It is also unreliable to increase troops in the assault force, if there are such additional troops, they can directly use them to form a new infantry regiment, can they be sent to the assault force?

So in the end, the discussion came and went, Chen Keqiao's so-called solution is actually unrealistic!

Such a group of senior generals discussed for most of the day, but they were unable to find a solution to the two existing shortcomings of the current regimental tactics.

At the end, Hao Bonian sighed and said: "Sort out the discussion into a written report and submit it to the Operations Division, as for this regiment-level phalanx tactics, suspend the use of them first, and all units will return to the original battalion-level tactics!" ”

This kind of regimental-level phalanx tactic was proposed and perfected by him Hao Bonian, and today is only the first time it has been used, but the first time it is used is to find such an important flaw, it is unlikely that it will continue to be used in the future.

To be honest, Hao Bonian is a little unwilling, but there is no way to be unwilling, as everyone said, there are still two fatal flaws in this regiment-level tactic.

In terms of the quality of the troops of the Tang Dynasty's division, only the first corps can barely carry it out, and even the second infantry regiment can't do it.

And even in the first step corps, only one of the first infantry battalions can meet the requirements, and the other infantry battalions are not enough.

The tactics are very good, but they are not suitable for the Tang Dynasty!

After the end of the day's post-war meeting, the summary report of the next day's battle report was sent to the rear along with the war report of the war, and then it was passed all the way to Xingquan Province.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Hao Bonian and his troops continued to camp at Anjia Wharf, waiting for reinforcements from the Ming army to arrive at the door.

But just as he expected before, the follow-up Ming army reinforcements saw that the 8,000 army led by Wei Yan himself had been defeated, and they dared to continue to go north, and all the Ming troops invariably stopped their pace.

According to the information obtained by the scouts sent by the army, the remnants of the Ming army who had retreated from Anjia Wharf had fled all the way back to Wuxuan County.

And the follow-up reinforcements from the eastern part of Guangxi successively several Ming army reinforcements also ran to Wuxuan and these remnants of the Ming army to reconcile, at this time Hao Bonian finally knew that the commander of the Ming army that he had defeated before was the puppet Ming Guangxi governor Wei Yan, and in a few days, the reassembled Ming army in Wuxuan County had reached more than 6,000 people.

In addition, the Ming army reinforced from western Guangxi and other regions stopped at the guests, and the number of this group of Ming troops was not small, about 4,000 people.

Moreover, the Ming army in these two areas continued to increase, and it is rumored that after the defeat of the Anjia wharf, the governor of Guangxi, Wei Yan, calmly thought about the pain, and ordered the Ming army of all departments in Guangxi to strictly defend to prevent the Tang thieves from flowing through the Xijiang River to the western part of Guangxi and the eastern part of Guangxi, especially Wuzhou.

At the same time, a large-scale on-site recruitment of a large number of young people began.

I believe that it won't be long before the Ming army in Wuxuan and Laibin areas will be able to break through the scale of 10,000 people each!

At this time, the Guangxi Ming Army and the Tang Dynasty Division went south, forming a zigzag triangular structure, the Tang Dynasty Division was at the apex of the north, and the Guangxi Ming Army was at the bottom of the two points, and the interesting thing is that these three troops were stationed along the tributaries of the Xijiang River, whether it was offensive or defensive, or with the Xijiang River basin as the core.

Because both sides knew that fighting in Guangxi would be extremely dependent on the various tributaries of the Xijiang River, Hao Bonian wanted to fight all the way along the Xijiang River, and the Guangxi Ming army also wanted to defend along the river.

After getting this information from the reconnaissance cavalry, Hao Bonian knew that in a short period of time, these Ming troops probably did not have the courage to go north to Liuzhou, although they said that they could continue to fight east or west, but the road was far away and took too much time.

Secondly, Liuzhou City is still in the hands of the Ming army, and Liuzhou City is on the edge of the Liujiang River, and the Ming army in the city can threaten the Liujiang River transportation at any time, and its own logistics transportation is heavily dependent on the Liujiang River transportation.

In order to avoid any accidents in the long night, to be able to continue to go south without worries, and also to be able to welcome the holy car to the south as soon as possible, Hao Bonian decided: This Wu Xuan and the guests will not fight.

Let's go back north and take down Liuzhou City!

After taking Liuzhou City, His Majesty will be able to go south, and His Majesty will definitely bring a large number of troops to the south when he goes south, so that his own troops on the Guangxi side will be even stronger, and he can advance west and east at the same time!

If you go west, you can first defeat the guests and annihilate the local Ming army, and then you can send a small number of regular troops and part of the garrison to continue to advance westward, and the main force is to advance eastward!

The strategy of the Tang Dynasty has never changed, and continuing to advance eastward after taking Liuzhou has been a strategy that has been formulated a long time ago.

This was not only because of the need to conquer Wuzhou, a city with important political symbols, but also because of the need to continue eastward into Guangdong in order to occupy Zhaoqing, Guangzhou, and Foshan.

