The brutal battle did not slow down or stop because of Sakamoto Ryoma's decision to fight to the death with Saigo Takamori, but became more and more intense.

The Sino-Korean coalition forces clearly planned to defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop with this monstrous momentum, and did not want to have any respite with it.

And the determination and will of the Sino-Korean coalition forces to fight this kind of make the Japanese army who want to resist a little desperate, and the only thing they can do now is to delay the progress of this rout with their lives and blood.

However, the further back on, the superiority of the Sino-Korean coalition became more and more obvious, and it can be said that no matter how the Japanese army struggled to the death, the defeat of the Japanese army was basically certain.

For Ryoma Sakamoto and Takamori Saigo, although they are psychologically prepared for failure, it is not so easy to accept it when this kind of failure is really coming.

Especially Sakamoto Ryoma, although he predicted that the building would collapse, he was still shouting in a fierce voice, he must teach a good lesson to the Sino-Korean coalition forces that are teaching the Japanese army.

It seems that Ryoma Sakamoto is dizzy, and he doesn't even know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is.

What a useless thing!

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Sakamoto Ryoma was so angry that he wanted to go crazy, and just when he was about to lose control of his feelings and was about to pull Saigo Takamori to the battlefield to fight to the death with the Sino-Korean coalition army, he suddenly saw that directly opposite them, a Japanese army broke away from the battlefield, like a wild horse, and rode towards their position.

Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori looked at each other a little when they saw this scene, although they didn't know what this Japanese soldier was crazy about, but, in order to reduce unnecessary collisions, they were still ready to order someone to stop this brainless Japanese soldier.

And after running for a while, the Japanese army gradually approached the outer position of the two personal guards, and just when the personal guards were about to stop the Japanese army, the Japanese army suddenly stopped by the horse's head, and then rolled the saddle and fell off the horse very neatly, and then approached the personal guard step by step.

Seeing this, some of the guards stepped forward to stop them, and shouted: "Whoever comes stops, if not, there will be no mercy!"

What is the identity of Ryoma Sakamoto and Takamori Saigo, how could the pro-guard team allow irrelevant people and others to approach casually.

"I....I am... It's Commander Ito's herald, there is, there is something important, and I would like to see General Sakamoto about it, so please report it." The man was panting, weak and intermittent.

After saying that, the Japanese soldier sat down on the ground and couldn't get up again.

Hearing that the person who came was Iten Hirobumi's herald, Sakamoto Ryoma's personal guard couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't dare to slack off anymore, on the one hand, he stepped forward to check on the other party's situation, and on the other hand, he immediately flew to report the matter to Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori.

And this discovery has already been in the eyes of Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori, they saw that the guard was anxiously coming, they knew that something must be something, so, before the guard opened his mouth to tell him, Sakamoto Ryoma had already preemptively asked what was the matter.

So, the guard reported the truth.

When the two heard that the person who had come was actually Iteng Hirobumi's herald, they were deeply taken aback, and at the same time, they were stunned for a while, and they did not come to their senses until the guards asked for instructions to stop the next line.

So, with a wave of his hand, Ryoma Sakamoto ordered the guard to bring the herald to them at once.

The guards received the order and immediately summoned the herald.

After a while, Ito's herald was dragged by two of Sakamoto's personal guards and brought to Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori.

The herald was already in prostration, but after drinking water and resting for a while, his spirit seemed to improve slightly, and although his face was still very white and terrible, he was able to stand after all, and he could use words and sentences more coherently.

He explained to Ryoma Sakamoto and Saigo Takamori the reason for coming here, and said that he had brought orders from Commander Ito.

The order of the commander? Hearing this, Ryoma Sakamoto and Takamori Saigo glanced at each other again, and both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.

At this time, what will Ito order?

With this question in mind, they turned their gaze to the herald again

And the person who can be a herald by Ito Hirobumi's side is obviously not a simple role, and agility is a must, he saw the question on the faces of Sakamoto Ryoma, so he unequivocally took out an envelope from his underwear, respectfully handed it to the two, and said that this was an order from Commander Ito to General Sakamoto.

Immediately, a guard next to him came over to catch the envelope and presented it to Ryoma Sakamoto.

Ryoma Sakamoto cautiously took the envelope with the herald's body temperature, and then tugged hard in his hand, but did not open it immediately, but looked at Saigo Takamori who was standing beside him with some hesitation, as if asking for his opinion.

Saigo Takamori nodded, and Ryoma Sakamoto opened the envelope with apprehension.

Then, Ryoma Sakamoto, with a solemn expression, began to read the command contained in the envelope, and gradually, his hands began to shake slightly, and his expression was even more indescribably nervous.

Saigo Takamori saw this qiē from Sakamoto Ryoma in his eyes, and he was also nervous.

