Chapter 397: The Jungle Eats the Strong

The remaining more than 20 Tatar cavalry hurriedly turned their horses' heads, but only a dozen seconds later, Wu Zhiyang's platoon fired the second round, and another 30 lead bullets attacked, and in the end, only three horsemen were left intact and continued to flee north.

Wu Zhiyang's platoon did not let go of the remaining three enemies, and after more than ten seconds, the third round of shooting came, and ten lancers dealt with one enemy, even if the distance was farther, the three enemies were dead and could not die again.

At the end of the battle, Wu Zhiyang's platoon of 30 cavalry quickly approached the battlefield, and the large troops of the People's Army's Lancer Division in the rear of Wu Zhiyang's platoon also began to advance north.

Wu Zhiyang's platoon stopped when it was more than 100 meters away from the Tatar cavalry, took out its musket again, loaded its ammunition, and "named" the Tatar cavalry who had fallen to the ground one by one.

There are no soldiers who have ascended first, and if you want to clean up the battlefield without damage, you can only rely on muskets to take a roll call from a distance.

Wu Zhiyang's platoon had not finished cleaning the battlefield, the large troops of the lancer division in the rear had arrived, Wu Zhiyang's platoon did not join the large army of the lancer division, Tian Zhe gave Wu Zhiyang's platoon a new task, to drive the first batch of booty captured by the lancer division on the prairie back to the Bohai Institute.

The Lancer Division has 5,000 cavalry, and the loss of 30 cavalry has little impact on the combat effectiveness of the Lancer Division, and Tian Zhe also assigned a person who can herd cattle to Wu Zhiyang's platoon to help Wu Zhiyang's platoon better drive these hundreds of cattle, horses and sheep.

The large force of the Lancer Division was far away from Wu Zhiyang's platoon, and the five regiments were scattered to continue to advance northward, and it was basically determined that the enemy's residence just encountered was in the north, and the distance would not be too far, and the Lancer Division was scattered in regiments or even battalions to find the enemy's residence and even the cattle, horses, and sheep grazing outside.

In a battle between the enemy and Wu Zhiyang, I am afraid that most of the combatants have already been killed, and in the face of the lancer division, it is impossible to even escape with other clansmen.

Just as Tian Zhe thought, after the Lancer Division advanced north for a quarter of an hour, it successively found two herds of cattle, horses and sheep in the enemy's residence and grazing, but several Tatars grazing cattle, horses and sheep ran away on horseback, you must know that these Tatars were either half-grown children or elderly people, and the Tatars on horseback wanted to escape, and the Lancer Division was really difficult to catch up.

It was the 3rd Regiment that discovered the Tatar settlement, the 1st Battalion attacked head-on, and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions outflanked from the left and right flanks.

In the distance, the Tatars in the settlement spotted the traces of the lancers, and immediately there was confusion, and the leader went out with almost all the combatants, but they did not expect more enemies to come, and they could already imagine the fate of the leader and the rest of the people.

"What to do? What are we going to do? ”

Even in the panic, the adults and children in the camp took up arms to defend their homes.

Knowing that they will definitely not be able to resist the enemy, there are also mothers with tears in their eyes who send their children to the war horse and let them escape from the camp, staying in the camp will definitely be caught by the enemy, and it is very likely to die, escape from the camp as soon as possible, there is still a possibility of life.

A few minutes later, the 3rd Regiment of the Lancer Division surrounded the camp, and the commander ordered the Tatars who knew the Tatar language to shout for the Tatars in the camp to surrender.

"You have been surrounded, lay down your arms and surrender, and those who surrender will not be killed."

After shouting several times in a row, the remaining forty or so people in the camp laid down their arms and surrendered, they did not have much combat strength at all, it was enough to be alive.

And as Tatars, they are familiar with the law of "the law of the jungle" on the steppe, and the annexation of small tribes by large tribes often happens, they are used to it, as women, they are just vassals of men, and in most cases they do not need women to fight and kill, the tribe is annexed, and the possibility of women being killed is also very small.

A battalion of lancers entered the camp and brought the remaining forty or so Tatars under control of the camp, and unexpectedly discovered a pregnant woman who could speak Chinese, a Chinese who had been taken captive to the steppe.

She has been living in the steppes for more than ten years, her parents have long been killed by the Tatars, she lives like a walking corpse, there is no change in expression in the face of the People's Army, her heart is dead, she is now living for her own children, it can be said that she is no different from the Tatars now.

For such women, the KPA is basically treated as Tatar women.

An hour later, the various units of the Lancer Division were reunited, and the cattle, horses, and sheep that Aul had grazed were also driven together, plus a batch of cattle and horses and sheep that had been captured before, totaling more than a thousand sheep, nearly two hundred horses, and less than a hundred cattle.

There is a big difference in the number of cattle, horses and sheep, which is a relatively normal thing in the Tatar and Warat tribes, grazing sheep is mainly used as food, grazing horses as mounts, cattle are large, raising cattle requires more pasture, grazing sheep is more cost-effective than grazing cattle, so the number of grazing cattle is much less than the number of sheep.

The Lancer Division destroyed the Tatars and one Aul, and at least a dozen of them ran away, and they would run to the other Tatars to inform them of the arrival of the Lancer Division.

Tian Zhe summoned a meeting of officers at and above the group level, and at the meeting, it was decided to send two companies to escort the captured and captured cattle, horses, and sheep back to the Bohai Institute, and most of the Lancer Division remained in the prairie to continue to look for targets.

While the Lancer Division was resting, the Tatars from the Aule, who had been destroyed by the Lancer Division, had fled to the other Aul to tell them that the Chinese had entered the steppe.

"How many Chinese people are here?"

"Many, many, more than the sheep we have grazed in Aul."

"How many sheep do you Aul graze?"

"One... Thousand? ”

The Tatars were less literate than the people of China, and they could not describe well how many sheep they grazed, nor how many enemies they had, but if the numbers were smaller, they could barely describe them in detail.

After some inquiry, the other Aul roughly guessed that thousands of Chinese had entered the prairie, as if they were here for revenge.

However, the Tatars who learned the news were even more angry, they followed the Buyan Chechen Khan to break through the border pass, but they suffered heavy casualties, and they hated the Chinese people even more, and now the Chinese people dared to take the initiative to enter the steppe, and as many people dared to enter the steppe, as many people would die.

Soon, more Aul, Atta Ayimak and even tribes learned the news that the Chinese people had entered the steppe, for the Chinese people who entered the steppe, the Tatars had only one idea, that is, to "kill", to avenge the clansmen who died in the border pass, the Chinese people on the city wall they couldn't beat, they now dare to enter the steppe, this is a way to die!

The leaders of several small tribes in the nearby area stepped forward and issued orders to their own tribesmen, Atta Ayimak and Aul, to gather the Tatar warriors.

Soon, bands of Tatar cavalry gathered.
