Although the accuracy of the matchlock gun is poor, with so many rows of barrages fired at the same time, it can always hit the target.
In just the blink of an eye, the level was surrounded by the whistling of projectiles, arrows, and the wails and screams of people.
A large number of gangsters were caught off guard, and their bodies were all pierced by hot bullets, and they fell to pieces and rolled in pools of blood everywhere.
Along with the bullets piercing the flesh of the body and the miserable screams that are not human-like, gorgeous peonies rose up on the level - "peonies" made of blood!
Blood splashed several feet high all of a sudden. Under the action of inertia, it flew and dispersed in mid-air, really like beautiful peonies.
It's a pity... these "peonies" have the characteristics of short-lived cereus.
As soon as it appeared, it quickly withered and fell.
"Raise the shield! Raise the shield! Raise the shield! Raise the shield quickly!" - Such a voice sounded in the level.
The gangsters reacted one after another, raising the thick wooden shields they had prepared early in the morning to block the barrage.
Matchlocks and bows and arrows are the basic weapons used by fire thieves - this is something everyone knows.
Therefore, in order to protect against the matchlock guns of the crusade, the Shoumazhong specially prepared a large number of extremely thick wooden shields.
These wooden shields... rather than shields, it might be more accurate to call them "walls".
Each shield is 30cm-50cm thick. The thickest one is even more than half a meter thick.
Mount Soma is full of primeval forests, so preparing these wooden shields is effortless.
After all, the matchlock gun is still too backward. In terms of firepower, it cannot be compared with the most popular Spencer rifles and other firearms in the West. The power of shooting at an unarmored target is not bad, but when faced with a weapon that is tens of centimeters
A thick wooden shield would be a little weak.
After offering up this large shield as thick as a wall, the number of people who were shot was immediately greatly reduced.
However, the gangsters' faces did not show any signs of relaxation - because in addition to the "swarms" in front of them, there were also "swarms of locusts" above their heads that threatened their lives at all times.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
The sound of letting go of the bowstring resounded around Qingdeng.
Hundreds of feathered arrows carried wind and chill, bringing pain and death to the gangsters at the level.
The bow body is more than 2 meters long. Although the shape is a little exaggerated, its power is not small at all!
Even if you look at the whole world, He bow is undoubtedly the "heavy bow".
In terms of lethality, the He bow is even higher than the famous English yew longbow.
The arrow escaped from the tight bow string and flew into the air, flying straight into the sky in an arc. It flew to the highest point and then fell leisurely, drawing a beautiful parabola.
One end of the parabola is connected to the bow formation of the crusade; the other end is connected to the heads of the bandits in the level!
The swarm of arrows piercing the sky, like black locusts, like a sudden rain, like a huge flood, flooded the level in one breath.
It was like an invisible sickle slashing down on the head, harvesting dozens of "ears of rice" with just one blow.
The blood rain, which is completely different from being hit by projectiles, blooms and splashes everywhere in the level.
Because the lethality of the Japanese bow is much weaker than that of the matchlock gun, only an ordinary shield is enough to deal with the rain of arrows thrown by the conquering army.
The gangsters hurriedly raised ordinary wooden shields of normal thickness above their heads, and the shields were riddled with holes like locust arrows.
Even though the shield was raised in time, a small number of arrows still passed through the gaps between the shields and hit some unlucky people.
Although the negotiations between the two parties have broken down, in order to reduce the casualties of the troops as much as possible, my grandson still wants to promote "peace negotiations" as much as possible.
Therefore, for today's battle, my grandson adopted the tactic of "shooting mosquitoes with artillery" - the second division, the third division, the fourth division and the eighth division were all dispatched! The first division served as the general reserve team. All the efforts were accomplished in one battle! One battle
Beat the Xiangma people in pain! Teach the Xiangma people how to deal with the thieves and change them so much that the Xiangma people no longer dare to have any unrealistic ideas, and strive to promote peace negotiations in the follow-up!
The first, second, and fourth teams are all iron artillery teams, and the eighth team and the third team under Qingto are archers. The number of the two teams is almost the same, so the density of barrages and arrow rain in the crusade is almost the same.
