Matsuhira Etsuba looked at Roche's nervous expression, and his heart felt as comfortable as June had drunk ice water. As a very traditional Japanese daimyo, he had an exclusionary attitude towards everything in the West.

Although he also admitted that the Western ships and cannons are very powerful, he always firmly believes that the faith in his heart is the most valuable.

"There are four such troops in my hands, namely the Qinglong, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise... and the White Tiger in front of me."

"These warriors were cultivated according to the most traditional Bushido spirit, especially the White Tiger Young Army, who are the most elite. Once they are selected, they will go to the Rising Hall to be students and learn various skills..."

"Risinguan teaches pure Zhu Xi's theory, that is, Zhu Xi's theory of the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as martial arts, Chinese knowledge, mathematics, history, geography, science, foreign languages...Risinguan's educational policy is very strict, and even the walking posture of warriors in the army must be taught..."

When talking about his pride, Song Ping Rongbao would talk endlessly. There were countless ministers, Roche, with embarrassing eyes. After the White Tiger Young Army began to clean up the battlefield and harvest the heads, French chief instructor Xie Duowan spoke.

"Barial... It's just a group of backward samurai in the Middle Ages, who actually reaped heads. Modern warfare emphasizes efficiency and collective strength. The samurai's set is no longer feasible..."

"You have also seen the military training in Ruo Song City. The power of dense muskets is not something that can be defeated by armor and too swords. The power of artillery is even more unimaginable. I really don't know the little confidence you came from..."

Xie Duoman's ridicule made Matsuhira Etsubata red. He unconsciously pinched the sword on his waist, but in the end he still held back "Yes, the acting outside Ruomatsu Castle was really shocking, the sound of cannons was like thunder, gunshots were like rain, and the dense firepower made Hachiman afraid..."

"However, I insist that the 'heart' is the key to winning on the battlefield. We do not have artillery and foreign guns, but we can buy it and build it in the future. However, the heart of a warrior cannot be lost. In the face of life and death, we can fight forward bravely, even if we are outnumbered, we have no fear."

"Please remember that it is always the heart that commands external things, not external things that influence people's hearts..."

Bah...Xie Duowan spitted into the sea in one mouthful of water, "Heart, I have heard too many such mysterious things in Japan. Aren't you just talking about courage and loyalty? I admit it is useful, but in the future, this ancient spirit will become less and less useful..."

"Do you know what war mobilization is? Do you know what national strength is? Explosive technology is becoming more and more developed, and the power of artillery is increasing exponentially. How many years will it take for you to train a warrior, and how many days will it take for you to produce a cannon."

"When you have carefully trained warriors for several years and were killed by shells made by a worker in several hours, what else do you want to say?"

"Strength is the most respectful, and this is eternal and unchanging, and the future war is firepower, firepower, firepower."

Matsuhira Tomosa closed his eyes in pain. He didn't know how to refute the theory of French instructors. Wars in Europe have become a sophisticated science, but wars in East Asia still belong to the category of philosophy.

"No, no, no...I admit that your words make sense, but I still stick to my point of view. No matter when the war develops, the courageous heart cannot be lost, and absolutely cannot be lost... That is the soul of a strong country."

The White Tiger Youth Team had already cleaned the battlefield at this time. After statistics, the heads were piled into a pyramid-shaped Jingguan at the main entrance of Jie Town. This is the most effective way to shock the people of Jie Town.

"Leave 500 soldiers to defend Jecho, and the rest of the army was dispatched to head towards Osaka Castle..." Xie Duoman was the actual commander, while Matsuhei Yotsuba was just a nominal commander, so the order was still issued by him.

The new army with a total of 10,000 Western-style equipment began to line up and walk out of Jie Town. With countless terrifying eyes, everyone realized the end of the Anti-Shu Army.

"Look at this rigorous military formation, how come it is so uniform, look... Westerners, there are Western instructors in every team, no wonder..."

The crowd was talking and watching the army leave the city and walk northwest. It takes half a day forty kilometers to arrive. At this speed, it can reach Osaka Castle before it gets dark.

The Tokugawa family's ninja came out in full swing, covering the mountains, forests and farms on the marching roads. The sea fleet continued to head north. The latest ammunition, food and medicine supplies must be delivered to Osaka Castle as soon as possible, and the decisive battle is about to begin.

Tokugawa Keiki is now hiding in Osaka Castle. Okanoi Masaki knelt in front of the general and said excitedly, "The Mizuho Hidden Ghost sent the latest news. Our new army has already controlled Jetcho. The news has not leaked. The new army can enter the battle at 4 pm at the latest..."

"Nani." Tokugawa Kyoki stood up excitedly, "It's a big decisive battle. Finally, by this time, many people died here meaninglessly, how many lives have been buried in this city... It's over, everything is over."

