I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

To prevent confusion, a larger crash occurs.

Guo Ruowen ordered a temporary retreat.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight to the death, it's that the army is out of control.

Even if he gave orders to fight to the death, no soldier would listen.

Not to mention soldiers, even some officers will no longer obey orders.

These soldiers and soldiers, after all, are all living individuals with flesh, soul, and independent thinking, not his Guo Ruowen's marionette.

"My lord, we can't rush through. This Huajun is just like not knowing and afraid. We can rush through unless we kill them all. If we want to defeat them, I don't see such a possibility."

Guo Ruowen's lieutenant sighed.

Hua Jun's will to fight made him shudder.

With an army like this, God knows how to defeat it.

He really couldn't figure it out, everyone is human and has the nature of survival, why the morale of the Huajun can be so high.

In the past, their weapons were backward, and the casualties were much higher than those of the Chinese army. It was understandable that the soldiers could not hold on to the defeat first.

However, everyone's weapons are similar now, and when they were just shooting at each other, the Huajun did not take too much advantage.

However, why did the Chinese army show no signs of collapse?

Those Chinese soldiers are also human, and many of them are former Qing soldiers. It's just a change of military uniform, how can you also change the nature of greed for life and fear of death?

"Sir, let's escape from the path."

Another subordinate said.

At present, they just can't escape with a large force, and Hua Jun must have no way to escape a small group of troops.

After all, the Chinese army did not surround them.

"Those who dare to speak out about running away are like this person."

Guo Ruowen showed no mercy and hacked to death the general who proposed to escape.

He would rather die than run away.

As long as he died in battle, the Qing court would definitely treat his family well in order to set an example.

If he escaped, not only would he not survive, but his family would also be implicated.

Family raiding and genocide, women being thrown into military camps as camp prostitutes, life is better than death, these are all possible.

Guo Ruowen's tough attitude made many subordinates resentful.

Some of them were not held hostage because of their lack of rank.

Some people care more about their own lives and don't want to die because of it.

In short, there are only a few people who are willing to accompany Guo Ruowen to death.

At present, they are not sure whether their resistance will be successful, so they dare not act rashly.

On the other side, Xu Yuxian's department is also stepping up to cross the river.

Although, Xu Yuxian knew that with the strength of the 25th Division, he could definitely stop the enemy's breakthrough.

However, that kind of resistance required the sacrifice of a large number of soldiers' lives.

Therefore, for the Huajun, it is best to break through the Zhahe and conduct front and rear pincer attacks.

Zhahe was the psychological defense line of the Qing army. Once Xu Yuxian's troops broke through the Zhahe, they could attack the Qing army from back and forth, and the soldiers of the Qing army would collapse completely when they were attacked by the enemy.

At that time, there will be no hard battles to fight, just happy chasing and killing the defeated soldiers.

The sooner the Zhahe is broken through, the smaller the losses of the Hua army will be.

Therefore, the Ming, Ming and Qing troops have been trapped in this place, but Xu Yuxian can't wait to let the army cross the river with all his strength regardless of casualties, and must achieve the victory in the shortest time.

Xu Yuxian gave a death order, and the people below naturally attached great importance to it and did not dare to neglect it.

More than 12,000 people began to cross the Zha River by force.

The Zhahe River is a river washed out by the waste Yellow River when the Yellow River was diverted. The river surface is not wide and the water is very shallow.

Especially now that the rainy season has not yet arrived, the river is in a dry season, and the deepest water of the Zhahe River is only reaching the human chest.

Facing such a river, Hua Jun adopted the simplest and crudest method, using the soldiers' bodies as pillars to build a pontoon bridge.

Soldiers carrying ladders jumped into the water, lined up in two rows, carrying the ladders at a distance.

Then the soldiers laid the planks, and a simple bridge was declared complete.

Such bridges were built by Hua Jun on nine narrow places on the river.

At the same time, the more than 20 small boats collected were also transporting soldiers to the other side.

Of course, the Qing army would not let the Hua army cross the river. Their men rushed to the river and shot at the soldiers who served as pillars.

These soldiers who served as pillars were very miserable. They could only let the opponent shoot, they couldn't dodge, and they couldn't even fight back.

Some soldiers who were shot, immediately lost their strength and sank into the water.

At such times, soldiers who had been crossing the bridge would jump into the water to supplement the missing pillars.

Fortunately, most of the muskets of the Qing army were concentrated in the hands of the breakout troops, and most of their interception troops were still using cold weapons such as knives and spears.

If they have enough muskets, they may also bring great trouble to the Chinese army.

Sadly, they didn't.

National strength, on the battlefield, is always affecting the direction of the war situation.

At the same time, some Chinese soldiers waiting to cross the river on the south bank also raised their guns and shot at the Qing army on the opposite bank.

The number of their muskets was dozens of times more than the Qing army on the opposite side.

When they started shooting for cover, the Qing army on the opposite side quickly fell in a large area.

They shot more people than they did.

So, they just blocked it symbolically, and quickly left the river.

However, this kind of retreat is equivalent to letting the Chinese army cross the river.

The Qing army also knew the consequences, but there was nothing they could do.

On the battlefield, there is so much helplessness.

When a large number of Chinese troops rushed to the other side, those Qing troops dared to kill them and tore with the Chinese troops.

At this time, the Hua Jun on the opposite side would not dare to fire any more guns, and the Qing army could finally enjoy a little bit of a fair duel.

But the problem is that they are not opponents in a fair match.

The food of the Chinese army is much better than that of the Qing army, so that the physical condition of the soldiers of the Chinese army is much better than that of the Qing army.

This also affects the killing.

The two sides tore and killed for a quarter of an hour. Not only did the Qing army not drive the Chinese army down the river, on the contrary, there were more and more Chinese soldiers on the north bank.

With the increase in the number of Chinese soldiers, the Qing army gradually became unstoppable.

What's worse, with the increase of Chinese soldiers, they also have time to form formations and end the chaos.

After the formation, the Hua army was even more invincible.

Soon, the Qing army responsible for intercepting the Hua army collapsed and began to flee.

Without Guo Ruowen's personal shock, the will of their troops to fight is much worse than Guo Ruowen's team.

The Qing army, which was in chaos, was no longer able to resist the Hua army crossing the river. It didn't take long for Xu Yuxian's troops to cross the Zha River, and then the troops split into two groups.

All the way to kill Guo Ruowen directly, and also separated some people to capture prisoners everywhere.

These defeated soldiers should not be wasted. The construction of Dahua needs them to add bricks and bricks, and there are still many railways to be built in the future.
