After the puppet Tang thief army outside the city attacked, the senior generals of the Ming army, including Wang Yue, all got off the city gate, and then ran to the city wall below to continue to watch the battle!

In the past, the pseudo-Tang thief army liked to bombard the city gate tower in many attacks, and now the city gate tower is already in tatters, although it is repaired every day, and it will not completely collapse, but when the pseudo-Tang thief army bombards, the city gate tower is extremely dangerous, so they are all under the city gate tower in advance.

Even in order to avoid attracting the attention of the artillery of the pseudo-Tang thief army outside the city, Wang Yue and the others did not bring too many followers, but a few high-ranking generals mostly watched the battle through the gap in the battlements behind the city wall.

I saw that the puppet Tang thief army outside the city was gradually approaching, whether it was the formation or the tactics, there was not much novelty, it was always bombarded with artillery, and then the bowl cannon continued to bombard about a hundred steps forward, and then the muskets and archers came forward to shoot.

If nothing else, the thieves' infantry will attack directly under the cover of muskets, archers and artillery!

And this is the old routine of the puppet Tang thief army attacking the city, Wang Yue and everyone have seen it several times, at the beginning, because of the strong firepower of the thief army, they still had a hard time coping with it, and the casualties were not small, but later they also learned to be smart, when the thief army shot with artillery and muskets and bows and arrows, they obediently hid behind the battlements and used the city wall to protect themselves!

After the infantry of the puppet Tang thief army rushed up dozens of steps, and then counterattacked with bowl cannons and bows and arrows on the city wall, they could often achieve great results, although they would also suffer certain casualties in the process, but the number of casualties was controllable.

Anyway, in the past ten days, the puppet Tang thief army has not been able to rush to the city.

And this time, although the scale of the attack of the puppet Tang thief army seems to be a lot, there are tens of thousands of puppet Tang thief troops outside the west city wall, and thousands of them are continuing to approach, and these thousands of people are also carrying a large number of siege equipment, such as moving arrow towers and long ladders for climbing the city wall.

However, although there are a lot of thieves, but the west city wall as the key defensive wall of the Ming army, it is also deployed with dense troops, archers and bowl cannons and even handcuffs for close killing, as a precautionary heavy armor sword and shield hand is also arranged a lot, once the enemy army is in the city, these heavy armor sword and shield hands are immediately killed to drive the thief army off the city.

If the thief army dares to attack, Wang Yue promises to give these pseudo-Tang thieves a lesson that will never be forgotten, so that these thieves know that Wuzhou City is not an ordinary city like Liping Mansion City or Liuzhou Mansion City, but a military fortress city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

The thief army outside the city continued to approach, and at this time, Wang Yue also got the news, and on the other city walls, the puppet Tang thief army also began to act, so that the puppet Tang thief army was indeed exhausted.

Immediately, Wang Yue once again sent an order to the Ming army on the city walls, asking all Ming troops to defend the city walls, kill thieves for the emperor, and make meritorious contributions for themselves, and promised to give high rewards.

However, as soon as his order was delivered, he suddenly heard a loud noise!

This kind of loud noise is definitely not the sound of artillery firing, even if it is the thousand-pound heavy artillery of the pseudo-Tang thief army outside the city, it will definitely not be able to cause such a huge sound, Wang Yue even felt the illusion that the earth is shaking.

What's going on?

After the loud noise came, Wang Yue immediately looked in the direction where the loud noise came, and saw a large puff of smoke and dust rising from a section of the city wall in the east!

What's going on? What's going on?

Wang Yue didn't understand what was going on for a while, but the person next to him was extraordinary, and immediately said: "It's not good, it must be that the thieves and soldiers blew up the city wall with gunpowder!" ”

At this time, the smoke of the eastern city wall has not yet dissipated, and everyone still can't see what is going on over there for a while, but Wang Yue saw the pseudo-Tang thief army in the east at this time, but he ran towards the east city wall as if he was crazy, seeing this scene, even if he still couldn't understand what was happening, but he had already guessed that these pseudo-Tang thief army must have taken the opportunity to attack the city.

