Rustle!

A group of redcoats was on a rapid march.

Red flowers on a white background, embroidered with a red moon on the back, is a blood moon!

The black-haired young man at the head is none other than Harita, and the burly man with the giant Notai knife on his side is one of the Blood Moon cadres known as the "Ghost Slash" - Yuichiro Higashi!

"How long will it take to get to the meeting point?" asked Harita as she turned her head as she ran. Although he was on a rapid march, his breath was not disturbed in the slightest.

"Lord Qing, at the current speed, there are still three hours to arrive!" said a red-clothed warrior.

"Hmm," Haruta looked up at the setting sun and waved her hand, "Speed up!"

The direction of the procession is the gateway to the west of Edo, Nishi-Ueno!

That's right!

Their goal is Nishiueno!

Not long ago, in the central battlefield, the heroes and the joint forces of the Celestial Shogunate fought a big battle, although they mobilized several elite troops, as well as a large number of miscellaneous soldiers, but unfortunately, because the Celestial people transferred troops from other battlefields in time, the result was a defeat for both sides!

In this war, the members once reached a thousand blood moons, and the number of people was reduced a lot.

What's more urgent is that Harita judged based on the information in hand and the known plot that the Armageddon was not far off!

At that time, under the pressure of the celestials, the shogunate will designate all the aspirants as rebels in one fell swoop, and the police and troops will search for them all over the country. So, in order to open up the situation, after a series of discussions, Haruta is determined to capture one of the gateways to Edo - Nishi-Ueno!

This action is not only out of some of Harita's past, but also out of practical needs.

In fact, there are several cities in the hands of the Zhiyi Zhizhi, but these cities are either small in population or remote. Aside from being a logistics base, it is of little use to the big picture.

In Gintama's anime, Edo has the largest population, the strongest samurai, and the most advanced ideas and technology. In general, there is no point in war if it cannot threaten Edo!

However, it is a pity that these words cannot be said to others, even if it is his own subordinates, no one except the cadres knows his true thoughts. Warriors are very stubborn, especially those who believe in bushido, and many of them are dead-headed. If you tell him "We're going to lose" or something, maybe he'll cut you down in the next second.

So, this time it's the Blood Moon's solo action!

As she was advancing, Harita raised her head, facing the evening breeze, her eyes narrowed slightly, looking somewhere far away.

Nishi-Ueno, the Takeda family, it's been a long time!

........

Two hours later, somewhere abandoned village.

The abandoned house was dead silent, with the occasional cat's meow tinged with a hint of poignantness.

Rustle!

Two teams drove into the small village.

"Sunny lady!" a hot girl with a katana on her back staggered over. I could see that the eyes of the subordinates behind Qingtai were a little straight.

Tomoko-sama is still ..... Beautiful!

However, as soon as they remembered each other's bad character, they consciously turned their heads. I guess the leader will be able to restrain this guy!

"It's Tomoko, have you all arrived?" Haruma nodded and motioned for everyone to go and rest.

"Well, it's all here, and the personnel located in Nishiueno have also been arranged, just wait for the general attack to begin!" Minami Shintomoko nodded, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Yuichiro on the side, "Hey, I said Yuichiro, you didn't make trouble for Haruma, right?"

"Cut! you think it's you?" the burly Yuichiro Higashi's side looked like a hill. At this time, his face was a little embarrassed.

In the team of the Blood Moon, Yuichiro Higashi is most afraid of Minami Shin Tomoko. And what's even more interesting is that Minami Machiko likes to find his fault the most. As for the reason, it will be kept secret for the time being.

"Chief. At this time, a middle-aged man with a fine cigarette stick walked over, he looked like he was about thirty years old, he always had a smile on his face, and he had the feeling of an uncle next door.

The brains of the blood moon - Hiroyuki Murakami!

"Well, let's start the meeting when we're all here!" said Haruma slowly as she looked at the people present.

The team of Blood Moon was established after he was hunted down by the shogunate and the Takeda clan, and almost all the personnel were personally checked by him, especially the three captains - Hiroyuki Murakami, Yuichiro Higashi, and Minami Matomoko!

They are not just subordinates, they are family!

..........

In a tent, the leaders of the Blood Moon gathered. In the middle is a table with a map of Nishi-Ueno. The map is densely marked with the surrounding terrain and their respective forces.

In this day and age, things like maps are precious. Although the celestial beings have been on Earth for many years, it is a pity that the productivity of the earthlings does not seem to have improved much.

At Harita's motion, Hiroyuki Murakami stood up.

He is the brains of the Blood Moon and is responsible for giving advice. Of course, the general direction is still determined by Qingtai.

"Look, everyone, this is Nishi-Ueno. Hiroyuki Murakami pointed to a castle on the map with a cigarette stick, and said, "Nishi-Ueno belongs to the Takeda clan, and according to reliable information, the opponent's strength is about 2,000, but they are all miscellaneous soldiers, so there is no need to worry." ”

He knocked heavily on a place on the map, "The point is the castle of the Takeda clan, it is tall and strong, and there are elite warriors of the Takeda clan inside, if we can't storm the castle, even with our troops, we will lose a lot!"

The others frowned when they heard this.

Although all of you here can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, they are all fighting against celestial beings. Storming a city, this kind of thing is simply unthinkable before the arrival of the heavens, let alone any experience.

"Ahem, that's fine. Haruta coughed.

"Huh?" the others looked at Haruta suspiciously.

"There's our people in the castle, and they'll be the first to destroy the castle and open the gates. Harita said with a hint of mystery on her face.

Is it the special unit under the leader's command?" Hiroyuki Murakami thought secretly. He had long heard that in addition to the Blood Moon, the Chieftain also had a special force at his disposal. However, as a subordinate, he can still distinguish his position, so naturally he did not dwell on this issue.

"Then guys, next question!" he continued, pointing in the direction of Edo, "Edo is not too far from Nishi-Ueno, so we must be on guard against reinforcements from the direction of Edo. Luckily, the nearest road from Edo to Nishi-Ueno is only one mountain road, and the rest of the road is very rough, so we just had to stay here. The cigarette stick pointed to a mountain forest.

"Third, after defeating the Takeda clan, we must stabilize the situation! Chief, this is what we need to do!"

Harita nodded and stood up.

"Well, no problem. Then, everyone, let's start issuing combat missions!"

The others also stood up straight, their expressions serious.

"First of all, Tomoko will lead a hundred men to garrison here in case of possible reinforcements from the direction of Edo! If there are not many enemy troops, then destroy them on the spot! If there are many enemy troops, then the main thing is to lure the enemy!" Harita pointed to the mountain road.

"Then, I will lead a large army to attack Nishiueno, and after entering the city, Murakami, you lead the men to stabilize the situation in the city! If anyone takes the opportunity to make trouble, kill them directly! But remember, you are not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately!"

Hiroyuki Murakami nodded.

"Then, the battle in the west has officially begun!" Harita looked at his watch and said, "Rest in place for five hours, and then set off!" I hope that tomorrow when the sun rises, the flag of our blood moon will be hung on the castle of Nishiueno!"

"Yes!"
