Chapter 560 Tang Tu Spear Technique: Back to Carbine and Ogata Arrive at the Cossack Camp! (Part 1) [6400]
Now the outer city wall has completely turned into a fierce battlefield.
Fierce fighting can be seen everywhere.
No matter where you go, you can see the soldiers of the Aizu Army and the soldiers of the Red Moon Fortress fighting.
Next to Kamao, there were naturally many generals from their Aizu Army.
Pu Sheng's screams naturally reached the ears of the surrounding generals.
Many generals around him naturally saw Pu Sheng being hit with a sword in the face.
"Lord Kamao!"
"Master Kamei, are you okay?"
"Hurry and protect Mr. Kamou!"
…
"I'm fine!" Pu Sheng covered his left cheek with his left hand, "It's just some skin trauma!"
While shouting these words loudly to calm the minds of his subordinates around him, Kamo quickly jumped a few steps to widen the distance between himself and the old man.
Just now, he came back with his life completely saved.
Facing the Japanese sword that emerged from the broken crutch, Pu Sheng was stunned.
Not only did Pu Sheng not expect that there was something special inside that crutch, but he also did not expect that Lao Kazuo, who was almost old enough to be his grandfather, would have such neat skills.
Just now, he completely witnessed the old Kazuto inserting this weird-looking knife into his left waist, and then using the sword-drawing technique to slash at his head in a gesture that was completely unlike an action that an old man could do.
Faced with the sword-drawing technique used by the old man, Pu Sheng relied entirely on his body's conditioned reflexes and leaned back in time to narrowly avoid fatal injuries. He only suffered a cut on his cheek.
The general was attacked, and the surrounding generals were naturally unable to sit still.
They rushed towards the old man from all directions, carrying weapons.
Most of the soldiers were intercepted by the soldiers of the Red Moon Fortress. Only a small number of people counted only 4 soldiers who killed the old man.
Facing the four soldiers attacking from different directions, the old Kazuto put on a posture that Hamo had never seen before.
Pu Sheng promised that he had never seen such a weird stance. Although he tried hard to identify it, he still couldn't tell which swordsmanship style it was.
When Lao He took up his stance, the four soldiers happened to launch an attack.
Lao He first used his knife to pick away the spear on his left side that was about to stab his body. Then he lowered his waist and finally slashed hard from the lower left to the upper right. This knife was done in one go, directly killing the soldier.
His head was split in half.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Heren nimbly jumped to the side, dodging the other three spears. Then, like a hungry tiger attacking a sheep, he jumped into the middle of the three soldiers, first slashing one of their heads diagonally, and then
He slightly raised the tip of the knife and pierced the throat of the other guy behind him. When he retracted the knife, he cut off the last person's head with a horizontal slash.
It only took this old man less than 5 breaths to deal with these 4 soldiers from beginning to end.
In these short five breaths, Pu Sheng noticed two things.
The first thing: he still didn't understand which style of swordsmanship this old Kazuto used.
The second thing: He noticed that the sword used by the old man did not seem to be a katana or a tachi.
The handle of the sword in his palm is in the style of a Tang sword from the Tang Dynasty. There is also a beautiful white sword tassel tied to the bottom of the handle, which is very characteristic of the Tang Dynasty.
When the blade flips, the sword spike also dances.
Although Pu Sheng did not recognize which school of swordsmanship the old Kazuto used, he could see that the characteristics of the swordsmanship used by the old Kazuto were "elegant" and "agile".
This kind of swordsmanship, coupled with the sword with a white sword tassel, makes the old Kazuto's posture of wielding the sword a little more beautiful.
Since he couldn't tell what type of swordsmanship the old Kazuto used, Kamao no longer struggled with this issue.
He put down the hand that had been covering the wound on his left cheek.
Fortunately, although there was a longitudinal stab wound on his left cheek, which completely disfigured his face, his left eye was not injured, and Pu Sheng could still see normally with both eyes.
Most of Pu Sheng's face was now covered with blood, and he looked particularly terrifying.
He didn't have the free time to slowly bandage the wound on his face now, so he could only let the blood flow.
