"Do you have any last words? If so, it's best to say them quickly now, otherwise you won't have this opportunity in a while."
As Shuten Doji spoke, he filled up the three wine glasses in front of him.
Master Umibo shook his head:
"I have nothing to say."
Su Nuo said softly:
"Me too."
At this time, Katsura Kogoro's voice suddenly came from the side:
"Shuten Doji, what are you doing?"
Shuten Doji turned his head and looked at Katsura Kogoro who was walking towards him following the sound.
Katsura Kogoro looked at the three of them, and then looked at the three wine glasses filled with wine in front of them.
Drinking on the battlefield... there is only one explanation Katsura Kogoro can think of.
He hesitated for a moment and looked puzzled:
"Are you... drinking Zhuangxingjiu?"
Shuten Doji shrugged:
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Katsura Kogoro asked:
"Are you planning to go out into battle?"
"Yes, that's wrong. What we are going to do next is not an ordinary 'going into battle'."
Having said this, Shuten-douji turned his head and looked at the majestic Edo Castle not far away.
"Guijun, you must have noticed it too, right?"
"The life-burning attack by the 'Sword Master' and his team caused us to lose a lot of troops, and our morale was also greatly affected."
"With this greatly reduced combat capability, even if we finally succeed in capturing Edo Castle, we don't know how long it will take."
"Both our side and the curtain side are exhausted now."
"The war situation is at this point, and the battle now is which side has more perseverance."
"We must speed up and not waste even a second."
"Once the time is extended, I really don't know how many variables will be added."
"In this case, it would be better to take advantage of the fact that most of the defenders of Edo Castle are fighting fiercely with Sannomaru and our troops, and send out small and capable troops to directly cross Sannomaru and defeat Ninomaru and Ninomaru in one fell swoop.
Honmaru!”
After hearing this, Katsura Kogoro suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.
"Shuten Doji, you...!"
His eyes passed over the faces of Shuten Doji, Su Nuo and Umibozu in sequence.
Shuten Doji smiled slightly:
"With the power of three people, we will create the history of 'capture Edo Castle' for the first time!"
"This is our 'final plan'."
"When the war situation reaches a stalemate and the troops under our command are no longer able to make progress, we rely on our personal strength to open up the situation."
Su Nuo on the side interjected:
"Originally, we were going to add Niu Gui and Nu Nu. Unfortunately, things went against our expectations and they left us prematurely."
"..."
Katsura Kogoro pursed his lips and said nothing, looking back and forth at Shuten Doji and the others with a complicated expression.
After a while, he said in a low voice:
"... Count me in."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and caressed Muramasa on his waist.
"I guess I don't need to explain my strength."
"With my help, your chances of winning will be greatly increased."
Although this "final plan" of Shuten Doji and others is reckless, it is not impossible.
In fact, Katsura Kogoro is also aware of the anxiety of the current war situation.
Taking advantage of the fact that most of the defenders of Edo Castle were attracted to Sannomaru, they sent an elite special force to penetrate directly into the heart of Edo Castle... This might be a clever plan to reverse the situation of the war!
After explaining his determination in concise language, Katsura Kogoro took out a "Decisive Battle of Yodo" from his arms.
Looking at the red pill in his hand, a dark color appeared on his cheeks.
He always carries this "Decisive Battle" with him.
The purpose is to use it at the "most critical moment".
And now, this "most critical moment" has arrived!
Faced with Katsura Kogoro's initiative to invite him, Shuten Doji responded without hesitation - he looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard some interesting joke.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Guijun, I appreciate your bravery."
"But you'd better stay here obediently."
When Katsura Kogoro heard this, he immediately frowned with a puzzled look on his face:
"Why? Do you think I will hold you back?"
Shuten Doji shook his head and explained patiently:
"Guijun, you misunderstood."
"I'm not looking down on you."
"Honestly, if conditions permit, I would be happy to fight alongside you."
"Who would think that there are too many reliable comrades by his side?"
"It's just that it's too early for you to die here."
Having said this, he turned his head and raised his chin towards Su Nuo and Haifangzhu beside him.
"Those of us, after we stormed Noo and embarked on the eastward expedition to Edo, we had no intention of returning home alive."
