As expected, Sakai Town Gomon, which has the most open terrain and is most conducive to the deployment of troops, has indeed become a "hot spot area."

Click, click, click, click, click...

The nails rubbed together and the footsteps made a sound.

Group after group of heavily armed soldiers sprang out from far away street corners, poured onto the streets, and rushed straight towards the imperial palace, gradually converging into one group.

After a while, a huge flag came into everyone's sight.

The white flag is painted with the word "three stars" - it is the family crest of the Choshu Maori family!

With the appearance of the Changzhou Army, the scene instantly became "lively".

"Look! It's from Changzhou! The people from Changzhou are coming!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Iron gunners come forward!"

…

"It's Mitsuha Aoi and Marujichi! It's the Aizu Army and the Satsuma Army!"

"What?! Why is Satsuma here?!"

"Have Aizu and Satsuma teamed up?"

"Nonsense! Isn't this obvious?!"

"Where is the Shinsengumi?! Have you seen the Shinsengumi?!"

"No!"

"Array! Array!"

…

The flat open space outside the Sakai Town Imperial Gate is crowded with swords and swords!

Matsudaira Yongho calmly looked at the Changshu Army who finally appeared on the scene, without any fear.

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly:

"Changzhou has been relieved of the duty of guarding the forbidden gate! Why don't you retreat quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Changzhou army roared:

"This is the place protected by our Choshu clan! Get out of the way!"

Choking! Choking! Choking! Choking! Choking! Choking...

The sound of swords drawn one after another rang out from the Changzhou military formation, further increasing the tense atmosphere at the scene.

Matsudaira Yongho waved his big hand calmly.

Click! Click! Click! Click! Click...

The iron gunners of Aizu raised their muskets one after another.

At the same time, the Satsuma Army, which was defending the Sakai Town Imperial Gate together with the Aizu Army, also launched an operation.

Saigo Kinosuke raised the military equipment in his hand.

Click! Click! Click! Click! Click...

Another row of muskets.

The Satsuma soldiers followed closely behind the Aizu soldiers and launched a musket formation.

The dark muzzle of the gun is pointed directly at the Changzhou Army!

The "arms display" of the Huisa Allied Forces is not over yet!

Suddenly, the sound of "Gulu" and "Gulu" wheels turning from far to near reached the ears of Changzhou people.

Following the sound, four cannons appeared in the rear of the Huisa Allied Forces!

More than a dozen soldiers pushed these four cannons and lined up in front of the formation.

Although these four cannons are heavy, shabby old antiques, they are cannons.

One shot will definitely plow a bloody path in the Changzhou army formation!

Cannons are the most lethal weapons on the battlefield - even those who are obsessed with "holding this Tiangang Sword, foreigners are just shit" have to admit this fact.

The reputation of the "God of War" is by no means unearned.

In the recent Xiaguan War, the Changzhou people, who had always been arrogant and looked down on the Western countries from the bottom of their hearts, had to obediently roll out artillery to fight against the American and French coalition forces.

With the appearance of these four cannons, the morale of the Huisa coalition increased greatly.

As for the officers and soldiers of the Changzhou Army, their faces changed color and their cheeks were full of fear.

Aizu and Satsuma have been preparing for this day for a long time.

Not only the maximum strength was mobilized, but also all the guns and artillery that could be collected were mobilized.

On the other hand, Changzhou... they didn't know about the imperial changes until just now, so they didn't have time to make decent preparations.

Even the soldiers currently gathered here were temporarily assembled and pieced together.

The only weapons they can use right now are the sabers on their waists.

To attack with preparedness and reserve, to attack with more calculations and less calculations, this is the natural result.

One street, two camps, and three armies, just facing each other with a distance of only ten meters!

"Tight", "nervous", "creepy", "scary"...these ordinary words are no longer enough to describe the atmosphere here and now!

It's like falling into a spark and causing a huge explosion!

There is no doubt that at this juncture, once any soldier on both sides makes an extreme move, such as a gun misfiring, a bloody battle will instantly occur!

The officers and soldiers of the Changzhou Army were gnashing their teeth and their eyes were bloodshot, like injured beasts.

After a short period of adaptation, their anger towards the Huisa Allied Forces has outweighed their fear of guns, and they seemed ready to pounce on them at any time and fight to the death with the Huisa Allied Forces.

Sanjo Sanmi stood blankly on the side of the street, eyes wide open, staring blankly at the tense situation in front of her.

Seeing that the Changzhou people had a tendency to take action, their complexions instantly turned pale.

He didn't care about his own image, nor did he care about using the "elegant" and babbling "gongqing accent" to speak.

"Stop! Stop! You can't do it! You can't do it!"

He waved his arms and rushed to the Changzhou military formation in three steps and two at a time, physically separating the two camps.

A certain general-level figure in the Changshu military formation recognized Sanjo Sanimi.

"Sanjo-sama?! Get out of the way! Be careful of getting hurt!"

Sanjo Sanimi ignored his advice, braced himself, stiffened his neck, raised his voice, and shouted hoarsely like a drake:

"Open your eyes and see clearly!"

"Behind the Aizu Army and the Satsuma Army is the Imperial Palace!"

"If you launch an attack, the Imperial Palace will be implicated!"

"In this case, you... no, Changzhou will be recognized as an enemy of the DPRK!"

Chao Enemy - upon hearing this word, all the Changzhou soldiers present changed their expressions.

The enemy of the court is the enemy of the court.

In Japanese history, "North Korea enemy" is a complex and influential political term.

The party labeled as an "enemy" will be at an extremely disadvantageous position in public opinion.

In most cases, "facing the enemy" will be regarded as the enemy.

Those who were ordered to conquer the enemy were regarded as the righteous party and had full moral rights.

Beating up the North Korean enemy is absolute and unquestionable political correctness!

The most famous enemy of the imperial court in Japanese history was undoubtedly Taira Shomon who started a rebellion during the Heian period and proclaimed himself the "new emperor".

All in all, once he is recognized as an enemy of the DPRK, he will become a great traitor that everyone can kill!

Although there have been cases in Japan's history where it was identified as an "enemy" and then relied on sharp means to achieve counter-killing.

For example, Ashikaga Takauji, the first shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, was declared an enemy by Emperor Go-Daigo.

He won support and ultimately defeated Emperor Go-Daigo by wooing Emperor Kogen and using the proclamation of the court to confront Emperor Go-Daigo's edicts.

But... other forces can ignore the reputation of "enemy of Korea", but Changzhou can't!

The political proposition of "respecting the king and repelling the barbarians" is the foundation of Changzhou.

Vegetarians who advocate that "vegetarianism is good for the body and mind, but eating meat makes people evil" take the lead in eating a feast of meat... Is this okay?

If they attack the imperial palace and are labeled as "enemy of the imperial court", then the political stance that Choshu has always adhered to and the majestic image of "supporting the imperial court and loving the emperor" that they have painstakingly built over a long period of time will instantly collapse!

The harm this has caused to Changzhou is absolutely unbearable!
