I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Forget it, he is indeed injured, let him go down."

A man in charge of supervising the battle said.

Of course, it wasn't that he found it kindly.

It was because he knew this soldier and had a little friendship.

With the commander speaking, the soldier was able to withdraw from the line of fire.

And there are many artillerymen who want to withdraw like him, but unfortunately they can't even find an excuse.

In order to get out, you have to be injured, and the injury has to be just right.

Neither lethal, but also lost the combat effectiveness.

The fighting continued, and the Qing army's artillery shells also caused some damage to the Chinese army.

But that was all. With the third round of artillery fire from the Chinese artillery, the Qing artillery collapsed.

No matter how the supervising team slashed and killed, they were unwilling to return to the gun position.

So far, the Qing army artillery has been solved.

After the artillery was resolved, the Hua army continued to fire artillery shells at the city wall, trying to kill the enemy.

However, the infantry on the wall did not need to be exposed like the artillery, they all hid under cover.

The Qing army installed a large number of thick wooden boards on the city walls, and soldiers could hide under the wooden boards.

Unless the shell hits it directly, it can kill it.

Those scattered shrapnel, but because of insufficient kinetic energy, could not penetrate those thick wooden boards.

The greatest power of the howitzer is the shrapnel that explodes.

After the Qing army carried out targeted defense, the casualty rate was greatly reduced.

They have also been studying the skills to fight against the Chinese army.

At this time, the Chinese Air Force was dispatched.

This defense method of the Qing army could not stop the air bombs of the Air Force, because the air bombs were very large, and the explosive power was far greater than that of artillery shells.

Seeing the Chinese army's hydrogen balloon coming, Ah Shan ordered the soldiers on the city wall to withdraw some of them first.

As for what to do if the Hua army under the city took the opportunity to attack at this time, he did not think about it.

He had to remove the people, or he would be bombed by the Air Force like this, and he would lose without fighting this battle.

Just when Ah Shan had a headache, an accident happened to Hua Jun's Air Force.

For some unknown reason, the two hydrogen balloons suddenly fell off and fell to the ground.

If you fall from a height of tens of meters, the person in the hanging basket will definitely not survive.

Other hydrogen balloons, less controlled, drifted in all directions.

Tang Guozhen was stunned when he saw this scene from the rear. He didn't know what happened to the Air Force.

Not to mention him, the Air Force itself didn't know what was going on at this time. They only knew that some power machines suddenly failed, and they couldn't control the hydrogen balloon.

Is it because of the failure of the machine itself, or because of the weather causing the machine to fail, or something else?

When it's time to ask experts from the university to study it, they don't understand it now.

The soldiers of the hydrogen balloon can only continue to control the hydrogen balloon by relying on experience and intuition.

A few have succeeded, and others have failed.

Some people started an emergency landing, and their lives were even a little more important than the victory of the battle.

After all, the cultivation of the Air Force is not easy, nor is the manufacture of these hydrogen balloons.

There are provisions in their combat regulations that in the event of a balloon failure, priority is given to ensuring the lives and equipment of soldiers. As for the original task, you can give up at any time.

This is a privilege enjoyed by the Air Force, and some soldiers are using this privilege at this time.

"Hahaha, God really helped me."

Seeing this, Ah Shan laughed.

This situation is a booster for them, too encouraging.

On the other hand, Tang Guozhen naturally did not have a good face.

The Air Force had an accident, something he never expected, which greatly disrupted his plans.

But there is no way, without the help of the Air Force, the battle still needs to continue.

Only a few hydrogen balloons managed to reach the top of the Qing army, and then they hurriedly threw the bombs and retreated.

Although the number was small, it still caused a lot of casualties to the Qing army.

After the bombardment, the Chinese army began to siege the city.

The Qing army came out one after another from under the plank and began to fight back against the Chinese army, mainly throwing grenades.

When the hand grenade appeared as a defensive weapon, those things such as rock, log, and oil were quickly eliminated.

Compared with grenades, the killing efficiency of those things is really too low, but it is also inconvenient to use.

"Get out first."

The commander of the Chinese army ordered.

If the enemy has grenades, there will be heavy casualties, so it is better to withdraw first.

This is their plan. If the enemy's counterattack is not strong, then take the opportunity to attack.

If the enemy still has the strength to resist, it will become a feint and retreat first.

If you attack hard, it is easy to kill and hurt too much, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The Hua army retreated, and the Qing army could only stare blankly.

They dare not open the city gate to chase, otherwise they will be 100% killed.

But if they don't chase, they can only shoot with a small number of guns in their hands, and the damage caused is limited.

And just like that, the Huajun's flintlock troops also counterattacked and suppressed them.

In short, when the Chinese army began to withdraw

When retreating, Ah Shan discovered that it would be better for the enemy to retreat than to launch a fierce attack.

The Chinese army attacked, and they could at least cause some damage to the Chinese army.

However, now that the Chinese army is retreating, they have nothing to do with the Chinese army.

Although the city has been defended, it does not make any sense.

In order to defend this wave of attacks, their soldiers had been frozen on the city wall for an hour, shelled and bombed.

Paying such a heavy price is only to hold on to a wave of offensive.

Moreover, when defending this wave of attacks, they did not kill too many enemy troops.

This, it's a shame.

After all, with such an offensive, the Chinese army can keep launching.

Just as Ah Shan expected, the Chinese army of this regiment withdrew, and the Chinese army of the other regiment was approaching again, posing as if they were going to attack the city.

Ah Shan suspected that they were still feinting, but even so, they had to guard against it.

It would be troublesome if the soldiers were withdrawn to the city to keep warm, and those Chinese troops turned a feint into a general attack.

It also takes time to bring soldiers back from the city.

Ah Shan did not dare to withdraw the soldiers, but this brought another serious problem, that is, some soldiers on the city wall were about to be frozen.

"Let someone go to the city and cook some ginger soup and hot wine."

Ashan ordered.

That's all he can do.

At this time, some soldiers with poor physique could no longer bear the fever. Only those with frostbite on hands and feet are even more numerous.

The group of defenders just now were actually overcome by perseverance.

The Chinese army will attack again. Their trembling hands may not even be able to strike a match, hold a grenade, or hold a gun.
