Ansu City, Dongdingzhou, this Xinzhou city in Dongdingzhou has become one of the busiest cities.

One train after another continued to travel back and forth to the north, transporting countless supplies to the front, and at any time there were recruits who had just completed their training to take the train north to the front.

The Battle of Jingshi was like a huge whirlpool, devouring countless materials and the lives of the soldiers of the Daheng Unification Army.

On July 10, just three days after the front line was fought, Lin Ziran received an urgent reinforcement report from Liang Chenglei!

Because within three days of opening the war zone, the troops consumed more than 30 percent of the ammunition that the logistics department estimated for the entire Beijing Division's battle!

After consuming so much ammunition, the effect was also obvious, and the casualties were not too large.

This Jingshi Battle is the battle with the largest offensive scale, the largest number of artillery used, and the largest number of front-line troops since the establishment of the Daheng Unified Army!

But the casualty rate is not high!

During these three days, the Jingzhou Front not only launched an attack on the southern bank of the city, but also continued to cross the river, reinforcing cavalry units and engaging enemy reinforcements.

The entire Battle of Jingshi broke out on the north and south banks of the Jinghe River at the same time, and the troops of both sides participated in the battle with huge forces.

The Jingzhou Front on the side of the Daheng Unification Army had four infantry corps, two cavalry corps, and two artillery brigades.

On the enemy's side, the defenders of the southern bank urban area are expected to have nearly 80,000 troops, the northern bank urban area also has more than 20,000 people, and the first batch of reinforcements organized by the enemy's three states adds up to more than 50,000 people, and the total strength of the enemy army is at least about 150,000 according to preliminary statistics.

Hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides have broken out in a tragic battle in the past few days!

Under the fierce battle, the enemy side continued to suffer heavy losses, but their own casualties were not too many.

The battlefields on all sides add up to more than 5,000 people.

And this is the total casualty figure, many of them are still ordinary wounded, the injuries are ordinary, and if they are not unlucky enough to be infected, then it will not be long before they can return to the army.

Even if the Daheng unified army has established a systematic military medical system, and medical personnel have been set up in all levels of the army, but due to the limitations of the overall times, the medical technology is low, and the drugs are lacking, so the treatment methods are still relatively lacking.

In the final battle, the number of casualties was not very large, in the scale of hundreds of thousands, in the beginning of the fierce fighting, the direct number of casualties was about 1,000, this figure was completely acceptable for the Jingzhou Front Army, which had more than 200,000 participants.

The report of the Battle of Jingshi made Lin Ziran frown because the consumption of ammunition was too huge!

This also further confirms the difficulty of the Jingshi Campaign, and the total casualties of more than 5,000 people have been consumed with so much ammunition, and if there is a shortage of ammunition, this casualty figure will probably become more than 10,000 or even 20,000 or even 20,000.

Lin Ziran is naturally very clear about the difficulties of the battle of the Beijing Division, it seems that the Beijing Division has been completely surrounded by his own side, but this Beijing Division is not easy to fight, and because of the existence of the Ji royal family and the existence of Gaoqing Prefecture, Ningwu Prefecture and Pingnan Prefecture in the north, the defenders of this place will not surrender easily.

Even these three prefectures and the northern part of Jingzhou are doing everything possible to organize troops in an attempt to relieve the siege of the Beijing Division.

At the same time, Jingshi is also a super large city with a population of more than 100 people, with a huge urban area, many buildings and a complex environment.

During the period, the defense force exceeded 100,000, with more than 100 advanced breech-loading rifled guns, and countless ammunition and other weapons were hoarded.

The food they hoarded was enough for more than a million soldiers and civilians in the city to eat for more than three months!

If the defenders were ruthless and adopted a food rationing system to give priority to meeting the needs of the defenders, the food would allow them to last for about half a year.

Jingshi is not easy to fight, this is something that everyone knows!

