Valley Emperor

Wuzhou's failure can also be said to be unnoticed, but this Guangzhou, he has worked hard for several months, and has made sufficient preparations for this, but why can't he keep it?

It shouldn't, it's not scientific!

He wants to counterattack, no matter what, he will drive the pseudo-Tang bandit army out of the city!

Guangzhou City, Rong must not fall into the hands of the bandit army, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!

To this end, regardless of the critical situation in the east and west of the city walls, he forcibly transferred the last 1,000 members of the Superintendent and the 3,000 members of the Guangzhou Battalion. The 6,000-strong army launched a massive counterattack on the northern city wall!

He even put on his armor and stepped forward to supervise the battle, in order to retake the northern city wall and drive out the pseudo-Tang thieves who had already climbed the city wall!

However, at this time, almost half of the northern city wall had already fallen into the hands of the Tang army, and the two main infantry regiments of the 1st Infantry Brigade had even entered the city.

The counter-offensive Ming army not only has no advantage in quality and equipment, but also has any advantage in quantity.

In this counter-offensive, even though Wang Yue personally raised his sword and went into battle to boost morale, they still failed to succeed. They attacked the defense line of the Great Tang Wang Shi like a tide, and then died under the defense line!

After just a few blows, hundreds of casualties had already been reached. At this time, even Wang Yue's threat to kill and kill the generals was unable to get those soldiers to launch a counterattack.

Because that is no longer a counterattack, but a death sentence!

In the afternoon, the Ming army, which had no hope of counterattack, completely collapsed. Countless defeated soldiers fled, and many people even surrendered directly in front of the formation. With the hopeless counterattack on the northern city wall, the Ming army in the east and west finally could not support it. collapse.

In the evening, the troops of the King's Division of the Tang Dynasty completely occupied the northern, western and eastern city walls, and a large number of Ming troops fled towards the southern city. Of course, some people did not flee but surrendered directly.

That night, after initially controlling several important locations in the city, the Master of the Tang Dynasty did not waste his energy in clearing the city, but instead directly lit the torches and continued to launch a strong attack on Nancheng!

Wang Yue led the Ming army to resist bravely and fearlessly, resulting in even more casualties of the Ming army guarding the city that night than during the day, with an overall loss of almost 2,000 people.

After the heavy losses, he had to completely withdraw from the southern city wall, and then boarded the ships to retreat under the cover of the naval gunfire of the Ming army navy moored on the shore of the Pearl River.

The strong attack and retreat lasted almost all night, and during the whole night, the King of the Tang Dynasty also put a large number of artillery on the southern city wall that had just been occupied, and launched a fierce artillery attack on the ships of the Ming army moored on the Pearl River!

The Ming army navy used naval artillery to fight back, and the two sides used a total of more than 100 artillery pieces to attack!

In the early hours of the morning, the Ming army navy was covering the last batch of retreating Ming army soldiers to withdraw!

On a Ming army's Fuchuan battleship, Wang Yue with bloodshot eyes looked at the city of Guangzhou in the dawn, and did not speak for a long time!

The group of Ming army generals behind him also looked ugly.

After a while, Yu Dayou suddenly said, "How could we lose?"

"Even if the pseudo-Tang bandit army is coming, but I am also fully prepared!"

"Our army has sufficient and sophisticated ordnance in this battle, and our troops are considered sufficient, and the soldiers are desperately resisting!"

"But still lost, why is that?"

Hearing Yu Dayou's words, many people began to wake up, yes, why did they lose?

If it is said that Wuzhou suffered a disastrous defeat in the First World War, it was because the armament was not as good as that of the bandit army, and there were not enough troops.

Then in the Battle of Guangzhou, although the number of Ming troops in the city was quite large, the combat power of Qi was quite good in the Ming army. Among them, there were 8,000 recruited troops as the core, tens of thousands of guards and 5,000 temporary recruits. young and strong.

Speaking of troops, there are more than Tang troops attacking outside the city!

In terms of ordnance, although the artillery they have is not as many as the pirates of the Tang Dynasty, they are also quite a lot. They even have a super invincible general cannon that weighs more than 2,000 kilograms. Although there are fewer muskets, there are hundreds of them. The armor and swords are long. There is no shortage of cold weapons such as spears.

The superintendents in these armies are even more elite divisions, and the trap camp and the musket battalion were established directly by imitating the assault battalion and the musket battalion in the pseudo-Tang thief army.

But why did it still lose so quickly and so miserably?

Wang Yue glanced at Yu Dayou and the generals at this time!

Finally, he turned his attention to Yu Dayou and asked, "In General Yu's opinion, why did our army lose so much?"

At this time, Yu Dayou said in a slashing and ironing tone: "In my humble opinion, there is no other reason, guns and guns are not good, and military law is not harsh!"

After listening to Wang Yue, he sighed. He knew what Yu Dayou had said, but what the hell!

He has already exhausted his strength. He has no guns. He copied them, bought them from foreigners, and had no soldiers. He recruited young men to train and rearmed the superintendent.

