Chapter 734 Qing Deng Kills the General! Kills 2000 Levels! Shinsengumi Wins a Great Victory! [4800]
"Moo moo moo moo moo--!"
The carrot roared.
The warhorse (cow) first took small steps, and then gradually accelerated.
The "dong dong dong" sound of the horse (cow) hooves hitting the ground was like drums and thunder.
In the infantry resistance line, the cavalry wandered outside the battlefield, and when the enemy's formation was obviously shaken, the cavalry went on the field to harvest and expand the results of the battle-this was a tried and tested tactic in the feudal era.
Qing Deng used this trick to deal with the Tianzhu Group.
He personally led the 7th and 10th squads and waited in the woods on the east side of the battlefield.
The reason why he deployed the military camp here was because there was a forest nearby that was very suitable for hiding cavalry.
While other troops were fighting on the front line, the soldiers of the 7th and 10th squads collectively waited in this forest, silently waiting for Qing Deng's next order.
Qing Deng climbed up the tallest tree and used a telescope to observe the battlefield in the distance. At such a long distance, it was difficult to get the accurate situation of the battle with only the gift of "Fire Eyes +5".
Squatting on the tree trunk and looking at the battlefield with Qing Deng were the captains of the 7th and 10th squads, Sanako and Harada Sanosuke.
Harada Sanosuke was born as a lower-level samurai and had been jumping around in the countryside since he was a child.
He was familiar with climbing trees, swimming, fishing, and taking bird eggs.
On the other hand, Sanako... she had no experience in this area.
As a young lady of a samurai family who grew up in the city, when had she ever done such a rude thing?
She used her hands and feet and tried many times, but the final result was the same - she slid back to the ground after climbing a few steps.
Such an embarrassing scene made her face flushed with embarrassment.
As a last resort, Qing Deng could only carry her on his back, like a koala carrying its cub, and carried her up the tree.
After seeing the left wing of the Tenchu group begin to collapse, Sanako suggested to Qingdeng:
"Jujun, are you going to the battle?"
Qingdeng shook his head:
"No, it's not time yet."
After a while, the right wing of the Tenchu group also began to collapse, and Sanako suggested to Qingdeng again:
"Jujun, is it time to go out?"
Qingdeng shook his head again:
"No, wait a little longer."
Qingdeng shook his head again and again, making Sanako couldn't help but ask back:
"Jujun, when exactly should we wait to attack?"
Qingdeng replied indifferently:
"The rebels on the left and right wings are just a group of insignificant pawns."
"Even if they are all killed, there is no benefit."
"If you want to kill, kill more valuable targets."
"My target has been decided long ago."
As he said this, Qingdeng raised his sight and stared straight at the large flag with the "Ring Ten Seals" painted on it on the battlefield of the central army.
Sanako immediately understood Qingdeng's intention, so he stopped talking.
As soon as the Tianzhu Group arrived here, Qing Deng immediately issued an attack order.
Since it was an encounter battle, Qing Deng certainly didn't know the Tianzhu Group's deployment.
However, just when the battle was about to start, Qing Deng suddenly discovered that the Tianzhu Group's central army was flying a large flag with the "Ling Shi Yin".
Ling Shi Yin... This is the flag of the Tojinchuan Rural Corps!
After seeing this flag, Qing Deng immediately understood: The Tojinchuan Rural Corps is in the central army!
In an instant, he determined his goal.
Just as Qing Deng said just now, those so-called "Zunyang Zhishi" are insignificant at all.
Whether they are dead or alive, Qing Deng feels indifferent from the bottom of his heart.
However, the Tojinchuan Rural Corps is not the case.
Qing Deng has long been dissatisfied with this semi-independent militia.
Due to complex historical reasons, Tojinchuan has always been a semi-independent administrative region, and the rural gentry in its territory are a group of unruly guys.
They only respect the imperial court and do not listen to the orders of the shogunate, so naturally they do not take Qing Deng seriously.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
If they just lie dormant and do not jump out to make trouble, then Qing Deng will tolerate it.
This time, these guys actually openly fought with him!
This is intolerable!
If we bypass them this time, who can guarantee that they will not make trouble again next time?
In any case, this is an armed force with nearly a thousand troops, which cannot be ignored.
This kind of hidden danger that occurs at irregular intervals must be eliminated as soon as possible!
There can only be one highest military commander in the Gyeonggi region! That is me, Tachibana Qing Deng Shengqing!
So, Qing Deng made up his mind-the primary goal of this battle is to completely annihilate the samurai corps of Totsukawa!
Take this opportunity to completely eliminate this unstable factor!
If the 960 samurai gathered here are all killed, then Totsukawa will not be able to recover in at least the next 10 years!
Compared with this, all other targets - including Yoshimura Toratarou's head - had to stand back.
Anyway, Yoshimura Toratarou and others were just a bunch of clowns, and it would be easy to kill them.
Therefore, Qing Deng was completely unmoved by the collapse of the left and right wings of the Tenchu Group.
His eyes were always fixed on the central battlefield.
Until the left, center, and right armies of the Shinsengumi completed the encirclement of the rural samurai corps, and the latter finally began to collapse, Qing Deng finally jumped down from the tree and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, draw your swords, and get on your horses!"
