Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

The rapid and passionate "tick-tick, tick-tick" sound of the horn resounded throughout the battlefield, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, stirring in the ears of every soldier, inspiring the soldiers of the Iwami Regiment to be high-spirited and forge ahead courageously.

The soldiers of the Iwami Regiment responded immediately and quickly drew out their sharp steel Tang swords that were shining with cold light. In an instant, a terrifying murderous aura overwhelmed them.

They were like tigers emerging from the mountains, pouncing on the enemy with overwhelming force.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield became one-sided, and the balance of victory completely tilted towards the Iwami coalition.

The Zhoufang army was defeated and fled into the city with all their might.

The two armies fought in a group, and the battle became more and more brutal. When they reached the city gate, the soldiers of both sides were already entangled and it was impossible to distinguish between the enemy and us.

At this moment, the Iwami Regiment seized the opportunity and rushed into the Ishiban County like a tiger descending from the mountain, and engaged in a thrilling hand-to-hand combat with the Suo Army.

Seeing that defeat was inevitable, Dali Yiwu knew that he was powerless to turn the situation around, so he had to flee with his trusted guards.

When the soldiers of the Suo Army saw their commander fleeing from the battlefield, their morale instantly plummeted.

They knew that they had no chance of winning if they continued to fight, and the only way out was to surrender. So, everyone knelt down and begged for mercy, raising their hands to show their surrender.

As the sounds of surrender came one after another, the smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated.

Dalei Yiwu and his personal guards, about 300 people, rushed towards Suo County without stopping.

After this battle, the Iwami Regiment inflicted heavy damage on the Suo Army by more than 12,000 men and captured more than 8,000 men. The Iwami Regiment itself also lost more than 1,000 men.

… …

Brigadier General Iwami Ryuuga of the Tenchi Army led his 4th Regiment and marched towards Nagato County as determinedly as a steel torrent.

In order to protect the silver mining area from the invasion of Nagato's army, the 4th Regiment accelerated its march.

However, just as they were marching forward bravely, a figure appeared in their sight like a gust of wind.

He was the liaison officer sent by the daimyo of Nagato County, Taro Aso. He looked flustered, as if he was carrying a heavy burden, and it was obvious that there was an extremely urgent matter that needed to be conveyed.

The liaison officer walked forward quickly, saluted Brigade Commander Tang with a standard military salute, and then lowered his voice to convey Taro Aso's message to him.

It turned out that the Nagato army was ordered to attack Iwami County according to the requirements of the Tokugawa shogunate, but after receiving the letters from the Princess of Spirit Summoning and the Sword Saint, they decided not to participate in the six-way attack, but to conduct a show-like training performance to deal with the supervisor of the Tokugawa shogunate.

At this moment, they had completed the scheduled training mission and were on their way back home to Changsheng County.

This news surprised Brigade Commander Tang. He originally thought that he would have a life-and-death battle with the Nagato army, but he didn't expect that they were just bluffing.

However, he could also understand Taro Aso's difficulties. For a weak daimyo, it was indeed difficult to offend anyone.

The liaison officer then told Brigade Commander Tang that Taro Aso had already rushed to Jiangjin City without stopping to pay a visit to Princess Lingzhao.

After receiving the news, Brigade Commander Tang made a prompt decision and ordered the troops to stop advancing, with the rear team becoming the front team and rushing back to defend Ota Castle.

… …

Wei Xiaobao and his party have been traveling in the cave for more than two days. During this period, they have shown their special abilities and relied on their excellent lightness skills to rush towards the depths of the cave.

Along the way, everyone had no time to pay attention to the breathtaking and unique scenery around them.

God helps those who work hard. On the morning of the third day after entering the cave, they saw a ray of light in the distance - that was the exit! When they successfully stepped out of the cave, they saw an open plain at the foot of the mountain.

After a short rest, the four continued their journey and soon arrived at a small village nearby.

There, they met an elderly man, and went up to him to inquire where this place was.

The old man told them that this was Suo County, and only ten miles away was Yamaguchi Prefecture, where the prefectural government was located.

However, when he arrived at the gate of Yamaguchi County, Wei Xiaobao was surprised to find that the soldiers in charge of guarding the city were actually his own Tiandi Army soldiers.

Later, after meeting with Li Qiang, the commander of the Tiandi Army, he learned that the 50,000 Tokugawa troops had already been wiped out.

This operation was carried out under the order of Brigade Commander Tang. The regiment was ordered to seize mining resources in the Ishiyu Mountains in Suo County and advance all the way to Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Wei Xiaobao was impressed by the idea of ​​Commander Tang to open up the passage from Iwami County to Suo County, and realize the interconnection between Sanyin Road and Sanyang Road. From a strategic point of view, this worm-shaped map of Japan was cut off. The counties south of Iwami County and Suo County were isolated, which was of great strategic significance.

Wei Xiaobao ordered Li Qiang to garrison in Yamaguchi Prefecture and control the port of Suho County.

Afterwards, Wei Xiaobao and his four companions set out on their return journey, returning to Taitian City along the Shiyu Mountain Range road. After a short rest, they regrouped and continued their journey towards Jiangjin City.

Jiangjin City was very lively at this time, with majestic soldiers everywhere. The scene was so imposing and shocking!

The best soldiers and generals from the four Fan counties gathered here, forming a powerful army of more than 80,000 people.

With the help of the Iwami Regiment of the Imperial Guard, the total strength of Jiangjin City has reached an astonishing 90,000. This is truly a military force that cannot be underestimated!

Wei Xiaobao thought for a long time and decided to speed up the pace of overthrowing the dark rule of the Tokugawa shogunate.

He made a prompt decision and asked Taro Ishikawa to leave more than 10,000 Iwami troops equipped with the latest weapons to garrison Jiangjin Castle to ensure the safety of Iwami County.

The remaining 80,000 troops were composed of the Imperial Guard's Iwami Regiment and other elite troops to form the Imperial Guard's Southern Expedition Division, with Ishikawa Taro as the division commander.

There are four brigades under the division, each commanded by a daimyo from Izumo, Iwami, Bingo and Aki.

Wei Xiaobao ordered the Southern Expedition Division to march towards various counties such as Sanyodo and Saikaido south of Iwami County and Suo County, to eliminate all daimyo and barbarian counties that were affiliated with the Tokugawa shogunate, laying a solid foundation for overthrowing the dark rule.

At the same time, Wei Xiaobao also ordered the Osumi Regiment located at the southernmost tip of Saikaido to march northward to form a pincer attack with the main force, striving to achieve the reunion of the two armies as soon as possible and jointly eliminate the remnants of the Tokugawa shogunate.

In addition, Wei Xiaobao also relied on the power of Princess Ling Zhao. He asked this princess, who was worshipped as a god by the Japanese, to issue a solemn and solemn notice to the daimyo in Sanyodo and Saikaido in the name of Emperor Atsai.

This notice not only called on the daimyos to put aside past grievances and work together, but also ignited their desire to restore imperial glory.
