I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Hong Chengchou on the city wall was very helpless. He found that fighting Wu Jun was too embarrassing, because Wu Jun had new tricks every time.

In the war, the experience of the commander is very important, and they all command the battle based on their experience and the military common sense they have learned.

But in the battle with Wu Jun, Hong Chengchou found that he had no previous experience and common sense, and this was the most terrifying thing.

Is the hollow phalanx scary?

Hong Chengchou didn't think that as long as the cavalry did not attack, could the speed of the infantry still be able to catch up with the cavalry?

Are flintlock guns scary?

Hong Chengchou felt that as long as he didn't go to the front and use all kinds of roundabout tactics, the flintlock gun might not be invincible.

Although Wu Jun's weapons and tactics are very powerful, they are by no means invincible. But they can easily win big every time. Hong Chengchou feels that the main reason is that others don't understand Wu Jun.

I don't understand the hollow phalanx, so I sent cavalry to attack.

I don't understand the power of gunpowder, so the city wall was blown up.

I don't understand the mysterious gun in front of me, so so many officers were shot.

All of this was taken advantage of by Wu Jun because of his lack of understanding.

Hong Chengchou felt that it was too difficult to fight against such an opponent, and he never knew what new tricks they would have next, and what kind of precautions they had to take.

What made him even more puzzled was that Wu Changqing had so many new weapons and tactics.

Looking at the generals who shrank their heads and dared not stand up to command, Hong Chengchou felt ashes. Such troops, no matter how high the city walls are given them, it is impossible to defend against them.

Wu Jun had already rushed under the city wall and took the ladder to start climbing.

The height of fifteen meters is really scary.

Any heroic point of the Qing army on the city wall can cause great casualties to the Wu army. However, now even the generals who lead the troops are afraid to hide from the command, and those soldiers are even more afraid, and they are perfunctory when defending.

In addition to the ants attacking the city, the building car also arrived at the city wall, and various long-range suppressing troops were also in place. Wu Jun's entire siege operation was methodical, with a clear division of labor and very high efficiency.

On the other hand, the Qing army on the city wall was like a headless fly at this time.

The Ming, Ming and Qing troops had a high wall of more than ten meters, but Wu Jun, who was attacking the city, felt that it was easier to break through than the outer city wall a few days ago.

It didn't take long for several points to be breached along the entire front, and many Ming troops had already boarded the city wall.

At this moment, Wu Jun also suddenly set off a few big fireworks, which made the Qing army puzzled.

They don't understand, what does it mean to set off a few ineffective fireworks in such a fierce battle, celebrate in advance?

This inexplicable action made Hong Chengchou upset. He knew that Wu Jun must have a purpose in doing this, but he couldn't guess for a while.

Tong Youwei, who was already prepared in the city, saw the fireworks rising to the sky, and immediately asked his family to cooperate with Wu Jun, who had sneaked into the city, to start action.

They suddenly rushed out of a private house near the city gate, and threw grenades at the Qing army behind the gate, who was in charge of guarding and guarding.

They appeared so suddenly that after the Qing army was bombed, they were still in a state of confusion. When did so many Wu troops sneak into the city, how could they fight?

After the second round of grenades, the Wu army in the city was divided into two groups, one wave cleared the remaining Qing army, and then went to open the city gate. The other wave is to pick a good position and prepare to defend the Qing army who will come to support at any time.

Although they were carrying out a sneak attack, this job was actually quite dangerous. If the city gates could not be opened in time to let the Wu army approach, they might not even be able to resist the Qing army for half an hour with their several hundred troops.

Their luck is good, and the command system of the Qing army has been messed up. Even the crucial city gate was lost, and the Qing army did not have time to send troops to defend it.

The city gate opened, and Wu Jun's main force poured in instantly. Without encountering any obstacles, the Wu army poured in extremely fast, and in just half a while, more than a thousand people poured in, and they began to capture the traffic points in the city, and began to attack the city wall from the inside.

In fact, it is not easy to attack the city wall from the inside, and the defenders on the city wall still occupy the geographical advantage.

However, once the wall was attacked from within, the soldiers on the wall were prone to collapse.

This means that the situation has reached an extremely bad point, and there is no way out.

Many soldiers saw that the city wall had begun to be attacked from inside and outside, so they simply surrendered. In this case, it is not possible to not surrender. Continuing to fight may be able to kill the enemy, but it is certain that the city wall will fall, and it will be a question of whether they can survive at that time.

Although Wu Jun always treats prisoners preferentially, if they resist too fiercely and kill too many Wu Jun, maybe Wu Jun will make an exception.

Everyone joins the army for food, not because they like to kill people.

So, once hope was lost, these soldiers began a wave of surrender.

If there is an officer to stop it, and a deterrent to kill the chicken and the monkey, the soldiers will still have concerns about surrendering.

And now, the officers are dead so many that they can't be cared for.

The officers who were still alive wore soldiers' clothing, and their orders seemed to lose their deterrent power because of this, and no one listened to them.

An officer also tried to enforce martial law and wanted to behead a soldier who took the lead in surrendering, but was killed instead.

Distinctive uniforms still have a deterrent effect. Without the uniforms of officers, even soldiers are less afraid of their former officers.

With such a dramatic scene, other officers who were still trying to struggle gave up completely. Anyway, for them, surrender is just a change of allegiance, and the difference is not big.

Seeing the chaos in the city, Hong Chengchou knew that he had lost again, completely and in a mess.

"Governor, nothing can be done, let's find a way to withdraw."

The personal soldiers reminded that there are not too many Wu troops pouring into the city and Wu troops on the city wall, and they still have a chance to escape.

If it is a little later, when more Ming troops pour in, the difficulty for them to retreat will also increase sharply.

"Where to go? The outer city wall is still in the hands of the Ming army."

Hong Chengchou said helplessly, if they want to retreat, they also need to have troops to attack and break through the defense of the outer city wall.

In this chaotic situation, he could no longer find a unit that could still command smooth.

"We can go by water and escape from the river to the river."

Some subordinates continued to persuade that Nanjing City was not completely surrounded by the city walls, and there were some waterways connecting the Yangtze River. From these places, there was a great hope of escaping by boat.

"General, why don't we just surrender. If we run away, what if we escape? We lost 140,000 troops in Nanjing, and we will be charged when we flee back to the north. It's better to surrender to the Wu army. They can even accept Mandahai, there is no reason not to accept us Han people."

There are also subordinates who advocate surrender, after all, their power depends on the troops under them.

What if they left the troops and fled back to the north, and the Qing court could still treat themselves as human beings?
