It is just a shoot out until one side conquers the other. You cant get out of your trench to fight them or you will just get shot down.

It was hard because they were entrenched in their position, and when not moving forward they are on the defensive. Much of the trench warfare resulted in a deadlock, because of the difficulty of gaining ground. It was difficult because of the no-man's-land in between the enemy trenches covered with barbed wire, and the machine guns that could totally annihilate an entire charge.
