A Ming army thousand households even forgot their command duties at this time, and just let the soldiers under their command shoot themselves, but they were stunned on their horses!

The puppet Tang thief army on the opposite side only had half of its own troops, and the casualties were equally heavy, but why didn't they retreat? Why were they able to hold the queue so calmly and keep firing?

"Why?"

He doesn't understand!

It's a pity that no one can tell them why, because the two grenadier teams of the Tang Army suffered a lot of casualties at the same time, the casualties of the Ming Army's musket battalion were even more serious, when the Ming Army's musket battalion suffered more than 100 casualties, the overall casualty rate exceeded 30 percent, and even the musketeers in the front row were almost dead, and finally they couldn't hold on.

A young musketeer first broke down in this death ordeal, only to hear him cry out of his wow, then dropped the musket in his hand, and shouted: "I don't want to die, I want to go home, I don't want to die......"

Unfortunately, the young Ming musketeer was running in the direction of the front, and before he could take a few steps, a grenadier shot a bullet in the chest!

He seemed to pause as he ran, and then continued to fall down in the inertia of running forward, and after falling to the ground, he lay on the ground with his face sideways, looking at the ground on the horizon, and muttering: I want to go home......

The death of this young musketeer was just a microcosm of the Ming army's musket battalion, when the pseudo-Tang thief army grenadier team on the opposite side carried out another round of shooting and hit more than 20 Ming musketeers, the soldiers in the Ming army musket battalion on the opposite side finally couldn't stand this way of fighting that you give me a shot, I give you a shot, and you can't hide.

This is not a battle at all, this is killing people at the same time as killing others, and in the end they can't escape death!

These musketeers want to dodge, or even turn and run away, and when that happens, they can be described in another word: rush!

When the Ming Army Musket Battalion on the opposite side showed signs of collapse, the soldiers of the Liuzhou Independent Regiment and the assault battalion also launched a charge!

"Charge the whole army!"

"Quick, rush down!"

They rushed down from the ruins, and then, ignoring the sparse counterattack of the Ming army, they pounced on the Ming army on the opposite side like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the spearmen in the Ming army's musket battalion also wanted to come forward and fight with their spears.

But the whole formation is already in chaos!

Especially when they saw that there were not only a large number of heavy infantry of the Pseudo-Tang Thief Army rushing down on the side of the ruins, but also an almost endless number of Pseudo-Tang Thief Army musketeers, sword and shield soldiers behind them, there was still the courage to resist!

Yes, that's right, at this time, the 2,000 troops of the 1st Infantry Corps, to which the 1st Infantry Brigade belongs, had already poured into the gap in the ruins to provide support to the troops at the front.

The troops of the Tang Dynasty Division continued to rush in from this gap in the ruins, and after these Ming troops saw that there was no hope of resistance, they naturally retreated quickly.

'Quick, quick, keep up!' Beneath the ruins, an officer wearing a colonel's uniform and the rank of major urged his soldiers to quickly pass through the gap, and they wanted to take advantage of this precious time to further expand the station and avoid the Ming army from making up for it.

"Don't crowd here, spread out to both sides, capture the walls on both sides, quick, what are you still doing here, waiting for death?"

"The first and second teams followed forward to support the front, the third team attacked to the left, and the fourth and fifth teams followed to block the enemy forces on the right flank!" At this time, this major, like the other officers, had already abandoned his horse, climbed the ruins directly with the ordinary soldiers, and personally commanded his 1st Infantry Battalion to fight.

In order to fight for this gap in the ruins, the Liuzhou Independent Regiment and the three temporary assault battalions paid a heavy price, and what the First Infantry Battalion had to do was to reinforce these troops, consolidate the gap defense line and extend the attack on both sides, completely shattering the illusion of the Ming army's counter-replenishment.

Time passed bit by bit, the first infantry battalion, as the current ace infantry battalion in the Tang Dynasty's division, although it was only 500 people, but its combat effectiveness was not weak, especially when they climbed the wide city wall and listed a tight queue to advance gradually, the combat effectiveness that broke out was actually more than that of the Liuzhou Independent Regiment and the assault battalion.

Because this kind of battle is no longer a melee, but a line battle, this kind of combat mode is what the regular infantry battalion of the Tang Dynasty Division is best at.

Assault melee, this kind of combat The first battalion can't catch up with the Liuzhou Independent Regiment, and it is not as good as the assault battalion composed of the elite temporarily, but when the first infantry battalion has a solid advancing position, their gradual advance is unstoppable.

The ranks of musketeers and spearmen were enough to sweep away any enemy force that dared to stand in the way of the broad walls as they advanced.

Seeing that his soldiers had stabilized the situation, the battalion commander of the major had the heart to pay attention to other things.

