I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 1078 Qing Deng "Eat my big bullet!" [4800]

The four cannons loaned by the Sendai Domain could only fire solid bullets, not shotgun shells or shrapnel shells.

Although it is old, the weapon focuses on adapting to local conditions - in the current situation, the most suitable weapon to use is solid bullets!
The enemy soldiers gathered in the narrow stairwell. Just aim and shoot randomly to easily knock down a row of them.

A solid iron ball that is bigger than a human head is coming at you at high speed... Just looking at it makes your scalp numb! A mortal body cannot resist it at all! If you get hit, you will be injured, and if you touch it, you will die!
I saw this iron ball... no, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a "cannonball". I saw this cannonball crash into the enemy camp, splashing out an astonishing blood mist!
Those who were hit directly by this shell either had their bodies broken or torn into pieces...it plowed a horrifying bloody path!
It is no exaggeration to describe the destructive power of this solid weapon as a "plow". Its destructive power is just like a sickle cutting grass!

With just one shot, the enemy formation was shattered.

In the blink of an eye, the shell slowly fell to the ground as its potential energy was completely dissipated. It bounced on the ground, jumped high, and happened to hit the thigh of a unlucky guy behind it - the thigh of this person was bent directly at an incredible angle.

"What kind of weapon is this?!"

"Ahhhh! My, my legs!"

"Quick! Stand up! That guy is coming to kill us!"

"Those who have guns, shoot! Those who have arrows, release!"

The sudden attack of strange weapons and the severely damaged formation caused the enemy to fall into brief chaos.

Qing Deng took advantage of the victory and quickly threw away the empty cannon in his hand, stretching his hand to the right. Seeing this, Ida Akira, who was standing on his right side, quickly handed over the cannon in his hand.

Qing Deng quickly raised the brand new barrel and pulled the trigger again.

boom! !

New shells, new blood path.

These four large barrels are not light in weight, and under normal circumstances, at least two people are required to use them properly.

Because it is a rare big guy, the shells it can load are also huge! The destructive power and recoil caused by this are terrifying!

Every time Qing Deng pulled the trigger, people like Date Koichi standing behind him could feel the strong wind blowing towards them - this was the wind caused by the powerful recoil.

If a person with a weak body were to operate this big gun, his arm would most likely be injured by the recoil, or even dislocated or fractured.

But Qing Deng relied on his strong physique to operate the barrel with ease, and endured the recoil that was enough to blow a person away without changing his expression, which left Ida Koichi and others stunned.

In this way, Qing Deng slowly approached the enemy camp while repeatedly pulling the trigger.

After firing a shell, he quickly threw away the empty barrel in his hand, reached back, and took the new barrel from Ida Koichi and others behind him.

One shot, one shot, and another shot! After four deafening explosions, all four barrels were emptied.

After throwing the last cannon at his feet, Qing Deng showed emotion on his face - it was one of the rare times when he thought, "This is more useful than a sword."

With just four shells, he inflicted damage that might not have been possible even if he had swung ten times.

Once upon a time, he wanted a pistol but couldn't get one.

And now, he only needs to open his mouth to buy countless firearms.

If he wanted to, he could just put a lot of pistols on his waist, pull out a gun when he meets someone, and after shooting his opponent full of holes, he could say lightly "Times have changed", "Take my big gun", "Why is a sword so inconvenient? Everything can be a sword".

But he didn't do that.

Firstly, he was used to using swords and had developed a path dependence on them. Once he encountered any trouble, he would subconsciously draw his sword to solve it.

Secondly, the current firearms were too backward, with low firing rate and accuracy. In most cases, shooting with a gun was less efficient than swinging a sword.

However, it is the general trend of the times that hot weapons will surpass cold weapons in all aspects. It will not be long before these defects of firearms will be corrected one by one.

At this moment, Qing Deng couldn't help but think: When the hot weapons are fully upgraded one day, I might as well transform myself into a "gun master" who holds a heavy machine gun in each hand and shoots at everyone I see!

This messy thought is only fleeting.

Qing Deng quickly put aside this distracting thought and refocused his attention on the unfinished war in front of him.

In just a few seconds, all four shells hit the enemy's position.

Looking up, the originally tight and grim enemy formation had turned into a horrifying slaughterhouse!

What would it be like to be hit by four solid bullets as big as basketballs?
It is difficult for human words to describe it accurately.

Layers of blood stain the stone floor of the stairwell dark brown.

Although many people were lucky enough to avoid the bombardment and still had the strength to fight, the heavy casualties made their rain of arrows and gun screens extremely thin, far less than at the beginning, and the threat was greatly reduced.

bass!
Qing Deng drew the Vairocana from his waist, and the clanging sound of the sword and the loud shout rang out:
"Shinsengumi! Samurai of the Ou-Yu coalition! Follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ida Koichi and others who followed closely behind him responded first.

In fact, they came with a mission.

