I formed the strongest swordsman group

At the moment when the tip of the knife was about to hit Saito Ichi's forehead, Souji used his superb skills to stop the force in time.

The tip of the knife shattered the porcelain bowl, and then hit Saito on the forehead, leaving only a small red spot on his skin.

When it was thrust out, it was as fast as lightning.

After hitting the target, Xu was like a breeze.

He can lift a heavy weight with ease, control the strength as he pleases... Souji's skill can be seen as average

Saito quickly retreated backwards.

After taking five steps back in one breath, he barely managed to stabilize his body.

He raised his hand and touched his bare forehead, which no longer had a porcelain bowl. With a look of regret on his face, he walked off the stage silently.

Saitoichi is equivalent to White's general.

The enemy's general has been recruited, and the morale of the red side has naturally increased.

"Hey! Hey! Oh oh oh!" the cheers kept coming and going.

Although there was no blood on the knife, Souji subconsciously shook the knife to stimulate the blood.

Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she turned back expressionlessly.

It turns out that another general came to our door——

"..."

Serizawa calmed his breathing while dragging the wooden sword in his hand, and walked towards Souji unhurriedly.

"..."

The Souji quietly prepared his sword and prepared to attack.

The soldiers around them retreated consciously to make way.

A straight and spacious avenue suddenly appeared between the two of them.

No greetings, no unnecessary words.

"Drink ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Serizawa Kamo raised the wooden sword in his master's hand and started to move forward, like a charging knight, shouting and running towards the Souji.

The general manager exhaled a breath of air, put his left foot back, stood sideways, tilted his right shoulder toward his opponent, and held the sword in one hand with his right hand, with his free left hand half bent at his waist.

Serizawa first made a cassock chop, then made a reverse cassock chop in the opposite direction, and then added a horizontal chop.

A smooth three-hit combo.

Although the posture assumed by the Souji looks strange, it is actually a flexible posture that is very convenient for movement.

She dodged once, dodged again, and dodged three times, and she effortlessly dodged Serizawa Kamo's combo attacks.

If you have a big move, use it and never make any mistakes - this is Souji's fighting style.

So, the General Secretary saw the right opportunity, took half a step back, opened the distance, raised the tip of the knife, and assumed a calm posture.

Serizawa Kamo is not like Saito Kazuo, who feels as if he is facing a formidable enemy when he sees "the general secretary's calm attitude."

I saw him stepping forward to meet him without hesitation, and there was an "attack for attack"!

In the blink of an eye, Serizawa Kamo, who was desperate for his own safety, had already advanced in front of Souji.

At the same moment, a captivating cold light burst out from Souji's eyes - her arm and the wooden sword in her palm turned into blurry afterimages that were difficult to distinguish.

The secret of nature's inner flow·Ping Qingyan's three stages of suddenness!

Looking at the oncoming knife tip, Serizawa Kamo's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle's eye.

He yelled loudly and flicked Souji's knife away with great difficulty.

But as soon as he flicked the knife with his front foot, Souji with his rear foot pulled the knife back to his hand.

With a chirping sound, there was another explosion in the air.

The second stab is coming!

Serizawa had no choice but to twist his body and reluctantly let Souji's wooden sword pass close to his body.

However, although he defused Souji's second stab, his body posture made it impossible to avoid the next attack.

Sure enough, when the third stab came, the tip of the knife hit him directly in the chest.

Serizawa Duck, who was stabbed to the ground, fell directly onto his back, with countless gold stars flying in front of his eyes.

Before he could recover, a shadow of a knife falling from the sky covered his field of vision - click - and the porcelain bowl on his forehead was shattered.

Ping Qingyan's three-step sudden attack - Souji's most powerful skill.

Most people couldn't even take the first stab from the Souji.

A few masters such as Kondo Isamu, Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Ichi, and Serizawa Kamo can take her second stab.

As for the final third stab... Even Qingto couldn't guarantee that he would be able to take Souji's third stab perfectly.

Aomori keeps getting stronger - and so does Souji.

Souji's swordsmanship talent is 50 times that of ordinary people.

Qingdeng's current swordsmanship talent is 279 times that of ordinary people.

At first glance, Aomori's swordsmanship talent is far superior to that of Souji.

But in fact, this is not how it is calculated.

Only a powerful car body can afford a powerful engine.

Although Qingdeng possesses Yiqi Juechen's swordsmanship talent, his current physical fitness is not enough to fully utilize this heaven-defying talent.

