If Ayase Taichi lives a long life, he will recall that distant night when he was beaten by the Shinsengumi all-star lineup...

…

…

Even a fool can fight a one-sided battle.

Qingdeng personally led the team.

There are also powerful people such as Okita Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Kazuo, Kondo Isamu, Hijikata Toshizo and other powerful people to help out.

In addition, it is better to be prepared than to attack.

It would be unreasonable to fail to win such a wealthy battle!

Although the current Shinsengumi has many problems, the equipment level is very poor, and the discipline and organization have not yet been developed, the physical fitness and martial arts level of the sergeants are excellent.

After all, these are the warriors Qingdeng carefully selected from thousands of applicants.

Most of them joined the Shinsengumi just to make a name for themselves.

They are eager to fight.

They long for military glory!

When they learned that there was a battle to be fought, they all fought against each other.

In addition, because when he entered Kyoto yesterday, he was unanimously disliked by the people of Kyoto, so most of the people, including the chief general, Hijikata Toshizo and other officers, were holding an unknown fire in their hearts.

They desperately need to vent - just watch! Let you Kyoto people see the power of the Bando Samurai!

So, as soon as the battle started, the sergeants of the Shinsengumi were like wild beasts coming out of the cage, howling and rushing forward, scrambling to be the first, with high fighting spirit and momentum!

Tonight's battle is not a large-scale field battle, but a small-scale urban battle, so there is no need for any complicated command at all, just head on and be reckless!

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teams of the Metropolitan Police Bureau and the Battō Team responsible for entering the mansion. Except for the 1st team, which could not keep up with Souji's attack speed, the other teams all followed closely behind their respective captains.

Behind him, he killed the people on the other side and turned them upside down.

Originally, most of the so-called "fightable men" of the Nanmu Group were just a bunch of ignorant people who were waiting to die and could only bully ordinary people. Have you ever seen such a tiger and wolf warrior?

Facing the overwhelming onslaught of the Shinsengumi, they were like instant milk powder - they were washed away in the blink of an eye.

The battle had just begun, and there was a massive rout among the Kusunoki group. A large number of lofty soldiers fled in all directions, losing all their fighting spirit. They only blamed their parents for giving him a pair of fewer legs and feet.

Kondo Isamu led the Metropolitan Police Bureau to suppress the battle. His duty was to supervise the battle team and prevent deserters from appearing.

As a result, because the battle situation was so good, there were no sergeants who were timid in the face of the battle. Therefore, Kondo Isamu and his Metropolitan Police Bureau did not play the role of supervising the battle. Instead, they wiped out many first, second, third, and fourth teams who were lucky enough to escape.

The lightning offensive slipped through the net.

However, there are still a few lucky ones who, after escaping the fierce fronts of the first, second, third, and fourth teams, then escaped from the sharp sword of the Metropolitan Police Bureau.

However, these lucky people basically had their front legs out of the mansion, and their back legs were tightly intercepted by a siege network composed of five, seven, and ten teams.

Shannan Keisuke led these three teams and surrounded the mansion so tightly that not even a mouse could escape.

Even if there is a super lucky person who escapes the interception of Shannan Keisuke, Sanako and others, it doesn't matter - because there is still a second encirclement composed of teams six, eight and nine.

However, until the end of the battle, the members of the 6th, 8th, and 9th teams were unable to encounter an enemy and acted as an atmosphere team.

Although the knives on their waists were never drawn out from the beginning to the end, if they could not make any contribution to tonight's battle, that would not be the case - they had successfully completed the task of "preventing irrelevant persons from approaching the battlefield."

task.

The shouts of death rising to the sky, the messy footsteps, the harsh clanging of swords... Such noisy movements naturally attracted the surrounding residents.

"What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

"Is it Yakuza who is fighting?"

"Can the Yakuza Rush make such a big noise?"

"Ah! It seems that the Shinsengumi, the governor of Gyeonggi Town, is attacking the Kusunoki-gumi!"

"What did you say? The Shinsengumi and Kusunoki-gumi are fighting?!"

"Is this true?"

