The second encounter between the Byronic army and the Chaoxin army was still in a bitter battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The casualties in the first battle only counted the dead, executed deserters, and the seriously wounded who could not recover in a short period of time, and did not include the lightly wounded. In other words, the Byronic army lost nearly 5,000 combatants in the first battle, and the battle loss rate was as high as a quarter.

During the battle, many soldiers could not resist the pressure and fled, and in order to maintain the line, Maier had to order the execution of the soldiers who led the way to escape. According to incomplete statistics, about 400 soldiers were executed for deserting, accounting for 2 percent of the total combat personnel of the army, which is already a very high percentage.

Under such extreme measures, the Byronic army was able to barely defeat the Chaoxin army. If the soldiers of the Chaoxin army were trained a little higher, the cooperation was a little more tacit, and the commander had a little more overall view, it would be the Byronic army that was defeated.

The last bitter battle left a huge psychological shadow on the Byronic army, and the morale of the whole army was low and the fighting spirit was completely lost. After two months of recuperation, the Byronic army regained their morale and fighting spirit, but when they fought the Chaoxin army again, the fierce enemy in front of them awakened the fear that lurked in the hearts of the soldiers.

What it's like to fight a group of enemies who are not afraid of death, people who have not experienced it themselves cannot imagine. At that time, Moritin was afraid of the Theological Research Society because the performance of the Truth Society was so cruel that he did not even have the courage to gamble. You must know that at that time, Moritin's army was not only in the sky, but the location and people were all on their side, and they also had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and equipment.

But under this absolute superiority, they were still defeated by the rebels of the Truth Society. Fortunately, Moritin's advantage is big enough, and the people of the Truth Society also committed a stupid slaughter of the students of the Letin-Saktin School of Magic, causing the noble rebels to defect, otherwise it is really hard to say who will kill the deer.

Before negotiating with Moritin, Maier only rationally guessed Moritin's fear of the Illuminatis. But after fighting Chao Xinjun, he experienced first-hand how Moritin felt at that time.

The Byronic army and the Chaoxin army were 20,000 to 20,000 in terms of troops, and the experience in Tian Zeguo gave Maier a general understanding of the configuration of the Mingji army. He knew that the proportion of musketeers in the Mingji army was very high, and it was very normal to have 3,000 to 4,000 muskets in an army of 20,000 people. The Byronic army only had one musket regiment on their side, and even if they used all the spare muskets, they only had two thousand muskets.

It is true that the quality of the Ilibi musket and the Dugu musket was much better than that of the Mingji musket. Both are more accurate than the Mingji musket, and the effective range is also longer than the Mingji musket. However, once you are included in the optimal range of the Muskets, the weapon's performance advantage disappears, and the number and rate of fire of the muskets become decisive factors.

Muskets are not a rare thing among the Mingji people, and almost everyone who participates in the service can use them. When a musketeer dies, the soldiers around him will drop their weapons and equipment, pick up the muskets and ammunition of the deceased and move on. That is, in the process of advancing towards the Xin army, the number of muskets will not decrease. In the end, your side will be in the optimal range of three or four thousand muskets, and the enemy will only need to fire a salvo, and you will be put down by at least three hundred people.

The Mingji musket was much slower to reload than the Ilibi musket and the Dugu musket, with an average of about forty seconds to shoot once. However, there were too many muskets in the Chao Xin army, and the Byron army had four rounds of crossbows on their side, and the damage to the enemy was not as much as that of the three rounds of muskets fired at the Xin army.

In just two minutes, the Byronic army paid nearly 1,000 casualties, and the army was in great confusion. On the side of the Chaoxin army, it was as if no one had died on his side, and he could fight as he wanted. As a last resort, Maier could only send infantry to attack the Chaoxin army from both flanks, and send cavalry to stand by. Under the multi-faceted attack, the Chao Xin army dispersed its firepower and began to fight on its own, giving the Byronic army a great opportunity.

But even so, the Byronic army still paid a great price to defeat the Chaoxin army. There is only one main reason for this, that is, no matter how bad the situation is, the Chaoxin army will resist stubbornly until it dies in battle.

After the first battle, Maier suddenly pinched a cold sweat for his past self. If he had had a head-on conflict with Tian Zeguo, I don't know how many Leiting immigrants would have survived. Fortunately, Tian Zeguo instigated first, and Maier also made corresponding concessions, and the two sides were safe, otherwise there would be no current Byronic Kingdom.

