Chapter 934: The Increasingly Bloodthirsty and Crazy Qing Deng [4600]

Nangong Mountain, the top of the mountain, the main formation——

A messenger rushed to Takasugi Shinsaku, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and loudly said:

"Lord Takasugi! Our army has gained an advantage on the northern front!"

"It's just...due to lack of troops, the troops on the northern front can only suppress the enemy troops, but cannot completely drive them back to the foot of the mountain!"

After hearing this, Takasugi Shinsaku nodded gently:

"very good!"

"Send an order to the troops on the northern front: maintain the current positive situation and never take it lightly!"

"It doesn't matter even if we can't repel the enemy."

"As long as we hold them back, our goal will have been achieved."

"Isamu Kondo and Kamo Serizawa are both brave and capable warriors."

"Being enemies with them, any carelessness may lead to irreparable serious consequences!"

"Go and give the order!"

The ordering soldier responded with a loud "yes", and then retreated with great strides, rushing non-stop to the northern line to convey the order.

As soon as the messenger left, Omura Masujiro, who was standing next to Takasugi Shinsaku, said calmly:

"As expected, Tachibana Aoto has focused his attack on the southern front."

The main direction of the Shinsengumi's attack - this is not difficult to predict.

No matter from what angle or aspect, Qingdeng has no reason not to set the southern route as the main direction of attack!

Therefore, in order to block the Shinsengumi's offensive, Takasugi Shinsaku deployed most of his troops on the southern front.

As for the northern front, he retained only a minimum number of troops.

He expected nothing more from the troops guarding the northern front.

As long as they can hold back the enemy so that they can neither approach their own formation nor support the southern front, their mission will be considered completed.

Now it seems that they did not disappoint him!

Although they have very few troops, with the support of "Decisive Battle of Yodo", they not only successfully blocked the enemy's offensive! Moreover, he also occupied a considerable advantage and suppressed the enemy!

There is no need to worry about the northern route for the time being.

Now, Takasugi Shinsaku, who feels the pressure has eased, can finally focus all his attention on the southern front.

Compared with the northern route, the southern route is the most important...

Judging from the currently known intelligence, Aomori placed most of the Shinsengumi's high-end combat power on the southern front.

Takasugi Shinsaku does not doubt the efficacy of "Decisive Battle of Yodo".

However, whether this "external force" alone could stop the swordsmen led by Niou... To be honest, he felt unsure.

He sat on the horse in silence and with a stiff expression, anxiously waiting for the messenger's report.

Being too anxious makes the sense of time strange.

He frequently lowered his head to check his pocket watch.

It obviously felt like a long time had passed, but in the end the minute hand had just moved a few ticks.

Only in front of Katsura Kogoro and Omura Masujiro did he dare to show his negative side without any scruples.

Finally...a messenger soldier covered in blood stumbled and staggered into Takasugi Shinsaku's field of vision.

"Lord Takasugi! Lord Takasugi!"

Takasugi Shinsaku immediately perked up and asked hurriedly without caring about anything else:

"What's going on on the southern front?"

The ordering soldier fell in front of him and said quickly out of breath:

"The enemy forces on the southern front...the southern front...the enemy forces on the southern front have been suppressed!"

"Under the fierce attack of our army, the enemy army was beaten to pieces! It almost collapsed!"

After hearing this, Takasugi Shinsaku and Omura Masujiro breathed out a sigh of relief, and there was joy in their cheeks.

However, before they could show their smiles...

"Just, just..."

The messenger made a supplement without hesitation.

Seeing the other party's change of subject, Takasugi Shinsaku was stunned for a moment, and then asked eagerly:

"Just what?"

The messenger showed a horrified expression that was close to tears:

"There are 4 monsters, we can't stop them no matter what!"

…

…

"Those four people are coming to kill them soon! The people from behind are coming quickly!"

"The fifth gun team has been assembled!"

"Fifth Gun Team! Follow me!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Don't be stupid! Come on!"

"Shoot! Shoot!"

"Shoot! It's so hard to get such an advanced musket. Do you just know how to charge with your bayonet?"

"Do you think I don't want to shoot! In this situation, how do you expect us to reload with peace of mind?!"

"Damn it! I can't hit them!"

"Damn! There are so many obstacles here! It's hard to shoot them!"

"The fifth gun team is completely destroyed!"

"What? Didn't they just go into battle?"

"Yes! But as soon as they entered the battle, they encountered Niou and Tianjian head-on!"

…

The members of the team of surprise soldiers rushed forward in a hurry to fill the vacancies in the battle line. Among them were "biological soldiers" who had eaten the "Decisive Lake" and gained powerful strength.

They are very brave and their posture is admirable.

However... the battlefield in front of them is like a bottomless pit! Constantly devouring fresh lives!

Looking around, the front line has become a horrifying mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood!

Four figures of different sizes stood among them, their robes stained with blood, exuding a terrifying murderous aura!