On the eve of the expedition, Date Keikuni specifically told them: Fight to the death! Assist the King wholeheartedly! Restore the image of the Sendai Domain in his heart!
Although Date Keikuni had many schemes and wanted to keep the Sendai Domain independent so that he could have the best of both worlds, under the power of Aoto, he could only keep his tail between his legs and show his loyalty.

Since "serving the King" has become an unchangeable reality, then we can only cling to Qing Deng's thighs and earn more benefits for the Sendai Domain!
Ida Qingbang has already placed his bets on Qingdeng - he is betting that Qingdeng can become the biggest winner in this chaotic world!
Although being Qing Deng's ally is tiring, and once he needs you, he will order you around without hesitation, but he is really generous to his meritorious officials, and even humble civilians can be promoted to samurai due to their merits.

As long as he serves Qing Deng wholeheartedly, when he rebuilds the empire in the future, the power of the Sendai Domain may be able to rise to a higher level with his return of favors!
Faced with the feudal lord's orders, the "Sendai Seven Spears" dared not disobey.

What's more, in the "Ou Yu Trial" not long ago, Qing Deng had conquered the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou" with absolute force.

The martial arts that he was proud of were easily defeated by the opponent... The three perspectives of the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou" suffered varying degrees of impact.

At this point, when facing Qing Deng, the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou" were like a mouse meeting a cat. They didn't even dare to breathe, and couldn't muster any thought of resisting.

"Samurai of Sendai! Defeat the enemy!"

Ida Akira shouted and became the first one to catch up with Qing Deng.

Immediately afterwards, Nagakura Shinpachi, Todo Heisuke, Oishi Kuwajiro...the shining sword beams once again filled the world!
Under Qing Deng's leadership, the soldiers rushed down the ladder like a flood and crashed heavily into the enemy formation, and a brutal hand-to-hand combat ensued.

At zero distance, the effectiveness of muskets and bows and arrows was greatly reduced, and the enemy's advantage was greatly suppressed.

Qing Deng leaped into the enemy group. With the first sweep of his sword, he chopped down three enemy soldiers. With the second swing of his sword to the upper left, two more enemy soldiers were chopped to the ground. With the third swing of his sword, he retracted the sword. His skill of "transforming retracting the sword into a slashing strike" was extremely proficient. As the blade flipped, three more corpses fell at his feet.

The next moment, he swung the fourth knife.

This attack was not forward, but backward - the enemy soldier who tried to sneak attack Qing Deng was hit by Qing Deng before he could even launch a move.

The opponent's entire chest was cut open, flesh and blood were exposed, and the bones were revealed, as if one could even see the heart beating "boom, boom".

However... the other party did not fall down! He spit out blood foam from his mouth and stared at Qing Deng fiercely.

Qing Deng's eyes flickered slightly - he was already very experienced in such situations.

Before the other party could counterattack, he took the initiative to pursue him, spinning his body and blade to cut off his head.

Qing Deng wiped off the remaining blood on the blade and shouted a warning:
"Be careful! There are 'medicine jars' among them! Chop off their heads and hearts!"

Upon hearing this, Nagakura Shinpachi and others were startled.

After learning the lesson from the "Night Attack on Hakodate Bay", Qing Deng specifically announced to the entire army on the eve of the battle: The enemy does not have the so-called "immortality" at all! They are not monsters that cannot be killed!

To this end, Qing Deng made up a lie, saying that those hard-to-kill guys in the enemy army had taken special secret medicine and were normal human beings.

Qing Deng made up a nickname for them: "Medicine Jars".

This is a little psychological trick. The name, which carries a strong sense of humor, can reduce the soldiers' fear of these monsters.

The appearance of the "medicine jar" was completely expected, and the soldiers faced the battle calmly.

It's not just Qing Deng. Thanks to the precedent of the "Night Attack on Hakodate Bay", Nagakura Shinpachi and others have also accumulated experience in dealing with "medicine jars" and are no longer as flustered as before.

"Be careful! Don't cut their limbs or bellies! It won't work!" "Damn it! It's too uncomfortable! My best move is to stab people in the belly!"

“Damn it! I even pulled out his intestines, and you’re still not going to die?!”

The incredible vitality of the "medicine jar" certainly brought considerable trouble to the shogunate.

Chop off their heads and hearts - it sounds simple, but not everyone is a swordsman, and you can't just chop off these parts whenever you want.

The Japanese and the Ainu; the samurai and the hunters; the brave race to be the first and the desperate defense; the increasingly fierce attacking army and the monsters that refuse to fall... In this melee, there is no distinction between front and back.

Whether they are Japanese or Ainu, they only need to raise their heads to find their enemies and allies in front, behind, left and right at the same time.

The two sides are mixed together, you are in me, I am in you, like a pot of stew, every place is a front line! There is no safe zone at all!

At this time and in this place, strategies and tactics are of no use.

At this moment, the only thing both sides can rely on is personal strength and willpower to see who can hold on longer; the only thing they can do is to attack all enemies within sight and try to survive.

Most of the soldiers of the shogunate risked their lives in order to gain fame and honor.

