Seeing that the casualties of the troops in front of him were increasing, Hao Bonian was not moved, because the current casualties were still within the expected range.

At present, the casualties of the troops are mainly concentrated in the Tusi soldiers and the Third Garrison Brigade, because when Hao Bonian arranged the tactics, he used these two troops as cannon fodder troops.

In particular, the third garrison brigade that launched the accompanying attack was equipped with average equipment, and only a very small number of them had armor, and their number was large, and there were more than 4,000 people who launched the charge, which was a great threat to the Ming army at the head of the city, so it also endured the most Ming counterattack force.

As a result, the casualties of the 3rd Garrison Brigade were relatively large!

However, this still did not move Hao Bonian, he calmly watched the casualties of the troops on the front line, and on the other hand, he watched his own long-range firepower troops suppress the Ming army at the head of the city.

If the Ming army wants to counterattack, it must return to the city, those archers still have to lean out and bend their bows and shoot arrows, and those gunners also have to push their cannons to show themselves from the battlements.

And this gave the gunners, musketeers, and archers of the Tang Dynasty Division an excellent chance to kill!

Just when the counterattack of the Ming army caused certain casualties to the charging infantry of their own side, the Ming army at the head of the city also suffered a large number of casualties in a short period of time.

For a time, both sides were killed and wounded, and the casualties of the Ming army on the city head were even more severe, and some of the Ming soldiers who dared to counterattack on the city head were killed and wounded in large numbers, and even some city walls had gaps in defense.

At this time, Hao Bonian said: "It's time for the commandos to attack!" ”

When the armies of the two sides were fighting fiercely, the commandos in the Tang Dynasty Wang's division had already moved through zigzag trenches and tunnels to the trenches that were only more than 20 meters away from the city wall and were ambushed.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Xu had already seen the order from Hao Bonian at this time, and then looked up to the front and left and right, when he saw that his friendly troops had completely attracted the attention of the Ming army, and his own long-range fire troops had also suppressed the enemy troops at the head of the city, he decisively drew his command knife and pointed forward, and then said loudly: "Commando, attack!" ”

When Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Xu shouted loudly, the herald behind him also blew the horn of the charge!

The sound of the horn sounded rapidly and continuously, even outside the city of Liuzhou Mansion, where the guns and cannons rumbled, it was extremely harsh!

After hearing the sound of the horn, the officers at all levels of the commando team also drew their command knives one by one, and then brandished their command knives and shouted: "Rush!

"Kill, the Tang Dynasty is invincible" This is a slogan shouted by an infantry officer of the regular army of the Tang Army!

"Grenadier will fight to the death!" This is a slogan shouted by a grenadier officer!

"Rush forward, kill them all and get a bounty!" This is the slogan shouted by the Tusi soldiers' own generals!

These more than 500 people howled and jumped out of the trenches one after another, and under the leadership of officers at all levels, they launched a charge towards the city wall more than 20 meters away!

At this time, the city wall was only more than 20 meters, and the Ming army on the head of the city was suppressed by their own artillery, and there were Liuzhou Tusi soldiers and their own ordinary infantry to attract the enemy's firepower head-on, and there were garrison troops in other directions to contain the strength of the Ming army.

As long as they rush over, climb the city wall, and stand firm to meet the friendly forces, this Liuzhou city will be at your fingertips!

And they will also become the first contributors in this battle, and it is not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune!

At this time, in the assault team, the fastest rush was not the regular army belonging to the First Infantry Brigade, but dozens of soldiers drawn from the Tusi soldiers!

The Tusi soldiers were originally known for being fearless of death, and these elites selected from the soldiers were all ruthless characters who didn't take their lives seriously.

In addition, they also wore heavy armor temporarily supported by the Tang Army, and the waist knives made of stainless steel were also held in their hands, and even the shields in their hands were of good quality, and this equipment made those soldiers have a great increase in confidence.

He didn't even dodge the arrows or shrunnel of the shells from the counterattack of the Ming army at the head of the city, and rushed towards the head of the city with a scream!

Comparatively speaking, the soldiers drawn from the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Garrison Brigade were much more low-key, thinking that the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade would abide by a certain formation and strictly obey the orders of the officers even when they were charging.

The soldiers of the 3rd Garrison Brigade were more timid and followed!

However, in any case, the charge of these more than 500 people instantly attracted the attention of both the enemy and us.

This is because these more than 500 people are really too special, grenadiers and archers, light armor sword and shield soldiers are quite good, everyone does not pay much attention to it, but more than half, reaching more than 200 heavy armor sword and shield soldiers, is blind to the eyes of the Ming army generals and ordinary soldiers in the city.

This is more than 200 heavily armored sword and shield soldiers, once they are allowed to rush to the city, it will be a massacre for the Ming army at the head of the city!

