Although most of the projectiles were empty, one projectile flew straight towards Qingdeng's chest.

There are dangers in all directions... If it were someone else, facing such a dangerous situation, I'm afraid there would be nothing they can do.

But for Qingdeng, he has already experienced this level of crisis countless times!

His sharp eyes like a razor blade quickly glanced around, identifying the positions of the enemies and thinking about strategies.

His rich combat experience enabled him to immediately formulate perfect countermeasures.

In an instant, his left hand, which was tightly grasping the enemy's gun on the left, jerked back - ordinary people simply could not resist Qingdeng's strange strength.

The gun was taken away from the man without even a decent struggle, and the skin on both hands was torn violently, causing him to scream in pain.

After grabbing the musket, Qingdeng did not keep it in his hand, but instead threw it to the right.

The sharp, gleaming bayonet directly hit the enemy on his right! It stabbed straight into his chest! It was completely engulfed!

The man's eyes were wide open and blood was spitting from his mouth. The knife that was only a few inches away from Qingdeng's forehead froze in the air and could no longer be slashed.

When seizing the gun with his left hand, Aomori's right hand was not idle - the talent "left and right fighting" was activated - the blade of Bizen Nagafune passed through the air and swiped diagonally at the enemy behind him.

The opponent is very tall and not smaller than Qingden, so the attack range of both sides is roughly the same.

Generally speaking, Qingteng who makes a move late in the shot cannot touch the opponent at all - of course, this is just "generally speaking".

When swinging the knife, Qingdeng once again used his old trick: quietly changing the grip, and with the blessing of talents such as "Skillful Hands +5", "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers +3", he clamped the knife tightly with his index finger and middle finger

The bottom of the handle.

In this way, the cutting range can be greatly expanded!

The small distance that was forcibly extended was just enough for the tip of the knife to slit the opponent's throat.

When he sheathed the knife, he had calculated in advance and used his hand to smash the bullet flying towards his chest.

With a crisp "pop" sound, it was like a firecracker exploding, with dazzling sparks bursting out in the air and projectile fragments flying everywhere.

Since Qingdeng can dodge bullets, it is no problem to smash the bullets flying towards him.

It's a pity that the toughness of the Bizen Nagabune is still a little weak.

Although the projectile was successfully broken into pieces, a conspicuous gap was still left on the blade.

As soon as the Bizen Nagabune returned to Seito's hand, he swung it out again without stopping, cutting down the enemy on the left to the ground.

At this point, with superb combat skills and unparalleled physical fitness, the enemies in front, behind, left and right were all killed! It took no more than 5 seconds!

Only the man pinned down by Qingdeng was still alive.

Qingdeng pressed his knee firmly on his neck, preventing him from moving and making it difficult for him to breathe.

From the beginning, he completely lost the ability to resist due to cerebral ischemia and inability to breathe. His eyes rolled up, he foamed at the mouth, and he almost lost consciousness.

Qingdeng did not forget the person beneath him - he exerted a little force, heard a "click" and sent him off.

Although the surrounding enemies have been dealt with, the musketeers in the distance are still alive.

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

Even Qingdeng would not fight off multiple musketeers in an open space without obstacles.

He rolled like a donkey and dodged to the right.

He dodged directly into a trench not far away.

This is a trench half a man deep, where several Changzhou Army gunners are hiding.

These people had been concentrating on dealing with the attacking Shinsengumi soldiers. When they saw Nioh coming to my side, their expressions changed. They subconsciously turned their guns and pointed them at Aomori, preparing to pull the trigger.

Their reaction speed is very fast, but Qingdeng's knife is even faster!

He lowered his upper body, like a whirlwind, and stood up to face the gun.

Step in, charge up, swing the sword, step in again, charge up again, swing the sword again - Qing Teng repeats this process with flowing movements.

I saw blood foam spurting out one after another, much like the splash of water after waves hit the rocks.

Blood sprayed, skin and flesh cracked, bones broke, and the dead enemies fell to the left and right.

In the blink of an eye, Qingdeng cleared the trench.

