As long as you have a little knowledge of the battlefield, and you have carefully checked the previous battlefield, you will not think that this is acting.

Previous seizures have proven that this special long arrow is amazingly lethal.

Few of the existing weapons of the Liao State can compete with this kind of arrow, and the hardness and sharpness are much inferior, and several complete long arrows have also been taken to the crossbow to try.

The bow of the Liao State could not shoot these arrows, only a crossbow could.

However, the effect is very amazing, using this non-standard arrow, the range and lethality of the crossbow have been greatly improved, not to mention single-layer armor, double-layer multi-layered, and it can't be stopped.

This kind of thing seems to exist specifically for armor piercing.

At that time, only the high-level knew about these things, Xiao Hui and others knew very well that if they said it, it would cause a huge sensation in the Liao army, and he naturally thought that this kind of thing was not much in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not suitable for use.

But now, the facts are in front of us, and there are at least 1,000 of them in front of us alone, as can be seen from the number of salvos.

Others are looking at the excitement, he is looking at the doorway, this thing, the rate of fire is too fast, and the huge body, I'm afraid it's not much worse than a crossbow arrow, reminiscent of the wounds on the body of the Western Xia army before, if there are enough of these things, if they attack intensively, it's really terrifying, and it's a natural cavalry nemesis.

What to do? Liao's biggest reliance, the strongest type of heavy cavalry, has been defeated, what should I do?

The performance of the Northern Song Dynasty lasted only 70 breaths before it ended, and Liao Xingzong and others were anxious, but they still waited for about a quarter of an hour, and there was no movement on it, so they stepped forward.

Of course, Liao Xingzong couldn't come forward in person, and even the same Wenchen military generals couldn't, but he could send someone to investigate and get some things back.

Soon, several teams of guards numbered thousands, and the results of the battle were brought back, and the Northern Song Dynasty did not do the slightest obstruction to their actions, and after layers of inspection, this thing was sent to Liao Xingzong.

The dozens of horses brought in were heavily armored horses, already dead and could not die again, in fact, at the beginning of the initial attack, they were the first wave to be attacked quite accurately.

"King Han, what do you think?" After Liao Xingzong finished reading everything, his face became very bad, and the conjecture in his heart was one aspect, but what he really saw was another aspect.

Liao Xingzong's psychology was very simple before, he knew very well what Han Qi's purpose was, an archery performance, let the 100,000 army retreat, is this a joke?

Whether Han Qi is among them or not, it is even better, he captured this fortress, and naturally he can get this important member of the Northern Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter if he doesn't, the left and right are just Lingzhou, and he will push it down.

After watching the performance, it seems that after these real battle examples, he was directly speechless, the previous Western Xia army suffered this attack, so that it would be paralyzed in a short time, and finally a considerable part surrendered.

The performance in front of him was somewhat unexpected, and the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State did not expect that this heavy longbow with only 1,000 bodies would be so terrifying, even if this performance was discounted, the number, density, rate of fire, and accuracy of the archers were reduced considerably.

No matter how it is reduced, there is no doubt about one thing, this long arrow, for the lethality of the armor is quite terrifying, and the rate of fire is combined with the range, and there are still some ways to replace it with field warfare, but siege warfare, there is some insolvability.

In the battle of Xingqingfu, it seems that the Liao State was very disdainful of the Northern Song Dynasty's military exploits, and the Northern Song Dynasty, which was strongly ordered, stopped the attack and replaced them with an attack.

In fact, the Liao army was very afraid of the archers of the Song army, and the archers of the Song army, also in front of the Liao army, performed this salvo, speed, accuracy, and coverage, which was simply the enemy of the cavalry, how should they deal with it.

The most important thing is to be in a fixed defense. The battle of Xingqing Mansion has already let the Liao State know that the terrible thing about a higher defense, this defense, is not as strong as Xingqing Mansion.

Liao Xingzong couldn't judge, just while waiting, he was also looking at the building, but he was more waiting, Xiao Hui also observed, to see if the defensive strength of this building could be captured.

If it can be captured in a short period of time, everything is very easy to say, no matter what the Northern Song Dynasty did, just ignore it, bring 100,000 Western Xia prisoners, and let them do it, the reason is the destruction of 30,000 iron harriers.

But what if the attack is not smooth? As long as this fortress has a fraction of the defense power of Xingqing Mansion, coupled with the attack power of this terrible bow and arrow, the damage caused by it may be several times that of Xingqing Mansion.

