The people on the top of the mountain thought they were safe, so they walked down the mountain slowly. But after they had taken a few steps, the terrible sound came again.
How could this be possible? It was clearly separated from us by a mountain peak. There was no way it could hit us.
Some people say these two sentences loudly, as if to increase the confidence of others, and as if to increase the confidence of themselves.
But soon this confidence was gone. It was true that the shooting was not very accurate, but a few shells fell among the crowd. However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that these shells fell on the top of the mountain and shattered many rocks on the top of the mountain.
The downhill road on the south side is steeper, which further increases the power of the broken rocks. When they roll down from the top of the mountain, if you cannot dodge in time, you will be hit by these broken rocks and fall to the bottom of the mountain.
The soldiers who escaped the disaster were smashed to pieces and screamed in agony. This was much more miserable than those who were just bombed.
At least those people had intact bodies, although their bodies were covered with shrapnel, but they were still lucky compared to the people in front of him. These people in front of him were hit by rocks and fell down the mountain. They died slowly along the way and I don’t know how much suffering they endured.
Only a few thousand people escaped, but because of the second round of shelling, more than a thousand people died for various reasons.
Of the rear team of more than 8,000 people, only less than 3,000 survived in the end. The rest died or were seriously injured for various reasons. If you are seriously injured under such circumstances, there is basically no possibility of survival.
By the time they caught up with the rebel army, more than 3,000 of them were all injured, and there were very few who were intact. In that era, not to mention their Fusang, even in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, many people died because they could not get medical treatment.
"Why the hell is he running so fast?"
Looking at the light reflected from the mountain, which was also a code word they had developed for communication, the artillery observers and scouts came to the same conclusion at the same time. These people had already run out of the design range of our artillery. Now, unless they continued to move closer to the shore, there would be no possibility of hitting them.
The distance between the last wave of shells and the last person was more than a few hundred meters, so continuing to fire would be a waste of shells.
The sailors next to them gave a wry smile to their general's words. Anyone would run away during the bombardment, rush forward regardless of anything, and it would also stimulate their potential.
"General, shall we go ashore and chase them?"
Some Marines are already prepared and are about to take out their weapons. Although they are not numerous, only about three or four hundred people in total, their individual combat capabilities are very strong. Back in Goguryeo, it was normal for one person to kill more than a dozen people. After all, our weapons, equipment and training are better than theirs.
"Put your stuff away! Who told you to go ashore and chase after the unfamiliar people up there? With only a few hundred of you, you'll be wiped out once you get there. Hurry and get out of the bay and back to their rear."
Ding Jiayong said unhappily that it was good for his men to have courage, but if they only had courage but no brains, how could it work?
Ding Jiayong felt it at this time. This was the feeling that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had when he looked at him before. Now Ding Jiayong thought that he had been elevated, but the people under him had not made any progress at all. They were just strong in body but simple in mind, and could do nothing except fight hard.
Several warships quickly adjusted their sails and retreated to the northeast. They had to catch up with the fleet led by the previous deputy general and then bomb the coastal cities of Ito Taro and Fukuda Yasukawa.
Fortunately, Ding Jiayong did not let the people on the boat go down to pursue. If they had gone down to pursue, they might have suffered losses when they reached the map of Futian Kangchuan. Of course, this is all a story for later.
On the battlefield in Fuso's capital, when Li Xiang was observing the rebels, the two rebel leaders were also observing the Tang army. Unfortunately, they were disappointed because the Tang army was too far away from them. The people in front of them were all Fuso's troops.
"These two bastards are going too far. Have they forgotten who their ancestors are? The Tang people came and licked their faces and went up to them. Now they really think they are the Tang army, especially that idiot Ohkawa Genzaburo."
Ito Taro was so angry that his veins popped out. If these two armies joined forces with them, even if they couldn't defeat the Tang army, they would at least be able to put pressure on it. Are you all fools? The Tang Dynasty offered such an agreement, and you guys still want to help them fight. It's really unreasonable.
Fukuda Yasukawa was also very angry at the moment. In his opinion, the people of Fuso were not united. If they could unite, although they would not be able to defeat the Tang army, it would be no problem to conclude a new agreement. Now you two bastards have gathered so many people to help the Tang people as cannon fodder. By the time we get rid of you first, we will have been seriously injured.
"Want to fight?"
Taro Ito's brain is naturally not as good as Yasukawa Fukuda's, otherwise his son would not have been killed by him. So in such matters, although he was not convinced in his heart, he still had to ask Yasukawa Fukuda.
"We won't gain any advantage if we fight, so we should talk to them first. If we can resolve the issue through negotiation, there's no need to inflict unnecessary casualties on our men. This is the foundation of our family."
Fukuda Yasukawa said cunningly, now seeing that Li Xiang's side was not so hasty, and even temporarily put together two Fuso armies, although the combat effectiveness of these two armies was not strong, Fukuda Yasukawa and his men could defeat them, but the problem was what to do after you finished fighting. After the battle, your army suffered heavy losses, but the Tang army was waiting nearby and could take advantage of the situation. Wouldn't they be defeated by others then?
"What if they don't talk?"
Taro Ito frowned and said that if he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely not negotiate under the current circumstances, after all, the other party is more powerful.
"Just give it a try, okay?"
Fukuda Yasukawa said helplessly, "With such a stupid teammate, the hope of victory is getting slimmer and slimmer. Sending someone over to say a few words is not like sending yourself over, so what's there to be afraid of? If you don't try, there's no chance at all."
