On the afternoon of the fifth day, Wu Zhiyang drove hundreds of cattle, horses and sheep back to the Bohai Station, and was warmly welcomed by his comrades in the 83rd Division.

On the afternoon of the sixth day, two companies of the Lancer Division escorted more than 40 Tatars and drove a thousand cattle, horses and sheep back to the Bohai Station. They were also warmly welcomed by comrades from the 83rd Division.

Before dark, a lancer team sent by Tian Zhe returned to the Bohai Station with the battle report of the Lancer Division.

Kill one thousand two hundred enemies, captured three thousand prisoners, seized more than fifty thousand cattle, horses and sheep, and won a great victory!

Wang Shengrong stayed in the Bohai Station after the Lancer Division left the Bohai Station and entered the prairie. He saw the battle report as soon as possible. Looking at the content of the battle report, Wang Shengrong couldn't calm down.

Killing 1,200 enemies and capturing 3,000 prisoners is just a small-scale battle for the People's Army, which has been fighting with the Ming court. There are tens of thousands of people participating in the medium-scale battle and hundreds of thousands of people participating in the large-scale battle.

Wang Shengrong attached importance to the more than 50,000 cattle, horses and sheep seized, including more than 40,000 sheep, more than 7,000 horses, and more than 4,000 cattle. What the People's Army lacked was cattle and horses. The Lancer Division entered the prairie and went into the first large-scale battle to seize so many cattle and horses. After several more battles, seizing more cattle and horses can effectively alleviate the People's Army's shortage of cattle and horses.

The more horses the better, the People's Army will be able to form more lancer divisions, form ten or even more lancer divisions, and eliminate the Tatars and Oirats. Their cattle and horses belong to the People's Army, and the People's Army will no longer lack cattle and horses.

The livestock matter is temporarily put aside. The three thousand captive Tatars need to think carefully. The decision has been made within the People's Army that adult men and men who are close to adults have all been demoted to coolies, building roads and water conservancy facilities for the People's Army. Adult women go to be concubines of Chinese men, and women who are close to adults are the same as adults.

Other elderly people, children, and sick people were given some food and a small amount of tools to the isolated island.

The only problem lies in adult women and women close to adults. It is impossible to give it for free, and it is not a problem with no worries but unevenness. The People's Army gives it to this company for free, so other people who have not obtained Tatar women may have different ideas.

If you cannot give it for free, you need to spend money to buy it. Population transactions cannot happen to the People's Army. One or several chambers of commerce need to come out. The People's Army handed over all the captured Tatar women to these chambers of commerce. The chambers of commerce will first teach these Tatar women's language, farmers' skills, etc., and then sell them to those in need, which can be used as an adult labor force.

The People's Military Government sets a very high tax rate for the chamber of commerce that conducts the industry.

The main point is that the People's Army is not wrong.

It was also the evening of the sixth day after the Lancer Division entered the prairie, the Tatar cavalry led by Buyanchechen Khan was getting closer and closer to the Lancer Division, and the war was expected to break out tomorrow morning.

When he set out, Buyanchechen Khan had a total of eight thousand cavalry. Now the eight thousand Tatar cavalry has increased to ten thousand cavalry, more than twice the number of the Lancer Division.

The Lancer Division has noticed that such a large number of Tatar cavalry approached and its alert status was raised to the highest level. Tonight is the most dangerous time. As long as the Tatars do not attack at night, Tianzhe will be confident enough to defeat the Tatars during the day tomorrow.

Silence all night, the Tatars did not attack the Lancer Division in the dark.

The new day is coming, after a simple breakfast, the Lancer Division continues to escort prisoners to drive cattle, horses and sheep to advance south, and is always ready for battle. If the battle is not used, it will come. It is a big battle.

Buyanchechen Khan divided the 11,000 Tatar cavalry into three left, middle and right routes. Buyanchechen Khan personally led the 5,000 cavalry of the central army and launched an attack on the Lancer Division from the front, and three thousand cavalry on the left and right routes, surrounding the Lancer Division from both sides.

When the two sides were five thousand meters apart, the Lancer Division had already assembled in battalions. There were three thousand prisoners in the middle area, Wu Wanzhi was the cattle, horses and sheep outside, and the outermost were the Lancers.

"Report to the division commander, the enemy's troops were divided into three groups, with more than 5,000 cavalry in the middle, and more than 3,000 cavalry in the left and right directions."

According to the report of the scouts, Tian Zhe basically determined that the enemy had attacked the Lancer Division in front of the middle, and the left and right routes would encircle the Lancer Division. Then the Lancer Division changed its formation. The first regiment, the second regiment and the division headquarters had a total of 2,300 cavalry in the north, the fourth regiment plus half of the manpower in the third regiment, the total of 1,300 cavalry in the west, and the fifth regiment plus half of the manpower in the third regiment, the total of 1,300 cavalry in the east.

Three thousand meters

Two thousand meters

The tactics of the Tatars' front attack on the left and right sides of the middle lane did not change.

One thousand five hundred meters

One thousand two hundred meters

"dismount!"

The lances got off their horses and stood in front of the war horses, forming three rows of horizontal lines, quickly loading their muskets with ammunition.

After the lances were ready, the nearest Tatars were less than a thousand meters away from the lances.

Eight hundred meters

Seven hundred meters

"Open fire!"

On the front battlefield, more than 750 lead bullets charged nearly 700 meters and shot Tatar cavalry.

The tiger head musket has a caliber of 16 mm. Such a caliber musket makes the lead bullets fired from the musket have unimaginable power. Even if it does not hit the vital position of the war horse, it is enough to make a Tatar cavalry lose the ability to continue charging.

The lead bullet collided head-on with the Tatar cavalry, and even more than 600 Tatar cavalry fell on the battlefield.

Buyanchechen Khan, who was almost at the end of the Tatar cavalry team, had not seen this scene yet. If he saw this scene, he would definitely remember the scene of leading a large army to attack the border and would order the withdrawal immediately.

After about three seconds, the second wave of lead blasts came, and about three seconds passed, the third wave of lead blasts came. In less than ten seconds, three waves of lead blasts directly caused nearly 1,900 Tatar cavalry on the front battlefield to lose their combat effectiveness.

"No!"

Buyanchechen Khan finally saw the scene of his cavalry being shot from afar. He roared angrily, but he could not save so many Tatar warriors from death in battle.

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

Buyanchechen Khan roared and issued an order to retreat, but the Tatar cavalry in the charge state did not easily turn to retreat. Only the Tatar cavalry at the end of the charge team could stop the horses and turn the horses to retreat one after another. Buyanchechen Khan was also one of the first Tatar cavalry to retreat.

The fourth wave of lead bullets ended, and the Tatar cavalry in front completed its first 90-degree turn. The fifth wave of lead bullets ended, and the Tatar cavalry turned from charging south and retreated north.

When the Tatars rushed out of the range of the 700-meter lancet muskets, the lancets gave the sixth, seventh and eighth three waves of lead bullets to the Tatar cavalry.

Eight waves of lead bounced down, and only a few of the five thousand Tatar cavalrymen on the front battlefield, less than 800 cavalry successfully escaped. The Tatar cavalry did not approach the 300-meter range of the lances from beginning to end.
Chapter completed!
