Zhao Xin didn't want to, he went directly to the standard equipment, maybe he was not the best, according to the experience of later generations and the current situation, he had judged that the longbow would become the most suitable weapon for the Northern Song Dynasty, but the longbowman never existed alone.

In Europe, the longbow has developed to the extreme, and more than three-quarters of the troops are longbowmen in England, which must also have infantry and cavalry, to hold the core and flanks, otherwise, the high-speed mobile cavalry can easily attack the weak link of the archer, which is a common problem of all archers, even if the archer is given a melee self-defense weapon and a certain amount of armor, it will not solve this problem.

In fact, the long-range troops are like this, but the solution is not to improve in two aspects, but to focus on one side, the most important thing for the long-range troops is long-range, increase the power of the range, the rate of fire, and after giving the necessary protection, let him project the storm, enough to organize a large-scale group charge.

This point developed to the extreme of hot weapons, starting from ordinary arquebuses, step by step improvement, first of all, power, and then the rate of fire, to the time of modern rifles, platoon guns can already stop the charge of cavalry, to the First World War, the large-scale popularization of machine guns, directly let the group charge become a group to die, the emergence of high-speed automatic weapons, announced the cavalry, officially from a major strong arms, into a weak class.

The current Northern Song Dynasty, even with the addition of Zhao Xin, the development of thermal weapons also takes time, and thermal weapons are not able to be popularized and developed in a short time, the initial thermal weapons, slow and expensive, are not the most suitable choice, in this case, can be developed as a prospect, and the longbow becomes the best alternative.

The phalanx formed by replacing the arquebus with a longbow may not be comparable to the real Spanish phalanx, but it has reached a certain level, not even focusing on the power of the infantry phalanx, but focusing on the longbowmen, using infantry and cavalry as auxiliary forces, with the aim of protecting the longbowmen and giving them enough attacks to attack.

At the same time as forming a longbowman, it is still quite important to form a well-equipped and highly protective heavy infantry and some cavalry, but Zhao Xin's hands are completely equipped, and there are quite a few of them.

In the battle next to the canal, a lot of equipment can be captured, and the weapons seized from Danmu and his men, which he directly embodied, are huge in number, not to mention the real military weapons, which cannot be compared with the moon bow and jasper bow in Sun Ji's hands, and they are also real killing weapons.

Those weapons, Zhao Xin is very hot, the weapons of more than 600 people, especially the cavalry of a capital, they are all elite Western troops, and the leather armor is also above the ordinary level, as well as some hard bows and portable weapons, if they are left, it will be a complete cavalry and almost 2 infantry, these future longbow corps, have a huge protective effect.

It's just that, in the end, Zhao Xin still resisted this idea. This is a weapon, standard equipment in the army, Sun Ji and others carry one or two weapons with them, this is nothing, but swaggering with a large number of weapons, isn't that too obvious?

If the card system can be recycled, or stored, Zhao Xin must not hesitate to recycle and store, but unfortunately the card system can be realized, but it cannot be recycled, and the only thing that can be included in the card system is materials and money, money can be accumulated, and materials can only be used to make something, after defeating Danmu and others, the captured weapons and the batch of weapons that manifested were put away, and they were buried in a secluded place, instead of bringing them over.

In the Song Dynasty, perhaps in the frontier, there was a choice to hold a bow, but the hand crossbow was strictly forbidden, otherwise, when the court officials walked on the street, a 50-person hand crossbow team could pose a huge threat to him, and even a small cavalry could not resist such an attack.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons for choosing a longbow, the longbow looks like a toy, even if you get too much, it can also be explained as hunting in the mountains, how can the standard equipment work, get dozens of hundreds of spears, these formed phalanx also have a certain degree of protection, if the drawing process is a little better, weave a part of the lining inside, put it in the clothes, it can also resist the bow and arrows, enough to provide simple protection for the longbowmen.

Dozens of soft bows, or the worst kind of single bow, hundreds of wooden spears, can be explained by hunting and defending against bandits, you get dozens of sets of foot armor, hundreds of sets of cavalry leather armor, and even a large number of horses and standard crossbows, it is really the official office of the Great Song Dynasty is a decoration.

