Chapitre 186: Tricky

The cavalrymen charged forth, their swords held high, roaring at the top of their lungs. They knew some of them would die – the enemy held muskets. But their miscalculation lay in just how many would fall.

Behind them a mass of foot soldiers ran too. Even just this part of the army dwarfed the Red Feather.

The cavalry drew closer and closer, but still no shots were fired.

"Hold!" Jikouji ordered continually. It was up to him to give the perfect moment to fire. Their commander had ordered something difficult – that they only use one volley on these cavalrymen. As such, the single volley that they could fire had to be maximally effective, otherwise they still might lose men to their charge.
