Hikten was washing his two horses in a small river next to the barracks, and the Far Eastern Company had spent a lot of energy transporting all the horses of the four cavalry divisions.

Fortunately, the port of Busan is not far from Kyushu Island, only about 200 kilometers. The company's offshore steam deck barge can make a round trip in just one day and one night. Even so, when Hikten first landed in Japan, he still worked as an infantry for a few days, and later the war horse was transported to Japan, and it was always relied on only one war horse.

Fortunately, the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Military Commission did not need so many cavalry to deal with a group of turtles on Kyushu Island. Moreover, the terrain here in Japan is rarely able to fully unfold tens of thousands of cavalry, and cavalry units generally participate in battles in battalions.

"Hikten, it's time for us to patrol...... You're going to ...... quickly."

The platoon commander shouted at him loudly from a distance, and Hikten hurriedly agreed, and then quickly pressed the harness of the two war horses on the saddle, mounted the war horses and rushed towards the place where the troops were assembled.

Hikten's cavalry brigade was stationed near Kurume Castle, and their platoon would carry out a patrol every day. Although the Arima family of the Kurume Domain has been annihilated, there are still some samurai Ashigaru who escaped. In addition, Kyushu Island is located in a remote area, and the people have always been fierce, and it can be regarded as a poor mountain and bad water.

The Far Eastern Army wiped out the daimyo from all over Kyushu and some organized resistance, but the Far Eastern Army in all parts of Kyushu was still often attacked by the locals, especially the attacks of small groups of samurai and ashigaru.

Gao Jianguo was furious, and concentrated the low-level civilians in various parts of Kyushu Island in a certain area to manage the Japanese civilians. Then the troops were ordered to carry out a large-scale sweep of the island of Kyushu, carrying out indiscriminate attacks.

Anyway, as long as the Japanese are found, it doesn't matter whether they are resistance forces or not, and it doesn't matter if they are men, women, young or old. Kill one when you see one. Many villages in remote mountainous areas were also slaughtered by the Far Eastern Army.

In order to exterminate the remnants of the daimyo on Kyushu Island, a lot of effort was wasted, and almost all of the troops that were good at mountain warfare, such as the Death Army, the Mountain Brigade, and the Outer Tohoku Militia Brigade, participated in the battle. In the end, airships, armored vehicles, artillery and cavalry were basically used. Even Liu Baoguo's special combat team was dispatched several times before it could be regarded as completely eradicating most of the resistance forces on Kyushu Island.

The battle to sweep Kyushu Island was full of bloodshed and brutality, and no one counted how many people were killed, and there were countless low-level civilians killed by mistake, many generations of mountain people living in the mountains, and civilians who fled to the mountains. They all died under the indiscriminate blows of the Far Eastern Army, and corpses were strewn everywhere in many places.

As a result, many parts of Kyushu Island became a no-man's land after many years, and later the low-level civilians on the island were gradually relocated to construction sites, farms, colonies and mines in various parts of the Far East. The Kyushu region, which was originally a strong and prosperous people, has almost become an inaccessible island.

Hikten rode his war horse and followed the whole platoon of officers and soldiers along the country roads near Kurume Castle. Hikten looked at a village on the side of the road that had been reduced to ashes. This village is home to a few remnants of the Arima family. The chickens and dogs killed by the Far Eastern Army were not left.

He took part in the operation at that time, and the whole village of men, women and children. More than a few hundred people died at the hands of the indigenous cavalry of the Outer Northeast, and Hikten killed several with his own hands, including women and children. Whenever the troops patrolled here, Hikten's heart was a little heavy, and the children who died in his hands cried bitterly before they died. It still often appears in his dreams.

Hickten turned his head and deliberately did not look at the wreckage of the village, although the uncomfortable feeling had slowly faded a lot over time. But he still didn't want to see the village that had been filled with cries and screams.

The cavalry platoon patrolled until noon, and today's patrol mission was half completed. They had to rush to a nearby village to rest and return to their camp after lunch. It was also a Japanese village, because the military council issued an order that during the period when the troops swept away the resistance in Kyushu, civilians from all over the country were moved to designated places and centralized.

So this village, which originally had only more than 100 households, suddenly squeezed into nearly 1,000 people. There were all kinds of straw huts set up everywhere, and they were crowded with Japanese civilians from all over the country, and it seemed extremely chaotic. Although the autumn in Kyushu is far less cold than that in the outer northeast, it is still uncomfortable in the morning and evening, especially when it rains, the damp and wet weather, and the bones are cold.

Although there was chaos everywhere in the village, the Japanese peasants gathered here were very orderly, both adults and children, although they were trembling, but they still stayed in their makeshift grass huts and worked hard, and they barely fed their stomachs by eating two meals of gruel every day for various labors for the Far Eastern Army.

The horses of the cavalry platoon slowly stepped into the village, and several samurai who were in charge of guarding the death army troops here immediately bowed dozens of degrees to them, and the samurai led by them shouted in broken Chinese: "My lord, you have worked hard...... Lunch is ready for you......"

The cavalry of the Outer Northeast Indigenous Cavalry Division looked very good, each equipped with two Mongolian war horses, plus a set of equipment armor that made the turtles blush, so that these newly built daredevils who did not know the situation always thought that Hikten was a very noble warrior in the Far East.

After all, Japan lacks horses, and the cavalry is very limited, and only the samurai of various daimyo can be equipped with some war horses. And they are all dwarf Kiso horses, compared to Mongolian horses, it is simply a rush for Japanese girls and Nordic girls to stand together.

Hikten didn't like these daredevils, he had fought Kurume Castle with them. At that time, the resistance of the Arima family was very fierce, so the troops were given the order to slaughter the castle.

Kurume Castle and the castle town are not big, but they still killed for two days before sealing the sword. At that time, these daredevils left a deep impression on Hikten, they were ferocious beasts.

After the order to slaughter the city was given, these guys seemed to have changed into a different person, changing their usual disciplined and polite appearance, and instantly turned into a devil. All of them had eyes as red as blood, and when they stayed by their side, they could clearly feel an eerie murderous aura.

Katana swords were held alof, and they roared into Kurume Castle, slaughtering in a frenzy. Not only killed, but also killed in different ways, beheading, burning, beheading, beheading, smashing corpses and other terrible killing methods, so that Hikten and they only lasted less than an hour before exiting Kurume City.

Leaving behind a bunch of beasts, a bloody is waged unscrupulously in Kurume Castle. If they hadn't been ordered not to kill the women and artisans in the city, it is estimated that there would not have been a single living person left inside and outside the city. (To be continued......)