Continuous fierce battles without any chance of respite caused the blood and fat to stain the blade of the Bizen longship, as if it had been coated with a film and became no longer sharp.

Therefore, when Aoto climbed out of the trench, he clamped the blade of the Bizen Nagafune tightly with the crook of his left arm and wiped the blade clean with the clothes in the crook of his arm.

Even though we were only gone for a moment, the scene outside the trench was already completely different.

Under the fierce attack led by Souji and Saito Kazuo, the large force caught up with Aoto.

The Shinsengumi soldiers swarmed forward, looking for enemy soldiers everywhere and defeating them.

The few musketeers who had been shooting at Qingdeng just now were all scattered by the fierce offensive.

Looking up, there are obviously more light onion colors than other variegated colors.

There is no doubt that the enemy's defense line is crumbling!

As a result, Qingdeng immediately shouted:

"Follow me! Break through the enemy's formation!"

After roaring, he regained control of the Bizen longboat, pursued the enemy, and headed for the top of the mountain.

The members of the Shinsengumi marched forward bravely, following Qingden like wolves and tigers.

Under normal circumstances, Qingdeng might have enjoyed the feeling of fighting hand to hand and charging into battle.

But at this moment...he had no intention of thinking about sorrow and joy.

There is only one thought in his mind now: Defeat the enemy force in front of him as soon as possible! Join Hijikata Toizo who is stationed at Hachioji and rush to support Edo!

Not to mention the mother and son who were very important to him, a large number of his relatives and friends - everyone in the Imperial Guard Hall, everyone in the Chiba family, and a group of friends headed by Katsu Rintaro - all lived in Edo.

How can we sit back and watch them in danger?

In this way, Qingdeng didn't care about fatigue or hardship, and forced his body to fight!

…

…

Nangong Mountain, the top of the mountain, the team’s main formation——

Takasugi Shinsaku held the demon sword Muramasa tightly in one hand, ready to "always fight", and held a telescope in the other hand to observe the current situation on the battlefield.

Omura Masujiro, the military advisor of the surprise force, stood beside him, also observing the battle situation with a telescope.

The northern battlefield...that is, the battlefield in charge of the Shinsengumi left-wing army, is so intense that it can be described as "bloody and bloody".

Isamu Kondo, Shinpachi Nagakura, Gensaburo Inoue, Kamo Serizawa and others are all fierce men with no shortage of bravery.

As soon as the battle began, they launched a desperate attack, causing the Changzhou Army's defense line to retreat continuously.

However, although the Shinsengumi left-wing army was steadily advancing on the front, the speed of its advance was still within the expectations of Takasugi Shinsaku and others.

On the other hand, looking at the southern battlefield...that is, the battlefield that Aoto was personally responsible for, the changes in the battle situation were completely beyond Takasugi Shinsaku and others' expectations!

Through the lens of the telescope, they could clearly see Qingdeng's heroic appearance in which the gods could block the gods and the Buddha could block the Buddhas!

No matter whether it's advanced guns or carefully deployed defense lines, they can't stop him in the slightest.

Under Aomori's personal leadership, the Shinsengumi right-wing army's offensive was truly overwhelming and unstoppable!

Suddenly, Takasugi Shinsaku slowly put down the telescope in his hand and murmured with a solemn expression:

"...We still underestimate Niou too much."

Omura Masujiro on the side answered quietly:

"This kind of desperate Saburo who doesn't care about his own life and is very good at fighting will often become a major variable on the battlefield."

Takasugi Shinsaku came back:

"The battlefield in the south is not optimistic. If it continues like this, let alone 'sustaining it for three days', whether it can last until tomorrow morning is a question."

As soon as he finished speaking, Masujiro Omura chuckled:

"Mr. Takasugi, there is no need to panic."

"It is true that with King Ni's leadership, the battle situation in the south was even more unsatisfactory than we expected."

"But don't forget, the south is the front where we have put the most effort and defended it most closely."

"According to Niou's current advancement speed...he will hit the 'high wall' soon."

"With that 'high wall' we carefully laid out, we can hold them back for at least two days no matter what!"

After hearing this, Takasugi Shinsaku said calmly with an expressionless face:

"I hope so."
