"At present, our army can only withdraw troops and compress the front to return to defense." A general said at this time.

"In addition, our army must immediately withdraw forces to recapture the bridgehead position, and not only that, but also to get in touch with the other side as soon as possible. If you attack together, you can crush the Zhao army. "This time. A Qi army general arched his hand and said.

"Time." An older general of the Qi army suddenly said something at this time.

"Our army is far slower than Zhao's army in terms of time. Our army should act as soon as possible. But the transfer of troops. Our. Fear. It is already difficult to surpass Zhao Jun. At this time, an older white-bearded general said.

After the old general finished speaking, everyone stopped talking. They understand very well that they are about to lose in time, and time cannot make up for this mistake in any way.

Tian Heng has no choice. The last troops in his hands have already been dispatched. All that remained was a few infantry defending the camp, and these infantry simply could not assemble and attack the Zhao army in a short period of time. Everything has become so unfavorable.

The Qi army is facing a catastrophic scene, and where the future is, they simply can't see it.

But at the junction of Wei and Korea, Chendi, this place, the newly born Republic of Chen is about to face the first battle, and they will fight for their country.

The fighting between the two sides was fought in the wilderness outside the city. On one side was the private army organized by the nobles of the Wei State, and they were equipped with relatively backward weapons. All of them are cold weapons.

And the other side. It is the New Republic Army, which was formed by the militia of lawmakers who had improvised it. Abbreviated as the Republican Army.

"Knock knock." The private soldiers of the nobles of Wei became aggressive. There were more than 3,000 of them. The private soldiers of the nobles, although not regular troops, were also trained in the regular army part. The formation, although not to a certain extent compared with the regular army, they believed that it was more than enough to deal with these militia forces.

"Boom. Bang la blah. The private soldiers pressed over with great momentum.

"Knock knock knock." The drums of war on the chariot thumped. The hearts of those who shook hurt their hearts.

"Those slaves still want to fight us." A nobleman in elaborate armor stood on a chariot and said.

"They have also issued a war letter, and everything has to be done according to the rules." A doorman on the chariot said respectfully.

"Hmph." The aristocracy looked down on the army organized by these commoners. They believed that they could completely defeat the army formed by these slaves with the strength of their forces. In the eyes of the aristocracy, the status of commoners is like that of slaves, and their status is Beijiang, and they are not worthy of all rights. They have a great deal of contempt for the common people.

"Kill. Kill. "At this time, the swordsmen and axes of the nobles of the Wei State walked in front with heavy shields, which they were specially prepared to deal with the opponent's muskets.

On the other side was the newly created Republican Army. Because the time to establish was too hasty. From the time when the Parliament proclaimed the establishment of the Republic of Chen. They began to hastily assemble their own army.

Military uniforms can't catch up, so the Republican Army doesn't have a uniform uniform, they all wear civilian clothes. The army of various colors is patched together, making them look untidy. In terms of momentum, they cannot be compared with the regular army.

Most of the IRA is a patchwork of local militia forces from the councillors, and the militias are being assembled everywhere, and the fighting has already begun. They took the initiative to send a war letter to each other, and the other party actively faced the battle. And the Republican Army rushed to meet the battle. Less than 1,200 militias from all over the country have gathered here. They were significantly outnumbered by their opponents, and in terms of weapons, they were armed with about eight hundred muskets of all kinds. There was no such heavy weapon as artillery.

In order to cobble together the numbers, the parliament had to re-order the government to recruit more and more people to fight. They actually learned from the South Korean army, and for the first time, they paid the soldiers they recruited. Just get involved.

The government's call immediately attracted a large number of industrial workers. Due to the lack of weapons in the government, South Korean factory owners volunteered to provide their own weapons, and most of the taxes collected were also paid by them, but these were simply not enough. As a last resort, the parliament sold some of the land of the state in return, and in this way, the factory owners exchanged a large amount of money for the land and the various facilities, the owners of the mountain forestry resources.

The factory owners got these things at the urging of war.

But these funds are still not enough to support them to fight such a war, but the war has already begun. As long as it doesn't end, they will keep fighting.

