Chapter 329 The one wearing the wig is Katsura Kogoro!
"Right ahead, the one with the ponytail is Katsura Kogoro!" The Shinsengumi were still frantically chasing Katsura Kogoro and Sakamoto Ryoma who were escaping.
Then in the chaos, Katsura Kogoro took out his sword and chopped off his high ponytail, and ran away in a panic.
After all, the dress of these two people was far worse than that of other samurai warriors from the anti-barbarian sect of this era.
In this era, the warriors of the Expulsion Faction were not really officially recognized warriors. They were all ronin who could not survive, and some Yakuza gathered together, and then became such a group with the help of some people.
Therefore, among those people, Katsura Kogoro and Sakamoto Ryoma, who were dressed in luxurious clothes, were naturally recognized quickly.
In Ikeda House, the backbone of the Kansai anti-barbarian faction was almost completely dead and wounded. Their alliance this time could be said to have lost both their wives and their troops.
Katsura Kogoro and Sakamoto Ryoma took their last five or six cronies and fled frantically. There were originally a mighty number of thirty or forty people, but now only these few are left. The others are all behind the foreign guns and fire in Ikedaya.
Lost everything.
"Damn it! They don't have the soul of a samurai. They have lost all their martial virtues. They actually put on full chainmail and brought several teams of foreign rifles." A samurai who escaped yelled.
"Stop talking, we are about to completely escape from the control of the Shinsengumi." Sakamoto Ryoma's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Several people fled almost non-stop for several hours. At this time, Sakamoto Ryoma saw the big river in front of him and a ferry tied to the shore by the river, and he was suddenly ecstatic.
"Hahahahahaha! God helps me, God helps me!" Ryoma Sakamoto seemed to be going crazy, laughing wildly.
"Why are you laughing, Mr. Sakamoto?" Katsura Kogoro looked at the crazy Sakamoto Ryoma and suddenly felt that he had been hit too hard and was already going crazy.
"Hahaha, I laugh at Hijikata for being such a common man, and I laugh at Shinsengumi leader Isamu Kondo for his short-sightedness. If it were me, I would definitely send a few musketeers to ambush the other side of the shore, and we would probably be dead by then." Sakamoto Ryoma laughed wildly.
He hurried to the shore, ready to cut the rope and cross the river to escape.
Because they were in such a hurry to escape, they didn't even have torches with them, so they had no choice but to escape in the dark under the moonlight.
Fortunately, several people were very familiar with this place and did not get lost.
But just as they drew their swords and prepared to cut off the rope, the light of torches lit up on the other side of the river, and several warriors shouted: "Hurry up! The one who cut off his hair is Katsura Kogoro!"
Katsura Kogoro: "..."
Sakamoto Ryoma: "..."
"What should we do?" Katsura Kogoro asked eagerly.
At this time, behind them were the Shinsengumi from Hijikata Toisho's belt, and on the other side of the river were the musketeers of the Sabaku faction. If they crossed the river, they would be directly targeted by the muskets and shot into briquettes.
And it is autumn now. Although it is not very cold, if the temperature is more than ten degrees and we swim hundreds of meters down the river, it is estimated that several people will die from the cold.
"Change the direction and run, let's escape along the river bank to the north." Several people immediately lowered their bodies and fled towards the north, but a few people still cut off the ropes crossing the bridge and pretended to be crossing the river.
"Hurry up, hurry up! The one with disheveled hair is Katsura Kogoro!" Suddenly there was a firelight behind him.
"The Shinsengumi are still chasing me, you bastards!" Katsura Kogoro swore and hurriedly chopped off the long hair of another samurai, then randomly put it on his head to use as a wig.
Fleeing frantically towards the north again, this time the group fled to a hillside. At this time, there were only four people left in the original No. 6, and the other two stayed behind to delay the new group.
But I can't think about that much. If they die here, the anti-foreigners faction will be finished, and the anti-foreigner cause will probably collapse in the middle.
"Let's take a rest..." Sakamoto Ryoma said, and immediately everyone leaned against the tree, took out the water bottle, drank gulps of water, and kept panting.
After crossing this mountain, they arrived at Himeji Castle in the north of Hyogo. Obviously, they couldn't take the right path and had to climb over the mountain. The slope of this mountain was not very friendly.
"Hahahahahaha!" Suddenly, Sakamoto Ryoma laughed wildly again, this time even louder.
"Why did Mr. Sakamoto laugh again?" Katsura Kogoro couldn't help but ask.
