I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Hahaha, the clear dog is back."

"General Wu Shen is mighty, thanks to General Wu Shen's good command."

"What General Wu, the veteran general was martyred, and General Wu is our new general."

The people and soldiers on the city wall were all roaring and shouting excitedly, and several officers even took the opportunity to flatter Wu Changqing. Of course, they really admired it from the bottom of their hearts.

Relying on the magical fire gun brought by Wu Changqing and the command of Wu Changqing, they miraculously killed fifty or sixty Qing troops and repelled the Qing army's attack. This victory far exceeded their expectations and exceeded their expectations.

From their uprising to the present, killing 60 enemies has been their greatest victory.

General Wu?

Wu Changqing was speechless when he heard it. Now Nanming has been in chaos, and the official position has become chaotic. Originally the commander-in-chief was a high-ranking official of the second rank, and there were only twenty or so in the entire Ming Dynasty.

But now, if you pull out any rural brave organization, you can call yourself the general soldier, and the court also recognizes it. If it can kill thousands of Qing troops, the court will not even be stingy with a throne.

Wu Changqing doesn't care about this kind of false name, he only cares about the actual power under his hands.

The subordinates who defended the city were all frightened by the victory, and Wu Changqing was no exception.

Although he has long known that the flintlock gun is very powerful, he knew that this type of gun was not gradually replaced by the rifled and breech gun until the mid-19th century.

However, after seeing the effect of the generation difference of weapons with his own eyes, he felt the huge role of weapons in war. At the same time, he also understood a little bit why Britain and France used 2,000 coalition forces to reach the capital all the way.

If you give him 2000 flintlock troops now, he can run amok too.

However, 2000 flintlock guns cost 100,000 resource points, which would at least occupy half of Jiangsu. Moreover, it is impossible for all resource points to be exchanged for guns, and they also need to be exchanged for cannons, gunpowder and other materials.

For example, now, Wu Changqing spent 100 resource points in exchange for a telescope, and he needed to observe the movements of the enemy.

His biggest problem now is the lack of troops, and the number of flintlock guns is too small. If the Qing army quietly detoured to other directions to attack the city, the danger would still be quite big.

Outside the city, Xue Wu had already led his troops to retreat for thousands of meters. Only then did this group of defeated soldiers sigh in relief, sitting on the ground in dejection, gasping for breath.

When they escaped just now, they were all in awe, for fear of the rebels chasing after them.

"Hmph, I'll make them happy for a while. I don't think that group of pariahs have a lot of guns and troops. As long as we make a surprise detour to the west, we will be able to break through their city in one fell swoop."

Xue Wu had just been defeated, but he was unwilling to admit the fact that he was defeated by a group of people. So, he pretended to talk about the plan, avoiding the embarrassment of just failing.

"My lord is wise, if they had a lot of people, they would have chased them out long ago. If they didn't chase, it just showed that their troops were insufficient."

Several other subordinates were flattering.

Xue Wu was a little embarrassed to hear this kind of flattery, so he quickly pressed his hand and signaled to stop.

After making a plan, Xue Wu marched with the main force and rushed all the way to the west, trying to catch the Ming army by surprise.

It has to be said that Xue Wu's judgment is very accurate, and his military literacy is far better than Wu Changqing.

However, in the face of technological advantages, his talent cannot be exerted.

Based on his own experience, Xue Wu established the marching route that the Ming army could not find. However, Wu Changqing, who even killed him, could not have imagined that he had such a thing as a telescope.

Wu Changqing had been observing the enemy's movements with his binoculars, and seeing most of the enemy's turn to the west, he immediately guessed the other's intentions.

"Wang Dafu, you stay here, and Liu Baihu brought 40 villagers with me to the west wall."

Wu Changqing arranged for his family to stay behind and bring Liu Hansan with him. He was afraid that this Liu Hansan might escape without his own pressure.

"General, why is this?"

Liu Hansan was puzzled.

"I expected Qinggou to be frustrated in the north and would definitely change the direction of the attack."

Wu Changqing didn't lie because he wanted to pretend to be coercive. He was building up his prestige by doing so, and left an impression on his subordinates.

Give your subordinates a strong impression, which can deter subordinates and make them more loyal.

As a person who has read the history of Nanming, Wu Changqing is very clear that the number of generals and soldiers who surrendered to the Qing army in Nanming was a feather in the head.

He didn't want to be sold by his subordinates accidentally.

"My subordinates believe that there is a hill between Qing Gou's location and Ximen, which is not conducive to marching. They should not attack Ximen."

Although the flintlock gun Wu Changqing brought just now gave him a great shock, he was only shocked by the weapon. As for Wu Changqing's military talent, he still does not recognize it.

"No need to say more, you just need to obey."

Wu Changqing said angrily, he thought he had shown his unique ability, and other soldiers obeyed him. But this Liu Hansan is like water in his head, constantly fighting against himself.

He has already decided that after this crisis is over, he will find a reason to withdraw this guy, so as not to be upset.

Wu Changqing was upset, and Liu Hansan was equally upset. He thinks that he has more experience in fighting than Wu Changqing, but Wu Changqing, a young boy, doesn't take his analysis seriously.

Unhappy and unhappy, the first-level official crushed people to death, Liu Hansan could only obey.

The circuitous journey outside Xue Wucheng is longer than that of Wu Changqing.

