Chapter 733: The Shinsengumi Shows Its Might! Crush the Tenchugumi! [4300]

"Follow me! Don't fall behind!"

"Kill ah ah ah ah!"

"Let them see how powerful Totsukawa's men are!"

…

The villagers of Totsugawa charged forward in a swarm, like wild boars descending the mountain, rolling up clouds of dust and smoke.

The one who takes the lead is none other than Susumu Yohori, the leader of the Totsukawa Goshi Corps.

Looking at the army of country soldiers who ignored orders and acted without permission, Yoshimura Tontaro was stunned at first, and then he took a deep breath as if he was deprived of oxygen, his face turned red and his eyes were filled with tears.

"Yohori...! You bastard!"

Regarding the bravery of the countrymen, even a picky person like Yoshimura Torataro has to speak highly of it.

Facing the Shinsengumi, which is far larger than our own, they still have the courage to charge into battle, which is commendable.

But...their wanton behavior harmed the entire army!

Orders and prohibitions - no matter ancient or modern, this is the most basic principle of an army.

Everyone can freely use their subjective initiative, so why fight?

It's just a matter of killing yourself. The most serious consequence is to put the entire army into an extremely unfavorable situation - this is the case for the Totsukawa Goshi Corps!

The formation of the Tenchu ​​team was not neat at all, it could even be said to be scattered.

This is as it should be.

They are not well-trained and battle-hardened regular troops.

It is not easy to be able to arrange into a square array that can barely have a shape.

And now, because of the unauthorized attack by the country soldiers, the entire army has suffered massive chaos!

Some people saw the villagers taking action, so they followed the charge in a daze.

More people stood there with blank faces, neither advancing nor retreating.

For a time, chaos and disorder dominated the entire Tenchu ​​Army!

Yoshimura Tontaro gritted his teeth so hard that they made a crunching sound.

Although he was filled with anger and resentment, he managed to maintain at least some sanity with his perseverance.

Regarding the current situation, he quickly made a judgment:

The army of rural soldiers has launched an attack, and it is meaningless for the remaining troops to stick to their original positions.

As a last resort, he pulled out the sword from his waist -

"Rush!!"

After roaring, he struck the horse's belly vigorously, and the horse took the lead.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers did not dare to hesitate any longer. They drew their sabers, straightened their spears, and rushed out of the formation in a fierce battle!

With a squeaking sound, a crow flew over the field.

If you have the vision of this crow, you can see how magnificent the scene below is!

The two armies galloped and roared in the wilderness, and the sound shocked the world!

In order to fight against the Shinsengumi and prevent the dangerous situation of "flank exposure", Yoshimura Tortaro had to divide the entire army into three groups: "left wing", "center army" and "right wing".

Totsugawa's Roshi Corps Central Army.

Matsumoto Kuitou led most of the Tenchu ​​group's elders to the left.

Fujimoto Teishi led a part of the elders and those "respecting patriots" who defected to the right wing.

Yoshimura Torataro's intention is simple - the center and right wing seek stability! Create an advantage on the left-wing battlefield!

For those "people with lofty ideals" who are not strong-willed, Yoshimura Tontaro no longer has any hope for them.

As long as these guys don't collapse quickly, he'll be thankful.

Facts have proved that "it is better to learn from Taoyuan to form a sworn brotherhood than to learn from Wagang to make a furnace of incense" is actually the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors.

Yoshimura Tontaro's core team is the elders headed by Matsumoto Kuitou.

When they followed Yoshimura Torataro to raise troops, they had already put life and death aside, and they were all ruthless men who stuck their heads in their belts.

Therefore, their fighting will is the strongest, and they are the strength that Yoshimura Torataro relies on most.

The reason why he concentrated the senators on the left wing was to create an advantage on the local battlefield and win.

If the left wing wins, it will be able to circle to the right and support the central army. Under the attack of the left and center armies, the Shinsengumi's central army will be defeated. Finally, it will continue to circle to the right and take out the Shinsengumi's left wing. .

In other words - as long as there is a battlefield victory, you can win life!

Of course, it will definitely not work to put all those who "respect people with lofty ideals" on the right wing.

Once these cowards who are unable to take on big responsibilities gather together, a "coward resonance effect" will occur, and they will be slightly attacked...or perhaps they will collapse without even being attacked.

Therefore, Yoshimura Tontaro placed another of his cronies, Fujimoto Teishi, and a small group of elders on the right wing, and they served as the ballast stone for the right wing.