Now, he found that he was really powerless!

And such a group of generals under his hands are all useless waste, especially the supervising generals who have been entrusted with important tasks by him. His performance in this battle has made him quite disappointed. More than 5,000 people, well-equipped The superintendent of the battalion is not as good as the Guangzhou battalion with only 3,000 people!

Especially last night when resisting the attack on Nancheng by the pirate army of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, the remnants of the supervising target almost collapsed at the touch of a button. Only the Guangzhou battalion was able to resist the advance and retreat, and even provided cover for the retreat of the whole army. Although in the end, the Guangzhou battalion suffered heavy losses and fled Only half of the troops came out, but this Guangzhou battalion, which had less than 1,500 men, performed better than the other troops under his command.

It's normal for those guards to perform poorly, and he doesn't want to treat those guards too harshly, but he is very, very disappointed when the superintendent is marked like this!

In the past few months in charge of Guangzhou City, he has looted a lot of materials and military expenses, most of which can be said to be used on the supervisor, and he hopes that the supervisor can block the bogus Tang thieves at a critical moment. However, the Superintendent did not show the combat effectiveness it should have from beginning to end.

The trap camp almost collapsed at the first moment of the war. The musket camp was better, but it didn't last long before it collapsed.

However, the Guangzhou battalion, which was still equipped with ordinary equipment, fought quite tenaciously!

Now he is thinking, if the first reinforcements were not the superintendent, but the Guangzhou battalion, maybe Guangzhou would not fall.

In the defeat of this battle, the incompetence of supervising the generals is a very crucial factor!

If it wasn't for the scruples of influence, he would now want to pull them all out and behead them.

But now, beheading the general is obviously unable to change the situation. If you want to save the situation, you must change in the subsequent battle against the pseudo-Tang!

So he looked at everyone, and finally waved his hand and said, "General Yu stay, everyone else is gone, it's still a long way to go to Huizhou, so keep an eye on it!"

After everyone dispersed, Wang Yue and Yu Dayou continued to talk, and this time the content was not limited to the Guangzhou campaign, but expanded to how the troops should be trained and what tactics to use.

Half an hour later, when Wang Yue and Yu Dayou appeared in front of everyone, he directly announced that the Guangzhou camp and the remnants of the superintendent were merged together to rebuild the Guangdong and Guangxi superintendents.

And Yu Dayou became the new commander of this new supervising target. Several generals in the Guangzhou battalion also became important generals of the supervising target, especially the crucial musket battalion and trapping camp are Yu Dayou's confidant generals. As for the original supervising general Biao general, Wang Yue randomly arranged a position and sent him away.

At this time, Li Xuan naturally did not know that Wang Yue, who was once again defeated in Guangzhou, not only did not play tricks such as diving and suicide like other Ming army commanders, but was unwilling to reorganize and train the army, and also Started to reuse Yu Dayou.

There are many defeats and battles, and the demeanor of repeated defeats!

Now Li Xuan is on the northern city wall of Guangzhou, watching the city of Guangzhou after the war!

Today, the most important city in southern China has finally fallen into his own hands. Relying on this city, the Tang Dynasty will gain a window for large-scale foreign exchanges.

At the same time, conquering Guangzhou also pulled out the last hard nail of the Ming army in Guangdong. Later, he was able to dispatch troops to attack Shaozhou, Huizhou and Chaozhou, and completely take down Guangdong.

In this way, Guangdong and Guangxi were completely under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and with more than half of Guizhou, the barely strong Tang Dynasty could be said to occupy the land of the three provinces.

On the same day, the Great Tang Wang Shi continued to carry out a clearing and suppression operation against the defeated soldiers in the city. As for the Ming army who had escaped from the Pearl River, naturally there was no way to chase it!

The navy of the Tang Dynasty was not very good and could not strongly support the army's pursuit operations, so Li Xuan could only watch the Ming army board and withdraw from Guangzhou Nancheng~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The last day of the Guangzhou campaign , After basically clearing out the defeated Ming army in the city, Li Xuan also received the battle report of this battle from Colonel Lei Wan!

If the Battle of Guangzhou started from the arrival of the troops of the King of the Tang Dynasty under the city of Guangzhou, it has been three months now.

If it is counted from the beginning of the total attack, it will be almost ten days now.

The battle that has lasted for so long has also caused a lot of losses to the King of the Tang Dynasty. If nothing else, Guangzhou City has contained many of the main forces of the King of the Tang Dynasty for several months. This is a huge loss for the King of the Tang Dynasty. If It wasn't because of Guangzhou City that other units of the First Army had already conquered Shaozhou, Huizhou and other places, so why haven't even Shaozhou, Huizhou and Chaozhou been taken down yet.

In terms of personnel, the battle also killed more than 800 people and injured more than 1,000 people. The casualties of more than 2,000 people are not a small number. As for the ammunition consumed, a lot of ammunition was consumed. The artillery battle lasted for ten days before and after. The shells are more than 30,000 rounds!

Each cannon fired an average of more than 300 shells, and a few of them were even blown up!
