Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

It is March [-]th in the fourth year of Qingying.

After receiving the news that Kofu had been preemptively occupied by the new government forces, the Shinsengumi was forced to set up camp in Katsunuma, six miles away from Kofu.

Everyone's face is serious.

Kondo frowned deeply, and Hijikata punched hard on the body of a cannon.

"It's all because they were waiting for the shogun...and never brought this thing over! If one day earlier...the ones who entered Kofu earlier would be us!!"

Liu Quan stood beside him, silent.

Although they spent the night stationed near Tama on the way, the Shinsengumi—no, it’s now called "Koyo Zhenfu Brigade"; she doubts why Katsu Kaishu gave the Shinsengumi this name of a passer-by— ——The marching speed along the way is actually not slow. It is calculated that the speed of marching on the rugged mountain road is close to [-] kilometers every day, and it is necessary to carry artillery and luggage at the same time. For the newly recruited cooperative fighters, it is already very difficult.

Saito came around from the mountain road on the other side, and reported to the local in a concise manner: "I have made a clear inquiry. Kofu Castle Sato Suruga has surrendered to the new government army. The vanguard of the new government army has entered Kofu Castle. There are about six and a half infantry squads, two artillery squads, a total of nearly a thousand people, and nine artillery pieces."

Kondo: "..."

Earthwork: "..."

Shinpachi and Harada looked at each other, with unconcealable anxiety showing on their faces.

"There are only 300 people on our side... less than 70 of them are members of the original Shinsengumi! There are only two mountain cannons! They were sent when it was too late for the expedition!!" Shinpachi said angrily, "That Mamoru Abu...do you really want our Shinsengumi to take down Kofu?! Still uneasy and kind, want our Shinsengumi not to go back?!"

Those last two questions were too heavy a word.Kondo and Hijikata shouted at the same time: "Yongcang-kun!"

Shinpachi did not stop his questioning of the shogunate and Katsu Kaishu's words.

"Also—a good Shinsengumi...the name must be changed to 'Jiayang Zhenfu Team'! Obviously the Shinsengumi has already made a name for itself, and how many people who came to join us are all for this loud If you really want to trust us and rely on us to continue to fight hard, you shouldn’t change this name that can gather people with lofty ideals! Lord An Fangshou went to see Mr. Kondo and Mr. Hijikata His attitude was also very strange, right?! Is this what he looks like to a soldier who wants to loyally fight to the death for the General?!"

Kondo was silent.Harada was also silent.Saito was originally very silent.Only Tufang shouted loudly:

"New Eight!!"

Harada also pulled Shinpachi at the same time, and Shinpachi reluctantly shut up as if unconvinced.

After stopping Shinpachi's complaints, Hijikata's face darkened, and he rarely sighed in front of the cadres.

"It's useless to say these things now. What we should think about is how to deploy and fight this battle well." He said solemnly, "Those big men...they have their ideas, but we also have our own. Thoughts. It doesn’t matter if you are called a traitor, or you are not valued by the big shots in the shogunate! Isn’t that how we got here along the way?! From the very beginning, we were called a murderous group from the countryside, and we don’t deserve to be Warriors...but now! No matter what others say, we are standing here as warriors!"

He took a deep breath.

"It doesn't matter whether you say we are traitors, country people, or not being taken seriously... In order to clarify ourselves, there is no other way but to fight."

He scanned everyone present with scorching eyes, and his deep voice seemed to carry a fiery determination.

For a moment, everyone seemed to be shocked by such determination, and none of the people present made a sound.

Then, the earthwork began to plan quickly.

"We can't lose the battle here. We must seek reinforcements in Edo Castle as soon as possible. There is still a ready-made army there that can be dispatched immediately, but if anyone else makes a request, they will be despised by those big men... Then I will go. In addition, there is also a team called Caiye team active in Tama, which can also be borrowed... I must contact Tama again when I pass by Tama..."

While looking at the nearby terrain, Tufang swiped his finger across the map, quickly assigning tasks.

"The main formation should be here at the Kashiwabi Bridge, and the artillery team will also stay...Saito, you go to the Kannonzaka in the north. Nagakura-kun, you are in charge of the defense of the Iwasaki Mountain area on the south... between Iwasaki Mountain and Kashiwa Mountain This canyon in the middle will be defended by the Kasuga team. Harada, you also stay here in this formation, and you must defend yourself against the enemy coming from the front."

This kind of force distribution plan is already the best choice that can be made at this stage, and no one has any objections.

Tufang raised his gaze from the map, looked at the mountains in the distance, and frowned.

Kondo seemed to remember something, turned to Saito and said:

"Oh, by the way, Saito-kun, you go to send orders to the soldiers first. Just say that we have received [-] reinforcements from the Aizu Domain, and they will arrive soon. Otherwise, the army will be unstable in the face of a strong enemy. It is impossible to stop this situation of fleeing before the battle."

Saito replied calmly: "Understood!"

Shinba was taken aback, "Aizu Domain's...reinforcements?"

Harada asked without much hope: "Will it really come? When will it arrive?"

Kondo laughed boldly.

"It should be soon... You have to trust the Lord Aizu! Anyway, the Lord Aizu has been kind to us. Without his appreciation and support, we would not be able to make a name for ourselves in Kyoto..."

Shinpachi muttered: "Well, that's true... Lord Aizu is indeed much more reliable than other big figures in the shogunate..."

After a simple agreement, everyone dispersed, and each went to assign tasks to his subordinates and head to the predetermined position.

The first team was also assigned to the main formation here at the Kashiwabi Bridge, but Harada took the initiative to undertake the work of arranging tasks and garrison locations for the team members.

