I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The news of the great defeat of the cavalry reached Dorgon, and everyone's expressions changed greatly.

Even the cavalry were defeated, they no longer had any cards, and this time it was really impossible to save.

The battle for the national fortune, which dispatched an army of 300,000 troops, failed.

"General, order the retreat."

Kong Youde persuaded that in the current situation, it is the most important thing to arrange a retreat as soon as possible.

Don't think about turning defeat into victory. Once the army loses its morale, it can only retreat. It is impossible to regroup by shouting a few slogans.

At this time, arrange the troops at the rear to cover the retreat of those large troops that have no morale, and can greatly reduce losses.

Don't look at the fact that the Qing army had completely collapsed at this time, but in fact not many people died, and it looked like it was less than 20,000 to 30,000. If the Wu army did not pursue, they would gather up all the rout soldiers who were still alive, which would not be regarded as a great defeat.

Give them a period of time to rest and replenish their equipment, and they can restore 80% of their combat effectiveness.

Of course, this was obviously impossible, and Wu Jun couldn't give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Chasing and killing defeated soldiers is the coolest thing on the battlefield.

As the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, he should make a decisive decision at this time, send some troops that have not been messed up to block, and cover the retreat of other troops.

The sooner the order is given, the better, and the more dangerous it is.

"General, it's not too late, make a decision as soon as possible."

Several other generals also persuaded.

"Who wants to stay behind?"

Although Dorgon is not reconciled, he has not completely lost his mind.

At this time, he didn't know that Dodo had died in battle. If he knew that Dodo had died in battle, he might not be able to control his emotions.

As soon as these words came out, the generals were silent for a moment.

Everyone knows that it is a bad job to stay behind the palace, and the possibility of death or capture is very high.

They are not ordinary soldiers, and there is no hope that they will surrender without any scruples.

Like Wu Sangui, Kong Youde and others, their families are all in Beijing. If they are captured, they will not be able to surrender, nor will they not be able to surrender.

"I would like to stay."

Seeing that no one answered, Bo and Toba Dorgon were angry, so they stood up and took on this important task.

Of course, he stayed because he didn't want to see his own defeat, and at the same time he and Wu Jun also had a deep hatred. Bo Luo, who died at the hands of Wu Jun, was his brother.

Seeing that someone took the initiative to ask Ying, Dorgon suppressed his impending rage.

With his power, he can arrange for anyone to break up, and it is impossible for anyone to go against it.

However, after this kind of thing, it is best to find someone who takes the initiative to ask Ying. If you force this task on someone, it will inevitably make the other party feel dissatisfied. Once the opponent surrendered to the enemy in a fit of anger, it would become a joke, and the consequences would be terrifying.

There are many such things in history.

"Okay, Bo Hetuo, I ordered you to lead 20,000 reserves to be fully responsible for the rear end. General Wu and General Kong also left to assist Bo Hetuo. I hope you will do your best, fight to the death, and buy time for the army to retreat."

Dorgon ordered that in addition to arranging Bo and Tuo, he also sent Wu Sangui and Kong Youde.

He is a little more trustworthy of these two people, because Wu Sangui's love Chen Yuanyuan is still in Beijing. As long as he doesn't want to lose this love, Wu Sangui should work hard.

And Kong Youde's family is also in Beijing, which is also a tie.

Wu Sangui and Kong Youde could only smile bitterly when they heard the words. In the Manchu regime, they still could not enjoy the treatment of other Manchu generals because of their status.

Whatever the hard work, they all do it.

Even with merit, the reward is less than that of Manchu generals.

Just like Wu Sangui, he put the Qing army into the pass, which can be said to be the first hero of the Qing army entering the pass. But now, his soldiers and horses are not as many as when he was the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and his power is not as great as that at that time.

It's as if his credit doesn't exist at all.

If he had known today, he might not have done such impulsive things in the first place, and he would not have become a national sinner.

After formulating the retreat strategy, Dorgon took the people away first, while some other generals went to gather up the defeated troops and organize them to retreat.

Only by being organized can we retreat successfully in an orderly manner. If those soldiers run around like headless flies, they will definitely not be able to escape.

After those people left, Bo Hetuo, Wu Sangui and others also went to their respective troops, and took people to occupy some important intersections, key points and other places, ready to block the pursuit of Wu Jun.

Although this is a plain area, there are not roads everywhere, at least those paddy fields cannot pass through. If you walk a few miles in the paddy fields, you will be exhausted half to death.

Therefore, the Wu army still had to take the road and the official way to pursue, and they would inevitably encounter the troops of Wu Sangui and others, and they had to defeat them before they could continue to pursue.

Wu Sangui came to his troops and announced that they would stay behind.

Immediately, some generals and soldiers shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Why, we fought on the battlefield for a while before. It's not fair that those troops who haven't fought don't stay behind."

A soldier shouted. At this time, everyone knew that their side had been defeated, and everyone was fleeing.

If you want to survive at this time, you can only escape faster than others.

It's about sacrificing yourself for others. They do not have such a great and noble personality.

"That is, we have already killed 30% of the people, and we want us to die. This is to force us to a dead end."

"Wu Jun is so terrifying, he can even go to heaven, how can we fight?"

"That's right, you can't fight."

Some other soldiers agreed one after another, and even had a tendency to surrender in their words. However, no one dared to say it first.

"Shut up, this is a military order. The military order is like a mountain, and those who argue rashly will be executed."

Wu Sangui scolded, he can't let these people continue to shout, otherwise the army's heart will fluctuate, and they will become a rabble.

With Wu Sangui's scolding, those soldiers quickly shut up and didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to offend Wu Sangui's authority.

"Resist with your heart for a while. When the situation is bad, I will take everyone to retreat and leave a way for everyone to survive."

Wu Sangui promised that he must give his subordinates a little hope, otherwise it will be difficult to control those soldiers who want to survive by relying on authority alone.

Hearing Wu Sangui say this, the soldiers reluctantly accepted it.

Of course, there is nothing they can do, and there is still hope of living if they choose to obey the order. And now if you stand up and refuse to execute the order, it will definitely be 100% fatal.

Although it is possible to lead other soldiers to protest the mutiny together, the risk is great, and the early bird generally does not end well.

With no one to take the lead, these soldiers would have to run away.