"Let's go! Go and have a look!"

For a time, countless soldiers and people gathered.

Soldiers from the 6th, 8th, and 9th teams guarded various street intersections leading to Kusunoki-gumi's main formation.

They put their shoulders against each other to form a thick human wall, preventing any other people from approaching.

Therefore, when the soldiers and people who arrived after hearing the news saw the magnificent mansion from a distance, they were blocked by the human wall and could not move any further - in fact, they did not dare to approach casually and there were still terrifying noises coming out.

battlefield.

In desperation, they could only stand on tiptoes, stretch their necks, and cast excited and impatient eyes towards the Nanmu Formation in the distance and towards the mansion that had brought them so much suffering.

Everyone looked forward eagerly, as if they were waiting for something, looking forward to something.

As time passed, more and more people gathered.

People who don't know about it may think that some grand celebration is being held here.

Suddenly, someone shouted like this:

"Look! It's Tachibana Aoden!"

In an instant, countless lines of sight crossed the wall of people and uniformly looked forward.

Blood.

Horrible blood.

The dripping blood that dominates the field of vision.

The turbid air blows in your face.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the smell of sweat after a battle made it difficult to breathe.

Qingdeng, who was covered in blood, walked at the front of the queue, striding like lightning.

His whole body was covered with blood that had darkened and solidified. From his hair to his face to the clothes on his body, the original color was almost invisible.

Following closely behind him were the Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Ichi, Serizawa Kamuo, and the sergeants of the Shinsengumi, all of whom looked similar in their appearance of being bathed in blood.

Because they had just come from the battlefield, their eyes, expressions, and even every move were filled with murderous intent.

It is late at night in late winter and the weather is cold.

The looming heat was hazy on their heads.

Countless clouds of white mist exhaled from their mouths and drifted into the night, and the silver moonlight illuminated their shining eyes.

Looking at this gradually approaching victorious army, without the need for instructions from others, a hole suddenly appeared in the human wall blocking the intersection.

The citizens of Kyoto who came to watch also separated to the left and right to make way.

When Qingdeng and others passed through the gap and walked among the people, the people were shocked to find that in the middle of the team, there were about twenty people being led into a long string by strong hemp ropes, just like leading dogs.

Let the sergeants of the Shinsengumi drag him along.

The soldiers and the people looked intently and immediately found many familiar faces among these people.

"Look! It's Ayase Taichi!"

"It's really Ayase Taichi!"

"And Suzuki Nizo and Nozawa Harudai!"

"Most of the cadres of the Nanmu Group are here!"

Ayase Taichi and others all buried their heads deeply, as if they were mourning for their heirs, and did not even dare to express their feelings. A few of them even cried to the sky, and they were no longer as arrogant as before.

When Ayoto and Souji broke through all the lines of defense and rushed straight in front of them, both the "conservatives" headed by Suzuki Nizo and the "radicals" headed by Nozawa Harunai all moved forward without thinking.

Sliding and surrendering.

Needless to say, the former advocates "being soft on Qingdeng".

As for the latter who advocate that "Qingdeng should not be talked down to and should treat Qingdeng as an equal"... they are just arrogant, not mentally retarded.

The organization collapsed, and almost all resistance forces were eliminated... No one who saw such a scene would dare to think of resisting again.

It wasn't until the moment Aoden's knife was placed on their necks that Nozawa Harudai and others suddenly realized - shouldn't they be talking down to Tachibana Aoden? Should they treat Tachibana Aoden on an equal footing? It's all bullshit!

They are not qualified to talk about the word "equality" with Qingdeng!

In front of Qingdeng, in front of absolute force, they are just a group of bugs that can be easily crushed!

Because the "beliefs they upheld" were ruthlessly shattered, the faces of the "radicals" are now the ugliest, as if they were walking zombies.

Looking at the majestic Shinsengumi officers, looking at Ayase Taichi and others who were like bereaved dogs, the soldiers and civilians on both sides of the street stared blankly, as if they had witnessed an unbelievable scene, and everyone turned into clay and wood sculptures.

quiet……

Silence filled the place.
