As Harada Sanosuke said, after a period of chaos, the Choshu Army has gradually restored order.

Although there are still many people running around and shouting, but gradually, more and more people are calming down, gradually stabilizing the order, leading the team, and trying to fight back.

Just looking at the equipment and posture of these guys, you can tell that they are well-trained military elites.

In addition to common weapons such as spears and knives, the shadow of muskets can be vaguely seen.

Qingdeng wanted to make another big fuss, but judging from the current situation, it was no longer suitable to stay here for a long time.

Anyway, I've seen everything I wanted to see, so I won't suffer any loss if I leave now.

Therefore, Qingdeng made a decisive decision and immediately ordered:

"Let's go, retreat!"

After saying that, he tightened the reins in his hands and turned the bull's head.

Harada Sanosuke and others responded one after another, adjusting the direction with uniform movements.

The wedge-shaped cavalry formation suddenly made a 180-degree turn, no longer attacking deep into the camp, but breaking out of the camp along the road it came from.

When the surrounding Changzhou generals saw this, they were all furious.

"Don't let them go!"

"Come on!"

"Damn it! How dare you look down on us! Do you think you can come and leave this place whenever you want?!"

Just a few dozen riders dared to charge directly into their camp, not only causing a scene, but also escaping unscathed... If word of this got out, the world would be ridiculed!

In order to save face and honor, countless Changzhou generals rushed up from all directions, trying to intercept Qingdeng and others.

Of course, a human's two legs cannot outrun a horse's (ox's) four hooves.

Those who hold long guns and shoot knives are destined to be an atmosphere group, shouting twice to increase the atmosphere.

The only ones who could effectively cause damage to Qingdeng and others were the archers holding bows, arrows and muskets.

However, as we all know, the crossbow is a very delicate weapon.

Once it encounters rain or snow, and the bowstring becomes wet, its elasticity will be greatly reduced, which will greatly reduce the range and power of the arrow.

The same goes for guns.

When the bowstring gets wet, the range and power are only affected.

Whether it is a matchlock gun or a flintlock gun, if these guns get wet, they will not even be used and will directly degrade into fire sticks.

The principle of shooting a matchlock gun is to use a burning match rope to ignite the gunpowder.

The shooting principle of a flintlock gun is to use flint to strike the fire door to generate sparks to ignite the gunpowder.

Therefore, when using matchlocks and flintlock guns, great efforts must be made to prevent moisture.

If you can't even shoot out sparks, then why launch one?

At this moment, the Changzhou generals were caught in this dilemma.

The heavy wind and snow destroyed most of their long-range weapons.

Bows and arrows cannot shoot far, and muskets cannot be used.

Although there are gunshots like "bang", "bang" and "bang" from time to time, these sporadic shootings... at best are better than nothing, at worst they are useless!

When breaking out of the encirclement, Qingdeng did not forget to cause chaos to the Changzhou Army.

He raised the Bizen Nagafune in his hand, bit it in his mouth, then took off the Isezawa Hiro from the saddle and turned half of his body.

While turning around, he took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation to nock an arrow and load the bow.

Nature never favors anyone.

Since this wind and snow can make Changzhou's archers suffer, it will naturally have a negative impact on Qingdeng's shooting.

However, he directly relied on the super high performance of the bow in his hand, as well as his outstanding archery skills and superior brute force to make up for the negative impact of the wind and snow!

The next moment after he drew the bow like a full moon, the power accumulated in his arms suddenly jumped out - Whoosh!

Arrows shot through the air.

The darkness swallowed up the arrow in an instant - and then there was the sound of something falling to the ground in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, shrill exclamations overwhelmed most of the sounds at the scene.

"The torch fell down! Put out the fire quickly!!"

In the Edo period, people's fear of fire was deeply rooted in their bones.

In an instant, invisible fear spread rapidly among the Changzhou army.

Qingdeng did not shoot anyone again, but drew his bow and shot at the torches!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One arrow after another, Qingdeng drew the bow repeatedly, and the arrows were all fired.

These downed torches either fell into the snow and went out soon; or they fell onto the tent, turning it into a "fire tent."

In order to suppress the fire, the Changzhou Army had to dedicate part of its troops to put out the fire.

In this way, it will be more difficult to form a joint force to encircle Qingdeng and others.

Faced with this sparse and fragile encirclement network, Qingdeng and others were cutting melons and vegetables all the way, and they were overwhelmed.

In this way, Qingdeng and others broke through the blockades of Changzhou generals without any obstacles, stepped through the camp entrance, and walked away...

The Changzhou generals "hooked" and "hooked" to catch up.

When he couldn't run anymore, he stood there blankly, staring stupidly at the backs of Qingdeng and others that gradually became distant and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In fact, it took less than 10 minutes from the time Qingden and others stormed the camp to the time they left in a swaggering manner.

But in this short period of 10 minutes, Qingdeng and others used an invincible and fierce offensive, which brought unspeakable shock to the Changzhou generals!

Not only did they kill countless people, but they also destroyed countless facilities.

The Changzhou camp, which was originally neat and orderly, has now become extremely chaotic.

There were broken bodies everywhere.

The ground was trampled and muddy everywhere.

There were cries and wails everywhere.

Compared with 10 minutes ago, the contrast between before and after is so huge that it is jaw-dropping!

The Changzhou generals looked at each other and looked at each other - they all found strong surprise, uneasiness and fear on each other's faces.

…

…

Yizhoukou, the shogunate camp——

After learning that Ayoto and others had returned safely, Hijikata Toshizo, Shannan Keisuke and others immediately led their generals to wait outside the camp.

After a while, the triumphant team appeared in front of them in the distance.

Even though they were still quite a distance apart, they could still smell the stench of blood.

The commotion caused by Seito and others was so great that it once spread to the shogunate camp several kilometers away.

Although they had expected it, many people at the scene couldn't help but be surprised when Qingdeng and others returned.

To put it simply, up and down the whole team, the sword will see blood and the horse (ox) will gasp!

Even the cavalry at the end of the queue, the least likely to encounter the enemy, had a lot of blood splattered on them.

Not to mention Ayoto and Harada Sanosuke who were always charging ahead - they scrapped another piece of clothing.

Such a large area of ​​blood stains cannot be cleaned even if the fabric is damaged.

Because they had just left the battlefield, there was a faint translucent heat—the heat rising from their body temperature and their uncooled blood—wafting out from their bodies.

During this expedition, many "newcomers" came who had rarely or even never seen Qingdeng before.

For example, Tokugawa Yoshikatsu, the lord of the Owari clan, and Shigeaaki Matsudaira, the lord of the Echizen clan, had little contact with Aoto before.

Witnessing with their own eyes the God of War who dared to charge straight into the enemy camp with only a few dozen cavalry, and returned safely after being covered in blood, they couldn't help but swallow, their heads lowered unconsciously, and they did not dare to look directly at Qingdeng.

As for those who had known Qingdeng's abilities for a long time, most of them looked at Qingdeng with admiration.

Hijikata Toshizo glanced at the team behind Qingden and grinned:

"It seems like no one is left behind. This surprise attack tonight will probably go down in history."

After rushing out of the enemy camp, Qingdeng had already counted the personnel - there were no casualties!

No one was injured, and no one died... Such a record is truly terrifying!
To be continued...
