Chapter 640: The Cherry Blossoms Fall

Asano and Takizawa are studying the curve to save the country, Erden is discussing his next step with Shanyu, and Qi Buchen is not idle, he and Bunbo are walking in Kumamoto Castle. After drinking a little wine, it is very comfortable to find a small park with a nice environment to wander around, but at the moment Kumamoto Castle does not mean a small park at all.

Even with the protection of a full company of guards, Qi Buchen still felt a deep sense of danger, and the sound of blades colliding and hoarse shouts of killing seemed to be very close to him. And these guards also scared Qi Buchen, even more than the Japanese samurai who were covered in blood, and these people didn't necessarily have the intention of stabbing him from behind. However, Qi Buchen had to come out, he had to stay with Wenbo, and Wenbo insisted on wandering in this hell, what could the noble sixth master Qi Buchen do.

"What does the sixth master think of the scenery of this Kumamoto City?" After a sullen slipped away for almost an hour, Wenbo finally said a word.

"It's nice, it's good, the view is still excellent!" Qi Buchen casually agreed, in fact, in the dark night, except for the corpses nearby and the sporadic fires in the city, Qi Buchen couldn't even see a ghost, where did he know what the scenery of Kumamoto Castle was.

"The sixth master is really good eyesight!" Wen Bo smiled brightly, and he couldn't see anything, but he was very satisfied with Qi Buchen's attitude.

"Chief Wen smiled!" Qi Buchen lowered his head in embarrassment, everyone knew that he was talking nonsense, and Wenbo's praise didn't leave him a face at all.

Wenbo seemed to have something to say to Qi Buchen, but he didn't have a reason for a while, and after teasing Qi Buchen, Wenbo wanted to get to the point. However, before Wenbo's words could be spoken, gunshots suddenly rang out from a muromachi behind him, and at the same time, the chaotic shouting of Japanese became louder. Wenbo didn't have the heart to speak, he was going to beat Qi Buchen, but he didn't want Qi Buchen to have any accidents.

"Invite a few chiefs to rest in the pavilion!" Although the company commander didn't figure out the situation, he also quickly deployed an all-round defense, and picked a gate building in the inner city of Kumamoto Castle, so that Wenbo and Qi Buchen could go up to see the excitement.

"What's the situation?" Wenbo was already very indifferent to the war, he was just worried about something happening to Qi Buchen.

"It should be that some of the remaining samurai remnants in the city have exchanged fire with the mercenaries, and I have already sent someone to investigate!" The commander of the guard company replied unhurriedly, he did not urge Wenbo and the two to hurry up, the name and strength of the guard gave him enough confidence.

"Okay, let's go up and see the excitement first, and send someone to report at any time if there is news!" Seeing that the company commander was calm, Wenbo was also relieved, since there was no major danger, this was a good opportunity to beat Qi Buchen.

"Please move the sixth master!" Although Wenbo occupies the absolute initiative, he didn't mess up the rules when he arrived, and still asked Qi Buchen to go first.

Just after the gunshots rang out, Qi Buchen entered the vibration mode, not only his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, but his face also became extremely pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down. Wenbo invited him to go to the pavilion, Qi Buchen was even more frightened, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Wenbo with fear on his face. Not only did he not walk towards the pavilion, but he also took two steps back, and where there were more people, he leaned on.

"It's just a little bit of sins, so I won't let the sixth master personally supervise the battle, let's just go up and watch the battle together!" Wenbo saw through Qi Buchen's careful thinking at a glance, but he still had to save face for Qi Buchen, and there were some things that could not be said on the table. Qi Buchen has been sticking into the pile of soldiers, and Qi Buchen can only find an excuse for Qi Buchen to end up in person.

"I won't supervise the battle, let's go up!" Qi Buchen didn't calm down much, but the word "war" reminded him of the word military power, and Qi Buchen, who was extremely allergic to the word "war", jumped out of the crowd.

Wen Bo shook his head helplessly, and took Qi Buchen and a few guards to the pavilion. When he arrived at the pavilion, Qi Buchen immediately recovered, because this pavilion was not empty, and more than 20 mercenaries were stationed in it, including a Manchurian officer. In such a crowd, Qi Buchen felt that his safety must be guaranteed, and he was naturally no longer afraid. Japanese people also have many advantages, such as their strong discipline and special love of cleanliness. This pavilion, which had been hit by a rifle shell in the battle, had been cleaned up by the mercenaries, saving Wenbo a lot of trouble. Wenbo and Qi Buchen are in the pavilion, not only do they have hot water to drink, but they can also clearly see everything that is happening near Muromachi.

When Kumamoto Castle fell, a large number of samurai from the feudal domains fled with the feudal lords, but those samurai were only the elite of the feudal domains, and many of them were still trapped in the castle. After these unlucky people who were blocked also fell under the guns of the 11th Division, most of them decided that Kumamoto Castle had no ability to resist, but they forgot the saying that veterans do not die. There was also a group of samurai in Kumamoto Castle, who were not incorporated into the army by the feudal commanders, nor did they receive advanced weapons from the feudal domain, but they were still samurai. These samurai who stayed in their own homes, the old ones were sixty years old, and the young ones were sixteen years old, and they were either minors or retired. When the main force was annihilated by the Manchurian army, they became the last warriors of Kumamoto Castle. The elders took out their ancestral swords, and the teenagers polished their bamboo guns, and they were all ready to protect the honor of the Kumamoto Domain.

