The flexibility and diversity shown by the longbow shocked Han Qi, he had overestimated the performance of the longbow as much as possible, but he didn't expect that the longbow was not only a defensive class, but also a terrifying offensive class.

This also proves from the side that the regimental training is not long, and it takes less than a month of training to replace it with a real archer, and the ordinary defensive offensive is already proficient, and the main training is field combat.

When attacking against three times his non-heavy infantry, the longbow has to perform brilliantly, born from the three-stage shooting method, so that the longbow only shoots an average of 6 rounds in 60 breaths, but it retreats back 45 meters, some people may think that 45 meters is nothing, but for the soldiers attacking on the battlefield, it is equivalent to the time they charge, which is extended a lot.

This is also the source of the invincibility of the English longbow, he can be flexible, and he can cooperate with defensive troops, attack, all hands over to the longbow, no one can survive the rain of bullets and bullets of the longbow, when the loss reaches a certain level, the attacker itself collapses.

Unless, a brave and tireless army, on the premise of suffering 50-70% of the degree of wounds, still fights to the death, but in the end after crossing the defense line of the longbow, even if it is three or four times the longbow, in the end the rest is about the same personnel as the longbow, and everyone is wounded, and there is no formation.

The longbow will hold the equipped long knife and light shield and counterattack, and when the time comes, it will depend on the quality of all aspects, in short, some fight.

The English longbow was able to suppress Europe for an era, which shows that his strength is not that there are few English, and the size of the longbow has always been maintained in the order of hundreds of thousands, coupled with the terrible longbow, the requirements for wood are higher.

In order to prevent the development of the United Kingdom, all countries have restricted the export of purple shirtwood, which is restricted as a strategic material, otherwise, the British would have unified Europe.

But this problem, in China, in the Northern Song Dynasty, did not exist at all.

Hundreds of millions of people, facing the standard of letting go of the longbow, may make a monster, 1 million, 2 million, 3 million.

The restrictions faced by the British did not exist at all in the Northern Song Dynasty, the number of people was not a problem with a strong population base, as long as there was money, it was no problem to transfer 10 million troops, as for materials and manufacturing.

The variety of common hardwood wood found throughout northern China was sufficient to equip a large number of longbows, and at the same time, the importance of this wood could be cultivated on a large scale.

The United Kingdom is an island country, the climatic conditions are different from the mainland, except for the purple shirt, there is no other hardwood, the purple shirt wood is not suitable for cultivation in the UK, they have no way.

China is different, the land is vast, with a variety of different climatic conditions, almost the whole world, most of the trees can grow here, even the purple shirt can be.

It's just that Europe is too far away, and if you want to get saplings, it may take ten or twenty years, and you may not be able to get them, so you can settle for the next best thing, and use substitutes, whether it is elm, oak, or ash, and the material is not a problem at all.

A single longbow man can't beat a short bow at all, it will be beaten, 10 short bows may still be a little stronger, but when the number rises to 100, or even more, and the covering attack is generated, the longbow will have the advantage.

This kind of super attack team, which is itself a group, is really huge, and no one can bear it.

Doing the math, the only more restrained longbow team, I'm afraid is the formation of heavy cavalry or heavy infantry, Liao and Western Xia, in terms of iron smelting technology, and the Northern Song Dynasty has a huge gap, in the case of armor-piercing bows and heavy arrows, it is likely to be mutually restrictive, there is no heavy cavalry or infantry can kill the longbowmen without damage.

The heavy armored cavalry is a trump card for the Liao State and the Western Xia, when the Iron Harrier was first established, there were only 3,000 people, and later expanded, it will not exceed 30,000 people, and the Tielin Army is a little more, after all, the Liao State is a more powerful country than the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, hundreds of thousands.

If there is now a class of troops that can use the method of 1 for 1, or even 3 for 1, to completely annihilate these two ace arms, I am afraid that the Northern Song Dynasty will wake up with laughter.

With 1 million, or 2 million sacrifices, to annihilate the two trump cards, even if there is no longbow team, the original strength of the Northern Song Dynasty is enough to bulldoze the Western Xia and Liao.

Not to mention, the performance of the longbow team, as long as it is not against the Iron Harriers or the Iron Forest Army alone, with the cooperation of some heavy cavalry and spear team, blocking these heavy armored cavalry, 1 for 1, or even a lower exchange ratio is possible.

A vigorous large-scale military training began, although there were some violations of the regulations, but these longbows were too cheap, the price of 200 wen each, even if it was 10,000 equipment, it was only 2,000, for Han Qi, who concentrated 30,000 troops and presided over the counterinsurgency with full powers, it didn't matter, but it was an arrow, and he could go through the military system, except for being a little longer, there was no other problem.

