"I'm optimistic! This is how the catapult rope is used!"

"When pulling the bow, first raise the bow body over the top of your head, and then pull down with your left and right hands together. This will make use of the muscles on your back and save more effort!"

"I, we haven't used a bow, and we may not be able to shoot accurately..."

"It doesn't matter if you can't shoot accurately! Just shoot in the direction of the enemy! Even if you can't shoot the enemy, the rain of locust-like arrows can also hinder the enemy!"

"Hold the spear in your hands tightly and stab the enemy when you see it. It's that simple! Don't be afraid! The spear in your hands has three long rooms! The enemy can't touch you even if you want to!"

"Do you know how to use shovels and hoes?"

"I understand! Of course I understand! Although we are not good at playing knives and guns, we are too proficient in the ability to wield hoes and lift shovels!"

"That's good! Go there and get a shovel and a hoe, and follow me to dig the trench!"

...

The scholars of the new Yuting period completed the "propaganda" task excellently.

The generous rewards received by Azhan and others, coupled with Qingdeng's own lofty people's expectations, made countless people fascinated.

As a result, as the news of "Niwang conscription" became more and more popular, countless civilians continued to flow into Edo Castle!

Only Akasaka Mimen is the battlefield, while other Mimen are quite stable.

Therefore, these civilians who came to help went to other Imperial Gate except Akasaka Imperial Gate. After careful review, they rushed to the front-line battlefield in batches!

Only a very small number of people have a certain foundation in martial arts.

Most people have never even touched swords, and their combat effectiveness is worrying.

This situation was already within Qingdeng's expectations.

Qingdeng divided them into three armies based on their physical fitness and martial arts level.

People who are strong and skilled in martial arts are incorporated into the "First Army".

The "First Army" is a melee unit, responsible for going to the front line to fight with the enemy soldiers.

Because his mission is the most dangerous, his military pay is added to the subsidy of 2 taels of gold on the basis of the original 3 taels of gold. If he is unfortunately killed in battle, he will also have a generous pension.

People with slightly worse physical fitness will be incorporated into the "Second Army".

The "Second Army" is a long-distance attacking force, which is specifically responsible for drawing bows and throwing stones.

People with a little strength go to draw bows, while people with a little strength go to throw stones.

"Take a bow and shoot an arrow" is a very simple thing, and anyone with a little bit of strength can do it. Not to mention throwing a stone.

Of course, whether you can shoot or not is another matter.

However, this type of corps does not require the soldiers to hit the high hit rate.

As long as the arrows (stones) rain cannot stop and the arrows (stones) rain is dense, it will be enough to make the enemy extremely uncomfortable.

As for the "Third Army", it is a complete "auxiliary army".

Those who are weak and are not suitable for going to the battlefield will all be organized into the "Third Army" and stay in the rear. The main task is to dig trenches.

Although Qingdeng General showed himself as a reckless man who "fights hard and rushes hard" and "does it all", in general, his combat style is more like Cheng Bushi, a famous general in the early Western Han Dynasty. Because he was too steady, he never suffered a defeat. The Huns ran away when they saw him, and never fought any major battles. It was the best example of "a good fighter has no great achievements."

"Seeking victory while maintaining stability" has always been an important background for Qingdeng's style of leading troops.

With more trenches, the defenders will rely more on them.

Therefore, in order to ensure safety, Aoden specially ordered: The trenches must be dug along the way from Akasaka Mimon to Edo Castle! Dig as much as you can!

As long as the war continues, we must keep digging trenches!

In this way, under Qingdeng's personal instruction, he quickly set up the "straight" of the rebel army. Although it was very rough, it was barely enough!

...

...

"That's right! That's it! Keep the formation! Don't panic! Don't be confused!"

Standing at the forefront of the battlefield, Sounosuke Harada was in a tireless manner to command the rebel army.

I saw a group of volunteer soldiers behind him—about a hundred people—carried three guns and arranged them into a tight "hedgehog formation".

