Chapter 8: The collapse of the Qing army

More than 20 grenades were thrown down, and only a dozen of them successfully exploded. This efficiency is a bit spicy.

However, the casualties of the Qing army caused by just a dozen explosive grenades were more than a salvo of 80 flintlock soldiers.

There was a wailing under the wall, but these dozen grenades did not take care of the entire length of the wall.

In a handful of two or three places, the Qing army rushed to the wall.

"The swordsman is responsible for the solution, and the firecrackers continue to aim at the city and shoot."

Wu Changqing yelled that if the fire fighters were afraid of being cut and chose to avoid or defend, it would be bad. The efficiency of the Qing army who gave up shooting down the city would be greatly reduced, and it would be impossible to stop the Qing army from rushing to the wall.

The most efficient way is to perform their duties. The firecrackers continue to be responsible for killing the Qing army under the city, and the few Qing soldiers who jumped on the wall are handed over to the sword soldiers.

In the military, arms coordination is often more important than individual courage.

Of course, this is the ideal state. In fact, in the face of others hacking at them, there are a few people who can choose to ignore them, and then calmly shoot and kill others.

Believe that comrades-in-arms, this is a subject that modern military will focus on training.

Some fire guns panicked, but some fire guns gritted their teeth and followed Wu Changqing's orders.

The performance of the rebels has exceeded Wu Changqing's expectations.

The Qing army who jumped onto the city wall killed some people, but they were also quickly killed.

With a volley of firearms and the second round of grenades, the Qing army waiting to be on the wall completely collapsed under the city.

Where there is battle, it is clearly a one-sided slaughter. Even the most elite army cannot fight in this kind of adversity.

The Qing army fled back frantically. The supervising teams tried to stop them at first, but some people were defeated and killed.

The hundred households in charge of supervising the battle quickly ordered the supervising team to stop. If they want to continue to kill, I am afraid that it will turn into a mutiny.

These battered soldiers were even willing to fight against the people of the supervising team and refused to attack the city again. It can be seen that there is no courage, and it is useless to force them forward.

From a distance, Zhang Yuqin was shocked when he watched this scene. He finally understood why Xue Wu was so decadent before. It was such a failure that was too tragic.

This is only less than half an hour, most of the time is still used to organize the formation and charge on the road, the time for real fighting is extremely limited.

But in this very short period of time, the Qing army's casualties were as high as five hundred, and the battle damage was as high as 40%.

He couldn't figure out why the casualties were so great, which was completely different from the battles he had fought before.

A retired one hundred households knelt in front of Zhang Yuqin and cried bitterly: "My lord, you can't fight like this. It doesn't take two times for my subordinates to be polished up. I will never have the face to go back to Shandong to meet the villagers and elders."

In the ancient army, the soldiers in a certain group or even a certain battalion were often fellow villagers. On the one hand, it is convenient to command, after all, the dialects of different places are different.

On the other hand, most of these soldiers were originally guard soldiers from the same guard post, or soldiers recruited by the generals in their hometowns.

This crying one hundred households recruited hundreds of people from their hometown and later defected to Li Chengdong.

Hundreds of fellow villagers have died at once, fifty or sixty, and he will not be pierced in the backbone by his elders when he returns to his hometown in the future.

Zhang Yuqin also understands this truth. The thousand of his staff are basically Shandong people, and he himself is also Shandong.

"Master Zhang, we will withdraw and retire first. Forced attack is not advisable. I have a plan to force the other party out of the city."

Xue Wu gritted his teeth and said, although his strategy would make him notorious, but in order to redeem his merits, he can't take care of that much.

"Oh, what strategy?"

Zhang Yuqin is like a drowning man who has caught the straw, and a little hope can make him excited.

He also sees the reality clearly now that a force attack is absolutely impossible. I am afraid that if he gives this order, the soldiers will be mutiny.

"According to the news I have heard, it is Wu Changqing, the son of the former anti-thief leader Wu Zhifan, who is currently defending the city in Jiading. Wu Zhifan tried to ambush me before, but was defeated and killed by me.

We only need to dig out Wu Zhifan's body, pull it out of Jiading City, and whip the body in front of Wu Changqing. I think he will definitely be tempted to open the city gate to grab it.

Those courageous people are just relying on the fierce firearms and the benefits of the city walls. As long as they come out of the city to fight, we will surely be able to defeat them and take advantage of the chaos to attack the city. "

Listening to Xue Wu's strategy, Zhang Yuqin couldn't help but feel a chill.

This scheme is too poisonous. How could a son who endure the humiliation of his father's corpse?

If Wu Changqing really held back it, I'm afraid he will have to bear unfilial piety in the future, and it will never be washed away.

However, this trick is really detrimental to yin virtue.

Huaxia’s tradition is that the dead are the greatest. Even if the two parties were enemies before, but everyone is dead, they cannot humiliate the corpse in this way. I am afraid that this behavior will be sent by heaven.

Even when Dorgon invaded Beijing, Chongzhen's body was buried and buried.

"Now that's the only thing we can do. To blame, he is stubborn, but if he is willing to surrender, we can return his father's whole body."

Zhang Yuqin gritted his teeth and said, as a murderous soldier, he pays more attention to practical interests than fame.

Deciding on the strategy, Zhang Yuqin and others retreated first. After this fiasco, without a rest for two or three days, those soldiers may not be able to recover from their fears.

In Jiading City, the rebels cheered and shouted again.

The Qing army was hit hard again, and their mood was so refreshing and refreshing.

The last time they were happy, they were only because they reported their deep hatred. But now they are happy because they see the hope of living.

If you can live, who wants to die?

And now, the continuous defeat of the Qing army has allowed them to build up their confidence, believing that Wu Changqing can live with him.

"Hahaha, this time I am afraid that the Qing dog will be completely scared. Wu Zongbing, we will go to night attack tonight. As long as we defeat this Qing army, we can free ourselves to regain Kunshan, Taicang and other places. To rescue the people there."

Li Shaobin laughed and said, he has begun to swell now.

In this battle, they killed and injured at least more than 500 people in the Qing army, and their own casualties were only more than forty, of which only ten died, and the rest were lightly wounded.

This huge battle loss ratio gave him the feeling that the Qing army was nothing but this.

"The difficulty of night attacks is too high. Our soldiers lack training and are prone to failure."

Wu Changqing denied this plan, and the main reason they have achieved results now is relying on the city wall. Without the city wall, it is too risky to fight against the Qing army in the field.

The defeat of the Qing army was nothing more than the loss of more than a thousand people. Once Wu Changqing loses, it will be a disaster.

What's more, playing night raids in this era is actually a high-tech job, and ordinary regular troops can't play it, let alone their unorganized courage.

Maybe even before the enemy's camp arrives, the people will be separated.

This is definitely not a joke. Most people in this era suffer from night blindness due to lack of nutrition.

As for why there are so many night raids in ancient times that have been handed down? It is precisely because the night attack is so difficult, every success is worthy of a big book and it is easy to be passed down.

In fact, there are far more examples of failed night attacks than successful ones.

It's not that you need to fight to the death when you encounter a desperate situation, there is no need to go to night attack.
