Chapter 940 Sekigahara’s great victory! Hijikata Suisan Tuogu! [Leopard Update 7K2!](2/4)
Looking at the Ichimonji three-star flag that crashed to the ground, the soldiers around Kondo Yuu, as well as the soldiers slightly further away, let out loud cheers and spontaneously shouted "Eh! Eh! Oh!"
The winning coax.
The flag of the Raiders fell down, but the members of the Raiders here showed no intention of retreating.
They seemed determined to fight to the death and attacked Kondo Isamu and others without fear of death. They had the spirit of "I will support you even if I die".
Facts have proven that momentum is indeed the most important fighting quality.
After cutting down the flag of the Raiders, Isamu Kondo couldn't help but feel happy. His tense nerves relaxed, and fatigue and pain surged through his body like a tide.
And this caused him to lose more than half of his own momentum, and he could not return to his heroic state in a short period of time.
Facing the fierce attack of the enemy soldiers, his response became difficult and he was overwhelmed.
"Drink ah ah ah ah ah!"
Suddenly, a hoarse shout came from behind Isamu Kondo - an enemy soldier came in with a sword, and with a powerful momentum, he slashed at Isamu Kondo's back like a mountain bearing down on him.
Isamu Kondo had no time to turn around, so he could only retreat to the right driven by his instinctive reaction.
His dodge speed is indistinguishable from the opponent's slashing speed.
It's hard to tell whether he ducked first or whether the opponent's knife hit him first.
At this critical moment, a knife stretched out from the diagonal stab, blocking the slash for Kondo Isamu, and then drew a graceful arc in mid-air, cutting down the enemy soldier.
"Yong, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Kondo Isamu turned his head, and after seeing the person clearly, he twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a half-helpless, half-joking smile:
"Ju-kun, I have discovered that you are very good at 'appearing on time', always appearing at the most timely and clever moment."
Qingden smiled slightly, turned his right wrist, held a sword in his hand, and wiped away the remaining blood on the sword, then moved to Kondo Isamu and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
The enemy soldiers formed a half-moon formation and surrounded them both.
"Yong, can you still fight?"
“No problem!”
In the next breath, the two great swordsmen of Natural Rise and Shinryu strode toward the enemy group in front of them.
…
…
The wind and snow gradually stopped, and the clouds became thinner.
The sun slowly climbed to the highest point in the sky.
The warm warmth penetrates the gaps in the clouds and spreads to the world.
The road from the top of the mountain to the east foot is covered with mutilated corpses!
There are the remains of members of the Shinsengumi team wearing light green haori, as well as the remains of members of the Raiders.
Today, there are still many members of the Raid Forces who resolutely surrendered to the "Decisive Battle of Yodo" in order to fight against the Shinsengumi.
There are even many people like Takasugi Shinsaku who, even though they had taken "Decisive Battle" yesterday, today they swallowed the red pill without hesitation and were determined to face death.
With the blessing of "Decisive Battle of Yodo", they made up for the deficiencies in strength, morale and other aspects, causing great damage to the Shinsengumi.
Therefore, at first glance, it is impossible to tell which side has more corpses!
It can be said to be a road forged with blood!
Although it was extremely difficult and there were countless casualties, as if the entire Nangong Mountain was dyed scarlet with blood, such a huge sacrifice was not without reward.
The various fronts of the team were finally unable to withstand the onslaught of the Shinsengumi.
At this moment, looking across the entire Nangong Mountain, there is no trace of a member of the Qi Corps!
They were expelled from the territory of Nangong Mountain by the Shinsengumi team members!
Although there are still a lot of remnant soldiers, and if they really want to fight to the end, they will bring a lot of trouble to the Shinsengumi, but maybe they have received the order to "retreat", and they are no longer eager to fight, and they don't look back.
Withdrawn.
Aonto speculated that now that Takasugi Shinsaku is dead, the person in charge of commanding the team should be their military advisor Omura Masujiro.
