To be honest, even today, Aoto is still not used to the Bizen Nagabune in his hands.

Whether it is toughness or sharpness, it is far inferior to Vairochana.

Of course, no matter what, this knife is a good thing after all.

Use it to cut meat, break bones, kill enemies and break formations, it will definitely be more than enough!

In the rain of dripping blood, Qingdeng turned around with lightning speed as soon as his feet landed on the ground and attacked the next enemy soldier.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Looking at Qingden approaching at a rapid speed, the opponent shouted to eliminate fear and pulled the trigger in his hand.

Bang!

Hot bullets pierced the chamber.

With the blessing of the talent "Eagle Eye +5", the trajectory of the projectile's flight was clearly visible to Qingden's eyes.

Qingdeng glanced at the position and flight direction of the projectile, then looked away, and continued running forward without warning or hiding - the projectile missed the target and flew into the sky.

The opponent fired at the wrong time.

He should wait until Qingden was closer before shooting.

When he just pulled the trigger, Qingden was twenty meters away - there was no way to guarantee a hit rate at such a distance, so it was natural for him to miss.

Slow rate of fire and complicated reloading are the biggest drawbacks of today's muskets.

Even experienced gunners have to spend about ten seconds to reload after firing a round. Such a long preparation time is obviously not conducive to street fighting, siege warfare, etc. where you need to face the enemy.

of battle.

Therefore, in order to make up for this shortcoming of the musket, people invented the bayonet.

When the bullets are out and there is no time to reload, you can use the bayonet to attack the enemy and use the musket as a spear.

The Changzhou Army currently defending Nangong Mountain is not only equipped with a large number of muskets, but also has a bayonet installed on the front end of each musket.

The distance of twenty meters - for Qingdeng, this is just a distance that can be reached by raising his feet.

Seeing that the attack missed and Qingdeng was already in front of him, the opponent immediately tightened his grip on the gun, shouted, straightened the gun, and stabbed Qingdeng in the chest.

Whether it's the forward stabbing action or the technique of pushing on the ground to use force, there is an air of proficiency in all of them.

You can tell at a glance that he has received relevant professional training.

However, if you think about it, you can't even defeat Qingden with long-range shooting, and it's even less likely to hurt him in close combat.

Compared to dodging bullets, Qingden has more experience dodging stabs!

I saw him twist slightly and move aside with ease.

The opponent holds the gun body tightly with both hands and stabs forward - with this action, the arms will naturally be raised and the armpits are freed.

Qingdeng seized on this flaw, lowered his body, and went straight towards the opponent's left armpit.

The moment he passed by, he stabilized the long boat in front of him, pressed the sword against the opponent's side, and then used the momentum of running forward to pull the sword to the tip in one breath!

Standard and superb cut in half.

After the sword flashed, only a little skin and flesh were left connecting the opponent's upper and lower bodies.

With his superb swordsmanship and extraordinary physical strength, Qingdeng was able to kill the good karma objects with a swipe that surpassed the lethality of the big karma objects!

Qingdeng didn't even look at the opponent who was taking in and out of breath, and threw him behind him. While vigorously shaking off the blood stains remaining on the blade, he continued to run forward, heading towards the mountain!

Unexpectedly, he had just taken a few steps——

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

The surrounding space was filled with gunshots one after another.

The "big net" woven by the flight trajectory of the projectiles looms over Qingdeng's head.

Because of the blessing of the talent "Unknown Prophet +9", Qingden does not have to pay attention to every projectile flying towards him.

If any projectile really posed a threat to him, he would immediately sense it and respond immediately.

In other words, he knew which bullets he had to dodge without using his eyes, and which bullets he could ignore without any fuss.

However, no matter how capable he is, he cannot move freely through a real hail of bullets.

The current wave of barrages forced him to temporarily avoid the edge.

Fortunately, there are ancient trees and boulders everywhere, and there is no shortage of obstacles.

Soon enough, Qingdeng Mao lowered his waist, rolled to the left, and hid behind the boulder next to him.

While rolling, he quickly swept his gaze to observe the battlefield.

As far as he could see, there were several fortresses made of sand, earth and rocks.

Behind each fort, there are hidden musketeers ranging from two to five people.

Seeing someone (Qingdeng) approaching, they uniformly adjusted their guns, aimed at Qingdeng, and poured out firepower.

At this time, someone recognized Qingdeng:

"It's 'Nioh' Tachibana Aoden!"

"What? Niou is out of battle?!"

"What's so strange about this! He's always been like this!"

"Quick! Kill him! As long as we kill King Ni, we will win half of this battle!"

"No matter how capable he is, he is still a human being! He will still die if he gets a bullet!"

Seeing Niou here, not only was he not frightened, but he fought bravely to take the lead... Based on this alone, this Changzhou Army can be regarded as a strong force with high fighting spirit.

Just when Qingdeng was secretly thinking about how to break through the blockade in front of him... the large troops from the rear arrived!

"shooting!"

Toudo Heisuke shouted loudly.

The next moment, behind him, countless muskets were deployed!

Accompanied by the sound of "click" and "click", the members of the Eighth Division set up their guns and pulled the trigger——

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

Barrage roared by.

In an instant, the space between the two armies was ravaged.

Wherever the barrage passed, branches broke and mud and sand flew.

The traces of destruction are being carved at an alarming speed.

The barrage fired by the Eighth Division did not hit any enemy, but it did destroy the enemy's morale.

The gunmen on the opposite side hunkered down and hid their entire bodies in the fortress, not daring to show their heads.

Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy troops were briefly suppressed, two figures - Souji and Saito Ichi - rushed out from the eighth division!

"Sorry, let me lend you my shoulder!"

After saying that, the chief executive jumped up, stepped on the shoulders of the person in front of him, and used his strength to jump up high like an onion on dry land.

Souji, who is so explosive, can jump so fast?

In just the blink of an eye, she landed directly on top of the enemy's formation.

Under her body, there was an enemy.

Just like Qing Teng just now, she held the Dingguishen in her palms tightly with both hands, aimed at the enemy, and used the momentum of the fall to slash the sword down hard.

This man had just fired a shot and had no time to reload, so he could only subconsciously raise the gun body in an attempt to block the chief's slashing blow - the result is needless to say.

Click, puff...the sound of the gun body being cut off and the sound of the limbs cracking sounded almost at the same time.

At the same time, Saitoichi in the other direction was also unwilling to be outdone.

Compared to Seito and Souji, Saito Kazuichi's actions are much more steady.

He did not adopt a particularly flamboyant style of play such as "jumping" or "frontally attacking".

Instead, he silently circled around and took advantage of the enemy's attention being attracted by the Eighth Division soldiers in front of him to sneak attack on the enemy's position from the slant.

By the time the enemy found him, he had already killed two of them.

Looking at the two men who were both killed, the enemy formation burst into exclamations:

"It's Souji Okita, captain of the first team, and Saitoichi, captain of the third team!"

Tachibana Aoden and Okita Souji—two of the most famous swordsmen in the Shinsengumi are here!

At the same time, facing the "Nioh" and the "Sword of Heaven"... In an instant, solemn air floated into the Changshu Army's position.

In contrast, the morale of the Shinsengumi was greatly boosted.

Looking at Seito and Souji standing together on the front line, the Shinsengumi soldiers in the rear cheered continuously.
