Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

It was very difficult to improve the morale of the troops on the battlefield. It required harsh training, iron discipline, the same motivation as the commander's artist, plus glory and the rewards after victory, the morale of the troops would be boosted for multiple reasons.

However, the collapse of the morale was only a matter of seconds. The moment the first deserter appeared in the army, the number of deserters would immediately skyrocket.

The reason was simple. Humans' desire to survive was a biological instinct, and survival came from the nature of animals. Victory, glory, and the spirit of warriors were all nurtured social consciousness.

You'll run, but I won't run? Do you think we're stupid! We were raised by our parents, why should we die for nothing?

At this moment, the instincts of a human's survival overcame everything. The Southwest Allied Army had completely collapsed.

There were many fleeing soldiers on the ground. Although some of the warriors were still holding on to their formation, Musketeers and Qian Qian were not warriors.

When the warriors had cut down dozens of the deserters, the rest of the soldiers attacked in groups. "The prince has fled, so why can't we?" We are working for the Sky Emperor, but the commander of the Sky Emperor has already ran away, so why are we foolishly going to die? "

"Honor? Have you forgotten what honor is?" The hysterical warrior cut down another deserter, spraying blood across his face.

"You are a warrior, we are not, we are just soldiers, we want to live!" As he spoke, one of the soldiers stabbed his spear into the warrior's waist, causing him to scream in pain.

Resistance was similar to a virus. The moment there was one, there would be another. Soon, the warriors who were supervising the battle could no longer hold off the tide of people. Soon, they disappeared into the sea.

"Fire Suppression..." Stick to them... Let the fleeing soldiers attack their primary matrix … " Under the command of the French officers, the new troops of the Tokugawa continued to fight more and more smoothly.

At this point, there was no need to concentrate and fire. Everyone could freely fire, as long as they could maintain the fear of the enemy.

On the Osaka City, Tokugawa Yoshinobu was laughing so hard that he looked like he was about to have a stroke. Wine, a wine for celebration! "We've finally won, it's really not easy. The Mu Clan's 200 years of martial arts luck is continuing!"

The sake bottles drank through each other's mouths, flowing down to their necks. The slaughter that took place on the plains in front of them was the best wine and food in the world.

The thirty thousand Southwest Allied Army s had already lost over seven thousand members in the last few days of fighting, and now that the Samoan, Tuzuofan, and Fats' ten thousand strong army had become dogs that had lost their lives, the remaining ten thousand people of the Changzhou vassal s could no longer hold back, and victory was already within reach.

The cheers of victory could be heard everywhere in Osaka City. At that moment, no one had given the order for the defending army to launch a counterattack. Everyone had thrown themselves into battle.

Changzhou vassal's army was pushed out of the city alive. When the enemy and I were at their craziest, they were already sticking their faces to each other, facing each other face to face, and their teeth and nails had already become weapons to attack.

At this time, Shan Xianyoupeng was also at a loss of what to do. The current him did not have the elegance of a later generation notable general. If it was the real history of the war, the Japanese Prime Minister who had fought in the Russo-Japanese War, and the warlord leader who had come here, he would have immediately chosen to conserve his strength.

Don't underestimate the Changzhou vassal right now, but their enemies were the defending troops of the Osaka City. In other words, their opponents were quite strong.

If it was a mature and shrewd politician, he would have retreated and conserved his power if he knew he could not win. However, once he left the battlefield, the other three vassals would have lost their formations, and the only person who could control the situation would be him, Shan Xianyoupeng.

This was the same joke that Xiao Letian had heard from his previous life. Four of his friends met a bear in the mountains, while the other three were trying to escape, while the fourth was trying to tie his shoelaces.

"I don't hope to outrun a bear. I just want to run past you guys …" It was a funny joke, but the ruthlessness in it was the motto politicians had to learn.

Sometimes, when a huge failure comes, many losers choose not to share the same boat with each other, but to stab each other in the back instead.

This is not to say that they are stupid. On the contrary, this is a very clever political tactic. Although we lost as a group, I cannot lose. It sounds a bit contradictory, but you can understand it from a different perspective.

Since we can't defeat the enemy even if all of us gather together, then I might as well maintain my strength in the war and stab my own people twice. That way, even though I lost to the enemy, I would still win against my comrades.

Then, during the period of recovery from the armistice, as a winner who had saved most of his strength, shouldn't I be sharing the biggest benefit? Look, even though I lost to the enemy, I can still take my losses from my comrades.

The most obvious example was the War of Resistance. The Kuomintang had numerous factions, and continuously defeated the Japanese. However, the internal strife and strife did not stop until the end of the second world war.

The loser had already decided that he would not give the order to retreat, but he still had the chance to issue a Charge Command: "Charge, we still have a chance! As long as we fight to the death, rush into the Heaven's Tower to capture Tokugawa Yoshinobu alive, we can negotiate, and at that time, we will still be the winners!"

