I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Wu Jun stayed up until dawn, and then began to count losses.

In this night attack, more than 800 soldiers were killed, more than 300 were missing, and more than 100 were seriously injured. There are also many soldiers who are lightly wounded and sick. These people have also temporarily lost their combat effectiveness and will need to rest for at least a few days to recover.

In addition to the loss of soldiers, the loss of materials is also quite heavy.

More than half of the food was burned, almost all the tents were burned, some grenades were destroyed, and some other bits and pieces were also lost.

In short, their army is temporarily abandoned. If they want to continue to march, they need to rest for a few days and also need to replenish logistics materials.

And materials, they were already short.

"Brother Lu, we've had a bad luck this time."

Fang Ce sighed and said that the Wu army had never fought a defeat since the start of the army.

This time, they have set a precedent.

This battle will definitely become a stain on the two of them and a laughing stock among other officers and generals.

"We have to find a way to make the battle against Chuzhou more beautiful, so that we can more or less make up for our mistakes."

Lu Guangzu said.

Things have happened, he no longer struggles, but thinks about how to remedy it.

"How can you be beautiful? Take Chuzhou with zero casualties?"

Fang Ce asked.

If Chuzhou can be captured with zero casualties, then it can be called beautiful.

However, unless Chuzhou took the initiative to surrender from the city, it would be impossible to win Chuzhou with zero casualties.

They have just been defeated by the army of Chuzhou, and they still want the army of Chuzhou to surrender voluntarily, which is undoubtedly a nonsense.

"The capture of the city with zero casualties has already set a precedent in our army, so it's not particularly amazing. I think, if you want to be called beautiful, you must take Hefei before Xu Yuxian and the others."

Lu Guangzu said a bold idea.

According to the plan, Xu Yuxian first went to capture Bengbu and Huainan, cut off the retreat of the defenders of Hefei, and then went south to Hefei. And this one of them is to capture Chuzhou, and then go to Hefei to join Xu Yuxian and others.

According to the plan, Xu Yuxian's team is the main attacking party, and they are the auxiliary.

If they can take Hefei before Xu Yuxian and the others arrive, it will be a very beautiful battle, enough to make up for the mistake of being attacked at night last night.

However, it is too difficult to win Hefei before Xu Yuxian and others. Not to mention Hefei, they all have to figure out a way to get past the Chuzhou in front of them.

And Hefei has more defenders than Chuzhou.

"Does this Brother Lu have any good plans?"

Fang Ce asked, if you want to achieve this goal, it is definitely impossible to attack, I am afraid you can only use your brain to think of a plan.

"Call the two staff officers over and discuss it together."

Lu Guangzu has an idea in his mind, but we still need everyone to discuss its feasibility.

After the arrival of two staff officers and several regimental commanders, Lu Guangzu told everyone about the current severe situation.

Because of the defeat, everyone's future career may be affected. If you want to eliminate this effect, you must make a contribution.

And winning Chuzhou is the most basic task.

After listening to Lu Guangzu's speech, everyone's face was heavy.

Everyone wants to climb up, so they are very concerned about how to solve this crisis.

After talking about the situation, Lu Guangzu revealed his plan.

"I plan to lead the troops to retreat for more than ten miles, and collect food and grass in the vicinity, so as to give the enemy a feeling that we are temporarily unable to attack. Then, secretly select a team of elites and disperse them into the city. After that, they will meet in the city, and then in the city. Open the city gates at night, and we will give them a night raid."

Lu Guangzu was attacked at night, and his heart has always been a lump.

If this plan can be successful, many soldiers can be killed.

However, this plan is actually very difficult.

Wu Changqing used this trick when he attacked Nanjing, but at that time Wu Changqing had the help of merchants in Nanjing.

Those local snakes have many methods, and they are very clever, and they can help their soldiers easily sneak into the city.

But now, Lu Guangzu and the others have no internal response in Chuzhou, no one to help.

It is very difficult and risky to rely on those soldiers to sneak into the city by themselves.

Moreover, after sneaking into the city, how to communicate with each other is also a problem, how to smuggle weapons in is also a problem, and a night attack is also a problem.

If these problems are not solved, Lu Guangzu's strategy is a joke.

"This risk is too great. There is still a difference between soldiers and civilians. If the enemy checks more carefully, they can see it."

"It's all easy to handle. Anyone who picks some clever people should be able to get in. Even if someone is exposed, they can lie and say that they were the soldiers who scattered last night, and the plan will not be exposed. But the question is, how to Bring the weapons in."

"You can kidnap a caravan and sneak in."

......

Everyone chatted and brainstormed, but they gradually improved Lu Guangzu's immature idea.

In the end, everyone was sure that this strategy had the possibility of success, but the operation was difficult and the risk factor was high.

In the past, they would definitely not take this risk, because they have

Absolute advantage, it is enough to play steadily, there is no need to do so.

But now, Lu Guangzu couldn't care so much. As the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, if you don't fight at this time, how will you turn over in the future.

Moreover, even if the strategy fails, it is nothing more than the loss of one or two hundred elite soldiers.

Nearly 1,000 people died last night, and 200 more people didn't make much difference. But once it is successful, the benefits can be substantial.

The other generals also agreed with Lu Guangzu's strategy out of this consideration.

Later, Lu Guangzu selected two hundred clever and loyal soldiers in the army, explained the mission to them, and promised a reward.

These soldiers also know the danger of this mission, but for the sake of reward, they are all willing to fight.

The two hundred soldiers then put on their weapons and equipment and quietly left the team.

In small-scale battles, flintlock guns are not easy to use, and the weapons they bring are broadswords. At the same time, also carried a large number of grenades.

They were scattered everywhere to prevent them from being discovered by Qing spies.

Then, they have to rely on their own wisdom to find a way to infiltrate Chuzhou, and find a comrade-in-arms in Chuzhou city, which is extremely difficult to fight.

This kind of operation of theirs is actually equivalent to the infiltration operation of the special forces of later generations.

At the same time, the Wu army's main force began to swagger back, clearly telling the Qing army that they had no desire to attack.
