On the Japanese side, they believed that the military strength of the Taiping Army was not strong.

So, they sent more than 3,000 people to give it a try.

Once the strength of the Taiping army was assessed, they sent more large armies to occupy it.

And Katsura Shinji, as a colonel in the new Meiji government of Japan, brought 3,500 people with him. Then he personally brought 3,000 men ashore. This is the side of the bay close to the ocean, and there aren't many defensive bunkers or anything like that.

However, he also left behind Sanada Juro, a lieutenant colonel, with 500 soldiers, to guard the steamship, the Pole Bird.

The Meiji Restoration began, but Japan didn't have much money.

In addition, Westerners sell steamships at a very high price.

Therefore, even the Japanese are extremely rare in this steamship.

After Gui Zhenzhi took 3,000 men and went ashore, he did not rush to attack, but found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and stationed there. And then, the loyal king Li Xiucheng also arrived with the soldiers of the Taiping army.

Now Japan has received a lot of support from the West and spent a lot of money, and their firearms are similar to the most advanced firearms of the Qing court.

On the other hand, the Taiping Army was banned by Western countries, and the firearms used now are still domestically made.

Therefore, although the Taiping army has an absolute advantage in numbers, it has an absolute disadvantage in the issue of firearms.

In this way, the battle between the two parties is actually a draw.

Seeing this situation, Katsura Shinji, the Japanese colonel, couldn't help but smile proudly: "See? This is the strength of the Taiping Army, although it is a little stronger than we expected." However, it is far from being the opponent of our Great Fuso Empire. Duwan Island has a vast area and a large population, so of course we have to occupy such a place. ”

"Occupy here. Then step by step, it invaded the whole of China. ”

......

And at this time, the steamship Pole Bird was on the side.

There were 500 Japanese soldiers on guard.

The person at the head is none other than Lieutenant Colonel Sanada Juro.

Sanada Juro, who claims to have the bloodline of Sanada Jubei during the Warring States period.

He was thin and carried a katana on his back.

After receiving the telegram, he grinned: "Just now there was news from the colonel's side, the Taiping army of this department is really not very strong. The firearms used are all old-fashioned firearms. Such a province should be occupied by our powerful Yamato nation. ”

And immediately, there was a loud laugh.

"Yes, we are getting stronger and stronger. ”

"Although China is big, it is just a sick tiger, just waiting for us to swallow it slowly. ”

"Well, you still have to be careful. Lieutenant Colonel Sanada Juro: "Although the Taiping Army is weak, there are tens of thousands of people at best, maybe in the end, Colonel Katsura Shinji will still lead people back." ”

"We're going to guard this steamship. ”

"Lieutenant Colonel, you can rest assured, what are these Chinese peasant armies using to rob our steamboats. A Japanese soldier laughed strangely: "Is it possible, relying on their gods?"

"Haha, China's peasant army is just funny, and it can't help but calm its own spirits. The gods are the ones who coax the old men and women in the countryside. It's useless when you're fighting. ”

The Japanese were laughing.

But suddenly, a Japanese man suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The corners of his eyes felt like cramps.

"Look, look. ”

"What are you looking at?"

"Come on, I'll take a look too. ”

This group of Japanese, according to his words, looked directly at the past.

Then, everyone was stunned!

They had never seen it before.

In the distance, a black shadow that was not too big rushed towards it at great speed.

Is that the speed of a person?

Running too fast, too fast, so fast that you can only see the afterimage.

Almost instantly, they ran from miles away to the edge of the coastline.

This speed is faster than that of a tiger.

On land, I have never seen such a fast creature.

Is this still human?

Many Japanese soldiers were directly frightened, and then they took a long breath, fortunately, the steam ship they were on was still more than ten meters away from the coastline, and it was not directly against the coast.

No matter how much the fastest creature on land can run, it can only run on land, it is impossible to run on the sea, and it is impossible to cross more than ten meters of sea.

However, at this moment, to the surprise of all the Japanese soldiers, the man took a sudden jump.

Yes, that's the jump.

actually jumped more than ten meters.

Jumped more than ten meters above the sea surface.

Is this human?

It is impossible for a man to run so fast!

It is impossible to jump ten meters at once!

When this person landed on the side of the Pole Bird, at this time, many Japanese soldiers saw this person's appearance clearly. This is a young man who still looks very delicate, with several swords on his back and a faint smile on his lips.

This is really a human, not a monster that has never been seen before!

This is...... Who?

All the Japanese soldiers were frightened.

"Who are you?" Lieutenant Colonel Sanada Juro, the highest rank of the Japanese soldiers who stayed behind, this man with a thin body and a beard on his lips, was considered bold, and he dared to ask out loud when the other Japanese soldiers were frightened.

"Who am I? I am the Young Heavenly King of the Taiping Army. He Xuan smiled slightly: "Oh, don't you know me?"

The Japanese soldiers who stayed behind, as well as Lieutenant Colonel Sanada Juro, only felt dizzy in front of them. They had also mocked before, saying that the Taiping Army was too funny and had created a false god.

However, looking at this young king now, he really ran faster than a tiger, jumping more than ten meters long, and they were still scared.

In the hearts of some Japanese soldiers, a thought could not help but float in their hearts: Could it be that it is not a false god, but a true god? Could it be that in the previous rumors, the news that this young king was a holy father and a holy son in one, and that he had defeated thousands of Qing soldiers, was it true?

Of course, there were also many Japanese soldiers who still did not believe it. Every country has legends of gods, but from ancient times to the present, there has never been a god who will leap into the world and appear in front of everyone.

Sanada Juro's heart was also suddenly shocked, but then, he shouted: "It doesn't matter who he is, fire." ”

"I don't believe that I can't kill him. What gods, at most are stronger people. ”

"Yes. ”

"What kind of god, at most one has practiced martial arts. No matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of firearms. ”

"Bang bang!"

The Western muskets in the hands of the Japanese soldiers opened fire with a bang, turned into a barrage of bullets, and poured towards He Xuan.

This is a godless time.

Western firearms can destroy everything.
