I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"The firecrackers of the Chinese army on the opposite side are their main force. It is difficult to deal with. We can concentrate on defeating their flanks first."

Hong Chengchou suggested.

"Since the Chinese army is their main force, wouldn't it be better for us to attack their Chinese army directly."

Dorgon’s older brother Azig said that he was very brave when fighting, but his brain was not very good. Therefore, even if he is Dorgon's own brother, Dorgon still let Boluo take charge of the command, and Aziger will be a general in charge.

"The terrain of the flanks is not conducive to the impact of the cavalry, but the position of the Chinese army is suitable for the impact of the cavalry. Without the impact of the cavalry, it is difficult to win a big victory."

Boluo also agreed to attack the Central Army, but he considered factors such as terrain, rather than pure blood like Azig.

Bo Luo's reason left Hong Chengchou speechless. After all, the cavalry unit was the most powerful in the Eight Banners Army.

"Let the firecrackers press up first, and the cavalry is on standby at any time. Nikan, you are responsible for attacking the enemy's right flank and destroying their artillery. Zhao Butai, you are responsible for the enemy's left wing, advancing across the board, and destroying them in one fell swoop... ."

Boluo issued various orders, and he divided the troops into three parts, corresponding to Wu Changqing's three troops.

With his strength advantage, it can actually be divided.

However, after further division, the width of the battlefield is not enough. If you want to attack the Ming army, you must detour five or six miles and bypass a section of the hillside. For such a long way, he would send a cavalry to a roundabout at most, and it would never be too late to send an infantry.

Moreover, he didn't need to do that much, as long as he was divided into three parts to defeat the enemy.

As long as the enemy is defeated, it will be time to catch prisoners all over the mountain.

The cavalry is an absolute weapon to defeat the enemy's formation and cause the enemy to collapse.

On the other side, Wu Changqing and other high-ranking generals were also observing the enemy's actions with binoculars on the top of the mountain. They saw that the opponent was divided into three parts to launch a general attack, and everyone smiled.

After planning together, things look good.

"Their vanguard is the firecrackers, and this arrangement is too loose. Such firecrackers are powerful?"

Li Shaobin mocked.

If the matchlock troops want to get damage, they need a dense formation.

"Let the artillery fire."

Wu Changqing watched as the enemy had entered artillery range and immediately ordered.

As soon as the flag was waved, the commander on the artillery position started firing the artillery as planned.

Thirty red cannons fired in a volley, shaking the sky.

Several large solid iron **** smashed into the formation of the Qing army, rolling all the way, the huge potential energy crushed all the people they encountered into mud.

That kind of death is quite terrifying. The psychology of recruits is a great deterrent.

In the intensive formation, the lethality of solid shells is quite amazing. One shell rolls past, and at least ten or twenty people can stop the reimbursement.

With the sound of the Ming army’s artillery, the cannons on the Qing army’s position also began to fire. They had more cannons, with a total of fifty.

Moreover, they have an advantage in military strength, so there is no need to worry that the Ming army will send troops to attack their artillery positions.

The difficulty is too great, and the poor number of cavalry in the Ming army used to be the end of food delivery.

As soon as the Qing army's artillery fired, the Ming army also suffered casualties.

However, these casualties are only a small number compared with tens of thousands of troops, and the coach can bear it.

The only people who need to be frightened are the soldiers at the bottom. They have no choice but to pray that the shells will not hit themselves.

"General, the formation on the opposite side has changed."

On the Ming Army’s artillery position, a guerrilla general in charge of firing artillery said.

"Change the howitzer."

Zhang Xuanyi ordered that the solid bullets had a miraculous effect when facing the column. One cannonball passed by and hit a dozen.

After the enemy army became a horizontal formation, its forces were divided into three or four rows. One shell passed by, hitting at most four or five people, and the casualties were immediately reduced by three or four times.

Being able to adjust the formation in such a short period of time is enough to show that this Qing army is an elite unit.

Unfortunately, they met the Ming army with howitzers.

A howitzer flew over the head of the Qing army and exploded. The nails and iron pieces inside immediately shot out at a very high speed, and hit the head of the Qing army.

Suddenly thirty or forty Qing troops stopped and fell to the ground and screamed. In contrast, howitzers are not as deadly as solid shells, unless they are shot at close range or are shot in the head by fragments. Most injured, not so easy to die.

However, the attack surface of the howitzer is too wide, one shell can cover forty to fifty people.

Those soldiers who have been injured have also lost their combat effectiveness, and there is no way except being carried down.

When a soldier dies, only one combat power will be lost, but if a soldier is injured, two people are needed for treatment, and three combat powers will be lost at once.

The wounded soldiers not only affected the speed of the team, but their screams and howls also affected morale, and treatment also required manpower and medicine.

For the coach, these wounded soldiers might as well just die.

Fortunately, the artillery of this era is limited. In a salvo of thirty cannons of the Ming army, four or five cannonballs can fall into the pile of enemy soldiers at a time.

The accuracy of the artillery of the Qing army was worse, and most of them depended on experience to shoot. At this time, the Ming Army had already begun to initially implement the calculation of shooting elements, adjusting the shooting angle and the amount of charge through arithmetic.

The result of this kind of calculation is not necessarily more reliable than experience. However, the advantage of relying on calculation is that it does not require high artillery experience, as long as it is adjusted according to the data.

The Qing army must rely on the experience of the artillery. If the artillery is not rich enough, it can only rely on luck.

The time and cost required for the training of an artilleryman between the two armies differ greatly.

As soon as the artillery blasts, the gold is ten thousand two. The artillery shells of this era are also expensive, and the soldiers' usual live ammunition training is extremely limited. It is not easy to find a group of experienced artillery units.

As a result, Boluo discovered an unexpected situation. Their fifty cannons were not as effective as the Ming army's thirty cannons.

This contrast made him very depressed, unable to understand. He had no choice but to scold the artillery for a few rubbish.

Hong Chengchou put down his binoculars and said, "Why can their shells explode? This kind of exploded shells poses too much threat to soldiers."

He discovered this very keenly, but it was useless to find out, and he didn't understand the principle.

And knowing the principle is temporarily useless, and can only wait for the next improvement.

"Let Nikan speed up, destroy their artillery as soon as possible, and capture as many artillery as possible at the same time. I want to get the secrets of their artillery."

Boluo is not a pedantic man, he still attaches great importance to advanced artillery.

The effect of this kind of cannonball that can be exploded is so obvious, he can see the benefits of this kind of cannonball at a glance.