That is to say, the very classic combat mode of the feudal era of "a small number of elites + the vast majority of cannon fodder" is adopted.

As long as the elites are still there, this army will still be organized.

If these elites are gone... then they are gone.

Woo——! Woo——! Woo——! Woo——!

Suddenly, the loud conch horn sounded again from behind the Shinsengumi's military formation.

The loud and mighty horn sound was like a soaring eagle, hovering and soaring over the battlefield, then drifting away in the distance.

Yoshimura Tontaro suddenly felt shocked.

Although he didn't understand the Shinsengumi's military system, with his simple intuition, he vaguely guessed that the horns were conveying the message of "starting a general attack"...

As expected!

The left, center, and right armies of the Shinsengumi suddenly accelerated!

They marched forward with their heads held high, from a trot to a fast run, and then to a full-out sprint!

The rolling clouds of dust became thicker and thicker, almost covering the sky and the sun!

At this moment, the soldiers of the Tenchu ​​group all felt a dignified murderous aura rushing towards them!

As the distance continued to narrow, Yoshimura Toratarou gradually saw the faces and expressions of the Shinsengumi soldiers opposite.

Most of them were very young, with a strong sense of tension on their cheeks.

As far as Yoshimura Toratarou knew, after the great expansion of the army a while ago, more than 90% of the Shinsengumi soldiers were newly recruited.

In other words, today's battle was the first battle for these recruits.

Even so, if you look closely, you can find that there is no fear on their faces.

The only expression they have is the desire for fame! Only the desire for the enemy's head!

To be honest, the outcome of this battle has been doomed before it even started.

On one side was a well-trained regular army.

On the other side was a mob that was put together at random.

On one side was full of fighting spirit and eager to fight.

On the other side was timid and cowardly, like a frightened bird.

The outcome of the battle... was not difficult to imagine.

Finally... the two rapidly approaching armies collided heavily!

The victory or defeat was decided almost instantly!

Countless spears stabbed out.

Countless blades fell.

The soldiers of the Shinsengumi were mercilessly violent! Bringing blood and terror to the enemy!

Like a long sickle slashing into the weeds, the two armies harvested hundreds of lives in one breath as soon as they collided! It was really like mowing the grass!

The blood rain splashed one after another.

The colorful blood drops dyed the soil under their feet red, turning it into a muddy swamp; dyed the layers of corpses squeezed together red, turning them into terrible pieces of meat; dyed the faces and armor of the survivors who were still alive red, making their expressions terrified and timid.

"Ahhhh..."

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——!"

"Save me... Save me..."

Groaning, screaming, asking for help... all kinds of sounds mixed together, difficult to distinguish from each other.

In fact, these sounds that came one after another did not have a strong sense of existence.

Because they were drowned out by the deafening roar of killing in an instant, and quickly disappeared in the endless shouting.

Some survivors relied on their strength or luck to avoid the first round of attacks.

However... their feet were already full of the bodies of their comrades.

Whether they were attacking forward or retreating backward, they would be tripped by the bodies of their compatriots under their feet and fall into the pool or stream of blood if they were not careful.

The soldiers of the Shinsengumi completely ignored whether the human bodies under their feet were dead or alive.

Their eyes were always fixed on the front.

Their feet were always moving forward!

Even if the people in the front row lost their strength, the people in the back row would quickly make up for it.

In this way, the offensive of the Shinsengumi was continuous! There was no moment of rest!

Like the waves of the sea, one wave after another!

Some people in the Tenchu-gumi - such as the always reckless Totsukawa Goshi - mustered up their courage and fought with the "light green color" in front of them.

Their courage was commendable.

But it was in vain.

"Go to hell!"

Someone roared and slashed with a knife.

The blade cut through the light green haori, but no blood was spilled, but a string of sparks was dragged out.

"Chain mail?!"

After leaving these last words, a big hole was cut in the man's belly.

"Watch out for the knife!"

Someone slashed horizontally.

His opponent held his gun and held it.

In a flash, another "light green color" seized this opportunity, stepped forward quickly, and killed the man with a knife.

When someone was concentrating on fighting the enemy, he was suddenly attacked, his left foot was cut, and the whole person fell into the pool of blood on the ground.

The next moment, big feet fell on him like raindrops, and soon, the body of the person was inseparable from the pool of blood under him.

All the tragic scenes mentioned above appeared repeatedly in various places on the battlefield!

