Chapter 30: New Discoveries

However, the reality does not allow Burning Sky to think too much, and the group of ninjas, under the command of the leader, have already rushed towards the Burning Sky and the others in the formation with all kinds of weapons.

Holding his sword in his hand, he pointed at the ninja who rushed and shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" The Kozan peasant drew his vine bow and fired a wave of arrows at the ninja who rushed at him. The rushing ninja fell, but showed no fear and continued to rush in the direction of Wasuka Masakatsu.

Wasuka Masakatsu stared at the ninja who was almost twice his own strength gradually approaching, turned to his ashigaru and said, "Behead the third level, reward Yongle Tongbao consistently!" Then Masakatsu Wasuka shouted, "The time has come to dedicate oneself to my family!" With that, he rushed into the ninja who was killed, and his subordinate Ashigaru saw this, and also rushed towards the ninja with a spear.

While ordering all the peasants and soldiers to organize their military formations, he said to the excited Mingshan and the unusually calm Fushiwa Mingjiro: "Mingjiro, Mingshan, the time has come to dedicate yourself to your family!" "After Wasuka Masakatsu stabbed into the back of the ninja with fifty points, Burning Sky also rushed towards the enemy ninja with the peasants of Koyama.

Burning Sky slashed over a ninja who was unprotected by armor, and then helped Mingshan stand out from the encirclement of five enemy ninjas. Akijiro Fushiwa, who was armed with a long sword, shone in this kind of melee, and as soon as he made contact, he cut down six or seven enemies in a row, so that the enemy only dared to keep a certain distance from him, and did not dare to come forward to fight him.

After some hard work, the people of the Burning Sky found that the situation was gradually developing in a direction that was not in their favor. The enemy is not to mention familiar with the terrain, and the stronghold is likely to be nearby. Coupled with the current battle situation, the further back it drags on, the fewer people on the side of the burning air, coupled with the instability of the South Omi area, even if the burning sky and others defeat the enemy in a bloody battle in the end, they are only afraid that they will become the guns of the nearby warriors.

After slashing down the ninja in front of him with a single sword, the fighting Bee Suga Masakatsu shouted to the burning sky who was fighting the side: "Mingshamen, the plan is successful, quickly fire the cannon to signal the lord!" ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky immediately understood what Wasuka Masakatsu meant, and then said to Mingshan, who was still gasping on his side: "Mingshan, quickly fire the cannon!" Mingshan was a little confused after hearing this, but he still subconsciously stuck the naginata knife on the ground, opened the box he was carrying, and took out the delicate iron cannon in the box.

The ninja listened to the conversation between Masakatsu Wasuka and Burning Sky, and saw someone next to Burning Sky with a very beautiful iron cannon, so they hurriedly reported the news to the leader hidden among the ninjas. The leader hesitated for a few moments, and then shouted to his men who were fighting hard, "Enemy attack, retreat!" ”

When the ninjas heard their leader's words, they immediately stopped fighting with Burning Sky and the others, and after throwing white powder to block everyone's view, they retreated like a tide, turning around and hiding in the trees on both sides of the road that had just sprouted green shoots.

Seeing that the ninjas were gradually dispersing, Wasuka Masakatsu stopped the ashigaru who were trying to catch up, and then turned to the burning sky who was counting the number of people and said, "Mingshamon, these are not ninjas!" When the interrupted Burning Sky heard this, he turned around and asked the solemn-looking Wasuka Masakatsu, "Wasuka-sama, do you know what's going on?" ”

After listening to the words of the Burning Sky, Wasuka Masakatsu did not take the words of the Burning Sky, but his face gradually changed and asked the Burning Sky: "Over there in Mingshamen, how is the battle situation?" Burning Sky saw that Suga Masakatsu didn't want to take the conversation, and didn't continue to ask the question. He pointed to the corpse on the ground with his hand and said, "The Jiashan peasant soldiers killed five and wounded nine, and killed a total of nineteen enemies. ”

After hearing this, Wasuka Masakatsu said to the burning sky: "I didn't expect those people from Koshu to be quite able to fight, I killed eleven in this battle, wounded more than twenty, and killed a total of thirty-seven people." After saying that, Wasuka Masakatsu said to his subordinate Ashigaru: "Quickly cut off the enemy's head and return to Yokoyama Castle!" ”

After that, Wasuka Masakatsu came to the coolies who were hiding behind the wooden carts, kicked down a coolie who was squatting on the ground, and shouted at them, "What are you hiding? Hurry up and ship the iron cannons! After seeing this, he first raised his hand and wanted to say something, and then quietly put it down, after all, this is the survival principle of this era, "the law of the jungle", and there is no need for him to act as a "virgin".

Even though he didn't want to care about it, he still walked over and said to Wasuka Masakatsu, "Lord Wasuka, why can't you get along with these pariahs!" After pacifying Wasuka Masakatsu, Burning Sky said to the coolies: "If you can quickly load the iron cannon back to Yokoyama Castle, I will ask Yokoyama Castle Dai, Kinoshita Hideyoshi-sama, to reward you with some food, otherwise you will still have to eat half a rice ball every day to satisfy your hunger!" Alright, you guys collect the things on the dead ashigaru and ninja first, and hurry up and ship the iron cannon when you're done! ”

The coolies did not respond but silently began to act, and after giving the last trace of mercy to these coolies in their hearts, they were about to turn away, when several figures of the coolies attracted the attention of Burning Sky. Burning Sky immediately grabbed the naginata knife in his hand and walked over to the few people who were being noticed by Burning Sky.

When the coolies saw the monk and samurai walking towards several of them, they were all extremely frightened, after all, if the samurai saw that he was unhappy, he did not need to bear any responsibility. All the coolies shrank back, trying to avoid the gaze of the burning sky. But the Burning Sky still stopped in front of those people, and the Burning Sky looked at the black and thin coolies in front of him, who were almost out of shape, and said to them, "Stretch out your hand!" ”

Wasuka Masakatsu, who had already left, heard movement behind him, and immediately turned around and came to Burning Sky's side, after hearing Burning Sky's words, he thought that these coolies had stolen the rice balls and grain bags on his own dead Ashigaru, so he was immediately furious, and was about to draw his knife to cut these coolies, but he heard Burning Sky say: "You used to be a son of the martial arts?" ”

After hearing this, Wasuka Masakatsu immediately looked at the outstretched hands in front of him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said to those people, "Where is your hometown?" ”

After hearing this, the few people glanced at each other, and the last coolie, who looked a little older, whispered to Burning Sky and Wasuka Masakatsu, "We were originally Sunfu samurai. ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky and Wasuka Masakatsu also glanced at each other, and then Wasuka Masakatsu said to the coolies: "Okay, you all go to work!" Burning Sky also turned around and came to a quiet place not far from the crowd with Wasuka Masakatsu. Seeing that no one was around, he said to the burning sky: "This is not a ninja, but a samurai, how did Ming Shamen see it?" After hearing this, Burning Sky also replied to Wasuka Masakatsu, "I wonder what the Lord said before, 'The person who attacked is not a ninja', what does this mean?" ”