"To put it bluntly, our lives are not so valuable that we should never die."
"As long as we can successfully kill Tokugawa Iemo, even if it requires the sacrifice of all of us, it will be worth it."
Neither Su Nuo nor Umibozu showed any disgust at Shuten Douji's words.
They remained expressionless and silent, acquiescing to Shuten Douji's statement.
Shuten Doji's words continued:
"Anyway, Orochi-sama, Tamamoae-sama, and Otakemaru-sama are all still alive, and the Hōzū Party will not die because of our deaths."
"Although the vitality will be severely damaged, it will not completely stop."
"But you are different."
"Now, you are the last leader left in the Choshu Domain who can convince the public."
"The life and death of Shinsaku Takasugi is unknown... maybe he is dead now."
"If you even have any accidents, then Changzhou will fall into the situation where there is no head of the dragons."
"For the future, let you die late for a while, and you can get more value."
After the words, Jiutong took a half step in the front and patted Gui Kogoro's shoulder.
"Gui Jun, live well."
"I dare to be determined, the next changes in the world will be wonderful!"
"Gui Jun, I don’t know if you thought about it carefully. If the Tokugawa family is dead, what will happen to the situation in the world?"
"What do you think we have done so hard, and even paying the lives of multiple cadres at the expense, we must also conquer Tokugawa Mao?"
I did not wait for Gui Xiaogoro to respond, and Jiutao boy went down and said:
"Only by killing Tokugawa Kaimao can it evoke the ambition of‘ those guys ’!”
When it comes to the "those guys", Jiutao boy specially aggravated his tone, and his expression became intriguing.
Facing the persuasion of Jiutong Toy, Gui Xiaowan was in place, and he was strongly stretched back and forth between his cheeks.
Xu Yan, he made a decision -the hand on the handle slowly put it down.
Seeing this, Jiu Tao's boy smiled slightly:
"Very good, thank you for your understanding."
"After we rushed into Edo City, this array was given to you."
"The 'Slavic Legion' is useless."
"I have ordered them to" fight offensive, not to retreat ', and don't need you to worry about them. "
"You concentrate on managing your Majesty's Strange Soldiers."
"Follow the situation on the battlefield at all times."
"Once you feel that‘ can be withdrawn ’or‘ the situation is wrong ’, you will take the Qi Bing team to retreat from Zhongshan Street or Sunshine Street in time."
Gui Xiaogoro nodded hard:
"Well, I understand."
In this way, the two ended a brief dialogue.
Gui Xiaogo retreated silently.
Jiutong Toy turned his head to look at the owner of Su Shi and Haifang:
"Have you all got wine?"
Su Shi Answer:
"Well, all got it."
Jiutong boy nodded with a smile:
"Very good! So it is not too late, come and drink the last glass of bar in this life!"
The three stood into a "grade" type, facing each other, and the three wine glasses were lifted in the air, and the wine inside was full.
Cold, the owner of the Haifang said quietly:
"Drink like this, I feel strange."
Su Shi disagreelessly damaged:
"How? Do you want to invite ten eight geishas to play the piano and play for us?"
The owner of the Haifang towered:
"If there are really ten eight ge mesas here, it is not possible."
At this time, Jiutong boy took the words:
"The owner of the Haifang said it well, just raising it to drink like this, it is too boring."
He stopped, and then made a suggestion:
"Let's sing" Dunsheng "."
Su Yan picked his eyebrows:
"" Dunsheng "? You want to imitate Oda Nobunaga."
Jiutong boy changed the jokes of the upper half of the joke:
"Why not? If you can successfully imitate Oda Nobunaga, it is really better."
"Dunsheng" is a famous "Fortunately Dance" of traditional Japanese drama.
At the end of the Ping An era, the two major samurai clan started a special death war in the source, and the history was called "Yuanping combat".
Ping's weakness to compete with powerful Genji, gradually defeated.
In the three years of Shouyong (1184), the famous "One Valley Battle" broke out.
Ping's young general Pingtun died in this campaign, only 16 years old.
Pingtun Sheng is a beautiful young man with a beautiful and beautiful appearance. He looks gorgeous, versatile, especially deep music. He is good at blowing the flute.
According to legend, even the enemy generals are convinced of his beauty.
