The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 101 Clear all the shells for me!
As night falls, the sea roars and the sound of waves crashing echoes in the night sky.

Edo Port, where Kyoto of Japan is located.

The moonlight shines on the sparkling sea, reflecting the faint outlines of ships in the distance. Along the harbor, waves crash and lights are dim. The lights twinkle in the night, shining against the stars in the night sky.

Busy figures can be vaguely seen on the pier, with occasional shouts and collisions. Around the pier, European-style buildings and traditional Japanese houses complement each other, showing the unique architectural style of the Meiji era.

The streets and alleys are crowded with people, some wearing kimonos, some wearing Western clothes, some walking in a hurry, and some strolling leisurely.

In the port, there are all kinds of ships, including traditional Japanese sailing ships and new steamships. The cargoes on the ships are piled up like mountains, including traditional Daxia products such as silk, tea, and porcelain, as well as new goods such as Western machinery and cloth.

In the naval port not far from the port.

Warships were moored neatly on the shore, and teams of Japanese soldiers were patrolling along the coast with serious expressions. In the towers that reached up to the sky, the sentinels inside were always on the alert, their eyes were sharp, and they were always patrolling the surroundings and the sea.

"Hmm?" A sentry in the east blockhouse suddenly fixed his eyes on the place where the sea and the sky met.

A slender, hazy black shadow suddenly appeared on the night horizon. It followed an arc course and quickly approached the Edo Port. This was a very routine combat formation for a naval fleet to bombard the coast.

It is very unreasonable that enemy warships could approach the Edo port silently under the heavy security cordons.

Although the sentry was confused, he blew the warning whistle immediately. A sharp whistle cut through the night sky, accompanied by a piercing shout: "Enemy ships are attacking! Prepare to fight!"

The silent naval port suddenly became noisy, with chaotic footsteps rumbling. Countless Japanese soldiers poured out of the military camps and warships on the shore, and under the command of officers at all levels, they were busy with solemn expressions. Quickly and orderly, some rushed to the gun positions, some rushed to the bunkers, some checked the ammunition, and some nervously observed the movements on the sea.

The Japanese soldiers on duty pointed their guns and cannons at the sea with solemn expressions, and began to load ammunition skillfully, ready to shoot at the enemy at any time.

In the highest blockhouse at the naval port.

A short, dignified old man in a navy blue military uniform put down the telescope in his hand, slammed the table with anger, turned around and asked the adjutant in front of him:

"Baga! What on earth is Okaku Tsuneo doing? With such a large-scale enemy ship raid, this bastard didn't even send back a single piece of information? Doesn't he want to be a navy admiral anymore? And are those bastards in the intelligence department blind? Damn it! These idiots should all commit seppuku!"

At the end he could no longer control his emotions, turned around and overturned the wooden table in front of the window, gasped, turned his head sharply, and his eyes flashed with a murderous gleam.

The adjutant shuddered, wiping the sweat off his forehead with his hand. He bowed and said in a humble and reasonable tone, "Mr. Hase, I have sent a telegram to the Imperial Palace to report the current situation to His Majesty the Emperor. I have also sent a telegram to the Intelligence Department to inquire about the situation. The most important thing now is to deal with this enemy's surprise attack and ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor and the adults in the Imperial Palace. Otherwise, we will all become sinners of the entire Japan."

Hasegawa Kiyoshi turned around and took several deep breaths to calm himself down. His face became serious and he gave an order in a deep voice: "Send a message to Shigetaro Shimada, Sadajiro Toyoda, Soemu Toyoda, Shiro Takasu, and Mineichi Koga. Have them lead their respective naval forces and rush to Edo at all costs."

"Send a message to Yamagata Aritomo, Oyama Iwao, and Nara Takeji. Tell them that the situation is critical and that they should immediately mobilize the surrounding armies to come to the aid of the Imperial Palace. Also, send a dispatch order to all armies across the country, asking them to rush to the aid of Edo at all costs!"

"Send a telegram to the Security Department and ask them to evacuate the people immediately. Pass the order..."

……

The adjutant's expression became more and more shocked. He simply could not understand why Hasegawa Kiyoshi, the veteran Japanese general, was so cautious.

The enemy fleet was very large, and the estimated military strength was about 400,000, which was a terrifying strength. But this was Edo, where there were 500,000 troops stationed all year round, and the total military strength of the auxiliary troops reached 700,000.

