Chapter 374: Big Boss, Small Character
The fierce battle that was raging all around them fell silent at this moment. Whether it was the samurai of the Toyotomi family or the samurai of the coalition army, everyone froze in place as if they were stupid, their thoughts seemed to be condensed all of a sudden, and their consciousness seemed to be violently numb, all of them stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and they were blankly focused on the dead body that was divided into two parts of Katagiri and Moto.
For the famous "Shichiben Gun" under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, these "natives" have long admired the daimyo, and it is precisely because of this that they dare not believe their eyes and dare not admit the facts in front of them! Who would have thought that Katagiri and Yuan, the "seventh gun" of the powerful Jīng Zhan, would give his life so unusually? If you can't even resist three moves, you will be sideways?!
Liu Yu smiled faintly, and shouted in a fierce and lofty voice: "Doglegs of Sumamata City, I limit you to get out of the way before I count to 'three'. Otherwise, you, Katagiri and Gen-sama, are role models! Liu Yu immediately began to count: "One! ”
There is no doubt that the morale of the allied samurai is almost broken at this moment, if it weren't for Liu Yu's words first, they would definitely be able to burst out with one hundred and fifteen percent combat effectiveness and annihilate the Toyotomi samurai in one fell swoop.
On the other hand, the hearts of the Toyotomi warriors scattered around were all cold, and in their trembling and frightened, Liu Yu's second number burst out mercilessly!
The extremely cold "two" was like the sound of a starting gun on a sports field, and the tail note of this number was still swimming in the air, and there were countless screams and strange howls echoing it. In a flash. I saw a figure swaying. The pace was urgent, and all the remnants of the samurai of the Toyotomi family who could still move had already started to run wildly, and fled from the deer in a panic.
After the allied samurai went to hunt down the other Toyotomi warriors at Liu Yu's instructions, Uesugi Chiako walked up and said curiously and interestingly, "Yuden, didn't you say before that you would kill them all?" Why is it so merciful that you let go of all the defeated soldiers at this time? ”
Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu kissed Uesugi Qianxing's pretty face. Laughing: "Do you think I'm compassionate?" ”
Uesugi Chikatsu said in surprise: "Actually, you did let them go......"
Liu Yu pursed his lips and didn't answer, Uesugi Qianxing was about to ask again, but there was a terrible and miserable scream from outside the deer, and it was faintly mixed with angry scolding and the crisp sound of the bowstring!
Uesugi Chiyo was stunned. Suddenly, he said, "You asked people to collect the weapons of those crossbowmen before, just to use them here?" ”
Liu Yu smiled and said, "It's not that I want to use it here." I'm just going to return the favor with the other way, and let people use the Toyotomi family's bow and crossbow to prevent the remnants of the Toyotomi family from escaping from here. I just came here on a whim to test the blocking ability of the coalition's makeshift crossbowmen......"
Uesugi Qianxing glanced at Liu Yu and chuckled: "It turns out that you didn't really release them, but drove them to the Ghost Gate, so I thought you had become merciful......"
Liu Yu said calmly: "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, how could I make such a low-level mistake......" Liu Yu focused his attention on the wise Guangzhong, who had been silent, but did not escape, and asked: "Now that there are no idle people waiting, you should be able to tell your bitterness of returning to the Shun Fengchen family?" ”
Wise Guangzhong opened his mouth, and there was still hesitation on his face.
Liu Yu was a little displeased, his face sank, and he shouted: "If you don't have it, or you can't find a suitable reason, then I can only regret sending you on the road......"
At this moment, Ishikawa Goemon, who was temporarily appointed by Liu Yu as the instructor of the bow and crossbow team, jumped over. "My lord, the seventy-six Toyotomi warriors who fled have all been annihilated by the crossbow team. Although none of them are professional crossbowmen, after my assault training, with the help of bows and crossbows, I can successfully stop deserters. Guaranteed that no fish will slip through the net......"
Liu Yu nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Wise Guangzhong is here." I guess he has something to say to you! ”
Ishikawa Goemon really didn't notice the existence of Akechi Mitsutada, and now when he heard Liu Yu say this, he immediately looked stunned and turned his head to look over. *1*1* And Akechi Mitsutada had already shown a relieved expression the moment Ishikawa Goemon appeared, which is also the reason why Liu Yu would say that sentence.
