In Yanjing, countless official and private workshops are running at full speed, and all kinds of arms accessories are sent to the largest military workshops. These most critical heavy military workshops work overtime day and night, working hard all the time.

Zhe Yanzhi, the great god, personally took charge of Yanjing, and Zhao Ding, the current Hebei Transport Author, even went to the factory to supervise on-site.

In recent years, Zhao Song has not had a battle of 200,000 troops, but the 200,000 infantry and cavalry that hastily descended is very different from the 200,000 infantry and cavalry elites of that battle.

Not to mention anything else, only one food, grass and materials are transported, the latter is ten times that of the former. Because among the 200,000 Song troops entering the northeast this time, there were 50,000 or 60,000 horses alone, not only the two horses, but also the large livestock such as cattle, horses, mules, and donkeys in the infantry army were far more than the Xuanhe Northern Expedition.

These livestock are all "big-bellied men". The forage, wheat bran and other crude materials used by them, and the fine materials such as beans, wheat, bean cakes, etc. are all ten times that of the Song army officers and soldiers. The overall material loss is ten times higher than that of the standard, and it is still unsure. In other words, the Song army seized a lot after entering the Northeast, which can make up for the gap.

The warriors of the 200,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers, and the transported civilians and laborers behind them were more than 100,000. This was because Yanjing was a key reserve for the Song army's military capital, which could be imported to the northeast. Moreover, the Song army's material supplies were replenished on water and sea routes, which reduced the huge troubles of the Song army's logistics.

Even so, the overall volume is astronomical. If it hadn't been done long ago, the continued transportation of materials and emergencies would have caused the Ministry of War to collapse.

For example, the Song army's crossbow. They have now given up the previous short-shot light arrow mode. Zhao Gou looked down on the weapon that simply pursued range and ignored the lethality of a single body.

During the Song, Liao and Xia eras and later Song and Jin eras, they were both years when they were heavy armor and thick armor as kings.

The elite troops of various countries, from small soldiers to officers, are like adult wild boars, with thick skin and strong defenses. Not to mention short-shot arrows, even strong bows and crossbows need to be fired at close range to cause damage.

Conventional weapons such as long spears and big swords have little effect in hand-to-hand combat. They must be heavy weapons such as maces, iron bones, hammers, iron whips, heavy axes, and knife-dropping.

Can a short-shot light arrow be used as an egg?

Even if this thing matches Zhao Song's overall strategic concept, it is very different from his current strategic concept.

Long tips and heavy arrows are the standard configuration of the Song army now. With strong crossbows and firearms, no matter how many enemy cavalry there are, they will not be able to drag down the current Song army's infantry formation in a short period of time. As for directly destroying the Song army's infantry formation, it is even more impossible.

However, the manufacturing of many long-shot strong bows takes time. The manufacturing of a good bow is much more troublesome than the manufacturing of a dry musket. The arch body is fixed and painted repeatedly, and the overall time needs to be calculated in years. Otherwise, how could there be the saying "A good bow will be completed in three years".

Therefore, the bows and arrows held by many archers of the Song army were both long and short, and this also caused more and more complex types of arrows.

However, the insurgent bows in the Song army were standard, and the cost of bows and crossbows is obvious to all. Even because of the existence of firearms, a critical battle could not be defeated by more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of crossbows and arrows.

Moreover, there are different models of arrows and crossbows. The difference between long-shot bows and short-shot bows is no less than guns with different calibers. Not only will the power be sharply reduced when using a bow and a arrow, it will also cause damage to the tip bow itself when pulling the bow. This is what the Ministry of War must pay special attention to. Otherwise, if you take a car order from a foreign trade company in later generations, you will get a mistake on how many sports cars are, how many cars are, and how many SUVs are. But there will be a big mess.

"The end of this chapter, I can calm down for a while." Zhe Yanzhi said to Zhao Ding.

After working together for a while, Zhe Yanzhi admired Zhao Ding's ability very much. The current war is a threshold for Zhao Ding. After crossing this threshold, there will be a bright future.

Judging from Zhao Ding's actions, he obviously has crossed this threshold. Just like the junior generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in the army, they have now experienced the Battle of Destroying Xia in the northwest, and are now engaged in the Battle of Destroying Jin in the northeast. A group of new generations represented by these two have been trained in terms of achievements and fame.

In the future, older generation figures such as Yao Gu, Liu Yanqing, and Yang Weizhong will completely retreat.

The army will be the world of Yue Han, Yao Youzhong, Zhe Keqiu, Liu Zhengyan, Miao Fu, Liu Qi, Liu Ziyu and others, Wang Yan, Xu Huiyan, Li Yanxian, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin and others, Qu Duan, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Xue Guang, Zhang Qiong and others...

After this battle, the Zhao Song army had completely escaped from the "Last Huizong" era.

And the court will soon cause a surging wave.

Zhe Yanzhi's tone was very plain and his face was very calm, but his heart was surging and excited. His eyes seemed to have seen a new pattern in the court in the future.

No one will be indifferent to it, especially those of them.

Beauties have been like famous generals since ancient times, and they are not allowed to see white hair on earth. Time is really ruthless!

Zhe Yanzhi glanced at Zhao Ding. He believed that the heart of the Dequan layman in front of him would not be as calm as he did on the surface. These are scenes that many people can "see" them. As a person in the hub, no one can escape the attraction of temptation.

"It is easy to destroy Jin, but it is difficult to occupy the Northeast. After this war, the court must settle for some time before it can completely straighten out the Northeast."

Neither of them is a moral man who only knows Zhihu. Zhe Yanzhi talks with Zhao Ding, and the drum is not a heavy hammer.

"What Yuanzhen (Zhao Ding's name) says is very much. Northeast..." Zhe Yanzhi shook his head as he thought about the information he saw. The Fuzhou was already very cold in winter, and the Northeast could be much colder than the Fuzhou. That is, with felt and cotton, how many Han people could stand it?

But if you want to manage the Northeast, you must be able to withstand the cold and move people to this aspect. Otherwise, it doesn’t take a few years to get out of the second Jurchen, or the second Khitan, the second Bohai, and the second Goguryeo.

"So, after this war, the court will definitely have to rest for two or three years to recover. It is impossible to rush to attack the Western Regions anymore." Zhe Yanzhi said with emotion. In just a few years, this domineering tone that was no problem in conquering all directions could have naturally escaped from the mouth of a general who had repeatedly defeated the war.

Things are really impermanent.

"There is no rush to do it. Yelu Dashi's Western Expedition was well-proportioned, so it was impossible for him to reach Bianliang by a Gaochang Uighur surrender. The lower officials were curious, wondering if Yelu Dashi would continue to go west?"
