Chapter 644: War of Attrition

There can be no doubt that this was a tentative proceed, with about four thousand men besieging three prominent positions each. The commander of the Xing Navy did not give the order to open fire, but continued to shoot these enemies armed with cold weapons with platoon guns. In less than an hour, the opponent couldn't support it, and retreated like a tide, and after witnessing this battle, Chen Xie left with more confidence.

A local puppet army with a white flag left the position and walked towards the opponent's assembly area, although he was half dead in fear of swords and guns, he still trembled and explained his intentions. The Ming Empire raised a navy, and when the Mughal Empire troops were allowed to collect corpses, they would not attack.

When Jahan heard about this, he wanted to hack the traitor who came to communicate, but he finally held back. Quite simply, the opponent allowed the collection of corpses, which was really an irresistible temptation for his own army. If he refused, the vast majority of soldiers would feel uncomfortable, how could they not collect the corpses? If you agree, you will put yourself in a lot of trouble, not only those who have died in battle, but also the wounded, these people will die on the front position if they are not saved, and they will have to be healed if they are saved.

Just because he doesn't take a soldier's life seriously doesn't mean that he is stupid enough not to understand the viciousness of his opponent's move. As long as he doesn't agree, the disintegration effect on morale is absolutely good, and if he agrees, it may not be demoralized, just look at those wounded soldiers. As long as you are shot, the injured part must be a big eye. Lead bullets are not copper and iron, and their fragile properties are very fatal, and they can easily become wounds such as dummy bullets. Of course, Jahan didn't understand any of this, but he had seen the tragedy of the wounded when they returned.

Once the torso is hit, it is often difficult to heal the wounded, which is a great psychological deterrent for every soldier.

The lesser of two evils, Jahan didn't hesitate too much. Nodding in agreement. After a simple agreement, there is an additional rule on the battlefield, every time the battle is over, someone can be sent out to collect the corpse. The problem is that at present, this agreement is not collected by the Mughal Empire. Accept the goodwill of your opponent.

This is Chen Xie's cunning, this place is different from Nanyang, in Nanyang you can engage in battles to exterminate tribes at every turn, but not here. It is too far away, and the Indians are not as unruly as the natives of the southern part of the South Seas, and belong to a relatively easy to tame species. Therefore, while making a kind move to undermine the morale of the opponent, it can also change the local people's impression of the Ming Empire's army. Kill two birds with one stone. Why not? What if Jahan refuses? Isn't that a lot of money?

How to fight at the front, Chen Xie doesn't have to care too much now, what he needs to care about is how to ensure the safety of the logistics line, if to ensure the stability of the occupied area. This matter must be used well. Sharyar and his companions came to Chen Xie's headquarters again, and this time Chen Xie's attitude was more gentle, demanding that they do everything possible to perfect the establishment of a new order. Ensure the stability of law and order on the ground. After all, it's a big soldier now, and who knows how many people will be secretly ready to move.

In the beginning. These traitors were also quite uneasy, but after quickly watching the first tentative battle on the battlefield, everyone became confident. This victory came too easily, not a single person on his side was injured, leaving hundreds of corpses and wounded people on the opposite side, so why hesitate? Let's speed up the pace of ideological transformation. If you want to be a traitor early, if you want to be a traitor later, you will be blown by others.

The sky is getting late, the sun is setting, and the lush sky on the horizon shows the fat of this continent.

Jahan's army retreated thirty miles and encamped. There is no meaning of being surrounded by groups. When Chen Xie knew the news, he was watching the sunset over the continent in front of the window. "Really? What do you think? That is, he asked casually, Xi was asked, a pair of eyes were big, staring at Chen Xie's back and looking at the tall man wrapped in golden light, he couldn't help but give a very nymphomaniac answer: "Grandpa is the god in the world!" ”

Since he is a god, he is naturally omniscient. Chen Xie was thundered by this answer, looked back at the little girl, and couldn't help but smile: "The place with the most gods in this world is this continent." Well, is this time a battle of the gods? ”

Xi was frightened: "'War of the Gods', why haven't I seen other gods?" Chen Xie couldn't help laughing, this little Japanese girl, from the initial precautions, to now can be trusted, Chen Xie has been more casual about some things. Do you believe in God? It's good to believe in God, it depends on what God you believe?

Under the cover of night, a group of dark shadows quietly left the position and sneaked outside the camp of Jahan's army. In a team of two, they quickly assembled a simple small rocket launcher, a trick that is now a common trick used by the Xing Navy. Relying on the range of rockets, harassment at night or sudden overshoot is launched.

