I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 69 Successfully lured the enemy

After Qian Sule learned that Wu Changqing had arrived at Hutang, he immediately came to Changzhou City as planned, ready to attack the city.

In order to act realistically, Qian Sule seriously built a large number of siege ladders.

Moreover, those soldiers and even low-level officers such as the corporal chief did not know that this time it was to lure the enemy, and everything was according to the truth.

First, a pontoon bridge was built against the rain of arrows, and a moat was buried.

One of the big differences between southern cities and northern cities is that most of the southern cities have moats, while those in the north have fewer.

In the south of the Yangtze River, where the water network is dense, the water source is too easy to find.

This brought great trouble to the siege party. Seeing the soldiers who fell under the arrows from time to time, Qian Sule felt a little distressed.

On the city wall, Xue Guiren looked at Qian Sulejun and couldn't help but smile and said, "Are all of King Lu's subordinates so stupid? With their strength, could it be true that they could capture our city?"

Liu Liangzuo was very uncomfortable at this time. Although Qian Sule looked stupid, the feeling of being despised by a stupid person was also very unpleasant.

"If we send a force from Ximen and kill them while they are attacking the city, they will definitely be defeated."

Liu Liangzuo said that he now really wants to completely wipe out Qian Sule's 8,000-strong army, in order to atone for his crimes and make up for his previous losses in Suzhou.

Second, he also wanted to vent his anger and let Qian Sule know that he would underestimate himself.

"A certain general would like to be a pioneer."

Xue Guiren said that he didn't want to miss this kind of credit.

Several other generals also expressed their willingness to attack when they heard the words. Xue Guiren could see the credit, and so could they.

After making a big plan, Xue Guiren and others went to prepare.

The Qian Su Le Club under the city also filled in a moat and launched an attack.

A team of a thousand people carried ladders and other siege equipment and advanced in an orderly manner.

"Sir, a large number of enemies have been found on the west and east gates, and they are coming towards us."

Just when Qian Sule was attacking the city, the sentinel galloped over to report on a fast horse.

"This Liu Liangzuo is more impatient than expected."

Xiong Rulin smiled. Originally, they expected to show some defeat before they could draw out the enemy. Unexpectedly, Liu Liangzuo couldn't hold his breath so much.

This is mainly because they didn't expect Liu Liangzuo's psychology now. Today's Liu Liangzuo is very aggrieved, and he is especially eager to have a big victory to vent his grievances.

"Order to retreat, be careful not to mess up."

Qian Sule said that half of the plan has been completed, and the next step is to see the ability of the troops to organize retreat. But don't turn a false defeat into a real defeat, and cause a collapse, it will be funny.

One of the big advantages of their retreat is that the middle and high-level officers know that this is a trick to lure the enemy, so they are not as panicked as when they are defeated, and they will not take the lead in escaping.

As long as they continue to command the troops, there is little chance of chaos.

Following Qian Sule's order, their rear army began to retreat first, followed by the central army. As for the thousand troops still sieging the city, they also started to retreat, but it depends on luck whether they can escape or not.

In the plan, this part of the people are abandoned children who can be abandoned, and they are reluctant to have children who can't catch wolves.

On the city wall, Liu Liangzuo had a little doubt in his heart when he saw Qian Sule's decisive retreat.

However, he still hadn't guessed that Qian Sule was luring the enemy.

After all, he didn't know that Wu Changqing's main force had reached the vicinity through the waterway, so in his opinion, it was useless for Qian Sule to play any intrigue and tricks now, how could he be able to resist his army with only so few people.

What's more, the Qian Su Club is still retreating, and the retreating army is very prone to panic. How can such an army have the strength to resist.

Therefore, even if there are doubts in his heart, Liu Liangzuo has not changed his plan.

However, he chose to open the city gate and personally took part of his troops out of the city to pursue. This kind of large-scale pursuit operation, he must personally go to the front to direct it to be relieved.

Soon, Xue Guiren, who had left the city from Ximen, caught up with some of the rebels.

The rebels who were caught up immediately fell into panic, and this time was the most dangerous. If you stay and resist, you will die, and if you continue to run away, you will most likely die. Even if you kneel down and surrender, it will depend on luck.

"Surrender, surrender to me."

Several hundred households ordered that among the hundreds of people, only a few of them were insiders.

At this time, to surrender at the end, it can not only save a small life, but also delay the time of the enemy's pursuit. Moreover, after surrendering, you don't have to worry about Ming Festival, after all, this is a fake surrender.

Many soldiers knelt down and surrendered one after another under the instructions of the junior officers, which made the chasing Qing troops a little helpless. They still wanted to kill a few more leaders to get the reward.

However, the Ming army surrendered too quickly, and they were not good at slaughtering the surrendering soldiers, so they could only allocate some people to control these surrendering soldiers.

The rest of the Qing army continued to pursue, and finally had a chance to make a big profit. They wouldn't kill a few hundred people, they would be satisfied with just a few hundred people.

What they want is to catch up with the main force of the Ming army and eat these 8,000 troops, which is a great credit.

Changzhou City is only a few kilometers away from Hutang Village. Running all the way, the main force of the Ming army crossed the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in about an hour and arrived at Hutang Village.

And the Qing army at the back was in hot pursuit, and the distance was only more than one mile recently.

land. This is also due to the fact that the Qing army lost most of the horses in Suzhou last time, otherwise a cavalry unit would harass and intercept at this time, and the Ming army would have been caught up long ago.

When he arrived at Hutang Village, Qian Sule was finally relieved when he saw Wang Dafu, who was in charge of answering him.

The process of escaping and retreating just now is still very dangerous. If they can't get rid of the enemy behind them, the soldiers' psychological defense line may collapse.

But now, those soldiers found out that the general did not lie to them, and as expected, there were friendly troops in response, and the big stone hanging in their hearts fell to the ground.

Qian Su's club was taken to the other side, and Wu Changqing's main force set up a formation and walked towards the chasing Qing army.

The Qing army rushing in front had already discovered something was wrong. After all, the weapons used by Wu Changqing's main force were too special, all with bayonets and fire guns.

Some Qing troops, who still had psychological shadows on the Ming army, recognized Wu Changqing's troops at a glance.

"Head, we seem to have been tricked."

Some veterans stopped and shouted in panic.

It's a pity that at this time, even though many people have discovered the scheme, they can't change anything. It takes time for the news to reach the rear army, and at this time the rear army is still pouring in.

The former army did not dare to advance, and the latter army was still coming. For a time, the entire north of Hutang Village was full of Qing troops who were overwhelmed.
