After being besieged by the enemy, Harada Zuosuke immediately stopped being calm and carefree as he had just fought and retreated, and finally withdrew from the siege.

At this time, Nakazawa Koto, the deputy captain of the seventh team behind, shouted suddenly:

"Everyone in front is back! The musketeer comes forward!"

Accompanied by Kotoshi Nakazawa's shout, noisy footsteps came from behind.

After a while, a large number of musketeers—a total of thirty people—ranging to the front of the front line in one breath, divided into two rows, half-squatted in the front row, and stood up in the back row.

These muskets are all new items taken out of the arsenal, and the shiny barrels radiate a bright luster.

What a pity... Qingdeng is now extremely lacking in sergeants who are good at using muskets.

The 7th and 10th team members have never received relevant training.

It took him a long time to force himself to gather these thirty soldiers who knew how to use muskets.

Koto Nakazawa stood beside the musketeers and ordered loudly:

"Rise the gun! Shoot!"

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

Such a sparse barrage can naturally not be expected to achieve any remarkable results.

After the barrage roared past, only three people were shot and fell to the ground.

Although the damage was very small, the shocking momentum really suppressed the other party's arrogance.

While firing the gun, there were archers behind the gun array firing arrows.

The projectiles attacked together with the arrows, and the order of the "Dead Soldiers Legion" instantly became disordered.

Although they lack excellent equipment, they have the means to make up for it.

"Tail the stone! Quick!"

Hundreds of dead soldiers reached out to their hearts, took out simple and sturdy scattering ropes, and threw stone rain at the Xinxuan group.

Stones flew into the air, drew neat parabolas, and then fell like raindrops to the newly selected array.

In terms of advancedness alone, the stones everywhere are naturally not comparable to arrows and projectiles.

But in terms of lethality, these seemingly ordinary stones cannot be underestimated!

If they fall on their heads, they will be seriously injured even if they don’t die.

Even if you wear a helmet, you cannot completely resist the impact of stones - this is the power of blunt weapons.

In an instant, many people were hit by this sudden stone rain and were confused.

The "Dead Soldiers Legion" took the opportunity to step forward and launched a pursuit, trying to advance the front in one breath.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they took a step, a new shout came immediately:

"Long spear formation! Come forward!"

The musketeer and the archer retreated, and the spearman replaced it.

More than forty teammen joined the battlefield with three serious guns.

One room is about 1.818 meters, and three rooms are 5.454 meters.

Just like the musket array just now, these spearmen were divided into two rows, with the people in the back and the people in the front row intersecting. The spears in the back row explored the gap between the front row, and the two rows of spears pointed directly at the enemy who was about to embrace.

group.

Harada Zuosuke shouted:

"Run!"

The next moment, the spear formation started to move!

They are like tanks that are slowly activated.

First, jogging, then constantly accelerating! A stern murderous aura hits the face!

In a moment, they plunged into the enemy group and plowed out countless blood beads in the blink of an eye!

The "Dead Soldiers Legion" offensive was beaten back before it was launched.

Under normal circumstances, unless you use long-range weapons or use a spear to fight, you will only be passively beaten when facing such a spear formation that charges.

A nearly 6-meter-long spear... How can you fight with a knife in your palm?

Japanese are generally short sluts with poor physical development, so they have no power to fight back when facing a spear of this length.

Even Qingdeng faces this "three gun formation" head-on, he has to avoid the edge.

...

...

Qingdeng abides by the medical order that "no battle" is allowed.

After arriving at Akasaka Mimen, he always stayed behind.

He and Shimada Kui stood on the same high ground, quietly observing the battlefield and studying the battle situation.

At first, the two armies fought hard and fought evenly.

But as time goes by, the power of the spirit is ultimately inferior to the material gap.

Let’s not talk about the lethality of spears, bows, arrows, and muskets. The 100% armored rate alone is enough to make the "Dead Soldiers Legion" anxious.

Gradually, the scales on the battlefield began to tilt, falling towards the side that was beneficial to the new group.

Seeing this, Shimada Kiyoshi shouted excitedly:

"Lord, that's great! Our army already has the advantage! We're about to win!"

Qingdeng glanced at him and said lightly:

"Shida-kun, don't be too happy too early."

“The battlefield changes rapidly.”

"Until you decide the winner thoroughly, you can't feel like you're sure to win."

Aoden's blame made Shimada Kui very embarrassed.

He lowered his head obediently and apologized to Qingdeng:

"Yes, my subordinates have thoughts."

Qingdeng rolled his eyes calmly, glanced at the battlefield again, and said:

"It is not difficult to repel the dead soldiers of the 'Yiqiao Sect'. But... I'm afraid there will be reinforcements from the other side."

When Shimada Kui heard this, he tilted his head in confusion:

"Reinforcements? What other reinforcements can the 'Yiqiao Sect' have? They can't take out thousands of dead soldiers again, right?"

Qingdeng sinks his eyelids and his eyes are deep:

"There are definitely no death soldiers in the 'Yiqiao Sect'. However, they still have 'potential combat power'."

After saying that, he ordered Shimada Quei:

"Go to pass the order to Zuosuke and let them step up their offensive! Don't hold back and defeat the rebels as quickly as possible! Be sure to be fast!"

...

...

Edo Castle, a town residential area—

"Wife! Get all your luggage and follow me!"

"What, what's wrong?"

"There is a war! A civil war has really broken out! Let's leave Edo while you are not implicated yet!"

"This, this...how could this happen..."

He hurriedly fled Edo with his family and hurriedly - a similar scene appeared in various parts of Edo.

The "New Year atmosphere" dissipated, and the urgent atmosphere of war came again.

The people no longer care about the holidays, they just want to leave Edo quickly and stay away from the smoke of the civil war.

What a pity... Edo, who finally recovered a little bit of fireworks, became deserted again.

It's strange that although countless people want to escape from Edo, at the same time, countless people volunteer to stay in Edo.

...

...

Edo, a certain warrior place—

"I decided! I want to join the war! I want to fight side by side with Yiqiaogong!"

A warrior said this with a firm expression.