At the same time, in addition to these reasons, there is another very important reason, that is, to seize the only two plain grain producing areas in Guangxi, that is, the Xunyu Plain in Xunzhou Prefecture and the Yulin Plain in Wuzhou Prefecture.

These two plains are fertile land, abundant rain and sunshine, and are extremely suitable for growing grain, even if the population in these areas is still relatively small, and water conservancy facilities are relatively lacking, but now they are already important grain-producing areas in Guangxi, and if they are developed, these two plains are enough to feed millions of people.

And how many people are there in Guangxi at present? That's just over two million!

At present, the areas occupied by the Tang Dynasty and the areas that are expected to be occupied in the short term in the future are not more important grain producing areas, all of them are poor and remote areas, only the agricultural development along the Liujiang River in Liuzhou Prefecture is relatively good, but the development potential of the Xijiang River along the Liujiang River in Liujiang Prefecture is also limited.

Far less potential than the two areas of Xunzhou and Wuzhou!

Wuzhou Mansion can become the seat of the Governor's Mansion in the Liangguang region, not only because it relies on the Xijiang shipping hub, but also because Wuzhou Mansion is an important grain-producing area, and Xunzhou Mansion next door is also an important grain-producing area.

In ancient times, there was nothing more reassuring than having food in your hands.

Even if it was because of going south, even Xingquan Mansion, where he started, was lost in the end, but the two places of Wuzhou Mansion and Xunzhou Mansion must be taken, and it is also necessary to enter Guangdong in the east.

Anyway, Xingquan Mansion and Liping Mansion are both poor and remote places, there is nothing to want, and the transportation is inconvenient, it is really not a good place, otherwise, why would Li Xuan want to go south, it is because Xingquan Mansion, where he started, is too pit, and there is no development potential at all.

The Liangguang region is different, although in terms of the whole country, the various resources, the number of people and the agricultural output of the Liangguang region are not very good, but you have to know what era it is, it is only the middle of the 16th century.

For later generations there is not much value of small mines, but it is enough to initially carry out the industrial development of this era, otherwise, this year of Foshan will not become the country's more famous steel producing area, you must know that looking at the whole country, the main iron ore and coal production areas are not in Foshan, Guangdong.

As long as it is easy to mine, even just a small mine is enough to support the current industrial development of the Tang Dynasty with military production as the core.

The Xunyu Plain and Yulin Plain in Guangxi and the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong are all grain-producing areas, which can provide a large amount of grain for the Tang Dynasty at present, not to mention that it can provide more grain after development.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of military strategy or from the perspective of resources, population, transportation and other transportation, the Liangguang region is more suitable for the development of the Tang Dynasty than Guizhou.

Sichuan is good, but Sichuan is easy to get in, but it's not easy to come out.

Huguang is more suitable, but what is Huguang? Although there are many resources and population, but the Huguang area is too close to the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and now the Tang Dynasty has entered Huguang, which is basically equivalent to stepping on the tail of the Ming Dynasty, just waiting for the Ming Dynasty to do its best to encircle and suppress it.

And it's a strict and speedy encirclement and suppression!

It is impossible to give Li Xuan much time for development!

It is necessary to go south to Liangguang, but if Li Xuan wants to go south, he has to take down Liuzhou City first, and then he can't Li Xuan go south with a large number of administrative staff and troops, but in the end, he can only squat in Huaiyuan County or Rong County, at least there must be a place like Liuzhou Mansion City to be able to match the style of Li Xuan and the Tang Dynasty!

Hao Bonian did not stay at Anjia Wharf for too long, but soon led his army back north, leaving only a small number of cavalry and garrisons in the Xiangzhou area to control the areas on both sides of the Liujiang River in Xiangzhou.

The main force is to return to Liuzhou City in the north!

When Hao Bonian led the main force to arrive outside Liuzhou City, it happened that the second batch of 500 stone grain sent by the Cen family in Huaiyuan County also arrived outside Liuzhou City.

Previously, Huaiyuan Cen's family also sent the first batch of 400 stone grain, and now with the addition of these 500 stone grain, it is equivalent to Huaiyuan Cen's family giving 900 stone grain to the Tang Dynasty King Master for nothing.

If these grains are calculated according to gold and silver, they are not very high, but in Liuzhou Mansion, which has been fighting for more than a month, food is already extremely scarce, and the Ming Dynasty has also begun to block the transportation of grain into Liuzhou Mansion, these grains are more precious.

In the future, the Cen family in Huaiyuan County will also sell 2,000 stone of grain to the Tang Dynasty Wang Shi every month, and said that the next month's 2,000 stone grain has already begun to be shipped, and in less than a month, they will be able to transport these 2,000 stone grain to Liuzhou in 20 days.

These grains will greatly alleviate the current pressure on military rations faced by the Tang Dynasty.

In view of the fact that the Cen family in Huaiyuan County was so happy, Hao Bonian personally met with the person in charge of the Cen family who was responsible for sending grain, that is, Cen Fan, the eldest son of Cen Chunlin, the head of the Cen family.