In an instant, these four figures sprang out from the sea of ​​​​blood in the mountain of corpses! Take the initiative to face new enemy groups as they appear!

I saw the Bizen Nagabune in Aoto's palm drawing a sharp arc in mid-air, smashing the bodies of the two men into pieces with just one blow.

When they waved again, their bodies became fragmented again!

Sooner or later, Qingdeng had already penetrated the depths of the enemy group! It's like a small boat rushing into the center of the storm, rushing left and right, and the enemy formation is shattered as if the waves are breaking!

Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito all showed the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit! He spared no effort to unleash his sword skills, turning every enemy soldier into a corpse.

They have always wanted to catch up with Qingdeng in front and share his pressure.

However... they couldn't keep up with Qingdeng's attack speed!

In desperation, they could only follow closely behind him and deal with the remaining enemies that slipped under his sword.

The four of them were silent, running, and attacking.

The enemy soldiers screamed, died, and collapsed.

There was no other figure wearing light green feathers around the four of them.

In other words - they really defeated the enemy's formation with just the strength of four people! Turn the tide of battle!

…

…

After the captain of the First Gun Team, Matsugiya Sagara, and others were killed one after another, the heavy responsibility of commanding the southern front troops fell on the shoulders of the Captain of the Second Gun Team, Matsumura Gorokuro.

To be fair, although Matsumura Gorokuro's personal ability is not necessarily that outstanding, he can become the captain of the second gun team of the surprise team, so naturally he still has some abilities.

However...the extremely noisy battlefield movements, the ever-changing battlefield situation, and the increasingly severe battle situation were like surging torrents, pouring into his mind! It made him overwhelmed and dizzy!

He even had the urge to give up on himself and leave the position alone.

Like Takasugi Shinsaku, Matsumura Gorokuro was very resistant to the "Decisive Battle of Yodo".

Apart from anything else, the side effects caused by taking this drug made him stay away from it.

But... even though he was filled with disgust, he had to admit: this strange pill named "Decisive Battle" was indeed worthy of its name!

The fighting power displayed by the team members who swallowed this medicine... To be honest, even Matsumura Gorokuro, who was mentally prepared for this, couldn't help but feel his throat tightening and his heart was shocked!

Can win! As long as he relies on the power of the "Decisive Battle of Yodo", he can definitely defeat the Shinsengumi - he concluded with confidence.

In fact, when the war started, his judgment was absolutely correct.

The Shinsengumi, who didn't expect the changes in the team's combat power, were beaten to a pulp!

There is no doubt that this is the most embarrassing day for the Shinsengumi since its establishment!

The Shinsengumi's battle front is about to collapse... Suddenly, Nioh and the "Three Shinsengumi" appear!

Read the original article in Liu#9x-on:书/吧!

It’s these 4 people…only these 4 people! No matter how hard Matsumura Gorokuro and others try, they can't resist it!

They are like lions among dogs! It is an existence that stands out from the crowd!

When he thought that these four people were about to be killed in front of him, Matsumura Gorokuro felt a chill running through his body.

Although he felt timid, his loyalty to Takasugi Shinsaku, his support for the great cause of Zunbo, and his hatred of the shogunate allowed him to regain the courage to fight.

With a choking sound, he pulled out the saber from his waist, raised his head and shouted:

"Second Gun Team! Follow me!"

The second gun team under his command is the last unit he can freely call upon at present...

While drawing the knife, he took out a red pill from his waist, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it roughly a few times, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, within a few breaths, his eyes changed significantly - his eyes became particularly focused, and his whole temperament also became completely different.

"Follow me!"

He led the men of the Second Gun Team to the front line!

Within a moment, the rich smell of blood hit his face.

Just by smelling this smell, you can intuitively feel the tragedy on the front line!

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tap...!

Without any warning... the rapid footsteps from far to near sounded from the front, making Matsumura Gorokuro feel goosebumps all over his body!

"Captain Matsumura! Be careful!"

Along with this reminder, a blood-stained light green feathered fabric filled his entire field of vision...!

Aoto turned into an afterimage, and flashed in front of Matsumura Gorokuro like a whirlwind. The knife covered in blood and fat was swung from below!

Matsumura Gorokuro's pupils instantly shrunk to the size of pinholes.

He had already heard about the tragedy of Matsugiya Sagara, the captain of the First Gun Team, who was directly chopped down by Aoto.

Therefore, he did not dare to take a hard hit and twisted his body to the right, trying to avoid it.

With the blessing of "Decisive Battle", his skills became extremely agile and his reaction speed was greatly enhanced.

What a pity, he still underestimated Qingden's cutting speed!

After slashing the air with his sword, Qingteng immediately adjusted the direction of the blade, aimed at the direction where Matsumura Gorokuro was escaping, and slashed again - this series of actions happened almost simultaneously!

Not to mention taking a breather, Matsumura Gorokuro didn't even have time to blink before he was about to face Qingto's second slash.

His body was still stuck in the "dodge to the right" action just now. The old strength was exhausted and new strength was born... This time, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape!

