Jingshi, Luoyang, the city is full of the sound of battle, and the situation is very bad.

"Sir, the situation seems to be getting a little out of hand." The lieutenant was anxious to find Colonel One-Eyed and said.

The Colonel looked at the other man, then motioned for him to continue.

"Some of the infantry battalions that we originally put in, they opened fire on the other side without permission. The rest of the infantry battalions attacked without receiving orders at all. Circumstance. Very bad. The only defensive force we may have at our disposal will not be able to draw up enough reserves. The lieutenant told what he saw.

The lieutenant then explained the changes that had taken place on the map.

Originally, they formed twelve infantry battalions. and twelve improvised infantry battalions, all of which were temporary military units, most of which were tasked with military defense. Now, however, half of the forces have taken the initiative to attack. But the one-eyed colonel didn't give them the order to attack at all, but only let them defend. And step by step, the battalion expanded the defense area. As a result, it was all messed up all at once.

More than half of the troops took the initiative to attack, and most of them lost contact, what they knew was that as long as there was a place for fighting, they were still there. As for the specifics, God knows.

The chaotic situation annoyed Colonel One-Eyed, not that the troops did not follow orders. It's that the situation is out of control.

The reason for the attack was even ridiculous, they took the initiative to attack when they saw that there were rioters and robbers, and some people who saw that the people who had organized themselves were resisting, they also took the initiative to attack, and the defensive task was thrown away. The officer who led the assault was very irresponsible. And the situation is completely chaotic.

"Still, there is some good news. Sir. The lieutenant said helplessly as he looked at the colonel with a blue face.

"Some of the rebels surrendered to us on their own initiative. There are many more people coming into our area. There were also some places in the city that spontaneously organized themselves to resist. They may be a base of encouragement, but they can go a long way toward meeting our expanding needs. The lieutenant said.

"Now everything is messed up. The situation is out of control, we have no reserves in our hands, we can't guarantee the security of the current area, if there is a sudden retreat of a large number of rebels in the city, or on the front line, how do we respond? Colonel One-Eyed asked.

The lieutenant did not know how to answer this question, because he himself could not answer it.

"The only thing we can do now is to organize more militias and get the elderly and women to join the fight. From the factories, we have to take out some of the forces, we have to put them in order, and then we have to connect all the areas that we are scattered about. Otherwise, it will be impossible to clean up when we have a big mess. The colonel said. The lieutenant nodded in agreement.

That may be the only way to do it now.

Xicheng District in Luoyang City. A unit of the 3rd Battalion of the militia, which had already stormed the area, was holding out in a large compound.

Their ranks numbered more than eight hundred people. Now, there are more than 1,500 of them. And the number of people is still increasing.

Li Gan was just a young man in his early eighteen. He was a member of the militia, he had no firearms, he was given only a spear.

There were many others like him, all with spears.

"Those damn rebels, grab everything. When he saw a woman, he pounced on it. One of my older brothers was killed. My sister-in-law didn't know where she went. They really deserve to be killed. A teenager said angrily. His weapon was only a pitiful stick. There was also a wound on his face. Others just dealt with him briefly, but this guy insisted on revenge.

Li Gan can understand the situation, and the whole of Luoyang is suffering from such an ordeal. All of a sudden, the extra people have such a painful experience. Some people had to organize themselves in order to protect themselves. But they are rarely able to defeat the rebels. Because after all, they have a certain amount of combat experience, they know how to fight, and this kind of thing is not very difficult for them.

Battles usually take place under such circumstances. It is very difficult for the spontaneously organized behavior of the people to defend themselves against such an attack, and many people know that if they want to deal with such an act, they will not be able to make a big difference in the situation.

The participation of the militia battalions gave some hope to these acts of self-defense, and they soon became the backbone. When many people heard about it, they quickly gathered together, and the militia battalions did not become less powerful against the rebels, but on the contrary, more and more people participated, knowing that only the militia battalions under the control of the Republican Army had enough combat strength to maintain this vigorous fighting. This is where they are luckiest.

Less than twenty miles west of Bishui Pass. Guo Yan received an extremely annoyed message.

Originally, he used the miscellaneous army behind the palace, but he actually burned some grain and grass with a fire. The fire stands here and can be seen. Not only that, but they also burned down some of the defenses of Bishui Pass. They deliberately created the illusion that the Kwantung Coalition was attacking on a large scale, and then took the opportunity to escape.

