I formed the strongest swordsman group

Chapter 679 The emperor’s personal army...that’s it? 【4300】

As soon as Toshiro Maki finished speaking, someone put on a solemn expression and echoed in an extremely affectionate tone:

"Sir General, I don't know the status of the Shinsengumi."

"But I know that the Xiao surname group possesses a powerful combat capability that surpasses all other troops."

"We swear to defeat the world and destroy all enemies!"

This person's name is Suzuki Imaro, and he is the leader of the fourth division of the small surname group.

Immediately afterwards, another person interrupted:

"General, please rest assured!"

"Our team will never let you down!"

"Even if a million troops invade! Even if the rest of the army is defeated, we have full confidence in turning the tide!"

The large division troops currently stationed in Kyoto are the first division and the third division.

The person who spoke was none other than Yamaki Yunro, the leader of the first division of the big division.

Compared to Toshiro Maki and Imaro Suzuki, Yunro Yamaki made no secret of his malice toward the Shinsengumi.

If the first two people are just telling the truth, then he is telling the truth!

What does it mean "even if the rest of the imperial army has been destroyed?"

The shogunate troops currently stationed in Kyoto, apart from the Daiban-gumi, are the only Shinsengumi!

Qingden glanced at the people who had just spoken, and then sneered silently.

Seito was not surprised by the group's remarks - he had long expected that the Shinsengumi would be ostracized by the soldiers of the "Third Division".

The "Third Division" headed by the Xiao surname group is the personal guard of General Tokugawa.

In other words, they are the "emperor's own troops."

He has been honored by the world, has a high status, and enjoys preferential treatment that ordinary people can't even imagine.

They have always regarded themselves as "the samurai among samurai" and "the last and strongest bastion of the Tokugawa shoguns".

And now...a brand new army suddenly appeared.

Not only does it have a very prestigious name as the "New Selection", but anyone with a brain can see at a glance: Tokugawa Iemo obviously favors this new unit and has high hopes for it.

In addition, this new unit also stole the show in the recent "Iga Offensive and Defense Battle", and this gave the "Third Division" a heavy blow.

The shogunate has only so many resources in total.

If one party eats one more bite, the other party will have to eat one less bite.

Will the shogunate tighten its investment in the "Sanbanzu" and instead pour resources into the Shinsengumi? Will the "Third Division" be disbanded... These questions are like the sword of Damocles, hovering over the heads of the "Third Division" soldiers, making them unable to eat or sleep.

Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents.

In this way, the soldiers of the "Third Division" naturally harbor great malice towards the Shinsengumi.

Facing the "enthusiastic performance" of Yamaki Yunro and others, Tokugawa Iemo remained calm and only said silently:

"Yamaki-kun, it seems that you are very confident in the combat effectiveness of your troops."

Yamaki Yunro asserted without hesitation:

"That's natural!"

"General, I am definitely not boasting!"

"In such troubled times, Fuutarou and I's blood is on fire!"

Futaro Sasaki - leader of the third division of the big division.

"From temples to the marketplace, there are always people criticizing the 'Three Bands', saying that the 'Three Bands' have become a vulnerable rabble."

"It is true that years of peaceful life have indeed caused a large number of soldiers to lose their fighting spirit and turn into zombies who are well-fed all day long and only know how to eat, drink and have fun."

"I, Yamaki Yunro, have no other abilities! I can only show my loyalty to the shogunate by the sun and the moon!"

"The rampant rebellious ministers and traitors, the arrogance of the Western Yi, and the ministers who make irresponsible remarks about the country's affairs. Faced with all this chaos, my chest has long been filled with resentment!"

"Fuutarou feels the same way as me!"

"Full of loneliness and anger, nowhere to show it!"

"Therefore, after we led the troops to garrison in Kyoto, there was not a day when we did not encourage ourselves, and there was not a day when we did not work hard at night! There was not a day when we did not work hard to intensify our troop training!"

"Through our unremitting efforts, we have successfully eliminated a large number of shortcomings in the army! We have rebuilt the morale of the army! Changed the decadent appearance of the soldiers in the past! Greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army!"

"Today, Fuutarou and I's troops have a completely new look, and they will definitely live up to expectations!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasaki Fuutarou said loudly:

"Yes! Sir General, Yun Lang and I will definitely wipe out all invading enemies! As long as we are in Kyoto, Kyoto will become an impregnable 'unbreakable fortress'!"

