I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The Qing army stopped at a distance of about 300 meters from the city wall, and began to form a formation to organize a siege formation.

In front were some soldiers holding shields, followed by soldiers carrying siege ladders and swords, and behind them were the archers and gunnery teams, who were responsible for suppressing the rebels at the head of the city.

Next is a team of sword and shield players, they are the supervising team.

If the soldiers retreat without ordering them, they can simply kill them.

However, these fifty soldiers overseeing the battle were more of a deterrent. When the soldiers fled on a large scale, they were unstoppable.

The Qing army was advancing in an orderly manner, while the rebels on the city wall were standing by.

When the Qing army entered the firing range, Wu Changqing ordered to shoot freely at the crowded places. Bullets are relatively cheap compared to guns.

As long as an average of ten bullets can hit one enemy, he will make a lot of money.

There was a gunshot, and Zhang Yuqin in the distance also stretched his neck to look into the distance.

Seeing that only a few people fell, Zhang Yuqin smiled: "That's it."

"Master Zhang, this kind of firearm has a very high sight at close range, so don't be careless."

Xue Wu reminded.

At the moment when the two of them were talking, the Qing army approached dozens of meters, and at the same time, more people fell.

Within 100 meters, the corporal chief who was in charge of the command in front urged his subordinates to rush.

The archers and gunmen also took their positions and started shooting arrows at the city wall.

"Hit the approaching swordsmen."

Wu Changqing ordered.

Although there were more than 100 archers and gunners in the Qing army, their attacks were not effective because of the distance.

Bows and arrows are better. Skilled archers have a certain level of accuracy, and the formation of a dense rain of arrows can cause a little casualty to the rebels. As for those fire guns, at a distance of more than 100 meters, the bullets did not know where they went.

The deterrent effect of this kind of offensive is far greater than the actual results.

Some soldiers with poor psychological quality, seeing that the archer can threaten themselves, and those swordsmen who are still charging without threat, will subconsciously want to solve the archer first.

But in fact, because the archers were standing far away, their flintlock guns didn't actually have a good target. In other words, before the emergence of rifled guns, firearms were not accurate.

It is very uneconomical to give priority to attacking archers.

And those swordsmen rushed under the city wall, the threat was much greater than that of the archers.

Therefore, Wu Changqing ordered in time to ask the soldiers to overcome their fears, ignore the arrows that were flying, and shoot at the approaching sword soldiers.

He wanted to see if his rabble couldn't hold it first, or if the elite swordsmen couldn't hold it first.

Wu Changqing now has a high prestige in the army, and basically all the rebels obeyed his orders.

As the gunshots rang out, those approaching swordsmen fell down like slashed wheat.

For soldiers who are accustomed to cold weapons, seeing this scene will make their legs go soft.

After all, the cold weapons killed each other, and the soldiers fell one by one. Under the blow of the flintlock gun, these soldiers fell in pieces.

The visual impact caused by the two is not at the same level.

Many Qing troops already had the idea of ​​​​running away, but unfortunately the corps and superintendents around them were still shouting, "Come on, don't let go".

The saddest moment in a soldier is this, forward is death, backward is also death.

The arrow fell to the head of the city, and several unfortunate people were shot and lost their combat effectiveness.

But it didn't matter much, and immediately afterward, the alternates picked up their flintlock guns and joined the fight.

"Master, it's dangerous here, you should go to the tower to command."

As a family general, Wang Dafu still used to call Wu Changqing the young master, not the chief soldier.

Seeing that the archers of the Qing army kept shooting arrows, he worried that Wu Changqing would have an accident.

Go to the castle?

Wu Changqing also thought that he was also afraid of accidents. Although the probability of being hit by an arrow is actually very low, it is still possible after all.

However, he couldn't do it. The morale bonus he brought to the soldiers by standing at the head of the city was extraordinary, and there was no such effect when going to the city tower.

"It's okay, I'll take command here in person." Wu Changqing rejected the personal soldier's suggestion and continued to command.

Hearing Wu Changqing's words, the morale of many soldiers was boosted.

The soldiers are actually very simple. From their point of view, since the generals above and above all face danger together with them, why do they have no reason not to work hard? Are they more noble than the generals?

Many ladders were already leaning against the city wall, and the Qing army also began to climb up with a big knife.

"Grenade, throw it at a crowded place."

Wu Changqing shouted.

Immediately, the rebels who were already ready ignited the lead, and then hurriedly threw the grenade down.

At present, the lead wire of the grenade is made of cotton rope soaked in glutinous rice and dried, and the burning speed is very unstable. Sometimes when it burns fast, it is not to blow up the enemy, but to blow up oneself.

Some soldiers blew themselves up during the experiment before, so the current grenadier has also learned a lesson and throws it when it is ignited.

As for whether the enemy will find it and destroy the lead in time, Wu Changqing is not worried. This new type of thing the Qing army saw for the first time, how could they find this kind of fate in an instant.

Sure enough, the Qing army was a little confused about the iron box thrown by the rebels.

They don't understand, if they want to kill people, why not use the stones that can be seen everywhere, but use this iron box that needs to be forged?

However, soon they will understand.

With the sound of the explosion, a burst of dust was raised under the city wall, and there were bursts of screams at the same time.

The grenades made by Wu Changqing and the others were far less powerful than those of later generations, so unless a few people who were very close were killed by the explosion, more people were just shot by the iron pieces after the explosion.

Those soldiers wouldn't be killed immediately unless they were shot in the head by a piece of iron, but the pain was unavoidable. The soldiers who were injured by the blast also lost their combat effectiveness immediately.

Not everyone can be hit by an arrow like the protagonist in the movie and TV series and can kill the Quartet. This kind of pain will make it more difficult for them to walk, let alone climb a ladder.

"What is that, cannon? Where is it?"

Zhang Yuqin looked at Xue Wu and wanted an answer.

It's a pity that Xue Wu is also confused at this time, where can he answer.

Xue Wu said, "I've never seen this kind of thing before. Do the people in Jiading City know any magic tricks? Why do strange things appear every time."

Zhang Yuqin was so angry when he heard that, if the two were not equal, he would have wanted to slap Xue Wuyi.

How can those who are marching and fighting believe in some kind of magic law.

If the soldiers under his command believed that the people on the opposite side had magic tricks, how could they dare to attack the city again. Xue Wu's words are simply disturbing the military's heart.

"Let the supervising team step up, and those who fall back will be killed without mercy. Today, I must board the city for me."

Zhang Yuqin felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart, so he couldn't wait to take Jiading, not wanting any accidents.

Xue Wu on the side was already in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the situation would be so bad after he had so many reinforcements. According to the current trend, even if Jiading is captured, the casualties will probably be more than half.

Don't expect to have any credit for suppressing the rebellion for this kind of battle damage. Not being punished is the best result.
