Chapter 12: The Shadow Warrior
A rain of arrows suddenly shot out and poured down on the team. Fortunately, everyone was well armored and protected, so they wouldn't suffer too much substantial damage.
According to the technology of this era, it is necessary to use a heavy vine hard bow and shoot with all your strength at twenty or thirty paces in order to have a noteworthy armor-piercing effect on the current world. But if you can reach this distance, there is generally no chance of calmly bending the bow and arrows.
Today's long-range attacks by ambushes on both sides obviously do not have much killing effect, but are used to suppress first, demoralize, and cooperate with friendly charges.
After all, even if the arrow does not penetrate the armor, it will always hurt when it hits the body, and if you don't wear a good cushion inside, you can get a little bruised, swollen and painful skin injury. If it weren't for the talented fierce man with a tiger's back, he would be hit several times in a row, and his mobility would inevitably be greatly reduced.
That's not the point, though.
Regardless of whether there was an immediate death or not, the fact that he was ambushed in the mountains in the first place is quite striking!
In particular, his old man was invited to meet some "Harima Yoshishi" who wanted to defect.
Obviously, the smell of conspiracy is already quite strong and cannot be concealed.
Araki Murashige was about to be scared silly on the spot, in every sense - what should I do if I die here today? What should I do if I am not dead, but I am dead? What should I do if I ran out without dying and ran out, but I was immediately held accountable?
It seems that no matter what, there can't be a good ending!
As soon as his mind turned, he collapsed to the ground, trembling so hard that he didn't even have the strength to draw his sword.
Subconsciously looked up at the big black horse, and his eyes were desperate.
Then, in an instant, his consternation multiplied several times, and his heart was pounding and almost jumping out of his throat!
I saw that the samurai who rode a tall horse, wore black lacquer and gold-edged southern barbarians, and wore two treasure swords, one long and one short, calmly turned over and dismounted, drew his sword and looked around the left and right, laughed twice, and roared loudly: "You have been tricked, the contemptible person is the Hanoi Kunino Kazehisa, and today I have come to serve as the shadow warrior of the Great Peace!" ”
When the words landed, Arakimura was dumbfounded and at a loss.
The surrounding ambush soldiers also seemed to be stunned for a while, and let out a "Huh? "Huh?" "Are we going to continue?" "Is it really just a shadow warrior?" doubts.
The scene did not look professional at all.
Of course, they can't be blamed, in this era, there are no professional special forces in the first place.
Ninjas occasionally engage in assassinations, pay attention to taking advantage of the enemy's negligence, and succeed in one blow, not just head-on with the heavily armored samurai.
Then an angry voice sounded, "Bastard! This is obviously a tie in the hurry! He's definitely a tie! Hurry up and give it to me! ”
The self-proclaimed "Noma Kukaze" Shadow Warrior smiled contemptuously and roared back, "You still have to care about your own back!" How could Lord Tie Da Nayan be deceived by such a stupid scheme! ”
These words reached Araki Murashige's ears, and he was red-faced and eager to find a hole to get into.
So much so that the angry voice was a little familiar, and I didn't have time to think about it.
I really pondered it, and there were a lot of doubts before and after this matter, why didn't I realize it before?
It's all too rushed...... Seeing that several fronts of the Tie family were moving at the same time, the scene was spread out so big that he had no room to play, so when it came to Harima, he unconsciously lost his mind......
While reflecting on the lessons of blood and tears, Araki Murashige also understood that the person on the horse was really a shadow warrior, and he was definitely not a tie for the Great Nayan himself. The body shape is almost the same, the appearance is slightly different, and after wearing the armor, it is indeed easy to confuse if you don't look carefully. However, the voice is completely different, and if you say a few more words, it will be obvious that you are exposed.
Your old man had expected a deception, but he didn't know that he would let me come here alone to take risks!
- At the first time, Arakimura complained in his heart, but after thinking about it, he realized that today's incident was caused by himself...... Could it be that it is also regarded as a conspiracy colleague?
At least, it's the object of suspicion!
There's really nowhere to cry out......
It's too late to think about it, let's get out alive first.
The ambush had already rushed over, and Arakimura got up again, drawing his sword, ready to fight.
He also brought more than a dozen powerful retinues with him, and his own martial arts skills were also good, and he was not afraid of the scene of swords and swords, but only worried about how to make a stand to the tie army.
Of course, it is most direct and effective to show it with action.
Thinking of this Araki Village, he was ruthless again, and shouted: "Tie is like a god, I have seen the strategy of Pier and other strategies, and I will lead you to the bait, haha, take your life!" ”
As he spoke, he brought his retinue and went up to meet the attacking ambush soldiers.
Pulling out the knife, there was no blood yet, and when I looked up, it was someone I knew!
Dozens of steps away in front of him, there was a tall and thin square-faced enemy commander, wearing light armor and holding a sword, surrounded by a group of soldiers dressed as samurai and ninjas.
It's true, when the enemies see each other, their eyes are red.
When I looked here, I stared at the other side at the same time.
Endo Naojing's eyes suddenly burst into flames: "Araki Murashige! You bastard! In the Battle of Ishikawa that day, if you hadn't shamelessly defected, how could a tie thief steal the world? The great revenge of Isano, Asu, and Nomura will be avenged today! ”
Arakimura Shigezi was disdainful, but in order not to fall into the momentum, he also responded: "You Asai family don't know the current affairs and kill yourself, how can you blame others?" I'm just going with the flow! A tie is the destiny of heaven! ”
"Nonsense!" Endo was clumsy, and he couldn't think of words to refute it, so he only raised his knife and shouted: "I'll cut off your tongue later, and see if I can reverse black and white!" ”
"Let's try it!" Araki Murashige found a rhythm: "Today I will die, and I will also die as the lord of a country, and my children and grandchildren will be rich and noble!" I don't know how many Zhixing you have now? A few sons have a point, and the concubines are afraid that they will have to save money and reduce food and clothing, right? ”
This is said in a vulgar and vulgar manner, but it is vulgar and level.
The soldiers on the tie side seemed to be a little more warlike, while the ambush side seemed to be affected by a little ethereal.
After a few words, the two sides were already in one place.
It seems that Endo Naokei has brought a lot of people with him, but the weapons and equipment are relatively messy, on the other hand, there are only one hundred and ten guards around the "Shadow Warrior", but half of them are wearing armor.
Walking and stopping for a morning, I was so tired that I didn't have the strength to run and charge. But shoulder to shoulder, back to back, and sticking to defense, it can still be done.
The two sides fought viciously in this mountain forest for a while, and after about a quarter of an hour or two, suddenly there was a great noise, and many soldiers were killed in all directions.
Occasionally, the flag of the Tie family can be seen
The positions of the ambushed and the ambushed, were exchanged.
