I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The generals in charge of the other two city walls were not as brutal as Sun Kewang, and after killing some cannon fodder still had no effect, they simply gave up.

Anyway, the two sides of them are only the soldiers who are responsible for containing the Huajun, so that the Huajun dare not put all the troops to the north.

The main attack point of the Daxi Army is the north. If the main force in the north can't attack, let alone the rabble in other places.

To the north, after Sun Kewang changed several batches of cannon fodder, he finally filled in a few sections of the moat, barely enough for the siege troops to pass through.

But this has a great hidden danger. Once the siege is unfavorable and the troops need to retreat, there will be a crowded and stampede accident.

Sun Kewang ignored this and didn't care.

He really had no choice, filling this little moat had already consumed more than half of those cannon fodder.

Continue to force those cannon fodder to fill up, and those cannon fodder might resist desperately.

"Who wants to lead the charge?"

Sun Kewang looked at the generals.

No one answered below, everyone knows that Huajun's city is not easy to fight. The one who rushes in front must be a life-and-death.

"General Liang, you go first, General Huo later..."

No one volunteered to fight, so Sun Kewang arranged it directly.

Liang Cheng, who was named, cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to object, otherwise he might be killed now.

Even if you want to defect, you have to find an opportunity.

In desperation, Liang Cheng arranged for his more than 3,000 people to go to attack the city.

"Sir, we can't fight this battle. We are basically dead if we rush under the city wall. Not to mention climbing up the city wall, it's hard to even touch the wall."

Liang Cheng's subordinates have sensible people, and at a glance, he can see that the firepower of the Huajun is too fierce, and he can clearly see the strength gap between the two sides.

"Then what do you say? How about you kill Sun Kewang and then we run away?"

Liang Cheng complained.

Why doesn't he know that this battle can't be fought, but many things are that you know you can't do it, but you can't change it.

Liang Cheng said such 'rebellious' words, but those people were not surprised.

Although they are under the jurisdiction of Sun Kewang, they are not Sun Kewang's people.

Sun Kewang never paid them military salaries, and they all plundered them by themselves. Moreover, part of the plundered property is often handed over.

Therefore, they do not have any loyalty and goodwill towards Sun Kewang.

The person who understood obviously did not dare to kill Sun Kewang, so he could only obediently command his subordinates to start charging.

"These guys, their tactical thinking is still in the period of cold weapons."

On the city wall, several generals of the Hua Army complained.

In the period of cold weapons, even if it cannot be attacked at one time, this attack can also consume the defending materials of the defending city, as well as the physical strength and energy of the defending army.

Picking up stones and hitting people is also very labor-intensive.

Taking advantage of the strength of the army, continuously attacking, consuming the physical strength and energy of the defenders, and then attacking the city in one go, this is an important method of siege in the cold weapon period.

But now, times are different.

In the past, at most thousands of large stones were placed on the city wall, but now, the Huajun can put tens of thousands of bullets without taking up much space.

It is a joke to consume Huajun's defense materials.

As for consuming the physical strength of the defenders, this is also an extravagant hope. Continued shooting is certainly consuming, but it is much smaller than throwing stones at people.

Expecting to exhaust the defenders to the point of exhaustion, it is impossible to do it without tens of thousands of people dying, and this kind of casualties, the Daxi Army absolutely cannot bear.

At that time, it will be difficult to say who consumes who.

In short, in the age of hot weapons, it is best to take a siege at once as much as possible.

Refueling tactics are definitely not acceptable.

Even if it is consumption, it is not consumption in this way.

The Great Western Army came fast and retreated fast.

Before they reached the city wall, they threw a pile of corpses and fled, without causing any consumption to the Hua army, and Sun Kewang in the rear was half dead.

"Sir, you can't beat like this, no matter how many people you beat like this, it's not enough to kill."

Other subordinates have persuaded that they do not want their subordinates to die, after all, these subordinates are their power.

Once there are no subordinates, a bare commander like them is of little value.

"Have the Chinese army put all its troops to the north? This firepower has at least three or four thousand people. They did not arrange for defense in the east and west?"

Sun Kewang found something wrong.

Afterwards, he immediately sent people to inquire about the situation in the east and west, and prepared to change the direction of the attack.

Attacking the weak points of the Chinese army, there is still a chance to reach the city wall.

However, it didn't take long for him to receive feedback from the west and east that there were also many Chinese troops stationed there.

"Could it be that there are more than 4,000 defenders in this city of Chongqing, and the information is wrong?"

Sun Kewang reported the situation, and Zhang Xianzhong froze in his heart.

The intelligence is wrong, this is not a small problem.

Wrong intelligence will lead them to make wrong decisions.

Even, he still needs to consider a little further, why the intelligence is wrong, why there are so many more defenders in Chongqing?

"No matter what, there is no hope of winning Chongqing in a short period of time. We should turn as soon as possible and turn to other places to prevent being chased by the Chinese army.

superior. "

Sun Kewang said.

After seeing the Huajun's ability to defend the city, he stopped talking about the attacking Chongqing.

"Where to go? I don't have much food now, and I have to capture one or two large cities to replenish food."

Zhang Xianzhong said that with 100,000 people, they eat several tens of thousands of catties of grain a day, which is a huge consumption.

Previously, they had attacked some small county towns and robbed some small towns along the way, and their seizures were far inferior to consumption.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xianzhong wants to conquer Chongqing. He needs materials in the city.

Zhang Xianzhong's question once again silenced the generals.

When they fled, in order to reduce the burden, they did not bring any civil servants with them, so that there is no one in the Daxi Army who can advise.

"Why don't you throw away those old and weak people, it's also a burden to carry those people."

Another adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong suggested.

However, his words were ignored by everyone.

These people also want to throw away the old and the weak, but then there is no way to threaten the young and strong who are ensnared.

"Let's fill in the moat in the west first, and try it in another direction tomorrow. Everyone, this war is about the survival of our army, and we must take Chongqing at all costs. Anyone who is afraid of the war and not the former will be killed."

Zhang Xianzhong finally made a decision. He still wants to take a risk. After all, he is also a person who has pursuits and does not want to wander forever.

Take Chongqing, seize advanced weapons, and then attack the Central Plains, maybe there is still a chance to make a comeback.

Of course, this is just his idea. Among his subordinates, many people think that Zhang Xianzhong has gone crazy.
