When Li Xuan officially gave the order, the many generals who had the task on their shoulders turned over and rushed to the troops.

At the same time, the rest of the flag soldiers behind Li Xuan also waved the flag in their hands and conveyed the order to the whole army to charge.

In view of the fact that there was an error in the transmission of flags during the Battle of Rongxian County, there will be two flag soldiers for each order to be transmitted, and at the same time, for major orders, heralds will be sent to ride fast horses for oral transmission!

Of course, on the battlefield where there are great changes at this moment, the command transmission of the Tang Dynasty is still mainly based on the flag language, and the heralds on fast horses are only used as a means of prevention.

In this way, even if there is a mistake in the transmission of the order of the flag soldier, the herald who catches up with him will be able to convey the correct name in time.

In this large-scale battle, not counting the heralds in the rest of the troops, the command center where Li Xuan was located alone had more than a dozen banner soldiers and dozens of heralds.

The units received orders one after another and carried out related operations, and the units began to move forward, but these units did not include the first regiment of the 1st Infantry Brigade!

This ace force in the Tang Dynasty, which is second to none, is the task of a strategic reserve in today's crucial battle.

Li Xuan's external caliber is to leave the most important first step corps at the most critical moment, but Li Xuan's inner thoughts are that there will inevitably be a large number of casualties in this Wuzhou battle, and the participating troops, whether they are two garrison brigades or Liuzhou Independent Regiment, or the regular army, as long as they are put in, they will have a lot of casualties, and even if they are unlucky, they will suffer extremely heavy casualties.

In this case, Li Xuan naturally needs to avoid the loss of the core troops.

The First Step, as the earliest and most powerful unit in the army, could easily be lost under the city of Wuzhou.

Because in Li Xuan's heart, even if the other infantry units were all combined, they were not as important as the First Infantry Corps.

Therefore, he wanted to keep the First Advance Corps, although it was said to be a strategic reserve, but Li Xuan never intended to put the First Tier Corps into the battlefield.

If the attacking force fails, then Li Xuan will not hesitate to withdraw his troops from Wuzhou City, and then lead the troops with the first division as the core to bypass Wuzhou and continue eastward into Guangdong.

As for whether Guizhou and other places in Guangxi will be lost at that time, he can't care about it, and he will go all the way east to seize Zhaoqing and Guangzhou and even the whole of Guangdong, and then slowly accumulate strength again.

He had the determination to attack Wuzhou, and for this he did not hesitate to commit two garrison brigades, three infantry regiments of the regular army, and one independent regiment of Liuzhou, which could be expected to suffer heavy casualties.

But in order to fight a Wuzhou, it is not enough for him to put the first step of the last strategic reserve into it!

These are Li Xuan's own inner thoughts, others naturally don't know, and others still think that Li Xuan keeps the first step of the corps and is ready to invest when the battle situation changes.

Seeing that the troops on the front line had already launched operations one after another, Li Xuan once again picked up the telescope and observed the battlefield!

In the east, with the 3rd Infantry Brigade as the core, the troops assisted by the 3rd Garrison Brigade were attacking the Ming army in front of them, and many soldiers continued to rush up, and then climbed the collapsed city wall that had become a rubble and rubble to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army!

At the beginning, the 5th Garrison Regiment of the 3rd Garrison Brigade was responsible for rushing to the section of the collapsed city wall, and then the fierce battle lasted only a moment, but this garrison regiment of 3,000 men had already suffered no less than five or six hundred casualties at this time, and the casualty ratio of this level was almost declared that the garrison regiment was disabled, and from time to time some soldiers turned around and fled.

But these fleeing soldiers were covered with muskets and bows and arrows from the rear, and the few deserters who ran back could not escape the hunt from the 2nd Cavalry Battalion!

There was a strong enemy in front and behind, and there was a warlord team in the back, which made the Fifth Garrison Regiment in the middle almost suffer the worst casualties since the formation of the army!

When another wave of deserters was slaughtered in batches by the 2nd Cavalry Battalion in the rear, the 5th Garrison Brigade, which had already shown a tendency to disperse, once again stabilized its position, but with heavy casualties and extremely low morale, they were practically unable to attack!

At this time, the heavy infantry of the 2nd Assault Battalion, which came from the rear, finally rushed to this gap!

Immediately, the officers of the Fifth Garrison Regiment shouted one by one: "Rush with the brothers of the assault battalion, the assault battalion is invincible, as long as you follow them, you will definitely be able to rush up, as long as we rush up, we will win, as long as we rush up, we will be able to live!" ”

When the soldiers of the Fifth Garrison Regiment from the Ming Army saw that the friendly troops of the elite and heavily armored Second Assault Battalion had already rushed forward and acted as the main force of the attack, they were shouting, crying, and even rushing forward like crazy!

This retreat is death, and it is death, staying in place is also death, only rushing over, rushing over, they can survive!