He could never imagine why Ryoma Sakamoto could still laugh in such a situation.
"I laugh at the Shinsengumi's lack of ambition, and I laugh at the short-term fate of the shogunate. Look at this slope. If the shogunate sends people to ambush here, we will die without a burial place." Sakamoto Ryoma laughed wildly, his voice echoing in the valley
spread and reverberate between.
Several people rested for a few minutes and reorganized themselves to prepare to set off. However, after taking a few steps, they were shocked to find fire coming from the front again. They could also hear the samurai shouting loudly: "According to the information from the Shinsengumi,
Katsura Kogoro and the others are running this way, the one wearing the wig is Katsura Kogoro, search for me!"
Katsura Kogoro: "..."
Sakamoto Ryoma: "..."
Several people looked at Sakamoto Ryoma with very unkind eyes, as if they were wondering if he was a traitor.
Katsura Kogoro quickly threw the wig on the ground, gritted his teeth and gave himself a tsukiyo-mei.
Sakamoto Ryoma was also stunned, his face looked as if he had eaten a fly, and then he said: "Right away, why!"
"Stop talking, change the direction and run away. Go to Tottori Prefecture in the north. You can't go north to Hyogo." Katsura Kogoro hurriedly took Sakamoto Ryoma and ran away again.
This time, a close confidant stayed behind, leaving them with only one last bodyguard.
After a long time, it seemed that the sky was getting brighter, and a few people escaped to a lake.
Looking at the lake, Ryoma Sakamoto pointed his finger, cracked the corners of his mouth, and laughed: "Hahaha... Wuwuwuwuwu..."
"Stop laughing! If you keep laughing, we will die here tonight. Do you have anything in your hand to block his mouth?" Katsura Kogoro covered Sakamoto Ryoma's mouth and asked the last guard.
"I still have a piece of cake in my hand."
"Come here, feed Mr. Sakamoto some cake!" Katsura Kogoro shouted.
Then the guards hurriedly stuffed the cake into Sakamoto Ryoma's mouth and dragged him away...
…
Bang!
Bang!
The two swordsmen, Kawakami Hikosai and Okita Souji, continued to fight to the death. Both were looking for bunkers, and they seized the opposite position and fired.
The sparks and bullets of the revolvers danced wildly in the forest, as if it was the time when the bald eagle was expanding into the west.
Both of them treasure the bullets in their hands very much, but they will shoot without mercy as long as they catch each other's figure.
The battle between swordsmen is extremely dangerous, and there is no guarantee that someone will be shot at any time.
"Cough cough cough...wow..." Souji Okita coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn, tuberculosis is here. Damn it, why is it at this time!" He murmured, and just wanted to look around, but suddenly a few bullets hit the trunk of his bunker, and he was so shocked that he quickly retreated.
Then he hurriedly replaced the revolver bullets and fired a series of shots in the direction where the bullets came from.
"Cough cough cough..."
His cough became more violent, and his position was exposed in such a swordsmanship competition. Two more shots were fired soon, and this time they hit his chainmail. Although it was blocked, his ribs seemed to
Got punched.
Under normal circumstances, this punch would not cause any serious harm, but it seemed to aggravate the tuberculosis. Souji Okita fell to his knees coughing, and blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.
"I am victorious, Mr. Katsura. Wait for me to pick you up..." Kawakami Hikosai hurriedly changed the bullet and pointed at Okita Souji, whose half of the body was exposed to his sight.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Suddenly several shots were fired at the bunker where Kawakami Hikosai was, and one shot hit his shoulder. The severe pain left him with no chance to replace the gun with Souji Okita, and the gun in his hand suddenly dropped.
on the ground,
Unlike Okita Souji, who was covered in armor, this shot only felt the pain of piercing the heart.
"The thief has been found! Cover Captain Okita!" came the samurai's shout.
Kawagami Hikosai realized that something was wrong and ran away in a hurry. However, when gunshots rang out behind him, he didn't care and quickly escaped from the place using Shuchichi in the forest.
And in the midst of the random shooting, he felt that his waist was numb again, and he was shot again...
He gritted his teeth, tore open his clothes to block the wound, and ran away frantically, gradually throwing away the pursuers behind him.
"Captain Okita, who is the enemy?" the samurai asked.
"The enemy is the Choshu feudal lord, Battosai Kawagami Hikosai. I learned his swordsmanship, and it is indeed well-deserved..." Souji Okita coughed, but the person next to him immediately handed over Fran's special medicine.
Tuberculosis was suppressed.
