Hexi. The cavalry infantry is rapidly passing past the wolf regiment, they are all newly formed mounted infantry units, and they are estimated to be the formation of a regiment. The horses passed through the middle of the road, just as the motorized troops of later generations marched in, and the soldiers on them were very spirited, although they were all veiled, mainly to prevent unnecessary damage from the greater dust, and they were so fast that it was a miracle that the infantry could run a hundred miles a day in the past. And now, at the very least, they start at sixty miles, and sometimes, it is normal to advance a hundred miles a day, and they still have physical strength to fight. This made the infantry faster.

"Phew. Phew, what's the spirit? Lao Tzu will wait for one day, and let you eat ashes. Zhang Zhen scolded. Because they were slow-advancing infantry units, sixty miles a day was already their fastest speed at present. But the gap between them and the cavalry and cavalry and cavalry will widen. But they can't help it. They are infantry, marching and fighting, and can only move on their two legs, and their mobility is greatly limited.

And the troops with horses passed by them quickly, which made them very unconvinced, but there was nothing they could do.

"Well, forget it. Let's move forward. Everybody stepped aside. Zhao Laosan shouted loudly. As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Zhen to the side, because the infantry had completely become a gray-eating unit. Because they were too slow, they could only breathe the air and the dust of the cavalry troops. This annoyed the infantry.

"Damn, when our regiment gets to the north, we must also have our own cavalry troops. Otherwise, I'll keep eating ashes like this, damn it, it's too embarrassing. Zhang Zhen scolded.

"Hey, this is also a helpless thing, the horses are limited, it is impossible to provide us with more such support, in such a situation, what we can do is really limited, if we want to expand this situation, we must find a way to do other things, otherwise, we can't do such a state at all." Zhao Laosan said.

The infantry units that entered Hexi first had the opportunity to be reorganized, because there were plenty of horses at that time, but with the arrival of the follow-up troops, their horse conditions became tense, and even, some of the troops that were reorganized in the later period, in order to allow the soldiers to reduce excessive physical consumption, they even used ox carts to transport troops, but the speed of the ox carts was too slow. At present, the republican army has reorganized infantry into cavalry infantry to barely reach the strength of five battalions, it seems that their numbers are still good, but this still cannot meet the requirements of rapid operations on the front line, but the lack of horses can not be solved at once, in desperation, these infantry can only continue to advance slowly, waiting for the arrival of horses.

"Phew, phew." The squad leader kept spitting. The dust after the cavalry passed quickly could not fall for a long time, and the infantry was too slow, most of them ate dust, and in desperation, they could only spread as much as possible. Avoid this from happening.

"Fuck." The squad leader said as he watched the cavalry pass quickly.

"Squad leader, I think it won't be long before we have horses." Zhou Da stepped forward with his weapon and said.

"Well, if we hadn't come in late. He doesn't have to look at the goddamn look of these birdmen. Looking at Lao Tzu, I got angry. The squad leader scolded. The situation of the entire Wolf Regiment is the worst. Other infantry regiments, anyway, they also have some infantry units that can be converted into cavalry units. But the wild wolf group, because they had just entered Hexi, they didn't have horses at all, not even their commander, Zhao Laosan. This slowed them down dramatically. At the same time, it also puts them in an unfavorable situation, unable to fight quickly, and makes them very aggrieved.

The whole regiment was holding back their strength, and when they saw an opportunity, they must have their own horses and become cavalry units in the true sense of the word. But now they have to move forward on their own two legs.

The western mountainous area of Taiyuan County. The Republican army entered here for a temporary rest, and they needed to find fighters, attack the enemy, and inflict heavy casualties on the other side.

"Sir, that guy named Zhang Liao is too annoying." The lieutenant adjutant said to Pei Yuanshao in annoyance. Pei Yuanshao collected all the enemy information nearby, if they wanted to mobilize the enemy, if they wanted to kill the enemy on a large scale, they had to jam the enemy's neck, and give the enemy a lot of damage, this is their task.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yuanshao asked.

