Under the cover of the flintlock troops, the auxiliary soldiers filled in several sections of the moat, and the siege equipment was smoothly pushed down the city.
Without the cover of the flintlock troops, the enemy troops on the city wall can kill and wound the soldiers who fill the river.
And now, although the flintlock troops have also suffered a greater loss, they have ensured the safety of the ant-attached siege troops, and at the same time caused damage to the long-range troops of the Qing army.
Based on these two points alone, their cover is very valuable, and the greatest advantage of the defenders is wiped out.
The Cold Weapon Force arrived under the city and began the ant-attached assault.
A tentative offense is not to say that it is a joke. The soldiers and low-level officers at the bottom do not know that this is a tentative offense, and they are all attacked as a general offense.
Therefore, they rushed very hard.
Of course, only with such a realistic attack can the Qing army's deployment of troops and other conditions be figured out clearly.
In the distance, the eyes of Li Shaobin and others have not left the telescope, they have been observing the situation on the Qing army city wall.
Through observation, Li Shaobin discovered that the enemy's Eight Banners soldiers and the Han Army Green Camp were mixed garrisons. No section of the wall was a pure green camp, and no section of the city wall was a pure Eight Banners soldier.
This is probably because the green camp soldiers are too weak to fight and will surrender.
This approach actually has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can deter and supervise the green camp soldiers to fight, but the disadvantage is that the two troops that usually don't have a tacit understanding get together, and the cooperation is not good enough.
Through observation, everyone also discovered that the archers of the Qing army were mostly concentrated on the middle wall. It was estimated that it was to facilitate support to both sides. On the wall on the left side of the Qing army, there were many defense materials such as stones. On the right side, there are more materials like boiled oil...
Some information is useful, and some information is not useful. Even, we still need to think about whether some Qing army's arrangements are deliberately made by the other party to confuse oneself.
All these require them to analyze and judge by experience and sense of smell, and then make corresponding deployments in the next siege.
"It's almost done, Mingjin retreats."
Li Shaobin ordered that because of the Qing army's sufficient strength, they did not take advantage of this wave of offensive, at most it was 50-50, and the two sides fought a game of consumption.
Of course, as the siege party can draw a tie with the defender, it is remarkable in itself, and can even damage the morale of the other party to a certain extent.
Before the rise of the Wu Jun, one direction of the siege was to sustain greater casualties.
As Wu Jun retreated, the Qing army on the wall was relieved.
In this battle, there is no sense of experience of defending the city at all, and no advantage is felt at all. If this continues to fight, not many of them have the confidence to be able to hold on.
"The enemy is probably just a test."
Lucd sighed.
The Wu Jun’s siege was short-lived, and it did not retreat because the soldiers were defeated, but took the initiative to retreat. This shows that the commander of Wu Jun did not intend to take down Jiujiang through this siege.
All signs indicate that Wu Jun may be just a tentative offensive.
"The following statistics have come out. Our army killed a total of 1,100 people and seriously injured more than 2,300 people. These severe injuries are basically equivalent to death. If the enemy's attack is only a test, it would be too terrible. When it comes to the time of the total offensive, I am afraid that we will lose tens of thousands of people in one battle, and we will break the city by defending at most two or three times.
It didn't take long for Gong Adai to receive statistics on casualties, and the numbers were shocking.
The loss of 3,500 people, which accounted for 4% of their total strength, did not seem to be much, but after all, this was just a trial attack.
According to this loss rate, they will lose tens of thousands of people in every total attack. In this case, they can only defend three or four waves. When the soldier is half dead, he will definitely collapse and mutiny, and Lek Dehun may not be able to control it by then.
"How about the enemy's loss, have you estimated it?"
Lucd asked humbly.
"According to the visual inspection of the opponent's body collection team, it can be inferred that at least 800 people were killed in the battle, and nearly 2,000 people were seriously injured. The loss was slightly less than ours."
Gong Adaihui reports.
"From this point of view, you can still defend one defense, and compare one with stronger endurance."
Luckder snorted coldly. As long as Wu Jun continued to cause a lot of damage, then Wu Jun's soldiers would also panic and risk collapse.
At that time, whoever can hold on for longer will be able to win.
Of course, this tactic can be said to be the most **** tactic, the next strategy. Luck Dehun also had no choice but to rely on this tactic.
However, this illusion of his is destined to be shattered.
The Qing army's estimate of Wu Jun's death toll was relatively accurate, but the estimate of the number of serious injuries showed a big deviation.
The Qing army defined the injuries that it was unable to treat as serious injuries, so it estimated that 2,000 people were seriously injured in the Wu army, and concluded that the Wu army had lost nearly 3,000 people.
But in fact, out of these two thousand people, at least one thousand or two hundred people can be saved. In Wu Jun's statistics, these people were only slightly injured.
Therefore, the real loss for both parties is one thousand six to three thousand five, which is almost one to two.
If you really can't hold on first than anyone else, the Qing army will definitely lose.
Of course, Li Shaobin didn't like this kind of tactics of exhaustion, so that his side would suffer heavy losses. To say nothing, he would have to pay a price of 20,000 yuan in order to fight the enemy to collapse. This is obviously not worthwhile.
That night, in Wu Jun's staff, everyone once again worked out a general attack plan.
"According to this plan, we may not have enough artillery shells, and we need to wait for the next batch of materials to arrive."
Dai Zhijun reminded.
Although their army fought fiercely, it relied on logistics much more than other cold-weapon units.
If there were no shells and bullets, their combat effectiveness would immediately be discounted by a factor of three, which was very terrifying.
Therefore, they are very concerned about the munitions and must always calculate the consumption.
"Then wait for the next batch of materials to arrive before attacking. During these times, we can also build as many siege equipment as possible to reduce casualties during the siege.
Li Shaobin considers not only lay down Jiujiang, but also some other aspects.
For example, Wu Jun’s pension for death and disability of soldiers are much higher than those of other forces. If there are too many soldiers killed and disabled in battle, it will be a huge burden on their finances.
This is also an important factor for Wu Jun soldiers to sell their lives, relying on a good welfare system to attract soldiers to sell their lives.
Although Wu Changqing never told Li Shaobin to pay attention to the loss rate of soldiers, he wanted to make Wu Changqing satisfied, so he naturally had to take the initiative to share his worries for Wu Changqing.
To gain the trust and reuse of Wu Changqing, we must take the initiative to solve Wu Changqing's troubles instead of passively accepting various orders.
