The failure of Wuzhou can be said to be unnoticed for a while, but this Guangzhou, he has been operating painstakingly for several months, and has made sufficient preparations for this, but why can't he hold it?

This shouldn't be, it's not scientific!

He wants to counterattack, no matter what, he will drive the pseudo-Tang thief army out of the city!

Guangzhou City must not fall into the hands of the thief army, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!

For this reason, regardless of the danger of the east and west city walls, he forcibly transferred the last 1,000 men of the superintendent and the 3,000 men of the Guangzhou battalion, and collected the 2,000 soldiers of the trapped camp and the musket battalion that had been defeated, and reorganized the 6,000 army to carry out a huge counterattack on the northern city wall!

He even personally put on armor and stepped forward to supervise the battle, in order to recapture the northern city wall and drive out the pseudo-Tang thief army who had already climbed the city wall!

However, at this time, almost half of the northern city wall had already fallen into the hands of the Tang Army, and the two main infantry regiments of the 1st Infantry Brigade had even entered the city.

The counteroffensive Ming army not only had no advantages in terms of quality and equipment, but even in terms of quantity.

This time the counterattack, even though Wang Yue personally raised his sword to go into battle to boost morale, but they still failed to succeed, they attacked the defense line of the Tang Dynasty King Division like a tide, and then died under the defense line!

In just a few impacts, there were already hundreds of casualties, and at this time, even Wang Yue's threat to kill the generals of the team was no longer able to let those soldiers launch a counterattack.

Because that's not a counteroffensive, it's a death!

In the afternoon of the same day, the hopeless Ming army of the counteroffensive completely collapsed, countless routs fled, and many people even surrendered directly in front of the battle.

In the evening, the troops of the Tang Dynasty completely occupied the north, west and east city walls, and a large number of Ming troops fled towards the southern city.

That night, after the Tang Dynasty division initially controlled several important locations in the city, it did not waste its strength on clearing the rout in the city, but directly lit the torch and continued to attack the southern city!

Wang Yue led the Ming army to put up a brave and fearless resistance, resulting in casualties of the Ming army guarding the city that night was even greater than during the day, and the overall loss was almost more than 2,000 people.

After heavy losses, they had to completely withdraw from the southern city wall, and then boarded ships one after another to retreat under the cover of naval artillery fire of the Ming naval divisions anchored on the banks of the Pearl River.

The assault and retreat lasted almost all night, and taking advantage of this whole night, the Tang Dynasty division also moved a large number of artillery onto the southern city wall that had just been occupied, and carried out fierce artillery bombardment on the Ming ships anchored in the Pearl River!

The Ming naval division used naval artillery to return fire, and both sides used a total of more than 100 artillery pieces to carry out a fierce artillery bombardment!

In the early hours of the morning, the Ming army sailors covered the withdrawal of the last retreating Ming soldiers!

On a Ming army's fortune warship, Wang Yue, whose eyes were bloodshot, looked at the city of Guangzhou in the dawn and didn't speak for a long time!

The group of Ming army generals behind him also looked ugly.

After a while, Yu Dayou suddenly said, "How can we lose?" ”

"Even though the puppet Tang thief army is menacing, we are also well prepared!"

"In this battle, our army has sufficient and sophisticated armaments, and the troops are also sufficient, and the soldiers are desperately resisting!"

"And yet defeated, why is that?"

Hearing Yu Dayou's words, many people began to wake up, yes, why did they lose?

If it is said that Wuzhou was defeated in the first battle, it was because the armament was not as sophisticated as the thief army, and there were not enough troops.

So in the battle of Guangzhou, although the number of Ming troops in the city was quite good, the combat effectiveness was quite good in the Ming army, including 8,000 recruited troops as the core, tens of thousands of guards and 5,000 temporarily conscripted young people.

Speaking of troops, there are more troops than the Tang army attacking outside the city!

In terms of armament, although the artillery they have is not as much as the puppet Tang thief army, it is also a lot, even more than 2,000 catties of super invincible general cannons, although there are fewer muskets, but there are hundreds, and there is no shortage of cold weapons such as armor, swords and spears.

The superintendents in these armies are even more elite divisions, and the trapping camp and musket battalion are all directly modeled after the assault battalion and musket battalion in the pseudo-Tang thief army.

But why did it still lose so quickly and so miserably?

Wang Yue glanced at Yu Dayou and the generals at this time!

Finally, he turned his attention to Yu Dayou and asked, "In General Yu's opinion, why did our army regret defeat?" ”

Yu Dayou said in a nail-cutting tone at this time: "In the opinion of despicability, there is no other reason, the guns are unfavorable, and the military law is not harsh!" ”

Wang Yue listened, but sighed, he knew what Yu Dayou said, but he couldn't help it!

He had already exhausted all his strength, there were no guns, he imitated, purchased from foreigners, there were no soldiers, he recruited young men for training, and re-armed the superintendent.

Now, he found that he really couldn't do anything about it!

