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

At five o'clock the next morning, more than 1,600 soldiers had assembled on the parade ground of the Longyazhai military camp.

It is more than eighty miles from Longya Village to the Japanese base camp outside Shuri Castle, half of which is mountain road. If you set out at five in the morning, you can arrive at five in the afternoon.

Due to the forced march, no red cannon or tiger-mounted cannon were brought with them. Each soldier was equipped with his own musket or cold weapon.

Each of the selected members of the grenadiers team had five net bags on their waists, which were filled with white phosphorus bombs, five for each person. The battalion commander Xiao You also served as the captain of the grenadiers team.

Wei Xiaobao gave Xiao You instructions on how to carry white phosphorus bombs. Xiao You passed them on to each team member, arranged some soldiers to assist, and supervised and checked the implementation at any time.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the troops of Longyazhai arrived five miles away from the Japanese base camp to rest and wait.

Yang Lin personally took the scouts to investigate the enemy situation.

Wei Xiaobao had been walking all day and his waist and legs were sore, so he sat there and let Shuang'er massage him.

Shuang'er looked at Wei Xiaobao's body aching and said distressedly, "My husband, I told you last night that we had to march quickly today and it would be very tiring. I told you not to do that, but you insisted on doing that. Now you can't get up!"

"Hehe, Shuang'er, your husband is still full of energy! If you don't believe me, let's do that again!" Wei Xiaobao said with a wicked smile.

"Pfft!" Shuang'er couldn't help laughing and said, "You are full of energy. Then how did you fake your death last time?"

"Hehe, that was an accident. I had an allergic reaction from drinking too much turtle blood!" Wei Xiaobao said a little embarrassedly after Shuang'er pointed out his weakness.

"Hehe..." Shuang'er laughed out loud.

Shuang'er suddenly remembered something and asked, "Husband, I wanted to ask you a few days ago, when did you learn Japanese?"

I have never heard my husband speak Japanese before, and he speaks it so fluently. This question has been in Shuang'er's mind for several days.

"Oh, I said that it was the lightning that gave me an epiphany, do you believe it?" Wei Xiaobao stared at Shuang'er and said.

In fact, Wei Xiaobao learned Japanese as an elective course in college in his previous life. But he couldn't tell Shuang'er about this.

Shuang'er looked at Wei Xiaobao with a questioning look on her face and said nothing.

Shuang'er didn't say she didn't believe in ghosts and supernatural powers, but she had pretended to be a ghost and scared people in the bank before, and she had never seen a real ghost come out to cause trouble.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Shuang'er's expression and realized that it was not a good idea to fool Shuang'er by saying she would be struck by lightning, so he continued to fool her:

"Haha, I lied to you. I was studying with Xiao Xuanzi in the palace, and the teacher in the palace taught me."

"Oh!" No wonder my husband spoke so well, it turned out that he was taught by the emperor's personal teacher. Shuang'er felt relieved.

Women with big breasts are stupid and easy to fool!

Before he knew it, an hour had passed and Yang Lin came back after scouting the enemy situation.

"Master, there are indeed only more than 3000 wounded soldiers in the Japanese base camp. Apart from the wounded, there are only cooks and medical soldiers. Except for five or six gatekeepers standing guard at the front and rear gates of the camp, there is not even a patrol officer..." Yang Lin reported the situation he had discovered one by one.

"Haha, the Japanese troops are stretched to the limit and their defenses are so lax. It seems like God is helping me!" Wei Xiaobao said happily.

Of course, Wei Xiaobao also knew that Tokugawa Kosato had transferred all his combat forces to Shuri Castle, so there certainly wouldn't be too many Japanese devils in the base camp.

The reason for choosing to attack at night was that they were worried that some of the enemy would slip through the net and run into Shuri Castle to get reinforcements. The cavalry could reach the castle in just one hour, a distance of fifty miles. However, it was dark at night, and in this era when people could not even get enough food, not only people but also horses had night blindness. Therefore, people of this era did not go out at night, as there were ghosts who stole the road at night, and those ghosts had night blindness and could not see.

Wei Xiaobao then arranged a battle order: "Order the troops to eat now, eat dry food, and do not light a fire. Half an hour later, surround the Japanese army camp before dark. Set up checkpoints at all intersections to prevent the Japanese soldiers from reporting to Shuri Castle..."

It was already completely dark. The army of Longcui Village was divided into two groups, surrounding the gates of the enemy's front and rear camps respectively. Hundreds of archers drew their bows and waited, and swordsmen and axemen stood on both sides.

At the main gate of the front camp, Su You, with a hundred grenadiers and more than three hundred soldiers from the first battalion, stood behind Wei Xiaobao, ready to charge.

Second Battalion Commander Zhang Dahu led the second battalion to block the front camp gate.

At the rear gate of the rear camp, Yang Lin and the third battalion commander Li Dayong were on standby.

More than one hundred members of the special forces company were scattered at various intersections, setting up checkpoints and waiting.

Ten p.m

"rush"!

At Wei Xiaobao's command, torches at the front and back gates lit up. Shuang'er, holding the Biqing sword, took the brunt of the attack and jumped over the gate. The five Japanese guarding the gate were beheaded before they could react. Then Xiao You arrived with the first battalion and the grenadiers. Shuang'er opened the gate, and all the soldiers rushed into the Japanese camp.

Wei Xiaobao also followed the team with his extremely sharp dagger.

At this moment, the wounded Japanese soldiers were lying on beds in the barracks. The barracks were made of logs. It was summer now, and the doors and windows were wide open.

According to the prior arrangement, each grenadier was followed by three swordsmen, and each team consisted of two grenadiers and six swordsmen.

As soon as the 50 teams entered the military camp, they dispersed and ran towards different barracks.

In less than ten seconds, the first white phosphorus bomb exploded, followed by explosions and flames shooting into the sky.

The wounded soldiers who were close to the front door were lying on their beds, not knowing what had happened, and went to see their Amaterasu.

The lightly wounded soldiers near the rear camp heard the explosion in the front camp, and quickly picked up their weapons and went out to watch. While they were still in a daze, a black shadow slightly larger than a fist landed at their feet.

There was a loud bang, and people flew into the fire, with ghosts crying and wolves howling...

Then the roof was blown off and flames shot into the sky.

In less than five minutes, all the barracks were engulfed in flames, and people dancing in the fire could be seen everywhere. The characteristic of white phosphorus bombs is that the white phosphorus that scatters from the explosion will burn if it sticks to the body, and will burn the flesh if it sticks to the flesh. It cannot be extinguished, and screams of agony can be heard everywhere.

Wei Xiaobao had already instructed that if one saw a fire, one should not get close to the Japanese soldiers, lest the white phosphorus stick to the body and burn them.

Smelling the peculiar smell of the burning Japanese bodies, hearing their desperate screams, and seeing their struggles in the fire should have been happy things, but Wei Xiaobao, who was experiencing war for the first time, couldn't help but feel his stomach churning and vomited with a "wow".

Don't say that Wei Xiaobao is a loser. There are many soldiers in the battalion who are vomiting like him. Xiao You, who is used to life and death, raised his whip and whipped these vomiting soldiers, forcing them to fight quickly.

Fortunately, most of the wounded Japanese soldiers died from the white phosphorus bombs. Only a very small number were not harmed by the white phosphorus bombs, but they had no intention of fighting and dragged their injured bodies towards the back gate.

At the back door, muskets and arrows were waiting for the fleeing wounded soldiers.

Fifteen minutes after the attack was launched, there was not a single Japanese soldier standing in the entire camp.
