I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On April 16, Xu Yuxian's 24th Division arrived in Xiaoxian County, behind Guo Ruowen's ass.

This situation almost made Guo Ruowen so angry that he vomited blood and died on the spot.

Before that, the main force of the Hua Army was clearly far away from Xiao County, but now their support has arrived quickly.

However, Xuzhou, which is very close to Xiao County, did not move at all.

Such an obvious contrast makes Guo Ruowen angry.

"They are all timid and thieves who have wronged the country. This old man should take a good look at their book."

Guo Ruowen cursed loudly.

For him before, even if he couldn't break through Xiao County and rushed to Xuzhou, he could still retreat to Haozhou or Shangqiu.

But now, he was attacked by the front and back, and there was no way to retreat.

Once the retreat is pursued, it will cause an uncontrollable rout.

There is only one way left in front of him, and that is to fight to the death and do the last struggle.

As for surrender, this is impossible.

In order to strengthen the control of the army, the Qing court specially promoted a large number of diehards.

The Qing court is no longer able to care about whether it is strong or not. It only wants a loyalty, and don't surrender to Dahua at every turn.

If it weren't for this reason, Guo Ruowen, who had been unknown until now, would not have suddenly become the commander-in-chief of more than 20,000 people.

Not only was he a die-hard loyalist in the Qing Dynasty, but his family had all stayed in Beijing.

In order to let his family live a good life, Guo Ruowen was ready to die at any time.

Because of the weakness and incompetence of the main general Wanyan Yechen, they missed the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and Guo Ruowen fell into a desperate situation.

In desperation, Guo Ruowen could only order a battalion of about 5,000 people to resist the 24th Division of the Hua Army. Then he personally led the remaining 17,000 people to launch a general attack on the 25th Division of the Hua Army.

For him, this general attack is, if it doesn't succeed, it will become a benevolence.

The Battle of Xiaoxian begins.

The battlefield was divided into two parts, one was near Xiaoxian County, and the other was near Maoyang Village, who attacked Xu Yuxian, relying on Zhahe for defense.

In this battle, Guo Ruowen needs to complete two major problems, one is to break through Duan Qiming's defense, and the other is to prevent Xu Yuxian from breaking through.

This difficulty, even Guo Ruowen himself did not dare to think about it.

There is no city wall in Xiao County, and it is said that it is in charge of defense, but what Duan Qiming can rely on is only a small section of the hillside.

Even this small hillside could not completely block the Qing army's route, so Duan Qiming also placed two brigades with a total of 9,000 people on the plain on the right side of the hillside.

There are no fortifications in the place where these 9,000 people are in charge of defense, and there is no advantage.

This is the battle in the plains, simple and crude.

Duan Qiming arranged 30 cannons and more than 3,000 soldiers on the hillside, which were horns with the main force on the plain.

When one side is attacked, the other side can attack other positions of the enemy's army and surround Wei to save Zhao.

This hillside is a point that Guo Ruowen needs to have a headache.

Left unchecked, those cannons could cover the entire battlefield, bombarding their infantry incessantly.

If you want to solve these artillery, you have to climb the hill, and you will suffer a little loss.

More importantly, attacking the hillside takes time.

"Don't worry about the enemies on the mountain, just charge. Don't worry, the duel of the flintlock guns won't be used for half an hour, and their cannons won't be able to shoot many rounds.

Either we defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and then rush over smoothly. Either the enemy crushes us and everything is over. "

Guo Ruowen said.

His subordinates were stunned when they heard the words. Where is this going to fight? It's obviously going to exchange lives for life.

The side that is afraid of death will definitely collapse first, and the side that is not afraid of death can win at a heavy price.

Although other generals felt that this method was to dance on the tip of the knife, but there was no way, Guo Ruowen sent a message, they could only urge the soldiers to start action.

When the Chinese army was still three miles away, the cannons of the Chinese army had already rang.

However, the hit rate at this distance is still a bit worse. Moreover, the number of cannons in the Hua Army was not many, only thirty.

Compared with a legion of nearly 20,000 people, this number can only disgust them, but it cannot determine the battle situation.

Rebuked by the officers, the Qing soldiers ignored the artillery and moved on.

Soldiers who are hit by artillery can only consider themselves unlucky.

As the distance got closer, the hit rate of the artillery became higher and higher. Thirty cannons fired once, and at least half of the shells could fall into the formation of the Qing army, causing a lot of damage.

However, the firing rate of their artillery was too slow, taking an average of nearly three minutes to fire a shot.

The training of infantry is easy, the training of artillery is difficult.

The Huajun's artillery units were expanding too fast, resulting in personnel training that could not keep up.

In desperation, some recruits can only be drawn to the battlefield and use actual combat to accumulate experience.

The artillerymen of Duan Qiming's department were just new recruits.

But even these new recruits caused great damage to the Qing army.

On average, about 300 Qing troops could be reimbursed for each round of shelling.

Carrying the bombardment of artillery shells, the Qing army finally approached the main force of the Hua army, and the distance between the two sides was less than 150 meters.

At this distance, Hua Jun has already started firing guns.

Although the hit rate

It's not high, but it doesn't matter, one of them earns one, who makes them the defensive side.

They could stand still, but the Qing army could not stop.

If they stopped and shot against Hua Jun at this distance, Hua Jun would probably laugh out loud.

Because at this distance, the killing efficiency of both sides is very low.

However, the cannons of the Chinese army have been ringing, so the Chinese army will take advantage of this kind of counter-fire.

It is not the first time that the Qing army has used muskets, and they already have a lot of experience with musket fighting methods.

So, instead of making such a low-level mistake, they let the soldiers continue to charge forward.

"Why don't you stop shooting, do you want us to charge the flintlock gun? Isn't that courting death?"

On the way forward, the soldiers of the Qing army couldn't help but complain.

Many battles have proved that charging towards the flintlock troops is courting death.

"Stop now and wait for the shells?"

Another soldier sighed.

"Damn, what kind of battle is this? It's too embarrassing. Don't we already have such advanced weapons, why should we suffer such a big loss?"

Another soldier had the urge to vomit blood.

He is a survivor of many Huaqing wars, and he is super lucky. He has tasted what it feels like when his weapons are at a disadvantage.

But what he couldn't understand was that now he had a flintlock gun, why did he still feel exactly the same as before?

And this is actually just Duan Qiming taking advantage of this small weakness that the enemy has no artillery.

These basic arrangements, those who come out of the military academy, are all basic operations.

Duan Qiming, as a leader from the military academy, will fully magnify any advantage.

The Qing army carried the casualties and charged forward about 90 meters.

The distance between the two sides is 60 meters, and the hit rate at this distance is quite impressive.

The main reason is that the formations of the two sides are dense. Except for those bullets that fly too high or too low, they can't hit people, and the left and right sides have no effect. Anyway, there are people on the left and right.

The Qing army stopped at this distance and started to shoot at the Hua army, and the soldiers couldn't stand it any longer.

At this distance, you can fight against Hua Jun to see who can stand it first.

As for the kill of the Huajun artillery, it can be almost ignored in this kind of shot.

Next, it's time to queue up to be shot.
