2709 casualties
"Boom. Rumble. Rumble. "The cannonballs hit directly into the assembled army of the Toba country, two shells did not hit, but one shell hit, causing more than a dozen casualties, and the most terrible thing is that the tragic situation of those who were killed made those Toba people who had experienced the battle feel terrified.
The shell hit a soldier in the abdomen, which was completely shattered, and the internal organs were all over the place with the shell. Even the person who was hit next to him was seriously injured, and his arm was directly knocked off, and those soldiers had never seen such a cruel war scene, blood, and extreme violence, which exceeded their understanding of war.
"See. No matter how strong their armies were, there was still a big difference in weapons. Sheba, who was standing in the fortifications, said easily. Their fortifications consisted of simple moats and simple wooden walls made of wood. Such fortifications were enough for the soldiers of the Toba country.
After the first round of attacks, the Toba army was obviously a little shocked or confused, and there was a great confusion in the assembled ranks, some soldiers left their posts because of excessive nervousness or fear, and then were caught by the soldiers who were patrolling and beheaded in front of all the soldiers, which was a typical deterrent method.
The soldiers gradually calmed down, and then, under the leadership of the officer, they still maintained a loose formation and began to advance, and the banner was advancing towards Sheba's side.
"Damn it. What a bunch of mongrels who are not afraid of death. Let them just die. Sherpa scolded loudly.
Originally, he thought that the army of the Toba country would stop when it encountered such weapons, and then they would send representatives to negotiate with them, but now, they were clearly thinking wrong. The opposing army continued to advance, albeit in a somewhat loose formation, but they maintained their pace. This has never happened before.
"Sir, are we ready to retreat, we still have some ships to use on the beach." The captain said nervously.
"Timid. Cowardly, what are you afraid of, they can't get to us at all, they're completely broken, we use gunpowder weapons, understand? The gap is very large. Sheba shouted loudly.
"Go. Bring some of those shells, and we'll blow them up if they get close, damn it, shit. Sheba scolded. The pirates of the Chu State did not have grenades, and they did not have the money to buy such expensive things, the shells they used were all solid shells, and they used iron balls far away. A little closer, there were stone balls, and then a lot of miscellaneous objects, such as rusty nails, or some iron objects, stones, or something. These things are all shotshots. The pirates don't have that much money, they don't know how to do business, they can only live by looting, and they can use their weapons sparingly. Even the artillery in their hands was bought by the Qin army several times, and the number of times it was changed hands was too many to count. Their weapons are very messy anyway.
"Boom. Rumble. "The artillery is still bombarding. The casualties caused by the stone balls were not very large. compared to the huge quantity. Toba has a big advantage. They can afford such casualties.
"Damn." The captain looked at the group of Tobas who were getting closer and closer, and he felt very nervous, and he felt that the war seemed to be very bad for him, for no one had ever attacked them like this. Even if they attack, they will soon retreat. Suffering such casualties, they will definitely retreat.
"It's closer. They came closer. It's just over a hundred steps away. Some of the pirates shouted nervously.
"Bang bang. Bang. "Some pirates fired prematurely, and Toba, like most of the soldiers on the Western continent, did not have much armor, which gave the muskets a great lethal effect, and some soldiers were hit. But with the maintenance of the officers, the ranks still moved forward. Along the way, the officer has maintained such a role. This gave the soldiers a great encouragement. The morale of the Topa people is higher.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, fire at me when you get close, otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you." Shepa gave the order to.
"Fifty steps." The team is formed within fifty paces. At this distance, the Toba's long-range weapons of destruction came into play, throwing javelins and stones that began to hit their fortifications.
"Fight back. Fight back. Sheba shouted loudly. A stone struck him on his armor. In contrast, the defense capability of the Chu people has been strengthened a lot, and the outdated armor in the army has become a treasure in their hands. The Qin army, the Zhao army, and the new Korean army are no longer equipped with armor, because this kind of thing has become a burden, and his role has been very weak, but it will increase the load of the soldiers, so that the soldiers feel tired, not only that, but the musket, and the further progress of artillery, so that his role is no different from wearing single clothes, so the armies of various countries have eliminated such armor in large numbers, but for these pirates. This is a good thing, it is a burden to deal with the army of the Central Plains, but it is a treasure to deal with these backward indigenous countries.
"Damn it. Fire, shoot. Shoot. Sheba shouted loudly. His men kept firing.
The troops of the Toba country let go and all rushed into front of the trench, and at first they hesitated, but soon the officers took the lead in rushing in, and they didn't care about it. A large number of soldiers entered the trenches and climbed the hills, ropes were their only means of siege, and of course they would attack the gates by ramming. They carried logs. The siege tools were rudimentary. Because most of the operations were field.
"Bang. Bang. "The pirates on the wooden walls kept shooting.
"Boom." Ignited shells were thrown, which were originally artillery grenades, but now exist as defensive weapons, and these shells are very expensive and cannot be used by pirates because they cannot master them. But when it comes to defense, it is the best weapon, and the large number of Toba troops gathered in the trench becomes the best target. The lethality of the shell is being maximized to its lethal effect. A large number of soldiers of the Toba army were killed. The casualty figures frightened and panicked the Tobas. Because there has never been such a big cost of casualties.
