Chapter 652 Summoning the Berserker! The counterattack of the thieves! The Rangers
Having said that, Serizawa Kamo clenched the steel knife in his hand and dodged out of the shallow pit where he and Qingto were hiding!
At the same time, Aoto turned his head and shouted to the Aizu iron gunners behind him:
"Stop shooting!"
They are indeed well-trained elites.
As soon as this order came out, even though they felt extremely puzzled, they all stopped what they were doing.
On the huge battlefield, only the rebel army was still breathing out thick smoke.
"Ji Jun, this, this..."
Genzaburo Inoue, who was not far away, looked at Aoto with his mouth slightly open, and then looked at Serizawa Kamo who had already run away, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Gensaburo Inoue, the soldiers of the Fourth Division and the Sixth Division, and the thief soldiers on the opposite side, both the enemy and ourselves were all stunned by Serizawa Kamo's "alone charge".
Because they were too shocked, the thieves' shooting speed slowed down a lot.
After a moment, the rebel commanders who came back to their senses suppressed their joy and thought to themselves:
——This fool actually ran out to die! God help me!
In order not to waste their free gains, they hurriedly ordered:
"Shoot! Shoot! Don't wait! Shoot quickly!"
In an instant, iron cannons were set up again, and the black muzzles were pointed directly at the figures approaching them quickly!
Serizawa Kamo narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no fear at all. His footwork remained unchanged and his speed was a bit faster!
Soon enough, he leaned down to pick up a corpse on the ground, carried it with his left hand, and used it as a shield to block in front of himself.
Although it was just a corpse, it weighed hundreds of kilograms anyway.
He can easily lift hundreds of kilograms of objects with just one hand... only a powerful man like Serizawa Kamo can use such a move.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Phew! Phew!
Serizawa Kamo felt a moderate impact on his left hand...two projectiles hit the human shield in front of him.
He lowered his head and more completely hid his entire body behind the "human shield".
Using corpses as shields... The commanders of the rebel army never expected that Serizawa Duck could rush into the formation in this way while neutralizing the threat of bullets!
"Shoot! Shoot! Don't stop!"
The rebel commanders, with a look of fear on their cheeks, forced their throats to burst into hysterical tones.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
As the distance continues to shorten, more and more projectiles hit the "human shield".
However, the penetration power of the matchlock gun was really insufficient.
After the projectile sinks into the "human shield", it is like instant milk powder that touches hot water and is "baited" directly.
Just like that, relying on the "human shield impact", Serizawa Duck suddenly broke into the enemy group!
"Drink ah ah ah ah ah!"
Serizawa Duck roared, threw away the human shield in his hand, and like a hungry carnivorous beast, he leaped towards the thief gun formation that was already close at hand!
I have to say that the timing he chose to attack was truly wonderful.
The front row of the musket formation had just fired a shot and had not yet had time to retreat to the rear.
The exchange of queues has not yet been completed... In other words, now is the time when this formation is most vulnerable!
Serizawa Kamo used the momentum of his forward lunge to slash the knife that was raised above his head with all his strength, and slashed at the bandit directly in front of him.
Poof!
Blood arrows surge!
With just one blow, a large living person was cut into two neat halves!
"Drink ah ah ah ah ah!"
The roar didn't stop... As soon as Serizawa Kamo stood still after falling heavily, he quickly danced the steel knife, drawing silvery flashes of light in mid-air.
In an instant, the blood turned into silver light!
He first started from the upper right position and used Kasaya to slash. The knife in his hand roared and went straight to someone's head.
The man subconsciously raised his matchlock gun horizontally in an attempt to block the blow.
Except for the hollow barrel, the remaining parts of the matchlock gun are basically made of wood.
With such a structure, how could it possibly be able to withstand Serizawa Duck's heavy slashes?
Sure enough - the matchlock gun split open along with the head, and the blade that had penetrated the Tianling Gai was directly embedded in the Adam's apple.
Serizawa Kamo quickly pulled out the knife, but in the blink of an eye, he pulled the knife back to his hand and turned around to attack the next opponent.
In front of him - a short man with a bloodless face, screamed in surprise, and subconsciously raised the matchlock gun in his hand.
The burning match rope has been stuck on the hook and is ready to go.
But Serizawa Duck's movements were faster.
