Chapter 149： Attacked
In Danyang, a convoy of more than 1,000 people set off for Nanjing to the west.
This is a convoy composed of some craftsmen from Suzhou Weapons Workshop and soldiers responsible for escorting.
After Wu Changqing took Nanjing, he set about building a new weapons workshop in Nanjing.
After all, Nanjing is the center of the south, and the main army is stationed here. It is also a hassle to continue manufacturing those weapons and equipment in Suzhou and transport them to Nanjing.
Considering that Nanjing was the rear of the supply of materials during the Northern Expedition, Wu Changqing decided to build a larger weapons workshop in Nanjing to save transportation costs.
If you want to quickly build a weapon shop, you need skilled craftsmen and tools for making weapons.
In this convoy, more than 300 people are skilled craftsmen, and a thousand flintlock soldiers are responsible for escorting.
Nanzhili is already Wu Changqing's territory, and a thousand main escorts were sent in his own territory, which is enough to show that Wu Changqing attaches great importance to these craftsmen and these skills.
He didn't want any accidents to cause the technology of making flintlocks to fall into the hands of Man Qing in the north.
With the huge volume of the current Manchu, this technology can quickly and massively manufacture flintlock guns, which poses a particularly great threat to Wu Changqing.
Several pairs of eyes were already staring at this team when they left the city.
It is not only Da Qing who wants to get the secret of the flintlock gun, Zhu Yihai, Zhu Yujian and the others also want to get the secret.
It's just that Zhu Yujian's people could only sigh when they saw the thousand soldiers. There were only a few dozen of them, and they couldn't speak up. Because of the distance, Zhu Yujian's manpower in Nanzhili is really limited.
Zhu Yihai has a lot of people, hundreds of them.
However, they have to consider a very serious issue, that is, they worry about their identity exposure.
Unless it is possible to give the thousand soldiers to a pot, the news will reach Wu Changqing's ears, which will undoubtedly force Wu Changqing to rebel.
With a few hundred of them, whether they can beat a thousand is a problem, let alone annihilate them all.
Therefore, Zhu Yihai's people can only sigh and wait for other opportunities.
Outside the city, a team of about five hundred people is nesting in a woods.
These five hundred people were tall and burly, with fierce faces, and they knew they were desperadoes at first glance.
This is an elite team from the Qing Dynasty, dedicated to stealing the secrets of flintlock howitzers.
Before the Weapon Workshop was in Suzhou City and was guarded by heavy soldiers. They could not find a chance. And now that those craftsmen finally left the city, they ambushed here early, preparing to plunder.
However, when Wu Jun saw a thousand people escorting him, Qi Shangxin, the leader of them, was mostly cold.
Although all of them can be one enemy two elite, but the reputation of the flintlock has frightened them. In the case of the same number, they have no confidence, let alone the current number of losses.
Of course, the Manchus also wanted to send more people over, but now this area has been controlled by Wu Changqing. Sending a team of five hundred people is already the limit, and if more people want to hide their whereabouts, the difficulty of hiding Wu Jun will double.
"General, the other side has a thousand guards, and they all use flintlocks, do we have a chance of winning?"
One of the leaders asked.
"If we have no chance of winning, we must attack. This thing is related to our great cause of the Qing Dynasty to dominate the world. As long as we get these treasures, we can occupy the entire Central Plains. If we can't get it, countless of our soldiers will die under this weapon.
Pass the order down, kill the enemy and reward one hundred taels of silver, and catch a craftsman to reward one hundred taels of silver. Grab a flintlock, reward twenty taels of silver. "
Qi Shang offered a big reward. The salary of these ordinary soldiers was only a little more than one or two a month. But now, as long as you catch a living craftsman, you can get a hundred taels of silver.
In other words, after finishing this vote, they can retire and enjoy a good life.
For a moment, these brawny men had fierce gazes in their eyes. They want to make a fortune, and whoever dares to stop them will kill them.
"Strike out."
Seeing that the team had reached the best ambush position, Qi Shang gave the order.
Immediately, five hundred war horses rushed out of the woods and rushed to the convoy more than two miles away.
They can rush to the front of the team in less than two minutes under the full sprint.
Hundreds of horses sprinted with great movement, and Li San, who was in charge of the escort, spotted the enemy in the first place.
Seeing that it was a cavalry, Li San was also nervous.
If the infantry is coming, let alone five hundred, he won't be afraid of three thousand. But the cavalry came, and he was under a lot of pressure.
"Go up the bayonet array, the hollow square, the craftsman hides the innermost."
Li San hurriedly ordered the formation. When he was attacked by the cavalry, the infantry formation was the only option.
Escape is the most stupid, how can two legs run over four legs. Without the Phalanx formation, the infantry meets the cavalry as a gift.
In ancient times, infantrymen were sneak attacked by cavalry, which was basically a dead end. Even if they are lined up, the cavalry can throw around without contact, leaving the infantry to stand and be beaten, and there is no way to resist.
The Mongols in those days swept across the Eurasian continent with this hand-riding.
In the past, the infantry had to wait to die when they encountered the cavalry, but now, the appearance of the flintlock has given the infantry the power to counterattack.
Li San's thousand people are also elite troops. In a very short period of time, they were equipped with bayonets and arranged five or six hollow squares. The hollow phalanx was packed with craftsmen and materials.
Li San knew that it didn't matter how many of these soldiers died, anyway, he could add it anytime.
But these craftsmen and materials must not be lost. Losing a craftsman is equivalent to losing the secret of the flintlock. This problem is really too serious.
In a blink of an eye, the cavalry had rushed to the front.
And Wu Jun didn't even need Li San's order, he had already started free shooting.
Dealing with cavalry, the veterans among them are very experienced and knowledgeable. Just stay in formation and shoot as many shots as possible.
With the sound of gunshots, the Cavalry of Man Qing fell one after another, making Qi Shang feel distressed.
These are all soldiers he carefully trained, and each one is one in a hundred.
However, in front of advanced firearms, these elites are as fragile as ordinary cannon fodder troops. They are all reimbursed with a single shot, and they don't wear armor.
Those armors that can withstand swords and arrows are of little use in firearms.
Because of the advent of firearms, armors have become tasteless in the army. Wearing something heavy on the body is dying, and it can't provide protection. It's better to take it off and run faster at least.
"Kill, glory and wealth are in sight."
Qi Shang takes the lead, as long as he completes this task, the reward he can get will be extremely rich. For this reward, he was willing to spare his life.
Soon, the two armies contacted.
The horses remained the same, avoiding the bright bayonets, trying to pass by.
They can train desperadoes who are not afraid of death, but they cannot train horses that are not afraid of death.
Without breaking Wu Jun's formation, they would not be able to catch the craftsman inside.
"Crash, crash."
Qi Shang yelled loudly, and some desperadoes rushed the horses into the battle.
At this time, Wu Jun's formation also exposed a big problem, that is, the formation is too thin.
The original standard hollow phalanx had three rows of soldiers, and there were a lot of bayonets per unit area. But now, because of the small number of them, there are only two rows, and in some places there is even one row.
After being rammed by a horse, this formation can stab the horse to death. However, there was a gap in the entire formation, and the Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty also had the opportunity to swing a saber at the Wu army.
"Withstand the chaos, it's time to be loyal to General Wu."
Li Sansan shouted.
He is now afraid that the soldiers will panic and cause the formation to collapse. As long as the formation does not completely collapse, they still have the advantage because they are crowded.
