The republican military band scared off the Hun cavalry was not an isolated case. Because it has happened before, the Republican soldiers of an infantry company actually relied on the intensive firing of muskets to scare off more than a thousand Hun cavalry retreating at one time. There was also the republican charge, the kind of shrill trumpet that frightened the Huns, thinking that the republican army would attack, and they retreated. In reality, there was less than a squad of Republican soldiers fighting. They're just a small patrol. The list goes on.

The main reason was that the Huns were afraid. They were really scared. Because they're completely different from any of the armies they've fought before. It's an army of madmen. They would attack even with one person, which would normally not happen in the Han army, but the Republican army had repeatedly happened, which forced the Huns to reacquaint themselves with their opponents. This opponent is terrible, they don't just have sharp weapons, they themselves can't figure out what is going on in such a situation, but they know that in such a situation, they are very often. It's still pretty impressive.

It was under such an impression that they completely collapsed. This collapse leads directly to a serious consequence. They can't fight each other.

Because after fighting the Republican Army, they always suffered heavy casualties, and it was such a situation that directly led to their unfavorable situation, and they really couldn't carry out such a situation.

In Pingyang County. Zhou Cang looked at Pei Yuanshao, and Pei Yuanshao sat on the ground and didn't know what to do.

Reinforcements from the Huns arrived in a moment. The communications corps not only brought such unfavorable news, but also even worse news, their chief of staff, Li Tie, launched a charge at the cost of his own life, they hoped to stop the enemy in this way, but unfortunately, there were too few troops. If it weren't for the Huns' rush to reinforce them, they might have suffered the greatest defeat. Those wounded soldiers may not be able to protect themselves.

But they lost one high-ranking officer. This is an indisputable fact.

It wasn't until now that Pei Yuanshao realized. They were wrong. It was wrong in the first place. Their bellies are too small, but they can't eat too many enemies, and the enemies far outnumber them. They want to eat the enemy, and they have too little power.

"Lao Li went and went. This is for our sake, and we must adjust so that we can't let the enemy eat us. Otherwise, we will be besieged, and we will also hold back the enemy and buy time for the other troops. Zhou Cang said firmly. Revenge is certain, but if they are just for their own sake, it will make the situation even more unfavorable.

"Well, we must take this hatred. The enemy wants to eat us, and Lao Tzu will bite off his head even if he dies. If he runs. Lao Tzu cut off their legs. Pei Yuanshao said annoyedly. He felt that he had never encountered anything like this in his life. It was originally a winning battle, and they fought like this, but he really didn't have the face to continue to do such things.

Lijiazhuang. Inside the War Department.

Shang Wu calmly looked at the telegram from the front.

"It's a pity, if we can catch the other party's Shan Yu, our situation will be much better." Jia Xu said.

"Yes, but we shouldn't expect that, what we should see is our own shortcomings." Shang Wu put the telegram aside and said.

"It's true that we have too many of our own shortcomings. Especially the Separate Brigade. They have never suffered such a big loss, they fought with the Montenegrin army before, plus a series of ambush operations, gave them an illusion, that is, the Huns are nothing more than this, but it is such an illusion that gives us a wrong judgment, making us think that the Huns are nothing more than this, and as a result, we have suffered defeat. Jia Xu said helplessly.

"It's true, we are undefeated, we have too many victories before. It is easy for a soldier to have an anxious mood, and we don't notice it in time, and as a result, we have such a situation. This is a huge loss for us. We should pay more attention to this point. Shang Wu said.

"However, if we simply attribute the military defeat to the inevitable defeat of our arrogant army, it is not comprehensive and thorough enough." Shang Wu said.

"That's right. We should also be aware of many other factors, such as the state of the roads and the militias, which, despite the large number of militias in the area are organized, are still very limited in their role, from the formation of the militia to the time it is put into combat, and in some cases it is even shorter. The worst thing is that the land annexation in many places is not going well, the local economy has not been mobilized, and among the many local forces that exist, they are not very active in helping us, and to a certain extent, they have formed a great hindrance to our military operations. Let them control more land and become representatives of local councillors. Let them enter our system, let them get more benefits, and on the other hand, we should take this opportunity to strengthen the control of the population, this control, that is, the progress of urbanization, how to accelerate the progress of urbanization, which requires us to promote industrialization, so that more farmers into the city, become the main provider of labor in the city, so that our situation can be fundamentally improved. Jia Xu said.

"Huh." Shang Wu laughed after hearing this.

"Laughing at what?" Jia Xu looked at Shang Wu and asked puzzled.

"I'm about to become an economic expert. If you retire one day, you will probably be able to become a professor at a university. Or maybe you write a book. I think it's going to sell well. Shang Wu said jokingly.

"Do you think you're going to retire?" Jia Xu said such a question lightly.

"Yes, everyone retires at some point, and it's good to enjoy retirement. There is a time limit for power. Otherwise, he would be very unhappy. There is no need for such a stalemate. Shang Wu said.
