Thousands of grassland bandits and cavalry charged toward the base of Chengde city wall, a mighty and magnificent sight!
Ta-da!
Ta-da!
The sound of horses' hooves echoed, and the earth rumbled.
The sudden appearance of cavalry on the flank surprised the Tiger Legion soldiers.
However, the Tiger Legion soldiers who received the order from their division commander did not panic much.
A regimental commander ordered in a deep voice, "Be on guard! Cover our brothers' attack on the city!"
They were the outermost main attack force, and now, facing the attack from the grassland bandit cavalry, they changed roles and began to do their best to block the threat from the flanks of the grassland bandit cavalry.
At the same time, the artillery positions also changed their bombing direction.
Dozens of cannons were aimed at the grassland bandits and cavalry in the open field and began bombarding them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One cannonball after another landed in the open field, blocking the grassland bandits' cavalry and the attacking troops.
Although the shells did not directly hit the grassland bandit cavalry, the bombardment across the open field still caused the grassland bandit cavalry's charge to come to a halt.
Once bitten by a snake, twice shy of a well rope!
The trauma from yesterday's artillery bombardment still lingers in the minds of these grassland bandit cavalrymen.
Therefore, facing the overwhelming bombardment, every grassland bandit cavalryman felt a sense of unease and fear.
"Deputy Commander, what should we do?"
One of the confidants said with a frown.
Turgh glanced at the Tiger Legion soldiers charging in the distance, then at the Tiger Legion artillery positions on the other side.
Then, Turg spoke up: "Ageji, you lead a thousand cavalry to harass the artillery positions of the Dongning army! Try your best to prevent the Dongning army's artillery fire from wreaking havoc again!"
"yes!"
Agji responded in a deep voice.
"The rest of the people,"
Turgh took a deep breath and roared, "Charge with me!"
He knew he had a mission to complete.
No matter how difficult it is, we must complete the mission. This is not only for ourselves, but also to protect Chengde!
"kill!"
Turgh roared, brandishing his scimitar and squeezing his legs against the horse's belly.
The warhorse neighed and charged forward.
At the same time, the grassland bandit cavalry behind him also charged after Turgh.
Ta-da!
Ta-da!
One by one, the grassland bandits and cavalrymen crossed the area bombarded by artillery fire and sped away.
No matter how fierce these grassland bandit cavalrymen were, their ferocity was of no use against the bombardment from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the relentless bombardment, one after another, the grassland bandit cavalrymen were killed on the spot.
Meanwhile, on the outer flank of Chengde City, a regiment of the Third Division had taken on the task of blocking the enemy.
One by one, the Tiger Warriors stood in the open field, staring intently at the grassland bandit cavalry.
Before long, some grassland bandits and cavalry charged through the area bombarded by artillery fire and headed straight for this side.
"shooting!"
At the regimental commander's order, one by one, the Tiger Legion soldiers, holding Dongning-made flintlock muskets, pulled the triggers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dense hail of bullets swept across the open field.
The grassland bandit cavalry, who had just broken out of the bombing zone, were instantly caught in a hail of bullets.
In an instant, dozens or even hundreds more grassland bandit cavalrymen died on the spot.
The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, but eventually some grassland bandits and cavalrymen managed to reach the front lines.
In an instant, the melee resumed.
The Tiger Legion soldiers, fearless of death, gripped their bayonets and thrust them at the grassland bandit cavalry.
Even though they knew that infantry was no match for cavalry, no one retreated.
They knew that behind them were their brother troops who were attacking the city with all their might!
They fought to the death, refusing to retreat, all to buy time for their brothers' troops to capture the city!
As long as they hold out, and our brother troops capture Chengde, everything will turn around!
The killing continued.
A strong stench of blood permeated the battlefield.
Meanwhile, outside Chengde, the remaining troops of the Third and Fourth Divisions displayed a strong fighting spirit.
They knew that their fraternal units were buying them time.
If they don't fight desperately, they will be letting down the blood and sacrifices of their brother units!
"Charge!"
Upon reaching the breach in the city wall, a battalion commander, wielding a broadsword, roared, "In a narrow encounter, the brave prevail! Charge!"
Led by their battalion commander, the Tiger Legion soldiers, carrying Dongning-made flintlock muskets, charged toward the city wall.
Even the fierce grassland bandits on the city walls were helpless against the intense firepower.
In particular, the Tiger Legion soldiers displayed an unprecedented fighting spirit, and in a short period of time, they broke through the defense system of the grassland bandits.
When the Tiger Legion soldiers stormed up this section of the city wall, it was like a small breach being breached in a long dike.
More and more Tiger Legion soldiers surged toward the city wall.
In an instant, the small opening grew larger and larger, and the surging floodwaters completely tore the city wall apart.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dense hail of bullets whizzed through the city walls.
Some of the grassland bandits, armed with scimitars, were riddled with bullets before they could even pounce.
Blood gushed out, and he collapsed and died instantly.
"kill!"
The Tiger Warriors roared once more, and the hand-to-hand combat on the city wall began.
Seeing this, Sonom was completely stunned.
He never expected that Chengde City would be captured in such a short time.
