These front-line fortresses with no more than a hundred troops are mainly used to warn the rear and block the enemy.

According to the original design, once the front-line fortress found that the Tatars were attacking and lit the beacon, the rear army would dispatch to cooperate with the fortress defenders to defeat the foreign enemies.

It's just... since the Ming army couldn't fight in the field and could only defend the city, the function of these front-line fortresses was only a warning.

It has been half a month since the Tatars invaded the border, and the fall of the front-line fortress was also expected by Zhang Qin.

As far as the current plan is concerned, it is a blessing to keep the city of Datong from being attacked by the Tatars.

"General, urgent military situation."

At this time, a soldier rushed in and reported to Zhang Qinhui: "Yesterday, [-] Tatar cavalry attacked the right guard of Datong. Now the right guard of Datong and the Yulin guard are trapped. The left guard of Datong and the Yunchuan guard are in urgent need."

"understood!"

Zhang Qin nodded expressionlessly.

The fall of the left and right Acropolis of Datong was also expected by Zhang Qin.Zhang Qin is naturally very clear about the combat power of the guards under his command, and it is impossible to stop the Tatar cavalry.

As for sending troops to aid?forget it!Once the army leaves Datong City, what if it is ambushed by Tatar cavalry?It's better to be cautious.

As long as Datong City can be defended, even if the outer forts and acropolis are all lost, it is still a victory.

I hope that the Tatar cavalry will withdraw their troops and retreat after killing the generals of these fortresses and acropolis, and robbing the military supplies and food!

Zhang Qin let out a long sigh.He also knew that the Tatar cavalry would not retreat after these fortresses and acropolises were leveled.

If Tatar Khan didn't bring his tribes to fight against Ming Dynasty, the tribes under his command would unite to fight him.

So... Fighting Daming can not only increase the prestige, but also solve internal conflicts, and also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the tribes under his command, which is simply perfect.

A few days later, the Tatar cavalry was approaching the city.

In just a few days, all the guard fortresses outside Datong City were lost.One hundred thousand Tatar cavalrymen killed the city of Datong.

At the same time, [-] Tatar cavalry attacked Dongsheng City, and [-] Tatar cavalry attacked Wanquan City.

The Tatar army marched in three directions, and all of a sudden, the Xuanfu was unified, and the situation was precarious.

……

"Boom!"

The Tatar returned the stone bullets fired by the artillery, and hit the wall heavily, half of the towering city tower collapsed.

"Fire the cannon! Fire the cannon! Let me blast those returning cannons!"

A military general on the city wall crawled out from the debris of the collapsed city tower, roaring at the top of his throat.

After roaring for a while, the general turned his head to look at Zhang Qin, "Lord Chief Soldier, where are the reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? The casualties are too great. If you don't come to reinforce the army, how can you defend the city?"

"How can the reinforcements be so fast?"

Zhang Qin shook his head, "It is said that Chaozhong dispatched troops from Nanzhili's Songjiang Mansion to help, and when the reinforcements arrive...the Tatars have finished fighting and returned."

"Special girl!"

The disheveled general scolded angrily, "Masters in the court, do you have any brains?"

Just as he was speaking, a loud trumpet sounded suddenly in the distance.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The shrill sound of the trumpet echoed between heaven and earth.

Below the Great Wall in the distance, on a snow-covered hill, a big sun and moon flag was erected high, and the brightly colored flag was fluttering in the wind.

"Boom boom boom..."

Below the hill, an army in black, lined up in a neat phalanx, appeared behind the Tatar cavalry at a neat pace.

"That's... reinforcements?"

The disgraced general looked at an army of tens of thousands of people appearing on the edge of the Great Wall, and what appeared in his eyes was not surprise, but...surprise and anger.

"Where did this army come from? Who is the general leading the army? Why did he run behind the Tatar cavalry? Why didn't he lead the army into the city? That's not how you seek death!"

The disgraced general couldn't help cursing angrily.

The commander-in-chief Zhang Qin was also speechless for a while.

Since you brought troops to help, why didn't you go to the city?Why did you run behind the enemy?Don't even know the direction?

It's over!It's over!This support army is dead!

A mere [-] infantrymen faced [-] Tatar iron cavalry. There was no need to fight this battle, and they collapsed in one charge.

Are you here to support, or are you here to give the Tatar the head?

What shocked Zhang Qin was that the army dressed in black had actually formed an array at the foot of the hill, and seemed to be planning to face [-] Tatar cavalry head-on!

Apart from being brave, Zhang Qin has nothing to say.

The appearance of this force also surprised the Tatar cavalry outside the city.

Tatar Khan almost laughed out loud as he looked at the black-clothed soldiers lined up on the mountain with their backs against the Great Wall.

Where did the Ming army come from?A mere [-] soldiers dare to leave the city?[-] infantry, facing [-] cavalry, isn't this here to die?

"Terhan, take your men there. Cut off their heads!"

Tatar Khan waved his hand to a tribal leader next to him, "I have prepared kumiss, waiting to celebrate your success!"

"Hahahaha! Good!"

Terhan laughed loudly and walked out of the military tent with a long knife.

The horn sounded, and a cavalry force of 2 men set out from the Tatar camp and marched in the direction of the black-clothed army.

