The pseudo-Tang thief army outside the city still rushed forward continuously, they climbed the ruins and fought with their own soldiers on the corpses of both sides and the city, and their own soldiers finally paid a heavy price to kill one, but they rushed up to more ones.

Aren't these thieves afraid of death, how can they still launch a fierce attack despite such heavy casualties?

Could it be the same as Wei Yan said, Tang thieves are invincible?

Yu Dayou opened his eyes and saw this scene, and immediately sighed and said, "Order, the whole battalion retreats immediately!" ”

"Where are we going?" Someone immediately asked.

"Go to the Southern Front!"

Today's Wuzhou City is surrounded on three sides, needless to say the western and eastern fronts, this defense can't be held, let alone break through in these two directions, and although there is no battle on the northern front, the Ming army is not stupid, they have long seen that there are nearly 3,000 pseudo-Tang thieves in the north, and they are real thieves.

According to several people familiar with the puppet Tang Dynasty thief army, the thief army on the northern front is the first step of the puppet Tang Dynasty, and the thief general Hao Bonian's descendant troops, who is Hao Bonian? That is the number one thief general of the puppet Tang Dynasty that even the bigwigs in the Beijing Division know, the left arm and right arm of the puppet emperor Li Xuan.

It is conceivable how strong the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command is, so whether it is Wang Yue or Yu Dayou, or even at this moment, retreat after receiving the order to retreat, or simply the Ming army who have already retreated privately in advance, they are very rational and did not choose to break through from the north.

Although it is a little funny, but the battle of Wuzhou City has been fought until now, and it still has nothing to do with the First Infantry Corps, and they can even proudly say: There is no war on the northern front!

The north side is guarded by elite divisions such as the First Infantry Corps of the Thief Army, whether it is Wang Yue or Yu Dayou when they choose the direction of retreat, they all have a tacit understanding to bypass the northern line, and they all choose to go to the southern line.

With Yu Dayou ordering a retreat, the recruits of the Guangzhou battalion also didn't care about the other friendly troops who were still fighting, and turned around and ran away.

The other Ming troops were not stupid, when they saw the Guangzhou soldiers running away, they also ran along!

At this time, it also reflected the quality of the Ming army, although the Guangzhou soldiers retreated, but they still fought and retreated, and at the same time did not throw down their weapons and retreated, and to a large extent they were able to maintain organization.

The other Ming troops didn't care much about it, they often turned around and ran away, threw down their weapons, took off their armor, and didn't care about the pseudo-Tang thieves behind them with knives and slashed at their backs.

The Ming army retreated, fought hard for a long time, and the Eastern Front troops, who had not been able to successfully capture the city, finally saw the dawn of victory at this time, and the Fifth Garrison Regiment and the Second Assault Battalion, which had suffered heavy casualties, finally succeeded in occupying the gap, and then began to advance in depth.

However, by this time, these two troops had already suffered heavy casualties, and they were able to maintain their stubborn fighting before, because there were warlords behind them who forced them to fight, and the officers kept saying that as long as they rushed to the top of the city, they would be able to win.

After rushing to the top of the city, they looked at the Ming army that had fled and had no motivation to pursue or even not enough physical strength.

After many people climbed to the top of the city, they were all Ming troops who fled regardless of the front, and they just sat down to rest.

Wearing heavy armor for a long time to fight, not only was he mentally devastated, but even his physical strength was about to be exhausted.

The battalion commanders and captains of the front-line command also thought that since they had conquered the city, according to past experience, even if the Ming army fled into the city, they would not be able to escape, and they would be slowly cleared up.

Even if the commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment was a little far-sighted, his focus was not on the rout of the Ming army, but on the important areas in the city, especially the warehouses in the city!

Before the battle, at the expanded imperial strategic meeting, Li Xuan emphasized that after the city was breached, it was necessary to control the warehouse in the city as soon as possible to ensure food security in the warehouse, so as not to be set on fire by the Ming army who jumped over the wall in a hurry.

Although it is also important to attack Wuzhou City and pull out this nail, it is equally important to seize food, and if you pursue the remnants of the enemy, it can only be regarded as secondary.

Therefore, after rushing to the head of the city, the troops of the eastern front advanced to the walls on both sides and stabilized the battle line, while the 6th Infantry Regiment also sent troops to quickly advance to the depth, in order to control the warehouses in the city as soon as possible.

When the Sixth Infantry Regiment made such a tactical choice, although it was also correct and in line with Li Xuan's strategic instructions before the war, it was also a chance for the Ming army in front of him to escape.

Yu Dayou took the more than 1,000 Guangzhou soldiers who had successfully withdrawn without any stop along the way, and went directly towards the south city gate.

On the way, they saw countless Ming army routs running around, at this time the eastern and western fronts of Wuzhou City had been broken through, and countless routs ran down from the city, most of these people had lost their organization, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and they would not be able to find the soldiers.

The whole city of Wuzhou was in chaos, countless routs ran aimlessly on the streets, some took off their military uniforms and hid in civilian houses, while a few organized people went towards the south or north city gates.

