I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In the end, after some heated discussions, Hua Jun decided to attack Hankou, one of the three towns in Wuhan, first.

Attacking Hankou first will easily create an opportunity for the Ming army to encircle it.

If Wuchang is fought first, it will be more difficult for the Ming army to be tempted.

Because the defenders of Hankou and Hanyang are coming to support, they are all from one direction, that is, the north.

As long as the Chinese army finds out in time, they can retreat to the south, and it is not easy to be surrounded.

Without being able to encircle the Chinese army, it is naturally difficult to give full play to the strength of the army, and it is impossible to create psychological pressure on the Chinese army.

Under the circumstance that the income is too low, the Ming army may not be willing to risk this opportunity.

The enemy is too weak and cowardly, and Hua Jun is helpless, he has to do his best to think about the other side.

And attacking Hankou can make the enemy tempted.

At that time, the defenders of Hanyang can cross the Han River and circle to the northwest of the Huajun.

And if the defenders in Wuchang cooperated well, they could circle from the Yangtze River to the east of the Hua Army, so that they could completely surround the Hua Army on all sides.

Because the west and south are the Han River and the Yangtze River, which took advantage of the terrain to besiege the Chinese army on all sides.

It is easy to retreat on land, but if you want to retreat from the land to a boat on the river, it is not so difficult.

Maybe all the baggage will be abandoned, maybe it will cause panic and chaos in the Hua army.

If this happens, they can approach step by step, forcing those who are too late to get on the boat to drown in the water.

If this happens, then the Ming army will create history, leaving behind a classic battle comparable to the Battle of Chibi.

Defeating an army equipped with modern equipment with primitive cold weapons cannot be overstated.

To put it bluntly, if Hua Jun wants to let the other party take the bait, he needs to put himself in danger first.

Let the Ming army see enough profits to make the Ming army tempted.

According to this idea, in fact, we should go deep into the hinterland and attack Hanyang first, which is more dangerous.

But doing so would be all too obvious.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to attack Hanyang in the rear first. If things go wrong, there will be demons. Huajun's actions will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Ming army.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Hua army chose to attack Hankou first.

Moreover, in order to further give the Ming army confidence, they have to perform a play first.

Pretend that several troop transport ships have problems, stay in the Tianxingzhou area, and pretend to run aground.

They couldn't transport the entire 60,000-strong army to Hankou at one time, because they were not sure of He Tengjiao's courage, whether he would be scared by the 60,000-strong army and dare not leave the city.

In order to be foolproof and to give the Ming army hope, they plan to send 45,000 people over first, and then the rest pretend to be stranded and stay in the Tianxingzhou area.

In this way, it is really difficult for Ming Jun not to be distracted.

If he does not eat in the face of the 40,000-strong army sent into the tiger's mouth, then this kind of coach will not fight. He will not be able to seize any opportunity. This kind of God-given opportunity, most coaches will never encounter once in their lives.

In fact, Hua Jun is also playing with fire in formulating such a plan.

The 40,000-strong army was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people. If the psychological quality of the people was a little bit worse, they would be scared to kneel, and there would be no way to fight.

The Chinese army mainly relies on the enemy's lack of understanding of itself, as well as powerful weapons and the quality of powerful soldiers.

That is, Hua Jun, dare to play this battle tactics.

This kind of tactic, any other army to play, it is a performance of brain pumping, its coach should not hesitate to pull out and beheaded, and will never be unjustly killed.

If it's not Xiang Yu, don't sink the boat, otherwise it's easy to make a joke.

After formulating the tactics, Huajun began to act.

This is not difficult, because the spies of the Ming army are watching from a distance, and there is no way to get close to them.

As long as a few troop transport ships are parked in Tianxingzhou, and then send people to look for boatmen to repair the boats, it is easy to create the illusion that a ship has a problem and is stranded.

February 4th.

After the Hua army left nearly 20,000 people, the remaining troops continued to march westward, posing a defiant appearance.

Anyway, their image has always been defiant.

This point, don't pretend to be too deliberate, the Ming army can feel it.

The army directly landed near the city of Hankou, and the Ming army did not care about it.

The Ming army's navy was far inferior to that of Dahua, and those navy were also used to control the Yangtze River and ensure the connection between the three towns.

If they were sent directly to fight with Dahua's navy, it would certainly cause some losses to Hua's army, but they would have nothing to rely on on the river.

Unless He Tengjiao's brain is flooded, it is unlikely that he will use his trump cards directly to exchange with the enemy.

Hanyang, where He Tengjiao's headquarters is located.

Originally his headquarters was in Wuchang, but considering the upcoming war, Hanyang was a little safer.

So, he moved the headquarters to Hanyang.

At this time, he received a report from the spies, saying that some of the ships of the Chinese army had failed and ran aground, and only about two-thirds of the fleet continued to advance and landed in Hankou.

"Really?"

He Tengjiao was overjoyed when he heard this, this is simply God helping him.

"It's true, some people in the Hua army are looking for boatmen to repair the ship." The spy said.

"It shouldn't be wrong. It is said that Dahua's steam engine is easy to break. It is estimated that this time the machine is also malfunctioning. If you want to fix it, I am afraid it is not possible.

It's that easy. "

Wang Jincai laughed.

"However, why did they not stop moving forward when they encountered such a change?"

Zhang Kuang vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where.

"Hmph, that's not because they have won too many battles and become arrogant and arrogant. If they hadn't been arrogant, how could they have ignored my army of 150,000 people. The arrogant soldiers will lose, and this time I will teach them a lesson."

He Tengjiao said angrily, he was still entangled in the matter of his being ignored.

When he thought that he was despised by Dahua, he was extremely upset, and his self-esteem felt humiliated.

"Since this is the case, we can seize this opportunity to besiege them in Hankou, launch a general attack from all sides at the same time, and defeat them in one fell swoop.

At that time, they will dare to look down on us. When we have captured the equipment of their 40,000-strong army, our strength has increased several times.

At that time, I am afraid that Dahua will have to take the initiative to come to us to discuss, hahaha. "

Wang Jincai laughed.

Among the more than 40,000 people, there were not only more than 20,000 flintlock guns, but also 20,000 of the most advanced Yongxing two-year rifles of the Chinese army.

With this batch of equipment, Dahua really can't underestimate them.

The more everyone talked, the more excited they became, as if Zhou Yu saw Cao Cao, who was in a tight boat, and saw the key to victory.

This gave them a great sense of expectation.

Many people who lack stamina have begun to fantasize about the benefits they can get after defeating the Hua Army.