Immediately, he shouted: "Quick, send someone up to plug the gap, and you must stop the pseudo-Tang thief army!" ”

In fact, without Wang Yue's order, several Ming generals in charge of the eastern city wall have already noticed that something is wrong, and after shaking the mountain for a while, a section of their city wall was actually partially collapsed, although it is impossible for the collapsed city wall to be completely blown away, but there is already a huge gap, and thousands of pseudo-Tang thieves outside the city rushed over like crazy.

At the moment, they are rushing to deploy troops to fill the gap.

In the case of the collapse of the city wall, the only way to plug the gap is to use people to pile it up, and to fill it with human lives!

A section of the city wall is only about ten meters, and if hundreds or even thousands of people are thrown in, it can be blocked.

However, the artillery of the puppet Tang thief army outside the city had already shifted its target and began to carry out intensive artillery shelling towards this gap, and the musketeers and archers of the puppet Tang thief army in the distance were also shooting intensively towards this gap.

This made the soldiers of the Ming army who went up to plug the gap suffer heavy casualties in an instant!

And this kind of heavy casualties instantly made the Ming army on the eastern city wall shake, if there was a city wall as a backing, they could defend the city, but now that the city wall has collapsed, they want to use their lives to plug the gap, and there is an instant shake.

At this time, a large number of troops of the puppet Tang Thief Army finally crossed the various obstacles outside the city and rushed towards this gap like a tide.

That's not a few dozen or a few hundred, but more than one or two thousand!

The battle became fierce almost instantly, and this fast pace almost made several senior generals of the Ming army in charge of the command of the eastern city wall at a loss, they could only continue to draw troops to fill the gap, and within a quarter of an hour, the personal soldiers around them were even sent out, and at the same time, they urgently asked Wang Yue for help!

"My lord, hurry up for reinforcements, otherwise I really can't stand it, the thief army is really too fierce!" A thousand households who ran over for help, even didn't care about the dignity of the officials, and they spoke with panic and even with a pleading look!

Wang Yue was also frowning at this time, and just wanted to speak, but there was someone on the side: "My lord, the heavy armor of the thief army has not yet appeared, and most of the people who attack the eastern city wall are fake thieves!" ”

As soon as the thousands of households who came to ask for help heard this, they instantly became angry, and regardless of Wang Yue's expectation that Wei Yan and a group of other high-ranking officials would be by his side, he directly said: "Now that we have no less than hundreds of brothers killed and wounded, if we continue to fight like this, we will not be able to hold it until the heavy armor of the thief army is killed!" ”

Although there are thousands of defenders on the east wall, it is impossible to plug all the gaps, and other intact walls also need to be defended by soldiers, just like the third garrison brigade outside the city, they only sent one regiment to attack the gap, and the other regiment is to attack the other walls.

Wang Yue once again looked around the entire battlefield of the offensive and defensive battle, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "This official will send you an additional 2,000 people, be sure to plug the gap!" ”

Hearing that there were reinforcements of 2,000 people, these thousand households finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Although these two thousand people don't sound like much, with such a new force of two thousand people joining, it is still relatively safe for them to put away the city wall.

But where did this thousand people come from?

Wang Yue naturally couldn't have dispatched the last strategic reserve at this critical moment, his 3,000 people were ready to deal with the worst-case scenario, and although it was dangerous on the eastern city wall now, it was not yet the time for him to dispatch the last strategic reserve.

He immediately looked left and right, and then said to Shen Xiyi, the deputy commander-in-chief of Guangdong: "Lord Shen, Erbu will send 2,000 people to support the east city wall!" ”

Shen Xiyi frowned slightly after hearing this, his Guangdong soldiers were now scattered in the west and south city walls.

