C694 To enlist troops in the Osaka. (1/2)
The battle of Osaka had now reached the point of 'you hit me, I hit you'. In Osaka Bay, the Ryukyu Navy's artillery had completely destroyed all of the Ship Closure. On the surface of the sea, there were wooden planks and sailors' corpses.
However, on the land, the new army of the Tokugawa, under Matsudaira Katamori's lead, crazily started attacking the new army of the Southwest Allied Army.
Matsudaira Katamori did not dare to look back at the battle in the Gulf, much less the chaotic Osaka City.
”Speed up... Army Speed... ”Only the more complete our victory, the more benefits we can reap at the negotiating table...”
After Tokugawa Yoshinobu passed through the chaos at the beginning, he finally understood Matsudaira Katamori's intentions. He knew that once Xiao Letian's army appeared, the Tokugawa would no longer be able to win this battle. If they couldn't get what they wanted on the battlefield, they would have to get it from the negotiating table. In any case, with the Western Powers's interference, Xiao Letian couldn't swallow up Japan.
Tokugawa Yoshinobu who had understood this wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and calmly said to his ninja: ”Pass down my orders, the authority of the new army is entirely entrusted to Matsudaira Katamori, I believe his judgement is correct …”
”Osaka City stop resisting, let Xiao Letian's army in …”
”General!” The surrounding warriors fell to their knees, the internal affairs of the river were full of tears, ”No …” General, we have seen the dawn of hope. Why? Why did such a divine punishment suddenly appear in the sky?! ”
”We want to fight, we need to rely on the Osaka City to defend against the sea's attacks, we can defend! Master General, the defenses to the south of Osaka City are still in good condition. Furthermore, the sky is about to turn dark.
Countless warriors were crying their hearts out to the general, but all they got in return was Tokugawa Yoshinobu shaking his head and sighing, ”Look at the sea, what is it? It wasn't a boat at all, but a lot of cannons! Our twelve field gun s can suppress the allied army, but what about Xiao Letian? The number of cannons on his flagship is no less than forty! ”
”What kind of firepower is this!?” How can we defend against flesh and blood? ”I'll leave the rest to the civil servants …” The general closed his eyes in pain. If I were to fill the Heaven's Tower with firewood and pour vegetable oil, I would rather die than become Xiao Letian's captive! ”
”No …” ”Sob, sob, sob …” The Heaven's Tower was filled with cries, but the general had already given up. ”Go, carry out the order, whoever disobeys shall be expelled from the Mu Clan!”
With such a punishment out, no one dared to go against it. Very quickly, the white flag started to float inside the Osaka City, and Xiao Letian's army started to cheer ”Entering the city … We will enter the city! ”
The battleship started to adjust its posture, the Osaka City's pier stopped resisting, and all soldiers disarmed, waiting for the new army to come ashore. As the boots hit the bridge, the Japanese soldier's eyelids jumped with a dull thud.
Watching the new army, that was armed to the teeth, swarm over from the platform, at that moment, all the Japanese felt an undefeatable feeling in their hearts.
He wore shiny leather boots and a lacquered hat, his yellow-brown military belt was hung with grenades and bullets, his long Mauser's rifle s had bayonets shining with a cold light, his blue military uniform was like an endless tide that poured into the Osaka City.
Since ancient times, uniformed soldiers could give off a strong sense of visual conflict, not to mention Xiao Letian, a transcender. New Army uniforms were now based on the characteristics of later generations of German and American uniforms, with the emphasis on waist retracting, collars flipping, pressing and straightening … If ordinary people were to wear this set of military uniform, their temperament would have a noticeable change.
It did not have the soft feeling of the common people, but the soldiers wanted to be sharper and sharper.
The cuffs and lapels, as well as the epaulettes, were all embroidered with golden silk. Even the senior military officer had used precious golden silk threads, and even his hat and cap were adorned with glittering golden crests.
Almost all of them had a few small gold and silver military medals in front of their chest. These kind of veterans were the guarantee of morale in the crowd, as a veteran's words were passed down through the body, and even the ten new recruits around him would be affected by him.
Xiao Letian's new army, oh, had now changed its name to become a Marine Corps. This army had imbued too much of the experience of the Special Forces of the later generation.
Even the Mu Clan soldiers didn't know what was going on. Against such a large crowd of people, the two groups of soldiers were actually retreating slowly. In the end, they could even hear familiar accents coming from their mouths.
”Board load!” I, Yepingtai, am back … Osaka City, today, I am the conqueror! ”
”I am Bing Tai Lang!” I am the lowly commoner that big names call me, but today, I also have my own name. My character is Xiao, my name is Xiao Bingtailang … ”Board load!”
