I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Changzhou, on December 1st, Wu Changqing’s artillery battalion arrived.

At the same time, the Ming army's spies in Nanjing also sent back a report, stating that there was no large-scale military mobilization in Nanjing and it seemed that they had no intention of rescuing Changzhou.

"It seems that Hong Chengchou is going to give up this Changzhou."

Dai Zhijun said helplessly. The Qing army came to support him, and his plan of fighting around the spot was useless.

"That's good, then we can safely attack Changzhou with all our strength. After we take Changzhou, we can attack and retreat and defend."

Li Shaobin wants to be steady, step by step, don't expect to be fat after one bite.

After taking Changzhou and continuing to expand the army, at least it has to expand to more than 50,000 to be suitable for attacking Nanjing, otherwise the space behind will be empty.

"Everyone, go back and prepare for the general attack tomorrow. I don't want to delay it for too long. It's best to take it down within a day."

They have discussed how to attack Changzhou for several days and have a detailed plan.

In the plan, they are preparing for a one-time breakthrough, not a tug-of-war or war of attrition.

He hoped to consume the enemy's defense materials before taking down the city. That way the casualties would be too great. Wu Changqing didn't like it. He even wanted to take the city with a single attack.

The city of Changzhou is not too high, and there is still hope for a one-time capture.

The next day, Wu Changqing ordered a full-scale attack on Changzhou City, attacking the city from three directions at the same time.

Leaving a direction is to leave a way for the enemy to abandon the city and reduce their will to resist. If surrounded on all sides, it is easy to force the opponent to defend with all his strength.

Sun Tzu's Art of War specifically explains this tactical principle of confinement.

Wu Changqing’s main force was attacking the south, Qian Su Le’s team was attacking the west, and Liu Han’s tribe was attacking the east.

Twenty-five thousand troops, attacking at the same time, the momentum is extremely shocking and spectacular.

Liu Liangzuo, who was observing the enemy's situation on the tower, saw the Ming army's posture and knew that the Ming army was launching a general offensive.

"Damn it, Wu Changqing, kid, deceiving people too much."

Liu Liangzuo yelled, Wu Changqing's behavior of despising him made him very aggrieved.

To the west, twenty cannons fired first, continuously bombarding the city wall.

This is mainly based on deterrence. There are very few cannonballs that can accurately fall on the wall, and they can't kill many enemy troops.

However, the sound of the cannon firing and the tragic situation after being hit by the cannon can cause great psychological pressure on the soldiers defending the city.

After all, they lacked artillery can only be beaten, there is no way to fight back.

After one shelling, Qian Su Le's Department began an all-out attack.

Driven by the Ming army, the captives who surrendered carried sandbags and rushed towards the moat.

This is also a good place to use captives, which can quickly fill the moat and reduce the loss of your own soldiers. As for these captives, they won't feel distressed when they die.

They are filling the river with human lives, while the south is much more humane.

Wu Changqing first sent the flintlock to suppress, and then the captured soldiers were driven to fill the moat.

With the suppression of the flintlock troops, the archers of the Qing army did not dare to raise their heads on the city wall. Only a small part of the people estimated the position of the Ming army, and then launched a projectile.

This kind of sporadic resistance was almost as tickle to the Ming army.

Soon, a large section of the moat was filled.

"The moat is so easy to fill, and there are almost no casualties. This flintlock is also a great weapon when attacking the city."

Xiong Rulin said with emotion that instead of going to Qian Sule, he watched the battle in the south and learned how the flintlock unit fights.

"The city wall of Changzhou is not high, so the flintlock can exert its power. If it is a high city like Nanjing, I am afraid that the effect will not be very good."

Li Shaobin has now become an expert on flintlock guns, and has a good understanding of the various properties and functions of flintlock guns.

The moat was filled up, and Dong Tianbao's department in charge of the siege has begun to move forward.

In the east, Liu Hansan also dispatched a firecracker team and archers to suppress it. The effect was worse than that of flintlock, but it was better than nothing.

Fortunately, there were not many archers in the Qing army, so they could only watch the Ming army fill the river.

After the moat was filled, Liu Hansan also arranged a death squad to go under the city gate, and began to dig pits against the attack on the city wall. They were the key to this siege, and they wanted to blow up the city gate.

As long as the city gate is blasted open, the siege will be much easier.

The city gate is the most vulnerable part of a city. It is relatively easy to blow up the city gate. It is almost the same as burying one or two kilograms of explosives.

