I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 932: The "Biochemical Force" at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate! [4500]

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed subtly.

A bunch of stunned and surprised glances were wandering in the air.

Decisive Battle Drift...Everyone present at the scene had a certain understanding of this thing - that was why they were revealing expressions of fear and trepidation at this moment.

Omura Masujiro's face changed slightly, and his pupils shrank slightly:

"...Mr. Takasugi, are you sure? Are you going to use our trump card so soon?"

Takasugi Shinsaku said slowly with an expressionless face:

"Honestly, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to touch such dangerous things."

"But the thing is, we don't have a choice now, do we?"

Omura Masujiro pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The combat power and advancement speed of the Shinsengumi not only surprised him as a military advisor, but also surprised Takasugi Shinsaku, the general commander.

Compared with Omura Masujiro, Takasugi Shinsaku is undoubtedly a "conservative".

He never looked down on the Shinsengumi, and his assessment of the battle situation was far less optimistic than that of Omura Masujiro.

However, the war situation deteriorated faster than expected!
Masujiro Omura believed that the "high wall" on the southern battlefield could last at least two days - he was not so optimistic, but he felt that the "high wall" could at least last one day.

But in the end... the Shinsengumi broke through the "high wall" in less than 2 hours, leaving everyone slapped in the face.

Taking advantage of the moment when Omura Masujiro remained silent, Takasugi Shinsaku continued in a solemn tone:

"I'm sure you all know that I don't like the Fazhu Party."

"But no matter what we think in our hearts, it cannot change the fact that we are now allies with the Fazhu Party!"

"We are facing a powerful enemy, but we are fighting among ourselves. How can this be disgraceful?"

Having said this, he deliberately raised his eyes and glared at the people who had just criticized Shuten-doji.

"It is true that their progress is not good. They are hindered by the unity of thousands of people."

"But how good is our situation?"

"Only one day has passed, and the Shinsengumi is almost upon us!"

“Now is not the time to point fingers.”

"At this critical moment, how can we let our emotions get the better of us?"

"Katsura-kun and his men are fighting hard in Kanto... Whether they can capture Edo will determine the success or failure of this battle."

"To put it bluntly, as long as they can take over Edo and destroy the Edo Shogunate, it will be worth it even if we all die!"

“This is my realization.”

"If I can stop the Shinsengumi and buy enough time for Katsura-kun and the others, I will do it even if I have to take poison!"

In the Kiheitai, Takasugi Shinsaku's position and authority are unshakable.

Seeing the general make such a firm statement, the eyes and expressions of the people present gradually changed - like wolves, their eyes flashed with fierceness.

Takasugi Shinsaku once again looked around the scene, then raised his head and chest, and said loudly in an unquestionable tone:

"Distribute the Decisive Battle to all soldiers! Success or failure depends on this one move!"

……

……

After the military meeting ended, people left in twos and threes.

In a short while, only Takasugi Shinsaku and Omura Masujiro were left in the tent.

"Mr. Omura, it's late, you should go to bed."

After saying this, Takasugi Shinsaku let out a long sigh, with obvious fatigue and a hint of pain between his brows.

Although he had issued a tactful "order to expel him", Omura Masujiro did not leave.

He just tilted his head and looked at the other person with complicated eyes.

"...Mr. Takasugi, everyone has dispersed. You don't have to endure it anymore."

As if a lie had been exposed, a hint of panic flashed in the depths of Takasugi Shinsaku's eyes.

However, he soon returned to normal.

"'Endure'? What does that mean? What did I endure?"

Facing Takasugi Shinsaku who was pretending to be stupid, Omura Masujiro stopped beating around the bush and said directly:

"Mr. Takasugi, have you forgotten?"

"Before I joined the army, I was a famous doctor who studied medicine since childhood."

"As early as half a month ago, I noticed that your breathing sounded different."

"So, I secretly took your pulse when you weren't paying attention."

"So... I already know about your condition."

"You don't have to pretend nothing happened in front of me."

After saying that, he took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to the other party.

Looking at the stack of papers handed over by Omura Masujiro, Takasugi Shinsaku felt a variety of emotions: surprise, sadness, and relief...

After a while, these emotions turned into a calm smile.

He smiled, took the paper, and covered his mouth and nose with it:
Then--

"Cough! Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough cough!!"

Even if you muffle your cough with paper, the sound is still terrifying.

This coughing fit lasted for a long time.

The duration was long and the intensity was severe... one could not help but wonder if he would cough out both lungs.

Looking at Takasugi Shinsaku, whose shoulders were shaking from coughing, Omura Masujiro murmured to himself:

"People with hemocough will cough uncontrollably. Mr. Takasugi, it's amazing that you can pretend to be healthy in front of others, and for such a long time..."

About 5 minutes later, Takasugi Shinsaku gradually stopped coughing and recovered.

