I formed the strongest swordsman group

“Huff…! Huff…! Huff…!”

The warhorse under his crotch made rough and hoarse breathing, as if what was spewing out was not droplets but gravel.

Although Qing Deng did not have to endure the hardship of "galloping", the violent bumps and high-intensity combat also made him quite exhausted.

Up to this point in the battle, both the "Careless Demon Child" and the "Dragon of Reversal" have almost reached their limits.

He breathed in oxygen through his mouth and nose, but even so, his oxygen intake still couldn't keep up with his consumption.

The wounds all over his body were aching again... I guess the "Dragon of Reversal" could no longer suppress the pain.

What’s even more coincidental is that if you look closely, you can find that the other person’s clothes are unusual.

Ordinary people cannot afford to wear such gorgeous armor.

The other party is definitely not an ordinary soldier. He should be a general in the Mito army, and his rank is not low.

Qing Deng killed quite a few small soldiers, but he didn't kill many important figures at the officer level.

In a flash, the Vairocana sword, which had just been hanging down naturally, was raised high at this moment, with the tip of the sword pointing straight to the sky.

The shadow cast by the blade mercilessly covered the body of the enemy soldier.

The speed of the horse, the speed of the sword... were too fast. The combined speed of the two was so fast that the opponent didn't even have a chance to turn around and dodge.

The other party had no weapons in his hands, and even the sword at his waist was missing. I guess he threw away everything he could in order to make it easier for him to escape.

In this way, he didn't even have the ability to fight back.

In desperation, he could only subconsciously grit his teeth and squeeze out the remaining strength in his body.

However, it is easy to imagine that it is difficult to outrun four hooves with two legs.

In a matter of seconds, there was a "swish" sound, and a purple-black arc was swiped down.

Wherever the sword passes, all life is gone.

A small part of the opponent's body flew into the air, rolling and falling into a pit in the distance, stirring up a cloud of dust.

After killing the enemy general, Qing Deng suddenly discovered that the world before his eyes suddenly became clear.

A few minutes ago, there were still a large number of enemy soldiers in front of him.

But now, there are no more enemy soldiers in sight, and there is only the distant horizon in front of my sight.

Just now they were beheading generals and capturing flags, but now it suddenly became quiet... This abrupt change made Qing Deng feel a little at a loss.

"General Tachibana! General Tachibana!"

Suddenly, the voice of Sagawa Kanbei came from behind him.

Qing Deng turned his head and looked back, only to see Sagawa Kanbei covered in blood, the man was a bloody man, and the horse was a bloody horse.

It is not difficult to imagine what a fierce battle he went through.

Always by Qing Deng's side, charging forward with Qing Deng...becoming like this was only a natural result.

"General Tachibana! We have completely decimated the enemy! We have completely decimated the enemy!"

Because he was worried that Qing Deng couldn't hear him, he repeated it twice.

The emotion called "excitement" was scattered between every syllable of his words.

Kill the enemy... Qing Deng repeated this sentence in his mind in a daze.

Suddenly, he withdrew his gaze from the other person and looked around.

There was a flat dirt road under the horse's hooves.

There are almost no buildings around, it's basically a wilderness.

Because he had served successively as "Sadamachi Kaidoshin" and "Captain of the Fire Thieves Kaisanbantai" - both positions required him to travel frequently in and outside Edo - Aoto was very familiar with the geographical conditions of Edo.

For this reason, he took a quick glance around and quickly recognized that this place was the northern suburbs of Edo, far away from Edo Town and basically out of the geographical scope of Edo.

Then, he reacted a little slowly: they fought from the center of Edo Town all the way to the wilderness north of Edo!

In other words, they successfully drove the Mito army out of Edo!

When pursuing the Mito Army, Qing Deng's goal was clear: capture the big ones and let the small ones go.

Ignoring the small fry, he continued to chase after the Mito Army's main force.

In extreme panic, people's rationality will approach zero.

In fact, it is obvious that as long as they break up into small groups, disperse and escape separately, they can preserve their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent and greatly reduce the effectiveness of Qing Deng and others' pursuit.

However, under the dual influence of "terrified" and "herd effect", most of the soldiers of the Mito army stayed together and foolishly followed the main force to escape.

In this way, they are really like lost lambs, foolishly allowing themselves to be driven and slaughtered.

In this way, Qing Deng and others' pursuit was extremely smooth, like a bulldozer, ruthlessly crushing the Mito army!

At this moment, there were no enemy soldiers in sight.

