Chapter 28 False Gods
The Japanese side believes that the Taiping Army’s military strength is not strong in Daiwan.
So, they sent more than 3,000 people to give it a try.
Once the strength of the Taiping Army was estimated, they sent more troops to occupy it.
As the colonel of the new Meiji government in Japan, Katsushima brought 3,500 people. Then he personally brought 3,000 people to the ashore. This is the side of Daiwan near the ocean, and there are not many defenses forts or the like.
However, he also left behind the lieutenant colonel Sanada Juro, who led 500 soldiers to guard the steamboat, the Hitoshi.
The Meiji Restoration began, but Japan was not very rich.
In addition, Western people sell steamships very expensively.
Therefore, even the Japanese are extremely rare in this steam boat.
After Gui Zhenji took three thousand people to the shore, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack and stationed. Then, King Zhong Li Xiucheng also arrived with the soldiers of the Taiping Army.
Nowadays, Japan has received a lot of support from the West and spent a lot of money. Their firearms are similar to the most advanced firearms in the Qing Dynasty.
On the other hand, the Taiping Army was banned by Western countries, and the firearms they use now are still firearms made by their own countries.
Therefore, although the Taiping Army has an absolute advantage in terms of number of people, it has an absolute disadvantage in the issue of firearms.
In this way, the fight between the two sides was actually a draw.
Seeing this situation, Katsushima, the Japanese colonel, couldn't help but smile proudly: "Did you see it? This is the strength of the Taiping Army. Although it is a little stronger than what we expected, it is far from the opponent of our Great Fusang Empire. Daiwan Island has a vast area and a large population. Of course we have to occupy such a place."
"It occupies this place. Then it invades the entire China step by step."
...
At this time, the steamboat Jibird.
Five hundred Japanese soldiers were guarding.
The person in charge was Lieutenant Colonel Sanada Juro.
Sanada Juro claimed to have the bloodline of Sanada Tokhie during the Warring States Period.
He was thin and had a samurai sword on his back.
After receiving the telegram, he grinned: "A message came from the colonel just now. The Taiping Army of this unit is indeed not very strong. The firearms used are all the old-fashioned firearms. Such Daiwan Province should be occupied by our powerful Yamato people."
And immediately, a loud laugh came.
"Yes, our Japan is getting stronger and stronger."
"Although China is big, it is just a sick tiger, just waiting for us to swallow it slowly."
"Okay, everyone should be careful." Lieutenant Colonel Sanada Juro: "Although the Taiping Army is weak, there are at least tens of thousands of people. Maybe Colonel Kaneshima will still retreat with his people in the end."
"We're going to guard this steamship."
"Lieutenant Colonel, please rest assured. What are these Chinese peasant soldiers using to steal our steamships?" A Japanese soldier laughed strangely: "Can you rely on their gods?"
"Haha, the Chinese peasant army is just funny and always calms the gods. The gods are just to coax old men and women in the countryside. They are useless when fighting."
The Japanese were laughing.
But suddenly, a Japanese suddenly felt something was wrong.
The corners of his eyes seemed to be cramped.
"You see, you see."
“What to see?”
"Come on, I'll check it out, too."
According to his words, these Japanese people looked directly over.
Then, everyone was stunned!
They have never seen this before.
In the distance, a dark shadow, which was not too big, rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
Is that human speed?
Running too fast, you can only see afterimages.
Almost instantly, he ran to the edge of the coastline several miles away.
This speed is faster than a tiger.
On land, I have never seen such a fast creature.
Is this still a human?
Many Japanese soldiers were directly scared, and then they took a long breath. Fortunately, the steamship they were riding was still more than ten meters away from the coastline and did not directly lean on the coast.
This fastest creature on land, no matter how hard it can run, it can only run on land. It is impossible to run on sea water, nor can it cross more than ten meters of sea surface.
However, at this moment, beyond the expectations of all the Japanese soldiers, the man jumped suddenly.
Yes, that's just a jump.
He actually skipped more than ten meters.
Skipped more than ten meters of the sea.
Is this a human?
It is impossible for a person to run so fast!
It is impossible for a person to jump ten meters away in one go!
When the man landed on the side of the Jibird ship, the many Japanese soldiers could see clearly the man's appearance. This was a pretty boy, with a few swords on his back and a faint smile on his lips.
This is really a human being, not a monster I have never seen before! Terrible!
This is...who?
All the Japanese soldiers were frightened.
"Who are you?" Lieutenant Colonel Sanada Juro, the highest rank of the left-bearded Japanese soldiers, was a man with a thin body and beard on his lips. He dared to ask when other Japanese soldiers were scared.
"Who am I? I am the young king of the Taiping Army." He Xuan smiled slightly: "Oh, don't you know me?"
The left-behind Japanese soldiers and Lieutenant Colonel Sanada Juro all felt dizzy. They had ridiculed them before, saying that the Taiping Army was too funny and created a false god.
However, now seeing this young king, he really ran faster than a tiger, and he jumped more than ten meters long, they were still scared.
Some Japanese soldiers couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts. Could it be that it is not a false god, but a true god? Is it true that the news that this young heavenly king was the Holy Father and the Holy Son were two in one, and that he defeated thousands of Qing soldiers. Is it true?
Of course, there are many Japanese soldiers who still don’t believe it. There are legends of gods in any country, but from ancient times to the present, no god has ever jumped into the human world and appeared in front of everyone.
Sanada Juro was also startled, but then he shouted: "No matter who he is, open the fire."
"I don't believe that I can't beat him to death. What kind of gods are at most stronger people."
"right."
"What kind of god is at most a martial arts practitioner. No matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of firearms."
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
The Western muskets in the hands of Japanese soldiers opened fire with bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang b
This is a godless era.