What's even more ridiculous is that Guo Yan's elite forces, which have already taken the first step, are lagging behind those miscellaneous armies. And the ragtag army behind the original palace actually ran in front of them. The affairs of the queen of the palace were handed over to Guo Yan instead.

Guo Yan was annoyed. But there is no very good way to deal with such a thing, because this is the case, and there is no very good way to deal with such a thing. It's ridiculous, but there's no way to deal with it.

"Get everyone up, speed up, we have to get out of here quickly, otherwise, we're going to be annoyed." Guo Yan hurriedly gave an order.

The latest situation is that the Republican army has crossed the Yellow River, they have appeared on the flank of Guo Yan's army, and if the other side pounces on it at once, everything will become extremely bad. This is simply the most difficult situation for them to deal with.

Now, he had to get out of here as soon as possible. Those ragtags have caused him too much, too much trouble.

Guo Yan wanted to kill all those stupid guys, but there was nothing he could do. The situation on the battlefield is changing too quickly. It was a bit of a struggle for him to deal with. The situation is so chaotic. Wanting to make a bigger difference seems unlikely.

Fifty miles south of the Yellow River, the Republican Army's Fifth Infantry Division was advancing rapidly.

Cao Anglian who is the flank of the flank. They ran into some problems.

Cao Ang's troops were on the flank of the entire Fifth Infantry Division, and to their left, they faced the threat of retreat from Dong Zhuo's army and the attack of the Kwantung coalition forces. But I don't know exactly where it is. The information provided above was also very limited, which forced Cao Ang to ask his team to be cautious and slow down their progress.

"Sir, we caught some routs while we were on patrol." A sergeant reported back to Cao Ang after seeing him.

"Is there anything we need to be aware of?" Cao Ang asked the sergeant.

"Yes, sir, sir, I think there are some things that we should be aware of, at the very least, I think there are some surprises that seem to be coming from the current situation." The sergeant said.

"Tell me about it." Cao Ang said.

"The captives confessed that they were from Bishui Pass, and their commander ordered a large amount of baggage to be burned, and then the whole army began to flee. They were supposed to be behind Guo Yan's army, but now, they had fled to the front. The sergeant said.

Cao Ang suddenly realized something big.

"They heard that their lord in Luoyang had abandoned Luoyang, the capital of Luoyang, and fled to Chang'an. Abandoning Luoyang will create even greater panic for them. We must take note of these developments. The sergeant said.

"I see. I know what to do. Cao Ang patted the other party's shoulder and said.

Cao Ang realized a big problem, the republican army received an order to directly rush to Luoyang, the capital division, and occupy Luoyang, but Dong Zhuo's main force was deployed at Bishui Pass, and Luoyang was empty. And these main forces could create bigger problems for the Republican Army, not only for the Eastern Coalition Army, but also for the Eastern Coalition Army, which would be even more serious if they were to follow suit. Cao Ang realized. The flank threat of the Republican Army has become even greater. They have to face such a problem seriously and come up with a solution, otherwise their problem will become extremely terrifying. It is very likely that their current victory is in a losing state. This is definitely not the situation that everyone wants to see.

However, the main force of the republican army was given the task of advancing and occupying Luoyang, and for the main force, their commanders did not clearly express their desire to destroy, and they regarded the occupation of Luoyang as the only criterion for victory. And turned a blind eye to Dong Zhuojun's main force. That's where the trouble comes in.

Because the latter will pose a greater threat to them, the key is that there are two main forces that pose a greater threat.

Cao Ang met with their commander and explained the possibility of such a threat. However, they did not arouse enough awareness that the Republican Army had already seen victory. That is the capture of Luoyang, which is the only criterion for victory. As for the main forces, that's not their main consideration, it's for them. There is no need to think about it at all.

The first time the Republican Army carried out such a long-distance large-scale advance, it attached great importance to strategic objectives, and for the existing threat, the hostile mobile forces, did not seem to be aware of the great threat, this is the first time that the Republican Army has encountered such a thing, and they naturally cannot judge the magnitude of the threat. They pounced directly on the main target, although Luoyang was stationary. But occupy there, it is enough.
