Liu Zheng defied all opinions and insisted on defending Qinghe Town. This time, even Xiao Qian did not particularly support him.
It's so tragic.
At this time, their army has entered a vicious cycle. Even though reinforcements are constantly coming from all over the Li Dynasty, the quality of the troops is getting worse and worse. Some of the reinforcements have never even been on the battlefield. .
How to fight this?
Mix it up and fight.
then.
Not to mention the losses Li Chao suffered in every battle.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese general offensive began.
What is a general offensive? Some people say that the previous attack was not a general attack. It cost one hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands. Of course not. In the first half month, they mostly attacked some fortifications in Qinghe Town and those regular troops. Clean up, wait until they feel that they can attack in general, and then launch a final fierce attack on this side.
This time.
Mizuno Masashige personally led an army of 200,000 people and launched a fierce attack. In the first round, he beat the Li Dynasty's 100,000-strong army into a panic.
Xiao Qian is still directing the battle.
The war drums have not stopped since morning.
For this battle, Liu Zheng has prepared too much. Of course, more of them are based on local materials. Lime, when it started to rain, also played a great role. Forget about oil, it is estimated that the entire North Korea does not have it. ....Originally, the musketeers on Long Yan's side could still act as a deterrent, but in the battle where Li Zhenzhu made a mistake, almost all of them were lost.
However, lime can be used as a surprise weapon, so it is okay to use it once in a while.
Moreover, in such large-scale operations, the role of lime is still greatly reduced.
soon.
The Li Dynasty's shortcomings of inferior weapons and equipment and low combat literacy of its personnel were still too serious.
Too bad.
Too bad.
If all of them were wearing the plate armor of the Liangzhou Army, they would not die in one round. The plate armor of the Liangzhou Army could even withstand the musketeers for which the Japanese nation was famous at a long distance. If they could have Liangzhou Army's plate armor, The state army's fine steel weapons wouldn't be so miserable... On the battlefield, these things are too important.
fine.
Facing the Japanese army, the few red cannons brought by Liangzhou still played a great role at this time.
"fire!"
"fire!"
The improved Hongyi cannon has a short range, and if it falls into the Japanese army, it can always take away many of their soldiers.
"Boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
With the blessing of artillery and the defense line built with flesh and blood by the soldiers of the Li Dynasty, it can only be said that it can withstand the Japanese general attack.
Tragic.
Still tragic.
Wave after wave of soldiers of the Li Dynasty, knowing that they would die, still used their lives to stop these Japanese troops. Knowing that they would die, they still did not want to give up Qinghe Town to others! Knowing that they would die, they were willing to die! In the end, Just as Liu Zheng predicted, in the end, the Li Dynasty soldiers almost used their own corpses to pile up a hill to block the Japanese army's advance!
Liu Zheng watched all this quietly.
In fact, there was already a storm in his heart, and he could not calm down for a long time.
The battlefield is like fire, the true nature of a man.
At this time, it was most vividly demonstrated.
"Shilang Liu, we really can't do this anymore..."
"Shilang Liu!"
"Withdraw your troops!"
On this day, Li Chao still withstood the Japanese army's general attack.
However, the Li Dynasty's battle losses set a new record.
fifty thousand!
Fifty thousand people died in one day!
The injured are countless.
A group of generals had already begun to cry bitterly.
They can't bear so many people.
Liu Zheng shook his head decisively: "Continue to hold on."
