Chapter 233: The Strangeness of the Longbow

When Mingjin's gong sounded, and the other party withdrew from the range of their attack, when the special instruction was to leave the Buren Jia, Sun Ji's decisive order was abandoned, and for the Buren Jia, it was just a waste of strength.

From the attack effect just now, for the archers of leather armor, the attack effect is very good, as long as it hits, it is either dead or injured, but for the foot armor, a little effect has been achieved, or in the weak link.

Meaningless things, Sun Ji will definitely do it, Zhao Xin has immortal arts, arrows that can be manifested endlessly, and in the fortress, there are also a lot of tools stored, with the help of this simple tool, it can already quickly produce arrows, but at this time, if you can save a little, you can save a little.

Besides, the physical strength of the longbowman is not endless, and it cannot be wasted so arbitrarily.

This battle will last at least a month, two or three hundred casualties, a blow to the rebels, but the overall strength is not much, the rebels 13,000, plus the strong men, close to 20,000, really not much, so I have to rest for a while, they have sorted out their morale, and then come to attack, it will definitely be different.

500 longbowmen, divided into two parts, almost 300 or so, directly from the rear side door, down, they need to take turns to rest, the first time let everyone up, just let everyone feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, strive to exercise, next, the most likely use of the opponent, is the method of continuous saturation attack.

This is also the usual method of attacking the fortress in general, after all, the size of the fortress is limited, there are not many people, relatively speaking, the defenders outside are numerous, but this is equivalent to adding fuel to the strategy, especially the initial fortress, with the help of this, set up a huge statement, people began to know that to conquer the fortress, simply by relying on the frontal siege, it is almost impossible, most of the premise, is to attack a few times, and then, is a siege.

The remaining 200 or so men began to sit down and rest, which was quite dangerous on the battlefield, but there were perfect preparations, and 12 felt sheds were straightened, and these wooden skeletons were covered with thick felt cloth, which was enough to withstand most attacks, and even the stones of the catapult might not be able to break through this easily.

12 felt cloths, this piece of protection for the most part, although not seen the light of day, but enough protection, not to mention the stray arrows, even if it is a huge brick of the catapult, facing a 3 cm thick iron plate, it has no effect, leaving only an observation post.

If it is an elite soldier, they may still seize the time to rest, but they are new recruits on the battlefield, they have not yet felt the cruelty and killing on the battlefield, and some just discuss their feelings, whether you shoot or not, I shoot or not.

But when everything is blocked, they don't know if they have shot, and the longbow team's method of recording merit is different from others, except for the special blocking archer, which uses the human head to record the merit, and the others are all to complete the efficiency and effect, that is, the unified merit and the collective merit record.

Sun Ji did not stand in the circle, even before, when the two sides attacked, he did not stand in the circle.

For Sun Ji, with his strength, speed and physical strength, coupled with a strengthened version of the infantry armor, on this battlefield, weapons that can threaten him are basically non-existent.

You must know that the ordinary Buren Armor is about 29 kilograms, but on Sun Ji's body, all the iron pieces are treated, and the blade material of the long knife used is not iron, it is steel, and the density of the iron pieces is 3 times that of ordinary Buren Armor, and the weight is 87 kg.

Of course, the heavy armor has been handled with flexibility, don't worry, there is a problem with flexibility, but the weight has reached 81 kilograms, ordinary people can't move casually when they wear it, they must use the strength of the whole body, but he wears it, but it is extremely easy, and it doesn't affect the action at all, but in terms of protection, it is more than 5 times that of ordinary foot armor, even if it is a divine arm crossbow, don't want to penetrate it at a distance of more than 50 meters.

This enhanced version of the Buren Armor, Sun Ji is very satisfied, strong protection is the core of survivability on the battlefield, this is the experience finally summed up in countless bloody battles,

Nothing would happen until the rebels re-attacked, and he strolled across the entire fortress and felt the strength of the fortress for himself.

Even if Sun Ji has enough attention to the fortress, he still underestimates the fortress, the height can really solve all problems, the effect shown by the longbow team on the fortress is not only to completely exert the effect of the fortress, the most important thing is that the flat floor is filled, the range is significantly increased, and the power is also significantly increased, this subtlety, only Sun Ji can see clearly.

Miaojiazhuang, Wei Gui just started to count the casualties, Zhu Gui just started to take stock, the regular army was born, the order was issued, naturally there were lower-level officers, who were responsible for implementing this order, and soon the total number was reported.

