Luoyang, Beijing.

"Good. Well, these republican thieves actually took the initiative to attack the Huns in Hexi. Emperor Han Ling said excitedly.

"Still. What if they defeated the Huns? Suddenly, Emperor Han Ling said calmly.

"No, no, how is it possible, how can they defeat the Huns, absolutely impossible. When pigs fly. Emperor Han Ling said this. He was in a state of surprise and joy at the same time. Surprisingly, the republican army actually crossed the Yellow River and entered Hexi, and Hexi, an area controlled by the Huns, seemed to be not afraid at all. They were able to take the initiative to attack Hexi under such a situation, but he was worried that the Huns in Hexi would not be able to resist such an attack. Judging from the results of many battles, especially the fact that the Republican Army has not been defeated so far, this situation still has a very great impact on them.

Happily, the Republican army taking the initiative to attack the other side may cause them to suffer a defeat, after all, the Huns are very difficult to deal with. In this case, their chances of winning will be very high. Thinking of this, he was happy, in fact, Emperor Han Ling's current situation was very complicated. He didn't know what kind of situation was going to affect him.

And Zhang Rang, who was on the side, was also hesitating. He had just sent a telegram, the record of which had been destroyed, and he absolutely could not let them see such a kind of evidence. Otherwise, his situation will be extremely unfavorable. Because Wang Yun's matter has reminded him that he can't have such a mistake again.

He didn't know too much about the attack on Hexi, but he knew that the Republican Army had such a big move, and such a big move could bring them greater profits. After all, the most profitable thing for their Republican army to fight is to fight, and in such a situation, their situation will become much more favorable. As long as they make money, they will hit Luoyang, and they will agree, after all, this has nothing to do with them.

General's Palace. He Jin knew such a thing, and took it out to discuss with everyone, he hoped that the son of tomorrow would let the Xiyuan New Army launch a battle to recover Hedong, so that even if the imperial court recovered Hedong, their situation would be regarded as much progress.

"Now the republican army has crossed the Yellow River west and taken the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, which is against the way of heaven. He will be punished. Yuan Shao said.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the new army in Xiyuan was in the hands of Jian Shuo, and Jian Shuo controlled most of the military power, and once the general had to obey his dispatch, which was a big blow to the powerful landlord group, and such a blow was too great a loss for them. And if they can weaken the new army in Xiyuan by recovering Hedong and fighting, if both sides are defeated, they can profit from it, but if they can't be defeated, or if the losses are too great, they can all gain military power to strengthen their control over these areas, so that their situation can be greatly controlled.

This is a typical practice of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, which makes Cao Cao very disgusted.

"The Republican Army is for our own righteousness. The people of the Central Plains suffered a lot, and the Huns hung over our heads, eyeing each other, and now we don't support it. He even took advantage of the fire to rob like this, alas. Cao Cao said after listening to this.

If it was Cao Cao, he would never send troops, and he would also support the republican army, the reason is that the republican army is fighting for the people of the Central Plains, and the Huns are eyeing it, once they go south, the consequences are unimaginable, and now the situation is extremely weak, and it should not have been fought like this, but the general, Yuan Shao, actually said such a thing. Cao Cao sometimes feels very aggrieved, like this. For a while, everyone couldn't get off the stage. The venue was quiet for a while.

But Cao Cao felt that he might as well be a republican cavalryman, go to the northern frontier, fight a lot, and come happily.

On the battlefield of Hedong.

Ma Liu's scouts kept gathering the information they had gathered, and their forces were once again gathered together. They were reinforced by a battalion of mounted infantry. They collected all the horses of the local herdsmen, and the republican army announced that they would distribute pasture to them at a price. This came as a big surprise to the local herders. Something like this caused a lot of stir. Everyone felt that the sky on the prairie was about to change.

"The result of our reconnaissance was that the locals said that it was an old road, and along this old road, it was possible to reach the loop directly. However, in this way, our logistical supply may be completely cut off. A combat staff officer told the information that had been gathered.

