Chapter 184: Ready to siege

As soon as Liu Gaoxun saw this situation, he could only jump his feet angrily, and then ordered to withdraw to the city.

When the Wu Jun successfully landed and occupied a base area, it would be meaningless for them to sniper on the shore. It would be better to return to the city to rely on the wall to defend.

The city wall of Anqing is not particularly tall, only five or six meters, but they have a big advantage, that is, Wu Jun does not have any good siege equipment here.

Large siege equipment, such as locomotives and scooters, are not easy to transport with boats, and those two to three kilograms of artillery are inconvenient to transport with small boats.

There is nothing wrong with the big ship, but now the big ship can't enter the ferry and can't get close to the pier.

In short, if Wu Jun wants to quickly win Anqing, he can only rely on simple siege equipment, and then fill his life under the city wall to carry out ant-attached siege.

If you want to reduce casualties, you can only take time to clean up the shipwreck at the ferry, so that the Qing army has played the purpose of delaying the Ming army.

The Qing army retreated to the city, and Wu's vanguard troops landed one after another. The empty ship that put down the soldiers continued to return to the side of the big ship to pick up the soldiers ashore, and return to the other shore to transport the main force.

Although the landing battle was short, the casualties were not small at all. Wu Jun killed nearly 600 people, and the Qing Army also left nearly a thousand dead bodies.

Wu Jun has never suffered a loss in the battle loss ratio.

And this is actually piled up by money.

Wu Jun's money to raise one soldier is enough for the Qing army to raise two.

In order to enhance the strength of the army, Wu Changqing not only provided high military salaries to the main force, but also provided adequate food and occasionally meat supplies.

Relying on the temptation of food, those soldiers can grit their teeth and endure the cruel training, otherwise some soldiers will have run away long ago, and there are always very few people who like to be abused.

It is precisely by relying on high investment and strict military discipline that the training effect of Wu Jun soldiers is much better than that of Qing soldiers, and the training methods are extremely advanced, leading this era for hundreds of years.

The combination of these factors led to Wu Jun's strength.

Obviously they were at a disadvantage, but after a fight, they not only smashed the Qing army, but also killed and wounded the Qing army a lot, and the results were brilliant.

The result of this battle is actually a trivial matter. The most important thing is that their aura really frightened the Qing army. No one wants to fight an army that has no emotions and doesn't know fear.

The vanguard began to build a line of defense, and the small boats continued to transport troops over.

And the navy ship has also begun to clean up the wreckage of the shipwreck. This ferry will be used in the future. Sooner or later, it will be cleaned up. It might as well take some time now.

After clearing the ferry, the artillery can be brought over.

They salvaged and cleaned the shipwreck, using the ancient method of fishing iron cattle in the Yellow River.

They don't know the principle of buoyancy, but they know what to do based on the wisdom accumulated over thousands of years. First, the two large ships were filled with sand, and then they came to the vicinity of the sunken ship, let the soldiers of good water go down and tie the shipwreck with ropes and iron ropes, and then pour the sand and sand on the ship into the river. The sunken ship can be pulled up by buoyancy. , Towed away.

Because the sunken ship just sank to the bottom of the river and did not sink into the silt, the salvage was easier than expected.

On the second day, the several sunken ships were all salvaged and cleaned up, and Wu Jun’s boats also entered the ferry smoothly and brought the artillery over.

When the dozens of cannons appeared under the city of Anqing, Liu Gaoxun almost didn't spit out old blood. How did he fight this?

The strength of the two armies was originally quite different, and the only thing that could be relied on was the city wall.

Now that the red cannon appeared, the role of this city wall would be greatly reduced.

"My lord, or let's withdraw. This city can't be defended. We only have more than nine thousand people. Nanjing has a large army of tens of thousands, and the city wall is as high as four or five feet."

A minister suggested that, compared to the tall city walls in Nanjing, the city walls of Anqing are of a level comparable to those of Jiajiajia. Wu Jun even won Nanjing easily, how could Anqing be able to hold on.

"It's okay to guard for a while and consume some of their ammunition. According to the spies, Wu Jun's howitzer production speed has been very slow. If you can consume some of their ammunition here, you will be better able to fight in future decisive battles.

Liu Gaoxun said.

"My lord, an envoy came across, and it seems to be here to persuade you to surrender.

While they were discussing, two people from Wu Jun rode over and tried to persuade the defenders to surrender.

It's the coolest to be able to win the city without fighting.

Although Wu Jun attacked the city very well, he would lose every time he attacked the city. Moreover, they defended the city more powerfully than the siege. Compared to siege, they are more willing to defend the city.

It's just that the current fighting situation is that the Wu army is the main attack, and the Qing army will not take the initiative to attack their city.

"Can General Liu in the city be here? My general said, you absolutely can't keep this Anqing city. Instead of sending you to death in vain, why not return as soon as possible? If you return now, my general will guarantee you that you will still enjoy the glory and wealth in the future, your man. You can also be spared the disaster of war. General Liu, you are a Han Chinese, so why bother to sell your life to the Manchus..."

Said the messenger.

"Hahaha, rants, just because you want to break this Anqing, don't ask me whether this tens of thousands of soldiers will agree or not."

Liu Gaoxun laughed and interrupted Wu Jun's envoy.

Hearing this, many soldiers on the wall were very embarrassed. If there are no consequences for telling the truth, they really want to say something and agree.

Wu Jun is terrible, and fighting with such an army is simply a nightmare. It is better to surrender early and join the opponent.

It's a pity that it's useless for these low-level soldiers to think about it. It was Liu Gaoxun who made the decision.

"General Liu, I advise you not to be stubborn. Good birds choose wood and live there. Can you still not see the general trend of the world? The Qing Dynasty is no longer good, and it makes no sense for you to continue to be loyal."

"Shut up, shoot arrows."

Liu Gaoxun no longer wants to be scornful with the opponent, because such cursing is not good for him, but it will easily affect the military's morale.

Moreover, the other party also talked about his pain.

Judging from the recent situation, they are really at a disadvantage in the Qing Dynasty.

However, can it be judged that the Qing Dynasty is not good? Not many people really judged this. After all, the territory of the Qing Dynasty is much larger than that of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming army surrendered too early now, and the Ming army could not stop the Qing's offensive in the future, then the generals who surrendered would definitely be liquidated in the future.

Man Qing was not as gentle as Da Ming when he treated the generals who surrendered repeatedly.

Obsessed with not understanding, stupid.

The envoy of Wu Jun stepped back quickly, cursing in his heart while returning. If he fails to persuade the surrender to succeed, his task is equivalent to not being completed, and the reward will naturally be lost.