Then, as if they had agreed in advance, Yamaki Yunro and Sasaki Fuutarou both squinted their eyes and cast provocative looks at Aoto.

In an instant, Tokugawa Iemo, Matsudaira Yoshiho, Tianzhangin, and the generals of the Xiao surname group all looked shocked.

Even Qingdeng couldn't help but be startled.

Judging from the other party's expression and tone, they didn't seem to be bluffing.

Since they dare to say such words, it means that they probably have something to rely on.

At this thought, Qingdeng thought to himself:

——Could it be said that...their troops do have some real abilities?

Because he had long expected that he would not be able to urinate in the same pot as the generals of the "Emperor's Army", Qingden had never had any contact with Yamagi Yunro and others since Shangluo.

As a result, he himself didn't know much about the actual situation of other garrison troops stationed in Beijing.

To be honest, the series of heroic words just released by Yamaki Yunro and others are not impossible to be true.

No matter what, the big fan group has always been one of the "Emperor's personal troops".

Both the attention it received and the resources it received were unmatched by other shogunate armies.

If Yamamoto Yunro and Sasaki Futaro are really determined to engage in "military reform", then it is indeed possible for their troops to be completely transformed in a very short period of time.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng felt a chill in his heart.

——As expected, you still can’t be careless... You still need to be more vigilant. Maybe there are indeed a few troops in the "Third Division" who can take the stage...

…

…

Kyoto, Dabangu camp——

After entering the camp, the first thing that broke into view was a large earthen field that could accommodate thousands of soldiers and horses circling and galloping.

From a long time ago, this area has been used as a military camp for the Daban Group.

After the washing of time and the precipitation of years, the loose land has been trampled by countless feet and hooves and has become extremely hard.

Looking around, there is almost no smooth area on the ground. It is covered with large and small pits and crisscrossing tracks. Not even the most tenacious weeds can be seen.

Qingdeng and others inspected the officers and soldiers of the large division stationed in Beijing - that is, the first and third divisions of the large division at this training ground.

Led by Tokugawa Iemo, everyone stood still on the observation deck.

Qingdeng has already made up his mind to "no longer take it lightly" and "increase the importance of the 'Third Division'".

So, he secretly cheered up, held his breath, squinted his eyes, and did not let go of every scene and scene he saw next.

Soon enough, Yamaki Yunlang stepped forward, stood on the edge of the observation deck, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth:

"start!!!"

With the help of the breeze, in just a blink of an eye, his voice spread far away, filling every corner of the training ground.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

First there was a small sound.

Immediately afterwards, the sound continued to get louder and closer - a group of soldiers rushed out of the camp at the rear, ran into the training ground, and ran towards the observation tower.

Roughly speaking, there are about 200 people.

After a while, they were arranged into uneven and twisted rows under the observation deck, and then combined into a square array that could only barely have a shape.

The distance from the camp to the training ground is only more than 300 meters at most.

The soldiers of the big group ran a distance of more than 300 meters and arranged themselves into a satisfactory square formation - the total time: 4 minutes.

Their phalanx was already very uneven, and ended up being "shaky". At first glance, it looked like a wheat field blown by the wind.

Take a closer look - it turns out that the soldiers in the formation have been moving randomly.

Or wave your hands, shake your feet, shrug your shoulders, or stretch.

After going back and forth, the entire phalanx looked more messy and scattered.

At this time, Yamaki Yunlang shouted again:

"Line the geese in formation!"

Suddenly, the two big drums placed on both sides of the observation deck began to beat together.

The continuous drum sounds of "dong dong", "dong dong" and "dong dong" roared majestically and passionately, like muffled thunder, one sound higher than the other, one after another.

The drums are loud and powerful. However...the movements of the soldiers below the observation tower were subtly misaligned with the sound of the drums.

They unfolded the battle formation bit by bit with unhurried movements.

The phalanx split into two neat halves in the middle and spread out horizontally, with one half going to the left and the other half running to the right.

About a minute later, the square formation turned into a "V"-shaped military formation.

Judging from the shape, this is indeed a classic battle formation - the Flying Geese Formation.

"Change the formation! Form a spear formation!"

