Chapter 150： Leak crisis

After gaps in multiple formations, the battlefield became chaotic.

Some Wu Jun continued to shoot and reload, and some were already using bayonet knives to fight the Qing army.

As for the artisans, most of them were trembling with fright, and there were also a few brave people who lit their grenades with fire folds and threw them at the Qing army.

This kind of craftsman who specializes in making grenades actually has experience in throwing grenades.

Qi Shang was fighting carefully while observing the situation of the battle.

Wu Jun's stubborn resistance far exceeded his estimation.

Qishang knows very well that it is no longer realistic to defeat this Wu army and rob a large number of craftsmen.

In desperation, he could only retreat to the next best thing, and even if he was ready to take a few.

After making up his mind, he rushed to the biggest gap, letting the soldiers and Wu Jun on both sides tore them to death, but he jumped off his horse, grabbed a craftsman, and caught him immediately.

Several other Manchu cavalrymen followed him when they saw it, and dismounted and arrested people. There are skilled riders who can catch people even without dismounting.

These honest craftsmen, in the face of murderous demons, naturally not many people dare to resist.

All of a sudden, Qi Shang and several soldiers caught the craftsman, and then turned around and fled.

They didn't bother to care about the rest, anyway, as long as they could get the secret of the flintlock, these five hundred people would be worth it.

"Turn the fire, shoot those people, and never let them run away."

Li San saw that a craftsman was arrested and almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

The other soldiers were also aware of the seriousness of the matter, and they took time to turn to fire and fired at those who fled.

It's just that, except for the quicker responders who hit a few Qing troops, the rest were all lost.

After all, the speed of horses can be quite fast, ran to tens of meters away in a few seconds. And at this distance, if the flintlock wants to hit the enemy, it can only rely on intensive shooting.

Without intensive shooting, you can only rely on luck.

Some other Qing troops who hadn't died saw Qi Shang taking the lead in fleeing, and they all followed suit.

However, only a few lucky people can run away, and most of them are left behind.

"Immediately rush to Danyang and Zhenjiang, let them send people to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to set up a jam to intercept the enemy."

Li San's military literacy was fairly good, and immediately based on the situation, it was concluded that the fastest way for the enemy to escape to the north was to go directly northward into the Yangtze River through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Danyang.

However, Li San was still a step slower after all.

Qishang's action this time has been meticulously planned several times, and he has already done a good job of dealing with various situations.

After successfully hijacking the craftsmen this time, they got on the ship before the Danyang officers and soldiers set up the card and fled wildly northward.

On the bow, Qi Shang was still sighing.

This time he lost more than 480 subordinates, and only 20 of them fled back to the ship with him.

And their harvest is only three craftsmen, four flintlocks, two grenades and one howitzer shell.

Of the remaining twenty subordinates, all of them are still lingering. This is the most dangerous mission they have ever performed. It is almost equivalent to a walk through the gate of a ghost.

On the other hand, Li San's mood was extremely bad.

Although he has sent someone to report the letter, he also knows that the other party is here prepared, and there is little hope of intercepting the other party.

Thinking that the secret of the flintlock might be leaked, he felt ashamed.

At this time, the people above will definitely not spare him. Demotion is the best result. Maybe he will be beheaded.

"My lord, after checking, it can be determined that of the three abducted, two were making grenades and one was a craftsman who made springs. They did not catch the craftsmen who made flint and wanted to get the secret of flintlocks thoroughly. I'm afraid it's no show."

It is a blessing in the misfortune to report the loss in the next report.

The three core technologies of flintlock guns are known for manufacturing barrels, and now they have hope to master the spring technology, but they still lack flint technology.

"Maybe, didn't they still **** a few guns? Through dismantling, they will be able to study the manufacturing technology of flint sooner or later. After all, this is not a particularly advanced technology. Don't underestimate those clean dogs."

Li San is still pessimistic.

Later, Li San took these craftsmen back to Danyang, and he had already issued a request for support.

Without the guardianship of heavy soldiers, he dared not go on the road anymore.

The distress news reached Nanjing, and several military leaders also took it seriously.

They keep winning the battle, relying on advanced weapons to suppress the enemy. If this secret is leaked, this advantage will disappear in the future.

"This trash Li San, I want to kill him."

Liu Hansan cursed.

"I can't completely blame him. After all, the enemy came well prepared. The tiger and wolf division must be dispatched. Li San was able to withstand the impact of 500 cavalry, slaying more than 450 enemy troops and taking more than 20 prisoners. It's already pretty good.

Moreover, the enemy only caught the craftsman who made the spring, but not the craftsman who made the flint. They might not be so easy to make the flintlock. "

Li Shaobin defended Li San because Li San was his subordinate. If he can't save the lives of his subordinates, he will lose his face, and the people who follow him will be disappointed in him.

Therefore, even if Li Shaobin wanted to cut Li San a thousand times at this time, he still wanted to speak for Li San.

"You are talking about lightness, what if the Qing army makes a flintlock?"

Liu Hansan coldly snorted, his relationship with Li Shaobin is no longer as close as before.

Li Shaobin was also lazy to argue with him, and sent a force of 3,000 people to respond.

As for how to deal with Li San, Wu Changqing has to decide.

After Wu Changqing got the news, it was inevitable to get angry.

However, it is not particularly angry.

After all, he had long known that many people were staring at the Weapon Shop in Suzhou, and there were many people who wanted to steal the secrets of flintlock guns.

As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to guard against a thief. I've been thinking about it all day long by thieves, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

It is a blessing that only a craftsman who made springs has been taken away now.

Wu Changqing estimated that it would take at least half a year or even longer for Man Qing to figure out this flintlock gun and manufacture it.

By that time, he could already hit the north and greatly expanded his strength. Even if the Qing army made a flintlock, it might not be able to stop him.

After all, he can make more advanced weapons at any time.

Although the loss is not particularly serious, Li San must still be severely punished, and rewards and punishments must be distinguished so that his subordinates can do things more carefully.

Wu Changqing demoted Li San to the death squad and made him wait for the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

As for the death squads, they are all performing missions of a lifetime of nine deaths. If Li San is lucky enough to survive, he can reinstate other officials. If unfortunately he died, he can only be blamed for his bad life.

Being ambushed in his own territory this time also made Wu Changqing aware of the backwardness of his intelligence system.

Whether in war or maintaining rule in peacetime, its intelligence is very important.

Every person in power will have an intelligence system under his direct control.
