"This battle will exhaust the strength we have accumulated with great difficulty, which is a big trouble for us." Xi Zhicai said to Cao Cao worriedly.

Cao Cao just held a telescope and looked at the soldiers on the front line, constantly advancing according to the battle formation of the squad.

Seeing this, Xi Zhicai couldn't continue to say anything. After all, Cao Cao was already determined to do so.

And Xi Zhicai believes that this is completely unnecessary. If someone can persuade them, it would be good, but unfortunately there is no one. This is not a good choice for Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai had already decided that the other leaders of the Kwantung Coalition Army would not support. Because they have been scared by the Kwantung coalition army. They could not reach the water pass, nor could they bear the huge losses of personnel and materials, in such a situation, in the face of such a situation, this is the best way. Perhaps, they would prefer to see the Republican Army and Dong Zhuojun fighting each other. In this way, their situation will be much better, after all, two tigers will fight, and one will be injured. This way they can get the benefits without much effort.

But is it possible? The Kwantung coalition is just too whimsical.

"Boom. Rumble. "The battle began quickly. Dong Zhuojun discovered the abnormality of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and quickly took measures to open fire.

Shells hit loose offensive formations. It brought certain casualties to Cao's army.

But they were loosely formed. The impact of casualties is not very large.

"Kill." The soldier rushed over shouting. They were brave and had only a small number of ***, most of which were still captured. There is also not much ammunition. It is mainly fought by the bravery of the soldiers. The shield is the only defensive weapon they can provide protection. Even the armor has been removed. Because that kind of thing, whether it is the same or not, in such a situation, this is the only way they can expand the war. In this case, they can expand the development status to a greater extent.

"Boom." The shell hit the crowd. Many soldiers fell and never got back up, but they rushed forward anyway. The shield is able to withstand some bullets, but most of the bullets are not able to resist after being hit. It can only be seen how fate goes. The person who was killed fell directly to the ground. Those who were hit could only try to climb back on their own. Climb back, and it may not end too well. Life becomes weak in the face of war.

Xi Zhicai kept shaking his head. This is the loss of their own troops. And the results are not too good.

And the generals of the Kwantung Coalition Army watched Cao Cao's solo attack from a distance. They are not at all sympathetic to this almost foolish way of attacking, on the contrary, some people can laugh out loud. They think. Cao Cao didn't take his power too seriously at all.

And on the other side. Guo Yan felt some pressure. He has already received orders. But Cao Cao's sudden attack. Stresses him out. If Cao Cao leads more coalition forces to attack. Within an hour, his defenses would crumble.

"Hurry, hurry. Don't cherish ammunition. How much to Lao Tzu to call. Guo Yan shouted loudly.

"Artillery, fire at Lao Tzu, bombard, bombard, and reward." Guo Yan shouted loudly.

In order to withstand Cao Cao's fierce attack, he transferred the two infantry regiments with the best equipment and sufficient ammunition to the front line, and only in this way could he suppress it.

War is fought with courage and blood. If Guo Yan couldn't suppress Cao Cao's attack at the first time, they would be seen by the Kwantung coalition army as weak, at that time. They are like sharks that smell blood, and they will be torn to pieces in an instant. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, there is only one best way, that is, to fight, and suppress it with all its strength, only in this way can they have a greater chance to become stronger, otherwise, they will be completely in a disadvantageous situation. In such a situation, they simply don't have a good solution.

War is bloody. Brutal. Under the increasing pressure of Guo Yan. Cao Jun was still repulsed.

Despite the bravery of the Cao soldiers, they fought bravely to kill the enemy. In many places, it also appeared. The practice of holding the ** bag and dying with the enemy. But, none of this is useful. They were still repulsed. Because the forces ahead are too strong. It's not at all that these generals can repel, in such a situation, they can't deal with such a situation at all, and in the face of such a situation, it is impossible to completely reverse it.

"Well, I said, it's impossible. Meng De even wants to try, it's a pity, it's a pity. Yuan Shao said hypocritically. Many generals said pitifully. But it was more of a view of schadenfreude, in their opinion, these were all Cao Cao's own creations, if they hadn't launched an attack without authorization, how could such a situation have occurred.

