500 more than ordinary, talented people, this is basically impossible for group training, but on the contrary, these longbowmen in front of them who look a little rustic, and even some unskilled, can do this, obviously, on the bow.

I felt that this bow was different before, but now, if you look closely, there is nothing surprising about it, the bow that has been painted black and can't see the material is completely unremarkable, and with suspicion in his heart, Han Qi asked Sun Ji to bring a bow over.

All of Sun Ji's previous performances, the purpose is very simple, that is, to make Han Qi interested, only Han Qi is interested, and there will be no more obstacles for the longbow and the fortress to enter the sequence of the Northern Song Dynasty military.

As long as it is a high-level person who has a certain understanding of military affairs, he will not refuse such a terrible weapon, Sun Ji looked at Han Qi's interest, and couldn't help but think that he had just come into contact with the longbow and despised the longbow, but the powerful, completely unreasonable longbow conquered him with strength, and now, he had to conquer this high-ranking privy deputy envoy.

Unlike when they first came into contact with the bow and then trained, Han Qi had already been conquered by the longbowmen, and now, it was just to let the excellence of the longbow be displayed in front of him, and he was full of confidence in this.

Let a longbow team member take out a spare longbow, this longbow is a spare, but it is a relatively long kind, about 1.7 meters in length, and the bow power is a standard half-stone.

There is a slight difference from the original birth, the long work is no longer bare, completely wooden structure, but painted with black lacquer, on the one hand, the lacquer can increase the strength of the longbow, on the other hand, it is more in line with the color of the army.

The original wood color may be in line with the choice of individual people, and the real army is still a little neater and better.

Started with the longbow, the longbow was very high, in the hands of the tall longbow team, it was not so obvious, but in the hands of Han Qi, a literati, it was still a little uncoordinated, and he was even more surprised that the longbow was a little light as a whole.

Han Qi is familiar with military books and can command battles, but more, he is just a Confucian general, let him charge into battle and rush to the front line of the battlefield, it is absolutely not good.

Fortunately, there is a suitable one around him, give such a longbow to his subordinates to try, when the captain of the pro-soldiers, the moment the marksman took it, his face changed This bow, too light, especially when he easily used one finger to pull the longbow, the bow force was already eight or nine ten.

Soldiers who have been trained rigorously can judge the size of the bow from the feeling in their hands, and the captain of the pro-soldier team, who is selected from thousands of soldiers, is a qualified low-level officer, and at the same time a marksman-like existence, of course, he can grasp it even more accurately, and he can even accurately judge the bow power of the longbow, half a stone, not too much.

The captain of the pro-soldier had a hunch that the bow would not be very heavy, otherwise, it would be impossible to complete so many shots, which was about 1 stone to 1.5 stones, but he didn't expect that there would only be half a stone at most, which meant something, which violated the general law.

In the army, there are soft bows with half stones, but there are not many, most of them are training bows, which cannot be used in actual combat at all, because they are too soft.

The bow that is too soft, the arrows that shoot out, do not have much power, not to mention the iron armor, even if it is ordinary armor, it is difficult to shoot through, the most important thing is that his range is very close, only a dozen meters, at most twenty or thirty meters, such a distance, there is no chance to shoot arrows, a few seconds, the soldiers who run and charge with all their strength can cross this distance, that is to say, the archers, at most as two or three arrows.

Archers with bows can't fight against heavily armed soldiers, and instead of shooting arrows, it's better to take up arms and fight these soldiers.

But this half-stone longbow seems to have changed all this, its longest range, has exceeded 200 steps, which is unimaginable in ordinary bows and arrows, even if it is a super hard bow of more than 4 stones, it is an unimaginable data, but the half-stone longbow is easily reached, which means that the performance of the longbow is very outstanding.

How exactly it was achieved, he couldn't figure out. But he also understood why the longbowman was able to shoot like this, the bow was light.

The light bow power is not a weakness, as long as the effective range can be achieved, the bow power is a little lighter, and in the archer team, it will reduce the strength of the bow and arrow, the reason is very simple, that is, persistence.

For example, back then, Sun Ji created an unimaginable terrifying target of more than 100 kills a day, and he did not take his usual bow, but changed 4 bows, of which the strongest was only two stones, and the weakest was only 1 stone, only in this way, it could play a role for a long time.

