Although Lieutenant Colonel He Yunfang said these words, he still didn't dare to say anything like withdrawing troops!

Because His Majesty has personally issued an edict that those who retreat without authorization should be killed on the spot, and this order is not only for the Fifth Garrison Regiment, but also for the whole army, including their middle and high-ranking generals.

Chen Keqiao didn't look at Lieutenant Colonel He Yunfang, the deputy commander of the Third Garrison Brigade beside him, but continued to look at the battlefield in front of him expressionlessly, and at the same time said coldly: "If the Fifth Garrison Regiment can't rush up, then send the Sixth Garrison Regiment to rush up, if these two regiments are defeated, then let the Fifth Infantry Regiment and the Sixth Infantry Regiment rush up, if the soldiers of these four regiments are all dead, then I will lead the Commander Team to rush up until we take Wuzhou City!" ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said in a resolute tone: "As Your Majesty said, this battle is related to the rise and fall of the country, and we will never retreat if we don't take Wuzhou!" ”

Hearing Chen Keqiao, the commander of the Eastern Front, say this, although the others wanted to say something, they also consciously closed their mouths one by one!

Everyone knows the importance of the Battle of Wuzhou, they are all middle and senior generals in the Tang Dynasty, and they can also access some secrets, they know that the Huguang Ming Army has entered Xingquan Mansion, and it is menacing, and the Second Army is probably more than lucky in Guizhou.

In this case, if they are blocked under Wuzhou City, then what awaits everyone will be a dead end!

Wuzhou must be taken, this is not only Li Xuan's decision, but also the unanimous decision of a group of middle and senior generals, otherwise, no one will stand up against it in the battle.

Although Li Xuan's prestige and power are high enough, everyone is still allowed to speak freely at the strategic meeting.

So if the generals have different opinions, they can say it, and they don't have to worry about offending anyone, of course, whether Li Xuan can listen to it or not is another matter.

After Chen Keqiao once again picked up the binoculars and observed the battlefield on the Eastern Front in front of him, he immediately ordered: "Let the Sixth Garrison Regiment launch a charge against the city wall in front of you, contain the enemy army, and kill those who retreat without an order!"

Then order the 6th Infantry Regiment to prepare for the charge of the whole regiment! ”

After hearing Chen Keqiao's order, everyone gasped, it is easy to understand that the Sixth Garrison Regiment launched a charge, the garrison is used as cannon fodder at this time, but let the regular army like the Sixth Infantry Regiment is also ready to launch a full-regiment charge, which is obviously also consumed by the Sixth Infantry Regiment.

This Chen Keqiao is really ruthless, you must know that this is the commander of his Third Infantry Brigade, in the minds of everyone, the Third Infantry Brigade is his Chen Keqiao's troops, and he is willing to use it as cannon fodder!

What is Chen Keqiao reluctant to reluctant?

As an officer from the Imperial Academy, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, a senior general brought out by Hao Bonian, he is more familiar with the military system of the Tang Dynasty than ordinary generals, and His Majesty personally controls the recruitment of soldiers and the distribution of salaries, so this unit cannot be the private army of a single senior general.

Therefore, the death and injury of his subordinates will certainly be heartbroken, but it is definitely not because he thinks that his troops are because of it!

What's more, the assault plan was proposed by him, and now that the assault has been launched, he naturally needs to take on the task of accompanying the attack!

Yes, the eastern battlefield is just a companion attack, but even if it is a companion attack, it may need to be fought fiercely enough to be able to contain a large number of Ming troops, so as to create a favorable opportunity for the breakthrough of the main force!

As long as Wuzhou can be captured in this battle, as he proposed and insisted on a strong attack, and at the same time led the troops to bear the greatest pressure on the entire battlefield, his combat exploits are naturally the greatest, and this rank and position will not be able to go up for a while and a half, because the current highest military rank in the Tang Dynasty is major general, and in terms of position, the regular army brigade commander is also the limit, even if it is a military commander, it is only a part-time job, just like the commander of the Eastern Front battlefield he is now serving.

If you have made a meritorious service, you can hope for a knighthood and be promoted from the current baron to a viscount!

When Chen Keqiao personally commanded and continued to invest many troops to attack the eastern city wall!

Suddenly, there was a huge noise from the west, which was even bigger than before, and even made people feel like they were shaking the ground!

Chen Keqiao immediately looked to the west, and saw that a large cloud of smoke and dust had risen from the west, and at this time he finally showed a smile: "The blasting has been successful, and the victory of my Wang Shi is in sight!" ”

He immediately said: "Order the Sixth Infantry Regiment to immediately launch a regimental charge, and be sure to contain more enemy troops!" ”

Not only Chen Keqiao's expression showed joy, but also many middle and senior officers on the Eastern Front battlefield, they more or less knew some battle plans, and many people knew that there would be a second blasting, and their task on the Eastern Front battlefield was to contain more enemy troops and create opportunities for the general attack after the second successful blasting!

Now, this opportunity has finally arrived!

