At the moment when Burning Sky looked down at the mist, a shuriken appeared from there and struck straight at Burning Sky's chest.

Burning Sky heard a sharp sound of breaking the sky, and hurriedly jumped back a step. And immediately shouted: "Everyone stoop, beware of the enemy's hidden weapons." With that, he flipped into the house where Shuichi Hasegawa was resting, and woke up Shuichi Hasegawa, who was still in a dream.

At this time, Shuichi Hasegawa was still in a haze, and he scolded the burning sky that disturbed his rest: "Burning the empty sand gate, how can you be so rude!" As soon as Hasegawa Shuichi finished speaking, seven or eight shuriken attacked from all directions. Burning Sky hurriedly threw Hasegawa Shuichi aside, and only then did he barely dodge the shuriken. At this time, Shuichi Hasegawa, who was looking at the shuriken deeply inserted into the floor, suddenly sobered up, and said to the burning sky: "Burning the sky sand gate, thank you very much." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky nodded, and whispered to Hasegawa Shuichi: "Lord Hasegawa, this house can't stay for a long time, and I'll escort the adults to break through here." With that, the Burning Cat came to the door of the house and pulled the door down with a hard pull. Then he waved at Hasegawa, and after a while, Hasegawa thought about it for a while, then bent down and ran behind the door panel. Escorted by the burning sky to rush outside the house.

Burning Sky held the door panel with both hands, and from time to time the sound of bows and arrows piercing the door board sounded in Burning Sky's ears. Those who took refuge in the courtyard saw that the burning sky protected Shuichi Hasegawa with a door panel, so they followed suit. Before long, Hasegawa was tightly protected by three door panels. At this time, Hidetaka Kawajiri and the rest of the standing guards, who were sleeping in armor, were also awakened, and immediately pulled out their knives and rushed out of the house. Villagers from nearby Ando Village also rushed out with weapons of varying lengths.

Seeing that the situation was gone, the enemy ninja quickly retreated, leaving only shuriken and arrows in one place. In order to prevent the enemy ninjas from taking advantage of the chaos, Burning Sky then forcibly gathered the villagers who came nearby, ordered them not to leave, and ordered the villagers who came after him not to approach. In this way, everyone put Hasegawa Shuichigo in the middle and barely held out until dawn.

After dawn, the burning sky let go of the surrounding villagers, and said to Hasegawa Shuichi and Kawajiri Hidetaka: "The enemy misses a single blow, and there should be no more attacks in Azuchi, we only need to send people to the nearby city to rescue, and when the reinforcements arrive, we can return to Gifu under the escort of reinforcements, but the nearest city is still not a small distance." ”

As soon as the words of the burning sky fell, I heard Hasegawa Hideya say: "We should set off before the enemy ninjas have set traps on the road, if we wait for the reinforcements to arrive, I am afraid that the next road will be more difficult, so I decided to set off now, as long as we wait to reach the area of Ono (Owari and Mino) and ask for reinforcements, those small ninjas will not dare to mess around." ”

After speaking, Hasegawa Shuichi looked in the direction of Gifu and said, "I really hope to get to Gifu Castle soon." Seeing that Shuichi Hasegawa had already made a decision, there was no point in saying more, so he gathered all the standing preparations and prepared to pull out.

When Azuchi Maemon heard the news that everyone was going to open immediately, he immediately ran to distribute the rice balls that the villagers had just made to them, and said to Hasegawa Shuichi, "Lord Hasegawa, be careful on the road. ”

When Hasegawa Shu heard this, he nodded slightly, and then flicked his horsewhip and rushed out of Azuchi Village. Burning Sky and the others didn't have time to eat these rice balls, so they hurriedly went to catch up with Shuichi Hasegawa.

Led by Hasegawa Shuichi, everyone rushed all the way towards the junction of Minami Omi and Mino. Along the way, although the sky was dark, there was no wind or rain, and there was no obstacle. Everyone couldn't help but discuss Hasegawa Shuichi's precise judgment, and they all said that although Hasegawa Shuichi was a practicer, he was good at military affairs.

