Lijiazhuang. Headquarters of the Red Turban Army.

"Bang." Sangwu was annoyed and threw the report on the table.

"What's wrong?" Jia Xu, who was sorting out the documents here, looked at Shang Wu and asked.

"This second brigade." Shang Wu said angrily. Seeing that the Second Brigade was defeated by Cao Cao's 300 cavalry, Shangwu was very annoyed. The offensive suddenly became unsmooth, and at present only the second battalion held a small piece of the second line of defense, and most of the second line of defense was recaptured by the officers and troops. This was a great blow to the morale of the 2nd Brigade.

"It is normal that the attack of the second brigade did not go well." Jia Xu looked at the report and said.

"Normal?" Shangwu asked.

"Yes, they didn't have much artillery in the first place, and most of it was allocated to the 1st and 3rd brigades." Jia Xu found an excuse for the Second Brigade and said.

"Excuses, complete excuses." Shang Wu said.

"Look at what kind of battle they're fighting. Just like that, a group of people rushed over. What are the artillery units doing to eat, and they are not even provided with cover, and the artillery units are waiting to be sent to the front? Shang Wu scolded dissatisfiedly.

"I think the Second Brigade doesn't know how to fight anymore." Shang Wu said dissatisfied. The entire battalion was crushed. There were more than 500 people in the whole battalion, and in the end, it was less than 100 people, and the casualties were so large, could Shang Wu not be so angry?

"This matter, you can't be in such a hurry, I think the Second Brigade can still be shameful and brave. We should believe them. I don't think it's better to interfere too much with their command. Jia Xu said. Because Jia Xu analyzed it from the overall situation, if Shangwu went to fight such a battle for them. Although the final result was good, the 2nd Brigade was able to defeat the enemy, but at the same time, he himself would make a big mistake, and this mistake was that the 2nd Brigade lost the enthusiasm it should have, that is, the 2nd Brigade had no possibility of fighting alone and independently. This is the scariest thing for the team all the time. Shangwu should start from the overall situation, and start from one place.

"Well, you are right about this matter, you are thoughtful, in this way, we will send a stern criticism to the Second Brigade and tell him that he will definitely not intrude when he loses the battle. His second brigade will always be the second brigade. Shang Wu let out a heavy word.

"Hmm. However, it is also necessary to let them pay attention to the output of artillery and firepower, and only by suppressing the other side can the situation take a greater turn. Jia Xu said. Shang Wu nodded in agreement. In this regard, Shang Wu still agrees. After all, if such a big thing happens, if it is not improved, the Second Brigade will still suffer. Shang Wu still agrees with this.

The Second Brigade had fought some easy battles before, and they had no experience in such battles, so they naturally lost unjustly. But if they can't learn from these places in time and sum up the experience, they will lose a lot of money.

Second battalion position. They just held a corner. Most of them were recaptured by Northern soldiers. The whole position was full of corpses, and most of the Northern Army's were Red Turban Army's. If it weren't for their numerical superiority, and at the same time timely fire from the rear, the artillery shells blocked the opponent's attack. Otherwise, the stronghold of the 2nd Battalion will also be destroyed in the end.

"Fart. Little fart. Chen Dajia shouted loudly from the position.

"Sir, sir. I'm here. The little fart crawled out of the pile of corpses, his face covered in dust, as if he had been dug out of the mound.

"Old skin. Old skins, the living, come out. Chen Dajia shouted loudly.

"Sir, I'm here. Sir, I'm here too. Several soldiers stumbled out of the position. The bombardment inevitably bombarded their own people, after all, let the artillery of the Red Turban Army achieve accurate fire coverage at once, from the point of view of technology, as well as the operational level of the artillery, they simply could not do such a point.

"Ahem. Sir. I'm here too. "One of Old Skin's arms is broken. He shouted through gritted teeth. His mouth was spitting blood.

"Are you afraid?" Chen Dajia asked, little fart.

"I'm not afraid. Sir, I'm afraid, it's useless. The officers and soldiers will still kill, so it is better to fight them to the end. The little fart said firmly. Brutal war, let them recognize. This war will be incomparably brutal.

"Yes. Child, I'm afraid it's useless, it's useless. Chen Dajia looked at the people who were still alive, and there were less than 100 people. They are to hold this position by these hundred men.

"Brothers, they all say that the Second Brigade has not fought a tough battle, so let's call them. Those bloody troops crawled out of the pile of dead people. We've crawled out of the pile of dead. But we're not enough, we're going to stop. Stopped. Chen Dajia said.