And this means the complete collapse of the Mito army!

Just as Sagawa Kanbei said, they have completely defeated the Mito army!

The Mito Army's main force was already in pieces! It was torn apart like a hot knife through butter, with only a few remnants left scattered in other places!

After realizing that the "battle was over", Qingdeng belatedly tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

Sagawa Kanbei and others behind him also stopped.

Qing Deng turned his head again.

This time, he counted the comrades behind him.

Including Sagawa Kanbei, there were only about thirty riders left behind him.

The rest either died in battle or had to leave the team due to exhaustion.

All those who accompanied Qing Deng in fighting to the end have been holding on with all their might and persevering until now.

The intense fatigue made them exhausted both physically and mentally, and they could not even sit still.

However, when Qing Deng turned around to look at them, every one of them mustered up their spirits, held their heads high, and had proud looks on their faces.

At the same time, they all cast fiery glances at Qing Deng.

Such eyes, such appearance, is like looking at gods!

In the recent "Edo Rescue War", after entering Edo Town, Qing Deng separated from the main force and rushed to Edo Castle alone.

Therefore, strictly speaking, for the Aizu Iron Cavalry, "fighting side by side with Prince Ni" is the first time until today!

Before this, like everyone else, the Aizu Iron Cavalry could only know about Qing Deng's strength based on rumors.

It is better to see it once with your own eyes than to hear it a hundred times.

It is hard not to feel excited when seeing this heroic figure sweeping through thousands of enemies, and seeing this back that is always charging ahead and giving people a huge sense of security!

Sagawa Kanbei and others knew very well that the reason they were able to defeat the Mito army and achieve such outstanding military exploits was all thanks to Qing Deng.

With only a hundred cavalrymen, they defeated three thousand regular troops... Such an achievement, even in the long river of history, is a glorious achievement worthy of being recorded in great detail!

After winning such a beautiful and satisfying victory, it is no wonder that Sagawa Kanbei and others would look so proud and excited.

To be honest, let alone them, even Qing Deng himself couldn't help feeling dazed at this moment, as if he was floating above the clouds, his body was light and floating, as if he was in a dream.

——The Mito army was defeated...

The brief silence reflected Qing Deng's surprise.

Although slow, the continuous flow of time allows consciousness to gradually catch up with reality.

At this moment, a myriad of emotions surged into his heart.

He defeated the Mito army.

He resolved the crisis in Edo Castle.

He fulfilled his promise to Tianzhangyuan!

With this thought in mind, he took a deep breath, then slowly raised the Vairocana in his hand and shouted at the loudest volume he could:

"This battle is our victory!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sagawa Kanbei opened his voice:

“Oooooohh ...

The next moment, the rest of the people followed suit, cheering in unison to express their excitement!

…

…

Edo, Imado Town, the main camp of the Hitotsubashi faction——

The room was filled with a depressing, suffocating atmosphere.

More than half an hour ago, the place was still filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Everyone, including Yoshinobu Ichibashi, was rejoicing at the timely arrival of the Mito army.

He was thinking, "Our army has won!" and "Ju Qingdeng and the others are dead!".

In fact, we can't blame them for being happy too early.

Judging from the situation at the time, the "Ichibashi faction" that received reinforcements from the Mito domain did have an overwhelming advantage.

It is understandable that they would relax and be happy given such a huge advantage.

Of course, there is no point in discussing the past in detail.

How happy they were just now, which contrasts with how sad they are now!

At this moment, Ichibashi Yoshinobu had a long face and sat stiffly on the main seat, listening to Gao Lao's report.

Gao Lao did not keep everyone waiting for long. With a hoarse voice, he reported the latest intelligence he had just received slowly and unhurriedly:

"The Mito army suffered a crushing defeat, with more than half of its troops killed, including the commander Suzuki Toranosuke, who was among a large number of officers killed in the battle."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Having said this, he paused.

From the look on his face, he seemed reluctant to say the next words.

However, after a brief hesitation, he finally gritted his teeth and continued, suppressing his resentment:

"Tachibana Aoto… survived. It is understood that he has returned safely to Edo Castle."

Gao Lao finished speaking.

The room was once again dominated by an eerie silence.

After listening to Gao Lao's report, the faces of the people at the scene changed several times.

They were all dazed, as if they had lost their souls.

Some people looked at each other, as if trying to find comfort in other people's faces.

More than half of them were killed or wounded... This is a number that can cause an army to lose most of its combat capability!