As we all know, people who look good can always be treated.
People are sympathetic to this beautiful boy who died at a young age.
As a result, his tragedy story is widely circulated, and it is adapted and absorbed by multiple literary and artistic forms including poetry, novels, and opera.
Time has passed, and later generations have gradually circulated the name of "Dunsheng".
Talking about "Dunsheng", the most well -known allusions related to it are the barrels of the Warring States Period.
In the three years of Yonglu (1560), "the first bow of Tokaido" Shikawa Yoshiyuan's troops 40,000, the sword refers to Gyeonggi.
Oda Nobunaga's territory -the ending between Tokaido and Gyeonggi -it has become an obstacle on the way to the way of Yoshikawa Yoshikawa.
If the Kawagawa Army wants to go to Luo, we must first destroy the Oda family.
At that time, the troops that the Governor Oda Nobunaga could mobilize was less than 2000.
The disparate troops are poor ... Ichikawa Yoshiyuan does not take Oda Nobunaga at all.
In order to win, Oda Nobunaga decided to go to the front -the strange attack of the Kawagawa Army! Murder Kawagawa Yoshiyuan!
Before the battle, he jumped a "Dunsheng" alone and sang the famous sentence in the chanting: "For fifty years of life, compared with the heaven and earth for a long time, it is like a dream and fantasy;
"
After dancing, he jumped into the whip, and he was a soldier.
Since then, "Xin Changsheng" "Dunsheng" has become an eternal beauty talk.
"Dunsheng" is therefore a little more mythical.
Before going to the battlefield of life, singing "Dunsheng" ... This is indeed a good intention.
Su Shi is a little thought:
"... Okay. But I said hello first, I don’t know how to sing."
Haifang Lord Entry Road:
"I don't know singing."
Jiu Tong boy smiled slightly:
"Let me sing."
The owner of Haifang voted at him with surprise.
"Swallow the boy, do you want to sing?"
"Oh? Haifang owner, have you forgotten? Before joining the French party, I was a kabuki."
[Note · 音 音 (Yin Tongpai) You: Artists who use music and dance harmonious drama in ancient times]
When mentioning his past life, a touch of darkness flashed in the eyes of Ji Tong, as if thinking of any sad memories.
After a little calm, he took a deep breath and cleared his throat.
Suddenly, he seemed to change his personal, and the aura mutations.
The expression became solemn, and even the eyes became very different.
After a while, but seeing his lips gently, a melodious singing voice from his throat
"Fifty years of life,
"Compared with the heavens and the earth for a long time,
"Dreams are like fantasy;
"Those who have giving birth for a while, is there an immortal person?"
Yu Yin wrapped around the beam, listening to it without losing his breath ... It is not difficult to hear that he has a very solid singing skills, not a layman.
Maybe it was infected by this song.
The next time the singing fell, the three of them handed over the wine glasses in their hands.
With a bang, the three wine glasses collided into the air heavily, splashing a lot of wine.
After touching the cup, the three of them drank the drinks in the glass well, and then threw the empty wine glass on the feet heavily! The fragments of the three wine glasses splashed the ground!
"Su Shi, Haifang owner, let's go!"
Jiutong wiped his mouth, stepped forward, and slowly pulled out the header around his waist.
Looking at the Edo City in front of me, Jiutong's boy condensed one word by word:
"Make every inch of Edo City full of blood!"
Nympho
Nympho
Edo City, Sanzhuan ——
"Don't panic! Look! The enemy is lacking! Now the perseverance is perseverance!"
Shimada Kui carefully observed the battlefield details with a knife, and issued accurate instructions from time to time.
On the way back to Jianghu City, Shimada woke up.
As soon as he recovered his consciousness, he struggled to get up and returned to the battlefield, completely ignoring his injuries.
However, he was unable to come to the front line, and he could only stay in the back to press the array.
The Ministry of Defense Forces of Akasaka Yumen and the defenders in Edo City co -soldiers to block the enemy.
With the extremely subtle urban defense system of Edo City, they successfully blocked the enemy's attack.
The two armies were very anxious, it was difficult to distinguish ...
When Shimada saw this, he secretly cheered himself in his heart:
——The can do ...! As long as there is no accident, we can drag the enemy forces ...!