The second encounter between the Byronic Army and the Chaoxin Army was an offensive and defensive battle. Previously, the Byronic army had captured about 4,000 muskets in battle, of which about 1,500 were damaged and 2,500 were intact. With the addition of the original 2,000 muskets, the Byronic army now had 4,500 muskets, while the number of muskets of the Mingji people became less than 400.

Meier reorganized two Mingji musket regiments in advance, and the troops that received the reorganization were in a state of shortage, and the number of the two main battle infantry battalions together did not exceed 700 men, and these people were to be all equipped with Mingji muskets. They will keep their original weapons, but they will only carry the necessary weapons of self-defense when they go into battle.

These two regiments were temporarily reorganized, and they would be reverted back to regular regiments after the war in Chaoxin was over. After two months of training, the Mingji Musket Regiment already had a certain combat effectiveness. Maier had expected the battle to be a little easier, but it wasn't.

The performance of the Mingji people in defense is much more terrible than in the field. When the settlement is threatened, they will take up arms and kill the enemy, regardless of gender, young and old. The Byronic army easily suppressed the firepower of the Chaoxin army, but the melee troops could not climb the wall that was less than four meters high.

The walls of the city are densely packed with enemies, and in the words of the bird, a shot at the wall with his eyes closed can hit at least one person. The Mingji people knew about muskets, so they knew how to deal with musketeers. As long as the Byronic army did not enter the city, they hid under the parapet wall and did not show their heads. As soon as the Byronic army landed in the city, they braved the rain of bullets and bullets to kill the enemy.

In this case, Maier had no choice but to use a powder canister bomb again to blow down the walls of the settlement. The explosion caused huge losses to the Chaoxin army, but even though the city wall had been lost, the people guarding the city wall still fought to the death, causing great trouble to the Byronic army. The Byronic army finally broke through the walls and began to march into the interior of the settlement, and what awaited them was the ubiquitous Chaoxin people, as well as their open guns and arrows.

The battle turned from a tough battle to a tragic street fight in an instant. The people of Chaoxin fought at home, and with the help of their knowledge of the terrain, they blocked the Byronic army on the outskirts of the city. The settlement was home to more than 50,000 inhabitants, all of whom were able to take part in the battle, except for the little ones. In other words, in addition to dealing with the Chaoxin army, Maier also had to deal with these tens of thousands of militiamen.

The street fighting lasted for three whole days, and the Byronic army paid nearly 1,000 combat attrition, killing an unknown number of Chaoxin people, but they still could not capture this settlement. The Byronic army was exhausted by the continuous fighting, and the Chaoxin militia from the village came to attack at night, which aggravated the fatigue of the Byronic army.

From the general to the people, everyone in the Byronic army hated the Mingji people, and even thought that this race should not appear in the world. When the Chao Xin army and the Chao Xin people fought, they shouted the slogan of "kill all the invaders", but the war was not provoked by the Kingdom of Byrons, but by the Kingdom of Chao Xin. The reason why the Kingdom of Byron took the initiative to attack was because it had an absolute advantage, and there was no need for the enemy army to set foot on its own soil. They marched after defeating the main force of the Chaoxin army, because the Chaoxin State did not want to make peace with their side after the defeat and wanted to continue fighting, so they had to attack the settlements of the Chaoxin State.

It is clear that it is the party that occupies the reason, but the other party shamelessly calls itself the aggressor, and this kind of thing is intolerable to anyone. On December 15, 138 of the new calendar, the hatred of the Byronic army towards the Mingji people reached its peak. Even the suave Salin suggested to Mel that he burn down the settlement.

The offensive on the side of the Bujin army also did not go well. By December 15, 138 A.D., the Bujin army had launched eight attacks on the settlements of the state of Chaoxin, but until now they have not been able to capture the outskirts of the city. Don't look at the Bujin people who once came to the city of today's county and forced Wei Lin to cede land and pay compensation, in fact, the Bujin people are not good at attacking cities. Because of their short stature, the Ilibians were not good at hand-to-hand combat, and the climbing battles in siege warfare have always been their shortcomings, and once the long-range firepower does not work, the Ilibians can basically only rely on the siege to achieve victory.