With a tight military defense line, favorable combat terrain, and artillery defense lines along the coast, although the enemy is coming aggressively, it should not be a problem to stop them from landing.

If such a large-scale military mobilization was later determined to be a military error, the veteran general would have to commit seppuku to apologize.

"Mr. Hase! Do you know the consequences of doing this? If the enemy..."

"Baga! What do you know, you idiot!" Hasegawa Kiyoshi didn't wait for the adjutant to finish, and angrily shook his hand and gave him a big slap. Looking at his aggrieved expression, veins on his forehead popped out, and he said angrily:
"Do you have a pig brain? In today's world situation, apart from Guangdong Prefecture of Daxia, which country? Which force? Has the ability to launch such a large-scale military operation?"

"For such a large-scale military operation, do you think the King of the East, as the leader of the power, will come along?"

"Who is the King of the East? He is a living god who fought against the Western coalition alone and blocked the entire western shipping route! Facing the wrath of the gods, what will be the consequence of not fighting back with all your strength? The destruction of the country! Do you know, you idiot? The destruction of the country!!!"

When Hasegawa Kiyoshi finished speaking, his heart was filled with fear and a look of horror could not be stopped from appearing on his face.

Facing a martial god who has the power to destroy an entire country, no country in the world dares to say that it is fearless. When such a terrifying figure comes with a large army, the pressure in his heart can be imagined. Calmly analyzing the situation and making arrangements is the limit of what he can do.

The adjutant froze, his eyes suddenly widened, his eyeballs almost popped out, his face turned pale, his body trembled uncontrollably, his legs swayed, and he trembled as he said:
"Haga...Tani...Tani...Sir! You must be joking...right...right? Japan has never provoked Guangdong Prefecture, nor has it participated in the siege of the God of War...With the virtue of the God of War...who benefits all people, there is no reason for him to destroy us, Japan..."

"Baga? If you ask me, who should I ask? Asshole! There's no time to waste! Send a telegram immediately and inform everyone of the current situation! Immediately! Right away!" Seeing the cowardly look of his adjutant, Hasegawa Kiyoshi gave this guy three big slaps again with a furious look on his face.

"Hey!" The adjutant came back to his senses after being beaten by three big bastards. He stood at attention and bent over. After receiving the order, he turned around and trotted forward to deliver the telegram.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi took a deep breath, walked tremblingly to the window, and looked towards the coastline with an expression of indescribable fear and melancholy.

Japan...I'm afraid it's dangerous...

The huge Qing Dynasty was destroyed in a flash, and this was something that the Martial God had done when he was at the peak of his powers. No one knew how strong the Martial God was now, but judging from the fact that he fought the Western coalition alone on the sea, his strength was probably more than a hundred times greater than when he destroyed the Qing Dynasty... If Japan faced the Martial God now, and he was bringing a large army with him, what would happen to him... He really didn't dare to think about it...

But two words emerged uncontrollably in my mind - destruction of the country!
Where the sea and sky meet.

Two thousand steam warships were arranged into a long steel dragon on the sea, cutting towards the distant Edo Port at full speed. The huge hulls were flashing cold light in the moonlight.

Under the manipulation of the artillery, the muzzles of the warships have all been pointed towards the naval port. Once the military order is given, they will fire at the enemy without mercy.

Yan Zhendong placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, staring at the Edo Port in the distance, with an expression of approval on his face: "The intelligence agency's methods are becoming more and more secretive... This operation will at least save the army half a month, which is very good..."

If it weren't for the help of the Intelligence Bureau, this surprise attack on Kyoto, Japan, would have been impossible.

Li Hu put his hands behind his back and said sternly, "Under the order of the Eastern King, the Intelligence Bureau spent nearly ten years and invested countless money and manpower to establish a secret and huge intelligence network in Japan."

"The Limin Army is responsible for the frontal attack, and the Intelligence Bureau and the secret guards are responsible for the secret raid. Only by attacking from both inside and outside can we complete the strategy of destroying the entire Japan at the lowest cost. This is the pincer attack strategy that was decided at the beginning of the plan."

Yan Zhendong showed admiration and said: "Young Master is still so far-sighted and cares so much about his soldiers and civilians. What more can I ask for when I meet a wise leader? It's a pity...Young Master is unwilling to fight for the world..."

Li Hu showed some reluctance on his face: "It's a pity that the dragon robe is useless to the King of the East... It's quite helpless to think about it..."

As he spoke, his mood could not help but fall. With the current reputation of the King of the East, ascending to the throne was really just a matter of words. In Guangdong Prefecture, who would not be envious of this easy achievement of following the dragon? Even he was envious.

