A gray-clothed ninja jumped into the ditch and reached out to pull him, bullets whistling past Lin Yiqing's eyes, he leaned back, and turned around on the ridge. He saw that the two enemy soldiers who were rushing towards him had been shot by the ninjas and had fallen, so he quickly lowered his gun to the ridge, and his whole body followed with his hands on the ground.

Jun Takagi turned back, jumped over the ridge again, flew over the ditch, and came to his left flank.

"Teacher! How are you? ”

Lin Yiqing felt that Junichi Takagi was shouting at him out of the corner of his eye, so he also yelled: "Everyone move faster, kill it!" ”

"Yes! Kill back! Watch out, the enemy is coming from you again! Junichi Takagi shouted, turned around and fired several shots to the right. Lin Yiqing and the ninja were half-crouching on the ground at the same time, leaning over and raising their guns to shoot.

The three of them fought and ran, chasing the people in front of them.

The enemy's artillery was constantly firing, but the explosion point was mostly behind them, and the distance was gradually widening, and the sky and earth were filled with this extremely violent explosion, and it was impossible to hear what the people around them were shouting.

"Get up! Let's go! Lin Yiqing jumped over a crater, beside a ditch, and reached out to a samurai who had fallen in the grass. But the warrior ignored him, and crawled forward with difficulty. He leaned down and saw a pool of blood under the samurai's body, and the man was lying on the ground, gritting his teeth, looking very painful, but more desperate.

He recognized this person, he was the captain of the "Pengyi Team", Genbe Gunpei.

"It's too late, Lin Jun! You guys go! "In the flames of the explosion of the incendiary bombs behind him, the figures of the enemy could be seen dancing like a group of demons. Rushing in.

Lin Yiqing quickly went to get the first aid kit on his body. I want to bandage the Fuchibe Gunpei. He was used to living and dying together on the battlefield. No one can be left behind!

But Yuanbian Qunping was still crawling on his own, and a short blood belt crawled out behind him.

He was stubbornly crawling towards the weapon he had just thrown aside. When the shrapnel exploded by the shell just now, the gun was taken off and put aside, now is not the time to calm down and recuperate, as a real soldier, at this time only the gun is in his mind, and the rest is not important. As a samurai, his blood has not yet been spent. He hadn't reached the end of his life yet, and he still had to fight.

In the smoke and fire after the explosion in the back, countless enemies were shooting here, attacking fiercely, and the distance from everyone was getting closer and closer.

"Lin Jun! It's too late! You guys go! Yuanbian Qunping hissed.

"Fuchibe-kun! How are you? Lin Yiqing tore open the first-aid kit and grabbed him with one hand, preventing him from moving anymore.

Yuanbian Qunping broke free of Lin Yiqing's hand and said, "Leave me alone, you guys go first!" Protect the General! I'm here to cover you! My gun, please just give me my gun. ”

His lower body was covered in blood. Ordinary people could not bear the pain for a long time, but he was determined to die. urged Lin Yiqing to leave.

"Lin Jun! Let it go! If I can take out a few more enemies for you, I'll be satisfied! Hurry up, my gun! He lay there and watched his rifle half leaning against a rock. His hand was outstretched, and he was still a little close, and he was about to get it.

Lin Yiqing put away the first-aid kit, took a step forward, and brought the gun for him.

At the foot of the hill on this side, several enemy soldiers were rushing towards us. I saw these people running over the burning grass like flying. One of the officers had already seen the backward Satsuma army, and was signaling the men on the left and right to form an encirclement and come to arrest them alive.

"Here, they're coming!" Yuanbian Qunping lay on the ground and pulled the bolt. "Lin Jun, go quickly! Go to the general, I'll cover you! I'm satisfied to die on the land of my hometown! And you can kill a few more enemies before you die! Haha, so many people, enough! Enough is enough! He let out a terrifying laugh and began shooting.

