Zhou Wenxiu's contact did not make Han Qi very embarrassed, he took the city, and left some detailed information at the agreed place, which Zhou Wenxiu slowly sorted out along the way, and wrote out, not only including all the combat process between the Liao army and Western Xia, but also some places where a large amount of property was hidden, which is quite detailed.

After the secret agents of the Imperial City Division got the news, they immediately spread the news to the Northern Song Dynasty through special channels, and it was transmitted to Han Qi as soon as possible.

Han Qi has been waiting for all this for a long time, his senses for Zhou Wenxiu are a little complicated, what step Zhou Wenxiu can do, in Han Qi's opinion, there is no bottom, but in any case, it is much better than the worst result expected before, this is also Han Qi's only confidence.

The war between the Liao State and the Western Xia, if there was no Zhou Wenxiu, the Liao army would have been defeated, which came out through various analyses and judgments on the characteristics of Yuan Hao.

To be honest, even Han Qi didn't expect that when he faced Yuan Hao from one side and from another, Yuan Hao would be so terrifying, if he had known Yuan Hao's character and military ability earlier, maybe Hao Shuichuan would not have been defeated.

Taking a deep breath, he removed all these distractions, now, the past has passed, history is always to be tasted, not regretted, he is now based on a new height.

Even if Zhou Wenxiu can't do what they expected, he Han Qi alone can turn the world upside down in Western Xia, because Yuan Hao didn't realize that he, Han Qi, was already eyeing Western Xia.

I got the secret letter from the Imperial City Division, a lot, a thick package, a total of 12 letters, all of which were written by Zhou Wenxiu in his spare time, not only including the entire marching route and battle process, but also some locations where the treasure was hidden.

Han Qi doesn't care about this, compared with the final result, all the processes are secondary, this is the priority, Han Qi understands it very well.

After watching the battle before the desert and the battle in Helan Mountain, Han Qi still couldn't believe that all this was true.

But no one thought that Zhou Wenxiu would do so well, just with some materials provided by the Northern Song Dynasty, it is true that in the middle, there is a new type of heavy cavalry armor, this new type of armor, in this battle, played a vital role, but no matter what, there are only less than 2,000 sets.

Han Qi still clearly remembers that in the discussion of support for Zhou Wenxiu, this plan and decision put forward by Fu Bi also encountered controversy, and he voted against, after all, this is cavalry equipment.

The cavalry of the Liao State is very strong in itself, and with such a heavy cavalry armor, what will happen, when I think of the 500,000, or even 1 million cavalry equipped with such armor, what will it be like when they rush over, isn't this adding chaos to the Northern Song Dynasty.

In itself, he wanted to calculate the enemy, but in the end he was less calculated by the enemy, and the reason why some of the cavalry equipment related to the Northern Song Dynasty has been shelved is because of his applicability.

There are only a few cavalry in the Northern Song Dynasty, even if each cavalry doubles its strength and how much combat power can be increased, but for Western Xia and Liao, not to mention double, an increase of one percent is already very terrifying.

For this reason, the Privy Council even discussed it many times, but in the end, an official from the Foundry Department gave the answer, this kind of armor, the whole set is made of fine iron, which is very powerful, but it is difficult to make. After getting the finished product, they tried to imitate it, but unfortunately none of them succeeded.

I have never heard of this, the high-ranking officials of the Privy Council, but they know that the Daimyo's blacksmith workshop is very efficient, and the price of iron and fine iron can be overwhelmingly low, which is their unique secret recipe, but a fine iron equipment cannot even be imitated, which is a bit amazing.

I have repeatedly confirmed that the officials of this Foundry Division are not talking nonsense, and there are many divine soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as the moon bow of the previous king of Runan County, as well as those weapons held by Sun Ji and others.

Without exception, these weapons are all small, and it is not impossible to make these things through some precious meteoric iron, or refined iron obtained by accident in the process of forging.

But what is the armor, it is a big guy with a weight of at least 20 pounds or more, not to mention, is there so much fine iron, whether the performance of the fine iron itself is unified, and it is impossible to simply ask for a price.

In the military field, among the Three Kingdoms, the Liao State was the strongest, the Western Xia was the most ferocious, and it was also the most harmful to the Northern Song Dynasty.

But aside from military strength, not to mention combat effectiveness, purely on the level of forging, the Northern Song Dynasty called it the first, no one dared to call it the second, this is the Northern Song Dynasty's heritage, the performance of the infantry armor, far more than the heavy cavalry armor of the Western Xia and Liao, this is an indisputable fact, but also the Northern Song Dynasty is proud.

