Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 640 The Queen 18
But they said that the unarmed people used to live on the plains. Unlike the south, where there were steep mountains and steep mountains, they could defend the passes. Once they encountered the barbarians, they would only be beaten. So every time the barbarians came, they often What happened was that all the adult men in the family were killed, and then the women, children and property were robbed. They basically had no resistance and could only be slaughtered.

But now, they have a bastion to defend. As long as they attack the bastion downwards, they can hold the bastion. Even if they cannot hold it, they can still cause losses to the enemy. It is much more powerful than the one-sided massacre before.

In this way, the people's hearts inevitably gave birth to the courage to resist, and they would no longer be killed at the slightest provocation like before.

Anyway, if the bastion is breached, you will die, sooner or later. Doesn't it mean that if you kill one enemy, you will not lose money, but if you kill two enemies, you can still make one?
Therefore, the morale of the people's bastion is no worse than that of the army. More importantly, everyone knows that their family members are in the bastion. Once the bastion is broken, their home will be gone. Who wouldn't fight for it?

Besides, many of the residents of the northern land had their families, relatives, friends, and property killed or taken captive by barbarians in the past. They had long harbored hatred for these barbarians. Now, It seems that they are not like before, completely at their mercy, and can kill each other in turn. To be honest, apart from the fact that their training is not as good as those of real officers and soldiers, in terms of morale, they are a little stronger than those armies.

What's more, it's not like they haven't been trained.

After each bastion was built, the people were told that the bastion would be basically managed by themselves from now on, so the government sent officers and soldiers to train them for a period of time. After they became familiar with it, they were asked to practice like this when they were fine. , so that when the enemy comes, they will have the ability to resist.

So they have been training since the bastion was established.

In addition, the imperial court also provided a batch of resistance materials to each bastion - some bows, arrows and swords, and some gray stones (actually concrete blocks) made of the same material as the bastion, which were placed on the bastion wall. If the enemy came, , you can use these stones to hit the enemy.

There are also some trebuchets placed on the wall so that everyone can throw stones far away. They have practiced before, and these artificially made stones are quite powerful.

Of course, after the experiment, they picked it up. After all, it can be used repeatedly.

Therefore, each bastion has a certain attack power.

Moreover, there is absolutely no way for spies to sneak in, because everyone in the fort is everyone's acquaintance. Unlike some cities, spies will sneak in and open the city gates for the enemy - some of the cities occupied by the Hu people before. In the city, some barbarians sneaked into the city, cooperated with the barbarians outside, and opened the city gate.

But in the bastion, such a thing is absolutely impossible to happen, because everyone in the bastion is an acquaintance of everyone, and it is impossible for a spy to sneak in and find out the situation.

Of course, the government has also sent people to warn against spies, so each bastion has its own precautions - usually when guests come, they only stay on the outside and are not allowed to enter the center of the bastion and the city wall, so the other side It is impossible to know the various arrangements in the bastion.

In addition to the guard force sponsored by the imperial court, everyone in the fortress will also pool their own money to buy some defense equipment.

After the government told them some key points for attacking and defending the city, they also bought some other commonly used defensive equipment from the key points for defending the city. No matter whether it was useful or not, it was better than nothing.

The defense of the bastion is relatively excellent, mainly through geometric algorithms, which can use the fewest people to form full fire coverage, so that the least number of people can be used to resist the attack of the most people.

Then they just sit back and wait for rescue.

If it doesn't work, we can still evacuate from the tunnel.

Of course, the main thing is to wait for rescue. After all, the supplies in the bastion are limited. If the enemy never retreats and keeps besieging them, they will not be able to hold it. But the barbarians generally won't besiege them all the time. After all, there are bastions everywhere now, and there are no supplies outside the bastions. This is another function of the bastion. It is equivalent to strengthening the wall and clearing the country, so that the enemy cannot snatch the people's food supplies on the spot. Supplies - They have been crowding outside, how can they survive without supplies.

Therefore, even if there is no rescue, these enemies may not be able to hold out for long, and they will escape before the defense methods in the bastion are exhausted.

The people in the fortress thought well. In their first confrontation with the barbarians, they suffered a big loss.

Of course, it’s also because the Hu people are too greedy.

The place they came to attack this time was a bastion built in a town with a large number of people.

Since this town has a large population, it must be a transportation thoroughfare, which is why it is so prosperous.

Since it was an important transportation road, the barbarians felt that they had to occupy this fortress first.

Occupying this bastion will not only occupy the main traffic road, but also there will be more people in this bastion, and there will be more wealth, women and children. If you break one, you will be rich. It is not like robbing the population of a thousand people. The bastion is very tiring to fight, and you don’t get much from it, so it’s boring.

Therefore, it is better to use this kind of large bastion. Once it is broken, it can not only frighten the surrounding bastions - after all, such large bastions are broken, but those small bastions should not be scared to death - but also gain a lot of wealth and wealth. Population, how great is that.

And when they chose to use such a large bastion as a good start, they obviously chose the wrong target.

The sponsorship Linlang arranges for each bastion is based on the number of people in each bastion. In this way, a bastion close to tens of thousands of people will provide more sponsorship for the defense of the city.

In fact, this kind of bastion does not need tens of thousands of people to defend the wall. In other words, it does not require so many people to defend, so the average defense equipment at each defense point is actually equivalent to increasing in disguise. In other words, such a bastion is better able to hold on.

Moreover, with more people, more excellent archers and slingers can be selected, and the people who defend the city can change shifts. Everyone will not even be like a bastion with few people. Too few people can't change shifts, and they get tired easily.

So when the barbarians came over, they were severely beaten by this large bastion.

They arrived near the bastion and were first attacked by a hail of arrows and strange stones.

When they tried to attack the city, they were attacked even more and could not attack it at all.

In this situation before, they would capture local people from nearby villages and use them as cannon fodder to attack the city.

However, now there is a bastion, and all the people around it live in the bastion. Even if they want to capture the cannon fodder and attack the city, they can't do it, so they can only stand on their own.

To be honest, they are not afraid of cavalry like them fighting in the wild, but if they are allowed to attack a city, they will be much weaker.
