Red Moon Fortress, outside the city, the Third Army (Aizu Army), main formation——

"Is this the Red Moon Fortress..." Kamao, who was not tall, stood in front of his horse, holding the sword at his waist with one hand and akimbo with the other.

"Except for the two walls, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it. In terms of ease of defense and difficulty of attack, it should not be as good as our Edo Castle." At this point, Kamao changed into a mocking tone, "Facing the

In such a fortress, how could the First Army achieve nothing for two consecutive days..."

"Heh, I thought that with the Sendai Clan's troops stationed in the First Army, its combat effectiveness wouldn't be much worse, but I didn't expect it to be like that."

After mentioning the "First Army", Pu Sheng's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to last night...

…

…

Last night——

"...Inamori-sama, I understand everything in detail."

Inamori's commander's tent was particularly crowded at this time - because this was the first time that the generals of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies gathered together since the troops officially set off for the expedition.

Compared with the First Army and the Second Army, the generals of the Third Army...or the Aizu Army seemed a little dusty.

However - despite the dusty life, without exception, they all looked resolute.

Just now, Inamori briefly and concisely explained his future battle plan to Kamao - Inamori, who did not want to spend more time on those barbarians, planned to let the Aizu army take over the "main attack" position.

After listening to the brief description of Inamori's order, Kamao gave the above answer without hesitation.

"...Can you really do it?" Although he expected that Kamio would agree without hesitation, Inamori couldn't help but asked Kamio, "Your Aizu army just conducted a forced march, right? I want you to march the next morning.

Wouldn’t it be too reluctant to participate in the attack?”

"No." Kamao replied without hesitation again, "This level is nothing to us Aizu people!"

"Inamori-sama, please feel free to leave it to us, Aizu!"

"I can't guarantee anything else."

"But I dare to guarantee that we, Aizu, will capture the outer wall of the Red Moon Fortress within one day!"

Pu Sheng's words caused an uproar in the coach's tent.

For the warriors who value reputation and bravery, Pu Sheng's heroic words attracted a lot of admiration.

But at the same time - it also attracted some strange looks and sneers.

"...Ha." A sneer sounded at an inappropriate time, "Lord Pu Sheng, I'd better remind you - the barbarians in that city are not easy to deal with."

"Their iron cannons are very powerful, and they now have a master who is good at defending the city to help. The outer wall of the Red Moon Fortress is not so easy to take down."

Kamio turned to look at the person who spoke - Kamio recognized him, he was a general of the Yonezawa clan.

After listening to this general's obviously harsh words, Pu Sheng was not annoyed.

He just twitched the corner of his mouth and let out a sneer.

"Then you just have to wait and see." Kamao's sneer turned into a confident smile, "see with your own eyes whether the prestige of our Aizu clan is built or blown out!"

After saying that, Pu Sheng patted the tachi on his waist - his favorite sword: Lei Zai.

…

…

Time returns to the present——

"Lord Kamao."

A calm and calm male voice suddenly entered Pu Sheng's ears, causing Pu Sheng's thoughts to get rid of memories and return to reality.

The person who spoke was one of Pu Sheng's cronies.

"All troops are in position." The confidant said slowly, "We can launch an attack at any time."

"Okay." Pu Sheng nodded gently, "Then - let's get started."

Pu Sheng put his hand on the length of the left waist, with an astonishing curvature of the tachi Lei Kao, slowly pulled it out, and raised it above his head.

"attack--!"

Pu Sheng struck the thunder in his palm downwards heavily, as if he was going to split the city in front of him in half from a distance.

…

…

Red Moon Fortress——

"Hey Mr. Lin." Reitannoe now also called Lin Ziping "Mr. Lin", "Is the army outside the city really so powerful?"

Just now, Lin Ziping suddenly summoned Retannoe and others through Chanup's mouth.

As soon as Retannoe and the others arrived, Lin Ziping told them bluntly that the Japanese army outside the city had replaced them with another army to attack them. And this new army was unusual.

It was impossible for Retannoe not to mutter about Lin Ziping suddenly speaking such an unexpected thing in such a serious tone.

As soon as Retannoe finished speaking, Lin Ziping said in a deep voice without thinking:

"It's very powerful. The army outside the city can be said to be famous in our 'Heren Land'..."

"Although I have never seen the fighting posture of this army with my own eyes."

"But to be relied upon so much by the Edo shogunate, and to have his reputation spread so quickly, he is probably not someone who does not live up to his reputation."

"In short - don't take it lightly!"

Lin Ziping's current expression was so solemn that it seemed to freeze the air around him, and the hearts of those around him could not help but tighten.

At this moment--

woo woo woo woo--!

Conch, which I have been used to hearing these days, suddenly struck everyone's eardrums at this moment.

"Are you here...!" Chanup, who was standing next to Lin Ziping, looked sullenly and turned his gaze to the troops holding "Aizu Sankuei" who were slowly moving outside the city with the sound of conch shells...

…

…

…

"Kazuto is coming! Kazuto is coming!"

"Ready! Everything is ready!"

"Just like the previous two days! Knock down everyone who climbed up!"

…

Speeches similar to this were heard constantly on the inner and outer city walls.

Lin Ziping had just asked Retannoe and others to spread the reminder throughout the inner and outer city walls that "the Heren outside the city are different from the past. They are elite troops among the Heren and should not be taken lightly."

However - many people still look complacent even after hearing this reminder.

The smooth battle in the previous two days gave everyone great encouragement and confidence.

Everyone's confidence in protecting their homeland is now at an all-time high.

Everyone believed that today, like the previous two days, they could make it impossible for Kazuto to even climb the city wall.

It's just that... it didn't take long for the "satisfaction" on some people's faces to slowly dissipate...

…

"Hey, the Kazuto outside...the movements are really different from the Kazuto before..."

"that is true……"

…

It has the highest height, the best view, and is also the first to launch an attack. The tribesmen on the inner city wall were the first to discover the difference between the Kazuto outside the city and the Kazuto in the past.

At this moment, the group of Japanese outside the city holding a unified military flag, carrying wooden shields, and under the cover of their own archers, rushed towards the outer city wall - although the march was fast, the order was not disorderly.

Soon, the Kazuto outside the city fought their way to the base of the outer city wall despite being covered by projectiles and arrows, set up a long ladder, and officially began to attack the Red Moon Fortress.

"Get out of here!" A young tribesman fiercely stabbed Kazuto with a spear in his hand, who had just climbed up the long ladder.

This young tribesman originally thought that he could stab the newly climbed Kazuto down just like he had stabbed countless Kazuto in the past two days - but the scene that appeared in front of him next made the young man unable to bear it.

Zhu Yin's eyes widened in astonishment.

I saw the Kazuto nimbly twisting to the side to avoid the spear, and then aimed at the tribesman who had not had time to put away the spear and chopped off the sword in his hand.

Unless you are a master of sword-wielding, the sword is not designed to "break armor", and it is impossible to cut through armor no matter what.

However - the Ainu happen to be a people without armor.

It may take a little more effort to cut through armor with a knife, but it's very useful when used to cut through flesh and blood.

I saw a slanting light passing over the young tribesman's body.
