I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Seeing that the Qing army took the initiative to lean forward, Wu Jun chose to slow down.

After the Qing army approached, the guns on the Wu army's ship rang again.

This situation made the soldiers on the Qing army ship feel like they wanted to vomit blood, and they were constantly being beaten passively, which was really too embarrassing.

What made them even more embarrassed was at the back. When the two sides kept a distance of more than 20 meters, Wu Jun's ship began to change course and retreated. Going upstream, they kept this distance with the Qing army for the Qing army to touch. not.

Then, the soldiers on their ships kept shooting at the Qing army, and except for a few archers who could give some counterattacks in the Qing army, the rest could only stand and be beaten.

"This......"

The commanders of the Qing army were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a rogue style of play, and they had no idea how to deal with it.

If you can't catch up, if you don't chase it, there's no way to have a catch-up battle.

The new tactics brought by the new weapons made it difficult for them to adapt for a while.

"Ordered to let the soldiers dodge by themselves and hide their figures."

There is really no way, they can only issue a self-protection order to reduce losses.

However, on this big ship, there is no safe place to hide.

Even if you hide behind the plank, at this distance, the plank's defense against bullets is very limited. Using a wooden table to block bullets can only exist in film and television dramas. In fact, even an ordinary fire gun can shred or penetrate two or three centimeters thick wooden boards.

The bulletproof effect of wooden boards is not as good as that of a quilt.

"General, this can't be done, stop chasing, retreat."

Some subordinates couldn't bear the situation where they could only be beaten, so they made suggestions.

Passive beatings like this have a particularly great impact on morale. Soldiers need a hope of winning when they fight. If they don't see this hope, they will be afraid and timid.

And in such a situation where there is no way to fight back, there is no hope of winning.

The commander of the Qing army thought about it for a while, accepted the suggestion, and ordered a retreat.

Where to retreat, he hasn't figured out yet, he just has to make a little change to stabilize the morale of the army and let the soldiers know that he is still thinking of a way, not just waiting.

When they stopped chasing and retreated, they found another very embarrassing problem.

Their task is to destroy the steamship fleet in front of them. If they do not destroy it, their retreat will be cut off.

They are now retreating, at most to the position of the army, and then the Wu army is in front, and there is no retreat at all.

This is too bad, and worse yet to come.

When they started to retreat, Wu Jun's fleet took advantage of their speed to catch up again, and then continued to keep a distance to shoot.

"Despicable, shameless, ah."

The Qing army general slashed angrily on the mast. He was too aggrieved in this battle. He had never fought such a battle where he was passively beaten all the way.

Even if you are ambushed in the valley, you can climb to the mountain for a decisive battle. It is nothing more than a difficult process, but at least there is a way to fight back.

But now, they can't even touch Wu Jun's body, so what is the counterattack.

The advantages of weapons and equipment were brought into full play by the Wu army, and the Qing army was already miserable.

Some Qing soldiers could not see hope and had already jumped into the water to escape. If it weren't for the fact that there were still generals guarding it, more people would escape.

"The enemy's morale is completely gone, and I ordered to prepare for a side battle."

Wu Jun's commander said.

Although flying kites like this is very cool, the speed of killing the enemy is still too slow. Now that the enemy's military morale has collapsed, you can safely engage in hand-to-hand combat.

With the order issued, Wu Jun's ships finally took the initiative to approach Qing's ships.

However, at this time the commander of the Qing army was not happy.

Looking at the dejected soldiers, he also knew that the battle must be lost.

However, before he gave up completely, he raised his sword and shouted: "The enemy has come up on their own initiative, and their melee combat must be very useless. Our opportunity has come, give me a shot, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

Even so, the soldiers of the Qing army are not stupid. If the enemy's hand-to-hand combat is really useless, how can they take the initiative to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Moreover, some of these soldiers also participated in the last battle with Wu Jun, and had seen Wu Jun's formidable combat power and terrifying will to fight.

Hearing the nonsense of the superior at this time, not only did not restore their morale, but made them even more disheartened.

The two sides contacted and entered into hand-to-hand combat.

Rows of bayonets scrambled to stab at each other, as if they were trying to get credit.

The Qing army soon discovered that the Wu army's hand-to-hand combat was more courageous than expected.

The only illusion was also shattered, and the Qing army began to retreat.

Back and back, the people behind have retreated to the edge of the boat, and they will fall into the water if they retreat.

But the soldiers in the front row who are facing the threat of bayonets can't manage so much. They are still desperately pushing back, not wanting to rush ahead.

The defeat was set, and some soldiers with good water simply threw away their weapons and went into the water to escape. As for some people who are not good enough in water, they start to surrender.

Once this wave started, the generals in charge of commanding could not control it.

In desperation, they could only choose to surrender, and of course they would not be stupid enough to fight to the end alone.

only little left

Some of the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers who were in charge of supervising the battle were still resisting, but the number of these people was not large. When facing the Wu army, they were quickly wiped out, and some also chose to surrender.

Although the fighting will of the Eight Banners soldiers is slightly stronger than that of the Han nationality, they are only stronger.

In the many battles between the Wu army and the Qing army, there were already tens of thousands of captured Manchu soldiers.

More than a dozen Qing ships were robbed, and the remaining few continued to retreat.

Seeing the retreating ships, Azali also began to panic.

Being attacked from front and back, the army is in chaos. In this case, the defeat is already set, and even the military gods can't save this situation.

Failure is still a trivial matter, and now Azali is facing a rather embarrassing problem that he has no way out even if he wants to escape.

The risk factor is too high to forcibly impact that steam engine fleet.

Moreover, just through the telescope, Azali also discovered that these monsters with black smoke are much faster than their own sailboats, and they can't escape at all.

The only way for him to escape was to shore south and flee to land.

However, in this way, these ships cannot be preserved and will be wiped out.

This kind of fiasco, even if he escaped back to Luck Dehun, he might lose his life.

Just when Azali was hesitating, Wu Jun had already started a full-scale counter-offensive and stepped up the offensive.

And the Qing army is over, and the soldiers are surrendering and fleeing, and the scene is even more chaotic than the melee just now.

"Withdraw, get to the shore."

Azali reluctantly ordered that if they dragged on, they would not be able to leave.