Xiao Hui's expression also changed from the performance, from solemn to iron-green, and then to completely unbelievable.

Because in the beginning, a small fortress, what is this, he is well-informed, it is natural for him to think that the bigger the city, the stronger the defense, and the small defense, like those stockades, can be simply ignored.

After the performance from the longbow, a sharp attack, a terrible rate of fire, completely unimaginable penetration.

The Liao State is not as good as the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of smelting, and it is not a complete idiot like the Western Xia, they still know what refined iron is, and they also know the meaning of divine weapons.

But they couldn't imagine that a thing that could be called a divine weapon could be used on a long arrow like this.

At any time, bows and arrows are consumables, they are used to consume, and the loss is inevitable, with the rate of fire of the archers of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not archery, it is shooting money.

It is precisely with such a premise that when Xiao Hui looked at this fortress, he had more intentions, and this little bit of care made him surprised to find that this fortress seemed to be different.

From a distance, it is similar to the previous village with low defense, but it is a little higher and smaller, and the more you look closely, the more you feel that there are many differences.

This fortress is really too high, not ordinary high, it is a bit outrageous high, Xingqing Mansion is also considered high, and it is only two or three zhang high, just like that, it makes the Liao army suffer, and it takes a long time to climb to the head of Xingqing Mansion.

Height is a terrible data, a thousand feet high, enough to block all the armies in the world, when the height is doubled, the difficulty of attacking the city, not to mention two or three times.

This is almost seven or eight zhang, below this height, a higher height, what it brings is the terrible difficulty of siege, to cross this wall, it takes more than sweat.

If height is only the first problem, after careful observation, he suddenly realized that size is also a problem.

It is an indisputable fact that the defense strength of large cities and small cities is small, and it was judged according to this defense standard in the past, but now it seems that small is also a little weird.

If it is small, the investment per unit area is small, which does not matter in ordinary city defense, there are fewer people on the front line, and there can be a few more rounds, as long as there is more space outside and enough archers to cover it.

But now, the archers of the Northern Song Dynasty have a range far above them, that is to say, the number of people invested will be very limited, so in such a small space, the defending side has an absolute advantage.

The tall city wall restricts the follow-up personnel from rushing over, and the defense power of this small building cannot be said to be small, but large.

Crucially, these forts are oddly designed and appear to be masonry.

That's right, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the walled city of the border pass is not all brick and stone structure, part of it is still a soil wall, because the brick and stone structure investment is too huge, it is difficult to build, the Northern Song Dynasty also spent decades to establish a series of defense systems in Hebei, stationed hundreds of thousands of troops, so that the Liao State was deterred.

But this is Western Xia, Western Xia has no defense, even Xingqing Mansion, it seems that the height and defense power are not as good as this, if this is the case, they would have returned in vain.

Even if you associate it, you can also think that the building was not built for a long time, and it should have been built after the Northern Song Dynasty occupied Lingzhou, so the value of this building may be on a higher level.

When Liao Xingzong asked a little impatiently, when the defensive strength of this building was raised, Xiao Hui was a little silent, Xiao Hui is also proficient in the battlefield, it is easy to see that this defensive strength may be higher than that of Xingqing Mansion, but there are not so many people.

How about the specifics, I don't know until I fight, the Liao State sent so many soldiers and horses, and it is acceptable to lose a little, but now, the Northern Song Dynasty has put on a show in front of them, which makes him a little embarrassed.

In the past, he could have sent someone to test it and see the strength of the defense of this building, but the performance of the archers, especially the speed and penetration of those bows and arrows, the heavy cavalry in front of him, was papier-mâché, and the tall fortifications, as long as they hit above the level, could not be captured in a short time.

In this short period of time, the attacker is within the range of the archer's attack, and as long as the city wall is safe, the archer, to a certain extent, can attack without any scruples.

This is not a temptation, but sending people to death, and he can't figure out who is willing to attack.

Siege and defense of the city, in the long years, has formed its own unique system, siege and defense of the city have their own system, but in the face of the new longbow of the Northern Song Dynasty, everything is reversed.

The archers of the Northern Song Dynasty, their shooting range is very long, which has been verified on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the Northern Song Dynasty using secret weapons to kill the walls of Xingqing Mansion, or according to the traditional method, the archers of the Northern Song Dynasty could still suppress the city head of Xingqing Mansion, and so on in a reciprocating battle.

Now, when this terrible bow and arrow fell on them, Xiao Hui suddenly felt so powerless, in front of him, it seemed that there was a fortress that could not be captured at all.
