Chapter 202： fly a kite

The armies on both sides are in action.

On the Qing court's side, Azali commanded the fleet to divide into two groups, one way straight down the waterway south of Jiangzhou, and attacked Wu Jun frontally. The other way is to enter the waterway north of Jiangzhou, preparing to sneak to the back of Wu Jun to carry out a sneak attack.

They don't have a steam engine ship, but they are going down the river, so this scheme works.

Both sides invariably thought of the tactics of sneak attack behind the back, mainly because fighting on the water is much simpler, and there is really not much room for tactics.

Sneak attack, creating panic and chaos, this is already a fairly good tactic.

Sometimes, even miraculous effects can be achieved.

In real wars, it is mainly due to hard power confrontation, and the effect that tactics can play is often relatively small.

When ordinary people read historical novels, they are always attracted by those wonderful tactics, which leads to a misjudgment, thinking that fighting is to rely on the wisdom of the two sides to compete, and whoever uses the tactics better.

But in fact, examples of winning by tactics account for only a very small part of countless wars. Most of the battles are pure strength competitions.

However, this kind of pure strength competition does not have the ups and downs of the plot, and there is no amazing reversal. It is far less exciting than the war story of flexible use of tactics, so there are not many that have been handed down.

This also left an illusion to the ordinary people of later generations, that is, the ancients used tactics in battle.

Wu Jun generally rarely uses tactics in battles, but relies on absolute strength to fight recklessly.

In the face of Wu Jun's rogue style of play, the Qing army did not have a good way to deal with it.

Tactics, in the face of absolute strength, often can't make waves. Occasionally, if you succeed once, you can use it as a classic.

On the waterway north of Jiangzhou, Wu Yi's navy and Qing court's navy met.

Wu Yi Shuijun knew very well that the Qing army must be on the opposite side, so he immediately began various combat preparations.

The navy of the Qing court was a little confused, because they saw that the fleet on the opposite side was very strange, without sails and no wood pulp. However, it is this kind of weird boat that is going upstream.

This phenomenon is really weird, just like ancient people seeing trains and cars, they will definitely be scared to think they are dazzled, or they think there are some monsters.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain such an unreasonable thing.

The Qing army was attracted by this strange appearance, and they all forgot to distinguish the identity of the other party.

It wasn't until the sound of the opponent's cannons sounded, and watching those flying shells, did the Qing army wake up like a dream.

"The enemy attack is the Ming army."

Some generals screamed in horror. Facing the sudden attack, they showed some panic.

The officers are like this, and the soldiers are even more unbearable.

Some soldiers even put down their weapons, chanting that Wu Jun had the help of the Dragon King and River God. It was the River God who pushed Wu Jun forward under the boat, and the River God wanted to punish them.

Many soldiers agreed with this kind of nonsense, and everyone panicked.

"Fart, it's because the enemy is stepping on the two water wheels with their feet, preparing me to meet the enemy."

Some generals also had no bottom in their hearts, wondering if the Dragon King and River God really existed. However, at this time, you must not condone the spread of such rumors, otherwise the military will definitely be upset.

Ever since, a clever officer offered an explanation.

In this era, there are actually boats that rely on paddle wheels to propel them, but they all rely on people to shake the water wheels, and their efficiency is not as efficient as direct paddling.

Although what the general said was wrong, it was an explanation that sounded reliable, and it was better than letting the soldiers believe in the Dragon King and River God.

When their soldiers recovered and hurriedly prepared to fight, the two armies were already less than a hundred meters apart.

Afterwards, the firearms on board Wu Jun's ship started shooting. The two armies are very close together, and the soldiers on the Qing army ships are very dense, so the hit rate of the fire guns is quite impressive.

"Holding the shield, the archer and firecracker counterattacked."

The generals of the Qing army shouted that after the navy suffered a loss last time, they also carried some large and thick iron shields on their ships this time. At the same time, they were also equipped with a large number of archers and fire fighters.

However, their counterattack firepower is much worse than Wu Jun's flintlock.

After two rounds of shooting, the Qing army discovered this situation.

"Go up and fight on the side."

The Qing army knew that in purely competing long-range firepower, one's own side was far from being an opponent, and could only be passively beaten, and still had to find a way to fight hand-to-hand.

Although they did not take advantage in hand-to-hand combat, at least they would not suffer such a big loss as they do now.

"Speed ​​up and avoid, keep your distance, and fly their kite."

The commander of Wu Jun ordered that the fight that can be solved with flintlocks should not be hand-to-hand combat.

He relied on the more power of the steam engine, the faster the ship, and the ability to keep the distance from the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to approach.

This is a new method of tactics evolved from typical new weapons, and the Qing army was completely unsuited to it for a while.

They wanted to fight on the sidelines, but they couldn't catch up with Wu Jun's ships.

This battle was frustrating for the Qing army.

"Don't chase, we went straight through to attack their fleet at the mouth of the lake."

After the generals of the Qing army suffered continuous losses, they also saw the enemy's rogues, so they could only choose to break the boat and continue to carry out the sneak attack mission.

However, how could Wu Jun let them succeed?

Still relying on their speed, they chased up again, hung behind the Qing army's buttocks, kept their distance, and then kept firing with muskets.

This style of play is a bit like the riding and shooting of Genghis Khan's Mongolian army. It is very rascal, but also invincible.

At least, the Qing army had no way to deal with this style of play, and could only let the soldiers find something to avoid.

However, the deck was originally empty and there were so many soldiers on board, there was no place to cover it.

"Shameless, despicable, and nasty, the courageous generation dare not come and do it openly."

The generals of the Qing army yelled at them, and at this time they seemed to have no means other than scolding their mothers.

"General, it's time to start the battle. We have to solve them as soon as possible. Attacking the enemy's rear is our main task."

On Wu Jun's side, a staff officer reminded the commander of this navy.

Although flying a kite like this is very cool, the loss is small.

However, the speed at which they shoot the enemy is not particularly fast, at least not as fast as hand-to-hand combat.

If there are no other tasks, they can keep fighting like this until the enemy collapses.

But now they have a task. If they spend too much time on this group of people and can't get to another battlefield in time, then the gain will not be worth the loss.

"It's a pity that with such a good tactic, the whole army was ordered to prepare for battle, and quickly resolve the enemy at any cost."

Wu Jun’s commander ordered.