Liu Quan blinked his eyes as if he couldn't react for a moment.

Harada smiled and waved to her, "Yukiha will be responsible for seeing off Mr. Hijikata. I'm here. You can come back later."

Liu Quan: ... Zuo Zhijun, you are always so considerate. At this time, you still don't forget to create every possible opportunity to assist others in their love journey. It's really touching...

Of course Hijikata also heard what Harada said.He gave a sharp "tss", but did not express any objection.

So Liu Quan walked with him to the back of the main camp, and walked up the rugged mountain road leading to Edo.

The two of them were silent all the way.In the end, Tu Fang stopped and said to Liu Quan, "Let's go here. I will come back as soon as possible."

Liu Quan nodded, but didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, as the acting leader of Ichiban-gumi, it is impossible for me to leave Ichiban-gumi and follow Hijikata back to Edo for help.If she had chosen this way, then the deputy chief's favorability would probably have come to an end—but for the first time in the face of this almost inevitable war, she also felt a sense of bewilderment.

"Be careful on the road... Mr. Hijikata is alone," she said in a relaxed tone. "Until Mr. Hijikata comes back, I will try my best to defend this place."

Tufang didn't smile, but frowned slightly.

"I've said it all, don't just focus on working hard, talk about death...you've forgotten after only a few days?!" He said with a displeased face.

"This is not death. I didn't give you an order to die, so don't do stupid things!... Do you understand?!" He raised his voice slightly, and his tone was full of courage.

Liu Quan:? !

A look of astonishment appeared on her face for a moment.

As if dissatisfied with her reaction, Hijikata said in an orderly tone: "I now order you to serve as Mr. Kondo's guard. You have to lead a team and guard near the chief to assist him."

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied seriously: "Yes!"

The awe-inspiring expression of being an outstanding member of the Shinsengumi reappeared on her face, as if the previous wavering was just an illusion.However, Hijikata's expression did not relax.

"There is one more condition." He was silent for a moment, then said harshly.

"You, absolutely must not die."

Liu Quan:! ! !

"Mr. Hijikata?!" She blurted out for a moment, using a tone of surprise and doubt.

Hijikata's eyes drifted from her face to behind them, looking in the direction of Kofu Castle from a distance.

"The opponent this time is Sa Changjun. They have been well trained in modern tactics. It is impossible for us to win. From the perspective of numbers, firepower, and tactics, we are at an absolute disadvantage." He said calmly ground analysis.

Then, his gaze turned to Liu Quan.

"I will come back as soon as possible. If something happens before I come back, you and Saito will protect Kondo-kun and escape together."

Liu Quan:? !

Seeing her face full of question marks, he seemed a little depressed for a moment, and then a little helpless, and suddenly ordered to her: "Pull out your knife!"

Liu Quan felt that his head was full of question marks.

What kind of knife to draw? This command easily reminded her of another person—another, a man who was already in another world?

And why did you suddenly draw your sword? The enemy hasn't attacked yet?Is the deputy chief going to duel with her here? !

However, the deputy chief probably had his own intentions. Liu Quan slowly pulled his [Mass-produced Longquan Sword] out of the scabbard about a third of its length, trying to figure it out. The real intention of the earthwork.

Hijikata backhanded his favorite sword "Izumi Mori Kanesada" from his belt, and pulled it out of the scabbard, and lightly touched the exposed blade with the blade of the treasured sword in Yanagi Izumi's hand.

Metal and iron collided, making a crisp sound.

"It's 'strike the gold,'" he said. "That's what warriors do when they take an oath."

Liu Quan was stunned.

Seeing her dumbfounded face that was greatly shocked, Hijikata suddenly raised the corners of his lips into a smile.

"Although you and I are not real warriors, you might as well imitate this when making an oath."

For the first time, there was no self-mockery or resentment in his tone when he mentioned that he was not a real samurai.

"Make... what oath?!" Liu Quan's voice stammered.

...Deputy Commander, it's easy to make people think wrong, isn't it!It is really inappropriate to think wildly when the war is imminent, it will make it difficult for people to concentrate on fighting the enemy! !

However, the vice-chief, whose thinking was not as complicated as Liu Quan's in this regard, smiled frankly.

"I will definitely come back. You also have to live to see me. No one is allowed to die."

His slightly deep voice seemed to vibrate in her ears, bombarding her chest and heart.

"This is the oath."

In an instant, without warning, a violent sourness swept across Liu Quan's facial features and consciousness.Tears rushed into her eyes almost quickly, she had to clenched her teeth and tried her best to hold back the weak tears.

"...I, I understand." She stammered uncontrollably, feeling her throat tight with tears welling up.

"If anything happens... I will definitely take Mr. Kondo away from the battlefield safely and meet with Mr. Hijikata again." She said word by word.

"I will definitely live too... Even when everyone is desperate, I have to work hard to live. Because I have an appointment with Hijikata-san..."

Because, someone once said before, this is my virtue.

The author has something to say:

February 4:

It is said that when I am sick, I want to comfort myself, and when I comfort myself, I want to buy things indiscriminately [No

So I gritted my teeth and bought the figure of the deputy chief [exposing the fact that the author Jun is a house girl]

However, when it arrived, the assistant chief's bojin belt fell off. . .The author is a manual waste, how can it be perfectly repaired [crying]

Speaking of it, I always feel that the sub-long line CG of the main game has almost collapsed by [-]%. . .Although the number is the largest, there are not many good-looking ones [no

This CG that strikes gold as an oath is very emotional, so I posted it to share with the little angels who use computers to read the text~~

This is it:
