I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In the rear, the binoculars in Boluo's hands fell to the ground.

Even if he was killed, he would never have imagined that this would be the result of the cavalry attacking the hollow square. What is the reason for this, he couldn't figure it out at all.

But this is not important, the important thing is that he has suffered heavy losses now.

The 10,000 cavalrymen who attacked the phalanx in front of them may not even have 5,000 left after passing through the phalanx. And the second wave of shocks has begun again, and maybe another 5,000 will be lost.

In this way, he directly lost tens of thousands of cavalry, which were cavalry, not infantry.

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the current cavalry is about 100,000, and he will lose one-tenth of this battle, which can be said to be hurt.

A loss of 10,000 infantry can easily be replenished, and a loss of 10,000 cavalry cannot be recovered in two or three years.

This kind of loss is already the heaviest since they entered the customs.

And this loss is caused by his misjudgment. This responsibility is too great. It is certain to be devalued. Maybe even the throne will be cut off.

But those are things in the future, Bo Luo has no time to think about it for the time being, and he has to deal with the current situation now.

Should we continue the decisive battle, or retreat temporarily?

This is a big test for him, and this choice is related to the outcome of the war.

If you choose to retreat, then this battle will undoubtedly be lost, and it will be a disastrous defeat. In the process of retreating, you will definitely have to suffer some losses, which is really traumatic.

Continuing to fight, it is possible to win by virtue of the strength of the troops, but it may also lead to collapse due to low morale of the soldiers, leading to even greater failures.

Now the retreat can be organized in an organized retreat, and the troops can be arranged after the break.

And if it is forced to retreat later because of the defeat, it will be a complete chaos.

Hong Chengchou on the side did not dare to speak, for fear that he would be held responsible for making suggestions.

All the tactics now are under the direct command and responsibility of Boluo. Even if he loses, the court will only chase after Boluo. And if he makes suggestions now and is adopted by Bo Luo, then he will have to take part of the responsibility.

Although he is now highly regarded by the imperial court, this is also due to his glorious achievements in the past.

This level of fiasco, the previous credit is simply not enough, and it is guaranteed to be punished.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou chose to shut up at this time, and everything was handled by Boluo.

Another point is that in the current situation, Hong Chengchou actually has no good solution. The defeat is like a mountain, and a battle can actually be decided in the first half of the battle.

There are very few battles that can turn defeat into victory in adversity.

The cavalry lost their power, and their strength was no longer dominant. If they wanted to defeat the Ming army, they had to return to the duel of infantry.

The previous infantry confrontation on the entire front has proved that the Qing army is not an opponent of the Ming army.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou actually hoped that Boluo could retreat and take a long-term view.

Although retreating at this time suffered heavy losses, at least there was still a fight.

"Let Duld take his troops and charge up behind the cavalry, so as not to overwhelm the enemy's central army and not allow him to retreat."

Boluo issued the latest order, and he chose to go shopping to the end.

Mainly because he saw an opportunity, and now the central army of the Ming army is still resisting the impact of the cavalry, and the formation is a hollow square.

As long as the infantry is pressed up at this time, the Ming army will have no time to adjust the formation, and the stage of short-handedness can be carried out. At that time, he does not want to be able to defeat the Ming army, and he is willing to change the lives of the soldiers of the Ming army one by one.

In order to win this battle, he is already desperate.

Even if he wins, he can't get credit this time, and he may even be punished.

However, Bo Luo couldn't care so much anymore. A tragic victory is also a victory, which is better than a defeat.

On the battlefield, the war is still going on, and there is only one word within a radius of five kilometers, chaos.

The first batch of Manchu cavalry that rushed through the hollow phalanx met the Ming cavalry again.

Although the cavalry of the Ming army was small, with only 2,000 people, it was still a regular cavalry unit.

The Manchu cavalry, who had just been ravaged by the Fire Gun Army, didn't even take a sigh of relief. The cavalry of the Ming army rushed over again, and they could only respond hastily.

The result was, of course, horrible again.

Without the formation, without the officers' organization, it is impossible to win an organized attack by individual bravery alone.

After a confrontation, the Ming army chiseled the cavalry of the Qing army in the opposite direction.

The Ming army lost about a hundred cavalry, while the Qing army lost another seven hundred.

Such a disparate contrast, coupled with the fact that the Manchu cavalry has become a bird in shock, those Manchu generals have no intention of fighting again, but just keep urging their subordinates to escape.

They want to go back to their own safe place first and take a rest.

The cavalry of the Ming army did not chase, anyway, there were still a group of cavalry behind to kill.

The second group of cavalry who rushed into the hollow square enjoyed the treatment of the first group of cavalry. It was easy for the Ming army to beat them, but it was especially difficult for them to beat the Ming army.

Especially after the first round of impact, the soldiers in the hollow phalanx have gained experience, the operation is more comfortable, and the speed of loading bullets has returned to normal.

Rows of bullets were fired, and countless cavalry and horses fell

Down.

One of the hollow roads completely blocked a passage because there were too many corpses of soldiers and war horses.

Seeing the pile of corpses that looked like hills, the passing cavalrymen were already frightened and lost their six souls. They just wanted to escape from this hell on earth quickly, how could they dare to think about resisting again.

The bravery of the Eight Banners soldiers is actually based on the corruption of the previous Han army. When the Eight Banners continued to win victories, their confidence was built up and they became very brave.

However, when they meet the real ruthless characters, they also show the mortal side, the cowardly side.

This, in fact, is like many arrogant little gangsters. Usually, when dealing with honest people, it seems that the bulls are about to go to heaven. But when encountering ruthless characters, all of them are revealed.

The Eight Banners soldiers are not as unbearable as the gangsters, but their performance at this time is really not related to bravery, just like the rabble.

"Here comes the infantry, line up."

This wave of cavalry has not yet completely rushed over, and some commanders have seen the infantry rushing over and quickly ordered.

This kind of hollow phalanx is too thin to deal with infantry and cannot exert the greatest firepower advantage.

If you can't deal a lot of damage to the enemy at a long distance, the flintlock troops will also suffer great losses when it comes to hand-to-hand combat.

Wu Changqing, who was in the rear, had already seen the enemy's deployment through the binoculars. He had already pressed the reserve army up, and at the same time, the cannons were also aimed at the soldiers who rushed over.
