The crisis has begun to come, in the chaos of the cavalry, the Song army has been prepared, in fact, they have already arrived at the corresponding position in the night, and later, after determining the direction of the Western Xia army, they advanced in the direction of this horse trap, and quietly arrived at a suitable offensive position.

The Western Xia army is all iron harriers, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong, although the battle of Xingqing Mansion is quite tragic, and the deliberate retention of the Western Xia nobles in the later period has left at least more than 1o million elite troops.

Among these veterans, they are all excellent in combat effectiveness, and even above the previous ones.

Among the more than 1o thousand Iron Harriers and the pro-guard forbidden army, it is not necessarily the best equipment of all kinds, and it is necessary to balance the requirements of all aspects, and even the soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the pro-guards may not be stronger than that of ordinary iron harriers.

But when they wanted to go out to fight, or even deal with the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to behave better in front of the Liao lord, they took the initiative to select the most powerful soldiers and generals, and at the same time, equipped with the best equipment.

Among the 1o thousand, or even 150,000 equipment, the best ones were selected, and basically the most elite armor in the entire Western Xia was brought to them, but it was useless, and the gap in technology could not be solved by careful selection.

The Western Xia was just a nomadic people, except for Yuan Hao, that is, from the Northern Song Dynasty in the past, they learned so that the Western Xia had a good exhibition, and even had a preliminary state form.

However, the basic things are not something that simple people can cover up, the iron quality of Western Xia is limited, and even the Liao State is not as good, and the general standard long arrows can penetrate the armor of the heavy cavalry at certain angles, which has been confirmed.

Han Qi had prepared before, but this preparation was more about guarding against the Liao State, and when Zhou Wenxiu sent detailed information, especially the elite of the 30,000 Iron Harriers, Han Qi had already made adjustments.

The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing the other, can win a hundred battles, now this is the case, the Northern Song Dynasty knows a lot about the army of the Western Xia, but the Western Xia knows nothing about the Northern Song Dynasty.

I only thought that there were only 20,000 people, responsible for driving 450,000 cattle back, but in fact, where was the Northern Song Dynasty, there were only a few thousand soldiers and more than 10,000 herdsmen, and the main force of 40,000 was ambushed here.

In order to ensure efficiency, this time, 10,000 of the longbowmen dispatched were carrying heavy longbowmen.

Ordinary longbows are generally about half a stone, but in the original forbidden army, there are a considerable number of archers, and these people are not many, and 40,000 people can still make up 10,000 people.

Let these people use a half-stone longbow, the durability is higher than that of ordinary qualified archers, usually according to the ordinary longbow to train, at a specific time can still use a one-and-a-half-stone heavy longbow.

The heavy longbow is a variant of the longbow proposed by Zhao Xin, which is mostly used for multi-layer composites, and even adds some longbows made of steel materials, which are more powerful, penetrating, and powerful, almost comparable to ordinary rifle crossbows, and can also use professional armor-piercing arrows.

Of course, such a longbow is not without weaknesses, weapons that do not have any weaknesses do not exist at all, and some are only relative.

The weakness of this heavy longbow is very simple, one is the weight, compared to the ordinary short bow, under the premise of the same tension, it is much heavier than the short bow, this heavy heavy longbow is not easy to carry, and it is rarely used in the field except for fixed defense.

If it weren't for the battle against the Western Xia army, which was a pure field encounter, carrying such a heavy longbow would definitely slow down the pace.

At the same time, the pulling force of the heavy longbow will reduce the shooting and staying power, and the elite can shoot about 5o arrows.

After talking about the weakness of this heavy longbow, the advantage is also very obvious, otherwise, Han Qi would not have specially carried 10,000 bodies.

The range of the longbow itself is very terrifying, the ordinary half-stone longbow can already be equivalent to the range of the three-stone short bow, and the pulling force has been increased by 3 times, which does not mean that the range of this longbow can reach three times, but this heavy longbow has a range of 2.5 times when using standardized longarrows.

The longer the range, the more powerful the penetration, and at close range, it is even more obvious, without enough kinetic energy, gravity and air resistance, it will not be able to support this long arrow to continue to advance.

The penetration power of the longbow itself is very terrifying, several times more than that of ordinary longbows, and it still uses special heavy arrows.

This kind of bow and arrow, which is specially made of fine iron, is all hard steel with a hardness coefficient of 5.8 or more, and is forged by a unique method, which has strong penetrating power, and the unique arrow design refers to some modern longbow arrows in later generations.

In short, the scientific and technological content is very high, and the research in some fields in the 21st century has entered a very terrifying level.

