I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Make way for the Pyro."

The Chinese soldiers shouted, and then immediately divided several passages in the dense formation for the Pyro to rush to the front.

The Qing army, who was facing off against the Hua army, saw those people with strange things on their backs, and was at a loss for a while.

But they didn't have time to think about it. After the Pyro rushed to the front, they immediately aimed the nozzle at the Qing army, began to shake the handle frantically, and turned on the ignition device.

Immediately, more than a dozen hot flames shot onto the soldiers of the Qing army.

The screams continued one after another.

There are tar and other sticky flammable liquids in these sprayed liquids. Don't expect to get rid of them when they get on your body.

The lethality of the flame launcher is not particularly large. The biggest effect of this thing is deterrence.

After all, what is more terrifying than death is nothing more than a painful death.

Being shot and killed was only a momentary event. Although the soldiers of the Qing army were also afraid, they were not too afraid to fight.

However, the tragic state of those soldiers wrapped in flames completely frightened the remaining Qing army.

Soldiers scorched by flames do not die quickly. The pain of being scorched by fire constantly makes goosebumps all over the body just thinking about it.

Coupled with the pained screams of the soldiers, that scene was really terrifying, like a hell on earth.

Even a veteran soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles shudders when he sees such a picture.

The Huajun's Pyro continued to advance, and was still spraying flames.

The rest of the Qing army immediately began to retreat, trying to avoid its edge. The formation, which was originally extremely dense, suddenly became even more blocked.

Back and forth, the people behind them retreated in front of the supervising team.

Facing the bayonet of the supervising team, they were also afraid.

However, the soldiers in front were still desperately pushing back, forcing the people in the back to collide with the body of the supervising team.

The people who oversee the team naturally won't be polite to them, and they will stab them when they bring their guns.

When preventing a small number of soldiers from fleeing, the supervising team is somewhat useful.

But when everyone wants to escape, the supervising team is actually a decoration. After all, the people who supervise the team are far fewer than those who are supervised.

The soldiers under supervision also had weapons in their hands. When they made up their minds to resist, their combat power was even stronger than that of the supervising team.

I don't know who took the lead first, but one of the team supervisors was stabbed to death.

When this opening was opened, other soldiers also went out. It's better to die under the bayonet than to be burned alive by flames.

A large number of soldiers began to resist spontaneously, killing the supervising team and fleeing quickly.

The more the supervising team escaped, the more excited those soldiers were to kill.

The soldiers on the front line have more or less hatred for the supervising team.

At this point, the gap is officially lost.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hua Jun rushed into the city, and then met the Qing troops who came to the rescue head-on, and the two sides fought together again.

However, the situation at this time was completely different from the fierce battle at the gap just now.

That gap is the psychological defense line of the Qing army soldiers. As long as the gap is not lost, they still have the confidence to defend this family village.

But now that this gap has been broken, those Qing soldiers knew in their hearts that it was futile to continue to struggle.

At this time, they are no longer single-mindedly wanting to defend the battle, but thinking about whether they can find a dwelling to take refuge in the chaos.

At the same time, because the troops who came to support were not equipped with supervisory teams in time, the will of those soldiers to resist was not as good as before. A little more casualties were encountered, and the rest of the people scattered in a hurry.

On the tower, Shang Kexi could only sigh watching this scene.

He remembered a sentence that was mentioned in many battle reports of the Qing army before.

"This war is not a crime of war. Because the enemy's weapons are too advanced, our army was caught off guard."

At this moment, Shang Kexi can truly experience the taste of this sentence.

Just a dozen flamethrowers greatly affected the trend of the battle.

Is this weapon really that powerful? I'm afraid not necessarily, it is nothing more than that everyone has not seen it before, and they are not psychologically prepared, which leads to panic.

After reviewing the many battles in the past and the current situation, Shang Kexi finally understood why Wu Changqing awarded a title to a group of craftsmen at the enthronement ceremony.

At the beginning of Wu Changqing's enthronement ceremony, no matter whether it was an official of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't understand it.

They believe that the most important civil service group gets the least reward.

They can barely understand that the military commander is the most rewarded. After all, Wu Changqing started his life by force.

However, some artisans who made weapons and other machinery were also awarded titles, which was beyond the comprehension of those old-fashioned officials.

They couldn't figure out how someone who was supposed to belong to a lowly rank could be awarded a title.

Even if you make a major contribution, rewarding some money is already a great gift.

Until now, Shang Kexi didn't understand how terrible the role of those craftsmen who engaged in research was to dominate the battle on the battlefield.

Shang Kexi felt that he should also give the Qing court a favor and use the title to attract talents into the research field.

There are only brave men under heavy rewards. If you don’t use the title of title as a temptation, why should those truly talented people stay in the Qing Dynasty? Wouldn’t it be better to go to Dahua to get a title?

"Father, hurry up, we won't be able to leave if we don't evacuate."

Shang Zhixin reminded.

Shang Kexi was not a pedantic person either, so he immediately took his own soldiers and fled across the river from the north gate.

As for the soldiers in the city, there is no way to take this away.

They also had to rely on these soldiers to hold the Ming army, lest the Ming army pursue them.

Shang Kexi and the others ran away secretly, and some of the officers below were not aware of it yet and continued to organize resistance.

However, as the above orders became less and less, some astute officers guessed that they might have been abandoned.

It's stupid to continue to resist now.

Afterwards, some low-ranking and middle-ranking officers of the Qing army began to take the initiative to organize their subordinates to surrender.

This efficiency is much faster than the single surrender of the soldiers, and soon there will be no sound of battle in the city.

After more than two hours, the Taijiazhuang battle was basically over.

In this battle, the Chinese army invested a total of 17,000 people, and the Qing army invested a total of 15,000 people.

The final result was that the Chinese army killed more than 1,400 people and seriously injured more than 100 people.

Lost a battleship, more than 40 artillery pieces, and countless shells.

The Qing army killed more than 2,700 people, escaped more than 1,000 people, lost more than 1,000 people, and the remaining nearly 10,000 people were captured.

Almost all the weapons were seized, and the strategically important Taijiazhuang was also lost.

All in all, the Huajun achieved a moderate victory.

Not too stunning, but not too bad either.

After taking Taijiazhuang, Qian Sule left 2,000 people behind to guard the prisoners and deal with follow-up trivial matters.

And he took 13,000 people and rushed to Xuzhou to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of Xuzhou.
