.At dusk this day, the first one in the shogunate army was the "meritorious troops" under the command of Ida Masatoshi.

Even in this country of warriors whose military level has long been declining, they are still a very distinctive force. Specifically, they are mainly elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and poor, with no training. The vast majority of people are empty-handed or resistant to wooden sticks than those with decent weapons, and more than half of the soldiers are old men over 60 years old. As for their commander, Lord Ida Shin-shin, he is an Alzheimer's disease patient who is over 80 years old, speaks in the air, walks trembling, and has abnormal thinking. These deteriorating people are obviously beaten out by the Ida family of the Sendai vassal family to make up for the numbers. They are not even qualified to be cannon fodder. No matter how you look, they seem to be the Sendai vassal being thrown away."

In fact, this team of elderly beggars led by Alzheimer's patients did not jump into the sea or fall into the ravine on the way, but was able to travel thousands of miles from the Xiantai Fan to the completion area of ​​Changzhou. This is already a miracle.

For such teams that are not qualified to be cannon fodder, the shogunate naturally does not want to waste white rice and military pay on them.

So, the Alzheimer's patient, Lord Ida Masahin, had just arrived at the front line with his troops. Shin-kuo Shin-ku Mitsui Ginji personally went over to mourn and encourage him, and then ordered them to attack the defensive positions of the Changzhou rebels alone. From the beginning, they did not expect them to achieve any results. Even if they were mutiny and disintegrated halfway, it would be a pity if the enemy could consume some bullets for this, they would have made a profit.

But Dairen is Daifu. These guys who were thrown away by the Sendai vassal as waste, just moved to the front line and caught up with Admiral Perry commanding the Far East Fleet of the Naseril Empire to shell out Maguan, breaking the backbone of the gang. He also sent landing troops to directly attack the rebel base camp. So the rebels of the Changshu vassal stranded on the front battlefield completely collapsed for a moment, and they surrendered without fighting, allowing the old and weak Ida Masashimi to easily get a big advantage. When Mitsui Ginji of Hiroshima Base Camp received the news, Ida Masashi was already using it.

As the commander of the Shogunate War Zone, he accepted the "repentance" of the powerful families of the Choshu clans. He also gave them a "safeguarding case and pardon documents. It has come to this point, no matter how well Mitsui Ginji was in mind, he could only pinch his nose and commend Ida Masahin and other Sendai clan officers, setting them up as the current propaganda typical examples of the Shogunate. Then, the depressed Lord Shi, led his new shogunate army and the main force of the vassal coalition forces to advance rapidly, and began to attack the last remnant rebels who were trapped in Korin Temple for several days.

This was originally intended to revive the direct troops of the Shogunate. They looked at each other again, but they did not expect that they would fail repeatedly and suffer heavy casualties. In the end, they could not stand up. Mitsui Ginji could only change the attack tactic to a long-term siege, leaving a few unlucky people to see the situation. He led a large army to retreat back to Kyoto in a dilemma, and also brought the more than a thousand old, weak and sick who were sent by the Sendai vassal to make up the number. Then he caught up with the Maku Alliance responded to the imperial call to uprising in Kyoto, and plunged into the overwhelming war.

Although it has been publicized to the outside world as an unparalleled hero on the battlefield, the equipment and training level of the old, weak, sick and disabled team of the Sendai Fan team have not yet improved or improved at all. Therefore, Mitsui Ginji never used their idea of ​​participating in the battle from beginning to end. In order to avoid these guys who were seriously unqualified as cannon fodder suddenly popped up and caused chaos, the headquarters beat them to the rear early, nominally guarding the road to the brigade city. In fact, they were driven out of the battlefield and used to sit on the bench as a "10,000-year substitute".

So, they survived the afternoon offensive failure” but this was only temporary.

Because another equally terrible enemy has already set its sights on this soft persimmon that cannot be softer.