Using scientific methods to interpret Zhou Black Duck, using scientific methods to interpret fried chicken, in such an interpretation, finally reached a terrible level, these arrows, it looks simple, but I don't know how many times I calculated, the best arrows obtained, taking into account the penetration and degree.

Zhao Xin is better than a gourd to draw a scoop and get this thing out, as for Han Xin, he doesn't care how much scientific and technological content is contained in this arrow, for example, how much rocket dynamics, fluid dynamics, and even the characteristics of surface theory are used, he just needs to know whether this is good or not.

Manufacturers and users, these are completely different, even very different systems, knowing how to use computers, and knowing how to make chips, these are two completely different concepts.

In the 21st century, almost everyone can use a computer, but if you want to say that you can simply repair and load a computer, there are hundreds of times less, and even more so the most cutting-edge talents.

There was once a movie theory that when humans were extinct due to disasters, and later exhibited intelligent creatures, even if the technology was still at a very low level, they could use firearms.

At first, it may just be holding this firearm to smash people, but later, I accidentally learned that this firearm can be loaded with bullets, and now this bullet can be shot out to hit people, a series of past, as long as you learn these experiences, you can use it.

That's what Han Qi did, although the long arrow looked weird, as long as the effect was good, there would be no problem.

In fact, when I took it back to test this long arrow, this long arrow performed very well, and within 1oo steps, it could penetrate the step armor, which was the Northern Song Dynasty standard step armor.

The distance of 2oo steps, penetrating the armor of Western Xia, is no problem.

The army of the Northern Song Dynasty, well-trained, at the moment when the order was given, all the longbows were ready.

Open the bow and open the arrows, and about 20,000 longbowmen appear in countless arrow rains, which is also necessary, and they need to cover the attack, the iron harrier of Western Xia is a full armor of men and horses, but the armor of the cavalry is of good quality, and it is relatively thick, and the vest is much worse.

The iron armor of Western Xia is not good, it is impossible to fully protect the vest, in some special joints and turning places, it is easy to go wrong, cover the attack with a longbow, even if the hit rate is not high, there is also a certain amount of damage, especially for horses.

No matter how well-trained a horse is, it is impossible to endure the attack of weapons like a human, which is also the source of heavy cavalry.

As long as the light cavalry is attacked, after the horse is injured, it is easy to rush the camp, and only the heavy cavalry covered in iron armor can charge in a group on the battlefield.

The best way to deal with the cavalry is to be covered by the rain of arrows, ordinary light cavalry, can only rely on the degree, dodge the rain of arrows, only the heavy infantry, can withstand the attack of the rain of arrows, rush through the layers of obstacles, attack those infantry behind them, this is also the root of the existence of heavy cavalry.

Before, only some people heard movement, and in the wild, it could be a kind of auditory hallucination, but the sound of these arrows, that was the real sound, was the sound of the attack.

The whizzing bow and arrow came, and the commander's face changed, this should be the archers of the Northern Song Dynasty, if it was changed before, they might not care, for the heavy cavalry, I don't know how many similar attacks are there, and it is almost customary.

Before blowing up the city wall, the archers of the Northern Song Dynasty showed their might, at that time, he was in the rear, and the follower Yuan Hao saw the terrible power of this archer with his own eyes, and it can be said unceremoniously that the infantry armor, or leather armor, could not be stopped at all, even if it was the iron armor of the iron harrier, it could not protect the horse.

Sure enough, when the rain of arrows fell, the horse's screams began to come, and some unprotected parts, key parts, or unlucky ones, were drilled in by the longbow from a specific angle, and the horses that were wounded by the arrows quickly began to run wildly, directly breaking up the camp.

The cavalry officer was bitter in his heart, he couldn't see it now, he was still in such a state, and it would take a certain amount of time to stabilize his position, and the general immediately issued a series of orders.

However, the loss at this point in time must be borne down, as long as the chaotic time is as little as possible, the loss can be reduced.

However, then, when the screams of the people came, he wondered what it was, so powerful, that it could actually hurt people, maybe someone was unlucky and was hit by this horse that suddenly appeared.

But one after another voices came, and he froze, could it be that the archers of the Northern Song Dynasty also had lethality for cavalry, which was a very terrible thing, and the heavy cavalry faced such bows and arrows were as dangerous as the light cavalry, what does this mean.

The Western Xia generals in charge of the command were a little at a loss, they thought that the protection was strong, enough to protect their armor, and there was no effect This is a thing he has known, but if the Northern Song Dynasty has such a big killing weapon, why is the iron harrier still useful.

Even the elite, carefully selected armor could not stop the attacks of these archers, and they were not going to be finished?