.
Under a series of superior firepower strikes, the level was littered with bullet holes and broken arrows.
The gangsters, who were unable to lift their heads under the barrage and rain of arrows, hid their whole bodies behind the shields, not daring to expose any skin outside the shields.
Although Qingdeng had just taken office in the Huofu Thief Kaiyuan not long ago, he had already discovered that my grandson's prestige in the Huofu Thief Kaiyuan was extremely high.
He is obviously a "literary man" with a special brain, but he can make martial arts men like Kanazawa Chusuke and Mizushima Rensaburo obey his orders obediently.
At this moment, my grandson saw that this wave of firepower was almost ready to pour out, and waved his hand forward with a calm expression.
The soldier standing next to him holding the conch in his hand saw my grandson's gesture and immediately brought the conch to his lips again with quick eyes and hands:
Wuwu——! Wuwu——! Wuwu——! Wuwu——!
The loud conch horn drowned out the roar of muskets and bows.
Hearing the blowing of the trumpet, Kanazawa Chusuke...the fierce general who was respectfully called the "Hound of Fire", immediately jumped up like exploding lava:
"Everyone! Follow me!"
After shouting, Tadatsuki Kanazawa, who was given the power of "frontline command" by my grandson because he held the position of "deputy general of the army" in this battle, took the lead! He rushed straight through the gate like a rabid dog out of a cage!
At this moment, Qingdeng felt like a fire was burning in his chest for no reason.
It was only then that Qingdeng suddenly realized: Although he has experienced hundreds of battles, fought countless life-threatening battles, and killed hundreds of souls under the sword, as of today, he has never fought in a battle...
Never participated in a formal war!
The roar of iron cannons and the trilling of bowstrings filled my ears one after another.
Filled with thick smoke and heavy fog from burning gunpowder, the air became pungent and pungent. There was a disgusting bitter taste in the mouth that lingered no matter how hard I swallowed.
The fearful and nervous expressions of the comrades were everywhere as far as the eye could see.
The smell of blood wafts from the enemy's checkpoints from time to time, repeatedly irritating and arousing nerves.
Blood and the smell of death are all around him.
This should have been a terrifying scene that could make people's minds go blank and make them scared.
But Qingdeng didn't feel scared or nervous at all.
He heard his heavy breathing, and felt his heart beating so fast and powerfully that it almost jumped out of his throat.
The blood was burning. The blood flowing in his veins seemed to be on fire, burning his forehead and back, and sweat began to appear on his back.
Qingdeng didn't know why he was feeling so excited and calm at the same time.
I don’t know if it was affected by this strange emotion, but Qingteng’s body made strange movements - the moment after Kanazawa Chusuke yelled "Follow me", Qingteng's brain didn't have time to respond.
The feet that are on the ground are "unauthorized" leaving the ground.
Once you take the first step, it's easy - rush towards the level of the Soma people with your body and mind!
At the same time, "Tiger of Fire" Mizushima Rensaburo and Aoto came out of the battle with their swords drawn in no particular order.
A moment later, except for the first team of the general reserve team, each team put down their iron cannons, bows and arrows, took out their knives and spears, and changed their long-range attacks to close combat. They followed the brave 3rd team in the lead.
After the captain!
Captain Nobuyoshi Kazama of the Eighth Division did not have the courage to charge forward like Aoto or Kanazawa Chusuke, so he did not mingle with the crowd until the large army started taking action, and followed the large army in action.
With Aoto, Kanazawa Chusuke and Mizushima Rensaburo as their arrows, the crusade army pressed against the riddled level with an overwhelming force!
In the eyes of the gangsters in the level, it looked like a group of ferocious thunderclouds approaching them.
The neat black uniforms form the main body of the dim clouds.
The bright swords and guns are the lightning flashing continuously among the dark clouds.
A large number of projectiles were poured out, and the firepower preparation of arrows bought precious time for Qingden and others to charge.
When the bandits discovered that the crusade had begun to charge, they hurriedly threw away their shields and grabbed their swords, guns, bows and arrows. During the time they changed their weapons, Qingdeng and others safely advanced more than ten meters.
