702 Fierce battle at the shrine
The corpses carried by the sword drawing team were the same white tiger boys who were killed by Sakamoto Ryoma with a pistol at close range, Xiao Lotian used torches to illuminate himself to distinguish, he was sure that this was the White Tiger Youth League, because the youngest faces on the entire battlefield were these Youth Leagues.
"Call me Matsudaira Rongbao, I need to explain!" Xiao Lotian roared as he gritted his back molars.
Soon Matsudaira Rongho ran over out of breath, and he already knew what was going on on the way. When Xiao Lotian saw him, he shouted angrily, "Give me an explanation, why did your White Tiger members attack Sakamoto Ryoma after the armistice? And they tricked him out in your name! Why ......?"
Matsudaira was covered in sweat, and he bowed ninety degrees, "I'm sorry, Prime Minister, I can swear that I never gave such an order, I'm not a fool, and this won't do any good to the shogunate or me......"
"Prime Minister, no matter how unwise I am Matsudaira Rongbao, I can't do such a thing!"
Maybe it was Matsudaira Rongbao's sincerity that calmed Xiao Lotian down, or maybe it was because the other party really didn't have the motive to do the whole thing, Xiao Lotian's undulating chest gradually calmed down.
"Very good, I will only give you one day, I want the truth of the whole incident, don't try to cover it up, you can't fool me, if I am not satisfied with your answer, then I will find the answer myself......"
Xiao Lotian leaned into Matsudaira Rongbao's ear, "If I can't find an answer in a day, I'll look for ten days, and if I can't find an answer in a month, I'll stay here and look for a year...... I have time, and I would love to celebrate the New Year in Japan, just like I did in the city of Beijing!"
Hiss...... Matsudaira Rongbao gasped, he knew that Xiao Lotian had done it, if the Ryukyu army was stationed in Japan like this, then he would really become a sinner in the whole of Japan.
"Please rest assured, I will give you an explanation!"
"Not only to confess, but also to make Sakamoto Ryoma safe......"
"Hai!" Matsudaira Yoho bowed, then turned around and began to march north with his samurai, shouting "Assemble ......the White Tiger Regiment!"
......
At this time, Sakamoto Ryoma did not die, of course, it was not far from death, the small knife in his hand had been broken, and his left hand was only holding a half-cut blade more than two inches long. There were only two bullets left in the revolver in his right hand, and there were four more wounds on his body, large and small, the most serious being a stab in the ribs, and blood flowed all the way to the body.
Behind Ryoma-kun, there are only two white tiger boys left in the end, and they are Toranosuke and Fujisaburo. The two teenagers had their eyes spitting fire, they never thought that Sakamoto Ryoma not only had the latest revolver, but also was so outstanding in kendo, no wonder the Chiba master of the North Star Sword in Edo Castle would have such a high regard for him.
Killing two White Tiger members with just a small knife is really strong enough, but it's a pity that Sakamoto Ryoma is only one person after all, and he is still covered with wounds, even if he is consumed now, his blood will be drained alive.
"Ryoma Sakamoto, don't run away, fight bravely like a samurai! you're already dead......"
"We respect you as a brave man, so I'll give you a chance to cut my belly, and I, Toranosuke, will personally introduce you to the wrong ......"
Sakamoto Ryoma's eyes were full of flowers, he knew that this was due to excessive blood loss, and if he continued to run like this, he would have to die of exhaustion without the enemy's hands.
At this moment, a dilapidated shrine on the hillside of the road caught his attention, and Ryoma-kun had no choice but to rush into the shrine with no idea what god was enshrined in a wooden house.
Knocking open the wooden door, Ryoma Sakamoto piled up all the clutter in the house at the door, then knelt on the ground and tore off the corners of his clothes and began to bandage the wounds simply.
Don't expect the wound medicine, use a strip of cloth to press the wound and stop the bleeding a little. By the time Ryoma-kun stood up again, Toranosuke and Fujisaburo had already attacked the door.
The size of this shrine was not large, so there were no windows on either side of the gate, and the two samurai of the Youth League could only choose to attack from the main entrance, but they underestimated Ryoma-kun's agility, or despicability, and Toranosuke had just rushed to the door, and a handful of dust was blowing in his face.
Who can guard against these silent hidden weapons in the dark, Toranosuke's eyes were suddenly fascinated by dust, and then there was a sharp pain in his chest, and the half of the small knife in Ryoma-kun's hand slashed through his chest.
"Hmm!" a muffled snort, Toranosuke Teng took three steps back, cold sweat streaming down his forehead, "It's despicable! you're a samurai's disgrace...... Fujisaburo ...... carefully"
It's a pity that a boy is a teenager, and he still lacks battlefield experience, so he raised his left hand to block the dust that came to his face, and drew a circle on his chest with a sword in his right hand in an attempt to prevent Ryoma-kun's attack.
But he never expected that this time Ryoma-kun fired, and the only two bullets left in the revolver hit Fujizaburo's body, one hit the thigh, and the other hit the lower abdomen.
