I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Has Lotus Town been won?"

Li Shaobin looked at the black smoke rising from the city and asked.

Now that the city is broken, the Qing army has only one option to flee south. Therefore, when they attacked Jiujiang, they had already sent an army to attack Lianhua Town.

"It has been won, and none of them want to run away."

Liu Hansan said.

"The fire in the city is a problem. It takes a lot of troops to put out the fire. We may not have enough troops."

They had to besiege the remnants of the Qing army, put out the fire in the city, and wiped out the rebels in the city, and there were not enough manpower.

"You can organize the people in the city to save themselves. It's enough to save people. The house can't handle that much. It is more important to surround and suppress the remnants of the Qing army. After they escape to Nanchang, we need to work hard to attack the city."

Liu Hansan suggested that there is no better way for everyone, and they can only put the interests of the people aside.

Gong Adai rushed to Nanchang with more than 15,000 remnants of the army. When he arrived at Lianhua Town, he found that the flag above had become the flag of the Wu army.

Gong Adai uttered a foul language, and then ordered an attack.

Now that they have no way out, they can only rush over. If you can't rush, you can only die here.

Gong Adai expects that there will not be too many Wu soldiers in Lotus Town. After all, the Wu army's total strength is not many, and most of them are devoted to sieging the city.

His estimate was correct, Wu Jun had only one regiment in Lianhua Town, about 4,000 people.

However, they have a terrain advantage, they only need to hold a few hills and two intersections, the focus is on the intersection.

There is no need to spend a lot of troops to defend the top of the mountain. If the Qing army wants to cross the mountain with no road, at least half of their lives will be exhausted. At that time, Wu Jun behind them will almost be able to catch up with them.

Therefore, if the Qing army wanted to flee south, they had to break through the two intersections that were only tens of meters wide.

And these two intersections were filled with Wu Jun's flintlock troops.

"Rush, it's safe to rush over."

Gong Adai shouted, but unfortunately the generals and soldiers under his command did not cheer up because of his shouting.

They are not stupid, they know how terrible it is for the flintlock troops to attack the Wu army. Those who rush ahead have little chance of survival.

In this case, no one wants to rush ahead. As for not charging and waiting to be overtaken by Wu Jun, it was only those high officials who would care. For soldiers, it is better to surrender after being overtaken than to die now.

Therefore, when the generals of the Qing army called for the soldiers to charge, the soldiers of the Qing army standing in front refused to move.

"General, you can't rush, you will die if you rush."

"General let us go, let us surrender."

"General, let's go around the mountain."

The soldiers begged, and some even fell to their knees.

Unfortunately, these beggings for mercy did not shake Gong Adai's determination. He stabbed to death several soldiers kneeling on the ground in succession with his sword, and shouted: "Left and right personal soldiers, fear the battle, and kill without mercy."

Under the coercion of Gong Adai and the urging of the supervising team, the Qing army launched a charge against the Wu army.

"Pia."

The gunshots sounded, and the Qing troops who were rushing in front fell to the next group, but they were still rushing. They could no longer stop. Once they stopped, they would be knocked down by the people behind and trampled to death.

The Qing army shouted and rushed to the Wu army, trying to cover up the fear in their hearts with their shouts.

Unfortunately, this kind of shouting had no effect on the Wu army.

"Prepare, final salvo."

After Wu Jun fired three consecutive shots, he arranged a final salvo.

Nearly a thousand guns were fired at the same time, and the Qing troops who were only a dozen meters away from the Wu army fell one after another. None of the soldiers who rushed in front were spared and all fell down.

In this wave, two or three hundred people fell directly. Seeing this, the Qing army behind could no longer bear the pressure of death, and climbed directly to the hillsides on both sides.

There is a strong enemy in front, and a supervising team in the back, they can only escape to the mountains on both sides.

This way of escaping, the Qing army supervisors and officers had no way to stop them. Even some low-ranking officers joined the escaping ranks, and they didn't want to charge and die.

This kind of change almost looked silly Wu Jun. They had already made a counter-charge and prepared for a bloody battle. As a result, the Qing army had already rushed to the front and even fled.

"Reload and stay alert."

The commander of the Wu army shouted, anyway, their task is to defend this mountain pass, and the others don't need to worry about it. If the enemy doesn't rush up, they can still have fewer casualties, which is a good thing.

Those soldiers who climbed the mountain were basically no longer a threat.

This kind of hillside with no roads and lush trees is not so easy to go up. Basically, the people who climbed the hillside were already exhausted and half to death. When they crossed the hillside and faced the Wu army stationed behind the hillside, they could only surrender obediently.

"hateful."

Gong Adai stomped his feet angrily, but unfortunately his morale had dropped to this point, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"General, the Wu Jun cavalry from behind is catching up."

While Gong Adai was having a headache, the messenger behind him reported even worse news.

"General, surrender. In this situation, no one wants to fight anymore."

Gong Adai's subordinates persuaded that the defeat was like a mountain, and the morale was low.

There is absolutely no chance.

Now even if Gong Adai ordered the supervising team to kill the soldiers one by one, they would not charge again, and maybe those soldiers would mutiny on the spot.

After all, Wu Jun's fire gun army looks much more terrifying than the supervising team. The supervising team at least still uses cold weapons, and everyone fights half-to-five.

But to attack Wu Jun's fire gun army, that is nine deaths.

Gong Adai was still hesitating, but the Qing army who had fallen behind had already surrendered spontaneously.

If they don't surrender, it won't work. Wu Jun will not be polite to them. If they don't surrender, they will shoot directly and wait for them with grenades.

In order to survive, some of those soldiers knew their superiors directly, and then threw away their weapons and surrendered.

In order to save their lives, some officers took the lead in throwing away their weapons and led their subordinates to surrender to the Wu army.

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the soldiers followed suit.

Everyone else has surrendered, so what's the point of struggling by yourself? It's not courting death.

As more and more soldiers surrendered, Gong Adai had lost hope.

Seeing that Gong Adai still hadn't made up his mind, several of his subordinates simply slammed into Gong Adai's body, and the rest of them also greeted Gong Adai's personal soldiers.

After Gong Adai and his personal soldiers were dealt with, and there was no resistance to surrender, the Qing army threw away their weapons one after another, and then the big stone in their hearts also fell.
