Chapter 1183 The First World War That Will Be Recorded In History
Just like a siege, the pass on the cliff top is the city wall. Once it is attacked, it becomes a breakthrough.
After more than 2,000 casualties of more than 2,000 suicide squads of the four foreign troops successfully occupied a distance and position of 300 steps above the clifftop pass. The fortifications of the Tartars at the clifftop were occupied by the Ming army and instead became the fortifications of the Ming army. Using these fortifications, Xu Tai led the remaining 3,000 suicide squads to withstand the counterattack of the Tartars.
When a thousand Ming army bombardmentists rushed to the top of the cliff, the battle immediately turned into another form. Grenades bloomed everywhere with blue smoke, and explosions came one after another, and blood and flesh flew across the cliff. The power of the grenades at close range can be imagined, not to mention that hundreds of grenades were thrown out in one round, and the damage caused by the explosion caused heavy casualties and injuries to the Tartar soldiers.
The defense line of the Ming army's suicide squad was further stabilized, with swords and shields raising shields for bomb throwers, and protection from cliff-top fortifications. Although the Tartars had archers to cover the charge, they were useless.
At the same time, on the Yellow River floating bridge, the subsequent troops crossed the river like a torrent to reinforce. Wu Hao and others were already standing in the rear. As long as Xu Tai's troops could be pushed up, he immediately ordered the entire army to attack and speed up the crossing of the river.

The floating bridge was already open, coupled with the continuous bombardment and cover of Ming army artillery, and the most threatening Tartar soldiers on the cliff top directly in front were restrained by suicide squads, so although the Tartars still kept shooting down on the cliff top, the density was already small compared to the previous one.
Although people kept getting arrows and falling down, it was no longer enough to stop the Ming army's troops from crossing the river. Just like a leaking dam, it could not be blocked no matter how hard it was.
A few miles away, Batumonk learned about the battle situation. His camp was far away from the river bank. Because the opponent's firearms were too far away, he could not risk staying on the river bank. However, when the Ming army launched a crossing battle, Batumonk prepared for possible unexpected situations. Although he did not believe that the Ming army could successfully cross the river under such strict defense, he was still prepared to counterattack.
When the Ming army had already rushed to the grassland on the north bank, Batumonk cursed, but immediately ordered the two 10,000 teams of Chahar headquarters that had already been on the horse and rectified the formation to prepare for the charge.
These two 10,000 cavalry teams were two elite Tatar cavalry led by Batur and Yisima. After receiving the order, the two immediately ordered the cavalry to charge, one on the left and one on the right, like two sharp scimitars swept towards the Ming army on the top of the cliff. They wanted to drive the thousands of Ming army to the top of the cliff down the bank of the Yellow River and to the water to feed the turtle.
The other Tartar soldiers on the clifftop plain stopped shooting arrows and all attacks, and consciously made way for the two 10,000-person teams of cavalry that rushed forward, leaving room for attack. They knew that the Ming army would be completely crushed by the cavalry, and there was no doubt that this was the case.
However, what the Tartar cavalry did not notice was that the third group of Ming army's bird gun battalions and machine gun teams were already in place. They followed the bombardiers to the cliff. While the bombardiers were stabilizing their positions, the six hundred bird gunmen and five Madam Xu machine guns had already chosen favorable fortifications to start deployment.
The Northern Expedition Army originally had only three Madam Xu's machine guns, but after the army set out, the arsenal completed two and a half-finished products. According to Zhang Yanling's instructions, the machine guns were delivered to the army as soon as they were built. Therefore, the machine guns and ammunition supplies were sent to Datong Prefecture. This time, they were replenished to the army.
The Tartar cavalry rushes in, with a rainbow of momentum, rolling up dust and grass chips. Once the Tartar cavalry rides on the horse, they forget everything. They forget the cruel blows they suffered more than a month ago, and the violent bombardment they suffered more than 20 days ago in Dalat City across the river.
The barbarians have no memory. Once the nation on the horse's back is on the horse's back, they will not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. When the scar is healed, they forget to hurt. They always think that if they get on the horse, they will be invincible. They are always immersed in their dreams.