But Pu Sheng doesn't feel much pain now.
Because now, he has put all his body and mind on the old man in front of him.
There was... strong fear in his eyes.
Pu Sheng himself is a master of swordsmanship, so just from the few moves made by Lao He, he could see that Lao He was not an ordinary person.
Ordinary generals are probably no match for this Lao Heren.
If they ignore Lao He, who is obviously on the side of the Red Moon Fortress, they will probably suffer countless casualties.
No matter what, Pu Sheng would not see this scene happening.
Therefore, Kamio held the handle of the knife with his left hand that had just been lowered from his cheek.
The moment he walked away, holding the thunder in his hands tightly, Kasheng was like a spring that was tightened and then released suddenly, rushing towards the old Kazuto at a flying speed.
Pu Sheng knew very well that at this time, he was the only one who could deal with that Laohe.
Lao Heren also immediately noticed Pu Sheng rushing toward him.
He did not flinch, but grasped the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, put his back foot on the ground, and took the initiative to greet Pu Sheng like an arrow leaving the string.
Just as their bodies were about to collide, they both drew their swords at the same time.
Pu Sheng's sword goes from top to bottom.
Lao He's sword is drawn from bottom to top.
Kamo's target was Lao Kazuto's shoulder, intending to cut the man in two with his knife from the shoulder.
But when Raizo was about to cut into Lao Kazuto's body, Lao Kazuto moved sideways quickly, causing Kamao's tachi to brush past Lao Kazuto's body.
Lao Kazuto's attack was also a blade that swept from bottom to top. Due to Kasumo's timely dodge, it only cut some sparks on the armor on Kasumo's flank.
The two of them took advantage of the momentum of passing each other and ran forward for a few steps, then stopped almost at the same time, turned to look at the opponent behind them, bent their knees, gathered strength, turned around, and slashed at the two people behind them with their swords.
The actions are almost exactly the same.
clang!
The two knives collided heavily in mid-air, making a sharp sound of gold and iron striking each other.
…
…
Tang Shen felt a sense of pleasure filling his whole body.
It is obvious that he is in the "flesh mill" that he has been avoiding before.
It was obvious that he was engaged in a fierce battle with the sword-wielding master in front of him, and that if he relaxed even a little bit, he would be killed in an instant.
But it's very strange, I feel a different kind of joy in my heart.
Tang Shen himself didn't understand why.
After all, Tang Shen no longer knew what he was thinking or doing since he rushed towards the city wall with the crutch containing his sword.
It’s been a long time…
Tang Shen himself couldn't remember the last time he had such an all-out confrontation with a powerful enemy.
The guy who wields the tachi in front of him is undoubtedly a master, and his physical abilities are far superior to those of Tang Shen, who is quite young.
Tang Shen felt that his body was very hot.
The blood in every part of his body seemed to be burning.
This is the body's instinctive reaction when fighting a strong enemy.
Although his body was extremely hot, Tang Shen did not feel uncomfortable.
Because he was fully immersed in the fierce battle with the powerful enemy, Tang Shen did not realize that his sword swings were becoming more and more powerful and his steps became more and more flexible.
This is the memory accumulated by the body slowly recovering from the bloody battles.
At the same time, apart from not noticing that his movements were getting sharper, Tang Shen also didn't notice that the corners of his mouth had unknowingly turned up slightly in joy.
…
…
A stormy attack and defense.
Whether it is for Kamao or Yugami, a moment of relaxation is enough to determine the outcome.
The breath of the blade, the cold light reflected from the cold iron sword and the Japanese sword are dazzling, and at the same time, you can't help but feel shuddering in your heart.
call!
The tachi once again hit Tang Shen's head with a sharp sound of breaking wind, but Tang Shen quickly avoided it.
After dodging, Tang Shen launched a counterattack without hesitation, slashing at Kamo's unprotected thigh with his sword, but Kamo blocked it with his sword.
The two of them kept repeating the above process. After someone's attack was dodged or blocked, they would definitely be met with a sharp counterattack. The two of them just kept alternating attack and defense.
The Japanese sword and the Japanese sword collided in mid-air again and again, shooting out sparks.
