C682 The final battle was imminent

After the Blood War, the Osaka City was filled with the thick smell of blood, most of the underground area had been burned down, and the merchants and commoners who were lucky enough to hide at home had abandoned all their delusions and escaped in the darkness, turning the underground area into a dead city.

Only the tall Osaka City was still in a state of uproar. On the walls of the city, the corpses of the soldiers and the ninjas were still hung everywhere. Many of them were still fresh, their blood dripping down.

The harbor was under the control of the Mu Clan's troll army. Large bags of rice, medicines, kunbs, mutes … There were also Arms and ammunition s, which were replenished with new recruits.

Tokugawa Yoshinobu who was hiding in the Osaka City knew that if the Osaka City was lost, it would mean that Guan Xi was lost. Without the castle that watched over the Sky Emperor, the Curtain Army would definitely cooperate with the Sky Emperor to control the entire Beijing Belt.

Both sides knew the importance of the Osaka City and that this battle would determine the fate of their nation. Its importance had definitely surpassed Guan Yuan's.

Tokugawa Yoshinobu had already taken out all of his two hundred years worth of savings, and all of the Osaka City's garrison troops drank the best food, adding the plum dried rice ball s and the Kunbu tofu soup, these food would be good food even if placed on the famous dining table, but today, they had all brought it out for all the soldiers.

Not only that, the team leaders and senior warriors surrounding the fire were giving out rewards to their subordinates based on their achievements. A head of the enemies was exchanged for a Ryukyu Dragon-striated Silver Coin, there were even Japanese silver ingots forged by the Warring States Period.

Every time they gave out silver coins, there would be waves of cheers. The people who were eating rice ball all took the silver coins and kowtowed to express their gratitude. At that moment, they all had the heart to die for Tokugawa.

The silver coins were hidden in the pockets of their clothes. Almost all the poor soldiers had this kind of money hidden in their pockets, which were made for them by their mothers and wives.

So what if you have the money to work hard? The survival of the lowly commoners is just that difficult. A life of mud doesn't need to think about tomorrow. The real thing is to seize the benefits in front of you.

The soldiers at the bottom level would only need to pay the silver coins, but the senior warrior generals used the gold from the Tokugawa's treasury. Generation after generation of golden sand and golden plates became rewards for the high-ranking officers to fight bravely against the enemy. The Heaven's Tower was filled with cheers.

Very quickly, the Changzhou vassal Ninjas hiding on the rooftops were discovered, the Hidden Fog Kid brought the Tokugawa Ninjas to the roof and started chasing after them with tinkling sounds. In a short while, three of the four Ninjas were killed, and the remaining one escaped back to the alliance army base with heavy injuries.

"Nani?" The internal affairs of the river were actually using gold and silver to boost morale? There was actually a Ryukyu's Dragon-striated Silver Coin? You have already taken out all of the gold that was hidden in the treasury? " Xi Xianglongsheng was shocked.

The injured Ninja gasped, "That's right. Elder Dahe told the generals that this is a battle to the death. Throwing away the South Japan Tokugawa is the end of the world. So he has already asked the Lord General to use the wealth that the Tokugawa has saved for more than two hundred years …"

"The River City's secret storage room has already been opened … They are going to fight to the death! "

"Increase the number of troops, increase the number of troops at once!" The one who jumped out was the relief team leader Zhong Gangshentailang, the fanatical warriors took out their Katana and shouted from the command tent.

On the other hand, Sakamoto Ryoma remained relatively calm: "Please be careful, you must be cautious, the Osaka City is a famous city that is easy to defend and hard to attack, furthermore, our water army does not completely control the sea, the enemy's reinforcements will come in endlessly!"

However, Sakamoto Ryoma's voice had caused the others to roll their eyes, while the mistrust in their eyes made the Mr. Ryoma's heart ache.

Xi Xianglongsheng could be considered a famous Japanese general, he even dared to go against the Sky Emperor's army, this kind of person was extremely resolute and stubborn.

"I can't see any signs of the enemy's morale weakening during the battle. Furthermore, the supplies in the city are very sufficient, even ordinary people would be able to eat firewood and fish. It seems that Tokugawa has really gone overboard."

"It's a pity that we didn't order enough cannons from the Ryukyu, if there were enough cannons … "Forget it, we can't always rely on others. Everything depends on us. I've decided to activate the reserve team!"

"Mr. West Village, please reconsider!" Mr. Ryoma stood up and kneeled on the ground, but no one listened to him anymore.

Walking out of the tent, everyone ignored him, and Zhong Gangshentailang even heavily bumped into him once. Mr. Ryoma knew that everyone treated him as a traitor, and honestly speaking, if it wasn't for Xiao Letian supporting him from behind, if it wasn't for the Prime Minister's face, he didn't even have the right to attend the meeting.

"Why doesn't anyone listen to me? He didn't even have the authority to control the sea, yet he blindly threw himself into the army. This was too careless … It's not easy for the Southwest Four Feudal Lords to amass such a fortune, how could they so easily give it away? "

What made the Mr. Ryoma even more worried was that something like this would happen the next morning. A group of elite cavalry warriors suddenly appeared on the west side of the battlefield, escorting a large group of white-robed officials and the Emperor's imperial edict.

