Chapter 853 Aomori vs. Genrui Kusaka! The showdown between the generals! [5500](1/3)
The next moment, Qingdeng violently kicked the cow's belly with his foot.
Carrot retracted its two raised front hooves and shot them out, like a spring that was suddenly released after being flattened.
The headwind blew against his face, and Qingden heard the feather fabric on his body blowing loudly.
Immediately afterwards, like a flood, the originally very tight cavalry phalanx disintegrated and turned into "turbulence", led by Qingdeng, slamming towards Tianlong Temple.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the same time that the cavalry launched their assault, the cannons at the rear roared one after another.
The firing of many cannons merged into a continuous low roar.
The heads of Qingdeng and others were filled with speeding, roaring, and screaming sounds that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
"Adjust the muzzle 4 degrees upward and 2 degrees right. Move quickly! Don't wait!"
The thunderous sound of shelling dominated the surrounding space with an overwhelming sense of presence.
Juro Abe (Captain of the 11th Squadron) shouted his instructions in a clear and precise manner, while quietly squinting his eyes to observe the situation of the Satsuma Army's artillery array not far away.
The artillery array of the Satsuma Army was located 50 meters away.
Even a layman can tell at a glance what outstanding combat qualities the Satsuma Army's artillery team possesses.
All soldiers perform their duties, and each one is like a gear, operating in an orderly manner.
Their scientific and skillful operation methods make their bombardment speed frighteningly fast.
In terms of training level alone...the Satsuma Artillery Corps looms above the Shinsengumi Artillery Corps, which was founded less than a year ago!
——He is indeed a lord who can make his own guns and battleships!
Juro Abe praised secretly.
Driven by his competitive spirit, he never wanted to lose to his opponent.
As a result, he worked harder and gave orders.
Escorted by artillery, the cavalry's charge became even more overwhelming.
The Changzhou Army no longer had the will to fight, so they simply charged forward with cavalry and that was it.
The difference from yesterday was that the 7th and 10th divisions of the Shinsengumi no longer had to fight alone this time. Today they had the support of the Aizu cavalry.
"Come on!"
"Let Choshu Dog see the power of the world-famous Aizu cavalry!"
"Follow closely! Don't fall behind!"
Although the number of Aizu cavalry is not large, only 200, their horse control skills and the momentum of the charge are not inferior to the 7th and 10th divisions of the Shinsengumi.
Qingden lowered his upper body so that his chest was almost touching the cow's back to minimize the impact of wind resistance.
After a while, the Changzhou Army's camp became clearer and clearer.
The faces full of fear and panic came into Qingden's eyes clearly.
The current situation of the Changzhou Army is worse than Qingdeng expected.
A large-scale cavalry force was almost approaching, but they didn't even have a decent defense line organized.
It can be seen that his command system has collapsed into a mess.
"They're coming!"
"Shinsengumi! Just come here! I'll fight with you!"
"Quick! Pick up the spear!"
"Asshole! Where are you going?!"
"Come back! Come back quickly! If you run away now, you will only be killed! If you fight to the death, you may still survive!"
Various sounds penetrated Qingdeng's ears, which made people intuitively feel the various behaviors of all living beings when disaster strikes.
Qingdeng ignored these noises - his talent "Concentration" activated - he concentrated on it and slowly raised his long spear.
How fast is the cavalry assault?
In the blink of an eye, the two armies met!
Qingdeng waved his long spear horizontally, cutting a dark red arc in the enemy group. Wherever the spear passed, the enemy group collapsed like waves.
There were some guys who still had the fighting spirit to bravely rush forward, hoping to fight Qingdeng to the death.
In an instant, more than ten Changzhou soldiers surrounded Qingdeng in a fan-shaped formation.
Qingdeng glanced at them, his hands kept moving, and he opened the long spear in his palm again.
With a squeaking sound, the surrounding circle around him immediately opened up, as if blooming, and dozens of broken bodies flew into the sky.
Qingdeng's "personal show" did not last long.
But with just a little effort from the front and back, the large army was able to kill him!
The outcome was decided almost instantly.
The cavalry did not gather together, but dispersed in teams of ten, forming small and flexible awls, roaring and sweeping up.
I saw them charging into the Changzhou military formation head-on, with people shouting and horses neighing, and clouds of blood mist exploding.
The cavalry's blades swept across the enemy's body.
Horse hooves trampled over the broken body and broken battle flag.
In the morning fog that has not yet dissipated, there are galloping, blocking, hard fighting, fighting, escaping, and death everywhere.
The cavalry broke up the queue.
The horse's hooves crush the bones.
The blade cuts through flesh and blood.
In the flash of cold light, fresh lives were taken away one by one.
It was not that there were no brave men in the Changzhou army who launched a desperate counterattack.
However, no matter how desperately they resisted and blocked, facing this high-speed attacking cavalry army, their resistance was no different than a mantis trying to use its arms as a chariot.
Under the attack and push of the cavalry, the space for activities of the Changzhou soldiers was gradually compressed, and soon they became a "meat ball."
Everyone is entangled with each other, restraining each other, and holding each other back. They cannot let go at all. It is even more difficult to resist the fierce offensive of the cavalry army, and they can only be slaughtered by their opponents in vain.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind:
"Don't back down! Come on!"
A neatly dressed general flew out on horseback.
It is none other than Maki Izumi, an important leader of the radical faction.
This man was originally the priest of Kurume Domain's Suitengu Shrine. He is quite young and is already 51 years old this year.
The appearance of Izumi Maki did give the morale of the Choshu Army a small boost.
Maki Izumi, who was born as a priest and is not young at the same time, is not good at martial arts.
However, his courage to "put his life and death at risk" is indeed worthy of praise.
He shouted loudly, raised his knife and cut down two people one after another.
The more he fought, the more courageous he became, and suddenly he found a general who looked majestic and was obviously an important figure in the army.
Adhering to the simple idea of "shooting the man first, shoot the horse first, and catching the thief first, capture the king", Maki Izumi turned the horse's head without hesitation and went straight towards the general.
The target he found was Harada Sanosuke.
Seeing an enemy coming, and it was an enemy of a high level, Harada Sanosuke was startled for a moment, then smiled confidently.
Soon enough, the confrontation between the two began!
Just as the two men were about to pass each other, Maki Izumi aimed at the distance and thrust his spear straight.
With the blessing of the potential energy of the horse, this shot was so fast.
However, Sanosuke Harada had already disappeared from the front of his gun.
It turned out that at the same time as Maki Izumi launched his attack, Harada Sanosuke quickly lowered his body, took his right foot out of the stirrup, and hung his whole body on the left side of the horse's belly, which is the so-called "horse belly hidden man".
This is a superb skill that can only be used by those with excellent riding skills - and Sanosuke Harada happens to be one of the most talented riders in the Shinsengumi.
At the same moment as he dodged the opponent's attack, Harada Sanosuke stretched his body, raised the gun body slightly, and aimed at Maki Izumi's throat from below.
Describing Harada Sanosuke's actions in such detail makes it seem like a long time has passed.
In fact, everything happens at the click of a finger.
call out!
With a flash of cold light, the gun shot out like a dragon!
The tip of the spear hit Maki Izumi's throat, which was not protected by armor, and passed through the back of his neck.
