"Divine Arm Bow, Shou Man Armor, and weapons such as fallen swords, halberd swords, phoenix-mouth swords, ring guns, etc...."

Chu Tian plundered the arsenal of the Northern Song Dynasty and looted the equipment of the Song army, and obtained a group of divine arm bows, schooners and a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers.

Chu Tian personally put on a pair of step armor, with the body of the armor as the main body, with his arms on top, his subordinates hanging their legs, and his first trouser, which was extremely heavy.

Chu Tian soon discovered the problem.

The Burenjia in the Northern Song Dynasty was too heavy, which was not conducive to maneuvering, and it also had extremely high requirements for soldiers' physical strength.

In other words, if a battle lasts too long, the physical strength of the heavy infantry in the Song State will drop rapidly, and eventually lose strength and be defeated by the enemy. Even if it is defeated, it will be difficult to chase the enemy and expand the results of the battle.

However, if the Song State did not use heavy infantry, it would not be able to stop the cavalry attacks of the Liao, Jin and Western Xia.

"This kind of armor is suitable for defensive and melee combat, but not for offense."

Le Yi commented on the Burenjia in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The heavier the armor, the better, and the specific situation needs to be analyzed.

Even in the Northern Song Dynasty, not all armor was complete with Buren armor. A complete Buren armor was expensive.

The pride of the pride is less versatile, and the more practical one is the Divine Arm Bow.

The Divine Arm Bow is a type of crossbow weapon, and the lowest quality is gold level, among which the excellent ones can achieve the king-level quality.

Chu Tian divided up eight thousand divine arm bows, most of which were gold-level divine arm bows, and a small number were platinum-level.

"Lord, here are two drawings."

Joan of Arc led his troops to investigate the North and South workshops and the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard, and took out two drawings from his arms.

Chu Tian took the drawings and was stunned.

One of them is the drawings for the manufacturing of the golden-grade divine arm bow, and the other is the drawings for the manufacturing of the three-bow bed crossbow (Eight-Nuo Crossbow).

Chu Tian checked the finished product of the Shenbang Bow manufacturing drawings.

【Name】:Shishiji Arm Bow

【Quality】:Golden grade

【Effect】: Fixed attack power 30 (decreasing with distance, irrelevant to the attack power of the troops), with armor-breaking effect (medium)

[Evaluation]: Do you think it is a bow? It is actually a crossbow.

"Shishiji Arm Bow?"

This is a good thing.

What Chu Tian actually needs is this kind of mass-produced weapon to equip the crossbow soldiers.

The higher the quality, the higher the cost, but it may not be practical. The cost of creating an imperial-level weapon may be enough to create hundreds of standard god arm bows.

Chu Tian looked at the attributes of the Baniu Crossbow again, which is a large-scale weapon that can be used to siege and defend the city. Before the appearance of artillery, the Baniu Crossbow was already one of the top siege equipment!

【Name】: Eight-ox Crossbow (large)

【Level】: Level 8 siege/defense equipment

[Attack Power]: 200+50*6 (release 7 arrows at the same time, the attack power decreases with the distance)

[Evaluation]: It is said that the Liao army commander Xiao Talin once used his forehead to catch the crossbow arrow of the Eight Niu Crossbow, but was defeated and died in battle.

Chu Tian already has a double bow bed crossbow, but compared with the Eight Niu Crossbow, the damage is relatively low.

After possessing the Eight Niu Crossbow, Chu Tian had even more terrifying siege weapons.

"Have you found the manufacturing drawings for Burenjia?"

"No."

"It's enough to have these two drawings. As a reward, the time you return to France can be shortened by one month."

Chu Tian was very satisfied with getting the two drawings, so he generously shortened the time for Joan of Arc to return to France.

But Joan of Arc seemed not very satisfied.

In addition to the Divine Arm Bow and the A-level weapons, two more expensive drawings than equipment, Chu Tian also divided up a batch of gold and silver as commissions to help Song Qinzong expel the Jin soldiers.

At this time, the Northern Song Dynasty's treasury was no longer rich after many defeats. In fact, Chu Tian did not share much gold and silver.

Chu Tian’s territory in the main world is richer than the territory owned by Song Qinzong.

After seizing a batch of divine arm bows, Chu Tian asked the Yan Armored Soldier to replace the divine arm bow, and Chu Tian was about to bring the other divine arm bows back to the main world to replace Liang Hongyu's Jianyan Crossbowman.

For Yan Jia, the improvement of replacing the Divine Arm Bow is not a big deal, but the improvement of the Divine Arm Bow to Jianyan Crossbowman is very big.

The Buren armor is still good for sticking to the ground, but lacks flexibility. Chu Tian hesitated whether to replace the Yan armor and sacrifice maneuver for defense. This approach has advantages and disadvantages.

The other princes also obtained a batch of high-quality equipment from the inner city and the arsenals of the palace.

More than 100,000 Han troops have replaced their equipment and their combat effectiveness has become stronger!

In addition to equipment above the gold level, there are also a bunch of slightly inferior weapons or some strange-shaped miscellaneous soldiers, which are enough to arm the 100,000 Baojia militia.