Although it was summer with long days and short nights, a short thunderstorm suddenly fell in the afternoon, not only did it extinguish the remaining fire in Kyoto City, but the clouds followed, and the light suddenly dimmed, making the scenery slightly blurry.

Behind the shogunate army, the gathering place of the Sendai reinforcements, these "10,000-year substitute team members. After watching the fun for a day, they still had not received the order to retreat, so they were still looking for a place to hide from the rain and stay. Although this place is outside the city, it is a prosperous commercial road after all, and there are many houses on both sides of the avenue. Any officer with a little status can basically be recruited to move into private houses, and only the soldiers on the bottom floor have to build a not-so-durable tarpaulin tent.

Just as they gathered in an unorderly manner in various places to shelter from rain, sneering at the shameful performance of their shogunate colleagues today, and boasting about their "first, bright record" in the battlefield of the rebellion in the Choshu Fan, a faint sound of horse hooves and several extremely unknown long horns suddenly sounded on the avenue not far away.

Then, when these Sendai soldiers curiously poked their heads out of the houses or tents and tried to observe the movements outside, they saw countless sharp blades reflecting lights, and heard a series of loud shouts of killing Huan in foreign languages!

About one hundred and fifty exotic knights wearing light leather armor, holding sharp short spears or sabers in their hands, resolutely broke through the sparse rain curtain that had not stopped, and under the guidance of the horn of the ox, they came from behind the soldiers of the Sendai vassal in a fierce manner!

They were not from the inhabitants of this Far East island country, nor were they close to the colonists of the Feren continent in Erdaohai, but the Tukan nomads who ruled the vast grasslands for generations on the Kagan across the sea to the west.

At the front end of this Tukan cavalry team, there is a Western magician wrapped in a black robe.

Facing the hawthorny raindrops and looking at the panicked enemies on both sides of the road, Ecklinn lowered his head and took a deep breath of the wet air, then pulled out his wand from his sleeve, and recited a difficult spell on the horse's back.

Behind him, more than 150 cavalrymen all leaned over and accelerated their horses and shouted for battle. These were all the aids that Eklinn managed to pull from Timur Khan when he was on his mission to the Tukan Khan not long ago as the clerk of Sammast. As early as the early days when His Majesty the Khan unified the grassland decades ago, Sammast's Dragon Witch Cult gradually began to pay attention to and invest in this potential stock. To this day, relying on the strong support of Khan, the Dragon Witch Cult has initially integrated the original shamanism on the grassland and has become the official belief of the Tukan Khanate. Its influence almost spread throughout the entire Silk Road, and is further expanding in all directions with the horse hooves of the Tukan Iron Cavalry.

Although the coup in the Tokyo Island coup initiated this time was not very much manpower and material resources, it was personally raised by Lord Samast for many years, which was related to the important tasks of the overall strategy. Therefore, the Tukan Khanate also paid great attention to this.

Although the nomads on the grassland were unable to help on a large scale due to the vast ocean, the generous Timur Khan still gave him more than 150 elite cavalrymen to Ecklinn and escorted him to the strange island country across the sea.

This is also the only reliable direct troops around him. In addition, there are only a group of temporary allies who are determined and even have ulterior motives. Therefore, before this, Ecklinn always cherished this strange army and arranged for them to hide in a royal manor outside Kyoto. No matter how bad the situation worsens, he would not put it on the battlefield and easily consumed it. He also hoped to rely on these dead soldiers to break through and escape.

But at this time when the victory was decided, Ecklinn finally couldn't help but decide to let them show their skills.

This is not only due to the confidence that one can do military affairs, but also a warning to unreliable allies. If one is a helper with only money but no soldiers, he will definitely be regarded as a sucker and slaughtered." In the talks in recent days, such bad signs have already appeared.

The financial aid and diplomatic alliance that our side can provide are now deployed, and it is time to show the force of the Dragon Witch Cult!