After the entire army was driven out of Nangong Mountain, he had no enthusiasm and immediately calmly ordered a retreat to save the last remaining strength... Qingdeng had to give a very high evaluation to this decisive and wise decision.
The vast area of Nangong Mountain is the team's biggest support against the Shinsengumi.
There was no way they could stop the Shinsengumi's offensive on the vast plains.
If the battle begins on the plains, the two ace units of the Shinsengumi - the Artillery Corps (11th Division) and the Cavalry (7th and 10th Divisions) - will have a chance to show off their power.
What's more, the current Shinsengumi also has a guest force called the Aizu Cavalry to help them.
Plains are no different from mountains, and there are no complex terrains for avoiding artillery fire.
Leaving aside the assaults of the 7th and 10th divisions, the saturation bombing of the 11th division alone was enough to make the team of surprise troops fall off their feet.
Therefore, for the Qi soldiers, without the barrier of Nangong Mountain, there is no point in continuing this battle.
Even if we continue to fight, we won't be able to hold on for long, and it will only increase casualties.
Qingdeng had a clear order: There is no need to pursue the enemy troops. If they leave Nangong Mountain, just let them go and ignore them.
As a result, the soldiers of each division of the Shinsengumi stood at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Nangong Mountain, staring blankly at the fleeing enemy troops.
The Qi soldiers left Nangong Mountain and Sekigahara... What this meant was difficult for the team members to realize in a short time.
After a brief moment of confusion, someone suddenly started shouting, "Changzhou has withdrawn its troops!"
Immediately afterwards, cheers rang out one after another throughout all the teams and throughout Nangong Mountain!
"We've captured Sekigahara!"
"Win! We won!"
"Long live the Shinsengumi!"
"Long live Tachibana Aoden!"
"Eh! Eh! Oh!"
"Eh! Eh! Oh!"
"Eh! Eh! Oh!"
…
The noisy cheers gradually merged into a unified, loud and cheering cheer.
Compared to this increasingly heated and high-spirited atmosphere, Qing Deng's immediate reaction was very calm.
He threw away the unmarked knife he picked up casually in his palm and stared expressionlessly in the direction in which the team was escaping, without much joy on his face.
After a while, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at the distant eastern sky.
Kondo Isamu standing next to him said calmly:
"What a difficult victory..."
Qingdeng nodded lightly:
"Well, yes."
The specific casualties today have not yet been counted.
However, just by looking at the corpses on the ground, you can tell that this number is definitely not that small!
Whether it was the overall combat power of the team of surprise troops or the terrifying "Decisive Battle of Lake", Qingto and others were beyond their expectations.
Not only were there heavy casualties, but the time it took to capture Sekigahara also exceeded their expectations.
Before the war started, Aomori and others planned to break through Sekigahara within two days.
On the opposite side, Takasugi Shinsaku and others planned to block the Shinsengumi in Sekigahara for at least three days.
In the end, this battle that was destined to go down in history lasted for two and a half days... Judging from the length of time, the two sides were able to draw a tie, with no one getting any favors.
Although it cannot be regarded as a tragic victory, it is indeed as Kondo Isamu said: This is a difficult victory.
At this time, Isamu Kondo suddenly opened his mouth big enough to fit his entire fist and grinned:
"Tangerine-kun, let's have some fun now."
"No matter what, we won this second Sekigahara battle, which lasted two and a half days!"
"In the first Battle of Sekigahara 300 years ago, the Eastern and Western armies fought for only half a day to decide the winner, but we fought for a full two and a half days."
"In terms of days, our Sekigahara battle this time is much more intense!"
Hearing this, Qingdeng chuckled a few times, and the tense facial lines relaxed.
Suddenly, he let out a long breath, and an obvious look of tiredness appeared on his cheeks.
After the entire battle, he not only fought the entire battle, but also charged forward in every battle.
If Qingdeng was a small soldier, his performance and military exploits in this battle alone would be enough to be promoted to a general!
To be continued...