Lin Yiqing and the gray-clothed ninja also fired together, as did Junichi Takagi and the two Satsuma samurai who rushed over, and these people were battle-hardened and extremely accurate in their marksmanship, and they quickly knocked down all the enemy soldiers.

After destroying the enemy, Lin Yiqing looked back at Yuanbian Qunping, but found that Yuanbian Qunping was already lying there and did not move, he stepped forward to test Yuanbian Qunping's snort, and found that he had stopped breathing.

The dead Yuanbian Qunping still maintained a shooting posture, his eyes were wide open, and his face was frozen with an angry expression, Lin Yiqing endured his grief and stretched out his hand to close his eyes.

"Let's go! Lord! The gray-clothed ninja said to Lin Yiqing.

At this time, Lin Yiqing's hearing had recovered, and he heard the gray-clothed ninja call himself "Lord Gong", and remembered the Mochizuki sisters who had been ordered by him to protect He Yunqing and Chiho Kirino who had left.

Lin Yiqing recognized that this was an Iga ninja, he didn't know the name of this person, but this person actually came back to him desperately with Junichi Takagi.

"I'm really ashamed of everyone when the battle has come to this point." Lin Yiqing looked at the corpses of the victims of the Satsuma Army in front of him, and among them were several ninjas in the same costume.

"For thousands of years, we have been despised by people, living in the dark, and after following the lord, we have to regain the dignity of ninjas, although our homes are destroyed, and our relatives and friends are gone, we have no regrets." The gray-clothed ninja looked at Lin Yiqing and said in a deep voice, "I only hope that the Lord will take care of himself and achieve great things, so that we can be upright and live under the sunny sky again." ”

Hearing the heartfelt words of the ninja in front of him, Lin Yiqing remembered the scene of Kamiya Kira killing the enemy's corpse that day, and then he understood why the ninjas of Iga were also like the ninjas of Koga, swearing to follow him to the death.

On that day, he was puzzled by Kamiya Kira's behavior of killing the corpse after killing the enemy, and later learned that after learning that the Koga ninja had surrendered to Lin Yiqing, in order to prevent another faction of Iga ninja from also falling to Lin Yiqing, they killed the people living in the Iga Valley and destroyed the homes where the Iga people had lived for generations.

"Everyone's blood will not be shed in vain." Lin Yiqing glanced at the corpse of the abyssal Gunpei lying there again, and patted the gray-clothed ninja on the shoulder. Said firmly. "Someday. I will bring everyone back to this land and live an upright life! ”

After he finished speaking, he continued to rush forward without looking back.

The 5,000 Satsuma troops broke through the defensive line set up by the government army in one fell swoop, and seized the artillery positions of the government army. Kuroki was originally a rare brave general of the government army, but this time in the face of the fierce attack of the Satsuma samurai who had no way out, he became a coward, he abandoned his troops, and fled out of Kagoshima Prefecture in embarrassment, and the government army of more than 7,000 people was all crushed and scattered, and Kagoshima County was recaptured by the Satsuma army. After Kuroki ran for a few miles, he met the Yama County Youpeng Department who was also going south, and he was frightened. Collecting the defeated troops, there are already less than 4,000 people.

Kagoshima. Shiroyama.

After the fall of Kagoshima, Shiroyama was occupied by government troops, who stockpiled ammunition and food for military supplies, and garrisoned a small army of more than 800 people.

When Lin Yiqing saw Saigo Takamori here again, Saigo Takamori was sitting on a large rock, looking at the broken katana in his hand.

Looking at Saigo Takamori, who was covered in blood, holding a broken knife in his hand, sitting there panting heavily, Lin Yiqing could imagine what Saigo Takamori looked like in the rush just now.

It was thanks to the courage of the commander that the exhausted Satsuma army was able to defeat an enemy outnumbered them in one fell swoop and retake their hometown of Kagoshima.

This was the only time since the outbreak of the Southwest War that Saigo Takamori personally participated in the battle.

It should also be the last time.

"Hanpeng, you're lagging behind." Seeing Lin Yiqing appear in front of him safely, Saigo Takamori was very relieved and said to him with a smile.

