"How? Captives ran everywhere. They're all about to enter Nakajo Mountain. Ma Heng shouted loudly in his headquarters. He was very dissatisfied. The cavalry attack was much smoother than before, and it was much smoother. The Hedong Army didn't know that their rear was sold by Dong Zhuo. The Republican cavalry rushed from their rear at once. The results can be imagined. All the barracks were boiling. Confusion. The Great Escape. Rout. In short, all bad things have happened. A lot of people are running.

Although some of the Hedong Army chose to raise their hands and surrender in place, they thought that this was the best way, in fact, it was also the best way, and this way could not be better.

"Sir, the cavalry attack is too fast, and our infantry is still in a state of waiting when the cavalry attacks, and by the time we get the signal, it is too late to weave around. Moreover, the tactics of the cavalry were too barbaric. They are directly attacking the opponent's battalion, they are fighting a rout, but we, so, sir, I think you should understand some of the current situation, this is the most disadvantageous place for us at the moment. The operational staff officer said helplessly.

Indeed, for the Republican Army, the victory came too suddenly.

The cavalry launched an attack very quickly, and it was a large-scale scattered attack, coupled with the insufficient number of cavalry of the republican army, it was impossible for them to adopt the tactics of large-scale encirclement and annihilation operations, on the contrary, they spoke more about the kind of flexible and mobile tactics, which doomed the republican cavalry to quickly attack the opponent's command and attack their command system, as long as there is a place where the Hedong army gathers on a large scale, they will inevitably attack from multiple directions, and the mobile and flexible tactics directly lead to a great disaster in their situation, The Hedong Army, which lost its command, was instantly disorganized. Many of them knew that something very was going on, and they also knew that there was a lot of chaos, and in order to escape for their lives, they began to enter the southern Nakajo Mountain, and they tried to climb over the Nakajo Mountain to return to their hometown. The entire Hedong Army was like this, they didn't fight much, and they themselves were already in chaos.

"Sir, this kind of thing, in fact, we don't have much to do, the reason is very simple, many times, we can't solve such a problem ourselves, according to our estimates, the Hedong Army was already at a very critical point of collapse, but our cavalry launched very quickly, accelerating this collapse, however, the situation is still under our control, what we need to do is to quickly push flat, advance to the Yellow River line, and establish a stable defense line." The operational staff officer then said this. The problems that arise are not their main considerations, their main considerations are to solve the problems, and their main purpose is to level the line of defense and solve the major problems of their defense.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. Let the troops advance in parallel. Don't get ourselves in too much trouble. Ma Heng said.

"Yes, sir, I think we'll be able to solve some of these problems soon." The operational staff officer said. The infantry advanced in parallel, and the other problems were not very big, they were equivalent to the aftermath, and the damned cavalry came too quickly, and they beat the Hedong army at once.

In fact, the cavalry units of the republican army were the Hedong Army itself, which had been in a state of low morale and extremely poor supply for a long time, and because of the corruption of military discipline in the supply products, such a thing was already expected. It's just that they rout too quickly. This greatly exceeded the expectations of the IRA. It is too much of a surprise to their plans, but fortunately this accident can be quickly remedied, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

After the staff officers had fixed their plans, everything began to go smoothly, and at least their situation was much better, so that their situation could be much more favorable. The situation of the war requires them to change a lot of states in order to accomplish such a thing.

Lijiazhuang. The War Department, the War Department got busy. Once the war starts, it becomes very busy, and it doesn't seem too busy in normal times, mainly to deal with some official business, but once the war starts, the fighters and administrative staff here are very busy. Shangwu seems to be already thinking about something. That is, how to make their situation favorable, that is, to put their situation in a very favorable situation.

"The War Department is still too busy. It seems necessary for us to divide the operation. Shang Wu looked at the busy war department and said.

"Yes, there are too many people, and it is easy to cause intelligence leaks. I'm very worried about that, but at the moment, a lot of things have exceeded our expectations, and that's all we can do. Jia Xu said.

