The war in Liaodong has actually come to an end. Hou Jin is not a stupid person, after calculation, he found that if he continued to fight, he would definitely not be able to consume Da Zhao. Now that the 200,000 army has fought and only 120,000 remain, if the army retreats, there is still room for self-preservation, you can shrink up and lick your wounds, and recuperate. Otherwise, the remaining 120,000 people will be buried in Liaodong, then the Houjin Kingdom will be in danger, and it is impossible to say that the nearby North Korea will be able to bully them.

Wisely, after a feint in the last half a month, he finally retreated backwards. Today's weather has gradually entered winter, and the supply gap of Houjin is huge. If it were normal, Liu Pojun would not let go of this opportunity. It is impossible to say that they will do their best, and fight again with the Houjin soldiers who have insufficient logistics supplies and extremely low morale. Although it is impossible to leave these 120,000 people with the surname, it is still possible to cut them back and forth by 20,000 people. Although there will definitely be a lot of deaths on his side. But no more than 50,000 is a victory.

However, Liu Pojun changed his mind and allowed the Houjin army to withdraw to Liaodong unharmed, and all the actions only notified the wolf king who was still in Houjin to retreat. He did it because he found two things. That is the Linglong gun transported from the capital department, the two terrifying weapons of the Linglong cannon, and the musketeer guard and a thousand households. Let's talk about the exquisite spear first, it can still maintain accuracy within a hundred steps, the key is that it is simple, and an ordinary soldier can use it freely within a month. Moreover, it is almost possible to fire one shot after another. In addition, the Linglong cannon is also extremely powerful, small and lightweight, and two horses can pull it away. The power is even more powerful than that of the cardinal cannon, the key is that it is easy to reload, and after the use of prefabricated shells, the combustion of gunpowder usually bursts in the shell. So that the barrel of the cannon will not be scalded and needs to be cooled because it has only been fired for a few shots, and at least after thirty or forty shots, the barrel needs to be cooled for a period of time.

It's a pity that the battle was fought for too short. And the Linglong guns that were delivered over are not too many, and they can't play a role in determining the surname. But Liu Pojun deduced from his experience that if this kind of gun ammunition is sufficient. Even if the quality of the current soldiers remains the same, as long as they can use this kind of guns, then they can completely resist the siege of 50,000 people in Houjin with 20,000 people. If the number of the two sides is equal, Liu Pojun can even be sure that he can win the same number of Houjin soldiers in the field battle.

This is a breakthrough in the combat effectiveness of a historical surname, and whether it is a small-scale or large-scale battle with the Houjin soldiers, it is never possible for Da Zhao's soldiers to win the same number of Houjin soldiers in a field battle. Even if some of the top troops of Da Zhao are mobilized, it is enough.

Looking at these exquisite guns, the exquisite guns were continuously transported. Liu Pojun saw hope, saw that Da Zhao, who is now in his twilight years, has the hope of rising again. Now there are more than 400,000 troops left in Liaodong. But if these 400,000 people are equipped with exquisite guns and carry a large number of exquisite cannons. He was confident enough to lead the men and horses to counterattack Houjin.

But the problem is that he has already inquired, and now there are many people recruited in the department of the organ, and they are making every effort to produce this kind of exquisite gun, which can make 2,000 guns in a month, and if you want to have one for more than 400,000 people, it will take at least four years. That's not all, the warriors need to train, and the training will also damage the Linglong gun, which is even more distant. In addition, those bigwigs who are accustomed to grabbing equipment in the Governor's Mansion of the Central Five Armies, as well as other border armies of Dazhao, will also rob them. Liu Pojun's heart suddenly rose to his throat, summoned his staff, and began to write a recital to the emperor's boss.

……

And Zhao Zhe couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Liu Pojun's performances that were full of emotion and exhaustive analysis. That goods, the music is written in a dazzling way, and its purpose is only one, that is, to exquisitely shoot guns, the more the better, as if if he is not given to him, Liaodong will cease to exist. What is more exaggerated is that the gang of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, as well as Wu Zheng, the boss of the Shanxi Xingdu Division of the border army stationed in Shanxi, also smelled the message. One by one, they were desperately handed to Zhao Zhe. Wu Zheng is subordinate to the Left Army Governor's Office, and the Shanxi Xingdu Division is the left commander. That Xingdu Division is the border army. It was specially designed to defend against the Mongol remnants, the Tatars. The Tatars are different from the Houjin, who have just emerged for decades, and their relationship with Da Zhao has been extremely poor since ancient times. Originally, the Yuan Kingdom before them had driven the former Song Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River, and they had a great chance to eat the whole world in one bite. Unexpectedly, a great Zhao Taizu appeared, and Buyi was born to expel Mongolia, and easily destroyed the Song Dynasty and established the current Great Zhao.

