Trenches, this inherent term that almost only appears in modern warfare, appeared in this world unexpectedly and reasonably.
Since the Battle of Luoyang, artillery and rifles have been shining in the world for several years.
Even if you don't know the firing mechanism of artillery and the working principle of artillery, it doesn't mean that people in this world will still mistake this unknown weapon for heavenly punishment.
Even if ordinary people would think so, the smartest civil servants and military generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms would not think so.
Not to mention that the issue of imitation artillery is affected by contemporary industrial capabilities. No matter from which perspective, the response to weapons such as artillery that emerged at this time is not unexpected.
Since the enemy has trenches, the impact of both artillery and rifles on the enemy will be reduced to the greatest extent.
Don't underestimate this little change, it means that in the plain battle, the enemy created a bunker out of thin air. If you want to continue the battle, the two sides will inevitably exchange lives at close range again.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Wang Jianguo.
Therefore, after confirming that the enemy had dug trenches, he chose without hesitation to let Qin Feng order his troops to withdraw westward. Even if he continued to fight, it would be meaningless even if he won. He wanted to preserve his own strength and talk about other things later.
After listening to Wang Jianguo's explanation, although Qin Feng expressed understanding, he was still full of indignation at the wasted death of those 10,000 people.
Obviously, it would be more uncomfortable for him to give up his subordinates like this than to kill him.
However, he had to admit that Wang Jianguo was right. If these ten thousand people failed to respond and fell into a fight with the enemy, what would happen next?
Compassion does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth. This is what it means.
But this didn't stop him from still being angry. His whole body was shaking with anger, and he wished he could bite the enemy general's heart into pieces.
The army slowly moved westward, covering a distance of about two miles.
They were not too worried that the enemy would pursue them from behind. On the one hand, there were those 10,000 people at the rear. Even if they lined up for them to kill, they would still have to kill for a while. On the other hand, there was the man who led the entire army. Since the general knows how to use trenches to deal with his own guns, he should know clearly what leaving the trenches means to them.
In this case, how could they dare to pursue him?
"This battle is too useless. Sooner or later, I will lead my troops to fight back!" Qin Feng said angrily.
"Don't worry, as long as we leave the frontal battlefield to the west, the 150,000 enemy troops will one day walk out of the trenches and return to Zhuozhou. At that time, we will have time to turn around and fight again." Wang Jianguo comforted him.
"I'm just not willing to give in!" Qin Feng looked indignant.
"As I told you, never rely too much on the advantages of your own weapons and equipment. You must know that there are no more fools in this era who can survive to this day." Wang Jianguo said.
Qin Feng nodded.
Just as the two were chatting, a loud shouting of murder instantly filled the world.
The two of them were startled. They heard the voice coming from the front. What happened?
"Report! A large group of enemies suddenly appeared in front of our army. At this time, they have started fighting with my leading troops!"
"Where did the enemy come from?!" Qin Feng said in surprise.
Wang Jianguo squinted his eyes, with an uncertain expression on his face.
"How many enemies are there?" Qin Feng asked.
"Reporting to the general, I don't know." The soldier looked bitter.
The soldier's return made both Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng's expressions change.
"It seems that the other side won't let us simply leave here and face the enemy." Wang Jianguo sighed.
Qin Feng also knew that this was not a good time to wonder where the enemy came from, so he quickly ordered his soldiers to line up to meet the enemy.
The two rode their horses forward and looked at the front of their own military formation. The sight they saw made Qin Feng stunned.
"How did this trench get here?"
That's right, in the direction of the movement of the army, countless enemies had been ambushing here without knowing it. At this time, they were rushing out of the trenches and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Wang Jianguo's side.
Due to the extremely close distance between the two sides, the soldiers at the front had no time to activate their rifles, let alone use grenades?
No one can detect the nearby trenches on the ground, and naturally there is no way to calmly deal with the enemy that suddenly appears in front of them.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle entered a fierce stage, and the most primitive exchange of lives began.
The screams mixed with the shouts of killing went straight into the sky. The enemy's appearance was extremely sudden and did not give Wang Jianguo's army a chance to form their formation. Therefore, within a short period of time, huge casualties occurred in our own formation.
It was as if endless enemies emerged from the ground, causing chaos among our own soldiers. Even Qin Feng, who had experienced battles for a long time, found it difficult to come up with a way to win with one blow at this moment.
Among the enemy troops that have appeared in front of him, Qin Feng has discovered no less than ten powerful enemy generals so far.
