Chapter 747: Attacking the Bastion
For more than 1 minute, an average of six rounds of shooting were like fried beans and firecrackers, but on all the people from the Northern Song Dynasty, it was like a mountain, weighing heavily. An exercise is an exercise, but what the exercise shows is thought-provoking, especially for those generals who have a strategy.
The previous 100 people's target shooting, even including some rapid-fire and long-term shooting, those are relatively unique firearms, think about it, not too popular, but the phalanx of 5,000 people, carried out this simulated attack and defense, the weapons they used were exactly the same as the weapons used by other soldiers, at least, Di Qing and Han Qi couldn't see from the telescope, there was any difference from others.
This is terrible, the power of the guns before, you can say, is relatively rare, just like a marksman like Sun Ji, the number is a little more, and at most it affects a small scale, but what to do later, 5,000 people, plus 100,000 people present.
This Wei Li is really good, at the very least, Han Qi is speechless, and other Northern Song Dynasty soldiers who can come here, whether they are officers or not, this thing can be seen at a glance.
The phalanx of 5,000 people, if against the forbidden army of 5,000 people, the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that there is not even a little room for resistance, and the frontal attack is definitely slaughtered, even if it runs, it may not be able to run away, as long as 5,000 people cooperate with the previous 100 marksman, I am afraid that I can't even run away.
This process is very short, but the effect is shown above, on the opposite side, on the simulated battlefield, there are dummies, there are pigs and cows, but these are almost beaten into a sieve.
Since the popularization of muskets, the Dinghai Navy has put aside the most basic kind, which was more powerful at the beginning, and the current weapons are not metal fixed ammunition, but paper shell fixed ammunition, and the power has been strengthened a lot because of the relationship between the propellant.
Zhao Xin invited Han Qi to inspect the battlefield, and when inspecting the battlefield, Han Qi didn't have the heart to go, it was Di Qing who went, and Di Qing carefully investigated, mainly to see the power of this thing.
The power is a little worse than the previous firearms, at least, there are some places, it can't go deep, but on top of the longbow, on the target, the step armor, or the more elite step armor, within 120 meters, can penetrate a layer of foot armor and a layer of cowhide, what does it represent, Han Qi felt shudder when he thought that the soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty wearing the foot armor were like live targets, and they were broken layer by layer by qualified mysterious weapons.
That is to say, the strongest protective force in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Bu Ren Armor will be greatly tested, and there may be a front of the heart goggles, which can resist one or two, but the sides and seams cannot be resisted.
Looking at the situation shown by the other party, you can know that this weapon is also very similar to the longbow, it is a covering attack, that is, it is almost impossible to rely on the heart guard to block.
2,000 people is already very terrifying, and it is only a part of what is being shown now, which has already made Han Qi frightened, he doesn't know how he can choose to encounter an army like 100,000, and what to do.
After that, there were some other exercises, which were not very interesting, because there were not many cavalry and infantry, and there was no similar cooperation, but there were joint training of sharpshooters and ordinary marksmen, and some auxiliary exercises.
These were also trained with longbows in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there was nothing new, which meant that as long as this attack power was there, it would be centered on this flavor, and the other troops, unless they were sacrificing themselves and attacking them, otherwise, from the flanks, sneak attacks and the like would not work.
However, such an exercise is not without gains, the 5,000-person phalanx exercise has given them inspiration, and it seems that they can refer to this, using the longbow phalanx, the design of the second to ensure the balance of firepower on one surface.
Han Qi briefly exchanged opinions with Di Qing, this idea was affirmed by Di Qing, their voices were very small, Zhao Xin didn't hear it, even if he heard it, he would only laugh dumbly.
The three-stage shot was born out of the Japanese musket in the past, and the lethality on the surface is guaranteed, which is suitable for most long-range weapons, but not for the longbow, otherwise, when the experience was imparted, this experience would have been passed on to the longbow a long time ago.
