Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 257: Tansho Street Battle 3
"How are the casualties?"

In front of Tansho Street, after the third bombardment, the Fire Country General and Shimura Danma asked about the returning ninjas immediately. Both of them had nervous expressions on their faces.

The last round of shelling lasted twenty minutes, with more than seven thousand dead, seriously injured, and missing, and no fewer than eight thousand slightly injured.

"General, sir, this time we have 1,100 dead, 2,100 seriously injured, 700 missing, and 3,300 slightly injured."

The ninja who came to report the casualties immediately told the news, feeling heavy-hearted. The casualties were too heavy, and they had already lost more than half of their lives before they even saw the enemy.

After hearing the report, the Fire Nation admirals Nou and Shimura Danma were at a loss for words for a moment.

The casualties this time were much less than the previous two times, which shows that the soldiers have gained some experience. However, the casualties are still huge. If it happens a few more times, I am afraid that this Duan Ce Street will not be able to be defended.

"Withdraw the people and defend Tanbo Street!"

The Fire Nation general gave the order. There was no need to defend the outer defense line now. The trenches outside had been almost blown up. Continuing to defend would only send soldiers to the trenches to die. It would be better to rely on the city to deal with the enemy.

"I agree! Continuing to send people to guard there will only lead to death." Shimura Danma also agreed with this order. The defense line outside has become useless. Now the only possibility of a battle is to rely on the building defenses on Tansho Street.

Soon, the orders from the general and Tuanma reached the position outside Tansho Street.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the order.

To be honest, after three rounds of shelling, those who were still alive in the trenches were already terrified, fearing that a shell would fall on their own soldiers. Even if they were hiding in anti-gun holes, they were always worried about the holes being blown down.

When those who were rescuing the wounded heard the order, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After all, after the rescue, it would be their turn to guard the trench and wait for death.

That’s right, now in the eyes of all soldiers and ninjas, staying on the position is equivalent to waiting to die here.

When they received the new order, everyone packed up their things without hesitation and retreated to Duance Street. If it weren't for the mandatory order, many people would have left without even their belongings.

Back in Tansho Street, under new orders, the soldiers began to build defenses again.

In the back half of Tance Street, more than 20,000 seriously injured people are receiving treatment, and the wailing sounds echo throughout the back half of Tance Street.

"Woooooo~"

However, not long after the soldiers and ninjas retreated into Tansho Street, the whistling sound of artillery shells was heard again in the sky.

"Enemy attack~!"

Hearing the sound, the soldiers in Duance Street shouted in fear and desperately looked for a place to hide.

The next moment, shells kept falling, shattering houses, blowing down walls, and sending the broken limbs of the defenders flying everywhere.

At the same time, outside the city of Tance Street, chariots of various types finally appeared.

Amid the rumbling sound of engines, the chariot group used heavy tanks to clear the way, and the detonators buried in the ground kept exploding around the tanks, but they had no effect at all. As for the traps in the pits, they had all been blown down, and the remaining barbed wire was even more useless.

The heavy tanks slowly opened up a fifty-meter-wide road and rushed all the way to the uninhabited position in front of Duance Street, easily crushing the trenches.

Looking at the blocked entrance and exit of Tansho Street (a city without city walls), the tank gun turret turned and aimed the muzzle at the sandbags and barbed wire blocking the entrance and exit. Under the horrified gaze of the samurai and ninjas huddled behind the sandbags, the tank gun roared.

"Run away!"

Seeing this, some ninja warriors were frightened and fled from behind their shelters shouting in fear.

"Boom~"

The next second, dozens of heavy tanks in the front row began firing in unison. Amid the loud explosions, sandbags at the entrances and exits were blown everywhere, the houses at the entrances and exits collapsed, and corpses, broken limbs and arms mixed with rubble and tiles were splashed everywhere.

After one round of explosions, the shelling that had lasted for a full half hour finally stopped.

