I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"According to the plan, the full pursuit."

Wu Changqing said.

The pursuit plan after the great victory had been deduced several times before the war. At this time, Wu Changqing only needs to give an order, and others will know what to do.

As for him, he can return to Huai'an and wait for the good news from everyone.

Afterwards, Liu Hansan and many other generals set off in person and led the team to hunt down the enemy.

At this time, there is not much danger, and it is time to grab credit. The more prisoners you capture and the more supplies you grab, the greater the credit.

There are many troops in charge of the pursuit, almost all of them came out.

Even some troops that had suffered heavy losses and had low morale, when they heard that the enemy had been defeated, they immediately put down their previous sorrow and fear, and took the initiative to ask to join the chasing army.

The generals above were considerate to them and wanted them to rest more, but they still did not agree.

After all, they were afraid that all the credit would go to the chasing troops, and the credit for fighting hard to the end was not as good as those who picked up the cheap, which would be too bad.

In short, at this time, they did not care about exhaustion, and joined the chasing troops one after another.

There were at least 80,000 people chasing it, and the whole land was full of heads, which was more chaotic than the previous melee.

In the previous decisive battle with the Qing army, both sides were still in a phalanx, which seemed to be quite organized.

And now, on the surface, it looks disorganized.

Of course, there are still some.

In particular, the teams led by several army commanders and division commanders took the initiative to undertake the task of attacking for the sake of their own smooth pursuit.

For example, to attack sniper troops like Wu Sangui and others, these time-consuming and dangerous tasks are all done by them.

And taking the credit is given to others.

If they do not undertake the task of attacking the fortress, and keep a few formed troops not to eliminate, it is also dangerous to pursue them all at once.

"What about the small-caliber gun, carry it up."

Xu Yuxian shouted that his subordinates were equipped with some cold weapons, and then some grenadiers, and the troops against Wu Sangui did not have much advantage, that is, their morale was higher.

However, they have some more small-caliber artillery.

As the artillery was carried over, the Wu army launched an attack.

On Wu Sangui's side, when he saw that the cold weapon troops were coming, he was also greatly relieved. He was afraid of encountering the flintlock troops.

If they encounter the flintlock troops, they have absolutely no power to fight back.

The two armies continued to approach, and when there were still one or two hundred meters, Wu Jun's small-caliber artillery began to fire.

This type of artillery fires small iron beads, which are not powerful, but can make people injured and lose their combat effectiveness.

The key is that this thing has a large amount of fire, and it can shoot hundreds of beads with one shot. However, its hit rate is worse than the matchlock.

Although the effect of this kind of artillery is not as good as that of the red-clothed cannon, it is even more useful than the red-clothed cannon in a specific environment.

For example, like chasing the enemy now, that kind of cumbersome cannon is useless at all. And these lightweight small-caliber guns can move with the army.

As soon as several cannons opened fire, dozens of Qing troops fell.

Although they were not killed immediately, the pain made them lose their combat effectiveness.

"Why the fuck do you still have artillery?"

Wu Sangui cursed loudly.

With artillery, the situation is different. Now the Qing army has been talking about guns and discoloration, and they are very afraid of the various hot weapons of the Wu army.

With artillery, Wu Jun can consume it at a long distance.

Although the number of artillery pieces is small, the speed of consuming the enemy is slower, but this situation where only I can hit you and you can't hit me can make the opponent very helpless and morale collapse.

In desperation, Wu Sangui could only take the initiative to charge.

He had only two choices, either escape or rush, and stand still or wait to die.

After they rushed for a distance of dozens of meters, Wu Jun's artillery finally ceased fire, for fear of accidentally hurting friendly troops.

However, in this short period of time, these artillery pieces have already killed and wounded hundreds of Qing troops and achieved good results.

Moreover, it also weakened some of the morale of the Qing army.

Immediately afterwards, when they were about to rush to Wu Jun, they were bombarded by another round of grenades.

The two rounds of blows caused heavy losses to the Qing army. Next, it was enough to hand it over to the sword and shield soldiers.

The two armies contacted, and the two sides were torn and killed together.

What can be clearly seen is that the soldiers of the Qing army are all timid and unwilling to rush ahead.

Some soldiers are not thinking of destroying the enemy at all, but wholeheartedly protect themselves.

They were all waiting, waiting for Wu Sangui to order the retreat.

Or, looking for opportunities, looking for opportunities to surrender.

Wu Sangui couldn't surrender, these soldiers didn't have that kind of concern. Given the opportunity, they would lay down their weapons in minutes.

However, there is still a fierce battle, and it is not easy to find a chance to surrender. If you surrender, you may be executed by your own officers, or accidentally killed by the enemy.

It is safe to surrender only when one's own side is defeated and there is no one to supervise the battle.

An army whose mind is not on combat can be imagined with its combat power.

Originally, in terms of cold weapon troops, the fighting strength of the Qing army and the Wu army were both

Almost, Wu Sangui's subordinates are all former veterans.

However, at this moment, they were losing ground.

Wu Sangui, who was supervising the battle in the distance, saw this scene, and couldn't help but sighed: "The hearts of the people are scattered, and the troops can't be brought in."

Several subordinates around him were shocked when they heard the words, Wu Sangui's words sounded too intriguing.

"Those who want to surrender can go and surrender. I won't stop me. I will personally go back to Beijing to convict me. You can all find another way out."

Wu Sangui said that he has only resisted less than two cups of tea now, and he must be punished for retreating. And if they continue to resist, those soldiers will not be able to last long.

Instead, it is better to let the subordinates live.

"General, why don't we return to Wu Changqing together, we are all Han people. Even the Manchus like Mandahai can be reused in Nanjing, and the surrendered ministers like Qian Qianyi can also be reused, let alone us."

There are some loyal people among Wu Sangui's subordinates, who do not want to see Wu Sangui return to Beijing to die.

"I am the biggest sinner in the Manchu customs. There is no place for me in the south. What's more, my family is still in Beijing."

Wu Sangui said that he was not sure whether Wu Changqing could accommodate him.

Although it seems that Wu Changqing is very tolerant now, his sins are serious. As a person in power, Wu Changqing had to take public anger into consideration even if he was willing to accept him.

"My subordinates are willing to quietly return to Beijing with the general and secretly rescue the general's family."

After everyone knew Wu Sangui's concerns, they came up with ideas.

As long as you quietly go back to Beijing while the chaos, you might still have a chance to rescue those family members.

This.......

Wu Sangui was moved, and it was better to rescue his family and return to the south than to be executed by the Qing court.
