Chapter 199: War of attrition

The Wu Yi navy only carried less than two thousand flintlock soldiers, and the others were navy soldiers using cold weapons.

Therefore, even if it was the best opportunity to shoot the Qing army at this time, they could not kill too many Qing army.

If they had more flintlock soldiers on board, the navy of the Qing court would probably collapse before them.

And now, after the Qing army paid a painful price, finally, the ship rushing in front arrived in the Wu Jun fleet.

On the boats of the Qing Ting navy army, some hooked spears began to stick out, the kind of large barbed spears.

Hook the spear on the side of Wu Jun's ship to keep the distance between the two ships without colliding or being thrown away.

After the hook gun was fixed, the Qing army began to put down the plank and rushed over the plank.

There are only a few people who can jump onto enemy ships with ropes like professional pirates. Most ordinary people don't have this unique skill and can only step on the board honestly.

The ship was hooked, and Wu Jun also mounted bayonets, preparing for hand-to-hand combat.

The first contact was the navy of both sides, both sides used big swords, flexible and light.

Without the gap of weapons, the two sides quickly fell into a melee.

Compared to on land, Wu Jun does not take advantage of the water, because the formations they usually practice are useless.

Although the deck is not small, it is incomparable to the land. It can't be set up, and the fight is chaotic. It relies on the bravery of the soldiers, which is very detrimental to Wu Jun.

Although the soldiers of the Wu Army are no worse than those of the Qing Army, they are definitely more willing to fight the formation.

Of course, it was just a disadvantage, and it was quite difficult for the Qing army to win.

The Wu Jun's fighting will is much stronger than that of the Qing Army. Even if it falls into a disadvantage, he is still fighting hard to resist.

For a time, both sides are suffering huge losses.

Someone keeps hitting the knife, and someone keeps falling into the water.

As the battle progressed, more and more ships approached each other, and entered the battle. The battle has entered a white-hot battle. At this time, it is impossible to hold it before anyone else.

Whoever can hold on to the end will win the battle.

Because the boats of both sides are now ‘tied’ together, there is no chance of escape.

In this respect, the battle of the navy is far more fierce than the battle of the army.

"Chong, keep going, they are about to be unable to withstand it."

The generals on the Qing army's ship were still shouting slogans, so that the soldiers on the ship continued to rush to the enemy's ship.

It's just that the soldiers are not blind, and all have eyes to see the situation on the battlefield.

Judging from the current situation, they really didn't see any signs of Wu Jun's inability to stand up. On the contrary, some deserters began to appear on the Qing army's side.

Some soldiers with good water quality have already thrown away their weapons while jumping into the river to swim towards the shore.

They would rather be captives or deserters, and don't want to fight again.

The casualties were too tragic, and few soldiers who rushed forward were able to survive. Even if one or several enemies can be killed, there will be enemies immediately afterwards.

In the small space, the corpses were almost piled up into hills, but the enemy still seemed inexhaustible.

This kind of war of attrition with no end in sight and no chance to win is the most tired of soldiers at the bottom. They like the kind of battle where the winner can be divided in an instant, there are rewards if they win, and they can surrender to save their lives if they lose.

Some soldiers have already begun to hesitate to fight, no matter how the generals scolded them, they refused to pass.

A grumpy Zuoling directly slashed a soldier who was hesitant to fight, trying to deter those soldiers.

Most of the time, this method is useful.

But everything has accidents. This time, there were some soldiers on the big ship of the Qing army who had grudges with this Zuoling on weekdays. At this time, the other party was still forcing himself to die, so he was heartbroken. Anyway, both left and right were dead. Before death, he had to pull on the enemy as a cushion and let out a bad breath.

Ever since, the soldier came quietly behind the Zuoling, pierced it with a knife, and the blade emerged from Zuoling's chest.

"Brothers, let's go the other way. If you continue to go to death, you might as well reverse this clean dog."

Usually the Qing court paid them military salaries, and they didn't mind whether they were ruled by the Ming or Qing court. But at this time, anti-Qing is an excellent slogan.

These soldiers didn't want to fight anymore. With such an excuse, there was someone to take the lead, and someone immediately responded.

Several more generals were killed or thrown into the water, and the soldiers of this ship completed the battle anyway.

"General, withdraw, it doesn't make sense to fight anymore."

Azali's subordinates persuaded.

There is a big difference between naval battles and army battles. Even though they have been fighting for a long time, they have fought fiercely, but the overall casualties are not very large.

Because the contact area between the two sides is not large, only six or seven ships are fighting at the same time, and the remaining ships are not in contact with the enemy because they have no positions.

And these ships that did not come into contact were only shot by Wu Jun occasionally, and the loss was not great.

Up to now, there are nearly 8,000 people in the Qing army.

However, in the eyes of some Qing generals, the next battle is no longer necessary.

Wu Jun has recovered from the chaos, and they have no advantage. Even, judging from the scene, their deaths and injuries were much more serious.

A battle without an advantage is at exhaustion.

If you can fight until the opponent collapses first, it's worth it. Unfortunately, most Qing generals did not see this kind of hope. What they saw was that some of their own troops had already collapsed first.

"They all say that the Wu Jun's firearms are powerful. I think their morale is even stronger. In such a fierce battle, there is no sign of their collapse. How do they train the soldiers on weekdays. When did the soldiers of the Han nationality have such bloodliness? Up?"

Azali said to himself that the soldiers of the Han army he met before were all people without the will to fight. When confronted with a bit of headwind, soldiers will surrender in pieces.

But now, what he saw was a Han army with a completely different mental outlook.

His words made some Han generals on the ship feel uncomfortable and ashamed.

Isn't it just them that Azali is talking about bloodless people.

"It is said that Wu Jun's military pay is very high, and his usual food is also very rich. Not only can he get full, but he can often eat meat. This is probably the reason. The hateful thing is that the noble lords in the north have also spent a lot of money to buy Nanjing. Perfume soap mirror. It’s all to blame for this group of people, otherwise Wu Changqing would have so much money to raise the army."

The other more knowledgeable Zuo Ling scolded, and he scolded those noble lords in Beijing.

Because those people are greedy for enjoyment, they have to resist a stronger enemy here, and it is inevitable for them to be angry.

"Withdraw first, consider the long-term plan."

Azali ordered a retreat. Only by preserving the strength of the navy can the Wu Jun cross the river. If all naval forces are all at once, then they will have no strength to stop Wu Jun from advancing west.
