"It's easy to set up a command, but, who will be the one who will be such a candidate?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu such a serious question.

"I think you can let Lao Mu go, Zhang Qing is very cautious, and he can serve as the chief of staff." Jia Xu recommended it.

"Hmm. Yes, yes, but, Zhang Qing. He also has to take charge of the Arsenal business. If he were too busy, it seems that some things would not have done this. Shang Wu said with some concern. It's easy to set up a new headquarters, but they have quite a lot of troops. That's something we can't even reconcile. Shang Wu said.

"Well, that's just a consideration for them, and if the situation is urgent, we can also reorganize. But in that case, it will hurt the motivation of our soldiers, which is too difficult for them to solve. Jia Xu said.

"Either way, it seems like the only way to solve this problem. Perhaps, Zhang Qing, the chief of staff, also has a lot to do with the production of his arsenal. Shang Wu thought for a moment and said. Zhang Qing is in charge of the arsenal, he himself is a soldier, so he should also hold such a position, coupled with the particularity of the arsenal, in fact, the chief of staff also needs to accurately distribute weapons and ammunition, there are many troops, there are many battles, and there are many weapons and ammunition needed, how to distribute it is their business.

"Well, although there are many, many risks, however, we also lack the necessary military backbone, and I think we can try this, after all, in such a situation, they can still get a certain amount of exercise." Jia Xu said.

"Well, that's how I appointed. If you do the math, Lao Mu is amazing this time, and he will almost command thirty regiments at once. His command is better than that of me, the commander-in-chief. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Well, but when it comes to commanding, he's not easy at all. Many things are even more serious than our side, many troops are developed from local troops, most of them are militias, guerrillas, the training they receive is also very limited, the combat effectiveness is different, it is very difficult to control such troops, and the number is also very large, the battle is more complicated than our side, the most important way, they have to stop the new army in Xiyuan. Destroy the new army in the West Garden, let's not count on it. Jia Xu said.

"Well, yes, Wenhe, that's what I'm worried about. But leave this problem to them a headache. It's a headache on our side, too. Shang Wu said.

"Starting from Julu, the northern official army has also begun to assemble, their strength exceeds 40,000, including more than 3,500 cavalry, including more than 1,500 cavalry, including more than 1,500 cavalry, if you give them some time, this number may rise to two thousand, we must be prepared to deal with it." Jia Xu said worriedly. The greatest threat is these heavy cavalry. Because in the plain terrain battle, there is simply no one to stop them.

"How's the Yellow Turban doing?" Shangwu asked.

"It's not good, they fought with the Yellow Turban Army three times, and the Yellow Turban Army was routed three times, and the largest number of troops reached 15,000 men, and the official army was only 1,500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry in the vanguard. Less than a thousand crossbowmen. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army was completely defeated. Under the frantic impact of the heavy cavalry, the Yellow Turban Army collapsed, and a large number of soldiers were either chased and killed, or trampled to death, and the whole battlefield was miserable. Jia Xu shook his head and said.

"Hmm." Shang Wu nodded, Shang Wu could think of such a problem, the appearance of the heavy cavalry gave the official infantry a great assault ability, relying on the heavy cavalry coming over like a sea of mountains to crush, only the light infantry of the Yellow Turban Army could not withstand such a crazy attack.

Shang Wu had seen the situation of the heavy cavalry attacking the infantry formation of the Yellow Turban Army sent by Xiaodouzi for the first time, and the cavalry pressed over like a mountain, and when the impact came, there was a chance to cause a large area of casualties, and the cavalry that came from behind. In particular, the light cavalry poured into it from this gap, and then slaughtered frantically from both flanks. The infantry defended mostly frontally, and once a gap was opened by the heavy cavalry and poured through the gap, it would cause extremely insane losses. This loss is quite staggering. For example, this point is reminiscent of the blitzkrieg tactics of the German army in World War II, where they would concentrate their forces to break through a little bit and then pour it into it like mercury. The infantry formation of the Yellow Turban Army is all single in the direction of the enemy, once a hole is torn open, and the light cavalry pours into it through this opening, the result will completely cause the collapse of the entire formation. They spread out from both flanks of the battlefield. Combined with the onslaught of the infantry, this was equivalent to being attacked from more than two sides. This kind of offense is quite crazy. It's crazy to the extreme. The killing will go on completely.

