Tennis Shinsengumi's Blood Dance Sakura

The fire flashed, illuminating the entire room, but the sword in Tezuka's hand disappeared.Raising his head suddenly, Tezuka stared blankly at the person wearing the bamboo hat in front of him, unable to concentrate his confused thoughts for a while.

"Tezuka, long time no see!" Taking off the hat, it was Kondo's kind face that appeared in front of Tezuka.

"Oishi!" Tezuka has never been able to see Oishi since the farewell to Ryuzan. Although Sanada promised to release him, he has never been able to see Oishi. The battlefield changes rapidly, and death is a very common thing. Tezuka Never expected to see him again.

"Sorry, because I'm a dead person, I had to disguise myself. I saw Kenya Ninzuzu outside today, so I asked him to bring me here."

Tezuka nodded, the already extinguished flame in his heart was suddenly ignited with a warm flame because of his old friend's smile.Lighting the candle, the two sat on the floor, unavoidably recalling the bits and pieces since time travel, the tennis career seems to have passed away.Now there are only the two of them left in Seigaku, the Hyodi is alone with Shinozu, and in Shitenbaoji, only Kenya who has been with Shinozu since Ikedaya is left, and Higa has almost disappeared since Kite Eishiro was assassinated, And Li Haida lost two more people in the Aizu War, leaving only Sanada and Liu Renji.Since time travel, everyone has been in a mess, and it is embarrassing to meet again at this moment.

"Tezuka, in fact, I have always wanted to quit the battle. Ever since Kikumaru died, I have lost my fighting spirit." Oishi said frankly, "So after that narrow escape, I was disheartened and wanted to change my name. Disappeared in the sea of ​​people since then."

"It doesn't matter!" Tezuka sighed, "It's already at this time, it doesn't make sense to say that you will die on the same day in the same year, just live the life you want. Seigaku doesn't exist anymore, and Shinsengumi doesn't exist anymore. It is necessary to bind yourself here."

Dashi smiled, "Yeah, I thought so too. But I have realized that I can't escape these few months of life. After losing everyone, I feel that life has no meaning, so... I'm back, Tezuka!" Oishi stretched out his hand towards Tezuka.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Tezuka understood his feelings, stopped persuading him, and said with a smile, "Welcome back!" Then he held Dashi's hand. At this moment, the support of his teammates is undoubtedly more heart-warming than anything else. .

"Hey, would you like to have a drink!" The two brothers who lived next door came over with jugs to celebrate their reunion with Dashi.Four people sat on the ground, passing wine jugs to each other, talking about not war, not death, but those distant past events before crossing, once everyone gathered together, now the four of them drink together, it is inevitable to be bleak, ups and downs, unpredictable The fate of the world, who is in the hands of it?If you have wine today, get drunk today, and worry about war tomorrow!

A knock on the door at dawn woke up all four people sleeping on the floor.Tezuka's adjutant brought news of the landing of the new government troops.The four of them were not surprised. If they failed to capture the ironclad ship, they knew it would be a matter of time. The navy was no longer strong enough to compete with the new government forces, and it was impossible to stop them from landing and fighting.Tezuka tidied up his military uniform and followed the adjutant to the conference room.The people who came after hearing the bad news were in a state of chaos.The serious shortage of troops is their fatal injury.After discussing for a long time, we couldn't come up with a satisfactory solution.It is an obvious fact that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Even if the discussion continues, there will be no results.

"Concentrate your forces and deal a severe blow to the new government forces that have landed! Right now there is only one way to go." Tezuka said.In the final meeting, it was decided that Tezuka and the big bird soldiers would block the enemy in two ways.Otori headed in the direction of Furuki, and Tezuka headed in the direction of Ergukou. The two men each brought 500 troops.Oishi also went with Tezuka.

Tezuka and Oishi set up a formation to lure the enemy deep into the Ergukou. The frontline troops led by Oishi acted as a bait at the Xiaergukou, while Tezuka set up a second bait at the Zhongergukou. The real battlefield was set at the Ergukou.The progress of the battle was as planned, and finally the enemy rushed into the ambush, and the guns were fired, and the fierce battle began.However, the new government army with high morale is not easy to bully. The two sides have been in a stalemate. Fighting from day to night and then from night to dawn, the barrel is too hot to hold and can only be cooled with cold water. Six hours later, the enemy's attack finally slowed down, and the gun battle turned into hand-to-hand combat. Tezuka and Oishi stepped forward and led everyone out of cover.The unstoppable new government army finally began to flee, and Tezuka and the others won a complete victory.