As soon as this order came out, the soldiers of the 7th and 10th squads in the woods scrambled to get on their horses.
At the same time, the sound of "clang", "clang", "clang" of drawing swords startled countless flying birds.
With the changes of the times, the functions of cavalry are constantly changing.
For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, because stirrups had not yet been invented, the main function of cavalry was to be used for reconnaissance and transmission.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the advent of stirrups and the rapid development of metallurgical technology, heavy cavalry began to dominate the battlefield.
Nowadays, firearms have become the absolute king on the battlefield.
In the era of firearms, cavalry no longer need to bear the heavy task of breaking through the enemy's formation, and their main responsibilities have become to detect the enemy and harvest the remaining enemies.
Therefore, their main weapons are no longer bulky spears, but more flexible swords.
According to Qing Deng's plan, when a stable channel for purchasing firearms is found in the future, the Shinsengumi will be transformed into a firearms unit.
In this case, the cavalry should be built according to the standards of firearms units.
There are two main types of weapons used by cavalry units in Western countries today.
One is the cavalry sword, and the other is the saber.
In horse battles, is it better to use a sword or a saber? This question has caused a wide range of discussions in the Western world.
In this regard, Qing Deng personally advocates the saber.
Compared with a straight sword, a curved blade is easier to chop.
With the inertia of a horse running, gently swinging a saber can harvest lives like mowing grass.
Coincidentally, there was a knife in Japanese history that was specifically used for horse battles.
That is the katana!
The katana was popular in the Heian period and the Kamakura shogunate period.
To this day, although the katana still exists in the world, it has basically become a ceremonial vessel.
When those big men attend some grand ceremonies, they often hang the katana around their waists to show off.
Compared with the katana, the katana is longer and has a larger arc, which is indeed an excellent weapon for horse battles.
So Qing Deng finally decided to choose the katana as the main weapon of the Shinsengumi Cavalry Team!
As the katana was unsheathed, the shining silver light illuminated the woods.
Qing Deng stood in front with a long spear in hand.
Sanako and Harada Sanosuke stood on his left and right sides respectively.
Long spear, naginata, short gun - looking at the three weapons in front of the formation, the knights of the 7th and 10th squads all felt relieved and encouraged.
"Follow me closely!"
Qing Deng kicked the cow's belly, and with a series of loud "moo moo" cow calls, a strong headwind came towards him in an instant!
Three commanders, two squads, and more than 500 cavalrymen rushed out of the woods one after another, and the vision suddenly became clear.
During the gallop, the knights switched positions in an orderly manner.
Some people speeded up and moved forward.
Some people slowed down and fell behind.
After a while, a huge "wedge" was formed.
Qing Deng, Sanako and Harada Sanosuke were naturally at the tip of the wedge.
Five hundred cavalrymen charged at the same time... Looking back at the history of Japan, this country has not seen such a magnificent scene for a long time!
The sound of horse (cow) hooves like a torrential rain, with overwhelming force, directly approached the defeated samurai army!
Looking at this cavalry team that suddenly came, the samurai were all shocked.
The appearance of Qing Deng and others was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
At this point, the samurai, who had already lost their morale, completely lost the will to resist.
They fled in panic, fearing that they would fall behind, and some of them even lost their weapons.
However... it is easy to imagine that how could a two-legged person run faster than a four-hoofed horse (cow)?
Because the front and left and right sides were blocked by other Shinsengumi troops, the only direction the samurai could choose to escape was behind them.
The escape direction was single and the speed was slow, so Qing Deng and others easily caught up with them.
In an instant, the two sides met!
As soon as the cavalry rushed into the dense enemy group, they immediately cut out a dark red arc!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and there were constant cries.
Qing Deng swung the long spear in his hand, and saw the long and sharp spear tip draw a circular arc in the air, sweeping down 5 people in one breath.
When he swung it again, there was another pile of broken pieces of meat on the ground.
Then, Qing Deng secretly exerted his strength, using his waist and abdomen to exert force - the talent "Elephant Core +9", activated - using waist strength to drive the long spear.
In a blink of an eye, the long spear shook out an incredible curve.
No one was spared where the curve passed.
Qing Deng's skillful wielding of the long spear made Sanako beside him look surprised and asked:
"Tachibana-kun, have you learned spearmanship recently?"
Qing Deng smiled and responded without turning his head:
"Yeah, I guess so."
When he was sparring with Tojo Shintaro a while ago, Qing Deng secretly learned a lot of spearmanship skills from him with the blessing of his talents "Spear Talent" and "Devil's Heart +5".
For this reason, his spearmanship skills have greatly increased.
Both the skills of holding the long spear and the strength of wielding the long spear are more sophisticated than before.
No longer swinging it randomly with brute force as usual.
In this way, not only the attack efficiency is improved, but also more physical strength is saved.
Although they cannot be compared with Qing Deng, Sanako and Harada Sanosuke's sturdiness and bravery also make the enemy tremble.
A sweep of the naginata brought down a large number of people.
A single thrust of the short spear killed or wounded a large number of people.