After the mercenaries began to slaughter the city, they got into a struggle with these old and sick army. The samurai guarding the countryside are almost not organized, all of them fight with cold weapons, their physical strength and combat quality are also extremely poor, and the number is not particularly large, but the mercenary division will really not be able to take them for a while. These people already have the heart of death, and they are naturally brave and fearless, and their morale is naturally much higher than that of the mercenaries who enter the city to enjoy themselves. Moreover, they are very familiar with the situation in Kumamoto Castle, and it is indeed difficult to catch running around through the house and jumping around.

The Manchurian army still had a lot of experience in street fighting, and the local warriors were not easy to catch, so they did not catch it. Shanyu divided Kumamoto Castle into twenty-six blocks, and then the mercenaries began to slaughter the city by block, gradually narrowing the encirclement, hoping to finally besiege these little rats. Moreover, these samurai are to guard the countryside, in order to protect the people and their families, they will definitely take the initiative to hit the muzzle of the gun themselves, and there is no need for the mercenaries to catch them again.

It was a complete accident that Wenbo and Qi Buchen were able to meet the battle today. Although Wenbo has been walking around Qi Buchen for a long time, he has been going around in circles, and he has not left the castle tower too far at all, how can there be a large number of enemies in this kind of core area! This Muromachi is the place where the mercenaries hold the beautiful woman they captured, and it was originally a place where there was no danger, but it happened that the two of them walked here and had an accident. More than 200 Kumamoto samurai gathered together, trying to storm the women here and let them go. As a result, the women were not rescued, and they were hitched themselves in, and they were besieged by a full three squadrons of mercenaries.

The casualties of the samurai were very heavy, but because they had prepared a large number of bows and arrows and a small number of muskets in advance, they still had a certain strength to fight back, and the remaining 70 or so people fought and retreated, trying to find an opportunity to rush out. However, these samurai, who were familiar with the terrain, may have been blinded by the bullets like a storm, and actually chose the wrong direction to escape, and crashed headlong in the direction of the castle tower, and also bumped into the front of Wenbo and Qi Buchen.

The reinforced company of the Guards Brigade did not intervene too much in the battle, and their main task was to protect the safety of Qi Buchen, but when the samurai rushed in front of them, they still showed their hands slightly. The Heavenly Guards are naturally extraordinary, after their hands are leaked, there will be no enemies, and all the mercenaries can do is to take bayonets and go up to make up for them.

"What does the sixth master think?" Wenbo was eager to hear Qi Buchen's thoughts on this boring battle.

"Uh...... I ......" Qi Buchen was already shaking, his face was pale and he couldn't even say a whole sentence.

From the time he landed on Kagoshima, Qi Buchen felt that this trip to Japan was specially arranged for him by the dogs of Goxinga. The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in Kagoshima Castle is to let Qi Buchen see the great martial arts of the general, and at the same time, it is also to let Qi Buchen understand that the blood of the general is terrifying. Tens of thousands of people have been killed like ants, Qi Buchen, a young man who has nothing to do, what can not be killed, if Qi Buchen dares to have any wrong thoughts, his end will only be a dead end. It is estimated that they were afraid that Qi Buchen would only look at the ruins of Kagoshima Castle and the effect would not be shocking enough, so they brought Qi Buchen to Kumamoto Castle again, let him watch the killing with his own eyes, and let him see what was freshly baked and bloody.

Qi Buchen was really frightened, since he was sent back to Gu'an by Guo Xing's personal order, Qi Buchen has always been cautious, for fear that the fifth brother would find a back account to clean him up. Although Guo Xing'a forgot about it later, the Suotulu clan, the Zhang family father and son, Pi Runmin, Zou Degui and other characters did not forget this matter, and they wanted to prevent it from getting worse and ensure that the rights of the Yehenara family were passed on steadily. Erdenbu still dared to complain, but he just felt that someone was spying on him, but Qi Buchen didn't even dare to complain, he was always followed by the people from the miscellaneous department, and everyone was on the bright side, coming out to beat him anytime and anywhere. Qi Buchen, who had tried to dominate Jiangdong, was dead, and all that was left was a poor man who trembled.

"The samurai are heroes who are dying like cherry blossoms to protect their people!" Qi Buchen couldn't answer, so Wenbo sighed to himself.

"Yes, yes, yes, what Chief Wen said!" Qi Buchen nodded again and again, he felt that these people were still killed to show him, and he was afraid.

"Good or evil! Whether they are heroes or fanatics, as long as they stand on the opposite side of the general, they have only one way to die! Sixth master, you must understand this sentence! Wenbo's old captain asked him to tell Qi Buchen this sentence at the right time, and now he has found a very suitable opportunity.

"Yes, you must remember! Be sure to remember! Qi Buchen's eyes already contained many tears of fear and grievance.

"Sixth Master, rest early!" Wen Bo saw that the effect was about the same, and got up and floated away, Qi Buchen still stayed in place and trembled, but this time when he trembled, he clenched his fists.
