The sound of gunshots echoed wildly, drifting far away in the wind in the silent night. Xiao Letian's heart suddenly tightened while he was inspecting the battlefield, and his back was suddenly soaked with sweat.
"Send someone to check quickly, don't blow up the camp..."
Since ancient times, commanders are not afraid of powerful enemies but civil strife, and bombing a camp is the most terrifying disaster. Especially after a day of bloody battles, people's emotions suddenly relax from the high tension, and people's spirits are on the verge of abnormality.
In a day of blood and fire, all you can see is death, and all your ears can hear is wailing. The stakes are life and death. Coupled with the day of hunger and thirst, people are extremely anxious. Once an accident occurs at this time, it will cause a chain reaction. .
"There are gunshots, there are gunshots. Is Xiao Letian going to massacre the city? He wants to kill all our Tokugawa troops. Run away..."
"It's the gunshots coming from the north of our coalition... It's broken. Xiao Letian has betrayed us. They have joined forces with the Tokugawa family. They want to outflank us at night. They want to massacre the camp..."
The Tokugawa Army and the Southwest Allied Army were all in chaos. People were running around the fire. In the dark night, the bonfire could only illuminate a small area. The surrounding darkness surrounded it like a substance. The soldiers looked at the surroundings in horror. It was dark, as if a few evil ghosts could jump out of it at any time.
The uneasy mood soon triggered a chaos. Maybe it was just that the fleeing person accidentally stepped on your foot, but the terrifying atmosphere at the scene will make you think that you are attacked by the enemy, and you will subconsciously slash with a knife. go.
When the bloody smell and screams of death began to spread, the camp roar, commonly known as the camp bombing, occurred.
At this moment, everyone turned into wild beasts, their spears thrust out unconsciously in the darkness, the samurai were waving their swords desperately like madmen, everyone's eyes were red and they had no idea who they were fighting.
"Disperse, disperse the two armies... As long as the Tokugawa family and the Southwest Allied Forces do not come into contact, and as long as they cannot see the armor and military flags of the enemy, the bombing of the camp can be controlled."
Under the command of Xiao Letian, the new army began to shrink its position. Instead of blindly entering the darkness to quell the chaos, they guarded the isolation zone between the two armies. Under the protection of the barbed wire, they calmly observed the two groups of lunatics fighting each other. Massacre.
It cannot be said that Xiao Letian is cruel, but his response now is the most correct. People who lived under the glory of industrial civilization in their previous lives cannot understand the impact of night on the ancients. If you have been a travel companion, you will really be in the uninhabited mountains and dense forests. If you have ever stayed in a camp, you will know what true darkness is.
You can't see your fingers, and it's hard to tell the direction. If there is any movement in the grass and shrubs, you will think that a poisonous snake or beast is coming. If you are not careful, you will miss it. There are no smooth playgrounds and roads in the wilderness.
The ancients were even more miserable. Due to severe malnutrition, many soldiers had night blindness. At night, they could not see anything clearly even with some starlight and moonlight. Therefore, generals throughout the ages have tried their best to avoid night battles.
Xiao Letian's eyes widened as he stared at the chaotic shouts of killing around him. Songping Rongbao's hands were sweating anxiously: "Prime Minister, we can't continue to look like this. Please send troops to quell the chaos, otherwise... otherwise the entire camp will be destroyed." "
Xiao Letian raised his hand to signal him to shut up, "You have also led troops. You know the current situation better than me. I only have three thousand marines in my hands. How can I control this battlefield? What they need now is organizational structure. The establishment needs to be restored immediately, and then there is the fire.”
"Lord Matsudaira, please take your guards back to your camp immediately. I don't ask you to make a quick victory. I just ask you to collect the defeated troops. Don't expect all the soldiers to calm down at once. I just ask you to Let the people around you calm down, and it will expand like a snowball. As long as you can get a thousand people to return to the establishment, then bombing the camp will not be terrible..."
"Lord Long, immediately ask Osaka City to dispatch high-level generals and lead the city's defenders into the battlefield as a team of a hundred people. Let me get used to those lunatics one by one..."