So, they quickly woke up from their dreams.
After the cavalry entered a distance of two hundred steps, the bird guns roared, and the five Madam Xu machine guns that were blazing with flames began to roar. The bullets poured out like rain, and the six hundred bird guns alone were enough for them to bear, let alone the five Madam Xu machine guns.
Although the terrain on the top of the cliff was wide, the formation of the Ming army was very compact, with only 300 steps to the enemy. The Taurus cavalry also had to avoid some rocks, some geocompositions built before, some uneven terrain, and some formations of the Taurus soldiers who had attacked before.
Therefore, their formation had to be compressed into two charge channels not far apart, with a width of only sixty or seventy steps. This narrow formation created excellent conditions for the performance of firearms. What Ming munitions are most afraid of is to gather together, and what they fear most is to disperse attacks from all directions, which would disperse the firepower and look around.
But today is a big day. It is also the day when the bird gun and Mrs. Xu’s machine gun were developed by the Ming Dynasty. It is enough to be recorded in history and shock the world. It is also a day when hot weapons crush cold weapons in the era of guns and cannons, and the strongest cavalry in front of guns and cannons are bullshit.
Countless Tartar cavalry rushed over, and the muskets and Mrs. Xu's machine guns roared and roared, pouring countless bullets on those unprotected flesh and blood bodies. Rows of bird guns could kill two or three hundred people in one round of shooting, because the formation was too dense, and there was no need to aim at it, and it would not be off the target. If most of the bullets were not fired on war horses, the number of people killed by bird guns would have been greater.
However, this is enough. The continuous shooting of bird guns is already very fast. One firing can be completed in just a few breaths, which is already extremely lethal. Continuous shooting, guns and bullets are like rain, and the lethality is even more fierce than bows and arrows. The Tartars were caught countless times.
But the most terrifying thing is Mrs. Xu's heavy machine gun. The machine gun operator rotates the muzzle. With the dull boom, the rotating barrel sprays red flames. The bullets whizz out. A bullet can be fired out in just over a dozen breaths. It is hundreds of bullets, comparable to dozens of bird gunmen shooting together with bird guns.
The shooter controls the handle at the rear and can adjust the angle at will. He aims at the front through the aiming and shooting. In addition to spending some effort, it is easy and simple. Five Madam Xu machine guns are shooting together, and the rushing Taurus cavalry is difficult to advance. All the people exposed to the range cannot escape the bad luck.
If the last time the Tartars rushed forward, the shocking thing was the iron-toothed horse-repelling and wire mesh formation, as well as the roar of grenades. That time the machine gun and bird gun completely became supporting roles, and Mrs. Xu's machine gun only showed up and withdrew its troops. Then this time, the bird gun and machine gun proved that they were the protagonists of this battle.

Under the blood-red sunset in the evening, amid the roar, countless blood-colored flowers bloom and burst on the Tatars' bodies and mounts. They are like flowers of death, or like flowers of soul watered with their last life. They bloom beautifully and terrifyingly.
The Tartar cavalry refused to retreat. They charged forward as if to prove something, as if to prove their invincible courage. Even though the troops and horses in front fell down in large numbers, the unowned war horses ran around, and the bodies of the people and horses in front of them were piled up like mountains, they refused to retreat.
Although these people on the northern horsebacks with Mongol-Yuan bloodline are barbaric and cruel, they also have their advantages, that is, their strength and courage. Just like the wolves on the grassland, they refuse to give up their dignity and refuse to admit their failures. They charge and shout, always thinking that like their ancestors, like the battles they have experienced in the past, they will definitely be able to rush to the enemy and wave a scimitar to cut off their opponent's heads.
But today, their stubbornness is a ridiculous act of dying without knowing the current situation.
The barrel of the bird gun is hot, and the two hundred bullets each equipped by the bird gunner are about to be sold out. Five Mrs. Xu's heavy machine guns have been cooled with cold water four times, and one of them has been completely lost due to mechanical failure.
At this time, the Tatar cavalry sounded the long horn like a crying sound. The attacking Tatar cavalry began to stop charging, and quickly fled with the Tartar soldiers on the cliff and evacuated frantically.
At the intersection of grasslands and cliffs above the cliffs, the grass passage between the rocks is covered with corpses. There is blood red everywhere.
The corpse is blood-red, the grass underground is blood-red, and the stones are blood-red.
The sunset is also blood-red.
Although this battle did not last long, it was only from early morning to sunset. The number of casualties was not the largest, and the number of casualties on both sides was no more than 20,000. The scale was not the largest, and the direct combat force between the two sides was only more than 30,000.

However, this battle created a miracle where only a few hundred bird guns and five heavy machine guns of Mrs. Xu were shot together, plus some bows and arrows and grenades, which failed to rush to within fifty steps of the formation.
This battle has also been recorded in history.
...
Three days later, the Northern Expedition Army of the Ming Dynasty, Huo Shijian, assisted the Ordos tribes of Gunbili to conquer Heishui City.
Five days later, Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun led their troops to attack the Dalu City at the foot of Daqing Mountain, where Batumonk was located in the south of the desert. At the same time, they swept across the Yinshan Mountain and the three tribal villages south of Daqing Mountain. They controlled the grassland area north of Hetao.
Batumonk, who suffered a great defeat, gathered his troops and retreated to Hulanhushuwen. It was Batumonk's nest. Later generations called it Ulaanbaatar City.
