"This fortress is really strange! Wushu, have you ever seen such a fortress when you were in Zhou State?"

At this time, Wanyan Aguda was standing on a car, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the Swallow Fort three miles away.

This is an eight-sided fort, and a prism-shaped fortress extends across the eight corners of the fortress. The fortress and the fortress are not built high, and it seems to be less than two feet long. Outside the fortress is a trench, not straight, but dug into the shape of an octagonal star. There is no water in the trench, and along the inside of the trench, there are also many tigers of defense cavalry.

Although Aguda had heard from spies about this strange fortress, he still felt it was very new when he saw it with his own eyes.

Moreover, this weird fortress does not seem to be solid... it shouldn't be difficult to fight, right?

In addition, there is a small shopping mall outside this fortress. Before Aguda's army approached, the shopping mall was still opening its doors to do business.

Although the market has been burned down by fire, the merchants who are working in the market have not escaped, but hid into the castle with their goods and money.

If you can break the castle, you can give a small vote!

"Father, my son has never seen such a fortress when he was in Zhou State." Wanyan Zongbing stood beside his father, holding a distant tube in his hand, squinting his eyes and looking at the Swallow Fort.

"Is this fortress considered strong?" Wanyan Aguda asked.

Nowadays, there are many generals in the Jin army who are good at fighting field battles, but there are only a handful of generals who are good at fighting siege wars. Wanyan Zongbi, who studied in Zhou State, is one of the few generals who are good at siege wars.

In the war to attack Shangjing Road and Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Zongbi commanded many siege battles!

"It doesn't look too strong, but..."

"But what?"

"But this kind of fortress with triangles (actually prismatic) is a bit weird and has never been hit before. It shouldn't be able to hit from the front. The front is too narrow and you can only start from both sides, but it can't be expanded... I don't know if it can be hit?"

"It looks nothing," said Aguda, "It's not very tall, and the trench outside is not very wide..."

The prism must be used with cannons, because the distance between the two prisms is too far from the bow and arrow, and it cannot form cross-fire. Moreover, the stopping effect of the bow and arrow is limited, and it does not constitute much lethality for enemies wearing heavy armor and carrying shields.

Therefore, there was no bastion in the long era of cold weapons. After the appearance of artillery, especially the appearance of a large number of shotguns, the bastion became the king of defense on the war stage.

The ridge that appears next to the mandarin duck is built in a hurry and is not very solid. The city wall is thin and low, and only eight ridge-shaped ridges are made of sandbags wrapped in solid rammed earth, which is relatively solid.

Without cannons and shotguns, Swallow Fort's defense ability is not worth mentioning...

"Let's see!" Aguda put away the telescope and said to his son, "You always have to touch the tiger's butt!"

"I really want to fight?" Wanyan Zongbi was stunned.

Aguda sent 100,000 troops to the grassland on the dam and just flicked a shot. The purpose was to cheer up Hebule and at the same time intimidate the bleak Sesse north of Zhengdun Binghuang River.

By the way, Aguda actually doesn’t know what Xiao Sesse wants to do?

The Khitan army was coming in 50,000 or 60,000. I thought it would rush straight to the Linhuang Mansion, but the troops stopped moving north of Huanghe... What exactly did this woman want to do? Are she scared? Or was she going north and was just bluffing?

"Blow!" Wanyan Agu slapped the railing of the car. "Wu Hao Ancient Capital's instructions are bleak across the Huanghe River, so we can't show weakness too much! Otherwise, it would seem that our young man is too soft and not as good as a Xi woman!"

Wu Haogu instructed Xiao Sesse to send troops to the north bank of Huanghe River and accidentally led Aguda's army.

If Wu Haogu led his army to attack personally, Aguda could completely avoid the war, and even give up Linhuang Mansion, allowing Wanyan Xie to retreat into the mountains to fight guerrillas.

But the one who came was Xiao Sesse, a weak woman... Wanyan Aguda, the dignified Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and the overlord of half the northern grasslands, how could he be afraid of Xiao Sesse, a woman?

Do you want prestige? Without prestige, the heroes on the grassland are not convinced! Those grassland barbarians have been younger brothers with the Liao Kingdom for more than a hundred years. Maybe they will turn around and surrender to Xiao Sesse.

Aguda paused and said, "And this strange fortress in ancient times has to be hit before it can be known... Zhou State is now building fortresses everywhere, as if using fortresses to seal the eastward road of our Great Jin Kingdom. We just took the opportunity to touch the details of Zhou State."

"Okay! I will lead our troops to attack!"

"No, don't use our young man," said Aguda, "to transfer 20 Bohai Moukes to you."

"Okay, I'll go and arrange it now."

"Wait," Aguda called Wanyan Zongbi again, "We Jurchens are also in accordance with the principles of heaven, so we must first and then soldiers...

Let’s send someone to shout first, as long as they hand over 100,000 yuan of wealth, we will spare Yanzibao.”

...

"It's so many! I'm afraid there are 100,000 people?"

"Not afraid, no fear, theoretically it can be kept!"

"Haha, 2,200 people guard a broken castle to block the 100,000 Jurchens... After this battle, we will be able to reach the top!"

"Yes, yes, I'm going to make it to the top... I didn't expect to be more lucky if I didn't go to Goryeo!"

"Hahaha……"

Two very young school-level officers of the Zhou Guo Army were watching the enemy situation at the head of Yanzibao, while cheering for themselves and the officers around them.

Ten thousand!

Moreover, the opponent is not a mob, but a Jurchen who claims to be invincible!

Even if you have a total of ten thousand, you can't go to heaven if you have a total of ten thousand?

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Yan and Major Li Xiaozhong only had 2,200 officers and soldiers, and there were 18 6-jin field cannons (the barrel weighed 800 jin) and a bastion that looked not strong... It was a bit fake if you were not afraid.

At this time, Wang Yan had already seen disturbances in the Jurchen army formation, and a group of infantry wearing armor and round shields rushed out.

"Shaoyan, the Jin soldiers are moving!" Wang Yan said to Li Xiaozhong, "It's a heavy armored infantry... It looks like there are five or six thousand!"

"Shaoyan" is the name of Li Xiaozhong. Li Xiaozhong, who is only 21 years old this year, moved to Cangzhou from Ningzhou, northwest, with his father.

His father was the first generation of the former knights. He broke his leg while fighting in the northwest with Gao Qiu and was unable to serve in the service, so he found a coach in the Knights Academy.

Li Xiaozhong was the second generation of knights. Although he could inherit the eldest son of his father's manor, he was still very hardworking and was admitted to the artillery department of the Knights Academy and became the first generation of artillery officers from the professional class.

Because artillery expanded very quickly, not only could the army use it, but the navy also relied on artillery to fight. Therefore, the first generation of professional artillery officers were promoted very quickly. The 21-year-old Li Xiaozhong had already become the major battalion commander. His rank was higher than his father!

Hearing the words of his boss, Wang Yan, the defense envoy of the Swallow Fortress, Li Xiaozhong also aimed the telescope at the Jin soldiers who were forming a dense formation.

"There is a square formation of more than 300 people, which should be a siege... There are no large siege equipment, no artillery, only cloud ladders." Li Xiaozhong breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke, "These people cannot defeat the prism-shaped castle."

Wang Yan said: "If there are too many, it cannot be expanded... How many people can be expanded between the two prismatic castles?

And once you enter it, you will be attacked from three directions and there is no way to survive! To be honest, I don’t know how to fight this kind of bastion myself.”

Wang Yan is a child of the Hedong Imperial Army. He is 27 years old and an early graduate of the Knights Academy. However, his official career has not been very good. Without Chen Jian, Xue Ding, Luo Gang, Yu Yongfu and others, he was lucky.

But this time I was lucky!

2,200 people fought against 100,000 Jin soldiers! Either they were beaten to death or were directly appointed as general, and they would become senior officials of the Zhou army in the future.

While the two were talking, they rushed out of the Jin army formation, with a white flag on their backs inserted into the flag ceremony of the Knights Academy, and the white symbolized peace talks.

So the crossbow soldiers deployed on the fort did not shoot, but let him approach, ran to the moat, and patrolled Wang Yan's military flag.

"Listen to the people in the city, my Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom has an order. Only when Yanzi City hand over 100,000 wealth and goods, the Great Jin soldiers and horses can go around the city. Otherwise, after the city is broken, all jade and stones will be burned..."

Wang Yan laughed when he heard this: "Go back and tell Aguda that he can't defeat Yanzibao! It's better to withdraw troops as soon as possible to avoid humiliation from yourself!"

...

"Transfer! The first in Bohai, the second in Bohai, and the third in the right wing of the Triangle Fort directly in front!

The fourth Mouke in Bohai, the fifth Mouke, and the sixth Mouke invaded the left wing of the Triangle Fort directly in front!

The rest of the mocks were divided into two parts, each carrying bows and arrows to cover the attack!

Beat the drum, move forward..."

Wanyan Zongbi, who received Wang Yan's reply, immediately began to deploy an attack. Although he had never attended the Knight Academy, he still learned a lot of Zhou-style military studies in the Knight Primary School. Later, he obtained the textbooks of the Knight Academy to study by himself, so he had a good level of using infantry and could also attack the city.

However, he will not attack the siege, so Zong Bi has taken the safest method, carefully test it first. After discovering the weakness of the siege, he will make adjustments or create corresponding siege equipment.

6,000 Bohai soldiers quickly formed a formation. Walking in front were six Muke's iron-armored soldiers, carrying cloud ladders and shields on their heads.

Behind them were 14 Mouke archers, all of whom were only wearing leather armor to protect their bodies.

Neither the archers nor the iron armored soldiers listed dense formations, but maintained loose formations, obviously because they were afraid of being bombarded.
