Almighty Cultivation Supreme

The day's battle was almost over before it began, and before the fortress could exert its might, the longbow had already shown its power, as Sun Ji expected, the power was infinite, and it was the best cooperation for the fortress.

In this way, on top of the chain of the future bastion, you can use less defensive heavy infantry and more offensive longbowmen.

Compared with the original short bow soldiers, the longbow soldiers consume a little more at most, the arrows of the longbow are much higher than the short bow, the materials used are also higher, plus the rate of fire, in the end, in the same battle, the consumption of the longbow is at least three to five times that of the short bow.

It sounds very high, but compared with efficiency, often a small military village on the border has to be stationed with at least one or two thousand people, and even in the face of a large army, this one or two thousand people can not play a role in slowing down the advance of the army.

But the fortress is different, although he is small, but strong enough, even without this moat, this height, it is not a day or two to surpass.

It's a pity that now, there has been a mutiny in Baozhou, and the contact with Renzong and the central government has been cut off, but as long as this level is passed, then the power of the fortress and the longbow will be unstoppable.

A regimental training of only 800 people in the face of 13,000 well-trained rebels can withstand a month's time, which is a huge change for the war situation in the northwest, as long as there are 100 or 200 such fortresses, the Western Xia army will not be able to step into the thunder pool half a step.

Sun Ji didn't know, he only had a preliminary contact with the power of the fortress and the power of the longbow, the longbow is an offensive and defensive army, otherwise, it would be impossible for England to have eighty or ninety percent of the army at that time, all of them were longbows, and all the remaining troops were positioned as assistants to the longbow.

Even if these peasants of the Northern Song Dynasty were of good quality, they were carefully selected, and some special training methods were used to help them quickly take shape, but it is undeniable that they were only half-finished products.

If it is a carefully selected elite longbow that has been trained for 2-3 years, if there is a high-level card such as longbow +3+4, the effect is very terrifying.

The speed alone cannot be compared, these longbows can barely reach 60 breaths 7-8 arrows, which is already double the rate of fire of the short bow, but the mature longbow, 60 breaths and 15 arrows, even reach the terrifying level of 17 arrows.

If you use a special arrow, through the bonus of the high-level longbow card, the power is increased by 40%, which is enough to penetrate the heavy chain mail and severely damage the step armor, then it is truly invincible, and the density and power are developed to the extreme.

Wei Gui is familiar with the war, and he prepares more arrow defense equipment, rather than facing the bed crossbow, the previous long arrows, at the beginning, he also suspected that it was a bed crossbow, or a special kind of bed crossbow shot, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of which kind of bed crossbow would use such a thin arrow, which is unreasonable.

Besides, the bed crossbow will inevitably show its tracks at the head of the city, and the bed crossbow will use a lot of people, depending on their density, it can't be a bed crossbow, otherwise, a small camp, more than 1,500 bed crossbows are arranged, which requires at least 10,000 people, or a regular army like the forbidden army, then you don't have to fight, you will run first.

At the same time, according to the size of this fortress, that is, the size of two or three acres of land, even if it can be placed, how many can be placed, although the bed crossbow is powerful, but in the defense of the city, it is limited, even if it is a big city like Bianliang, how many bed crossbows are placed around the entire city, not every section of the city, can be casually placed under the bed crossbow.

Wei Gui didn't realize the terrible space, he analyzed it more from the size of the city, which is also an ordinary judgment method, ancient city defense, rarely use the internal space, at most, in a critical area such as the city gate, make a few hidden caves, used to directly support the defense of the city gate.

The fortress looks very small, yes, one layer is three or four acres, but the whole fortress, from top to bottom, is 12 layers, which represents 12 times that of three or four acres, but the protective area is still 3-4 acres, or even smaller.

The huge fortress has brought difficulty to the siege, this is still good at siege, the Song army with enough siege weapons, if it is Liao, or Western Xia, pile up dirt mountains, and ride horses to storm the city, it is impossible to achieve it anymore, and the simple siege tools of Western Xia cannot give them great protection, if they want to take this city, they can only rely on one point, that is, to rush with their lives.

That's right, the siege can only be carried out with life, with the help of these countless lives, so that it cannot pose a threat to the city, and this is the real horror.

Sun Ji's idea of using the fortress to the northwest is very correct, as long as there are about 3 acres, or even about 1 acre, and the height of 10 floors is enough to hide 1,000 soldiers.

12 acres of land, that is, more than 6,000 square meters, each person has more than 6 square meters of space, which is quite spacious for the army, at the same time, the sealed stone room, is also different from the barracks, easy to be attacked, can be exposed outside, only the top layer of the acre of land, is not completely exposed.

