On this basis, "I don't know what kind of methods the enemy has used" makes them feel even more panicked.

Before the big explosion, Elodie was standing on the edge of the royal gate, so she could see it very clearly.

The enemy did not use cannons, but a more primitive weapon: bombs!

Those wooden barrels are all large bombs! They will explode as long as they are touched by fire!

Elodie doesn't understand military technology, but she has heard that it is not difficult to make bombs.

As long as there are gunpowder, sugar and other raw materials, even a child can make a large bomb.

She was very surprised when she learned that the sugar she often eats in her mouth can be used to make bombs. Because of this, she was deeply impressed by the weapon "bomb".

There are enough bombs for 8 large trolleys... God knows how much gunpowder and sugar it takes.

In order to blow up the Akasaka Imperial Gate, the enemy forces spent a lot of money.

Fortunately, this was not a big explosion that blew the entire city gate into the sky - if it had been an explosion of this magnitude, Elodie and the others would have been wiped out long ago.

The explosion just now only destroyed the foundation of the Goryeo Gate.

As the saying goes, "A embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest."

A large hole was blown out of the vital foundation, and the organizational structure of the Goryeo Gate was no longer sustainable, so it directly disintegrated, collapsed, and collapsed...

Because it collapsed slowly, there was a buffer, so Elodie and the others were able to save their lives.

At this time, a startled breath attracted Elodie's attention:

"Mr. Shimada! Mr. Shimada! Wake up quickly!"

Hearing this, a look of joy and sorrow immediately appeared on Elodie's cheeks.

She was happy to find Kui Shimada.

What worries her is... From the exclamation just now, Shimada Kui's current situation is not optimistic...

She ran towards the sound and immediately saw her comrades lying among the rubble.

I saw Shimada Kui closing his eyes tightly and his face was stained with blood.

No matter how the soldiers around him called him, he remained silent and showed no signs of waking up.

Only his slightly rising and falling chest still proves that the fire of life has not been extinguished.

After experiencing a brief moment of anxiety, Elodie made a decisive decision:

"Find all the injured! Send them to the rear for treatment!"

Her voice was tinged with impatience.

The Goryeo Gate of Akasaka Imperial Gate was blown down, and the defenders were seriously damaged... I wonder what Elodie and the others will face next!

Elodie now only hopes that the enemy's attack can be slowed down a bit, so as to give them some breathing space.

What a pity... what she feared most finally happened -

"Kill ah ah ah!" (Russian)

"The city gate they relied on no longer exists! If you don't go up now, then when? Come along with me! Defeat the lackeys of the shogunate!"

Rushing footsteps, excited shouts... A large group of enemy soldiers, a mixture of Russian soldiers and members of the Raiders, rushed toward them!

Now that Goryeo Gate no longer exists, it is definitely the next best thing to stand on these ruins and engage in a confrontation with the enemy.

Kondo Shusuke immediately ordered:

"Quick! Back up! Back to the Wataru Gate!"

Under the orderly command of Kondo Shusuke and Elodie, the surviving garrison soldiers took all the wounded they could find and retreated hurriedly to the third gate of Akasaka Mikado before the enemy troops could reach them.

Two city gates.

Although we retreated to the Wataru Gate in time, the real nightmare is yet to come!

The familiar long ladder, the familiar enemy troops attacking up the ladder like a swarm of ants, the familiar fierce bloody battle!

All the soldiers, including Kondo Shusuke and Elodie, have not yet recovered from the big explosion just now, and even the most basic organizational order has not been restored.

The situation is extremely bad...but the enemy has already attacked, and even if they are unable to support it, they can only respond hastily.

Elodie bit the tip of her tongue, trying to drive away the pain.

Her head was still very painful and swollen, and the "buzzing" deep in her ears did not stop. She felt that her whole body could not exert strength, it was difficult to concentrate, and her strength had declined sharply.

The battle had just begun when her left shoulder was cut by the enemy because her dodge speed was half a beat too slow.

She and Kondo Shusuke are martial arts masters, so they can barely support themselves.

On the other hand, other soldiers...

"Hey! Why are you vomiting blood?"

"Damn...it should have been the explosion just now that caused me internal injuries..."

"The shogunate's lackey! Tenchu!"

"If it weren't for my lack of effort, how could I... Gu!"

"Hahahaha! They are already vulnerable!"

A difficult battle...a one-sided battle!

Elodie still underestimated the impact of the explosion.

Their troops were damaged and their morale was shaken... Faced with the enemy's fierce offensive, their resistance gradually became shaky.

After a while, their defense began to waver, and loopholes appeared in more and more places.

No matter how bravely Kondo Shusuke and Elodie fought against the enemy, they could not reverse this decline.

When Elodie saw this, she couldn't help but clenched her teeth, secretly anxious in her heart.

She desperately wanted to do something to save the situation, but...but...

At the moment when despair began to spread in her heart——

Whoosh!

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, an arrow cut across her field of vision.

Before she could react, the arrow accurately hit the neck of an enemy soldier, saving a sergeant who was almost killed.

This arrow is just the beginning.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Arrows flew out one after another, knocking every enemy soldier to the ground!

Elodie turned her head blankly and looked back following the arrow's trajectory - the archer was a beautiful woman wearing cyan armor.

She holds a vermilion and a bow, and her posture is both graceful and heroic, just like the reincarnation of Ba Gozen!

Elodie was very familiar with this majestic female military general - after all, she had only seen her in the Ohiro Room of Edo Castle a few days ago.

She looked at the other person in disbelief and unconsciously whispered the other person's name:

"Tianzhangyuan...Your Highness?"

Tianzhangyuan gave Elodie a gentle smile, then straightened his face again, and kept pulling the bow string in his hand, killing every enemy soldier that appeared in his field of vision.

She didn't come alone.

"Everyone! Please hold your head high and chest high! The battle is not over yet!"

Qingyue's male voice spread throughout the Duolu Gate.

A young man, fully armed and carrying a sword, stood proudly, standing on the oar gate, next to Elodie and others.

With a young face, full of nobility, and "Three-leaf Kwai" engraved on the feathers and sword... With such distinctive features, this person's identity is already obvious.

Someone recognized the young man's identity, and his face turned pale with extreme shock. After swallowing hard, he stammered and shouted:

"General, Your Highness the General!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed!

To be honest, at this moment, Elodie couldn't believe her eyes.

But the scene in front of her clearly stated the facts: the great general Tokugawa Iemoge and the Great Odaisho Tenjoin came to the front line in person!

After learning that Akasaka Mikado's situation was very bad, the courageous mother and son made the same decision: Mikado will fight in person! Support the front line!

They don't understand military affairs and don't know how to deploy troops and generals.

The only thing they know is to lead by example!

The mother and son not only went to the front line in person, but also brought their personal bodyguards.

Tokugawa Iemo raised the tachi in his hand above his head, and then swung it down hard, with the tip pointing straight ahead:

"Go! Drive the enemy back to the ground!"

Instantly, the guards surrounding him swarmed up and joined the battle.
To be continued...