Using the flesh to fight against the fully armed.

Using passion to fight against well-trained.

Using each doing his own thing to fight against strict discipline.

There is a huge gap between the equipment and training levels of the two armies, like a natural moat.

It is not surprising that there will be such a result.

It is true that most of the current members of the Shinsengumi are new recruits.

Despite this, they have been trained for a period of time, and they have also eaten a feast for a while to keep their bodies healthy.

Therefore, even if they are new recruits, their overall quality is far better than this "mixed plate army".

Yoshimura Torataro opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at the one-sided battlefield.

He probably never expected that the left wing he had high hopes for would be the first battlefield to collapse!

It must be said that Yoshimura Toratarou had really bad luck.

The left wing of the Tenchu ​​Group faced the right wing of the Shinsengumi, namely the second and third squads of the Shinsengumi.

They were two of the three ace troops of the Shinsengumi!

In other words, the left wing of the Tenchu ​​Group just happened to face the main force of the Shinsengumi!

Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi stood in front of the battle.

As soon as these two gentlemen appeared, the soldiers of the second and third squads felt relieved and their morale was greatly boosted.

Once the battle started, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi ran forward without hesitation! Bravely shouldering the burden of breaking through the battle!

After the baptism of the Iga attack and defense battle a while ago, Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Ichi and others have accumulated a lot of valuable experience on the issue of "how to lead the team".

So, under their continuous attacks, the left wing of the Tenchu ​​group quickly collapsed.

Funny enough, most of the casualties of the second and third squads were not killed by the enemy, but abnormal deaths.

For example: accidentally fell and was stepped on by the comrades behind.

Another example: because of the heat, he took off the light green feathers, so he was mistaken for an enemy by his comrades and suffered accidental injuries.

The battle situation was one-sided, and it had reached such a situation.

Almost at the same time when the left wing of the Tenchu ​​group collapsed, its right wing also collapsed.

The troops that the right wing of the Tenchu ​​group faced were the left wing of the Shinsengumi, that is, the first and fourth squads.

In other words, they will face the famous genius (Souji) and the famous thug (Serizawa Duck) of the Shinsengumi...

From a certain perspective, it is not easy for them to hold on until now before collapsing.

The left and right wings were like snow blocks poured with hot water, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only the central army still struggling to hold on.

The troops that the central army of the Tenchu ​​group (the Totsukawa samurai corps) faced were the 5th, 6th, and 8th divisions of the Shinsengumi.

The Totsukawa samurai corps is indeed a world-famous militia organization.

Although they were also retreating step by step, they did not collapse and were still resisting in an orderly manner.

However... from the current situation, their struggling to hold on is not a good thing...

After defeating their respective opponents, the left and right wings of the Shinsengumi took advantage of the situation to detour to the center.

In a short while, they arrived at the left and right sides of the samurai corps respectively, forming a double-sided situation against them!

If you look down from above, the entire battlefield at this time is like a huge "U" shape.

The central army of the Shinsengumi is the arc below the "U", and the left and right wings are the lines on both sides of the "U" respectively.

As for the samurai corps, they were trapped in the middle of the "U"!

They were sandwiched on three sides!

Such a situation is exactly what Qing Deng expected to see!

The reason why he placed the most elite 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th squads on the two wings was to quickly cut off the wings of the Tianzhu Group, and then let the various troops hunt in the center.

Throughout history, there are only a handful of troops that can fight back when they are attacked from three sides.

Obviously, the Rural Corps is not such a strong army.

No matter how strong their willpower is, no matter how hard they fight in spirit, there is a limit.

Soon, the formation of the Rural Corps gradually became an avalanche - large pieces collapsed, fell, and then rushed away!

The rural soldiers screamed in fear, pushed, squeezed, and fled, and no longer had the will and fighting spirit.

There were enemies in front and on both sides.

The only direction they could choose to escape was behind them.

"..."

Yoshimura Toratarou's expression... just using words such as "stunned" and "lost soul" to describe it is not enough.

The shock and impact he endured is not over yet!

For him, the real nightmare is still to come.

Suddenly, the neighing of war horses came from afar.

Yoshimura Toratarou turned his head mechanically and looked - a large cavalry team rushed straight towards him.

The leader was majestic and held a terrifying long spear.

That's right! Qingdeng's formation is the classic Battle of Cannae! The Tianzhu group is really too weak, and they didn't even make it through one chapter.
