"Lao Li, do we have any plans for the next step?" Zhou Cang asked Li Dao.

"This place is easy to attack and difficult to defend. We don't have many troops, only more than 800 people have arrived here, and the number of muskets is a little higher, more than 300. This is our advantage, we must be nailed here, and we can't make repeated charges with the officers and soldiers, of course. We can also seize some opportunities to counter-charge. This is not to limit our charge. Li Dao said.

"Can our little force withstand such a frantic attack by the Northern Army? To be honest, I don't have any bottom of my mind. Zhou Cang looked at the battlefield strewn with corpses and said worriedly.

"Don't talk about that. If you can withstand it, you will definitely be able to withstand it, right. We should put the number of the independent brigade out. In this case, our independent brigade will be considered famous. Li Dao said.

"Hmm. That's it. Zhou Cang made up his mind. Now that we've come here. What else is there to worry about, since the thing has been done. It's going to be done to the end, I'm afraid, it's too late.

"Brothers, raise our banner and let the northern army on the opposite side see who is fighting them. Let him always remember our number. Zhou Cang shouted loudly.

On Huang Fu Song's command car, Huang Fu Song slowly put down the binoculars in his hand, he really couldn't figure out what kind of troops were on the other side, they were simply a group of crazy people. The position was not defended at all, more than 300 people charged with ** bags, and thousands of people attacked, but they were beaten down by the opponent's repeated counter-charges. Seeing that he was about to occupy the opponent's position through the attrition of numbers, there was another wave, and no matter how he fought, he couldn't be killed. Huangfu Song was very annoyed.

"Have you figured out which unit is the Red Turban Army on the other side?" Huangfu Song asked Sima on the side.

"Report to the general, at the moment, I don't know." A Sima reluctantly told Huangfu Song such news. Because the other party has no way to capture the other party's prisoners at all, they don't know the formation of the Red Turban Army, because this unit is very unexpected, they look like militia in the Red Turban Army, because they are all wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and a considerable part of them have the characteristics of the Yellow Turban Army, but. Their fighting style is as crazy as the 3rd Infantry Brigade, which is the most capable of fighting in the Red Turban Army, and that desperate style of play makes everyone feel very frightened, and in the face of such a crazy opponent, the Northern Army has lost the spirit of attack.

"Immediately figure out the number of the face team." Huangfu Song ordered. He's having a headache right now. If the Red Turbans were as difficult as such troops, they would be in a very bad situation. Huangfu Song felt a little anxious.

"General, general, look at the position of the Red Turban Army." A Sima reported loudly at this time.

Huangfu Song raised the telescope in his hand. He saw a red flag with four large black letters written on it. Separate Brigade.

"You check what kind of formation this brigade belongs to." Huangfu Song ordered. Then he put away the binoculars in his hand. The Red Turban Army has given him too many surprises. This annoyed him. But there is no good way to solve such a problem. At this time, Huangfu Song had to admit that the Red Turban Army was the most capable force.

The red flag of the "Independent Brigade" fluttered on the small river beach position, and all the soldiers were very surprised. They felt that the Red Turban Army on the other side was simply a bunch of crazy people.

Lijiazhuang. On the position of the new army in the West Garden.

"Boom. Rumble. "The new army in Xiyuan can only keep retreating. Because the Red Turban Army on the opposite side didn't know what kind of weapon they had invented, such a large-caliber artillery directly bombarded their heads, which made them feel very uncomfortable, and in such a situation, it was difficult for them to further deal with such a situation.

"Boom. Rumble. With two dull explosions, the flying ** bag smashed on the position of the new army in Xiyuan, and the unlucky people were blown up on the spot.

"What kind of weapon is this?" Yuan Shao put down the binoculars in his hand and asked the junior colonel on the side, they could only shake their heads and answer this question, because they didn't know what kind of weapon was used on the other side, this weapon was very terrifying, it was simply a flying ** bag, which made the soldiers on their front line panic. Neither is it backwards, nor is it forward.

The other party had a musket in advance, and as soon as he went out, he was killed, and he had problems wearing armor, and he retreated. It is simply impossible, and those who retreat will be decided. They had no choice but to dig deeper and deeper trenches. But this won't be of much use at all, because those ** bags will still fall from the sky and smash them. They can't be described.