I saw Serizawa stagger his steps, duck down, and while ducking away from the muzzle of the gun, he aimed at the short man's belly and executed a reverse cassock chop.
The sword light soaring into the sky cut open his stomach and took another life with him.
With the rapid passage of life force, the ready-to-fire matchlock gun naturally slipped from the palm of the short boy.
Serizawa quickly picked up his left hand and caught it.
In the next breath, he raised his gun and aimed at someone not far away - bang - the bullet hit the person's chest, and the person vomited blood and fell to the ground.
After all, playing with firearms is not Serizawa's forte.
He threw down the matchlock gun that he could no longer use, held the knife in both hands, and focused on the three-foot green blade in his palm.
In the next breath, his body transformed into a blurry afterimage again and plunged into the enemy group!
Facing the fierce attack of Serizawa Duck and the hunting of this bloodthirsty beast, the thief iron gunners who lost their distance advantage were like sheep, with no power to resist at all!
All they can do now is tremble!
The blade of the knife was lifted upward, and a certain bandit's chest was torn open like paper.
The blade slashed down, and the other bandit's body was like a spring. After hitting the ground, it bounced, and then fell back to the ground heavily. A large pool of blood immediately spread around him.
The blade slashed to the left, and the good man's head flew into the sky.
The blade slashed to the right, and the upper half of the body fell out, while the lower half of the body took a few steps forward under the influence of inertia.
The powerful destructive power of Shinto Mu-Nen-ryu always makes the battle scene extremely bloody.
Serizawa Kamo is violent to his heart's content, it's really unstoppable!
The originally orderly musket array suddenly became chaotic.
Suddenly, a bandit jumped out of a shallow pit not far away and stabbed him with a bamboo spear.
Unexpectedly, Serizawa Kamo had already locked onto this person's position with the corner of his eye.
He turned sideways, blocked the head of the gun with his knife, stepped forward, slashed with the knife, and killed the man, with the blade deeply embedded in the man's body.
Just as he was about to take the knife back, he suddenly found that the blade was entangled in the roots of a thousand-year-old tree and was difficult to pull out.
After a long period of continuous fighting, the blade was covered with blood and fat, as if it were covered with a thin film. The blade was no longer sharp, and the blade was no longer sharp whether it was swung or sheathed.
Just at the moment when he couldn't pull back the sword, a sharp-eyed thief spotted the gap, raised the sword in his hand, and charged forward!
The cold blade was coming... In desperation, Serizawa Kamo gritted his teeth, showed a fierce look in his eyes, and directly abandoned the steel knife in his hand. At the same time, he did not pick up other weapons, and just started to fight with bare hands!
With his excellent martial arts skills, he dodged his body to avoid the opponent's attack, and then swung a sharp right hook, hitting the opponent's left face!
As the sound of bone cracking sounded, the man's face twisted into a strange shape.
Serizawa Duck's offensive continues.
In the next breath, he was really like a hungry carnivorous beast, opening his bloody mouth, rushing forward, and biting the opponent's neck!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-!!"
The man let out a shrill scream that made those who heard it sad and those who listened to it crying.
Streams of scarlet, warm blood dripped down Serizawa Duck's chin.
I saw him using a lot of force, his upper and lower teeth suddenly closed... and blood spattered!
He chewed off a large piece of meat! And directly bit off the main artery in the man's neck!
“Ho…! Ho…! Ho…! Ho…!”
The screams turned into moans.
The man clutched his heavily bleeding neck and collapsed to the ground, his eyes turned white and he could only breathe in but not out.
Serizawa Duck slowly raised his head, raised his gaze, and scanned the enemies around him.
Wherever he looked, the bandits retreated one after another.
You look at me, I look at you... one of them has an expression dominated by intense fear.
His eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, his whole body was covered in blood, and he had a large piece of human flesh still dripping with blood in his mouth. He was breathing heavily as if mixed with sand... Such an appearance made people tremble just by looking at it!
However, the thieves gathered here are worthy of being carefully selected warriors.
After a brief hesitation, some people regained their courage and approached the beast from all directions, launching a massive siege.
But at this moment, a new flash of light suddenly appeared on the left side of the beast.
Just like swatting mosquitoes, all thieves who came close to Serizawa Duck were swept to the ground one by one by this sudden flash of light.
"It's true...all of them are disturbing masters..."
