The combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army was very limited, they could barely stop the other party, but they could not make the other party move, but once the official army changed direction, they directly attacked Lijiazhuang. A lot of real attention was focused on Lijiazhuang, and once their goal was determined, it would cost a lot of attention from the officers and soldiers. This will reduce a lot of stress at once. Shangwu needs a decoy to delay the speed of the opponent's attack, which is a very beneficial thing for Shangwu.

Li Family Orchard. Lao Mu got up early, eating biscuits and looking at the map. On the map, you can see the next military action of the officers and soldiers.

Lao Mu still couldn't determine the next military movement of the Xiyuan New Army, and the scouts had already dispersed to reconnoitre. If there is a movement, they will be able to solve all the problems.

"There's a situation." Zhang Qing came in very nervously and said. Looks like something is wrong.

"In what direction?" Lao Mu asked anxiously. This is very important to him.

"Li Jiazhuang. They are rushing towards Li Jiazhuang in a frenzied manner. Zhang Qing said. After listening to this, Lao Mu quickly picked up the pen in his hand and ran to the map to start checking the situation.

"Oh my God. Looks like they're trying to sabotage our arsenal? Lao Mu said.

"That's right, I've assembled all the arsenals and all the places along the way that can reach Lijiazhuang and entered a combat state, and the other troops have also begun to mobilize rapidly." Zhang Qing said.

"Li Jiazhuang, I'm afraid I can't hold it." Lao Mu looked at the map and said to Zhang Qing.

"It's really unfortunate, and there's still a part of the arsenal there. I am worried that the situation there may not be good, and the officers and soldiers are rushing over with great momentum. The only ones who could resist along the way were the militia. Even if the arsenal is organized, I am afraid it will be difficult. Zhang Qing said.

"Damn, chasing, just ran to death. You have to catch up with it, and you can't run anymore. Lao Mu said excitedly.

Shangdang area. Eldest son

"Kill. Kill. "The shouts of killing kept coming. But they just didn't see the Red Turban Army attacking the city of the eldest son.

"Sir, it's so boring for us to keep shouting and shouting and killing like this. You give a company, I'll give you a surprise, maybe you can rush in at once. A captain said anxiously.

"Fuck off, don't fuck down and do something borderless, is this eldest son county so easy to fight? I didn't see it, over there in Taihang Mountain, how many people died, damn it, in the end, I didn't even take down a brick from the city, what are we trying to do? Li Shui put down the binoculars in his hand and scolded.

"Sir. But the eldest son has more than 300 defenders in the county seat. We should be able to take it down quickly, and we've added a batch of muskets, which are more powerful than bows and crossbows, and we can take down anything as long as we capture the city walls. The staff officer said.

"You fuck, see what you can do. The eldest son said that he was angry, and you kid can beat me down. Li Shui scolded with a smile.

"Sir, isn't there only three hundred? It's already a good fight. The staff officer said.

"Damn, Lao Tzu gave you a brigade, are you going to fight Luoyang, the capital division. This emperor Lao Tzu's palace was also knocked down by you. Li Shui scolded.

"Sir, this, don't dare, this Jingshi Luoyang, you have to rely on you to fight, sir. We. How can we have such a skill? The staff officer said.

"Damn, we have serious things to do, do you know what serious things are? Encircle the point to send reinforcements, as soon as our side attacks, the eldest son's side will definitely not be able to withstand it, they will definitely go to the rescue, when they ask for help, who is here nearby. Huguan County, and the enemy from the direction of Tunliu. Let's stay in the direction of the tun. On the way, give them a while, and then we will retreat, and next time, we will go to surround the county seat of Tunliu, and then knock out the reinforcements in the direction of the eldest son, so that we will continue to mobilize them, fight, and eat them little by little, in this way, our situation will become much better. Li Shui said.

"But, sir, this, this doesn't mean much, this little knock. How long will it take? The staff officer said with some bitterness. He felt that this was very troublesome, and it was better to fight directly in the county seat.

"When will it be fought, it's very simple, the war will become beneficial to us, that's what our commander said, the fat drag the thin, and the thin drag to death. In this way, the initiative of the war will always be in our hands, and this war will be very beneficial to us. Li Shui said. Although the number of officers and troops in the Shangdang and Taihang Mountain areas was not very large, they were all huddled in the fortifications of the city for defense. This kind of attack is quite unfavorable to the Red Turban Army, because they can't fight such a place at all. This is a tactic that is extremely costless for the Red Turbans.