Burning Sky also took the initiative to admit his mistake and showed Shuichi Hasegawa that his previous ideas were immature. Hasegawa Shuichi also just smiled, and said to the burning sky: "Soldiers, if you are not a secretary, you can know, I just followed the lord to fight a lot, and then I learned some strategies." ”

Just as everyone was relaxing as they entered Mino, small snowflakes began to float in the sky, and Shuichi Hasegawa, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but chant a waka. Zhong Changbei couldn't help but think of his wife and children at home when he looked at Xiao Xuehua, and the pace under his feet not only did not slow down, but became more brisk.

The snowflakes in the sky gradually became colorful, and the white monk's headscarf that was burned out soon piled up a thin layer of snow. Just as everyone was relaxing, Burning Sky suddenly tensed all over, and turned sideways to dodge the arrows that came straight to his face. Seeing this, the public immediately surrounded Hasegawa Shuichi in the middle to protect him, while Kawajiri Hidetaka fought side by side with horses and burning the sky.

At this time, the other party was no longer hiding, and walked out of the low forest on both sides in a bright light. Burning Sky, who was riding on a horse, saw the monks and soldiers who were dressed similarly to him not far away and numbered no less than 200, and immediately became nervous.

Some of these monks were armed with naginatas, and some were holding longbows, and although their equipment was a little rudimentary, they burst out with a strong killing intent. This killing intent made the burning sky in the distance shudder, and the burning sky felt that the monk in front of him was not a human life at all, but a Shura who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Before Burning Sky could react, the other party's monks had already launched a charge in the snow towards Burning Sky and the others. This kind of momentum is not only the burning of the sky, but even the military horses under the crotch of the burning of the air can't help but retreat backwards. Not to mention the people who have just gone through a continuous trek and are extremely tired.

Sure enough, before the other party's monks and soldiers rushed over, several of their standing guards had already slipped back with their weapons. Seeing this, Burning Sky shouted: "Xiuxiao will lead ten people to protect the adults to break through from the side, and the rest of the people will form a three-row gun formation and charge with me." While stabbing the military horse in the crotch with his ribs, he launched a counter-charge towards the charging monks.

Hidetaka Kawajiri also immediately retreated after hearing this, escorting Hasegawa Shuichi to break through from the side. At this time, the monks and soldiers immediately divided a part of their men and rushed in the direction of Hasegawa Shuichi's breakthrough.

Before the monks who went to pursue Hasegawa Shuichi could rush a few steps, they were cut down by the sudden incendiary sky. Then those standing guards also rushed into the already somewhat chaotic squad of monks.

Although the burning of the sky slowed down the monks' pursuit of Hasegawa Shuichi, it also put himself and the remaining thirty or so standing guards in a desperate situation of being caught in front and back. The monks and soldiers, who were several times larger than the Burning Sky and others, also immediately made adjustments and surrounded them, wanting to eat the Burning Sky and the others in one bite, and then pursue Hasegawa Shuichi and the others. So before he could ride a horse and assault in the crowd a few times, he was already surrounded by monks and soldiers in the center.

Although the standing guards also resisted with all their might, it was difficult to shake the monks who surrounded them in the center. Gradually, Changbei was cut down by the monks one by one, but the burning of the sky still did not break through from the monks. Burning the air on horseback anxiously, while opening the naginata knife that was slashing at him, he searched for the leader of the monk who commanded the changing monks (this is not the Fang Guan).

Just as Burning Sky was suddenly shot in the chest by an arrow, Burning Sky finally found the leader of the monks standing behind the monks, holding a large longbow. Burning Sky pulled out the arrow stuck in the foot, forced the monks away with the nagina knife in his hand, and then threw the naginata knife in his hand. In a single breath, the naginata cut through the air and plunged straight into the body of the leader of the monks.

Burning Sky didn't care whether it hit or not, he directly pulled out the knife from his waist and rushed in the direction of the leader of the monks. The monks and soldiers were stunned for a few breaths at first, and then rushed towards the incineration like crazy. The standing guards who were struggling to fight a bloody battle suddenly felt their pressure plummet, and they forcibly tore through the encirclement of the monks and soldiers with the remaining dozen or so people, and ran in the direction of Mino.

The burning sky took advantage of the temporary stunned of the monks, protruded from the encirclement of the monks, and pulled out his naginata from the leader of the monks who fell to the ground, and also ran in the direction of Mino. Leaving a group of monks and soldiers behind him to chase after him.