When he got there, he stepped on the revolver that Kawagami Hikosai had left behind. If it hadn't been for the onset of tuberculosis, he was confident that he could kill him with the three consecutive spears of the Mysterious Nameless Sword Skill, but he failed in the end.
"Next time we meet, it will be a matter of life and death." Souji Okita said and left the place.
Several people quickly cleaned up the scene and then rushed to Ikedaya to meet with Deputy Captain Hijikata.
This time they won a great victory and killed more than 20 anti-barbarian thieves. Although they failed to capture Katsura Kogoro and Sakamoto Ryoma, the entire anti-barbarian faction in Kansai was exhausted.
"This is the victory of the Samurai Soul! Here is the Shinsengumi!" Toshizo Hijikata shouted, raising the Enfield M1853 with a bayonet attached to it in his hand. The bayonet was still stained with blood in the early morning sun.
"Ho ho ho!"
Among the Shinsengumi samurai, 0 died and 4 were injured. As for the Expulsion faction, 28 died and 0 were injured and captured.
A group of people quickly cleared the scene and took photos and records of many famous Anti-Barbarian thieves. Tomorrow it will become a news report all over Fusang. At that time, the morale of the Anti-Barbarian faction will be greatly suppressed, but their Samu faction will
Morale is boosted.
And the group of people returned to Luye Castle. Except for a few wounded people who were being treated, everyone else tied up their blood-stained turbans again. They came to a courtyard, a small Western-style building in the late Fuso Bakumatsu.
"This is private territory. Do the Shinsengumi want to start a war with the Joestar family?" the guard said with a bit of anger.
Anyone who saw a group of warriors wearing blood-colored turbans and looking like they had just slashed someone rushing here would think that they were also looking for trouble.
"Please inform me that the Shinsengumi is asking to see Mr. Joestar and Mr. Levi." Hijikata Tobizo bowed slightly to the guards and said.
"I...well..." The guard hurriedly fled into the manor and began to report the situation.
And soon, the door was opened and the group of warriors were let in.
This made some guards panic. Even though they had Lee-Enfield rifles in their hands and even a hand-cranked machine gun in the manor, they were still confused.
While Levi and George were drinking their morning coffee, the two spent almost the whole day chatting about the subsequent history of the Joestar family and the subsequent stories of the town of Salem.
Levi was very emotional. Maybe for him, it was only a few months since he last experienced the Salem incident in America, but for people in this world, nearly two hundred years have passed.
The Joestar family has even gone through seven generations, but as of George's generation, the Joestar family has only one lineage.
But the Joestar family has a lot of power and wealth in the UK, and George's son was also born. His name is Jonathan, which is a nice name. However, he cannot go back to see his son yet, so he can only sell the Eastern Market first.
You can go back only after you've finished exploring.
If you go back for a while, you may bring back priceless goods to sell.
As for the gorgeous samurai swords and tea leaves native to Fuso, you can also buy them back home at a good price.
At this moment, a group of dozens of warriors came over and came to Li Wei and others who were drinking coffee.
The guards brought by George were very dedicated. Even though their hands were shaking, they still held up their guns behind them. As long as the warriors made the slightest movement, they would shoot.
However, both Levi and George were very calm. Levi was because of his strength. In this era, to kill him, at least a whole fleet of fully equipped Armada would be needed.
And George didn't panic because he knew Levi's identity.
When they saw Levi, the Shinsengumi samurai all knelt on the ground. Rows of clothes with the word "Sincerity" on a blue background and white clouds looked particularly solemn.
Levi and George were both stunned for a moment.
"Lord God, we have killed all the anti-barbarian trash in Ikedaya. We already understand the future you have shown us. You must want us to change that dark and dirty future and change the extremely disgusting reform government, so
, we have no rivals in front of us. In two days, we will drive straight to Edo. Please, God, please watch us carefully and use our blood to change the dark future of Akatsuki!"
Immediately, Toshizo Hijikata took out a piece of cloth, bit his finger, and wrote his name on it.
Then the strips of cloth were passed one by one, and each Shinsengumi samurai wrote his or her name on it. This was their Book of Death.
Li Wei couldn't understand, and the people in the Shinsengumi also misunderstood what he meant.
However, if they want to change the future, Li Wei thinks they can let them do it. After all, no matter how bad the Samu sect is, it is only bad internally.
As for the war criminals of the anti-barbarian faction, if all ten of them are pulled out and shot, there will definitely be innocent ones, but if nine out of ten are shot, some of them will definitely slip through the net.