Serizawa spit out the human flesh in his mouth and turned to look at Genzaburo Inoue beside him.
Genzaburo Inoue smacked his tongue a few times:
"Serizawa-kun, you really are yours! You actually managed to defeat the rebel army's iron artillery formation by yourself."
"Thanks to you, the rebel army's formation has been disrupted, and we can finally launch a counterattack."
As he spoke, he turned his head and pursed his lips backwards.
Serizawa heard a noise coming from behind.
He followed the sound - and saw the soldiers of the 4th and 6th Divisions jumping out of the foxholes they had been hiding in and joining in the counterattack against the rebels.
His brave performance of "breaking into the enemy's formation alone and being invincible in every direction" not only eliminated the threat of the matchlock gun and caused chaos in the enemy's formation, but also greatly boosted the morale of his own side!
As the soldiers of the 4th and 6th squadrons arrived at the front line one after another, fierce shouts of killing once again enveloped the entire eastern front.
However, what is different from before is that the situation between the two parties has changed significantly.
The Shinsengumi side was full of momentum.
As for the rebels... after suffering a head-on attack from Serizawa Duck, their fighting spirit visibly weakened.
Serizawa Kamo turned around the situation on the entire Eastern Front with his outstanding personal force and heroic courage without fear of death!
At this time, Inoue Genzaburo spoke again:
"Serizawa-kun, let's go up. You can attack according to your own ideas, and I will do my best to cooperate with you."
Having said that, he set up the Oshu Shirakawa Sui Kanejo in his hand.
Hearing this, Serizawa Kamo sneered a few times, "haha", and then said half-jokingly:
"In that case, you have to follow me closely!"
Genzaburo Inoue gave a toothy smile and spoke boldly:
"That's natural! Although I'm not young anymore, my bones are still alive!"
Serizawa ducked down and picked up a relatively new knife at his feet.
On the way to pick up the knife, he turned his head back - his eyes traveled through the layers of space, and finally locked firmly on the tall figure standing with his hands behind his back.
He glared fiercely at Qingdeng, who was watching the battle silently.
The other party noticed his gaze and smiled at him.
He snorted heavily, and both his expression and tone exuded an aura of indignation.
Soon, as if he was too lazy to argue with Qingto anymore, he gritted his teeth and looked away, and then, with the close cooperation of Genzaburo Inoue, launched a new powerful offensive against the bandit army in front of him.
…
…
The bandit camp, our formation——
Shibasaki Renjuro and Settsu Yorimitsu sat side by side, listening carefully to the various battle reports sent back by the messengers.
"Shibasaki-sama! Settsu-sama! The westward offensive is blocked!"
"The troops in the south have been repelled again! The enemy general responsible for guarding the south seems to be the famous 'The Most Beautiful Woman in Edo' Chiba Sanako!"
"The battle to the east is very fierce! The enemy's counterattack is very strong, and we are attacking with all our might!"
…
The advancement on all fronts... is far from smooth.
Not to mention the west and south sides, even the eastern battlefield, where high hopes were placed, was only a draw...
Faced with such a situation, Shibazaki Renjuro couldn't help but sink his face, pursed his lips, and pondered to himself.
"Mr. Settsu, what do you think?"
Settsu Norimitsu narrowed his eyes in deep thought.
After a while, he whispered:
"Shibasaki-sama, there is no need to panic."
"Although the battle situation on the front line is not ideal, it doesn't matter."
"What we have to do next remains unchanged! Continue to act according to the pre-determined battle plan!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice:
"Master Shibasaki, it's time to launch the second phase of our combat plan!"
As soon as these words came out, Shibasaki Renjuro's expression suddenly became stern.
Settsu Yorimitsu’s tone became more and more passionate:
"Send more troops to the east! Put on a tough stance of 'vowing to capture the east' to further attract the enemy's attention!"
"Although this is just a feint attack, in order to deceive Tachibana Aoden, the troops responsible for attacking the east must not relax! We must show the spirit of 'never return until the enemy's formation is broken'!"
"If we can capture the east side, that would be the best."
"Now...send out our Rangers! Give the enemy a 'certain blow'!"
…
…
About 10 minutes later——
A small force of about 30 people, fully equipped, quietly left the bandit camp.
They entered the winding mountain path, and under the protection of the trees, headed towards the Shinsengumi's position... towards the battlefield!
