Chapter 178 Waste

When the Tatar cavalry began to attack, Zhang Zongxian immediately sent someone to notify the good ministers, allowing them to seize the opportunity to launch the attack.

Let the staff stay on the high ground and coordinate the attacks of various ministries.

Then he walked to the back of the infantry formation. Then he sent someone to tell all the infantry soldiers that he was behind them. If the Tatars broke through their formation, he would personally step forward to stop the Tatars.

Whether they were disciples of the school or ordinary soldiers of the Legislative Army, they all regarded Zhang Zongxian as a god and a relative closer than their own father. By following Zhang Zongxian, they could eat meat and own land.

Some soldiers have accumulated more than a hundred acres of land in exchange for their military exploits.

When they learned that Zhang Zongxian was behind them, the soldiers of the Legislative Army tightly grasped the guns in their hands, and their eyes became more determined.

It was at this moment that the artillery roared first.

One hundred and eighty five-pound bronze cannons and one hundred and twenty ten-pound bronze cannons fired solid bullets at the thickest part of the Tatar army.

It was already very cold in the Liaohe Hetao in October. The hard ground caused most of the solid bullets to bounce up and down three times. People and horses were shattered wherever the shells passed.

The herdsmen who were following the six elites saw that the people and horses around them suddenly exploded, with blood splattering everywhere. Looking back, they found that the entire army formation was full of people and horses that were broken into pieces.

The survivors around them were all spattered with blood, and they continued to rush forward with the large army in a daze.

After firing the solid rounds, the gunners quickly cleaned the barrel and began loading the cannon with shotshells.

Just as the gunners launched the first round of shelling, one hundred rocket launchers fired one thousand, six hundred rockets with a 30-pound charge at the attacking Tatar cavalry.

The range of these rockets is only 500 meters to 1,000 meters, but they are extremely powerful.

The Tatar cavalry who rushed at the front only saw pillars of smoke rising in front of the Ming army's formation, flying towards them.

Then I heard thunder in my ears, and then I felt waves of air coming from behind. I turned around to see what happened?

However, all that could be seen was the sky full of smoke, and one or two horses without riders rushing out of the smoke.

It was also the first time that the Legislative Army fired so many rockets. The smoke generated by the explosion of the rockets completely obscured the military formation behind the Tatars, making it impossible for the Legislative Army's staff to judge the damage done to the enemy.

However, the sound waves generated by the explosion had caused all the horses of the cavalry brigade to stir, disrupting the originally neat formation. The cavalry of the Legislative Army were trying their best to calm their horses, and the officers loudly ordered the soldiers to resume their formation as soon as possible.

This made the good minister realize that the Tatar cavalry must have suffered heavy losses. Even the horses could not stand being so far away, let alone the Tatars at the center of the explosion.

Immediately ordered the cavalry on both wings to attack, quickly advance along the two wings of the Tatars, and surround all the Tatars.

At this time, they were still attacking the Tatar cavalry. They were less than 500 meters away from the infantry formation of the Legislative Army. The artillerymen had also loaded their shotguns one after another, and they also loaded double the amount of propellant.

The loaded gun positions immediately ignited the propellant powder, and then ran towards the rear of the infantry formation.

The six elites who had not been hit on the assault road were bombarded by countless lead bullets. Each cannon fired a hundred rounds of lead bullets, and there would be a gap in the Tatar assault team.

After all three hundred cannons had completed their bombardment, only a few lucky ones were left who continued to attack the originally densely packed cavalry Tatar army. Behind them were countless broken limbs and broken arms.

Wails and screams resounded throughout the battlefield. Those Tatars who continued to attack had already been deafened by the explosion and could not hear the screams behind them at all.

When they rushed a hundred meters in front of the infantry formation, they only saw puffs of white smoke rising from the Ming army formation. Then they felt something hit them, and they knew nothing after that.

Zhang Zongxian did not expect that the Tatar cavalry would be such a waste, which made him nervous for a long time. After all, it was a hundred thousand cavalry attack. Thinking that they had behaved like this at Bali Bridge in his previous life, Zhang Zongxian was relieved.

As the attack horn sounded, the infantrymen lined up neatly with bayonets in hand and attacked the remaining Tatars.

The good ministers led the cavalry, and while driving the Tatar cavalry on both wings toward the center, they quickly reached the Tatar rear formation.

At this time, the Tatar cavalry who had survived the rounds of firepower were frightened by the brutal battlefield and began to run away along the way they came.

When the good ministers arrived at the rear of the Tatars, it was too late to intercept the defeated Tatars. He asked the messenger to immediately notify the cavalry on the right to intercept the remaining Tatars, while he led the left cavalry to pursue the defeated troops.

The cavalry on the right wing quickly divided and surrounded the remaining Tatars. They rode in circles around the surrounded Tatars and used the fire blunderbuss in their hands to kill the Tatars who were still trying to break out.

At this time, the wind on the grassland blew away the smoke that filled the battlefield. Dense black craters appeared on the originally golden grassland. Looking further into the distance, hundreds of bloodstains seemed to be guiding the legislative army.

The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood mixed together, stimulating everyone's nerves. Zhang Zongxian stood on the high ground and took a deep breath, thinking whether he should recite a poem in this situation!

However, my ability is limited and I can’t write any good poems, so I don’t know whose poems I should copy.

The Tatars, who were surrounded by cavalry, still wanted to go to Europe to resist, but the infantry soon arrived and sent them back to the grassland with volleys of guns.

The remaining frightened Tatars quickly laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang Zongxian discovered that there were women among the captured Tatar cavalry, and lamented that Lin Dan Khan had mobilized all the tribe's strength to stop the Legislative Army, but in the end they all fell into the hands of the Legislative Army.

Although many people were killed by rocket bombs, more than 10,000 Tatars were still captured. I hope that the good ministers can capture more Tatars, otherwise they will have to go to Central Asia to arrest people to build roads in the future.

The good ministers pursued the defeated Tatar army all the way, and constantly separated troops to intercept the scattered Tatar army. When they arrived at the Golden Summit White Temple, there were only five regiments of cavalry around them.

Lin Danhan, who had been lying in ambush in the nearby woods, never saw his son return with six troops. He only saw some frightened cavalry running desperately, as if there were devils chasing them behind them.

It wasn't until he saw the cavalry of the Legislative Army appearing in his field of vision that Lin Danhan understood that his son would not be able to come back.

The Ming army was so powerful that one hundred thousand cavalry was destroyed.

At this time, Lin Danhan began to doubt whether he could defeat the Ming army, and had the urge to run away. After all, he could leave the green hills without fear of running out of firewood.

If the son is gone, it can be reborn, but if the tribe is gone, then it is really gone.