The phalanx of the longbow will form a face, and then the arrows shot out, carry out a certain control, and in the case of similar strength and angle, it will also form a face on the opposite side, so that the attack of the face is the root of the longbow's lethality, and if the surface is really turned into a line, the lethality will be significantly reduced.
From the beginning of the exercise, to now, it has been almost an hour, and the exercise has come to an end, and Zhao Xin also took the initiative to tell Han Qi that the last project is about to be carried out.
The last project, after hearing this, Han Qi was slightly stunned, he turned around slightly, and then he thought of what the last project meant, isn't it now, the fortress that was erected not far away.
When he came, he thought that the navy might attack the fortress, and when he arrived here, after seeing the fortress, he had a positive answer, but Han Qi couldn't figure out how to use to conquer the fortress.
Perhaps, with the marksman and musket, with the shooting accuracy of the marksman more than 700 meters away, it is really impossible to gather more than 100 marksmen, and it may not be impossible to deal with the fortress, the defenders of the fortress are 800 to 1200, killing dozens in a wave, and in a relatively long time, as long as more than two-thirds are killed, the fortress will collapse.
If so, how do you prepare for it?
No matter how powerful the fortress is, it also needs people to protect it, and if there are not enough personnel, it will not be able to protect the fortress, but this method is easy to solve, and it is okay to shrink away, not outside, and confront the attacker head-on.
The fortress is obviously different from other defensive buildings, that is, he does not lose the outer city wall, and he is facing the catastrophe, even if he loses all the city walls, he will only lose half of the fortress, or a little more defense, with the inner defense system, they can also hold on.
The kind of weapon that Zhao Xin called a gun, maybe in the open field, on the outside, works very well, but on the inside, in the interior of the building, his role is very limited.
Han Qi could think of it, and Di Qing also wanted it, as long as he didn't show his head, he could offset the power of the marksman, so that it was not impossible to resist the passivity of comparison.
Ding Haijun began to prepare, and Zhao Xin invited Han Qi to take a look at this fortress.
Zhao Xin didn't need to lie to them, the historical fortress was also under the large-scale popularization of muskets and artillery, leaving the stage of history, although for a period of time, with the improvement of muskets and some artillery, the protection of the fortress increased, but after the large-scale application of artillery, the fortress was relatively backward
When Han Qi heard that there was a fortress, his heart moved slightly, and he asked with a smile, is this fortress set up, not a tofu scum project.
Zhao Xin knew very well what Han Qi would think, let Han Qi personally go to the inspection, at the very beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the construction of the fortress was carried out with the help of the Ding Navy.
But in the follow-up, the entire Northern Song Dynasty, built so many hundreds of thousands of fortresses, relying solely on a Dinghai, it will not work, in addition to cement and steel bars, still obtained from the Dinghai, the other, the process of construction, is to compare the gourd to draw a scoop, build reinforced concrete, and then build the fortress like bricks, such a structure, when fixing the standard, an ordinary mason can do it.
In order to verify something, Han Qi of course mobilized some craftsmen, the total number of these craftsmen was about 40 people, originally, I thought that Zhao Xin would deliberately block it, and only let a small part go up, who knows, Zhao Xin waved his hand and went casually.
How many people can be on the fortress, Han Qi can't shoot them all, more than 30 craftsmen, they will investigate the structure of the fortress and check whether it is tofu scum, by the way, Di Qing and other generals who are familiar with the fortress and have personally commanded the battle of the fortress also went up, they are for learning.
If it is said that this fortress of the Dinghai Navy is a real fortress, when they built it, they must have referred to some specific characteristics of the Dinghai Navy, which allowed them to learn it.
Han Qi also sent dozens of people along the river. If there are more people, it is not simply to look at the structure, more than 50 people, you can use force at the same time, knock, to see if this fortress is genuine.
