I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, five thousand Wu troops boarded the fleet and sailed towards the opposite bank.

The ships in this fleet are very messy, and there is a treasure ship that looks like it is about to be reimbursed, carrying a thousand soldiers on it.

As for other ordinary fighting ships, there are about a hundred soldiers on it.

These battleships are also the main ships of the Wu Army Navy, with a total of 30 ships.

There are also some very flexible boats, usually only about 20 people, and there are more than 20 of these boats.

The rest are some non-standard civilian boats, there are big boats for merchants to transport goods, and there are also small boats for fishermen to catch fish. In short, Wu Jun scoured almost all the ships that could be looted.

Dozens of ships floated on the river, and the Qing army on the opposite side found it immediately.

"Quick, scuttle the boats in the ferry so that their big ships can't get into the ferry dock."

Liu Gaoxun was obviously not a fool. He didn't think about playing the high-tech tactic of half crossing and attacking, but honestly prevented Wu Jun from going ashore. Anyway, his task is to delay the speed of Wu Jun's westward advance. Whether it can kill Wu Jun's soldiers is not the most important thing for him.

As long as it can delay the speed of Wu Jun's westward advance, so that the army behind him has more time to prepare for the decisive battle, his task is considered to be well accomplished.

Under Liu Gaoxun's order, the soldiers on the ship began to destroy the ship, pierced the bottom of the ship, and made it sink in the ferry to form a reef, so that Wu Jun's large ship could not enter the ferry and could not get close to the pier.

The wooden boat was very easy to destroy. With a few axes, a big hole was cut, and the river water poured in, and then the Manchushui Army hurriedly abandoned the boat and ashore.

Under their destruction, a full six or seven large ships began to sink.

On Wu Jun's treasure ship, Wu Yi saw the movements of the Qing army through the telescope, and was instantly half-hearted.

I have to say that this move by the Qing army is ruthless.

"Let the big boat get as close to the shore as possible, and then let the flintlock troops fire and cover the landing of the other small boats."

Wu Yi ordered that the big ships could not dock, but the small boats were not affected.

It is much more difficult for the navy to transmit orders than for the army, and it can only be done through semaphores. However, semaphores can only convey some simple instructions, but not detailed instructions.

For example, Wu Yi can now tell the soldiers on other large ships to cover through the semaphore, but he cannot tell them which section to cover and which ship is responsible for which part.

Without detailed command, everyone can only rely on the judgment of the grassroots generals.

Fortunately, the grassroots generals in the Wu army were required to learn some command skills and learn some judgments about the situation of the battle. Therefore, their overall quality is much higher than that of the grassroots generals of other armies.

Those large ships began to spontaneously organize their formations and choose their respective areas. Although the whole process was not orderly, it did not cause chaos, which was very rare.

As the big ships gradually broke down, the small boats began to sail towards the shore. They had a shallow draft and were able to land in most places.

The soldiers on the big ship had already raised their guns to prevent their own soldiers from being raided when they landed.

As one after another small boats docked, there was a scream of killing immediately from the shore.

Sure enough, the Qing army just wanted to make a sneak attack when the Wu army had no time to disembark.

There is a huge difference in combat effectiveness between those with and without a formation. If the Wu army cannot line up in time, even with the advantage of weapons, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy.

The generals on the big ship are calculating the distance between the two sides, it is a calculation, not an estimate.

Using some similarity principles of triangles, the distance between the two sides can actually be calculated. This calculation method, which was used by soldiers until World War II in later generations, is simple, convenient and effective.

Ye Jinliang, the little prince of mathematics in the university, is very talented in mathematics. Based on some formulas and axioms provided by Wu Changqing, he has deduced a large number of theorems and demonstrated many formulas.

In the process, he also discovered some useful measurement techniques.

Using the similarity of triangles to measure distance is one of them. He taught it to the teachers in the military academy and trained some technical arms.

These technical arms are very valuable, and sometimes they can have some miraculous effects.

Through calculation, the general on the ship judged that the enemy had entered the range, so he ordered to fire.

The fire support of thousands of people immediately caused some damage to the Qing army.

However, because of the long distance, Wu Jun's hit rate was not high, so their losses were not large, and they continued to charge.

Soon, they rushed not far from Wu Jun.

At this time, the soldiers on the big ship were also unable to shoot for cover. Given the distance between the Qing army and the Wu army, it was impossible to guarantee who was shooting at this time.

On the shore, Wu Jun formed a formation in platoons, but there was no time to form a company-level formation between platoons, and there was no time.

The two armies faced each other, stabbing with bayonets and stabbing at random. This kind of chaos without a formation was actually more tragic and casualties than those with a formation.

In a confrontation, both sides lost more than 10% of their manpower, which was very terrifying.

If this continues, everyone will be dead within ten rounds.

Of course, this can't happen, because one side will always crash first.

After the first round of confrontation, the two sides were separated by a distance of one or two meters, and they hesitated and dared not go forward. The soldiers on both sides could see each other's eyes.

Most of the soldiers' eyes were filled with fear and tension.

They were all on the brink of this death, unable to keep their composure.

In order to charge, the Qing army did not bring a shield. At this time, Wu Jun did not collapse, and could only fight with his life. While hacking and slashing opponents, one or several holes will also be pierced by oneself 100%.

This kind of battle is a test of the morale and blood of the soldiers.

"Kill, prepare, stab forward."

The generals of Wu Jun shouted the slogan during training, and once such a slogan is shouted, it means that no matter what danger lies ahead, the knife must be used.

Anyone who dares not to be in line with the group, fails to take out the knife or is slow to take out the knife, will be punished.

This kind of rigorous training has cultivated an elite.

With an order at this time, Wu Jun took the initiative to stab at it with a bayonet, and the Qing army naturally would not stand and be beaten, and they fought back one after another, and it was another wave of life-for-life.

In this kind of thorn, in fact, Wu Jun can't take much advantage. However, their aura is terrifying.

Often after one or two fights, the enemy can't stand it and is unwilling to fight this group of lunatic who have no feelings.

After just two stabs, some of the Qing army's defense lines collapsed.

Although there were more Qing troops overall, the two sides were evenly matched.

In such a situation of evenly matched forces, Wu Jun's soldiers continued to go ashore, constantly making up for the gap in strength between the two sides.