Only the strong force of the naked can truly intimidate the Japanese warriors who have long lost their martial arts strategy but are still unruly!

Let the cowards in front of you become the first stepping stone on your meritorious deeds!

All sprints! Crush over them! Black!"

,Changshengtian, uh, it's wrong. Shenlong guarantees it! Wula".

The sound of the hooves of the Tukan Iron Cavalry, like thunder, smashed the tranquility under the rain curtain.

But the Sendai Army, which was blocking them at this moment, was completely at a loss.

Although he had a duty to guard the back road in name, except for the Lord Ida Junshi who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and was immersed in the fantasy of heroes, these Sendai soldiers were actually very clear that they were beaten out to sit on the bench. In addition, their equipment and quality were really poor, and the officers were all laymen who lacked basic military knowledge. This army was not even assigned scouts and posts, so they were all retracted into houses or tents to rest, and they did not lay any obstacles on the road and on the edge of the camp."

It was not until the Tukan Iron Cavalry touched the side that these "battlefield tour groups" realized that the situation was not good, but everything was too late.

Fear! Hell, if I had known this, Yu Liang would have spent a spell on it.”

According to the practice of cavalry assault in the Feren Continent, Ecklinn had just entered the attack range, and he released a long-established fear technique, trying to shake the fighting will of the enemy in front of him, so as not to form a long spear formation to block the attack. Although this road is a major traffic route, it is only a dozen feet wide. Moreover, it is a small town that provides food and accommodation services for business travelers. There is no place to detour on both sides of the road.

Therefore, if more than ten enemies line up a long spear array in the middle of the road, or even just seize the time to drag out a few pieces to block the road, this small army of Ecklinn will be in big trouble.

He has neither the time nor the capital to fight here, fighting an unprofitable war of attrition.

However, before Ecklin's fear technique was released, his chin almost fell to the ground. And almost caused the spell to retaliate due to excessive shock. As soon as he saw so many alien cavalry holding their shiny sabers, they shouted and rushed in. Not only were they blocked the silly hats on the nearby avenues, they slipped faster than him casting the spells, but they retreated into the house without even hitting them. Even far beyond his spell attack range, those who walked out of the house or tent and stood up to the street and looked up from a distance, turned around and fled without anyone's face.

The long-standing charge was empty. The cavalry couldn't help but stretched out their hands and tightened the reins in surprise, and gradually slowed down their horses. They looked up and looked around. Along the sides of the avenue, there was no one who dared to follow the sight of Erzhi Linen. In front of them, it seemed like the city management team was in the fire of the Zhenzhang Market. Apart from the several rotten straw sandals, broken wooden clogs, rag strips and old swords scattered on the ground, it was really empty!

Oh, no, someone stood up to stop it." Acklinn frowned slightly, squinted his eyes, and looked at the "warrior" in front of him. In the mess and chaos everywhere, he saw an old man with a hunched body, wearing a heavy and gorgeous ancient armor, and was trembling with a samurai sword standing in the middle of the road with difficulty.

But behind this old general, there was no soldier and soldier to accompany him, and there was not even a personal guard who resisted the banner.

Could it be that this person is a legendary martial arts master, or is the enemy setting up ambush nearby?

Seeing this strange situation, Ecklinn's heart was full of doubts for a moment, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to signal the troops to stop moving forward. At the same time, he looked up at the nearby environment, but then he felt more and more confused.

The two rows of houses standing along the street were now thrown far behind them. On both sides of the road under their feet, there was only a flat and empty field, and several ragged tents that had been knocked over and trampled by the defeated soldiers. There was no place to hide the soldiers who wanted to ambush them.

Even though he tried his best to scan through the sparse rain curtain, Ecklin only found a few defeated soldiers who were unable to escape in the distant fields and were lying in the mud. In order to confirm that all this was not an illusion created by magic, he also quietly cast a targeted spell. The real vision, and everything turned out to be as usual.