Songping Rongbao and Long Ye quickly left the isolation zone with orders. After a while, Songping Rongbao rushed to a fire with more than a dozen personal guards. He finally woke up more than a dozen people with punches and kicks. Red-eyed soldier.
"Baga, see clearly who I am. I am Songping Rongbao. I order you to calm down now. We are behind me and work with me to quell Yingxiao..."
The beaten soldiers finally woke up. Although they didn't know Lord Matsudaira, they could distinguish the general's armor clearly. At that moment, it was like a child who had found his backbone, and tears fell down.
After calming down one fire and moving on to the next, he had to be careful on the way to watch out for attacks from lunatics in the dark. It snowballed little by little, and soon Matsudaira Yongho had more than 500 calm soldiers under his command.
Five hundred people roared in unison, which quickly shook the surrounding area, "Stop, stop it, everyone put down their weapons, no one will kill you, everything is fine here... Damn it, you actually dare to swing a knife, wake him up." .”
When Matsudaira Yoshiho gradually controlled the situation, Osaka Castle's big bosses such as Okouchi Masashiro, Sakai Tadazumi, Tachibana Tanekyo... also led their soldiers out of the city one after another, like pieces of sticky cake rolled into a pile of beans, and soon They took away a large number of those chaotic soldiers.
The Tokugawa New Army gradually calmed down, and the Southwest Allied Forces on the opposite side of the isolation zone had a relatively small number, and Saigo Takamori and Yamagata Aritomo were among them, so order was restored not too slowly, within two and a half hours. Then the roar of the bombing of the camp gradually subsided.
Xiao Letian said to his generals, "You remember, the army depends on its organization. If you want to have combat effectiveness and military discipline, you must ensure that the organization of the army is not chaotic..."
"Organization is very simple to put it bluntly. It means that your soldiers can find the squad leader as soon as possible, and the squad leader can find the platoon leader as soon as possible and so on..."
"Human beings are very herd-like, and the power of habit is very powerful. A soldier can only unleash the most powerful combat effectiveness with the cooperation of his familiar comrades and the leadership of a familiar commander. The establishment is to ensure that every soldier can fight in the chaos. Find everything you are familiar with in battlefields and emergencies.”
"Hey... This thing is also my fault. It was because I hid some selfish motives before. After the bloody battle, I didn't let them reestablish themselves in time. I was also afraid that their restoration would not be conducive to our control. But I didn't expect... I didn't expect that... It will blow up the camp.”
"Damn it, check it out for me. I want to know who shot and robbed... I have obviously confiscated all their bullets. Who hid this."
Yes, the New Army had taken away all the gunpowder and bullets from both armies before dinner in the evening. This was what they were afraid of, but whatever they were afraid of, they got what they wanted.
The best way to quell the roar of the camp is to let the soldiers see the officers as soon as possible, preferably to see the officers they are familiar with and convinced by, let the power of habit overcome fear, and let the calmness of the group suppress the madness. It is precisely because of Xiao Letian's proper response that this The camp bombing incident subsided in just over two hours.
It was already past three o'clock in the morning. When order returned to calm, the Marines and the original defenders of Osaka Castle began to provide large amounts of firewood and kerosene to both sides, and piles of larger and brighter bonfires were lit. , the warmth and sense of security brought by the fire made the soldiers' emotions more stable.
"I will tell you one word, demolish them. There are many houses in Osaka Castle Town. Japanese houses are not all made of wooden boards. I demolished them all and sent them to be burned. I must ensure that the battlefield is bright all night long."
Now the Osaka Castle Town was in trouble. Houses were pushed down one by one, planks and logs were sent to the battlefield, and piles of bonfires burned blazingly into the sky. This time, the fear brought by the black shadow was finally put to rest. offset.
The Southwest Allied Forces and the Tokugawa New Army took advantage of the fire to reorganize the army's command system. The samurai were assigned to each team. One night was enough for them to get familiar with each other.
Just when Xiao Letian was busy with his feet off the ground, Master Long suddenly picked up a skinny monkey-like Japanese Ashigaru and threw it in front of the Prime Minister: "Prime Minister, this guy knows who fired the gun. The gunshot was fired by Sakamoto Ryoma-sama... Ryoma-sama had just been ambushed, and his life or death is unknown."
