The moment he heard the gunshot, Sugitani Zenjubo instinctively leaned over and realized that it was not him who had hit him. A ninja on his left, who was reloading, was shot in the chest and fell to the ground screaming.

"So fast." Sugitani Zenjubo sighed secretly, poked his head out of a rock on a hillside and looked down, only to see a blonde man hiding behind the carriage and quickly reloading, as if he had fired the shot just now.

"Something, that's what you call the sharpshooter." Sugitani Zenjubo smiled with some surprise and said, "I didn't expect this archer to play with iron cannons twice!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Charlie raised his gun again to aim. In an instant, the smoke rose again, and Sugitani's Zenjubo hurriedly pulled out, and Charlie's projectile hit the rock where he was hiding, collapsing a few corners of the rock.

"It's getting more and more interesting." Sugitani Zenjubo licked the corners of his mouth, and with some excitement, he took out his iron cannon from his back and participated in the battle himself. He quickly began to reload, then lit the arquebus, leaned over and took a look, barely aiming before firing a shot at full screen. Seeing this, Charlie hurriedly rolled over to avoid the projectile, and at the same time signaled Yu Qiuping and others to quickly ride their horses and flee.

Just as Yuakihei, Honda Tadakatsu, Ryuko, and the other guards were about to untie their horses from their carriages and flee on horseback, they were immediately opened fire on them by iron cannons. They were fine, but the horses were all shot. The horses moved violently from the pain, and finally collapsed in a pool of blood.

Yu Qiuping had no choice but to flee on foot, but there seemed to be a lot of iron cannon ninjas on Koya Mountain, and before they could run a few steps on the official road, two guards had already been shot and killed. Yu Qiuping saw that there was no way, so he had to hide in the valley side of Koyasan, which was the blind spot of the pair of iron gunners.

Charlie, on the other hand, fought and retreated at the end of the team. There seems to be a very good iron gunner on the mountain, and Charlie has seen him several times, and he seems to be dressed in gray. Even though Charlie frequently changes cover, he is always quick to anticipate and shoot.

"If he had been armed with a bow and arrows instead of an iron cannon, I would have died long ago." Charlie secretly rejoiced in his heart, and at the same time seized every opportunity to fight back. Under his accurate and rapid fire, four of Sugitani's men were shot by him from the foot of the mountain.

"It's really interesting!" Sugitani Zenjubo saw that his men were shot to death by Charlie one after another, but instead of being angry, he laughed angrily, and chased all the way down the hill very excitedly, "If you meet an opponent, you won't be allowed to run easily!" ”

·

Yu Qiuping and the remaining guards retreated into the valley, and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, another gunfire rang out on the other side of the valley, and two more guards fell in an instant.

"Something bad!" Yu Qiuping could see at a glance that something was wrong. The shooting just now must have forced them into this valley. Now if you want to turn around and rush out, you have to brave the fire of two people, so you have to rush in the mountains.

"Is it from the Miyoshi family?" Yu Qiuping secretly screamed in his heart, "Did you find my traces?" But if the Miyoshi family finds out my traces and wants to assassinate me, why don't they solve it in the territory of the Miyoshi family, but drag it to Kii? ”

However, the assassin obviously didn't give Yu Qiuping much time to think, and the sound of iron cannon fire continued to sound behind him. Yu Qiuping and the rest of the guards continued to flee along the valley towards the mountains in confusion, and only Charlie had a chance to fight back.

Charlie took a few quick steps each time, then found a cover to hide, quickly reloaded, and then rolled over and quickly took aim, shooting at the ninjas pursuing in the mountains. So far, he has barely shot an empty shot. And the Shantani Zenjubo on the top of the mountain is also getting bigger and more energetic, repeatedly shooting Yu Qiuping's guards. Charlie and Sugitani's Zenjubo seem to be getting more energetic, and every time Sugitani's Zenjubo hits a guard, Charlie must shoot back and shoot a Sugitani's Ninja. And if Sugitani Zenjubo's shot was aimed at Charlie, after Charlie dodged, he would shoot back at Sugitani's Zenjubo, and Sugitani Zenjubo's was also in danger.

"It's really interesting! Interesting! The more Sugitani Zenjubo fought, the more excited he became, and he faintly felt that he was invincible, "It's just that so many of us besiege him as a shooter, which is inevitably a little unfair, so that he can't come up with all the means!" ”

Along the way, everyone stumbled, and two more guards were killed one after another, leaving only Honda Tadakatsu, Ryuko, Charlie and three other guards by Yu Qiuping's side. And the iron gunners on the cliffs on both sides are still chasing after them. The valley was so flat because there was a river in the middle that there was no shelter to hide. Suddenly, the seven of them found a somewhat deserted log cabin by the creek in the valley. The crowd didn't have time to think and immediately rushed in.

After hiding in the cabin, Ryuko immediately slammed the wooden door behind him with his backhand. Almost at the same moment, there were several loud "knocks" on the wooden door, and there were several more bullet holes. The pursuing ninjas shot at the cabin for a few rounds, and when they found that it had no effect, they stopped firing, as if waiting for something.