Moreover, through several other detection magic and his own experience, the old man in front of him neither had the ability to cast any spells nor had the muscles to reach. On the contrary, it was obvious that the traces of a series of chronic diseases such as asthma, gout, and osteoporosis could be seen.

Then the problem arises. Since he has no backup plan and is just an ordinary sick man, why should he stand here and block the way of hundreds of cavalrymen alone? Could it be that this old man is really suffering from Alzheimer's disease?

Acklinn was still in the same place and thought, but the other party gave the answer.     The old man slowly pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife, barely supporting his body, then twisted his beard with his left hand, then suddenly stretched forward, pointing to the opposite Tukan cavalry and shouting angrily.

"You are ignorant barbarians! The Sendai basilica coastal defense is here to follow the righteous faith of Ida. Who will fight with me?!"

A shout and scolding with a strong local accent of Aoyu, echoing lonely in the deserted wilderness. The effect made Akelin, the only person present who knew Japanese language, petrified instantly. It turned out that this live treasure was really suffering from Alzheimer's disease!

It's all the time now, and I still want to play a single fight with the Knights? I'm afraid this person has been poisoned by the legend of ancient heroes!

At this moment, the Dragon Witch Cult Special Envoy could not help but feel ashamed of his suspicion just now.

In order to cover up this extremely embarrassing shame, Ecklinn quickly raised his whip with a flushed face, pointed at the Alzheimer's warrior who was not alive in front of him, and roared in a high tone. "Roar directly over! Stand the old madman who was blocking the way!"

In early July of the third year of Renxiao, the imperial court raised troops in Kyoto and the shogunate defeated the attack. He had to retreat to the countryside of Beijing.

In the evening of that day, the court secretly sent more than 150 Iron Cavalry from Tukan that floated across the sea, and detoured to the rear of the enemy's formation, and raided the shogunate camp in the rain.

At that time, the 1,000 soldiers of the Sendai vassal were ordered to guard the retreat of the shogunate army, but they first neglected to prevent the situation, and then collapsed without fighting.

Only the war hero who pursued the coastal defense of the Sendai vassal state of Aozhou, the war hero who suppressed the rebellion in Changzhou, and the old and strong Lord Ida Zhengxin, resolutely drew his sword and resisted the enemy alone when all the personal guards fled. Unfortunately, he was killed at the age of 76.

According to several witnesses who did not want to be named, the army fled in panic and fled, and no one dared to face the enemy's cavalry and swords. Lord Ida Zhengxin was not afraid. Although there were only one person and one sword, he still stood in the way, and he was yelling at the beginning and shouting to the enemy's enemy's angrily. "However, the disparity between the few people was widespread. Although the enemy's swordsmanship was so skillful, he was still knocked to the air about fifteen feet high by the enemy cavalry on the spot, and fell to the ground and died of blood. Then he was trampled by at least seventy horses, and even the body was crushed into meat paste, and he could hardly pretend to be brilliant afterwards.

In order to inspire morale, the shogunate set up a public memorial for it after the war and told the Kanto countries to commend it. When the Sendai vassal heard about it, it also set up a temple for the elder Ida Zhengxin to worship it, posthumously named him the "Sendai Daming God." In order to protect his hometown in the spirit of heaven, many warriors were produced from generation to generation.

Edo City then rumored and said:

Kanto athletes are all cowardly,

The Aoyu soldiers fled together.

Where is the soul of the warrior now?

A true hero at seventy horses!

This poem is widely circulated and well-known to all the country, so Ida Zhengxin was praised as the "God of Seventy Horses"

Just as this "Seventy Horse God, who embarked on the road to ascending to heaven and becoming a god, gathered outside Kyoto and was at a loss, the last main force of the shogunate army, who was at a loss, finally ushered in the destruction of Shi Xuan.

The catastrophe that enveloped the entire ancient city of Kyoto also came.