Jahan, of course, doesn't live in the front, and his line is in the back, in a small city, Malegon. Summoned his subordinates to discuss the military situation, and did not sleep until late at night, and just fell asleep in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and immediately woke up. Shah Jahan is a lover who has always been in love with Taj and has not continued since he was widowed. This will sleep alone, and it will not sleep deeply.

"What's going on?" The chamberlain next to him came in and said, "Back to the emperor, it was the camp in front that was attacked by fire." ”

After simply dressing up, Shah Jahan came to the high place of the city wall, and watched the fire outside the city, and the continuous camp was lit, and the fire was extremely fierce. What's going on? How can someone else touch it to prevent fire?

After tossing for a little in the middle of the night, the fire stopped, and soon the generals in front came to report, and Shah Jahan figured out that the opponent did not touch the camp at all, but released a rocket far away, causing a fire after falling into the camp. It should be said that his luck was very bad, this night attack was only fifty rockets, but two rockets landed in the fodder for feeding the animals, which immediately caused a fire, and the fire became uncontrollable due to the fact that there was a lot of wind at night.

In any case, although the casualties caused by this night attack were not large, it was a big blow to the morale of the soldiers. Since it is not the sentry's fault, there is nothing to say. Shah Jahan decided to launch a general offensive immediately, not giving his opponent time and opportunity to continue to demoralize his army.

An army of 200,000 men besieged from all directions, and Shah Jahan would also besiege Sanqueyi, hoping that his opponent would flee and he could pursue him. But soon it became clear that things were not as simple as they thought, and the enemy had built a lot of strange fortifications on the outskirts of the city, forming some salients. To get close to the city walls, it was necessary to take these salients.

The first day of fighting was fought around these salients.

Ushito Jiro's company was naturally the first to bear the brunt, and was surrounded on three sides early in the morning, and no less than 2,000 people launched a decisive attack. With the help of barbed wire, the platoon worked well, the first attack was repulsed in less than an hour, and the subsequent development became a little tougher. Because the opponent didn't care about the death toll at all, as soon as the team in front of them retreated, another wave immediately came up, and this time the attack was still advancing against the fierce volleys of guns, successfully making the first barbed wire ineffective. And rushed to about fifty meters before being stopped again by barbed wire. However, this time the enemy suffered more casualties, because at this distance, they were covered by grenades. With just two rounds of grenade throws, this army, which seemed fearless of death, collapsed in an instant.

But soon a third attack followed, and the artillerymen, who had been holding back, suddenly became powerful, unveiled their concealment, and fired heavily with shotguns, knocking back the enemy who had tried to break through the second barbed wire.

Now in the fourth battle, the barrels and barrels of the guns are red, the grenades are almost consumed, and the enemy is finally repulsed. Liu Jiang, the life guide who had been fighting on the front line, came back from the front and found Niu Tojiro who was frowning and observing: "Company commander, you can retreat." The regimental headquarters has already sent out signal flares, and if it does not withdraw, it will be surrounded. ”

"How much ammunition is left?" Ushito didn't really want to retreat, not because he was brave, but because this position was very important, and it was stuck in the ribs of the enemy's advance path, that is, as long as this place was not lost, and if he wanted to go around and attack the city, he would be hit from the flank. "Less than halfway through, the enemy went crazy, regardless of casualties after attacking for a morning, I saw that in front of the position, there were at least 3,000 dead and wounded, and I just refused to stop."

"Obey orders!" As soon as Niu Teng heard that there was no ammunition left, he immediately made a decision. Taking advantage of the gap between repulsing this attack, the company immediately retreated along the communication trench. At the end of the day, there were many people and no wounded, and the whole morning's fighting was a one-sided massacre.

The situation was similar for the other companies, all of which held their positions and killed and wounded the enemy with long-range fire. The exact results of the battle are unknown, but according to the results of the battle of his company, at least tens of thousands of enemies were killed and wounded in one morning.

After Chen Xie's side got the results, he was not surprised at all. The gap in equipment is too large, and it is simply an asymmetrical battle. The only trouble is that the ammunition is consumed too much, and it is all transported from the back to the front. According to the intensity of the fighting in the morning, the ammunition currently hoarded can last for up to six days. That is, he must crush his opponent on the fifth day.

More concerned than Chen Xie about the results of the battle are those traitors, they have been carefully observing the battlefield, and when the battle is over, after a morning of fighting, Shar Yar will report to Chen Xie very firmly: "Shah Jahan can't last long, his most elite troops, one morning consumed more than thirty percent, continue to fight like this, it won't last long." This sentence flashed Chen Xie. (To be continued......)
