Luoyang, western suburbs.

"Don't resist, just surrender." Dong Zhuojun on the opposite side shouted loudly.

But Cao Cao's infantry battalion just didn't surrender.

They had been completely surrounded on a small high ground. Dong Zhuo mobilized most of his military forces to surround them. There were less than six hundred of them. On the other side, Dong Zhuo's army had at least about 7,000 people, and the difference in strength was extremely large.

Dong Zhuojun wants to enter Luoyang. But in front of them was Cao Cao's infantry battalion. Most of Yuan Shao's army was peacefully disarmed.

The threat of force can easily solve this problem.

Dong Zhuojun used only six battalions of firearms battalions, as well as two of their artillery battalions, set up artillery and fired two shells. The entire Yuan Shaojun surrendered.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were discussing how to settle Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City, and they were convincing Empress Dowager He to order Dong Zhuo to go back. Dong Zhuo had already disobeyed Yuan Shao's orders before. Moreover, he suddenly surrounded Yuan Shaojun's barracks and disarmed more than 2,000 officers and soldiers.

Under the threat of huge firearms, more than 2,000 people did not resist at all, and all of them thought. Surrender willingly. I have to say, it's a pity.

Yuan Shao's army surrendered. However, Cao Cao's infantry battalion did not surrender, and they had already established defensive positions on the important passage west of Luoyang. Dong Zhuojun couldn't sneak attack the other party. Because the other party's guard is very strict. You can't sneak up on each other at once.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo can only take tough measures. Concentrate forces to kill the other party, in this way, you can sweep away the current threat of force, for the arriving Ding Yuan Division. Dong Zhuo doesn't have to worry. Because there is still a time lag between Ding Yuan's arrival. Taking advantage of this time difference, priority was given to the two armies of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were threatening in Luoyang. In this way, the situation can be basically brought under control.

Originally, Dong Zhuo also planned to find some excuses, such as provocation or something, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. Because he had a great advantage in troops, there was no need to do so.

"If you want to fight, you can fight. Don't dare to come up, what kind of hero. A sergeant on Cao Cao's side shouted loudly. When Dong Zhuo was surrounded, it was when the infantry battalion was relatively weak, and most of their wounded were in the city, and some of them were sent away. Because they were so badly wounded. And the chief officials like Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were not in the barracks, and they were surrounded all of a sudden, and the transmission of information was cut off. This is extremely disadvantageous for them.

"Bang bang. Bang. As soon as the sergeant finished speaking, Dong Zhuojun's artillery battalion on the opposite side fired shells to attack.

"Whoosh." The shells whistled and shook on the position.

Dong Zhuojun's artillery used solid shells. This kind of artillery shell has a large lethality against the infantry queue on the ground, the attack distance is long, and it constantly produces ricochet, sometimes, a shell can kill more than 40 people, that kind of huge killing effect, the shock is very large. But the infantry battalion was subjected to the more advanced trench warfare of the Republican Army. In the defensive state, digging trenches can effectively dodge the enemy's flying bullets and artillery attacks, which can greatly reduce casualties.

Therefore, the infantry code of the Republican Army stipulates that after entering the defensive state, the Republican Army must build a defensive position as soon as possible, and there must be a preliminary line of defense on the first day, and the second line of defense can also be established after the second day. On the third day, a well-established offensive and defensive position can be built.

The infantry battalion had already dug up its positions long before the mutiny, and the defense facilities were extremely perfect. Although they were on a flat ground, they were defending an official road from west to east into Luoyang, but if they wanted to defeat the other party at once, Dong Zhuojun would at least pay a very big price.

"Boom. Rumble. "The shells kept whistling. Two artillery battalions, a powerful bombardment of twenty-four guns. For an infantry battalion position, the pressure is still relatively high.

"Boom." A forward observation post was blown away at once. A second lieutenant officer and a lieutenant officer did not have time to leave and were buried in it on the spot. I'm afraid there will be more than one luck.

"Listen to these cannons. As if it was made in our artillery factory. Lieutenant Li Yong said while standing in the trench. He was an adviser sent by the IRA. There was not much difference between the officers and soldiers of Cao Cao's army, because of the limited funds, their military uniforms were made of linen, and the officers originally had cowhide military boots. But here, the uniform was replaced with sackcloth shoes, and leggings were played. The difference between an officer and a soldier is simply in rank. In this way, the officers and men are further encouraged to work as one.

