Chapter 469: Precursor to the King

In Yanjing, countless government-run and privately-run workshops are running at full speed, and all kinds of arms accessories are sent to the largest military workshops. These most critical heavy military workshops are working overtime day and night, and they are working a continuous axis.

The great god of Zhe Yanzhi personally sat in Yanjing, and the current Hebei capital transfer envoy Zhao Ding went down to the factory to supervise the scene.

In recent years, Zhao Song has not fought a big battle with 200,000 troops, but the 200,000 cavalry that rushed down in a hurry, the 200,000 cavalry that made do with it, and the 200,000 cavalry elite of the serious Eight Classics, the material needs in that war are very different.

Not to mention anything else, there is only one grain and grass material transfer, and the latter is ten times that of the former. Because of the 200,000 Song troops that entered the northeast this time, there were 50,000 or 60,000 people in the horse army alone, not to mention the two horses, and the large livestock such as cattle, horses, mules, and donkeys in the infantry army also far exceeded the Xuanhe Northern Expedition that year.

These livestock are all 'pot-bellied men', and the coarse materials such as forage, wheat bran, and fine materials such as beans and wheat and bean cakes used are all ten times that of the Song officers and soldiers, and the overall material loss is ten times that of the standard. That is, the capture of the Song army after entering the northeast is very heavy, which can make up for the shortcomings.

There are 200,000 infantry cavalry soldiers, and there are more than 100,000 people behind them, and there are more than 100,000 people, which is because Yanjing is an important reserve for the Song army, which can be imported to the northeast. Moreover, along the way, the material supply of the Song army took more water and sea routes, which alleviated great trouble for the logistics of the Song army.

But even so, the overall amount is astronomical. If preparations had not been made long ago, the continuation of the material transfer and the unexpected events in it would have caused the entire military headquarters to collapse.

To give an example, the bow and crossbow of the Song army. They have now given up the earlier short-tip light arrow mode, the kind of weapon that simply pursues range and ignores the lethality of a single body, Zhao Gou is very disdainful.

The Song Liaoxia era and the later Song and Jin dynasties were all years when heavy armor was king.

The elite soldiers of various countries, from small soldiers to officers, are like adult wild boars, with rough skin and thick flesh and strong defenses. Not to mention short and light arrows, even strong bows and crossbows need to be fired at close range to kill.

Conventional weapons such as spears and knives are of little use in hand-to-hand combat, and must be heavy weapons such as maces, iron bones, hammers, whips, heavy axes, and knives.

Can a short arrow be used as an egg?

Even if this thing matches Zhao Song's overall strategic concept, it is very different from his current strategic concept.

Long tips and heavy arrows are the standard configuration of the current Song army. With the crossbow and firearms, no matter how many horses the enemy has, it can't drag down the current Song army's infantry formation in a short time. As for directly crushing the Song army's infantry formation, it is even more impossible.

However, the manufacture of many long bows takes time, and the manufacture of a good bow is much more troublesome than the manufacture of a dry musket. The shaping and painting of the bow body alone need to be concocted repeatedly, and the overall time needs to be calculated in years. Otherwise, how could there be a phrase "a good bow is made in three years".

Therefore, the bows and arrows held by a large number of archers in the Song army were both long and short, and in this way, the types of arrows became more and more complex.

However, the Song army's infantry bow is the standard, and the high cost of bows and crossbows is obvious to all. Even because of the existence of firearms, after a critical battle, hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows could not be defeated.

Moreover, there are different types of arrows and crossbows, and the difference between long-tipped bows and short-pronged bows is no less than that of guns of different calibers. Not only will the power of the bow and arrow be greatly reduced, but it will also damage the bow itself when the bow is drawn and the arrow is released. This is what the Ministry of War should pay special attention to. Otherwise, then I took a car order with a foreign trade company in later generations, but I got it wrong how much a sports car, how much a sedan, and how much an SUV was. But it's going to be a big mess.

"When this chapter is over, I'll be able to stop for a while." Zhi Yanzhi said to Zhao Ding.

After working together for a while, Zhi Yanzhi admired Zhao Ding's ability very much. Today's war is a threshold for Zhao Ding, and after crossing this threshold, there will be a bright future.

And looking at Zhao Ding's actions, he has obviously crossed this threshold. Just like Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other junior generals in the army, now the northwest has experienced the battle of destroying Xia, and now the battle of destroying gold is being carried out in the northeast.

In the future, figures of the older generation such as Yao Gu, Liu Yanqing, Yang Weizhong, etc., will completely retire.

The army will be the world of Yue Han, the world of Yao Youzhong, Zhe Keqiu, Liu Zhengyan, Miao Fu, Liu Qi, Liu Ziyu and others, the world of Wang Yan, Xu Huiyan, Li Yanxian, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and others, and the world of Qu Duan, Wu Jue, Wu Lin, Xue Guang, Zhang Qiong and others......

After this battle, the Zhao and Song Dynasty really got rid of the "post-Huizong" era.

And in the court, I am afraid that it will soon set off a surging tide.

Orihiko's tone was very flat, and his face was very calm, but his heart was surging. His eyes seemed to have seen the new pattern of the court in the future.

No one will remain indifferent, especially those of them who are in the hub.

Beauties have been like famous generals since ancient times, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. The years are really merciless!

Zhi Yanzhi glanced at Zhao Ding, he believed that the heart of the Quanquan monk in front of him would not be as calm as he appeared. These are scenes that many people can 'see', and as a person in the hub, no one can escape the attraction of that temptation.

"It's easy to destroy gold, but it's hard to get to the Northeast. After this battle, it will take some time for the imperial court to completely straighten out the northeast. ”

Neither of them is Mr. Morality who only knows what to do, Zhi Yanzhi and Zhao Ding talked, and they didn't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum.

What Yuan Zhen said is very true. Northeast ......" Orihiko shook his head when he thought about the information he saw, Fuzhou is already very cold in winter, and the Northeast can be much colder than Fuzhou. Even with felt and cotton, how many Han people can stand it?

But if you want to run the Northeast, you must endure the cold, and you must move people to this side, otherwise, it won't take a few years, the second Jurchen, or the second Khitan, the second Bohai, and the second Goguryeo, then you can drill out.

"So, after this war, the imperial court will definitely have to recover in two or three years, and it is impossible to rush to do something against the Western Regions." Zhi Yan said with emotion, this is just a few years, and this kind of domineering tone that is not a problem to conquer the Quartet can naturally come out of the mouth of him, a general who has been defeated repeatedly.

It's really impermanent.

"I'm not in a hurry. The westward expedition of Nayelu Dashi was done in a decent way, and it was not possible to guarantee that the surrender of the Gaochang Uighurs would be able to reach Bianliang. Xia Guan is just curious, I don't know if this Yelu Dashi will continue to go west? ”

If so, then Yelu Dashi may not be really a dragon, otherwise, it can only be a pseudo-dragon that precursor to the king.