"General, are you alright?" Lin Yiqing noticed that Saigo Takamori's right leg was bandaged, and the bandage was already covered with blood, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Hanpeng, what do you think of today's battle?" Saigo Takamori looked at Lin Yiqing, who was covered in blood and smelled of gunsmoke, "I'm not worse than you children when I go into battle to kill the enemy, right?" ”

"The general is brave and invincible, and we are ashamed of ourselves." Lin Yiqing said, his eyes still resting on Saigo Takamori's injury.

"Alas, no, it's old, it's old after all." Saigo Takamori looked at Lin Yiqing, who was full of fatigue, and sighed, "It's only been so long since I rode a horse for so long, and I gasped so much, and I hurt the thief soldiers......"

"How is the general's injury? Was it a gunshot wound? Lin Yiqing stepped forward to check on Saigo Takamori's injury.

"No, I stabbed a thief with a bayonet when I was on the horse, but it was a flesh wound, and it didn't touch the bone, so it didn't get in the way." Seeing Lin Yiqing's worried look, Saigo Takamori smiled and waved his hand, "It's that this guy's brain is really hard, and he was stunned that he broke my treasure knife." ”

Hearing this latter sentence of Saigo Takamori, Lin Yiqing could imagine the scene of Saigo Takamori rushing into the enemy formation on horseback and slashing with a knife at that time, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

According to his experience, Saigo Takamori's knife should have been badly damaged after a series of slashes, because it broke after slashing the skull of the enemy soldier and then breaking from the heavy blow.

can cut a knife alive, which shows how many enemies Saigo Takamori has cut down this way.

Isn't his own "four-carcass cut" given to him by Saigo Takamori also cut down like this......

"General, Ma ...... I'm afraid it won't work......" a samurai walked over, "Would you like to go over and have a look?" ”

"Let's go, come with me and have a look!" Saigo Takamori held Lin Yiqing's shoulder, straightened up with difficulty, stood up, and said.

Lin Yiqing helped Saigo Takamori to the playground, where several samurai were surrounding a war horse lying on the ground.

Lin Yiqing recognized that this was Saigo Takamori's most beloved war horse, and at this time, there were six or seven blood holes on the body of this war horse, and it was bubbling with blood as its body convulsed.

"Horse, horse, you are suffering for me!" Saigo Takamori looked at the seriously injured war horse and sighed, "I've rushed all the way here." I thought I would get shot. I didn't expect the bullet to hit me. But it hit you! ”

Hearing the exclamation of his master, the prostrate war horse raised his head slightly and let out a low neigh.

"I'm afraid it's going to fail...... "Kirino Toshiaki sighed as he came to Saigo Takamori's side.

"Well, Ma'er, if you accompany me here, we will live and die together!" Saigo Takamori let go of the hand holding Lin Yiqing and squatted down. Gently stroking the forehead of the war horse with his hand, the war horse seemed to understand Saigo Takamori's words, and actually shed tears.

Lin Yiqing heard Saigo Takamori's words, understood his intentions, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Saigo Takamori stared at his war horse, and silently stretched out his hand to Kirino Toshiaki, who took out the revolver on his waist and handed it to Saigo Takamori with both hands, Saigo Takamori took the pistol and aimed the barrel of the gun at the forehead of the war horse. War Horse understood what Saigo Takamori was going to do, and he closed his eyes sensibly.

Saigo Takamori gritted his teeth. Pulled the trigger hard.

Looking at the deceased warhorse, Saigo Takamori slowly got up and handed the pistol back to Toshiaki Kirino.

"Liqiu, I'm right here, let's meet my last battle!" Saigo Takamori said.

"General......" Lin Yiqing was about to persuade when he heard this, but was stopped by Saigo Takamori waving his hand.

"Hanpeng, you obey my orders, take the wounded, get on the ship with everyone, and evacuate to Nagasaki! I'm here to cover for you! Saigo Takamori said, pointing to Kinko Bay in the distance.

