The Qing court water army retreated, and Azari fled to the south bank in panic, abandoning the boat and fled.
Only a few hundred people escaped with him, and the remaining naval forces were either killed in battle or captured.
The news of the defeat of the navy reached Gong Adai's ears, and his subordinates panicked.
These high-ranking generals all know that the naval forces are the key to this battle plan. Only when the navy defeated Wu Jun and then attacked Wu Jun's transport troops, they had the hope of winning.
If the navy can't do this, their army will not be able to withstand Wu's continuous offensive.
"Retreat to the city first."
Gong Adai said that there is no point in continuing to defend this beachhead. Wu Jun can already allow the navy to transport troops and land from other places.
If Wu Jun transported his troops behind them, they would be really in danger.
There is only one road between the city of Meizhouyuan and Jiujiang where they are stationed, and this road is very small, and there is a big mountain next to it, which separates Meizhouyuan from Jiujiang.
Wu Jun only needs to send one or two thousand people to take down the mountain pass and block their retreat at the mountain pass. Then all of them, 30,000 people, will have to be trapped and die in Meizhouyuan.
Therefore, Gong Adai chose to retreat very decisively. Although he didn't know what to do after returning to the city, he didn't have time to think so much for the time being.
More than 3,000 people were left for containment, and the remaining troops retreated quickly.
Because the Wu army is still landing, the troops on the shore are limited. Even if they discovered that the Qing army was retreating, they were unable to pursue it. They could only wipe out the remaining Qing army and earn a little credit.
However, it was Xu Yuxian's department who stayed behind. After he was assigned to stay behind, he was not complaining, but rather very happy.
After Gong Adai left, he immediately ordered the entire army to surrender.
His soldiers didn't want to fight for a long time. Hearing the general's order to surrender, they moved faster than anyone else.
This disappointed Wu Jun who was about to make a fortune. Many soldiers scolded these people, mocking them for useless and vulnerable.
But this can't irritate these soldiers. If you are laughed, you can be laughed. It is better than being killed.
"Congratulations, my lord for the victory. Next, Jiujiang will be in our bag."
Xue Guiren slapped Liu Han's Trinity Flattery.
Liu Hansan was not very happy when he heard the words, no matter how much meritorious work, this time the commander in chief was also Li Shaobin. He was only responsible for the beach landing, even if he had the credit, he still scored part of it to Li Shaobin in the end.
"You take people to seize the mountain pass to prevent the Qing army from counterattacking. Brigadier Zhang supervises the transportation of materials. Don't be careless and don't go wrong."
Liu Hansan arranged the tasks of Xue Guiren and Zhang Yingyuan, but he went to rest.
In order to prepare for this battle, he also pondered for a long time, and did not sleep well at night.
There are too many things to consider in a battle of ten thousand people. His ability is limited, and it is very difficult to command such a battle. Because he was afraid of making mistakes, he had to spend more time thinking and researching than others before the war.
Now he himself is aware of a problem, that is, his ability a little can't keep up with his own power.
However, he will not reconcile himself to the second line because of this. This is the greatest opportunity in his life. As long as he followed Wu Changqing steadily and unified the world, he would be the founder of the country, and at least he would be able to make a duke.
If Wu Changqing is generous enough, the throne might be.
Now in Wu Changqing's military commander system, his position can be ranked second, as long as he keeps this position, his future position can be arrogant.
For the sake of this world's glory and wealth, for the sake of his children and grandchildren, he would not give up this position.
Xue Guiren led five thousand people straight to the Zhaojia'ao Pass, and the Qing army also symbolically left a thousand people here for defense.
However, these thousand people were vulnerable to Wu Jun.
After all, the terrain of this mountain pass is not particularly dangerous, and the Qing army did not build any fortifications.
After Wu Jun made a wave of assaults, the thousand men of the Qing army descended and fled, making birds and beasts scattered.
This battle was really easy.
Xue Guiren played with the telescope in his hand, and felt that the battle was not real enough. The Eight Banners soldiers, who were once awe-inspiring, were so vulnerable.
In Meizhouyuan, a large amount of Wu Jun's supplies began to be moved ashore.
Food, large-scale ordnance, artillery, tents, etc., just moving these materials took Wu Jun more than half a day.
When the materials were moved, it was dark.
Senior commanders such as Li Shaobin gathered in a large tent and began to discuss the plan for attacking Jiujiang and the next battle plan.
Everyone looked at the map sand table and began to ponder.
This map sand table is something Wu Changqing provided ideas, and then his men made it out.
This kind of sand table is much more intuitive than ordinary maps. It is clear where there is a mountain and where there is water. The only drawback is to create trouble, but it is about the life and death of tens of thousands of troops. No matter how difficult it is to make Wu Jun, it also creates many large sand table maps.
From the sand table, everyone can clearly see the topography around Jiujiang.
"Can we send a troop through here to sneak attack on Lianhua Town. As long as Lianhua Town is occupied, they will be disconnected from Nanchang. The fleet blockades them on the water, and they are completely surrounded. At that time, even if we don't attack the city, they will have to come out of the city and take the initiative to attack, otherwise their little food in the city will not last long."
It was Tao Dongcheng who was talking, and he proposed a strategy based on the topography around Jiujiang.
The advantage of this strategy is that it can reduce losses. Although they are very powerful in attacking the city, they still have to pay some price. Compared to siege the city, they defend the city even more.
As long as they occupy Lianhua Town and force the Qing army to fight outside the city, they can win more easily.
Although they have the advantage now, there are still eighty to ninety thousand troops in Jiujiang City after all, and they still have to be treated with care, or they will capsize in the gutter.
Tao Dongcheng's strategy is not bad, but there is a disadvantage that it takes too long.
Even if there is not much food in Jiujiang City, it is not a problem to last for a month. Moreover, at that time, the Qing army would still grab food from the people in the city, and even do even more tragic things.
Those soldiers who were in desperate situation who guarded the city could do anything.
"There is no need, we will attack them directly, and we will be able to knock them down in three days. How many days does your siege plan take?"
Liu Hansan disagrees, he wants a quick fight.
"My plan may take a month, but it is a bit longer."
Tao Dongcheng said, in fact, his strategy is a very good strategy for other armies. The enemy can be forced out of the city, which can reduce the number of soldiers killed in battle.
However, among Wu Jun, this strategy is not clever, after all, everyone needs to take into account efficiency.
To spend more than a month attacking a city is absolutely a failure for them.
Therefore, not only Liu Hansan disagreed, but several other major generals also disagreed with the siege plan and preferred to attack directly.
