At this time, the right flank of the soldiers of the Zhentai Army was also attacked, and countless bullets flew in, and Shusuke Noyama turned his head and immediately saw about 20 ninjas, and these ninjas were also holding real rifles in their hands!

Suddenly, there was a gunshot above Shusuke Noyama's head, and when he looked up, he was surprised to find that there were a few more ninjas on the tree!

The ninja in the tree threw away the camouflage on his body, raised his rifle and began to shoot downward, and the soldiers of the Zhentai Army who were caught off guard were suddenly hit by such a terrible blow, and the team immediately fell into chaos.

Shusuke Noyama threw away the rifle that was already empty in his hand, pulled out the revolver on his waist, and fired at the ninja in the tree, probably because of panic, his first shot did not hit the other party, and the other party was reminded by his gunshot, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at him.

At this time, Shusuke Noyama had no time to dodge, he gritted his teeth and fired again, and at about the same time, the ninja's gun also went off.

Shusuke Noyama saw the bullet from his pistol hit the other man's chest, and the ninja glared at him fiercely for a moment, and fell headlong from the tree.

Seeing that he finally had the results of the battle, Shusuke Noyama did not have a trace of excitement in his heart, and he just wanted to continue aiming, but suddenly found that his arm did not obey the call.

Shusuke Noyama looked down, only to realize that the other party's shot just now actually broke his right arm!

After the ninjas hiding in the tree completed the first round of shooting, they jumped down from the tree and slashed the soldiers of the Zhentai Army with long knives, although many of the soldiers of the Zhentai Army died under the knives of the ninjas, but because of their joining, the ninjas on the periphery were afraid of hurting their own people, so they stopped shooting one after another, but stepped forward and started a melee battle with the soldiers of the Zhentai Army, which invisibly reduced the pressure of the soldiers of the Zhentai Army.

By now, Shusuke Noyama had clearly known that there was only one way out in front of him, and that was to take advantage of the current opportunity to retreat quickly. So, he led his subordinates to start fighting and retreating. At this time, he can no longer fight, and more than half of the soldiers of the Zhentai Army are either dead or wounded, and the death of a large number of brave old feudal soldiers has made the soldiers of the Zhentai Army feel the horror of the ninja's combat effectiveness, they have lost their fighting spirit, and now they are purely fighting for their lives!

I don't know how long it took, when Shusuke Noyama saw the river in front of him, he realized that he had escaped from the forest that represented death.

Shusuke Noyama looked back, and there were still gunshots and screams and shouts from time to time in the forest in the distance, and there were only about thirty people who escaped with him!

And these people who escaped by luck were full of fear written on their faces.

For them, they may only have encountered such a fierce battle once in their lives!

Shusuke Noyama was supported by one of his subordinates, and he easily crossed the moat, when he felt the pain in his wound start to be so severe that he could barely stand. He gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to move his steps so that he would not stop.

He knew that as long as he stopped, he would never get out of here again.

After walking for a while, when Shusuke Noyama finally saw his own people from the brigade who appeared in front of him, his feet were weak, he could no longer stand, fell to the ground, and fainted.

When Shusuke Noyama woke up, he found that he was already lying on a stretcher, and what was shaking in front of him was the iron-blue face of the supreme commander of Kumamoto Castle, Major General Miura Oro.

Next to him was the chief of the police force, Toshira Kawaji.

"General! I ......"

"What kind of enemies have you encountered?" Contrary to Shusuke Noyama's expectations, Miura Wulou didn't blame him, but directly asked him about the battle.

Shusuke Noyama endured the pain and carefully described the battle that took place in the forest, and after listening to him, Miura's brows twisted into two black bumps.

"They're ninjas." Kawaro Toshira said in a deep voice, "These demons of the shogunate era have not completely died out, and now they have revived. ”

"The thieves of Kagoshima are very powerful! I was able to ask them to come out and help. Miura Wulou snorted coldly and said, "This also shows that Saigo Yoshinosuke has long been opposed!" Not as he said in his proclamation, persecuted by traitors! ”

Hearing Miura Wulou say the word "traitor", Kawaro Liliang's face changed slightly, and Miura Wulou lost his words and cast an apologetic look at Kawalu Liliang.

Kawaro Liliang's expression returned to calm, he frowned and thought for a while, and said to Miura Wulou: "Miura-kun, the cannon in the city can shoot into that forest, right?" ”

"Yes." Miura Wulou was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood what Kawaro wanted to do, "Kawalu-kun, what do you mean......"

"Please order the artillery to bombard that forest with artillery." "Since those rats have turned this forest into a land of ghosts, we will use our cannons to destroy them completely. ”

After listening to Kawaro Toshira's request, Shusuke Noyama understood.

Shusuke Noyama didn't actually know that after he was rescued, Kawaro Toshira sent people into the woods to investigate, trying to transport the victim's body out, but he was still attacked by ninjas, suffered heavy casualties, and was forced to retreat. For the soldiers of the Zhentai Army, that forest has become a place of death.

Kawaro Toshira knew that the woods had now become a stinger in the defense line of Kumamoto Castle, and the main force of the Satsuma army was approaching, and if he did not remove this stinger quickly, it would bring great trouble to the next battle, so he thought of a way to bombard.

"That's all there is to it." Miura nodded in agreement, and then gave an order to one of the officers beside him.

The officer ran to give the order, and not long after, Kawaro Riliang heard the rumbling sound of cannons. Perhaps the roar of the cannon had increased his confidence again, and Shusuke Noyama noticed a look of relief on Kawaji Toshira's face.

"They probably didn't know that our new Krupp cannon would be able to hit that wood." Miura Wulou also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and turned his head to Kawaro Liliang and said.

Kawaro Liliang nodded and did not speak.

In order to strengthen the defense of Kumamoto Castle, the Meiji government's army secretary Yama Prefecture Aritomo added 25 75 mm and 6 120 mm Krupp cannons purchased from Germany to Kumamoto Castle.

But at this moment, neither Miura Oro nor Kawaro Toshira would have thought of the origin of those terrible ninjas who appeared under Kumamoto Castle; What is the purpose of them setting up an ambush in the woods to intercept and kill the soldiers of the Zhentai Army?
