I formed the strongest swordsman group

A certain street in Edo——

After receiving the order from Yoshinobu Ichibashi to "attack Kohinagata Gate", the 3,000 soldiers of the Mito army immediately took the order, changed their route to the west, and headed straight for Kohinagata Gate.

Wherever the army passed, there was chaos.

Seeing this strange army suddenly coming, the people were all terrified and scrambled to flee in all directions to make way.

The dull thud of soldiers stomping on the ground, the crisp clanging of weapons colliding, the wailing of the people... countless sounds mixed together, creating a scene of the end of the world.

The closer the area was to Edo Castle, the earlier it received the news of the "outbreak of civil war."

Therefore, as the Mito army gradually approached Edo Castle, they met fewer and fewer ordinary people along the way.

The people living around Edo Castle had already fled.

Looking up, the street was filled with a bleak air.

The shops were closed, there were no pedestrians, not even a stray dog.

Under the military flag embroidered with "Mito Three-Leaf Sunflower" fluttering in the wind was a middle-aged samurai with slightly gray hair on his temples.

Positioned right below the commander's flag, his identity is naturally self-evident - the commander of this army, Suzuki Toranosuke, the elder of the Mito domain!

At this moment, he was seen riding on a tall horse, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking very high-spirited and impressive.

Joy, excitement, and happiness... these common words are not enough to describe his current mood.

Tachibana Aoto was seriously injured, and the army was short of soldiers and generals - this was already known to everyone in the Ichibashi camp.

Everyone in the Hitotsubashi camp knew that one of the biggest difficulties in making the coup successful was how to break through the Edo Castle guarded by Tachibana Aoto.

Since the "Nanki Faction" has transferred the Shinsengumi to guard the "Sanjuroku Mitsuke", it is impossible for Tachibana Aoto not to participate in the defense of Edo Castle.

Defeating Tachibana Aoto...under normal circumstances, this would definitely be an arduous task as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Normally, if someone said to Suzuki Toranosuke, "Go kill Tachibana Aoto!", Suzuki Toranosuke would definitely regard the other person as a lunatic.

If the feudal lord had given him such an order, he would definitely subconsciously think that the feudal lord was deliberately trying to harm him, and would begin to reflect on whether he had done anything wrong recently that led the feudal lord to order him to die.

But now, with the blessing of the right time, place and people, this is no longer an unattainable goal!

Killing the King of Mercy——the achievement that countless strong men and extraordinary people have been unable to achieve, will be accomplished by him...When Suzuki Toranosuke thought of this, he could not suppress his excitement! The corners of his lips lifted up uncontrollably! He was overjoyed!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at the Edo Castle that was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, he seemed to have seen the fall of Edo Castle, the deaths of Tokugawa Iemochi and Aoto, and his own achievements that would never be forgotten!

——My lord, thank you very much!

He silently expressed his most sincere gratitude to the feudal lord in his heart.

Thanks to the feudal lord's appreciation, he had the opportunity to leave his name in the glorious history!

At this moment, the soldiers of the Mito army were like a surging wave, splashing all the way to an inconspicuous street.

It is no more than a hundred meters long and only wide enough for ten soldiers to walk side by side.

After the 3,000 soldiers of the Mito army poured into this street, they immediately filled the not-so-spacious street.

If you look down from above, you can see densely packed heads, like weeds in the woods.

Suzuki Toranosuke was ecstatic because he felt he was about to accomplish something great.

The other soldiers were also ecstatic because they felt that this battle would be extremely easy and that Tachibana Aodeng, who was at the end of his rope, was no longer able to stop them.

Everyone had a smiling face and a light and cheerful atmosphere was spreading.

It was as if they were not here to fight, but to march in an armed parade.

However, as the general of the army, Suzuki Toranosuke still did some superficial work.

He cleared his throat and shouted:

"Everyone, cheer up! Tachibana Aoto is a swordsman unrivaled in the world! Even if he is a tiger without claws, he must not be underestimated!"

After shouting, he suddenly drew the sword from his waist and raised it high above his head:

"Soldiers! Let's cheer together! Let the enemy army hear the shouts of us Mito men! Hey-hey-"

The next moment, three thousand soldiers shouted in unison:

“Oooooohh ...

