Red Moon Fortress, inner city wall——

Chanup returned to the inner city wall as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the inner and outer city walls, which had just been quiet for a short time, became noisy again.

The archers ran up the inner city wall.

The soldiers responsible for close combat also stepped onto the outer city wall and took up their positions.

In the past few days, they have been picking up the equipment left behind by the Japanese soldiers, and then leaving these equipment for the soldiers on the outer city wall to wear.

After nearly three days of "exchanging shotguns for cannons," a considerable number of soldiers on the outer city wall have already put on the armor of Japanese soldiers and used the long spears of Japanese soldiers.

In order to avoid being accidentally injured by one's own people, the breastplates of all the armors that were "used for one's own purposes" were painted red.

As soon as he returned to the inner city wall, Chanup saw Lin Ziping who seemed to have just arrived.

"Mr. Chanup, you are here." Lin Ziping took the lead and said to Chanup, who came first. "The Aizu army will launch another attack earlier than we thought."

"and……"

Speaking of this, Lin Ziping showed a worried expression and looked at the Aizu army that had almost completed their formation outside the city.

"I hope it's just my illusion... I always feel that the atmosphere of the Aizu Army at this time... is weird..."

Chanup then turned his attention to the Aizu army that was still gathering and arraying outside the city.

"... No matter what happens to the Japanese troops outside the city, what we have to do remains the same -" Chanup said in a deep voice, "Drive down all the Japanese who climbed up."

"...Yeah." Lin Ziping nodded gently, "You are right..."

…

…

Red Moon Fortress, outside the city——

"Kamao-sama and Hirata-sama are ready.", "Mori-sama is also in place."...

Pu Sheng crossed his arms across his chest and listened quietly to the reports coming one after another.

Kamao naturally knew exactly what generals were under his Aizu army and what tasks each general had.

After listening to the last report and confirming the generals and the troops in their respective positions, Pu Sheng nodded: "...Very good."

He lowered his arms across his chest, then put his right hand on his beloved sword - Lei, which was on his left waist, and walked up to it, and slowly pulled it out.

The biggest difference in appearance between a tachi and a tachi is that the length of a tachi is generally longer than that of a tachi, and the curvature of the tachi is generally larger than that of a tachi.

Kamao's favorite sword named "Raizaku" has a blade length of nearly 77cm.

After he slowly pulled out Lei Zai and raised it above his head, Lei Zai reflected a blue light with a somewhat coquettish aura under the sunlight.

This astonishing length and this breathtaking cold light directly attracted the attention of everyone around it.

"I am a general - Pu Sheng prison line!"

Pu Sheng shouted as loudly as he could.

It's a pity that Kamou is not the kind of person with a loud voice. His voice cannot reach the ears of all Aizu generals. Only the few hundred people closest to Kamou can hear Kamou's voice clearly.

"Your respective commanders should have told you just now, right? I will personally lead the charge in this afternoon's battle!"

As soon as Pu Sheng finished speaking, those who heard Pu Sheng's voice clearly cast their fiery gazes in the direction of Pu Sheng.

At this time, the Aizu generals were quite excited.

Because just now, they received news that their general Pu Shenglaoxing was going to personally participate in this afternoon's battle, and he still took the lead in the charge.

No matter how the times develop, it is a very inspiring and morale thing for a normally aloof general to charge forward personally.

What's more, the one who personally led the charge was Pu Sheng, who was well-liked by the generals and had the same food and clothing expenses as ordinary soldiers.

"Samurai of Aizu! Follow me soon!"

"Samurai of Aizu! Show the bravery of Aizu with me!"

"Samurai of Aizu! Join me in capturing this fortress!"

Of these three sentences Pu Sheng said, the last one was almost yelled.

After he shouted these three powerful words, the surrounding generals with him as the center of the circle burst into cheers and shouts like mountains and tsunamis.

Then, the shouting quickly spread, and all the Aizu generals, whether they had heard Kamou's words just now or not, cheered loudly.

This is also normal on the battlefield - because information transmission is extremely inconvenient, most generals can only "imitate". When others call you, you will often follow them, even if you don't know what the other people are doing.

What are you shouting?

After the cheers around him subsided a little, Pu Sheng slashed down the thunderous sword that he had been holding high, pointing directly at the sky.

