night--

Tenryuji battlefield, Aizu army camp——

At this moment, just when the moon is rising.

The slender crescent moon unfolded a Su Lian that shone with silver light.

Under the bright moonlight, Songping Rongbao, leading the generals of the Changzhou Army, waited outside the camp gate.

"Moo...Moo..."

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

A faint, tired neighing sound came from the distance.

Within a moment, a group of cavalry stepped out of the night-drenched skyline and slowly appeared in front of Matsudaira Yongho and others.

It was the cavalry unit led by Qingdeng himself.

Looking at Ayoto and his group who were getting closer and closer, many generals of the Aizu army swallowed their saliva subconsciously, showing awe on their faces.

Although they were still hundreds of meters apart, the strong smell of blood was already drifting down the wind.

Qingdeng and his party looked like they had just been soaked in a pool of blood, their bodies covered in blood.

The hair was soaked in blood and hot sweat and formed into clumps.

Needless to say, clothes and other things have reached the point where "there is no need to waste time washing them, it is impossible to wash them cleanly".

The skin exposed outside the clothes was all red and black, and there was almost no clean spot.

Although it is very dirty, it is full of visual impact!

One can tell at a glance: this is an army that came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!

If a timid person sees it, the two branches will definitely fight, and they will not even be able to stand firmly.

Just like Choshu, there is no horse-producing area in Satsuma, and there is no habit of cultivating cavalry, so there is a great shortage of cavalry.

Therefore, today's pursuit battle is all handled by the 7th and 10th divisions of the Shinsengumi.

After defeating the enemy on Tianwang Mountain, Qingdeng immediately led the cavalry in person and launched a lightning-fast attack on the remaining soldiers of the Changzhou Army.

At that time, the cavalry had just driven the remnants of Fushimi's army to the Yamazaki area.

Before getting enough rest, they had to continue fighting, driving the remaining soldiers from the Fushimi and Yamazaki battlefields to the Tenryuji battlefield further north.

The task is very heavy, and it is a great test on physical strength and will.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the cavalry did not disappoint Qingdeng's expectations and careful training for them.

Following Qingteng's order, the soldiers of the 7th and 10th divisions immediately saddled up their horses and attacked immediately!

Among them, three generals, Harada Sanosuke, Nakazawa Qin and Matsubara Chuji, played a very good commanding role.

Although Harada Sanosuke's mind is not very bright, he has a powerful intuition like a beast.

When it is appropriate to attack, when to pursue, and when to avoid the edge, he can always subconsciously choose the most appropriate option.

To put it simply, he is a person who relies on instinct to fight and fight.

Although it is very simple and crude, it can always win unexpectedly.

With this ability, he gradually grew into an excellent cavalry general.

Not to mention Nakazawa Qin and Matsubara Tadashi.

As newcomers, they have always been eager to show off their talents and highlight their own value. The more difficult the task, the more they can arouse their fighting spirit.

The enemy troops have become frightened and have no order at all.

Therefore, Qingdeng's order was very simple: Don't worry about your formation! Charge with your head down and attack the enemy when you catch him!

In this way, under his personal leadership, the cavalry charged and fought fiercely.

Along the way, many soldiers fell behind due to exhaustion of horsepower.

Qingdeng paid no attention to this, and allowed the team behind him to become thinner and thinner. He pursued relentlessly and never gave the Changzhou Army any chance to breathe.

Those Changzhou Army officers and soldiers who were brutally pursued had three endings:

First, he was driven to Tenryuji Temple like a lamb.

Second, he got lucky and escaped pursuit, fled to the outside of the battlefield, and saved his life.

The third one was killed on the way.

Many people panicked and chose to jump into the Kamogawa River, ending up with the tragic end of drowning.

In this way, Ayoto and his party fought from Fushimi to Yamazaki, and then from Yamazaki all the way to Tenryuji Temple.

It was only now that we joined forces with the Aizu Army in charge of the Tenryuji battlefield and finally stopped.

At this time, there were no cavalry left behind who were still following Qingdeng. There were only about a hundred cavalry left, and they were all exhausted.

Many of them managed to sit firmly in the saddle only through sheer willpower.

Even Qingdeng couldn't help but feel tired after the battle.

Unfortunately, Genrui Kusaka could not be found until the end.

Saitoichi personally led a team to look for it, but returned without success.

Whether this guy is alive or dead, whether he escaped to some unknown nook and cranny, or whether he successfully escaped to Tianlong Temple, Qingdeng has no idea.

Seeing that Qingteng and his party had finally arrived, Matsudaira Yongho and others who came to greet them all bent down and saluted Qingteng.

Aoto handed the long tree in his palm to Nakazawa Koto beside him for safekeeping temporarily, then got off the cow and strode towards Matsudaira Yongho.

Matsudaira Yongho smiled:

"Lord An Yi, congratulations on your triumph!"

Qingdeng curled up his lips:

"This is all thanks to the soldiers' united efforts and brave fighting."

"Let's not talk about this for now."

"Is there food? My men and I are starving."

"Also, is there hot water? I want to take a shower before eating."

Having said that, Aoden smiled bitterly and showed his Haori to Matsudaira Yoshiho who could squeeze out a large amount of blood with just a slight squeeze, and the smell was enough to stun others.

…

…

About an hour later——

The camp of the Touchang Army (formerly the camp of the Aizu Army), this formation——

Qingdeng sat in the front seat.

Matsudaira Yoshiho, Saigo Kinosuke and other generals gathered around a long table with Aonto as the center.

On the long table, there is a three-dimensional map of the Tenryuji Temple battlefield made of clay.

Not long after Aoto and his party joined the Aizu army, Hijikata Toshizo, Saigo Kinosuke and others arrived one after another.

When the main generals of the three armies (Shinsengumi, Aizu Army, and Satsuma Army) were all present, Aoto immediately ordered: Convene a military meeting!

Let’s discuss strategies to defeat the enemy, remove the last stronghold of the Changzhou Army in Gyeonggi, and drive these rebellious officials and traitors completely out of Gyeonggi!

There is no doubt that this is the last battle of this battle.

Thanks to the capabilities of the Hijikata-Satsuma coalition, the Choshu Army on the Yamazaki side was defeated on the first day of the war, bringing the decisive battle to a much earlier date.

The task Aoto entrusted to the Aizu Army was to hold back the enemy forces on Tenryuji Temple before the decisive battle, and prevent them from getting close to Kyoto, and prevent them from supporting other battlefields.

The Aizu Army is indeed a world-famous force.

Even though the troops were at a disadvantage, they still fought back and forth with the Changzhou Army on the opposite side, leaving them with no time to worry about anything else.

Qingden turned his head slightly and winked at Matsudaira Rongbao.

Matsudaira Yongho nodded, then turned to a general beside him and said:

"Let's get started."

The general immediately stood up and said loudly:

"I am the elder of the Aizu clan, the god of protection and protection!"

"Please allow me to preside over today's meeting."

He skipped the unnecessary pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Throughout the whole day today, the Aizu Domain was at war with the Choshu Army on the Tenryuji Temple side.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the Aizu Army to be responsible for introducing the details of the other party to everyone.

Jinbo Nezosuke cleared his throat, and then spoke loudly.
