Even Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Xu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene, this dense corpse looked too terrifying, and many of these casualties were actually not dead, just injured, but the moans of the injured people made people feel the cruelty of the war even more!

However, although he gasped, he was also a veteran who had experienced countless battles, and he was able to become a lieutenant colonel in the Tang Dynasty's division, especially as a deputy commander in the most competitive main force in the First Infantry Corps, his qualifications and military exploits are not lacking.

So he was only shocked for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and then ordered loudly: "The grenadiers step forward, the sword and shield soldiers take cover, attack on both sides, and expand the occupied area!" ”

As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Xu went to the city, he gave the relevant orders and commanded the troops to continue fighting.

At this time, on the side of the First Advance Corps, Colonel Chen Keqiao also saw that the assault team had already landed on the top of the city, and at this time he knew that it was time for his First Rank Corps to really attack!

"Order, the 1st Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Infantry Battalion quickly stepped forward to reinforce the commando team!"

Relying on the assault team alone, although it can open the gap in the city, once the Ming army organizes a large number of heavy infantry and spearmen to counterattack in a dense phalanx, these commandos will be dangerous.

Before the battle, they had already drawn up the relevant battle plan, and once the assault team opened the gap, the first regiment must follow the reinforcements as soon as possible.

And the follow-up battle on the head of the city, especially the counterattack against the dense strength of the Ming army, without the support of the first corps, the assault team is likely to fall into a bitter battle, and lead to heavy casualties or even failure!

Hao Bonian, who was in the rear, naturally watched the entire commando battle process in detail through the telescope, and knew that in the process of ascending the city, not only the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, but also his own casualties were not small, but if Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Xu would still be shocked by this, then Hao Bonian had no feeling for it, and even said to others with a happy face: "Okay, the first credit in this battle should be in the commando!" ”

"Order the whole army, launch the final charge, order the Second Infantry Regiment to enter the battle, expand the results, take Liuzhou in one fell swoop, and present a New Year gift to Your Majesty!"

Hao Bonian has fought countless hard battles, and he has already seen the casualties, and he is a fairly standard general, as long as he can win the final victory, it is nothing to pay part of the casualties.

As for the casualties of the soldiers and even the officers, it seemed to him that it was just a number!

These soldiers were killed and wounded, and it didn't take long for him to get enough recruits from the Training Division to replenish them, and it wouldn't be long after this battle, and his 1st Infantry Brigade would still be able to maintain its peak full strength!

For a high-ranking general like Hao Bonian, war is not cruel, but romantic, but a way for him to establish meritorious deeds and obtain glory and wealth!

Hao Bonian was not the slightest moved by the casualties paid in this general attack, but the other people on the side did not look good.

Few of the Cabinet and Privy Council officers who accompanied the army to watch the battle could remain calm when they watched such a tragic battlefield.

The deputy director of the Recruitment Department of the Ministry of War looked at the battlefield and muttered in his heart: "Nima, this death and injury is so big, I am afraid that all the recruits I recruited in Liuzhou Mansion this month will be filled in, and the casualties of the Third Garrison Brigade are so large, and I am afraid that a large part of the Ming Army troops captured in the follow-up will also have to be replenished to enter, so where can the soldiers needed by the Fifth Garrison Brigade be found?" ”

The people in the Training Department of the Privy Council also secretly thought: "This Hao Bonian is too reckless in fighting, is it easy for our Training Department to train recruits?" It's not easy, you have so many casualties in one battle, and the soldiers trained by our training department can't fill it at all! ”

The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were just thinking in their hearts, but Cen Shouji, the leader of the Tusi soldiers, was not very good-looking!

This battle is not over yet, their own soldiers are already dead and wounded no less than 200 people, and their army is only more than 1,500 people in total, this dead and wounded are so heavy, but under the compulsion of the officers of the Tang Dynasty Division on the front line, their own soldiers still have to continue to attack, and when this big battle is over, I am afraid that there will be no less than 300 dead and wounded.

With such heavy casualties, how should I explain to the toasts!

You must know that these dead and wounded soldiers are not ordinary young and strong, but elite standing soldiers who have been trained and trained for many years by the Tusi, and it is not easy to do this if you die too much!

Not to mention the idea of watching the battle in the rear, but under Hao Bonian's order, the front-line departments are still continuing to fight, and the first corps began to reinforce the assault team, successively ascending the city wall, and then sweeping to both sides of the city wall, and fighting against the Ming army that counterattacked.

The other troops also took advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Ming army were attracted by the commandos and the first step corps, and launched the battle to ascend the city.

Among them, the strategic reserve of the Tang Dynasty's division, the second infantry regiment that was put into the battlefield for the first time was the mainstay, and the second infantry regiment forcibly launched a charge from the other side and successfully opened the gap in the city.

At this time, among the troops of the Tang Dynasty's division, there were more than 1,000 troops who had landed in the city one after another, and this number was still increasing rapidly.

However, the Ming army defending the city had already suffered heavy casualties, if it weren't for the fact that Liuzhou City was surrounded, and except for the north, the other three sides were surrounded by the Liujiang River, and there was nowhere to escape, they would have fled long ago.

