Pingyang County, where gunfire and screams continue. There have been extremely tragic street battles here, and such battles are very advantageous for the Republican Army, because they themselves are infantry, and not only that, but in the face of building fortifications, the Republican Army is simply the ancestor of the Huns.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out. A soldier quickly took refuge, because there was no threat of artillery, the Republican army actually built a high platform on all the commanding heights on the city wall, and built a simple fortress with wood and stone and sandbags around the high platform. There are also wooden planks on it to prevent the shooting of bows and arrows, and there is barbed wire on the perimeter, which is simply the worst weapon for the Huns, because when they attack, they are often accidentally hung up, and if they want to tear it off, they must drop some flesh, or cut some holes, which is simply torture for the Huns. The offense became extremely unfavorable. Because they can't get over such an obstacle in the first place. At the same time, when attacking, they would encounter a constant stream of bullets, a weapon that was no less deadly to the Huns.

Even more terrifying is yet to come, and that is the artillery of the Republican Army. If the Huns used thickened shields to attack, the artillery would inevitably come at them for a while, and after making a loud noise, the Huns' attack would be broken up at once. Very simple.

"Bang." Another gunshot rang out. A Hunnee, who had just emerged and was about to shoot, was hit and fell.

"Well done. The fourth. Pei Yuanshao bent down and shouted. The bunker is relatively small, and for Pei Yuanshao, it is a little aggrieved, but he is happy, he is willing to come to such a place, because this place is where sharpshooters come.

"Fourth, you kid fight well. Enough for fifty, Lao Tzu invites you to drink. Pei Yuanshao shouted loudly. Then he smiled and watched the other guys shoot. Two thousand people, suppressing nine thousand people, for Pei Yuanshao, it may be a little difficult, but in reality. It doesn't seem to be very difficult, because they use muskets, artillery, and the Huns need to shoot when they shoot, which means that the Huns need to stand up, or rather, they need to make a lot of movements, but when they shoot, unless they reload the bullets, they can get it in other ways. In contrast, the advantage of shooting was more advantageous, and with the improvement of the flintlock pistol, the advantage of the musket was far greater than that of the archers at a certain distance. Especially in street fighting, such a special environment. Because of the reinforcement of artillery, in many things, the advantage of the Republican Army is even greater, because they still have powerful artillery to use, while the Huns are completely compressed into a corner of the city. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many of them, two thousand people might not have been able to be suppressed like this.

The Huns continued to disperse, and they sought reinforcements from nearby to open a life route for them from the periphery to get out of here. The situation here is very unfavorable for them, the Republican army is attacking too fast, they have not reacted at all, and they are suppressed here even before the force is deployed, which is simply a huge disaster for them, if such a disaster continues, it will make their situation extremely bad. They must not do such a thing, they need to change this kind of opportunity, at least their situation must develop faster.

But the Huns simply couldn't do this, they had been holding out for a long time. But there was still no reinforcement in sight, on the contrary, the Republican Army was squeezing them step by step, little by little.

Especially those annoying Republican soldiers on the high platform, Pei Yuanshao dispatched sharpshooters, aimed at the other party little by little with the flintlock pistol in his hand, and then knocked the enemy, after killing the enemy, they moved the place again, and then they could continue to suppress the enemy, in this way, the Republican army limited 9,000 people little by little, but their strength was too tight. The enemy is constantly shrinking, although they do not have an advantage in weapons, but the advantage in strength still exists, once the Huns concentrate their forces for a surprise attack, Pei Yuanshao still has no way, so Pei Yuanshao is now insisting, desperately insisting, insisting until the arrival of reinforcements, and now it is to wait until his reinforcements reach what kind of point.

And on the other side. On Li Tie's position, the Huns on the opposite side attacked again and again, trying to break through their positions, but were repelled by the republican army again and again. They could only carry out reinforcements in small groups, but it was simply impossible to want large-scale reinforcements, because the only access was stuck by the Republican army. They simply could not break through. Once a large-scale advance will be met with a powerful artillery attack from the Republican army, in such a situation, there will be no further reinforcements at all.

"How?" Li Tie asked as he walked on the positions of each platoon.

"It's ok. Sir. A platoon commander replied.

"I can't hold on, say it, I'll let the reserves come up, top it, and you guys take a break." Li Tie said.

"No, sir, we can withstand it, it's possible for the Hun cavalry to rush over." The platoon commander replied. The infantry's defensive positions are carefully arranged, and the core of their encirclement is artillery, and the independent brigade disperses all the artillery units they have to various battle groups, and then builds defensive positions on the basis of such battle groups. For example, Li Tie occupies the only small mound near the official road, this mound is very inconspicuous and not high, but it is the only commanding height in this vicinity, and this commanding height suppresses the passage of the cavalry. The threat to the infantry is not very great, the key is in the artillery, and the lethality of the artillery is too great for them. The artillery played a good blockade role, plus the republican army did not know where to plant **. As well as some ** packages. This made the Huns' attack even more helpless, and they also thought that they did not seem to have the technical equipment to deal with such a situation, and their bows and arrows were far out of the range of artillery, which meant that they could only get closer to the enemy after sacrificing more men. But the price they paid was very large. In such a situation, their losses would be very large. In the face of such a situation, their losses will be even greater and greater.

The Huns were also smart, and they finally knew what they had to do. They dismounted, took their scimitars and began to dig trenches, and then little by little they came closer, hoping to trap each other, but in this way, they would take more time, and the cavalry would not be able to send reinforcements in time. Such a situation really makes them very passive.

The situation on the battlefield changed little by little. In fact, these are two different ways of fighting, the republican army is playing the advantage of firearms, while the Huns still use cold weapons, which is destined to be not an equal battle, however, the Hun army has its own advantages, this is mobility, this is the advantage that the republican army does not have, if the Huns know some of the situation of the republican army, boldly launch an attack, there may be some possibility of victory, but the damage caused to them by weapons is definitely not something that people like them can figure out, This directly caused them to be in such a disadvantageous situation. But there's no use in saying that now.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"There are still a lot of inventions in the horse cross, and it's time for our cavalry to play some important roles." Shang Wu said this after reading the telegram.

"Cavalry must also have their own weapons, although they make their own cavalry weapons cost some guns, but we need to understand that such guns, for us, is still very necessary, after all, the construction of cavalry is still very strong, if we have a strong cavalry force, we have mastered the mobility of cavalry combat, and at the same time have a certain ability to mount archery, plus the impact of spears, I think, our cavalry advantage is still very large. Such an advantage will give us more room for development. Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Well, you're right, such a situation is very beneficial for us, and such a situation will make our situation even more favorable. If this situation continues to hit, our advantage will be even greater. Shang Wu said.

"But what do you think about how to use the cavalry?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu. Shangwu has a lot of bold ideas, if it can be carried out according to some of Shangwu's ideas, Jia Xu feels that the advantage is still relatively large, after all, many situations are Shangwu should pay attention to.

"My opinion is that Ma Heng's opinion should be respected, after all, Ma Heng's ideas represent some specific ideas that are most needed on the battlefield." Shang Wu said.

"Ma Heng's view is that they hope to be able to fight a tactical assault on the battlefield first, to give the Huns an unexpected surprise, so that their combat effectiveness can be effectively improved, but at the same time, we also need to note that such an attack may carry a certain risk, such a thing for us. It's a risky thing that we should pay attention to the development of such a situation. Jia Xu said.

"War is inherently adventurous, but being able to carry out a surprise attack on the battlefield will accumulate more experience for our future large-scale assaults, so that they can let go of their hands and feet and do it boldly. Do some surprises that the Huns didn't expect. Shang Wu said.