The first thing to see was the dead and wounded who covered almost the entire ruins, some of them Tang soldiers in dark blue uniforms, and the other part of them were soldiers of the Ming army, and before the 1st Infantry Battalion rushed up, the soldiers of the Liuzhou Independent Regiment and the assault battalion fought fiercely around the ruins.

Not only the ruins, but in fact the ruins were also surrounded by dead and wounded!

And among these dead and wounded, the battalion commander of this major saw a soldier bandaging a young captain!

The young captain he recognized was Han You, the captain of the 1st Grenadier Brigade of the First Infantry Corps, who belonged to the same group as him.

Immediately stepped forward quickly, took two steps forward, looked down, and then said, "Brother Han, are you okay?" ”

Captain Han You was shot in the shoulder, although the severe pain and blood loss made his face extremely pale, but he struggled and said: "It's okay, you can't die, Brother Gu, you have a heavy task, don't pay attention to Han!" ”

Major Gu nodded slightly, although Han You said that he couldn't die, but who knows, whether the injured people on the battlefield can survive or not depends on whether God gives face, he only saw too many people who were slightly injured in their hands and feet, but in the end they were the ones who died because of infection.

What's more, although Han You's injury is not fatal, it is definitely not light, it is considered a serious injury, and it is difficult to say whether he can survive or not.

But now, obviously not the time to be sad, if this is to be sad, then no matter how many tears he has, the casualties in this battle are definitely thousands, not to mention other places, just a small gap in the ruins of the city wall, which is only a few tens of meters, at least more than 100 Tang soldiers have been killed or injured!

Their corpses are enough to cover the entire gap in the ruins!

So he just nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Gu will take the first step!" ”

Immediately, he said to the medical soldier who was bandaging Captain Han You: "Bandage Captain Han well, and then take him back immediately!" ”

The Tang Dynasty division generally treats its own wounded as much as possible, but the treatment of being able to be carried back directly during the battle to continue treatment is only available to officers.

After all, the value of an officer is far greater than that of an ordinary soldier, and the officer must give priority to treatment.

When the battle on the other side of the ruins gap was still going on, Li Xuan, who was in the rear, had already given a new order: "Order the 3rd Garrison Brigade and the 4th Garrison Brigade to strengthen their attacks and be sure to entangle the enemy!" ”

Now the gap in the ruins has been successfully broken through, but the defense line is still not stable enough, once there are a large number of Ming reinforcements to make up for it, it is very likely to fall short, so he must continue to put pressure on the Ming army in other directions, and he cannot let the Ming army calmly deploy more troops to make up for it.

In fact, his worries were not unreasonable, because Wang Yue was doing just that.

When he saw the rout of the musket battalion, he did not know that the matter was going to be serious, on the one hand, he strictly ordered the remaining troops of the superintendent to be thrown into it, and told them to hold it no matter what, and on the other hand, he urgently transferred his last strategic reserve: Yu Dayou's Guangzhou battalion to reinforcements.

But he was just about to transfer the Guangzhou battalion to reinforce the gap, and on the battlefields on the other two sides, those pseudo-Tang thief armies also climbed to the top of the city one after another, and those pseudo-Tang thief armies rushed to the head of the city at a heavy price, and then fought with the Ming army in person.

For a time, the generals of the Ming army, who were responsible for the defense of other directions, were all in a hurry to Wang Yue and asked for reinforcements!

At this time, Wang Yue's face was already slightly pale!

As a civilian official who understands military affairs, how can he, who is in charge of the defense of Guangzhou city single-handedly, still not understand that there is a major crisis on three sides of Guangzhou City.

It's not just the gap in the northern wall, it's the east and west as well!

Each of these three aspects needs reinforcements!

What to do?

Sending reinforcements to plug the gap?

But where did the reinforcements come from?

Apart from the Guangzhou battalion, he had no other reinforcements at all!

This Canton battalion is going to be transferred to the northern city wall, if it is used in the east and west, the northern city wall will be defeated!

But if you don't save both sides, you can't do it, in the face of today's crisis, he has no choice!

What to do?

At this time, the rumbling cannon in his ears was like a talisman, constantly urging him to make a choice!

Wang Yue is difficult to choose, but it is a great thing for Li Xuan, seeing that the northern city wall has made continuous breakthroughs, and even the first step of the army has completely rushed to the city, he already knows that the overall situation of this battle has been decided!

Even though the follow-up Ming army may make up for it, it can't be just a death struggle!

This Guangzhou, he is going to decide!

The battle in Guangzhou City continued, but after the northern city wall was opened by the puppet Tang thief army and rushed in, the defeat of the Ming army was already a certainty, Li Xuan knew, and Wang Yue himself knew better.

But Wang Yue is unwilling!

He's going to counterattack!
