Regardless of the situation of the Tokyo Road, the war has ended. Jiang Shixing and Zhang Zhou’s memorials were delivered to Shendu City at the same time. Although they were prepared, Zhao Zhen was still very distressed when he saw the loss.

Death in battle, with 40,000 seriously injured, which was a great loss that the Song army had never encountered. Even Di Qing led his army 200,000 to fight against Hei Khan, but there were only so many losses, but Di Qing had a total of 200,000 people.

Zhao Zhen, who looked at the memorial, once wondered if Zhang Zhou was not capable, and if his firearm matching tactics were not as sharp as traditional tactics? But Jiang Shixing's memorial dispelled his doubts.

Zhang Zhou's tactics are perfect, and every move is in line with the rules of the army and is also the best choice. Then the problem lies with the Khitans. The 100,000 Khitans led by Xiao Jie seized the armor and weapons of the Black Water Army and armed a total of 10,000 people, and these 10,000 people became sharp swords to tear open the Song army's defense line.

In addition, Jiang Shixing emphasized the fighting spirit of the Khitans. They fought to the death and fought to the end. Some even died with the Song army. When they fought tragic, they broke their arms and waved their swords to kill the enemy. The fierceness of the enemy was like a wolf that devoured people!

This is clearly recorded in Jiang Shixing's memorial. The Khitans' fighting spirit seemed to burst out suddenly. This spirit of fighting to the death is the same as the Song army. When a strong man fights against each other, there will be losses. No wonder the Song army hurts the enemy by one thousand and loses himself by eight hundred.

In this era of cold weapons, the old saying goes further, that brave people win when they meet on a narrow road.

But Zhao Zhen believed that if Zhang Zhou's idea was to use all the Song army to be equipped with firearms, the situation and results of the battle would be very different, and the Khitans' fighting spirit would be completely defeated, because his summary mentioned the musket reserve team he deliberately left behind.

In fact, they are the important factor in turning the situation around the war. The reason why the Khitans were repelled and chose not to fight was the deterrence caused by this team of thousands of people.

While watching the memorial, Zhao Zhen ordered the officials of the Military Academy to review the war on the sand table.

When the Song army was fighting, the Sima Association of the marching army recorded the process of the entire war, when the general used troops, how to change the formation, how to attack, and how the army fought, but this battle in Liaoyang was somewhat unexpected.

Jiang Shixing's memorials were recorded intermittently, because the Song army lost contact at that time and sometimes had to fight on their own. This was also reflected on the sand table and deduced.

The Military Academy of the Song Dynasty trained many military talents. These talents were not only generals from the court, but also military civil servants who systematically studied wars like civil servants. They were quite special, and their talents were not inferior to civil servants, and their wisdom was not inferior to military generals, but they were not suitable for leading troops to fight and needed to be investigated.

So these people became members of Zhao Zhen’s General Staff, and were responsible for deduction, estimation and reviewing the war.

That's why Zhao Zhen could truly see the whole story of a war, including Di Qing's conquest of Hei Khan, but Zhao Zhen was not interested in revising it. After all, the war was always crushing Hei Khan, and there was no resistance along the way.

But the Battle of Liaoyang is an exception, so there is a saying of reviewing the situation.

It can be said that Zhang Zhou's last musket team played a final role. The Khitans had never seen such a tactic. After the musket was fired, they began to charge by bayonets. Zhao Zhen could even imagine this scene.

Thousands of soldiers from the Song Dynasty, wearing flexible plate armor, squatted and aimed at shooting. After firing the flintlock rifle, the soldiers in the first two rows moved to the last row at the fastest speed to charge the medicine. The soldiers in the front row continued to design and moved forward.

This is a marching-style shooting method. Because the straight rifle design is added to the barrel of the gun, and the paper-tube blowing arrow technology like Minnie bullets is a bit scary.

Even Zhao Zhen himself can even hit an incredible thing like a target of 250 meters.

Not to mention the good musketeers in the army, they are all musketeers in one place. Needless to mention the accuracy, not to mention the proficiency, and more importantly, speed.

All the flintlock rifles used by these musketeers are flintlock rifles with rear-mounted flintlock rifles. The front end of the gun handle hammer is the type that can be broken open. You only need to load paper shell gunpowder and Minnie bullets to design.

If the only disadvantage is to clean the gun chamber, after all, black gunpowder is still not the most ideal launching medicine.

Even so, the power, accuracy and speed of the flintlock rifle are much more powerful than ordinary flintlock rifles, which makes Zhang Zhou determined to invest in the musketeers to reverse the occupation when the battle is at its most stalemate.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhao Zhen looked at the musket on the side of the sand table. The model of this musket was exactly the same as that used by Zhang Zhou's troops. It was built in the second year of Qianyu.

The second year of Qianyu was built as a long musket, or a long rifle. The length of the barrel reached three feet and three inches, which was about one meter and two inches in later generations. The longer the barrel, the longer the rifle, and the higher the accuracy.

Frictioning against the heavy solid wood gun body and forged barrel, although casting is easy to form and efficient, it is far from the sturdy and durable ones that are cast.

This was the case in Qianyu's second year. The barrel of the gun was completely knocked out with a piece of iron. It was first tempered to remove impurities, and then it was hammered while heating. The cost of each gun was as high as 25 jin, which was completely a weapon made by the money.

But equally, its performance is also the best. Without Zhao Zhen's guidance, the Ordnance Department of the Geju Academy of the Song Dynasty built this epoch-making firearm by itself. It was named Qianyu's second year because of its year name. However, Zhao Zhen knew that this was actually the Kentucky long rifle in history.

Chinese people seem to be born suitable for using firearms. Not to mention Zhao Zhen, even ordinary civil officials can get started quickly and achieve quite good shooting results, and they quickly became obsessed with it.

The Qianyu in his hand was the most excellent product in the second year. Both civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty would be full of passion. Zhao Zhen knew his advantages well, and this battle was also a battle to prove the value of muskets.

Zhao Zhen knew that the terror of firearms is not only here, but also in the most deadly place, and it is simple to operate.

It takes only one thumb to complete the loading action, and only one index finger to fire the musket. Even a fool can learn such a simple operation, and the training cost is much lower.

Even when fighting at close range, this weapon can become a good weapon to kill enemies.

The moderately-length musket and bayonet charge were very good, so the musketeers under Zhang Zhou reversed the situation on the battlefield.
