And under the initiative, the enemy's cavalry and mobile troops are obviously a big trouble, and he must solve them as soon as possible, but Qiao Xuan has been fighting for a long time, and he has already understood the layout on the battlefield, where will he give Shu Han a chance, after the arrival of his mobile troops, he did not immediately launch an attack on the defense line of the Survival League, obviously, he was also very surprised by the machine guns and other equipment of the Survival Alliance, in the face of such weapons, the combat ability of the cavalry and the agitated troops was undoubtedly reduced, So naturally he will not go out directly.
In order not to lose the advantages of their own side, they chose to use these soldiers to wander around, thereby narrowing the living space of the Survival Alliance, so that their control area could not be expanded, and at the same time, the existence of this mobile force also made the Holy Alliance want to rely on a powerful navy to carry out landing operations It has become a castle in the air, with this force, Qiao Xuan can take this force to a place within a few hours to sweep the enemy, its number is more than the number of the Survival Alliance's naval army, and the speed of action is also very fast, This made it impossible for the Survival Alliance to continue to implement the landing plan, and could only use the naval army to bomb on the water, but such bombardment, the distance is obviously limited, if it gets too close, it will be targeted by more enemy batteries, and far away, it can only bomb the dock.
And the entire Holy Alliance relies on the vast plains, so it has established a very powerful transportation network on land, the mileage of the railway alone is more than twice that of the Survival Alliance, which is also a helpless thing, the Survival Alliance builds a railway, either through the forest, or through the mountains, it can be said that it is in a place with complex terrain, and it is naturally very troublesome to build, and the Holy Alliance does not have these problems, they can rely on the relics left by the old era to ensure the smooth flow of the rivers, Then build railroad tracks on land, and it can be transported, which is more convenient and simple than the survival alliance.
It is precisely because of this that even if the water transportation is cut off, the impact on the Holy Alliance is not so great, so the advantage of the Survival Alliance in the water army has undoubtedly been resolved, and in the case of confrontation between the two sides, Qiao Xuan also arrived at the front line with his large army unhurriedly, occupied the newly built defense line, and confronted each other with Shu Han at a distance of more than ten kilometers.
By this time, it has become more troublesome to quickly decide the outcome of the war, and for Shu Han now, such a situation is obviously very unfavorable, his time is limited, he can already clearly feel that the power in his body is restless, and more importantly, it is not so, the survival alliance is now 350,000 troops, completely relying on a city to support, this will not work at all, all the materials need to be transported from the rear, which is definitely a great burden for the survival alliance, It simply doesn't last long.
Another point is the nitroglycerin of the Holy Alliance, if it drags on for too long, and when Qiao Xuan mass-produces nitroglycerin, then the weapon ability of the Holy Alliance will undergo earth-shaking changes, and when the time comes, with Shu Han's machine guns and modern rifles, it will not be able to fight against these powerful weapons at all, after all, on the technology tree, the two sides are no longer at the same level, so Shu Han must dare to launch an attack on the enemy as soon as possible when Qiao Xuan has not equipped his weapons with the whole army, which is very important.
This makes Shu Han constantly use the army to collide from all angles and cause damage to the enemy, which is naturally useful, at this time Qiao Xuan's heavy firepower weapons have not yet arrived at the front line, and Qiao Xuan, in order to ensure that his defense line will not collapse again, although it has been very slow, but it is definitely a very fast speed on weekdays, not to mention that this army has just finished the battle with the city-state of Huaibei, and it is in a state of need to recuperate, and at this time it suddenly came to the front line of the other side to participate in another war, Both physically and psychologically, it is natural to be more tired.
And the lack of heavy firearms also makes their firepower unable to completely cover the army of the Survival Alliance, and the other point is that in a week's time, even if the Holy Alliance spends great strength and resources, it is obviously not enough to build a line of defense, so when Qiao Xuan is stationed in this line of defense, it can be said that all the facilities are not yet complete, in addition to the infrastructure, most of the facilities still need to be improved, under this premise, Shu Han launched an attack, which is undoubtedly the right choice, so the results are also very large.
For three days, Qiao Xuan felt the pressure brought by the Survival Alliance, tons of bullets and shells kept tilting towards the defense line of the Holy Alliance, and teams of troops entered various cities, street battles, positional battles, trench battles, etc., at the same time, the same place broke out one after another, connecting the seven cities of its entire defense line, constantly occupied by the Survival Alliance and the Holy Alliance, in just three days, these cities became a ruin, and the originally beautiful city was full of corpses and wreckage at this time.
In such a fierce war, even Qiao Xuan was a little powerless, after all, he was old, on the other hand, the dilapidated defense line also made him need to invest more energy to stabilize this line of defense, and the production in the rear must also be grasped, which made Qiao Xuan exhausted, if it weren't for his energy, I am afraid that he would not have been able to do it at this moment.
In the three days of attack, there were many breaches in the defense line, and fortunately, Qiao Xuan had such a cavalry in his hands, which could act flexibly and block Shu Han's attack, but even so, the simple defense line also made Qiao Xuan a little careless, and several times let the army of the Survival Alliance rush into the defense line, although the city is still stable now, but it also made Qiao Xuan a little frightened, he has fought for so many years, it can be said that there is rarely such a feeling of life and death, which makes him very angry on the one hand, On the other hand, it was also terrifying, but more than that, it was exciting, and this was a complete tyrant.
For danger, even if he will feel fear and anger like ordinary people, but these emotions are just a momentary thing, he will feel more excitement from this blood and cruelty, at this moment, Qiao Xuan, as if back to the state of twenty or thirty years old, began to deal with his work without sleep every day, compared to the old dragon clock, Qiao Xuan at this time, undoubtedly under the stimulation, has become the most peak self again.