Seeing Ishikawa Goemon looking over, Akechi Mitsuzhong said with a refreshing attitude that was very different from the indescribable expression when facing Liu Yu: "Young master, the princess is still alive!" ”
Ishikawa Goemon, who was about to speak, was stunned for a moment, grabbed Akechi Mitsutada's shoulder, and said urgently: "Tamako is okay?" Where is she? ”
Akechi Mitsutada elaborated: "Before his death, the lord ordered his subordinates and Ogasawara Shaosai to protect Princess Tamahime to escape, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi's pursuit ability was too strong, and there were many people, for the safety of Princess Tamahime, his subordinates discussed with Ogasawara Shaosai, and decided that his subordinates would take Princess Tamahime to hide, and Ogasawara Shaosai led a large group of men to attract the attention of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga!"
It's a pity that the timing is not secret, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi still found out where his subordinates are hiding. Fortunately, he didn't know the true appearance of Princess Yuji, and thought that Princess Yuji was the daughter of his subordinates. Later, for the safety of Princess Tamahime, I accepted Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invitation and took Princess Tamahime to live in Sumamata Castle.
In the minds of subordinates, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. And the fact is that Princess Tamahime's life has been very peaceful in the past few years, but because Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not very at ease with such a subordinate general, so she can't do whatever she wants on zìyóu, Princess Tamahime hasn't left Momata Castle for three years......"
Ishikawa Goemon patted Akechi Mitsutada's shoulder hard and said gratefully, "Mitsutada, thank you for your hard work...... Where is Tamako now? ”
Sighing, Akechi Mitsutada said: "Originally, my subordinates planned to take advantage of the attack on Sumamata Castle by the eight alliances this time, and escape with Princess Tamahime, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a step ahead and gathered the families of such generals as his subordinates, and together with the felons on death row in Sumamata Castle, they were handed over to the fifth shot of the 'Shigaku Seven Guns' that could not fight because of their injuries Kato Yoshiaki Kato......"
Talking and talking. Akechi Mitsutaka suddenly discovered. Ishikawa Goemon's worried god is gone, replaced by a joyful sè. If it weren't for the clear knowledge of how much Ishikawa Goemon loved Akechi Tamako, Akechi Mitsutada would almost think that Ishikawa Goemon was gloating!
Wise Guangzhong is not stupid, he realized it in an instant, and asked in surprise: "Young master, won't Princess Yuji be in danger?" ”
Nodding, Ishikawa Goemon looked at Liu Yu with admiration and said: "Kato Yoshiaki has long been subdued by the lord, even if there is an order from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he will definitely not hurt those family members and repeat offenders!" So, you can rest assured. There is absolutely no problem with Tamako's safety! ”
Wise Guangzhong smiled, suddenly fell to the ground, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Yudian, please give the order to save Princess Yuji." Wise Guangzhong is willing to sacrifice his life to repay! ”
"Don't worry, just for the sake of Goemon's face, I won't let Akechi Tamako get hurt. You get up first! After thinking about it, Liu Yu said again: "For the sake of insurance, it is inconvenient for you to appear in front of Toyotomi Hideyoshi before Wise Tamako rescues you...... In this way, you and Hideharu Hatano take over this deer with a crossbow team to prevent the remnants of Sumamata Castle from being defeated! ”
After a pause, Liu Yu asked again: "By the way, the crossbowmen of the Toyotomi family will run to meet the enemy outside the deer with a brain." Should it be yours? ”
Nodding, Akechi Mitsuzhong said: "The subordinates and Katagiri and Yuan are responsible for the garrison of this deer barn together, because Katagiri and Yuan are impatient with these things, and they are all handed over to their subordinates to deal with, which is just convenient for their subordinates to do their tricks and reduce the losses of the eight coalition forces......"
After his guess was confirmed, and he understood that this was not the Toyotomi family's strategy to lure the enemy, Liu Yu waved his hand and asked Ishikawa Goemon to take Akechi Mitsutada to meet Hideji Hatano, and then gathered the victorious army to continue the upward march towards the main castle of Sumamata Castle.
