Chapter 555: Occupying the Water Source

Marching under such circumstances was a new challenge for the Qin army. It was too difficult, and almost no brothers died at any distance. They did not die on the battlefield, but died on the way to the marching.

In the deep mountains and forests, the investigation battalion commander looked at the map.

"It's almost here, there are still thirty miles. Brothers, work harder." The tone of the investigation battalion commander was filled with sadness.

This journey was too difficult, it was the most difficult part of their march. Nearly a hundred people died on this journey. The last thirty miles of journey may be the reason for going down the mountain. The woods are becoming increasingly sparse, and the corresponding dangers are becoming less and less.

It was night, no moon.

In the wilderness, Wei Bao and Qin soldiers climbed on the grass and did not dare to move. Not far ahead was the post of the Satsuma clan. It seemed that because of the war, the Satsuma clans of Shuri Castle actually set up posts on the way up the mountain. It seemed that they also knew the importance of this water source, so even though they were in the hinterland, they set up about three thousand soldiers to block the way up the mountain.

The source of the water source in Shuri Castle is on the mountain. If you want to cut off their water source, the most important thing is to go up the mountain. Only by building a mountain to block the water source can you cut off the retreat of the entire Shuri Castle. You must know that there are tens of thousands of people in Shuri Castle, plus women, children, and young people.

The water source these tens of thousands of people need is massive every day. Once the water source is cut off, it is impossible to achieve by collecting dew and using it in the entire city.

Wei Bao summoned several deputy generals, and several generals of the Qin Dynasty were discussing how to fight this battle.

"There are at least 3,000 people in front of the guard post, and they have established defenses along the mountain. If we forcefully rush, then it is very likely that the people in the city will make dumplings." said a Qin general.

He said this correctly. He must be at a disadvantage in the people who are on the mountain's guard post. Although they are ahead in equipment, once they cannot quickly capture this guard post, they may be dumplings by the people in the city. At that time, all their efforts will be wasted.

"So it depends on whether it's OK."

"We have fifty tiger squat cannons now. What I mean is to let a small group of troops take thirty tiger squat cannons around Shuri Castle. Let's first bombard Shuri Castle. When the people here see us attack Shuri Castle, they will definitely attack both sides. Once the troops here leave, we will immediately attack the positions at the foot of the mountain." Wei Bao looked at the people beside him and expressed his plans.

"Okay, this is a good idea."

"Yes." Several generals agreed with Wei Bao's attention.

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

It took only half an hour before and the Qin army of Bai Yumen detoured the city of Shuri. He quietly walked around the city, putting the tiger squat cannon within the range, and the cannon barrel was facing Shuri Castle.

The tiger squat cannon is similar to the mortar in a special period in his previous life. It is a type of projectile cannon. After the Qin army soldiers built the artillery positions, a whole box of shells were placed near each cannon.

"fire."

With a loud shout, thirty tiger squatting cannons roared in unison. In an instant, more than thirty shells bombarded the city wall. The purpose of the Qin army was not to kill the enemy, but to attract attention. No one noticed how many shells bombed the city, nor did they adjust them after one round of artillery, but directly carried out the second round of continuous shooting.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

As the sound of cannons sounded one after another, the Qin army was to make a big noise and attract the soldiers stationed in the water source. Because the lethality was not considered, the Qin army used huge flowering bullets.

The roar of these violent shellings really awakened everyone in Shuri Castle from their beautiful dreams.

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the water source were chatting. They were talking about the girls in the secret brothels in the city. Their skin was even whiter and the taller. During the conversation, each of them had smiles that men knew were all smiles.

"Boom, boom, boom."

There were a series of cannon sounds from Shuri Castle, followed by the explosion of cannonballs like fireworks.

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

The general responsible for defense at the foot of the mountain was awakened from his dream, and 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 explosion of Shuri Castle is now a sight to see.

"General, maybe Shuri Castle was attacked?" a soldier replied tentatively.

Hearing this answer, the general was covered in black lines. He said to himself, "You can be more confident and remove the two words possible."

In this scene, as long as you are not a blind man or a fool, you can definitely see that Shuri Castle was attacked.

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

The order was quickly conveyed, and an army soon rushed towards Shuri Castle in the camp at the foot of the mountain. Seeing these people leaving, Wei Bao, who was hiding in the grass, slowly looked up at their backs, and involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The Qin army has no confidence in defeating the three thousand people in a short time. But now there is only one thousand people in defense, so things are different. Wei Bao is completely sure to occupy the entire water source within half an hour.

"Put the cannon."

"fire."

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

As orders were issued one after another, the Qin army's artillery began to roar. The flowering bullets fell like hail and the camp was navigation at the foot of the mountain camp. As a round of shells went down, countless Satsuma tribes were beaten into meat mud. The entire camp was terrible, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere.

"Breaking, breaking."

"The sword and shield soldiers took the lead, and the musketeers followed me closely." Wei Bao's loud shout rang out among the Qin army.

"Bang, bang, bang."

After ordering, the soldiers who were originally hiding in the grass immediately came out. The "Xianyang Made" in the hands of the musketeers had already started to open fire.

The fierce gunfire wanted to go, but the soldiers of the Satsuma clan were caught off guard and people kept falling to the ground. The distance between the two sides was not far, and the distance of more than a thousand steps allowed the Qin army's muskets to be well played. When the sword and shield soldiers rushed to the position, it was difficult to organize effective defenses at the base of the entire mountain.

"Kill them all, no one left." Wei Bao issued a bloody order.

They are now an isolated army, and there are still difficulties in defending the entire water source. Leaving prisoners means that the food and grass consumed will increase, and they will also have to divide their troops to guard the prisoners. Therefore, the best choice is not to keep prisoners now.
