Chapter 308： Matsue Battle

"Brigade commander, let's shrink the defense, abandon some favorable terrain on the periphery, and shrink to the periphery of the commercial area. In this way, our defense line can be greatly reduced, which will help concentrate our forces and facilitate mutual support."

Ning Guojiang’s staff suggested that this is a little bit risky, that is, if a point is broken, the enemy can immediately rush into the commercial area and cause damage.

However, there is also an advantage, which can reduce the line of defense and concentrate as much as possible.

The more concentrated the forces, the more their strength can be brought into play.

"Just do it, and send people to the business district at the same time, let those businessmen organize their buddies. Once our defense is broken, they need to save themselves."

Ning Guojiang ordered.

There are a lot of coolies, workers and mates in the business district, but this kind of untrained person is actually of little use in the face of the regular army, so Ning Guojiang did not count on it before.

But now, even the smallest power must be used.

As the order was issued, Wu Jun acted urgently, constantly retreating and shrinking.

After retreating to the point where it was impossible to retreat, the troops were divided to seize intersections in all directions, blocking the Ming army's footsteps here.

In the commercial area, the merchants who received Ning Guojiang's order quickly organized themselves to protect their goods.

"Hold the warehouse and protect the goods. Afterwards, each person will be rewarded one or two silver. For every person killed, two more rewards will be given."

Now, these businessmen have also begun to become generous.

Only by relying on the temptation to reward these coolies can they arouse the fighting spirit of these coolies.

Hearing that as long as participating in the battle can get one or two silver, those coolies are all heartened. Especially some organized coolie gangs, they are not afraid of death, but also think that they can take the opportunity to kill a few enemies and make some extra money.

While organizing, the businessmen yelled at them.

"This **** court, it's too shameful to come here to grab the money openly."

"Wu Guogong was fighting against the Qing Dynasty in the north, and the imperial court did such a thing behind the scenes.

"I don't know how Wu Guogong and the court should get along after this incident."

They all realize that this incident is not simple and may cause major changes in the structure, but they don't know how it will change.

After the fallout, did Wu Changqing choose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, or choose to stand on his own?

They were discussing, and suddenly there was a gunshot from a distance.

The Ming army and Wu army have already contacted, and fighting has broken out.

It was Wu Jun who took the lead in shooting. The characteristics of the weapon allowed them to take the lead in every battle and take advantage of it.

In addition to the gunshots, their small-caliber artillery also began to fire.

They don't have many artillery pieces, and only two guns are allocated in this direction. In other directions, there are only two at most, and in some places there are not yet.

Thousands of the Ming army frowned when the two weapons were used together.

The price to be paid to break through this firepower net is not small.

"Temporarily stop advancing, take a few steps back, wait for the attack in other directions, and then charge."

Said this thousand households.

At this time, the charge is of little significance. Even if he breaks through Wu Jun's defense, Wu Jun can deploy troops to assist the defense at any time.

And when they attacked across the board, Wu Jun would be overwhelmed in other directions, and they only needed to face the two battalions in front of them.

The Ming army's advance in other directions was not slow, and soon the sound of fighting came from multiple directions.

The thousand households once again ordered an offensive: "Just rush over and rush in front of them for hand-to-hand combat. Our strength is four times theirs. As long as we start hand-to-hand combat, we will win."

In addition to cheering up the soldiers, he also used rewards to tempt him: "As long as you rush into the commercial area, you can looting. No matter how much money you can grab, it will all belong to you."

Hearing this condition, those soldiers only had their eyes brightened, and they gained more fighting spirit.

They all know that gold and silver pile up like a mountain in the business district. If you can grab it at will, you can retire and go home as long as you finish the ticket, and live a carefree little life.

For this goal, many people are willing to fight for it.

"kill."

At a distance of more than one hundred and fifty meters from Wu Jun, the Ming Army began to charge.

The Qing army generally only started to charge within 100 meters, this is the difference between elite and fish belly.

The elite can calm down, but the soldiers in the fish belly unit, only a few unlucky ghosts shot to death next to them, can't wait to rush to Wu Jun to change the situation where they can only be passively beaten.

But they ignored their physical strength. After running for more than 100 meters, they still have the strength to kill the enemy again?

After they rushed for nearly 100 meters, their physical strength had dropped severely, and their speed had slowed down uncontrollably.

This operation almost looked stupid. Wu Jun soldiers were far away and ran so fast when the hit was low. Now the distance is close and the hit is high, but they run slower. This is not a death hunt.

Soldiers of Wu Jun couldn't figure it out, but they didn't think too much about it. Instead, they seized the time and continued to kill.

They have few troops, and although the killing efficiency is very high, there are still nearly a thousand people rushing in front of them.

Rushing to the front does not mean that the Ming army has already won the victory.

They paid too much attention to Wu Jun's firearms, but didn't know Wu Jun's ability to fight in close hands.

As soon as the two sides fought, the soldiers of the Ming Army discovered that they had been deceived by the commander.

Go **** and rush to the enemy to win, so there is still a bayonet wall that can't be broken through.

The charge killed 30 to 40%, and a wave of stabbing killed another 10%. The soldiers of the Ming Army had reached the limit of casualties they could bear.

Some soldiers couldn't help turning around and fleeing, while others simply knelt and surrendered.

But at this time, Wu Jun didn't have time to capture the prisoners, so he killed them directly to save trouble.

They also need to support other directions. The soldiers on their side are all flintlock troops with strong strength, so there is no problem in defending this direction.

However, in some other directions, Wu Jun did not have advanced weapons and used cold weapons.

In these directions, Wu Jun has fallen into a bitter struggle.

Although they are all elite, they can't stand up to three or four times as many enemies.

After a tragic killing, Wu Jun lost his defense in some directions.

However, the Ming army was not doing well. In order to break through Wu's defense, they paid a very heavy price.

Some remaining soldiers rushed into the commercial area, and the Xiangyong organized by the merchants had lined up and waited for them.

Although Xiangyong was relatively useless, the Ming army suffered heavy losses and morale was not high at this time.

At this time, the Ming army had fallen into a dilemma.

Retreat, not reconciled, those soldiers died in vain.

Keep rushing to rob, whether you can leave the business district alive is another big question.
