Chapter 932 The "Biochemical Force" At the End of the Tokugawa Shogunate! [4500]

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed subtly.

A bunch of stunned and surprised eyes wandered in mid-air.

The decisive battle against Lake... Everyone present had a certain understanding of this object - because of this, they showed frightened expressions at the moment.

Omura Masujiro's complexion changed slightly and his pupils shrank slightly:

"...Mr. Takasugi, are you sure? Using our trump card so soon?"

Takasugi Shinsaku said slowly and expressionlessly:

"Honestly, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to touch something dangerous like this."

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

Omura Masujiro pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The Shinsengumi's combat power and advancement speed were not only beyond his expectations as a strategist, but also beyond the expectations of General Takasugi Shinsaku.

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

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

But despite this, the war situation still deteriorated faster than expected!

Omura Masujiro believed that the "high wall" on the southern battlefield could last at least 2 days - he was not so optimistic, but he felt that the "high wall" could last at least 1 day.

But in the end... it took the Shinsengumi less than 2 hours to break through the "high wall" and everyone was slapped in the face.

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

"I believe you all know that I don't like to punish the party."

"But no matter what we think in our hearts, it can't change the fact that we are now allies with the Fa Zhu Party!"

"In the face of a powerful enemy, we are fighting in our dens. How can we behave like this?"

Having said this, he specifically raised his eyes and glared at the people who had just criticized Shuten Doji.

"It is true that their progress is not going well, and they are hampered by the concerted efforts of thousands of people."

"But how good is it here?"

"Only one day has passed, and the Shinsengumi has arrived in front of us!"

"Now is not the time for finger-pointing."

"At this critical moment, how can we be emotional?"

"Kui-kun and the others are fighting hard in Kanto... Whether they can capture Edo is related to the success or failure of this battle."

"To put it bluntly, as long as they can capture 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, even if I am asked to take poison, I will hold my nose and admit it!"

In the team of surprise soldiers, Takasugi Shinsaku's status and authority are unshakable.

Seeing the general making such a firm statement, the eyes and expressions of everyone present gradually changed - like evil wolves, with fierce eyes flashing.

Takasugi Shinsaku looked around the scene again, then held his head high and said loudly in an unquestionable tone:

"Distribute the 'Decisive Battle of Lake' to all soldiers! Success or failure depends on this!"

…

…

After the military meeting ended, everyone retreated in twos and threes.

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

"Mr. Omura, it's late at night, you should go and have a rest."

After saying that, Takasugi Shinsaku let out a sigh of relief, with obvious tiredness and a vague look of pain on his brows.

Although he had issued a tactful "expulsion order", Omura Masujiro did not leave just yet.

He turned his head sideways and looked at the other person with complicated eyes.

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

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

However, he immediately returned to normal.

"'Endure'? What do you mean? What have I endured?"

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

"Mr. Takasugi, have you forgotten?"

"Before I joined the army, I was a famous doctor who learned medical skills since I was a child."

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

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

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

"You don't have to pretend to be okay in front of me."

After speaking, he took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed them to the other party.

Looking at the stack of papers handed over by Omura Masujiro, Takasugi Shinsaku's cheeks were filled with a variety of emotions - some were surprised, some were sad, some were relieved...

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

While smiling, he reached out to take the stack of paper and covered his mouth and nose with it:

Then--

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

Even if I muffle my cough into paper, the sound is still terrifying.

The cough lasted for a long time.

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

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

"People suffering from blood cough will cough uncontrollably. Mr. Takasugi, I'm really sorry that you can pretend to be fine in front of others, and you have been pretending for such a long time..."

About 5 minutes later, Takasugi Shinsaku gradually stopped coughing and regained his composure.

While breathing heavily, he took out the paper in front of his mouth and nose - the paper was stained with dazzling blood.

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

"Why do you have to be the one suffering from this disease...!"

He clenched his fists involuntarily as he spoke, his words filled with strong regret.

As a former doctor, Omura Masujiro naturally understands the horror of blood cough.

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

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

He smiled slightly and threw the bloody paper in his palm into the fire pit nearby.

"Mr. Omura, there is no need to show such an expression."

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

“Some people smoke and drink heavily but live a long life.”

"Life and death are fateful. I have looked past them. This is probably my 'fate'."

"Even if I feel unwilling to do so, I can only accept it."

"That's fine."

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

"Once you know that your death is imminent, you can relieve yourself of many burdens and be able to concentrate on what you really want to do."

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

"...Mr. Takasugi, you look like you are going to the end of the world at the last moment."

Takasugi Shinsaku smiled heartily:

"While my body can still move, I have to seize the time to make this boring world interesting!"

…

…

The next day, early morning——

Tenmanzan, the main formation of the Shinsengumi——

Facing the rising sun in the east, Qingdeng stood with his sword in hand, looking at Nangong Mountain shrouded in the glow.

Last night, he issued today's combat goal to the entire army - completely defeat the surprise team within today! Capture Nangong Mountain!

Thanks to yesterday's fierce attack, the right-wing front has been pushed halfway through Nangong Mountain.

Regardless of the left wing, the right wing has every hope of reaching the top of the mountain today! Break the enemy's main formation!

Therefore, Qingdeng designated the right wing as the breakthrough point to "completely defeat the enemy" and used the right wing as the main direction of attack.

The left wing continued the offensive, but mainly acted as a diversion.

The lineup of generals on the right wing remained unchanged. Except for Shannan Keisuke who was recovering from his injuries in the rear, he, Souji, Saito Kazuo and Niimi Nishikirai still led the right wing.