However, when he thought of those warlords who were unwilling to accept their grievances and lived in fear all day, his mood improved a lot. Compared with these miserable guys, the people of Guangdong Prefecture were undoubtedly happy.

In the era when the Eastern King dominated the world, the warlords' lives were not good. Under the Seven Killing Orders, countless warlords were destroyed. In such a life of being restricted everywhere, how could they be like local emperors in troubled times?
Yan Zhendong glanced at Li Hu and snorted, "What are you thinking? If you don't want to, who in the world can force you? Who in the world dares to force you? And put on the yellow robe? If you want to die, then kill yourself and don't involve other brothers."

After that, he was too lazy to say more, and looked up at the brightly lit port in the distance. The young master was easy-going, but if he touched his bottom line, he would also take ruthless action.

Many officials in Guangdong Prefecture died at the hands of the secret guards. Many of them were acquaintances of the young master. They were never treated with any favors when they committed crimes. Those who deserved to be killed were killed, those who deserved to be punished were punished, and at most their families would not be implicated.

Li Hu nodded indifferently and said no more about this topic. Together with Yan Zhendong, he quietly waited for the opportunity to attack.

As time passed, the port of Edo came into sight.

Three thousand steel warships, like a steel blade, cut across the harbor under the night sky. The eyes of the Limin Army and Guangdong Guards on the warships became increasingly cold, and they each clenched their weapons, ready to slaughter the enemy.

Yes, it is a massacre, and this is not blind confidence.

The Limin Army has 150,000 soldiers, fully equipped with armor and sophisticated weapons. They are composed of Ming Jin warriors as soldiers, An Jin masters as generals, Hua Jin grand masters as spearheads, and Yan Zhendong, a Dan Jin powerhouse, as the commander. This is an invincible iron army that can sweep the world.

The Guangdong Guards have 350,000 soldiers, equipped with a new type of single-shot rifle developed by the Ordnance Bureau, powerful wooden-handled grenades, and new breech-loading steel cannons. Their overall combat power is enough to crush any contemporary army.

When these two invincible armies launch a surprise attack, the result can only be described as a massacre.

The Japanese soldiers in the Edo port looked at the steel warships getting closer and closer on the sea, with a hint of uneasiness in their eyes. When they saw the scale of the enemy ships clearly, the uneasiness spread completely, and was replaced by deep fear and doubt.

"Fire! Full coverage with firepower, no need to save shells! Empty all shells for me!"

At Yan Zhendong's command, the messenger immediately waved the flag in his hand. As the flag signal was conveyed, the artillery fire on the warship broke out instantly.

"Boom boom boom..."

Flames shone in the darkness, the sound of cannons shook the night sky, and the muzzles of three thousand warships spewed out dazzling flames. Shells poured down like a rainstorm, covering the Edo port.

"Rumble..."

The Edo Port and the military port were instantly engulfed in flames. Explosions were heard one after another, and flames shot up into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.

In the flames, shrapnel flew everywhere, and the terrifying air waves swept everywhere. Wherever they went, everything except the soil and rocks was shattered. One by one, the terrified Japanese people screamed as they were drowned in the spreading sea of ​​fire. In the flash of fire, there were charred corpses that looked like no human beings.

The Japanese soldiers and the Japanese people in the port were caught off guard by the sudden artillery fire. They had no idea why the enemy's artillery range was nearly one-third farther than that of the Japanese artillery. They were stunned and could only panic and look for cover to avoid the artillery attack.

The artillery of Guangdong Guard faithfully carried out Yan Zhendong's orders, and continuously fired shells at Edo Port, not caring about the damage to their own cannons or the consumption of shells. They manipulated the steel cannons behind the muzzles accurately and skillfully, with a solemn and serious look on their faces.

As the three thousand warships approached, the artillery fire became more and more fierce, and gradually covered the interior of the port. The entire Edo Port was completely turned into a living hell, and the military defense lines along the coast were completely overwhelmed and destroyed by the artillery fire.

At the same time, the secret guards lurking in the Edo port also began to take action. They shuttled in and out of the port like ghosts, quietly destroying the Japanese artillery and bunkers. They were agile and ruthless, and each attack could take the life of a Japanese soldier.

Soon the rear of the port fell into chaos. The sound of gunfire resounded throughout the night sky, dragging the already chaotic battlefield into a desperate and bloody abyss.