"Release the arrow! Release the arrow! Release the arrow!" - Such a voice sounded in the level.
After a few breaths, the gangsters' counterattack came.
At that moment, Qingdeng heard a hissing sound in front of him, and then it quickly grew louder and turned into a whistling sound of "chichichi".
Qingdeng subconsciously lowered his waist, and an arrow as thick as Qingdeng's finger drew a straight trajectory, passed close to his waist, and hit someone who was running behind Qingdeng.
chest.
This Tongxin screamed, his body bent backwards from the center into a bow shape, and bounced back in a weird posture.
One arrow after another pierced the atmosphere, rushing to "bite" at the crusade.
Although the Xiangma people were unable to obtain firearms, they still had the ability to obtain bows and arrows.
The density of arrows thrown from the level was not very high, but it still caused a lot of trouble to Qingdeng and others.
Except for some strong-willed people who were not hit by the vital points, those unfortunate soldiers who were hit by the arrows all collapsed to the ground, covering the area where the arrows hit them and letting out painful whines.
At the critical moment when the entire army was charging, no one had the time and energy to deal with those injured by arrows.
All Qingdeng and others could do was to avoid these injured soldiers who fell to the ground...and bless them, hoping that they would survive until help arrived.
Qingden's "Gathering God" and "Eagle Eye +2" are fully activated.
Suddenly an arrow was shot towards Qingdeng's face.
The person who shot this arrow was obviously not very skilled. The arrow speed needs to be improved - with the blessing of the two talents of "Gathering God" and "Eagle Eye +2", Qingden could easily see through the arrow path.
The next moment, his body moved in response to his heart. Qingdeng raised his sword and slashed forward - click - and knocked the arrow away.
Finally, after enduring the enemy's arrows and suffering countless casualties, the crusade finally succeeded in reaching the checkpoint of the Xiangma Zhong.
Kanazawa Chusuke: "Break the goal!"
A member of Tongxin, armed with a sledgehammer, a pulling rope and other objects, rushed towards the gate of the checkpoint under the cover of his comrades.
The checkpoint built by Somazhong on the mountain road is just a tall wooden wall made of wood. Behind the wooden wall, there are two symmetrical watchtowers.
Because it is made of wood and has a simple structure, it only takes a little time for the "engineers" to use sledgehammers, saws, and pull ropes to cut a large hole in the gate and wall of the checkpoint for the troops to pass through——
The premise is that the "engineers" must be given the time to dig the hole.
A bloody melee began.
The gangsters took out their spears, stuck the spear heads out of the cracks in the wooden wall, and stabbed the crusaders outside the checkpoint like harpoons on fish.
The crusaders also used their spears, thrusting their spears through the gaps in the wooden wall in the opposite direction to the gangsters. Like using a harpoon to stab a fish, they would poke the spears wherever they saw the gangsters.
where.
The two sides were poking each other with spears through the wooden wall... the scene became extremely funny.
But it was extremely bloody.
Swirling, attacking, gnawing, biting. Like a flood hitting a dam.
Casualties were rising rapidly—for both sides.
On the two watchtowers at the back of the level, a large number of gangsters were holding bows and arrows, and they continued to fire arrows at the conquering army regardless of their sore arms.
There is no need to aim, the generals of the conquering army below are densely packed, like a colony of ants. No matter how you shoot, you can always hit the target.
Although he was in an unfavorable situation where he had to shoot from above, the counterattack of the conquering army was not without its influence.
Many soldiers from the Third Division and the Eighth Division once again drew their bows and arrows, heading towards the watchtower, and raining arrows towards the back of the checkpoint.
This war between the two sides has suddenly become simple - whoever can grit his teeth and hold on, who can withstand the opponent's offensive, will be the winner!
There were gangsters holding spears in front of him trying to block him, and comrades behind him pushing him forward vigorously - this kind of crowded environment was very unfavorable to Qingdeng, and it was difficult for him to exert his due strength.
At this time, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, a group of weird-looking gangsters appeared above the watchtower, holding clay pots containing unknown objects.
"Throw it away! Throw it all down!" - As someone yelled, the gangsters threw the clay pots in their hands with all their strength, hitting the crusade army who were still struggling to break through.