"Saburo, what's wrong with you?" Tiger no Suke yelled.
"It's okay, it's not critical, you can't die...... You're right, he's a disgrace to the samurai!"
The situation suddenly became deadlocked, and Sakamoto Ryoma collected all the miscellaneous items in the shrine and blocked the door, with an empty gun in his hand and a two-inch-long broken blade knife, which was all his weapons.
And the two teenagers outside the door were no better, one of them had tears in the dust in his eyes, and a slanted wound on his chest was more than 20 centimeters long, half an inch into the flesh.
The other one was even worse, he was pierced by a bullet in his thigh, and there was a bullet in his stomach, although it was not a fatal injury, but his combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced.
The current situation is that the hemp pole beats the wolf at both ends, Sakamoto Ryoma shook his head to sober himself up a little, and he was ready to use the procrastination trick.
"Why? Tell me why you killed me! You are a member of Matsudaira Rongbo's White Tigers, and Matsudaira Rongho would never give you such an order, who is going to kill me?"
"No one gave us an order, it was we who decided to kill you, because you are the spokesperson sent to Japan by Xiao Letian, and you are the biggest scourge of Japan......"
I'm not afraid that you will open your mouth, but what I am most afraid of now is that you will not open your mouth. Ryomajun looked up at Dongfang, it was estimated that it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and as long as he could delay the time, he would be safe.
"Yaga! Who instilled this bastard mentality in you! I, Ryoma Sakamoto, am a loyal servant of Japan in life and death, if I am a scourge, why do I offer the Eight Strategies of the ship? Do you know that I am saving the fate of the shogunate?"
Toranosuke couldn't listen to it at all, "No, what kind of bullshit Funakachi Eight Strategies, you can't deceive us, what you said about the Great Political Service, doesn't it just make the shogunate have no rights? And you always hope that the enemy and us will not be able to distinguish between the winner and the loser, you just hope that we will always be civil strife and civil war, right?"
Sakamoto Ryoma's nose is almost crooked, and his heart says What kind of idea is this dog skin upside down, I let Japan die less, shed less blood and retain more vitality, is it wrong?
Ryomajun said earnestly, "You are so stupid, in your eyes, is there only victory and defeat?
"Have you ever thought about how much blood we will shed in Japan, how many people will die, how much wealth will we consume, and how will we renovate and rejuvenate in the future without the vitality of these countries?"
"Takasugi Jin died in battle, he once went to Shanghai, China, he saw with his own eyes the tragic scene after the civil war of an old empire, it can be said that it is hell on earth!"
"Tens of millions of people have died, thousands of miles of plains have been deserted, cities accumulated over thousands of years of civilization have become ruins, and countless riches have not been exhausted...... Is this the Japan you want? Do you want to be like the Qing Dynasty?"
Ryoma Sakamoto yelled: "You have disappointed me so much, you should be the hope of Japan when you are so young! If you always think like this, how can Japan have a future? If you are so narrow-minded, even if you are allowed to get a little cheap for a while in the future, you will only end up in failure!"
Toranosuke and Fujisaburo were shocked by the tragic scene described by Ryoma-kun, they had never heard of such a truth, and the spirit of bushido would not teach them compromise and win-win, all they wanted was simple victory.
The summer days are long, and at this time there has been a trace of fish belly white in the east, Sakamoto Ryoma can vaguely see the two people outside the shrine, he sighed, "It's easy to die, in fact, it's very simple to want me to die, the general or the prince's Excellency ordered, I, Sakamoto Ryoma, will definitely have a disembowelment...... But will the shogun let me die? Will Matsudaira-sama let me die? Not to mention the shogun, if you two can get hope from Matsudaira-sama's mouth that I am dead, then how about I, Ryoma Sakamoto, immediately disemboweled?"
"I swear with the martial arts of my life, the three of us will go to see Matsudaira-sama together, as long as he wants me to die, you don't need to do it, I will die in front of you two immediately, this will not work!"
Sakamoto Ryoma's oath shocked the two young children, they didn't expect the rebellion in the mouth of the Kirigakure little ghost, he would actually say this, he actually dared to face the shogun and Matsudaira-sama.
Could it be that everything we did before was wrong?
But just when they were surprised and distracted, Ryoma saw a figure flashing behind them, "Be careful! someone is attacking ......."
It was too late, and four long bamboo spears stabbed with a whoosh, hitting Toranosuke and Fujizaburo's back and ribs, and three inches into the flesh.
"Ahh
When the sneak attacker emerged from the darkness, the three samurai were furious, and the sneak attackers in the darkness were actually a group of peasants.
That's right, it's either peasant soldiers, it's peasants, a bunch of barefoot peasants in shorts, and the bamboo spear is also the earthen one, there is no iron spear head, but the front of the long bamboo pole is sharpened.
The peasant actually dared to assassinate the samurai, and Ryoma Sakamoto jumped up from the ground and was about to rush out to fight, but as soon as it was dark in front of him, he fell to the ground again, and his blood flowed too much.
