The sound of war drums came from afar. The division commander Zhang Xinquan walked out of the house and prepared to go to the city wall to command the battle himself. Before Zhang Xinquan could go far, Luo San and Xiao Zhao were led by the battalion commander of the guard battalion to Zhang Xinquan and reported to Zhang Xinquan the enemy situation found on the prairie to Zhang Xinquan.

Listening to Luo San and Xiao Zhao's words, Zhang Xin became more serious in all aspects, with tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry even more. This is the Tatars' invasion of China on a large scale. The target of the Tatar cavalry is basically the Bohai Station where the 83rd Division is stationed. The next battle is inevitable.

Zhang Xinquan immediately ordered to send a message to send the Tatars to the headquarters of the First Army in Peiping City, requesting the headquarters to send reinforcements.

Reporting to the headquarters and requesting reinforcements is a normal step, but Zhang Xinquan is more confident to resist the attacking Tatar cavalry with the power of a division. Even if there are 100,000 Tatar cavalry attacking, Zhang Xinquan is not afraid.

There are many reasons for this. The Tatars are good at riding, shooting, and chopping, and are not good at siege. The city walls in the Bohai Sea are tall and strong. If only ten thousand Ming troops were stationed here, they would probably not be able to defend them. However, the People's Army is not the Ming army. The People's Army is equipped with a large number of firearms and can attack the enemy at a relatively long distance.

Zhang Xinquan had already arrived on the city wall, holding a telescope in his hand and looked north. The three cavalrymen on his own were about to return, and in the distance were the Tatar cavalry that could not be seen at first sight.

"How many Tatar cavalry are there? 30,000 or 50,000?"

Compared with infantry, the galloping cavalry takes up more space and looks more powerful. It is difficult to determine the number of cavalry in a short period of time. Moreover, at this time, the Tatar cavalry had released another war horse and only controlled one war horse to rush towards the Bohai Sea.

"Warriors, let's give those Southerners some great looks, Ula!"

"Ula!"

He shouted Hai quickly, and the other Tatar cavalry also shouted.

When the Tatar cavalry was less than 1,600 meters away from the city wall, Zhang Xinquan calmly issued a combat order.

"Bang the drum and fire the cannon!"

Like other reorganized divisions of the People's Army, the 83rd Division is mainly equipped with three types of artillery, light artillery tiger head cannon, with a maximum range of 700 meters, medium artillery howitzer, with a maximum range of more than 1,000 meters, and heavy Folang cannon, with a maximum range of 2,000 meters. Only the Folang cannon cannon can fire at a distance of 1,500 meters.

Hearing the sound of war drums representing the firing of artillery, the commanders of the heavy artillery regiment issued firing orders one after another. The ammunition had been loaded, ignited, and fired!

In just a few seconds, dozens of Furang cannons fired solid shells at the Tatar cavalry more than 1,500 meters away. Dozens of solid shells crossed the sky and plunged directly into the dense Tatar cavalry team. Even at least twenty Tatar cavalry, together with their horses, were pierced by solid shells.

The death of more than 20 Tatar cavalry did not have much impact on the vanguard army led by Subahai. The vanguard army had 60,000 Tatar cavalry, many of whom followed the attack on the border, fought with the Ming army, and had contact with artillery, and were not afraid of such weapons that could not cause much damage to their side.

The Folang cannon has a very fast firing rate. Each Folang cannon is equipped with six sub-cannons. When the Tatar cavalry is still one thousand meters away from the city wall, the Folang cannon will have to empty all the sub-cannons, but it only causes less than 200 casualties to the Tatars.

Seeing that the Folang machine cannon did not have much impact on the Tatars, Zhang Xinquan shook his head speechlessly, and then looked at the howitzer.

A group of Tatar cavalry rushed over from the north, with the legs of the border soldiers trembling. This was the first time they saw so many Tatar cavalry, and the soldiers of the People's Army also had solemn expressions. They thought they were stronger, but facing so many enemies, no one could laugh.

At a distance of one thousand meters, howitzers with more than Ferron's cannons began to exert their power, and more than fifty grenades hit the Tatar cavalry team in the charge.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid the series of explosions, hundreds of cavalry were affected, and more than one hundred of them completely lost their combat effectiveness. Either the war horse was seriously injured or the war horse was severely injured.

Hearing the sound of the sound, he was very surprised. This was the first time he saw such an explosive shell. He vaguely felt something bad in his heart and did not continue to rush forward.

The howitzers have better killing effects on the enemy than the Ferron machine gun, but the disadvantage of the howitzers are also very obvious, which is that the speed of fire is slow. Just when the tiger-headed rifle is about to reach the range, the howitzers have shown their power for the second time. With the sound of explosions, hundreds of Tatar cavalry were affected.

The 60,000 Tatar cavalry were still 700 meters away from the city wall, and the combat personnel were reduced by about 350 people. Hundreds of other cavalry were slightly injured and could still participate in the battle.

The team transporting the ladder has not kept up, so Suba Hai continued to lead the Tatar cavalry forward. Suba Hai's idea is very simple. The cavalry cannot rush up to the city wall, but when they rush to a distance from the city wall, they can throw arrows onto the city wall, kill the enemies on the city wall, give the enemy some strength, and also test the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Seven hundred meters, tiger-headed spear, tiger-headed cannon shows its power!

In an instant, more than 350 tiger-headed guns opened fire on the city wall, and more than 350 lead bullets collided with the Tatar cavalry and penetrated into the flesh and blood.

The power of lead bullets is too great. Whether it is a man or a horse, as long as it is hit by a lead bullet, it will soon die when hitting the vital part. If the hand and foot hit, it will be unable to continue participating in the battle due to pain. If the war horse falls to the ground due to injury, it is very likely that the man and horse will be trampled to death by other war horses during the charge.

The People's Army Musketeers on the city wall directly caused the Tatar cavalry to reduce the number of nearly 300 people in combat. This is not over. In just a few seconds, the musketeers divided into three waves to complete the three-round volley, which directly reduced the number of Tatar cavalry to reduce the number of more than 800 people, which was greater than the previous howitzers and Folang cannons to the Tatar cavalry.

The Tatar cavalry who rushed in a relatively high position, who was shot by lead was shot across several positions. Even if the courage of the Saiba Hai was, he was very scared at this moment. He was the leader of the tribe and the commander of the vanguard army. It was not worth dying like this.

While thinking, the speed of the horses of Hai Shi slowed down, allowing more people to rush forward. The combat personnel were reduced to less than 1,200, accounting for one-fifty of the total number of the vanguard army, which was almost negligible and continued to attack.

"Ula!"

He shouted quickly, and the Tatar cavalry followed him and rushed towards the city wall at a faster speed.

But at this moment, another wave of lead blasts came!

The People's Army musketeers have already used fixed charges. The skilled musketeers can fire four times a minute and three-stage shooting. Almost every five or six seconds, the Tatar cavalry will usher in a wave of more than 350 lead-on-blasted guns, and there are also three types of light, medium and heavy artillery that keeps firing. More and more people fall on the way of charging!
Chapter completed!