Click, click, click, click...
The clay pot shattered with the sound, and the transparent liquid inside was spilled out.
In the blink of an eye, a certain smell that should be quite familiar to every ordinary person filled the entire mountain road - the smell of oil!
It’s cooking oil for cooking and lamp oil for lighting!
not good!
As soon as the warning bell rang in Qingdeng's heart, he saw the bow-wielding gangsters upstairs using a different type of arrows - arrows with flaming arrows!
"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"
A dazzling light appeared in the sky.
The rain of fire draws out streaks of neon-like light!
Oil and fire touch - bake!
The rugged road, which was uneven and full of gravel, instantly sprouted hot flames like new sprouts!
These tender "new sprouts" turned into strong "big trees" in just a blink of an eye!
The thick flame pillar is like a tall tree rising from the ground, lush and green, with teeth and claws.
It's a pity that what it stretches out is not green branches, but tongues of fire that bring light and heat to mankind, as well as sorrow and death!
These rising pillars of flames look like a monster with a huge mouth that swallows the sky.
If it opens its mouth just a little, it can tear down the road and eat humans alive!
Many people were accidentally splashed by the oil thrown by the gangsters, and their bodies were covered with oil. The "monster" took the initiative to put bright "orange robes" on them.
Not far from Qingdeng, a man covered in fire was stumbling around, jumping around, screaming, waving his hands irregularly, stomping his feet, and doing a terrifying dance.
No matter whether he was running or jumping around or rolling on the ground, he could never get rid of the fire demon wrapped around him.
The gangsters actually still have such a skill...!
For a moment, the expressions of Kanazawa Chusuke, Mizushima Rensaburo and other generals became extremely solemn.
Judging from the crazy energy of the Xiangma people who dug three feet into the ground during the robbery and wanted to dig out everyone's ancestral graves, it is only natural that they have a large amount of looted vegetable oil and lamp oil in their base area.
things.
All living things have a natural fear of fire.
Under the fire attack of the bandits, the originally extremely tight military formation of the crusade suddenly became chaotic, and the morale was visibly shaken.
The attack effect was far better than expected, and the gangsters in the level showed ecstasy.
In order to fan the fire, the gangsters frantically poured fire arrows at the crusade.
If this continues, the troops will suffer heavy casualties.
Kanazawa Chusuke and Mizushima Rensaburo pursed their lips, thinking whether to retreat temporarily and fight back after regaining their strength.
However, at this moment, a certain swordsman showed an expression that was very different from Kanazawa Chusuke and Mizushima Rensaburo.
"..." The swordsman half-closed his eyes - he seemed to have thought of something serious and wanted to do something dangerous, with a solemn expression.
The rain of fire poured down on the swordsman.
The flames burning the atmosphere kept exploding and rising around the swordsman.
Danger is imminent.
The swordsman quietly turned his right wrist, and after the sword in his hand passed through half a graceful arc, it was held upside down and sheathed.
The next moment, the swordsman turned into an afterimage gliding at low altitude!
That stern look, that posture of jumping straight forward without hesitation, is like a white rabbit aiming at the ground, a cold eagle swooping down from the high-altitude clouds - the "white rabbit" targeted by this "eagle"
, it is the gate of the level!
During this period, many gangsters discovered the swordsmen who were rushing towards them and quickly raised their guns to stab them.
The swordsman's body is like a fallen leaf fluttering in the autumn wind, swaying lightly from side to side as the wind blows.
No matter what angle or force the spear was thrust at, the swordsman nimbly dodged it.
Soon enough, the swordsman was approaching the gate of the checkpoint.
Bang——The swordsman stepped forward with his right foot, and his left leg was bent so much that his knee almost touched the ground.
At the moment when the swordsman's center of gravity was compressed to the limit, the dazzling white light and harsh clang expanded in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, a violent light crossed the air from bottom to top, and the white light gathered on the gate of the checkpoint in one breath!
Drawing the sword technique and flowing light!
Dingguishen soared into the sky in one breath and directly cut a huge slash from the lower right to the upper left on the gate of the checkpoint.
Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng turned the blade, changing the blade that originally pointed diagonally at the sky to pointing directly at the ground, and then slashed down with force.
Another knife mark was carved on the gate of the level.
Qingdeng's offensive didn't stop! In the blink of an eye, he deflected the blade for the second time! The blade that was pointing at the ground changed to pointing diagonally at the sky from bottom left to top right.
There was another sharp sword light, cutting open the vision of everyone present... and the gate of the level!
In less than 2 seconds, he slashed three times in a row... The deep and long knife marks formed by the three slashes together formed a triangle.
The gate of the level is directly under Qingdeng's three swords, with a huge triangular gap!
Qingdeng's move directly stunned the enemy forces... and also stunned the friendly forces.
You know, the gate of the checkpoint is nearly 20 centimeters thick!
The 20 cm thick wooden board was split open with a knife like a melon or a vegetable... This... this?!
"Open this gap!"
Qingdeng's loud shout woke up the team members who were stunned by the move he just showed.
The group of "engineers" closest to Qingdeng were the first to react. They quickly rushed towards the huge gap created by Qingdeng with sledgehammers, saws, pull ropes and other items.
"No! Stop them! Stop them!"
From behind the level came anxious shouts and panicked commands.
In the end, the gangsters were still half a step too slow - after all, they never expected that someone could actually cut a big gap in their gate with just a knife.
Under the joint operation of the "engineers", the gap created by Qingdeng was quickly expanded to enough to accommodate a person's free entry and exit.
It can accommodate one person entering and exiting...that's enough!
"Get out of the way!" Qingden yelled at everyone standing in front of him, jumped out like a tiger, jumped to the front of the gap that was finally opened, and then rushed into the level along the gap without thinking, becoming the first person since the battle began.
The first person to successfully pass the level since!
A big hole was ripped out of the checkpoint gate - this had a huge impact on the gangsters.
Instantly, they screamed and rushed forward like crazy, trying to drive Qingdeng out of the gap and fill the gap again.
In the gap, what greeted them was the cold sword light of Dingguishen.
The entry "Lonely" shines with a dazzling golden light!
Qingdeng howled, waving the Dingguishen that had accompanied him in his long battle like a wheel.
The blade of the knife was lifted up and opened the forehead of a certain gangster.
The blade pressed down and cut open the belly of a certain gangster.
The blade thrust forward and pierced the heart of a certain gangster.
Groups of gangsters came from all directions, but no one could stop Qingdeng!
Dingguishen is like a strange container that can spurt out blood and broken limbs.
The blade is everywhere, blood is flying! Stumps are falling!
The blade is everywhere, destroying whoever strikes it! Subduing whoever strikes it!
The sword light, stained red with blood, revealed a color between rose and wine in the sunlight.
The gangsters trying to fill the gap fell to the ground one after another like weeds being cut.
The superposition of "solitude" and "gathering of energy" made Qingdeng's concentration at the moment terrifyingly concentrated.
In his eyes, there was no living person... only a series of dolls waiting to be chopped down by him!
At this time, Qingdeng was like a fighting machine running with blood as fuel.
Efficiently distinguish between friendly and enemy situations.
Kill enemies with your sword efficiently!
Standing in the gap, he successfully defended this precious "bridgehead" with his strong fighting power and high fighting spirit!
Soon enough, a bright spear rushed towards Qingdeng's face.
Qingdeng turned his head, and the gun tip was pressed against his neck... to be precise, it was pressed against the chain mail on Qingden's neck, and sparks flew out.
In the next moment, Qingdeng turned his head in the opposite direction, clamped the barrel of the gun tightly with his side face and shoulders, and raised his left hand to hold the gun body tightly to prevent the opponent from taking the gun back.
In the next moment, Qingdeng slashed forward and split the long spear into two pieces. Then, he drove the short spear in his hand into the opponent's chest.
He just pressed the broken section of the gun against the opponent's body, using the person as a shield to push against the gangsters behind him.
The gangsters fell into a heap like ears of rice blown down by the wind.
At this point, Qingden has penetrated deep into the back of the level.
The gangsters anxiously tried to counterattack.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of rocks and hard earth being violently trampled.
