I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Look clearly, hear clearly?"

Wu Changqing asked, some soldiers who listened carefully and understood the lecture were already eager to try it, while those who didn't understand were beginning to be afraid.

The General gave a demonstration in person, and he actually dared not listen carefully. He really deserved to die.

"Divided into two batches, and practiced in turn."

Wu Changqing ordered, and then two hundred people were divided into two teams. Those soldiers with more confidence formed the first team, picked up rifled guns, started loading, and then aimed and fired.

Wu Changqing's level of playing guns can only be regarded as medium, and he has no particularly powerful talents.

And these marksmen selected from tens of thousands of people, their talent in shooting is much stronger than Wu Changqing. Some even hit the target for the first time.

And Wu Changqing practiced dozens of guns before in order to not be ashamed when he demonstrated.

Fortunately, the soldiers didn't know about this kind of thing, otherwise his stalwart image of God of War would be shattered.

"Continue to practice. Tomorrow, those who can hit the red heart at this distance will double their military pay. If they can hit the red heart at a distance of 500 paces, the military pay will be increased five times. For those who fail to hit, go back and continue. With a flintlock."

Wu Changqing only needs to offer a small reward, and those soldiers can flush with excitement.

The military pay is doubled, doesn't that directly exceed the military pay of the corporal?

Those who use flintlock guns are already paid more than soldiers with cold weapons. If this is doubled, they will all be able to become the middle class of this era.

What's more, there is a five-fold reward tempting them.

For the doubled military pay, they showed extremely focused expressions one by one.

Those soldiers who have not yet had their turn to practice are constantly holding back their restless hearts, carefully observing other people's operations, and at the same time judging and analyzing the other party's technical problems based on the results.

Originally, the soldiers in the First Division were relatively smart people, and these people were selected from the tens of thousands of people in the First Division.

Their learning ability is actually not much worse than that of some champions in the high school entrance examinations of later generations. They are poor, just some knowledge.

After Wu Changqing left, these soldiers also became active.

"I know what this gun does. It's used to shoot enemy officers. If this is done right, killing them one general at a time will make a profit."

Soldier Yan Chonglou said excitedly, in his opinion, that little bit of doubled military pay can simply be ignored. As long as he masters the ability of long-distance precision shooting and kills a senior officer of the enemy army, it will be a great credit.

Fighting a few more battles, relying on the credit of shooting and killing officers is enough to promote them into hundreds of thousands of households, and the reward of silver is definitely indispensable.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it. No wonder the general came to teach us personally, it turns out that this kind of gun is very useful."

Several other soldiers suddenly realized.

In fact, everyone knows the importance of shooting the coach, but it is too difficult to operate.

The so-called expert archer, 100-step piercing Yang is all boasting, the stability of the bow and arrow is too poor, maybe once or twice can 100-step piercing Yang, but there is absolutely no one who dares to say that their success rate in 100-step piercing Yang can exceed 30%.

So shooting an enemy general has always depended on luck, and the success rate is so low that many times the army is not interested in doing it.

And now, the range of this new fire gun is as high as a thousand steps, and the accuracy is extremely high. This kind of weapon is simply a weapon specially used to shoot and kill officers.

"This fire gun is very important. We will become the key to conquering the old capital. We must practice hard and not let the general down."

Yan Chonglou said with emotion.

This truth, other soldiers may not understand. But this is not important, just for the doubled military pay, no one will be lazy.

After Wu Changqing explained about the rifled gun, he came to the tent and heard about the battle damage.

In this attack on the outer city wall, they used a total of 40,000 troops, of which more than 3,400 were killed and more than 600 were seriously injured. There are no statistics on the minor injuries. In such a fierce battle, the minor injuries still have to go into battle.

In terms of siege equipment, five buildings were lost, and there were seven remaining. All other equipment were damaged to varying degrees, but the impact was not particularly large.

In terms of results, they killed about 5,000 enemy troops and captured 3,000. He even captured another big fish, the grandson of Nurhaci, Aixinjue Luomandahai, whose title is Gushan shellfish, one rank lower than the prince.

According to the estimates of the statistician, the loss of the Qing army and the missing soldiers this time was close to 10,000.

The side defending the city lost more than the side attacking the city, which is also a rare situation.

The Ming army was able to achieve such a great victory for many reasons.

These included the low morale and lack of fighting spirit of the Qing army. However, what is more important is the strange weapons and strange moves of the Ming army.

The suppression of the musket alone greatly weakened the Qing army's advantage in defending the city. The artillery destroying the city wall is the suppression of the weapon, and the explosives blowing up the city wall is even more unexpected.

A lot of accidents came together, and the Qing army was actually not unjustly defeated.

If other armies encounter these situations, they may not be able to do better than them.

"Fortunately, everyone, the fight was not bad this time, and I will make persistent efforts in the future."

Wu Changqing was in a good mood, the casualties were smaller than originally estimated, and the 5% casualty rate was entirely possible.

to accept.

As long as there are not too many soldiers killed or wounded at one time, the impact on morale is not great.

As long as the soldiers are replenished in time, the casualty rate can be maintained at a low level.

"The general is the one who works the hardest, and we are all just a little bit of work."

Xue Guiren said that now he is also qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting.

Whenever he gets a chance, he flatters.

Seeing that Xue Guiren was so shameless, everyone scolded him half to death in their hearts.

"The person in charge of the vigil tonight is fortunate, don't slack off. Tomorrow I will take you to see some good things, which will be of great help to the siege. I will make a reservation for this Nanjing city. In a few days, everyone can go to the Qinhuai River. Rest and rest."

Wu Changqing made a joke, and everyone laughed when they heard the words.

The Qinhuai River in Nanjing is a famous place. As long as a man with some money comes to Nanjing, it is impossible not to go to the Qinhuai River for a stroll.

Only a few people who are obsessed with 'good things' will focus on the good things, such as Li Shaobin, who starts to look forward to the good things tomorrow.

Every time Wu Changqing brings out good things, it can greatly help the war. Such as flintlock guns, grenades, binoculars. If it wasn't for these good things, they wouldn't be where they are today.