Pointing to the two peaks in front of each other. Uesugi Chiako said with a smile: "Yuden, through the peaks and valleys over there, it is the mountainside basin where Sumamata Castle is located......
After staring at it, Liu Yu smiled deeply and said, "If you want to go through." I'm afraid it's not that easy! ”
Uesugi Chiako was slightly stunned, and then she knew why. Because between those two peaks, there is a narrow passage that only allows three people to walk side by side. There were six oppressive figures.
As the distance approached, the outlines of the six people became clearer, and even their facial features came into view, so the sense of suppression that forced the heart became heavier......
Ishikawa Goemon frowned, and whispered: "Lord, the four people standing in the front row are Koroku Wasuka, Maeno Nagayasuke, Inada Daikisuke and Aoyama Shinchi, as for the two people in the back, the subordinates look familiar, but they can't be sure of the origin......"
Uesugi Qianxing's face was a little calm, and she added in Liu Yu's ear: "Yudian, I know those two people!" The older one is the chief teacher of the Ueno family, who has the title of 'Sword Saint', and the other is the new yīn-ryu sect master, who is famous for his 'swordless sword' Yagyu Shibei! ”
Liu Yu was slightly stunned. He couldn't figure it out: shouldn't "peerless masters" like Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Yagyu Shibei appear as the most popular boss? Why did you appear so early at this time, and you are still behind the "little horn sè" of Beesuka Koroku?! This...... This is not scientific!
Perhaps misunderstood Liu Yu's deep groan, Saito Toshizo suggested in a low voice: "Lord, why don't we rush up together and use the tactics of the sea of people to deal with Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Yagyu Shibei?" ”
"Nope." Uesugi Chiako vetoed: "The place in front is narrow, and the widest part can only allow six horsemen to run in parallel, and the crowd tactics will not only not work, but will also make the masters on our side shackled." Yudian, I suggest using a master to assault ......"
"Not busy," Liu Yu shook his head and said quietly: "Let's see their actions before making a decision." ”
When the distance between the two sides was only ten meters, Liu Yu raised his hand to stop the pace of the army and looked coldly at the six enemies opposite.
After a moment of silence, Wasuka Koroku smiled without a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Intruder, it has only been two months, and we have met again, but this time, it was you who led a large army to attack our Sumamata Castle, but I didn't expect it in advance......"
Liu Yu said indifferently: "There are many things you don't expect...... For example, you wouldn't have expected that this day next year would become your taboo? ”
frowned. Bee Suga Koroku bluntly changed the topic and said, "You can break through the deer in front of you so quickly. And clearly know that the mechanism we have buried on the mountain road is probably not all because you or your subordinates are very powerful? ”
Snorting, Liu Yu said: "This is our business, you don't need to know the Dao, and we won't let you know the Dao!" ”
Wasuka Koroku's eyes were cold, and he said murderously: "Tell me, which one of the Sumamata Castles did you buy?" Who betrayed the Toyotomi family? ”
Laughing contemptuously, Liu Yu said, "What is this?" Want to be a ghost? Wasuka Koroku, I'm not as good as you like! You just need to know the way. I am acting in obedience to the name, just because you, Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, have rebelled and betrayed your relatives......"
Taking a deep breath, the corners of Wasuka's eyes twitched imperceptibly. He tried to calm the doubts and anger in his heart, and deliberately spoke in a quiet voice: "Intruder, you don't talk nonsense......"