Like ocean waves.
Like a storm.
It's like giving funeral fun to gangsters!
Kanazawa Chusuke: "Follow Tachibana-kun!"
The crusade crossed the "bridgehead" that Qingdeng fought hard to defend, flowed over the checkpoint like a tide, and further tore open the enemy's gap opened by Qingdeng!
Before he could think about it carefully, the two parties collided with each other.
In terms of combat power, it is impossible for mountain bandits who make a living by robbing homes and houses to defeat the Huofu bandits who are listed as one of the standing armies of the shogunate.
The soldiers who attacked the bandits at first were like awls, piercing into the bandits separately and launched a thunderous offensive.
However, the ferocious bandits who lick blood from their swords are not weak rag dolls that can be bullied.
The bandits also seemed to understand that if they did not win this battle, they would all be doomed, so they did not need the commander's instructions or mobilization. With high fighting spirit, they spontaneously raised their weapons and bravely fought against the conquering army.
The soldiers fought together.
The timely arrival of the friendly forces greatly reduced Qingdeng's pressure - he was able to free up his hands and fight more fearlessly!
His footsteps sometimes galloped and sometimes slowed down, in order to give his body, which was already covered in heat and sweat, a break from his chest, which was already heaving violently like a bellows.
He rushed into the turbulent and chaotic battlefield, raised his head and chest, dashed left and right, his sword shined, tearing apart the enemy's formation repeatedly.
He waved his knife, stepped, and jumped! The blood that flowed all over the ground splashed and splintered repeatedly under his feet. The flickering light of the knife was like a silver swallow that repeatedly pounced on the overcoming waves.
"Feiyan" pounces on the waves, then turns over to meet the next wave. It hardly stops for a moment. Every time "Feiyan" soars, someone is bound to be injured and fall to the ground.
The swordsman roared like a lion and his heart beat!
At this time, the sound of a sword pierced the sky.
As if being summoned by the sound of the sword, Qingden followed the sound - and saw a very majestic warrior a few steps away from his right side, displaying a giant Odachi nearly 2 meters long and holding it high above his head.
’s heroic appearance.
There was no time to see its appearance, but the dangerous momentum was already approaching!
Odachi - a strange weapon invented by the samurai of the Kamakura period to show off their heroism and strength.
There are very few people who can master the skills of this weapon, but there is no doubt that if you can master the use of the Odachi skillfully, then this person will be a very terrifying existence on the battlefield!
Buzz...the air started to vibrate.
The Odachi struck with force caused a large amount of airflow.
Everything around him seemed to be swept up by the air flow blown by the Odachi, with dust and smoke billowing. The passage of time seemed to slow down.
Going head-to-head with a guy who uses the Odachi sword? Qingden doesn't have the leisure or energy to do so.
Qingdeng raised the tip of his sword to seduce ghosts and gods, and used Xia Duan to gain momentum.
The next moment, he disappeared from where he was.
Qingden used the powerful leg strength given by "Bear's Waist +1" and "Leading the Horse" to jump up like he was crushing the ground.
Qingdeng flew out like an arrow from a string. Rather than "leap up", it might be more accurate to say "fly up"!
Qingden, who looked like a ghost, nimbly passed under the blade of the Odachi, and struck straight behind the Odachi with his sword, aiming at the gangster who was holding the Odachi.
Chi - the familiar feeling of sharp blade cutting and penetrating flesh continuously spread to Qingdeng's palms.
He penetrated the opponent's waist with just one blow, and the blade sank into the opponent's body until the blade was pressed against his flesh.
"Haaah...!"
Qingden let out a short shout, then exerted force on his legs, waist, and wrists at the same time! He used the sword in his hand and swept it horizontally along the direction of the blade!
Chi la - a sound like tearing cloth.
Ding Guishen's blade cut open the opponent's abdomen from the tangent to the tip. Qingden's head was close to the opponent's body, passed through the opponent's right armpit height, and dodged behind the opponent.
This gangster who uses an Odachi as a weapon has only about half of his upper and lower body connected by flesh and skin.
However, his vitality is extremely tenacious.
