I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

With the arrival of the cumbersome building car, the Qing army started the general attack, but at this time the building car had become four, and one had a wheel failure on the way forward.

On the battlefield, anything can happen.

There are four tower cars, each of which can stand 8 people at the same time. As long as it goes well, the Qing army can attack the city wall with as many as 32 people at the same time.

Of course, this is theoretical data.

No matter what equipment the attacking side has, the defending side will always have the advantage.

The Ming army's fire gun troops have been assembled and ready, and a salvo is fired at the top of the building. Immediately, a large number of Qing troops fell from the building.

The remaining few Qing troops jumped to the city wall, and there were long swords and spears waiting. If you are unlucky, you will be directly pierced by jumping on it. If you are lucky, you will not die immediately, but then you will have to face the counterattacks of countless Ming troops.

"Damn, why hasn't the city gate been broken yet, what is Xue Guiren doing?"

Dong Tianbao said, sieging a city is a huge military operation, and it is not only the ants attached to this army, the artillery is still firing at this time, and the archers and the fire gun army are also shooting against the city.

The other unit, led by Xue Guiren, was hitting the city gate, and there were many levels of attack on the entire battlefield.

Dong Tianbao was counting on the troops that hit the city gate to attract the firepower of the Ming army, but Xue Guiren's side did not go well.

It is the common people who fill the moat, and they will not have no fighting skills at all. The section like the city gate actually needs to fill a small slope, so that the car can hit the city wall with the help of potential energy.

The common people did not make such a slope. On a flat road, the impact force of the crash was completely driven by the soldiers, and the impact force generated was far from enough to knock open the city gate.

Moreover, the Ming army on the city wall continued to attack them condescendingly, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers pushing the cart. Xue Guiren in the back was also anxious, but he had no better way.

On Dong Tianbao's side, the soldiers on several building cars finally successfully jumped over the city wall, but the spearmen who had already prepared them stabbed them directly.

After more than a month of training, the movements of these spearmen have been quite neat.

Several spears stabbed in the past, and the Qing army had nowhere to hide, so they could only watch themselves being pierced into blood holes.

"Press the reserves up."

Wu Changqing saw that many Qing troops had already attacked the city wall, and immediately ordered the reserve two hundred flintlock troops to be sent up for reinforcements. Originally, this kind of troops was prepared to prevent the Qing army from attacking from other places, but from the current point of view, the Qing army does not seem to have such plans.

It's not that the Qing army forgot to contain it in other directions, but because the siege equipment in the army is limited, it is more difficult to form power if it is scattered and used.

With the pressure of the Ming army's reserve force, the firepower of the Ming army further increased, the fire gun salvo and another round of grenades, the soldiers under the city finally couldn't bear it and fled backwards.

Before and after, Dong Tianbao's army has lost more than 1,500 people, and has lost 30%.

This discount rate would have collapsed long ago in the field.

In the siege battle, because there was a supervising team behind them, they only managed to collapse until now.

When Dong Tianbao's department collapsed, Xue Guiren broke into the city gate.

Unfortunately, at this time, it is useless to knock it open.

The city was already covered with three rows of flintlock soldiers, and in a salvo, all the soldiers who rushed in front fell down, and no one was spared.

The rest of the soldiers refused to go up no matter how the commander urged them to threaten.

With the complete collapse of the Qing army, Liu Liangzuo in the rear just wanted to kill to vent his anger.

After Dong Tianbao came down, Liu Liangzuo scolded angrily: "Who told you to retreat, you are only one step away, and you are only one step away from taking this city, why do you order to retreat?"

"It's the last to die. It's not that the commander-in-chief ordered to retreat. It's just that our army suffered too many casualties. Of the more than 5,000 troops in our army, only 3,000 retreated, a loss of 30%. The soldiers no longer have the courage to fight again."

Dong Tianbao knelt down on one knee, holding back his breath. He did not agree with what Liu Liangzuo said was just one step away.

He clearly saw that the Ming army on the city still had spare strength, and it was impossible to win it if he continued to attack. Moreover, the morale of his soldiers had dropped to freezing point.

How could this kind of morale still attack the city?

"I didn't want to listen to your explanation, I retreated without authorization, and I pulled it down and beheaded."

Liu Liangzuo said angrily, he was already fascinated by the anger at this moment, and he actually wanted to kill the generals in front of him.

When the other generals and guerrilla generals saw this, they knelt down and pleaded for Dong Tianbao. Their subordinates must unite at this time, otherwise they might be the next one to be beheaded.

"Get off."

Seeing that everyone pleaded for Dong Tianbao together, Liu Liangzuo could only let go of his plan to kill and stand up for himself.

Later, Xue Guiren's troops also retreated. This time, they suffered heavy losses. Although this time they also caused some damage to the Ming army, but compared with their own losses, it is not worth mentioning.

After statistics, they lost more than 1,900 people this time, and also lost a lot of siege equipment.

The next wave of siege will have to wait a few more days.

The loss of the Ming army was not small this time. More than 200 people were killed and more than 500 were injured. Half of them were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

After the war, they also lost half of their troops.

Even more troublesome is that some firearms and flintlocks have been damaged due to long-term use. Damage to other parts can be repaired, but a

Some of the blasted are completely scrapped.

If it is a battle of this intensity every day, then the speed at which they build guns may not keep up with the speed of consumption.

"Rescue the wounded, clean the battlefield, and repair the city walls."

Wu Changqing ordered.

He is now competing with Liu Liangzuo who will collapse first. He can't believe it. Liu Liangzuo's troops will be so elite and they can continue to attack with such heavy losses.

As long as Liu Liangzuo's army completely collapses, he can plan a counterattack out of the city and destroy it.

At the same time, a fleet disguised as a merchant ship on the Taihu Lake approached Wuxi and entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Wuxi City, where it attacked Wuxi.

There were more than 4,000 defenders in Wuxi, and Wu Yi only brought 2,000 people this time, but the Qing army was defeated by the surprise attack.

The Qing army defending the city did not know how many enemy troops there were in the panic. When some rabble people heard that the city had been attacked, the Ming army had already invaded the city and immediately chose to flee.

The Ming army successfully attacked the place where the Qing army stored food, and set fire to it without saying a word.

Wu Yi was also reluctant to take this batch of food, but there was no way, and they didn't have time to transport it away. If they do not quickly complete the task and evacuate, and the Qing army reacts to counterattack, then they will be in trouble.

Compared with the small life, food is not so important.

Hundreds of thousands of catties of grain were burned by the fire, and the entire city of Wuxi was in flames.
