Chapter 391: Final Dissolution
Waves of arrows were thrown onto the walls by the Tatar cavalry, and the grenadiers hiding under their shields stopped throwing grenades, and the Tatar infantry under the walls had already run away.
Buyan Chechen Khan gave up, there is that kind of thing that can explode, no matter how many infantry rush up, there is only one ending of "death", unless the enemy's firearms are not many, but Buyan Chechen Khan is more worried that all the infantry rushing up will not be able to consume the enemy's firearms.
The Tatar cavalry was invincible, but could not storm the walls.
Buyan Chechen Khan hated.
After the anger, Buyan Chechen Khan could only choose to withdraw the army helplessly, this time I am afraid that the army will really be withdrawn, in his mind Buyan Chechen Khan is still thinking about whether the two ways of the feint can be broken, if they succeed in breaking the pass, then everything still has a chance, but judging from the situation of Zhangjiakou Fort, Buyan Chechen Khan feels that the possibility of the two roads can be successfully broken is very small.
Under the cover of the Tatar cavalry, the Tatar infantry retreated first, and after the infantry retreated a distance of several hundred meters, the cavalry also began to retreat one after another, and as the Tatar cavalry stopped firing arrows, the People's Army musketeers and artillery on the city wall began to send the Tatars away.
When the Tatar army retreated beyond the range of the KPA's attack, the loss of personnel showed that more than 10,000 people were lost in battle, nearly 6,000 cavalry, and nearly 5,000 infantry.
Buyan Chechen Khan's Tatar army was only 100,000 people, and he lost one-tenth of his troops at once, plus the troops lost in the Bohai Sea, tens of thousands of Tatar warriors died so easily, and Buyan Chechen Khan was heartbroken, angry, and crazy, but there was nothing he could do.
This is true of the enemies of the Bohai Institute, and the same is true of the enemies of Zhangjiakou Fort, is it true that all the enemies are like this, and the Tatars will never be able to break through the barrier again.
Buyan Chechen Khan sent people to contact the other two Tatar armies, and when they were resting, in the Tatar army of Buyan Chechen Khan, some voices that were not good for Buyan Chechen Khan slowly spread.
"Fifty thousand, fifty thousand warriors died like this, Buyan Chechen is incompetent, Buyan Chechen is a sinner of our Tatars, Buyan Chechen is not worthy of being our Khan!"
There were many people in the Tatar army who were loyal to Buyan Chechen Khan, but many more responded to Buyan Chechen Khan's call because they felt that there was an opportunity, and brought their people together and obeyed the command of Buyan Chechen Khan to attack the border pass.
Under the command of Buyan Chechen Khan, they failed, not once, they had already failed twice, losing 50,000 Tatar warriors, and if Buyan Chechen Khan wanted to continue to attack the city in another place, there might be less than 30,000 people left in the 90,000 army.
Buyan Chechen Khan heard the news spread within the army, and Buyan Chechen Khan knew that it should be those who did not recognize him as a khan in the first place who were agitating, but Buyan Chechen Khan did not refute it, nor did he react otherwise, defeat is defeat, and he lost 50,000 Tatar warriors in vain, and he Buyan Chechen was a sinner of the Tatars.
The Tatars never cared about the enemy in the land of China, they could only rely on the city walls to resist the attack of the Tatars, even if they had a large number of cavalry, they would not dare to enter the steppe, let alone be the opponent of the Tatar cavalry.
But the Tatars have other enemies, the most important one is the Warats, once the Warats know that the Tatar tribes have suffered heavy casualties when attacking the land of China, the Warats will not let go of this opportunity to annex the Tatar tribes.
Before the morning was over, Buyan Chechen Khan got the situation of the other two Tatar armies, both of which were defeated, and under the attack of the enemy, it was impossible to break through the barrier at all, and the enemy in the three levels was the same way of attacking.
When Buyan Chechen Khan learned that the other two Tatar armies had not launched a siege and had retreated early, he could not help but feel sober, if they had also attacked the city, the number of dead and wounded would not be so small.
In the afternoon, the Tatar army of the three routes converged, and the Tatar army, which originally numbered as many as 166,000 people, still had 150,000 people left, with a total battle loss of nearly 16,000 people, plus the battle losses of the attack on the Bohai Institute, the total of 227,000 Tatar warriors in Chahar had actually lost more than 55,000 people, which was a quarter of the total strength gathered, and the casualties were heavy.
That night, Buyan Chechen Khan summoned all the tribal leaders to discuss, and before anyone else could speak, Buyan Chechen Khan first said: "We are defeated, let's withdraw our troops." ”
The fact that Buyan Chechen Khan actually admitted defeat surprised some tribal leaders.
"When the day dawns, everyone should disperse, and the tribes close to Warat are advised to move to other pastures." Buyan Chechen Khan continued.
Originally, there were still tribal leaders who wanted to let Buyan Chechen Khan give up the position of Khan, but thinking about the situation of the next tribes, they had no intention of continuing the infighting, and each tribe lost a lot of clansmen, and their strength was damaged.
Without absolute strength to make others submit, even if he is a khan, it is useless, this time Buyan Chechen Khan led the army to be defeated continuously, Buyan Chechen Khan's prestige among the Tatars declined rapidly, and there will not be many tribes willing to accept the call of Buyan Chechen Khan.
At dawn, the tribal leaders left with their tribesmen, who had gathered together with hope, wanting to break through the barriers under the leadership of Buyan Chechen Khan and obtain food, women, and wealth from the land of China, but they did not expect so many tribesmen to die, and finally they could only return to the tribe in embarrassment.
Last winter consumed a lot of food, and the rest of the year is going to be hard for the tribe.
Watching the tribes go away, Buyan Chechen Khan became powerless, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and he was defeated again and again, Buyan Chechen Khan's heart and ambition were disappearing, and going back and surviving with his clan became the most important thought in Buyan Chechen Khan's mind.
Perhaps in the lifetime of Buyan Chechen Khan, it was difficult to regenerate the idea of leading an army to attack the land of China.
The People's Army has always had scouts monitoring the Tatars, watching the Tatars leave in batches, which made a group of scouts very puzzled, the Tatars are withdrawing? The Tatars did not suffer many casualties, and there are so many people, why don't they continue to attack?
It is better not to attack, although every attack of the Tatars will be repulsed by the KPA, but every time the KPA will have people killed and wounded, and the number of dead and wounded is very small, but the KPA prefers that no one is killed or wounded.
"Damn Tatars, you wait, sooner or later, our People's Army will make you never dare to invade the land of China again, and sooner or later our People's Army will drive you to the ends of the earth."
Wang Shengrong, who was rushing with reinforcements, was very speechless when he heard the news of the Tatar withdrawal, and the 25th Division had been on the way to support, but it had never completed the support task.
Wang Shengrong thought that this time the Tatars invaded the border on a large scale, and the People's Army repelled the Tatars and captured a large number of war horses, all of which were used to form lancers, and the lancers were definitely the most suitable support troops.