These generals were different from the Shu Han generals they had encountered before. They did not rely on disguises to hide their identities. Instead, they appeared on the battlefield in unparalleled arrogance, not caring that they would be beaten by the enemy. Or get killed by a grenade.
But it is obvious that the abilities of these enemy generals should not be weaker than those encountered before.
Their armor reflects different colors under the sunlight. Those may be battle auras, or they may be their unique abilities. However, no matter what it is, it is not what Qin Feng and Wang Jianguo want to see.
At this moment, our own soldiers need to worry about accidentally injuring friendly troops when using grenades and firearms. Apart from throwing them into those trenches from a long distance, there seems to be no way to gain a greater advantage on this battlefield.
The combat capabilities of these enemy generals will greatly affect the direction of this war.
Seeing that the enemies in the rear were still rushing out of the ground, Wang Jianguo's face was as dark as water, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go up."
In the absence of peak combat power, the two main generals Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng seemed to have no choice but to respond to the enemy.
In this no-frills confrontation between the two sides, in addition to competing for their respective combat abilities and courage, the impact of tactics on the situation has been reduced to the greatest extent.
Qin Feng temporarily handed over the command to a captain under his command, and the two of them rode out and rushed towards the front line.
Said to be the front line, in fact, the distance from the Chinese army where the two were located to the battle line between the two sides was only 200 meters.
At such a distance, the trenches dug by the opponent have not yet been discovered. You can imagine how good the enemy's hiding skills are.
On the contact surface where the two sides were fighting, the lines of the two armies were intertwined. The two sides were strangled together. In some places, our own soldiers invaded the enemy's lines, and in other places, the enemy generals led their soldiers deep into our own army's lines.
However, no matter which side erodes the other side's front, they will soon be overwhelmed by the sea of people from the other side.
It's just that because of the existence of the enemy's powerful generals, the speed of submerging the enemy here is much slower than that of the enemy.
Even though the battle between the two sides has just passed, our own front is still in a state of being continuously encroached and compressed by the enemy.
Naturally, there are also generals who try to use a bypass method to send large armies to outflank the opponent.
However, what people can't understand is that no matter how the army moves to both sides, enemies will emerge from the ground elsewhere and engage in the most primitive hand-to-hand combat with our own soldiers.
This causes this front to be stretched longer and longer.
By this time, the length of this front has been stretched to a very exaggerated level.
No matter whether it is the north or the south, no matter how far our soldiers go to get around, they will face enemy troops suddenly jumping out and fighting with our own.
Qin Feng scanned it from left to right, and his voice was slightly cold: "How long did they dig the trench?"
Wang Jianguo pointed to the south and said coldly: "I'm afraid that in order to deal with the artillery in our hands, the other side will dig out an encirclement on the entire ground overnight!"
Following the direction of Wang Jianguo's finger, Qin Feng looked into the distance. Sure enough, although the scene over there was unclear, there were indeed a lot less enemies than before.
"In this case, we don't want to leave here properly, let's fight hard."
The sand eagle suddenly appeared in Wang Jianguo's hands. He knocked his horse's belly with his legs and rushed towards the enemy.
Qin Feng naturally understood why he had to fight so hard. After all, the sooner the war here was resolved, the less likely it would be for his side to be flanked by reinforcements from behind.
Without saying a word, he held a long spear and followed Wang Jianguo.
The two were extremely fast and soon reached the forefront of the battle between the two sides, which had long since become a meat grinding ground.
Everything as far as the eye can see is miserable.
Some soldiers fired grenades before dying, and some soldiers had their hearts pierced but still hugged the enemy tightly, preventing the enemy from easily escaping and creating opportunities for their comrades to kill the enemy.
The combat power of ordinary soldiers on both sides is not far apart, so this exchange is extremely bloody, it is a simple exchange of one life for another.
It is not easy to achieve a one-for-one exchange with the opponent under the leadership of the opponent's extremely powerful general.
This is because of the grenades.
Grenade is just a weapon for throwing. If you really give the enemy some rifles, will they respond with a single hand?
Grenade is different, just pull the string and throw it forward, anyone can do it.
Therefore, in the hearts of our own soldiers, grenades are more important than their own lives and must not fall into the hands of the enemy.
Often when their own lives are hopeless, they will not hesitate to pull off the grenades on their bodies, either to die with the other party, or even if not, they must destroy it to prevent the other party from getting it.
Innocent and heroic!