Their confrontation was so intense that the people around them could only "fear away".
Many Aizu generals wanted to go up and help their general, but a battle at this level was simply not something they could intervene in.
The Japanese sword is elegant and swift.
The sword was powerful and heavy.
Kamao's tachi technique is originally a martial art used in horseback combat, and its main moves are powerful and heavy slashes.
But the only result of the slashing attack that he was proud of so far was to hit some Tang Shen's clothes.
As a result, Pu Sheng became more and more frightened as he fought.
This was the first time in a long time that he had encountered a strong opponent, and this strong opponent was an old man of an age who could have been his grandfather.
As the confrontation intensified, Pu Sheng's mentality gradually changed.
Originally, he simply wanted to get rid of this troublesome old guy who was hindering their Aizu army's attack.
But gradually, for the old man in front of him who was holding a completely unfamiliar sword and using a completely unfamiliar swordsmanship, a strong fighting spirit began to slowly appear in Pu Sheng's eyes.
His competitive spirit was aroused.
He longs for it.
Eager to defeat this old guy who uses swordsmanship that he doesn't recognize.
After countless rounds of confrontation with Yugami, Kamo gradually saw a fatal weakness in Yugami.
This weakness is due to his excessive age, which makes Tang Shen's physical strength far inferior to that of Kamao who was in his prime.
Pu Sheng had already noticed that Tang Shen's breathing had begun to become slightly faster.
Once you discover the enemy's weakness, why not seize it and pursue the victory?
Pu Sheng quickly changed his tactics based on Tang Shen's weakness.
It changed from "taking away Yugami's life with one blow" to "forcing Yugami to make greater evasive and defensive actions, consuming Yugami's physical strength".
The atmosphere between the two changed because Pu Sheng changed his fighting method.
After the two fought for more than ten rounds, Pu Sheng's tactics gradually began to take effect. Tang Sheng's breathing became more rapid than before.
Due to the weakening of physical strength, Tang Shen's attacks and defenses also began to become slightly sluggish. The originally evenly matched battle situation turned into Kamao's slight advantage.
When Pu Sheng saw this, although his expression remained unchanged, he was secretly happy in his heart.
But he didn't notice: At this time, Tang Shen was narrowing his eyes and looking thoughtfully at Pu Sheng in front of him.
clang!
There was another huge sound of gold and iron striking each other.
Tang Shen once again blocked Kamao's slashing attack with his sword.
But this time, Tang Shen did not fight back.
Instead, he turned around and fled after blocking Kamao's slash with his sword.
Seeing Pu Sheng suddenly turning around and running away, he was stunned for a moment, and then angrily shouted in his heart:
He actually ran away!
In the battle just now, Pu Sheng had the upper hand, so facing Tang Shen who suddenly ran away, Pu Sheng naturally subconsciously thought that Tang Shen ran away because he felt that he could not defeat him.
Pu Sheng doesn't have the bad habit of letting the almost cooked duck fly away.
He held the tachi in his hand and chased after the escaping Tang Shen.
Due to the late start and Yugami's extremely fast pace, when Kamano went to chase him, he was already far behind Yugami.
Kamou is a very traditional kind of warrior who values glory more than life.
In his eyes, Tang Shen's behavior of running away from the battlefield was extremely shameful.
Kamao, who was extremely contemptuous of this extremely shameful behavior and wanted to use words to force Tangshen to turn around and continue fighting with him, shouted:
"You actually escaped from the battlefield! You..."
It's a pity that he only shouted half of his words, and the remaining half of the words could no longer be said.
Because he saw a bit of coldness.
Tang Shen, who was running in front of him, suddenly ducked down at an extremely fast speed and picked up a spear on the ground that was left by an unknown soldier with his left hand.
Tang Shen, who was holding the knife in his right hand and the gun in his left hand, grasped the gun body in the palm of his hand and suddenly raised the gun behind him in a very strange but very sharp gesture.
The point of the spear that was tilted back stabbed directly into the chest of Kamao who was chasing after Yugami.
Looking at the cold light that was rapidly expanding within his field of vision, Pu Sheng's pupils contracted violently.
