I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In the middle, many bigwigs have reached the frontline Longyao, standing on a high mountain to observe the terrain and the deployment of troops on both sides.

"The current situation of the enemy and us, and what are your plans?"

Wang Dayong asked.

"According to the information we have so far, Zheng Zhibao is stationed at Longyao, with more than 20,000 people under his command. Among them, there are about 10,000 soldiers equipped with flintlock guns, and 3,000 arquebusier troops. One hundred and thirty artillery pieces The door, about 20,000 grenades.

Our army is currently superior in strength, with a total of 35,000 men, including 15,000 flintlock troops. We have 100 red cannons, 100 mortars, and one grenade per person. At the same time, there are also a batch of breech guns shipped from Nanjing, a total of 2,000. "

After talking about the strength comparison, Lu Guangzu continued to talk about the battle plan this time.

"We plan to take down the hill to the east of Longyao first, and set up artillery positions on that hill before we can reach the enemy's position. If we can't take that high ground, our red-clothed artillery is just a display.

After taking the high ground, we bombed them with artillery for a few hours and made them collapse. Then, the mortar unit cooperates with the infantry to break through the position of Longyao from the front. "

Lu Guangzu's style of play is very simple, that is, the front is just right.

However, the order was slightly refined, and an artillery position was first taken before the general attack.

"let's start."

Wang Dayong heard that there was no problem, and issued the order of the general attack.

"Commander, our independent regiment is invited to fight, and the task of taking down the hill can be handed over to our regiment."

Xin Zhao, head of the Independence Corps, said.

This independent regiment of him is affiliated with the Royal Guard, not the military department.

This time I came to the south, just to test the new weapon, the Yongxing Type II rifle.

The Yongxing Type II rifle is a breech gun newly developed by the arsenal, and it is also a rifled rifle.

In terms of performance, in fact, the Mauser gun, which is close to the future, is a very mature rifle.

When the warlords of the Republic of China fought, this gun was still popular, which shows its performance.

The Yongxing Type II has the advantages of the rifled gun and solves the shortcomings of the rifled gun.

The previous rifled guns needed to be loaded from the muzzle, and because of the rifling, the bullets needed to be knocked in bit by bit, and the loading speed was not even as good as that of an arquebus.

But now because it is loaded from the back, its speed has increased several times at once, reaching the level of a flintlock gun.

Compared with the flintlock gun, the accuracy of this gun is greatly increased.

In the past, the flintlock gun was hit by fate at a distance of 30 meters, but this Yongxing II style can be aimed within 100 meters.

A skilled soldier, killing an enemy within fifty meters is like chopping vegetables. Elite soldiers can shoot directly within 100 meters.

Also, because the ammunition is loaded from the back, soldiers no longer have to stand all the time.

They can lie upside down to reload, or they can crawl forward, and in short, there are many benefits.

This rifle, which has been ahead of this era for about two hundred years, is the ultimate killer.

At present, there is only one disadvantage, which is difficult to manufacture and high cost.

The rifling in the barrel is a very high-tech job.

Dahua spent a lot of money, and he made 2,000 shots.

And these guns are not for military use, not that luxury.

These weapons were specially used to equip the Royal Praetorian Guard to prevent other generals from rebelling.

If it wasn't to test the actual combat effect, the Praetorian Guards would not want to expose this weapon in front of the military.

However, it is also beneficial to be exposed, and it can be a powerful deterrent to some unscrupulous generals.

Want to rebel? Without even looking at the weapons in his hands, can he fight the Guards?

Oh?

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard what Xin Zhao said. Their military personnel and the Imperial Guard were not in the same system, so the relationship was relatively general.

As a result, some people in the military can't help but belittle the Praetorian Guards, thinking that they are just walking on the parade, and they will definitely not be able to do it on the battlefield.

Some people think more, they even think that the Praetorian Guards are trying to take credit.

"My subordinates are also invited to fight."

Gao Ge, the head of the third regiment, invited to fight, and several other middle-level generals agreed.

Xin Zhao was a little dissatisfied when he saw this, but he came with the task of testing the actual combat effect.

But these turtles in front of me are actually arguing with him one by one. It's really outrageous. Don't you know that you represent the emperor?

"What is Captain Zhao going to do?"

Wang Dayong asked.

The face of the Guards still needs to be given.

"This is simple. We combine the characteristics of the new gun and prepare to adopt skirmish tactics. That is, the soldiers move forward in a dispersed manner to reduce casualties of their own side, then look for obstacles, shoot covertly, rely on a higher hit rate to take advantage, and let the enemy collapse and actively flee. ."

Xin Zhao said very proudly.

His tactics can greatly reduce battle losses and make the enemy's grenades less powerful.

However, good tactics are often not easy to accept when they are just coming out.

"What kind of coward tactics is this, how long will it take for the enemy to collapse and retreat?"

Gao Ge Tucao.

This tactic doesn't sound very reliable.

The other generals laughed when they heard this, much to Xin Zhao's anger.

"How can this be called coward tactics,

This is a tactic to reduce casualties. Although it takes a little longer, it can indeed effectively reduce battle losses. "

Xin Zhao countered.

"How can we waste time attacking a mere nameless hill. The commander let me go up, I promise to take it within half a day, and wipe out the enemy, instead of letting them escape."

Gao Ge volunteered.

When other generals saw that their military personnel were so tough, they all recognized it in their hearts.

In front of the Guards, it is natural that the military's prestige cannot be weakened.

Xin Zhao wanted to argue again, but Wang Dayong spoke up and asked, "Captain Zhao, how long will it take you to take down this mountain?"

This.......

Xin Zhao can't guarantee that, the practicality of this gun is only in theory.

Although the test shows that this gun is really good to use, it has not been used on the real battlefield, and those tests are not reliable.

"I might need a day or two, but..."

One to two days?

More generals laughed, what a broken weapon this is.

With their flintlock guns, they could take it down in half a day, and it would take two days to work with the Janissaries who used more advanced weapons.

If so, what's the point of this new weapon?

"There's nothing but buts. I'll ask Head Zhao again when I have the opportunity. Now we have to cooperate with the troops in other directions, so we can't delay too much. Therefore, we need to make a quick decision."

Xin Zhao was interrupted by Wang Dayong before he could finish speaking.

Wang Dayong is not partial to the military, and the reasons he gave are indeed very sufficient.

If it is their unilateral military action, it will not have much impact sooner or later.

However, they now have to cooperate with the other two armies to put pressure on the Ming army together, so synchronization needs to be done well.

It can't be that they are already attacking in other directions, and they are still attacking an unknown mountain on their own side.

In the end, the matter was settled by Wang Dayong.

The task of attacking the nameless mountain finally fell on Gao Ge's head.