"Sir, put out our battalion flag, as long as the flag is still there." The little fart said.

"Yes. Hit it out, let them see, our second battalion, did not withdraw. Chen Dajia said. Part of the second battalion was withdrawn. The rest is Chen Dajiao's part, they didn't have time to retreat to the first line of defense, so they resolutely stayed, they even added some who didn't have time to withdraw, there were originally more than 200 people, but after a battle, more than half of them were gone.

Wheat heaps on the commanding heights.

"What kind of team is this? Are they from the Yellow Turbans? Cao Cao put down the binoculars in his hand and asked Sima on the side.

"General, it is, indeed, but they themselves also raised the banner, which shows that they will hold that position to the end. Our people have also suffered relatively large losses. The cavalry was thankfully withdrawn. But the infantry suffered significant losses. More than 200 people who attacked were killed by the opponent's artillery at once, and the losses were too great. Sima said with great distress. The strength of the counterattack of the officers and troops was very fierce, and as a last resort, Zhang Li could only order the artillery to open up the bombardment, otherwise, the entire position would be lost, in that case, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the second brigade might be torn open by the northern army under the absolute encirclement advantage, in that case, the fun would be great. Although doing so will increase the casualties of your own soldiers. But it's better to collapse the situation all at once. Zhang Li did it anyway.

"The Red Turban Army guarding there is still relatively tenacious, and their fighting willpower is obviously to block it." Sima continued.

"General, we must sweep it out as soon as possible to buy us some time here." Sima suggested.

"Nope. If that doesn't work, let them retreat. We don't have much more troops to consume here, even say. In the next step, the Red Turbans may take advantage of their artillery superiority and bombard us, in which case the losses on us will be even greater. In such a situation, there is still a limit to what we can do. Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao suddenly found that the Red Turban Army on the opposite side did not find its own advantage, that is to say, the Second Brigade on the opposite side still would not fight, because they had a big advantage here, that is, their firepower, as long as they output a large amount of firepower advantage, their situation would become very favorable. But what I'm afraid of is that the Second Brigade suddenly discovered such a point, and in that case, the situation of the Northern Army is still not good. Therefore, Cao Cao had to order Shui Shui to withdraw for the sake of the gathering of his own living forces. They didn't last long.

Within the headquarters of the 2nd Brigade.

Staff officer, Zhang Li, they didn't speak anymore. The blow of this war is big enough for them. They thought they would be able to fight in the morning, but it was already afternoon, and they advanced to the first line of defense. There was still a little stronghold in the second line of defense, and at the cost of one of their battalions being crushed. Shame on you. They felt humiliated like never before.

"Me. I'm a fucking shame. Zhang Li was the first to speak, and he was so excited that he suddenly gave himself a big mouth, and he felt that it was comfortable to beat himself.

"Sir. Sir. The staff officers stepped forward one after another to stop Zhang Li.

"Sir, sir, it can't be like this. Victory and defeat are common things, and this northern army is also quite cunning, which can't be blamed on us. The staff officers said one after another.

"Damn, watching the brothers die there, it's not as comfortable as me Zhang Li dying there, damn it, Lao Tzu is distressed." Zhang Li said.

"Sir, we want revenge, we have to cheer up, we have to take revenge." The staff officers said one after another.

"Yes. Sir, we want revenge. Such a thing must not be counted like this. The staff officers said one after another. In the face of such a loss, they finally recognized the state of their combat effectiveness, but the war continued, and they could only solve all the problems by taking the wheat pile, everything.

"Fuck." Zhang Li scolded.

"Tell me, what are we going to do?" Zhang Li asked.

"Sir, I think we should step up our firepower, and I saw it today. What the Northern Army is afraid of is our superiority in firearms, and our soldiers have a strong will to fight and can fight tough battles, but the problem is that they can fight such battles. The losses were too severe. Our brethren will be consumed. So, let's bombard with artillery. A staff officer said.

"But we only have six pieces of artillery, and the rest are mortars, which have a short range, and before they get close, they are discovered by the enemy, and the possibility of knocking them out is too great. And the other side has cavalry, what should we do? We're down there, we're on top. Another staff officer said.

"Sir, let's dig a trench and slowly approach them. Build the trenches high so that they can avoid the onslaught of the cavalry, and at the same time, our muskets can also fire. As long as we dig to a certain extent, we have hope of victory. A staff officer said.
