Chapter 382 One-tenth

"There are still charging after so many people who have lost so many losses. Can you still fly up on horseback?"

The corners of Zhang Xinquan's mouth raised slightly. He already understood the Tatars' intention. It was very likely that he would rush to a place closer to the city wall and attack the People's Army on the city wall with a bow and arrow.

The Tatar cavalry were getting closer and closer to the city wall, and Zhang Xinquan asked the First Landing regiment to prepare for the first landing. Once the Tatars rushed to the vicinity to prepare for the archery, the First Landing soldiers immediately stepped forward to raise their shields to block the arrows shot by the Tatar cavalry for the musketeers and artillerymen.

Every 100 meters of Tatar cavalry would lose five or six hundred cavalry. Seeing that Suba Hai had retreated to the middle area of ​​the vanguard army, the leader of the small tribe who had already rushed to the front was killed in battle.

The loss of personnel is increasing, and there are only a few hundred meters away from the city wall. Just retreating, thousands of warriors died in vain, rushing and continuing to rush.

"Ula!"

Shouting "Ula", the Tatar cavalry rushed forward frantically. The Tatars riding on the war horse clamped their legs, holding a bow in one hand, and preparing to pull out the arrow from the arrow bag with the other hand, and declared their arrival to the enemy on the city wall.

Rows of Tatar cavalry were severely injured by lead bullets, and more Tatar cavalry rushed forward with red eyes.

Near! Near!

The Tatar cavalry rushed to the front and pulled the bowstrings hard and shot the arrows hard. Hundreds and thousands of arrows in the state of projectile crossed dozens of meters to plunge down from the sky towards the People's Army on the city wall.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!

This is the sound of arrows hitting the shield. Faced with the endless rain of arrows, the soldiers first climbed the warriors and artillery firmly protected the musketeers behind them with the shields in their hands. Only very few arrows passed through the gap between the shield and the shield, harming the soldiers of the People's Army.

Each of the Tatar cavalry rushed forward shot only one arrow. When they were about to hit the city wall, each Tatar cavalry charge line was divided into two, half to the left and half to the right, and then turned their horses to run north. At this time, the Tatar cavalry turned around and pulled their bows and shot the second arrow hard.

What is arrows like rain? This is arrows like rain. Each of the Tatar Pioneers fired two arrows into the city wall. A total of more than 110,000 arrows were sent to the city wall by the Tatars. On the city wall, there were only the musket regiments and heavy artillery regiments of the 83rd Division of the People's Army. They first boarded the regiments and more than 4,000 people. On average, each People's Army soldier had to face nearly thirty arrows!

However, facing so many arrows, the number of casualties of the People's Army soldiers under the protection of shields was no more than 200. When the last wave of arrows ended, guns and cannons roared on the city walls, and the People's Army began to fight back!

As the figures retreated towards the Tatar cavalry, waves of lead bullets and shells chased after them, hundreds or thousands of Tatar cavalry fell on the retreating road.

War always kills people. The vanguard army of 60,000 cavalry killed hundreds or thousands of people. After scattered everywhere, the Tatar cavalry did not feel much. When the number of casualties exceeded 5,000, fear spread among the Tatar cavalry.

The Tatar cavalry who landed at the back watched the others die and slapped the horse hard, hoping that their war horses would run faster. As long as they ran faster than others, they would be the ones behind them if they died.

"how so?"

Subahai also felt a little frightened in his heart, why the enemy on the city wall is so strong that the vanguard army killed and injured thousands of people with just one charge, which is definitely stronger than the previous Ming army.

It was not the first time that Subahai led Tatar cavalry to attack the border, but it was the first time that Subahai personally led so many Tatars to attack the border, and it was the first time that so many warriors were killed and injured when they launched a charge against the border.

He vaguely quickly made a thought in Hai's mind: Can he really attack the land of China this time?

When the Tatar cavalry was one thousand meters away from the city wall, the People's Army's attack stopped, looked at the Tatar cavalry's distant figure, and looked at the battlefield that had become bloody within a 1 thousand meters away from the city wall.

Under normal circumstances, there should be no choice between who wins and who loses in this battle, but judging by the number of casualties and injuries on both sides, the People's Army undoubtedly won.

The number of casualties in the People's Army was less than 200, while the number of casualties in the Tatars was definitely more than 5,000, which was a big victory.

If it were the original border troops stationed and achieved such a great victory, the Ming court would definitely reward him. This was a rare victory in recent decades, and this was just the number of casualties and injuries caused by the Tatar cavalry charge.

The Tatar cavalry seemed to have gone far away, with nearly a thousand war horses scattered on the battlefield, and there were about hundreds of intact war horses. According to the number of enemies killed by the People's Army, there should be thousands of war horses. However, some of the war horses were severely damaged by lead bombs and shells, and more war horses went away with the Tatar cavalry stormtroopers.

It is a good seizure to be able to harvest hundreds of intact war horses. The People's Army is missing war horses, and there are probably some injured Tatars on the battlefield that have not died. In the eyes of the People's Army soldiers, the Tatars are basically a poor man except for cattle, horses, sheep and animal skins, and there is no easy way to grab them.

Zhang Xinquan was not in a hurry to send people out of the city to clean the battlefield, and it was still impossible to determine whether the Tatars would continue to attack. The city gate slowly opened, and two groups of ten cavalry left the Bohai Station and bypassed the battlefield and followed the Tatars.

The scouts dare not cross the battlefield. There must be living Tatars on the battlefield. No one knows whether these Tatars still have the strength to fight. Don’t underestimate the Tatars’ archery skills. Scouts must be careful of the Tatars’ hidden arrows when crossing the battlefield.

Moreover, not everyone can pass through the battlefield cleaning. The first-row warrior holding a shield must first go up to determine the life and death of the Tatars. However, others then clean up the battlefield areas confirmed by the first-row warrior.

Two thousand meters north of the Bohai Sea Site, the Tatar Pioneer Army's advance slowed down. A group of tribal leaders of the Pioneer Army rushed to Subahai. The Pioneer Army killed and injured so many people just by charging the Bohai Sea Site, almost one-tenth of the total number of the Pioneer Army. Many people died in each tribe that joined the Pioneer Army.

Every young and strong are the most important components of the tribe. If they all die on the battlefield, the tribe will soon disappear on the prairie and be annexed by other tribes. All their own women, cattle, horses and sheep will be human, and no one wants to see this scene.

"Soba Hai, it doesn't mean that we can easily hit it. Why do we have so many warriors dead with just one charge?" a tribal leader asked.

Suddenly silent Hai, he didn't know why this happened. This was the first time he encountered it, and it was also the first time he encountered the enemy in front of him. It seemed that this enemy was stronger than the Ming army.

One leader after another quickly silenced Hai for a while before saying, "Now is our best opportunity. Neither you nor I want to miss this opportunity. This is just an accident. Let's wait. When the team transporting the ladder comes over, we will attack the city directly, and the enemy cannot stop us!"
