Chapter 232: Set fire to the city

"Haven't the wall taken back yet?"

Lukedhun asked anxiously, but his subordinates dared not answer.

Want to regain the city wall, how easy it is.

The longer the delay, the more disadvantaged they are.

Luck Dehun wanted to conceal the news of the fall of the city wall, but in such a chaotic battlefield, how could it be concealed.

It didn't take long for the soldiers on the other walls to learn that a section of the wall was lost, and a large number of Ming troops flooded into the city.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone's hearts.

The reason why they haven't collapsed before is because they are leaning on this wall, which can bring them some sense of security.

But now the city walls are all lost, the last line of defense has also been declared collapsed, and the soldiers are already in a panic because they can't control it.

And at this time, Wu Jun also began a new round of offensive.

The Qing army, who was already on the verge of collapse, instantly lost its fighting spirit. Everyone wants to escape to save their lives, not to fight the enemy courageously.

Wu Jun took the opportunity to attack the top of the city and began an all-out attack.

"General, retreat quickly, you can't stop it."

The army was defeated like a mountain, even if they had at least nearly 60,000 troops in the city at the moment, but it was useless. Once the army was defeated, these soldiers would be like a group of scattered sand, unable to organize to resist.

Let alone a counterattack at the moment, it is very difficult to even organize an orderly escape from the soldiers. When people are in a panic, it is difficult to maintain their sense.

In this era, there are no telephones or telegraphs, and the communication between the various units is very difficult. After falling into chaos, it is very difficult to send orders to the troops below.

"Oh, losing so many troops at once, what face do I have to run away again."

Lucde sighed, even if he fled back to the north, he couldn't bear the guilt of defeat. It would be light to slash the nobility and go to the official position, maybe it is possible to go to jail.

In this battle, he lost a full 110,000 troops, one-seventh of the total strength of the Qing army.

It was another traumatic battle. Boluo's defeat before, and the Qing army hasn't slowed down until now. As a result, he now has another defeat, which is just worse.

"General, stay with the green hills. I'm not afraid that there is no firewood. If you don't withdraw, it will be too late."

His subordinates quickly reminded.

In other words, Lekhedhun said that he still didn't want to die, otherwise there would be no ship ready to escape.

"The messenger listened to the order and ordered Gong Adai to gather the remnants as much as possible, retreat to Nanchang, and defend in Nanchang, to contain the enemy. Order Azhali, gather the remnants and set fire to the city, resist to the end, and buy time for Gong Adai. Tell them two, I Will give preferential treatment to their families."

Before leaving, Luc Dehun also made some arrangements.

He himself didn't want to go to Nanchang, the dead place, so he told Gong Adai to go. As long as some soldiers can be withdrawn, they can more or less contain the Wu army.

At the same time, he frantically ordered Azali to set fire to the city, creating chaos, and at the same time retaliating against Wu Jun.

Anyway, Jiujiang was already in Wu Jun's pocket, and Lucky Dehun wanted to use this method to disgust Wu Jun. Don't expect others to get what you can't get.

This is probably his last struggle.

Apart from disgusting Wu Jun, he couldn't do much else.

Arranged for the funeral, Luc Dehun led some soldiers and some important generals aboard the boat that was prepared for the matter.

Although Wu Yi's navy blocked the Yangtze River, it was mainly the large fleet. There were too many boats coming out to fish, and it was impossible for Wu Jun to search one by one, and he didn't have that many troops.

Luck Dehun and others took advantage of this and tried to escape by fishing in troubled waters.

In Jiujiang City, Gong Adai and Azhali both received orders.

Gong Adai kicked a helmet when he received the order, and he knew he had been abandoned. Leke Dehun asked him to take his troops to Nanchang, obviously he wanted him to die.

After arriving in Nanchang, there is really no way to escape. Enemies are on all sides, and they are all mortal enemies.

Moreover, whether he can withdraw to Nanchang alive is still a question.

Although he knew it was a dead end, Gong Adai didn't dare to violate it.

Luck Dehun has said that he will treat his family favorably, meaning that if he does not execute the order, his family will become slaves and his wife and daughter will become prostitutes.

Moreover, he actually has no choice. Even if he disobeyed the order and fled back to the north, he couldn't afford the punishment for disobeying the military order.

Therefore, Gong Adai could only grit his teeth to execute the order.

He began to gather those units that were still established and controllable, and then began to retreat from the west.

Now what Wu Jun has broken is only the east wall, and the west wall is still in their hands.

Just as depressed as Gong Adai was Azali. He received an order after the break, which was worse than Gong Adai, which meant that he had to retreat last.

The danger in this is too high, and there is almost no possibility of retreat, and leaving behind is tantamount to waiting for death.

However, he also faced the same dilemma as Gong Adai, and did not dare to disobey the order.

Unless he is selfish enough, regardless of his family, he only cares about his own life, death and prosperity. In that case, he could surrender to Wu Jun.

Given his position in the Qing army, his surrender to Wu Jun would be very welcome, and it is another example that can be used for propaganda.

Unfortunately, Azari still couldn't let go of his family after all.

As a result, Azari began to order fire in the city, and at the same time began to slaughter the city, launching crazy revenge.

With this order, the people in the city suffered.

Facing the vicious and frenzied Manchu soldiers, these people hardly have much resistance. I can't even find a decent kitchen knife at home, how can I resist?

Some Manchu soldiers were unwilling to fail, and at this time they could only vent their resentment of failure to the people.

Men and children were killed directly, and some soldiers would release the animal desires in their busy schedule when they met women.

In addition to killing people, these people also set fires everywhere in the city, causing chaos and causing trouble to Wu Jun.

Most of the houses in this era are wooden houses, which can be easily lit.

All of a sudden, the city was full of flames, and people like headless flies rushed around, and the city was completely in chaos.

Experienced soldiers knew as soon as they saw the fire in the city that the Qing army had been defeated. Only if you are defeated and want to escape, will you deliberately create chaos like this.

Ever since, the remaining Qing soldiers who were still resisting began to flee and surrender in the chaos.

Even if the coach ran away, it was even more impossible for these soldiers to continue to resist. It was not worth it.

Only Azari’s troops are still being forced to resist because of Azari’s existence at this time.

However, this kind of resistance is also temporary. The mood of soldiers in the army has become increasingly unstable, and there is a risk of collapse at any time.
