In desperation, he simply gritted his teeth, turned the bow horizontally, and held the bow horizontally!

In this way, you can use the bow even while sitting on the ground.

However, this will inevitably greatly increase the burden on the arms.

But now, he doesn't care about it anymore!

At this moment, Kubota Kiyone was like a large bed crossbow, sparing no effort to provide long-range support, shooting every enemy soldier who tried to get close to Otani Seiichiro and Kondo Shusuke to the ground.

Armed with two knives and a bow, the three old men brought chaos to the enemy army.

It is true that Seiichiro Otani and Shusuke Kondo both have the courage to be invincible.

But... but...

Not only does the enemy have an overwhelming numerical advantage, but they are also equipped with a large number of muskets... Such a huge disparity has already destined this battle to be tragic.

Whoosh!

Another bayonet stabbed Kondo Shusuke.

He twisted slightly to dodge the opponent's stabbing blow, and then stabbed the opponent with his backhand, sending the opponent to hell.

The next moment, he stepped on his heels, ready to move forward, continue to swing his sword, and continue to fight.

But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the dark muzzle of a gun - not far to his left, an enemy soldier held a flintlock gun in his hand and aimed straight at him.

The opponent crouched on the ground, cleverly concealing his figure.

For this reason, Kondo Shusuke failed to discover its existence at the first time.

When Shusuke Kondo found him, his finger was already around the trigger...

At this moment, Kondo Shusuke's posture no longer allowed him to dodge.

then……

Bang!

The bullet that came out of the barrel hit Shusuke Kondo right in the belly!

"Uh...!"

The severe pain caused his facial features to wrinkle into a ball.

He staggered in his steps and almost fell to the ground.

He felt like there was a fire burning in his belly.

A gurgling stream of blood spurted out... What flowed out along with the wound was his whole body's strength and vitality.

This bullet not only severely damaged his body, but also disrupted his rhythm.

He was like a wounded tiger. When the surrounding wolves smelled the smell of blood, they immediately showed their ferocious faces and rushed forward, trying to tear off the flesh and blood from his body.

Bayonets and knives struck at Kondo Shusuke from different directions.

"Shusuke?!"

The male Tan Seiichiro's exclamation came from ahead.

Kondo Shusuke gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words from between his teeth:

"Seiichiro! Don't worry about me! Move forward!!"

Seiichiro Tanani turned his head slightly and used the corner of his eye to check Kondo Shusuke's current situation.

His eyes flickered slightly, and his cheeks were full of strong hesitation... He seemed to be making the most difficult decision in the world.

His hesitation did not last long.

One second later, he withdrew his gaze, looked ahead again, and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

At this moment, his sword skills lost their previous coolness and became extremely rough.

"Kill!" (Russian)

"This old man is dying!"

"Be careful! I recognize him! He is the third generation head of the Tenurishin-ryu clan, Shusuke Kondo!"

"It doesn't matter if he is the third generation or the fourth generation! He is seriously injured now! If we don't take his life, how long will it take?!"

"His head is mine!" (Russian)

Countless enemy soldiers joined this "carnival".

One by one, they all felt that Kondo Shusuke was a soft persimmon at this time, and they couldn't wait to gain credit from him.

Kondo Shusuke didn't even have time to seal the wound, so he could only let the wound in his belly continue to bleed outwards, hold the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and face the vast enemy swarm.

"You want my life? Okay, come on...!"

Sweeping, vertical slashing, diagonal slashing, forward stabbing... He continuously released his sword skills, cutting down every enemy soldier who entered his sword circle.

The wound on his belly made his movements slow.

The cutting speed, reaction speed, and dodge speed are all inferior to Fang Cai.

He kept killing enemy soldiers, but the enemy soldiers also kept creating new wounds on his body.

puff!

A bayonet penetrated his left thigh.

laugh!

A knife hit him on the right shoulder.

Bang!

Another bullet hit him in the stomach.

There are more and more wounds.

The blood flowed more and more.

Gradually, Kondo Shusuke felt that his legs were floating... his consciousness gradually became blurred.

He now wields the knife with sheer willpower and muscle memory.

In a daze, he suddenly remembered A Bi's face.

She became younger and wore ultramarine clothes... He remembered clearly that this was the clothes she was wearing when they met.

(What kind of man do I like? I like a man who is upright. What? Do you want to marry me? So you came here to find out information?)

(Yes, yes! Miss Bi, I think you are really a role model for a daughter of the Wu family. Will you be my wife?)

(Giggle~ Then you have to work harder and strive to become an upright man as soon as possible.)

——Abi, can I become a man who stands upright now?

As soon as he thought about this, Abi's face gradually faded away.

Instead, there was the figure of his adopted son Kondo Isamu.

(Mr. Kondo...ah, no, father! Please take good care of me from now on!)

(Yong, we are already father and son, so there is no need to be so formal! Come, sit over here quickly, as a commemoration of the official marriage of father and son, we will not return home until we get drunk tonight!)

——Yong, have I become an excellent father that makes you proud?

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

A violent cough interrupted all thoughts in his mind.

A large amount of hot blood spurted out from his throat, staining his lips, teeth and collar red.

In an instant...at the moment when he suddenly vomited blood, he suddenly felt that the pain all over his body was fading away.

Even the already blurred consciousness returned to clarity at this moment.

Then, he saw an incredible sight.

"Huh? Xiaosi? Suisan?"

He blinked his eyes in surprise and looked to his left and right - he saw Souji and Hijikata Toshizo standing on his left and right respectively.

No, it’s not just the two of them!

Aoto, Souji, Toshizo Hijikata, Isamu Kondo, Keisuke Yamanan, Genzaburo Inoue, Shinpachi Nagakura, Ichi Saito, Heisuke Toudo, Sanosuke Harada... the little guys appeared one after another and stood around him.

"Old man! Look at the knife!"

At this time, an enemy soldier stepped forward, attacked head-on like a mountain, and rushed toward Kondo Shusuke.

The opponent's slash was as fast as thunder... At this critical moment, Kondo Shusuke subconsciously raised the Erwang Seimi in his palm and used an exquisite move to deflect the opponent's slash to the side.

The enemy was not surprised, but Shusuke Kondo was stunned for the first time - this was not his move.

This special force-reducing technique...is Saito Ichi's specialty.

He didn't know what was happening to him, so his body moved consciously and naturally used Saito Ichi's moves.
To be continued...
