Tennis Shinsengumi's Blood Dance Sakura

The war collapsed at an unimaginable speed. After the Shinsengumi and Mikai groups achieved a small victory, Tezuka thought that the stalemate might last for a long time.But one morning Tezuka was checking the movement of the enemy with a telescope on the roof, but unexpectedly found signs that the shogunate army was retreating.Tezuka asked Kaitang to go out to find out the news, and Kaitang finally brought back someone who was the team leader of the retreating team.

"In short, I received an order from above to retreat, so I retreated. I heard that the situation has been completely defeated." The man did not hide his disappointment.

"Who the hell did you listen to, we've been defeated!" Atobe roared.

"His Highness Matsudaira, why are you here?" Seeing Atobe, the man was dumbfounded.Because he had long heard that important figures in the shogunate hid in Osaka Castle and refused to go to the front line, everyone's morale was very low.

"You don't care where I am!" Atobe roared, "Don't you know the consequences of such a retreat?"

"If we retreat too slowly, we might die without a place to bury ourselves," said the captain.

"Bastard!" Atobe kicked him angrily, he couldn't explain the truth to this kind of person, and besides, he was only following orders. "Which bastard gave such an order?" In such a war, as long as some people start to retreat, it will cause panic, and then everyone will rush to escape, and the army will be defeated like a mountain. The advantage in numbers has now become a disadvantage.Then the situation was completely out of control, and they might have to retreat again and again, giving up one line of defense, and finally they might have to retreat to Osaka Castle.The war has become a defeat, and it has clearly won several victories!Atobe clapped his fists angrily, "Tezuka, I'm going back to Osaka to see what's going on, you guys should make arrangements to retreat too!"

It is impossible to resist Sa Changjun by relying on the Jianhui group and the Shinsen group. This is a helpless choice.

Arranging Kawamura and Hyodi's people to escort Atobe and Shinozu back to Osaka, Tezuka began to deploy the retreat of the Shinsengumi.The only two forces that have won on the battlefield, the Shinsengumi and Mieigumi, have actually suffered heavy losses, with almost half of their personnel lost. The victory won at the cost of their lives is just like this, and no one is reconciled.

"We still have Osaka, let us fight the enemy in the impenetrable Osaka Castle!" This is Tezuka's retreat mobilization, and he himself can't believe what he said, if the leader's will to fight does not exist However, no matter how strong the city is, it is just an empty city, which will be destroyed without attack.But now that they were traumatized, they needed a boost of hope, so even if it was self-deception, Tezuka felt it was necessary.

"I'll stay at the Queen's Palace." Tezuka looked around, and saw that there were only Kaido, Momojo and Echizen left by his side, and he nodded with emotion, and said earnestly, "The Shinsengumi is here. I leave it to you."

"Don't the minister feel that he is going too far?" Echizen said calmly.

"what?"

"I stayed alone as a hero, but let us lead people to escape."

"Yes, yes, if you want to go together, if you want to stay together, don't you think so, Viper?" Taocheng echoed Echizen's words and sought Kaitang's consent.

"Asshole, now is not the time to show loyalty." Haitang's answer was somewhat unexpected, "The minister's approach is right, isn't it?"

Taocheng and Echizen looked at each other and stopped talking. Indeed, the most taboo thing to retreat is to run away in a swarm. It is necessary to break the back, otherwise the enemy will cover up and kill them, and they may be wiped out.No matter how strong they are, the mentality of retreating and charging is different. When retreating, they always think about how to get out of the body. The will to fight is weak.

"But only the minister is left alone..." Taocheng said hesitantly.

"The minister is the representative of the Shinsengumi, and it is a great honor to catch him!" Echizen debunked Tezuka's calculations, "But minister, don't rush to die!"

