The excavation of the tunnel is just a very small thing, and it doesn't even need the regular army to go out, Han Qi brought 12 battalions of 30,000 forbidden troops, which is a standard number, but the labor attached to these forbidden troops is almost 20,000 people.

And there are not too many people, even if it is ten shifts to replace, 3,000 people are enough, there are a lot of people, even if it is divided into 3 directions, the excavation speed of the tunnel is not slow.

In fact, the excavation of the tunnel, after Han Qi arranged it, forgot that Han Qi is a person who combines conceit and prudence, especially in the military, a hundred times that of the first battle of Haoshuichuan, it can be said that Han Qi is forever in pain, and after this battle, he is more pragmatic.

In addition to formulating a perfect plan, it also focuses on execution, good water and river battle, in fact, the entire base camp has made a plan, but the implementation is not enough, a little worse, step by step, and finally caused a catastrophe.

Sun Ji is mysterious about the method of attacking the city, and he only regards it as one of the methods, but the strength of the longbowman is real, which he personally verified, and watched, and brought back 20 instructors and 300 longbows, which is not enough, but it can start training in advance.

Soon the order began to be issued, and 600 archers were selected from the forbidden army of 12 corps.

The archers of each forbidden army are unevenly equipped, more than 800-1000, less than 300, but the 12 armies combined, there are almost more than 6000 people, almost a 10 to 1 choice, the archers who are selected to train longbows are the most elite among the forbidden army, which is equivalent to saying that from more than 30,000 troops, 600 are selected, and the archers are all one out of ten, all of them are elite marksmen, and they are not up to the level of marksmen, but they are also very good.

These people, thinking that they were going to be selected for something, got a new style of bow, and they felt that this total was too weak, first of all, the longbow was too long, and it was a little inconvenient to use, and it was the same to carry, carrying a longbow on their backs was really incomparable compared to carrying a short bow.

The biggest problem, in fact, is still in the bow power, the more elite the archer, the more you can feel the power of the bow from the feeling of the hand, in the short bow, this feeling is right, the softer the bow, the less powerful, this longbow compared with the equipment of the forbidden army, it is no longer soft to describe, it is too soft.

The longbow has been tested many times, don't be afraid to try, I'm afraid that you won't try, under Han Qi's order, the newly formed longbow team, how dare they disobey Han Qi's order, the first batch of 300 people who were selected, each with a bow, under the guidance of the instructor, started the first wave of attempts, which shocked many people.

I thought it was a soft longbow with no attack power, but it had an exceptionally good performance, especially with the help of the longbow, shooting a huge long arrow out of 200 steps, and in addition, when it was particularly easy, everything changed color.

The original cognition is difficult to break, but the facts in front of us are ironclad, and no one can overturn them.

First, with Han Qi's order, they reluctantly tried to succeed, and later, there was the excellent performance of the longbow itself, and the two were superimposed, constituting the current status quo, the longbow was very popular, and the rebellious psychology of the archers was much less.

The longbow can only play a role if it recognizes the benefits, and it is very different from the short bow, his routines, as well as the shooting and aiming methods, are completely different.

These archers, they are different from group training, long-term training, and stand out among the forbidden army, becoming the most powerful archers, they have formed an inherent cognition, no longer a blank slate.

Even if they recognize the power of the longbow, in training and shooting, they will rely more on their own experience, for example, turning projectiles into direct shots, and even some archers will start to show some individual skills.

In fact, in a short period of time, being able to master the longbow and hit the target according to the method of the short bow is also a strength, but it is not useful at all for the training of the longbow.

The advantage of the longbow lies in the huge range formed by the projectile, and because of the relationship between the soft and the prescribed routines, the terrible attack speed formed, and the method of switching to the short bow, these are not his strengths, but weaknesses.

At the very beginning, the instructors started by correcting the prescribed movements, the training speed was not fast, a simple salvo and suppressive shooting, they did not do well, obviously, with the consciousness of the short bow, did not follow the order, the salvo was relatively scattered, which is the worst for the longbow.

A sparse rain of arrows, and a dense, neat rain of arrows, seem to shoot out the same arrows, but the power is completely different, the longbow is actually aimed at a single target, or the attack power of a heavily armored target, is weaker than the short bow, relying on a salvo.

