Chapter 560: The Satsuma Domain Retreats
The Qin artillerymen stared at the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain who were catching up with them with red eyes, and they didn't even dare to blink their eyes, silently estimating the distance between the two sides in their hearts.
"Reload." The command flag in the hands of the artillery commander of the Qin army waved down heavily.
At the sound of an order, dozens of gunners of the Qin army began to quickly reload. This Qin army, which was deep behind enemy lines, carried fifty tiger squat cannons, and all the Qin gunners began to get busy for a while. The soldiers who were able to become death squads were the most elite soldiers in the Qin army, and they reloaded quickly. In a short time, all the shells were already stuffed into the chamber and ready to fire.
"Open fire." After the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain entered the firing range, the artillery commander of the Qin army gave an order. Dozens of artillery pieces of the Qin army let out bursts of roars. In an instant, dozens of flowering bullets tilted out.
"Boom, boom, boom."
"Boom, boom, boom."
Due to the long journey, the Qin army did not carry many shells. However, this is not the time to save shells.
After a volley of three rounds, the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain, who were pursuing in the mountains, instantly became confused. Patches of Satsuma Domain soldiers fell to the ground, blood and entrails, stumps and broken arms, and most of the Satsuma Domain soldiers who were pursuing in the front row fell.
Originally, the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain wanted to pursue with great momentum, but they were bombarded by this round of artillery fire by the Qin army. It was like being poured a basin of cold water on the head, and the momentum of the pursuit instantly diminished. This round of sudden artillery fire bombarded them a little dazed.
Rules, this is the rules of the Qin army's war. One ring is one ring, the rings are interlocking, and when you take one step, you have already planned two or three steps behind. After a big war, the contrast between the regular army and the miscellaneous army suddenly became prominent.
At this time, however, a larger basin of cold water was poured on the heads of the Satsuma clan. Maybe it can't be said to be cold water, it should be said to be a bolt from the blue.
"Can't stop, give me a blast and rush to the ......"
As soon as the Qin army's artillery fire stopped, Pu Lang immediately raised the long knife in his hand and began to shout loudly. wanted to encourage the soldiers to rush forward, and take the position of the Qin army with a lot of energy.
Then, the word that rushed up in a hurry was not yet spoken. Prang felt a trance in front of him, and a sharp pain came from his abdomen. At this time, he realized that his abdomen was full of blood. A piece of shrapnel the size of a half-palm shattered the armor in his abdomen and plunged straight into his lower abdomen.
To say that this Purang is also a point quilt, due to the lack of copper and iron in the Satsuma Domain, a little copper and iron will be made into weapons as soon as possible. Therefore, there are not many things such as armor and shields that consume a huge amount of copper and iron, and there are few in the entire Satsuma Domain. Purang is the son of the old patriarch and a rare general in the Satsuma Domain. Therefore, he happened to be one of the few Satsuma clansmen who could wear armor all over his body.
It is also said that so many people of the Satsuma clan who were wearing leather armor, and even those who did not pass on the armor, were not shot. The shrapnel was like an eye, and it was aimed at him, a man in full armor. This is also true of the time.
A sharp pain swept through his body, and Prang knew in his heart that the shrapnel had only hit his internal organs. Suddenly, his whole eyes went black and he fell to the ground completely.
"General Prung, what's wrong with you."
"Young Patriarch, what's wrong with you."
Seeing Pulang fall to the ground with a bang, the surrounding Satsuma clan soldiers immediately panicked, and a group of people rushed over and stepped forward to check Purang's injuries.
"The young patriarch is injured."
"The young patriarch is injured."
For a while, shouts rang in the ears of the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain. Suddenly, the morale of the Satsuma clan quickly dissolved like ice meets hot water.
As soon as Prang fell, the Satsuma clan on the front line immediately fell into a leaderless situation. panicked, it can be said that he was completely panicked.
"What's wrong with my son?"
"Save me."
When the old patriarch of the Satsuma Domain, Pu Yuan, heard the news, he immediately panicked in his heart, and hurriedly urged everyone to save people.
"Old patriarch, otherwise, Mingjin, rescue the young patriarch first, and fight tomorrow." At this time, an elder of the Satsuma clan standing beside the old patriarch Pu Yuan said.
The old patriarch Pu Yuan was already panicking, and now in his opinion, nothing was as important as his son's life. For the sake of today's plan, as long as he can save his son first, this battle will not be impossible tomorrow.
You must know that this battle will be fought tomorrow, and no matter how many people die, it will be someone else's son who dies. But if he had to fight today, most of the people who died would have been his son.
"Mingjin, Mingjin." The old patriarch of the Satsuma clan hurriedly urged.
"Go, go, go."
The sound of gold resounded throughout the world, and the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain on the frontline battlefield had long been reluctant to retreat. Hearing the sound of gold, he immediately carried the injured and unconscious Purang back. This Satsuma clan really came and went quickly. couldn't help but let the Qin army, who was defending on the mountainside, breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the people of the Satsuma clan withdrew in time, and although Purang lost too much blood, it was not life-threatening.
After this battle, the Qin army and the Satsuma clan can be said to have lost both. More than 800 Qin soldiers died, and now there are only more than 1,500 Qin soldiers left. The people of the Satsuma clan were even more miserable, with more than 10,000 people thrown in before and after, and only about 6,000 people withdrew from the battlefield. Moreover, there are still a large number of seriously wounded among these 6,000 people, and according to the medical methods of the Satsuma Domain, there is no doubt that these seriously injured soldiers of the Satsuma Domain have been registered with the King of Yama.
Shurijo Castle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now my son is wounded and lacks troops, but this water source cannot but be recaptured. Let's express our opinions, and whoever has a good idea, say it. The old patriarch Pu Yuan looked at the elders of the Satsuma clan in the hall and said loudly.
However, what can they do about these people who are half-buried in the loess. For a moment, there was an unusual silence in the entire hall. Leading the army to fight, they old men will definitely not be able to. However, there is no one left behind in the Satsuma Domain who can lead an army alone.
For a long time, no one spoke. At this time, one of the oldest clan elders spoke. If someone else is half buried in the loess, then he must be buried in the loess to the neck stalk.
"Bang, bang." He pestle the ground with the crutch in his hand, and then slowly spoke: "Patriarch, in my opinion, it is better to bring Pu Liang back." In addition, we are calling back the soldiers we have discharged, and only in this way can we recapture the water source. ”
On Shurishi Island, in addition to the Satsuma clan in Shurijo Castle, there are four other clans. And Pu Liang was the one who was sent outside Shuri Castle to form an anti-Qin force with four other tribes, and they were now fighting Han Shin on the front line.
If Pu Liang is withdrawn at this time, I am afraid that the pressure on the other four major tribes on the front line will be greatly increased. However, the notion that the dead are not dead and the poor is clearly also quite popular in the Satsuma Domain.
