Chapter 559: White Knuckle Battle
Seeing that the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain had rushed up, Wei Bao drew the long knife at his waist and shouted, "Brothers, go up, kill me." Let's tell this group of savages and let them see the advantages of our bayonets. ”
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Here, the war drums of the Qin army also sounded, and the war drums on both sides echoed each other.
The sword and shield soldiers of the Qin army with big shoulders and round waists were the first to rush out and be at the front, followed by the Qin army musketeers armed with bayonets. The musketeers of the Qin army may not be able to compare with the sword and shield soldiers who are all more than 1.8 meters tall and have big shoulders and round waists. However, fighting in a white-knuckle battle in a group of three is far better than this group of savages.
"Wind, wind, wind."
The Qin army rushed out of the position and entered the Satsuma clan in front of them amid overwhelming shouts of killing. Soon, the soldiers of both sides became entangled, and a fierce white-knuckle battle ensued.
For a while, the two sides didn't want to go to work, and this was also the first close confrontation between the two sides. The soldiers of the Qin army were all well-trained and well-equipped. In contrast, although the people of the Satsuma Domain were poorly armed and equipped, they hunted and hunted every day, and they had some skills in hand-to-hand combat.
On the battlefield, the sword and shield soldiers of the Qin army were at the forefront. With a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, they are as brave as a god of war on the battlefield. The broad-bladed broadsword in his hand slashed at the heads of the savages of the Satsuma Domain, and they were so embarrassed that they turned on their backs.
And the musketeers of the Qin army were not to be outdone, and their stabbing skills were specially trained. In a team of three, the left and right two are responsible for blocking, and the middle one is responsible for assassination. Such a strange combination also made the people of the Satsuma clan suffer a lot for a while.
Prang stood in the middle of the military formation in the rear, and he had a full view of the entire battlefield. From the beginning, the two sides were evenly matched, but now the Satsuma clan has gradually fallen into disadvantage. The whole battle situation is developing in the most unfavorable direction for the Satsuma Domain.
Now that 5,000 people have been invested on the battlefield, since 5,000 people can't eat more than 2,000 people in the area, the only way to do this is to increase the troops. This is a battlefield, and there is no room for hesitation on the battlefield. Soon, Prang made the decision to increase his troops.
"Actually, people, follow me up to help." Prang drew the long sword at his waist and yelled at the remaining 4,000 or so Satsuma Domain soldiers.
Now that these people are the only remaining strength in Shuri City, they must annihilate this group of Qin people and reclaim the water source that belongs to them no matter what.
"Follow me and kill me." Prang took the lead and rushed into battle with the remaining Satsuma Clan soldiers.
With the addition of this group of new forces, the form of the Satsuma clan on the battlefield has also eased a lot. Even vaguely, there is a meaning of shifting from defense to offense.
"Give me the drumsticks, and I will help my son." The old patriarch of the Satsuma Domain, Pu Yuan, shouted.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Taking over the drumstick from the soldiers beside him, the old patriarch personally beat the drums to help the people of the Satsuma clan and his son.
In the passionate war drums, the soldiers on both sides come and go, and the one who fights is flesh and blood. The soldiers on both sides have quarreled with more than 10,000, and nearly 10,000 people have started a battle for water at the foot of this small mountain.
The heavy smell of blood was somewhat pungent, and every inch of the ground was stained red with blood at this time. The corpses all over the ground were still boiling with hot blood, and both sides involved in the battle could be said to have suffered heavy casualties at this time.
This battle lasted for two hours, and the Qin army couldn't hold it anymore. There were only more than 2,000 of them, but they were able to resist the attack of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Satsuma Domain. At this time, the Qin army's casualties were close to half, and their positions had been torn apart. The same position even changed hands several times, and the two sides started a battle of back and forth.
"General Wei, you can't fight, you can't hold it if you continue to fight." The war had reached a fever pitch, and a former army general was covered in blood and shouted in Wei Bao's ear.
Wei Bao glanced at the battlefield, and there were only more than a thousand Qin troops who could stand. And at this point, these more than 1,000 people are afraid that they are about to be exhausted.
"Let the artillery go to the mountainside position first and set up the artillery position, once we start to retreat, the Satsuma clan will definitely bite us hard, and let the artillery definitely press them down for me." Wei Bao ordered.
The Qin army has not many shells, they are a lone army, and the shells consume resources, and if you hit one, you will not be able to replenish one less shell. However, at this time, there is no need to take care of this, and it is now imperative to be able to withdraw the remaining Qin army to the second line of defense.
The order to retreat to the second line of defense was whispered among the Qin soldiers, and the remnants of the Qin army began to close the line of defense, and slowly everyone leaned together.
"Adjutant general, take someone to go first, I'll break back." Wei Bao held a broadsword and cut down several enemies and shouted at the lieutenant general.
"Ahh
"General, you go first, we break off." At this time, I saw several wounded soldiers of the Qin army rushing out with explosives bags.
"Boom, boom, boom."
A long-distance explosion sounded, and swaths of the Satsuma clan were blown to the ground. The people of the Satsuma clan at the center of the explosion were directly blown into stump pieces. These explosive packs were used last night to open mountains and dams to cut off water sources, and they were much more powerful than the Qin army's artillery shells.
The power of the explosives pack directly caused a commotion among the Satsuma Domain's army, and the pursuit formation was naturally much more chaotic.
"Withdraw, withdraw." Under the urging of the Qin generals, the remaining Qin soldiers began to retreat towards the second line of defense on the mountainside.
"Chase, chase." Prang hurriedly urged.
Pu Lang knew in his heart that if he let Qin Jun run away at this time, it would almost be equivalent to all the previous efforts in vain. More than half of their soldiers have already suffered casualties, and if they can't take the water source in one go, they will definitely have no strength left to attack the second line of defense.
"Brothers, stop them." At this time, several wounded soldiers of the Qin army rushed out with explosives bags.
In this kind of primeval deep forest with a lack of medical treatment and a harsh environment. These seriously wounded Qin soldiers knew in their hearts that even if they evacuated to the second line of defense, it would be difficult for them to hold on. In this case, it is important that someone come to break the back. So, let them come.
Such a sniper attack at the cost of the lives of the wounded soldiers of the Qin army immediately distanced the retreating Qin army and the pursuing Satsuma clansmen. It's just that Pu Lang didn't give up at this time, seeing that the Qin army was still some distance away from the mountainside position. Gritting his teeth, he immediately led his soldiers to chase after him.
Pu Lang didn't know that at this time, the Qin artillerymen on the mountainside were gritting their teeth and looking at them with red eyes. Just wait for them to come into range, and then bombard them fiercely to avenge the death of their brothers.
