Who is the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhao Xin already has some eyebrows, maybe the original Zhao Xin doesn't know, he is a child, there are not many channels, even Renzong and Sun Ji don't know, because this mastermind behind the scenes is too deep. Zhao Xin, the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion, knew that it was nothing more than those who could ascend to the emperor's throne, and the most likely one was Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County.

Zhao Yunrang is actually a very tragic person, Zhenzong has no children, he was sent to the palace as an heir, and has been cultivated as a prince, because of the birth of Renzong, he was sent out of the palace, it can be said that the emperor's position is only one step away from him.

If it is simply like this, Renzong Dynasty came again, it was his son Zhao Zongshi, Renzong also had no children, so he took the young Zhao Zongshi into the palace, and later was also sent out of the palace because of Zhao Xin's birth.

However, in history, Zhao Zongshi was a little luckier than Zhao Yunrang, Zhao Xin died, he was cultivated as an heir, and later after the death of Renzong, he inherited the great unification and became Song Yingzong, the fifth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is a record of history, in fact, whether it is Yingzong, or later Shenzong, there are positive evaluations in history, not a vulgar emperor, and it can be regarded as a normal continuation of the Northern Song Dynasty, until Song Zhezong had no children, as his younger brother Song Huizong succeeded to the throne, the Northern Song Dynasty fell into a desperate situation, he was the faint monarch in the true sense of the Northern Song Dynasty.

History is history, and really walking in history, Zhao Xincai felt that there was no luck for no reason, and the reason why Zhao Zongshi was luckier than Zhao Yunrang was not good luck, but only that his father was more powerful and decisive than Zhao Yunrang's father.

Anyone can think that even ordinary people, several times, give and don't give, don't give and give, they will be angry, not to mention the royal family, it is possible to get involved in that position, as long as Renzong has no son, Zhao Yunrang's son may be the only candidate, and the throne may be the dream demon that has plagued Zhao Yunrang for decades, so he will take risks.

In Renzong, and even in the Zhenzong Dynasty, the king of Runan County was compensated because of what he had done, especially in the Renzong Dynasty, he not only promoted the lord to the highest, but also had great actual power, and is currently the Zongzheng of the clan, this position, which is inconspicuous outside, is the most important position in the entire royal family, which is also the fundamental reason why the king of Runan County was able to pull such a huge force in a short period of time, and even Wang Deyong was pulled in.

Zhao Xin has ninety percent confidence, the mastermind behind the scenes is Zhao Yunrang, one percent is uncertain, whether he doesn't know whether he is traveling through the real history, or the history that has been set aside by the time node, it is not impossible for other fierce people to really emerge.

Baozhou is safe, otherwise, Renzong will not send him to Baozhou, the northern military town is relatively stable, the transfer of small units, less than 500 people, and it is possible, at most, some hands and feet in the east, the maladministration of the feudal army, so that many troops, in the hearts of ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, the boss is more important than the emperor's order.

But no matter how many, there will always be a degree, 500 people is already the biggest limit, more than 500 people, it will definitely cause a shock to the government and the opposition, even if he succeeds, there is no way to erase the traces, they are dealing with Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin is just a prince, even if it is the only prince of Renzong, but Renzong is still there, as long as Renzong is in the position, there is no way to erase the traces of action, it will be the wrath of Renzong's thunder, any family, including the Wang family, will not choose so, this is a catastrophe.

It seems that they have to deal with less than 500 enemies, in this case, 120 longbowmen, plus the youth and strength of Miaojiazhuang itself, should be enough, they are enough to resist any class below 500.

Longbowmen, is a very test of combat methods, strength and persistence, is the key to longbowmen, under the command of elite archers, the team members do not need to think about shooting there, do not need to consider accuracy, must consider the basic skills.

A qualified longbowman, they must reach at least 12 arrows a minute, in 12 minutes, complete 130 arrows, a maximum of 170 arrows, such a shooting density, a longbowman is at least equivalent to two or three short bowmen, under the premise of having armor-piercing heavy arrows, even heavy cavalry does not dare to do it easily.

Is there a heavy cavalry in the Northern Song Dynasty, even the famous Jingsai Army has disappeared in the long river of history, perhaps in the various military towns of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are scattered, no more than one heavy cavalry, but if you want to concentrate the heavy cavalry of these military towns, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

If Zhao Yunrang can really include all the treasures of the military town and the heavy cavalry, then there is no need to assassinate him Zhao Xin at all, relying directly on the support of the army, there is a huge possibility of ascending to Dabao.

Even if the Northern Song Dynasty has such and such shortcomings, one thing is worth affirming, that is, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, there has never been a military coup to obtain the throne, and the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the later Southern Song Dynasty, have reached the extreme of control over military generals, differentiation, checks and balances, and even suppression, to the extreme, even Renzong cannot bring the border towns together, let alone others.

