Chapter 387: Unwilling to Give Up

Looking at the fire and black smoke from the grenade explosion under the city wall from afar, as well as the Tatar infantry lying in a pool of blood, Buyan Chechen Khan was furious, he finally summoned most of the Tatar tribes to send troops, and so many people died before they broke the barrier, he hated it!

Why is the enemy stationed in Bohai so strong? Why?!

"Khan, please order the withdrawal of troops."

"Khan withdraw his troops."

Among the Tatar infantry in front was the leader of his own tribesmen, and hurriedly said to Buyan Chechen Khan.

The battle has reached this point, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will not be able to take the Bohai Sea, and Buyan Chechen Khan does not plan to continue the siege of the city, and directly orders the army to retreat.

The Tatar infantry retreated first, and the Tatar cavalry once again took turns firing arrows to cover the retreat of the infantry.

Seeing that the Tatars were about to withdraw their troops, Zhang Xinquan immediately ordered the musketeers to get ready, and the Tatars could not be allowed to retreat so easily.

As for the grenadiers, they had already stopped attacking when the Tatar cavalry fired their arrows, and carefully hid under the shields of the first warriors, in fact, by this time, the grenadiers could not kill or injure many more enemies no matter how many grenades were thrown, and the Tatars had already run beyond the distance of the grenades.

Under the cover of the Tatar cavalry, the Tatar infantry had run hundreds of meters away, and the Tatar cavalry also began to turn back against the front line and began to retreat, when the Tatar arrow rain stopped, the KPA musketeers immediately rushed to the battlements of the city wall, raised their muskets and opened fire on the retreating Tatars.

Not only the musketeers, but also the artillerymen returned to the city walls, reloading the artillery with ammunition and preparing to attack the enemy with artillery.

Under the greeting of the People's Army's muskets and artillery, the Tatars gradually drifted away, leaving corpses on the road where the Tatars had left.

The Tatars went away, Zhang Xinquan did not immediately send scouts out of the pass to investigate, there were Tatars everywhere outside the city wall, most of the Tatars died or were seriously injured and dying, but there were also Tatars who were not seriously injured and could continue to fight, and the scouts would usher in hidden arrows if they were not careful, so it was better to clean up a part of the area outside the city wall first.

In the field of vision of the telescope, the Tatars completely disappeared, and Zhang Xinquan sent the first soldiers, ordinary regiment soldiers and border soldiers out of the city.

It was terrible, corpses were strewn everywhere, especially in the area closest to the city walls, and the fragments from the explosion of thousands of grenades had torn apart the Tatars' bodies, and blood was spilled everywhere.

The Tatars at a distance were shot by the KPA with muskets, but the Tatars who fell to the ground were trampled by the horses, and the corpses were not in shape.

Zhang Xinquan roughly estimated that the Tatars lost at least 25,000 men in this battle, plus 10,000 yesterday, and the Tatars lost 35,000 men in the three battles.

If it was for the previous Ming court, the loss of 35,000 people was not a matter, and it could continue to recruit more 35,000 people, but for the Tatars, 35,000 people was already a very large number, so big that the Tatars could not bear it.

The number of KPA casualties was relatively small, less than yesterday, and in addition to the tens of thousands of Tatars who had fallen on the battlefield, there were also thousands of war horses roaming, which were very well captured, and with these war horses, the KPA would soon be able to form a new lancer division.

Away from the Bohai Institute, the Tatar army stopped to recuperate, and the tribal leaders came to Buyan Chechen Khan to discuss whether to continue the attack on the Bohai Temple, attack in another place, or withdraw the army.

"Attack in another place, the enemy of the Bohai Institute is too strong, and attacking the Bohai Institute again will only lose more warriors." Quickly put Hai was the first to say.

"Withdraw the army, our tribe can't fight anymore, half of the people I brought are dead, and I want to beat you."

"I can't withdraw the army, I don't believe that all enemies are as strong as the enemies in the Bohai Sea, I am not willing to die so many clansmen, I will attack in another place, I want to avenge my clansmen!"

While the chiefs were arguing fiercely, the casualties of the Tatar army were counted, 150,000 people attacked Bohaisu, only more than 121,000 returned, and more than 28,000 fell on the battlefield, the most casualties were during the charge and retreat, but the number of casualties was relatively small when the infantry was preparing to attack the city.

The main reason was that the KPA grenadiers on the city wall had a limited distance to throw grenades, and the Tatar infantry were scattered dozens of meters or even more outside the city wall, and could not inflict heavy losses on the 30,000 Tatar infantry.

Knowing that the army had lost so many warriors, most of the tribal leaders shouted angrily for revenge, and some of the tribal leaders who had suffered more casualties were silent.

And Buyan Chechen Khan, who had been silent, finally spoke, and he chose to change places to continue the attack and avenge the dead warriors!

The choice of Buyan Chechen Khan was supported by most of the tribal leaders, but the tribal leaders, who had more dead and wounded, stood up.

"Khan, our XX tribe withdraws, and if we continue to fight, our tribe will be finished."

"Khan, our YY tribe has also withdrawn."

One tribe leader after another stood up and said that they would withdraw, and Buyan Chechen Khan agreed, and did not stop them, these tribes died too many tribesmen, and if they continued to fight, all the clansmen died, and their tribes would not survive, and Buyan Chechen Khan could not stop them strongly.

While agreeing to the withdrawal of these tribes, Buyan Chechen Khan also said that when the army invaded the land of China, he would distribute a part of the spoils to the tribes with many dead and wounded tribesmen.

The words of Buyan Chechen Khan made the tribal leaders who were about to withdraw have a little more affection for Buyan Chechen Khan, and decided that the next time Buyan Chechen Khan led the army to attack the land of China, they would also participate, and this time forget it, the casualties they brought were almost more than half of the people, and they could not lose any more.

One leader after another left the army with his own people, and when all the tribes that had to withdraw had left, there were still 106,000 men left in the Tatar army, and the number of people who left was not much, only 22,000.

Do not forget that the present Tatar army is only the vanguard army plus the middle army, and the rear army, which is full of 60,000 men, is about to come to join the vanguard army and the Chinese army, and the Tatar army will have 166,000 men by then.

Buyan Chechen Khan was confident that as long as he no longer encountered enemies like those stationed in the Bohai Sea, he would be able to break through the barrier and attack the land of China.

However, thinking of the enemy in the Bohai Sea, Buyan Chechen Khan did not plan to think about occupying the area north of the Yellow River in the land of China, but only planned to plunder the land of China after breaking the pass, and return to the prairie with women, food, and wealth.

Just when the Tatar army was resting, the People's Army of the Bohai Institute had not finished cleaning the battlefield, and Wang Shengrong personally rushed to the Bohai Institute with a division of reinforcements.

"Commander, thanks to the support of two musket regiments, otherwise Bohai will not be able to hold it." Zhang Xinquan reported to Wang Shengrong.
