In the early morning of May in Kyoto, there was a slight coolness. In the originally quiet highland, birds flew and jumped in fear and kept making fearful sounds. However, their sound was soon covered by tens of thousands of steps.

When the Zunwang Army began to march, Tadaeyoumon had already received a full map of the enemy's deployment and market information. Correspondingly, the shogunate army also made targeted preparations according to the enemy's deployment.

Just in case, two of the four cavalry brigades belonging to the Second Osaka Division immediately spread out.

When the Second Osaka Division was constructed, the shogunate had no Western military horses and it was purchased from France. Therefore, only 240 people and two brigades of cavalry were trained at that time. One was a standard lancer, used for assault. The other was a light cavalry, or a dragoon, equipped with sabers and carbines, for reconnaissance, harassment, and side attack.

Later, the cultivation of good horses gradually got on track, and the cavalry unit of the Second Osaka Division also expanded from two brigades to four brigades.

Now both light cavalry have been spread out, and the remaining two lancers are guarding nearby Tadaeyoumon and a group of ministers, acting as guards and reserves.

The highest military commander was of course Tadao Eimon. But Tadao Eimon knew very well how much he had. Without that diamond, he would never take on the job of porcelain. The actual command of the army was handed over to Eikawa Eitomoto, who had been studying in the UK for five years. After all, he led troops all year round and was familiar with the corps, so he must be better than Tadao Eimon who came to play in a micro-job.

"In terms of Jianxin, there are only 1,000 10,000 cavalry against the thief, and there is no commander, so it is not difficult to break it." Suzuki knew everything about the opposite side, but he had extraordinary confidence.

"It is not difficult or difficult, it is not your or me, but Taro Zuemon." Before the sky turned bright, Tachiyoumon could only see the vast and complicated area, and could not confirm the trace of the enemy.

According to Eikawa Eitomoto's suggestion, the troops left Fushimi Town and set up artillery positions for a while. Fushimi Town was all wooden houses, and once the war started, there were too many inconveniences. He was extremely confident in his men and horses, so he naturally sought to defeat the mobs of Zunwang Army in the wild waves.

Moreover, he didn't know that there was an insider on the other side, so he was so confident, which shows that the morale of the army of the teaching team was available!

"There are many thieves and cannons, and the strategy of Jushan Hou is good." Shimazu Tadakami walked to Tador Eemon.

He also listened to the explanation of Jiangchuan Eimin's tactics, and agreed with Jiangchuan Eimin's idea of ​​using the firepower advantages of his army's 195 imported cannons. If he could directly use the cannon to break up the Zunwang Army, then it would be the most perfect.

"When is it?" Tadaoemon nodded and turned to ask left and right.

A large group of civil and military officials took out all kinds of pocket watches and looked at each other in the bonfire. When they looked at it, it was roughly the same time, just a few minutes after four o'clock in the morning.

"It's four o'clock in the afternoon..." It took about an hour to dawn, and Tadaoemon was less anxious.

He turned around and walked two steps, sat on the big bale next to the carriage, leaning against the frame plate full of horse materials, and actually squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Tadakami Shimazu and Susukami looked at each other in a hurry. Our general was in great interest.

Tokugawa Kyoho, who came from the outside, saw Tadakami Shimazu and Susukami, and was a little surprised. He was about to see that the war might be about to go to. Where is the general of the conquering the ranks?

Suzuki pointed to the bale and asked Tokugawa Kyoho what was wrong. Tokugawa Kyoho first took two steps forward, then stopped and said that when he ran out of Kyoto, he heard a news.

Emperor Komei may have also noticed that the army of the King of Kings had no commander, so he ordered two of them, Danayan, to serve as "companion envoys", and in fact, to serve as the supervisor of the army. On behalf of Emperor Komei, he unified the army and bravely "invited" Tadashi Tokugawa to come to Kyoto to meet you and worship the saint.

That's all?

A mere minister, he had a way to take over the military power of the royal army as soon as he entered the camp. Even if everyone here was not engaged in military affairs, he would not be so cute and innocent. He thought this was feasible. For this reason, Tadaemon, who had not been close to his eyes for more than 30 hours? Let's forget it.

Tokugawa Kyoho, who was stopped, thought about it, and then stopped talking about anything else, so he found a stool and sat down.

Don't worry, come and have a bowl.

The two attendants carried large copper pots filled with hot tea, and then distributed wooden bowls and cold rice balls to all the civil and military officials. Whether it was midnight snack or breakfast, they could only have the energy to fight after eating.

Hongchi Shin, who was ordered to manage the logistics of the Shogunate Army, had already organized farmers and friends to deliver rice balls, salt, miso, sake and candy to Fushimi day and night.

Fresh vegetables and fish? The requirements are a bit high, so let's forget it.

Time passed by, and the originally dark earth suddenly became bright in the blink of an eye. The mist that seemed to be stirring a moment ago disappeared immediately. The storm sound continued to enter everyone's ears, obviously not from some birds and beasts.

"Xilulu..." A Gao Jun's war horse sniffed.

Tadaoemon's eyes widened, jumped up, and then climbed to the top of the carriage in a few seconds. He didn't feel any danger or shaking the bale under his feet, but just put his hands on his eyebrows and looked into the distance.

Located in Kyoto, it is wide and wide, and it is impossible to see any hillside. The dim morning light is not dazzling, but it makes Tadaoemon see the figures of Amano and the road in the distance.

The King’s Army has arrived!

The squads of the trainees that had already emerged hundreds of meters, and the sound of flutes and drums in the army rose suddenly. The whole team's orders ranged from east to west, and the call continued. The non-commissioned officers held the copper whistle in their mouths, and the harsh and rapid whistle sounded, and ordered the soldiers to form three horizontal lines.

The artillery, which had been placed in the front of the infantry early, proofreading the orders of the Yuan, were also given to everyone's ears in the mouths of two non-commissioned officers riding horses and galloping.

At this moment, no one paid attention to Tadaoemon on the carriage anymore, and everyone's eyes were looking at the troops of the Zunwang Army facing the rising sun in the distance.

Since the British and Japanese ghosts and animals knocked on the gates and opened the doors of the country, all the vassals have emerged, emphasizing foreign learning. Fukui soldiers, Changzhou soldiers and other troops have adopted Western styles of practice, using Western weapons, communicating with British and French commands, and setting modern flags and drums. Although they are inferior to the teaching team, they are quite impressive. Their ranks come like a forest.

It was not alarmed that the teaching team left the town to fight, and they were not panicked, and they were in absent, and their steps were suddenly stopped. I don’t know whether it was a test or a consolidation of the troops before the war.

On the side of the teaching team, Jiang Chuan Eimin in the formation raised his telescope to visit the situation of the Zunwang Army. Seeing the enemy coming, he was not panicked and sent orders with his hands.
Chapter completed!
