I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 476: Can't afford to lose

"The boy understands."

Shang Zhixin learned another trick.

Tiger fathers have no dogs, not necessarily because of genetic inheritance, but it may also be because a good teacher has taught one-on-one words and deeds since childhood.

After Shang Kexi's order was issued, the artillery scattered throughout the city was rushed to the northwest corner, and then began to bombard the Chinese army.

There are not many of them, just over seventy.

However, this still poses a great threat to the warships of the Chinese Army, because the distance between the two sides is too close, and it is easy to fight accurately.

The sound of artillery from both sides sounded, and the artillery of the Chinese Army once again caused some damage to the enemy's city wall.

If this trend continues, one or two hours will be blasted to knock down the city wall.

After all, the walls of this small county seat are really not thick and not strong.

However, just as they were devastating the city walls, they were also being devastated by enemy shells.

A shell hit the deck, killing several Chinese soldiers and causing a certain degree of damage to the deck.

The other shell was more fierce. It hit the Jiangning’s hull draught and dented a part of the Jiangning’s wooden hull. Some river water had begun to penetrate into the hull.

Wooden warships have extremely limited defense against solid shells.

The two sides are close to each other, the kinetic energy loss of the shell is small, and the kinetic energy acting on the ship is naturally more, which is amazing.

"Change artillery shells, exchange howitzer shells, and give priority to shooting enemy artillery."

The Chinese army reacted very quickly. They immediately gave up the action of blasting the city wall and decided to kill the enemy that could threaten them first.

Suddenly, there was a rush on board.

A large number of solid bullets were moved back to the ammunition depot, and howitzers were removed from the ammunition depot.

This took a little bit of time, and during this moment, another ship was shelled.

However, immediately followed was the disaster of the Qing army.

A large number of howitzers fell on the artillery positions of the Qing army, killing their artillery.

There was a scream from the artillery position of the Qing army.

"No retreat is allowed. Those who retreat will be killed without pardon, and there is still a ray of life left. Even if they die in battle, the families of those killed in battle will be taken care of and preferentially treated. Anyway, it is a death, and most of them are considered for family members."

When the supervising team saw that the artillery began to panic, they immediately drew out their knives, threatening them on the one hand, and talking about the principle on the other.

Intimidation and temptation, two-pronged approach, still have some effects.

Of course, the most important thing is that Shang Kexi has arranged enough supervising teams, so many artillerymen can't see the hope of escape, so they can only grit their teeth and insist.

The artillery of the Qing army is very painful, and the Chinese army is not having a good time.

The Jiangning has already hit the second shell. Although it is not in the same position, the Jiangning's situation is a bit worse.

Water is flooding in both places, and it will sink if it continues.

Some other ships were also hit to varying degrees.

"Captain, we can't fight like this. We are at a disadvantage. The Jiangning has been shot and needs to retreat, otherwise the Jiangning will sink in water and sink. If the Jiangning sinks, we cannot bear this responsibility. Yeah."

On the main ship, a staff officer said to Liu Wanghai, the admiral of the navy.

"However, the order we received was to blow up the enemy's city wall, and now to retreat, the army might have opinions."

Another general said, this is also a question that has to be considered.

"Where can I care about the army at this time? It's important to keep the ship first. The total value of this Jiangning ship is almost 100,000 taels. If it sinks here, we will all have to be dismissed. What if the army is not happy? If you can control us, can you still be removed from our posts?"

The chief of staff urged.

A profit must be taken into consideration when fighting a war. If it is to fight against the enemy's navy, then sinking one or two ships is not a problem at all, because they can sink more enemy ships and obtain sufficient benefits.

And now, the enemy can destroy their expensive ships, they can only destroy the enemy's worthless walls.

Just like this, it can be built by simply recruiting a few civil servants to break the city wall. You don’t even have to spend money, just take care of your meals.

"Withdraw first, go back and think about countermeasures."

Liu Wanghai ordered the entire army to retreat, and Taijiazhuang still wanted to fight, but he couldn't do so brutally.

"Hahaha, the so-called Huajun, but so."

Shang Kexi laughed at the sight of the Chinese army retreating on the wall.

Of course, this kind of laughter is actually pretended to build confidence for the subordinates.

In Shang Kexi's heart, it was actually very regrettable at this time.

He very much hoped that Dahua’s navy would not retreat, so that it would not matter if all artillery was reimbursed, as long as it could sink a single ship of the Chinese army, it would be worth it.

Moreover, judging from the situation just now, if the Chinese army did not withdraw, more than one ship would have sunk.

The shooting just lasted for less than ten minutes, and one of the Chinese ships was flooding.

It's a pity, it's a pity, Shang Kexi is sighing in his heart.

As long as those ships are not blown up and sunk, the losses are not large.

The area destroyed by the shells can be repaired by returning to the shipyard.

They are all made of wooden boards, so repairs don't cost much.

The navy retreated to the temporary dock on the south bank, and then the maintenance workers began to rescue the Jiangning.

Other damaged warships also need repairs.

Although the location of damage to other ships is not too important, every part of the ship has its own role, and if it is damaged, it will definitely have an impact.

The navy's sudden and dingy return made the Army very dissatisfied.

This wall hasn't been blasted down yet, how can they attack the city?

"Master Liu, why did your ministry retreat halfway?"

Qian Sule asked.

"The Jiangning is about to sink. Will it continue to fight if it doesn't retreat? If the ship sinks, your army will pay?"

Liu Wanghai vomited, they were suffocated after eating.

"Master Liu, what you said is too much. According to what you said, our army has killed so many brothers in battle, don't you need your navy to pay for those lives?"

An army commander directly sprayed, after all, Liu Wanghai's words were too outrageous.

This battle was fought for Dahua and not for the Army. There is no reason to seek compensation from the Army for damages.

"A Jiangning is worth one hundred thousand taels."

Liu Wanghai Qidao.

"Oh, I see, Master Liu meant that the soldiers of our army are cheap and worthless."

The army men continued to mock.

"Old Yan, you don't need to set me down, it doesn't make any sense."

In Liu Wanghai's view, the lives of army soldiers are definitely not as valuable as the Jiangning. However, such remarks cannot be said or admitted, otherwise the soldiers will certainly have opinions in their hearts.

"Don't make a noise, but think about how to solve the problem next."

Qian Sule interrupted their ridicule. This sarcasm was meaningless.