In these years, whether it was in the Tang Dynasty Division or in the Ming Army, the number of heavy infantry was relatively small, and it was impossible for this kind of thing to be able to concentrate more than 200 heavy infantry on a section of the city wall of only twenty or thirty meters like the Tang Dynasty Division.

This is not to say that there are not so many people in armor in the border army, but because it is difficult for them to gather these people in armor.

The soldiers in heavy armor in the various units of the Ming army were basically the personal soldiers of high-ranking generals and middle- and low-ranking officers.

You want to gather them and charge, it's impossible!

How can you possibly bring together the middle and junior officers of the whole army? They still have to command the ordinary soldiers.

How do you gather the pro-soldiers of the high-ranking generals? That's the kind of private soldier of a general, the kind that won't be handed over if killed.

Therefore, in so many battles between the Ming army and the Tang army, it is very common to see a lot of armored soldiers in the Ming army, but they have never seen them gather armored soldiers on a large scale, reaching hundreds or even thousands of people.

However, there is no such limitation in the Tang Dynasty, the troops are directly subordinate to the emperor, and those heavy infantry are just an ordinary branch of the military, not the personal soldiers of the generals, let alone middle and low-level officers.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty's division, except for the officers in the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen troops, the officers of other branches of the army do not wear armor!

Therefore, you will often see the musketeer officers of the Tang Army, who are only wearing cloth uniforms, holding command knives, leading the musketeers under their command to advance, and this officer is still riding a horse and walking in the forefront!

Armor, what are you kidding, wearing such heavy armor, they still ride horses to command the battle, and the southwest horse under their crotch can't support the weight of a knight wearing heavy armor.

However, now, the puppet Tang thief army has sent a heavy armored unit to charge against a small section of its city wall, which is worth it, it must be intercepted, otherwise, when they rush up, everyone will die!

Therefore, there is no need for the senior generals to give orders, and many middle and low-level officers of the Ming army have already asked their archers and gunners to divert their targets and intercept and shoot at the puppet Tang thief army commandos charging from the city.

But will they be able to stop it?

Impossible!

The assault team launched a dense charge, and the face was only twenty or thirty meters of the city wall, and even if it was added to the nearby city head of dozens of meters, the Ming army was only a few hundred people, and how many of these Ming soldiers were archers? And how many bowl cannons are there?

Not much at all!

Not to mention, more than half of the pseudo-Tang thief army that charged down was wearing heavy armor, and unless the Ming army's arrows hit the weak parts such as the façade, they would not be able to cause any damage to these heavy armored infantry at all.

Those bowl cannons are quite powerful, but the bowl cannons are also artillery, and this rate of fire is not to be counted on!

The rate of fire of the battalion artillery and heavy artillery of the Tang Wang Division is not very good, and the bowl mouth cannon of the Ming army is naturally not very good.

But at this time, the assault team of the Tang Dynasty King Division had already rushed to the city wall, and at this time, there was no need for the officers to give orders, the archers began to shoot at the head of the city to suppress the enemy army, and the grenadiers threw grenades at the head of the city in unison.

This city wall is only five or six meters, and the grenadiers are all strong soldiers in the Tang Army, and it is easy to throw grenades at the top of the city.

As the grenades were thrown at the head of the city and exploded one after another, the counterattack firepower of the Ming army on the head of the city was instantly weakened.

At this time, the long ladder with an iron hook at the top was also raised to the city wall one after another!

As soon as the long ladder was placed, those heavily armored sword and shield soldiers couldn't wait to climb the long ladder!

Their climbing movements are basically uniform, holding a shield on the top of their heads in one hand to prevent the Ming soldiers on the head of the city from pouring hot boiling water, hot oil, etc., directly biting the back of the steel knife in their mouths, grasping the long ladder with one hand, and stepping on the long ladder with both legs to climb up quickly.

Of course, there are also very confident people who are too lazy to use a shield to block the top of their heads, they are directly holding a long knife, this shield is too lazy to use, but just carry it on their backs, and then quickly climb up!

Although in the process of climbing up, some people were concentrated by the Ming army from time to time and fell, but most of the multi-armored sword and shield soldiers successfully climbed up.

After they climbed to the top of the city, although the Ming army organized infantry to resist desperately and wanted to drive them off the city, how could these ordinary light infantry of the Ming army be the opponent of the heavy infantry.

If they want to kill these Tang Army hoplites who have landed in the city, they need to pay the price of seven or eight or even more than ten people to succeed!

However, there were more than 200 Tang heavy armored infantry who landed in the city, and the Ming army in this section of the city wall was only four or five hundred people in total.

In less than a minute, some of the four or five hundred Ming troops had already fallen in a pool of blood, and more of them were running, either towards both sides of the city wall, or simply jumping off the city wall.

When Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Xu led the grenadiers to the top of the city, at a glance, it was all corpses and wounded!
