The prototype of the "Xianyang-made" equipped by the Qin army's musketeers was the Hanyang-made in the previous life, although the theoretical range of the Xianyang-made was 1,800 meters, but the effective range was only about 800 meters. Therefore, the Qin army is also waiting at the moment, waiting for the people of the Satsuma Domain to arrive a little.

"Equipment."

"Launch."

"Bang, bang, bang."

As soon as the Satsuma clan reached effective range, the muskets of the front army began to roar. A deafening sound of muskets rang out, and swaths of the Satsuma clan fell.

You must know that among the more than 2,000 people infiltrated by the Qin army, except for the necessary artillery and the sword and shield soldiers responsible for defense, almost all of the rest were musketeers. Of this force, there were fifteen hundred musketeers.

It is precisely because the Qin army's musket can be used in close combat with bayonets, and white-knuckle combat is also one of the training items of the Qin army. The musketeers are a long-range and melee type of troops, and for a time they suppressed the Satsuma clan in terms of firepower.

Of the 1,500 musketeers, the "Xianyang-made" had a load of five rounds, which means that more than 7,000 rounds of ammunition were tilted on the heads of the Satsuma clan almost instantly. With the kind of tattered little shield in their hands, how could they withstand this dense rain of bullets.

After a round of muskets from the Qin army, they fell into a reloading interval, but even so, the remaining Satsuma Domain soldiers did not dare to rush. Under one round of bullets, at least 1,000 members of the Satsuma clan were killed. The lethality of this weapon is really terrifying.

Seeing that things were not good, Prang was also a decisive man, and immediately gave the order to retreat. Within the effective range of the Qin army, if they want to rush up at a distance of 800 meters, then the Qin army can conservatively estimate that they can also fire two rounds of bullets during this time. In this way, they were afraid that if they barely rushed in front of the Qin army, they would be killed or wounded. And the remnants of the army, who have been killed and wounded more than half, have any morale at all.

Thinking of this, Prang decisively withdrew his soldiers.

Seeing the withdrawal of the Satsuma Domain, Wei Bao here was not in a hurry. His task was to hold back, and it was best for him not to move the enemy.

"Son, why do you have to withdraw the army as soon as you fight." The old patriarch of the Satsuma domain, Pu Yuan, asked.

"Dad, you can't fight like this. The power of the Qin army's musket is far beyond my thoughts, and the wooden shield and rattan shield we makeshift can't defend against it at all. You can't lose troops for such a plain reason. We also have to find a way to prevent the Qin army's muskets, otherwise even if we rush to the front of the battle, I am afraid that our soldiers will not have the heart to fight. Prang explained.

When everyone heard Prang say this, their hearts couldn't help but tighten, and then they nodded again. Praun was right, they didn't have many troops, and if they lost half of them just to rush to the front of the battle, then it would not be easy to capture the water source.

"Guys, what can I do?" The old patriarch Pu Yuan looked at the generals of the Satsuma Domain.

way, what can they do? The muskets and artillery of the Qin army are unseen and unheard of, where can there be a way to deal with the muskets of the Qin army.

When the old patriarch asked, everyone was quieter than the other, and they all looked up, without saying a word, and almost didn't say anything, you see, the weather is really good today.

"Dad, I have a solution?" At this time, the young patriarch Purang spoke.

"My son, what can you do?" The old patriarch Pu Yuan asked.

"Dad, in my opinion, if you want to block the musket of the Qin army, at least it is a copper shield or an iron shield." Prang said.

Hearing Pu Lang say this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then they all glanced at Pu Lang, and said in their hearts, what you said is equivalent to not saying it. Who doesn't know that the iron shield can block the muskets of the Qin army, the key is that we don't have it.

The Satsuma Domain's mining and smelting skills were extremely low. To collect from them, some copper and iron should also be used to make weapons first, and you must know that the copper and iron to be consumed by this shield may be enough to cast a dozen swords or dozens of spear heads. Because of this, even if you turn the treasury of Shurijo Castle upside down, you may not be able to turn out an iron shield.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Prang seemed to realize that he was talking nonsense. So he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that although we don't have an iron shield, we can replace it with something else." ”

"Oh, something else instead?" Everyone looked at Prang curiously.

Prang hurriedly said, "I plan to make a kind of shield cart, and we will first use a giant wood to cut into heavy planks, and then install the planks on the wheelbarrow. Finally, the futon is drenched on the quilt, and then the mud is tied to the wooden shield. In this way, our soldiers can hide behind the shield cart and advance towards the Qin army's position. ”

"Seconds, seconds."

"Good way, good way." Prang said his plan, and the Satsuma clan would immediately echo him.

The old patriarch Pu Yuan also looked at his son proudly, and praised: "My son is smart, he is really a tiger father without a dog." ”

With a solution, the people of the Satsuma clan began to act. It wasn't until noon that more than 50 shield carts were finally driven out. Looking at these heavy and stocky shield carts, the people of the Satsuma clan also had confidence.

On the shield cart of the Satsuma clan was a huge horizontal shield about one meter high and about two meters wide, and the shield was also tied with a thick wet bedding covered with mud. Behind each shield cart were many Satsuma clansmen, who pushed the shield carts cautiously forward.

Seeing the people of the Satsuma clan who were slowly advancing, Wei Bao's face was gloomy. Under such a heavy shield car, the power of the Qin army's musket has been greatly weakened. Although it may not be impossible to penetrate such a simple earthen tank, the design distance must be greatly shortened. In this case, there is not much time left for the Great Qin musket to play.

"Put it in first, five hundred steps are playing."

Wei Bao waved his hand at his subordinates and shouted softly.

In this case, the distance of 800 steps will definitely not be able to penetrate, so you can only try to get closer. On the Satsuma Domain's side, after seeing that after entering the range of the Qin army, the Qin army did not shoot, and he was also excited for a while.

Soon, the Satsuma clan advanced a distance of three hundred paces, which was a kind of torment for the Qin army.

"Ready, shoot."

"Bang, bang, bang."

The muskets of the Qin army roared and hit the shield carts of the Satsuma clan. The earth and rocks immediately cracked, but there was no overwhelming sense of shock. Although there were bullets that could pierce the shield cart, the Satsuma clan was not defenseless.

"Kill, kill, kill."

The soldiers of the Satsuma Domain, who saw this scene, let out a burst of shouts. This is a relatively fair battle, just now it was simply a one-sided slaughter of them by the Qin army.

"Damn, these savages aren't all stupid, there are really smart people." Looking at the people of the Satsuma clan whose morale was high because of the shield car, Wei Bao scolded.