"After the collapse, it is difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to organize resistance again, and they will flee all the way to Xiaquyang, so that the official army will chase all the way to Xiaquyang City. The casualties will be quite large. Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu nodded silently after listening. Even more terrible than the serious casualties caused by the cavalry of the official army was Zhang Bao, who could not fight at all, and he even hoped to resist again and again through the superiority of his troops. They set up a line of defense, but as a result, it was of no use at all. This will only increase the further dispersion of their defensive forces in vain. The situation will be very unfavorable for the Yellow Turbans, who will not fight at all, and they have not adjusted accordingly, even if they do. They can't change either. Perhaps, a slight adjustment will bring them a catastrophe, which is the saddest place at this time.

"Alright. That's it, let's do it. We can't go on. The Yellow Turban Army, after all, is not under our control, and when the 3rd Infantry Brigade arrives, we will drive directly in and intercept the cavalry units of the official army. Shang Wu said.

"The 2nd Brigade, as a reserve, can take it into the mountains, but we will be under a lot of pressure. What if Huangfu Song bites us like crazy? Jia Xu asked.

"Well, that's a real problem. Then, the only way is to force a breakthrough. Shang Wu said helplessly.

"We have to have some killer features, otherwise, I don't think this war is easy to manage." Jia Xu said worriedly.

"What is your good way, our troops have stopped the new army in Xiyuan in the south, where a large number of troops have been consumed, and the total number of officers and troops here is more than 40,000 people, and the pressure is not small." Shang Wu said.

"We can't eat each other at all, and we can't beat each other. We have a killer feature, but only one. What problems can an airship solve. Shang Wu said. Shangwu's killer feature is the hot airship, which is the first time that the airship has appeared in the air combat, and it can be said that this is the first appearance of the extremely young Red Turban Air Force. And as soon as they appeared, they were about to enter a combat state, which greatly affected their combat situation. However, Shangwu had no choice.

"I thought of a way, but unfortunately, we don't have too many people at hand, my idea is to integrate all the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who have broken down, and use the backbone to lead the counterattack, so that we will have a large number of counterattack troops, which may be more beneficial to us." Jia Xu said.

"Temporary incorporation, I'm worried that there will be problems, it's okay to win the battle, but once we encounter some problems, our situation will be in trouble. There are advantages and disadvantages to these soldiers. If we can't take it, it will have a great impact on us. You and I are well aware of this situation. Shang Wu said. Shang Wu understood what Jia Xu meant, and asked the Second Brigade to collect these routs in the back, and then arranged for the backbone to disperse to organize them, which were the troops participating in the counterattack, and they could quickly restore their morale. But the problem is that if the counterattack is not well controlled, and the opponent also counterattacks, it will quickly turn into a large-scale rout, and this rout will quickly affect the development of other situations, which is an extremely unfavorable situation for Shangwu.

"I understand that, but there's really nothing we can do at the moment. Otherwise, we just hit them, and after the impact is over, we can control them immediately, so that the results can be controlled within a certain range, and the risk can be reduced a lot. Jia Xu said.

"Well, that's probably the only way." Jia Xu thought for a while and said. This is a remedy they came up with, that is, to greatly control the strength of the counterattack, and accept it if they see a little good, in this way, it is also a better explanation for them.

"Okay. That's the only way we can do it. Shangwu reluctantly accepted such a way, accepted the adaptation on the battlefield, and launched an attack, such an offensive method, only Jia Xu could come up with. But this is also a very helpless move, after all, passive defense, if you don't counterattack, it is easy to be bitten to death by the officers and soldiers, and simple defense is very disadvantageous.

In Huangfu Song's military camp, the daily advance speed of the army reached fifty miles. This speed is still quite fast, there is no way, the cavalry is already a hundred miles away from them. They keep winning battles and advancing faster. The infantry could not catch up as far as they could in the rear.

"The speed of the cavalry is very fast, at this speed, they will knock down Xia Quyang, and we are only halfway there." Zhu Jun said to Huangfu Song.

"But slow down this. Cavalry was also difficult to fight. Cavalry wanted mobility, but also their impact. The Yellow Turban Army has organized three interceptions, but unfortunately none of them have succeeded. Huang Fu Song said.

"But they're too aggressive. It wouldn't be good if the Red Turbans appeared and surrounded them. Let's wait a little longer, wait for our infantry to arrive, and then attack again. Huangfu Song seemed to be a little cautious. He knew that the Red Turban Army would definitely come back, and he had been worried about this problem, he didn't know what accidents the Red Turban Army would appear in, so in order to avoid such a situation, Huangfu Song became extremely cautious.

"Isn't this too worrying? Shouldn't we be bold enough to take some action, which might be more beneficial to us? Zhu Jun suggested. He believed that because the cavalry actively brought into play the rapid mobility of the cavalry, and let the cavalry stop, it would cause very serious consequences, and the cavalry would be easily surrounded. But Huangfu Song doesn't think so.

