From group formations to scattered skirmishers, the pattern of human warfare has been evolving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info By the time of the advent of intercontinental missiles, large-scale infantry operations had been phased out and replaced by small-scale special forces operations.

In the past twelve years, the Republic of China has actually completed the evolution of the firearms age, raising firearms to the modern level, equivalent to the level of World War I. At that time, there were actually people who proposed, since firearms were so powerful, why not completely eliminate the eight legions and replace them with firearms troops?

Of course, this proposal was eventually rejected. It is true that the use of firearms is more convenient than that of cold weapons, but the dependence of firearms on logistics is greater. At present, the daily output of the bullet factory is not up to the standard, not to mention the artillery shell factory, the cost has not dropped to a certain extent, so after a war, if a torrent of steel is directly launched, then its cost is no less than that of a group army attack.

However, this proposal was finally included in the reference range. In the past two years, the firearms in the army have begun to improve, and the cold weapons have begun to decrease. The side effects of rapidly climbing technology began to appear, that is, the replacement of the era of hot and cold weapons came early, and after the non-commissioned officers of the eight major armies retired one after another, the new legions may be fully replaced by firearms units.

This northward march may also be the last attack of the soldiers of the Eight Legions, and many people know this, so they hope to have an excellent performance. At the very least, they want to prove to the world that they will not be eliminated easily, and that the years of training have not wasted the country's tax revenues!

"I'll leave it to you here, let's go!" There were less than nine days left for them, and after Guan Yu and Huang Zhong turned around and said a word to Chen Tao and Zu Mao, they quickly galloped away with the army in two directions.

"Take up more space!" The two said goodbye, and then began to arrange the capture of the captives and the follow-up.

To the north of Yangquan County is Ruyin County, which was the main logistical source of Chun Yuqiong's troops and the frontline position of the Han Republic. Further north, there are several county seats in Runan County, but the two places are relatively close to each other. On the contrary, in the west and northwest directions, the cities are densely packed and close to each other.

Based on this consideration, Huang Zhong's troops were divided into three routes, with Xu Shu and Dian Wei each leading an army to kill Shen and Song respectively, while Huang Zhong's headquarters went directly north in the direction of Xiyang.

Guan Yu's troops were directly divided into five routes, with Guan Ping, Li Tong, Zu Lang and Zhou Tai each leading an army, and he himself was divided into five directions to attack.

Each group army had 20,000 people, and after it was divided into a five-way army, Guan Yu took 4,000 soldiers and rushed directly in the direction of Xincai. In order to better control the locality, or to better transport supplies to the front line, the Republic of Dahan built a wooden railway between Xincai County and Fubo County.

Now it is self-inflicted, and this railway is directly used by Guan Yu. There are a lot of horses in the local area, and the carriages used for transportation are not as good as those of the Chinese Republic, but they can also quickly transport materials and soldiers.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the army quickly arrived in Xincai County. After a short rest, the 500 cavalry quickly drove the people around Xincai County into the county seat, and sat back and watched the other side close the city gates. The main army has not arrived, there is no other army to cooperate, it is not rational to rush into the county town, it may be possible in the past, after all, the soldiers are consumables, but now that there are better means, why take the risk?

The grenadiers were already in place, and with Guan Yu's order, twenty high-explosive bombs were thrown directly in the direction of the city gate. After a while, with a huge explosion, the city gate really fell to the ground. Once this kind of high-explosive bomb explodes, there will be no living people within 50 meters of the surrounding area, and if 20 of them are thrown out in a row, it is really nothing to cover the iron city gate.

The city gate collapsed violently, and the guards didn't know what was going on, and many people only thought that a thunder had come and knocked down their city gate?

Guan Yu didn't care, seeing that the gate had been opened, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to cover, the sword and shield soldiers to do a good job of guarding, and the cavalry began to launch a surprise attack. After saying that, he led the cavalry and rushed towards the gate.

At the same time, the grenadiers threw more than 20 grenades directly towards the city wall, these fragmentation grenades can better kill and injure the enemy soldiers, with its suppression, those soldiers were immediately seriously damaged, and no one came to replace them in more than 20 seconds to defend the city.

Guan Yujun had already killed the past, and the sword and shield soldiers and crossbow soldiers had also been killed. Ordinary people have already taken refuge in their homes, and even if they don't, they don't dare to block their way, after all, according to the custom, their blocking is equivalent to helping the enemy army defend the city, and they can also be regarded as enemy troops, even if they are killed, they can't complain about anything.

Most of the defenders are still on the walls and have not come down, and there is no way to deal with them effectively. A small number of troops who reacted quickly barely came here, and immediately put into a state of battle, but unfortunately they couldn't stop Guan Yu's cavalry troops at all, but they were quickly met by sword and shield soldiers.

When the two armies fight, what they fight for is courage, but the more critical point is equipment. The guards in these places angrily slashed at the enemy, only to find that the knife with all their strength did not cause any scars to the opponent at all, and even only left a white mark on the opponent's armor.

The sword and shield soldiers immediately counterattacked, but with one sword, they were directly cut off with the opponent's weapons and heads. Or directly cut the armor with a knife and opened a big wound. The enemy soldiers immediately bled non-stop, and they couldn't even do the follow-up attack, so they were killed immediately by the sword and shield soldiers.