Amid the roar of engines, three hundred tanks, led by heavy tanks and followed by ten thousand infantrymen, finally drove into Tance Street.

In the city of Tansho, after the shelling stopped, wailing was heard everywhere. The surviving ninjas, samurai and recruits began to rescue the wounded urgently and dig their companions out of the ruins of the houses.

"The enemy has entered the city!"

However, before they could rescue many people, cries were heard from the south.

"What?" "Don't treat the wounded, fight now!"

Hearing the shouts, the samurai, recruits and ninjas in the city put down their work to treat the wounded, asked the lightly injured to take the seriously injured to the rear, and then began to run towards the south of the city.

In the city, a wandering ninja hid behind a half-collapsed house, looked at the tanks driving into the city, leaned forward and threw an explosive kunai at the tank.

“Ding, boom!”

The next moment, the detonating kunai hit the tank with a crisp metallic collision sound, and then the detonating tag exploded, instantly causing a large amount of flames and smoke.

However, in the flames and smoke of the explosion, the tank emerged intact.

The special armor defense of Sakura Star's heavy tanks is comparable to that of 900 mm thick steel plates, which cannot be destroyed by a mere detonating talisman.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Seeing this, the wandering ninja's eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The next second, the machine gun turret on the armored vehicle behind the heavy tank quickly turned around, making a sound of gunfire.

Amid the gunfire, the walls of the ruined house were immediately smashed into pieces, and the wandering ninja who had not yet had time to leave was hit by a large-caliber machine gun bullet that pierced through the wall, causing his flesh to splatter and half of his body to be directly blown to pieces.

"what!"

Behind the wandering ninja, another wandering ninja was so frightened when he saw this scene that he lost control of his bowels and bladder, and screamed in fear like a madman.

"boom!"

The next second, a cannon shot was heard, and the crazy shouting stopped abruptly.

The dilapidated house was completely reduced to ruins with the sound of a tank gun.

At the corner of the street, a warrior rushed out, drew the longbow in his hand and shot a long arrow at the tank.

"Bang bang bang~!"

As soon as the long arrow was shot, gunshots from automatic rifles rang out one after another. The warrior who had just shot the long arrow suddenly spurted out several streams of blood and fell down amid the gunshots.

The long arrow he shot drew an arc in the sky, landed on the tank with a clang, fell to the ground powerlessly, and was easily crushed by the advancing tank.

After the chariot team entered Tance Street (city), they began to separate in the city, with five chariots in a team, and dozens of infantrymen followed in coordination.

On the streets in the east, dozens of organized samurai and new recruits shouted, holding high their samurai swords and farm tools, and rushed out of the ruined houses towards the tanks and armored vehicles that drove into the streets.

"Da da da~"

The next second, the sound of machine guns from the advancing tanks and armored vehicles rang out, and the warriors and recruits who rushed out of the house shouting were immediately covered in blood and flesh.

Amid the continuous roar of machine guns, dozens of warriors and recruits fell down in just three to five seconds.

"What the hell are these!"

In a dilapidated house on the street, a wandering ninja looked at the samurai and recruits who all fell down in a matter of seconds, his eyes widened in horror and his body trembled continuously.

He was the one who organized the charging recruits and warriors. He originally wanted them to help him attract attention so that he could launch a sneak attack.

But the operation ended as soon as it began, and dozens of lives were lost in the space of a second, without even getting within 50 meters.

Feeling the vibration of the tank, the wandering ninja trembled and covered his mouth, curled up in the corner of the ruins and dared not make any sound. That kind of steel monster was not something that a wandering ninja like him, who was just a Genin, could deal with.

When the tanks drove past the ruins where he was, his heart was so nervous that it was about to jump out.

"Bang bang bang~!"

A few seconds later, as he watched in horror, several Sakura Star soldiers, dressed in clothes that looked very strange to him, covered each other and entered the half-collapsed house, pointed their rifles directly at him and pulled the trigger.
