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

Drool Yellow Machine replied respectfully: "My Lord, I once had the honor of leading 300 members of the Princess's Guards to fight a fierce battle with 2000 Tokugawa miners in the Shiyu Mountains. In that battle, we wiped out a total of 2000 soldiers with an amazing record of zero casualties."

"Such a record!" Oda Nobuko was shocked.

Huang Ji continued to narrate, "That's not all. In the battle of Iwami, the Iwami Regiment of the Imperial Guards with a force of 10,000 soldiers wiped out the 20,000 soldiers of Suho County without any casualties. In another battle, the Tiandi Army, with its astonishing strength, wiped out the 50,000 Tokugawa Army with only 4,000 soldiers, and captured Tokugawa Koshin alive, also without any injuries..."

Listening to Huang Ji's narration of the battle achievements, Oda Nobuko's doubts gradually dissipated, and were replaced by deep awe and trust in the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

After careful consideration, Oda Nobuko finally made up his mind and said resolutely: "Sasa-kun, I have decided that I will support Her Royal Highness the Princess and overthrow the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. What should I do next?"

Sasaki smiled slightly, with a determined light in his eyes: "Oda-kun, your decision is very wise. Next, you need to reorganize your troops and prepare for battle. Once the princess's army arrives, we can go north together and jointly realize the great cause of overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Oda Nobuko excitedly held Sasaki Konaki's hand. Their eyes met in the air, full of expectations and confidence for the future.

… …

With the assistance of Miyamoto Musashi, the heroic Princess Lingzhao led the Northern Expedition Army, like a tiger descending from the mountains, making unstoppable progress all the way.

Under the crushing force of thunder and with indestructible morale, the Northern Expedition Corps quickly conquered large tracts of land in Shanyin Road and Shanyang Road.

Most of the foreign counties that had originally held out in these areas chose to surrender after witnessing the might of the Northern Expedition Corps and became part of the Heaven and Earth Federation.

As for the few forces that chose to declare war, they were either annihilated under the iron hoof of the Northern Expedition Corps or beheaded by the leaders of the samurai guards, without exception.

In just less than half a month, the Northern Expedition Army had captured the edge of the Younei area near Kyoto.

The Iwami Division had already reached Tango County, the northernmost end of the Sanyo Road, while the Osumi Division had reached Harima County, the northernmost end of the Sanyo Road.

The rapid advance of these two major divisions not only demonstrated the strength of the Northern Expedition Corps, but also laid a solid foundation for the further conquest of the Heaven and Earth Federation.

At this point, the entire Shanyin Road and Shanyang Road have been conquered, and this vast land has officially been incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Heaven and Earth Federation.

For Princess Lingzhao, this was not only a recognition of her bravery and fearlessness, but also a recognition of the powerful combat effectiveness of the Northern Expedition Corps under her leadership.

With the incorporation of Shanyin Road and Shanyang Road, Wei Xiaobao's territory value increased significantly, reaching an astonishing point, a little more than before.

The Northern Expedition Corps was now strong and in high spirits. In the process of conquering Shanyin Road and Shanyang Road, they won over surrendered soldiers along the way, which not only expanded their sphere of influence, but also strengthened their strength.

Today, the total strength of the Northern Dynasty Legion has reached 200,000, making it a powerful force that cannot be ignored.

As the main force of the Northern Expedition, the Iwami Division and the Osumi Division showed extraordinary combat effectiveness in the battle. In order to better adapt to the needs of future wars, the two major divisions were expanded into ten 10,000-man divisions. This not only improved their combat capabilities, but also made them more deterrent on the battlefield.

Today is a day worth remembering. The Northern Expedition Army has assembled and plans to attack Shezhou in the Kinai region.

At the same time, today is also an important moment when the Northern Expedition Corps' northern and southern divisions will meet at Osaka Castle in Setsu County.

Early in the morning, the two cavalry regiments of the Iwami Regiment marched from Tango County from north to south with tremendous force.

The two cavalry regiments had a total of 2 cavalrymen. They rode on war horses, held sabers in their hands, and galloped towards Shezhou in a mighty manner.

After feeling this powerful momentum, the counties and cities along the way chose to open their cities and surrender. No city dared to resist.

By noon, the vanguard cavalry of the Iwami Division had successfully arrived outside Osaka Castle, preparing for the arrival of the subsequent army.

At the same time, the Osumi Division was not to be outdone and they set out by sea one day in advance.

At 505 o'clock in the morning, the main force of the Osumi Division, the Osumi Regiment, boarded the treasure ship No. , braved the rough sea, and finally successfully landed on the beach near Osaka Castle.

They quickly assembled and joined forces with the Iwami Division that had arrived earlier, preparing to attack Osaka Castle.

Princess Ling Zhao and Miyamoto Musashi also personally led the troops in this important battle.

They brought with them the staff officers of the Northern Expedition Army and the samurai guard corps that had been expanded into a regiment, and set out from Harima County in Sanyo Road to the east under the escort of the 4th Regiment of the Iwami Brigade of the Tenchi Army.

There were a total of five to six thousand people in this group. They were well-equipped and marched towards Osaka Castle in Setsu with great momentum.

Osaka Castle, as an important historical city in Japan, has been carrying rich historical and cultural connotations since ancient times. This city was once the base of the Toyotomi family and witnessed countless heroic battles and magnificent historical moments.

In 1614, the 19th year of Keicho, Osaka Castle became the focus of war.

At that time, the Tokugawa family sent out 200,000 troops to surround Osaka Castle.

The Toyotomi clan held the city with a 100,000-strong garrison, relying on the three solid walls and four towering castle towers of Osaka Castle to stubbornly resist the fierce attack of the Tokugawa army.

The battle lasted for half a year. Although the Tokugawa army had strong manpower, it was still unable to capture Osaka Castle.

In the end, the two sides ended the war through peace talks, which is the famous "Winter Battle" in history.

After this battle, although the Tokugawa family won the victory, they also paid a heavy price.

In order to weaken the defensive power of Osaka Castle, the Tokugawa family decided to demolish the three walls and the castle tower of Osaka Castle.

This decision not only caused Osaka Castle to lose its former grandeur, but also marked the end of the three-hundred-year-long Warring States Period in Japanese history.

The Warring States Period (1467-1615) was a period of turmoil and change in the history of Japan, with wars constantly breaking out among the major ethnic groups for territory and power.

As the base of the Toyotomi family, Osaka Castle naturally became one of the focal points of this historical drama. However, with the end of the "Winter Campaign", Japan also entered the Tokugawa Shogunate rule that lasted for more than 200 years.

After the "Winter Campaign", although Osaka Castle lost its former glory, it did not disappear in the long river of history.

On the contrary, in 1635, the Tokugawa family decided to rebuild this famous castle in order to strengthen their rule over Osaka. Today's Osaka Castle has gradually developed on the basis of the reconstruction during this period.
