I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 282： Strength comparison
The news that Huai\'an City was broken reached the Qing army camp, and Dorgon frowned.
He could accept the Huai\'an city break. Victory or defeat was a common matter for soldiers. The city that was captured by Wu Jun in the Qing Dynasty was no longer one or two, but many, many, he was used to and numb.
What he couldn\'t accept was that Huai\'an was breached so easily.
Huai\'an is not the old-style city in the past. There is a new-style concrete city wall, equipped with a large number of grenades, and new-style training soldiers are stationed there.
It can be said that this is a garrison force carefully forged by them. As a result, this battle result is a bit spicy.
Dorgon couldn\'t help thinking that this kind of defensive city can\'t be guarded, and which city can be guarded in the future?
Thinking of this, he became more determined to defeat Wu Jun in this decisive battle, and must not give Wu Jun any more time to develop. Otherwise, who knows what novel weapons Wu Jun will invent.
This time there are soldiers who can go to the sky. Will there be soldiers who can burrow in the ground next time?
"People can fly to the sky, what do you think?"
Dorgon asked, the battle report clearly stated that the root cause of this failure was the soldiers of Wu Jun who could fly in the sky.
It\'s unbelievable, if it wasn\'t for certain that the people under his men would not dare to talk nonsense in the battle report, Dorgon would never believe that people could fly to the sky.
It\'s nothing more than flying to the sky, and it can actually throw bombs into the ground.
Everyone took the battle report and checked them carefully, and their faces showed incredible expressions.
"How is this possible, how can people go to heaven?"
"You can\'t make a false report. Give them ten courage. They don\'t dare to lie like this."
"Wouldn\'t it be bad then, how should we deal with flying in the sky?"
Some generals have already begun to panic, with a little more pessimistic mood about this decisive battle. Wu Jun is always able to get some advanced weapons out, making people overwhelmed and constantly suffering.
"We don\'t need to worry too much. The battle report said that there are only dozens of things that can fly in the Wu army, and the number of bombs that can be carried is limited. In the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, these two hundred people are not decisive. The role of.
Moreover, it can be seen from the battle report that Wu Jun\'s control of this kind of thing seems to be immature, and will even fall. "
Fan Wencheng relieved everyone. He didn\'t want to see that these people had lost their confidence and fighting spirit before they started fighting, because they would definitely lose.
His relief was very effective, because what he said sounded reasonable.
Although Wu Jun\'s things are very strange, they are limited in quantity and may be able to play a role locally. But if you want to influence the situation of the battle, it is impossible.
Unless they can fly to Dorgon’s head and blow up Dorgon to death.
However, now that they know this kind of thing, they will definitely take strict precautions.
"As Mr. Fan said, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing, but we must send spies to step up to explore the mystery."
Dorgon said.
Subsequently, they also discussed the next big battle together.
The capture of Huai\'an City was a bit disadvantageous for them, but that was all.
No matter who occupied Huai\'an, the final victory or defeat still depends on the decisive battle on the plain outside the city.
Huai\'an City is so small that it can\'t accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to fight, so the decisive battle must be outside the city.
Dorgon would not attack the city either, he knew that Wu Changqing would definitely come to the decisive battle.
Both sides have deployed almost all their troops, and the food consumed by hundreds of thousands of people every day is an astronomical figure. These grains have to be transported from the rear to the front, and the loss on the way is close to half.
This is still in the plains, with canal assistance. Like Zhuge Liang when he came out of Qishan, his army would consume more than 80% of his rations on the road.
Therefore, both sides can\'t afford to delay. Both sides want to make a quick battle and will not engage in so many complicated tactics.
Another point is that there is an endless plain here, and there is no way to play any esoteric tactics.
In the end, Dorgon and others set the battlefield in the Siyang area in the north of Huai\'an.
As for the specific deployment of troops, this depends on the situation.
On August 8, the main forces of the two sides were still approaching each other.
Among them, a cavalry unit of 10,000 troops of the Qing army fought forward and quietly bypassed Huai\'an, intending to sneak attack on the rear of the Wu army and the logistics supply line.
The cavalry relied on agile maneuverability to go around dozens of miles, but Wu Jun\'s spies did not find this cavalry.
And their main force was assembled in Siyang, and Wu Jun was assembled in Huai\'an.
On the 9th, Wu Jun took the initiative to leave the city, and the Qing army also came out of Siyang in a tacit understanding, and then met in the field, and each began to line up.
In the vicinity of Yugou Town, the cavalry spies from both sides engaged in a contact battle.
Afterwards, the forwards of both sides stopped and began to adjust their formations.
At this time, the army of the two sides was only three or four miles apart, and they could already see each other with naked eyes.
However, I couldn\'t see the face clearly, I could only see a black pockmark.
In this small place, the two sides have assembled more than 400,000 people.
Among them, the Qing army had a total of 260,000 and 300,000 when they set off. However, they left some reserve troops in Suqian and Xuzhou, and another 10,000 people were sent to attack the rear of Wu Jun.
When Wu Jun set out, there were 150,000 people, of which 10,000 were left in Huai\'an, where there are a total of 140,000.
In terms of arms, the Wu army has 30,000 flintlock troops, 20,000 matchlock troops, 30,000 cavalry, 10,000 archers, 5,000 grenadiers, 5,000 artillery, and 30,000 cold weapons.
Among them, there were 100 four-jin artillery pieces and fifty eight-jin artillery pieces.
The Qing army had only 10,000 flintlock troops, which suffered a serious loss. There were 30,000 matchlocks, more than Wu Jun. However, the quality of its personnel is definitely worse than that of Wu Jun.
Therefore, the Qing army does not have an advantage in this regard.
In terms of artillery, the Qing army also had 150 artillery pieces, and the number did not suffer. But the quality is far worse, all of them are solid bullets weighing four kilograms.
There are no eight-jin guns, and no howitzers.
In this regard, the Qing army suffered.
There were also five thousand grenadiers in the Qing army, but their grenades were less powerful than Wu Jun because of the gunpowder problem, and they suffered a little.
In addition to these aspects, the other is that the Qing army dominates.
Among them, the Qing army had a total of 20,000 archers, twice as many as the Wu army. Moreover, the quality of their archers is no worse than that of Wu Jun, and they are all people who have been trained for a long time.
The greater gap is the cavalry. The Qing army has a total of 70,000 cavalry, more than twice that of the Wu army.
There is also a cold weapon force. The Qing army has 120,000, which is four times that of the Wu army.
The strength of the two sides seems to have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they all have the power to fight. On paper, it is difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior.
This is also the reason why both sides are willing to engage in a decisive battle. If the strength of one of them is obviously at a disadvantage, such a decisive battle is absolutely impossible.
The weaker party will definitely defend the city honestly.
But now, Dorgon and Wu Changqing are both full of confidence in their own troops.
Dorgon is not blind and arrogant, his confidence comes from the cavalry.
As long as his cavalry smashed Wu\'s artillery, archers, and cold weapons, the Wu Jun only had 30,000 flintlock troops left.
Wu Changqing is naturally not arrogant. Although his military strength is much less, he has more methods. Every method can present a great gift to the Qing army.