Since Zhao Xin let people come to see, of course, he will not hold the fraud, after the birth of artillery, especially heavy artillery, the fortress has been outdated, the emergence of cement and steel bars, so that the traditional cold weapons, or other weapons, for the attack power of the fortress, almost reduced to zero, under the reasonable arrangement, the role of manpower to the maximum, this is the terrible thing about the fortress, although in the environment, it may be a disadvantage, but on the fortress, with the help of this fortress, every part, It is almost impossible to attack the enemy in three or five, and the other side can only attack the enemy without investing a small part of the troops, and under the premise of sufficient logistical supplies and personnel, it is almost impossible.
This is the root of the magic of the fortress, but the fortress appeared too late, and the stall where the fortress appeared is basically the process of converting from cold weapons to hot weapons in this world, this kind of weapon in the era of cold weapons, almost invincible weapons, did not survive for long.
After the rapid development of artillery, the defense of this fortress was established on the premise that the fortress itself would not be destroyed, and when there were weapons to attack the fortress, this thing became a coffin, a coffin containing corpses.
Zhao Xin generously showed Han Qi to them, Han Qi was not polite, did not say, Zhao Xinrang saw it, but he didn't look at it, and sent someone to investigate it seriously.
Before dozens of craftsmen entered the fortress, they first looked at the foundation and depth of the fortress, which was still somewhat different from the one often built in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The first is the height, the height of the fortress is about 35 meters, which is about 10 meters higher than the one often built in the Northern Song Dynasty.
When the Dinghai Navy first helped the Northern Song Dynasty to build the fortress, the height of the fortress was almost more than 30 meters, but later, after the Northern Song Dynasty learned, they believed that reducing the height could not only reduce the difficulty of construction and speed up the construction, but also the defense of the fortress was not significantly reduced.
This obvious reduction, of course, is sensory, 20 meters high and 35 meters high, 15 meters high, the difficulty of the attack, must increase, the increase of a single ladder, is a huge trouble, but in the face of even a 25-meter-high ladder, it is difficult to create enemies, 25 meters and 35 meters, is the same.
In addition to the height, the depth of the foundation, as well as the thickness, is also a basic judgment, 50 people, respectively, for different parts, conducted a series of inspections, and finally came to the conclusion that this is a very complete fortress, and even from a certain extent, the materials used are higher than the fortresses of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In fact, if you simply look at whether the fortress is tofu scum, look at this, it is already okay, tofu slag will set up loopholes in some places, or build it casually, but this is obviously not the case.
Rare opportunity, to see the real fortress of the Dinghai Navy, Di Qing did not stop, but carefully looked at the fortress, 35 meters in height, compared to the ordinary fortress, at least two or three floors higher, the internal design, is also quite reasonable, the most important thing is that the underground is not casually arranged, but built a large number of basements, and even expanded outward, the more underground the bigger it is.
This is not only more difficult to construct, but also more expensive, this is changed after the Northern Song Dynasty, but such a fortress, indeed compared with the Northern Song Dynasty later improved, more solid, more difficult to break, simply the increase in space, can accommodate more personnel and materials, this, in fact, will enhance the combat effectiveness of the fortress.
The multi-layered structure, the different ways of changing the channel, these Dinghai were all passed to the Northern Song Dynasty, these are all the same, but in some places, the Northern Song Dynasty did not realize its role and was changed.
The whole process of inspection, after almost two incense sticks, under the common approval of Di Qing and the craftsmen, came to the conclusion that this is far above the ordinary Northern Song Dynasty fortress.
After getting this result, Han Qi was not only not happy, but froze, because since this fortress was erected here, and Zhao Xin was ready to show his muscles, then it was almost certain that this was going to attack the fortress.
But with such a guarantee of quality and quantity, and a big discount, obviously, he is quite confident in his own attack methods, what kind of attack methods is it?
Han Qi's eyes were cast to the other end of the fortress, in the process just now, the Ding Navy was also preparing and launched almost 20 things, but because of the occlusion, I couldn't see the situation, but it was certain that it must not be a method of attacking the fortress with a marksman, slowly shooting, that method even Han Qi could think of measures, let alone the Ding Navy, what are those blocked weapons?