They quickly changed their tactics. For example, this time, the Taihang Mountain Military Region will ambush reinforcements from the direction of Huguan in their jurisdiction, and the Red Turban Army of several other military divisions will begin to ambush possible reinforcements. Ambush them halfway, they can still play such a tactic. The main task of the Shangdang Military Region is to eliminate reinforcements from the Cantonment direction. As long as the enemy is constantly attacked and consumed, even if he is killed or wounded, the enemy's defensive strength will be reduced, which will be of great help to the future urban fortifications. This is the tactics of the Red Turban Army, encircling the point to send reinforcements, sending reinforcements is the key, that is, constantly attacking the opponent's living military forces to strike, in the continuous strikes, constantly consuming the enemy, the enemy's forces are constantly consumed, constantly being hit, and finally their situation will be in an extremely unfavorable state, which is an extremely advantageous tactic for the Red Turban Army, in the face of such a tactic, their situation will be very unfavorable. As a result, they did not have mobile forces to rescue each other, and finally caused their forces to dry up. In fact, the entire Red Turban Army was carrying out such tactics, but in comparison, in the Shangdang Taihang Mountain area. The size of their forces, as well as the scale of their operations, were much lower than those fought on the Jizhou Plain.

The 323rd Regiment, Yang Lin is receiving reinforcements from new recruits, and their backbone is only more than 400 people. And Lao Mu added more than 1,200 people to them at once, and the proportion of recruits was still very large. That means in a short period of time. Their combat effectiveness will become very low. However, in order to solve this problem, their regiment was replenished with more than three hundred muskets at once. In this way, their combat effectiveness is still good.

"Our regiment is all recruits, and all of a sudden, there may not be a combat mission, you, train well. Hurry. Yang Lin said to his guard, Xiao Wang. The important function of the guard is to protect his commander, and when it is important, he can do some dangerous things, and the matter of poplar makes Lao Mu very sad, because they have lost a good commander, and they are also a good commander who dares to fight.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Wang said on the side. He carried a musket on his back. Xiao Wang is a native of Wangzhuang, smart, and most importantly, obedient and dares to do anything. The same goes for muskets, which you will learn as soon as you learn them. He was one of the few recruits who received a musket at once, and there were more than 1,600 people in the regiment, and in addition to the veterans, there were really many recruits who could get the musket.

"Platoon commander, tell us the story of this battle, our 323rd Regiment, it's really like this, the Xiyuan New Army can't raise its head." Said one of the recruits.

"Damn, what is our 323 group? It's a heroic regiment, let's talk about our first regiment leader, at that time, our regiment had less than a thousand people. There are only more than 300 people left to fight, and how many people are there in the Xiyuan New Army on the opposite side, damn it, 3,000 people, 3,000 people directly attack our team, 300 against 3,000. If you think about it, this courage is quite scary. The veteran said.

"Those Xiyuan recruits are well equipped and their fighting skills are really good, just like me, one person can fight two. Damn, there's no injuries on his body. The platoon commander said.

"Platoon commander, is it really that good?" The recruit asked anxiously. As soon as they heard this, they naturally became anxious.

"Of course, this war can't be sloppy, if someone has the ability, they really have the ability, you have to convince others." The platoon commander said.

"Platoon commander, then why was the Xiyuan New Army run away by us. I heard that our group has killed more than 1,000 people on the other side. This is not something that our group blew out. The recruits quickly found their sense of belonging, and since they entered the 323rd Regiment, they were members of the 323rd Regiment.

"yes. Our regiment has a desperate spirit, which is lacking in the officers and soldiers, this is my own opinion, this position, our regiment has stopped. It's our group, don't give the fuck to us. Whoever the fuck robs, let's fight with him. Why is this war called morale? When did the morale of our regiment ever be low, this is the characteristic of our regiment, our regiment commander, at the most critical time, it was a black oppressive group of officers and soldiers rushing over, the number of no less than 3,000 people, how many of us, three hundred. But these 300 people, don't die, our ** bag is almost used. Jumping into the other party's pile with a ** bag on his back, blowing up a large piece, our head took the head, and we just wanted this spiritual energy. You want my position, you can, you want, come and get it. Lao Tzu's life is with the position, you come. Lao Tzu will fight with you. The platoon commander said resolutely.

"Platoon commander, what he said is really relieving, let's fight with them, if he grabs a position with us, we will do it with them." The recruit said.

"That's it." The recruits were immediately infected by the fighting temperament of the entire regiment. Although they were new recruits, their fighting spirit was not inferior to that of veterans.

"Sir, I remember. This is called, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. One recruit seemed to have heard that from a soldier.

"Yes, the pioneer of the narrow road wins." The platoon commander said.

The morale of the 323rd Regiment was suddenly high. Regiment Leader Yang Lin's eyes were a little moist. The value of poplar deaths. He brought out a resounding regiment, a regiment with an extremely strong will to fight, although it was replenished with new recruits, but under the infection of morale, they could fight a team that was not inferior to any heroic fighting unit.

Lao Mu's infantry brigade was advancing rapidly, and the whole army was advancing at the fastest speed, and they were going to run in front of the new army in Xiyuan.

Lao Mu is also in a hurry, there is an arsenal in Lijiazhuang, once it is destroyed there, the situation will become very bad.

