If it was a samurai, he would be full of resentment at Xiao Zhonghe's contemptuous action, so he would come over and fight to the death. But Kamikigawa is not a samurai, he is a ninja.

Ninjas practice ninjutsu, and they will never fight to the death with their enemies unless they have to.

Seeing Xiao Zhonghe waving to him contemptuously, Shenmuchuan quickly took out the blow arrow and sent a fatal arrow at Xiao Zhonghe, then his body suddenly arched, catapulted out backwards, turned around, and continued to run.

Xiao Zhonghe had already taken precautions, his body pounced forward, dodging the arrow sent by Shenmuchuan, and at the same time rolled forward, with a few more stones in his hand, and threw it at Shenmuchuan's back with his backhand.

The first time Xiao Zhonghe used stones as a hidden weapon was to send out several stones at the same time, in order to have a large range, forcing Shenmu Chuan not to continue to run forward when dodging.

But this time, because the Xiao Zhong River is closer to the Shenmu River, a single stone is used to send it out continuously.

Seven or eight angular stones roared towards Kamikigawa's back.

Rao is Shenmu Chuan jumped left and flashed right, but after all, he was hit twice, one in the back, and the other in the popliteal fossa of his right leg.

The blow on his back made Shenmu Chuan's qi and blood surge, and a blow to the popliteal fossa of his right leg directly caused his right leg to weaken and fall to the ground. At this time, the stones of Xiao Zhonghe were still whistling.

The only way to continue dodging the rocks is to roll on the lazy donkey.

After Kankan dodged the stones thrown by Xiao Zhonghe, Shenmuchuan had already rolled on the rocks more than ten times.

At this time, Xiao Zhonghe had already chased after him with a short knife that was only three meters away.

In a hurry, Shenmuchuan pulled out a bamboo whistle, put it in his mouth, and blew it.

It was a whistle to summon a companion to help.

Xiao Zhonghe had no fear, he knew that he had enough time to tease this guy before the companion in front of him arrived.

Standing less than three meters in front of Shenmuchuan, Xiao Zhonghe did not make a move, but beckoned to Shenmuchuan again.

Shenmuchuan was finally inspired to be a samurai, and he howled, holding the only remaining shuriken, and pounced on Xiao Zhonghe.

Xiao Zhonghe didn't dodge or dodge, he stepped forward, and the two of them separated as soon as they touched.

When he turned around and stood opposite each other again, Xiao Zhonghe still had a look of contempt, and beckoned to Shenmu Chuan again. And Shenmu Chuan's chest had an extra blood mark.

Shenmuchuan gritted his teeth, clenched his shuriken, and pounced again

The sound of the bamboo whistle blown by Shenmu River reached the ears of his six junior disciples, although the six junior disciples were scattered in the woods, but at the same time, their hearts were terrified, and the whistle was a distress whistle that would only be issued when the senior brother's life was in danger.

The six juniors did not dare to slack off, and they all rushed to the place where the whistle sounded as fast as they could.

At the same time, the whistle was heard by Shozo Ishida.

His eldest disciple, the successor he had great hopes for, actually sounded the whistle for help.

This whistle would never have been issued if it were not for the danger of life and death, and there was no way to escape by self-financing.

Ishida Masazo was only five hundred meters away from the place where the whistle sounded, and if he wanted to, the distance of five hundred meters would be a minute at most.

However, Ishida Masazo did not move.

The other three disciples who followed him naturally did not dare to move when they saw that the master did not move.

It's not that Ishida Shozo doesn't want to save his disciples, but as an experienced grandmaster ninja, he has extraordinary calmness. Rushing over at this moment, not to mention whether you can save the disciple, if the enemy still makes an ambush, then it may be the whole army annihilated!

Ishida Masazzo must make the right choice, and for the sake of the honor of his master, he must give up his big disciple.

Therefore, he paused for a moment and blew the bamboo whistle as well.

Ishida Masazō's whistle was to tell the other disciples to quickly move closer to their side and not to try to rescue the senior brother.

Hearing Ishida's whistle to give up on himself, Kamikigawa, who had already been stabbed five times, collapsed, he looked up to the sky and roared, tore his shirt, exposed his chest, and stabbed the shuriken into his chest with his backhand.

Ye Tufei was in the middle of the battle between Ishida Masazo and Xiao Zhonghe Shenmuchuan at this time, holding a Mauser rifle borrowed from Li Zhongyun in his hand, staring at the fight between Xiao Zhonghe and Shenmuchuan.

When Xiao Zhonghe had a complete advantage, Shenmuchuan helplessly blew the whistle for help, and after a while, a bamboo whistle sounded not far behind him.

Although Ye Tufei didn't understand the meaning of these two bamboo whistles, he saw that Xiao Zhonghe's victory was decided, so he shifted his attention to the surroundings. In this shift, several objects were found to be moving rapidly.

With his feelings, Ye Tufei raised his gun to shoot, and after more than a dozen bullets were fired, the movement disappeared completely.

After a while, Xiao Zhonghe arrived, holding the head of Shenmuchuan in his hand.

