Although Wu Jun's grenades were easy to use, after the battle went on for a while, the problem of their too few troops became prominent.

If a Wu soldier had to deal with two or more Ming troops, he would definitely be overwhelmed.

Some people who were lucky enough to be missed are struggling to climb the ladder, and some are even about to climb the city wall.

If the Ming army is more aggressive at this time, and if they work harder, they may really be able to capture Suzhou.

However, the problem of the low quality of the soldiers of the Ming army at this time was exposed.

Obviously they already had the opportunity to kill the city, but because too many people died under the city wall, some soldiers couldn't bear it when they saw it, and they began to retreat.

It is really not worth it to work for the army salary of less than one tael of silver a month. It is better to go to Nanjing and work as a coolie in a factory. Although it was a bit of a pain, the victory was safety and the salary was high.

A soldier's will to fight has a lot to do with the treatment he usually enjoys.

Otherwise, why would Wu Changqing support the army with high salaries? Wouldn't it be better to use that money for construction?

The fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Ming army was extremely poor, and the damage rate was just over 20%.

"You are not allowed to retreat, those who retreat without authorization will be executed."

The captain of the Ming army supervisor team drew his knife and shouted loudly.

It's a pity that those defeated troops didn't pay attention at all.

Changed to the Qing army, at this time, the supervising team passed by with a single knife.

However, the supervising team of the Ming army hesitated. Too many people were defeated. If they were to kill them, it would be too cruel at night.

He was not so ruthless towards Paoze, and among the retreating people, there were even several officers he knew.

In desperation, the supervising team still did not make a move.

Every place in the Ming army is a little bit worse than other armies. The accumulation of many details has led to the fact that the overall strength of the Ming army is far lower than that of the Wu army and the Qing army's Eight Banners.

The Ming army withdrew, this wave of attack, the more than 1,000 people died in vain.

In traditional siege warfare, in fact, it has to be attacked many times in this way, and it is rare to be able to climb the city wall at one time.

However, doing this before, every attack was effective. Even if you do not climb the city wall, it is meaningful, because it can consume the defending materials of the defenders.

Those defensive materials such as rolling wood, stone, rolling oil, etc. are not cheap, and the quantity is limited, so use a little less. In the end, there is no more, and the siege party will also attack.

But now, Wu Jun mainly relies on grenades to defend the city, and Wu Jun has prepared a lot of this stuff.

Although it is limited, at least the 30,000 people who killed Fang Guoan were more than enough. Therefore, it is meaningless for the Ming army to consume Wu army's defense materials now.

For them, it is the most cost-effective only to rush up in one go. Every time you retreat, you will have to give up another one or two hundred lives on the way to the next attack.

"Prepare for the next wave of attack, and tell the supervising team that the next time they face deserters if they don't do anything, their supervising team will lead the charge."

Fang Guoan put some pressure on the supervising team, and if he wants to survive, he should start with Paoze.

With this rule out, those who supervise the team will probably no longer be soft-hearted.

New troops entered the field, launching a new round of attacks.

Before the charge, their chief told them that this time they had to rush to the city wall, and they were not allowed to retreat without an order, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.

This made the soldiers who were about to attack full of resentment. The people before the co-authorship could retreat if they couldn't fight, and it was their turn to attack the city wall. How could there be such a reason.

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and no one of them dares to jump out to refute and question a few words.

As the Ming army advanced, Wang Lin complained: "These people are here to die. How can they attack Suzhou like this?"

In the new round of attack, the Ming army even lacked some siege equipment, and only had ladders.

Those building cars can bring some trouble to Wu Jun, but now, they only need to defend the climbing of the Ming army, and the difficulty is reduced.

"shooting."

The Ming army entered the firing range, Wang Lin ordered.

After paying the price of more than 100 people, the Ming army reached the city again.

This time they learned their lesson, the soldiers were farther apart and not as close together.

However, this actually did not have much effect, it was nothing more than consuming a few more bombs from Wu Jun.

After a fierce battle, the Ming army with heavy losses retreated again.

The momentum of its defeat, even the supervising team could not control it.

After the supervising team killed dozens of people in a row, those defeated soldiers directly waved their knives at the supervising team and started fighting with the supervising team.

They would rather go to work with the supervising team, at least everyone still uses the same weapon, which is much better than going to the bomb.

The two sides worked together, and Fang Guoan almost vomited blood on the spot.

"Stop it, stop it for me."

Fang Guoan arrived in person and scolded both sides.

Although the battle has temporarily subsided, the two troops have also forged a feud, which is a very bad result.

"General, we can't fight like this. We lack siege vehicles, and ant attacking the city is equivalent to death."

Some of the officers in charge of leading the siege of the city knelt down one after another, begging for mercy and defending themselves.

Fang Guoan was half dead, but he was helpless. As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, if all this is dealt with, he will not

So many officers came to lead the troops.

Seeing that his morale was already unbearable, he could only order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and fight another day.

That night, Fang Guoan sat in the tent worrying.

According to the current trend, it is too difficult to win Suzhou.

If they can't attack Suzhou, and they can't get the weapons workshop in Suzhou, then only death awaits them.

When the main force of Wu Jun came back, they would definitely not be opponents.

As the so-called fear of what comes, Fang Guoan received the latest battle report early the next morning.

"What, so fast?"

Fang Guoan was stunned, this was completely different from what they had expected.

They estimated that even if Wu Jun had fought, the battle would have to be fought for at least a month or two, and the party who won in the end would definitely be severely damaged.

Because the strength of the two sides seems to be similar.

What they never expected was that Wu Jun won a big victory, and won so quickly.

In this way, wouldn't Wu Jun immediately free up his hands to deal with him?

Thinking of this, Fang Guoan almost fell to the ground.

With the current strength, there is no way to fight Wu Jun.

"Is the news true?"

Fang Guoan still had a bit of fantasy and asked a particularly stupid question.

Don't say the news is true, even if it's fake, the spies don't dare to admit it at this time, it's not courting death.

"It's true, the Wu army pursued the Qing army for two days and two nights, and the entire area of ​​Huai'an was full of Manchu troops."

said the detective.

These words completely shattered Fang Guoan's last illusions, and all that was left was fear.

He was someone who had played against Wu Jun and knew how terrifying Wu Jun was.
