I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Rush over, rush over and their guns will be useless."

The generals of the Ming army shouted, forcing the soldiers to charge forward.

Soon, they arrived in front of the Ming army, because the dense forest was not far from the trail, and some people even rushed down from the hillside on the side of the trail, and the speed was even faster.

Wu Jun's flintlock troops only managed to fire two shots, and then entered the hand-to-hand battle.

The arquebus troops were even worse, and the Ming army arrived in front of them without losing a single soldier.

There was also the Cold Weapons Unit. At this time, the two sides had also been at war. The entire mountain was in chaos, and there were screams and shouts everywhere.

After all, it was a well-planned ambush. The Ming army achieved the effect of a sneak attack, and did not pay too heavy a price for the desire to face each other in advance.

At this time, the battle can only rely on the organization and bravery of the soldiers, and those senior generals lost control of the troops after the contact between the two armies.

In this complex terrain, narrow and long ravine, it is very difficult to give specific orders to the lower-level troops.

After the two sides fought, their respective generals began to check the battle situation in various places through binoculars.

Nearly 30,000 people are crowded in this mountain, and the battle line is several miles long.

Fang Guoan has now also obtained a telescope, no matter how closely Wu Jun guards against it, it is impossible to completely prevent leaks. Under the temptation of huge interests, there will always be people who cannot resist the temptation.

Fortunately, binoculars were extremely scarce resources in the Ming and Qing armies. Only generals who commanded more than 10,000 troops could have one, and other generals could not get one at all.

Among the Wu army, the binoculars have become the goods of the bad street, and the battalion commander who leads more than 300 troops has one man. If it wasn't for worrying about raising the enemy's strength, Wu Jun would want to sell some glasses to his opponents at a high price to earn some military expenses.

Through the telescope, Fang Guoan clearly saw most of the battle situation.

However, at this moment, he actually wished that he hadn't seen it. Out of sight was pure. If he didn't see it, he probably didn't need to be angry.

In the whole battle, there was no big victory he expected.

At the forefront of the battle line, both sides are cold weapons, neither side has any formation, relying on bravery to fight half a catty and a half liang.

This kind of melee puts a lot of pressure on the soldiers on both sides. Neither side dares to advance too aggressively.

Overall, although the fight was still fierce, both sides were able to control the team and did not completely fall into a big melee.

Behind Wu Jun's cold weapons were the arquebus troops. Although they could not fire, they were pressing the Ming army to fight. Fang Guoan was puzzled by this situation.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, because the organization and discipline of both parties are not at the same level.

In the arquebus regiment, the platoon is the unit, and every time the knife is fired, it is neat and consistent, and it is ordered to move forward and backward. The commander did not order to retreat, even if the enemy's sword came, they would not dare to retreat.

This is the result of long-term training, in order to ensure that the army is not in chaos when lining up to be shot.

It was brutal and brutal for a single soldier, but in combat, it was very effective for the entire force.

A neat and consistent attack can overwhelm the enemy in momentum. And in a neat and consistent attack, within a unit area, the number of bayonets they have far exceeds the number of enemy weapons.

This is critical, because this is a battle of tens of thousands of people, and there is not much room for a single soldier to perform any skills.

Its fighting style is very primitive. I stab you, you stab me. Being able to cooperate with a shield and a big sword is already a very well-organized battle.

As for flexible avoidance or something, there is no need to count on it, there are people in front and back, left and right, and there is no room for this to play.

After the Ming army fought twice, they lost about 500 people, and the soldiers suddenly couldn't stand the pressure.

And the casualties on Wu Jun's side are not small, at least 400 people have fallen, and this kind of casualties is also very large for them. However, they didn't panic too much, just a little more tragic and solemn on their faces.

They all knew very well that if they followed the order, they would most likely die, but if they escaped without obeying the order, they would be 100% killed by the supervising team.

Behind them, there was even a reserve force composed of flintlock guns, which did not point the muzzle at the Ming army, but aimed at them. Anyone who tried to escape would be shot immediately.

In fact, few of the contemporary generals can fully understand the reason for Wu Jun's strength. At most, they can only see the superficial phenomenon, that is, Wu Jun's advanced equipment.

But in fact, the organization of Wu's army is also far more than any army of the same period.

It can be said that even if the current Wu army gives up the advantage of equipment and uses cold weapons to fight against the same number of Ming or Qing troops, they will never lose, but the loss will be greater than the use of guns.

Handing over those flintlock guns to the Ming army and letting them form a hollow phalanx would definitely not be able to resist the charge of the Manchu iron cavalry. Because the discipline of their soldiers did not meet that kind of requirements, they would definitely mess up in the face of the charge of the iron cavalry.

Fang Guoan was not clear about these situations, so when he saw that his troops were in retreat, he couldn't understand the reason at all.

On the other end, the Ming army who encountered the Suifa gun was even worse.

They suffered two salvos before hand-to-hand combat, with heavy casualties.

And after the hand-to-hand battle, they found out that Wu Jun's hand-to-hand battle was also outrageously strong. Those people

It's like facing the thorns that are not afraid of death at all, exchanging life for life.

This style of play brought great pressure to the soldiers of the Ming army, and some people couldn't help but flinch.

How can they think that their escape will lead to their own defeat, they only know that if they don't run now, it will be their turn to stab each other, and their lives will be lost here.

Even if he can pull a Wu Jun as a backer before he dies, what's the point of that. Not to mention that the imperial court would not issue pensions for dead soldiers, even if they were distributed to their mother-in-law, the mother-in-law would still remarry and be slept with by others.

When encountering a bad person, the pension brought by the mother-in-law is also cheaper for others.

After all, the most important thing is to survive.

It is not easy to achieve the alignment of individual interests and collective interests.

The Wu army promised the soldiers to divide the fields after the war, and the families of the dead soldiers would be raised, but the interests of the soldiers and the collective were not completely consistent.

After all, life is more important than the field, and only a small number of soldiers will have the idea of ​​self-sacrifice under special circumstances.

For example, the soldier who ignited the signal to report the news, he knew that he would not survive, and he made the act of sacrifice for the collective because he wanted to repay his gratitude.

The heavy casualties led to the rapid collapse of the Ming army.

After someone took the lead in escaping, the generals of the Ming army could not shout. And because it was a sneak attack, they didn't expect to get into a fight, and they didn't prepare to supervise the team.

First, the Ming army in the middle section began to collapse and escape, and then the Ming army in other places was also affected, and the entire front began to rout.

If Wu Jun didn't want to protect the supplies and didn't want to pursue rashly in the chaos, the Ming army would have experienced another fiasco.