And such a group of generals under his own hands are all useless waste, especially the generals who were entrusted with important tasks by themselves, and their performance in this battle made him quite disappointed, more than 5,000 people, and the well-equipped superintendents were not as good as the Guangzhou battalion with only 3,000 people!

Especially last night, when resisting the puppet Tang thief army to storm Nancheng, the remnants of the superintendent were almost at the touch of a button, only the Guangzhou battalion advanced and retreated to resist step by step, and even provided cover for the retreat of the whole army, although in the end the Guangzhou battalion also suffered heavy losses, and only half of the troops escaped, but the Guangzhou battalion, which had less than 1,500 people left, was better than the other troops under his command.

It was normal for those guards to perform poorly, and he didn't want to be too harsh on those guards, but he was very, very disappointed that the superintendent was marked like this!

In the past few months in charge of Guangzhou City, he has looted a large number of materials and military funds, most of which can be said to be used on the supervisor, and he expects the supervisor to be able to block the puppet Tang thief at a critical moment, but the supervisor has not shown the combat effectiveness he should have from beginning to end.

The trapped camp almost collapsed at the first moment of the war, and the musket battalion was a little better, but it didn't last long before it collapsed.

And the Guangzhou battalion, which is still ordinary equipment, is quite tenacious!

Now he thinks that if it was not the superintendent who was the first to reinforce at that time, but the Guangzhou battalion, maybe Guangzhou would not have been lost.

The defeat of this battle, the incompetence of the generals is a very key factor!

If it weren't for the scruples of influence, he would have wanted to pull them out and behead them right now.

But now, it is obvious that killing the general is no longer able to change the situation, and if you want to save the situation, you must change it in the follow-up battle against the pseudo-Tang!

So he looked at everyone, and finally waved his hand and said: "General Yu stays, everyone else is scattered, it's still far away from Huizhou, look at it!" ”

After everyone dispersed, Wang Yue and Yu Dayou continued to talk, and this time the content of what they said was not limited to the Battle of Guangzhou, but had been expanded to how the troops should be trained and what tactics to use.

Half an hour later, Wang Yue and Yu Dayou appeared when everyone was facing them, and directly announced: The remnants of the Guangzhou battalion and the superintendent were merged together to rebuild the two Guangdubiao.

And Yu Dayou became the new commander of this new superintendent, and several generals in the Guangzhou battalion also became important generals of the superintendent, especially the crucial musket battalion and the trapping camp are Yu Dayou's henchmen and generals, as for the original superintendent generals, Wang Yue casually arranged a position and sent it away.

At this time, Li Xuan naturally didn't know that Wang Yue, who was defeated in Guangzhou again, not only did he play tricks such as suicide by diving like other commanders of the Ming army, but he was unwilling to reorganize and train the army, and he also began to reuse Yu Dayou.

There is a style of repeated defeats and repeated defeats!

Now Li Xuan has climbed the northern city wall of Guangzhou, looking at the city of Guangzhou after the war!

Now, the most important city in South China has finally fallen into its own hands, relying on this city, the Tang Dynasty will get a window for large-scale foreign exchanges.

At the same time, the capture of Guangzhou was also the last hard nail of the Ming army in Guangdong, and then he was able to send troops to attack Shaozhou Mansion, Huizhou Mansion and Chaozhou Mansion, and completely take Guangdong.

In this way, Liangguang completely fell into the control of the Tang Dynasty, and with most of Guizhou, the barely powerful Tang Dynasty can be said to occupy the land of the three provinces.

On the same day, the Tang Dynasty Wang Division continued to clear and suppress the rout troops in the city, and as for the Ming army that had fled from the Pearl River, it was naturally impossible to chase it!

The navy of the Tang Dynasty was not good, and it could not effectively support the pursuit of the army, so Li Xuan could only watch the Ming army board and withdraw from the southern city of Guangzhou.

On the last day of the Battle of Guangzhou, after basically clearing the Ming army in the city, Li Xuan also received the battle report from Colonel Lei Wan!

If the Battle of Guangzhou is counted from the arrival of the troops of the Tang Dynasty's division under the city of Guangzhou, then it has been a full three months by now.

If it is counted from the beginning of the general attack, then it has been almost ten days now.

The battle that lasted for so long also made the Tang Dynasty Division suffer a lot of losses, not to mention anything else, Guangzhou City contained many main forces of the Tang Dynasty Division's main forces for several months, which was a huge loss for the Tang Dynasty's Division, if it weren't for Guangzhou City, the other troops of the First Army would have conquered Shaozhou, Huizhou and other places, why not even Shaozhou Mansion, Huizhou Mansion and Chaozhou Mansion have not been taken until now.

In terms of personnel, more than 800 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in this battle, and more than 2,000 casualties are not a small number, and as for the ammunition consumed, there are even more than 30,000 shells in the artillery battle that lasted for 10 days!

On average, each gun fired more than 300 shells, and a few even blew them up!