"This matter still needs to wait until the end of the war, and at present, it is not suitable, but at present, we still need to do a lot of things, such as Dong Zhuo's military assistance, military advisers and a series of things. Li Dao saw our cavalry unit in Hexi Prefecture, and he spoke highly of it. Pretty high, and he'd like to be able to get some support from us. Of course, they will provide more benefits, and they will allow us to do more business, such as horses, and the horses from Xiliang are very good and can meet our military needs. Jia Xu said.

"Well, such a business can be carried out, and some weapons can also be given to them, such as cuirasses, swords, and related firearms and equipment can be provided to them." Shang Wu nodded and agreed, strengthening the relationship with Dong Zhuo could contain part of the power of the imperial court, as long as Dong Zhuo was strong and ambitious, the more favorable their situation would be. Because this will form a great favorable strategic situation for the Republican Army, Dong Zhuo's target is not the Republican Army, he knows too well the combat effectiveness of the Republican Army. The two sides have played each other a few times, and such an opponent is simply not something he can deal with. Dong Zhuo knew very well, so he chose to cooperate very soberly, otherwise, their situation would not have progressed to such an extent.

"Is horse artillery OK?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu. After all, this weapon was of great significance to the innovation of cavalry tactics.

"Yes, but only on the condition that they accept a series of diplomatic support from us, for example, sending diplomats, and we can strengthen our military advisers, which is a repetition of the same old rhetoric, but it has to be done." Shang Wu said uncompromisingly, because he believed that the other party needed military advisers. At the same time, military advisers are also an important window into the way the other side fights. Shangwu didn't want to lose such a window, because they could achieve the result they needed through something like this.

"Well, that's how it settled." Jia Xu nodded in agreement. After all, such a situation is still too important for them. If they can handle some of these things properly, it's better for them to do as much as possible.

"However, if I were Dong Zhuo, they might be dealing with the imperial court's army from some other direction, and it seems that they don't need to do this." Jia Xu said. After all, Dong Zhuo's money is not blown up by the wind, and it costs money to hire military consultants, will Dong Zhuo spend such an expense? Obviously, the other party doesn't like it.

"I don't know much about this, we still need to negotiate with them, otherwise, it's really not easy to operate." Jia Xu said. 、

"Well, we'll just have to wait and see." Shang Wu said.

In fact, Li Dao had a very good impression of the Republican Army, and he thought that if he could train a pure firearms unit in the manner of the Republican Army, he thought it would be acceptable, but the problem was that Dong Zhuo did not know the gap between them and the Republican Army, and he never knew this. He only knew that the other side's combat methods were strange, but he did not know at all the advantages of firearms occupying the main combat situation in the future. This creates a large gap in understanding. The most important thing is that Dong Zhuo is a pragmatist, mainly useful, and he thinks that this is a good solution to the current practical problems, which is the gap between them.

However, Li Wei's recognition cannot be denied, because he has always firmly believed that the advantages of doing so are very great.

Jingshi, Luoyang.

"Come and see, I feel that there will be problems in Hedong." Cao Cao said this to Xi Zhicai. Cao Cao didn't know why he said this, he always had such a feeling, this feeling was very sensitive, sensitive. He has to maintain such a posture, so for some things like this, he always thinks of ways to accomplish some of these situations.

"Will something go wrong?" Xi Zhicai asked puzzled.

"From what I read in the newspapers, the newspapers always pay attention to some issues related to the annexation of states, but the imperial court has obviously mobilized Dong Zhuo, and according to the defense level of the Republican Army, the Republican Army should strengthen their defense forces in Hedong. But the newspaper did not say it. Instead, they focus a lot of attention on the state, don't you think it's strange? Cao Cao asked with his own skeptical spirit.

"That's enough to make us suspicious." Xi Zhicai said.

"The silence in the newspapers may mean that the IRA has taken action. And, most importantly, Hedong was very important to them, and by occupying there, they had the Yellow River to defend. This is a very important point. Cao Cao said. It was hard for Cao Cao not to doubt this approach.
