Chapter 43: The Stratagem of Hijikata
"Natural Rational Flow, Hijikata Suisan, please advise!"
The deputy head of the Shinsengumi stepped forward, saluted, drew his sword, and started fighting without hesitation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Despicable!"
"Villain!"
"I actually took advantage of the injury to do it!"
"Shameless wheel war!"
The onlookers scolded one after another, and many members of the Shinsengumi lowered their heads in shame, but Hijikata did not waver in the slightest and continued to attack.
He knew that his swordsmanship was not good, because he only started learning swordsmanship at the age of seventeen.
He came from a peasant family, a commoner, and he was the youngest of six siblings. Before he was born, his father died, and when he was six years old, his mother also died, and he was raised by his second brother and his wife.
Poverty and embarrassment are the main themes of his life, but he has not become numb, on the contrary, he has always had his own ideas, often maverick.
At the age of 11, he worked as an apprentice at the Matsuzaya kimono shop, but he was fired due to a dispute with his seniors, and later worked at a kimono shop in Denmacho, Edo, and left in anger due to a disagreement with his boss.
At this time, he was already seventeen years old, and in order to make a living, he could only use the family medicine "Ishida Sanyao" to travel around the country. First, because most of the customers of the wound medicine were kendo gyms, he learned swordsmanship in order to be able to protect himself on the road. Later, by chance, he got acquainted with Isamu Kondo, and he officially became an introductory disciple of the natural flow of reason.
He doesn't like swords, and swordsmanship is just a way to survive in troubled times.
If you don't treat it sincerely, how can you be treated sincerely.
His swordsmanship is congenitally insufficient!
He still has this self-knowledge.
But even so, his swordsmanship, in the Shinsengumi, is second only to Okita Soji.
Because, he has a seven-trick exquisite heart to fill in the shortcomings.
He has always played the role of a strategic advisor in the Shinsengumi, whether it is the "August 18 Incident" or the "Ikedaya Incident", his advice is indispensable.
Although the leader of the Shinsengumi is Isamu Kondo, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the soul of the Shinsengumi who makes the Shinsengumi strong!
Ordinary people use their arms to swing their swords, but he uses his brain.
"Your sword, it's so strange!" Yingluo also noticed the difference.
If the new eight of Nagakura just now was a fire that burned everything, then Hijikata Suizo was a lingering net. Each of his moves is ordinary, but they are interlocking together, and they become flawless, so that people can't help but follow his rhythm, and then they are firmly wrapped and slaughtered.
It's like a spider in the corner, laying a web of heaven and earth, waiting for the prey to come to the door.
Among the ten moves of Yingluo, there is one move on defense.
For the Flying Sword Stream, once defended, it means falling into a bitter battle. After all, on the battlefield, if you can't kill with one hit, you may be killed by the enemy with one hit.
The battle situation is unfavorable!
Even though she has started to defend, the last game against Shinpachi Nagakura not only consumed a lot of Yingluo's physical strength, but also injured her left arm, both of which greatly affected her state, and as a result, she was almost cut off by the opponent's sword when she was not careful.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, she hurriedly took a step back, so that she could dodge. I touched my neck with my hand, but it was bloody.
Good fellow, you walked before the ghost gate closed!
It was the first time that Yingluo had been forced to retreat, and her heart was beating violently, not panicking, but extremely excited.
"It's really a terrible swordsmanship, worthy of the famous Mibu wolf!"
Hijikata was expressionless, but after all, he didn't attack, but stopped and asked, "So, do you want to surrender?"
Yingluo chuckled: "What are you kidding! Your swordsmanship is good, but there is too much thought in it, I don't like it!"
"Hmph, what if you don't like it?"
Yingluo licked his lips: "If you don't like it, you can defeat it!"
As soon as the words fell, she hurried forward.
"Dying and struggling!" Hijikata was still calm, unleashing his unique swordsmanship once again, constructing an invisible giant web.
The two fought again.
Yingluo didn't defend this time, but attacked with all his might.
No matter how big the net is, it is also made up of silk threads, and in this case, I will cut it all off for you!
No one could retreat from the attack of the Flying Swordstream, not even Hijikata Suizo.
Scars appeared on his body, although they were all minor injuries, but his sword momentum was a little slower, and the net could not be formed for a long time.