"Losing a lot of cavalry cover is not a good thing for us either, so, in a situation like this, we have to do something else to deal with. The cavalry and infantry are one, the two cannot be separated, and don't forget, our biggest enemy is not the Yellow Turbans, but the Red Turbans, and it will be easy to defeat them, but if the Red Turbans suddenly appear and eat up the rapidly advancing cavalry troops, our situation will be very bad. Huang Fu Song said. Huangfu Song's plan was to rely on their cavalry troops to quickly attack the Yellow Turban Army, and they were able to defeat the Red Turban Army. The key to the whole plan is whether they can quickly defeat the Yellow Turbans and form a greater advantage.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Zhu Jun nodded in approval of such a thing.

"How's the situation with the New Army in West Park?" Huang Fusong didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore. At present, it is better to be cautious, he also admits that cavalry combat is a model of rapid combat, but it is this that produces great danger, he has always believed that the Red Turban Army is the biggest enemy, and they will appear in unexpected places, in order not to give the other party a bigger mistake, and the opportunity to encircle and annihilate themselves, Huang Fu Song decided not to make mistakes, so as to avoid his own bad situation to the greatest extent, this is an extremely good choice.

"Their situation seems to be a little bad, they have gone deeper than two hundred miles, and judging by yesterday's battle report, they seem to have stopped. I think, probably, they were surrounded. Zhu Jun shook his head and said. They had thought of such a situation for a long time, but when it actually happened, they still found it difficult to accept.

"In this battle, I have an extremely ominous premonition." Huang Fu Song didn't say anything about this matter, he just said something else.

"Our army will lose this battle. This kind of defeat is something that you and I can't afford, and the court will find it difficult to accept, in order to maintain a peace in the world, you and I must make some choices. Huang Fu Song said.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Jun asked puzzled.

"You old fellow, you won't do anything bad." Zhu Jun said.

"Well, we should also learn some tactics of the Red Turban Army, their tactics still have great merit, and we should build our own strategic reserves. For example, you will be in charge. I plan to divide my troops with 15,000 men and stabilize my position ten miles behind the army. No matter what happens on the front line, you are the last guarantee for us to hold our ground. Huang Fu Song said.

"What the hell did you come up with in mind, old fellow?" Zhu Jun asked worriedly. But Huangfu Song just shook his head. Huang Fu Song thought that he would be defeated this time, and the reason was very simple, because there were too many defeats in this battle. The Red Turban Army will definitely use some new weapons, those weapons can help them to maximize their numerical strength to make up for their lack of troops, and their tactical adjustment is very reasonable, in frontal combat, you have a large advantage in troops, you may not be able to reverse this situation, and you may also invest too much, causing your own losses. In order to avoid this situation, Huangfu Song decided to leave a part of the troops as their reserves. Then they might be much better.

However, Zhu Jun believed that they did not have an advantage in the strength of the Yellow Turban Army and the Red Turban Army, so their forces would be more dispersed, and the possibility of success would be lower. He felt that Huang Fu Song was pessimistic throughout the battle, and in this pessimistic mood, Huang Fu Song did not seek victory at all, but sought defeat, which was simply the worst thing for Huang Fu Song.

"You don't think we're going to lose this time, do you? If that were the case, I would not be able to lead the whole army to fight to the death. Zhu Jun said worriedly.

"Gongwei, you also understand the current situation of the imperial court, the treasury of money and wealth has long been empty, and the power in our hands is the last strength of the Han Dynasty. The possibility of the Xiyuan New Army falling into a siege is very high, you and I must rescue the Xiyuan New Army, otherwise you and I will inevitably be affected. Liangzhou is also unstable now, and the only one who can quell the rebellion is the army in your hands and me. Huang Fu Song said. He originally wanted to desperately defeat the Red Turban Army, although by doing so, the Red Turban Army would also suffer heavy losses, but he didn't believe that he could completely defeat the Red Turban Army, their power had become very large, and they had already lost the possibility of defeating the other party at once. In the long run, it is also for the future of Dahan. The only thing Huang Fu Song could do was to keep an army for the imperial court.

"Just, do it." Zhu Jun looked at Huangfu Song worriedly.

"Hey, you and I can't help it." Huangfu Song said helplessly. Many things are so helpless, the Red Turban Army has risen, they can only face such a reality, if all the family funds are wiped out, the two of them will not be able to escape the blame, and the entire Han Empire will completely collapse. They must remain sustained in such a situation. Only after working hard can they completely turn the current situation around. Zhu Jun can also realize this, this practice may be criticized by the world, but they want to renew the life of this Han court. That's all they can do.

It is such a decision that leaves a chance for both sides to relax, and if they really fight to the death, both will suffer heavy casualties.