On this basis, he transferred Nagakura Shinpachi and Inoue Genzaburo from the left wing, and then transferred Harada Sanosuke, "Multiple Man" Asai Moriyasu, "Little Dragon" Makimura Taichi, and "Thunder Slash" from the main formation. Kanichi Shimada - the four of them have been sitting in the main formation yesterday, acting as a reserve team.

He has designated today as "the day of decisive battle." In this way, there is no need to leave Harada Sanosuke and others behind - now is the time to concentrate the maximum combat power and defeat the enemy in one go!

As for Boss Kiryu, he continues to stay in the main camp.

The injury he sustained against Katsuki Yamada Asaemon has not yet healed, and he is really not suitable to go to the front line.

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

Qingdeng's determination to "end this war today" is evident!

Without any warning -

Bang!

A sudden gunshot announced the beginning of the battle!

"Follow me!"

"kill!"

"Destroy them!"

Using the forward position established yesterday as a springboard, the Shinsengumi team members rushed to the top of the mountain!

Looking up, it looks like a surging wave of light green color!

Qing Deng prepared a long boat with his hand in hand and took the lead.

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

Qingdeng spotted the opponent's movements, twisted slightly, and effortlessly avoided the bullet.

While dodging, he raised the Bizen longship in his palm - in the next breath, the blade drew an icy arc in mid-air.

Qingden aimed at the opponent's chest.

He thought this move was a sure shot.

But the result——

clang!

With the harsh sound of gold and iron hitting each other, Qingdeng's sword was held up!

The moment Qingdeng swung his sword, the opponent quickly dropped the flintlock gun in his hand, then pulled out the saber from his waist and raised the knife to block - although it seemed reluctant, he did block Qingdeng's slash. hit!

Although this was just a casual slash struck by Qingden, it was not something that ordinary people could easily take...

Although Qingden was surprised, as a battle-hardened swordsman, he quickly adjusted himself.

His eyes were slightly focused, and he pulled the Bizen longship back to his hand with lightning speed.

Sheath the knife, charge up, and strike out—three actions in one go!

This time the slashing was done with real skill!

No matter the cutting speed or power, it was not comparable to the attack just now.

Although the opponent tried hard to block, his movements were still half a beat too slow.

With a sneer, the Binzen Nagabune's blade tore open his belly, and his internal organs spilled all over the floor.

Qingdeng once again used his "nothing to see" ability, the blade only cut flesh and blood, not bones.

Only one spine was left to connect the opponent's upper and lower bodies. After shaking a few times, he fell to the ground.

Logically speaking, after suffering such a serious injury, it is impossible to get up again and can only lie on the ground and wait for death.

The indescribable pain and the gushing amount of blood are enough to make a person incapacitated.

However...then, an unbelievable scene happened!

After shaking for a few times, the opponent actually stepped on his heels and stood firm, then shouted "Ah", and rushed towards Qingdeng with the knife!

The bright tip of the knife stabbed directly into Qingdeng's chest!

The unexpected change made Qingdeng's face change slightly.

Fortunately, this level of change was not even a crisis for Qingdeng.

The talent "Super Speed ​​+7" was activated!

His body took action one step ahead of his consciousness, standing half a step to the right, avoiding the opponent's stab, and then backhanded a knife, piercing the opponent's throat.

At this point, the opponent finally lost the ability to resist, and his body twitched a few times before he completely lost his life, hanging limply on Qingdeng's knife.

Only a little flesh and blood remained connected to his upper and lower body, but he was still able to fight back... Such an abnormal fighting will exuded a strong and weird breath!

Qing Deng lowered his face, raised his head and looked around, and suddenly found that these strange enemy soldiers were everywhere on the battlefield!

"Damn it! How can these guys be so tenacious!"

"Be careful! This guy is not dead yet!"

"How is it possible! I have clearly pierced his chest!"

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

First, their physical fitness has become extremely strong!

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

Secondly, their fighting spirit has become very terrifying!

Even if they are pierced through the chest and their stomachs are cut open, they will not fall down easily!

So... so... so it's like they are not afraid of pain at all!

Facing this group of suddenly changed opponents, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the captains suffered a great loss!

"Hey!"

Fujido Heisuke shouted, raised his sword to the upper right section, and used a standard cassock slash, hitting the upper body of an enemy soldier.

The opponent's chest was like a shell, split in half, with bones exposed and blood pouring out.

Normally, such a serious injury would have meant death.

Therefore, Fujido Heisuke no longer paid attention to the opponent, 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!

Whoosh!

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

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

Not only did he not fall to the ground, but he swung the sword to fight back!

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

Fujido Heisuke's reaction speed was far slower than Qing Deng.

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

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 blood that flowed out immediately dyed the light green haori red.

Because he dodged too hastily, Fujido Heisuke's posture was extremely chaotic. After dodging the opponent's slash, he failed 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 his knife over his head, and prepared to chop the second knife.

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

This guy was like a robot without power, unable to move anymore, his eyes bulged forward, and he died completely.

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

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

The frightened Fujido Heisuke looked at Souji in front of him, then looked at the enemy soldier lying at his feet, and murmured:

"Souji...thank you..."

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

Souji put on a Zanshin posture and looked serious and alert to the surroundings.

"How is your injury?"

"It's just a cut on the flesh, it's okay."

Fujido Heisuke leaned on the knife and stood up hurriedly.

"Souji, be careful! These guys are weird!"

"Yeah, I can 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 side by side with Nagakura Shinpachi, surrounded by enemy soldiers - and his feet were also full of enemy soldiers.

PS: In historical facts, Takasugi Shinsaku, like Okita Souji, also suffered from tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was particularly prevalent at that time, and no one knows why.
