Traditional cold-weapon warfare is constrained by a variety of technical factors, such as battlefield width, communications dispatch, troop size, and logistical supply; a battle that lasts a few days or even a month or two on a battlefield rarely results in a battle that causes more than 100,000 casualties on one side.

More often than not, they are facing off against each other's two armies, even if the weaker side is not easy to attack without fighters, and will choose to stick to it.

Unless it is due to the low ability of the general, or internal political reasons, resulting in a unilateral rout being chased and fought by the enemy, forming a one-sided battlefield massacre.

At present, the Liang State has fought a defensive war for three months, and the casualties of the Yuke Liang army have reached hundreds of thousands, which has seriously affected the morale of the army, and the casualty compensation required after the war is not a loss that an agricultural prince can bear.

Such a battle made the Liang State, which once boasted of being rich in the world, overstretched, and the Xiangguo Jia Zhou was already overwhelmed, and he couldn't immediately let the Xian army replace the Liang army to repair.

On 12 August, the Liang army was allowed to pass through the border passes, and the Xian army was able to continue its westward advance, if it had been 10 years ago, it would have had to send someone to ask for instructions, and then send someone to inform that it would have been more than 10 days since it came and went, and the fighter plane had long been gone.

Before dark on August 15, the vanguard of the Xian army arrived outside Yongping City, and Bailiyan arrived together to see Su Fangxin, the chief military division of Yuke, who was sitting here.

"The Marquis of Yongxing came really quickly, and it really solved the urgent need of our army."

"Mr. Su said seriously, as a robe, it is the duty of our army to come to help. Sir, tell me how the battle is going right now. ”

"The head of the army is sitting in Liang County, and since the axillary landing in May, the enemy of the Vortex Bull Beach has landed at 50,000 and has advanced to less than 20 miles of Liang County. Tianyungang has been lost, Da Sima Xiang Shichong fell to defend the area of Cuicheng, still unable to resist the armpit offensive, and now half of the county has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the situation is dangerous.

The port of Jinye City is surrounded by land on three sides, and it is still firmly controlled by Gu Ruquan, but the armpit fleet relies on the powerful naval guns to bombard the port and the city day and night, and the city of Jinye is seriously damaged. ”

The Whirlpool Beach north of Liang County is a wetland, and the width of the wetland is about four to six miles, as the name suggests, cattle will fall into it, and people will not be inside and outside, so Whirlpool has not been included in the defense focus before.

The axillary people unexpectedly used liquid nitrogen, and hit a liquid nitrogen cover of more than 100 zhang wide and five miles wide in the vortex beach, freezing the wetland instantly, and then sending people to land, as long as the protective measures under the feet are done, no muscle tissue will be frostbitten.

Thick cotton or fine plant fiber products are usually used as an isolation measure, which is not difficult for axillary people who have developed physical and chemical conditions.

The armpit people who landed first, not only sent people ashore when they landed, but also had wooden barrels and planks ashore, they assembled the pontoon bridge on the spot, and took advantage of the favorable time before the frost damage was lifted to complete the laying of the wetland pontoon bridge, and at this time Liang Jun and Yuke were far from getting the news.

When the axillary people completed the erection of the wetland pontoon bridge, the frost damage effect caused by liquid nitrogen dissipated, and the axillary people began to build a floating dock, all the way deep into the sea, and at the same time set up a beachhead at the end of the wetland, and continuously sent troops ashore through the floating dock.

By the time the reinforcements arrived, it was already many days later, and the enemy troops ashore had reached more than 20,000 men, and various types of artillery were transported ashore through the floating dock, and the two armies immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Due to the fact that human beings have used a large number of field fortifications such as trench warfare, anti-artillery holes, cat's ear holes, and underground bunkers, they have avoided the traditional field warfare of forming formations and exposing the surface, and there has been no tragedy in which the superior firepower of the armpit people has been completely annihilated in one go.

As a result, in the past two years, the strategic attempt to destroy the living forces of the human race has been seriously delayed, but they have also changed their tactics.

The field warfare method of human fortification and trench digging is not the exclusive domain of humans, and the armpit people are also proficient in trench warfare, and they are far stronger than humans in physical fitness.

The Liang army used trench defense more by using bows and crossbows, as well as crossbow guns, to kill and injure long-distance targets, and at close range, incendiary bombs, thermite grenades, white phosphorus grenades, and detonator explosives provided by the Xian State, and the slightly better equipped Yuke was equipped with machine guns and cannons.

Because the human beings were hiding in the trench bunkers and digging a large number of cat's ear holes to prevent artillery holes, the black powder and a small amount of ammonium nitrate explosives fired by the armpit people did not pose a great threat to the human bunker fortifications.

However, they were several times physically stronger than humans, so they used the earth attack method, first using the long-range howitzer heavy artillery to suppress the fire of the royal artillery, and the armpit giants used shovels to dig trenches and advance towards the human position.

At the same time, their strength is greater than that of humans, their height is higher, and their fulcrums and forces are also stronger, and ordinary exogenous ignition ammonium nitrate grenades can throw more than 100 steps, which is beyond the range of a strong bow, and it is also outside the limit of human grenades throwing, which is equivalent to a small steel cannon.

The armpit people hid in the trenches and threw a large number of bombs to suppress the front-line positions of the human front.

They dug forward day and night, until they reached the human trenches, and at last they were left with hand-to-hand combat.

