Chapter 1183 The First World War That Will Be Recorded In History
Just like a city siege, the cliff top pass is the city wall. Once it is attacked, it will become a breakthrough.
After paying more than 2,000 casualties, the 5,000 death squads of the Fourth Foreign Army successfully occupied the distance and position 300 steps above the cliff top pass. The Tatar fortifications on the top of the cliff were occupied by the Ming army, and instead became the Ming army's
Fortifications. Using these fortifications, Xu Tai led the remaining three thousand death squads to withstand the Tatar counterattack.
When a thousand Ming army bombardiers rushed to the top of the cliff, the battle immediately changed into something else. Smoking grenades were everywhere, explosions were heard one after another, and flesh and blood flew across the top of the cliff, and mud and rocks were splashed. Close-range grenades
The power of the grenade can be imagined, not to mention that hundreds of grenades are thrown in one round, and the damage caused by the explosion caused heavy casualties to the Tatar soldiers and horses.
The defense line of the Ming army's death squads was further consolidated. There were sword and shield soldiers holding shields to cover the bombardiers, and they were protected by cliff-top fortifications. Although the Tatars had archers to cover their charge, it was of no avail.
At the same time, on the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River, the following troops and horses were crossing the river like a torrent to reinforce. Wu Hao and others had already formed an army on standby in the rear. As long as Xu Tai's troops and horses could push forward, he would immediately order all troops to attack.
The army attacked and crossed the river quickly.

The pontoon bridge was unobstructed, coupled with the continuous bombardment and cover from the Ming army's artillery, and the most threatening Tatar soldiers and horses on the top of the cliff directly in front were restrained by the death squads, so although the Tatars on the top of the cliff still continued to shoot arrows and stones
It was shot down, but compared to the previous density, it was already pale into insignificance.
Although people continued to fall down after being hit by arrows, it was no longer enough to stop the Ming army's troops from crossing the river. It was like a leaky dam that could not be blocked no matter how hard it was blocked.
A few miles away, Batu Munch learned of the battle. His camp was set far away from the river bank. Because the opponent's firearms range was too far, he could not risk staying on the river bank. But when the Ming army launched a cross-river operation, Batu
Monk was prepared for possible unexpected situations. Although he did not believe that the Ming army could successfully cross the river under such a tight defense, he was still prepared for a counterattack.
When he learned that the river bank had been breached and the Ming army had rushed onto the grassland on the north bank, Batu Meng cursed loudly, but then ordered the two Chahar troops of ten thousand people who had already mounted their horses and adjusted their formation to prepare for the charge.
These two cavalry teams of ten thousand people were two elite Tatar cavalry led by Batur and Yisma. After receiving the order, the two men immediately ordered the cavalry to charge. The two cavalry teams were on the left and the right, like two
They swept their sharp scimitars towards the Ming army on the top of the cliff. They wanted to drive the thousands of people who had rushed to the top of the cliff off the banks of the Yellow River and into the water to feed the bastards.
The other Tatar soldiers and horses on the plain on the top of the cliff stopped firing arrows and all offensive behaviors, and consciously made way for the two oncoming cavalry teams of ten thousand people, leaving room for the attack. They knew that the Ming army
It will be completely crushed by the cavalry, there is no doubt about it.
However, what the Tatar cavalry did not notice was that the third wave of the Ming Army's cannon battalion and machine gun team that rushed up were already in place. They followed the bombardier up the cliff. While the bombardier stabilized his position,
Six hundred gunners and five Lady Xu machine guns have selected favorable fortifications and begun to deploy them.
The Northern Expeditionary Army originally had only three Mrs. Xu machine guns, but after the army went out, the arsenal completed two semi-finished products. According to Zhang Yanling's instructions, the machine guns had to be delivered to the army as soon as they were built. Therefore, all machine guns and ammunition supplies were needed
They were sent to Datong Prefecture. This time they were also added to the army.
The Tatar cavalry came in waves, with momentum like a rainbow, kicking up dust and grass clippings. Once the Tatar cavalry mounted their horses, they forgot everything. They forgot the cruel attack they suffered more than a month ago, and they forgot more than twenty days.
The city of Dalat on the other side of the river was heavily bombed.
Barbarians have no memory. Once the people on horseback get on the horse, they don't know the heights of the world. They heal their scars and forget about the pain. They always think that they are invincible when they get on the horse. They are always immersed in their own dreams.