Of the 208 dead and 127 wounded, more than 80 were critically ill, that is, it was less than 60 breaths of time, and the two sides almost just met each other, causing such a lot of lethality.

The casualties that have been produced have made him heartbroken, and he really didn't expect that a small Zhuangzi would be so difficult, no wonder even Wang Deyong attaches so much importance to it.

There was no turning back from the bow, Wei Gui knew that his life, in the next period of time, if the war in Miaojiazhuang could end quickly, he might still have a chance to live, if he dragged it around, I am afraid that he would only die.

The Northern Song Dynasty attaches great importance to rebellion, especially this kind of rebellion of officers, Zhao Kuangyin is Chen Qiao's mutiny to seize power, Zhao Guangyi is again, the experience of the two generations of emperors, all the roads have been blocked, once discovered, it will definitely be a dead hand, and he really has no chance to pass smoothly.

Soon the culprit was also sent to Wei Gui, and in front of him was a long arrow, about 4 percent longer than ordinary arrows, and it was also a lot thicker, it seemed to be drawn from the person's body, and it was faintly with bloodstains.

Wei Gui looked at the most critical arrow, the huge arrow, you can imagine its hideous, leather armor with iron plates, it was penetrated effortlessly, and even directly pierced through the chest, when, in the realm of the Great Song Dynasty, such a terrible bow and crossbow appeared, even if it was a soldier without armor, it was not a simple matter to pass through the chest through the bones and chest, what kind of attack power did this represent.

The most important thing is that until now, there have been so many casualties, and there is no place to see where the archers of the other side are, although it is said that the arrows came down from the top of the city wall, and the archers who cannot be seen, behind which very strange city walls, there is no trace of the archers at all, and when they attack, they do not see the archers appear.

On the city wall, the grooves separated by each other, to put it bluntly, are the positions where the soldiers stand and fight, although they are underground, it is difficult to see so high, but occasionally, they still see the traces of soldiers, but in terms of the amplitude of the arrows, they are not shot anywhere.

The archers, where are they, maybe a little bit behind, because in order to finish the archery, both sides must be on the same plane or straight line, so that the accuracy is high, so that they can see each other.

Now, between the two, you can't see each other at all, is it possible, are they shooting indiscriminately, blindly?

But the chaos can cause such a large number of casualties, he is not a peasant army who doesn't know anything, the basic still knows, the archer is the focus, and it is also the formation of protection for intensive shooting, and there is a distance of about one step between each archer, which is to guard against this kind of intensive shooting.

I can't figure it out.

At this time, Wang Xiansong also arrived, and today he didn't even warm up, so he was defeated, which also surprised him very much.

Wei Gui's soldiers, about half of them, are coordinated by the Wang family, those are the most elite family members, even in the army, they are also one in a hundred, commanding such a strong army, but it looks like this, of course he wants to come and see.

"Has Mr. Wang ever seen a bow and arrow like this?" Wei Gui saw Wang Xiansong and asked with a bright eye.

Wang Xiansong's answer made him very disappointed, Wang Xiansong didn't give an answer, and he didn't know, because this long arrow was much longer than the arrow of the short bow, but compared with the crossbow arrow, the length was almost enough, and the general bed crossbow was a little too thin.

The bed crossbow is extremely strong, but because it is too strong, the strength required is also greater, and without a thicker crossbow arrow, it cannot withstand it at all, maybe it has not been shot yet, and the bed crossbow will collapse first.

In short, it was very strange, especially when Wang Xiansong asked about the process of the war, the range and power of this kind of bow, especially when he heard that even the weak points of the infantry armor could be shot into, Wang Xiansong was also moved.

This is an infinitely powerful bow and arrow, but the Wang family, who was born in the Wang family, in the entire northern China, in the military system, has never heard of this kind of bow.

Although it is said that in this era, there are many celebrities and craftsmen, and there have been treasures that are treasured by brooms, but they are all weapons that have been used on a large scale, and I have never heard of them, which is also too incredible.

Even Wang Xiansong couldn't give an answer, Wei Gui didn't force it, just a weapon, surprise, next, in the war, he wouldn't give him this opportunity, they still have an absolute advantage, whether it is the strength of the army, or their own strength.

"Mr. Wang, I'm going to make siege equipment, I don't know if there's anything that can support it!"

Wei Gui's sudden request made Wang Xiansong a little surprised, but unfortunately, under the premise that the Baozhou mutiny had started and the Wang family had to avoid suspicion, he couldn't draw much strength to support, but he still sent some craftsmen over, these were all around Baozhou, and they could arrive in a day or two at most.