The Qing army on the city wall didn't know why the Ming army dug the hole, but they instinctively decided that this was not a good sign and had to be stopped.

All kinds of boulders were thrown down and the soldiers digging the pit wounded one after another. The soldiers waiting in line behind them all looked at their legs trembling.

They noticed that almost none of the people doing this work can come back intact. It’s lucky to be burned and burned by a bit of boiling oil. If you hit your head with a boulder, you will be reimbursed directly.

They were afraid of going back, but they did not dare to back down.

Liu Hansan was not as gentle to the soldiers as Wu Changqing, and it could even be said to be a bit cruel. For soldiers who do not obey orders, he will decapitate without hesitation.

After paying a huge price, a big hole was finally pulled out under the city gate. Subsequently, the Ming army stuffed packs of gunpowder in and arranged the fuse.

At the other end, the ant-attached siege of Qian Sule's club has also begun, and Wu Changqing has also given them a batch of grenades. Under the city wall, the strong men who were singled out lit the grenades in their hands and threw them at the city wall.

The city wall in Changzhou is just over four meters, and ordinary people may not be able to throw it this high, but for these selected strong men, this height is not difficult for them.

One by one, the black boxes were thrown on the wall, scaring many Qing troops to death.

Many of them know this thing. It is a grenade in the mouth of the Ming army, which will explode and is extremely powerful.

Those veterans who had participated in the attack on Suzhou saw the grenade and hurriedly shouted for others to throw it down.

Unfortunately, they were still late.

The soldiers who were going to do the same, the grenade exploded as soon as they picked up the grenade, and the whole person was immediately blown into blood and blood. It was horrible.

Those spattered iron nails made the people around them worse than death.

Seeing the tragedy of the soldiers trying to pick up the grenade, no one would dare to go again. When another grenade was thrown up, their response was to dodge and stay away.

After avoiding, naturally there is no way to attack those Ming troops who are climbing.

Liu Liangzuo, who watched this scene in the tower, stomped angrily and drew his long sword, asking the generals to personally come forward and command them, forcing the soldiers not to retreat and avoid avoiding them.

Under the persecution of the officers, the soldiers who guarded the city could only step forward in despair. To retreat is also to die, and to advance is also to die. The soldiers at the bottom are so sad.

After arranging the defense here, Liu Liangzuo went to other places to check.

He needs to supervise the battle at all times to prevent those soldiers from being timid.

Just as he was about to walk to the east, there was a sudden loud noise, and the whole earth shook. Liu Liangzuo's horse was also frightened and threw him directly to the ground.

"What's going on. What happened?"

Liu Liangzuo roared while sitting on the ground.

"General, let's run away quickly, the east gate was blown open, and the southern city wall has also been lost."

It didn't take long for some subordinates to report.

What, the city gate was blown up?

Liu Liangzuo didn't come back to his senses. He had heard of the city gate being smashed open, and it was the first time he had been blasted.

In order to prevent the gate from being knocked open, he even ordered the gate to be blocked with sandbags. He thought that after blocking like this, no matter how Wu Changqing hits, he would not be able to break through the city gate.

But now Wu Changqing has done it with explosives.

After the city gate is blown open, the sandbags will also be quickly removed. At that time, the Ming army could drive straight in from the city gate.

If there is a problem with just one city gate, he can also send a reserve force to press it up and use his life to block it.

But now, the dangerous place is not only the city gate, the southern city wall has many more Ming troops now, and hand-to-hand combat has already begun on the city wall.

Moreover, from time to time, grenades are thrown up to explode. Although the grenade did not distinguish between enemy and us, people on both sides exploded, but this was obviously a loss for the Qing army, because they had more people on the wall than the Ming army.

For this reason, the defense line of the Qing army is already leaking everywhere, the morale of the soldiers is low, and the destruction of the city has become a question of time, rather than a question of whether it can be defended.

If you don't retreat at this time, you have to wait to be captured alive.

Before the change, Liu Liangzuo would retreat without hesitation. After all, I was not afraid of not having firewood to stay in Qingshan, but this time, he was a little frustrated.

The successive defeats dealt a great psychological blow to him.

From a general with 100,000 troops to a defeated general with nothing, this gap is really too great.

Although there is still a chance of surrendering or running away, but this feeling of losing everything is really better than death. He fled in embarrassment when he was beaten by a little boy, and he had no face to face other people.

Thinking of this, Liu Liangzuo took advantage of his unprepared soldiers and raised the sword in his hand and aimed it at his neck with a stroke.