This is already a heavy task, and if you have to transfer 2,000 people, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult, so I immediately looked left and right, and then said to Yu Dayou beside me: "You take 3,000 people from your headquarters to reinforce General Chen's troops!" ”

Yu Dayou wanted to say something after hearing this, but after a little hesitation, he didn't say anything, but said: "Your Majesty obeys orders!" ”

Soon, Yu Dayou was rushing to reinforce the gap with his 3,000 headquarters!

However, when Yu Dayou went to reinforcements with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and after arriving, he initially stabilized the battle line and drove back some of the puppet Tang thief army that had rushed into the gap.

Suddenly, I heard someone around me shouting: "Oh no, the heavy armor of the thief army rushed up!" ”

"What? The heavy armor of the thief army? Where are they? As soon as Yu Dayou heard the word heavy armor, he immediately looked outside!

In his sight, he saw hundreds of people crawling out of the trenches dug by the pseudo-Tang thief army outside the city, and these hundreds of people were different from other pseudo-Tang thief army, at least half of them were wearing heavy armor!

This kind of obvious sign almost instantly makes people see their identity, they are the heavy armor soldiers in the pseudo-Tang thief army!

There's them, that's the main point of attack!

Yu Dayou watched these heavily armored soldiers trotting over dozens of steps away, and secretly said in his heart: after such a fight, the three thousand people under his command and the more than 1,000 defenders nearby were already exhausted, and there were many casualties, and now the pseudo-Tang thief army rushed over again, this is probably even more difficult to fight!

Not only did Yu Dayou see that the heavy armor of the Pseudo-Tang Thief Army had been killed, but Wang Yue and they even saw that the heavy armor of the Pseudo-Tang Thief Army had been killed.

At this time, Wang Yue took a deep breath and said: "Let the governor rush to reinforce General Yu, and be sure to stop the puppet Tang thief army!" ”

Since the heavy armor of the thief army has appeared, and there is such a big momentum on the east city wall, there is no doubt that this place is the main direction of attack of the pseudo-Tang thief army, although other directions are also fighting and fighting, but they can barely hold it, and now, whether they can hold the city depends on whether they can hold the east city wall!

When the 3,000 people of the superintendent rushed to reinforce the eastern city wall, in the rear of the Tang Dynasty's royal division, Li Xuan looked at the entire battlefield with a blank face!

The development of the normal battle is similar to the deduction of the Operations Division, although their own troops launched a fierce attack on the eastern city wall, especially after the strict order to let the third garrison brigade launch a fierce attack regardless of casualties, forcing the Ming army to continuously transfer troops to reinforce the eastern city wall, and after the second temporary assault battalion also went into battle, the Ming army obviously mobilized a force of reinforcements to support.

If you calculate it this way, in the east city wall, the Ming army has already reinforced at least 5,000 reinforcements before and after!

And Li Xuan didn't know how many reserves there were in the defenders of the entire Wuzhou City, but he knew that it was impossible for the Ming army in the city to arrange tens of thousands of reserves, and these five thousand people were almost the limit.

In order to allow the Ming army to use these 5,000 people, the Third Infantry Brigade and the Third Garrison Brigade fighting on the east city wall paid a heavy price, and after this battle, the Third Garrison Brigade is estimated to be completely disabled, and the casualties of the Third Infantry Brigade may not be small.

At such a huge cost for the Ming army to mobilize so many reserves, it was time to start the second step plan!

Immediately, he said expressionlessly: "Order the engineer battalion to be blasted immediately, the Liuzhou Independent Regiment and the First Assault Battalion will immediately carry out a full-army assault after the blasting, and the Second Infantry Regiment and the Fifth Garrison Brigade will launch a full-army charge to support the assault force and break through Wuzhou City in one fell swoop!"

The Guards and all cavalry units stepped forward to supervise the battle nearby!

Anyone who retreats without permission will be killed on the spot! ”

After speaking, he looked around at the many officers beside him, and immediately said: "The rise and fall of the dynasty is fighting here, and I hope that all the kings will fight bravely to kill the enemy!" ”

"Go, I wait for your good news!"

Immediately, Hao Bonian and other generals said in unison: "The ministers obey the order!" ”