The two sides fought for less than three minutes, and the other side did not even have time to surrender or collapse, and was quickly killed. Of the three hundred guards, none of them survived.

At the same time, Guan Yu had already rushed to the county yamen, and soon broke through the yamen and killed it. Seeing that the general trend had gone, the Xincai County Commander did not show the solar terms of seeing death as home, and directly announced his surrender.

Chen Tao's team also happened to arrive here, their work was relatively simple, they only needed to follow Guan Yu behind, and leave some people down to defend the occupied area. Guan Yu spent about half an hour to capture this county seat, and after they arrived, they only needed to arrange a part of the people to occupy this place, and report to the rear, and they would continue to follow Guan Yu forward.

Guan Yu did not stay, and almost did not lose any soldiers except for the consumption of some high-explosive bombs and grenades. The waste of physical strength was recovered in a thirty-minute rest, and by the way, I ate some compressed dry food to fill my stomach.

Compressed dry food is a new product that has been on the market since March this year, which not only contains rich oil, but also is very anti-hunger. As a armament, it is naturally purchased in large quantities, and it is also very popular in the private sector, and it is used as dry food for travel and business.

After eating a piece of dry food and a pot of water, my stomach is almost full, just like Guan Yu and other beings who eat a lot of food, it is almost the same to eat two pieces. The taste is really not very good, the key is that it is convenient and fast, and you can fill your stomach in a minute before and after.

A day later, Guan Yu joined up with Guan Pingbu, who had already completed the crackdown on Gushi and Utyang counties. The two armies joined forces and in a very short period of time surrounded the Pingyu of Runan County, which was the old nest of Yuan Valve, and it is said that Yuan Valve's ancestral shrine and ancestral tomb were only rebuilt not long ago.

Earlier, during the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yuan Valve's ancestral shrine and ancestral tomb were directly destroyed. The bones of the ancestors are gone, and they can only find a way to build an empty mound to replace them. In order to avoid being too shabby, he had no choice but to move Yuan Feng's bones in, with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's bones, and Prime Minister Yuan Kui seemed to have reserved a place in it.

As the prime minister's hometown, this is naturally the most heavily defended, not to mention that this is also the seat of Runan County, not to mention, there are 5,000 defenders here, and the guard general led by the general is General Pan Feng, and the deputy general is Tai Shici.

It turned out that Tai Shi Ci was defeated by Lu Bu earlier, and then in order to avoid being liquidated, he had no choice but to take his mother and follow Kong Rong to Luoyang. Finally, with Kong Rong's recommendation, he came here to serve as the county lieutenant and listened to it under the command of the county lieutenant Pan Feng.

Pan Feng also admires Tai Shici's ability very much, but it's a pity that Tai Shici was born in a poor family, and he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to achieve great achievements in the military. Recently, he even recommended him to simply go to Liu Bei, that guy may have a lot of generals in the cold door, how can it be better than being a small county lieutenant attached to Guo here.

It's a pity that Tai Shici is not optimistic about Liu Bei, so he didn't agree, but he is actually a little shaken, after all, if he continues to live here, there is indeed no future.

Today, everyone was still patrolling as usual, but who knew that a cavalry suddenly came from outside and quickly expelled the surrounding people into the city. Looking at the fluttering iron-blooded dragon flag, Pan Feng, who was on the wall for the first time, didn't know where he was, but it was the troops of the Huaxia Republic who killed him.

There doesn't seem to be any battle report on the front line, saying that the enemy has begun to fight across the border, so how did the enemy come here?

He didn't know that Guan Yu had been killing all the way, and it was only a little more than a day before and after, relying on the convenience of the cavalry, but he came here first. And because all means of transportation, especially the railway, have fallen into the hands of the Chinese Republic, it is not surprising that in the absence of sufficient means of communication, the rear cannot learn about the situation at the front at the first time.

"Ziyi, the enemy army has come from afar, and I am afraid that the few county towns in front of me have fallen into the hands of the enemy. In order to prevent the enemy from breaking through Pingyu and making it impossible for the court to react quickly, you immediately broke through with 500 cavalry to report the news! "Pan Feng is really a general, regardless of the issue of personal force, the ability to make decisions on the spot is indeed good.

Tai Shi Ci also realized that the situation was not good, and he could only think of it, so he didn't talk nonsense, immediately counted five hundred cavalry, opened the north gate and began to raid.

"Don't expect to break out of here!" Guan Ping was in charge of guarding the north gate, and when he saw Tai Shici killed, he immediately greeted him.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Tai Shici immediately took off the bow and arrow behind his back and shot directly at Guan Ping.

"I will too, who is afraid of whom?" Guan Ping saw that the other party took down the bow and arrows, of course, he also took the bow and arrows on horseback, and bent the bow and arrows. Both sides fired arrows almost simultaneously, and the two arrows collided directly between them.

What I didn't expect was Guan Ping's arrow, but it directly destroyed Tai Shici's arrow, but the castration did not weaken much, and shot directly towards Tai Shici. The latter also reacted quickly, and turned his head to escape.

looked at Guan Ping again, but felt that the young general in front of him should not be underestimated! (To be continued.) )
