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

At the meeting, Wei Xiaobao stood up first and introduced to everyone in detail the specific battle situation of the Tiandi Alliance in the early stage of Japan.

He looked serious and said in a loud voice: "After a hard and arduous battle, we have now firmly controlled the two key counties of Osumi and Iwami.

Not only that, among the eight Shanyin regions, five foreign counties have resolutely chosen to join the Heaven and Earth Federation and successfully formed a powerful imperial guard army southern expedition division.

This powerful force is launching a fierce attack with tremendous force from the direction of Iwami and Osumi at the same time, forming a siege on Sanyin Road, Sanyo Road and Saikai Road.

The war is going very smoothly at the moment. As long as we keep up this momentum, we will be able to bring all of the above areas into the territory of the Heaven and Earth Federation in just half a month!"

Immediately afterwards, Wei Xiaobao began to deploy the combat missions of the main force of the Tiandi Army in an orderly manner.

Among them, the main force will be composed of the brave and combat-savvy 1st Brigade and the powerful Osaki Regiment of the Imperial Guards, which will jointly serve as the advance battalion, while the other troops will be incorporated into the central army as the backbone.

In addition, the navy also dispatched an advance fleet consisting of three well-equipped ironclad ships and Treasure Ship No. 501 to fully cooperate with the advance battalion to launch the offensive.

As for the remaining ironclad ship and the other two treasure ships, they were arranged to stay in the central army to be responsible for the support.

The route of this attack was carefully planned, and the first place to be conquered was Nankai Road in the south.

Nankaido consists of an isolated island with four important counties, namely Tosa County, Iyo County, Kanki County and Awa County.

On the vast land, a powerful and awe-inspiring army is ready to go.

They came from the small counties of Ryukyu and Japan, and gathered into a powerful force - the advance camp of the Heaven and Earth Allied Forces.

This brave and fearless team shouldered a difficult and sacred mission: to capture Kochi Castle in Tosa County.

Once Kochi City is captured, the army will quickly split into three groups and attack the other three foreign counties with tremendous force.

This is undoubtedly a carefully planned strategic deployment, and every step is full of wisdom and courage.

And once the entire Nankai Road falls into their hands, the Heaven and Earth Alliance will be able to march through the Sankai Road without hesitation and attack the core of the Tokugawa Shogunate - Edo Castle!

At the same time, the 300 elite members of the Princess Ling Zhao's Guard will also be integrated into the Warrior Guard and will be led and commanded by experienced and highly skilled warriors.

The masters of these guards will shoulder the heavy responsibility and accompany the three sergeants who first followed the Princess Ling Zhao on their journey. Their mission is to persuade the super daimyo who have great influence in various places to surrender to the Federation of Heaven and Earth.

Today, the battle of Shanhaidao is about to begin, and the troops have boarded the warships and are ready to set off.

Early tomorrow morning, they must successfully land on the beach and engage in fierce fighting!

As the bell rang to end the meeting, everyone immediately threw themselves into busy work to make final preparations for the upcoming war. It seemed as if they could feel the smoke and bloody smell gradually approaching...

Two teams from the 202st Brigade each boarded ironclad ships No. 203, 204, and 501, while the Osaki Regiment boarded treasure ship No. .

At dawn the next day, they successfully arrived at the port of Kochi in Tosa County.

The commander-in-chief of the vanguard battalion was the First Brigade Commander Xiao You. His core members included: Second Regiment Commander Zhang Bing, Third Regiment Commander Li Li, Osaki Regiment Commander Osaki Yoshiyasu, as well as a number of elites from the Navy, including Captain Zuo Zhitang of the 202 Qinglong, Captain Li Anjun of the 203 Bailong, Captain Kang Younian of the 204 Huanglong and Captain Fan Yaobing of the 501 Treasure Ship.

It was still early in the morning, and the sky was just getting light. Kochi Castle had just woken up from its slumber.

The daimyo of Yamasa, Yamanouchi Nakagawa, who was in the city, tossed and turned all night and could not sleep because he recalled the letter of surrender sent by Princess Ling Zhao and the news that the coalition forces of heaven and earth would soon arrive in Tosa.

He stood alone on the tower of the prefectural government, gazing at the Kochi Castle in front of him. This city was built bit by bit by his grandfather, who started from scratch, from a small fishing village.

Faced with the possible war, he really couldn't bear to see this prosperous city destroyed.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance was extremely powerful, with strong soldiers and horses. The Tokugawa family army fought against it several times but was defeated and suffered heavy losses every time.

Now, asking the weak Tosa to fight against such a powerful force is like throwing an egg against a rock, and the chances of winning are slim.

However, Tosa was helpless because the Yamanouchi family was an adviser to the Tokugawa family and this territory was also given by the Tokugawa family. If they did not resist, they would fall into the dilemma of being disloyal to the Tokugawa shogunate.

While he was pondering, the war on the beach had already broken out.

I saw three majestic ironclad ships firmly anchored on the sea five kilometers away from Kochigang.

It turned out that since Kochi Port was just an ordinary civilian port and had no naval garrison, let alone any coastal defense artillery, this naval advance fleet dared to approach so brazenly to within only five kilometers of the port.

Immediately afterwards, a brave and battle-hardened team - the Second Regiment of the First Brigade received an important task: to serve as the landing vanguard!

They acted quickly, and 1,500 battle-hardened soldiers boarded the specially built landing craft without hesitation.

These landing craft were all carefully built from sturdy and durable wood, but were not equipped with any modern power plants or sail propulsion systems.

This means that the soldiers have to rely on their strong physical strength and perseverance to push the boat forward by paddling hard.

Each landing craft was capable of holding 30 brave soldiers, and up to 500 of these vessels were prepared in total.

They are like silent leaves, quietly sailing towards their target port.

On the landing ship, the atmosphere was tense and heated.

Zhang Sancai, the company commander of the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion, stood at the bow, looking firmly ahead. He knew the importance and danger of this mission, so he kept encouraging and urging his soldiers to row harder.

"Brothers, work harder! We must overtake the ship in front!" Zhang Sancai shouted loudly, and his voice echoed over the sea.

The soldiers responded one after another, paddling with all their strength and fighting against the wind and waves.

Sitting on the landing ship in front was Ma Fugui, the company commander of the third company of the first battalion. He and Zhang Sancai were not only neighbors of Wei Xiaobao's bakery, but also had a life-and-death friendship.