"Follow me!!"

…

…

Red Moon Fortress, inner city wall——

"What is that..." Lin Ziping muttered in a deep voice while looking at the front of the Aizu Army that was already rushing towards them - there was a very abrupt "small group" at the front of the Aizu Army.

”.

To the left and right of this "small group" were several sturdy soldiers. In their hands were iron shields that were extremely rare in the Japanese army and could not be used by ordinary generals.

These soldiers holding iron shields formed an "iron ball" to intercept all flying arrows.

A soldier at the rear of this "small group" was carrying an iron shield in one hand and a military flag embroidered with "Aizu Miki" in the other.

Lin Ziping instantly concluded that there must be some big shot personally leading the charge. This big shot is now inside this "iron ball" and is being strictly protected.

Lin Ziping noticed that there must be some big shot inside that "iron ball", and Chanup, who was standing next to him, also noticed this.

Lin Ziping originally wanted to order the musketeers not far away to "concentrate fire on that 'iron ball'," but unexpectedly Chanup's reaction was faster than him.

"Shoot those who are running at the front carrying iron shields!" Chanup ordered the musketeers.

Although Chanup's reaction was already very fast, it was a pity that the "iron ball" was traveling too fast.

Because Kamao personally participated in the battle, the morale of the Aizu army increased greatly, so they even ran faster. Even if the "iron ball" was very fast, the generals at the rear could barely catch up.

And the flintlocks of Chanupu and others are all smoothbore guns. The smoothbore gun is not the kind of gun that can be pointed and hit. If you use a smoothbore flintlock to shoot long-distance targets, whether you can hit a target depends on luck...

…

Therefore - even though Chanup had quickly ordered to focus fire on the "iron ball", until the "iron ball" reached the bottom of the outer city wall, only two bullets successfully hit the target.

These two bullets could only barely penetrate the iron shield, injuring the guard who was resisting the shield, but not the "big man" who was heavily protected.

The "big shot" who was heavily protected was naturally Pu Sheng who personally led the charge.

Under the protection of the guards, after arriving at the base of the outer city wall safely and soundly, the soldiers who followed quickly set up the long ladder.

After the long ladder was built, he grabbed the long ladder with one hand and carried his mine with the other hand. Like an agile ape, he seemed to be gliding along the long ladder and was the first to "slide" up the city wall.

"Quick! Someone is coming up!"

"Kick him down!"

"Stab it down!"

…

The soldiers on the outer city wall reacted quickly.

After nearly three days of fierce fighting, they gradually got used to how to fight and how to efficiently knock down the enemy soldiers who climbed up the city wall.

Before Pu Sheng showed up, four soldiers formed a fan shape, pointing their spears at the mouth of the long ladder, ready to stab Pu Sheng down as soon as he showed up.

Their plan is very beautiful.

It's a pity - they misjudged the strength of the incoming enemy...

Pu Sheng appeared from behind the city wall as they wished, and the four soldiers immediately stabbed him with their spears.

But as soon as they thrust the spears in their hands forward, they saw a horizontal sword flash in front of them.

Pu Sheng waved his thunder and walked away.

The light of the swords passing horizontally knocked away the spearheads of the four of them in one breath, and their offensive was thus disintegrated.

Pu Sheng kicked off his feet and took this opportunity to quickly jump onto the city wall.

The four warriors saw several more rays of sword light - and this time the light of swords was no longer the spears sweeping towards them, but towards them...

These four warriors were all wearing ashigaru armor that they had just changed into, so Kamao did not choose to attack their bodies, but specifically slashed at those parts of their bodies that were not protected by the armor.

I saw Pu Sheng swinging four knives in a row. He obviously swung the knives 4 times one after another, but because the knives were too fast, it looked like the four soldiers were hit by the knife at the same time and fell down.

The first person to climb the city wall was their general Kamao - this was an extraordinary boost to the morale of the Aizu generals.

The Aizu generals cheered and swarmed up the outer wall like a swarm of ants along the long ladder.

"Follow me!!" After shouting this sentence with all his strength, Pu Sheng flicked the thunder in his hand, and after shaking off the blood of the four soldiers just stained on the blade, he rushed towards the Red Moon Fortress closest to him.