"Damn the Red Turban Bandits." Yuan Shao could only scold and leave. Because he had no choice, they could only be passively bombed. Tactics. Tactically there is simply no way to innovate.

Because of the large number of cold weapons equipped in the West Garden, their emperor generously provided some "firearms." But now it seems that their emperor provided "firearms." "It's just a joke, these firearms are fireworks, such fireworks weapons, for people who haven't seen it, it's very scary, but, compared to here, such fireworks are simply a big joke, and the ** bags that fly over will send them into the ghost gate in an instant. And those who didn't hit it could only get away with it in other areas, and this situation made their situation very unfavorable. But they don't have a good solution. War is so cruel.

It is precisely because they are equipped with too few firearms. The level is not enough. This makes the likelihood of them attacking tactically very low, very low. In many cases, they are unable to make the right choices to cope with such things. War is like that.

The tactics of the Red Turbans began to stabilize, especially in defensive battles, where the advantage of muskets was further great, and they could shoot calmly. Shoot and kill the soldiers of the New Army in the West Park who came by surprise with ease. And the new army in the West Park in the assault, they only have shields to defend, dig trenches, can only carry out defensive operations, if they attack in a surprise, they will be shot by the opponent's muskets, and if they get close, there are a lot of nasty barbed wire. The presence of these barbed wire fences became their biggest obstacle, and then a large number of spears stabbed them. In frontal offensive operations. The New Army suffered great losses.

But. The tactics of the New Army in the West Park are not entirely suppressible. They began to organize death squads, conducting night raids. They learned from the Red Turbans about the role of the iron pincers. Take advantage of the night to twist the barbed wire. Then take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, because hand-to-hand combat is their advantage, and in the event of a massive assault, this will pull them to heavy losses. And the Red Turban Army could not yet use this rhythm of night sneak attack. For a time, the two sides were constantly seeking tactical progress in defense and assault.

The Red Turbans constantly price their firearms superiority, for example, bombarding each other with flying mines. Or shelling the opponent's strongholds with artillery. The Xiyuan New Army took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack and attack the other side, causing great casualties to the other side at night. This kind of mutual learning and mutual improvement makes them very lively. In such a battle, the Red Turban Army also began to constantly seek self-breakthroughs.

The Xiyuan New Army continued to capture or the Red Turban Army strengthened its own assault force, and the Red Turban Army also began to learn the hand-to-hand combat techniques of the Xiyuan New Army and form their own commando team. Continuous learning and progress between the two. This is a kind of progress in the war.

Huguan County.

It was already besieged by three trenches. More than 4,000 Red Turban soldiers surrounded the place. They kept digging trenches, digging like groundhogs, and the entire Huguan County was completely cut off from the outside world. The Huguan defenders did not expect such a result.

They were in a hurry, because the people who sent them out were caught. The reinforcements from outside would be hit on the road, which made them very anxious.

If that's all they can do, they can hold on, and the defenders don't know where they got so many muskets, and they keep firing. The east city, the west city, or the north city, the south city. Anyway, keep running around and shoot you. They didn't dare to fight back at all, and at the same time they couldn't attack, because they had too few troops. Less to an astonishing extent.

"It's not a way to besiege like this." Li Yun looked at Huguan County with a telescope and said.

"Sir, are we going to attack?" The staff officer said. This time they were well prepared, and they started digging tunnels early and blasting them. At the same time, they also prepared an advance assault, this time with the advantage of muskets. They felt that they would definitely be able to conquer Huguan County this time.

"Don't fucking nonsense, if we can't beat it, we will lose it. Don't fight. Li Yun put the binoculars in his hand on the sandbag and said.

"Sir, the brethren are ready." The staff officer said.

"If you don't fight, you don't fight. I'm going to go you alone. This county is not so easy to fight. Li Yun said.

"Let's summarize it more and think about how to better defeat the county." Li Yun said. For the attack on the county seat. Li Yun was cautious, because they had attacked the county many times, but the taste of failure was very uncomfortable, which gave him the impression that the county town was very difficult to fight, so when attacking the county seat, he always had to constantly summarize and let the soldiers do a good job of experience. He also mobilized his soldiers to figure out how to attack the county town and how to minimize casualties. After all, if the casualties are too large, they will cause too many casualties. This situation will have a great impact on them.

The staff officers were also helpless. They know. Their commander was a little worried.