Because of this, Salin wanted to destroy as many living forces as possible in the field. When he led his army to attack the present-day county seat, the number of defenders in the county was not large. In addition, Wei Xu defended the city for the first time, and he was inexperienced, so he suffered several losses in a row and lost a lot of troops. When Wei Lin signed the armistice agreement, counting the militia, the defenders in the city were less than 5,000, and the morale was extremely low, and the people had lost their will to fight, so he had to exchange land and indemnity in exchange for peace in order to keep the Wei family's most important property.

The Bujin army also used powder canisters to blow up the city walls, and then they encountered the same dilemma as the Byronic army. Musketeers and cavalry were not suitable for street fighting, and the combat effectiveness of the infantry was too weak, and the crossbowmen were not very powerful in street fighting. The generals of the Bujin army tried all kinds of ways to deal with the Chaoxin army and the Chaoxin people, but they all worked.

During the night, the Bujin army was also attacked by militia from the village of Chaoxin - note that this was an attack, not a harassment. The Byron Army is strong enough in melee combat and is not afraid of sneak attacks, but the Bujin Army is different. For the Ilibi people, the Mingji people are undoubtedly "tall and big", and hundreds of Mingji militiamen are touching the dark to enter the barracks, and the impact of this scene is considerable.

Just imagine, when you are asleep in your room, suddenly a strong man with a height of more than three meters slams open the door of your house and rushes in with a weapon, how will you feel?

You may say that the ceiling of my house is only three meters high, and he can only bend over and walk when he enters the door, and his movement is not flexible at all. But your home is not a garrison camp, the garrison camp is in the open air, and the giants will not hit the door frame when they come in, nor will they bump into the Tianling cover as soon as they raise their heads. How would you feel if you encountered such a giant in the garrison camp?

In the New World, the Ilibi people are probably the most tolerant of foreign cultures except for the Taeyong elves, but even the Ilibians cannot tolerate the Mingji culture because they are too extreme. In the end, from the Bujin army to the generals and down to the people, everyone wanted the people of Chaoxin and even the people of Mingji to completely disappear from this world.

After receiving the letter from General Bukin, Mel's heart was mixed. Except for him, everyone in the coalition now wants to wipe out the Chaoxin Kingdom, even the Zhu Wunu who is in charge of the medical mission. He knew that it would not be long before this sentiment would spread back to the country, igniting anger in the hearts of the people, and the massacres would be inevitable.

Massacres are nothing unusual in the New World. In the all-out racial war that broke out between the Dugu people and the Mingji people, every time the Mingji people passed through a Dugu settlement, they would kill all the people in the settlement, even the elderly and children. The Dugu people also treated the Mingji settlements in the same way, and many people died in the war on both sides.

In the battle of 30,000 against 150,000 commanded by Gray, the Leyting coalition once released a word that after breaking the city, they would kill all the people and livestock in the city. Fortunately, Gray evacuated the civilians in advance and won the battle, otherwise the Leyting coalition would definitely do what they said and kill all the people and livestock in the city.

In the ongoing all-out war between the Ira and the Tayyongs, the Ira will not hesitate to slaughter the Tayyong cities that are too stubborn to resist after the war. Xiaohu Liantong once defeated an Ira army, captured 20,000 soldiers and people, and in order to save food, he did not hesitate to slaughter 20,000 Ira people.

Things like the destruction of a country and a species, or even the destruction of an entire race, are not unusual in the new world. Before the "Great Reformation" of the Ilibians, it was not uncommon for one people to completely exterminate another. In the aftermath of the Great Reformation, the Ilibi League lost two Allied nations in the war, and almost all of the citizens of these two Allied countries were killed, except for small settlements in remote areas.

Maier also hates the Asahins now, and he agrees with his subordinates and allies. But as a king, he took a longer view, and the scale of this massacre was too large, which was likely to provoke other Mingji countries. In the event that the Mingji people launched an all-out racial war against the Ilibians at this juncture, the Ilibi Alliance, which was already not well armed, was doomed to be mired in war.

At that time, most of the land of the Tairong nobles will be taken away by the Ira, and most of the lands that will be taken by the Ira people are not controlled by the Ira, which is an uncontrollable factor. When these uncontrollable Ira forces digest the results of the battle, their strength will increase, and at the same time, the resistance in front of Mair will also increase, which is the last thing he wants to see.
