Chapter 380: The Battle Against the Enemy
Chahar, 50,000 Tatar cavalry gathered here, 100,000 Tatar cavalry gathered here, and the blood in the chest of Buyan Chechen Khan could not stop boiling.
150,000, 200,000, and finally Chahar gathered as many as 227,000 Tatar cavalry, and Buyan Chechen Khan was already excited and wanted to lead his army into the land of China now.
Although the youngest of the 220,000 string controllers was only fourteen years old, and the older ones were over fifty years old (very rare), many more were young men, and everyone could shoot and slash, and they were all warriors, and Buyan Chechen Khan was confident that he would lead them to victory.
In fact, when he issued a call to the Tatar tribes before the winter, Buyan Chechen Khan was a little unconfident, worried that he would not be able to come even 100,000 people who control the strings, after all, not all tribes completely obeyed the orders of the Khan, and he did not expect to gather as many as 220,000 people who control the strings in the end.
50,000 people who control the strings, Buyan Chechen Khan has the confidence to break through the border pass, enter the land of China to plunder, 100,000 people who control the strings, Buyan Chechen Khan dares to lead the army to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, if there are 22 people who control the strings, Buyan Chechen Khan is ready to take all the places north of the Yellow River in the land of China.
Buyan Chechen sweats and his eyes are full of wealth! Food! Woman!
In fact, when the children and the elderly people appeared in the ranks, it could be seen that the thoughts of the Tatar tribes were not that Buyan Chechen Khan had a very strong appeal, but everyone saw that this was an opportunity, and the land of China fell into civil strife, and they could take the opportunity to enter the land of China and plunder.
It was a war they thought they would win, and the more people who went, the more wealth, food, and women they would snatch back.
They gathered here in Chahar with their people, mainly to reduce some damage when breaking through the border pass, and if one or two tribes attacked the border pass alone, they might return with a heavy defeat, and everyone together would be more sure of victory.
As long as he can lead the tribes to a great victory and get what everyone wants, his prestige among the Tatars will become higher and higher, and the prestige will be high, and the more people who are convinced, the more people will submit to him.
The army has been gathered, and the Khan of Buyan Chechen is about to set off with the army, and every day he stays, the food he carries will be rapidly reduced, and the Chahar will not be able to meet the food needs of the 220,000 men who control the strings, and only by attacking the land of China as soon as possible can he get more food.
Buyan Chechen Khan has always sent people to keep an eye on the border pass, and the changes in the border pass area were seen by him, and a group of soldiers who were dressed differently from the original Ming army climbed the city wall, and the civil strife in the land of China seemed to have extended to the border pass.
This is good news for Buyan Chechen Khan, the border pass is guarded by others, and it will definitely develop a battle with the Ming army that was originally stationed, the combat effectiveness of the border army Buyan Chechen Khan knows it very well, he has led the Tatar cavalry to attack the border pass many times in more than ten years, and all of them have failed, and the enemies of the border army want to defeat the border army, and it is impossible not to pay a heavy price.
This means that when you attack the border pass, you will encounter an enemy who may be severely damaged.
Buyan Chechen Khan summoned the leaders of the major tribes and his own Chinese men, and decided to change the battle plan, directly attack the Bohai City, which is the closest to Beiping City, and attack the Guannei from the Bohai Station, and take Beiping City directly.
Hearing the words of Buyan Chechen Khan, the leaders of the major tribes directly agreed, they all knew that Beiping City was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it was the richest place, as long as Beiping City was captured, it would be worth starting a war this time.
However, the Chinese men of Buyan Chechen Khan had different opinions, believing that there might be an accident, and it was better to turn to attack Shanxi, which was also a land of abundance, and their own side was more sure.
Buyan Chechen Khan did not listen to these words, and the decision to attack the Bohai Institute would not be changed, and the army was ready for the last moment, and the next morning, 220,000 troops, more than 460,000 horses, galloped south, and each Tatar cavalry controlled at least two horses.
When the Mongols launched an expedition, each cavalry had an average of three war horses, one horse to ride, and the other two to carry supplies.
This time the Tatar cavalry attacked the land of China, not too far, two horses per person were enough, and when they returned, they must fill all their war horses with their booty, and it was best to tie a few slaves with ropes and bring them back.
The 220,000 Tatar cavalry came to the south, and quickly led 60,000 men as the vanguard, Buyan Chechen Khan led 100,000 men as the middle army, and 60,000 people led by Fried Flower as the rear army.
Due to the need to carry siege ladders, the speed of the Tatar cavalry's advance was somewhat slow.
Just when the 100,000 People's Army was about to enter the Liaodong region, the Tatar army arrived!
Garrisoned in the Bohai Institute is the 83rd Division of the People's Army, which belongs to the First Group Army, belongs to the Northern Division, is a full-time war officer in the north, and the division commander is Zhang Xinquan.
The 83rd Division is an integrated division, with a musket regiment, a heavy artillery regiment, a pioneer regiment, a grenadier regiment, and two ordinary regiments, plus the division headquarters, the total number of the 83rd Division exceeds 8,000, and the total number of troops is more than 8,000, and the total strength of a battalion originally belonging to the Ming Dynasty border army is 3,000 people, with a total strength of more than 11,000 people.
Three KPA cavalrymen and two border cavalrymen, a total of five people, formed a reconnaissance cavalry group, with KPA soldiers as team leaders and equipped with a telescope.
There are dozens of such reconnaissance cavalry groups in the 83rd Division, and no matter day or night, they will send a number of reconnaissance cavalry groups out of the customs and into the grassland for reconnaissance; on the one hand, it is to draw the terrain, and on the other hand, it is to give early warning; once the enemy attacks, you can know in advance, and the reconnaissance cavalry group will return quickly, so that the headquarters of the 83rd Division stationed in the Bohai Institute will be ready for battle.
At this time, directly north of the Bohai Institute, the reconnaissance cavalry group led by Liu Shuang was the first to discover the northern Tatar cavalry rushing towards them.
In the field of view of the telescope, the Tatar cavalry seemed to be endless.
"No, it's the Tatars coming! Luo San, Xiao Zhao, the two of you go first, hurry back and tell the division commander that the Tatars are coming, and the enemy cavalry may be tens of thousands! ”
In Liu Shuang's angry shout, Luo San and Xiao Zhao were stunned for a moment, repeated to determine the situation, and immediately mobilized the horse's head to run quickly to the south, Liu Shuang continued to take the other two to retreat while observing the attacking Tatars.
Soon, Luo San and Xiao Zhao returned to the Bohai Institute.
"Report !! The Tatars are coming!! ”
Luo San and Xiao Zhao shouted loudly to their comrades above and below the city wall, and at the same time rode their horses and rushed into the pass from the city gate.
"Here come the Tatars?!"
"Ready for battle! Ready for battle! ”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before it was determined whether the Tatar attack was true or not, the drums of war quickly sounded, and the soldiers of the People's Army stationed at the Bohai Station immediately moved into action and prepared for battle!