But in this way, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, and they all agreed from top to bottom, and a change of dress without going through the Privy Council began, and the longbow became the object of contention, and some commanders and envoys even stood in front of Sun Ji and asked him how long the longbow would be in place.

Ouyang Xiu entered Baozhou City, restored the calm of Baozhou, publicized the list, flew through other cities, collected Baozhou refugees, and of course, more importantly, counted some documents and the like.

I have to say that Wei Gui is ruthless enough, after he entered Baozhou, he knew that he could not be spared, and all the official documents, records, records, etc. in Baozhou were all emptied.

As a government official, although he doesn't know what is important and what is not, he makes no difference, and every one of them is destroyed.

This has caused Ouyang Xiu's current troubles, land, houses, contracts, shops, these owners and owners, to determine is a long-term and complicated work.

The city of Baozhou was captured, and the turmoil in Baozhou has not completely ended, but with the intervention of the government and the entry of troops and officials, Baozhou will definitely return to calm.

The powerful state apparatus of the Northern Song Dynasty, once turned on, would show terrible power, first from all sides, and then from the military and political sides, which would have an effect in the next year or two.

Zhao Xin was also obviously relieved, the Baozhou Mutiny, from the beginning to the present, has been almost 3 months, 100 days, is the limit of what the Northern Song Dynasty can do, in fact, with the disconnection of intelligence between the Liao and Song Dynasty, the Liao State has begun to doubt.

Especially in the month before and after the New Year, the Liao State sent a total of 24 batches of 400 spies to the Northern Song Dynasty to investigate what happened in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Now, everything is over, and the border officers are also relieved, as long as there is no turmoil in the Northern Song Dynasty and give the Liao State a guts, they will not dare to attack, at most they will exert pressure, which they have long been accustomed to.

The Imperial City Division finally let go, and normal exchanges between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State resumed, and the news of the mutiny spread out, and even the news that the mutiny was quelled.

This is the intention of the Imperial City Division, if only the news of the mutiny is transmitted, maybe the Liao State will move, even if there is no internal constraint, for the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not good news, the Liao State is strong after all, even if on the border of the Northern Song Dynasty, there is a chain-like fixed defense, which can be resisted, but a large amount of money is spent and military spending, which will make the Northern Song Dynasty, which is itself a crisis system, become difficult.

After the system of the Imperial City Division was restored, the communication system was also restored, and Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were the first to report to Bianliang the news that Baozhou was conquered and the Baozhou mutiny was over.

It took 2 days to transmit it to the capital, in the capital, the undercurrent surged, some people felt that the speed was too fast, the news of the former Yunlong Army, after it reached the capital, the personnel in the capital all sighed the strength of the rebels, which is almost no different from the tens of thousands of forbidden troops, if the other party insists on letting go, even if it is Han Qi, it is difficult to take it quickly.

However, it has only been a long time, Ouyang Xiu's persuasion has not had an effect, everyone thinks that when they are going to fight a protracted war, who knows that this Baozhou City has actually been conquered, is this a fantasy

But eight hundred miles is urgent, even if it is a deputy privy council like Han Qi, he doesn't dare to joke about such a military event, it is related to the head.

In fact, Wang Deyong and the Wang family of Runan County, they knew the news that the Baozhou Mutiny had failed earlier, and they were not breached in Miaojiazhuang, and after the Wang family's personnel began to roll out, they already knew.

They can't figure it out anyway, why there has been a rebellion, and even tens of thousands of elites have gathered in Baozhoucheng, except for Tokyo Bianliang, such a sudden mutiny, any city can be defeated, even including the Daimyo's Mansion, why, but they can't capture Miaojiazhuang, is it, this prince is really determined by heaven, blessed by God and Buddha.

At this point, King Runan absolutely can't believe it, if there is, it should be him, why is this Zhao Xin.

But after such a big thing as the Baozhou Mutiny was brought out, it was even suspected by Renzong, although Renzong seemed to have no choice, but Wang Deyong's constant tossing has proved this.

Renzong is within the scope of the rules, constantly tossing, even if it can't be degraded, but it can make you tired, at this time, and then touch the softest place of Renzong, it will be a big thing.

From the decision to give up and get the family team out of the mud pit of Baozhou, they began to die down, in the military, in Baozhou, and even in the whole of Hebei, people related to this began to dissociate themselves, of course, they will not block this rush into the capital, but in the hearts of some people, in the face of this happy news, some are just a sigh.