"Send the order to let the Aizu family prepare 200 dead soldiers, and our Tokugawa family prepares 200 dead soldiers. We will go out of the city to fight a counterattack. We must anger the enemy... we must make them attack us wildly and make their entire army move."

"Hai..." Masashi Okawa no Yoshik kowtowed and turned around and left.

It is over 10 o'clock in the morning, and the sky is cloudless. The sunny days for many consecutive days have made the earth dry and tough. This is really a good day for the warriors to die.

The anti-scene coalition continued to continue its usual tactics, artillery bombing, musket suppression, warrior ninja climbed the city, and foot-light attacks the gate... round after round of attacks scattered corpses all over the ground.

Just as a group of samurai was preparing to attack the Osaka Castle Gate, something unexpected happened. The Osaka Castle Gate actually opened itself. The samurai giant suddenly rushed into the door with samurai and fell to the ground. In exchange for a group of samurai slashing around, and soon dismembered them.

Teams of samurai ghosts shouted and killed out of the city. The unprepared coalition soldiers were caught off guard. No one expected that the Tokugawa army would not be a turtle today.

The continuous samurai killed the tired coalition soldiers, and then a group of musketeers rushed out of Osaka Castle, assembled outside the city gate, forming a team of square formations and pressed up to the coalition camp.

Takamori Saigo was so shocked that he jumped up, "Nani, is the Tokugawa army going to fight with us? Hahaha... Madman, it's really a madman, it's great..."

"Takasugi Shinsaku... Nakaoka Shintaro... immediately came out and formed a musket shooting array outside the camp... Kasumi Kurito, Takenaka Inoue organized a spear team to protect the flank..."

One after another, the coalition camp rushed out of a crowd and soon confronted the Tokugawa army in front of the position. The imported Western muskets were fired and white smoke rose up, and a retro line-up battle began.

Some people kept falling down, and people kept adding in. The sound of gunfire like fried beans and the howling of the injured was endless. The two sides invested 6,000 troops in this field battle.

I don’t know how fierce the Tokugawa family was. The three thousand musketeers actually shot while shooting in the rain of bullets. Soon the distance between the two sides reached a distance of fifty meters.

There was no need to aim at such a short distance. Both sides just loaded the bullets silently and fired, then loaded the bullets and fired. When the bloody smelled so strong, the main gunman of Huashan Liyuan was ordered to start attacking.

This was originally a tentative attack. If you succeed, you will form a sickle-shaped formation, and then the Tokugawa army will be attacked on both sides. It doesn't matter if the attack is not successful. I believe that with the rich experience of Karayama Rikien, the formation will not collapse.

But something unexpected happened. When the original formation of Kasuyama Kurigen was about 15 meters, a group of samurai who were raising energy suddenly rushed out from behind the Tokugawa army, with a total of 400 people.

"Duck gives it to...onboard, onboard..." Four hundred warriors ran faster than wild donkeys. Judging from their steady efforts, they knew that these four hundred warriors were all masters of kendo.

"It's broken, let Huashan Riyuan calm down and retreat... he can't stand it." Takasaki Saigo was shocked.

"The Xuanwu Team...The Suzaku Team...Fight to the death."

"Tokugawa's team... fight to the death."

The sharp sword in the middle of the roar easily cut off the bamboo spear. The rolling warrior cut off countless enemies' calves with one knife. The spear of Huashan Riyuan was immediately torn to pieces.

These four hundred warriors are definitely the elite among the elite. Their physical strength, swordsmanship, and battlefield experience are not comparable. They disrupt the enemy's formation with just one charge.

Soon, they began to defeat, and these warriors cling to the defeated soldiers and used the deserter's bodies as shields to avoid countless attacks by the musket team.

In order to cooperate with the samurai's charge, the remaining Tokugawa family musketeers moved forward again, and the shooting distance between the two sides was only thirty meters.

The only task of the musketeers now is to cover the warriors' rushing forward. Their bullet rains always protect the warriors' wings, and they ignore the bullet rains that shot at them.

"Breakthrough, our samurai finally broke through..." Tokugawa Keiki put down his telescope and said excitedly, "Roar in and tore the Imperial Banner to pieces. As long as you destroy the military flag given by the Emperor, the enemy will be crazy, and they will mobilize the entire army to launch an attack on Osaka Castle..."

"I want to exhaust you to death. I want to make you covered in bruises. When the new army arrives on the battlefield, I think you are so tired that you can't run anymore. You will be very tired, thirsty, and hungry... How much more can you have to do with your combat power?"

"Hahaha... The Tokugawa family's martial arts fortune has not been cut off, we still have a chance."