“Eh—eh—”

“Oooooohh ...

The inspiring victory raised the morale of the entire army to a new peak.

The Mito soldiers were immersed in this high morale, and the ground was stomped with a "dong dong" sound.

This "immersion" made their military appearance more fierce and intimidating.

But… it was precisely because of this “immersion” that they were completely unaware that right beside them, on the east side of the street, on the roof of a certain store, a tall figure was swaying slightly…

Qing Deng crouched on the eaves, skillfully hiding himself in the shadows, quietly observing the army below.

After most of the Mito Army soldiers entered the street, he silently drew the Vairocana from his waist.

In the sunlight, the enchanting purple-black blade light was reflected.

…

…

Up to now, Qing Deng has fought less than the number of battles on his palms.

For this reason, Qing Deng never dared to call himself a "military god" or "tactical master".

However, during his limited military career, he did learn some practical secrets about how to fight.

In his opinion, generally speaking, there are only two tactics that can be used to defeat a larger force with a smaller one.

Or concentrate troops on a local battlefield, create local advantages, defeat the enemy one by one, and continuously accumulate advantages until the "advantage" turns into "victory."

Or launch a surprise attack and strike directly at the heart of the enemy!

To catch a thief, first catch the leader; to shoot a person, first shoot the horse - this is the eternal and universal tactic.

Faced with the 3,000 fierce and ferocious Mito men, the "Nanji Faction" seemed to have no idea what to do - but in fact, Qing Deng soon discovered the weakness of the Mito army.

First, no matter how powerful the Mito army was, it could not escape the shackles of the "feudal army".

A major characteristic of the "feudal army" is its extremely low level of organization.

When the going is good, they are like wolves and tigers, but when they encounter adversity and danger, their true colors are immediately revealed.

Second, no matter how powerful the Mito army was, they could not deploy their troops immediately on the narrow streets.

Once attacked, the head will not be able to take care of the tail, and the tail will not be able to take care of the head, and there will be chaos!

Qingdeng currently has too few soldiers and generals that can be freely mobilized, and does not even have the strength to create a local advantage.

Therefore, the only strategy he could choose to turn the tables was the latter - a surprise attack on the Mito army!

Before the Mito army arrives at the battlefield, launch a surprise attack on them as they pass through a certain street! Use a fierce and fiery quick attack to defeat the Mito army in one go!

The plan has been decided. But new problems arise: who will implement this plan?

Harada Sanosuke and others have no strength left.

Although Tianzhangyuan has good skills, she is not capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility.

So... after thinking about it, Qing Deng could only think of himself as the right candidate!

Facing an army of three thousand with one's own strength... Although it was a surprise attack rather than a head-on attack, it was undoubtedly a risky move with a high risk of death!

Even in his prime, Qing Deng would not dare to use such chaotic tactics without authorization, let alone in his current "half-crippled" state?

The reason why he showed a rare indecisive look just now was because he was not sure of "defeating the Mito army".

It was not until he heard what Tian Zhangyuan said that he made up his mind.

Qing Deng asked himself: I have never been a wise man who excels in strategy.

All along, what he is best at is "overcoming skill with force" - using brute force to break the situation!

No need for any clever strategies or tactical arrangements, as long as your hands can still hold the knife, that's enough!

Whenever you encounter hardship or crisis, use the knife in your hand to carve out a piece of sky for yourself!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Don’t worry about anything else, just swing the sword!

It is not difficult to monitor the movements of three thousand troops.

After entering Edo Town, his every move was under the surveillance of the spies arranged by Qing Deng.

Qing Deng soon learned the specific movements of the Mito army, and based on their direction of advance, predicted that their target was Kohinata Gomon.

So he took the lead and came to the street that the Mito army must pass by, hid on the roof of a shop, and then waited quietly for the Mito army to fall into the trap.

As it stands, things are going pretty well.

As Qing Deng expected, the Mito army really entered this street.

They were full of confidence and fighting spirit, and they didn't notice Qing Deng hiding in the shadows at all.