Unlike officer advisers from the Republican Army, although they are not allowed to wear Republican uniforms, it is extremely unacceptable. Otherwise, it will cause great dissatisfaction in the imperial court. But the cowhide boots on their feet indicate the difference between them and the soldiers of the infantry battalion. But now they are forced to stay in kind, the encirclement comes quickly, and, for a long time living together, has made these IRA officers advisers not want to leave. This is a kind of clothing that is unique to the army.

"This is our cannon, listen, it's still a five-inch twelve-caliber gun, which can fire a new type of **. Once it explodes on our heads, it's a deadly thing. The artillery lieutenant said. He came from the Republican Army Lijiazhuang Military Academy. is a graduate of artillery. Usually it's just called an old cannon. Because his professional skills are still very good.

"Hmm." Li Yong nodded. There are a lot of people on the other side, and the weapons are very standardized. He didn't have to think about it, he knew exactly where those weapons came from. The relationship between Guanzhong and the Republican Army is very good, and the trade between the two sides is extremely frequent, and a large part of the large number of firearms that the Republican Army has reequipped with before have entered the Guanzhong area. It was through that channel that these weapons entered.

"This kind of large-caliber artillery is equipped with firepower at the level of an infantry division, I didn't expect that Dong Zhuojun would have such a weapon." The artillery second lieutenant said so.

"We will never surrender. The Republican Army did not have surrendered officers. Li Yong said.

The artillery second lieutenant did not say. This war has nothing to do with them, they have already received orders to leave here, and it is Li Yong who does not want to leave. But I didn't expect things to develop so quickly. This was a big surprise to them. If that's how promised, they themselves can't say exactly how far it will go. After all, such a thing is also an extremely big threat to them.

"Boom." Rumbling cannons. It made all the soldiers feel a lot of pressure, and on the opposite side, the firearms infantry of Dong Zhuo's army were preparing to attack in a row, and this kind of attack would pose a great threat to them. It's definitely not as simple as they think. That's how the Founder War went.

Handan. Firecrackers suddenly set off in front of commercial banks. They seemed to be very happy.

Firecrackers are new-style firecrackers, not the kind of firecrackers in the past. The types of firecrackers have also developed rapidly, firecrackers, spring thunder, and constantly appear, which greatly increases the festivity of the festival.

But today, many people don't know why banks suddenly set off firecrackers, and moreover, more than one, almost all banks have such actions. A lot of people don't know why. Because some of the staff members don't know exactly what it is for.

The banks of the IRA are celebrating. Celebrate the removal of a person, celebrate the death of a person.

This person is Zhang Rang, yes, he is a traitor. But at the same time, he was the largest shareholder in the IRA's banking sector. He holds a lot of shares in Handan Commercial Bank, and some of them are very large. In addition to this, there are quite a few bonds. The owner of these securities is Zhang Rang.

If Zhang Rang sells these securities all at once, what will be the result, everyone knows very well, what kind of consequences will be produced, and they will lose quite a lot. So much so that they will lose most of their shares.

But now, Zhang Rang is dead. When the news of Zhang Rang's death reached the Republican Army, many high-ranking people couldn't believe it, they seemed to confirm it, and when it was confirmed, they were extremely excited, because this part of the shares would lose ownership, at most they would be nationalized, but they could also get a part of the split. This is definitely a big plus for all the banking industry, some enterprises, because the scale of this part of the capital is quite large.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"Can you confirm that?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu. Seeing the telegram of Zhang Rang's death, Shang Wu couldn't believe it, so he also asked for confirmation, after all, this is a big financier. His death is equivalent to a big, big unexpected fortune for the Republican Army.

"It can be confirmed, and it is definitely confirmed, that Zhang Rang is dead." Jia Xu nodded and said.

He committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and he was forced to be helpless, but he didn't expect that such a character would end up in such a fate. It was a surprise. But, after all, something like this has happened. Jia Xu said.

"It's really surprising, I can't believe it's happening." Shang Wu also felt very surprised, but after all, such a thing had already happened. They don't care about that.

"I thought, what are we going to do next?" Jia Xu said.

"The situation remains uncertain. We still can't move, see how other people move? It's not time for us to act. Shang Wu said. The strategy of the latter strike has been developed, and Sangmu decides to be the last one to pull the trigger. Because they don't understand the situation, and most importantly, the commercial attributes have determined their transcendent status.
