I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 327 Night Attack on Chuzhou

Several liaisons returned to Chuzhou early the next morning to inform Zhao Zhiyuan of the headquarters' plan.

They acted separately, and as long as one person entered the city, they could ensure that the order was conveyed to Zhao Zhiyuan.

The Wu army's large troops disrupted their work and rest, continued to sleep during the day, and cultivated their spirits.

In the evening, everyone was woken up and had another meal. Then prepare a large number of torches and start a rapid march towards Chuzhou.

At this time, the spies of the Qing army had already retreated to rest and did not notice their movements.

After only walking seven or eight miles, the sky turned completely dark. Wu Jun lit the torches and started a difficult night march.

From the camp to Chuzhou, the road is not all flat and official roads. There are several places to climb a few hillsides and cross two small rivers.

It is not difficult for a single person to walk this road at night, but when an army comes, there will be many unexpected troubles.

Not to mention other serious situations, even if one soldier accidentally fell, he would have to trip over several behind him.

In a more serious situation, the person in front may even suddenly take the wrong way, and then lead a large area behind.

Although there will not be a dead person, delaying the plan is more serious than the dead person's consequences.

Relying on his strong organization, Wu Jun barely had any major problems.

All the way to Chuzhou, everyone was exhausted.

After resting for a while, they came to the bottom of the city and lit special flares.

The signal bomb exploded, and the sound woke up a few Qing troops who were defending the city, but more people were still asleep.

"What's that, fireworks?"

The two soldiers of the Qing army discussed a few words, and then they didn't take it to heart. They are just two ordinary soldiers with limited military knowledge, and they don't know the trendy things like signal flares.

In the city, Zhao Zhiyuan's company, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out of a room and went straight to the city gate.

They divided their troops into two groups, and fought all the way to the city wall to seize the place where the drawbridge was controlled. Their task was to lower the drawbridge.

The other way is to attack the city gate and open the city gate.

At Chengkou, there were not many people left behind by the Qing army, only seven or eight.

They had just been woken up by Wu Jun's hurried footsteps, and the big knife slashed on them.

Those who were not hacked to death screamed and woke up more Qing soldiers.

This is also impossible, but it has been harmless.

They seized control of the city gates and immediately began to open the city gates.

The actions of the other route went well, because the Qing army was too vigilant, and they did not expect the Wu army to attack at night. After all, night attack was too difficult.

A large number of the Qing troops who were still sleeping did not know anything, so their necks were wiped, and they died peacefully.

Some of the soldiers who were awakened started shouting and shouting for other comrades in arms.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

People who have just woken up from their sleep can't figure out what's going on, let alone expect them to quickly organize a resistance.

The resistance of a single soldier could not last a few seconds at all.

The city gates were opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Wu troops from outside the city began to pour into the city.

The Qing army had few defenders on the city wall and was quickly cleared.

"Immediately take down the city gates in other directions, I want none of the enemies to escape."

Lu Guangzu ordered.

Afterwards, they divided their troops into three groups, all the way to capture other city gates, all the way to lead the large army to the barracks, and the other to take some elites straight to the residence of the defending general Achuhun.

"Follow me."

Zhao Zhiyuan shouted that during the day they had figured out the location of the Qing army barracks, and at this time they could go straight to Huanglong.

The movements of thousands of soldiers and horses made a very loud noise, and people were awakened wherever they went.

Achuhun also quickly received the news, and then quickly put on the armor. While wearing the armor, he inquired about the specific situation in the city.

Knowing that it was Wu Jun's night attack, he yelled angrily, "Traitor, which traitor betrayed me?"

He also thought that there were internal traitors who brought Wu Jun into the city.

If there is no inner ghost, how could Wu Jun come here so easily.

"General, let's escape, this city can't be defended anymore."

The personal soldiers suggested that they were not Wu Jun, and their resistance to night raids was extremely poor.

Hearing the words, Achuhun hesitated. At this time, he took some personal soldiers and fled quietly, and the chance of surviving was still relatively high. However, if you want to bring the army out, the difficulty directly increases tenfold.

But if you can't take the army out and run away alone, you will be punished when you return to the court.

A regular army of tens of thousands of people is worth more than a hundred thousand taels of silver.

If you want to retrain a unit with the same combat effectiveness, it will cost at least 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver.

Therefore, unless it was a last resort, Achuhun didn't want to leave the troops behind, especially those Manchu soldiers of the Eight Banners. If these people are not taken out, their clansmen will definitely hate him.

"Go to the military camp first and see if you can evacuate some people."

In the end, Achuhun chose a compromise plan, try it first, and if the situation is not right, then find a chance to escape.

As soon as they left the house, they ran into a group of Wu soldiers.

The two sides didn't say a word, and they went straight to work.

Achuhun is surrounded by relatives

Soldiers, their bravery is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, when the two sides fought, Wu Jun's team soon fell into a disadvantage.

Achuhun didn't fight with them either, and retreated in the direction of the military camp.

At this time, the Qing army's barracks had fallen into chaos.

In fact, before Wu Jun arrived, they were already awakened.

However, they have not been effectively organized for a long time, some are in a daze, and some are panicked.

After delaying the best reaction time, Wu Jun who rushed in was beaten up.

While violently beating, while destroying, creating chaos.

It is too troublesome to capture prisoners at night, so Wu Jun didn't think about it, and attacked in the most brutal way.

Every room, every tent, they threw a few grenades into it.

Those Qing soldiers who did not have time to come out were directly bombed so that they could not find the south, east, north and west.

The Qing soldiers who had left the barracks also tried to resist, but the Wu army charged, and they were defeated.

At this critical moment, the Qing army did not have any senior generals to stand up to suppress the situation.

Only some lower-ranking officers were commanding intuitively, with some sporadic resistance.

As soon as Wu Jun's large army rushed over, they couldn't stop it.

In dealing with night attacks, their performance was several levels worse than Wu Jun.

The collapsed Qing soldiers just wanted to run away, and didn't know how to resist.

Wu Jun rushed in all the way, and he didn't even need to set fire to create chaos, because the Qing army was already chaotic and couldn't be more chaotic.