They probably never thought that Qing Deng, who was seriously injured, could still fight! They also never thought that Qing Deng would dare to fight against their huge army alone!

The fact that they didn't expect it was normal.

Who could have thought that there would be such a madman in this world?

The Mito men, who lacked basic knowledge of the "Nioh Invasion", marched through the streets without any precautions.

In a moment, the middle part of the queue was exposed in front of Qing Deng.

This scene and situation is like a wild wolf exposing its soft belly!

Seeing that the time was almost right, Qingdeng silently pulled out a piece of linen from his arms and used it to tie his right palm tightly to the hilt of Vairocana's sword.

Then, half helplessly and half self-mockingly, he thought to himself:

——I didn’t expect… that I’d have the opportunity to try out my new talent so soon.

After copying the eternal talent "Heartless Demon Child" from Shuten Douji, Qing Deng had an additional wonderful feeling.

To give a vivid example, it’s like having an extra “switch” in your brain.

As long as he flicks this "switch", he can enter the "state of no self"!

With a slight movement of the mind, one can control the supreme realm at will... Only after experiencing it personally can one intuitively feel how domineering this talent is!

At this moment, without any warning... Qing Deng half-closed his eyes and exhaled all the foul air in his lungs.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The footsteps of the Mito army became louder and louder.

The sound of footsteps was like layers of barriers, dominating Qingdeng's eardrums.

He could hear no sound now, only the continuous heavy footsteps.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, he thought of Tianzhangyuan again.

(Sheng Qing...will I still have a chance to go to Otsu?)

His back still retained the other person's body temperature, and his clothes on his back still had the wrinkles from the other person's tight grasp.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Then, he thought of the unconscious Tokugawa Iemochi and the weak and pitiful Kazunomiya...

“…”

He lowered his head little by little and buried his face in the shadow.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the sound of footsteps in his ears was as loud as thunder.

At the same moment, he whispered:

"Let's go together... to Otsu...!"

The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange light could be seen flashing in his eyes!

A moment later, he jumped up like an onion in dry land! He leaped into the air, and then fell straight into the center of the enemy's formation!

In a flash, he used the potential energy of his fall to smash into the enemy group like a cannonball!

There happened to be an enemy soldier standing where he landed.

This guy - this poor guy, didn't even have time to scream before he was torn into two clean halves by Vairocana's blade.

The thumping sound of footsteps suddenly stopped.

After his feet landed on the ground, Qing Deng did not hesitate at all. He quickly changed his body posture, using his left foot as the axis, and spun his body like a gyroscope. The sharp blade in his palm spun with his body, cutting out a fleeting arc of silver light - after the move, the "silver arc" turned into a "blood arc", sweeping down a large number of people.

This knife contains the strategy for the next knife.

In a flash, Qing Deng stepped forward quickly and broke through the layers of defense.

Others only saw the demon sword in his hand turn into a blurry afterimage, which flashed once, flashed again, and flashed three times! It kept flashing!

Every time the purple blade of Vairocana flashed, one or more people would spurt blood and fall to the ground.

In a blink of an eye, more than twenty people fell under Qing Deng's knife!

It is most appropriate to describe his current attack as “cutting the Gordian knot”!

"What's going on?!"

"What happened?!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"What? Enemy attack?! Where is the attack? How many people are there?!"

"One, one person! Just one person came!"

"one person?!"

As expected, the Mito army, which was suddenly attacked, fell into chaos.

With Qing Deng as the center, the Mito men around him were no longer in order after suffering a fierce attack.

At this moment, someone in front of Qing Deng - he was probably used to "Dojo Competition" - subconsciously screamed:

"Who are you? Tell me your name!"

Qing Deng shook the sword vigorously, shaking off the remaining blood on the blade, and sword energy burst out!

"Niou, Tachibana Aoto!"

At the same moment he loudly announced his home, he raised the Vairocana in his hand and slashed at the enemy group in front.

At this moment, the figure facing the three thousand troops alone will be permanently engraved in the glorious history.

PS: In the last chapter, many book friends reminded Baobaozi: Don't do such a lousy thing as the "empty city plan". What are you thinking? After reading this, don't you know who Qingdeng is? He is a big wild man!