Liu Yu said slowly: "You understand that I'm not talking nonsense, Bee Suhe Xiaoliu, don't ask questions anymore, you only need to know one thing now, that is, your death has arrived!" ”
With a wild laugh, Bee Suka Koroku's face was slightly distorted, and he waved his hands and shouted: "Intruder, don't take arrogance as confidence. Do you know the current situation of the war? The rebels on the left and right all stopped at Luqi, not only could not advance an inch, but suffered heavy losses. In other words, now your group of people is already alone...... You are already dying, and you still dare to talk nonsense and bewitch the public?! ”
The two of them, Shangquan Nobutsuna and Yagyu Shibei, who had been standing behind Bee Suga Xiaoliu and looking at Liu Yu, only now did they move, Shangquan Xinzuna first laughed and snorted, and walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, looking at Liu Yu with a little oblique gaze. said proudly: "You are Liu Yu, the evil demon from outside the world who has caused chaos in the world and the people have been struggling to make a living recently?" ”
Liu Yu** responded: "Not bad. ”
Kamiizumi Nobu Tsunade said unchanged: "Do you probably know who I am?" I also know who is this person next to me? ”
Liu Yu snorted: "Of course I know that you are the chief teacher of the Ueno family, known as the 'Sword Saint' Shangquan Xingang!" He is the suzerain of the new yīn stream, and he is good at the 'no sword' Yagyu Jubei! ”
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna nodded with a smile, and suddenly his expression sank. His face was like frost: "However, you don't know what you are talking about." I am also the master of Wasuka Koroku, he is one of the only seven true disciples I have had in the past thirty years, and Koroku's only son, Wasuka Stemasa, is a closed disciple of the Yagyu Sect Master! Liu Yu, you have to know that Lu Dao and I and Sect Master Liu Sheng are very protective, now, do you still want to let Xiaoliu die? ”
Emotionally, the reason why Izumi Nobutsuna and Yagyu Shibei will help Toyotomi Hideyoshi is all because of Wasuka Koroku, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's sworn friend?!
Faced with the threat of Shangquan Xingang, Liu Yu said fearlessly: "Master? I don't care what kind of relationship you have! If you don't know right from wrong, you can't distinguish between good and evil, and you have to help you to abuse and force yourself out, I don't mind letting you die together! ”
Shangquan Xingang suddenly laughed, but there was a solemnity hidden in his smile, revealing an extremely strong poison: "Liu Yu, just because you are so presumptuous, I will decide to spare you!" ”
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "You never thought of sparing me, Shangquan Xingang, you originally came with the idea of killing me, as for my attitude, it is no longer in your consideration!" To put it mildly, we are going to go to that dead end after all! ”
Shangquan Xingang said sharply: "Very good, since you understand, I won't bother with you, let's see the real chapter......"
Wasuka Xiaoliu said respectfully to his master: "Master don't be angry, the intruder's retribution is coming, and he will definitely die here." But Master, you don't need to make a move, and watch the disciple take his life! You must know that the first time he was captured, it was the disciple's hand......" Saying that, Bee Suhe Xiaoliu glared at Liu Yu again, and said loudly: "Liu Yu, how about it, the two of us will make a break first!" ”
The depths of Liu Yu's pupils seemed to be shining with a bloody light, the green tendons on his forehead floated, and every word completely burst out from the gap between his lips: "This is the moment I have always dreamed of, Wasuka Koroku, I have been praying for this day for too long......"
Yes, in this illusory world, only the three people who directly caused damage to Liu Yu's body were Bee Suga Koroku, Mori Ranmaru and Yamanaka Shikanosuke, and the latter two had already repaid their debts with their own blood and xìng lives, and now only Bee Suga Koroku was left "at large"!
The two meniscus knives with a faint blue luster were held by Wasuka Xiaoliu's hands, and he said slowly: "I can't wait as much as you do, as long as I think of the turmoil you have caused to this world, I will regret being merciful!" ”
"Are you joking? It's funny...... "Liu Yu slowly pulled out the three rì moon authentic, the wide blade was cold, like autumn water, and the gold sèrì moon pattern inlaid on the blade surface was dazzling, and it was breathtaking. He looked at Wasuka Xiaoliu and said coldly: "You make a move first, otherwise you won't have a chance!" ”
Bee Suga Xiaoliu was not polite, his shot was like electricity, the double knives crossed and slashed from the left and right, Liu Yu attacked head-on, the three rì moon Zhengzong just shook slightly, the two sounds of "sonorous" merged into one, and the two meniscus knives had swung back under the flash of Mars!
A big spin body, Bee Suga Xiaoliu rolled in closely, the double knives have been stacked and swept sharply, and the streamers are intertwined, as if mercury is pouring, and Liu Yu still does not let him dodge, the knife rises and falls, not only fast as stone fire, especially accurate, the knife is on point, and the impermeable one by one kills the enemy's offensive!
(Ask for all kinds of support!) (To be continued......)