"No way! Master, quickly retreat. Leave some seeds for our Changzhou vassal! " Gao Shanjinzuo, who was beside him, was much more quick-witted than him.

"Eight!" Gao Shanjinzuo you piece of trash, you are the shame of a martial artist! "If you don't dare to charge up, then I'll …" With that said, Shan Xianyoupeng unsheathed her blade and rushed forward.

Gao Shanjinzuo grabbed his sleeves: "You are the general appointed by the vassal lords, you have to take charge of the lives of the over ten thousand brothers of the Changzhou vassal. Since you want to charge, I will …" With that, he waved his arms and shouted: "Brothers of Raiders, do you dare to charge together with me again!"

"Kill!" The remaining two hundred members who could fight dragged their tired bodies and attacked the Osaka City once again.

Unfortunately, their momentum was gone, no matter how hard Gao Shanjinzuo tried, he was unable to adapt the fate of failure, the Raiders members beside him all fell, the dying roars were like beasts, the loyal warriors that he brought with him used their bodies to protect Gao Shanjinzuo, like daggers rushing into the crowd.

More and more people died in battle. When the Raiders reached the second gate, there were only ten warriors left standing beside Gao Shanjinzuo.

"I'm sorry, I brought you out from your hometown, but I didn't expect you to be on the road to death, I owe you each a life!"

"My lord, why do you say that? It is an unparalleled honor for a warrior to be destroyed on the battlefield. Our families will be proud of me!"

"We still remember the poem that our lord chanted in the battle at Little Cang, 'The Heroic Dongfan army of 80,000 soldiers assaulted our village in Wavecolor City, and we will soon meet our deaths, and wait for our neighbors to hear the sound of the cannons'. At that time, you were so heroic, why are you weak now?"

Gao Shanjinzuo laughed out loud. "Hahaha …" That's right, I'm weak now. Since you all like that poem, then just treat it as our death poem! Brothers, move forward with your lives on the line! "

In the midst of the singing, the last essence of the Raiders was added into the barbecue for the war. Gao Shanjinzuo died under random spears, and he was only 28 years old when he died.

Shan Xianyoupeng watched helplessly as Gao Shanjinzuo and countless other brave warriors died under the Osaka City. At this moment, his heart was filled with regret, not only because of Gao Shanjinzuo's death, but also because he had already missed the best time to retreat.

Right now, the new army of the Tokugawa was nearing the western wall of the Osaka City. The soldiers of the Changzhou vassal were already within range of the enemy rifles.

The defending army inside Osaka City and the reinforcements outside the city had already formed a cross fire, moving forward from two directions. Looking at the army from Shimadzu Family and the two other families, they were already retreating like a tide, even Xi Xianglongsheng's General Flag was moving towards the west.

"Xi Xianglongsheng! How did you escape? Is that the end of our reversals? " Shan Xianyoupeng painfully closed his eyes, "Retreat, our Changzhou vassal will also retreat …"

Listening to the sounds of gunfire outside, Shan Xianyoupeng suddenly opened his eyes and cursed, "Damn you Xiao Letian, if it wasn't for your arms embargo, how could we have lost to the Mu Clan? Fire! Hand grenade! "I want explosives …"

Shan Xianyoupeng had already fallen into a maniacal state of mind and was unable to extricate himself. He did not know that he would actually blame the failure on Xiao Letian, and was truly worthy of the reputation of a perverted race.

"Achoo …" Achoo... Who's scolding me? " Xiao Letian stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the thick smoke rising in the distance.

"How is the situation? Is there any news from the observation post? "

"Prime Minister!" The onshore observation post sent a light signal. The Dechuan New Army had already broken through the defensive line of the Southwest Allied Army.

"Reporting..." The Changzhou vassal had collapsed, Shan Xianyoupeng's flag had retreated to the west and Xi Xianglongsheng had retreated as well. All the General Flags in the Southwest Allied Army began to move towards the west … "

"Good!" It's finally our turn to attack, and eat the Tokugawa's navy first … "

The Ryukyu Fleet set sail fully, and after fifteen minutes, they finally made a detour around the turn in the sea corner. The chaotic Osaka Gulf appeared in front of Xiao Letian.

However, it was a pity that they were the most old-fashioned Japanese Ship Closure. Many of the cannons were bronze cannons forged by the Warring States Period, and such battleships were only able to intimidate pirates.

"Nani?" A sharp-eyed sailor turned his head to look, only to find that a huge fleet had emerged from behind the protuberant cape. Huge sails swept the wind, the bow of the ship pierced through the waves, and countless figures of light blue military uniforms could be seen swaying on the deck.

"Ah …" It's the army of the Ryukyu... My Lord Buddha! The Ryukyu's Navy is here... Xiao Letian is here! "
