I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Guangde, Caojiawan, here is a hilly terrain, there is no official road, only some small roads, which greatly affects the advance speed of the Wu army.

Like the red-clothed cannons in the Wu army, it is very difficult to march in this kind of place.

On this day, it also rained lightly on Guangde's side, and the original sheep intestine trail became muddy, making it even more difficult to move forward.

Those two or three thousand catties of cannons were stuck in the mud, and the horses and donkeys could not pull them, and they had to rely on soldiers to push them behind. Not only were the horses frothing from exhaustion, but the soldiers were also exhausted to the point of death.

"Fuck, I knew I wouldn't bring these broken cannons."

Liu Hansan scolded him. Before he set off, he did not expect that the terrain here would be so difficult to walk, let alone that it would rain.

The original siege weapon has become a burden at this moment.

At the end of the day, the army has not yet reached the ten-mile road, which can be described as turtle speed. At this rate, when they arrive in Guangde, there will not be much food left, and logistics will become a big problem.

And because of the slow speed, they didn't reach the scheduled location in Taozhou Town. They didn't even have a place to stay, so they could only camp in the mountains.

Soldiers in the rain did not order ginger soup to warm their bodies, and many soldiers with poor physique already had signs of colds. In this era, there is no cure for a cold, and the body can only fight it hard.

The next day, Liu Hansan ordered the army to move on.

If the conditions are difficult, it can only be overcome by perseverance. Besides, Liu Hansan has no better way.

Compared with the armies of other forces, the soldiers in their army are still happy, just a little rain. Some of the defeated troops, let alone the rain and myrrh, were wounded soldiers without any medicine, so they could only watch them die.

Because Wu Jun often won battles, there has never been such a tragedy.

"General, I think it's better to let the army rest for a while and wait for the scouts to return before advancing. The terrain here is easy to be ambushed."

When the army walked to Nanshan, Tao Dongcheng learned that the scout did not return on time, and hurriedly came to Liu Hansan and suggested.

There are dense forests on both sides here, suitable for hiding. And this is not a plain area, there is no wide terrain, they can't set up a formation. If attacked, the problem is still very serious.

What's more, because of the light rain, the arquebus team was basically useless, and they couldn't shoot on a rainy day.

"Maybe it's just that the road is not good enough to delay the time. Fang Guoan has already become a bird in shock. How can he have the courage to attack. If we don't speed up, we won't be able to reach Taoshan Town before dark."

Liu Hansan was a little disapproving, and his consecutive victories had made him a little swollen.

As everyone knows, in front of the Wu army, an army of nearly 10,000 people has already been ambushed, and it is Fang Guoan's army.

Fang Guoan had indeed become a frightened bird, unable to sleep at night after the defeat.

However, even if he became a frightened bird, he was still a frightened bird of prey and had a certain strength to fight back.

Fang Guoan felt that in front of Wu Jun's firearms and cannons, a Guangde county could not be defended at all.

Instead of sticking to Guangde, it is better to set up an ambush in this mountainous area.

And God also helped him, and it rained lightly in the past two days, which crippled the arquebus and grenadiers of the Wu army by 50%.

In addition, the terrain is not convenient for Wu Jun to set up the formation, and there are factors of sneak attack, Fang Guoan feels that his odds of winning can reach at least 70%, and this winning rate is worth his risk.

So, he led people to wait here, ready to fight to the death.

If he wins, he can defend Guangde Huzhou, but if he loses, he can only flee back to Shaoxing in despair.

"General, the enemy has entered our trap, are you attacking?"

"Wait first, wait until their baggage also enters the trap before acting."

Fang Guoan said that if he just killed Wu Jun, it would be of little significance. Wu Jun could recover as long as he rested for a while.

What he wanted was the baggage of the Wu army, and plundered the cannons and guns of the Wu army as much as possible, so as to make the Wu army unable to advance eastward.

He knew that those flintlock guns and cannons, Wu Jun's manufacturing speed was also very slow. Taking this batch of supplies, Wu Jun will also hurt some vitality.

And he can use this period of time to regain his strength, while cracking the secrets of flintlock guns and grenades.

They have also been researching these two things, and there has been some progress. If they can grab some guns and grenades for analysis, their research progress can be greatly improved.

After waiting patiently for a while, Wu Jun's troops transporting artillery also entered their ambush.

Subsequently, Fang Guoan ordered a full-scale attack.

Immediately, there was a sound of killing in the mountains and forests. In the dense forest, a large number of Ming army soldiers poured out from behind the hillside, waving big swords and spears and rushing towards the Wu army.

"Fuck, there's really an ambush."

Liu Hansan was so angry that he was half dead.

"Calm down and don't panic, form a lineup and gather together."

Tao Dongcheng hurriedly shouted, although there are many of them, but when they encounter a sneak attack, the soldiers will inevitably panic in their hearts, and the outcome is hard to say. Once the soldiers run in a panic, the entire team can easily fall into chaos.

Wu Jun's officers hurriedly issued various orders. At this time, the confidence they had accumulated over a long period of victories came into play.

If it is an army that often loses battles, when it is attacked, the soldiers and generals will panic and try to escape to survive, which will lead to a rout.

However, Wu Jun has always been winning battles, and both soldiers and generals have strong confidence in their own side.

Even if they were sneak attacked, they could still fight back calmly.

As long as you survive the first wave of panic after being attacked, you won't have much disadvantage in the future.

With the orders issued one after another, Wu Jun soldiers acted one after another.

The flintlock soldiers were the calmest, even in the light rain, but their guns could still fire, as long as they were careful not to get the gunpowder-loaded fixed bullets into the rain.

Of course, the rate of fire will definitely be greatly reduced, which is also impossible.

Archers are also fine, they can shoot arrows in rainy days, but this will make the bow and arrow damp and affect the service life of the bow and arrow. However, compared with human life, the service life of bows and arrows is naturally unimportant.

Anyway, Wu Jun's archer officers ordered soldiers to draw bows and shoot arrows one after another, ignoring the wear and tear of bows and arrows.

And the arquebus is completely dead. Their guns can't be used at all in rainy days, so no soldiers go to reload, they all go straight to the bayonet, ready for hand-to-hand combat.

What's worse is the grenadiers. At this time, their grenades are still exposed to the ignition method, and they can't be used in rainy days. In order to carry more grenades, grenadiers are often not equipped with other weapons.

At this time, the grenade had no effect, and they really could only stare blankly and shrink behind the other troops.

"Pia."

With the gunshots, the battle was officially announced, and the Ming army was the first to suffer casualties.

This made the generals and soldiers of the Ming army very depressed. It was obvious that they were the sneak attackers. As a result, after the battle began, they suffered casualties first. This kind of sneak attack is too embarrassing.