While gasping for breath, he took out the paper from his mouth and nose - the paper was stained with glaring blood.

Looking at the bright red blood, Omura Masujiro was sad and said in a heavy tone:

"Why did you have to be the one to suffer from this disease...!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists involuntarily, and his words were filled with strong regret.

As a former doctor, Omura Masujiro naturally understood the horror of hemocough.

A person who suffered from hemocough but did not die... He had never seen such a precedent in all his years of practicing medicine.

Intense resentment dominated Omura Masujiro's expression... In comparison, Takasugi Shinsaku was much calmer.

He smiled slightly and threw the blood-stained paper in his palm into the fire pit beside him.

"Mr. Omura, there's no need to make that expression."

"Some people never smoke or drink, but die young."

“Some people smoke and drink heavily, but live to be a hundred years old.”

"Life and death are determined by fate. I have let it go. This is probably my 'fate'."

"Even if I'm unwilling, I can only accept it."

"fair enough."

"This way, I feel a lot more relaxed."

"Once you know that you are going to die soon, you can let go of many of the burdens in your heart and focus on doing what you really want to do."

Looking at Takasugi Shinsaku who looked relaxed and contented, Omura Masujiro frowned:

"...Mr. Takasugi, you look like you are about to fall into an abyss."

Takasugi Shinsaku smiled brightly:
"While I can still move, I must hurry up and make this boring world interesting!"

……

……

The next morning,

Tenma Mountain, the main camp of the Shinsengumi—

Facing the rising sun in the east, Qing Deng stood with his sword in his hand, looking at the Nangong Mountain shrouded in the glow of the sunset. Last night, he issued today's combat objectives to the entire army - within today, completely defeat the special forces! Capture Nangong Mountain!
Thanks to yesterday's fierce attack, the right wing's front line has pushed past the halfway point of Nangong Mountain.

Let's not talk about the left wing for now. The right wing has every chance of reaching the top of the mountain today! Break through the enemy's main camp!
Therefore, Qingdeng designated the right wing as the breakthrough point for "completely defeating the enemy" and took the right wing as the main attack direction.

The left wing continued to maintain the offensive, but it mainly played a diversionary role.

The lineup of generals on the right wing remained unchanged. Except for Yamanami Keisuke who was recuperating in the rear, it was still him, Soji, Saito Hajime and Niimi Nishiki who led the right wing.

On this basis, he transferred Nagakura Shinpachi and Inoue Genzaburo from the left wing, and then transferred Harada Sanosuke, "Double-Skilled Man" Asai Moriyasu, "Young Dragon" Makimura Taichi, and "Thunder Slasher" Shimada Kanichi from the main camp - the four of them had been stationed in the main camp yesterday, acting as a reserve team.

He has designated today as the "day of decisive battle". As such, there is no need to keep Harada Sanosuke and his men behind - now is the perfect time to concentrate the greatest possible strength and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
As for Boss Kiryu, he continued to stay at the main camp.

The injuries he suffered in the battle against Yamada Asaemon Katsumi have not yet healed, so it is not suitable for him to go to the front line.

Under Qing Deng's command, the right wing gathered most of the Shinsengumi's high-end combat power... This lineup is truly luxurious!

Qing Deng's determination to "end this war today" is evident!
……

……

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

There was no sign of anything—

boom!
A sudden gunshot announced the beginning of the battle!
"Follow me!"

"kill!"

"Destroy them!"

Using the frontline positions established yesterday as a springboard, the Shinsengumi soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain one after another!
Looking up, it looks like a surging wave of light green!

Qing Deng carried the Bizen long ship in his hand and took the lead.

Soon, the enemy's figure jumped into his sight - an enemy soldier raised the flintlock in his hand and shot Qingdeng in the chest.

Qing Deng watched the opponent's movements, twisted his body slightly, and avoided the bullet effortlessly.

While dodging, he raised the Bizen Nagashune in his palm - the next moment, the blade drew a cold arc in the air.

Qing Deng aimed at the opponent's chest.

He thought this trick was a sure win.

But the result——

clang!
Accompanied by the sharp sound of metal clashing, Qingdeng's knife was blocked!

At the moment when Qing Deng swung his sword, the opponent quickly threw away the flintlock in his hand, then drew the sword at his waist and raised the sword to block - although it seemed reluctant, he did block Qing Deng's attack!

Although this was just a casual attack from Qing Deng, it was not something that an ordinary person could easily take...

Although Qing Deng was surprised, as a seasoned swordsman, he quickly adjusted himself.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he pulled the Bizen ship back to his side in a lightning speed.

Sheathing the sword, accumulating strength, and chopping out - three actions done in one go!
This time, I used my real strength in the strike!

Neither the speed nor the power of the slash could be compared to the previous attack.