The two weapons danced up and down, defending Qing Deng's left and right sides tightly, protecting his blind spot.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of Aoto, Sanako and Harada Sanosuke alone is enough to cause heavy casualties to the country soldiers!
Some of them had their heads cut off with naginata; some had their bellies pierced by short spears; and some were even more miserable because they were forced to pick up Aoshinobu's Nagasaki, so they ended up with "their bodies torn apart".
With these three men "leading by example", the cavalry team's offense is even more powerful!
The villagers screamed in terror, pushing and squeezing each other.
Not to mention fighting against it, it was too late to dodge!
Chasing the defeated enemy army... there is probably no easier battle in the world than this.
Countless people were knocked into the air by war horses (oxen), and when they landed, they were trampled into pulp by horse hooves (oxen hooves) or the soles of their comrades who were eager to escape.
And more people died under the sword.
Because the Shinsengumi's cavalry team had just been established and had not been trained for a long time, the knights of the seventh and tenth divisions made a lot of fools of themselves.
For example: after cutting the sword into the enemy's body, because there was no time to close the sword, under the action of inertia, he fell off the horse with the sword.
Another example: the angle of the sword is not good, and the sword in the hand becomes a disposable weapon. After the sword is struck out, it is too late to take it back, and the blade remains directly in the enemy's body.
The cavalry was the most technologically powerful branch of the ancient society.
How to accurately shoot out and retract the weapon while the horse is galloping at high speed... This is an extremely difficult technical task.
However, no matter what, using cavalry to defeat infantry, and using strong troops with high morale to defeat weak soldiers who are running away, even if there is a slight situation, it will not cause any harm.
Under the command of Qingdeng, the cavalry was invincible, sometimes moving to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes fighting out of the enemy group, and sometimes fighting back in.
Just like driving a flock of sheep, beat the defeated soldiers as you like.
Kill wherever there are many people.
Wherever there is resistance, kill!
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly heard noisy noises not far away.
Looking up - there is a small group of villagers still resisting.
The commander of this group of survivors and resisters is none other than Susumu Hori, the leader of the Roshi Corps.
"Don't be afraid! Follow me! Come with me!"
He integrated the country soldiers who were still capable of fighting and desperately broke out.
Even though he was as confident as he was, he would not dare to say anything about "defeating the Shinsengumi" in the face of the current tragic situation.
At this time, he no longer had the same heroic spirit as when he shouted "Kill!" and led the army of country soldiers directly into the Shinsengumi army formation.
At this time, he had a look of panic on his face, and there was only one thought left in his mind: escape! Live!
Qingteng stared directly at Yoshinori Hori - with just one glance, he was sure that this man was the leader of the rural warriors.
In an instant, he suddenly tightened the reins in his hands, turned the bull's head, and rushed straight towards Yuhori!
Ta-ta-ta, tap-ta, tap-ta, tap-ta... Listening to the sound of hooves getting closer and closer, Horijishin followed the sounds with an expression of panic - he met Aomori's eyes.
In addition to Qingdeng's cold eyes, what caught his eyes was the long tree raised high...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-!!"
Yohori no Susumu let out a frightened and emboldened scream, and subconsciously raised his sword to block.
As a result, he had just raised the knife halfway when a straight silver line of light passed over his neck.
The sound was very much like the sound of cutting a cloth bag, and a good man's head flew into the sky.
Qingdeng flexibly flipped his right wrist to control the lever.
Before Hori Noshin's head could fall, Aoto picked it up on the top of a tree.
"The enemy general has been captured by me!!"
While roaring like this, he stretched his arms as much as possible so that more people could see the bloody and still warm head.
When some of the villagers heard Seito's roar, they turned around to look - looking at the heads of Susumu Hori, their expressions were dominated by intense horror, and they almost fell to the ground.
In fact, there is no big difference whether Qingdeng is the leader of the Zhanxiangshi Army.
After all, this legion has already completely collapsed, its morale has dropped to freezing point, and there is no lower limit.
…
…
This one-sided pursuit and annihilation battle lasted for nearly two hours.
After fighting until the men are tired and the horses are exhausted, the Shinsengumi will stop the pursuit.
Just like the Iga offensive and defensive battle last time, this battle took only half a day to decide the outcome.
The Tenchu team suffered a disastrous defeat! Leave the corpses on the ground and the minions running around!
Because today's battle took place in Chengshang County, Qingdeng named it "Chengshang Joint Battle".
That night, Qingdeng sent Shannan Keisuke to tally the results of the battle.
Due to the extremely fruitful results, it took Shannan Keisuke less than half an hour to finally figure out the reason.
According to reports, a total of 2,000 coins were leveled in this battle! Captured the "Hisoshi Seal" flag of the Totsukawa Goshi Regiment and a large amount of baggage!
The Totsukawa Goshi Army was completely destroyed! There is not one survivor in a hundred!
The strategic objectives were successfully achieved.
After this battle, it can be said that every household in Totsukawa wore mourning and every household was covered with sackcloth!

There is really no point in unilaterally abusing food. The next offensive and defensive battle of Gaochei City is the focus ~ As expected, Qingden still has to be chopped and chopped to make it exciting!
