison itself have about 400 cavalry, and the family team has made up 600 horses, not that there are few who know how to ride, you know, among the 6,000 family members, the vast majority are all-rounders, that is, there are more than 3,000 people who know how to ride and can act as cavalry.
The reason why there are so few cavalry, the key is horses, Baozhou is also considered a border, a number of large commercial capitals, there are also relatively large cattle and horse markets, but the entire Baozhou, and even the entire city, is only more than 600 horses, the rest, are all horses, can only be supplemented to the baggage team.
The cavalry took the lead in the front, and after searching the key places around it, left about 200 cavalry to continue to do eye reconnaissance for the large army, and the rest, speed up, and rushed directly to Miaojiazhuang.
On the road connecting Miaojiazhuang and Baozhou, 800 cavalry, like a whirlwind, came quickly, and even suddenly, the 7 cavalrymen who were still working as sentries were also cut off.
These 7 are also clever, after seeing that they were outflanked by 800 cavalry, they took the initiative to give up their hiding place, changed their clothes, and integrated into the countryside, they themselves are nearby villagers, they are quite familiar with the surroundings, know where there are few people, easy to dodge, at this moment, they have no way to return to Miaojiazhuang, on the battlefield, they 7 have no effect, they can only protect themselves.
