Chapter 118: The Strength of the Forbidden Army
Zhao Xin knew very well that the mutiny of the Yunyi Army would not occur soon, this was his only chance, otherwise, if the Yunyi Army rebelled now, Zhao Xin would have to run as far as he could. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the premise of figuring out everything, there is no need to blindly expand the personnel of the Longbow team, when the personnel of the Longbow team are stable and become a little more elite, they are the first batch, and they are also native to the hometown, representing the cornerstone of the future control of the entire Longbow team, and mixing people from other places in the early stage, which is a bit radical.
The characteristics of the longbow make it very fast for him to get started, if he is eager, he can train some bows a little, know how much strength, how many angles, he can come in handy, and even the queue or something can be suspended, so that under the leadership of elite archers, he can also exert eighty or ninety percent of his power.
In the first batch, they had been trained to a sufficient height, and then, in a one-to-three ratio, they were to expand the number of men to 480 and recruit some stronger spearmen.
Zhao Xin's environment made it impossible for spearmen to hold instruments for training, and iron spear tips and armor could not be used, but they could be adapted.
For example, holding a 2 zhang long wooden stick, adaptive training, holding a spear has a problem, the wooden stick is no problem, in the future, ready to defend, but also must have a certain field ability, spearmen and archers cooperation, is the best cooperation, the combination of the two offensive and defensive.
The total number of people will reach the level of 700 people, for Miaojiazhuang, so many strong, 2,800 people in Miaojiazhuang, 15 to 45 years old strong, a total of six or seven hundred people, including some thin and sick, can make up 600 people is good.
If you really increase your efforts, Miaojiazhuang can draw out 300 people, which is already the limit, which is also consistent with the general mobilization capacity, ten draws.
Fortunately, Miaojiazhuang is not just a village, he is also the core of the surrounding ten miles and eight townships, just like the central city and central market town in later generations, every 5 days, Miaojiazhuang will usher in the market, and the villagers of ten miles and eight townships will come here to catch up with the market, buy daily necessities, or sell some products.
You can't just focus on Miaojiazhuang, you can think of a way to ten miles and eight townships, so that down, you must have a suitable name, association self-protection is a good method, Miao family also has the basis for association, whether it is the status of Miaojiazhuang, or the background, go to the state capital yamen for the record, and go through the regimental training where it is, you can form an association.
The association of the Northern Song Dynasty is obviously different from other eras, the association of social soldiers is already a paramilitary force, although it cannot rise to the height of the forbidden army, will not use standard equipment, just some ordinary swords and guns, and even bows can be had, and even partial crossbows.
Of course Zhao Xin will not have a crossbow, so it is too eye-catching, the society with a crossbow not only needs to be established for a long time, but also needs to help the Northern Song Dynasty military in the war, so that it can be owned.
The longbow looks weird, but most of them are about half a stone, that is, at the level of a soft bow, and the scale of 700 people is not too conspicuous, which becomes the only way to solve the problem.
As long as there are more than 20,000 people around, about 600 can be selected, he has at least a strong ability to protect himself, 120 and 480, don't look at it is only 4 times, and he can deal with personnel, not only four times, but more.
This is a later story, now, Zhao Xin still has a problem to solve, the role that intelligence can play is just a matter of time to give him a reaction, the main thing is the last word, 700 people are theoretically enough to protect, and the power increase brought by the longbowmen is enough to satisfy Zhao Xin, but there is no bottom in his heart
Sun Tzu's Art of War has clouds, he knows himself and knows that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, what he knows is only his own strength, and he does not know the strength of the Yunyi Army, the strongest forbidden army in the Northern Song Dynasty, a team of 2,500 people, and even a team of 5,000 people, he always has to understand their combat effectiveness.
In the Northern Song Dynasty Renzong, the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army has not yet degenerated, and the vast majority of the forbidden army's combat effectiveness is strong in the box, and there will be slight differences in the middle, the strength of the longbowmen, Zhao Xin knows, first of all, the strength of the Yunyi Army, must also be understood, so that they can be invincible in the next battle.
Unconsciously, it was already dark, and Zhao Xin stayed in the house for a few hours, but fortunately, in a few hours, he had sorted out everything, ate a few bites of food casually, and then walked out.
Qu Yang appeared directly and was about to ask where Zhao Xin was going, when Zhao Xin first asked, "Where is Sun Zhiyu?" ”
"In the left atrium!" After Qu Yang answered, he hid his figure, as long as Zhao Xin did not leave the compound, he could move freely in the courtyard, let alone go to Sun Ji, by Sun Ji's side, but he was safer than him.
Sun Ji also just had dinner, a day of training, not at all tired, but very excited, a new force of only 120 people is about to take shape, he has been watching the gradual formation of this force, as he expected, even above his expectations, this force, absolutely epoch-making, 120 can already see the vision, he is considering, what kind of way to use the book.
There was a knock on the door, Sun Ji opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Xin, a little surprised, Zhao Xin had never looked for him at night, and he didn't expect that Zhao Xin asked directly, but it was about the news of the Yunyi Army.
The Yunyi Army is the regular force of Baozhou, and it is also an important fulcrum army in Baozhou, Baozhou is the place where Renzong has been operating for a long time, as a treatment device, Sun Ji, who has also come to the Yunyi Army to perform tasks, and even once came to temporarily bring a period of the Yunyi Army, and is more familiar with the Yunyi Army.
In terms of establishment, the Yunyi Army belongs to the forbidden army, or the more elite kind, all kinds of basic equipment of the forbidden army, the Yunyi Army has it, and it is on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties, some large-scale siege equipment are available, this is his most terrifying place, with large-scale siege equipment, the Yunyi Army has the ability to attack the city defense.
At the same time, the most important thing is that the Yunyi Army has rich battlefield experience, and some of his 2 battalions, last year, also participated in the anti-grass valley on the border of Liao, and confronted the elite of Liao, although there were many casualties, but also a lot of gains.
Sun Ji was a little strange, why Zhao Xin came over and asked him about the news of the Yunyi Army, but he still knew everything and said everything, but looking at Zhao Xin's expression, even if Zhao Xin tried to cover it up as much as possible, the obvious loss still made Sun Ji see it.
About 1 hour later, Zhao Xincai came out of Sun Ji's house with a blank face, the strength of the Yunyi Army was much stronger than he had expected, this was a well-equipped and experienced feudal army, and its combat effectiveness was also in the forefront among the forbidden armies.
It can be said unceremoniously that if the Cloud Wing Army sends out 300 people and 150 elite longbowmen, in the field, it may be the Cloud Wing Army that wins, they are not only quite well-equipped, but also have a fairly high proportion of foot armor.
Armor-piercing heavy arrows can deal with step armor, but if the number of foot armor is too large, not every armor-piercing heavy arrow can deal with step armor, heavy armor protection, or will make the archer lose density and lethality, in this case, most of them will be missed, some of them will be on target, and because of the problem of angle and strength, they will not be able to break the armor of the step armor, and only a small number of them can work.
On the battlefield, it is never one plus one equals two, and the weapons that can be threatening do not necessarily have to be restrained, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuejia army used the hook and sickle to break the abduction horse and the iron Futu, but at that time, it was built on the strong military discipline of the Yuejia army, and the army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty would immediately be beaten out by the Jin State.
Zhao Xin didn't dare to guarantee that the longbowmen he had trained in a short period of time could confront the strong army of the feudal society in such a cold weapon era, so there was only one choice, to strengthen the defense, not to fight with the Yunyi Army, but to turn to siege warfare.
