In the battle of the rebels besieging Miaojiazhuang, the longbow was only used in the early stage, used to suppress the archers of the rebels, so that they did not dare to approach easily, which was the key to their early departure.

In the later period, when it was all heavy infantry, it was rarely used, but in the early stage, it had a huge effect, that is, it suppressed the opponent's archers.

The siege of the city is based on the bow and arrow, and on the premise that there are no archers, what is the price of the besiegers, even if it is a huge price, it is necessary to let the archers, only the archers suppress and consume the archers defending the city, and the army can attack with swagger.

A siege is a complex and dangerous one, and even if there are only a thousand archers on the walls, they will continue to inflict damage, which is a huge blow to the siege troops.

Using archers to suppress the archers of the rebels, it sounds normal, yes, if even the original archers can't suppress it, the strong defense of the fortress is paper paste in front of the rebel siege, yes, it is paper paste, under the shroud of arrow rain, the rebels can attack the city without cover, maybe the defense of the fortress can be blocked for a while, but it cannot continue to be blocked.

However, it sounds true, it doesn't mean it's true, 500 longbowmen, suppressed 1500 shortbowmen, if it was replaced by Han Qi who had just arrived in Baozhou and didn't fight the rebels, he might think that the rebels were not trained enough, and the archers were not many, so they were indiscriminate, and they had the geographical advantage of the fortress to resist the attacks of the rebels, which was also a relatively normal thing.

But after a simple battle with the rebels, Han Qi found that the rebels were not a rabble, and from the heavy infantry, it could be seen how powerful the rebels were, and it was impossible for such elite archers to be suppressed by the regimental training that had only been trained for a month.

If you change to infantry, it is almost the same, compared to infantry, archers are the most difficult to form, generally speaking, only through more than two years of rigorous training, or the kind with higher talent,

In a month's time, the training department can suppress three times the number of archers, then there is only one possibility, that is, the archers trained in this regiment are not trained in a short time, then there must be a problem in the middle, and the problem is big.

This doubt, in fact, Han Qi had it at the beginning, and the information he got before was very suspicious, and it was very likely to be true, that is, Miaojiazhuang really violated the law, and there were dissatisfaction behind it, or there was some hostility towards Miaojiazhuang, which added fuel to the fire.

Han Qi has always been a rule-abiding person, in the army, in the Northern Song Dynasty politics, only those who abide by the rules can go further, and he doesn't like this kind of unruly.

Even if he is a little reluctant because this party is Sun Ji, but once Sun Ji has a violation, even a dark background, he will definitely not let it go.

If it was just a suspicion before, but now, it is a fact that he has seen with his own eyes, Han Qi's face immediately became gloomy,

Sun Ji next to him didn't know why Han Qi behaved like this, and his words stammered a little, just when it came to Han Qi, who was going to perform for him, the Longbow team was ready.

Sun Ji's purpose is to promote the longbow team to the Northern Song Dynasty army, in more than a month of contact with the longbow team, he really realized that the longbow team is the most needed in the Northern Song Dynasty, not only easy to form, cheap equipment, and strong attack power, if after strict training, half a year, or a little longer, let the longbow team complete all the subjects, the power that the longbow team can burst out, it is unimaginable, the strongest attack army, there is definitely a place for him.

He was about to have a seizure on the spot, and when he heard Sun Ji want to say a performance, Han Qi laughed instead of being angry, and said coldly: "Okay! ”

It's good to agree, I don't know why Han Qi is so easy to change his face, Sun Ji still wants to show it in front of Han Qi, even if he is Renzong's cronies and treatment equipment, he can't forcibly promote a weapon to the army, Renzong wants to do it, and let Zai Fu study it, which is back to Zai Fu like Han Qi.

But as long as Han Qi values it and is willing to promote it, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

On the premise of being prepared, Sun Ji also put the longbow team in order, and after a whistle, a large number of longbow teams began to gather in the field under the fortress.

The pro-soldiers became nervous, they escorted Han Qi into it, and Han Qi didn't care, this was an inevitable protective measure, he looked at these longbow teams with a gloomy face, and looked at them with a little scrutiny.

Although after training, the temperament of these regimental trainers has improved a lot, but in the eyes of real military generals, Han Qi can clearly see that most of them are very nervous, and they do not have calluses formed by long-term training, they are just a group of rabble.