Moreover, now the brothers of the Second Assault Battalion are at the forefront, they are all elites in the army, and those adults can sacrifice their cannon fodder at will, but they will definitely not sacrifice these elites in the army at will.

In fact, in the hearts of the big men above, this second assault battalion was also used as cannon fodder, to attract the attention of the Ming army, so that the Ming army could draw reinforcements.

In order to create favorable conditions for the second blasting, the attack of the Liuzhou Independent Regiment and the 1st Assault Battalion!

Therefore, when the soldiers of the Fifth Garrison Regiment rushed up again with the Second Assault Battalion, they finally climbed up the ruins, and then what they saw was a dense Ming army, and countless Ming troops were directly in front of them.

And the elite of the assault battalion, which makes them envious and even feared on weekdays, although they fought bravely and killed countless enemies, they still inevitably fell one after another under the swords and guns of the Ming army.

The city was in a hurry, and the Ming army even ignored the casualties of the enemy and me, and directly fired indiscriminately at the ruined city wall, and even the bowl cannon was pushed out, and then bombarded the crowd!

You must know that among the soldiers on both sides fighting on the ruins at this time, the Ming army is more!

For every ten people killed and wounded by the bows and arrows and cannonballs fired by the Ming army, at least six or seven of them were the Ming army itself!

But now, Yu Dayou, who is in charge of command, can't take care of these anymore, and the fierceness of these thieves outside the city is honestly beyond his expectations.

He has been in the army for many years, he has fought against the pirates, fought with the bandits, and suppressed the rebellion of many bandits and thieves, but he has never seen such a fierce enemy who is not afraid of death!

Under the stubborn interception of their own side, the pseudo-Tang thief army on the opposite side kept falling, but people kept falling and people kept rushing up, and those thief soldiers who rushed up later even rushed up by stepping on the bodies of the dead and wounded.

"The military law of the thief army is even stricter than that of Qin!" Seeing the pseudo-Tang thief army in front of him, Yu Dayou suddenly had this kind of thought!

He didn't think that the reason why these thieves on the other side would not retreat was because they had the courage to fight, and even he could see that many of the thief soldiers had collapsed, but they were still crying and rushing forward with their swords!

And the reason for these thieves to rush forward desperately is very simple, because they have no way out!

Behind them were the same dense team of musketeers and archers, and the musketeers and archers of these thieves not only shot at the Ming army at the head of the city, but also at their deserters!

At the same time, the cavalry of the thief army has always been eyeing the rear, and Yu Dayou knows very well that the target of these thief cavalry is not himself, he has never seen a cavalry charging the city wall on horseback, the target of these thief cavalry is their own family, to be precise, deserters!

With more than 200 elite cavalry as the battle team, this kind of thing is estimated to be only possible by the inhumane pseudo-Tang thief army.

The thief army used extremely harsh military methods to forcibly drive the thief soldiers to launch a fierce attack, even if they suffered heavy casualties in the process, but the Ming army as the defending side was not much better, and even more heavy casualties.

At this time, the two sides were actually in a big melee, and to be honest, the combat effectiveness of the puppet Tang thief army was still much stronger than that of the Ming army, even if it was a garrison army.

Not to mention that there are now more than 400 heavy armor soldiers of the pseudo-Tang thief army rushing up, these elites of the pseudo-Tang thief army wearing heavy armor are definitely not easy to deal with, if they can be easily dealt with, then they can't stand the heavy armor on their bodies.

The Ming army defending the city could only rely on numerical superiority, or even fight for their lives to kill and injure the heavily armored elite of these pseudo-Tang thief armies.

And to kill these heavy armor elites, the price to pay is also huge, basically every time you kill or wound an enemy heavy infantry, you have to pay the price of seven or eight people or more!

And this kind of exchange made Yu Dayou worried, if it weren't for the fact that he had already seen that the 3,000 people of the superintendent were already coming, I am afraid that he would not be able to help but ask Wang Yue for help again.

It would be good to wait for the 3,000 people to arrive, and then they will definitely be able to completely drive down these pseudo-Tang thief troops in front of them!

There was a fierce battle going on on the eastern city wall, and the fierceness of the battle was selectively ignored by Li Xuan, but the officers under the specific command of the front line could not ignore this tragic and huge casualties!

Lieutenant Colonel He Yunfang, the deputy commander of the Third Garrison Brigade next to him, saw the tragic front line, and finally couldn't help but say to Chen Keqiao, the commander of the Third Infantry Brigade and the commander of the Eastern Front: "General, I'm afraid the casualties of the Fifth Garrison Regiment are already more than one-third...... I'm afraid ......"

When he said this, his voice was full of urgency and worry: "Even though the non-commissioned officers in the garrison are surrendered soldiers, the officers on the front line are all the elite of my Tang Dynasty!" ”
