I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Retire the general, we can't stand it anymore."

Xue Guiren found Liu Liangzuo and persuaded him to retreat.

"What are you talking about? Can't stand it. There are only 30,000 people in the Ming army. We have a full 30,000. You told me that you can't stand it?"

Liu Liangzuo said angrily.

"General, where are there still thirty thousand? Liu Hong, Cheng Bing, Liao Qianhu, Wang Qianhu and others don't even know where they are. Moreover, the soldiers on the front line have been defeated by the Ming army's firecrackers and are fleeing in all directions. , The entire camp has been completely chaotic. If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to withdraw later."

Xue Guiren didn't care whether Liu Liangzuo was angry or not, and hurriedly informed him of the current situation. At present, the entire camp can be controlled except for Liu Liangzuo's army. Soldiers in other places have become unavailable and will not find soldiers.

The entire command system has collapsed. Based on years of combat experience, Xue Guiren believes that this time is undoubtedly defeated. Retreating as soon as possible to reduce losses is the most rational choice.

How could this be?

Liu Liangzuo was stunned. He couldn't figure out why his tens of thousands of troops were so vulnerable. He also couldn't figure out why Dong Tianbao surrendered to the weak Ming army.

"withdraw."

At a critical time, Liu Liangzuo chose to save his life. The chaotic situation now puts him in a dangerous situation, and it is very dangerous to continue to stay here.

He still has 20,000 troops around Changzhou. As long as he can flee back with the remnants, he will still have a chance to make a comeback. Staying here to fight to the death, he has not considered this kind of thing.

Liu Liangzuo arranged for the broken troops and began to withdraw to the north with his direct line troops.

The attacking Ming army didn't know Liu Liangzuo was retreating, and if he knew it, he couldn't do anything about it, because the Ming army had too few troops, and he didn't dare to divide his troops easily in the dark.

Therefore, Liu Liangzuo's headquarters retreated smoothly.

However, those troops that did not receive the retreat order were slaughtered by the Ming army in the camp. They did not know whether to retreat or resist, and the opinions among the lower-ranking officers were not uniform.

The number of soldiers who have lost their command is useless.

Many Qing soldiers have begun to surrender in groups, and some of the remaining soldiers are also running around like headless flies. Kneeling down and surrendering cleverly can still have a way to survive, and those who are still stupidly trying to resist are beheaded without exception.

The formed large units couldn't stop the Ming army's firecrackers, let alone such small sporadic units.

The Ming army was advancing rapidly, and the sky gradually lit up. With the withdrawal of Liu Liangzuo's headquarters, the remaining Qing army did not resist very fiercely.

Slowly, the tearing and killing sound in the Qing army camp gradually disappeared, replaced by some shouting and yelling.

Those captured Qing troops were driven to a place to gather.

"Brother Wang, Brother Dai, it is up to you to guard the prisoners. We will continue to pursue the enemy and expand the results."

The actions of the Ming army continued. Chen Shichang led his small cavalry unit to chase the defeated army, and Li Shaobin's unit was also chasing down the main enemy force.

Seeing this situation, Liu Hansan wanted to make more contributions, so he handed over the task of guarding the prisoners to Dai Zhijun and Wang Dayong, and he took the soldiers to chase the defeated army.

In theory, Dai Zhijun is at the same level as Liu Hansan, but after all, he is a latecomer, and his relationship with Wu Changqing is naturally not as good as those of Liu Hansan.

Therefore, it is hard for him to fight against Liu Hansan for taking credit. He can only take over the task of guarding the prisoners, and at the same time send some soldiers around to catch the scattered prisoners.

At dawn, Wu Changqing got the news of the army's great victory and went out of the city to the camp of the Qing army and met Dong Tianbao.

"I have seen General Wu, I will fulfill my mission at the end and have successfully completed the mission."

Dong Tianbao's expression is not very good, because his troops have suffered a lot of losses. Some soldiers were killed in the process of arson. Later, he fought fiercely with Liu Liangzuo's main force for more than ten minutes, and he lost a total of more than 1,100 people.

Before he came to Suzhou, he used to be a 6,000 soldiers, but now he has only more than 2,600 soldiers, which is more than half of his losses.