When Ye Tufei saw it, he pouted and said, "Old Xiao, why are you so bloody!" When a person dies, he throws it aside, so why cut off his head? Whoa, I can't stand you. ”

Xiao Zhonghe said apologetically: "I don't want to either!" This little Japan's neck is quite strong, and my knife is small and thin, so it is not a little difficult to cut off this human head. ”

Ye Tufei smiled: "Then you still cut?" What's the use of cutting it off? ”

Xiao Zhonghe said: "I promised my master that I would take the head of a little Japanese ninja to pay tribute to his old man, although this head is not the culprit who killed my master, but it is barely the culprit's fellow disciple, make do with it!" ”

Ye Tufei shook his head and said, "It is said that feudal superstition kills people, and it is true!" ”

Xiao Zhonghe suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Sixth Master, why did you shoot just now?" ”

Ye Tufei brought the muzzle of the gun close to his nose, sniffed the residual smell of gunpowder in the muzzle of the gun very intoxicated, and replied: "I saw a few unknown objects, they must not be my own people, so I fired a few shots." Let's go, let's see what we hit. ”

While he was looking around, Zhang Luohui came with a team of brothers. There are many people who are easy to do, and Ye Tufei quickly expanded the scope of searching.

After a while, the first ninja corpse was found, followed by another.

After carefully searching the area within a radius of 300 meters, a total of three ninja corpses and two blood stains were found.

Zhang Luohui immediately divided the brothers into two teams and wanted to pursue them along the bloodstains.

Ye Tufei hurriedly stopped and said, "It's been such a big time, those people have long since disappeared, so don't toss your brothers anymore." ”

Zhang Luohui thought about it and felt that what Ye Tufei said made sense, so he didn't insist anymore, and took the brothers to search for the corpses, except for some hidden weapons and gunpowder, etc., there was no special gain.

"Let's go! Let's go back, just throw these corpses here, and the right is to add a dish to the beasts of our Erlang Mountain! Ye Tufei threw the Mauser rifle in his hand to Zhang Luohui: "Help me return it to Li Laosi, and you can also ask him for marksmanship by the way." ”

Everyone obeyed Ye Tufei and was about to turn around and return to the camp, but Xiao Zhonghe refused, pouting his ass and holding his short knife to cut the head of Little Japan.

"Xiao Lao Liu, I know that you love to eat sheep's heads, but what you cut is wow, Xiao Lao Liu, haven't you already cut one? It's not enough to eat! Zhang Luohui saw that Xiao Zhonghe refused to leave, so he stood aside and joked with Xiao Zhonghe.

Xiao Zhonghe raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Luohui, and scolded: "Where should I go, why don't you come to help your sixth brother, and still talk cool words on the side?" I'm offering it to my master! ”

Ye Tufei pouted his mouth so wide, pulled Zhang Luohui up and left, and said as he walked: "Hurry up, gray mule, be careful that Xiao Lao Liu will cut off your head as soon as he walks away!" ”

Zhang Luohui squeezed his eyes at Xiao Zhonghe, untied the military thorn buckle tied to his belt, threw the military thorn to Xiao Zhonghe, followed Ye Tufei, and left.

=====

In the end, only two of the seven-member team led by Kamikigawa escaped from Jiro Mountain alive with Ishida Masazzo.

Except for Shenmuchuan, who died under Xiao Zhonghe's knife or died from his own highly poisonous shuriken, Ye Tufei directly killed three people and injured two people, one of whom died of serious injuries.

Faced with such a result, Ishida Masazor was sad and speechless, and he could only blame himself for being too underestimated.

But fortunately, all the information of Erlang Mountain, which was intended to be reconnoitred, has been clearly reconnoitred, and it can be regarded as a complete completion of the task assigned by Takahashi Shin, and there is no disgrace to the reputation of the sect.

Ishida Masazō did not inform Takahashi of the results of the casualties, but only handed over the information that his disciples had exchanged for their lives to Takahashi Shin, and took the other half of the commission of 100,000 yuan that Yamashita Keigo had already prepared, and Ishida Shozo almost burst into tears.

Takahashi Nobu took the information handed over by Ishida Masazo and read it carefully. Although the information was partially incomplete, it basically described the various fortifications and firepower configuration of Ye Tufei's department. Especially for the record of the activity pattern of Ye Tufei's department, Takahashi Shin is more satisfied.

Sending away Ishida Shozo, Takahashi Nobu immediately organized a combat meeting.

He wanted to launch a surprise frontal assault on Erlang Mountain before Ye Tufei could react and adjust.

Keigo Yamashita hesitated a little about Takahashi Shin's thoughts, he thought that now he only had two squadrons of troops, and it seemed that he was not enough to attack Ye Tufei's headquarters head-on.

Takahashi Nobu showed a confident smile and explained: "There are not many soldiers, but the essence!" Two thousand years ago in China, there was a general named Huo Quai, who fought on the battlefield for the first time at the age of seventeen, and only led 800 horsemen to attack the enemy's hinterland for nearly a thousand miles, killing countless enemies. Yamashita Jun, I believe that the imperial warriors can replicate the courage of General Huo back then and defeat Ye Tufei's troops in one fell swoop. ”

Yamashita Keigo still hesitated, and said: "The information handed over by Ishida shows that Ye Tufei and Erlang Mountain have built many hidden forts, and these hidden forts can even withstand the artillery fire of our army, Takahashi-kun, how to deal with these hidden forts, you have to think twice!" ”

Takahashi said with a smile: "I have arranged for people to meet Xuzhou to ask for weapon support, these bunkers can indeed withstand the fire of our army, but if this kind of bunker encounters the flamethrower of our Imperial Japanese Army, it will be powerless!" ”