"Lao Mu, this is an instruction from our chief, you can take a look, what should we do?" Zhang Qing said and handed over a letter to Lao Mu, as the chief of staff, Zhang Qing was responsible for many, many things. At the same time some letters about military operations, he can be viewed in advance.

"Our sir, your heart is really big. In this regard, my old wood is not comparable, he said, the arsenal can be destroyed if necessary. Oh my God. Lao Mu said puzzled.

"After I saw it, I was shocked, this arsenal was built by me, and the commander actually said that he would turn the arsenal into a bait, a position, and use a street fighting mode to solve the battle, so that we can hide and put cold guns in the street fighting. Cold running, this is street fighting and creative killing of the enemy, I listen to this tactic, how do I think it's unreliable. To fight like you have me, I have you, and the tactics of the two sides are mixed together, this, isn't this a chaotic war? Zhang Qing said anxiously.

"I don't know, what the chief thinks, none of us can keep up, to be honest, if we are allowed to fight one-on-one, I still think that I can still deal with it, but I have to fight like this with the new army of Xiyuan. I don't think it's reliable at all. Lao Mu said to Zhang Qing worriedly.

Shang Wu said a new tactic in the letter, that is, street fighting, Shang Wu decided to make Lijiazhuang into the Eastern Han Dynasty version of Stalingrad, and he wanted to spend all the new army in Xiyuan on Lijiazhuang. If the Xiyuan New Army intended to attack Lijiazhuang, they changed Lijiazhuang before the Handan target, and this is what they wanted to use. The development speed of Lijiazhuang is very fast, although it is only a village, but it can be seen that they can be organized into a town, especially the factory area, and constantly expand, plus bricks, stones, tunnels, etc., although Lijiazhuang does not have a strong city wall, but if you fight in the street battle, this way of fighting is more conducive to their fighting. That's what Shang Wu thinks. Using street battles to constantly consume the opponent's vital forces, so as to achieve the purpose of depleting the opponent's troops, this is an extremely terrifying way of combat, and this method will greatly consume the vitality of the Xiyuan New Army. The war will become even more brutal.

Xishi Village. Inside the forward headquarters of the Red Turban Army. It's still busy.

"If the Xiyuan New Army really attacks Lijiazhuang, do you think that street battle you came up with can be used?" Jia Xu asked suspiciously

"Of course, the power is very great, and every time a battle is put in, there are very many combat units and many people. On the contrary, it is not good, our musket combat distance is very limited, and the building structure has changed a lot. Shang Wu said. In order to build Lijiazhuang, Shangwu specially let people fire bricks. Cement and iron rods are also used, and the scale of the factory construction is also very large, because they have to make a lot of reservations for the future development, so to speak, at the beginning, their development is very large. And that's exactly what happened. Street fighting becomes possible.

"The key to the defense of a city is the determination to resist, not the form of defense, and according to you, the defense of a city is mainly based on the strength of the city, right?" Shang Wu said to Jia Xu.

"It's been proven." Jia Xu said.

"Yes, I agree to do that, but the problem is that a lot of things are different." Shang Wu said.

"As long as we resist resolutely, all kinds of tactics will change, making the enemy's situation more elusive." Shang Wu said.

"Moreover, our muskets, artillery can work to a certain extent, in such a situation. Only then can our combat effectiveness rise to a higher level. Shang Wu said that the emergence of weapons has changed the traditional way of fighting. A lot of tactics have to change a lot. They can't rely on their previous tactics to fight anymore. Because the technology has changed too much, in this situation, many tactics in the traditional sense have changed a lot, which requires them to make a comprehensive change, which is what Shangwu has to do at present.

Jia Xu was thinking about this because they had overlooked an important factor, and that was the importance of weapons, because weapons had changed a lot, which directly caused them to have a lot of tactical changes, which led to them using completely new tactics to fight. That is, the basis has changed a lot. That era has changed. And if you don't adapt to this change, the situation will get even worse.

On the official road thirty miles south of Julu, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade were launching a frantic charge.

"Rush. Come on. The officers and men of the convoy escorting the logistics supplies of the Xiyuan New Army became panicked, and their front and back were heavily bombarded, and they were dizzy, and just as they were about to adjust their combat formation to cope with the next battle, they were completely shocked. Because three battle groups were divided into three battle groups at once and attacked them. The tactics of the other side are very mature, and they are not the kind of guerrillas and militia ambushes they encounter at all.

"Brothers, kill. Kill. Pei Yuanshao took the shield in his hand, and the big knife rushed out, and the soldiers of the Red Turban Army behind him rushed down like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The officers and soldiers had never seen such fierce soldiers come to rob the road.

"Kill the new army in the West Garden, rush." Zhou Cang waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly. The soldiers jumped out of the trench excitedly and rushed down frantically, and the officers and soldiers were unable to organize effective resistance at all.
