I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On the 25th, Liu Dahan saw Wu Changqing for the second time, but this time it was in Kunshan, in the barracks of the Jiading Army.

In order to increase confidence in Wu Yi and Liu Dahan, Wu Changqing invited Liu Dahan to visit their army training.

Liu Dahan was surprised when he saw the fire gun team walking in unison.

There are also some fire gun teams in the regular army, but it is very rare among the rebels, because the production of fire guns is too difficult and impractical.

However, in Wu Changqing's army, the fire gun army actually accounted for the vast majority.

Moreover, Wu Changqing's fire cannon army is obviously different from the Qing army. It can be seen from the appearance that Wu Changqing's fire cannon has an extra bayonet.

With this bayonet, even if it is approached by the enemy, it can still fight back. Unlike other firearms, they either have to bring another saber or need the protection of friendly forces.

"Look at the rate of fire of my fire gun. How many people do you think the enemy will kill if they rush in front of us."

Wu Changqing ordered the soldiers to carry out a round of shooting practice, and then Liu Dahan saw that these gunners quickly reloaded, fired, reloaded, and fired again.

That speed is much faster than a matchlock gun.

"This fire gun is so powerful, where did you get it?" Liu Dahan asked in surprise.

"It's a new gun from Tessie."

Taixi is the Western Ocean, Western Europe. Now the colonization of Western Europe has been carried out for more than 100 years, and many Western Europeans have appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Some knowledgeable people all know more or less about Tessie.

Wu Changqing made a random excuse, and Liu Dahan had no doubts.

"With such a strong army, our odds of winning are a little better."

Liu Dahan said.

Wu Yi had already decided to cooperate with Wu Changqing's actions, and this time he was sent to agree on the action date.

After some deliberation, the time was set in three days.

Three days later, Wu Yi would lead people to attack Wujiang County, and then Wu Changqing led people to ambush Qing troops on the road between Suzhou and Wujiang County.

In fact, it's not an ambush, because the terrain here can't be ambush at all.

Not to mention the dangerous canyon, there is no way to find even a higher mountain, and there is no way to hide the army. There are quite a lot of rivers, but it is impossible for the army to hide in the water.

It's not a big deal that there is no way to ambush. Anyway, as long as the Qing army is led out of the city, it will be successful. Wu Changqing feels that the Qing army should not understand the power of the Suifa gun.

Therefore, when the two sides meet in the wild, they will definitely rush to fight, rather than flee.

After a period of training, this fire gun army has also practiced some appearances, and it can fight.

The plan has been determined, and the next step is to prepare for the battle.

Fighting is by no means a group of people rushing up to do it, there are many things that need to be prepared before the war. For example, food and grass, ordnance, baggage, and inquiries about intelligence.

In terms of food and grass, Gu Yanwu had prepared enough for ten days of the army, and at the same time organized a transport team of 1,000 people.

In terms of baggage, Gu Yanwu also collected a lot of siege ladders that were more than ten meters long. The city wall of Suzhou City is higher than that of Jiading, more than 6 meters.

Six meters high is like a two-story building, and it doesn't seem to be very high. But if it is full of soldiers holding big knives, boiling oil and gold juice, and holding big stones, the height is very scary.

Wanting to break through the layers of defense and climb up through the ladder is really a life-threatening thing.

Suzhou is not a particularly important military town. For an important city like Nanjing, the city wall has exceeded 12 meters. Even if there is no defense at this height, if you want to climb up, you will be exhausted.

But even in such a strong city, Emperor Hongguang fled without a fight, while other Nanming officials surrendered without a fight. There is no reason for this regime not to perish.

The next day, Wu Changqing personally led the main force of 2,000 people to Songling, which was the only way from Suzhou to Wujiang County.

On Wu Yi's side, after the time was determined, hundreds of large boats also set off from Yushan Island, and then landed in Wujiang County, all the way to Wujiang County.

During this period, Wujiang County was only a small county town, even worse than Jiading.

There is no regular army in Wujiang County, only some patrolling and regiment training.

Knowing that the Taihu Rebels came to attack the city, Liao Cheng, the magistrate of Wujiang, was shocked and lost his mind.

He wanted to run away, but he didn't dare.

If he escapes, his career will basically end here, or he will lose his head.

In desperation, Liao Cheng could only send someone to immediately ask Suzhou for help. At the same time, he arranged for a patrol team to practice defense on the city wall, and spent a lot of money to recruit people to help defend the city wall.

These days, many civilians have no national consciousness, and some people can't even tell whether the county magistrate is a good person or the rebels outside the city are good people.

There are also some people who are about to die. Seeing the generous reward, they don't care who is good or bad, and whoever gives money will help whoever.

Relying on coercion and temptation, Liao Cheng stunned a team of more than 300 people to the city wall.

As for Wu Yi, there are actually only more than 600 people.

Moreover, Wu Yi's side is still seriously lacking in siege equipment, so he can only make some temporarily.

But this is not important, his main purpose is to frighten Liao Cheng and ask Liao Cheng to ask Suzhou for help. As for whether it can win this Wujiang County, it doesn't matter.

However, the appearance still needs to be done, and if it is not realistic, how can Liao Cheng be fooled.

So after making seven or eight ladders,

Wu Yi ordered the siege to begin.

"Steady, don't panic. As long as you keep the county seat, I will be rewarded heavily afterwards."

Liao Cheng shouted at the city wall, he was afraid that these half-hearted soldiers would collapse and flee when they saw the enemy rushing over. This kind of thing is entirely possible.

On the city wall, those regiments were better. After all, they knew that they would go to the battlefield sooner or later when they joined the regiments. And the performance of those patrolling was much worse. If you look carefully, you can see that some people's legs are shaking.

They just want to bully honest and honest people when they are patrolling, how can they have the courage to fight with others.

As for the people who were temporarily recruited, the performance was even worse.

If there were still soldiers watching them, I'm afraid they would have turned and fled now.

Their performance here is bad, and Wu Yi's performance is actually not much better.

Except for the group of core backbones who were not afraid of death, most of the others were timid.

This is not to fight, but to fight, and the two are completely different.

The rebels rushed under the city walls, and no one shot arrows on the walls because there were no archers among them. The ladder leaned against the city wall. Instead of throwing stones, the people on the city wall pushed the ladder hard.

This kind of confusing operation almost made Liao Cheng dizzy on the spot.

"Throw rocks, throw rocks at people." Liao Cheng yelled, and then someone reacted and raised the basketball-sized rock at the rebels.

The Rebels also had no archers and could not suppress the defenders at the head of the city. Watching those people throwing stones, they had no choice but to speed up and climb up.

The advantage of standing on the city wall condescendingly is too great, a few stones are thrown, and the unlucky ones will be hit immediately.

Those who died on the spot were fine, but those who were not injured screamed in pain, which was the worst.

Seeing the tragic state of those people, the morale of the rebels dropped.

"Don't retreat, Dahan, take someone to rush up."

Wu Yi saw that his subordinates had the intention of retreating, and he was almost as angry as Liao Cheng. After only two people died, they thought of retreating, which was really wasteful.

This battle is completely rookie pecking at each other.
