Chapter 385 The Tartars' Plan

Before dark, the Tatar Central Army and the Tatar Pioneer Army met. In the big tent, he quickly told Hai himself that the Tiantian Pioneer Army had launched two charges to Buyanchechen Khan and the tribal leaders of the central army.

With Subahai's telling, many leaders in the big tent frowned. According to Subahai's words, the enemies in the Bohai Sea seemed to be really strong, with more than 10,000 casualties in just two charges, which was a situation they had never encountered before.

After finishing Hai quickly, everyone in the tent discussed whether to continue to attack the Bohai Institute. Some said they would continue to attack, some said they would attack in another place, and some were silent.

In the end, Buyanchechen Khan made the decision to attack Bohai Institute one day tomorrow. If it fails and proves that the enemy in Bohai Institute is really strong, just change the place to break the barrier. It is best to break the Bohai Institute with one blow and avenge the warriors who died during the day.

In his heart, Buyanche Chen Khan believed that the defenders in the Bohai Sea should be one of the few elites of the enemy. Destroying this elite force is also a good thing for the Tatar army to occupy the area north of the Yellow River in China. Anyway, they will have to contact each other sooner or later.

As for the enemy's reinforcements, the land of China is in civil strife. I am afraid that the Bohai Sea will not obtain many reinforcements. A small number of reinforcements is almost negligible for the 150,000 Tatar army.

At midnight, two musket regiments that were driven from the direction of Beiping City finally arrived at the Bohai Station and quietly entered the city. Even though there were Tatars outside the pass staring at the Bohai Station, they didn't know that there was a reinforcement army coming to the Bohai Station. Even if they knew that reinforcements were coming, they wouldn't worry. The number of these reinforcements was too small, less than 3,000.

The two musket regiments arrived overnight to relieve Zhang Xinquan. There were only 50,000 Tatar cavalry during the day, and in the evening, more Tatars arrived. The two Tatars combined could have tens of thousands. Even Zhang Xinquan thought it was not enough. After the enemy reinforcements arrived in the evening, Zhang Xinquan sent a correspondent to the headquarters to ask for more reinforcements.

At this time, Wang Shengrong led a new batch of reinforcements and was already on the road. This batch of reinforcements was the 25th Division of the People's Army, one of the troops stationed in Beiping City. The division commander Peng Zhi, and the other five regiments of the 25th Division, except for the heavy artillery regiment, came. Due to the inconvenience of traveling at night, they would not arrive tomorrow morning.

The People's Army has not stationed many troops in various places north of the Yellow River. The Great Wall has the most troops. After the Great Wall, it is Beiping City. Wang Shengrong did not expect to draw troops from other areas of the Great Wall to support the Bohai Station. He was mainly worried that the Tatars would turn to attack other places when they attacked the Bohai Sea for a long time. The Tatars were all cavalry, and the People's Army was mainly infantry and could not keep up with the speed of the Tatar cavalry.

It was dawn, and the People's Army and the Tatars inside and outside the pass had enough food to replenish their energy and began to prepare for battle.

This time, not all Tatars were riding horses, at least 30,000 Tatars were walking, with weapons mainly sabers, and thousands of Tatars at the forefront were equipped with shields. The main task of these infantry was to rush up the city wall through cloud ladders to break through the gates, and rows of powerful Tatars carried long cloud ladders.

The Tatar ladders belong to the simplest type, which is a long ladder, rather than a tall ladder truck or a siege car like the People's Army. The number of Tatar craftsmen was small, making it very difficult for them to make more complex engineering equipment.

Before the war began, Buyanchechen Khan formulated a simple siege plan.

The farthest attack distance of the People's Army can even reach two thousand meters, but after one thousand meters, the damage caused to the Tatars is relatively small. The shells that can explode at a distance of one thousand meters increased the damage to the Tatars. Until the distance of the city wall is within 700 meters, the People's Army's muskets brought huge damage to the Tatars.

According to the combat experience of the vanguard army's two charges, Buyanche Chen Khan formulated a siege plan. The army advanced one thousand meters away, and then the cavalry and infantry charged towards the Bohai Sea together. When they rushed to a close distance from the city wall, the cavalry shot arrows at the enemies on the city wall in batches to suppress the enemies on the city wall.

The archery speed slows down a little, after all, they carry limited number of arrows and the number of continuous archery times.

When the infantry rushed up and set up a ladder, they could start siege. When the infantry sieges the city, the cavalry could stop shooting arrows to prevent accidental injury of the infantry siege.

After formulating the combat plan, the Tatar army of 150,000 troops slowly moved towards the Bohai Sea under the order of Buyanchechen Khan.

The scouts quickly reported the Tatars' movements to Zhang Xinquan. The Tatars rushed towards the Bohai Sea in the first two times, but this time they moved forward slowly, which made Zhang Xinquan a little confused. However, Zhang Xinquan had not many worries in his heart. The 3,400 musketeers on the city wall were Zhang Xinquan's confidence.

At 1,500 meters, the People's Army's heavy Bolang cannon began to show its power. With the density of the Tatars' queues, each solid shell would cause casualties and injuries to the Tatars. The luck would only break the Tatars' arms or legs. If you have better luck, a solid shell would penetrate directly into a row of three or four Tatars. The Tatars who were penetrated through their bodies naturally could not die.

However, there were too many Tatars, only 150,000. The People's Army fired too few solid shells, and the casualties caused to the Tatars were very few, which had no effect on the Tatars' advance. Even Buyanchechen Khan rode his horse to continue moving forward, without any concerns about being hit by solid shells.

Advance, advance, when the Tatars were only one thousand meters away from the Bohai Sea, medium howitzers began to exert their power, and grenades hit the Tatars array and exploded, increasing the number of casualties brought to the Tatars, but it still did not affect the Tatars' advance.

This was the first time Buyanche Chen Khan saw an explosion shell and became curious. When he captured such artillery that was captured by the Bohai Sea, he must take a good look at the shells.

The People's Army had too few howitzers, and the howitzers fired very slowly, which was not enough to make Buyanchechen Khan lose the courage to move forward. It was not until more than 700 meters away from the city wall that Buyanchechen Khan stopped and issued an order to charge the cavalry.

"Ula!"

Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards the rushing. Behind tens of thousands of cavalry, 30,000 infantry also followed the striking forward. Just as the Tatars entered the range of the People's Army musketeers, more than 1,100 musketeers in the first row immediately sent lead bullets representing death at the Tatars.

In the blink of an eye, more than one thousand,100 lead bombs passed through six or seven hundred meters of space and collided head-on with the Tatar cavalry. The next moment, the Tatar cavalry rushing in the front either fell down the horse or fell from the horse.

Seeing this, Buyanchechen Khan was shocked, glad that he did not rush up with the person himself.