Baozhou is Renzong's territory, yes, if Zhao Xin came secretly, and was not found to be in the canal to intercept and kill, be careful, the blockade news is okay, now, the other party already knows that he came to Baozhou, and even on the canal, send troops to intercept and kill, maybe you can't directly enter the territory of Baozhou to do it, but once you give the other party a handle, but the emperor is far away, and the emperor and the officials of Baozhou can't do anything.

This is the rule, according to the calendar and conventions of the Great Song Dynasty, for this kind of standard weapons, a huge number of villages, too many people can meddle in the management, as long as there is evidence, the army can be directly cleared, when the time comes, a small Miaojiazhuang, even if all the people are soldiers, are trained to be qualified longbowmen and infantry, can not resist the close attack of the army.

It is not impossible to fight against a powerful country in a single place, but it takes time, Zhao Xin's identity, directly let the grass fall into the grass, and slowly develop this road, which is completely locked, then it can only be done step by step, through a certain speed of development, run fast, and it will not be good to pull the egg.

Sun Ji looked at the bow in his hand, this longbow is a standard longbow, when making a longbow, it is based on the height of ordinary people, between 1.6 meters and 1.7 meters, compared to Sun Ji's height of more than 1.9 meters, such a bow is really a little too small.

Sun Ji is not good at archery, and he once served as the head of archery in the forbidden army, proficient in various bows, and even as an experimenter for some new weapons, in his eyes, this bow has no output.

Pick up this bow, gently force, can't help but shake his head, too light, for now, it seems that Sun Ji, who can pull up a 12-stone bow, is less than half a stone, and the bow strength standard of later generations is a longbow of fifty or sixty pounds, it is really very weak, there is no way to exert his strength, maybe, if he is not careful, he will break the bow.

The strength of the English longbow with a layer of wood is not large, and it has to be superimposed to 3 layers, or 5 layers, to have a certain strength, because the entire technology tree and power system are different, if according to the standards of the Orientals, this is a soft bow that cannot be soft, but such a soft bow has an incomparable advantage over ordinary hard bows.

Zhao Xin, who was watching from the side, was angry and funny, sure enough, he was completely not optimistic about this bow, so let them open their eyes later.

"Try?" Zhao Xin asked.

Sun Ji shook his head, isn't this a toy, what is the use of such a light bow.

What's the use, hehe, Zhao Xin smiled slightly, and said, "Let's try it!" ”

The archers in the East have never been aware of the efficacy of the longbow, from the Qin and Han dynasties, all the way to the Tang and Song dynasties, and even the later Ming Dynasty, they have not been able to develop the longbow, among them, the Ming Dynasty is probably the most regrettable, it has lost a weapon that can exert most of its strength.

The Ming Dynasty had a lot of foreign trade, all kinds of foreigners came, there must have been some longbows, in the Ming Dynasty, flowed into China, but there has been no Chinese historical record, the reason for the representation is very simple, preconceived, even in the Song Dynasty, I didn't care much about such a weak bow, let alone in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was a musket to fight the world, and even the bow and crossbow were a lot less, not to mention these longbows that were not as good as ordinary bows.

Compared with the short bow, the longbow alone, there is really no advantage at all, but on the contrary, the speed and strength are quite amazing, and there is no material to preserve the elasticity better, because there is no need, under the action of the arm and force, the arrow shot by the longbow is more powerful and better labor-saving.

Sun Jizhen was not interested, and was about to shirk it, but when he saw Zhao Xin's expectant face, he just didn't say it directly, he was a little helpless, smiled bitterly, and said, "Where to go?" Yard! ”

"Of course I don't go to the yard, how can I experiment." Zhao Xin looked outside and walked out directly, qualified to go out, that is, Miao Yuan and Sun Ji, Sun Ji's face had a wry smile.

Of course, Zhao Xin's spiritual sense knew what Sun Ji was smiling bitterly, to be honest, before he came into contact with the longbow and thought deeply about the use of the longbow, he didn't think that the longbow was very strong, in fact, when the real effect appeared, it would definitely shock Sun Ji.