"Don't worry, I haven't planned to let you mourn for me." Tezuka said and patted his shoulder heavily, perhaps from now on, these immature shoulders will provoke the future of Shinsengumi.But he believes that no matter how heavy the fate is, it will not defeat Echizen. Since the time travelling, he has almost adapted to the changes of the situation for a person who has never let him worry about it. This is the pillar of Echizen and Seigaku, and it will also be the pillar of Shinsengumi in the future.

Watching the team disappear into the twilight, Tezuka planted the Shinsengumi's "Cheng" flag in the center of the camp, lit a bonfire under the flag, and sat by the fire to wait for the arrival of the enemy.The flames danced on the flag, and the bright red color seemed a bit dignified.This flag is almost dyed with blood, the blood of the enemy and his own.Putting aside the war, in order to maintain the safety of Kyoto, they killed many lawless ronin and sacrificed many brothers.I don't care that ordinary people regard them as Mibu wolves, and I don't care that the Kings and Barbarians regard them as executioners. They have been fighting for their ideals and shed every drop of blood with a clear conscience. All their efforts are worthwhile, even if one day the winner writes The history of all their lofty wills will be obliterated together.From those plain words, the souls of those who have passed away can never be found. Their souls only live in the present. At this moment, Tezuka has pinned his soul on this banner.

The enemy's footsteps were approaching, and Tezuka could hear thousands of people approaching, aiming at the banner stained with the blood of their compatriots, and aiming at the notoriety of the Shinsengumi Oni's Deputy Chief.

"Only you?" The person who rushed in first looked at Tezuka standing alone under the flag in amazement. The unexpected situation made everyone stunned for a while.

"Higakata?" The leaders Marui and Yagyu arrived afterward.

"Those who want to take my head can do it." Tezuka exhaled in a deep voice, and slowly opened the sword that was flickering with cold light.

Marui stared at him for a moment, Tezuka seemed to be a myth on the tennis court, and at this moment Tezuka's awe-inspiring aura made him dare not underestimate him. "Tezuka, don't blame me for being rude." Marui said as he waved the knife in his hand, and the people under him immediately formed a half-moon encirclement and raised their guns.Although it is a very despicable thing to let a generation of heroes die like this, this is the best way to reduce the casualties of one's own side. As the leader, he also has his own responsibilities.

"You're welcome." Tezuka said, "The winner on the battlefield is king." He held the sword in both hands and inserted it into the ground under his feet. The surrounding air began to rotate around the sword, and soon formed a huge vortex.

"Tezuka Field!" Marui didn't expect to see this move here, but if it was Tezuka Field, all the bullets fired would fly to the same target, and Tezuka would undoubtedly kill himself.Somewhat confused, Marui waved the knife in his hand, and the first round of bullets shot out. If he didn't understand, he had to try it. He didn't believe that Tezuka had any way to avoid the bullets. The speed of the bullets was not comparable to that of tennis balls. .

"Ah! Ah!" There were several screams in succession, and the few people standing at the front who fired their guns were hit by bullets and fell down. A gap had been formed in the original semicircular encirclement.

How can this be!Marui couldn't believe it, the bullet flying towards Tezuka changed direction halfway and turned towards his own people.

"Could it be that this is the legendary... Phantom of Tezuka?" Four words suddenly popped up in Yagyu's mind. It was when he was preparing for the national competition. Sanada had predicted the evolution of Tezuka's skills. It was Tezuka Phantom. At that time, they all thought that Sanada was just worrying, but Sanada said very seriously, be prepared.But I really didn't expect to see this superb move one day, but what Tezuka has to deal with now is not tennis balls, but bullets.Although it is unbelievable, there is only one answer. Tezuka has turned into a ghost and has the power to rival the ghosts.

"No wonder that kid Akaya failed. It turned out to be thanks to Tezuka." Marui suddenly said.