But this thing, even the Northern Song Dynasty can't imitate it, let alone others, 2,000 sets of armor, not to mention the consumption in the war, even if all of them are retained, what, although the heavy cavalry is powerful, 2,000 horsemen, facing the same fine iron made of foot armor, or 10,000 units, he can't break through this defense at all.

In the end, this topic was adopted by the appearance of this official's conclusion, and 2,000 sets of equipment were also sent to Liao through various channels, which played a very important role in this battle.

It is precisely for this reason that the smelting division has not been paid much attention to before, and it is planned to stop the smelting division after using the iron materials of the daimyo blacksmith's workshop on a large scale, and this time it has also been taken seriously.

Under the leadership of that official, a research department was set up to study some of the crafts and finished products of the daimyo's blacksmith workshop.

As long as you work hard, you can still see some things, such as the smelting of ordinary iron, but when it comes to the industry of fine iron, it is stuck, and they don't understand it at all, and they can't even copy it.

Zhao Xin didn't know this, even if he knew, he would smile happily and wouldn't say anything more, modern smelting and industry are like this, and the formula is his password.

Since the beginning of modern smelting, it has been beyond the ordinary and material, if you don't know the formula, as well as the processing method, it is difficult to imitate it, and the reverse push after getting the real thing, maybe there will be a certain effect, but that is just relying on luck, many times, obviously things in the hand, stunned can not be made.

Just like the core engine of a car, even if it is placed in front of it, there is no way to imitate it, of course, the level of scientific and technological development in the future generations, if it is really the strength of the country, or the entry of large investment, it is not that it cannot be done, but that the cost of making it is too great.

An engine is only imported for 50,000 yuan, but when you make it yourself, you need 100,000 or even 200,000 yuan, and if you don't produce one, you will lose more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

At present, with this official's research, it took three months, but they didn't find a clue, and they couldn't even copy it, which made them firm in their approach.

The new type of heavy cavalry armor, to put it bluntly, is an outstanding performance, everyone knows that reducing weight can speed up the effect of heavy cavalry, which is a balance composed of new materials, the things sent by the Northern Song Dynasty are very strong, and they are also super-first-class in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But when this thing can't be imitated, or rather, when the quality is deviated, then it won't have such a big effect, and if it is replaced by other materials, it can't even be barely beaten, if the real Liao State imitates this, I'm afraid the Northern Song Dynasty will wake up laughing.

This acceleration is placed on the premise that all aspects of the heavy cavalry are weakened, and the gains outweigh the losses, which is also one of the biggest weaknesses.

Liao really uses ordinary iron, according to this heavy cavalry armor, not to mention advanced things such as the divine arm crossbow, even if it is an ordinary longbow, using some armor-piercing or armor-breaking or the like, it is enough to make them look good.

Since this is the case, then that good thing, at most, is so many cavalry, and the Northern Song Dynasty is not without countermeasures, the armor-piercing and armor-piercing are applied to the infantry crossbow, using more excellent and heavy steel, and the armor-piercing effect is at least equivalent to before, which has been increased by more than three times, which is the real killer feature.

Such a divine arm crossbow can no longer be called a crossbow, it is simply a small cannon, in the past, ordinary foot armor, 3 layers could not block the penetration of this armor-piercing arrow, and the strengthened version of the fine iron step armor was not good, it was necessary to use a large tower shield, or the kind of fine iron, to be.

Not to mention, since Zhao Xin has come up with such advanced armor, he also has a means of countermeasures, and in the Ding Navy, with the help of Zhao Xin's guidance, the first musket has been created through fine iron, which has appeared.

This concentrated more than 20 master craftsmen, it took a week to create a high-quality musket, or the appearance of an arquebus, because of the large number of workers consumed, the price is extremely high, the price in the card system is as high as 25, which has exceeded any kind of individual weapon.

Such a price is very high, Zhao Xin saw this price, and couldn't help sighing, there is no way to mass-produce, it can only be used as a card in the card system, if it is true, when the smelting of heavy cavalry armor leaks out, he really has to come up with this, with 250,000, or even 2.5 million, to get out 10,000, or even 100,000 musketeers, under the power of thermal weapons, the nightmare of cavalry, will appear.

Han Qi's thoughts shifted a lot, and it took a long time before he woke up from his off-topic mood and picked up this thick package again, unlike before, this time, he looked at it seriously, and he looked at it in great detail, not letting go of any detail.