They had thought that the casualties of the Mito Army would be ugly, but they never expected that the casualties of the Mito Army would be so heavy!

In this silence, the first person to speak out was Yoshinobu Ichibashi:

"The soldiers of the Mito Army are not all dead. As long as we unite the remaining soldiers, we should still be able to fight."

His words seemed to be trying to calm everyone down and to cheer himself up.

“…”

The fat man raised his eyes silently and glanced at the tall guy opposite him with complicated eyes.

The tall man pursed his lips, a look of determination appearing on his cheeks - as if he had made up his mind.

Then, he gritted his teeth and revealed the cruel truth to the other party:

"Master Ichibashi... the morale of the Mito army has suffered a devastating blow."

"It is difficult to call a newly defeated army brave."

"To make matters worse, the deaths of a large number of generals such as Suzuki Toranosuke left the Mito army without a leader who could integrate and lead the remaining troops."

"Even if we manage to integrate the remaining troops, their combat effectiveness is still not ideal..."

After saying this, Gao Lao consciously lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at Ichibashi Yoshinobu.

The others did the same. They all buried their heads in their chests, their eyes on their noses, their noses on their hearts, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

“…”

Yoshinobu Ichibashi fell silent.

The shouting and screaming outside the window seemed particularly far away.

About 10 seconds later, he said dully with a wooden expression:

"You, you, you, and you. The four of you stay here. The others go out first."

He stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the tall guy, the short guy, the fat guy and the thin guy respectively.

Seeing this, everyone dared not say much. They silently accepted the order and filed out.

Soon, only Itohashi Yoshinobu and the four people he specifically asked to stay were left in the room.

As soon as the others left, Ikki Yoshinobu suddenly stood up, his hair and beard standing on end, his face flushed, and his facial features twisted into a ball.

"Can you tell me why the Mito Army was defeated?!"

"The main force of the Shinsengumi has been held back at Akasaka-gomon, and the 'Sanjuroku-mitsuke' is full of holes!"

"As long as we send another troop of more than a thousand people to attack any gate except the Akasaka Gate, we can easily penetrate the 'Sanjuroku-mitsuke' and enter Edo Castle!"

"'March towards Kohinagata Gate and capture Edo Castle' - such a simple mission, why can't the Mito Army complete it?!"

"Our expectations are wasted! Our soldiers' sacrifices at Akasaka-gomon are wasted!"

"They have three thousand men!"

"Three thousand soldiers can't stop Ju Qingdeng!"

"Just one Tachibana Aoto alone has caused the Mito army to fall apart!"

"What a joke!"

"Useless! Useless! The soldiers of the Mito Army are all a bunch of useless people!!"

The fat man swallowed hard and interrupted:

"Master Hitotsubashi, you are exaggerating..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Ichibashi Yoshinobu's even more fierce rebuke:

"Coward! Loser! Good-for-nothing who's holding me back!"

"Today's Mito has fallen to this level!"

"When my father was on the throne, the Mito Army would never have suffered such a humiliating defeat!"

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have entrusted this important task to the Mito Army!"

"It is because of their incompetence that we have ended up in this situation!"

Every word and every sentence of Ichibashi Yoshinobu burst out from the depths of his throat, using all his strength.

Japanese houses are notoriously poor at soundproofing.

Therefore, even though he asked others to go out first, everyone waiting outside could clearly hear these horrifying roars.

Everyone listened in silence, with different expressions.

Some people looked numb.

Some people show their anger on their faces.

More people looked sad.

One person even sobbed quietly, his shoulders shaking slightly.

Inside the room, Yoshinobu Ichibashi's outburst continued.

"The so-called 'powerful vassal state in Kanto' is nothing but self-boasting!"

"All the real men of Mito died because of the 'Sakuradamon Incident' and the 'Tengu Party Rebellion'!"

After yelling, Ichibashi Yoshinobu took several deep breaths and then sat back in his original position dejectedly.

He no longer held his head high as he did before, but instead bent over with his head lowered, his elbows resting on his thighs, his posture slumped, as if he had lost his spine.

"The Mito Army is finished... We no longer have any extra combat power... We are almost finished..."

"How can we win under such circumstances?"

"It's over... It's all over..."

"That's it... You guys can do whatever you want from now on..."

Ichibashi Yoshinobu's words made Gao Lao and others present all stunned.

Looking at the frustrated Hitohashi Yoshinobu, Gao Lao gritted his teeth and shouted word by word:

"Lord Ichihashi, the battle is not over yet! Our battle is not over yet! We still have a chance of winning!"