Although this reading order was only a short process, for Saigo Takamori, it felt like a century of long process, but to his relief, Sakamoto Ryoma finally read the order.

However, Saigo Takamori found that Sakamoto Ryoma's hands were really shaking, and although he trembled and barely folded the order, he couldn't put it back in the envelope.

His hands were shaking so badly.

Seeing this, Saigo Takamori immediately reached out and took the order and the envelope, then carefully put the order into the envelope, and then handed it back to Sakamoto Ryoma's hand, after doing this, he raised his head again and quietly looked at Sakamoto Ryoma with a pale face.

He was waiting for Ryoma Sakamoto to say something to him.

"Saigo-kun, withdraw the troops." Although Ryoma Sakamoto's face was still ugly, his tone had returned to normal.

Saigo Takamori saw Sakamoto Ryoma say the word withdrawal, and he already understood that Ito Hirobumi's order to Sakamoto Ryoma should have been to let them lead the army to retreat, but, for some reason, after hearing this withdrawal, Saigo Takamori was actually relieved.

To be honest, he also guessed why Ryoma Sakamoto changed his expression after reading the order, of course he could understand Ryoma Sakamoto's mood, he originally said that he would be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but he didn't think that Ito said that he would retreat, which made Ryoma Sakamoto feel better.

However, an order is an order, and as a soldier, Ryoma Sakamoto can only obey Hirobumi Ito's orders.

Looking at Sakamoto Ryoma's face again, Saigo Takamori said cautiously: "General, now in this situation, where are we going?"

After speaking, Saigo Takamori looked at Sakamoto Ryoma with a sad face.

Although the withdrawal of the army is a good thing, but this must be withdrawn well, if the withdrawal is not good, not only will the withdrawal not be effective, but it may also bring worse results, Saigo Takamori does not dare to come nonsense.

"Saigo-kun, don't worry, Commander Ito has already planned for us." Sakamoto Ryoma Yixing Langshan tunnel.

Anyone can hear it, and when Ryoma Sakamoto said this, he was a little dissatisfied.

However, the real meaning contained in the words, the person who said it didn't care, but the person who heard it was very concerned, no, Saigo Takamori couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to express it, he could only steal joy.

Saigo Takamori was inclined to withdraw the army, but he was suffering from retreating and had no way, but Ito Hirobumi even thought about it, could he not be happy.

"Please give me the general." Saigo Takamori has a plate and an eye for the authentic.

Of course, in front of Ryoma Sakamoto, he can't tell his true thoughts directly, and he doesn't dare to stimulate Ryoma Sakamoto.

"The order said that he would retreat from the East Gate, then go south to Inchon to join Commander Ito, and finally hold on to the last line of Incheon, and the Commander also said that he would swear to live and die with Incheon, and he was now also engaged in the battle with the Eighth Army of the Taiping Army, and later, he would also retreat from the West Gate and retreat in the direction of Incheon." Ryoma Sakamoto mechanically finished Hirobumi Ito's order.

When he had finished speaking, he said no more.

"Then, General, shall we withdraw now?" The more times like this, the more Saigo Takamori dared not make a claim.

"Withdraw..."Ryoma Sakamoto still looks wilted.

"Yes, I'll arrange it." Saigo Takamori answered, and then turned around to make arrangements, but after walking a few steps, he turned back again, and then asked, "Who can break the queen?"

This is indeed a problem.

"I'll cut it off personally." Ryoma Sakamoto said without thinking about it.

He seems to have made up his mind.

"How can this be done, General..."Saigo Takamori was a little anxious after hearing Sakamoto Ryoma say that he was going to break it himself.

However, Sakamoto Ryoma interrupted him and said, "Don't say anything more, time is running out, you hurry up and lead the army to retreat, I'll break off."

It seems that Ryoma Sakamoto is determined to break off.

Listening to Sakamoto Ryoma's words, Saigo Takamori faintly had a bad premonition in his heart, and what this premonition was, Saigo Takamori himself couldn't say.

Saigo Takamori hesitated for a moment, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, he could only grit his teeth, slightly clenched his fist to Sakamoto Ryoma, and said, "General, take care, we'll see you in Incheon."

Saigo Takamori and Sakamoto Ryoma have known each other for many years, and they have been partners for many years, and they have a life-changing friendship, so Saigo Takamori doesn't want to see Sakamoto Ryoma have something to do.

Sakamoto Ryoma waved lightly at Saigo Takamori and smiled rarely, but the smile looked very reluctant, and then. He sighed and said, "Goodbye!"

And in the face of such a Sakamoto Ryoma, for some reason, Saigo Takamori always felt a little sad in his heart, but the shape shì was nervous and couldn't allow him to be half-hearted, so he could only hug his fists towards Sakamoto Ryoma again, cherish each other, and then turn around to prepare for the retreat.
