I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

After paying a full 1,200 lives, the Qing army only filled in a moat that was more than 100 meters long, which was enough for their siege troops to pass through and reach under the wall.

Subsequently, the Qing army began a formal siege.

In order to cover these siege troops, Liu Liangzuo had to send the archers to suppress the Ming army at the head of the city again distressedly.

The soldiers walking in the forefront are all carrying large wooden shields, which are also wrapped with quilts. Such shields are the most effective for defensive firecrackers.

Of course, an iron shield is better, but if a half-person-height shield is made of iron, no one can carry it for hundreds of meters.

Even if he barely carried it under the city wall, he didn't have the physical strength to climb the ladder.

The shield soldiers were followed by soldiers carrying a siege ladder. This was also some sad cannon fodder. They needed to mount the ladder to the city wall, and they were the key targets of the defenders.

After these people, they became the main sword and shield soldiers of the siege.

There were 3,000 soldiers in the first wave of attacking the city. When they rushed to a distance of about 150 meters from the city wall, the firecrackers on the city wall began to fire again.

"Run faster and rush over."

The commander of the Qing army shouted, urging the soldiers to run forward. As for those advancing soldiers, from time to time someone fell on the way.

It's okay to die on the spot, so you can suffer less. Those soldiers who weren't hit at the critical point were even more miserable and had to die after experiencing a series of torture.

There is no penicillin in this era, and the bullets used by firecrackers are all lead bullets, which are highly toxic. Wherever they are hit, more than 90% of people will be infected and decayed.

Once infected, you can only wait for death. Amputation is useless. After the amputation continues to infect and rot, it is better to have a knife at the neck.

At a distance of more than 100 meters, it takes only ten seconds for a soldier to rush up, but these ten seconds is enough for the flintlock to fire a second shot.

Shooting at close range, the Qing army fell in pieces like wheat being cut.

This made the generals supervising the war in the rear numb their scalp and sweating behind their backs.

Even though he was used to all kinds of killing scenes, this kind of scene where people fell in pieces was still so terrifying.

There were only 800 flintlock troops stationed on this wall. If there were 2,000, it would be possible to destroy the Qing army in a single volley.

And now, although the Qing army suffered heavy losses, it has already rushed under the city wall, and the ladder has hooked the city wall.

The surviving Qing troops began to climb upward, and more Qing troops passed through the moat and squeezed into the narrow boundary below the city.

At this time, Wu Changqing ordered: "Grenade."

Following his order, hundreds of black iron boxes were thrown from the city to the bottom of the city. While the soldiers under the city were still bewildered, the explosion began.

The explosion of hundreds of grenades was even more shocking than a volley of dozens of cannons. The sound of the explosion almost deafened people's ears. The rising dust covered the Qing army under the city, and only the screams were uncovered.

"Ah...Help, mother..."

Various wailing and screams sounded under the city wall, and some Qing troops were struggling in pain, like the end of the world, like a dungeon.

These screams directly scared the Qing army from behind and did not dare to step forward.

In fact, there is no way to go forward. There is only a small place opposite the moat, and it is crowded with one or two thousand people standing.

And now the soldiers are still lying on the ground, even more so that the ground is covered.

"This is the bombshell of the rebels?"

Liu Liangzuo from the rear said to himself, that in the battle reports related to Wu Changqing, the flower bullets were also mentioned one or two times. But because those people themselves are not familiar with this stuff, they don't know how to write the battle report, they are all rather vague.

As a result, Liu Liangzuo hadn't paid attention to this thing before.

But now, the grenade's power is more terrifying than the new-style firecracker.

Seeing the tragedy of the soldiers, Liu Liangzuo was a little scared.

"General, order the withdrawal first, the soldiers in front have been scared."

Cheng Tianbao reminded.

Hearing this, Liu Liangzuo quickly ordered Mingjin to retreat. He needed to stroke it before making any plans, and he couldn't attack like this anymore.

There was only a wave of siege today, and more than 2,500 casualties had been reached, and the wounded soldiers were basically the same as dead.

Even inwardly, Liu Liangzuo hoped that they were dead rather than injured.

The wounded soldiers are even more troublesome. He still can't ignore it. If those wounded soldiers are allowed to wailing under the city, it will undoubtedly chill the hearts of all soldiers, and no one will dare to die in the future.

Therefore, after they retired, they immediately sent a team of unarmed people to go under the city wall to treat the wounded soldiers.

At this time, Wu Changqing did not give an order to stop the shooting. After the battle, they were not allowed to attack when they were treating the wounded. This was an unspoken rule in the ancient battlefield.

Any general who is somewhat humane will abide by this rule.

For Wu Changqing, he was also very happy that the Qing army took the wounded soldiers back.

These wounded soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness and will only drag down the Qing army and affect the morale of the Qing army.

But Liu Liangzuo knew that there were such consequences, but had to continue to do so.

Carriages of wounded soldiers were transported back, and the horror of those wounded soldiers scared some timid soldiers from opening their eyes.

A piece of iron was shot into the eyes of a wounded soldier, and it hurts to look at it. There was also a few very small fragments in his face, and it became pockmarked. One of the abdomen was blown to **** flesh, but it was not dead yet.

For these wounded soldiers, the soldiers in charge of treating them did not know how to treat them. They had no similar experience.

The wounded soldiers in the past were either stabbed by a spear or slashed by a broad knife. They all have experience in dealing with these wounds.

But now, the wounded soldiers were basically shot into the body with iron pieces. They didn't know what to do, so they could only simply pull out with their hands and dig with the tip of a knife.

In the era without anesthetics, this kind of treatment was similar to killing. The wounded soldiers who were in pain were not as good as death. Many people had already pleaded robes to give themselves a knife.

"Shameless, despicable, this group of rebels has no humanity."

Liu Liangzuo looked at these wounded soldiers, his head became silly, and when he returned to the camp, he cursed at some useless nonsense. The other generals who were watching were speechless and could only sigh in their hearts.

"General, these soldiers have to be arranged farther away. Being too close to the base will affect morale."

Xue Guiren reminded that the screams of these wounded soldiers have not stopped, which is very morale hurt.

"General, many of these soldiers can't be saved, it's better to..."

"No, how can we kill our own soldiers? If this kind of thing is leaked out, the whole camp will be mutinous."

Dong Tianbao directly interrupted the participating general, although he also knew that killing some seriously injured people was reducing the burden. However, it is easy to be condemned to do such a thing.

Once things are revealed, there are endless troubles.