The spaciousness of the space represents the sufficiency of resources, as long as you choose a water source, or a place with abundant groundwater, and build this fortress, the water does not have to be considered, and the materials, for 1,000 people and for 10,000 people, bring a completely different level of quantity.

Such a city of 1,000 people, 200 infantry and 100 longbows can be defended, and it can be divided into 3 batches.

This solves the two problems of the northwest military affairs, one is that the stockade has few soldiers, the defense is poor, it can only play the role of vigilance, it can only be used as an outcast, once the stockade loses contact, it proves that the stockade has been attacked, but the fortress is different, not only the protection area is small, it can accommodate enough personnel, all are masonry structures, and the boulder is exactly the same, even if it is a project to grab time, it is impossible to reduce the defense, condescending, even if the siege can come up, it is difficult to continue, it can be done without damage, Inflict great lethality on the other side.

It is the natural barrier of the Song Dynasty, if 100, or even 200 such a fortress, the garrison is about 200,000, but it can protect a large area, these places can not be defended, as long as 10 are concentrated, it is 10,000 well-trained troops, 20 is 20,000, Xixia dares to put these armies behind, but to attack, this is the iron lump, it can't be broken, it can't be cooked, and there is no way to deal with it, how much military spending will be saved.

In the future, the Liao-Song border can also be done in the same way, there is an army of 1 million and 1,000 fortresses, which is enough to protect the Liao-Song border, instead of the current one, spending 2 million troops, and suffering from the blackmail of the Liao State from time to time, for fear of war.

When the time comes, the initiative will be on the side of the Northern Song Dynasty, you fight, lose 5,000 people according to one fortress, even if you choose a road from the middle, 100 and 200 will fight, even if it is Liao, you will not be able to bear such a terrible loss.

The long defense line of more than 1,000 kilometers is now stationed with a million troops, which can be reduced by half, and this is a military fort in the full sense of the word, there are no civilian facilities, there is no need to worry about being stolen from the city, and even during the daytime, it can be completely closed, and even what to supply can also be lifted up by crane, such a city, how to attack.

When preparing siege weapons, today's offensive and defensive battles inevitably rose to Wei Gui's mind, and next, it was the most tragic offensive and defensive battle, which was something that must be avoided when fighting a soldier.

Attacking the fortified city would be a nightmare for any attacker, and if it wasn't clear that there was an armed force of 1,000 people at most in this fortress, he would never have chosen it like this.

Although the siege occupies the dominant, but once it enters the siege operation, the siege is a disadvantage, the opponent with the help of defense, occupies an absolute advantage, the preparation of engineering equipment, but as much as possible to reduce all kinds of consumption, in order to pull the two sides down to the same level.

Among the engineering weapons, the largest, but also a huge threat to the city, is the well fence, to put it bluntly, the well fence is a kind of movable, and the city wall wants to be the same height of the wooden structure, when the well fence is higher than the city wall, but also flexible under the premise of moving, a large number of bows and arrows, you can suppress the bow and arrow at the head of the city.

This is a choice, first of all, it is not possible, the well fence six or seven meters high can still be completed, and the well fence that exceeds 40 meters makes it impossible to move by weight, let alone suppress it.

The same unselectable is the mound of dirt mountain, seven or eight meters of dirt mountain, which can also be built with the help of manpower advantages, and a little higher, which is not a task that can be completed in a short time.

Time, as if it is a rope stuck in the neck, the more you use it, the more you feel that there is not enough time, if in the middle of the war, he encounters this situation, he may be able to slowly think of a way, but unfortunately he is a rebellion, at this moment, he realized that he is no longer a promising Song Dynasty officer, but a rebel who everyone can be punished.

His time is limited, less than a month, or even 20 days.

He can't think about it slowly, choose some suitable methods, and what he can do is just choose the best method that he can choose.

What other methods can there be, the wooden rafts that cross the moat, the giant wooden shields that resist arrows, and the ladders, which are the easiest, and also the simplest and most effective siege tools since the siege began, may not be able to let them suppress the opponent's city defense, but give them the opportunity to face the city defense.

If, the other party really only has 1,000 people, they will attack strongly, and there will be, at the same time, he keenly grasped one point, that is, this terrible bow and arrow, can only shoot through the leather armor, in the area covered by the rain of arrows, their bow suffered the greatest loss, the damage to the infantry armor is not high, only a dozen injured, and the injury is not serious, maybe the infantry armor can be regarded as the main force.