Han Qi glanced at Sun Ji with some doubts, what is this, is this a deliberate cover-up, but this is not the martial arts sword in front of Guan Gong, if this is really the case, his perception of Sun Ji is another level lower, and even a murderous intent inevitably appears in his heart.

Sun Ji didn't know that in a short period of time, Han Qi's mentality would change so much, he just followed the established method and started the practice of the Longbow team.

These are the drills that the Longbow team has often done recently, and they are already quite familiar with the drills, and soon, they began to prepare.

A bow was taken out, different from the style of the recurve bow of the short bow, some of them looked like a single bow, Han Qi was slightly strange, these are the bows often used by hunters, maybe it is also a cover-up, under the premise of preconceived ideas, Han Qi's bad perception also came out, all the things that are different from normal, in his opinion, are some cover-ups.

However, the training is still normal, and Han Qi is not without a city government, although he is already unhappy, but what he promised Sun Ji is still done, he mainly wants to see how far this Sun Ji wants to do this.

When the longbowmen took out the bow and put the longbow on the ground, it attracted Han Qi's attention, the longbow is very long, almost more than one meter five, the contrast is in the ground, you can pick it up as soon as you put it away, which can save a lot of time and time for archery.

The archer's rate of fire, although not the main one, seems to be a good change from the quiver to the ground.

But soon, Han Qi understood that this should be the unique application of this special bow and arrow, he knew very well that this should not be something that no one had thought of before, the arrow of the short bow is also at the end, if it is placed on the ground and you have to bend down, it is better to use the previous quiver, which wastes more time.

Maybe this was a change in this weapon, Han Qi quickly focused his attention on other aspects, and the Longbow team seemed to be very neat.

Under Sun Ji's order, soon, the longbow team gathered and started the first wave of salvos, this longer bow, it seems that the bow power is not too big, because many people have easily pulled it up, from the subtleties, Han Qi still noticed that the strength of these shooters is really uneven.

Could it be to cover it up, this is Han Qi's preconceived idea, and it is even stronger here, and a sneer floats from his mouth, they are not afraid to show their feet, especially here for professionals like him.

Han Qi looked at it with attention again, they were not showing accuracy, but teamwork, and under the guidance of the lead archer, the longbow team began to launch.

In the salvo, which was specially trained and quite neat, when it was positioned, it began to extend the shot.

Each shot was controlled by the lead archer, so waves of arrows rained down at almost a different point in time, and layers of arrows covered the land.

At first, Han Qi was still careless, but looking at it, he was a little surprised, and he couldn't care about his previous thoughts anymore, but watched the shooting process intently.

The accuracy of the salvo, as well as the synchronicity, is the key place, the most critical is the rate of fire, only a higher rate of fire, can make up for the lack of accuracy caused by the salvo and projectile.

After the previous training, including participating in the war, these archers, they have grown a lot, even now, you can still see their immaturity, but there is no problem with the attack, the rate of fire has increased significantly, basically reaching a rate of 11 rounds per minute.

500 archers, 60 breaths, 11 shots in a row, the arrow rain is still extended here, just like a slow forward rain, this shocked Han Qi, he naturally substituted himself into the opponent's side, if it is a lightly armored archer, in the face of such a dense arrow rain, how to resist.

The projectile itself is difficult to locate, even if it is windy, it is very likely to affect the accuracy of the projectile, so only when attacking the city, or suppressing, the projectile is used, but looking at this longbowman, it seems that the projectile is a basic skill.

After thinking about it, Han Qi understood that the longbowman itself relied on range attacks, and at the same time, the projectile did not need to be aimed, and the bow and arrow inserted below, all of which combined to constitute the unique charm of the longbow, that is, at the same time, it was stronger than the shortbowman.

The specific rate of fire of the short archers, Han Qi didn't know, and asked the soldiers behind him a few words with laughter, and sure enough, he got a positive answer, the archer in the army reached the standard of 60 breaths and 4 arrows, but here, at least 3 times the speed.

The rate of fire is faster, this is probably the advantage of the longbow, if it is just like this, under the protection of the defense of the fortress, it seems that it can still be suppressed, 500 archers, under three times the rate of fire, can play the strength of 1500 archers, this point, it seems to be able to confirm what Sun Ji said before.

So if Sun Ji didn't deceive people, this weapon was very interesting, and in an instant, it reversed Han Qi's thoughts, and also made him more interested in the drill of this longbow team.
