Chapter 961: Young Master Deng! The Battle Situation Is Reversed! [4900]

Harada Sanosuke looked up at Edo, his expression sank:

"Are we late?"

Qing Deng replied softly:

"No, we barely caught up. Listen, the shouting and killing have not stopped, and Edo has not fallen yet."

Just as Qing Deng and Harada Sanosuke were observing the current situation in Edo side by side, behind them, the 7th and 10th divisions of the Shinsengumi and the Aizu Iron Cavalry were stepping up to deploy their ranks and arrange their formations!

The shouts and neighs of people were heard continuously.

The cavalrymen shuttled back and forth quickly but not chaotically, rushing to various designated positions, like silk threads of weaving cloth, gradually weaving a strict and tight formation.

The formation they arranged was the most classic charge formation in cavalry tactics - the wedge formation!

Three days ago, after breaking through the blockade of the special forces and successfully occupying Sekigahara, Qing Deng kept summoning the cavalry.

He handed the exhausted infantry to Kondo Isami and asked him to lead the infantry who could still move to chase and suppress the remnants of the special forces.

He led the cavalry and began to march eastward! Rush to Edo!

Horses have poor endurance. In a long-distance race, horses can't even outrun humans.

Therefore, before rushing on the road, Qing Deng specially requisitioned all the horses that could be requisitioned to ensure that each cavalryman had a configuration of "one man and two horses" or "one man and three horses".

For this reason, he even requisitioned the pack horses of the logistics troops that were specially used to carry supplies.

According to Qing Deng's plan, they will go east along the Donghai Street, where the infrastructure is the most mature, and arrive in Edo within 3 days!

Along the way, they really squeezed out the physical strength of both people and horses.

When eating, they just ate some dry food on the horse's back.

The rest time was compressed to the extreme, and they would not rest if they could not rest.

If they rested, it must be because both people and horses had reached their limits. If they went forward, there would definitely be non-combat casualties, so they had to slow down.

Although this way of marching was terrible, the results were also remarkable - they successfully achieved Qing Deng's predetermined goal! It took only 3 days to successfully cross the entire Tokai Street and arrive in Edo!

"My lord, the 7th Division is ready!"

The vice-captain of the 7th Division, Nakazawa Koto, held her naginata and rode behind Qing Deng.

Then, the vice-captain of the 10th Division, Matsubara Tadashi, also came behind Qing Deng:

"My lord, the 10th Division is also ready!"

After these two, the third general - Aizu Domain's elder, Sagawa Kanbei - also

"General Tachibana, we Aizu Iron Cavalry are only waiting for your order!"

Because cavalry could not be used in mountain warfare, in the second Battle of Sekigahara, the Aizu Iron Cavalry, like the 7th and 10th Divisions, stayed in the main camp and could not be dispatched.

Other comrades were fighting bloody battles on the front line and earning military exploits, while they were doing nothing in the rear... This feeling is a torment for everyone who desires fame.

Especially the Aizu cavalrymen who came to help as guest troops felt depressed.

In the "Iga Civil Rebellion" a year ago, Sagawa Kanbei's light soldiers advanced recklessly, causing heavy losses to his Aizu cavalrymen.

Since then, the Aizu cavalrymen led by Sagawa Kanbei have been eager to restore their reputation on the battlefield and restore their honor.

After a long wait, the long-awaited opportunity to fight is finally in front of them... At this moment, they are eager to fight, and can't wait to vent the nameless anger that has accumulated in their hearts on the enemy!

It is worth mentioning that Sagawa Kanbei is no longer as domineering in front of Qing Deng.

Such a change is natural.

Qing Deng was not a daimyo at the time, and his Shinsengumi had only a hundred people, and he had to borrow troops from the Aizu domain to quell the civil rebellion.

But now, the situation is different.

Whether in terms of the size of the territory or the position of the official, Qing Deng is far superior to Matsudaira Yoshiyasu, the lord of Sagawa Kanbei.

Even Matsudaira Yoshiyasu, the lord of Aizu Domain, could not act rashly in front of Qing Deng, let alone Sagawa Kanbei?

No matter how arrogant he was, he dared not show off in front of Qing Deng, let alone disobey his orders.

At present, he was as obedient as a clingy kitten in front of Qing Deng, without any rebellious behavior.

"..."

Qing Deng turned his head silently and looked at the generals and soldiers behind him.

His sight first swept across the faces of Harada Sanosuke, Aizawa Koto, Matsubara Tadashi and Sagawa Kanbei, and then across the faces of other soldiers.

All the generals and soldiers looked at him in unison.

Excited, expectant, nervous... a bunch of eyes with different emotions focused on him.

In a moment, Qing Deng spoke:

"At this point, I only have one thing to say--"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly tightened the reins in his hand.

Luobo understood and raised his two front hooves, letting out a low roar.

"Follow me! Bloodbath the enemy! Drive out all the enemies in front of us!"

After roaring, he kicked the cow's belly hard.

The next moment, Luobo spread his four hooves and rushed out!

