I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"What are they doing?"

The Ming army saw many Dahua soldiers lying down, and their faces were stunned.

With their brains, it's hard to understand why lying down can reduce casualties.

After all, the grenade obviously exploded on the ground. According to common sense, it should be easier to be blown up when lying on the ground.

However, when the Chinese soldiers got up again, some Ming soldiers were shocked.

They saw that most of the soldiers near the explosion of the grenade were back on their feet.

The damage caused by the grenade was far lower than they expected.

"How is this going?"

A company commander of the Ming army said to himself that even an officer like him did not understand the reason.

Taking advantage of this moment, Hua Jun trotted all the way to get closer.

Then, they also threw a wave of grenades first.

There were also various explosions in the Ming army positions, and some Ming army soldiers subconsciously chose to lie down.

When they got up again, they found that some of their comrades in arms were injured.

Then they were as excited as if they had discovered some great secret.

While the Ming army was bombed and chaotic, the soldiers of the Chinese army rushed forward for a while, rushed to the front of the Ming army, and entered into a short battle.

However, the Ming army at this time was still condescending, standing firmly in the fortifications.

And the soldiers of the Hua Army, because of the slope problem, it is more difficult to stand firm, and it is inconvenient to exert force.

Under such circumstances, Hua Jun suffered a big loss.

But this is also a matter of no way, who let them be the attacking party.

After a short period of slaughter, the first wave of Hua Jun that rushed forward was repelled.

Many of them were stabbed to death, and some fell and rolled over a dozen meters and were injured.

"Grenade ready, throw."

The first wave of attacks was repelled, and the Chinese army threw grenades again.

Not to be outdone, the Ming army also prepared sufficient supplies for this battle.

The two sides threw a wave of grenades at each other.

According to common sense, the Ming army standing above should have the advantage.

However, judging from the results after the explosion, the damage caused by the two sides in throwing grenades was evenly matched.

This result is difficult for both parties to accept.

Hua Jun has always been accustomed to the advantage, and the result of the evenly matched forces will naturally not be satisfied.

The Ming army was on the defensive side, so it was very frustrating not to take advantage of it.

The two sides were caught in a tussle, and at the same time, Shi Shouye had sent a troop to Jinfeng, wanting to attack the weak point of the Ming army.

After a regiment was dispatched, there were only a thousand people in its headquarters.

And this is also an opportunity for the Ming army. The more than 1,600 people who were ambushed at the head of the room also began to descend the mountain, wanting to attack the headquarters of the Chinese army.

Both sides are in action, and the competition is the speed of a dispatch.

The Ming army's reserve team was quickly heading to Jinfeng for support, and the Huajun headquarters was also building a defensive formation. Even the usual writers and cooks took up weapons and prepared to fight.

Shi Shouye is preparing to fight hard, and does not want to recall his subordinates to rescue and delay the front line.

Soon, the surprise troops of the Ming army arrived at the foot of the mountain, less than 100 meters away from Shi Shouye's headquarters.

At this time, Hua Jun's gunshots sounded.

Not to be outdone, the Ming army returned fire.

They no longer had to charge the flintlock troops as before, enjoying a fair fight.

This kind of shot, the hit rate is not high.

However, everyone did not want to give up shooting and move forward on their own initiative, which would suffer a small loss. Only when the strength and morale are dominant can we take the initiative to advance.

At this time, the strength of both sides was about the same, and they fell into a stalemate for a while.

On Jinfeng, Hua Jun also entered the range of the Ming army.

At this time, there were only more than 300 defenders on Jinfeng, while more than 1,400 Chinese troops were attacking.

In terms of military strength, the Chinese army has an absolute advantage.

Once this advantage is exerted, the victory or defeat can be established in one fell swoop.

More than a thousand people scattered, and the Ming army on the golden peak was uncomfortable, and could not defend such a wide face at all.

The Hua army was too scattered, and most of the guns of the defenders were lost.

Soon, Hua Jun arrived at the Ming army's position from many aspects.

The support did not arrive for a long time, and the Ming army on the golden peak defended for a while and then quickly retreated, giving up the hill.

For their line of defense, losing a mountain is not a big problem.

After Hua Jun captured this hill, there is also an advantage, that is, there is an additional way to attack Xiadonghu, and it is still from top to bottom, so there is no need to suffer from the loss of terrain.

The Ming army was not stupid. As soon as Jin Feng was lost, Donghu's first line of defense chose to give up, and all began to retreat to Shanglinhu, which was at a higher altitude.

At this point, the Hua army captured the first line of defense.

The Ming army, who captured Shi Shouye's headquarters, after shooting at each other for a period of time, found that this alone could not defeat the Hua army.

So, they chose to approach.

After advancing all the way to a distance of only 40 meters from the Huajun, they stopped and continued to shoot.

At this distance, the lethality of the gun is much greater.

Soldiers on both sides kept falling, and at this time, it was the willpower of which side was stronger.

Ming Jun believes that,

The first to collapse must be the Huajun, because there are a large number of non-combatants in the Huajun headquarters.

Like some clerks, pen clerks, auxiliary soldiers for transportation and logistics, etc.

The Ming army believed that these non-professional fighters would definitely collapse first, and then lead the army to flee.

However, the reality is not as they imagined.

The soldiers of the Chinese Army have already fallen two or three hundred people, but they still maintain the formation, keep reloading, shooting, and repeating this operation without any technical content.

At this moment, these non-professional combatants are actually not much different from professional soldiers.

The Ming army also fell more than 300 people. Such casualties have greatly reduced the morale of the army.

They originally thought it would be an easy battle, but unexpectedly they came to a deadlock.

"Jinfeng has been captured."

While they were fighting fiercely, an officer in charge of observing the situation on the battlefield discovered that his own Jinfeng had fallen.

This is very bad news for them, which means that there is no way for them to retreat to the headquarters. Although they can still escape, they can only escape in other directions, and they have to take a long way to return to their positions.

And this process is actually very dangerous.

Once pursued by the Chinese army, they have the possibility of being completely wiped out.

"withdraw."

The Ming army officer in charge of leading the team said.

Seeing that it is impossible to win the Huajun's headquarters, it is meaningless to stay here to consume.

More importantly, the Hua Army who has captured Jinfeng will have the ability to free up their hands to destroy their troops that go deep into the rear.

For the sake of safety, the commanding Ming army commander ordered a rapid retreat.

Fortunately, Hua Jun did not have much desire to pursue, so they escaped relatively easily.

At this point, the first stage of the battle was over, and the Hua army successfully won the first line of defense of the Ming army.

However, when the battle damage report was counted, Shi Shouye's face was extremely ugly.

A total of 732 people were killed, 240 people were seriously wounded, and more than 500 people were slightly wounded but temporarily incapacitated.

Most of these are injuries such as sprained feet or broken hands. They can be recovered after a period of recuperation, but they will definitely not be able to continue fighting for the time being.

This battle loss is a bit large, close to a quarter.

Such a high battle loss made Shi Shouye have to temporarily cancel his plan to continue to attack Shanglinhu.

"Let's wait and see the situation in other directions. If the other directions can break through smoothly, there is no need for us to sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain. If there are difficulties in other directions, then we can only go all out. ."

Shi Shouye said.

More than a thousand people died in the navy, and they directly solved the navy of the Ming Dynasty.

They killed and injured more than 1,000 people, but they only took down a few hills. This kind of sacrifice and gain is not worth it at all.

Although they also killed and wounded many Ming troops, this was not their purpose, all they wanted was to break through this defense.

As long as they break through the defense, these Ming troops will be taken as prisoners, which is much better than killing them directly.
