I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"What about people, why is that so?"

When Ah Shan saw that there were only less than 2,000 soldiers who came to support him, he was immediately angry.

There were at least 10,000 soldiers in the house in the city, but only 2,000 came. What's the situation?

What can these two thousand people do?

In hand-to-hand combat, numbers are very important.

The more people there are, the more confident your own soldiers will be.

"Sir, the situation is not right, let's escape first."

The subordinates persuaded that the situation in front of him did not seem to be able to hold.

If they don't retreat, they might be captured alive.

"Escape, escape to? If our soldiers are like this, where else can we escape."

Ah Shan said angrily that he would go to the city in person and rely on his prestige to urge those soldiers to fight.

Ah Shan came to the city. As the coach, he had accumulated a lot of majesty for a long time, and many soldiers and generals did not dare to disobey.

Although they were reluctant, they also took up their weapons and followed Ah Shan to the city wall.

However, it was already too late.

There were not many Qing troops on the city wall, and few people came to support them, so they could not stop the impact of the Hua army.

Especially after Ah Shan left, there was not a heavyweight figure in the field, and those soldiers began to flee boldly.

When Ah Shan arrived again with his people, the Hua army had already firmly occupied the city wall.

Then, the Hua army would not have to fight for casualties with the Qing army.

The Fusiliers entered the city and bullied the Qing army by their firing range.

They wanted to force the Qing army out of the city so they could pursue it outside the city and be safer.

Street fighting in the city, because of the complex terrain, is prone to accidents and losses after all.

Facing Hua Jun's pressing step by step, Ah Shan was in a dilemma again.

Fighting to the death with Hua Jun, it is easy to suffer a big loss if you rush up.

But if they don't rush over, they won't be able to hit Hua Jun.

If you choose to escape and retreat, the risk factor is not low. It is more difficult to control the army during the escape, and it is easier to be defeated by the Hua army chasing behind.

"Kill the past, we have no way out, the city gates have fallen."

Ashan shouted.

He deceived his subordinates and wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

Under his orders, the Qing army launched a charge against the Chinese army.

The ending was, of course, horrific.

To charge the flintlock troops is to court death, which has been proven countless times.

Before rushing to the front of the Hua army, the Qing soldiers who rushed in front were already dead.

The people who followed behind saw this picture of hell, and they dared to fight again.

However, it was very easy to escape in the street fighting in the city. Some soldiers turned a corner halfway and entered another street without worrying about being caught by the commanding officer.

Some soldiers rushed to the houses and hid.

With heavy casualties and serious escapes, there were not one out of ten soldiers who could rush to the Chinese army.

With just this few people, when facing the bayonet forest of the Chinese army, they did almost nothing, that is, they killed a dozen or so hapless Chinese soldiers.

And they were almost wiped out.

"Sir, nothing can be done, withdraw."

Ah Shan's subordinates were really in a hurry at this time. Anyone with discernment could see that they were defeated, and there was no point in struggling any more.

"Hey, why did I, a soldier of the Eight Banners, suddenly become so vulnerable."

Ah Shan couldn't figure it out, couldn't understand.

In the past, he followed Nurhaci, followed Huang Taiji, and fought many battles with the Ming army.

In many cases, their troops are at a disadvantage, but they are often able to kill the enemy heroically, and finally the weak overcome the strong.

But now, he clearly occupies the advantage of the military force, and he is still the one who defends the city, occupying the advantage of the geographical location, but the result is that he is collapsed at a touch, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit.

He couldn't figure out why the soldiers of the Eight Banners, who used to be incomparably heroic, suddenly degenerated into such a state.

In fact, the reason for this is very simple.

Humans are a species of bullying.

The Ming army is more waste than them, and they naturally appear heroic.

However, when they encountered Hua Jun, who was also not afraid of death and had superior weapons, they immediately revealed their true nature.

In the final analysis, it is not that the Eight Banners soldiers have fallen, but they have encountered more powerful opponents.

At the same time, the Huajun seems to be strong now, but it is not necessarily how brave they are.

If there is a unit equipped with machine guns now, they can kill the Chinese army like the Eight Banners soldiers who are fleeing everywhere.

Ah Shan obviously doesn't understand this logic very well, and he has lost his way because he can't figure out the reason.

That is, not to continue to organize resistance, and not to retreat immediately, a bit self-defeating.

In the end, his subordinates and personal soldiers couldn't stand it any longer, so they directly raised him, and then fled with some diehards.

After escaping the city gate, they were chased and killed by the Chinese cavalry.

One is fleeing in a hurry, the other is preparing for a long time.

After the contact, the Qing army was defeated again.

Ah Shan's personal soldiers did their best to protect their lives, constantly relying on tail-breaking tactics to delay the Hua army, and finally rescued Ah Shan.

However, this doesn't really affect the overall situation.

Hua Jun's response to the Qing army

Generals have never paid much attention.

Escaping a general has absolutely no effect on them.

The sky was getting dark, and the city of Suqian gradually returned to calm.

The battle was over and the casualty report was counted.

Tang Guozhen's face was not very good. There were not more than 1,000 soldiers killed in the battle, only more than 800, but more than 100 were seriously injured.

Whether these people can be saved is also a question.

More importantly, among those soldiers who died in battle, there were more than 30 airmen.

The value of these soldiers is not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

Training a qualified air force is ten times more difficult than training an ordinary soldier.

And also lost a lot of hydrogen balloons, the manufacture of this thing is not easy. The loss of the Air Force this time is catastrophic.

If the cause of the machine failure is not figured out, those airmen are not afraid to go to the sky again.

After all, once an accident occurs in the sky, it is certain to die.

In the aspect of battle damage, Tang Guozhen can only be regarded as barely qualified, and he does not need to be punished for military orders.

Fortunately, in terms of harvest, the results are brilliant.

A total of more than 2,100 enemy troops were killed, and those who were seriously injured were also directly killed with a knife, which was counted as beheading.

The captured enemy army numbered more than 13,000, a considerable number.

Many Qing soldiers fled lazily. In this cold weather, it was difficult to escape from the city to find food, and the probability of surviving was very low.

Instead of running away, it is better to surrender to Hua Jun and work for Da Hua. At least, working hard for Dahua can at least be fed and clothed.

There were more than 4,000 missing Qing troops who escaped. Whether these people can escape to Xuzhou alive is a question.

In addition to the personnel, a lot of weapons were seized, and there was also a lot of food.

All in all, this battle is still earned.
