"Lord Yoshi, there are many people on the other side, let's quickly retreat to the town of Kofu!" Injiro shouted loudly.

"Fleeing without a fight, is it the style of the Wu family?" Long Tao shook his head.

Sun Bingwei said loudly: "Exactly! I am willing to fight to the death with adults! After saying that, he bent his bow and shot out with a whoosh, and a thief on the bridge fell to the ground with an arrow.

Ruyoshi didn't speak, turned back to Long Tao with his spear, and stared fiercely at the rushing enemy.

"These two men have some loyalty and courage." Long Tao nodded secretly.

At this time, there was a sudden thunderous explosion on the other side of the river, and Long Tao noticed that the wind was different, and pushed away Liuji beside him, while avoiding the other side.

A lead bullet passed through the two of them, and the strong wind that brought it wiped Liuji's cheeks with pain, making him break out in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for Long Tao pushing him, I was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground by now.

"The other party really has a firecracker, Ruyoshi, you take the two of them back away!" Long Tao commanded.

"But, sir, you ......"

"It's an order!"

Ruyoshi, who was interrupted by Long Tao, obediently retreated, leading Sun Bingwei and Injiro back thirty steps.

The musket is a kind of musket that appeared earlier, and was called an iron cannon after it was introduced to Japan, this kind of firearm relies on the fire rope to ignite the gunpowder, and fires the projectile in the chamber to kill and injure the enemy at a distance, and each time the shot is finished, it must be reloaded with gunpowder and projectiles, which is not only slow to fire, but also has a limited range.

In this era when firearms were first first applied, its individual advantage compared with cold weapons, was not so obvious, although the daimyo of various countries were more configured, but it was not a mainstream weapon, until later, the Oda Nobunaga, known as the "Owari big fool melon", whimsically designed a group of three, through the method of three shots to make the musket produce a burst of fire, and defeated the strongest cavalry unit of the Warring States - Takeda Akaken, people really saw the horror of the iron artillery team.

Due to Japan's lack of resources and limited production and manufacturing, the iron cannon at this time can only be regarded as a relatively new and rare weapon, Long Tao estimates that it would be good to have one or two iron cannons in this group of bandits, plus its own rate of fire and range, as long as the three of Ruyoshi hide far away and remove his worries, the iron cannon will not pose a threat to him at all.

The three of Liuji retreated to a safe distance, and the bandits on the bridge also rushed to within ten steps in front of them, and among the three people in the lead, the tall Shantai was in the middle, Long Tao smiled coldly at him, and raised his knife to meet him.

The cold light flashed, and Yamata's body was obliquely broken into two from the shoulder to the abdomen, and when the two people around him were shocked by this shocking scene for a moment, another cold light flashed, and the two great heads flew into the sky, raising two canopies of blood and spilling onto the bridge deck.

As soon as he made a move, he slashed three people in a row, and the thieves who rushed in front immediately paused, but Long Tao did not stop at all, and continued to rush towards the crowd.

He took ten steps in a row, and thirteen corpses fell around him, all of which were killed with a single sword, and the only one who took his knife was a short and stout man.

After this person used a long knife to catch the village rain, he flew back more than ten steps, and was caught by the person who rushed up behind, and at this moment he was holding the handle of the knife tightly, his hands trembled slightly, his eyes were full of murder and greed, he stared at Long Tao for a while, and then turned to the village rain in his hand.

Long Tao looked at him with interest, looking at this person's clothing and temperament, he may be the boss of this gang of thieves, looking at his figure, he should belong to the kind of innate divine power, when he was with the knife just now, Long Tao felt that he was very strong.

More than 100 people crowded on the bridge, separated by more than ten steps from Long Tao, forming a confrontation, although they were outnumbered, but after seeing more than ten corpses around Long Tao, no one dared to continue to rush forward.

Those more than ten lives were harvested by this young-looking man in an instant, although Yamata reported that this kid named Ashikaga Yoshiji was just a declining child, the only thing to fear was the treasure knife in his hand, that famous sword Mura Yu was too sharp for anyone to stop!

But now it seems that this young man is obviously the embodiment of the devil! Looking at the momentum generated by his fierce eyes, even if he is holding a wooden stick in his hand, I am afraid that no one can stop him.

The hearts of the bandits have begun to beat the drums.