Of course, Xi Xianglongsheng and the others had the authority to decide how to fight the battle in reality. However, this kind of appointment, filled with a sense of ceremony, was too stimulating, and the respect and respect of the common people for the Emperor was the source of the morale.

More importantly, Prince Renhe had brought along a 'pennant' which was a pattern of golden sun and silver moon designed by Yu Songye, the advisor of the rock bastion, but which had been used since the Middle Ages as a flag against the enemy. At that time, with the help of Dajiabao and Yinchuan Mi, they sent over the silk cloth and patterns, which were sewn at the Changzhou Pass and secretly sent to the capital.

The moment the flag was erected, the allied army roared with joy. The Sky Emperor actually took out the flag seal to suppress the enemy, which meant that the Sky Emperor viewed the Tokugawa as a traitor.

Under the encouragement of the flag, the allied army charged towards the Osaka City, the battlefield was filled with the roars of 'Sky Emperor's plate'. The warrior with the Katana in her mouth climbed up the city walls, even the ninjas gave up on hiding and chose to appear on the battlefield to kill.

Another batch of dead soldiers then rushed up, the Tokugawa's army was struggling to resist the enemy's attack, many of the soldiers were even exhausted.

Looking back at the city gate, Yue Yang's body had already become a mountain. In order to resist the crazy attacks of the allied army, Tokugawa would even sprinkle the black gunpowder down and start a fire formation. By then, there would be no more oil and boiling water in the city.

After a day of war, the Osaka City suffered three setbacks. In the end, Big River's internal affairs actually used gold to recruit death soldiers. Only then did he carry out a suicide attack on the allied army with explosives on his body, saving the city from danger.

Two thousand people died in Osaka City in one day, and countless people were maimed. The strong stench of blood made everyone nauseous, and in the end, both sides were so tired that they didn't even have the energy to collect the corpses.

In the end, he took out the authority bestowed to him by the Sky Emperor and ordered, "Troop strength, we must increase our strength. If we continue fighting like this, even if our blood drains, we won't be able to win!"

The order of the Prince received the support of 90% of the generals. The reserve troops at the back began to gather at the battlefield, and the reinforcements from the Southwest Four Feudal Lords also started to head north.

At this time, the Tokugawa's Water Army, which had been hiding in the Xiong Ye Beach, started to set sail. On the deck, Minister of France and French instructor who had just arrived had gathered.

"Minister, currently, the number of troops under the Osaka City has exceeded 30,000, they are all the most elite legions, as long as we eat this cake, only the new soldiers and the old and weak will be left of the Southwest Four Feudal Lords, your strategy is too successful!"

Luo Shen had just enjoyed the beautiful lady service provided by the Shimadzu Family, and was completely refreshed with spirit and energy, "Hmm, we do not have time to waste with these barbarians, it's a Chinese proverb, I think it's very logical."

"It's time for them to understand what a modern war is. If we can't deal with Xiao Letian, can't we deal with the little Japanese? Do you really think that buying a few weapons is like buying a new army? Dream on … Go at full speed, prepare to land at Bechuchi! "

Under the orders of the Minister, Luo Shen, the fleet armed to the teeth, advanced towards the inner seas, and along the way, they even loaded and dispersed a few fishing boats, causing the merchant ships in the distance to scatter in all directions.

Luo Shen did not know that Xiao Letian's spies were among the fleeing merchant ships, and within the Hidden Fog Kid's intelligence reports, the Four Seals had already offended Xiao Letian, and had rejected his request for reinforcements three times.

The French understood Xiao Letian's pride very well. They knew that the Chinese philosophy did not care too much about things, and of course they could not put too much face on his butt. Therefore, they decided that the possibility of Xiao Letian intervening in the military was very low.

Furthermore, they did not believe that Xiao Letian had the ability to mobilize troops so quickly. Battling was not a joke, just preparing the supplies would take more than ten days, right? And then add military mobilization? It was estimated that once Xiao Letian's army reached Japan, the war would have ended long ago.

However, Luo Shen never thought that Xiao Letian's army's preparation time was completely set up in accordance to the standards of the later generation of rapid reaction units. The warehouse had been storing supplies that could sustain a high intensity war for three months, and the reaction speed to battle had actually exceeded that of the British.

The spy ship quickly found Xiao Letian's fleet, and all the information proved his previous judgement. The Osaka City was a trap, and its goal was to attract the entire main force of the Four Seasons Soldiers.

Japan was not China, every famous man had several thousand professional soldier, but most of them were farmers. The top 30,000 elite soldiers were already a gathering of all the professional soldier.

If these thirty thousand soldiers were eaten by the French, there would be no more professional soldier in the south of Japan.

"Forward... Fleet Speed... After the enemy's ass, it's time for us to reap the harvest again... "By the time the last drop of blood has been drained from the Four Seals, it will be the time for our new army to accomplish great things …"

"I, your father's two thousand new troops, will change the history of Japan this year!"
