Chapter 35: Strategic Retreat
I can't even figure out what happened, and my life is about to end in a mess?
Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has always been invincible, also squeezed out crystal tears from the corners of his eyes, and continued to struggle to resist. This black long straight country lord subconsciously pounded with his pink fists, and his slender legs were also kicking indiscriminately under the costume, trying his best to break free from the next fate.
"Wow——! Oops——? Rude people, what do you want to do? ”
"Shut up, don't make a sound!" At this time, there is no pity for the jade, and the bad personality of the other party also makes it difficult for Mu Xiu to associate this word.
Therefore, he almost burst out with the last of his strength, throwing the corpses of the Oda Army soldiers he killed directly as cannonballs, and throwing all the horses of the Ji generals who were charging into the air and killing them, so that he could rush into the tent of his own general before Oda Shinna and others.
However, several corpses with armor on their bodies, no matter how they could say, were 100 catties, or even close to 200 catties, and they were thrown out like cannonballs. Then fly over a distance of hundreds of meters or hundreds of meters, accurately knock the high-speed galloping war horse out and kill it on the spot, and the main power charge to do this is to rely on the explosive power of your arm muscles......
This kind of thing is definitely not easy for anyone to do, and it can even be said to be a desperate job, you must know that ordinary people try their best to throw a solid ball may not be able to have data ten meters away-
Therefore, after that, I felt that I no longer had any strength to continue to break out, and I could continue to support a battle with those Ji generals. Therefore, Mu Xiu had no intention of sticking to the last position at all, but simply and rudely captured the lord of the country, and directly cut through the back of the curtain with a knife and rushed out.
However, the speed of his movements was inevitably too fast, and Imagawa Yoshimoto almost only saw the curtain suddenly opened, and then an afterimage accompanied by a whistling sound flashed in front of him, and then before he had time to draw his sword to fight as expected, the center of gravity of the whole person was disrupted, and he was irresistibly lifted up by the huge force.
The first moment he realized that he had been taken captive, Imagawa Yoshimoto was suddenly frightened and pale.
In addition, she was taken out of the curtain all of a sudden, and in an instant, the torrential rain and the howling wind in her face rushed to her face, and in less than a second, the twelve dresses on her whole body were soaked, and her long straight black hair was even more wet and could not be taken care of, and the dense and majestic rain made Her Royal Highness the pampered princess unable to open her eyes at all.
So naturally, for a while, she couldn't see who was kidnapping her, so she struggled even more.
"If you speak out again, you'll attract the attention of the Oda army chasing after you, and if you can't get rid of them, you'll be beheaded or surrendered—"
Clearly felt the overwhelmed scream of the body becoming clearer and clearer, as if a thousand catties of weight had suddenly been pressed, and Mu Xiu also knew that he didn't have any time to waste now. Although he is extremely calm or cold at the moment, and his thinking is clear and clear, but physically, he is indeed approaching his limit step by step, burning to the end, and now only embers remain.
As long as it continues for a little longer, there will probably be three or four minutes at most, and I am afraid that there is no possibility that even the heat of the embers will be maintained.
After all, the so-called burned out, what can be left in the end except ashes?
So he didn't cover the other party's mouth, and he didn't care about the other party's struggle and beating, but he just said this very coldly, but the movements under his feet did not stop at all.
"Who is going to surrender to their group of mountain monkeys in Owari! Instead of asking Miss Ben to surrender, Miss Ben ...... Hmm——!! Ahem, ahem, ahem, Miss Ben would rather choose to die...... Ahem, ahem! ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto seems to have finally reacted to who is taking him, and has also judged what the current situation is. She tore off her face and shouted hard, but it was difficult for the words to come out in the majestic rain, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the rain poured into her mouth, and the black long straight suddenly looked bitter.
However, she also seemed to be relieved, and pulled Mu Xiu's collar tightly with one hand, for fear that she would fall down in such a quick escape, and wiped the rain on her face with the other hand, brushing away her wet long hair.
But she also knew that the situation was critical at the moment, because she could still hear the sounds of fighting and some chasing behind her, even if those sounds were rapidly fading away and weakening. Miss Imagawa knew that she was not out of danger at the moment, so her fair-skinned teeth bit her lower lip tightly and stopped making a sound.
“……”
Mu Xiu looked down at the girl in his arms slightly, and did not continue to speak, only a strange look mixed with calm and pain flashed in his eyes. His current state was almost as if he had schizophrenia, on the one hand, a painful and numb feeling began to arise in the depths of his body, as if there were countless small worms crawling and gnawing inside.
On the other hand, even though it is like an orange thrown into a juicer, there is no trace of strength or potential that can be stimulated and tapped, and the physical pain has reached a level that is beyond human endurance. However, his mind and spirit seemed to be semi-independent of his body, and not only was he not affected by the pain, but he was still able to think rationally calmly and even coldly.
