Chapter 251, a brutal war of attrition

In the following time, the entire Yuzhang County was bombed in the air, artillery bombarded, and from time to time there was a tank rolling.

Relying on the superiority of weapons, he stubbornly held the line along the south bank of the Yangtze River, and began to dig two lines of defense and three lines of defense to ensure that after the ghost clan broke through the defense line on the south bank of the Yangtze River, there was still a way back.

In less than a month, more than 3 million skeleton soldiers were eliminated by Yuzhang County, even if the skeleton soldiers of the ghost clan were cannon fodder, and they were consumed so quickly, it also gave the ghost clan a headache, and they felt sorry for their cannon fodder for the first time.

And the entire Yangtze River defense line, this month has lost more than 10 million skeleton soldiers, even the great family of the Great Eternal Night Emperor can't bear such consumption, at this rate, another year of fighting, his skeleton cannon fodder will disappear.

The Emperor of the Eternal Night began to cherish the cannon fodder skeleton soldiers under his hands, and ordered them to reduce their losses, and everyone could only think of a way, in the past, the skeleton soldiers attacked a phalanx and a phalanx were densely packed, although he knew that Daqi's artillery was sharp, but he never thought of improving it, after all, in the eyes of the commanders of these ghost clans, the skeleton soldiers of the ghost clan are endless, and there is a need to spend this brain saving, and replace a batch when they die.

But now after being criticized by the Emperor of the Eternal Night, they are now starting to form a scattered formation to attack the defense line of Daqi, which will not kill a few more people, and even reduce the offensive power, but in this way, Daqi will consume more artillery, and it can also reduce the consumption rate of cannon fodder.

And Xu Hao is also even more busy, Daqi's industrial foundation is not solid, but it has been forcibly piled up by Xu Hao in the past 5 years, and there is something missing in all aspects, which will be slowly made up with the passage of time. And now to support the consumption of 5 million soldiers, a little short board will affect the production of the entire industry, and the consumption of 5 million soldiers makes Xu Hao's industrialization system a little inadequate. Now there are often places where there is a shortage of all kinds.

And now Yuzhang County has become the logistics base of the entire Great Qi, the entire Xiuzhen Realm and the Great Qi Imperial Court have collected all their large-scale space equipment and handed it over to this high-level monk to use, they came to Yuzhang County, filled it with arms here, and then flew to the battle line on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Give these arms to the soldiers on the front line, because they want to guard against the attack of the ghost clan, these monks are all masters of the fourth rank or above, thinking that they can't care about the dignity of the monks, they began to be transporters!

But even so, there is often a shortage of arms and materials, and Xu Hao can only increase the number of trips to and from modern society, relying on the help of the state to make up for the lack of military supplies in Daqi.

Fortunately, the state helped Xu Hao solve the rune bullets and shells, he started from the third batch of munitions, whether it was a cannonball or a bullet, it was full of demon suppression runes and exorcism runes, as long as these runes were filled with mana, hundred-year-level ghosts, skeletons, zombies, basically one shot. Seven-grade ghost cultivation is also a matter of dozens of shots or one cannon to solve, even if it is a ghost cultivator above the Yin God level, if there are more bullets and shells like this, they will be seriously damaged.

It has appeared several times on the battlefield, ordinary people used artillery to kill the ghost cultivators of the 6th rank Yin God level of the Ghost Clan, which caused a huge sensation, ordinary people can kill the ghost cultivators of the Yin God level, this is an unprecedented thing, and the Great Qi Imperial Court spread these news in order to boost morale.

And the morale of the ghost cultivators on the north bank of the Yangtze River has declined, and they were originally the strongest party, but now that Daqi has the Demon Slayer Musket, the strength of the artillery has increased by more than 2 times.

This is equivalent to an ordinary person, holding a bullet with a demon suppression rune, he can kill the ghost cultivator of the eighth grade and the ninth grade, and even a team of 10 people can kill the ghost cultivator of the seventh grade, after the equipment of this batch of munitions, it is equivalent to the banner has 5 million monks of the ninth grade and eight grades, and it is no longer lost to the ghost clan in terms of grassroots strength, and even greatly exceeds the ghost clan, and the ghost clan is equivalent to the ninth grade of the ghost cultivator does not exceed one million, and the military strength of the entire Daqi has reached a new level, making the consumption of the entire ghost clan more intense.

After discovering this situation, the Emperor of the Eternal Night increased his efforts to attack Daqi, and now the front line is no longer a skeleton soldier alone, which will be mixed with some eight or nine zombie souls in it, but it is a pity that the soldiers of Daqi who have experience in dealing with the ghost clan can already eliminate these zombie souls at a small price.

It can be said that the war has been going on to the extent that the strength of the two sides has reversed, but there is no overwhelming advantage, everyone has entered the most difficult stage of attrition, and both sides can only fight to the death.

In Daqi, the fertilizer factory no longer makes chemical fertilizer, but is converted into explosives, which are made into bullets and shells and transported to the front line to fight the ghosts.

And the Emperor of the Eternal Night has also begun to run out of patience, he has discovered the importance of Yuzhang County to the entire Great Qi, even surpassing the so-called temporary capital Xiangyang City.

He gradually transferred the main force of the ghost clan to Yuzhang County, and gradually began to disobey the so-called rules, often sending the best six-grade ghost cultivators to raid the military industrial zone of Yuzhang County, and destroy the firearms factory, artillery factory, and explosives factory in Yuzhang County.

And the effect of such a military operation is also very significant, the first raid caused the entire military base in Yuzhang County to stop production for a month, or it was only with the efforts of Xu Hao and others that the production line was resumed.

But this behavior stopped the arms transportation on the front line for a month, and the soldiers became accustomed to the pleasant feeling of holding rifles and artillery.

Picking up the sword again and slashing with the ghost clan, the combat effectiveness plummeted, and the casualties of this month were also the most serious since the battle, with 100,000 soldiers dying in this month.

This action of the ghost clan forced Daqi to send a large number of monks to protect the military factory in Yuzhang County.

In addition, the imperial court also began to disperse military factories, and established a dozen small military workshops in the rear of the front line, as soon as artillery and muskets were produced, they were immediately transported to the front line.

Although the two sides fought with wits and wanted to end the war quickly.

But the war between the human race and the ghost race is still inevitable.

In the first year, the Ghost Clan lost more than 50 million skeleton soldiers, but did not break through the Yangtze River defense line at all.

The Terrans also lost 300,000 soldiers, and the grain production in the rear was basically on the verge of collapse, because the young and strong were fighting in the front, and there was no time to produce food in the rear, and the lack of young and strong labor force would inevitably reduce production.

In the past, Xu Hao could also travel back to modern times and bring some food crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. But now he doesn't have time to bring this food, and every time he comes over, he brings arms.