"We can recruit 50,000 Song troops and 200,000 Baojia militias to train and improve their level. A month later, the troops will attack the Jin army on the outer city wall in multiple ways to provide cover for us. Then, we gather our troops and drove the Jin soldiers off the outer city wall in one fell swoop."

"Let Song Qinzong issue an order to call on civilians to participate in the exercise."

"Le Yi, Xie Xuan, Chang Yuchun, Sun Jian, can train 250,000 troops."

The princes tried to squeeze the war potential of Kaifeng City.

Since we cannot recruit soldiers, we can only call 50,000 Song troops and summon all armed forces in the city to expel the Jin soldiers in one fell swoop.

All of this must be based on the name of Song Qinzong in order to be justified.

At present, Song Qinzong, Song Huizong and a group of ministers were locked in a small black room, locking the wooden door with iron ropes, and reflecting carefully.

Emperor Qinzong of Song saw that the Heavenly Master Guo Jing was killed by the Heavenly General in the Hall, and he was already a frightened bird, and he agreed to the requests of the princes.

"It's not enough, it's not enough. We want to panic. You set fire in the city, disguised as Jin soldiers, and threatened to massacre the city."

Chu Tian asked Li Guang to pretend to be a Jin soldier, and at night, he set fire to the outer city of Kaifeng.

It began to spread in the city that the news that the Jin soldiers were going to burn the whole city and slaughter the people in the city. For a moment, everyone in Kaifeng City was in danger.

At this time, Qinzong issued an order to recruit 200,000 civilians to train, serve as auxiliary soldiers, and counterattack the Jin army!

The imperial edict was circulating wildly in Kaifeng City. The people of Kaifeng City who had been angry for a long time were completely angered. The crowds were like black dragons, gathering towards the Xuande Gate of the palace.

To make civilians use for themselves, they must make them angry and fear.

Xuandemen is crowded with people, and it is impossible to escape, and a total of 300,000 civilians are obtained!

The Han army princes removed the young and old from the 300,000 civilians, leaving only 200,000 civilians, including even women holding kitchen knives.

The Han army princes distributed weapons to the young and strong, and then conducted a simple training for a month, mainly to let them learn to enforce orders and put pressure on the Jin army.

Most of the Baojia militias, Chu Tian, ​​did not even expect them to go to the battlefield, as long as they were counterattacking, they could attract the attention of some Jin troops.

According to the Han princes, they wanted to turn the entire Kaifeng outer city into a battlefield, fight to the death with the Jin army, and defeat the Jin army in one battle!

Except for the Jin army guarding Tongguan, the other main forces of the Jin army have already arrived in Kaifeng. If the main forces of the Jin army are severely damaged, the national destiny of the Song Dynasty can be extended for a period of time.

The city was training troops nervously, while the Jin army on the outer wall fell into panic.

The situation in Kaifeng City took a sharp turn. According to the return of Jin envoy, the defenders in the city actually kidnapped their emperor and openly cleared the emperor.

Even the Jurchens who were born in remote places knew that there was no difference between clearing the monarch and rebelling.

After the emperor was under house arrest, the Jin army could no longer negotiate directly with the Emperor of Song because the Emperor of Song could no longer promise them anything. They could only negotiate with the princes of the Han army.

However, with the strength of the Han army princes, is it possible for them to negotiate and make compensation?

Wanyan Zongwang has been observing the situation in the outer city recently. He vaguely noticed that the civilians in the outer city were organizing fortifications and laying off horseback, sandbags and bricks on the streets.

If the civilians before just spontaneously resisted the Jin soldiers, then behind the current civilians, there is a group of people directing them.

The princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a strong ability to mobilize civilians to participate in wars, and they could also play miraculous effects if they made good use of civilians.

Wanyan Zongwang was worried. He had realized that the defenders were defending and were accumulating strength to counterattack.

The defenders in the city no longer negotiated with the Jin army outside the city, or the negotiations between the two sides had broken down, and only swords were facing each other.

"They are training the Baojia militia. The people in the city have complaints about us. We cannot sit still and wait for death!"

Finally, Wanyan Zongwang saw through the strategies of the Han army princes.

The people in Kaifeng City are available, this is a force that scares the Jin army!

Wanyan Zonghan said: "It is better to destroy the outer city and kill all the people in the city."

Jin Wushu shook his head: "There will be a loss of people's hearts when massacres the city, and it will be difficult to convince the public. It will be difficult to enter the Central Plains in the future."

Wanyan Zonghan didn't care: "For the resisters, only by massacre of the city can he intimidate the remaining Song army."

Jin Wushu still disagreed.

The generals of the Jin army were divided into two factions and there was no dispute.

The Western Route Army was once blocked by the Song army in Taiyuan for nine months, so it advocated massacre of the city and dismantled the Song army's will to resist. The Eastern Route Army generally advocated Huairou so that it could enter the Central Plains in the future.

In the end, Wanyan Zongwang rejected the proposal of the Western Route Army to massacre the city and chose to attack the inner city in a conventional manner.
