Chapter 555: Occupy the Water Source

Marching under such circumstances was simply a new challenge for the Qin army. It was so difficult that almost every distance there were brothers who died, they did not die on the battlefield, but on the march.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the reconnaissance battalion commander looked at the map.

"It's almost here, there are still thirty miles to go, brothers work hard." The tone of the reconnaissance battalion commander was full of sadness.

It was too difficult, it was simply the hardest part of their march. Along the way, nearly 100 of them died. This last thirty miles may be the reason for the descent. The woods are becoming more and more thin, and the corresponding dangers are becoming less and less.

It's night, and there's no moon.

In the barren mountains and mountains, Wei Bao and the soldiers of the Qin army climbed on the grass and did not dare to move. Not far in front of me is the sentry post of the Satsuma Domain, and it seems that because of the war, the people of the Satsuma Domain in Shuri Castle actually set up a sentry on the way up the mountain. It seems that they are well aware of the importance of this water source, so even if it is in the hinterland, about 3,000 soldiers have been deployed to block the way up the mountain.

The source of Shurijo Castle's water source is on the mountain, and if you want to cut off their water source, it is imperative to go up the mountain. The only way to block the water source is to build a hut on the mountain, so that the entire Shuri Castle can be cut off. You must know that there are tens of thousands of people in Shuri Castle, including women and children, young and old.

These tens of thousands of people need a huge amount of water every day, and once the water source is cut off, it is impossible to collect dew and supply it to the entire city.

Wei Bao summoned several lieutenant generals, and several generals of Great Qin were discussing how to fight this battle.

"There were at least three thousand men at the front of the sentry, and they had built a defense against the mountains. If we rush by force, then it is very likely that the people in the city will make dumplings. A Qin army general said.

He was right, and the people who were guarding the mountain must have been at a disadvantage in their forces. Although they have a lead in equipment, if they can't take this post quickly, then they are likely to be dumplings by the people in the city. When the time comes, all the work done will be wasted.

"That's not going to work."

"We have fifty Tiger Squat Cannons now, and I mean let a small force with thirty Tiger Squat Cannons go around Shuri Castle. Let's start with an artillery bombardment of Shuri Castle, and when the people here see us attacking Shuri Castle, they will definitely pay attention to the attack from both sides. As soon as the troops on this side leave, we will immediately launch a fierce attack on the position below the mountain. Wei Bao looked at the few people beside him and said the plan in his heart.

"Okay, that's a good note."

"Yes." For Wei Bao's attention, several generals agreed.

The attack plan was decided, and soon there was a Qin army of more than 100 people, carrying thirty tiger squatting cannons, carefully leaving the team and touching in the direction of Shuri Castle. Fortunately, it was dark now, and there was darkness everywhere, and because of this, the soldiers easily walked around Shuri Castle.

The whole process was only about half an hour, and the Qin army of more than a white person made a detour to Shuri Castle. Quietly and silently went around the castle, and put the tiger squat cannon within the firing range, and the barrel was facing Shuri Castle.

The Tiger Squat Cannon is similar to the mortar of the special period in the previous life, which is a projectile gun. The soldiers of the Qin army had completed the construction of artillery positions, and a whole box of shells was placed near each cannon.

"Open fire."

With a loud shout, I saw thirty tiger squatting cannons roaring in unison. In an instant, more than 30 shells bombarded the city walls. The purpose of the Qin army was not to kill or injure the enemy, but to attract attention. No one paid attention to how many shells hit the city, and they did not adjust after one round of shelling, but went straight to a second round of continuous fire.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

A succession of artillery shots rang out, and the purpose of the Qin army was to make a big move and attract the soldiers stationed at the water source. Because the lethality was not considered, the Qin army used all the powerful flowering bombs.

The roar of the heavy shelling really woke everyone in Shuri Castle from their dreams.

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers in charge of guarding the water source are chatting. They were chatting about the girls in the secret prostitution restaurants in the city, the one with whiter skin and the one with the tall figure. During the conversation, there were smiles on all of his faces that all men understand.

"Boom, boom, boom."

A series of artillery shots were heard from the direction of Shurijo Castle, followed by the explosion of cannonballs like fireworks.

"What's going on, what's going on."

The general in charge of defense at the foot of the mountain was awakened from his dream, hurriedly put on his armor and ran out of the house.

The terrain on their side is high, and the terrain of Shuri Castle is low, so the scene of the explosion of Shuri Castle can be said to be in full view.

"General, could it be that Shuri Castle was attacked?" A soldier replied tentatively.

Hearing this answer, the general was full of black lines, and he said to himself, you can be confident and remove the two words maybe.

Now, as long as you are not blind or foolish, you can definitely see that Shuri Castle has been attacked.

"Leave a thousand men to defend, and the rest will follow me back to Shuri Castle." The general shouted at his soldiers.

The order was quickly delivered, and an army from the camp at the foot of the mountain was soon headed for Shuri Castle. Seeing these people leaving, Wei Bao, who was hiding in the grass, slowly looked up at their backs, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

With a defensive team of 3,000 people, the Qin army did not have the certainty of breaking through it in a short time. But now there is only a defense of a thousand men, so things are different. Wei Bao was completely sure that within half an hour, he would occupy the entire water source.

"Set up the artillery."

"Open fire."

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

Successive orders were given, and the artillery of the Qin army began to emit a constant roar. The flowering shells fell like hail on the navigation of the camp at the foot of the mountain, and a round of shells went down, and countless Satsuma clan people were beaten into pulp, and the whole camp was miserable, with stumps and broken arms everywhere.

"Rush, rush."

"The sword and shield men gave me the lead, and the musketeers followed me." Wei Bao's shouts resounded among the Qin army.

"Bang, bang, bang."

At the command of the order, the soldiers who had been hiding in the grass immediately came out. The "Xianyang-made" in the hands of the musketeers has already begun to fire.

The fierce gunfire wanted to go, and the soldiers of the Satsuma clan were caught off guard, and people kept falling to the ground. The distance between the two sides is not too far, and the distance of more than a thousand steps allows the Qin army's musket to play very well. By the time the sword and shield soldiers rushed to the position, it was already difficult to organize an effective defense under the entire foothill position.

"Kill them all, and leave not a single one." Wei Bao gave some bloody orders.

They are now a lone army, and they have to defend the entire water source with the hard work ahead. Leaving prisoners means that the amount of food and grass consumed will increase, and troops will have to be allocated to guard the prisoners. So, leaving no prisoners at the moment is the best option.
