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

Other larger caliber cannons such as 110mm and 175mm were aimed at their respective predetermined bombing targets, quietly waiting for the order for the general attack to be issued.

Once the order is given, thousands of cannons spanning more than two hundred years will roar at the same time, jointly playing a heart-stirring symphony of war.

On the vast battlefield, the deafening sound of the Tokugawa army's trumpets broke the quiet afternoon. As the sound faded, a general rode out of the army alone, rushing towards the center of the battle between the two armies with great momentum. He was dressed in silver armor, with a burly figure and extremely powerful, like a god of war descending to earth.

He shouted loudly: "I am Zuo Teng Kuangyong, the silver-armored general under the command of General Fuyi. Do you dare to fight me?" This challenge echoed on the battlefield, causing a stir.

At this time, Yang Lin stood aside and witnessed all this. He smiled slightly, turned around and asked Miyamoto Musashi beside him: "Senior, is this a challenge?"

Miyamoto Musashi nodded and replied, "It is a challenge, but in Japan, we call it a duel. The result of a duel has a crucial impact on the morale of both sides. If you win, the morale will be greatly boosted; if you lose, the morale will be frustrated."

Hearing this, Brigade Commander Xiao You interrupted and said, "Senior, if this Silver-Armored General died, wouldn't the enemy's morale be greatly dampened?" Miyamoto Musashi nodded and confirmed his opinion.

A sly look flashed in Xiao You's eyes. As he spoke, he raised the Mauser rifle in his hand and aimed at the silver-armored general in the distance. He held his breath and concentrated, gently pulling the trigger.

There was a loud bang of a gunshot, and the silver-armored general Zuo Teng Kuangyong fell to the ground. He was shot right in the middle of his eyebrows and died instantly.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Tiandi Army were overjoyed and cheered. They cheered for their comrades and cheered for this sudden victory.

The Tokugawa army was bewildered, they had no idea what was going on. It was incredible that someone could kill them with one strike at such a long distance.

The situation on the battlefield changed subtly because of this shot. The morale of the Tenchi Army was high, while the Tokugawa Army fell into a brief chaos. They were caught off guard by this sudden attack, and their hearts were filled with confusion and fear.

"Brother, what kind of magic did the enemy use? Even with a powerful crossbow, it is impossible to shoot so far." Tokugawa Koshin frowned and asked Tokugawa Koyasu beside him in confusion, revealing deep confusion and doubt in his words.

Tokugawa Koyasu looked at the looming enemy figures in the distance and couldn't help but sigh: "This coalition army really exudes a weird atmosphere everywhere." His words were full of confusion and amazement.

Looking carefully at the enemy soldiers, Tokugawa Koyasu couldn't help but become even more confused.

They were not wearing armor, nor were there any generals wearing armor. All of them were dressed in uniform, with steel helmets, green military uniforms, belts around their waists, suede shoes, and leg bandages, looking energetic. Some held a strange-looking "fire gun" or a crossbow in their hands, some had broadswords hanging from their waists, and some wore "daggers" (bayonets). Even more peculiar was that everyone had a cloth bag on their waists, which contained five "cylindrical bottles" (grenades).

In all his years of fighting, Tokugawa Koyasu had never seen such attire. When he was young, he had traveled to China to plunder, but he had never seen soldiers dressed like this. This strangeness puzzled him.

The news of Zuo Teng Kuangyong's death quickly spread among the Tokugawa army, and the soldiers talked about it. They couldn't believe their eyes, and couldn't accept this cruel fact. In their hearts, Zuo Teng Kuangyong was a brave and skilled general, and his death undoubtedly brought a huge shock to the entire army.

Everyone gathered together and whispered about the mysterious equipment of the enemy. The fire and smoke from the muskets were shocking; the grenades in the bags might bring them a fatal blow at any time. Everyone's face was filled with fear and worry. This battle seemed to be more bizarre and difficult than any other time before.

"What are those cylindrical bottles?" someone asked.

"I don't know. I've never seen such a weapon." Another person shook his head and replied.

"And that musket has such a long range and such great power, it's simply incredible." Someone else exclaimed.

Tokugawa Koyasu listened to everyone's discussion, and his heart was also in turmoil. He understood that this battle was different from the previous ones, and they had to face an enemy full of unknown and strange forces. But no matter what, they could not retreat, and had to bravely face this decisive battle that was related to the fate of the Tokugawa shogunate.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and said loudly: "Soldiers, I know that you are full of doubts and fears now. But please believe that we are warriors and samurai, and we must bravely face the difficulties and challenges before us. Let us unite closely to face this strange enemy together and defeat them with our courage and wisdom!"

With the encouragement of Tokugawa Koyasu, the soldiers' emotions gradually stabilized. They knew that the most important thing now was to unite as one to face this unknown battle together. Only in this way could they win in this strange war.

In order to boost morale, Tokugawa Koyasu decided to send another powerful silver-armored general to confront the enemy. However, the situation did not turn around as he wished, and the silver-armored general's fate was no different from that of Teng Kuangyong. He clearly saw that the "fire gun" that the opponent relied on was the culprit that led to our army's repeated defeats.

This so-called "fire gun" has a long range and high accuracy, which is truly amazing. No wonder our army is restricted everywhere under the fire suppression of the Tiandi coalition forces and cannot exert its own combat effectiveness.

But although the fire gun was powerful, its shortcomings were also obvious. The amount of ammunition that could be fired in one minute was limited, and once the barrel overheated, there was a risk of explosion. On the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops confronted each other, the real battle that could determine victory or defeat was the actual fighting. On such a battlefield, the fire gun was like a fire stick, unable to exert its due power.

After careful consideration, Tokugawa Koyasu made a decisive decision. He summoned the cavalry general to his tent and ordered 100,000 light and heavy cavalry to charge together! He wanted to see whether the firepower of the musket was stronger or the cavalry's saber was sharper.

The cavalry general took the order and left. In the central camp of the Tokugawa army, the drums beat to the sky, and the morale was greatly boosted. This exciting drumbeat seemed to cheer for the cavalry who were about to charge.