However, the longbow consumption is a little higher, not only the longbow itself, but also the longarrow, this is obviously larger than the ordinary arrow, and the longer longarrow requires more resources, but these are all small sections, as long as he is not expensive to the point that the shortbow is even more expensive than the shortbow, this longbow is an unimaginable artifact.

Han Qi got a reminder from the captain of the pro-soldier and understood the benefits of getting this longbow, but soon, Sun Ji introduced it next to him, and he obviously noticed that Han Qi didn't realize the real benefits of this longbow.

The three major benefits of the longbow, which is also summed up by Zhao Xin, are cheap, easy to train, and powerful, at this time, Han Qi just saw the power of this longbow, but this is precisely the last advantage of the longbow.

Compared with the longbow, the equipment is more powerful and even has better performance, not to mention Zhao Xin here, there are many in the Northern Song Dynasty, but those can't be compared with the longbow at all, the reason is the price and universality.

As long as the longbow is promoted and enters the Northern Song Dynasty army, that is to say, at present, 100% of the entire Northern Song Dynasty and the forbidden army can use this longbow, and a large part of the box army can also use it.

What does this mean, it means that if there were so many longbows, the number of archers in the entire Northern Song army would have greatly increased.

Sun Ji not only briefly introduced the various benefits of the longbow, such as strength, but also specifically mentioned that the forbidden army could use all the longbows.

The selection criteria of the forbidden army, there is one of the most basic, that is, a bow that can be opened with one stone, and it does not mean that it can be used with a one-stone bow and can barely be opened, and it does not have the conditions to become an archer, only those who can open 2 stones, or even three or four stones, can become an archer with strong strength.

In the middle, there is a group of people who really have no bow and arrow talent at all, and this proportion is actually not high.

In the ordinary army of the forbidden army, the proportion of archers may be one-tenth, some of the more elite, will increase to about 30%, the entire Song Dynasty 800,000 forbidden army, the number of archers is only about 120,000, plus the northwest border army and the box army, the total number will reach about 400,000, of which more than 50% are still non-lethal archers.

But now, such a group can successfully transform into longbowmen, and even those who were originally selected and eliminated can become longbowmen, conservatively estimated, at least 1 million, or even 1.5 million potential longbowmen.

That's a huge number, and even if only a small percentage succeeds, it will increase the proportion of archers in the forbidden army.

Han Qi has known the army for many years, and he deeply knows that the difference between the elite forbidden army and the ordinary forbidden army, training and generals are relatively secondary, and the number of archers is the key.

As a long-range weapon, the Archer has a sharper attack power than the infantry and has a longer range, which is quite important in the confrontation between the two armies.

If this was just a sight to behold, then Sun Ji's casual remark made Han Qi have the idea that he must thoroughly understand this longbow and incorporate it into the equipment of the forbidden army.

Because Sun Ji said, this longbow training is a simple thing, 1 month, it is almost enough, maybe in the field, in terms of experience, there are still some deficiencies, but you can pull it out to fight, at least it is no problem to defend the city.

At this moment, but Han Qi was surprised, the promotion of archers for an army is quite terrible, why is the bow club widely carried out in the northwest, the reason is very simple, under the premise of the same equipment and personnel, the proportion of archers has become the foundation of the strength of an army, which has been proven by actual combat, compared to the recruits who can be used in about half a year, 2 years, or even 3 years, the archers who can be used have become the most lacking.

In a war, the most critical is the team of archers, both sides of the enemy, when attacking, the first attack, is the archers, only the archers who attack, can completely defeat the opponent, and in a large-scale battle, once a part of the archers are annihilated, at least, in a short period of time, this army is disabled, and rarely can come in handy in the war, until the archers are replenished.

But now, the Longbow team has solved this problem, and in the Longbow team, after more than a month of training, they can open the bow in a group, isn't it a lie?

Don't say that Han Qi didn't believe it, everyone else heard it with the same expression, even if Han Qi saw with his own eyes, the shooters of the Longbow team had such and such shortcomings, when they were archery, there were still some immature places, obviously, they were not professional, and they were well-trained but only had more than a month, which was too fantastic, right?

But for the sake of caution, let the captain of the pro-soldier inquire, some questions came down, and sure enough, he didn't even know the basic attempt, and even in a sense, the longbow team could only attack under the leadership of the leading archer, and these archers were different from the ordinary archer team, and they didn't have the ability to attack by themselves.