Only the short and stout man licked his lips, stared at Mura Yu who was not stained with a trace of blood, and said with a cruel smile: "Famous Sword Mura Yu, it really deserves its reputation!" With a wave of his hands, he shouted: "Let's go together!" There are so many of us, and he is trapped to death! ”

The people around them didn't respond, maybe they could indeed trap the young man on the other side to death, but they still understood the truth of who went first and who died, and those who were thieves did not have the same sense of honor as those who were samurai, and they would not rush to do things that killed them.

"Shit, a bunch of bastards!" The short man scolded, "Prepare to go with me!" ”

At this moment, another roar was heard, and the iron cannon on the opposite bank rang out again.

Long Tao tilted his head slightly, dodged the projectile that was shot, and then swung out with a knife, and the knife qi rushed straight towards the route of the projectile.

"Click!"

The guardrail of the bridge was swept by the sword qi, and a neat opening was opened.

"...... Uproar"

The sword qi swept across the river, drawing a long line of water on it.

"Ahh

A scream rang out, and it stopped abruptly in an instant, and the shooter holding the iron cannon on the bank of the river was split in two by the sword qi.

"Sword Qi!" The short man finally changed color, "He can actually use sword qi!" Damn Santa, why don't you report it clearly? ”

"Wow, Jianhao!"

"This lord turned out to be a swordsman, hurry up!"

Behind the bridge, the bandits who were struggling with the shooters had already begun to flee.

Long Tao raised the village rain and pointed to the bandit in front of him, and the people around the short and strong man shouted, scattering birds and beasts.

"The villain doesn't know that the adult is actually a sword hero, and he has offended you with eyes and beads, please forgive me!" The short man knelt down, he knew that it was useless to run away in front of a master who could use sword qi.

"Grab your knife." Long Tao said lightly: "On the day you decided to be a bandit, you should have gambled your life on the knife, didn't you?" ”

The expression in the short man's eyes changed, and he was finally filled with a fierce force, gritted his teeth, shouted, and rushed towards Long Tao with a long knife.

"Khooth!"

Long Tao slashed head-on, the man's long knife shattered, a blood line soared out of his neck, and he fell to the ground.

Don't use the knife to kill him, let Murayu wipe his throat directly, it can be regarded as a little respect for his last courage.

The three of them ran over and laughed when they saw the thieves fleeing in a hurry.

"Lord Yi is really a divine martial artist!" Injiro exclaimed.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of trumpets on the opposite bank, followed by the sound of neat horses' hooves, and a fiery red leaped into view.

This is a cavalry team of about 100 people, everyone is dressed in red armor, even the war horses are also covered with red armor, and the first military general wears a high horn hood on his head, and his face is calm and resolute, which is very conspicuous in the team.

The general shouted: "Where did the thieves come from, dare to be presumptuous in the territory of the Takeda family!" With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen riders around him rushed towards the fleeing bandits.

Those cavalrymen were well-trained, skilled in horsemanship, and strong in martial arts, armed with three-meter-long bamboo spears, and in a few sprints, they killed the fleeing bandits.

More than ten cavalry sprinted back and forth several times, and the remaining two or three bandits who ran away were also killed one by one by them with iron cannons, and in a blink of an eye, more than a hundred bandits were killed cleanly.

Ruyoshi and Sun Bingwei were fascinated by it, imagining in their hearts that they didn't know when they would be able to fight as a samurai like those people.

Long Tao also nodded secretly, and asked Yin Jiro: "This cavalry is very powerful, could it be the Takeda family's red reserve team?" ”

Injiro nodded and said, "Exactly!" Adults really have a good eye...... The general, come here, ah, it seems to be Lord Rice Rich Huchang! ”

Long Tao's heart moved, Iifu Huchang, known as the "Jiashan Tiger", wasn't he the one who helped Takeda Shingen establish this red reserve team?

The general went up to the bridge with four horsemen, and the sound of horses' hooves came towards Long Tao and the four.

Injiro hurriedly knelt to the side, Ruyoshi and Sun Bingwei looked at it, and also knelt down on one knee by the bridge, bowed his head, and put on a welcoming posture.

Only Long Tao, Da Ra stood in the middle of the bridge, one hand on the hilt of the village rain at his waist, and looked at the approaching five horsemen without changing his face.

"Boy, who are you? When you see Lord Iitomi, why don't you bow down to greet you? ”

A knight beside the general asked.