At the moment of charging, a strong headwind blew, and the sleeves of the feather woven rustled.

"Follow the lord!"

Harada Sanosuke roared, then leaned on the saddle and raised his gun, becoming the first sergeant to follow Qing Deng.

Then came the second, third, fourth... The grim formation slowly started! Gradually accelerating!

The big flag with "honor to die, shame to live" and the big flag with the word "sincerity" followed Qing Deng closely, rustling!

Thousands of cavalry rushed down the hillside, and their momentum was so huge that it looked like thunder and tsunami!

Edo, Atago, the main formation of the Edo defenders—

The military information reports compiled from various places have never stopped, and have been sent to Katsura Taro Katsura.

In order to deal with and analyze these military situations, Katsura Taro was already in a state of great anxiety.

Although he made extremely careful preparations before the war, the frequent occurrence of emergencies still disrupted his combat plan.

After hearing that Tokugawa Ishima and Tenzhangyuan personally led the guards to reinforce Akasaka Mitsuka and Akasaka Mitsuka were blown up by enemy explosives, he almost fell to the ground.

There is no doubt that the enemy has placed its main force in Akasaka Mitsuka.

Akasaka's secret attachment has been reduced to ruins, which means that the "Thirty-Six Distinction" - this crucial line of defense - has been broken through.

The gateway to Edo Castle is wide open, and the enemy must have already entered the city!

After recovering from his senses, Katsurain Taro kept muttering:

"Reinforcements...reinforcements must be sent...!"

Although he was extremely anxious, he had nothing else to do except to circulate on the spot like an ant in a hot pan.

In order to defend Edo, he had already used his few troops to the extreme.

He has no reserve team available at all!

There were no reinforcements to send... In desperation, he even picked up his sword and prepared to lead more than ten guards around him to reinforce Edo Castle.

Just as his face was gloomy and he was thinking about countermeasures, a messenger rushed over in three steps and stammered to Taro Katsura:

"Sir, Victory, Victory, Victory! There is a situation! There is a situation!"

When Katsurari Taro heard this, he changed his face and asked anxiously:

"What's wrong?"

He subconsciously thought that it was another bad news and was mentally prepared to "suffer a major blow."

But unexpectedly, the news sent by the messenger this time was good news - and it was extraordinary good news.

"Sir Sheng! Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming to the west! I saw the Cheng flag!"

Katsura Taro was like petrified, dazed in place.

Of course, this "petrochemical state" is only temporary.

After about 3 seconds, he forced his feet, which were stuck to the ground, to leave the ground.

After taking the first step, the next thing is simple.

But he saw him leaping quickly and rushing to a good view in one breath, looking out, and looking west.

In the wilderness west of Edo, dust and smoke surged like waves.

This is the dust raised by the horse's hooves.

An astonishing cavalry team was galloping towards Edo and towards the battlefield!

With his good eyesight, Katsura Taro clearly saw the light green onion clothes, the particularly conspicuous flag of the character "Mao", and the young warrior riding a cow and carrying a spear.

"……Ha ha."

Suddenly, Katsura Taro smiled.

He grinned and let out a "hahaha" stupor, laughing and crying, with tears of excitement in his eyes.

"You boy is finally here...!"

Edo, Edo Castle, Minomaru—

After Shuitun Boy and others came out, only Katsuko Goro was the one who took the lead.

Now, the hope of winning depends entirely on Shuitun Boy.

The current task of Katsukogoro is to hold Mianomaru's defenders tightly and prevent this large defenders from retreating, in case they hinder Shuitun Boyko and others.

"Don't be discouraged! Grip your teeth and hold it back! What you are fighting for now is perseverance!"

In order to boost morale, he pulled out the Saber Masato from his waist and went to the front line in person.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the dull sound of "rumble".

It sounded like a dull thunder. Gui Xiaowuro subconsciously looked up at the sky. The pale and distant sky came into his eyes. Although the sky was very bad, it didn't seem like it would rain.

Rumble...

The "punching thunder" is still making noise, and it seems that the sound is getting closer and closer.

——Do you say…? !

He suddenly thought of a possibility, his face turned pale, and cold sweat appeared from his forehead.

Out of instinctive evasion, he tried hard to persuade himself that it was "impossible" and "it was impossible for them to arrive here so quickly and in time."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

With his tenacious heart, he was able to barely remain calm - he could do so, not that others could do the same.

After a while, more and more people heard the strange sound.

"Hey, is there any strange sound?"

"Is this... the sound of horse hooves?"

"What a strong movement! It's a big cavalry! There's absolutely no mistake! It's a big cavalry!"

"Cabinet? How could there be cavalry?!"

"It should be, should it be..."

"Shut up! This is impossible!"

The panic atmosphere was spreading... After hearing the dull sound that looked like a "cavalry charge", many people guessed the reason.

However, due to fear, no one dared to say that possibility.

At this moment, someone plucked up the high place and looked westward by the sound - the next moment, he screamed in horror.

Immediately afterwards, he shouted out the name that made countless patriots feel scared:

"The light onion-colored Hayao...Makoto flag...New selection group! It's a new selection group!!"

