These sergeants hold their swords in one hand and their horses in the other - they are the world-famous Aizu Cavalry!

Songping Rongbao quickly moved to Qingdeng and said seriously:

"General Tachibana, the current Choshu Domain has become an 'empty country'."

"Presumably there is not much field strength left in the domain now."

"The battles that followed were nothing more than siege battles one after another."

"Therefore, there is no use in keeping these cavalry."

"General Tachibana, you are going to take back Owari, and you will definitely have to fight in the field."

"For you, the more cavalry, the better."

"So, please take away these 200 cavalry from Aizu!"

"They can definitely help!"

After saying that, he turned slightly sideways.

Immediately afterwards, a heavily armed warrior walked out of the Aizu cavalry formation and came to Aoto.

After seeing this person's face clearly, Qingdeng raised his eyebrows subconsciously.

This person was none other than Sagawa Kanbei, the elder of the Aizu clan and the most powerful general of the Aizu clan.

Because he had had trouble with the other party, Qingdeng not only remembered him, but also had a deep impression on him.

I recall that when the newly established Shinsengumi went to Iga to put down the rebellion, they lacked troops and borrowed troops from Aizu.

Matsudaira Yongho then dispatched a group of elite soldiers and generals headed by Sagawa Kanbei, ordering them to assist Seito with all their strength.

Unexpectedly, the self-esteemed Sagawa Kanbei ignored Aitobo's orders at the beginning of the battle and led the attack without authorization. As a result, he ended up with a funny ending of being "repelled by the musketeers indiscriminately". It was obvious how shameless he was.

What eyes.

After Benshi returned to Beijing, he was immediately severely punished by Matsudaira Yongho.

Matsudaira Yoshiho did not intentionally favor the other party because he was a minister of the Aizu Domain, and he gave Ainoto an explanation.

From then on, Qingdeng rarely saw him.

"General Tachibana, although Sagawa-kun made a big mistake before, he has changed his ways now."

"I believe that he will be an excellent helper for you in this battle and will never make such stupid mistakes again."

"Sagawa-kun, am I right?"

Matsudaira Yongho said as he turned his head to the side and cast a sharp look at Sagawa Kanbei.

Facing his lord's gaze, Sagawa Kanbei suddenly lowered his waist, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice with respect on his face:

"General Tachibana, I have offended many people before! I was too arrogant, which led to a big mistake!"

"Please take a good look at it!"

"This time, I... no, we will definitely show you the bravery of Aizu men!"

After speaking, he held his head high and looked directly at Qingdeng with lightning eyes.

His demeanor is no longer the arrogance and arrogance of the past, but only pure respect and respect.

Qingteng looked at Sagawa Kanbei, and then at the cavalry behind him. After thinking for a moment, he nodded solemnly:

"...Okay, Higo-sama, in that case, I will accept your 'gift'."

Naturally, Qingdeng would not think that he had too many troops.

Since Matsudaira Yoshiho was willing to lend troops, and also loaned out the Aizu Cavalry, which was a powerful force, he was happy to accept it.

Seeing Qingden readily accept his kindness, Matsudaira Yongho chuckled a few times as if he was relieved:

"General Tachibana, please wait and see! Our Aizu cavalry will never live up to its reputation!"

Aoto smiled slightly in response, then turned to look at the Aizu cavalry led by Sagawa Kanbei, and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers of Aizu! If you want to show me the 'Soul of Aizu', then follow closely! I have no time to deal with stragglers!"

After saying that, he flew up to the cow with agility and tapped the cow's belly with his heel.

"Moo moo moo!"

The big black bull raised its two front hooves, howled loudly, and then galloped forward like arrows, heading straight for the outside of the camp.

The next breath, the horses neighed.

The Aizu Cavalry and the Shinsengumi Cavalry, who had been waiting nearby, jumped on their horses and whipped their whips.

The horse's hooves trampled the ground violently, raising countless dust.

They closely followed Qingdeng and became the first batch of troops to participate in the "Second Great Return of China"!

…

…

Aoto started, followed by Hijikata Toshizo's "Second Army", Kondo Isamu's "Third Army", Shannan Keisuke's "Fourth Army"... On the long road from Choshu to Gyeonggi, five thousand troops stepped up and rushed.

!

Run quickly with small steps - this is the marching technique Qingdeng learned when he was studying in the police academy in his previous life.

Whether it is a 100-meter sprint or a marathon speed, it is not suitable for rapid marching.

A marathon is just a 195-kilometer run, while a rush march can easily run hundreds of kilometers.

Only "running quickly with small steps" is the most suitable running method for rapid marching.

You don't need to take long strides, nor do you need to run very fast. Shorten your strides and step quickly, just like a race walk - in this way, you can run the longest distance with the least amount of energy.

After the large army has run a distance of about 30 kilometers, they will see the first supply point.

The cooks who left the camp early have set up stalls here and are ready to distribute supplies.

The "First Army" led by Qingdeng briefly stopped here, let their mounts eat some licorice, rested for a while, and then continued on their way.

What arrived next was the "Second Army" led by Hijikata Toshizo.

Every sergeant who passed by the stall received a rice ball and a bowl of water.

"Get it!"

"A rice ball for each person! A bowl of water! Don't take more!"

"Don't stop! Who told you to stop? Just run and eat at the same time!"

"Don't stop! Don't stop! Repeat, don't stop."

Under such strict orders, the sergeants did not dare to stop after receiving the food from the cooks. They just continued to move forward while eating rice balls.

The "Third Army" and "Fourth Army" that arrived later were all in the same situation, and even had to spend time marching during meals.

In order to rush back to Gyeonggi as soon as possible, Qingdeng really worked hard.

Not only was he ordered to "eat while running", he was also ordered to cut down on rest time.

The rest time between marches should not exceed 2 minutes.

Even the sleeping time at night has been compressed to 6 hours.

At the beginning, the troops could barely keep up.

But on the third and fourth days, when the marching distance exceeded 100 kilometers, some sergeants gradually became unable to hold on.

"Ugh! Ugh, vomit, vomit, vomit, vomit!" Vomiting sounds similar to this appeared more and more frequently in the marching ranks.

Vomiting while running...even if you are so tired that you are vomiting or your consciousness is blurred, you cannot stop.

A forced march of this intensity would probably collapse in less than half a day if the troops were undisciplined and lacked physical fitness.

If one is not good, it might lead to a mutiny, directly rebel against his mother, and never do such hard work again.

Facts have proved that discipline is indeed the important lifeblood of an army.

Even if they are extremely tired, even if they feel extremely tortured, no one dares to complain, and no one dares to stop.

This is a military order issued by the "Nioh" himself - this thought is swirling in the minds of the Shinsengumi soldiers.

The discipline construction that has never been slacked off for a long time, as well as Qingdeng's personal prestige, made them dare not have any idea of ​​complaining about being tired, and they all gritted their teeth and worked hard to support it.

The speed of the cavalry, led by Qingdeng himself, was naturally far superior to that of the infantry.

It only took them seven days to leave China and enter the territory of Gyeonggi Province.

As soon as he returned to Gyeonggi, Qingdeng discovered a strange supply station on the only way back to Dajin.

He stepped forward and asked, only to find out: This is a supply station set up by Sanako!