"Back, and then continue shooting." Yagyu ordered decisively. No matter how strong Tezuka is, maintaining such a large-scale air vortex consumes a lot of energy. They can guarantee their own safety by retreating out of the range of the phantom.How long can you last, Tezuka, in this situation of waiting to die?Since this is your wish, to buy time for the Shinsengumi to retreat, then I will grant you.Wave after wave of bullets hit the center of the storm, then changed direction and whirled out, falling to the ground exhausted.The two groups took turns shooting without giving Tezuka the slightest chance to fight back.If this continues, Tezuka's final outcome will undoubtedly be shot to death by random bullets.

Thinking of Chiya, the two couldn't help thinking of Kuwahara, who died because of the Shinsengumi. Although King Ni lived well in the world, he withdrew from the stage of history because he owed a favor to Tianwangshan.Although this intertwined hatred is forced by the situation and has nothing to do with personal grievances, they have no reason to let Tezuka go.Feeling that the surrounding air flow had obviously weakened, Liu Sheng took the gun from the person beside him, loaded the bullet, and the gun shone slightly in his hand.

"Tezuka, don't forget that I am also a member of the ghost clan. I will shoot you straight to the heart! Let you taste the power of the laser beam!" Liu Yu aimed at the person standing in the center of the vortex through the swirling airflow , finger pulled the trigger. ?

☆. The Banner That Doesn't Fall ([-])

"Minister!" At this critical moment, there was a shout in the air, and a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, slashing at the gun, and Liu Sheng's shot had already missed.At the moment when everyone was stunned, the two groups who exchanged guns hesitated a little, and Tezuka had already drawn his sword and rushed into the crowd.

"Kaitang, why are you here?" Tezuka swung his sword, and the four or five people around him immediately lost their fighting power.

"Minister! How could we leave you alone." Kaitang and Tezuka stood with their backs facing each other, fighting hand to hand, and then lost its original power. In addition, Tezuka's power increased greatly after the demonization. With a swipe of the long sword, no one Can get close.But in the face of heavy siege, it is almost impossible to get out.The situation of chaotic warfare lasted for a long time, but there was still no way out, and the body was approaching the limit, the strong smell of blood wafted in the air, arousing Tezuka's bloodthirsty desire, and the black hair was gradually fading. The moment they turned white might be when he lost control.

A gunshot rang out from a distance, Tezuka glanced eagerly at Kaitang, seeing that the other party was all right, just as he was surprised, the bright red "sincerity" flag was slowly falling down from the corner of his eye , to the burning flames.

"No!" Tezuka shouted involuntarily, his body froze, and the second gunshot sounded immediately. "Minister!" Haitang called out and threw himself into his arms.

"Kaido!" Tezuka shouted loudly, swung his sword with one hand to block all the swords, and wrapped his body around his body with the other, but what he touched was hot blood.It was a bullet aimed at him, but Kaitang blocked it with his body. "No, Kaitang! You can't die!" Tezuka yelled, and the sword swung an arc of flame, forcing everyone back, and putting Kaitang on the ground.Yagyu, who had a wide view, easily locked on the target and was about to fire the third shot.At this moment, a black horse galloped over the ruined walls of the village and galloped straight towards Liusheng. The man on the horse was dressed in black, the horse and the night merged into one, but the white scarf flying around his neck was very dazzling.When Echizen passed the fire, he jumped in the air and reached out to grab the falling flag, and the knife in his hand flew towards Yagyu, preventing him from shooting.But the man jumped off the horse, waved the flag with both hands, the wind was howling, and everyone felt that a red wave in front of them covered their sight.When they came back to their senses and looked again, Echizen had already fallen behind Tezuka and planted the flag on the ground.

"Minister, don't worry, there are people in the flag! This flag will never fall."

"Echigan!"

"Hmph, you're not ashamed of your words!" Liu Sheng, who had been disturbed several times, was about to raise his gun to aim again, when he held the hot barrel with both hands, and pressed down the gun lightly.

"Sanada?" Yagyu, who was paying attention to the enemy just now, didn't notice Sanada's arrival at all.