As for the Eastern and Western Fronts, naturally, no one stupidly ran over.

In this process, there is naturally no shortage of desperate Ming troops who surrendered, and these Ming troops are not only ordinary soldiers, but also many middle and senior generals of the Ming army.

On the Western Front, Zhong Guangjun, the commander of Guangxi, was after the city was broken, especially after the death of Shen Xiyi, the deputy commander-in-chief of Guangdong, the desperate people were blocked by the puppet Tang thief army, and in the end they could only helplessly surrender as prisoners with the only remaining more than 1,000 people under his command.

Even high-ranking generals such as the commander of the army surrendered with their troops, and other generals such as the commander of the guard, the commander of the guard, and the commander of the thousand households surrendered even more.

Even if it has not yet been counted how many Ming generals have been captured, Hao Bonian, who is in charge of the war on the Western Front, can judge by intuition that this battle will probably be the battle in which the Tang Dynasty captured the most middle and senior generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Because in the previous Tonggu Acropolis Battle, Liping Fucheng Battle, Liuzhou City Battle, and Xiangzhou Battle, although the Tang Dynasty Wang Division killed the enemy and captured a lot of prisoners, in fact, most of the senior generals of the Ming army escaped, and only a small number died or surrendered.

However, in this battle, there were more than a dozen prisoners of war among the middle and high-ranking Ming army generals he saw with his own eyes, and when the battle of the whole city is over, I am afraid that the number will be even more!

I just don't know if Wang Yue, the governor of Liangguang, and Wei Yan, the governor of Guangxi, have escaped, if they can be caught or killed, then the political impact will be even greater!

When the time comes, who would dare to say that their Tang Dynasty is just a bunch of bandits and thieves?

At this time, Hao Bonian didn't know that Wang Yuedu had already boarded the Xijiang ship with the officials and personal soldiers who had escaped first, and it was impossible to catch or kill them.

Wang Yue, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at Wei Yan next to him, who even dropped his official hat, and thought of his own breakthrough battle a moment ago, and he was a little frightened when he thought about it!

A moment ago, when they rushed out of the city gate, nearly two thousand pseudo-Tang thieves at the city gate lined up to intercept it, Wang Yue immediately sent half of the governors to meet the battle, while he took the rest of the governors to bypass and continue to the river to wait for the boat!

And now, the more than 1,000 Governors who were left behind and cut off have suffered heavy casualties, but they can be regarded as successfully blocking the nearly 2,000 pseudo-Tang thief troops blocking the way in front.

After sighing, he ordered the soldiers to set sail and prepare to leave!

However, as soon as the order was issued, Wei Yan on the side said: "Look, my lord, someone rushed out again, are you waiting for them?" ”

As Wei Yan pointed out, Wang Yue saw that many Ming generals rushed out of the south gate, and there were three or four thousand Ming soldiers who continued to pour out!

And the person who is the leader he recognizes is Yu Dayou, the commander of the capital of Guangdong!

"My lord, the cavalry of the thief army is coming, they are coming so fast!" Someone immediately said: "General Yu, I'm afraid they will be more auspicious!" ”

Wang Yue was slightly silent and said: "Don't leave first, wait for General Yu and them to come, and then let the naval guns of the naval division open fire to support General Yu!" ”

After Wang Yue gave this order, many people were worried, they were naturally not worried about the life or death of Yu Dayou and the other Ming soldiers, they were worried about their own life and death!

A large number of thieves are rushing over in the distance, this cavalry is just their advance force, and when a large number of thieves arrive, I am afraid they will be dragged and unable to leave.

However, no one dared to disobey Wang Yue's order, so the ships that had been ready to set sail stopped again, and the planks that had been drawn up were put down again, ready to meet the Ming troops who were running towards the river!

The naval artillery on the side of the naval division also opened fire, but at this time, it can be seen what is the difference between the artillery of the Ming army and the artillery of the Tang Dynasty.

That is, the artillery of the Ming army, basically there are no long-barreled guns that fire solid shells, even if these three or five hundred pound Franc machine guns are installed in the bow of the ship, they also fire shotguns, and the range is extremely limited.

Unlike the Tang Dynasty Division, although there are also many shotguns, the heavy artillery is a long-barreled cannon that can be used to fire solid shells.

Leading the cavalry troops in pursuit was Colonel Cao Mingda, a veteran cavalry officer of the Tang Dynasty, as the first batch of Ming generals who followed Zeng Ziwen to surrender to thieves, he had already gotten rid of the identity of the Ming army general, became the most senior general in the Tang Dynasty, and has always served as the commander of the first cavalry battalion.

At this time, several cavalry units pursued together, and he was also duty-bound to become the supreme commander of this cavalry unit consisting of three cavalry battalions with the highest rank.

When he saw that the warships of the Ming army sailors on the shore had all launched artillery, and several anxious Ming gunners even lit fire and opened fire, he immediately frowned!