Scouts learned about the existence of an old road from local captives, as well as from the local population. Ma Liu and the staff officers didn't know the origin of this old road, in fact, he was the Chi Dao of the Qin State. Not far from them to the west, so that they could start a roundabout battle again from the edge of the battlefield. Ma Liu's plan is like this, the cavalry should make many detours, this time they take the initiative to attack, they will inevitably be discovered by the other party, if they continue to attack, it will inevitably be unfavorable to them, and the most advantageous way at present is to launch such an attack directly. There is a place in the detour that they could hardly imagine.

However, their maps are very ignorant of the local roads, and it seems difficult to get to the north.

But at this time, the abandoned Qin State Chi Road gave them a lot of help, and although the cavalry reconnaissance did not know exactly where this passage would lead, it might be able to reach the grasslands in the north. In this way, they will be able to launch a large-scale attack.

"It's too risky. Even if there is an increase in cavalry infantry, it can't make things so advantageous all at once, can it? A staff officer objected.

They don't know how far to go in combat. Such a combat distance makes them very worried about their logistical supplies, if the enemy's large-scale counterattack comes, their ammunition cannot keep up in time, what will be the result? Their losses will be very large. In particular, communications. It was almost a suicidal offense. It's very dangerous, and everybody sees people like that.

"Damn, I think you've all turned into rats." The chief of staff said solemnly at this time. All the staff officers did not know what to say.

"You are also people who have gone to military schools, do you know what the commander taught you when you were in the military school?" The other party asked.

All the staff officers did not know what to say, and they did not know what kind of opinion their chief of staff was going to express.

"In order to win, it is necessary to boldly penetrate into the rear of the enemy, and now our troops have penetrated deep into the rear of the enemy. Whether the enemy can prepare for such a situation is of no significance to us. At this time, we can't be like a thief, stealing something and running away. This is definitely not the practice of our IRA. We should boldly enter it, the rear is the enemy's home, and we should smash the opponent's home. Completely destroying their home will be ruined. We must not be like a thief who steals something and leaves. It's definitely not something we do, otherwise we'd be too embarrassed. The chief of staff said.

"That's right, if we don't, we'll be ashamed. That is, the entire cavalry regiment was wiped out. We also want to smash the homes of the Huns, not only to smash their bottles and cans, but also to smash their homes into a big hole, so that they can go home and cry. Ma Liu said resolutely.

When they came to Hexi to fight, all the troops were small-scale operations, and such operations were simply painless, which made them very unable to let go of their hands and feet. Ma Liu didn't know what they were going to do next. But now they're going to do it, that's it. This made Ma Liu very uncomfortable, even annoyed, they were a cavalry regiment, and they were actually doing guerrilla things.

"The chief of staff, for example, said it very well, damn it, our cavalry regiment is about to become a thief regiment. It's so sneaky, it's not at all like the style of our cavalry regiment, what is a cavalry regiment? The cavalry regiment should be like the heroes of Liangshan, and they will break into Kyushu in a hurry. Brethren, whatever is behind and what is ahead. Something is in our way. Whatever it is, kill directly. Ma Liu said resolutely.

"Kill. Kill. Kill. The staff officers did it loudly, and at this moment their courage came out. They don't care about this, as long as they can kill it, it's good.

"This mounted infantryman, the idea is good. Very good. Shang Wu came out of the back room with a telegram and said this.

"What's wrong?" Jia Xu walked over and asked.

"Look at the infantrymen on horseback, I think we should do the same." Shang Wu said.

"I suddenly had an idea, that is, to draw a battalion from the cavalry regiment, or a cavalry company, and then use this cavalry unit as the backbone to expand the number of our military units, such combat units, although they are not cavalry, but they can keep up with the rhythm of cavalry operations, they mainly dismount to fight, in this way, they can also form a great support for cavalry." Shang Wu said excitedly.

Cavalry units are tank combat units, and those infantry on horseback are motorized troops, so that both sides have high mobility, and the battle will naturally speed up the battle. This is probably the earliest cavalry blitzkrieg. Shang Wu suddenly felt that such a theory was very suitable for this. So Shangwu was excited.

Jia Xu is still thinking about the feasibility of such an approach, after all, such a way of fighting has never been done before.