Edo Castle, Honmaru—

The boy Shuitun rushed to Tianshou Pavilion while tightening the cloth strips on his neck.

This strip of cloth was just torn off his clothes.

The current situation of the war could not allow him to slowly stop bleeding and treat the wound, and at most he would tear a strip of cloth to tighten the wound.

The injury is the neck... It happens to be in such a troublesome position, and the cloth cannot be tied too tightly.

If he pierced too tightly, he would suffocate and die before he could kill Tokugawa Ishimashita.

For this reason, fresh blood has been spilling out, and the strips of cloth are dyed dark red in a short while.

——It’s still one step away...it’s just one step away...!

He raised his gaze and stared at the closer and closer Tianshou Pavilion.

In a while, he can kill Tokugawa Ishiki!

As long as Tokugawa Ishimatsu dies, "Amanuma Spear"... this great battle to attack half of Japan is completed!

Although this is just one step in the long journey, after killing Tokugawa Ishimatsu, there are countless battles waiting for them, and they have to go through countless hardships to build their ideal world, but they can kill Tokugawa Ishimatsu , undoubtedly a great progress!

As he was full of imagination and cheering himself up, his gaze suddenly became straight and his steps stopped.

"..."

The next breath, he turned his head silently back, looking into the distance - behind him was the West.

His eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of space and saw the huge cavalry team running wildly in the wilderness.

He pursed his lips, and the emotions in his eyes changed rapidly.

In a moment, he bit and murmured to himself:

"Everything goes wrong..."

Soon, Edo's street-machi came into view of Aodo and others.

Aoden divided the cavalry team into 5 teams - one team was led by him personally, and the other four teams were commanded by Harada Zuosuke, Nakazawa Kotoshi, Matsuhara General and Sagawa officers and soldiers, and attacked the E from different directions. household!

The task Qing Deng gave them is very simple: kill whenever you encounter an enemy!

Thanks to Katsura Taro's previous expansion of the streets and alleys of Edo Town, they were able to pour into the streets and towns of Edo without any obstacles.

While turning his eyelashes, Qingdeng encountered the first wave of enemy soldiers.

More than ten enemy soldiers stood in the middle of the street, looking at Qing Deng and others who suddenly appeared in horror, as if they were divine weapons falling from the sky.

Qing Deng silently erected the long spear in his hand.

The moment he caught the enemy, the growing spear swept out! Slashed two heads with just one blow!

He waved his long spear easily and cut out blood arcs easily.

At the same time, the carrot under his crotch is also killing the enemy.

"Eyes! Eyes!"

Radish growled, lowered his head slightly, then picked up hard, picked up an unlucky guy away, and made him land on the roof of the street.

Qing Deng's fierce attack was just the beginning - the many cavalry behind him were the real killer move!

Rumble rumble!

Horse hooves hit the ground violently.

There is no need for the knights on the horse's back to take action. The collision of the war horses and the trampling of the horse's hooves are enough to destroy the enemy's soldiers.

They were like tsunami stones—and they were swallowed before they could struggle.

Qingdeng bit the reins in his mouth, swung his spears alternately with his two hands, and cut over each enemy soldier that appeared within his attack range.

Similar scenes also happen on the battlefield under the responsibility of others such as Zuosuke Harada, Kotoshi Nakazawa and others!

As soon as the newly selected group launched an attack, the situation immediately reversed!

The bloody battle between the Fauci coalition and the Edo defenders was a close match.

Until now, both sides have been exhausted and are determined to hold on with their willpower.

It's like a flat scale, adding weights to any side - no matter what weight it is - is enough to make the scale fall!

What's more, this piece of weight that was suddenly added was an extremely huge heavy weight!

Qingdeng rushed all the way and never stopped.

His goal is clear - the majestic Edo Castle.

Edo says it’s big and it’s small.

Under his straight sprint, the "Thirty-Six See" outside Edo Castle has already come into his eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him:

"Original General!Original General!"

An unknown young man rode his horse out of the diagonal thorn and galloped side by side with him.

"There are the messengers around Katsura Taro! I'll send you the orders!"

"General Okinawa, please go to Edo Castle to support it quickly! The enemy has already attacked the city! The situation is very critical!"

After hearing this, Qingdeng's expression trembled:

"Well, I know!"

After saying goodbye to the messenger, he kicked the cow's belly again, driving the radish to speed up - in fact, the radish had already tried his best and could not give out more strength.

Just as he was about to arrive at the "Thirty-Six See" he suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes - the figure of an old man.

Qingdeng turned his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the old man with disbelief... To be precise, he was looking at the corpse lying on the ground.

"Kondo...Master..."

Edo Castle, Honmaru, Tensou Pavilion—

Tokugawa Ishimaki, who had generally recovered his mind, sat upright on the main seat.

Tianzhangyuan and Elordi stood on the side with a serious expression.

The three of them stared at the door in front of them.

Outside the gate, there were constant shouts and killings.

Accompanied by the fierce shouts of killing, a foot sound gradually approached...