"Leave it to me." Sanada said in a deep voice.

Yagyu stepped back suspiciously, and looked at Tezuka and the others.The members of the Raiders received Sanada's signal and surrounded Tezuka in the center with weapons in hand.

"Kaitang! Kaitang!" The blood flowed more and more, life was passing from Kaitang's body, the only bottle left turned into water, and was taken away by Atobe, Tezuka had no way to save him.

"Senior Kaitang, you are so cunning. You clearly agreed to go together, but you came back secretly." Echizen said with tears in his eyes. He and Taocheng found that Haitang who disappeared halfway immediately understood the meaning of what he said at that time, and sent The team was handed over to Taocheng, and Echizen rushed back immediately. "I promised Senior Taocheng that I would bring you back."

A bleak smile appeared on Haitang's bloodless face, he wasn't around, no one was going against him, that guy would feel lonely, right?But to die for the minister, is this life worth it?Since he joined the tennis club, he has been following in the footsteps of the minister with admiration. Even though he knows that he will never be able to surpass him, at least he can contribute to Qingxue. "Minister..." Haitang was almost speechless, "You can't...something...you have to lead...the Shinsengumi..."

"No, no, my mission is to protect your safety, you know?" Tezuka's tears flowed down uncontrollably, did he pay everything just to watch them die in front of him?

"Go ahead..."

"Here!" Echizen knelt down on one knee and took the hand that Kaitang extended.

"Echizen, minister... I'll leave it to you."

"The seniors are too cunning!" Echizen said with a sob.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Haitang's gaze became dizzy, his life had already left him, only the smile on his face was still vivid.He did not deny what Echizen said, that living may be more difficult than dying, and those who are alive need to bear the pain of losing their companions, and those who die first are undoubtedly the happiest.

"Ah!" Tezuka hugged Kaitang's body tightly, and let out a mournful cry. From the moment his hands touched the blood, his body changed strangely. His skin became almost transparent, his hair quickly turned white, and his eyes were stained. Bloody, the sword stuck on the ground trembled and groaned, spreading like ripples on the ground, everyone felt shuddering, the deepest and most primitive fear surged up from the depths of their hearts, the longing for life, the desire for death Fear made them almost unable to hold the guns in their hands.Echizen, who had always remained calm, felt his heart tremble.

"Echizen, if you don't stop him from going berserk, he will exhaust all his mind at once." Sanada roared, pulling Echizen back from the state of trance, "I think you are also very aware of the side effects of turning into water."

"Huh, standing up and talking doesn't hurt your back." Echizen said coldly. He understood what Sanada said. Changing like water does not give people superpowers. It just stimulates people's potential abilities and brings them to the fullest. Inexhaustible, once exhausted, people will immediately run out of fuel and disappear without a trace, but Tezuka is in such a state, if he is prevented from venting the grief in his heart, the true energy in the body will wander around, and he may go mad. Dilemma.

"Sanada, if you have the ability to come here and compete one-on-one, what kind of hero is it to hide in the sidelines and snipe." Echizen gave up his plan to persuade, comforting others is not his strong point.So he diverted Tezuka's attention by provoking Sanada.As long as you calm down, Tezuka will definitely control himself.

"Take him away." Sanada ignored his provocation, waved his hand, and the surrounding people left and retreated behind him.

Echizen looked at him inexplicably, it was hard to believe that Sanada, who had been planning to kill them all, had missed such a good opportunity.

"It's not yet time for me to have a decisive battle with him," Sanada explained indifferently, "Out of respect for Ozuka, I want to completely defeat him."

"What do you mean?"

"I want him to see a new future being born in my hands so he can understand how much he has failed."

Echizen smiled, "I'm afraid you will never see that day, because what we want to pursue is different, and the future obtained by unscrupulous means will never be recognized by the minister."

☆、Farewell in the middle of the night