"General Dong is fortunate, and this victory over General Dong should be remembered for his first merit."

Wu Changqing laughed and said, this time it really relied on Dong Tianbao's anyway. Without his attacking inside and out anyway, it would not be easy to defeat Liu Liangzuo's tens of thousands of troops.

Although they burned their grain, but as long as Liu Liangzuo returned to Wuxi or Changzhou cautiously, Wu Changqing couldn't help him.

The Jiangnan area is under the rule of the Qing army, and it is relatively easy to get some rations.

"Thank you, sir."

Dong Tianbao felt better when he heard that he had made a first effort. According to Wu Changqing's guarantee, he can also quickly recover his strength.

"What are the losses and results of the ministries?"

Wu Changqing looked at the camp of the Qing army. There were smoking charred woods, corpses in all directions, and black and white prisoners.

"Report to the general. According to statistics so far, our army has killed more than 1,300 people, including 705 people in General Dong's department, and 621 people in the remaining departments. 343 people were seriously injured and 748 people were slightly injured.

Killed about 4,000 enemy troops and captured about 9,000 enemy troops. At present, the generals are still chasing and killing the defeated army. It is estimated that the results of the battle can be further expanded..."

"Okay, the generals are doing very well."

Wu Changqing was in a very good mood, especially when he heard that more than 1,000 enemy horses had been captured, he was even more happy.

These days, the value of a horse can be more precious than a soldier, especially in the south where horses are scarce. After capturing these horses, he can form his own cavalry unit.

Defeating the 40,000 army of the Qing court by the number of eight thousand, this result can be described as the biggest victory for the Ming Dynasty since the battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

And this victory was created by him.

At this moment, he was naturally energetic and hated an improvisational poem.

Unfortunately, most of the ancient poems he remembered were from the Tang and Song dynasties, and there was no way to plagiarize.

As for writing by himself, this Wu Changqing is self-aware and will not show his ugliness. If you write a **** poem, your subordinates have to endure disgusting compliments, and the style of painting is also quite embarrassing.

It was not until the afternoon that all the chasing troops returned.

According to statistics, in the follow-up pursuit, the Ming army killed another 1,000 enemy troops and captured about 4,000 prisoners.

And Liu Liangzuo’s troops who fled back to Wuxi probably didn’t even have 6,000. The remaining soldiers who were scattered either became gangsters, or chose to throw away their weapons and return to their hometown, or went to other places to find the army to seek refuge.

Liu Liangzuo's army was completely injured.

He didn't even stay in Wuxi any more, leaving one to three thousand people stationed in Wuxi, while the rest were evacuated to Changzhou.

In addition to killing the enemy, the Ming army also seized more than 1,000 war horses, more than 2,000 old-style blunderbuss, 2,000 bows and arrows, and a large number of arrows. As for weapons such as swords and spears, there were even more.

The value of these ordnances has reached hundreds of thousands, and in this era of war, it is difficult for money to buy so many ordnances and war horses at once.

With this batch of ordnance, Wu Changqing can also carry out the next army expansion without letting the soldiers train with that stick.

As for the captives of as many as 13,000, Wu Changqing once again had a headache, and the number was too much.

These people cannot surrender all at once, otherwise it will have a great impact on the original troops and bring great instability. If you are an army alone, your loyalty is another problem.

He first asked Dong Tianbao to select more than two thousand people in it to supplement. Because of his acquaintance with some of the Qing generals inside, Dong Tianbao could control the soldiers more easily.

Dong Tianbao wanted to ask for more, but Wu Changqing set the number as soon as he opened his mouth, and he did not dare to object.

With more than two thousand people added, his troops can also recover to five thousand. Under Wu Changqing's men, he is already the general with the most troops, and he is quite satisfied with this situation.

Then Dai Zhijun and other generals picked out 5,000 people from the prisoners and added them to their respective armies. The remaining more than 5,000 people were temporarily imprisoned and slowly digested.

After this battle, Chen Shichang was the one who would benefit the most. His two-hundred cavalry force immediately expanded to 1,200.

Thousands of cavalry are already a force that cannot be underestimated.

Last month, he was just a hundred households. Thanks to the capture of Wu Shengzhao, he has now risen to the position of guerrilla.

What's more, the cavalry force is crucial.