To give a simple example: Qingdeng is now like a 5-liter bottle.

No matter what methods you try, it can only hold 5 liters of water.

Qingdeng must try to expand the "capacity of the bottle" in order to hold more "water".

On the other hand, the General Directorate does not have this problem.

Therefore, although Qingden's growth rate is definitely faster than that of Souji, the current gap between them is not too huge.

If the current Qingteng were to confront the General Secretary's "Ping Qingyan Sandan Su" head-on, the outcome would be hard to say.

Of course, if a few years pass, or if Qingdeng replicates or upgrades some of his awesome talents, the situation will definitely be very different.

Saitoichi and Serizawa Kamo have lost successively.

With all its high-end combat power lost, White has no generals to carry the banner.

The outcome of this exercise is a foregone conclusion.

…

…

When the last white soldier broke the porcelain bowl, cheers from the red soldiers immediately rang out on the training ground.

Although the red team defeated the white team, their victory was hard-won.

Looking around, there were only about 40 Red Army soldiers still standing peacefully on the training ground.

A total of more than 700 troops participated in the "battle", but only about 40 "survivors" were left...

If this was a real battle, it would be a bloody battle to the death!

"Huh...huh...huh...huh...huh..."

Souji took several deep breaths.

After breathing evenly, she raised her head and looked at Qingdeng upstairs.

It's over - she said with her eyes.

Qingdeng nodded lightly and responded with a look that said, "Well, thank you for your hard work."

Then, he turned sideways and reported to Tokugawa Iemo in a polite manner:

"Your Highness, the drill is complete."

"..."

Tokugawa Iemo did not answer the call.

He... no, it should be said that everyone on the watchtower, one by one, was speechless.

For this reason, it was eerily quiet upstairs, and you could really hear a pin drop.

Although the exercise has ended, everyone including Tokugawa Iemo and Tenzouin are still immersed in the fierce fighting and unable to extricate themselves.

Tianzhangyuan blinked his beautiful eyes vigorously several times.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that she had reminded Qingto in a serious manner just now, worrying that the Shinsengumi would not be able to compare with the big team in Beijing...

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel her pretty face heat up, her soles subconsciously dug into the ground, and her expression was dominated by strong shame.

Fortunately, she was covered by a hijab, so outsiders didn't notice her like this.

After a long time passed like this, Tokugawa Iemo finally broke the silence and produced the first sentence:

"Aomori, your Shinsengumi is really... extraordinary...!"

He pondered for a long time before he finally managed to say "extraordinary".

After he finished speaking, he curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a slight smile full of surprise and relief.

Although it is just a simple comment, it contains deep emotions.

"Your Highness, I dare not take it seriously."

After saying that, Qingdeng turned to face the "pro-army" generals.

Yamaki Yunro and others who noticed his gaze trembled one after another.

"Yamaki-kun, Sasaki-kun, and everyone else in the small group, you shoulder the important responsibilities of personally protecting His Highness and guarding Edo Castle."

"Please also ask your troops to imitate the Shinsengumi and strive to reach the level of the Shinsengumi as soon as possible."

When he said this, Qingdeng specially emphasized his tone, activated his talent "Emperor's Art", and put on a "heartbroken" and regretful look.

"Only in this way can you better protect His Highness!"

"What if in the end, the Shinsengumi secures Gyeonggi, but you lose Edo, it will really make people cry."

These guys have been secretly disparaging the Shinsengumi since just now.

The Shinsengumi was Seito's brainchild.

Aomori betted everything he had - time, energy, money, and future - on the Shinsengumi.

He has been highly bound to the Shinsengumi, and he has been both prosperous and fallen.

Since these guys are so arrogant, Qingdeng naturally has no face to show them.

The reason why he had been silently bearing it just now was to wait until now to have another attack.

Only by letting these guys see with their own eyes the gap between the "Third Division" and the Shinsengumi can they shut up completely! Don’t dare to do it again!

After listening to Qingdeng's "sincere persuasion", the complexions of Yamaki Yunlang and others suddenly changed, turning green and white.

Yamaki Yunlang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

However, his lips moved for a long time, but he could not utter a word.

In the end, he lowered his head with a gloomy expression, staring at his toes, unable to say a word.

As for other "pro-military" generals, the same is true.

They all looked away, not daring to look directly at Qingdeng for fear that Qingdeng would look at them.

The "Red and White War" just now completely shattered their arrogance.