Lu Li stood under the flagpole on the top of the mountain, raised his binoculars, and looked at the Tatar army formation in the distance, with a sneer of disdain on his face.

These Tatar cavalry are all cold-armed troops, and there is almost no threat.

"Command! Start attacking after 500 meters from the enemy."

The reason for advancing to a distance of 500 meters is mainly because most of the soldiers under his command are just recruits who have received three months of training. It is inevitable that they will panic when they go to the battlefield for the first time.

If you put it too close, it will be embarrassing if you drop your gun and run away in fright.

"Boom!"

When the 1000 Tatar cavalry arrived about [-] meters away from the army formation, they began to charge.

The galloping of the horseshoes, the violent roar and strong vibration made people feel a sense of fear involuntarily. It was indeed a huge psychological test for the infantry in formation.

The recruits in the military formation had already become short of breath, sweating, and some even turned pale.

If it weren't for the strict discipline requirements during the military training, which made them accustomed to obeying orders, these recruits would probably collapse in fright before they started fighting.

"Contact the enemy 500 meters!"

The staff officer reported to Lu Li.

"Fire!"

Chapter 397 Mythical Record

With an order, the messenger waved the order flag.

In the next instant, a hundred cannons arranged on the Great Wall behind and on the nearby hills exploded with earth-shattering roars at the same time!

"Boom!"

Puffs of gunpowder smoke billowed up, and the violent roar shook the surrounding ice and snow.

A hundred shells smashed into the formation of the Tatar cavalry with a whistling sound through the air.

When the cavalry unit of 2 people charged in groups, it was really overwhelming, like a wave sweeping across.

So... this is a huge target, even if you hit it with your eyes closed, you don't worry about missing it.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion rushed up, and the tumbling flames and turbulent wind swept all directions like a raging tide.

One hundred explosive bombs exploded in the formation of the Tatar cavalry, leaving huge craters on the ground, shrapnel and soil and gravel flying around, and countless men and horses blasted into the sky.

For a while, the Tatar cavalry's charge array was in chaos.

However... the violent blow has only just begun.

"Fire!"

More than 1 soldiers in formation raised their rifles, and under the command of the officer, they all pulled the triggers!

More than 1 bullets roared through the air, sweeping across the formation of Tatar cavalry.

"Booming" explosions came one after another.

The gunshots of "bang bang bang" were like dense raindrops.

With a rate of fire of fifteen rounds per minute, the infantry phalanx poured 1 rounds of bullets at the Tatar cavalry in one minute.

With a rate of fire of six rounds per minute, one hundred artillery pieces fired six hundred rounds of ammunition in one minute, blowing up the Tatar cavalry, crying ghosts and howling wolves.

In just one minute, 1 Tatar cavalry were directly crushed by this round of critical strikes.

After 10 minutes of firing, there were no enemies in sight.

Except for some Tatar cavalry who ran fast and fled back to the Tatar camp in panic, the others... all turned into corpses.

The ground was covered with scorched craters, and there were countless corpses of soldiers and horses around them.

The cold wind whizzed past, and the surrounding fields were dead silent.

Only some Tatar soldiers who were not completely dead were left, still howling terribly.

In the Tatar camp, all the Tatar cavalry who saw this scene were completely stunned.

Tatar Khan looked at the scorched ground in front of him and the countless dead bodies on the ground, his face was pale, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Longevity God!

Is this still an army on earth?This is the devil in hell, right?

Upstairs in Datong City.

Seeing this scene, the defenders of Datong, as well as generals such as Zhang Qin, the commander-in-chief, all stared wide-eyed and opened their mouths. They didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

My goodness!

This... this... this is my Daming's army?Heavenly soldiers and generals are nothing more than that, right?

Thankfully we are on one side!Fortunately, there is no need to fight such an army, otherwise... I would just wipe my neck and forget it.

"Da Ming is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Under the bright red sun and moon banner, more than 1 black-clothed sergeants lined up, bursting into earth-shattering shouts.

This is the cry of victory!

After this great battle, the recruits who stepped onto the battlefield for the first time were horrified to discover that... We are so powerful?

The morale of the army soared instantly, and their self-confidence soared extremely.

Tatar cavalry is a bird?What about a hundred thousand cavalry? What about 20? So what about 100 million?All are chicken tile dogs!

Lu Li was not so happy.

"Let you take it easy and don't waste ammunition. Is it okay now? Calculate for yourself, how much ammunition was destroyed? Are you not in charge of the family and don't know that firewood is expensive, and ammunition is free?"

Lu Li's heart was bleeding when he saw the ammunition consumption reported by the logistics officer. He grabbed several officers and scolded them angrily.

"Artillery units, in the future, the fire coverage will be at most 1 minute. A unit that can't be destroyed by shelling and bombing in 1 minute does not exist in the world today!"

"Infantry should also pay attention to saving ammunition. Within 1 minute after contacting the enemy, they can shoot rapidly and cooperate with artillery to destroy the enemy formation. After the enemy formation collapses, there is no need for such intensive rapid fire."

Intensive shooting like raindrops, I don't know how much ammunition I wasted.

It's not just a matter of money, the ammunition supply has to be shipped from Songjiang Mansion!The bullets have run out, are you fighting with the Tatar cavalry with bayonets?
