Chapter 173: Ambush on the Castle Tower
Jiangma Huisheng had already secretly withdrawn from the castle tower, which was his wise way to protect himself.
"Your Highness." One of his confidants came forward to speak.
"Are you all ready?" Jiangma Fraser said coldly.
"The firewood and pine oil are ready, all the doors and windows of the castle tower have been quietly nailed, and no one in the custody can escape by jumping out of the window, and the fire can be set on fire with just an order from His Highness."
Jiangma Fraser nodded, with a smile on his face that grasped everything in the palm of his hand, and said: "You have done a good job, and I will not forget your loyalty." ”
Jiangma Huisheng turned around and looked at the Triple Castle Tower behind him, at this time, there was already a fierce fighting sound inside, obviously Jiangma Shisheng and Li Xiao had already begun to fight.
"Tokiro-sama-sama (Eima Tokimori's official name is Tokirosuke), leave everything in the future of the Ema family to me, and I will continue to ally with the Uesugi family. As for the Takeda family, you are right, Takeda Shinxuan and Li Xiao are both greedy people, and the alliance with them is to push themselves into the tiger's mouth. ”
"Hitachi-sama, rest in peace. With your loyal subordinates, as well as the Takeda family, to accompany you to Huangquan, you will not be alone. ”
After speaking, Jiangma Huisheng said coldly: "Nailed the gate of the castle tower to me to death." ”
Oh!
Several of Jiangma Huisheng's cronies agreed together.
In the castle tower.
All kinds of kicked and broken plates, wine bottles, dishes were thrown to the ground. The wooden table used for the banquet had already been shattered in the fight.
On the wooden planks of the castle tower, everyone dressed in clogs stepped on the floor with a chaotic sound.
The folk performers who used to perform Noh were hugging each other, hugging each other, their whole bodies trembling like frightened fawns.
They cowered in the corner and watched the bloody battle.
Suddenly, there was a bang in front of them, and a heavy object fell to the ground with a thud.
A badly wounded samurai, lying down in front of them.
The two folk artists exclaimed together.
Blood was spurting from the warrior's mouth, and his body twitched up and down, until he finally tilted his neck and did not move.
And before he died, his eyes bulged out like dead fish, and his eyes were scattered and blank.
And now the crotch of the two folk artists is already wet.
The battle on the field was very fierce, and someone was cut to the ground almost every instant.
Li Xiao simply slashed horizontally, and immediately twisted the sword held in the hand of the Jiangma family warrior in front of him.
The Jiangma family warrior was surprised by Li Xiao's terrifying arm strength, but after losing the Tai Dao, he didn't panic too much, but instead pulled out the ribs around his waist, wanting to block Li Xiao's next knife.
However, he miscalculated, and after Li Xiao was slashed with a knife again, his ribs only held on slightly for a while, and then he was forced to himself by Li Xiao's huge force.
He involuntarily took a step back, but the blade of the rib was already on top of his neck.
Li Xiao bit his teeth and swung his knife horizontally, and the Jiangma family warrior in front of him suddenly splattered blood on his neck and fell to the ground.
Li Xiao wiped the blood on his face and looked at Jiangma Shisheng, who was under the protection of the Jiangma family's samurai.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ma Shisheng's pupils contracted slightly, and the eight samurai who were responsible for personal protection around him also looked shocked.
Li Xiao took a few steps forward with his feet on the ground, and in one breath he entered the battle circle formed by the three Jiangma warriors in front of him.
I saw Li Xiao draw a knife with both hands, and a Jiangma warrior was slashed by Li Xiao, and even people with knives were cut and fell to the ground.
Another Jiangma family warrior was shocked and swung his knife to save him, while the other sinisterly attacked Li Xiao's heel with a knife.
At this moment, Li Xiao lifted his backfoot and kicked heavily in the face of the warrior who attacked him.
The man snorted, and his whole body fell back to the ground, and the eight front teeth on his face were shattered into slag.
Li Xiao then swung his knife with one hand in his right hand and blocked it, and another warrior slashed at it.
However, the other party is also a samurai with skilled swordsmanship, and seeing that a knife was blocked by Li Xiao, the knife momentum immediately changed, breaking through Li Xiao's defense, and directly slashing Li Xiao's ribs with a knife.
Li Xiao was on the side of his body, avoiding the opponent's knife, and then grabbed a katana in his left hand, rolled on the ground, and approached the opponent's side.
The other party was shocked, and slashed down at the top of Li Xiao's head with a knife in both hands.
Li Xiao reversed the katana on his right arm, blocking the opponent's knife, and his left arm struggled together, slashing into the opponent's abdomen.
Then Li Xiao pushed hard, directly pushing the other party to the ground, leaving a warrior who was about to sneak up on him, seeing Li Xiao so terrifying, he immediately took a few steps back in fear, losing the courage to continue fighting.
Speaking of which, this is not all of Li Xiao's strength, and the use of a katana is not his strong point, so he can only rely on this brute force to kill.
The most terrifying are Shioka Kazuha and Shima Katsutoshi.
Shima Shengmeng seems to be a meat grinder, and everywhere he rampages, flesh and blood are flying, and there is a miserable scene like Shura's hell.
And Shigang Yiyu is sword flashing like lightning, and almost no one can see the trajectory of his sword. The samurai who fought him were slain almost instantly.
Under the joint efforts of these three people, in just a moment, half of the people standing in the hall were less, and more than twenty corpses of the Jiangma family warriors were already lying beside them.