Half of his waist was cut open... After suffering such an injury, a normal person would have collapsed to the ground, unable to move, and could only slowly wait for death. However, he did not fall to the ground, nor did he lose consciousness, and he even responded to the injury.
Qingdeng launched a final desperate counterattack.
"Ho...ho...hoahhhhh...!"
A hoarse roar burst out from his throat. He threw away the Odachi sword in his hand, stretched out his hand and took out a small sword, turned around and stabbed Qingden in the back.
Unexpectedly, Qingdeng could still stand up and launch a counterattack. His reaction was half a beat too slow. Although he successfully dodged the incoming sharp sword, his left elbow, which was not protected by armor, was accidentally cut open.
A faint trace of blood.
"Haaah...! Haaaah...!"
This guy persisted and stabbed Qingdeng three more times, but Qingdeng easily dodged them all.
When the man was about to strike out with the fourth sword, Qingdeng struck back with his sword and sent the man to hell.
Although this guy's tenacious persistence and counterattack delayed Qingdeng a lot of time, the delayed time was not wasted -
[Ding! Talent scanned]
[Successfully copied talent: "Iron Waist"]
[Introduction to talent: waist is less prone to strain, injury, and fatigue]
[Ding! It has been detected that the host already has the same type of talent]
[Ding! Start talent fusion]
[Please wait a moment, host...Please wait a moment, host...]
["Iron Waist" ability promotion - "Iron Waist +1"]
[Introduction to the "Iron Waist +1" talent: the talent effect is enhanced on the original basis. "+9" is the highest level]
The long-lost fusion of talents.
It's a pity that Qingdeng has no time to rejoice that his waist strength has increased a little now.
The wound left by the guy who used the Odachi just now on Qingteng's left elbow was not deep, but it still sent a real sense of pain to Qingteng's nerves.
This pain was like a surge of electricity, causing Qingdeng's consciousness to briefly break away from the state of "killing machine".
"Ha...! Ha...! Ha...! Ha...! Ha...! Ha...!"
It wasn't until his spirit regained its "lucidity" that Qingdeng was shocked to realize that his breathing was completely messed up.
The breath sprayed out from his mouth and nose turned into dense white mist in the cold autumn air. The rapid breathing formed a thick sound barrier, making Qingden almost unable to hear the rest of the outside sounds.
There was a dull pain in both lungs, and the muscles felt as if they had been injected with lead water, sore and heavy.
The complex and rapidly changing battlefield situation posed a huge challenge to Qingdeng's physical strength.
Even with the support of "Strengthening Muscles +1" and "Iron Lung", Qingdeng's body was still unable to bear the high-intensity consumption.
Qingdeng raised the back of his left hand and wiped the light red liquid composed of his own sweat and the enemy's blood that was about to fall down his chin. He evened out his breathing and looked around.
no the same……
It is different from every battle I have experienced in the past...
There was a loud noise that was completely different from the bustling city and every battle he had experienced before. It made Qingdeng's eardrums hurt.
At this moment, Qingdeng had a strange feeling that he couldn't distinguish between up, down, left, right, east, west, north and south - looking up, there were fighting happening everywhere. No matter which direction he looked, he could see fighting taking place. He didn't know it anymore.
Where are you now?
Familiar faces, faces I have never seen before; faces deformed by pain, faces twisted by excitement; flying arrows, leaping sword light; blood foam flying in the air - mixed together, passing through the blue sky one after another.
Den's view.
At this moment, neither the expeditionary army nor the Xiangma people had any formations to speak of.
The two sides are intertwined, I am among you, and you are among me.
The dancing spear of this one pierced the wooden shield of that one, and the cold arrow released by that one pierced the throat of this one.
This one's swinging fist smashed the bridge of that one's nose, and that one's flying kick hit this one's crotch.
The one's swing of the knife cut off the other's throat, and the other's lifeless impact knocked down the other's body.
The air was filled with the stench of blood and the burning stench of the raging fire demon. These odors were mixed with billowing smoke and dust, making it difficult to breathe.
Qingdeng, who is used to "facing the enemy alone", has never seen such a battle?