What I saw in my eyes was blood, what I heard under my nose was fishy smell, and what I heard in my ears was shouting for killing... The tension at the beginning of the battlefield dominated the facial expressions of every volunteer soldier on the scene.

His eyes were straight, his eyes were dull, his breathing was rapid, and his cold sweat was coming out... all these were all in one go.

In order to find a sense of security, they were very close, with their shoulders against their shoulders and feet on their feet, like lambs that were close together to keep warm to each other.

In this way, although the gun array becomes quite dense and the enemy dares not approach it, it is also quite dangerous.

Once attacked, it is very easy to cause a chain reaction. As long as one falls, a large area will fall.

Seeing this, Zuosuke Harada couldn't help but smack his tongue and said in his heart:

——It is indeed too forced to let these untrained civilians go to the battlefield...

At this moment when he was secretly feeling, a fierce shout came from the front of him - a new enemy soldier came to kill the general!

"Kill!"

"Don't stop! Keep the offensive!"

"Repay the kindness of Yiqiaogong!"

The murderous aura that came to his face made Harada Zuosuke react quickly - while adjusting his state, he abandoned distracting thoughts, and concentrated his mind, while raising his spear:

"Follow me! Kill when you encounter an enemy! That's that simple!"

After roaring, he took action and charged forward.

The cold spear in its palm was as light as feathers, as soft as a rope, as dangerous as a poisonous snake!

In a matter of seconds, there were three more dead souls under his gun.

As his muscles and bones gradually stretched out, his offensive became more sharp and he became more courageous as he fought.

However, suddenly, a stinging pain suddenly came from his waist and abdomen - it was the wound left yesterday.

The sudden stinging pain caused his expression to change slightly, and his movements were involuntarily paused.

Although this is a fleeting flaw, it happened to be captured and used by an enemy soldier.

The opponent seized the fighter plane, slid forward, raised his knife and slashed down.

Harada Zuosuke couldn't react so he could only struggle to set up a spear and prepare to take the opponent's slash.

At the moment when the two sides were about to fight—

Puff!

One three guns pierced out of the diagonal pierced, hitting the enemy's belly.

Any normal person, as long as his stomach is pierced, no matter how aggressive he was just now, he will lose all his strength in an instant.

The enemy soldiers' swords stopped directly in the air and could no longer be swung.

Harada Zuoyusuke was slightly stunned, then reacted instantly, quickly adjusting the direction of the spear head and piercing the enemy soldier's heart.

After eliminating the crisis, he turned his head and looked at the person who had just rescued him - a very young volunteer soldier.

But when the other party held the gun in his palm tightly, his face turned pale and his expression was dull.

It is not difficult to see that this is his first time killing an enemy, and his mind is not redirected.

After seeing that the other party was a Yoshihiro, a hint of surprise flashed between Harada Zuosuke's eyebrows.

He was just thinking to himself that "it is too much forcing to let the civilians go to the battlefield", and his heart was full of "slightness" and "distrust".

Unexpectedly, in just a moment, he saved the civilians he looked down upon.

If it were someone else, they might feel depressed and upset about it - of course, Harada Zuosuke does not belong to this list.

There is no word "depression" or "upset" in Harada Zuosuke's dictionary at all.

The "surprise" on his face soon turned into "happiness", and he immediately bent his mouth and sincerely thanked:

"Thank you!"

He said that, he took the initiative to meet him, patted the other person on the shoulder, and opened his mouth wide:

"Good job! You did a good job! Be happier! The 'Rescue Captain' has made a lot of contributions!"

The comfort of Harada Zuosuke gradually calmed down.

“Maintenance…”

He blinked, his eyes regained their spirits and his expression regained its vitality.

He was obviously still as weak as he was still stinky as he was still dry.

And now, he seemed to have found confidence, his eyes became sharp, and he was completely different from the previous one.

Harada Zuosuke asked:

"May I have your name?"
