I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Don't panic, line up to meet the enemy."

Xue Guiren, who was on the front line, shouted that he was calm and did not order to retreat.

At this time, the order to retreat was even faster. For the small broken boats and pontoon bridges along the river, at most a few hundred people could be transported to retreat at one time.

There is no shortage of people, but there is unevenness. If the soldiers who resisted in the front knew that the people in the rear were retreating, they would be even more unwilling to fight.

Rather than this, it is better to order the entire army to rush up and fight. After all, in terms of the number of troops, they are not at a big disadvantage, and reinforcements will arrive at any time.

If they can persist until the reinforcements come, they can rely on the strength of their troops to conduct a full-scale attack in other directions.

Under the command of Xue Guiren, other generals ordered formations one after another, and tens of thousands of Qing soldiers moved tremblingly under the scolding of the generals.

Encountered an ambush, regardless of whether their side has an advantage, the soldiers will be more panic. After all, as a soldier, it is actually difficult for them to distinguish whether their side has an advantage or a disadvantage.

The Ming army approached, and the two armies met within 150 meters. The Ming army's flintlock troops stopped, and then more than 3,000 people aimed at the Qing army and started a long-distance salvo.

At this distance, the Qing army could only be beaten. A small number of archer troops could not shoot so far, and could not fight back.

As soon as a gunshot rang out, nearly 100 Qing troops fell.

Although the hit rate of the flintlock gun at this distance is not high, the Qing army is too dense in this small area.

"Charge, rush past them and it's over."

Xue Guiren shouted, and then the Qing army began to take the initiative to approach, and they had to face each other to have a chance to win.

Liu Liangzuo in the rear had already received the news of the plan, but at this time the tens of thousands of troops in front had already exchanged fire with the Ming army, and he had to continue to send troops to support him.

Sending troops in the past relies on the superiority of troops, and there is still a chance to win the battle. But if they retreat now, the 10,000-strong army across the river will be in danger.

Abandoned son is not so abandoned, that is one-third of his troops, giving up is really hurt.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield has been difficult to be controlled by someone, and it can only continue to follow the laws of the battlefield.

The Qing army rushed for dozens of meters, the Ming army fired a second round of salvos, and the Qing army fell again.

Qian Sule was stunned watching the battle with binoculars in the distance. Now he can really feel the impact of advanced weapons on the war.

Whether it is the flintlock gun used to kill the enemy, or the telescope used for observation in the hand, it can play a great role if used well.

This telescope was assigned to them by Wu Changqing. After the glass technology was developed, the manufacture of the telescope became much simpler. Currently, Wu Changqing's troops have one general above the battalion commander.

"Tsk tsk, how can I get close to them with an ordinary spear?"

Xiong Rulin put himself under the command of the lower Qing army, thinking about what to do in such a situation?

"Probably, you can only attack from the flanks with the advantage of superior troops, or use cavalry to charge at high speed. Other than that, this kind of troops really has no weaknesses."

Qian Sule said that if there are a large number of artillery or cavalry, it can also pose some threats to this flintlock army. It is too difficult to defeat this kind of flintlock troop just relying on ordinary infantry armed with swords and spears.

Before they even rushed to the front, they suffered two rounds of shooting. About hundreds of people were lost, and the casualty rate had reached 10%, which was close to the collapse line of the soldiers.

The current Qing army is also trying to launch the main attack from the two wings, but the two wings of the Ming army are more than 5,000 people from Dong Tianbao and more than 7,000 people from Qian Sule.

Such a strong line of defense, it is not so easy to break through.

When the troops on the two flanks met, they immediately became entangled. The Qing army in the middle army suffered a third round of blows at close range. The number of casualties of the Qing army in this round was as high as nearly 1,500 people, more than the previous two rounds combined.

"Counter-charge."

Li Shaobin ordered, and those generals blew their whistle to attack.

After three rounds of salvos, more than 5,000 Chinese troops in the Qing court had nearly collapsed. It's just that I rushed too fast at the beginning, and I couldn't stop the car at this time.

The well-trained main force of the Ming army immediately moved forward with their guns, forming a forest of swords and stabbing the Qing army.

At this time, they showed their elite side, and they didn't just bully people by shooting at a distance. In fact, on weekdays, they have very little time for continuous shooting, and most of the time is in continuous large-scale bayonet battles.

Unfortunately, they have never had the opportunity to use this kind of training results before.

And now, the bravery of the Qing army has given them a chance.

The heroic Qing army also paid the price for their bravery.

The neat bayonet stabbed all at once, and the Qing army in front had no room to escape. Whether it is forward, left or right, it is a bayonet, and it will die.

The only way to survive is to retreat. Driven by instinct, many Qing soldiers collapsed and turned around and started to retreat.

In fact, as long as they continue to move forward and stab the Ming army in a life-for-life manner, they can also cause a lot of damage to the Ming army.

However, they did not dare to do so. Killing the enemy and saving one's own life is obviously the most important thing to save one's own life.

In fact, the soldiers of the Ming army were afraid to die in this almost life-for-life charging mode.

The formation is so dense, there is no room to dodge, and the military regulations stipulate that you are not prepared to dodge, and life and death are all up to you.

Luck, this is extremely psychologically stressful for soldiers.

However, they were afraid that they would be afraid, but their legs continued to move forward.

They have done this kind of training countless times. At this time, they can only do mechanical assassination and forward movements in line with the pace of their comrades, and must not do anything else.

When training on weekdays, even if they walked a little bigger than others and affected the formation, they would be whipped. Under the severe punishment, these soldiers have formed an instinctive reaction, that is, they must keep the same action as their comrades and must not make mistakes.

When all soldiers have this idea, the army will become very scary.

In the eyes of the Qing army, the troops in front of them seemed to have no fear, and they were not afraid of life and death like walking dead.

This kind of momentum brought great psychological pressure to the Qing army and completely destroyed their psychological defense line. They did not want to fight a group of corpses.

The central army of the Qing army completely collapsed, and then began to flee backwards, which made the Qing army on the left and right immediately panic. Originally, they only needed to pay attention to the enemy in front of them. However, after the collapse of the Chinese army, they must always be wary of the enemy from the side and beware of being pinched.

The biggest problem of being pinched is not that there are too many enemy troops, but that the formation of one's own side is not well arranged, and the contact surface that needs to be defended is too large.

All the troops were afraid of being attacked. Liu Liangzuo's troops were not elite, and they were even more afraid of this disadvantageous situation. It's okay to let them fight a dozen tailwinds, and they don't have the ability to turn a defeat into a victory in the face of adversity.

After seeing the collapse of the central army, the generals on the left and right flanks immediately began to organize a retreat, leaving a small number of people to continue to entangle the Ming army, while they fled with a large army.
