Chapter 162： One-sided battle

On the other hand, the Ming Army’s situation was a little better, and it did not collapse so quickly.

However, the defenders here were also very aggrieved, because Wu Jun didn't even rush up, but kept shooting from a distance.

Wu Jun is in charge of this section of the city wall is the Fire Brigade, they like to give play to their advantages in long-range attacks.

Although the rate of fire is slow, there is no danger in shooting from a distance. The archers of the Ming army were all transferred to the big gap, and the defenders here were only swords and shields.

Since you can kill the enemy from a distance, why bother to get closer?

The main task of attacking the city is not on them either, they are just constraining the enemy's forces here.

Facing the blunderbusters who could strike at a long distance, these defenders were in a dilemma.

Retreat, and the enemy can rush into the wall, which is worse. Don't retreat, you can only stand and be beaten. As for rushing out to fight melee? The generals of the Ming army also did not consider.

After all, they are the defenders of the city. How can there be any reason to take the initiative to attack? Wouldn't it be a complete abandonment of the advantage of the city wall?

Although they no longer have the advantage of the city wall, their minds can't be turned around for a while, and they didn't expect to take the initiative to attack.

Defending the city should wait for others to attack. This concept has affected the judgment of those generals.

However, they soon found out that the feeling of standing and being beaten was too awkward.

Some soldiers thought of using shields to protect themselves, but unless it was a thicker iron shield, it had a little defensive effect.

Other wooden shields and leather shields looked fragile when faced with this kind of firecrackers.

Don't look at that matchlock gun is extremely simple, but its power is really great.

"My lord, you can't stand and be beaten like this anymore, let's rush over to fight."

Several hundred households begged the superior, even if they rushed past, it was better to stand and be beaten.

"Okay, rush over."

Yuan Dakai had no other better way, so he obeyed the suggestions of his subordinates and ordered a charge.

When Wu Jun's head of a thousand households saw the opponent rushing over, he immediately laughed. Ordered: "Stop shooting, and all reloads are ready for the final round of volley."

Now free shooting can still cause damage, but this scattered damage has no deterrent effect, and it is far less scary than close-range volleys.

The soldiers in the two rows in front of Wu Jun loaded their ammunition one after another, and then raised their guns to prepare.

When the enemy was less than ten meters away, the officer gave an order to shoot.

With the sound of gunshots, the soldiers rushing in front of the Ming army fell down in rows, even the posture of falling down was quite neat.

When the soldiers who were still charging saw this situation, they couldn't help but stop.

In fact, as long as they continue to charge, they can enter a hand-to-hand battle, and Wu Jun has no time to reload.

However, seeing the hundreds of people rushing in front fall collectively, I am afraid that it is not people who dare to continue to charge at this time, but the devil.

"charge."

At this time, Wu Jun took the initiative to launch a charge.

In terms of momentum, they already have the absolute upper hand.

Hand-to-hand combat is an imposing manner.

The low morale soldiers of the Ming Army saw the Tiger Wolf Division who took the initiative to rush over. There was no fighting spirit.

These descendants were originally organized temporarily, and the opponent's Guoan has no loyalty to speak of.

Seeing that the battle was not going well, some soldiers turned around and fled.

The Ming army formation, which was already at a disadvantage, was in chaos again, and the front line collapsed at the touch of a touch.

Wu Jun didn't waste any strength, and went from confrontation between the two armies to a unilateral pursuit. There was a little bit of a play in this battle.

Two gaps fell one after another, and Fang Guoan on the city wall was desperate for the report.

At the reminder of the soldiers, he recovered and ran away.

As long as he could escape, he was still the grandfather of the imperial court. If Wang Dayong is caught here, not only will he lose face, but even his life will be insecure.

Judging from the unscrupulous offensive behavior of Wang Dayong and others, it is obvious that they cannot be expected to put the title of Lord Guo in their eyes.

Even the main general started to flee, and the other generals and soldiers had no intention of fighting again.

Ever since, Xu Wenwei, Yuan Dakai and others took the initiative to command the soldiers to begin collective surrender.

They did not need to bear any psychological pressure to surrender, unlike the surrender of the Qing army to bear infamy. They surrendered to Wu Changqing, who was also Daming's army.

This kind of surrender is nothing unfaithful or unfilial.

The organized surrender of officers is much faster than the spontaneous surrender of soldiers. Everyone throws their weapons on the ground and it is done.

Approaching the evening, Wu Jun completely controlled Xuancheng.

According to statistics, in this campaign, they killed more than 3,000 Ming troops and captured more than 16,000 people. Fang Guoan also took away more than 12,000 direct troops.

Wu Jun only lost more than 900 people in battle, not more than a thousand, and the loss was very small.

The main reason was that the Ming army collapsed so quickly that none of them encountered too much resistance.

This is also the most typical feature of the Ming army. Throughout the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there has been almost no battle involving tens of thousands of casualties.

As long as a few hundred people die, the army will collapse and surrender.

It was precisely because they were so unconvinced that the Qing army was able to destroy all the way. Otherwise, with the small size of the Qing army, they would not be able to stand one or two heavy losses.

Just like the battle between the Qing army and Wu Changqing, a fiasco was traumatized and the whole country shook. Until now, it hasn't recovered its vitality, and the southward journey is far away.

Even some ministers of the Manchu and Qing dynasties hoped that Dorgon would rule by the river, and they hoped to negotiate with Wu Changqing. The south of the Yangtze River belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the north of the Yangtze River belongs to the Qing Dynasty.

They can no longer afford the loss of hundreds of thousands of people being wiped out, and they have shaken their belief in uniting China.

"Old Liu, should we ask the general to let us go east and take down Guangde, Huzhou and other places as well."

Wang Dayong looked at the map and suggested.

Xuancheng and Guangde are all mountains to the south. As long as Guangde and Huzhou are taken, they can control the most military points with the least force and occupy a larger territory.

Moreover, Guangde and Huzhou are both plains, important grain-producing areas and very valuable for occupation.

"Is there anything else to ask? It will take several days to come back and forth, and it will miss the opportunity. I will personally lead people to pursue them early in the morning and grab these two places."

What Wang Dayong did not expect was that Liu Hansan was more radical than him.

"However, the task the general gave us does not include occupying Guangde and Huzhou. If we rush to attack, what should the court blame the general on?"

Wang Dayong worried.

"You are confused, Dayong, don't you understand what our general is thinking? We don't have to pay attention to the royal court of King Lu. The most important thing is to eat the benefits. Believe it or not, as long as we make our own The general will be very happy if he advocates winning Huzhou.

Because the imperial court blamed it, the general could also pass the blame on us. Maybe we have to be punished on the surface, but we will definitely get more benefits in the future. "

Liu Hansan smiled.

He knew that Wu Changqing had to take fame into consideration, and it would certainly not be good for him to tear his face with the court. Even if you want to occupy Huzhou in your heart, you must find a good excuse.

At this time, if these subordinates were able to occupy the territory first, they would be sharing the worries for Wu Changqing.