Although the opponent tried hard to block, he was still half a beat slow.

With a "swish", the blade of the Bizen Osafune tore open its belly, and its internal organs spilled all over the ground.

Qing Deng once again demonstrated his ability of "not caring about the whole person", and the blade only cut flesh and blood, not bones.

The opponent had only a spine left connecting his upper and lower body. After shaking a few times, he fell to the ground.

Logically speaking, after suffering such serious injuries, it would be impossible for him to get up again and he could only lie on the ground and wait to die.

The indescribable pain and the gushing blood are enough to make a person lose the ability to move.

However... next, an unbelievable scene happened!

After shaking for a few times, the opponent actually landed his feet and stood firmly, then he let out an "Ah" and pounced towards Qingdeng with his knife!

The sharp tip of the knife stabbed straight into Qingdeng's chest!

The unexpected change caused Qing Deng's expression to change slightly.

Fortunately, a change of this magnitude is not even a crisis for Qing Deng.

Talent "Super Speed ​​+7" activated!
His body moved ahead of his consciousness, taking a half step to the right to avoid the opponent's stab, and then he turned around and stabbed the opponent's throat with a knife.

At this point, the opponent finally lost the ability to resist. After twitching a few times, he completely lost his life and hung limply on Qingdeng's knife.

There are only a few bones and flesh connecting the upper and lower bodies, but he can still fight back... Such an abnormal fighting will reveals a strong and strange aura!
Qing Deng lowered his face, raised his head and looked around, and suddenly found that these enemy soldiers in strange states were everywhere on the battlefield!

"Damn it! How come these guys are so tenacious!"

"Be careful! This guy isn't dead yet!"

"How is that possible! I clearly pierced his chest!"

As soon as the battle started, the soldiers gradually discovered that the enemy soldiers in front of them were unusual!

First of all, their physical fitness has become extremely strong!

Strength, agility, concentration, reaction speed...all functions have increased significantly!

Secondly, their fighting spirit became extremely terrifying!
Even if his chest is pierced or his belly is cut open, he will not fall down easily!

So...so...so it's like he's not afraid of pain at all!
Faced with this group of opponents who suddenly changed, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even the captains suffered a great loss!

"Drink!"

Fujido Heisuke shouted, raised his sword to the upper right part, and performed a standard Kasaya Slash, hitting an enemy soldier right in the upper body.

The opponent's chest was split in two like a shell, revealing the bones and bleeding profusely.

Normally, such serious injuries would mean death.

Therefore, Fujido Heisuke no longer paid attention to the other party, withdrew his attention from him, turned his body sideways, and prepared to deal with the next enemy soldier - it was this moment of carelessness that almost cost him his life!

call!
The blade rang. The sudden sound of the sword swinging made Fujido Heisuke's face change color instantly!

There was clearly a huge gap across his chest, but the man did not fall to the ground!

Not only did he not fall to the ground, but he swung his knife and fought back!

The blade drew an arc and slashed towards Todo Heisuke's neck.

Todo Heisuke's reaction speed is far slower than Aoto's.

Although he stepped back subconsciously, he was still half a beat too slow.

He dodged the fatal blow and saved his neck, but not his left shoulder - the opponent's knife tip swept across his left shoulder, and the gushing blood instantly dyed the light green haori red.

Because he dodged too hastily, Fujido Heisuke's posture was extremely chaotic. After dodging the opponent's attack, he was unable to stabilize his body's center of gravity in time and stumbled to the ground.

Seeing Fujido Heisuke fall to the ground, the opponent did not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately took a half step forward, closed the distance, raised the sword above his head, and prepared to chop out the second blow.

But just as he raised the knife in his hand to the air and was about to chop it down, his body suddenly stopped, just like stopping a video tape - a knife pierced his throat from behind.

This guy was like a robot that had run out of power, unable to move anymore, his eyes bulged forward, and he was dead.

The person who saved Fujido Heisuke at this critical moment was Souji.

Souji gripped the knife tightly in his hand, swung it to the right, and threw the opponent's body off the knife.

The frightened Todou Heisuke looked at Souji in front of him, then looked at the enemy soldier lying at his feet, and murmured:
"Thank you, Chief..."

"Okay, no need to be polite, just stand up."

Souji assumed a Zanshin stance while keeping a serious look on his face and keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings.

"How are your injuries?"

"It's just a cut on the skin, it's nothing serious."

Fujido Heisuke stood up hurriedly, leaning on his knife.

"Soji, be careful! There's something strange about these guys!"

"Well, I see..."

After saying that, Souji subconsciously turned his head to look for Qing Deng's figure.

Qing Deng’s figure was not difficult to find at all.

Because he was fighting alongside Nagakura Shinpachi, he was surrounded by enemy soldiers - and there were also enemy soldiers lying at his feet.