Because of this cognition, Zhao Xin's starting point from the very beginning was to deal with a small group of elites of no more than 500 people, so consolidating himself has become the key.

As far as the ability of the longbowman itself is concerned, this part of the young and strong, because of its own quality, has already walked on the road, excellent foundation, coupled with scientific training, a large part of the people have hunting experience, in this case, into the state faster, the fastest, can already reach 12 arrows in a minute, the same as a qualified longbowman.

This part of the people, there are more than 40, of which 20 are the Miao family's family, and the remaining more than 20 are the old hunters of Miaojiazhuang, they rarely can get compound bows, mostly some soft bows and self-made bows, this kind of self-made bows are actually similar to the single longbow, but the production is not as scientific as the longbow, so sophisticated, as long as a little try, it can reach the normal standard.

Others, the slowest is also 6 arrows, this number, placed in the middle of the short archers, is already quite qualified, the standard of short archers is only 60 breaths 4 arrows, and the 6 arrows have already become elite.

The biggest difference between the longbow and the short bow is that the rate of fire cannot be compared, the elite longbowmen can guarantee more than 15 arrows, if it is simply a throw, the maximum limit can even reach seventeen or eighteen arrows, on the short bow, there is no advantage, these are meaningless waves on the short bow, and when placed on the longbow, it becomes an advantage.

The dense rain of arrows will form layers of arrow curtains, which will have a large-scale lethal effect on all soldiers with and without armor, and any troops who want to rush in front of the longbow team will have to endure at least 5 rounds of arrow rain.

5 rounds of light cavalry with extremely fast speed, if you change to heavy cavalry, or even heavy infantry, this round will be expanded to several times, heavy cavalry because of equipment problems, the speed is not fast, on the battlefield, they also rely on heavy armor to win, heavy infantry is even more so.

Holding the longbow range, the standard range of about 220 steps, if the heavy infantry wants to finish, it takes 280 breaths, what does this mean, the longbow can shoot 40 rounds, this is still an armor-piercing heavy arrow, if you change to a light arrow, it can even reach 50 rounds.

120 longbowmen, 40 rounds can shoot close to 5000 arrows, as long as the armor-piercing heavy arrow can break the armor, any heavy infantry facing the longbowman, is a nightmare, the longbowman can easily defeat him, and even in a shameful way like flying a kite.

Historically, the most threatening infantry for the longbow, never the infantry, the use of cavalry advances, in the longbowmen did not carry out a sneak attack, is the only means against the longbow, in fact, with the spearmen and a large number of light cavalry under the premise of the battle, England's longbowmen have become an inexplicable class of troops for centuries.

Under the premise that the front cannot be dealt with, the only way to choose the side, or even a roundabout, is to limit the number of English longbowmen by limiting raw materials. The lack of longbowmen does not mean that England has no solution, England's population and national strength are not enough to make longbowmen towards 200,000, 300,000, or even 1 million, which is the only fundamental reason that restricts England from taking the whole of Europe.

This point does not exist in the Northern Song Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of hundreds of millions of people, brilliant civilization, and huge manufacturing power makes the longbow the sharpest knife in the Great Song Dynasty, which is not only seen by Zhao Xin, a time-traveler who studies history, Sun Ji and Xue Yu, who have been in battle for a long time and have achieved the ultimate in the field of soldiers, also recognize the results.

According to the development of the English longbow, the next step is to go out of defense, wearing chain mail, holding 6 meters, or even 7 meters of spear longbowmen, flexible and mobile, simple and focused defense of light cavalry, there are these two types of troops to protect the flanks, longbowmen can shoot endlessly, this is the correct way for longbowmen to develop.

The special status quo makes it impossible for Zhao Xin to develop such an obvious regular army, and toys like longbows are easy to say, and even now, he has not put standard armor on the longbowmen, which is still similar to the appearance of Orion and militia, in order to guard against Zhao Yunrang.

Zhao Xin dared to go to the regular army except for Sun Ji and others, Zhao Yunrang would definitely make things big behind his back, and when the time came, the surrounding military towns would suppress the army in the name of raising and storing sergeants and plotting against him, and Renzong would have no other solution except to announce Zhao Xin's identity.

The opponent who has completely torn his face will definitely not give Renzong a chance, they will play a time difference, and when the time comes, everything will be fair, even if Renzong pursues it, it will be against the entire bureaucracy, and it will not have any effect.

This road doesn't work, in fact, Zhao Xin didn't want to take this road, the reason is very simple, he is not rebelling to fight the world, that's right, light cavalry and spearmen can indeed protect longbowmen well, but compared with another method, it is not a little worse.

Of all the war modes, what is the one that best brings out the strength of the archers, and what is the method that allows the archers to attack with impunity?

The results are coming. That's right, the method that Zhao Xin thought of was to defend the city.