"Sir, that Zhang Liao asked this question, that question, and kept asking, and I couldn't answer the question myself. And I'm curious about everything, as if I've seen something in the world. The lieutenant adjutant said.

"Hehe, it's like you're a big family, what world have you seen?" Pei Yuanshao asked curiously.

"No, it's not, sir, what if he continues to ask like this, what should he do if he asks all our secrets?" The adjutant asked.

"You kid can't explain it. Just use this excuse, you still graduated from a military school. I see that you must not have studied well in the military school, and you have not done anything, have you? Pei Yuanshao said.

"Well, there's no chief, it's just, that guy, there are too many questions." The adjutant said.

Zhang Liao was indeed very curious, he had also seen firearms during his time in the annexation of the state, but it was a firerope style. And in the hands of the Republican Army is the flintlock. They are used more quickly, which directly leads to different tactics, for example, the arquebus operation is extremely cumbersome, and they have a certain number of pikemen. This leads to the fact that their tactical coordination requires a certain intensity of training, and Zhang Liao is also actively studying this, and he doesn't know where to collect a set of infantry drills that are not very detailed, and even have some amateur infantry drills.

But in the Republican Army, he saw the flintlock, a firearm that was more swift and flexible in terms of rate of fire, power, and tactical characteristics. Even, they have bayonets. In this case, their tactics will change very much. The artillery is also different, lighter. Zhang Liao was naturally curious, so in many cases, he kept asking all kinds of questions, and the questions seemed very strange, but they were a new kind of research on the use of firearms by Zhang Liang.

But most of the officers around them regarded this kind of problem as a neurotic problem, because many problems were taken for granted through the infantry training drills, but for Zhang Liao, there were too many, too many differences. For example, under the leadership of a sergeant, about twelve soldiers can form two basic battle groups, and three people can basically form a basic small combat unit, and they can carry out the task of outflanking or even attacking on their own, which is amazing. Because of such tactics, the junior officers of the officers and the army did not dare to do this, but in the Republican Army, the sergeant is only one of the non-commissioned officers, and they are not yet officers, and the non-commissioned officers have the initiative to actively attack, which is greatly unexpected to them, which makes them feel different than ever. Therefore, Zhang Liao asked more. He wanted to know what kind of training method could lead the officers and men at the grassroots level to carry out a kind of tactical upgrading, or in other words, what kind of situation could enable the soldiers to have such a spirit of active combat. There were so many people avoiding him.

"Sir, if you continue to ask like this, I don't think it's a thing, let's send him to the rear. That kid isn't interested in military school? I saw that when I was sent to the military school, he didn't want to ask. The lieutenant said.

"You'll be very easy to get there." Pei Yuanshao said.

"Sir, we're at war, and none of us know about this war, with this kid. I think it's better than a prisoner of war. The other party said.

"Alright. I know. Let's fight a battle, and then take the prisoners of war to the rear. Pei Yuanshao said impatiently.

And Zhang Liao was thinking about the same problem. The Republican army also went through several skirmishes, for example, they attacked several Hun strongholds, and at the same time, they also played some classic tactics, such as encircling the point to send reinforcements.

The terrain here greatly limited the mobility of the Hun cavalry, and it was mountainous.

Zhang Liao also saw the classic tactics of the republican army, encircling the point to send reinforcements, taking advantage of the restrictions caused by the mountains, the republican army dared to boldly attack the opponent's stronghold, mainly because of their superiority in firearms, especially artillery, at the same time, when they surrounded the other side, they were able to actively attack the opponent's moving troops, especially the reinforcements, they always attacked the opponent at the key points. This tactic is very difficult to break, because the main points of the Republican attack are critical, if they do not rescue, they will be eaten up part of their forces, but if they do, they will lose mobile forces, in short, the Republican Army has shown great sophistication in this regard, it seems that their tactics have done this more than once. This is also what Zhang Liao is most interested in, because such a simple and practical tactic has created too much trouble for the Huns. It was a miracle that the advantage of the Hun cavalry's rapid maneuver strike was completely brought into their rhythm by the republican army, so Zhang Liao decided not to go. He wanted to unravel such a secret and solve such a matter once and for all.