Therefore, they soon woke up.
After the cavalry entered a distance of two hundred steps, the cannons roared, and the five flaming Mrs. Xu machine guns began to roar. Bullets poured out like rain. Six hundred cannons alone were enough for them, not to mention the addition of
Five Madame Xu machine guns.
Although the terrain on the top of the cliff is open, the Ming army's formation is very compact, with only 300 steps to the enemy. The Tatar cavalry also have to avoid some rocks, some previously built earthen fortifications, some uneven terrain, and
The formations of some Tatar troops who attacked before.
Therefore, their formation had to be compressed into two charging channels not far apart that were only sixty or seventy paces wide. This narrow formation created excellent conditions for the use of firearms. The Ming Army's firearms were least afraid of convenience.
The most fearful thing is to spread out and attack from all directions, which will scatter the firepower to all directions.
But today is a big day. It is also the day when the Protector of the Ming Dynasty developed the blunderbuss and the Madam Xu machine gun, which is the most powerful day that can be recorded in history and shock the world. It is also the day that truly proves that hot weapons can crush cold weapons.
In front of guns and cannons, the days when the strongest unit, the cavalry, were useless.
Countless Tatar cavalry rushed over, with muskets and Mrs. Xu's machine guns roaring and roaring, pouring countless bullets on the unprotected flesh and blood bodies. Rows of muskets could kill two people with one shot.
Three hundred people, because the formation was too dense, there was no need to aim, and there was no chance of missing the target. If most of the bullets hadn't hit the horses, the number of people killed by the blunderbuss would have been even greater.
However, this is enough. The blunderbuss fires continuously, and the rate of fire is already very fast. It can be fired once in a few breaths, which is already a terrifying lethality. Continuous shooting, bullets raining down, the lethality
It was more ferocious than bows and arrows, and countless Tatars were killed.
But the most terrifying thing is Mrs. Xu's heavy machine gun. The operator of the machine gun rotates the muzzle. Amidst the dull roaring sound, the rotating barrel sprays red flames, and the bullets are shot out in a whooshing way. A belt of ammunition can last for more than ten seconds
When they are all fired, there are hundreds of bullets, which is comparable to dozens of blunderbuss holding blunderbuss and shooting at the same time.
The shooter controls the handle at the rear and can tilt and adjust the angle at will, aiming and shooting through the front sight. Apart from spending some energy, it is simply easy and simple. Five Madam Xu machine guns fire together, making it difficult for the Tatar cavalry to advance. All
Any man or horse exposed to the firing range will not escape misfortune.
If we talk about the last time the Tatars charged into battle, the shocking thing was only the iron teeth and barbed wire formations, as well as the roar of grenades. That time the machine guns and blunderbuss were completely reduced to supporting roles, and Mrs. Xu's machine gun was just a sudden appearance of the Tatars.
If Zi then withdrew his troops, then this time, the cannons and machine guns proved that they were the protagonists of this battle.

Under the blood-red sunset in the evening, amid the roar, I watched countless blood-colored flowers bloom and burst on the bodies and mounts of the Tatars. They were like flowers of death, and like flowers of souls watered with their last lives.
Flowers bloom one after another, beautifully and terrifyingly.
The Tatar cavalry refused to retreat. They charged forward as if to prove something, as if to prove their bravery and invincibility. Even though the soldiers and horses in front of them fell densely, ownerless horses ran around, and the bodies of the people and horses piled up in front of them.
Like a mountain, they refused to retreat.
Although these people on horseback in the north with Mongolian and Yuan ancestry are barbaric and cruel, they also have their own advantages, which is that they are strong and brave. Just like the wolves on the grassland, they refuse to give up their dignity and refuse to admit it.
Their own failure. They charged and shouted, always thinking that just like their ancestors, just like the battles they had experienced in the past, they would be able to rush in front of the enemy and chop off the opponent's head with a machete.
But today, their stubbornness is a ridiculous act of committing suicide without understanding the current affairs.
The barrel of the cannon was scalding hot, and the two hundred rounds of ammunition each gunner was equipped with were almost exhausted. The five Mrs. Xu heavy machine guns had been cooled with cold water four times, and one of them had completely misfired due to mechanical failure.
At this time, the Tatar cavalry blew a long, weeping horn. The attacking Tatar cavalry began to stop charging, and fled quickly together with the Tatar soldiers and horses on the cliff, evacuating frantically.
At the junction of the grassland and the cliff above the cliff, the grass passage between the rocks was covered with corpses. There was blood everywhere.
The corpse is blood red, the grass underground is blood red, and the stones are blood red.
The sunset is also blood red.
Although this battle did not last long, it only lasted from early morning to sunset. The number of casualties was not the largest. The total number of casualties on both sides did not exceed 20,000. The scale was not the largest, and the two sides fought directly.
The number of troops is no more than 30,000.

However, in this battle, only a few hundred blunderbuss and five Mrs. Xu heavy machine guns were used to fire together, plus some bows and arrows and grenades, which prevented the 20,000 Tatar cavalry from rushing within 50 steps of the front of the formation.
of miracles.