At this moment, Qingdeng's mind suddenly murmured like this:
——Is this... war...?
Now is not the time to turn into a great philosopher and ponder these difficult questions.
With the blessing of "Strengthening Essence", which increases the speed of physical recovery, Qingden quickly adjusted his breathing rhythm.
As soon as he took a step forward, ready to rejoin the battlefield, he suddenly felt something rushing towards him from behind, accompanied by the sound of the air being cut open.
Qingden's back instantly felt like a piece of chicken skin, and he dodged to the left like a conditional launch.
A sword struck at the position where Qingdeng was standing just now - the knife wielder was a majestic gangster wearing red armor.
With such obviously high-quality armor to wear... this person must have a certain status among the Souma community.
"I am a member of the Sendai clan, Kagami Akechi-ryu, and Yuki Tsunekichi!" he shouted, "Suffer death!"
He has already fallen into the trap of being a bandit, but he is still practicing the "samurai duel" routine... A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Qingden's lips.
"Drink ah ah ah ah!"
The gangster who calls himself Yuki Tsunekichi attacks with a sword.
But as soon as he raised the knife, Qingdeng had already disappeared without a trace.
"Where are you looking?"
"————?!"
Using the powerful explosive power given by "Bear's Waist +1" and "Leading the Lead", Aoto leaped into the air, and used the gravity acceleration in his hand to hit Yuki Tsunekichi's head hard with the Dingkishin in his hand.
Yuki Tsunekichi's helmet saved...or briefly saved his life.
Although the mottled helmet on his head only had a thin layer of iron, it still absorbed part of the force of Qingdeng's slash and caused the sword's path to be slightly skewed.
Snap - Yuuki Tsunekichi's helmet was directly split into two, and a large gap was opened at the Tianling Cap. Blood was like a fountain, constantly spraying out along the large gap.
In the blink of an eye, Yuki Tsunekichi's entire face was stained a terrifying red color by his own blood.
At this time, Yuki Tsunekichi suddenly let out a strange painful moan.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Dense red blood threads climbed up the whites of Yuki Tsunekichi's eyes like spider webs.
"Drink ahhhhhhhhhhhh-!"
Tsunekichi Yuki suddenly surged up, like a mad bear, and pounced towards Aoden.
Although Tsuneki Yuuki's "physical impact" was full of momentum, it was obviously impossible to hit Aomori with this kind of attack that only had momentum but no skills and no speed.
Aoto took a step to the right and passed Yuuki Tsunekichi lightly. Then, he thrust his sword forward and pierced Yuki Tsunekichi's unprotected throat with one blow.
The throat was pierced... This is supposed to be an injury that would kill a person beyond death.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Yuki Tsuneki's red bloodshot eyes were seen tilting in the direction of Aomori. Then, he suddenly threw away the knife in his hand and raised his hands, firmly holding the knife inserted in his throat.
Determine ghosts and gods!
What - a strong shock appeared between Qingdeng's brows.
He tried to pull the demon back, but whether it was due to a flashback before his death or some other reason, Yuuki Tsunekichi's amazing wrist strength and toughness exploded at this moment.
For a moment, Qingdeng was unable to quickly take back the ghosts and gods.
At this time, out of the corner of Qingden's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures holding bright swords, running towards him from the left and the right.
"Hee..." Yuuki Tsunekichi cast a sinister look at Aoden, curved the corners of his mouth upwards, and let out a gloomy, proud sneer.
At this critical moment, a loud shout suddenly burst out from behind Qingdeng:
"Nioh!"
Qingden turned his head and looked back - a knife was spinning through the air and flying straight towards him!
The "Tiger of Fire" is here!

The author had a great time writing this chapter.
The author's debut novel is a war novel (that is, "Military Genius"), so I felt a strange sense of nostalgia when writing this chapter. (Leopard Cry.jpg)
The total number of people on both sides barely exceeded 500 in this small-scale battle, but I wrote it as if it were a decisive battle... As expected of me! (Pride of the Leopard.jpg)
This chapter is a rare 10,000-word chapter, and the quality is very high. It’s really unjustifiable not to give me a monthly ticket! (Leopard Head Cries.jpg)