But the strategic collapse did not appear, and the small-scale collapse and escape continued to occur!

Especially those young men who were temporarily recruited, the facts once again proved that in the tragic frontal battle, the young men who had not been trained were simply vulnerable, and they could also assist the regular army of the Ming army to defend the city when the Tang Army had not yet landed in the city.

But after the Tang Dynasty King Master ascended to the top of the city, they simply did not have the courage or ability to resist hand-to-hand!

Therefore, it is these young men who are the first to collapse!

Those guards are better, but it is impossible for the guards to resist the raging pseudo-Tang thief army alone.

At this time, although the Ming army was still resisting, many high-ranking generals of the Ming army could not see the hope of victory, some people ran away secretly, and some people fought in despair in person, and finally died under the swords and guns of the pseudo-Tang thief army.

The swords and guns of the pseudo-Tang thief army, but it doesn't matter if you are a thousand households or a hundred households, or an ordinary soldier, they are all cut down with one sword.

Some high-ranking generals of the Ming army gritted their teeth and directly surrendered on the spot with their subordinates.

Anyway, according to the news circulating outside, there are not too many generals of the Ming army who surrendered to the puppet Tang thief army, and the puppet Tang thief army was also fatal to treat the prisoners well.

As long as you are sincere, you don't have to worry about your life being threatened, and after a period of study, you can continue to lead the troops.

It is rumored that in the garrison of the puppet Tang thief army opposite, there are several generals from Guizhou, including thousands of households, Wei commanders, and commanders of these senior generals.

The surrender of these few high-ranking generals of the Ming army in Liuzhou City also proves once again the benefits of the Tang Dynasty Wangshi not killing prisoners!

Because in this way, when those Ming soldiers are desperate, they will have the idea of surrendering or even surrendering, and they don't have to worry about being killed after surrendering!

As more and more Tang soldiers ascended to the top of the city, the city wall was soon completely occupied, and after the defeat of the Ming army, some surrendered, some were killed and wounded, and some fled back to the city.

At this time, in order to prevent the Ming army in the city from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and when the rout was defeated, Hao Bonian made a decision and directly ordered some troops to quickly enter the city to occupy various critical places, especially the warehouses in the city.

Otherwise, the Ming army in the city would not have the courage to defend Liuzhou City in the encirclement of their own side.

If a large amount of grain can be captured, it will be able to greatly alleviate the current food shortage of your own army, so these grains and ordnance can't let the Ming army rout burn!

When the city was broken, the officials in Liuzhou City also made their own choices, and some high-ranking civil officials, especially the prefects, Tongzhi, and county magistrates in the city, most of whom were official officials from the imperial examination, chose to commit suicide in various ways.

And the prefect of Liuzhou Mansion is still more extreme, he first killed all his family members and then committed suicide, obviously afraid that his family, especially the female dependents, would be insulted in the hands of the pseudo-Tang thief army.

For the civilian officials of the Ming army, Hao Bonian and a group of generals of the Tang Dynasty are also accustomed to it, so far, Hao Bonian has not encountered the senior civil officials of the Ming Dynasty who voluntarily surrendered, especially the county commanders and prefects.

I heard that the Second Infantry Brigade captured several county commanders in Guizhou, and I don't know how they were captured, and how His Majesty will arrange these demotion officers in the future.

And on the side of Liuzhou Fucheng, not all of these civil officials would rather die than surrender, there will always be a small number of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, or have all kinds of thoughts, such as seeing the rise of the puppet Tang thief army, they want to be promoted from the dragon, and then seek to be promoted and make a fortune in a new dynasty.

After all, although the Tang Dynasty is said to be a rebellion, it has also gone through a series of perfect procedures for the establishment of the emperor, and from the perspective of traditional etiquette, the Tang Dynasty is still barely relatively formal.

So as long as the Tang Dynasty shows enough strength, then these people don't mind changing from the Zhu family's courtiers to the Li family's courtiers.

After all, learning literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, working hard for the Zhu family emperor is also a life, and working hard for the Li family emperor is also a life, which is very consistent with the concept of these scholars.

As for whether the Tang Dynasty rebelled or not, does it matter?

However, it doesn't matter whether there are officials of the Ming Dynasty to surrender to Cheng, for Hao Bonian, it is enough to take Liuzhou City and initially keep the buildings of Liuzhou Mansion intact, and the civilian casualties are not large.

Everything else doesn't matter!

In the evening of the same day, when the troops initially cleared the Ming army in the city, Hao Bonian didn't even have time to hold a post-war report meeting, that is, he brought a large group of people into the city of Liuzhou with a high profile, and ordered the army to maintain a high degree of alert, completely control the situation in the city, and eliminate any green-skinned hooligans and Ming army routs who dared to take the opportunity to make trouble!

Now that you have taken the capital city of Liuzhou, it is time to welcome the holy car south!

Hao Bonian didn't want His Majesty to see a tattered and turbulent Liuzhou capital city!
