I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

This was the attack Qingdeng launched after drawing Isezha Fuluo's bowstring to its maximum... The arrow was incredibly swift! Its force was so great that it was impossible to tell whether the object being shot was an arrow or a cannonball!

In an instant, the sharp arrow, whistling through the wind, pierced directly into the enemy ranks, splashing out a mist of blood—the leader's horse's head was pierced through!

Although the arrow that pierced the horse's head showed signs of weakness, it was still flying straight and in the blink of an eye, it pierced the knight behind the horse's head.

The arrow pierced the man's chest, and only when the arrow's momentum reached the fletching did its potential energy finally return to zero.

With just one arrow, it pierced through the horse's head and the man's body... truly, "the bow is drawn like a full moon, and the arrow is released like a shooting star!"

This is not an isolated phenomenon—such an astonishing scene is unfolding right here and now!

Just like when he used the "kite tactic" to keep the bandits hanging, after shooting an arrow, Qingdeng quickly pulled out a new arrow and launched a continuous and fierce attack.

Generally speaking, the standard way to handle a waka bow is to first place the bow vertically, making it perpendicular to the ground, then raise it overhead, hold the bow with your left hand and pinch the string with your right hand, and then exert force with both hands at the same time, as if pulling down a heavy object, to draw the bow in one go.

This posture effectively utilizes the muscles of the lower back, making it easy to exert force.

However... even so, for Qingdeng, this method of using the bow was far too slow! The rate of fire couldn't be increased!

Therefore, when he used a bow, he never followed those complicated rules and regulations; he could draw the bow however he wanted and shoot the arrow however he wanted.

Anyway, he's strong enough! Even without using those easy-to-strength postures, he can easily draw a powerful bow!

The air currents stirred up by the arrows gradually coalesced into a gale.

In just 5 seconds, 5 people and 5 horses had died.

They all died in the same way: in pairs!

The arrow pierced the horse's head first, then its heart!

The violent shooting method of "one arrow, two lives" is just like a terrible plague, spreading a virus called "soul scattering" among the enemy ranks.

Of course, they soon realized what it truly meant to be utterly destroyed.

Because... Qingdeng has broken in!

"Moo moo moo moo—!"

The radish, which usually presents a docile image, now reveals its fierce and violent side.

It lowered its head, reduced its center of gravity, and rammed hard into the horse blocking its way.

There's a saying, "Nine oxen and two tigers," meaning that idioms and proverbs related to oxen are always associated with strength.

How can a horse's strength compare to that of an ox?

Moreover, the horse that Radish was fighting against was a small breed of horse that was only about 1.2 meters tall.

After being hit by the carrot, the horse's chest caved in, forming a basin shape. It coughed up blood, its limbs convulsed, and it died instantly. The rider on its back also fell to the ground, dazed and unable to get up.

The radishes didn't stop.

As he continued forward with Qingdeng in his car, he smashed into everything in his path.

After becoming Qingdeng's exclusive mount, Carrot lived a comfortable life.

She was first fostered by the Chiba family and was provided with good food and drink.

After Qing Deng was promoted to a position as a servant of the Imperial Household Department, he had plenty of money and took the cow back. He built a spacious cowshed for it and hired professionals to take good care of it.

The result of Qing Deng and Sanako's massive spending was that Radish was raised too well! He doesn't even look like a cow anymore!

Not only is its fur glossy, but it also has an incredibly robust physique, with thick layers of fat beneath its fur and well-developed muscles beneath that fat.

Although it looks round and cute at first glance, anyone with a little common sense knows that this body type with fat covering muscles is the most terrifying, as it is both strong and resistant to beatings!

While the radish was clearing the way, Qingdeng was not idle either.

He did not draw his sword, but continued firing arrows.

As the distance closed, his attacks became even more ferocious.

Beyond seven paces, a bow is more powerful than a sword; within seven paces, a bow is even more powerful than a sword!

At close range, the possibility of Qing Deng missing the target is almost zero.

In addition, due to their lack of technical and tactical skills, the bandits always moved in groups, with human walls piled up and crowds intertwined.

Therefore, Qingdeng stopped shooting at horses and started shooting directly at people!

It's still the same: one arrow takes two lives. Before, it was "the life of a man and a horse," but now it's "the lives of two people."

After piercing one person's body with an arrow, he then delivered a "heart-piercing" blow to another person behind him.

Just as the man and the ox were rampaging through the area as if they were in an empty field, someone, with excellent luck, successfully got close to Qingdeng's left front.

"Wa ...

He didn't care about shouting any harsh words anymore. While letting out a roar to bolster his courage, he forcefully swung down the katana he had raised above his head, aiming to behead Qing Deng.