Jingshi, Luoyang. Colonel One-Eyed sent two militia battalions to carry out a tentative occupation of two nearby neighborhoods.

The militia battalion was very nervous about setting up street defenses, using a lot of sandbags, rubble, and wood to build barriers. Establish fire points and guard posts on the high ground. For the first time, the militia conducted such an operation. Although they were nervous, and even stiffened, the good thing was that everything was good, and they attacked well. After occupying two neighborhoods. Dong Zhuo didn't have any reaction.

No one went on the offensive. No one evicted them, and even when they occupied them, everything was so motionless, which was unimaginable to them.

Colonel One-Eyed watched what was happening on the front line, both blocks were tentative, and if they were attacked, they would quickly retreat. But the situation is that there is no reaction from the enemy on the other side, which makes them not know what to do.

"Sir, shall we continue the occupation, or shall we retreat?" A militia captain ran over and asked their commander. Now they don't know what to do either.

Colonel One-Eyed obeyed the orders of the Ministry of Intelligence. Occupy Luoyang. But the one-eyed colonel was well aware of the strength of their militia, and in such a situation, if they wanted to make greater progress, they could only carry out a tentative attack.

"Occupy there. Heighten your vigilance and pay attention to the movement of the enemy. Colonel One-Eyed said. Now he had to draw two militia battalions again as his reserves. As for what exactly is the purpose of the enemy? He's not interested anymore. What he knew was that if he could hold it, he would keep it. If he can't hold it, he will retreat, and the rest is not something he can control.

Handan, securities market. All the people began to be terrified.

Previously extremely hot military stocks. Now it's falling like crazy. People don't know what's going on. Many people can only passively sell, watching the stocks they sell at a high level become garbage. Then it was swept out.

Cursing and shouting kept coming, and they were now eager to sell all their stocks.

However, Li Li bought a large number of bank stocks at one time. Because bank stocks are cheap. The price is attractive. News is flying everywhere in the securities market. No one knows what's going on.

Leary heard a lot of news about what the Republican Army had encountered with the enemy's strong resistance. And what else is in a situation with the logistics of the Republican Army, roads, etc. This leaves a lot of people confused. This is the case with the war.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"The situation in terms of logistics and supply is relatively good, after all, the militia has helped us solve a lot of problems, but on the Yellow River, we can't build a wider pontoon bridge on the ice, the boats are all small boats, and the infantry can pass, but our artillery, as well as logistics vehicles, will all be blocked, and if the infantry crosses, the result will be very bad." Jia Xu said.

"What's the solution?" Shang Wu asked, holding a charcoal pencil.

"Mobilize some pontoon equipment to get there, but it's a bit more cumbersome to transport." Jia Xu said.

"The pontoon equipment cannot be transported by horse-drawn cart and takes a long time. In such a case, we had to use airships to transport the equipment. And dismantled for transportation. This is the fastest way to do it. Jia Xu said.

"Well, well, even though we're here for bombing, we can also use it to hoist some special parts to help us solve some of these problems." Shangwu agreed to do so.

Air troops, airships are in the hands of the War Department, and the original Republican Army planned to use airships for bombing missions, such as Luoyang, the Beijing Division.

But now, the bombing mission turned into a transport. In such a situation, it can only be so.

"I'll do that as soon as possible." Jia Xu said.

"In the next situation, we are faced with a situation where if we are expelled and safely take over Luoyang, and Luoyang is safe, our situation becomes favorable." Jia Xu said.

"Well, but there's many, many variables on this issue." Shang Wu said. Safely occupy a Luoyang, although Dong Zhuo assured them that they were willing to hand over the capital of Luoyang to the Republican Army to repay part of the principal. But such a situation does not seem to be too favorable.

Because Jingshi Luoyang has a lot of wealth, they can achieve this situation through robbery.

But there is no more military force to control there, which is the only way to do it for their situation.

In this matter, Shang Wu could only choose to go with the flow in such a situation, and let the situation develop as the Republican Army expected.