"Ah." Xiao Letian never expected to hear such shocking news. "Have you found the person? Send someone to chase him quickly."
"General Luo Huo has led three companies to chase north in person. General Sima Yun is gathering troops. In ten minutes, four companies will fan out and sweep north... Master Longma will definitely be found."
Xiao Letian clenched his fists tightly, biting his lip with his teeth, circling around like a trapped animal. In the evening, he knew that Takasugi Shinsaku had been killed in the battle, and now Ryoma-kun was also attacked. Why did he lose all the potential seeds he was optimistic about? Let the Japanese kill them all themselves.
It is not easy for this small and violent country to produce a few smart strategists who know how to advance and retreat. Xiao Letian's big plan cannot do without these people.
Especially Ryoma Sakamoto, who is the first prime minister of Japan that Xiao Letian will support. This is the first pro-China politician he has trained in Japan.
What's more, Sakamoto Ryoma and Xiao Letian have a good personal relationship. It's a relationship where blood is thicker than water. Ryoma-kun's blood can flow through Xiao Letian's blood.
"Long Majun, is this year really destined to be a critical moment in your life? In the previous parallel world, you died in this winter. Now that I, Xiao Letian, am here, can't I still change your destiny?"
"Not only can it not change, but it will make you die early in the summer. How powerful is the power of history? Damn it..."
At this moment, Tai Nohira of the Battō team, together with Tai Suzuki and others, came to Xiao Letian carrying several corpses. "Prime Minister, we have already inspected the ambush battlefield... The person who attacked Lord Ryoma was actually Matsudaira Yoshiho." White Tiger Youth League.”
"What..." Xiao Letian was shocked.
Note: The first update is sent today, and one more update will be added later in order to thank Brother Jack for his full subscription and reward.
Yesterday, Xinjing said that he was going to finish the first volume of Hidden Dragon of the Qing Dynasty and that he would not write it until the Japanese guide was finished. As a result, many book friends were dissatisfied.
Some people advised me in the group, some privately messaged me to give me advice, and some Jack brothers used practical actions to reward all orders for their support... What surprised me even more was that no one was abusive, and everyone's quality made me heart-broken. I admire you so much and my heart is moved by everyone’s friendship.
Later, I had a dinner party with friends in the evening, and they also advised me to calm down. This is a long historical novel with more than 00,000 words. It would be a pity if I became a eunuch. There are very few writers in the Internet literary circle who can write such a long history.
Yes, I also feel very sorry for Xinjing. After a sleepless night, I finally thought about it and decided that I should just keep going through it, even though it is very difficult.
Some people may ask how difficult it is. I can now reveal that the subscription amount for this book's main website in September was less than 300 yuan, and as of yesterday, the subscription amount for October was less than 100 yuan.
Brothers and sisters, even if each of us pays one yuan a month for subscription, it shouldn’t be like this. Of course, the website will still have to take half of this money.
Is "The Hidden Dragon of the Qing Dynasty" good to watch? Is it good to watch? Is it good to watch? I ask three times about important things. If it is good to watch, why don't you give Xinjing a 9-cent subscription for a chapter? It's really hard for me to understand.
Well, it's useless to say that. In China, an environment where piracy is rampant, the author can only sigh.
Everyone said that they had no money, were part of the student gang, and were part of the paycheck to paycheck... But the cost was nine cents per chapter...
Okay, let’s not talk about those unhappy things. Xinjing will continue to work hard to write. I also hope that everyone will continue to support me. From today on, I can make a promise to update Xinjing.
If the subscription amount exceeds 30 yuan on that day, an additional chapter will definitely be added the next day. The subscription amount for each day can be checked in the website’s system. This is unmistakable.
For 30 yuan, I will add one more update, for 60 yuan, I will add two more updates, and for 90 yuan, I will add three more updates... You want to see how quickly and well you can, and you also hope that your results will keep getting better and better. In this case, let’s let the data speak for itself. .
I want to see if you can tire me out.
The above data is based on the subscription of the main computer website. If you don’t know where the main computer website is, you can join the group and ask book friends, 116253076
Okay, I'm going to start coding today's second chapter, which is for brother Jack.