However, the steady stream of reinforcements quickly plunged Tezuka and the others into a bitter battle again. This kind of gun battle lasted for more than ten days, and the enemy was still unable to break through Ergukou's front.The soldiers also believed more and more that as long as Tezuka was around, they could not lose!Firm belief played the most critical role, allowing them to block the enemy's attacks round after round with their tired bodies.But the situation on other fronts is not optimistic. News of the defeat of each front keeps coming, and Big Bird's front has also fallen.The new government troops began to gather at Ergukou, and President Xiamoto sent envoys one after another to convey the news of dispiriting people, and urged Tezuka to retreat, but Tezuka ignored them.Big Bird was completely different from them who had grown up in the battle. He was just a man of paper, and his defeat was expected.Tezuka didn't want to give up the position he had held for more than ten days.

After the new government army assembled, it launched a general attack on Ergukou. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting to no avail, Tezuka selected 200 people as death squads and raised the flag of sincerity, and the rest were handed over to Oishi to command. Staggered to attack the enemy, constantly assaulting the enemy's defense line.In the end, the new government army finally began to be defeated, and Tezuka and the others achieved a proud record.

After the war, Ergukou was everywhere, and the blood-stained Chengzi flag was flying in the setting sun. Tezuka's eyes stayed on the flag for a long time and could not leave. This was the last battlefield.

Soon Xia Ben sent an envoy again, and Renzu came along with him.The other fronts have been completely defeated and retreated, and Tezuka's team has become a lone army. Victory can no longer change the situation, and shrinking defense has become the ultimate strategy.

"Xia Ben is ready to surrender." Renzu said.Although there is no clear news, Ninzuzu has already smelled the wind. "Tezuka, what are your plans?"

"Plan?" Tezuka smiled wryly, "If we surrender, we will face a death sentence, right?" Although he never thought of surrender, he also understands that they are different from politicians like Xia Ben. The flag of sincerity is stained with the blood of too many enemies, and no enemy will let them go.

After retreating from Ergukou, the battle situation worsened, and after the navy was wiped out, the fate of the new regime that had just been established for a few months was only annihilation. At the military meeting after the fall of Hakodate, Tezuka was on the way. I just left the table, and it is meaningless to discuss the issue of defending the city now, it is just preparing for surrender.

Oishi found Tezuka at the top of the city. In front of him was the great river and mountains illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun. The undulating outline of the distant mountains was inlaid with golden luster, and in the distance was the shimmering sea. The setting sun cast their long shadows on the ground. , Oishi turned his head to look, only to find that Tezuka's side face today was extraordinarily soft, and there was even a smile on his face.Oishi knew that Tezuka had decided his own destiny, and everything was about to settle down.Take a last look at the great rivers and mountains they fought for. It cannot be said that there is no regret, but it can be said that there is no regret!Life has nothing left to ask for.

"Oishi, I've made up my mind. Let's attack Hakodate!"

"Well, that's what I thought too."

Tezuka didn't say anything, just gave him a grateful look in return.

When the sky was getting dark the next day, Tezuka and Oishi appeared at the gate of the city, straddling their horses in full armor. No one raised the flag, so Oishi simply draped the Chengzi flag on his shoulders.Looking back at their last city, Wulingguo, Dashi said silently in his heart, "Farewell!"

Just as the two were about to set off, one or two hundred people suddenly poured out of the city. "Wait a minute! Deputy Chief! We'll go with you."

In the twilight of dawn, Tezuka glanced at the faces of the crowd. Some of these people were members of the Shinsengumi who followed him from the beginning, and some were comrades in arms who joined only after the Boshin War. Each of them had experienced many battles. , invincible.

"Do you... know where we are going?"

"Even if it was a sea of ​​swords and fire, we went with the deputy chief. I have seen a lot of hell scenes with the deputy chief over the years, and there is nothing to be afraid of." Compared with Tezuka's current official position in the army, they prefer the title of deputy chief !The deputy chief is the leader of a group, not an official position in a country, and he is someone they are proud of!

"Deputy Commander! Deputy Commander! Deputy Commander!..." More than 200 people raised their weapons at the city gate and shouted the title of Deputy Commander. Tezuka's eyes filled with tears from such wholehearted love and devotion to life and death.

Tezuka drew out the knife at his waist, raised it above his head, and said loudly, "Okay, everyone follow me and fight again!"

The sun rose slowly behind him, shining brightly on the top of the city.
