Hearing the high-spirited shouts of Toshiaki Kirino, Saigo Takamori, who was riding a horse under the banner, showed a look of approval.

This kind of courage has always been highly admired by Saigo Takamori, who has always believed that war is not only achieved by sophisticated weapons, adequate supplies, and sophisticated strategy, but also by the steadfast and noble "samurai spirit" (i.e., samurai spirit).

Inspired by Kirino Toshiaki, the Satsuma samurai roared like thunder, and the speed of their march increased.

"Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself." Chiho Kirino felt Lin Yiqing's concerned gaze looking at her, and smiled slightly, "Try to do your thing well!" ”

Lin Yiqing smiled softly, nodded, and was about to leave with his horse, but saw a horse galloping from afar.

"Great victory! Great victory! Nagasaki Katsufu! Nagasaki Katsufu! A ninja waved his arms on his horse and shouted excitedly.

Hearing the ninja shout "Nagasaki Katsusu", the Satsuma samurai marching in the snow drew their swords to the sky and cheered.

The ninja came straight to Lin Yiqing, turned over and dismounted, took out a small bamboo tube and opened it, took out the paper roll contained in it, and handed it to Lin Yiqing.

After reading the report, Lin Yiqing rode to the front of Saigo Takamori and handed the report to Saigo Takamori.

Saigo Takamori had already heard the cheers of the samurai just now, and he couldn't help but be amazed to know that Nagasaki had recovered in less than a day. After Lin Yiqing handed him the report sent by the ninja, he immediately unfolded it and looked at it.

"It only took one day to recover Nagasaki, and most of the defenders were anyway, and the casualties were very small, so it can be said that the soldiers were bloodless." After reading the report, Saigo Takamori handed the report to Toshiaki Kirino and asked Lin Yiqing, "Hanpeng, what arrangements did you make in advance?" ”

"It's just a little more work to rebel." Lin Yiqing smiled and replied, "There are a lot of officers and soldiers from Kyushu in the Nagasaki Sea Army, and the government has suppressed them a lot in order to prevent them, and I just made full use of the government's mistakes. ”

"Han Peng's methods of rebellion have amazed us." Murata Shinpachi said with a smile on the side, "I'll find out when Mr. goes to Nagasaki to have a look." ”

"Oh?" Saigo Takamori remembered the destination Kumamoto he was going to now, and seemed to understand something, "Hanpeng, did you make the same arrangement in Kumamoto, and you were so sure of what you said to Chiho just now?" ”

"Mr. is going to Kumamoto, you can see it at a glance." Lin Yiqing heard Saigo Takamori's somewhat anxious question, and replied with a smile.

"If Kumamoto can recover like Nagasaki, then in less than half a month, our army will be able to attack Osaka!" Saigo Takamori said happily.

At this time, the news of the conquest of Nagasaki spread like a fire throughout the Satsuma army, and the samurai, inspired by the news of the victory, rushed forward in the face of the wind and snow.

Kumamoto Castle effect, woods.

"Why doesn't this snow stop!" Shusuke Noyama, the major of the Zhentai Army, looked at the large snowflakes falling from the gray sky, and couldn't help but curse in annoyance.

After learning of the news that the main force of the Satsuma Army was coming to attack, the government forces in Kumamoto Castle, led by Major General Miura Okuro, commander of the Zhentai Army, and Toshira Kawaji, the chief of police, began to deploy weapons and troops, and defended in separate locations to prepare for battle. In order to prevent the enemy from building a fortified attack, Major General Miura Wulou ordered to remove all obstacles within the firing range outside the city, and this forest was naturally cleared.

Shusuke Noyama, who had been ordered to carry out the clearing mission, had planned to burn the forest down with a single fire, but he was annoyed by the heavy snow that made it impossible to set it on fire.

What terrified him was that these days, there were always soldiers of the Zhentai Army who were missing near this forest.

Perhaps sensing the danger, Miura ordered all the defenders outside the castle to be withdrawn into the castle, and Shusuke Noyama was ordered to withdraw to the castle after completing the search for the enemy in the forest.

Shusuke Noyama glanced again into the dark woods. The big trees seemed to be bent lower because of the pressure of snow, showing the appearance of teeth and claws. Shusuke Noyama instinctively took the rifle to his side and opened the safe.

A cold wind swept through the woods, making the solid branches rustle for a short time, and snow fell from the branches. In the distance, there is a small tree. A small brown bird landed on its dry treetops. It looks around, and is not afraid of people at all. It squeaked for a while, then flapped its wings and flew.

All the soldiers of the Zhentai Army felt uneasy, and without waiting for the commander's order, they put away the knives and axes used to cut down trees and raised their rifles.

The little bird brushed past Shusuke Noyama's head, its tiny wings flapping the air and vibrating slightly, making Shusuke Noyama feel a chill. It screamed a few more times before flying away towards a destination known only to itself.

Shusuke Noyama made a gesture of "forward", and the soldiers of the Zhentai Army spread out in a skirmish line, raised their loaded rifles, and walked forward cautiously.

The ranks of soldiers of the Zhentai Army marched slowly through the dense forest. They stop and go, carefully observing whenever they encounter a complex terrain to make sure that there is no danger before moving on. Occasionally, the quiet woods could be heard the faint sound of them towing away the messy dead grass or cutting the branches of a bush. Suddenly, Shusuke Noyama saw several soldiers in front of the team stop and crouched. He knew that they must have discovered the situation, so he gestured to his subordinates who were following closely behind him, and bent down to observe carefully.

Suddenly, gunfire erupted, and bullets rained down. In an instant, several of the soldiers of the Zhentai Army who walked to the front were knocked down, and those behind immediately began to retreat.

Suddenly there was a gunshot on the left side of the forest, and Shusuke Noyama turned his head to look and immediately saw more than ten Zhentai soldiers being knocked to the ground like mowing grass!

A soldier of the Zhentai Army was shot in the leg, screaming loudly there, he waved his arms and asked for help from his companions, and a soldier of the Zhentai Army just wanted to rush over to help the wounded, when a blood line suddenly spurted out of his chest, and his body stiffened for a while, and then he fell backwards on his back.

Seeing his companion killed, the wounded Zhentai soldier screamed in even more horror, but his screaming stopped abruptly.

Shusuke Noyama clearly saw that a bullet flew in and got into the soldier's gaping mouth!