Judging from the current situation, it will definitely take a lot of effort for the enemy to capture Sannomaru.
Even if Sannomaru falls in the end, it doesn't matter.
After all, if Sannomaru falls, there will still be Ninomaru, and if Ninomaru falls, there will still be Honmaru... It's like picking an onion, one layer inside another.
Shimada Kui and others can block the attack at all levels and consume the enemy to death!
As long as there are no accidents, it will not be a problem to hold on for several days!
The material reserves in Edo Castle are absolutely sufficient.
Shimada Kui was full of confidence... However, he ignored a truth in the world.
In life, "no accidents" are rare, and "no accidents, no accidents" are the norm.
Suddenly, Kui Shimada saw three figures running towards him from a distance.
In seconds, the three men approached the front line of the battlefield and waved away their weapons.
In an instant, blood flew like a sudden rain!
The sudden attack by Shuten Doji and others caused heavy casualties to the defenders.
The effects of Su Nuo and Umibozu's "Decisive Battle on the Lake" have not yet worn off.
In this way, their offensive is naturally unstoppable!
In just a moment, they rushed into the depths of the battlefield and were about to break through the defenders' defense line.
This scene and this situation caused Shimada Kui's expression to change drastically:
"Stop them!"
If he hadn't been seriously injured and his body was out of control, he would have stepped forward to intercept him by now.
Even without his order, the defenders spontaneously stepped forward and tried to intercept Shuten Doji and others.
Unfortunately...their efforts are destined to be in vain.
Their obstruction is like an ice cube hitting magma - it disappears in the blink of an eye.
No matter how hard Shimada Kui and others tried, they could only watch as Shuten Douji and others broke through their defenses!
After defeating the defenders' layers of obstruction, the three men continued to move forward without any hesitation, and regardless of the friendly forces behind them who were still fighting fiercely! Heading towards the depths of Edo Castle!
Seeing Shuten Douji and the others getting further and further away and having difficulty catching up, Shimada Kui was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to do so - the large number of enemy forces in front of him had not yet been dealt with, and he could not spare any troops to come back for reinforcements now!
…
…
Edo Castle, Ninomaru——
Sannomaru's defenders concentrated on the front line to block the enemy.
For this reason, Sannomaru's internal defense is extremely empty.
Shuten Doji and others effortlessly overran Sannomaru and advanced to Ninomaru.
After arriving at Ninomaru, the area around them immediately became "busy".
"What's going on with these three people?!"
"What are those guys guarding Sannomaru doing?! How did the enemy escape?!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Come and attack!"
"Mom, mom!"
The main force guarding Edo Castle is the famous "Sanban Group", namely the "Little Surname Group", "Shoin Group", and "Daifan Group".
These three troops can be regarded as the personal guards of the general who conquered the barbarians. Their members were only selected from the higher-ranking banners. Their daily task was to guard Edo Castle and act as a guard of honor when the general traveled.
When it comes to loyalty and combat power, the "Third Division" is better than the ordinary direct ginseng... Of course, it's only slightly better.
Seeing Shuten Doji and others attacking, Ninomaru's defenders picked up their weapons and stepped forward to attack.
Looking at the soldiers of the "Third Division" attacking from all directions, Shuten Doji let out a hissing breath, and then slowly raised the sword in his hand——
…
…
Edo Castle, Sannomaru——
Shuten Doji and others came and left suddenly.
Although they have left, their participation in the battle has greatly boosted the enemy's morale.
The already fierce battle situation became even more intense.
——Oops... we can't let those three people get close to Honmaru...!
Shimada Kui didn't know Shuten-dōji, he only recognized Su Nuo and Umibozu - he had fought against these two people during the offensive and defensive battle of Hachioji.
On the surface, only three people invaded Edo Castle, which didn't seem to be a big problem.
But Shimada Kui's intuition told him: These three people must be stopped! Especially the handsome young man wearing big armor!
Just as Shimada Kui was racking his brains and thinking of countermeasures, a new abnormal noise attracted his attention.
I saw three more figures appearing in the distance—outside Edo Castle.
They were three young men with knives in their hands.
As these three young men appeared, Shimada Kui heard excited shouts from beside him:
"It's the swordsmen of the Chiba family!"