Still moving slowly... The spearmen holding three guns stepped forward, inserted the bottom of the gun shaft into the ground, and pointed the tip of the gun diagonally at the sky.

"Cavalry attacks!"

Ta-ta-ta, tap-ta-ta, tap-ta-ta-ta... the rapid sound of hoofbeats sounded from behind the observation tower.

About thirty cavalrymen broke into the training ground from the left and right sides.

The battle formation they listed was a tried-and-tested offensive formation: the wedge formation.

To be honest, Qingdeng almost didn't recognize that this was a wedge formation...

Logically speaking, a normal wedge-shaped array should be "taper toward the head."

However, the wedge formations Qingdeng saw were not like this. Their thicknesses were distributed very unevenly, and there was a strange phenomenon where the "wedge tip" was as thick as the "wedge body".

Not only that, but the distance control between the cavalry is also very problematic.

Some people were so close that each other's thighs were almost touching.

Some people were so far away that the gap between them was so big that a truck could be missed.

However, the horses under their crotches are quite good, they are tall and have quite a lot of fat on them.

"Cavalry! Start attacking!"

The cavalrymen rushed towards the corner of the training ground - a large number of targets had been set up in advance.

The targets are scarecrows.

In order to be close to actual combat, these scarecrows are made into the height and shape of normal people, and their bodies are filled with hay to restore the density of the human body to the greatest extent.

The cavalrymen raised their knives high and attacked the group of "scarecrows" menacingly.

Before the time comes, the "battle situation" comes to a conclusion——

Either he failed to grasp the distance between himself and the target, and swung the knife too early or too late.

Or even though he hit the target, he dropped the knife due to lack of skill.

Some people's knives fell to the ground.

More people's knives were directly embedded in the scarecrow's body, unable to be pulled out...

…

In this way, under the precise instructions of Yamaki Yunro, the soldiers of the Daban Group demonstrated various military formations and various tactics one by one.

The entire review lasted nearly an hour.

After the review was over, Yamaki Yuro, who had shouted so hard that his voice had become hoarse, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned back, knelt on one knee, and shouted to Tokugawa Iemo word by word:

"General! The review is complete!"

As he spoke, he quietly raised his gaze and peeked at Qingdeng not far away.

"..."

Qingdeng said nothing, his eyes wide open, his cheeks full of disbelief, and his expression was dominated by strong astonishment.

Yamaki Yunro was very impressed by the appearance carved by Qingteng, and he was extremely happy.

He shouted proudly in his heart:

——Tachibana Aoden, how about it? Our elite soldiers and generals will scare you!

——You must be shocked to see such a powerful army for the first time, right?

--snort! In the final analysis, the Shinsengumi's current achievements are nothing more than annihilating Ise's bandit army.

——If it were us, we could also defeat the bandit army! And the results will be even more brilliant than those of the Shinsengumi!

"Yamaki-kun, thank you for your hard work. Get up quickly."

As soon as Tokugawa Iemo finished speaking, Aoden couldn't wait to ask Yamaki Yunro:

"Yamaki-kun, this...is your army?"

Although he didn't know why the other party asked this, Yamaki Yunro immediately answered:

"Exactly! This is our unit! These are the first team and the third team of the big team!"

"..."

Qingdeng stopped talking.

He looked at Yamagi Yunlang, and then at the soldiers under the stage.

At the same time, the look of shock on his face deepened and thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye - such changes were all seen by Yamaki Yunlang.

At this moment, Yamaki Yunro, who thought Qingto had been shocked by the eliteness of his troops, felt extremely happy! All the pores in my body seemed to be opened.

The corners of his crazily raised mouth could hardly be pressed down!

After all, Qingdeng was really shocked now.

The look of astonishment he showed now was absolutely false.

It's just that... what shocked him was not the same thing as what Yamaki Yunro thought...

…

…

"..."

Qingden felt that his mind was in a mess.

I don’t know what to say…I don’t even know what expression to show…

Just when he was sorting out his thoughts, he suddenly felt a line of sight - Tianzhangyuan looked at him quietly, casting a worried look at him.

With many years of deep friendship, Qingdeng immediately understood the meaning of his eyes:

Sheng Qing, Yamaki Yunro is not exaggerating. The strength of the big team stationed in Beijing is indeed very strong. Your Shinsengumi must work harder! But don’t lose face in today’s “troop review”!