Only then did Lin Yiqing discover that there was a warship and two transport ships parked in Jinjiang Bay -- the gunboat "Mt. Fuji" of the Satsuma Navy and the merchant ships of the Mitsubishi Osaka Trading Company of Yukashi Iwasaki.

"General, please listen to me and retreat with everyone!" Lin Yiqing persuaded.

"Hanpeng, I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more." Saigo Takamori said in a deep voice, "This is where my bones are buried!" ”

"Since the general is like this, then Lin also follows the general, and bury his bones here." Lin Yiqing said categorically.

"Bastard!" Saigo Takamori slapped Lin Yiqing in the face fiercely, "Everyone's hopes are all on you, how can you say such irresponsible bastard words!" ”

Saigo Takamori's slap was so hard and heavy that the corners of Lin Yiqing's mouth were bleeding, but he was still unmoved, standing there stubbornly, looking at Saigo Takamori calmly.

"Hanpeng, I don't allow you to die, I want you to take everyone to Nagasaki, from there to Ryukyu, protect everyone, and live well! I entrusted Kikujiro to you! I hope you will take good care of him! Saigo Takamori looked at Lin Yiqing and said earnestly, "You are from Qianguo, you can protect everyone with the help of Qianguo!" So you can't die, understand? ”

Lin Yiqing nodded vigorously, and the tears that he had endured for a long time finally flowed.

"It's time for this war to end, and since it's happening here, let it still end here!" Saigo Takamori looked at the beautiful scenery of Jinjiang Bay in the distance, "This time, the army of King Xingqin failed to succeed, and its responsibility lies with me. ”

"Why did the general say this? This time, the great cause of King Qin was not accomplished, the non-soldiers were disadvantaged, the war was not good, and the luck was not good, how can it be said that it is the responsibility of the general? Kirino Toshiaki cried, "This is too unfair to the general!" ”

"The responsibility is on me." Saigo Takamori turned his head to look at Kirino Toshiaki, then looked at Lin Yiqing, and sighed, "I regret that when I was in Osaka that day, I didn't use Hanpeng's strategy, and when the enemy was in decline, the navy smashed Tokyo and missed the opportunity, causing the traitor to lead Lucia soldiers to come. ”

After listening to Saigo Takamori's words of reflection, all the generals of the Satsuma army hated and wept.

"Hanpeng, you can be ten times stronger than me, and I will entrust you to you today." Saigo Takamori said, took off his other saber, and handed it into Lin Yiqing's hand along with the broken knife, "I hope you can use the power of Qianguo to protect everyone, and the time is favorable for everyone to return to their homeland!" ”

Lin Yiqing took the knife with tears in his eyes and nodded vigorously.

"Hanpeng, take care of Chiho." Seeing Lin Yiqing's tearful appearance, Kirino Toshiaki stepped forward with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

When Lin Yiqing heard Kirino Toshiaki's words, his whole body was shocked like an electric shock.

"Master Yue, you ......"

"I have sworn to follow the Shogun to the death," said Toshiaki Kirino Masashiki, "and I should bury my bones here with the Shogun." ”

"Liqiu, you should go with Hanpeng too!" Saigo Takamori looked at Toshiaki Kirino and said, "Chiho can't live without a father!" Do you want her to be sad and sad for the rest of her life? ”

"Uncle, father, Chiho will not be sad and sad for a lifetime, because Chiho will also follow his uncle and father to fight with the thieves to the end, and if the uncle and father die, Chiho will not live alone." A voice sounded behind Lin Yiqing.

"Chiho, why are you here?" Seeing his daughter suddenly appear and hearing his determination to follow Saigo Takamori to his death, Kirino Toshiaki couldn't help but be surprised.

Lin Yiqing turned around suddenly, and suddenly saw Chiho Kirino in a gray ninja battle uniform, at this time she was slowly taking off her scarf, and looked at the three people she loved the most in front of her. (To be continued......)