Lieutenant Colonel Jia Xingquan, the commander of the Sixth Garrison Regiment who was on the front line to supervise the battle, heard this blast and immediately shouted: "Brothers, the main force of the 1st Infantry Brigade has launched a general offensive on the Western Front, and victory is in sight. ”

But as soon as he finished saying this, an arrow fell from the sky, and then penetrated the military uniform on his body, and directly inserted it into his chest, Lieutenant Colonel Jia Xingquan, who was hit hard, let out a muffled snort, and then fell from the horse and fell to the ground, several guards around him quickly stepped forward, but one of them looked at it and shook his head directly, and then took the body of Lieutenant Colonel Jia Xingquan and got back on the horse.

But these guards and heralds did not shout, one of them returned with Jia Xingquan's body, while the others quickly found the general flag of Major Lei Tianjun, the deputy commander of the Sixth Garrison Regiment, and then rode straight away!

After finding Lei Tianjun, after a lieutenant who led the team said a few words to Major Lei Tianjun, Major Lei Tianjun's face changed slightly, then he frowned and nodded slightly, and then said to the guards behind him: "According to the battlefield regulations, this officer will take over from the regiment leader and continue to command the battle!" ”

In order to avoid the death or injury of the main general on the battlefield and cause turmoil in the troops, the Tang Dynasty Royal Division has formulated quite cautious relevant regulations in this regard!

First of all, the most important point is that the guards who are responsible for carrying and holding high the general flag must not lower the general flag at any time, even if the main general has died, let alone abandon the general flag.

And it is absolutely impossible to make loud noises about the death or injury of the commander-in-chief, and the adjutant and guards of the adjutant must find the commander who takes over the command as soon as possible in accordance with the battlefield regulations!

According to the adjustment of the battlefield, when the commander is killed or injured and can no longer perform the important task of command, the command will be passed on in accordance with the priority of the military rank and the extension of the position!

If there is no senior officer sent from above, then under normal circumstances, after the death of the commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, the command will be transferred to the deputy commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, and the deputy commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade will be transferred to the brigade chief of staff of the brigade after the death of the deputy commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade.

This transfer of command is only temporary, and will be suspended after the corresponding officers sent by the upper peak to accept it.

Now, after the death of the commander of the 6th Garrison Regiment, the deputy commander of the 6th Garrison Regiment took over the command as a matter of course, and did not cause turmoil in the 6th Garrison Regiment.

Even many people, even a few battalion commanders at the front, didn't know that their regimental commanders had already died!

With such chaos on the battlefield and a major battle involving tens of thousands of people, it was impossible to notice anything else, and the orders were generally issued through flags or special heralds.

When the battle is not over or when you don't see it with your own eyes, the soldiers on the front line will not find that their main general has been killed.

This perfect command transfer system is also an important reason why although the Tang Dynasty Division has experienced many fierce battles and has also been killed on the battlefield by the commander of the battalion and other commanders, the unit has never collapsed because of this.

After all, in contemporary wars, even high-ranking generals are on the front line, and the probability of death or injury is quite high, and the Tang Dynasty has to guard against it, and has made full preparations for this.

Only half a minute after Lieutenant Colonel Jia Xingquan was killed, the deputy regiment commander, Major Lei Tianjun, successfully took over the command of the whole regiment, and then led the sixth garrison regiment to continue to launch a fierce attack on the city wall in front of him!

They did not rush into the gap formed by the collapsed city wall like the Fifth Garrison Regiment and the First Assault Battalion, the place over there was so small, in fact, it could not accommodate thousands of people at all, the Fifth Garrison Regiment and the First Assault Battalion were no longer able to accommodate it, and the battle over there, both sides actually used the tactics of adding fuel and continuously sent troops up, but the front-line fighting troops were actually only two or three hundred people, and more people were carrying out regular landing operations on both sides of the gap.

This includes the 6th Garrison Regiment!

After the death of Lieutenant Colonel Jia Xingquan of the 6th Garrison Regiment, it did not affect the operations of the 6th Garrison Regiment, and the 6th Garrison Regiment continued to launch a fierce attack on the city wall in front of it according to the order of the commander of the Eastern Front, Chen Keqiao, and cooperated with the 5th Garrison Regiment and the 1st Assault Battalion that attacked the gap.

At this time, the 6th Infantry Regiment in the rear also launched a charge of the whole army, and their nature was similar to that of the 6th Garrison Regiment, which was to launch a charge and carry out a battle to ascend the city.

At this time, on the battlefield of the Eastern Front, only one Fifth Infantry Regiment was left in the troops under Chen Keqiao, but in fact, the Fifth Infantry Regiment had already participated in the battle.

Many of the soldiers in the 1st Assault Battalion were drawn from the 5th Infantry Regiment, and the musketeers of the 5th Infantry Regiment were also responsible for suppressing the Ming army in the city.

The only ones who have not participated in the front-line battles are the direct units that serve as the overseers and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion.

Now Chen Keqiao has played all the cards that should be played, and the rest of him can only wait, waiting for the news from the Western Front, waiting for the news of a big victory or a fiasco!

If he wins, it's easy to say anything, if he loses, Chen Keqiao can already foresee the miserable end of himself and even the entire Tang Dynasty!