Under the call of the government and the lure of military salaries. A large number of workers, the common people joined in. The number of people swelled to more than 4,000 at once. But how many of them have combat effectiveness, this is unknown, at the worst time, the expansion of numbers, brought about not many well-trained soldiers, those civilians who joined in, some of whom did not even receive military training.

The Republican Army numbered more than four thousand people. There were nearly 2,000 muskets, but some people couldn't shoot them after getting them, and the worst thing was that the Republican Army had a wide range of weapons. Some are imported, some are given by factory owners, and some are cobbled together imported goods. There are all kinds of weapons. In addition, the calibers and sizes of the production are also different, and it is not known whether these weapons will be able to play a significant role.

Most typically, some muskets were left without bullets, and some muskets and flints were not replaced. Such weapons are not as good as the cold weapons equipped by the other side. The worst thing is that the Republican Army does not have a single cannon, and the army they formed was too hasty. In a hurry, there is no heavy weapon, just imagine, they can't have such a weapon, their funds are not in place, plus they are too hasty to set up, and there are factory owners who will not buy weapons like artillery for self-defense. The artillery was simply too heavy.

In addition, they have an extreme lack of officers, and the organizational structure of the army is extremely uncoordinated, and many people do not know their officers, and the officers do not know how many people they have. What is the name and so on. There are too many such cases.

Although the Republican Army is numerous, they have too many shortcomings. Officers lack a certain level of organizational skills, while soldiers lack training, especially combat experience, and many of them lack combat experience. In terms of weapons, although they have muskets, training, tactical arrangements, and the lack of heavy firepower make their combat effectiveness not strong. After all, they are all militias, they are new forces, and it is normal to be weak.

"Stand up, hurry up, and everyone with guns will come to the front." At this time, a Republican Army officer shouted loudly, there was no rank marking, and many people did not know how big the officer's position was. Fighting for them, nothing.

"Damn it. You've stepped on my feet. A Republican soldier with a wooden stick said. The soldier with the musket who walked past only glanced back and walked away.

"Damn, I wish you an early death." The soldier cursed.

After constant reprimands and calls from the officers, the Republican forces for the time being, arranged their armed forces into a simple firing line, followed by other armed men who were not too neat in the battle column, and they carried all kinds of weapons, such as spears, halberds, knives, sticks, hoes, and so on. As long as they can kill him, they use them as weapons. The most combat-ready were the musketeers with muskets at the front, who were generally armed with flintlock pistols. The effective range is about thirty paces.

"Knock knock knock." The war drums on the opposite side beat more and more rapidly.

"Whoa." Advancing private soldiers are advancing.

"Stop." A man who looked like a private soldier shouted loudly.

"Whew." A neat voice. The ranks of the private soldiers stopped. At the front were shieldmen with short swords and shields, and they were mainly prepared for the shooting of the opponent's muskets, and the private soldiers were armed with heavy shields made of a single bronze plate. A shield weighs forty or fifty pounds. This weight would not normally be equipped for the regular army, but now they are attacking musketeers. The bullets of the muskets, especially the flintlock pistols, could not be used against such heavy shields, so the privates took out their heavyweight weapons at great expense.

Behind the shield men were infantry with spears and halberds, and they numbered more than 1,200 people. The number of shield soldiers was less than five hundred. And behind, there were three hundred archers. Archers are all improvised, and they are not professional archers.

The rest, less than a thousand men, became the personal guards of the nobles, with both short and long-handled assassination weapons, and their important responsibility was to keep the commanders who surrounded them from being killed. They are the equivalent of the Chinese army guards.

In addition, the Chinese army guards, there are twenty chariots, they are not really chariots, they are improvised from horse-drawn carriages, but this is also another of their trump cards.

The private army of the nobles of the Wei State, although it is a backward cold weapon armed force, but they are still an elite division, at least, some of them, because they do not have to pay all kinds of taxes, can receive some special military training, plus the usual hunting behavior, it is equivalent to military exercises, to a certain extent, the private armed army is not inferior to the regular army.

In contrast, the Republican Army, which had just been formed and rushed to fight. Whether in terms of combat power or military training, it is far behind this noble private army. The situation in the war situation seems to be unfavorable to the Republican Army.

"Forward." At this time, the nobleman shouted loudly.

"Knock knock. Knock knock. The drums of war also sounded at this time.
