Chapter 383: Anti-Killing?
The scouts returned, and the Tatars stopped two kilometers away to rest.
Two thousand meters is a long distance for infantry, but it is relatively close for cavalry, and it only takes three or four minutes to cover a distance of two thousand meters.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xinquan made a decision to send people out of the city to clean up the battlefield within seven hundred meters of the city, and the battle mainly broke out within this distance.
If the Tatars launch a new attack because they are out of the city to clean up the battlefield, the KPA will have enough time to run back to the pass before the Tatars catch up, and the musketeers and artillerymen will not go out to clean the battlefield, and once the Tatars attack, they can use muskets and artillery to cover their comrades to retreat to the pass.
Soon, the soldiers of Xiandeng, the soldiers of the ordinary regiment of the 83rd Division, and some border troops walked out of the city one after another to clean up the battlefield.
In the battles that broke out before, only a few people in the border army were on the city wall, but now more border troops have seen the bloody battlefield outside the city wall, and there are KPA soldiers who know how the battle has gone through to explain the battle that has just broken out to other border troops.
"A black crush of Tatar cavalry came from the north, numbering tens of thousands, and ten thousand horses galloped, and the earth shook."
"Shhh
"But the horses of the Tatar cavalry did not have wings, and they could not fly to the city walls, so we attacked with muskets and artillery, killing and wounding thousands of Tatars."
"Shhh
Listening to the explanations of the KPA soldiers, the border soldiers kept marveling, marveling at the number of Tatars who appeared, marveling at the fact that the KPA was able to repel the Tatars with a small number of casualties, and marveling at the KPA being able to kill and wound so many Tatars.
The soldiers of Xiandeng have already started to clear the battlefield of tears first, their goal is the Tatar who fell on the battlefield, holding a shield in front of them in one hand, and the war knife or tomahawk in the other hand has been replaced with a long spear.
None of the Tatars who fell on the battlefield were intact, the seriously wounded were already dead, the less wounded were wailing, and the less wounded Tatars were secretly holding their weapons, ready to strike a blow at the approaching KPA fighters.
These Tatars are very threatening, even if the Tatars are captured, it is difficult to get much information, the possibility of the Tatars betraying their tribal position is very small, and in the process of capturing the Tatars, the KPA fighters are easily injured, and the captured Tatars are also difficult to use as coolies.
Killing them is the best option.
The spear stabbed out, withdrew, blood spurted from the Tatar's body, and the young Tatar, who had been lying in a pool of blood with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, he did not expect that he would die so easily.
At the moment of death, he regretted it very much, regretted participating in this battle, regretted that he died so easily, and his women, cattle and sheep would become someone else's.
Die with a grievance or everlasting regret!
Seeing that the KPA soldiers treated the Tatars in this way, some Tatars who pretended to be dead drew their bows and shot arrows at the KPA soldiers before the KPA approached.
The KPA sent scouts to monitor the Tatars, and the Tatar vanguard army also sent spies to monitor the Bohai Institute.
A Tatar spy came back and told him as soon as possible, saying that the enemy of the Bohai Institute was cleaning up the battlefield, and thousands of people had come out.
The leader of a small tribe immediately said: "This is a good opportunity, we will rush over and kill all the enemies who are cleaning up the battlefield, and we can even rush directly into the pass." ”
As soon as the words fell, several tribal leaders expressed their support for the current battle.
Quickly agreed after a little hesitation, but they couldn't rush over now, and wait for the enemy to get farther away from the city wall before setting off, otherwise, the enemy was not far from the city wall, and as soon as they attacked, the enemy quickly retreated to the pass, then they would return in vain this time, but it was very likely that many warriors would be killed or wounded.
Time passed, and soon the vanguard soldiers at the front were more than 500 meters away from the city wall, and nearby, there were KPA cavalrymen holding binoculars looking into the distance, and in the distance, there were also KPA cavalrymen holding binoculars and watching.
Feeling that the time was about the same, he quickly gave the order to set off, and more than 50,000 Tatar cavalry divided into several charging queues and rushed south again.
Just as the Tatar cavalry was moving, the KPA scout, who had been observing the Tatar cavalry from a distance, took out two flags and waved them behind him, passing on the news of the enemy's attack.
KPA scouts passed through binoculars and waving flags along the way to the news of the Tatar attack.
"The Tatars are coming, retreat!"
The scouts closest to the first soldiers shouted loudly, and when they heard the sound, the nearby first soldiers immediately threw down their shields and spears and ran in the direction of the city wall, shouting loudly as they ran: "The enemy is coming, run!" ”
Amid the shouts, the KPA soldiers and border troops outside the city knew the news of the Tatar attack, and they all turned and ran towards the city gate area, and all the soldiers who had ascended first did not even want their own weapons, just to run faster.
The other classes didn't need to drop their weapons, as they were closer to the walls and lighter in their equipment than the first soldiers, giving them plenty of time to run back to the pass.
There is no need to worry about the first soldiers who left their weapons in the pass will have no weapons, there were also a large number of Ming troops stationed in the Bohai Institute before, and now there is only one battalion of 3,000 people left, and the other Ming troops have been sent home by the People's Army, but the weapons used by these border troops are all in the Bohai Institute, and each pioneer soldier has at least two sets of spare weapons.
Now there were more than 1,000 shields on the city wall, and most of the soldiers of the two ordinary regiments of the 83rd Division who did not go out to clean the battlefield climbed the city wall, and once the Tatar cavalry once again rushed to shoot arrows, the soldiers of the ordinary regiment would hold shields to defend the musketeers and artillery against the arrows.
Soon, the Tatar cavalry was only 1,500 meters from the city walls, and the heavy Franc machine guns opened fire.
A thousand meters, medium howitzers fired.
Seven hundred meters, muskets fired a salvo, and light tiger head guns fired.
Hundreds of Tatars fell on the battlefield again, and seeing that the last KPA soldiers were about to enter the pass, and the Tatar cavalry closest to the city wall was still nearly two hundred meters away, Su Zhihai and the tribal leaders were full of anger and had nowhere to release.
Rushing, continuing to rush, rushing to a distance of a few dozen meters from the city wall, the Tatar vanguard once again threw more than 100,000 arrows at the city wall one after another.
The shields on the city wall were raised one after another to block the continuous rain of arrows, but the ordinary regimental soldiers did not use the shields as well as the first soldiers, so that this time the number of KPA casualties increased a little compared to the last time.
The main reason is that the number of people who are slightly injured has increased, and the number of people who have been seriously injured and directly killed has decreased, with one experience, the musketeers and artillerymen have slightly increased their experience in dodging arrows under the shield, especially in the gap between the shield and the shield, and the vital parts must not be exposed here, more than 100,000 arrows, there are always arrows that will pass through the gap and hurt the KPA soldiers behind the shield.
