Looking around, the officers and soldiers of the Changzhou Army all had their mouths shut, their faces gloomy and depressed.

It was obviously a huge military camp, but it was eerily quiet.

Suddenly! A dense roar suddenly sounded from the position of the Huisa Allied Forces in the distance!

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

The dense gunfire tore apart the silence of the night!

Following the sound, I saw an ever-changing red light emerging from the ground.

Each ball of light rose high into the sky, and then fell like raindrops! Falling straight towards the Changzhou Army's position!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Raging flames.

Splattering shrapnel.

The originally orderly Changzhou military formation suddenly became extremely chaotic!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The gangsters and thieves are setting off firecrackers!"

"Don't panic! Hold your ground!"

Chonk, bang, bang, bang... Katsura Kogoro looked at the military formation of the Huisa Allied Forces in the distance with an expressionless face, and slowly drew his sword out of its sheath.

"It's finally here..."

…

…

Huisa Allied Forces, our formation——

The air was acrid and pungent, filled with thick cannon smoke and heavy fog.

Saigo Yoshinosuke held up the military equipment in his hand:

"put!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was another burst of intensive artillery fire.

The gunners of the Satsuma Army loaded the shells with skillful movements, pulled out the fuses - boom - new sparks burst out on the ground.

The artillery pieces produced at the Satsuma Military Factory were arranged in a neat line and fired in turn.

Such intensive firepower and such skillful artillery techniques not only frightened the enemy's Satsuma Army, but also our own Aizu Army.

Matsudaira Yongho narrowed his eyes and stared at the Satsuma artillery formation not far away with deep meaning, thinking to himself:

——The firearms unit of the Satsuma Army is indeed as powerful as rumored...

The Satsuma Domain, which has achieved a certain degree of industrialization early on, has always maintained a powerful firearms force - this rumor has been around for a long time.

It was not until today that Matsudaira Yongho saw the power of the Satsuma Firearms Team for the first time!

To be honest, even Matsudaira Yongho couldn't help but be shocked and happy.

——Fortunately, the Satsuma Army is our friendly army...

The Satsuma Army is like a very heavy weight.

No matter which end of the scale it falls on, it will cause major changes in the situation!

If the Satsuma Army forms an alliance with the Shinsengumi and Aizu Army, they can defeat the Choshu Army.

On the contrary, if the Satsuma Army forms an alliance with the Choshu Army, it will bring huge trouble to Ayoto and Matsudaira Yongho!

Both the Shinsengumi and the Aizu Army currently lack the means and capabilities to counter firearms.

Just when Matsudaira Yoshiho was lost in thought, the most powerful general of the Aizu army—Sagawa Kanbei—suddenly rode up to him.

"Lord, it's our turn."

Matsudaira Yongho nodded slightly, then raised the military equipment in his hand.

"Aizu Cavalry, go into battle!"

…

…

At this moment——

Kyoto, somewhere in the southern suburbs——

The three warriors stood side by side, looking at the battlefield in the distance that had already begun.

The physical features of these three people are very interesting.

The person in the middle has a very handsome face and exudes an elegant temperament.

At first glance, I thought he was a young man from some scholarly family.

The warrior standing on his left has a tall, muscular body and a bald head like a monk. He is quite old, about 40 years old, with dark skin. Judging from his appearance, he is someone who is not easy to mess with.

people.

The warrior standing on his right is a bit ordinary. He has an ordinary build and appearance, and lacks memory points. Even if you look at his face ten times, it is difficult to remember his facial features. He is very young, 18 years old.

Above and below, the skin showed an unhealthy paleness.

Baldhead said:

"Jiutan Boyzi, the Huisa Allied Forces have begun to attack."

The handsome young master...that is, the Shuten boy said calmly:

"Yes, I saw it. Su Nuo, you have good eyesight. Please help me see how the battle is going."

Su Nuo... that is, that ordinary guy, sighed lightly:

"Shuten Doji, no matter how good my eyesight is, it will eventually have its limit..."

Although he was complaining, Su Nuo still stretched his neck obediently and looked far away:

"Well...Umibozu, I can lend you your neck."

As he said that, he jumped up without any explanation and rode on the bald man's neck.

Master Haifang did not object to Su Nuo's decision. Instead, he raised his hands to help support Su Nuo's legs.

"Well... the Aizu cavalry are dispatched. It won't be long before the Choshu Army will engage the enemy."

The drinking boy pondered for a moment.

"It's not good...the Huisa coalition forces are moving faster than I expected..."

Master Umibo took over the conversation.

"Based on the current state of Changzhou, they may have to reduce their number by more than two-thirds to escape the encirclement and suppression by the Huisa coalition forces."

Shuten Doji curled his lips:

"Changzhou is very dangerous."

Su Nuo interjected:

"Shuten Doji, are we going to support him?"

Shuten Doji replied without thinking:

"Of course! For the sake of future plans, we cannot just watch Changzhou suffer heavy losses."

After saying that, he slowly pulled out the knife from his waist.

"Let's go, Master Haifang, Su Nuo, it's time to get to work!"

As soon as he finished speaking, sharp clangs sounded from his left and right sides respectively.

Umibozu pulled out the Odachi sword from his back.

Su Nuo drew out the two swords behind him.

"You guys, please don't die."

Shuten Doji curled up the corners of his mouth and adopted a tone that was half joking and half serious.

"We have lost Rakshasa and our strength has been greatly reduced."

"You two are important pillars of the Hōzhu Party, and are the highest fighting force at the moment besides me and Otakemaru."

"If you die, Mr. Orochi will be very sad."

"I don't want to make Mr. Orochi sad."

As soon as Shuten Doji finished speaking, Master Umibo and Su Nuo both laughed:

"Shuten Doji, who do you think we are? When I was the leader, you were still wearing crotchless pants."