At the beginning, some elite shooters, and some were scattered, they didn't follow the guidance of the instructors, after all, the identity of these instructors was just the squad leader of the militia, and compared with the forbidden army, I don't know how much worse.

Because of the strength of the archers, among the forbidden army, the worst are often light armor soldiers, or auxiliary soldiers, baggage soldiers and the like, on the top, a small number of cavalry and heavy infantry archers are on the top of the pyramid of soldiers, not only for physical fitness requirements, but also for skills.

Everyone who became an archer, at least in the battle of several people, finally won the victory, and they were quite proud.

Fortunately, Han Qi attaches great importance to this longbow team, he has personally seen the effect of the salvo, the salvo of 500 people is very shocking, even if it is a layman, he can still see the power of the salvo.

When the squad leader reported the training effect through the channel of the pro-soldier team, soon, the 10 most thorny ones were transferred, and they were not only transferred from the longbow team, but also from the position of the archer, from a high-ranking archer, to the worst auxiliary soldier at once.

10 8 archers, Han Qi doesn't care, but the longbow team is what he cares about, Sun Ji mentioned the training process of the longbow team, and it took a month and a half to become an army, this is too slow, but mature, elite archers, such as Sun Ji himself, as long as the ideology changes, it can be used very quickly, maybe ten days and half a month.

It was this that made Han Qi care, as long as there were two thousand, or even more longbowmen, who were responsible for providing suppressive firepower, at least in the time of two incense sticks, it was equivalent to adding five or six thousand, or even more archers, which provided a huge assistant for the siege.

has come to the city of Baozhou, blocked the rebels under the city of Baozhou, successfully quelled the rebellion, only the last step is missing, conquer the city of Baozhou, and achieve victory.

Then he will do anything that helps in the siege, let alone transfer 10 archers, even if it is to disrespect the military order and cut off their heads.

Han Qi's fierce reputation is outside, coupled with the coercive measures taken against these thorns, from archers to auxiliaries, which is simply a huge punishment for low-level soldiers, not only has there been fewer opportunities for meritorious promotion, but also greater danger.

The march of the army, especially in the northwest, is very vulnerable, and the heavy infantry and other soldiers, at least have the ability and means to counterattack, and the auxiliary soldiers can only see whether they are running fast and whether their luck is good, not to mention, the difference in monthly salaries is several times.

Killing a chicken to show the monkey, this is the simplest strategy, but because of the simplicity, and the effect is outstanding, when the chicken appears, no one wants to be a chicken again, before not killing, so what about after? Will it lose its head.

After the training order of the longbow team came down, no one dared to obey it, Han Qi was also very satisfied, he saw from the demonstration of the longbow team, that is, the salvo, the perfect salvo, can perfectly exert the power of the longbow team.

These elite archers, as long as they change their minds, then it is very easy to practice together, because compared to the short bow, the longbow just changes the direct shot to a projectile, and at the same time, the elite longbowman, as the lead archer, guides the shooting of the whole team, which can be played by 20 instructors.

A simple 3-day joint practice, has shown considerable results, began to formally try, looking at the 300 longbows, intensively completed the shooting, and began to extend according to the prescribed movements, the first to be impacted, is the second batch, responsible for the kind of observation.

It is precisely because they are archers that they feel that this is terrible, they are all elite archers, bending the bow and opening arrows, it is instinct, but after changing the method of growing the bow, they can easily reach 12 arrows, which has exceeded the previous group training, after all, they can at least open 3 stone bows, and they often practice archery, and the longbow reaches such a rate of fire, it is inevitable to say otherwise

Long range, great power, and fast rate of fire, this is the advantage of the longbow, and along with these soldiers, all the archers came to see, any archer wanted to have a more powerful weapon, and the longbow was satisfied with this.

Suddenly, the longbow has become the biggest topic in the military camp in the recent period, and the reputation of the longbow is getting bigger and bigger, one top three, is the usual saying, five or six is also possible, although the average soldier thinks that this is bragging, a bow is only, how can it be three or four, or even five.

But the archers who have really used the longbow and watched the longbow drill archers, they thought it was true, they didn't believe it before, but the iron-clad fact did not allow them not to believe it, under the premise that the rebels were entrenched in Baozhou City, and they still had the last battle, changing the longbow was a safe and shortcut that could make a contribution, and after the first exercise, the number of longbow sign-ups increased significantly.
