There are quite a lot of Ming ships on the river, and there are many of them, although he can see at a glance that the naval guns of these Ming naval divisions are all small cannons, and they are all scattered bullets, with a range of only more than 100 meters, and they can't threaten themselves for the time being, but if they continue to rush to the river with their cavalry, then it will be dangerous.

If this is rushed up and hit hard by the naval guns of the Ming army, the casualties will be absolute!

Even if there were heavy casualties, and more importantly, his cavalry couldn't rush onto the ship to kill the enemy!

He was not pedantic, so he immediately turned his horse's head and adjusted the direction slightly, and led the cavalry troops to no longer rush to the shore, but kept the shore at a certain distance.

He didn't want to rush over the river with his cavalry troops, and then suffer heavy casualties under the guns of the Ming army's naval divisions.

In such a large-scale siege battle, the number of enemy soldiers killed and captured was at least tens of thousands, and one or two thousand people who were escaped by the Ming army were nothing, and he didn't want to take the invaluable cavalry troops in the Tang Dynasty to risk in order to chase and kill one or two thousand people of the Ming army.

You must know that there are only more than 600 professional cavalry in the entire Tang Dynasty now!

Although there are quite a lot of cavalry in the Tang Dynasty's division, in addition to the first cavalry battalion, the second cavalry battalion, and the cavalry battalion of the Guards, there are also the third cavalry battalion under the Second Army of Guizhou, the fourth cavalry battalion under the Third Army operating in the central and western part of Guangxi, and there are also reconnaissance cavalry teams under each infantry regiment.

In reality, even the three main cavalry battalions add up to the strength of a full cavalry battalion, while the third cavalry battalion and the fourth cavalry battalion are all empty shelves, and the number of cavalry in each regiment of the reconnaissance cavalry is even less, and the quality of horses and cavalry in the reconnaissance cavalry unit cannot be compared with that of the cavalry battalion.

Even the equestrian and horse combat ability of those heralds are stronger than those of the reconnaissance cavalry of the infantry regiments, and now, in fact, when the main force of the Tang Dynasty Wang Division is moving, the front-line reconnaissance tasks are often taken care of by the cavalry battalions, and the presence of the reconnaissance cavalry teams directly under the infantry regiments is very low.

In this way, it also witnesses how valuable the professional cavalry of the Tang Dynasty Division is, much more precious than musketeers, and even more precious than artillery!

In order to avoid losses, Colonel Cao Mingda chose to turn and did not continue to advance along the river, but continued to intercept two hundred meters away from the river.

And in this way, it means that he almost watched more than a thousand Ming troops rushing in front of him, but he didn't care about these Ming troops who had already run to the river, what he wanted to do was to stop the remaining Ming troops!

The cavalry force composed of more than 600 cavalry, like a sharp knife, rushed directly from the array of the Ming army's rout, dividing the Ming army into two, the Ming army in the south continued to run towards the river, and then rushed to get on the boat, and the Ming army behind was not so lucky, they faced the light cavalry led by Cao Mingda for repeated impacts, before and after only two rushes, these intercepted Ming troops were killed and wounded, and then no one dared to rush towards the river.

Some knelt down and surrendered, others fled in other directions, and some even fled into the city.

But the efforts of these people will be in vain, because those who flee back to the city needless to say, they will definitely become ghosts or prisoners of war under the sword of the Tang Dynasty, and those who flee in other directions will also encounter the infantry of the Tang Dynasty's division that follows behind.

In the rear of the 600 cavalry troops, more than 2,000 men of the 5th Infantry Regiment were approaching, and on the other side, the 1st Infantry Regiment also sent an infantry battalion to reinforce the southern front.

Because the Ming army has never broken through from the northern front, the first corps, which has always been idle, also tried to transfer a battalion to support the southern front, but the main force will still be stationed on the northern front.

You must know that there are still tens of thousands of Ming troops in the city at this time, what if you see that there is no pseudo-Tang thief army on the northern front, and you run away from the northern line?

At that time, even Hao Bonian will not be able to bear this responsibility!

And these forces are enough to plug the gap on the southern front!

Cao Mingda's 600 cavalry was like an iron wall, firmly blocking the passage from the south gate to the river.

After a while, an infantry battalion of the Fifth Infantry Regiment also arrived quickly through a rapid march, and the commander of the 14th Infantry Battalion of the 5th Infantry Regiment led the team was extremely simple, he directly rushed up with the 14th Infantry Battalion, and then blocked the South City Gate!

Then the tight phalanx was listed, which was an infantry phalanx used to fight field battles, and the Tang Army almost crushed countless Ming troops by using this hand.

At this time, not to mention that the Ming army coming out of the city gate was just some broken soldiers, even if it was a well-organized regular army recruiting troops, even if it was the Ming army with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Liangguang Ming Army, I am afraid that it would not be able to break through the phalanx of the 14th Infantry Battalion of the Fifth Infantry Regiment.