After the division of the Yuan Kingdom, small countries were formed. For example, the Tatar kingdom near Dazhao, and the Warat kingdom. Under the immortal ambition, they will be entangled with Da Zhao from time to time. It's just that the Great Zhao Kingdom has always been strong, which also makes them unable to take advantage of it. However, now that the national strength of Dazhao is gradually declining, those steppe wolves are beginning to move again.

Wu Zheng is from a very different background from Yang Dingshan and Liu Pojun. He was just an ordinary military family, but with his merits and excellent martial arts, he was promoted step by step. Now he is forty-five or sixteen years old, but he has already achieved the position of the boss of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and has been guarding the border for five years. Several battles with the Tatar tribes ended in victory. At the same time, he is also one of the three great masters in the entire Great Zhao army. In the army, his prestige is quite high, and because of his ordinary background, he is also deeply admired by those ordinary soldiers.

Of course, it does not mean that Wu Zheng's ability surpasses Liu Pojun. There are several reasons for this, first, the Wu army has been guarding the border for a long time, and there is enough time for him to train the strong army he wants. Second, the Tatars were no longer as brave as their ancestors, and their combat effectiveness and will were inferior to those of the Houjin. Thirdly, it was only a relatively powerful tribe of the Tatar State that clashed with Wu Zheng several times.

But Wu Zheng should not be underestimated, he does not like to command battles like Liu Pojun and Yang Dingshan. Instead, he likes to rely on his personal courage to participate in the front-line battle, and he can be regarded as a fierce general.

However, Rao is this fierce general. At this time, he also looked at the delicate guns and cannons, and said that the situation at the junction of Shanxi and Tatar was also in a precarious situation. It can be seen that there are more monks and less porridge, and these people began to show their best one by one. Zhao Zhe believes that the threshold of those officials in the department will be broken. Xu Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, will also have an endless stream of people in his house, who let his daughter make this kind of gun?

However, Zhao Zhe also understands them, after all, guarding the border is a great responsibility. Besides, what general doesn't want the army under his command to be as strong as possible? People's hearts are made of flesh, and no one wants the more soldiers under their command to die, the better.

However, understanding is understanding, but Zhao Zhe has other plans. The exquisite guns are very far from the weapons of Zhao Zhe's original era. But in this era, it is already an excellent thing, and it can be regarded as a leading product in the world. Since it is a good thing, it is natural to give priority to it in your own hands, the strength of the army, and the more this kind of thing is completely pinched in your own hands, the better.

Zhao Zhe envisioned that in the area around the Beijing Division, several more acropolises would be opened. First, it can protect the capital, and second, these acropolises are stationed with some pro-troops that they will integrate next. When he has enough strength in his hands, Zhao Zhe will gradually spread these things. If you want to talk about border passes, in fact, whether it is Liaodong or Shanxi, the two border passes are not far away.

It is better to train several extremely powerful armies by yourself, fight in the south and the north, and help defend left and right. Why not?

Now the pro-army under his command includes the four guards of the forbidden army, the four guards of the Royal Forest Army, the four guards of the hussar army, the Jinyi guard, the dragon spear guard, and the two guards of the Golden Wolf Army that have not yet been included in the official establishment, and the Huya Army that has not yet been scored. Among them, the forbidden army and the royal forest army are used to protect the palace and his role as the emperor. In general, it is unlikely that they will be mobilized to fight. And the four guards of the hussars, this time on the Liaodong front fought quite miserably, the four guards are not even the three guards now, after the transfer back, the soldiers must be replenished. However, the hussars have been fighting for more than half a year this time, and have gone through countless battles, and have been thoroughly baptized with the blood of the enemy and the blood of their brothers, and I am afraid that there will be a qualitative transformation. As for Jinyiwei, although it is powerful, it belongs to a special department, and it is impossible to throw his surname directly to the front line to fight with people. The vast majority of the dragon lancers are still using arquebuses, and their combat effectiveness is not enough. But when they were fully equipped with exquisite guns, according to the elite level of their own soldiers, plus outstanding marksmanship. This will be a very powerful combat force in Zhao Zhe's hands. The 10,000 horses of the Golden Wolf Army belong to the light cavalry army that comes and goes like the wind, rushing and fighting. Keeping them by his side, even if the wolf king Baltuken, he Zhao Zhe refused. This kind of army should be stocked.

It can be seen that there are really not many troops around Zhao Zhe who can really be mobilized to attack and fight, and they can't take action.

In Zhao Zhe's conception, the dragon spear guard must first be formed, and everyone will be equipped with exquisite spears. In this way, the dragon spear guard can also be pulled out to fight. But the problem is that the number of people is too small, there is only one guard establishment, and four new guards must be formed. And these four new guards are divided from the old dragon spear guards 4,000 households, and these 4,000 households are used as seeds to recruit people and train the army. If the dragon lancers can swell to an army of 25,000 men, all of them are equipped with exquisite spears. Only then did Zhao Zhe achieve the initial idea of the army.