He knows this spear skill.
This is a very famous move in Tang Tuqiang.
He once learned this technique from a samurai who had traveled to Tang Tu and learned Tang Tu's spear skills. That samurai had demonstrated Tang Tu's spear skills.
The power and practicality of this move left a very deep impression on Pu Sheng, so Pu Sheng instantly recognized that the move used by Tang Shen was the same move that had deeply impressed him.
This is a gun skill.
Pu Sheng remembered that the Tang natives named this spear skill:
Back carbine!
It was too late to dodge, so Pu Sheng swung his sword at the tip of the spear that was piercing his chest, trying to block the spear.
He moves quickly.
But this gun is faster.
clang!
Phew!
The sharp spear point directly penetrated Pu Sheng's armor and pierced into Pu Sheng's flesh and blood.
Although Kamo's thunder attack failed to completely deflect Yugami's spear, it successfully deflected the direction of the spear's thrust. It did not hit the chest, but only hit Kamo's left shoulder.
But the severe pain still made Pu Sheng groan in pain and his legs became weak.
Tang Shen threw away the spear that was still inserted in Pu Sheng's body, leaped in front of Pu Sheng, aimed at Pu Sheng's head and executed a horizontal slash.
Facing the approach of death, Pu Sheng's desire for survival turned into strength. He gritted his teeth and raised the knife in his hand, trying to block Tang Shen's horizontal slash.
There was another deafening blade impact.
Kamao's sword failed to block Yugami's sword, but it had the power to offset Yugami's slash.
The power of the slash was neutralized and hit Kamao on the left side of his head, which was protected by his helmet.
Pu Sheng's helmet saved Pu Sheng's life. Pu Sheng was not killed by this slash, but the helmet that saved his life was hit hard, flew high, and then fell in a beautiful parabola not far away.
on the ground.
Although Pu Sheng was not dead, the huge impact made him feel as if his head had been hit by a hammer. His eyes turned black and there was a "boom, boom, boom" sound in his head.
The strong feeling of dizziness made Pu Sheng try his best just by clenching the knife in his hand.
Tang Shen raised his sword high again, preparing to kill Pu Sheng, who was unable to resist anymore.
But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a few black figures rushing toward him, which were generals of the Aizu Army.
Pu Sheng loved his soldiers as his sons, and now he was finally rewarded.
Seeing that their general was about to be killed, the Aizu generals who happened to be nearby did not care so much. In order to save their respected general, they all rushed towards Yugami with all their lives to save them.
Although they were all intercepted by the soldiers of the Red Moon Fortress, seven of them successfully broke through the blockade and reached Tang Shen.
Several spears stabbed at different parts of his body, forcing Tang Shen to jump back and dodge.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for Tang Shen to dodge, two soldiers, one after the other, carried Kamou, who was already half-conscious, to escape. The remaining soldiers stayed where they were, intercepting Tang Shen, and buying time for Pu Sheng to escape.
The soldiers who stayed behind to buy time were all determined to die and were bent on holding Tang Shen down, so they were particularly difficult to deal with.
When Tang Shen got rid of all the soldiers who were desperately trying to hold him back, Pu Sheng had already disappeared from his sight and disappeared on this chaotic battlefield.
"...It's a pity." Tang Shen's face showed a hint of regret and unwillingness.
But regret and unwillingness did not stay on Tang Shen's face for too long.
Although he failed to behead Kamo, luckily he succeeded in keeping Kamo's helmet.
Quickly putting away the regret and reluctance on his face, Tang Shen quickly dodged to Kamo's helmet, which had just been shot away and landed not far away.
Tang Shen raised the helmet high with a spear he picked up everywhere, and then shouted as loudly as he could:
"Your general! I have defeated him!"
Tang Shen kept repeating this sentence loudly, trying to make all the enemy soldiers on the entire city wall hear his shouting.
And his shouting naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding generals.
"Look! It's Lord Kamao's helmet!"
"Where is Lord Kamao?"
"Did Master Pu Sheng die in the battle?"
"Impossible! How could Master Pu Sheng die like this!"