The Bizen Nagabune cut deeply into his chest, splattering a thick mist of blood.

After groaning a few times, he gradually lowered his head, his limbs went limp, he dropped the knife, and he knelt down on the ground. With his body as the center, a large pool of blood immediately spread on the ground.

The captain of the second musketry team of the Raiders, Gorokuro Matsumura, was killed in action!

He had obviously taken the "Decisive Battle of Yodo", but he didn't even put up any decent resistance and died miserably at the hands of Aoto's sword!

Seeing Gorokuro Matsumura being killed instantly, the team members behind him all looked horrified, and even their charging steps slowed down a few beats.

"What's wrong? Why are you in a daze? Come here quickly."

Qingden's calm voice reached their ears.

What also reached their ears was the sound of the blade!

…

…

"It's just that the enemy has become a little stronger, and you are at a loss. I'm really disappointed." - What Qingdeng said to the soldiers just now was partly for the purpose of provoking the generals, and the other half was true. got angry.

It's just that after encountering an unexpectedly powerful enemy, he panicked like this and nearly collapsed the battle line... It's really outrageous!

For the first time, Qingdeng was disappointed with the army he had built.

Facts have proved that there is still a big gap between the current Shinsengumi and his ideal indomitable steel team!

Apart from the annoyance, there is another emotion - the emotion called "anxiety" - lingering in his heart.

He has always regarded "protecting important people" as his responsibility.

But the result...

Tokugawa Iemo and Tenjoin trapped Edo...

Toshizo Hijikata and Elodie struggled to survive in the Hachioji Plain...

In order to help him conquer the "high wall", Shannan Keisuke was seriously injured...

Every time the faces of Tenzouin, Hijikata Toizan and others passed through his mind, he unconsciously clenched the sword in his hand!

Get out of my way...I don't have the spare time to accompany you to fight a bad war in Sekigahara!

I still want to...become stronger!

This anxiety, this anger, created this scene - only three people, led by Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, and Saito Kazuichi, dared to charge directly into the enemy's main line!

He consciously put himself in danger, charging wherever there was danger, without giving himself any chance to breathe, charging, swinging his knife, and fighting without stopping!

He is well aware of his own characteristics - his potential can only blossom when he is forced into a desperate situation!

After beheading Matsumura Gorokuro, he suddenly jumped towards an enemy soldier like a hungry tiger attacking a sheep.

While leaping up, he raised the Bizen Nagabune in his palm above his head, and then used gravity and the potential energy of his body's fall to slash the sword down hard!

Qingdeng's body function is very powerful and you cannot fight with him - although this is a widely known fact, in the fierce and fast-changing battle, few people can "control their bodies freely".

Seeing Qing Deng leaping over, the opponent subconsciously raised the flintlock gun in his palm, intending to catch him forcefully.

The consequences can be imagined - Qingdeng directly chopped off the flintlock, and then chopped the man in half without losing any strength.

clang!

Suddenly, a strange clang sounded - the Kitabizen Nagasaki in Aoto's hand broke!

The blade was broken in the middle, leaving a fracture like broken glass.

Broken knife... This is actually a matter of course.

Although the Bizen Nagafune is a rare and good sword, it cannot stand up to Aoto using it like this!

Qingden looked at the half-cut blade in his hand expressionlessly, and then threw it away without blinking.

In fact, he wanted to change his knife from just now.

After killing an unknown number of people, the Bizen Nagabune, which was covered in blood and fat, had become very difficult to use.

Now that it's broken, simply change the knife!

At this moment, an enemy soldier spotted Qingdeng's opportunity to break his sword, hurriedly stepped forward, thrust out the bayonet in his hand, and stabbed Qingdeng in the chest.

Qingden quickly jumped to the right.

When his feet fell back to the ground, he was shocked to see a knife in his right hand - it was quickly pulled out from the opponent's waist at the same moment as he dodged. His movements were as quick as lightning.

After seizing the knife, Qingdeng used his backhand to slash the opponent's body diagonally.

The opponent is also a "biochemical warrior" who has eaten "Decisive Lake".

He took half a step back, trying to avoid Qingdeng's attack.

But in fact, the slash is false, while the cut in the waist is real!

At the same moment he retreated, Qingdeng quickly changed his moves! He slid forward like a loach, passed under his left armpit, and let the blade of the knife cut across his waist and abdomen from the tang to the tip.

——Not enough...

He moves on to the next opponent without stopping for a moment.

At this moment, he was no longer limited to "cutting", but directly swung the blade horizontally and slapped the opponent's cheek with the blade.

Although it was just the blade, it was an iron weapon after all. Because it took a lot of force, the man's facial bones were probably broken.

——Not enough...!

He slashed twice in succession. When he withdrew the knife, a total of four people fell to the ground.

——Not enough! I still want to become... stronger!

Suddenly, wisps of strange light flickered in and out of his eyes - this was a light that was very different from the "selfless state".