"Is it finally safe?" After Yu Qiuping saw the gunshot, he let out a sigh, "Now we have to find a way to get out!" We definitely won't be able to contact the main army here, so let's see if we can escape from the mountains, and then find a way to make a detour back to Maple Mountain City. ”

Just as Yu Qiuping was pondering a safe retreat route, Long Zi suddenly let out an exclamation: "Your Highness! Not good! ”

"What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping was taken aback by Ryuko, and turned to look, "What happened?" ”

"Above! Topmost! Ryuko, who had just retracted his head from the window, pointed in horror to the cliff, "There are rolling stones and sassal wood!" ”

Yu Qiuping was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly poked his head out of the window next to the dragon and looked up, only to see that on the cliff directly above the log cabin where they were, their attackers used rattan nets to carry a large number of sassal logs and rolling stones, hanging above the log cabin, which could be smashed down at any time—smashing the log cabin and the people inside into powder.

"I'll go!" Yu Qiuping hurriedly pulled back, his mind blank in horror. He took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down, and analyzed the situation in front of him: "This is a planned attack, and they have long wanted to ambush us in this cabin. If we don't leave this wooden house, we will be all finished as soon as the rolling stone and sasswood on the cliff falls. However, if you force yourself out of the hut, you will immediately be beaten into dice by the iron cannons on the cliffs on both sides. ”

"What should I do?" Just as Yu Qiuping was meditating, trying to come up with a way to get out immediately, a shout suddenly came from outside the wooden house.

·

"It's rain and autumn leaves inside!" A greeting suddenly sounded not far from the door, which surprised everyone.

"It's very close, no more than three feet." Yu Qiuping immediately made a judgment based on his voice, and at the same time asked rhetorically: "Nameless junior, who are you?" ”

"Your uncle is Sugitani Zenjubo, the first iron gunner in Kinki." Sugitani's Zenjubo shot back unceremoniously: "Don't bother to run away, even the birds in the forest can't hide from my gun, what are you?" ”

"Sugitani Zenjubo, a member of the Rokkaku family, is probably the leader of this group of people." Yu Qiuping asked for the key information with a radical method, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "If you can hold him hostage, you will have a chance to escape smoothly." ”

Yu Qiupei then gestured to Honda Tadakatsu and Ryuko, and the two of them immediately moved quietly to the side of the door, ready to rush out at any moment.

However, there are dozens of iron gunners on the cliff. The danger of the two of them rushing out is also very great, and Yu Qiuping can't make up his mind for a long time, whether to let the two of them go to the Sugitani Zenjumibo hostage.

However, Sugitani Zenjubo's next words surprised everyone present.

"Rainy autumn and red leaves, Lao Tzu has no time to pay attention to you for the time being, I am here to find your Nanban archer!"

Everyone in the room turned their eyes to Charlie when they heard this, and Charlie also looked at the wooden door with a puzzled expression.

"You know very well now, there are falling rocks on your head, and there are iron gunners all around, and it is already a dead end." After laughing arrogantly a few times, Sugitani Zenjubo changed his tone and said in a low voice: "But you sharpshooter has something, and he can actually have a back and forth with me, just now it has always been that we have more people and fewer people, and we can't feel it, so it's a pity to kill you like this." It's rare to meet a good opponent, and it's a shame not to enjoy the experience of shooting you to death in a one-on-one archery contest. ”

"How about I'll give you a chance to go head-to-head?" Sugitani's Zenjubo then issued an invitation in a mocking tone, "You come out, let's find a place to fight with iron cannons." If you kill me, I'll let you go. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only in the wooden house, but also on the cliffs on both sides, there was an uproar.

"What are you going to do, sir? Don't forget the mission? The gunners on the hill shouted.

"Shut up!" Sugitani Zenjubo yelled unceremoniously, and immediately quieted down those iron gunners, "I have been practicing marksmanship for so many years, and what I want is the joy of killing masters, you know!" Execute my order, if that Nanban kills me, let the rain and autumn red leaves go, do you hear! ”

"My lord, but..." Another ninja wanted to object, but Sugitani Zenjubo shot him directly with his backhand and collapsed on the rock beside him, so frightened that the ninja couldn't say a word.

"Gorou, you now go back to the ninja with my orders." Sugitani Zenjubo shouted loudly to one of his subordinates, "If I die, but Yuqiu Hongye is killed by a few of them in breach of contract, you will kill all their families!" ”

The ninja who was called Gorou nodded, and then quickly left. At this moment, the ninjas on the cliff were completely wilted, and they knew that their leader could really do such a thing.

"How's it going, are you relieved now?" Sugitani Zenjubo folded his hands on his waist and shouted at the cabin again.

"Your Highness, what should I do?" Seeing this, Longzi lowered his voice and asked Yu Qiuping, "Do you still want to hold him hostage, or..."

Yu Qiuping did not answer immediately, but set his eyes on Charlie. This matter should be chosen by Charlie himself.

Charlie's face was resolute, he didn't hesitate much, and after saluting Yu Qiuping, he pushed open the wooden door and walked out.

If I don't fight, no one will be able to escape. Even if he didn't mean to fight me alone at all, he just wanted to trap me, but what difference was there between staying in the cabin and being stoned to death?

If I win the battle and his words happen to be believed, everyone will survive.

If you fight, you have a chance to live. No fighting, only death.

There's nothing to choose from, not to mention being able to play against someone who is skilled in archery is something that archers crave.

Without fear, he met the excited eyes of Zen Sugitani with his blue pupils.

Come on.
