Win!【4800】
"Moo moo moo moo -!"
Carrot roared.
The war horse (ox) takes small steps at first, and then gradually accelerates.
The "dong-dong-dong" sound of horse (ox) hooves hitting the ground is like the sound of drums and thunder.
On the infantry resistance front, the cavalry roamed outside the battlefield. When the enemy's position wavered significantly, the cavalry came back to reap the rewards and expand the results. This was a tried-and-tested tactic in the feudal era.
Qingdeng used this move to deal with the Tenchu ​​Group.
He personally commanded the 7th and 10th divisions and stood by in the woods on the east side of the battlefield.
The reason why he deployed his general camp here was because there was a forest nearby that was very suitable for hiding cavalry.
While other troops were fighting life and death on the front line, the soldiers of the 7th and 10th divisions were waiting collectively in the woods, silently waiting for Qingto's next order.
Qingdeng climbed up the tallest tree and used a telescope to observe the movements on the distant battlefield - from such a long distance, it was difficult to know the accurate battle situation just by relying on his talent "Fire Eyes + 5".
Crouching on the tree trunk and looking at the battlefield with Aoden, there were also the captains of the 7th and 10th divisions, namely Sanako and Harada Sanosuke.
Sanosuke Harada was a low-level samurai, and he had been running around in the countryside since he was a child.
Climbing trees, swimming, fishing, and digging out bird eggs can be said to be something he has mastered with ease.
On the other hand, Sanako...she has no experience in this area.
As the eldest daughter of the Wu family who grew up in a city, had she ever done such a rude thing?
She used her hands and feet and tried back and forth many times, but the end result was the same - after climbing a few steps, she slid back to the ground with a hiss.
Such an embarrassing scene made her face turn red with embarrassment.
As a last resort, Qingdeng could only carry her on his back, like a koala carrying a cub, on his back against the tree.
After seeing the left wing of the Tenchu ​​Group begin to collapse, Sanako suggested to Ayoto:
"Tachibana-kun, do you want to go out into battle?"
Qingdeng shook his head:
"No, it's not the time yet."
After a while, the right wing of the Tenchu ​​group also began to collapse, and Sanako suggested to Qingto again:
"Tachibana-kun, is it time to go into battle?"
Qingdeng shook his head again:
"No, wait a moment."
Qingden shook his head repeatedly, causing Sanako to ask in reply:
"Tachibana-kun, when exactly do we have to wait until we attack?"
Qingdeng replied calmly:
"The rebels on the left and right wings are just a group of insignificant pawns."
"Even if we kill them all, there will be no benefit."
"If you want to kill, kill more valuable targets."
"My goal has been decided a long time ago."
As he spoke, Qingdeng raised his gaze and stared straight at the large flag with "Ling Shi Seal" painted on the battlefield of the Chinese army.
Sanako immediately understood Qingden's intention and stopped making any sound.
As soon as the Tenchu ​​team arrived here, Qingdeng immediately issued an attack order.
Since it was an encounter, Qingdeng certainly didn't know the formation of the Tenchu ​​group.
However, just when the battle was about to begin, Qingdeng suddenly discovered that the central army of the Tianzhu Group was flying the "Ling Shi Seal" flag.
The Ryoshi Seal... This is the flag seal of Totsukawa Goshi Corps!
After seeing this flag, Seito immediately understood: the Totsukawa Goshi Corps is in the middle army!
In an instant, he determined his goal.
As Qingteng said just now, those so-called "respecting people with lofty ideals" are simply insignificant.
Whether they were dead or alive, Qingden felt that it didn't matter from the bottom of his heart.
However, this is not the case for Totsugawa's Roshi Corps.
Qingdeng had long been unhappy with this semi-independent militia.
Due to complex historical reasons, Totsugawa has always been a semi-independent administrative region, and the villagers within its territory are a group of unruly people.
They only respected the imperial court and did not listen to the orders of the shogunate, so naturally they did not take Qingteng seriously.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?
If he just lay dormant and didn't jump out to cause trouble, then Qingdeng would just endure it.
This time, these guys actually openly fought against him!
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
If we bypass them this time, who can guarantee that they won't cause trouble next time?
No matter what, this is an armed force with nearly a thousand people and cannot be ignored.
This hidden danger that occurs from time to time must be eliminated as soon as possible!
There can only be one top military commander in the Gyeonggi region! That’s me, Orange Green Den Shengqing!
As a result, Qingteng made up his mind - the primary goal of this battle is to completely annihilate Totsugawa's Roshi Corps!
Take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate this unstable factor!
If all the 960 villagers gathered here die, Totsugawa will not be able to recover for at least the next 10 years!
Compared with this, all other targets - including the head of Yoshimura Torataro - have to take a back seat.
Anyway, Yoshimura Tontaro and others are just a bunch of clowns, killing them is easy.
Therefore, Qingteng was completely unmoved by the collapse of the left and right wings of the Tenchu ​​Group.
His eyes were always fixed on the Chinese battlefield.
It wasn't until the Shinsengumi's left, center, and right armies completed the encirclement of the Roshi Corps and the latter finally began to collapse that Aomori finally jumped down from the tree and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, draw your swords and mount your horses!"
As soon as this order was issued, the soldiers of the 7th and 10th divisions in the woods scrambled to get on their horses.
At the same time, the sound of "匌", "匌", "匌" drawing a sword startled countless birds.
As the times change, the functions of the cavalry are constantly changing.
For example, in China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because the stirrup had not yet been invented, the main function of the cavalry was to conduct reconnaissance and deliver orders.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the advent of stirrups and the rapid development of metallurgical technology, heavy cavalry began to dominate the battlefield.
Nowadays, firearms have become the absolute king on the battlefield.
In the age of firearms, the cavalry no longer needed to bear the heavy responsibility of breaking up the enemy's situation. Its main responsibility became to detect the enemy's situation and harvest the remnants of the enemy.
Therefore, its main battle weapon is no longer a cumbersome spear, but a more flexible sword.
According to Seito's plan, when a stable channel for purchasing firearms is found in the future, the Shinsengumi will be transformed into a firearms unit.
In this case, the cavalry unit should be built according to the standards of the firearms unit.
There are two main types of weapons used by cavalry units in Western countries today.
One is a riding sword and the other is a saber.
In horse fighting, whether it is better to use a sword or a saber—this question has aroused widespread discussion in the Western world.
In this regard, Qingdeng's personal opinion is the saber.
Compared with a straight sword, a curved blade is easier to chop.