If the Jingshi was easy to fight, the Ji royal family would have been wiped out by other feudal towns a long time ago, and in the turmoil of the past few decades, it is not that no other feudal towns have entered Jingzhou, but no feudal town has ever been able to take the Jingshi, and even all the feudal towns, they don't even have the courage to attack the Jingshi.

The Daheng Unification Army is the first army with the courage and strength to enter the Beijing Division since the founding of the Sixth Dynasty of Daheng 300 years ago!

But if it's not easy to fight, you have to fight, this is the consensus of the entire Daheng unified army!

Only by taking the Beijing Division can we completely open up the Jinghe River and control the entire Jingzhou, and then lay the strategic advantage of the Daheng Unification Army in the northeast direction, and then lay the overall situation of reunification.

If it is said that the battle of the southern front of Jingzhou was the first turning point in the war between the north and the south, winning this battle allowed the Daheng unified army to completely gain a strategic advantage.

Then the Battle of Jingshi will be the second turning point, winning this battle will be able to make the balance of the unification war completely tilt in favor of the Daheng Unification Army, and no matter how much other states resist, they will not be able to turn over the storm.

The Battle of Jingshi is very important, and there is another major reason for the Daheng Unification Army to grit its teeth and gnaw on this hard bone, that is, the current Daheng Unification Army is already able to support the huge consumption, and even be able to use this huge consumption to consume the war potential of the seven northern states.

In order to further weaken the strength of the northern states, especially Gaoqing Prefecture, Ningwu Prefecture, and Pingnan Prefecture, and lay the foundation for subsequent advances into these three states.

This can be seen from the fact that Gaoqing Prefecture, Ningwu Prefecture, and Pingnan Prefecture continue to send reinforcements south!

In the Battle of Jingshi, in fact, it seems that the largest scale is the battle in the south bank city, but in fact, the battle in this area is not tragic, and Liang Chenglei did not let the troops charge desperately or anything like that, but it was steady and steady, and it seemed that the troops were invested in a huge amount, but in fact the casualties were not large.

The resistance of the defenders in the city seems to be resolute, but whenever the enemy army in a block is surrounded, they often do not fight the trapped beasts, and when they find that they can't resist, the commander will often order surrender.

After all, everyone knows that this is just a civil war, and it is to be fought, but there is no need to show the courage of a foreign war to the death!

This is also the reason why the number of enemy troops actually killed and wounded by the Daheng Unification Army in the process of unification war is not large, because it often fights for a while, and after the other side finds that it can't be defeated, it orders surrender or even simply goes straight to the front anyway.

So, don't look at the excitement of the Daheng Unification War, but in fact, the casualty rate is still relatively low.

Therefore, Nancheng District seems to have invested the most troops on both sides, but in fact, the casualty rate of both sides is not as large as Liang Chenglei expected, although the total number is not small, but as long as the scope of the battle is large and there are many belligerent troops, if it is evenly distributed, in fact, the casualty rate of the troops is still within the normal range.

The area where the real casualty rate is relatively high is still the area on the north bank of the Jing River.

After Liang Chenglei sent two cavalry corps and the 18th Division to cross the river in the early stage, he quickly completed the strategic encirclement of the city on the north bank of the Beijing Division, but the enemy soon had reinforcements arriving, and at the same time, the troops in the city on the north bank of the enemy army also began to try to counterattack.

At the beginning of the battle, the Third Cavalry Army suffered a lot of losses, and a cavalry regiment was ambushed by more than 5,000 cavalry troops of the enemy, thus being severely damaged, and only more than 300 cavalry of the whole regiment of more than 800 cavalry fled in disarray.

The 18th Division was also counterattacked by the defenders of the north bank city, and the pressure was relatively great.

For this reason, Liang Chenglei had to send the 17th Division to cross the river again for reinforcements, which stabilized the situation on the north bank.

However, this situation is actually what the top leaders of the Daheng United Army want to see: use the Jingshi Campaign to attract troops from Gaoqingzhou, Ningwuzhou, and Nanpingzhou, and then eliminate them in the mobile war, so as to avoid the dilemma of attacking the city after entering the above-mentioned states in the future.