Those hot-headed warriors of the Jiangma family who rushed forward to fight like a desperate person had already been killed first, and the surviving samurai of the nearby Jiangma family were all slightly inferior in martial arts, or they lost their courage when they saw their comrades die in battle.
The rest of the Jiangma family surrounded Li Xiao's trio in a half-circle, and as Li Xiao and their footsteps slowly approached Jiangma Shisheng step by step, these people were already frightened under their oppression, and the only thing they could do was to move their heels back step by step.
Finally, Jiangma Shisheng couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore and screamed: "Kill them, kill them for me." ”
The two Jiangma family warriors beside Jiangma Shisheng glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and suddenly burst out and killed Li Xiao and them.
These two people are the two people with the most exquisite swordsmanship among the warriors on the side of Jiangma Shisheng, and this combination is extraordinary.
However, Shigang Yiyu beside Li Xiao showed a trace of disdain in his eyes, and only took a slight step forward, and the longsword in both hands just swiped forward, the sword light flashed, and then the knife was put back into its sheath.
The two warriors of the Jiangma family who were desperate for their lives, their eyes bulged violently, and they maintained the posture of holding their swords high above their heads with both hands, and in the blink of an eye, they tilted their bodies and immediately threw themselves to the ground left and right.
With a pop and the sound of the corpse falling to the ground, Jiangma Shisheng and the warriors of the Jiangma family all seemed to have been bitten by a snake, their bodies were sudden, and then they retreated together.
Several of the strongest martial arts of the Jiangma family have been cut down and their bodies are lying on the ground. The rest could only cringe and slowly retreat.
The more than 20 remaining Jiangma family warriors were forced by Li Xiao and the three of them to retreat step by step, and no one dared to step forward to fight.
Now that Jiangma Shisheng has reached the end of his rope, his vest is already leaning against the wall, and then he urges around: "Go up, give me it, kill them, as long as I can kill them, I will give you a fief, a bounty, and make you the lord of the city." ”
The samurai of the Jiangma family looked at each other and bowed their heads to each other.
Li Xiao snorted, pointed the blood-stained katana at Jiangma Shisheng's face, and shouted: "Jiangma Shisheng, don't force them again, no one will send you to death, I advise you to surrender." ”
Jiang Ma Shi shouted angrily: "Nonsense, my Jiang Ma family only has people who died in battle, and there are no people who surrendered." ”
"Really?" Li Xiao waved the knife in both hands and shouted: "If you want to live, put down your weapons and step aside, I will count three times, and those who do not obey will be my enemy, and they will all be killed." ”
"One!"
Li Xiao's voice fell, and all the warriors of the Jiangma family, Ashigaru, were shocked.
"Two!"
Obviously, Li Xiao didn't give them too much time to think about it, the knives in the hands of several people had been put down, and their footsteps had the meaning of loosening.
"Three!"
Bang! Boom!
Immediately, there was a sound of weapons falling to the ground on the floor, and then the samurai ashigaru of the Eima family, who were empty-handed, stepped forward and retreated to both sides.
Jiang Ma Shi Sheng saw this scene, and his face turned pale for a while, and suddenly the crowd in front of him was empty.
Almost all of the more than 20 Jiangma warriors who originally surrounded him ran to both sides, and only two of them were still standing in front of him.
"Lord, let's surrender, we lose."
The one who spoke was one of the only two samurai left by Eima's side.
He even opened his mouth to persuade Jiangma Shisheng to surrender.
"The ungrateful!"
Eima yelled in frustration, and then drew his sword and slashed down the samurai who had persuaded him to surrender.
However, the other party was not a person who was waiting to be killed, he turned around and backhanded Jiang Ma Shisheng's knife.
The other party shook his head, walked up to Li Xiao, threw the katana aside, knelt on one knee, and said, "Lord Li Xiao, I am willing to submit to Your Excellency, but please spare Lord Jiangma's surname?" Under the willingness to swear allegiance to the death. Adult, please make it possible. ”
Li Xiao nodded and said, "You are a loyal person, I appreciate it, what is your name?" ”
The other party sighed and said respectfully: "In Shimo-Ohara Zhongkan." ”
Li Xiao stared at the other party's face for a long time, then a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Very good, Ohara is loyal, he is really a loyal and commendable person." ”
After saying that, Li Xiao took a step forward, and seemed to be about to help the other party, but unexpectedly, Li Xiao suddenly swung his knife and slashed, and he actually wanted to kill this person named Ohara Zhongkan with a knife.
Li Xiao's sharp knife had already been slashed at the moment when there was no room for fire, and the other party obviously didn't expect it, so he was caught off guard and pulled out a short blade under his sleeve to defend himself.
saw a dinging sound, and the other party's whole person was slashed by Li Xiao's knife and flew several meters away.
No, it's not so much a split, it's better to say that the other party borrowed his strength to jump far away and fly upside down, avoiding Li Xiao's attack range in one fell swoop.
Shima Katsumeng, Shigang Kazuyu was on guard when he saw it, this person obviously had bad intentions, how could an ordinary samurai have such good skills.
The other party landed lightly, stood up without shaking, looked at Li Xiao and said, "Lord Li Xiao, it seems that I still underestimate you too much, but I asked myself if I didn't show any flaws, how did you see through my identity." ”
Li Xiao snorted and said: "Xuanyuan Ninja is the first ninja, known as 'Fei Kato', Kato Duanzang, how can I not know it." It's Uesugi Teruto, tell you to assassinate me. ”
