I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On the Suzhou city tower, the generals couldn't help smiling when they saw the Qing army retreating in embarrassment. The soldiers also couldn't help cheering, and this kind of battle to kill the opponent was very morale.

"The Qing army lost at least nearly 3,000 people in this wave, and nearly 10% of its troops were lost. After a few more times, they will collapse."

Li Shaobin laughed.

"I guess Liu Liangzuo shouldn't be so stupid. I'm worried now that he won't come to attack the city. It's not good for us to be surrounded like this."

Wu Changqing thought far ahead. He had absolute confidence in defending the city, but it was not enough just to defend it. He had to find a way to completely wipe out Liu Liangzuo's troops to be safe.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to defend Suzhou when Li Chengdong or Luck Dehun's troops arrive for the round.

Wu Changqing's words made the other generals think, and they were all pondering how to defeat Liu Liangzuo.

Unfortunately, none of them are military geniuses. With 8,000 troops, they want to take the initiative to attack the nearly 40,000 troops out of the city, and the risk is not ordinary.

Although the Flintlocks were invincible in a head-to-head battle, the enemy was large enough to attack from both the left and right flanks.

A flintlock troop of more than 1,000 people has to defend against three-sided attacks, which is far from enough.

What's more, Liu Liangzuo's army also had a cavalry force of about 1,000 people. Cavalry is useless in siege, but tactically useful in field battles.

"General, shall we go to night raid tonight?"

Liu Hansan said that the success of the last night attack made him a little addicted, and he never forgot about the night attack.

Unfortunately, his suggestion was rejected by Wu Changqing.

The last success was mainly by surprise, and now the Qing army must have learned its lesson, and another night attack may be ambush.

Even if it is not ambushed, it is not easy to attack a large camp of tens of thousands of people at night. The Qing army has a long enough buffer zone and enough reaction time.

Once the night attack failed, it would be difficult for the Ming army to retreat to the city.

Of course, large-scale night raids won't work, and it's okay to send small units to harass them. Throw a grenade in the distance, it doesn't matter if the dead person is bombed or not, it is enough that the other party who can scare does not dare to sleep at ease.

"General, we can send a force to go by water, from the water of Taihu Lake to Wuxi, and attack their grain transport stronghold. As long as their grain and grass are burned, their military morale will definitely be affected."

Dai Zhijun came up with a somewhat reliable idea. Among all the generals, he had systematically learned some tactics.

When the army has not moved, food and grass go first. In ancient times, food and grass are a very important part. Countless wars have been lost because of the destruction of fodder.

"You can try."

Wu Changqing said that it happened that Wu Yi's subordinates were all from the navy, and it should be handy to do this by sneaking around from Taihu Lake.

The news of the Ming army's victory soon spread to the city of Suzhou, and the people naturally cheered when they heard the words, at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the safety of their lives.

When Tang Yu got the news of the victory of the Ming army, his entire face turned gloomy.

He did not expect that Wu Changqing's soldiers were so powerful that they could kill so many Qing troops with such a small loss. Judging from this trend, whether the Qing troops could capture Suzhou would be a question mark.

If the Qing army could not capture Suzhou, there would be no chance for him to seize the soap business.

"These Qing troops are really trash."

Tang Yu sighed with emotion. He couldn't understand how the once mighty Qing army met Wu Changqing and lost all battles.

There are Liu Shizao and others who have the same emotion, but they, like Tang Yu, can only sigh and can't do anything about this situation.

"Miss, General Wu has won the battle again."

As soon as Zihe heard the news, she trotted all the way back to report.

"God bless, Bodhisattva bless."

Chen Yuyan put his hands together.

"I heard from others that General Wu was a god of war, and the Manchu Qing Tatars are definitely not his opponents. You can rest assured, miss. To say that this General Wu is really amazing, not only did he lead troops to fight fiercely, but he also invented this kind of bathing device. Soap..."

Speaking of Wu Changqing, Zi He can chat endlessly.

And at this time, Chen Yuyan felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Because this powerful character is her future husband.

Women in this era, the greatest happiness is not how awesome they are and what achievements they have achieved, but how awesome their husbands are.

Marrying a good husband is basically the highest pursuit of women in this era.

At night, the Ming army in Suzhou city began to move.

Part of it went to harass the rest of the Qing army, and the other part began to dig through those buried moats under the light of torches.

The defensive effect of this moat is still quite large. If the moat is dug through again, it will take time and strength for the Qing army to attack. Moreover, it can also reduce the morale of the enemy army.

However, digging a moat is much more troublesome than filling it. Li Shaobin, who was in charge of digging the river, was very dissatisfied with the progress. He immediately sent people into the city to wake up the people and recruited a group of people to come and help.

Being pulled up in their sleep, those people did not dare to complain.

These soldiers were very grateful for not forcing them to guard the city, but their sleep was disturbed, which is really trivial.

The people of this era are very easy to rule, and most of them are submissive people. can have them a meal

Eating, and having a way to live, they are content.

The moat was dug until dawn, and the troops responsible for harassing the Qing army had already completed their mission and returned to the city.

The next day, when Liu Liangzuo's army came to the outside of Suzhou again, Liu Liangzuo almost died of anger.

The moat that had been filled up was now watery again.

"Despicable, vile."

Liu Liangzuo yelled, and the other generals didn't dare to say a word.

It was obvious that Liu Liangzuo was angry at this time, otherwise he would not have said such stupid words. When it comes to fighting, it is natural to use whatever means is good for you, and there is no such thing as despicable and not despicable.

"General, do you want to go around and grab some people to fill the river?"

Xue Guiren suggested.

Although such an approach will be reviled by the world, it can at least reduce the losses of the army.

"That's...that's all."

Liu Liangzuo was in a tangle, he really wanted to do this, but he was afraid of getting a bad reputation. In the end, reason prevailed over conscience, and he agreed.

Another sergeant, Dong Tianbao, was a little depressed when he heard that Liu Liangzuo agreed to this approach.

He very much disapproved of this kind of careless practice, but unfortunately he was powerless under the roof.

Subsequently, Liu Liangzuo ordered a retreat and temporarily stopped the attack. In addition, troops were dispatched to the surrounding counties and villages to capture civilian husbands as cannon fodder.