Both the timing of his attack and the direction he chose to attack were commendable.

However... this person overlooked one thing: Qingdeng has bodyguards!

In the blink of an eye, a blue-handled naginata emerged from the side, steadily blocking the katana that was slashing down from mid-air.

The next instant, Sanako flicked her wrist, deflecting the man's sword. A moment later, the blade traced a half-circle, swiftly slashing the man off his horse.

Immediately afterwards, she swung the knife in the opposite direction, and another spray of blood splattered everywhere.

No matter what her mood or thoughts were before, once she entered battle mode, this female swordswoman, who was no less capable than any man, would naturally hold her breath, concentrate, and go all out!

Sanako kept her eyes and ears open, making sure no one got close to Qingdeng.

Anyone who tries to get close to Qingdeng will have their body torn apart by the long, sharp blade.

The naginata is Sanako's most proficient weapon, and wielding this long weapon on horseback is just the right way to achieve the best effect!

From the perspective of this era, Sanako, who is 1.6 meters tall, is a "female giant" in itself. Most men are not as tall as Sanako.

Riding a strong Aizu horse, with extraordinary height and wielding a naginata over 2 meters long... To the bandits of this time and place, they could not find the beauty of "Edo's most beautiful woman" in Sanako; they only sensed terror and ferocity!

In the blink of an eye, the man and woman who had stormed into the enemy ranks and wreaked havoc on the enemy forces had already reached the commander.

Upon seeing this, the commander instantly turned pale and instinctively reached out his right hand to draw the knife from his waist.

At the same instant, Qing Deng raised his hand and fired an arrow—

"Ok?"

The commander subconsciously let out a puzzled groan—he suddenly felt a lightness in his right side.

His eyes kept glancing at his right side... where his right forearm should have been, only blood was gushing out.

The arrow Qingdeng just shot hit his right arm, which was holding the knife.

The immense power, like the gaping maw of a jackal, ripped off his right arm!

Under the influence of adrenaline, he had not yet felt any pain.

However... his face was filled with intense horror.

The changes didn't stop—a dark shadow loomed over his vision—Qing Deng stretched out his arm and grabbed the man, tucking him under his left armpit.

"Zanako, didn't I tell you already?"

Qing Deng turned half his face, chuckling softly, and said to Sanako in a tone that was half teasing and half serious:

"I wield my bow and arrows, you wield your naginata; what can a million men do to me?"

*******

Chapter 645 We have no rivals ahead! [4200]

No sooner had Qingdeng captured the commander than he suddenly felt the world before him open up – it turned out that the remaining bandit cavalry had finally succumbed to the pressure of death and fled for their lives.

Although Qing Deng and Sanako's offensive was very fierce, after their rampage, they only killed about twenty people in total, which was only one-fifth of the enemy's total.

However, such casualties were enough to cause the mob to collapse.

Don't expect any strong will from a hastily formed unit that won't fight to the death without a whip or a generous reward.

The unerring "Hachiman Daimyojin" and the incomparably brave "Female Giant" had already driven their morale to rock bottom.

[Note: Hachiman Daimyojin is the guardian deity of the Minamoto clan, and also the god of archery.]

Seeing that even their commander had been captured alive, their last remaining fighting spirit vanished instantly.

In the blink of an eye, they scattered and ran away, fleeing in panic, demonstrating to Qingdeng and Zuona what it meant to "run like wolves and pigs" and to "abandon their armor and weapons." In no time, they were all gone.

Tranquility returned to Qing Deng and Sanako's surroundings.

Hundreds of cavalrymen were easily torn apart and defeated by the attack of just two men, like butter meeting a hot knife... Unless one saw it with their own eyes, ordinary people would never believe such a ridiculous scenario.

However, for Qingdeng, such scenes are quite commonplace.

"Ugh...!"

Because his adrenaline had not yet subsided, the commander, who was being held under Qing Deng's left armpit, was still very energetic and strong.

He struggled desperately, trying to escape from Qingdeng's iron grip.

Without uttering a word or even glancing at him, Qing Deng spoke to Sanako without any emotion:

"Zanako, shut this guy up."

The pose the man carved is quite comical; his buttocks are facing the cow's head on the radish, while his head is facing the cow's buttocks on the radish.

At first glance, Qingdeng looks like he has an Ansai waist drum pinned to his waist... except that this "drum" is a dirty butt.

This position made it difficult for Qing Deng to shut the guy up—because his right hand could hardly reach the guy's head—so he handed the task over to Sanako.

Sanako was quite agreeable.

She picked up the naginata in her hand and struck the man's forehead hard with the back of the blade.

The force was just right... enough to make him faint.