This also makes the state of the Holy Alliance greatly improved, Qiao Xuan's orders were issued faster and more decisively, this change in posture has made the entire Holy Alliance Legion have changed significantly, it will be the courage of the soldiers, no matter how cruel and tyrannical Qiao Xuan is, in the army, he is undoubtedly the god of war that symbolizes victory, under his leadership, this army has won victory after victory, they have never failed, and Qiao Xuan is their symbol, now this Tao order, It made the entire Holy Alliance Legion excited, and this feeling naturally made Shu Han aware of it.
In three days, the entire front line of the Holy Alliance has been broken, but it has never been breached, every time it comes to the last moment, but it is always a little bit worse, such a victory is obviously not able to satisfy Shu Han, after all, their losses at this time are already very large, in just three days, the loss on the side of the Holy Alliance has exceeded 80,000 people, and more than 30,000 people have been injured, but in three days, more than 100,000 people have lost the ability to fight, such losses, if placed in the past, it is enough to make the Holy Alliance completely collapse, From the disappearance of reality, we can only find a sense of existence in the pile of old papers of history.
And even now, such a loss makes Shu Han feel uncomfortable, but there is no way, the policy of attacking has been decided at this moment, and no one can stop, besides, except for taking advantage of this time, under the premise that Qiao Xuan is not ready, he will attack with all his might, and it is possible to achieve victory, there is no other better way, for this reason, he must continue to persevere, and the entire survival alliance is obviously ready to fight to the death, 100,000 people died or were injured because of the war, 150,000 people were sent to the battlefield to participate in this battle.
The tents of the Survival Alliance have not gradually shrunk because of the war, but on the contrary, they have become larger, and the huge population and powerful industry have allowed them to quickly arm the people into soldiers, and then thousands of them will be transported to the front line to participate in this war of annihilation.
It can be said that this war fully demonstrated the concentrated embodiment of industrialization in the five years of the Survival Alliance, and the tens of millions of people gave birth to this continuous advancing army, and the same is true of the Holy Alliance, their industrial system is also very strong, and at the same time more concentrated, but in terms of population, they have always fallen behind, although there is no problem now, but as long as the war lasts for a long time, it is easy to fall into the point where there are no soldiers available.
But now, the Holy Alliance is not false at all, hundreds of thousands of people are being trained and equipped in the rear, and more than 100,000 people have already rushed to the front line to join the main force for three days of war? Far from enough, this is destined to be a real war of attrition, the Survival Alliance and the Holy Alliance have already put all their belongings into it, the winner takes all, and the loser will be completely out of this game.
This gambler's thinking has led both sides to increase their weight, and thousands of people die every day, and the entire front line is like a meat grinder, constantly devouring human life, which undoubtedly fuels the number of vultures, and by the end of the war, people no longer have the strength to clean up the corpses of their comrades, and these corpses are placed directly in the rubble.
At this time, the vultures will come over to have a full meal, sometimes, a big war, often leaving tens of thousands of corpses of all parties, the war between the two sides, so that everyone is exhausted, and the soldiers are even more so, originally in an army, often everyone knows each other, after the other party sacrifices, no matter what, the corpse will be brought with him, so that his family can at least have a longing existence.
But now, the fierceness of the war has made these most basic soldiers, almost every day change their teammates, and they have not been with each other for a day, they are sent to the battlefield, some of them have stayed on that land forever, and these comrades-in-arms, the feelings for each other are often not deep, coupled with the fierce fighting, so that they have no extra time to clean up these corpses, and eventually they all become food for the vultures.
And this undoubtedly makes the spread of the disease more unscrupulous, now it is almost the end of spring, to the time of summer, any meat put outside, it does not take a day to start rotting, not to mention the corpse of a person, it only takes half a day, it will exude a very unpleasant smell, and when these vultures finish eating, they naturally have a large number of bacteria left on their bodies, fortunately, these vultures do not live with humans, they live in the forest themselves, these bacteria bring in, the impact on humans, It doesn't show up yet, but for the soldiers, it will undoubtedly make their hearts even heavier.
They go to the battlefield, they are not afraid of sacrifice, death may come at any time, whether they are willing or unwilling in their hearts, they have already been prepared, but they do not want to become a vulture's meal after death, but hope that their ashes can return to their hometown, to their relatives, not here, become a pile of meat, and then be eaten by these vultures.
This undoubtedly greatly hit the soldiers' enthusiasm for fighting, and later, the soldiers' battles were completely supported by a desire to survive, at this time what unity, what honor has become ashes, for the lowest soldiers, they just want to end the war quickly, and then return to their hometown, with their relatives, as for what wealth, reputation, they no longer care.
Most of these people have never experienced war, they don't understand the cruelty of war, in their eyes, war is like those storytellers in the mouth of blood, romantic, even with a hint of gentlemanly demeanor, war is their shortcut to wealth, is just a place for them to take risks, but now, when the real war is unreservedly displayed in front of them, many people regret it.
But since the war began, it was no longer up to them to decide whether to start it or not, and now both the Holy Alliance and the Survival League had invested too much manpower and material resources in this war, and if they stopped there, no one could afford the consequences of the war, the drastic decline in adult men, the reduction of agricultural land, and the problem of urban development.
Of course, these problems are not the most serious, what is more serious is that whether it is the Holy Alliance or the Survival Alliance, in essence, they are representatives of suppressing local power through strong armed forces, among which the Holy Alliance is more obvious, while the Survival Alliance is relatively obscure, but in the same way, it is also because the central concentration of absolute force allows them to order the Quartet to obey their orders, it can be said that their rights do not come from the legal system, but from the force in their hands.
