I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Zhun Haer was patient, waiting for the opportunity for the Wu army to attack the city in an all-round way.

After more than ten rounds of shelling, the Wu army began to siege the city.

They didn't carry many shells, so they didn't use the practice of blowing down the city walls.

They only use that tactic when they are attacking tall fortified cities, or when there is no logistical pressure.

Other times, it doesn't work.

To attack the city, you still have to use the traditional method.

Seeing that the Wu army finally began to attack the city, Zhun Haer was relieved and began to look forward to the surprise attack of his own cavalry later. At the same time, he also ordered the soldiers to return to the city walls to defend the city.

Under the urging of the Manchu soldiers, the green battalions reluctantly climbed the city wall again to defend.

They did not want to fight against the mighty Wu army, but they did not dare to resist. There is no connection, and no one dares to take the lead. After all, even if everyone knew that everyone had this idea, the one who took the lead in the rebellion had a really low chance of surviving.

No one took the lead, and they could only start defending the city under the supervision of the supervising team.

Like all the armies that had never fought against the Wu army, Zhunhal suffered some losses at the beginning of the defense. The only hundreds of archers were killed by the Wu army in two salvos.

The remaining archers, no matter how forced by the Qing army officers, would not stand up and shoot arrows again.

This is not a fight, but a death sentence.

These archers used to stand in the safest place to carry out long-range attacks. They were often protected by other troops around them, and they were used to being pampered.

Now suddenly suffering such tragic casualties, they simply can't stand it.

"This Nanchang looks better than expected."

Liu Hansan said with a smile, he thought that the Qing army was already very familiar with his army and had mastered many defensive skills like the Qing army in Jiujiang.

If that's the case, they'll have a lot of trouble attacking the city.

However, at first glance, it seems that the internal communication of information in the Qing army is not very good, and the experience of defending the city summed up by the Jiujiang defenders has not been shared with the defenders in Nanchang in time.

Maybe it was forgotten, maybe it was negligence.

But this is not important, anyway, this is a big good thing for Wu Jun.

Under the cover of the flintlock troops, the Wu army had reached the city wall and launched an attack.

Liu Hansan seemed to have seen victory beckoning, and was in a very good mood.

"If it wasn't for Zhun-Hal being a stubborn person, it would be almost time for him to surrender at this time. This kind of resistance is meaningless when he is surrounded by enemies on all sides and has no way to escape."

Li Lianfan complained about the person who would be Hal.

At this time, in Meishan, several sentries flew back to Nalanda, reporting: "General, the enemy's siege force has arrived at the city and is launching an ant attack on the city."

"How about the enemy's rear defense?"

Nalanda asked.

"There are about 1,000 people in the artillery positions, and there are nearly 2,000 people in the position of their coach."

The sentry replied.

More than 2,000 people, this is not easy to handle.

Nalanda frowned. If it was the Ming army of other forces, he would not pay attention to the two thousand people, and he would just rush over and finish.

However, in front of him is the Wu army, the most powerful army in the Ming army, which successively defeated the army of Bo Luo and Le Kedehun.

Although he has never fought against Wu Jun, he can tell from the battle report that this Wu Jun is very powerful.

With two thousand cavalry to attack two thousand infantry, he was not sure of victory.

After all, the other troops of Wu Jun are not too far from the position of the coach, and they only have at most two quarters of an hour to kill. If Wu Jun's commander-in-chief was not killed within two quarters of an hour, their cavalry would be surrounded and wiped out.

And, for their own safety, strictly speaking, they only have a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, they must retreat, unless they are determined to die.

"Sir, why don't we attack their artillery. Artillery is precious. If we can kill hundreds of their artillery, it will be a great achievement. Moreover, the defense of the artillery position is relatively weak, and the success rate is relatively high."

said one of Nalanda's subordinates.

This Zuo Ling said nicely, but in fact he didn't want to die.

Wu Jun's artillery positions are on the edge, and the risk factor is small. And the position of Wu Jun's coach is too deep, and it is difficult to get out after entering.

"Everyone, it's time to be loyal to the country. We don't think about retreating, we must kill the enemy's main general with the belief that we must die. Only by killing the enemy's main general can the enemy retreat. Just kill some artillerymen. , no play."

Nalanda hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind to serve the country.

The main reason was that he could not see any hope of survival. After Jiujiang fell, Nanchang became a dead place.

Anyway, sooner or later, you will die, so it is better to fight hard now. Even if you fail, you can keep a loyal name and your family can be treated well.

Hearing Nalanda's words, the expressions of his subordinates were different, some screamed and said they wanted to fight to the death, some had a gloomy face, as if they were dissatisfied with Nalanda's decision, and some were like Ashes, with despair on his face.

No matter what they thought, they still obeyed Nalanda's orders in action.

Being a soldier is so helpless, knowing that you have to die, after all, you will die faster if you don't.

two thousand cavalry

They rushed out of the forest, and when Wu Jun found out, the distance between the two sides was already less than a kilometer.

"To the northwest, the Qing army made a sneak attack to protect the Chinese army."

Wu Jun, who was beside Liu Hansan, blew his whistle quickly. The Qing army's intention was too obvious to rush towards their coach's position.

"General, get on the horse quickly and evacuate this place first."

Liu Hansan's personal soldiers brought a horse, but he was also prepared. At this time, it is relatively safe to mount a horse and escape to the middle of the large army.

However, Liu Hansan did not do so. He shouted: "Calm down, don't panic, move closer to me left and right."

It's not that Liu Hansan changed his temper and became not afraid of death.

The main reason is that he knows the consequences of escaping from battle. Although the crime does not lead to death, his future career is completely over.

He has climbed to this position, the future is bright, and he will definitely be the number one or two in the military in the future. Asking him to give up all of this is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Therefore, even though he was very flustered, Liu Hansan pretended to be calm on the surface and ordered the soldiers to resist.

"General, those are cavalry."

The personal soldiers reminded that among the 2,000 people around them, there were only 500 flintlock troops, and the rest were cold weapon troops.

When the number of people is too small, it is difficult to construct a hollow square. Moreover, the enemy's target is very clear, that is Liu Hansan. At this time, it doesn't make sense to put a hollow square array, the opponent can just attack the square array where Liu Hansan is located with all his strength.

It is difficult to overwhelm all the square formations, but it is not a big problem to attack one alone.

Different tactics, in different situations, have completely different effects.

Liu Hansan was not pedantic. He did not call for a hollow square at this time, but used the traditional method to keep the soldiers in front of him.
