Chapter 549: Landing on Shuri Island

Pu Liang glared at his lieutenant fiercely, and he said: "Whether you want a ship or a life, now the only way to stop the Qin army is to burn the ship and use the fire." Otherwise, if the Qin army is allowed to go ashore, we will not have time to deploy defenses for a while, and how many villages will be destroyed in your hands. ”

"Listen to me, set fire to the ship." Pu Liang said categorically.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

At this time, the artillery of the Qin army had been adjusted again, and hundreds of shells were fired towards the shore. Black cannonballs came from far and near in the sky, smashing down on them. After hitting the ground, it burst out again.

The Qin army's artillery fired all flowering shells, which were all fragmented shrapnel, which could cause maximum lethality to people. This was especially true for miscellaneous soldiers like the Satsuma Domain, who had no armor and no shields.

"Go, light the fire."

"Go, light the fire." Puliang's voice rang out, and he lit his torch and ran towards the ship on the shore.

Pu Liang knew very well that the Qin army wanted to take advantage of the suppression of artillery fire and then land quickly. Time was running out for the Satsuma Clan, and they had to set fire to their small wrecked ships before the Qin army's big ships sailed to the shore, and then form a natural barrier.

The ships of this era were all made of wood, and the most feared thing was fire. As long as they ignited the fire, the Qin army could only temporarily avoid the edge. Fire and water were ruthless, and before the fire burned out, the Qin army could not break through the defenses of the fire at all.

Under the leadership of Pura, the soldiers of the Satsuma clan rushed to the shore almost in a row. They stumbled aboard the boat, time was urgent, and a circle of people wanted to set fire but could not find flammable materials.

"Quick, rip off the sails and start the fire." Puliang looked up and saw the sails and immediately shouted at the soldiers.

As soon as Pu Liang shouted, the soldiers hurriedly cut the sails, which were made of animal skins and could easily be ignited. As soon as the fire ignited, it quickly burst into flames.

Soon, dozens of ships on the shore were burning with flames. These ships were made of huge timber, and together with this fire, it could be said that it had the potential to burn the sky.

At this time, Han Xin had naturally seen the raging fire from the clairvoyant mirror, and now the shore could be described as a sea of fire.

"Stop moving." Han Xin's order was conveyed in the Qin fleet.

The ships of the Qin army were all large ships, and each ship had a large amount of gunpowder. If a person is not willing to be ignited, then the fun will be great. At that time, it was not just a fire, but an explosion.

On the shore, after some tossing, Pu Liang had no strength in his body. Having just lit the fire, he jumped ship with his soldiers to escape. At this time, he was already soaking wet, supported by several henchmen. Gasping for air, he was exhausted.

"Boom, boom."

Looking at the ship that turned into a sea of fire, Pu Liang's heart was dripping blood. This is the entire family of the Satsuma Domain, and now it has been burned to the ground.

Looking at the fleet of the Qin army, looking at this giant dragon in the sea composed of huge warships. A sense of powerlessness rose in Pu Liang's heart, the current Great Qin was simply invincible in the sea, such a big ship, whether it was their ship or the ship of the neighbor Fusang, was like a child's toy in front of the Great Qin fleet.

"Sooner or later, one day, I, Puliang, will also build such a fleet." Pu Liang looked at the fleet of the Qin army and made a promise in his heart that was destined to be impossible.

In the middle of the sea, Han Shin also ordered the fleet to temporarily stop shelling. At this time, the raging flames on the shore had blocked their view, and all they could see was a raging red flame. Artillery has no sight, and naturally it is not possible to carry out effective shelling.

"Han Shuai, shall we just wait?" A general of the Qin army asked.

"Don't worry, they can't run away?" Han Xin said with a smile.

Although Puliang's plan to burn the ships seemed to block the Qin army, he also burned all the ships of the Satsuma Domain, leaving them completely trapped on the isolated island and becoming turtles in the urn.

In fact, Pu Liang had two choices, one was to explain that the ship would be burned to temporarily block the Qin army, and the other was to lead the fleet to withdraw before the Qin army went ashore. Although this would allow the Qin army to occupy part of the land depth, it would still preserve a retreat for the Satsuma Domain.

At sea, if there is no ship, then it is equivalent to a person with a broken leg, and you have nowhere to escape. Therefore, in Han Xin's eyes, the enemy general on the opposite side is just a mediocre talent who only cares about the front of him. In order to resist himself temporarily, he did cut off the retreat of the whole clan, and such a mediocre talent was not the slightest challenge for Han Xin.

The fire burned for three or four hours, and in the evening it began to be extinguished. At this time, reinforcements from the Satsuma Domain had also arrived.

At this time, the Satsuma clan had completely abandoned the camp on the shore, and instead hid in the dense forest behind the camp, ready to snipe the Qin army at any time. Shuri Island has a typical subtropical coastal climate, with lush forests and huge trees. Their clansmen have lived here since childhood, and sniping at the Qin people in the woods is the most powerful for them.

The fire here gradually extinguished, and Han Xin also began to preliminarily arrange tasks.

"After the fire is extinguished, the ship stops a mile near the coast, and although there is a high probability that the people of the Satsuma clan will abandon the shore, we should not take it lightly."

"After three rounds of shelling, General Zhang led 10,000 people ashore first, and after confirming that the surrounding area was cleared, he set up camp on the shore." Han Shin's order was conveyed.

As for the plan to capture Shuri Island, although Han Shin sought speed, he also demanded stability while seeking speed. It had been blocked by fire for several hours, and it was already evening. Today, it is already the best result to be able to occupy the coast and establish a base area.

After establishing a foothold on the coast, wait for the dawn of tomorrow to advance in layers. It's getting dark soon, and attacking the jungle at night is such a stupid thing, and a handsome talent like Han Xin obviously won't do it.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

The ships approached the shore, and there were several successive rounds of artillery salvos. The camp left on the shore of the Satsuma clan has been beaten to ruins by artillery, and the camp built by the enemy Hanshin will not be used. Although it saves time and trouble, there will be many hidden dangers.

The bombardment of the camp was to prevent the Satsuma clan from setting aside ambushes in the camp, and to prevent any secret passages in the camp.

"Attack, attack."

After several rounds of artillery fire, the advance troops of the Qin army changed to small boats and began to approach the shore.

"Shall we fight?" The Satsuma clan people hiding in the woods asked.

"No, we can't go out. The Qin army's artillery is fierce, and there is no shelter on the shore, so we will be a live target when we go out. Puliang said.

The biggest advantage of fighting in the dense forest is that the lush canopy can be very effective in blocking the artillery bombardment of the Qin army, which is also a rare piece of news that is powerful against the Satsuma Domain.