Once caught in hand-to-hand combat, human beings suffer a lot, the royal guest is equipped with a large number of shotguns, it is said to be a favorable weapon to deal with trench warfare, but the armpit people are generally issued with steel shields, more than seven or eight millimeters thick, shotguns can not play any role at all, on the contrary, armpit people are also issued with larger caliber shotguns, the threat to human beings is actually greater.

Although the Type 648 Yongxing rifle can penetrate the steel shield at close range, it can only be loaded with one shot, and after one blow, it can only be hand-to-hand combat, and bayonets, swords and spears are useless against such steel shields.

And with the use of grenades at close range, it doesn't matter at all to the armpit people. Even if they are seriously injured, they can heal themselves quickly in a month or two, but humans cannot, so they dare to use a large number of bombs at close range.

Once the first line of trenches is breached, the communication trenches between the trenches and the trenches become the passage through which they attack, so that one line of defense is lost, and all lines of defense will quickly collapse.

In addition, the appearance of the Beastman caused a heavy blow to the Royal Guest, and the Beastman was not only tall and tall, reaching more than a zhang, but also had an amazing jumping ability.

After running, it is easy to jump more than two zhang high, the span of a jump is seven or eight zhang away, and it can jump several times without interruption, and jump over a distance of more than 100 meters in more than ten seconds.

After learning about the battle situation in detail, Xiao Gongyi rushed to Yongping City from Liang County a little later.

"The arrival of the Marquis of Yongxing is really timely, my faction has been fighting here for several months and cannot win, and now the soldiers are tired and suffer heavy casualties, and they urgently need to be replaced, and the Xian army does not know when to replace our army."

"Master Xiao is a little restless, our army will be able to take over the Liang army and Yuke at dawn tomorrow, all the wounded of the two armies will be sent to our army's field hospital in Yongping City, and the removed soldiers and horses will leave 50,000 fighting men and horses to listen to my call, and the rest will be repaired one day later in our army's car, and all the reinforcements of Cuicheng and Jinye will be sent in batches.

In addition, I brought 15,000 Type 651 guns and ammunition this time, and Master Xiao ordered the royal guest to replace the old guns as soon as possible and rushed to reinforce them. ”

"This is very good, but the armpit artillery is very powerful, far outside the heavy artillery of the Xian army, our army has suffered a big loss in several battles, otherwise it would not have been able to attack Liang County."

The structure and configuration of the new army of Yuke are all equipped according to the old establishment of the Xian army, and one-third of the artillery has been changed to a breech fixed gun of 645, and half of the heavy artillery has been upgraded and changed to a rear-loading rapid-fire gun, but the ultimate firing range of the 125 millimeter heavy gun is still only 20 miles.

However, the howitzers of the armpit man can hit 26 miles away, and the larger caliber ones have a range of more than 30 miles. Therefore, after the armpit eye brought the heavy artillery ashore, it became a tricky trouble.

All the artillery currently equipped by the Xian army does not have a firing range of more than 30 miles, and the new artillery is still being studied, and the only heavy artillery that can match it is the 645 type 108 jin fortress gun.

One hundred and eight pounds of fortress modified guns, the maximum range of the breech charge is twenty-six miles, and the maximum range of the upgraded 645 modified rear gun is twenty-eight miles, since it is a fortress gun, the weight is not generally light, the medium-sized truck cannot be towed at all, and the pressure-bearing capacity of the road is also a problem.

Therefore, it must be disassembled before it can be transported, because it is too troublesome, thousands of miles of long-distance maneuvering, it is difficult to use it for rapid maneuver operations.

However, the more than 50 armpit howitzers seized from the ironclad canning ship the previous time could only be supplemented to various coastal areas for use as coastal defense guns because the base and weight of the guns were too large, which was not conducive to mobile transportation on the road.

After learning about the situation in Liang County from Xiao Gongyi, Bailiyan convened a military meeting overnight to deploy tomorrow's defense change.

In the three months since May, the Liang army has suffered 110,000 casualties, more than 50,000 killed and more than 70,000 wounded.

In the early years, Yuke has been seeking medical treatment from Xianguo, and the medical technology is basically the second in the world in addition to Xianguo, and there is a field hospital set up, and the medicines are supplied by Xianguo, and there are not a few medical workers. In other words, it is a traditional combat war, and it is simply not appropriate to cause such large casualties.

Most of the dead were not killed by shelling and bullets, but by hand-to-hand combat, and once they fell into hand-to-hand combat, human beings could not resist it at all.

Liang Jun's armor still stayed in the armor and leather armor, although the iron armor was replaced by steel armor, but the ordinary carbon steel sheet with a thickness of only one or two millimeters could not stop the killing of the axillary bayonet at all, let alone the projectile of the shotgun.

The situation of the royal guest is slightly better, the purchase is the steel plate armor produced in the middle of the Xian Army, but it is not manganese steel, the problem of defending against ordinary blade damage is not big, and the large-caliber rifle bullets of shotguns cannot be stopped at close range, and the difference in height and strength makes hand-to-hand combat a nightmare for mankind.

That night, Bailiyan did not feel sleepy, he stood on the north watchtower of Yongping City, and the naked eye could clearly see the Liangxian artillery dozens of miles away rushing to the sky, and he could faintly hear the fierce artillery fire.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, the Xian army made meals, and the armies distributed ammunition and emergency rations for three days. As soon as the hour passed, the Xian army got on the car and rushed to assemble five miles south of Liang County.

Liang County, a very ordinary county, should produce solid wood, exquisite woodworking products, good at processing room beams and columns and get a "Liang County", there have been a lot of builders and carpenters in history.