But he was not discouraged, not arrogant or impatient, as if it was not him who was covered in blood, and he still followed the steps, waving one silk thread after another.
It's slow, but it's steady.
Yingluo also added a few wounds, but she was also unwavering, cutting the huge net one by one.
The two seem to be in a match.
In the end, the net of the third year of the earthwork was completed first.
It was Yingluo who cut all the silk threads first.
Carry somebody away!
Sojiro was worried, and everyone could see that Eiro was tired.
Yes, for the first time since she was rescued by Bigu and learned swordsmanship, she felt tired.
Fight with the masters, and you have to play with the spirit of twelve points at all times.
Not only is the physical exertion huge, but also the mental exhaustion.
Her breathing grew heavier, and her long hair was stuck to her forehead with sweat.
All this was expected by Hijikata Suizo.
The order in which the four played was arranged by him.
First of all, Yongcang Xinba, and only the first in actual combat can be qualified to attack Yingluo, who is in good condition, and it is normal to lose, and it is even more unexpected to hurt the opponent's left arm.
And then there is himself, not to win, but to further drain Yingluo's energy. As he said before, his swordsmanship cannot defeat a real swordsman.
Next is Isamu Kondo, and finally Ichi Saito.
Everyone has an irreplaceable role, and the order is even more deliberate.
So far, so good.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Even if he agrees with what Eiroku has done in his heart, he will kill him mercilessly for the sake of the future of the Shinsengumi!
"You're distracted!" Yingluo said, slashing three times in a row, and the three years of Hijikata were in a hurry.
But it didn't help.
Because the "net" has been formed!
There were a few more wounds on Hijikata's body, but he didn't care, but he sneered and said, "You're slow." ”
Ying Luo surprisingly did not refute, a little unwilling, but more regretful. She nodded and generously admitted: "Yes, I'm slow, lose your move." ”
In terms of layout, she is always one step slower than the other party.
"One move?" Hijikata shook his head: "It's a whole game to lose!" As the words landed, his sword momentum changed violently, and the giant net began to shrink.
"Look how you escape!" He still has a backhand, but if he can win at this moment, it will be great.
The sword light was added, but Yingluo didn't move at all, like a flying insect stuck to a spider's web.
"Don't!"
"Stop!"
"Run!"
The people exclaimed, and Sojiro was even more frightened, trying to stop it, but found that he could not do anything.
I'm too slow, if I can be faster, I can ......
What can it be?
Before the following words could come to his mind, a fresh breeze gently brushed his face.
"Your net can't trap the dragon!"
Hijikata Suizo felt a chill for no reason.
The chrysanthemum text suddenly lit up with a brilliant light.
"Hydra Flash!"
The monstrous dragon roared out, easily tearing the net to shreds, and then rushing towards it with an irresistible force.
Hijikata's eyes widened: "What!?"
One two three Wu Lu Qi Jiu!
"Wow!" he was knocked out in an instant, vomiting blood in the air, and then crashed straight into the low wall of the street, and the bricks and stones crackled on him, bringing up a large cloud of dust.
"Whew, whew!" Yingluo gasped, this move was still not easy for her, especially now that her physical strength was consumed, but was it an illusion, it seemed to be easier than the time against Zhi Zhixiong?
There was silence at the scene, and even the people who didn't know how to do swordsmanship could see the extraordinary nature of this move, let alone the people of the Shinsengumi.
Saitoichi's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, but he couldn't stop trembling: "Really...... Divine skill!"
"Nine swords were cut out in an instant, it is indeed a divine skill that has surpassed the limit!" Kondo Yong also nodded, but there was no trace of fluctuation on his face, but said calmly: "But such a divine skill, with her current physical condition, can she still use it?"
Saito was silent for a moment and replied, "Who knows?"
"yes, who knows?" said Isamu Kondo with great firmness, "Let me test it for you!"
He strode forward, pulled out the famous knife "Nagaso Yatoru Toru", and said to Yingluo, who was still gasping: "Natural Reason Flow, Isamu Kondo, please advise!"
After speaking, without waiting for Yingluo to speak, he slashed over, sinking vigorously, and there was no way to avoid it!
The chrysanthemum text collides with it, rubbing out a bright spark.
A strong surge came, Yingluo couldn't resist it, his left leg was weak, he half-knelt down, and a crack broke out on the ground.
Isamu Kondo, superb swordsmanship, and ......
Titanic!