There were many, so even if he acted first, it was Wu Changqing who reached the west first.

"General Wu."

Li Shaobin just got the news of the messenger, saying that Wu Changqing killed and wounded more than 60 Qing troops in the north, and repelled the Qing army's attack, and he immediately fell in admiration.

This record is already their biggest victory since the uprising. Moreover, this is a case of winning more with less, which is even more rare.

Li Shaobin naturally respects capable people, not to mention that Wu Changqing is the only son of the old chief, so he accepts it with reason.

"I expected that the Qing army would come to attack the west, and specially brought people to support. However, I was worried that the Qing army would be attacked by us, so I decided not to use fire guns at first, and waited until they approached within a hundred paces. Shoot and kill as many enemy troops as possible."

Although Wu Changqing is not a military fan, but he has seen many war movies and novels, he also understands a truth. The most important thing in fighting is to destroy the living force on the opposite side.

Killing more Qing troops can not only weaken the opponent's strength, but more importantly, it can damage the opponent's morale.

Just imagine, if every attack has a 30% chance of death, would the enemy still dare to attack? If the officers still force the soldiers to attack under this kind of battle damage, I am afraid that the soldiers will mutiny immediately.

Liu Hansan couldn't help letting out a cold snort when he heard the words, which made Li Shaobin a little dissatisfied. Liu Hansan's move was really rude.

Li Shaobin glared at Liu Hansan, but Liu Hansan didn't care.

However, it didn't take long for him to be dumbfounded, because he saw the main force of the Qing army outside the city rushing towards.

He was a little ashamed of being slapped in the face by Wu Changqing twice in a row.

After Xue Wu arrived in the west, he just let his men rest for a while, and then immediately ordered 600 soldiers to conduct a general attack.

He wants to attack the city in one go. If he fails again this time, he may not be able to command the next time.

"This side doesn't have that kind of quick-firing fire cannons. Your Excellency is really predictable."

The soldiers rushed within 100 meters of the city wall, and there was no gunshot on the city wall, which made a hundred households overjoyed, and took the opportunity to flatter Xue Wuyi.

Xue Wu smiled lightly, and was naturally very proud of himself.

However, at this moment, more than 80 people with flintlock guns stood up on the city wall of Jiading.

not good.

Seeing those fire guns, Xue Wu was like seeing a ghost, and almost fell off the horse again, very embarrassed.

pia, pia, pia...

Eighty flintlock pistols fired in salvo, and the momentum was quite spectacular.

Especially with the fall of the Qing army row by row, the momentum increased a bit, making the Qing army shudder.

"Don't retreat, keep rushing, the city wall is right in front of you."

Some low-level officers in charge of command shouted that Xue Wu had given a death order, and he must attack at one time without delaying the time to prevent the Ming army in the north from rescue.

Therefore, even if they saw that terrifying fire gun again, they still forced the soldiers to continue to charge.

In their opinion, as long as they rush to the city wall, victory still belongs to them, but the casualties will be greater.

Some Qing troops gritted their teeth and continued to charge, while others had the intention of retreating. That kind of rapid-fire fire gun brought them a great sense of oppression.

pia, pia, pia...

The most terrifying part of the flintlock gun is its rate of fire, which can be shot in ten seconds.

Although part of the Qing army had already rushed under the city wall, the ladders were already leaning against the city wall.

But at this distance, the flintlock gun can already be said to be a hundred hits.

After a salvo, more than 60 Qing troops fell.

That kind of picture is extremely terrifying, and it can cost more than 60 lives. Even if sixty pigs fell together, the scene would be very bloody and horrifying, let alone sixty people.

The Qing army collapsed again.

Although they were already under the city wall, before climbing up the city wall, they had to take another shot. Under such circumstances, the soldiers in front would not dare to continue on, and they all fled backwards.

In fact, if the Qing army is now rushing up regardless of casualties, Wu Changqing and the others can only fire one more shot, and then they will fight hand to hand.

And as long as they enter the hand-to-hand combat stage, they will definitely not be able to beat the Qing army.

But, after all, people are people, they are not mindless machines.

The soldiers who rushed in front knew very well that even if the battle was won, they would definitely not survive. They care more about their own lives than victory.

"No retreat, those who violate the order will be executed."

Some officers scolded, but it was useless, the soldiers were already afraid.

And Xue Wu was not ruthless enough this time, and did not set up a supervising team. A few officers alone could not stop the soldiers from fleeing.

When the Qing army attacked, it was not easy to get close to the city wall, and it was difficult to leave now. The flintlock guns in the hands of Wu Changqing and others never stopped.

After the Qing army withdrew from the firing range of the flintlock guns, the number was less than 400.

In other words, more than 200 people were killed or injured in this round of siege, and the casualty rate reached 40%.

Looking at the soldiers who were crying and shouting as if they were in hell, Xue Wu fell directly from the horse to the ground.

He has lost more than 300 people before and after, which made him explain to Li Chengdong.

"grown ups."

He quickly checked Xue Wu's injury, but Xue Wu ignored the pain in his body and ordered:

"Report immediately to the commander-in-chief, saying that the traitors in Jiading have an unknown number of new-style cannons, which are so powerful that our army can't even get close to the city wall. I hope the commander-in-chief will dispatch more artillery."