As for the "Ainu Coalition", many of them did not seek fame and fortune, but instead yearned for a distant ideal.

"Send them back!"

"If we lose this battle, we will never be able to take back our ancestral land!"

"Hold on a little longer! Xilika will send people to support us soon!"

Qing Deng, who had just joined the battle, did not realize the tenacity of the "Ainu Coalition" until this moment.

He had only experienced similar willpower in the Choshu clan's special forces.

If it were an average army, they would have probably collapsed as soon as the city wall fell.

Even the city walls were lost, but they still gritted their teeth and refused to retreat... In terms of fighting spirit alone, the "Ainu Coalition" was superior to the Shogunate!
The bravery of the Ainu people, especially the "medicine jars", is truly remarkable.

But the situation is set.

When they were approached and had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the shogunate army, the foundation for their defeat was already laid.

Leaving aside Aoto and Ogata, the two strongest fighters at the Lunwai level, Nagakura Shinpachi, Todo Heisuke, and all the members of the Second Division are killers.

In a hand-to-hand combat, this group of killers will never let their opponents gain any advantage.

For every Japanese who fell, more Ainu died.

These "medicine jars" with amazing vitality could only cause some trouble to the shogunate army and slightly delay its offensive...that was all.

In a nutshell, the desperate fighting of the "Ainu Coalition" will not have any impact on the overall situation.

The cruel reality, a fact that cannot be changed.

Qing Deng swung his sword mechanically, killing every enemy soldier around him with ease.

Suddenly, his vision became clear—he had already killed his way through the enemy lines and rushed out of the battlefield!

Because the environment was too chaotic and everyone was busy fighting and had no time to care about anything else, no one noticed that Qing Deng did not turn around and charge the enemy again, but quietly left the battlefield and ran towards the depths of Goryokaku.

……

……

Somewhere in Goryokaku——

Ogata is looking for Xilika.

He had successfully completed the mission of assisting Qing Deng in retaking Goryokaku.

Now, he has to concentrate on completing the task of "researching 'immortality'".

Maher is the most crucial person to solve this mystery.

Unfortunately, according to the information currently known to Ogata, Mael is not in Goryokaku at the moment.

In desperation, Ogata had to settle for the next best thing and go look for Xilika.

During the days of lurking in Goryokaku, Ogata has roughly figured out the architectural layout of this fortress, and also grasped the location of Silika's headquarters - Hakodate Bugyosho!

The Hakodate Magistrate's Office is the core of Goryokaku. It is located in the center of the city. It is 97 meters long from east to west and 59 meters from north to south. Some parts of it are built on two floors. It consists of the western office part that occupies about 4/3 of the total area and the magistrate's office in the southeast. In addition, the office part is divided into the large hall connected to the south building with the front entrance, the central building where the doshin-no-sho and other places are located, and the northern building with Shirasu and Doma.

Although it is not clear whether Xilika is in the relevant enforcement office, it will never go wrong to go there and take a look.

Suddenly, Ogata seemed to sense something and stopped walking.

The next moment, Qing Deng's voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Mr. Ogata, I finally found you."

Because he had heard Qing Deng's footsteps beforehand, Ogata turned around to look at Qing Deng without panicking:

"Jujun, how did you find me?"

"You just released such an amazing 'force' that it's hard for me not to notice your position."

When Qing Deng was still fighting on the south city wall, he could sense Ogata's unparalleled "momentum" from afar.

However, due to the long distance, no one except Qing Deng noticed it.

Ogata raised his eyebrows:

"You can sense my 'power'? Not bad, your senses seem to be sharper."

After the greetings, Qing Deng straightened his face slightly and got straight to the point with a serious expression:
"Mr. Ogata, have you gained anything these days?"

Ogata said calmly:
“To be honest, it’s been quite rewarding.”

He briefly told Qing Deng about a series of matters including Maher and the "Berserker Water".

After hearing this, Qing Deng's face darkened.

The Ainu rebellion was actually related to Elodie's father... The original guess was confirmed, but Qingdeng was not happy at all.

In addition to providing a large number of guns and artillery to Xilika, Maher also provided a potion whose name sounded unusual.

"'Berserker Water'... 'Berserker Essence'... It's really a 'medicine jar'... Mr. Ogata, what is 'alchemy'?"

In Qing Deng's understanding, "alchemy" is the prototype of modern chemistry, and its main goal is to transform base metals into precious metals, especially gold. The name sounds very impressive, but it is actually a poor version of chemistry - all of the above is Qing Deng's original understanding.

It has been confirmed that this space and time possesses very mysterious things such as "immortal power" and "spirit of all things".

In this case, it is not surprising that the "alchemy" of this time and space can really produce some strange things!
Ogata shook his head.

"I'm not sure, I just heard a little bit about it. Anyway, let's go find that Xilika first. He should know something."

As he spoke, he raised his chin in the direction of the Hakodate Magistrate's Office.

Qingden smiled:
"Can you let me go with you?"

"my pleasure."