"Where is Lord Kamei? Has anyone seen Lord Kamei?!"
…
After focusing their attention on Yugami and seeing the helmet that looked familiar to them, Yugami raised his head high, panic immediately spread among the Aizu generals at an extremely fast speed.
Some people mistakenly thought that Pu Sheng was killed in battle and were wailing.
Some are anxiously looking for Pu Sheng.
Some people had no idea what was going on, and when they heard someone wailing around them, they looked around in confusion.
If Pu was born here and shouted "I'm fine", he could immediately calm down the morale of the army.
Unfortunately, Pu Sheng, who had lost consciousness, had already been carried away.
No matter how powerful the army is, once the morale of the army fluctuates, the strength it can exert will only be ten percent.
Chanup on the inner city wall keenly sensed the changes in the battlefield on the outer city wall, so he quickly shouted:
"The generals of the He army have been defeated! Drive all the He people out!"
The fluctuating morale of the Aizu generals and Chanup's timely shout caused the battlefield atmosphere on the outer city wall to change in an instant.
The battle situation also took a 180-degree turn.
…
…
The whole army's main formation
"What's going on?!" Daomori's eyes widened, and he looked through the telescope at the battle situation on the outer city wall in the distance.
At first he doubted whether he had seen it wrong.
But no matter how hard he opened his eyes to look, the scene before him did not change at all. The Aizu army, which had the upper hand just now, was suddenly suppressed and beaten...
The battle line was shrinking back at an extremely fast speed, and it felt like after a while, the Aizu generals on the wall would be driven down.
When Inamori was about to send someone to the Aizu Army's main camp to ask what happened, he saw a general in charge hurried towards him with an anxious look on his face.
"Sir! Mr. Pu, Mr. Pu Sheng was seriously injured! He has been carried back by the soldiers now!"
"What?" Inamori's eyes widened in shock, "How did Kamao-kun get injured? Where was he injured? How was the injury?"
"At the end of the day, the general only knows that Mr. Kamao was stabbed in the left shoulder by a spear, bleeding a lot, and was hit hard on the head. He doesn't know the rest!"
Daomori gritted his teeth.
After learning that Kamao was seriously injured, Inamori instantly understood why the originally good battle situation on the city wall was suddenly reversed.
Daomori turned his head and looked at the fortress in the distance with a gloomy face.
"...Give me the order." Inamori said solemnly, "Tell the Aizu army to retreat!"
…
…
The sound of the trumpet to withdraw troops covered the entire Red Moon Fortress.
After receiving the order to withdraw their troops, the Aizu generals who had no fighting spirit immediately hurriedly withdrew from the city wall and from the base of the city wall like wild dogs on the loose.
Due to the disorderly retreat, many people died in the pursuit of soldiers and trampled by their own people during the retreat.
After the generals of the Aizu Army completely withdrew from the shooting range of their muskets, bows and arrows, the soldiers who had just been fighting bloody battles stared blankly at the retreating Japanese soldiers.
Finally, someone shouted, "Repelled them!"
This shout was like igniting the flames of a powder keg, and huge cheers immediately sounded from the inner and outer city walls as if they were about to collapse the front wall.
"Won!"
"Repelled them!"
…
Yugami, with nearly half of his clothes stained dark red by blood, raised his knife and looked expressionlessly at the Aizu generals retreating outside the city.
"How did you come?"
At this time, a male voice with a hint of hesitation sounded beside Tang Shen.
Tang Shen turned around and looked at Chanupu, the owner of the male voice.
Chanup led Retannoe, Lin Ziping and others slowly towards Tang Shen.
Chanup's expression was complicated, while Retannoe's and Lin Ziping's expressions were relatively unified. They looked at Chanup with confused eyes, and then looked at Tang Shen.

PS: Speaking of "returning the gun", I recommend you a video.
Everyone go to station B and search for "Yu Chenghui's Carrying Spear". In the first video, you can see the great master Yu Chenghui demonstrating "Big Spear Shaking" and "Cabbing Spear". The first time I watched this video, I was shocked.
Book friends who don’t know what a “returning gun” is, can watch this video.