The 14th Infantry Battalion was like a thick city gate, directly blocking the south city gate, and the 600 cavalry troops behind were constantly wandering, chasing the Ming army that had escaped before, forcing these Ming troops to surrender!

At this time, the battle situation on the southern front had barely stabilized, and Colonel Cao Mingda also had a superfluous mood to look back at the Ming ships by the river and the Ming troops on board.

According to the eye, the Ming army that has already boarded the ship is afraid that there are two or three thousand people, and it is a pity to let these people escape, but he has no way to do this, who let his troops only be cavalry, and the cavalry can't get on the ship to fight.

Not to mention his cavalry, even if the infantry came, it would not be able to stop the escape of these Ming troops.

First of all, the Ming army has set sail, and the infantry troops can only use muskets and bows and arrows to fight for a while, as for the artillery, don't think about it, and after those heavy artillery pieces are pulled, the ships of the Ming army don't know where to go.

Cao Mingda led the cavalry to wander by the river, looking at the Ming army fleet that was gradually going offshore, Wang Yue and a group of surviving senior generals of the Ming army also looked at the six hundred puppet Tang thief army cavalry on the shore and the thief army infantry behind.

Wang Yue turned his head at this time to look at Yu Dayou, who was tired and still had blood stains on his body, and said, "General Yu, it's hard work!" ”

Yu Dayou showed a wry smile at this time: "Of the three thousand soldiers in the headquarters of the last general, less than a thousand people escaped, and the last general is ashamed of them!" ”

At this time, Wei Yan stepped forward and said: "General Yu doesn't have to be like this, your troops can hold on to the end, and it is already quite difficult to successfully withdraw, and it is also a great achievement to successfully withdraw with hundreds of friendly troops along the way!" ”

Yu Dayou was able to successfully escape at the last moment, which was quite difficult, and although he fled in embarrassment with his troops, he did not say that he would retreat without a fight or retreat privately, he led the army to retreat after receiving a clear retreat order from Shangfeng.

Along the way, Yu Dayou still gathered a lot of other troops of the Ming army, and then rushed out of the southern front with him, although he was finally intercepted by the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army, resulting in the loss of half of the number, and only more than 1,000 of the three or four thousand people who went out of the city arrived on the shore and got on the boat, but everyone knows that this is no longer to blame him.

On the contrary, Yu Dayou, who can do this level, is already the only one among many Ming army generals.

You don't see, the Ming army in the city has tens of thousands of troops and many senior generals, but no one can maintain the retreat order of the troops as completely as Yu Dayou, and even gather the friendly troops to retreat together.

At this time, Wang Yue said: "The battle of Wuzhou, not our army soldiers do not need to die, but the thieves and soldiers are numerous, even if they are defeated today, but our officers and soldiers still kill a lot of thieves, giving the Tang thieves a heavy blow, and now Wang Shi should quickly march east to Zhaoqing to consolidate the city defense, waiting for Huguang and other provincial allies to come to the rescue!" ”

"After the arrival of friendly troops in Huguang and other provinces, the royal division of our court will definitely be able to counterattack Wuzhou, level Guangxi, and exterminate the pseudo-Tang Dynasty!"

After Wang Yue said such words to encourage morale, he said again: "Pass the order, speed up the sails, and move to Zhaoqing!" ”

When he said this, he officially announced that he had given up the tens of thousands of Ming troops who were still in Wuzhou City, there was no way, he didn't want to give up, there was no way!

Although there are a lot of boats on the riverside, there is no problem with loading a few thousand more people if they are squeezed, but the key thing is that the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army by the river is eyeing the side, not to mention that the infantry of the puppet Tang thief army has already arrived, completely blocking the south city gate, and it is almost impossible for the Ming army in the city to rush out.

At this time, even if the Ming army in the city wanted to break through from other directions, in fact, Wang Yue would not be able to meet them.

At this time, their only choice is to set sail and go east along the river!

As for how many people will be able to successfully escape, Wang Yue has no hope.

Wuzhou is certainly easy to defend and difficult to attack, but on the other hand, after being surrounded, don't expect to be able to escape.

Except for escaping from the river, all other directions are basically dead ends!

Wang Yue set sail for Zhaoqing with the escaped Ming army of two or three thousand, and he also began to think about how to fold.

Wuzhou such a big fiasco, it is absolutely impossible to write the real situation, if it is really written, his Wang Yue's head will be cut off in minutes, although even if it is beautified, his fate may not be very good, but at least it will not be so miserable!

After thinking about it for a long time, he came up with the main content of the excerpt!

There are four key points:

First, in the Battle of Wuzhou, our army had no foreign aid, and its own strength was also insufficient.

2. Although the strength is insufficient, our army has inflicted great casualties on the thief army.

Third, the losses of our army in this battle were not large.

Fourth, the withdrawal from Wuzhou was not a rout, but a strategic initiative to retreat in order to continue to kill and injure the thief army and eliminate the puppet Tang Dynasty.

To sum up, our army is victorious, and it is definitely not a fiasco and an escape!
