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

This battle was different from previous ones. In the past, it was an overall battle, but this time it was an enemy army of 10,000 Tokugawa family, scattered deep in the mountains over thousands of square kilometers, covering a large area and with many strongholds.

Our military expedition this time is a joint action of the Tenchi Army, the Ishikawa Family Army and the Royal Guards.

Therefore, Wei Xiaobao established a front-line command and appointed Tang Li, Ishikawa Dashan and Koushui Huangji from the 4th Regiment as members of the front-line command, with Tang Li as the team leader.

The Tiandi Army's two infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, 300 princess guards and 2000 Ishikawa family troops were the front-line combat troops.

Wei Xiaobao, Princess Lingzhao and Ishikawa Taro followed closely behind with the Tiandi Army Cavalry Battalion and 8000 Ishikawa family troops as their base camp.

When the front-line troops of 3800 men were five miles ahead of the Shiyu Mountains, scouts came to report that a Tokugawa army checkpoint was discovered at a major intersection three miles ahead, along with a small group of about a hundred enemy troops.

Three miles ahead, before entering the mountain, was a hilly area. To prevent the enemy from escaping and reporting, Tang Li ordered the 4st Company of the st Battalion of the th Regiment of the Tianjun Army to make a roundabout encirclement, while the nd Company advanced in stealth. After the st Company arrived in place, they launched an attack together and wiped out the group of devils.

Half an hour later, three sky rockets blasted into the sky.

The second company, which had been lurking 300 meters from the enemy post, immediately stood up, and the bugler blew the charge:

"Drip...tick-tick-tick...tick-tick-tick..."

The bugle was designed by Wei Xiaobao and custom-made for the army by the Ministry of Industry.

The sound of the horn was an order, and the soldiers of the second company rushed forward with Zhuge crossbows in hand.

The sound of military bugles and the shouts of charge... alarmed the Japanese at the checkpoint.

These devils had never been to the battlefield. They were used to a life of luxury. They could bully civilians at ordinary times, but they had never seen such a murderous battlefield charge. Their legs were trembling, their whole bodies were shaking, and the devils were confused and didn't know what to do.

When the second company rushed to 150 meters away from the enemy, the soldiers slowed down and fired at the Japanese with Zhuge crossbows.

The Japanese soldiers standing in front were shot by arrows one after another, and fell to the ground wailing and rolling around...

The other Japanese soldiers also reacted and realized that they were encountering an attacking enemy.

I don’t know which devil shouted: “You give it to me (跑げろ!)”

"You give it to me..."

"You give it to me..."

The sounds of the Japs fleeing came one after another. The group of Japs immediately ran towards the mountains, regretting that their parents had not given them two more legs.

Before they had run 200 meters, a volley of crossbow arrows came from behind, and the fastest runner fell to the ground, calling for his mother in pain.

When the Japanese saw the enemy troops in front and behind, they were so scared that they dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

At this point, the first battle in Shiyu Mountains lasted one hour and ended with 21 enemies killed, 79 captured, and no casualties.

Captain Tang looked at the combat record with satisfaction, signed it, and handed it to Ishikawa Daishan beside him.

Ishikawa Daishan couldn't understand Chinese, so he handed the machine to Koushui Huangji, who translated it into Japanese for Ishikawa Daishan. Ishikawa Daishan was shocked. Killing one hundred enemies with zero casualties was unprecedented in the era of cold weapons.

No wonder Taro Ishikawa said that with Princess Armada and the Heaven and Earth Federation, the Ishikawa family would have no choice but to take off.

Ishikawa Daisan sent people to bury the dead bodies of the Tokugawa family, sent a team of 100 people to escort the captives back to the base camp, and sent another team of 100 people to station at this outpost.

The troops continued to advance.

After walking less than three miles, we arrived at the foot of Shiyu Mountain.

Ahead of the road was a river valley between two mountains. On the hillsides on both sides of the road, there were obvious military fortresses.

Captain Tang looked through a telescope and saw seven arrow towers built on each side of the mountainside 30 meters above the river valley.

Drool Yellow Machine also saw the arrow towers and said to Tang Li: "Captain Tang, let us send our guards. I promise to take down these arrow towers."

Tang Li looked at the saliva and said, "Okay, but you have to wait for the artillery camp to fire a round before you go up."

"Hey, I promise to complete the task." Doushui replied happily.

Ever since Wei Xiaobao replaced the princess's guard with the same equipment as the Tiandi Army, Koushui felt that he was the most elite troop in the whole of Japan. Today he finally had the opportunity to try his hand at war. He was very excited and immediately organized his 300-man guard to rush forward, ready to charge as soon as the shelling stopped.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Twelve 12mm Krupp cannons fired, and after they bombarded one side of the mountainside, none of the wooden arrow towers were intact. Some collapsed or were in ruins.

"Yaji Gege Ge (Go)..."

"Yaji Gege Ge (Go)..."

The saliva-shui Huangji pulled out the fine steel Tang sword and shouted "Charge" with all his might.

It was time for the princess' guards to show their loyalty to the emperor and the princess, and the 300 men rushed forward in a swarm.

Commander Wei had explained the way the Tiandi Army would fight. They could use artillery fire instead of charging, and they could attack from a distance instead of fighting at close range. The ability of a general was to defeat the enemy while reducing or eliminating casualties.

Seeing this group of soldiers of the Princess Guard rushing around blindly, Tang Li was worried. If there were any casualties in an attack of this level, they would be scolded by Commander Wei.

Fortunately, there was not a single Japanese soldier standing after that round of shelling, otherwise such a reckless charge would inevitably result in casualties.

Saliva led the guards to the arrow tower but encountered no resistance.

The defenders of the Tokugawa army were lying on the ground in a mess, and some of them were not dead yet, still groaning on the ground.

As a samurai, Koushui rushed forward desperately just to finish off the dying enemy. He felt that this went against the spirit of Bushido and was too undignified for a samurai.

I'll have to tell Captain Tang about this when I get back. Next time, don't fire cannons when charging, the warriors will just have to fight each other.

What Saliva didn't know was that in Captain Tang's heart, there would be no next time.

Without capturing any prisoners, they brought back a cart of broken blades. The soldiers of the Princess's Guard returned to the camp in dismay.

It is already late today, and the front-line troops have set up camp at the mouth of the river valley at the foot of Shiyu Mountain.

Wei Xiaobao’s base camp is about thirty miles away from the front camp, and it is still a plain area.

In the camp, Wei Xiaobao was using his precious alchemy furnace to stew ginseng chicken soup.

"Brother Xiaobao, people talk about being addicted to drinking and smoking snuff, but they have never seen someone as addicted to drinking ginseng chicken soup as you are. Why do you stew ginseng chicken soup every day?" Princess Lingzhao asked in confusion.

"Ginseng chicken soup can prolong life for mortals, and enhance strength for martial artists. I want your sister Shuang'er to develop unparalleled martial arts after drinking it, and I want you to drink it to live like a turtle for a thousand years." Wei Xiaobao said.

"You only have a thousand-year life. I want to learn peerless martial arts from Sister Shuang'er!" said Princess Lingzhao.

It's a good thing that Princess Lingzhao wants to learn martial arts, but learning martial arts depends on whether you have the talent. Don't be like Wei Xiaobao, who is a rotten body with no support.

"Smart Sky Eye" is open!

Wei Xiaobao scanned Princess Lingzhao.

The meridians were unobstructed, clear and full, which was exactly the opposite of his own. Although Wei Xiaobao didn't understand what kind of qualifications were good, he compared it with his own meridians, that is, Ling Zhao's meridians were in the sky, and his own were underground.

What a tragic fate!