Compared with the Shinsengumi's "pre-screen trial", the Beijing-based major team's drill just now was like a child's play house!

The army is an organization whose mission is to fight, and it is the epitome of the word "violence".

For the army and its generals, strength is everything! Fists are everything! "Cooking" is the original sin!

An army with insufficient strength and generals who are incompetent have no say.

The combat effectiveness of the big team stationed in Beijing is far inferior to that of the Shinsengumi - this alone is enough to prevent Yamaki Yunro and others from raising their heads in front of Aoto!

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded:

"Tangerine Military Department, this is just a drill. Why do you need to train in such a... intense way?"

Matsudaira Chunyue frowned, his face half puzzled and half reproachful.

"Look, after a drill, there were many casualties."

"According to my observation, at least four people accidentally broke their limbs."

"As for those with minor injuries who were beaten with bruises and swollen faces, there are even more."

"Tangerine Military Department, please forgive me for speaking frankly - training troops in such a fierce way is really not worth the gain."

"If we do this drill a few more times, the number of injured will probably be counted in the hundreds."

Although the weapons used by the red and white soldiers were wooden swords and wooden spears, to put it bluntly, these weapons were all large solid wooden sticks.

Being hit hard in the body with a big solid wooden stick...that's no joke.

For example, take the showdown between Souji and Saito Kazu just now.

If Souji's final blow is solid, it will definitely blow out Saitoichi's brains!

Before the advent of bamboo swords and kendo protective gear, swordsmen would directly use wooden swords to practice "naked" without any protection when practicing swords in the dojo.

No matter how careful you are and how preventive you are, accidents will always happen.

This was especially true during the Warring States Period when martial ethics was at its peak.

When sparring with fellow apprentices, it is normal for someone to accidentally have their hands and feet broken, or even lose their life.

Qingdeng seemed to have expected that someone would mention this issue, and responded calmly:

"Sir Matsudaira, as you said, this training method is indeed too intense."

"Every time a 'screen trial' is carried out, the number of injured ranges from a few to as many as a dozen."

"If things go on like this, before the war comes, there will be a large number of 'non-combat attrition'."

"But there's nothing we can do about it."

"As the saying goes, 'In troubled times, use heavy codes.'"

"About the current chaos in Kyoto, I believe you have heard it countless times, and your ears are almost getting calloused, and I am too lazy to repeat it again."

"In short, in order to cope with the rapid changes in the current situation and to protect Gyeonggi, I must strengthen the Shinsengumi as quickly as possible."

"Make the Shinsengumi stronger."

"Make all the soldiers under my command strong."

"It is far better to be wounded by a comrade's wooden sword than to be killed by an enemy's steel sword."

"Lord Matsudaira, please forgive me for asking you this: If the Shinsengumi cannot stop the invasion of foreign enemies, have you ever thought about the tragic consequences this will have?"

Being defeated by Qingteng's army, Songping Chunyue was immediately suffocated.

Just as he was about to "counterattack", Tokugawa Iemo who was standing on the side intercepted and said:

"Okay, no more arguing."

He waved his hand and continued.

"I support Qingdeng's proposition."

"The current situation is special, and special measures must be adopted under special circumstances."

"There's no time for leisurely training now."

"So I think Qingden did the right thing."

"Only by being injured several times on the school field can you develop a brave mind that is not afraid of blood and fire."

After finishing speaking, Tokugawa Iemo turned his hands behind his back and slowly turned around, facing everyone.

“Today’s inspection was really an eye-opener for me!”

"Qingden is the real general!"

"The Western Yi has a black ship, and I have the Shinsengumi, we are worthy enough to compete with each other!"

As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and looked at Yamagi Yunlang and others.

"You all must learn from Qingdeng!"

"We don't expect the 'Third Division' to be able to reach the level of the Shinsengumi 100% of the time, but we must at least have the fierceness of the Shinsengumi to dare to fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamagi Yunlang and others hurriedly fell to the ground and all said "yes" without even daring to say anything.

Qingdeng raised his head and glanced at the sky above his head.

"Your Highness, it's almost time for lunch, would you like to visit our dining hall?"

"Canteen? Hahaha! So perfect! I happen to be a little hungry!"

Everyone, please take care of yourself! (Leopard Cries.jpg) It feels like everyone’s health has gotten a lot worse since the epidemic. According to Bao Baozi's observation, in recent years, the frequency of illness among people around him has increased significantly. It's so scary... (Bao Baozi.jpg)