The two do not interfere with each other, and they are distinct, so it can be said that they exist at the same time and are carried out simultaneously.
This inevitably made Mu Xiu have a schizophrenic and very sick feeling.
……
……
The muddy and slippery mountains, the mud potholes everywhere, the average person walking cautiously will inevitably fall a dog to eat, and it is possible to fall on all fours and eight forks and fall out of breath. It is already very dangerous to walk on such a harsh mountain road on a rainy day, and with this kind of rain, even if there is a flash flood or mudslide, it is not impossible.
However, Mu Xiu had already adapted to such an environment before, and every time he landed, he was able to make instinctive adjustments according to the tactile information that was instantly fed back from his feet.
It can be said that even if he stretches out his arms and runs all the way forward blindfolded, he will not hurt himself. - Even if a wall suddenly appeared in front of him, he was able to make a judgment based on the slight change in the direction of the air flow perceived by his fingers in the moment before contact, and withdraw his hand instead of directly hitting it.
Although there are many disadvantages to the garrison here in the barrel sagama flatland, it is actually not too deadly, after all, Imagawa Yoshimoto is just arbitrary and too proud, but he is not really arrogant enough to joke about his own security issues at will.
Although the terrain of the barrel narrows is not good, according to common sense, even if Oda Shinna successfully attacks the main team of the Imagawa army, it will not be able to tell how Imagawa Yoshimoto himself is. Because in the case of good roads, this eldest lady can not only quickly gather troops to resist the opponent's attack, but also temporarily retreat.
It's a pity that this rainstorm not only came suddenly, but also too loud.
The destruction of the mountain road made it impossible to carry out both of these actions, and when all advantages were neutralized, it was a matter of course that she was planted in the hands of Oda Shinna with or without intention. It can be said that the decisive factor in the "battle between barrels and narrows" is the current thunderstorm......
A thunderstorm that was just right for Oda Shinna, but forced Imagawa Yoshimoto to his death. Because without this torrential rain, Oda Shinna's operation would have been absolutely difficult to succeed, and I am afraid that it would have been detected by the vanguard of the Imagawa army on the way, and then surrounded and killed, and directly annihilated.
So, it makes sense that Oda Shinna was later called the "Rainstorm Shogun", although the rainstorm led to the suspicion that the enraged gods wanted to hinder her actions.
However, not being able to retreat is only relative to the march, if it is Mu Xiu's actions now, then no matter how muddy and slippery the mountain road is, it will not be able to prevent him from retreating alone with the lord of the country. And it's easy, with little to no effort – it's easy to understand that when the force is unusually large, the burden is relatively small.
Of course, an ant will feel that it is impossible to carry a big fist rock on its own, let alone act with it, and if it does, it will only exhaust its small body to death.
However, for a normal person, it is simply a small meaning of putting it in his pocket and leaving, let alone a burden.
Although the dense raindrops were swept up by the violent wind, like whips on the ground, hitting the face and making it painful, almost impossible to open people's eyes. But Imagawa Yoshimoto still feels that he is moving very fast, and steadily, and there have been no major ups and downs so far.
To be honest, she was actually ready to fall several times before this, and she just hoped it wouldn't hurt too much.
And after carefully and with difficulty peeking out of Mu Xiu's arm a few times, she felt that speed more deeply-
Muddy mountainous terrain, dense torrential rain.
In such a harsh environment, the person in front of him was able to run at a speed that was not much slower than that of a plain horse. The surrounding trees were left behind in the blink of an eye in the whirring wind, and the distant scenery came to the next moment.
The battlefield behind him had long been left far behind, and in addition to the whistling wind and pouring rain, only dull thunder remained.
The twelve dresses on the girl's body were already soaked, and they were heavy on her skin. Wind and rain or something, naturally not a good experience, but very inexplicable, at this moment, the lord of the country has a wonderful sense of security.
“……”
She tried her best to restrain herself, pursed her lips and did not speak, so as not to bring more interference and trouble to Mu Xiu. She shrunk into the young man's arms, holding her saber sect Sanzuo with both hands, and Mu Xiu had just stuffed Hasebe Kunishige into her arms, only to feel soaked, cold and uncomfortable.
But even so, she was still keenly aware that the two of them were quickly heading up the mountain.
Because although Mu Xiu's movements are very fast, he can find the best way to move in the rain and muddy and slippery roads that obstruct his vision, and easily find one road after another that seems steep and dangerous. So after a quick left turn and a few turns, Imagawa Yoshimoto was completely dazed and couldn't recognize the original direction.
However, the fact that the ground is getting higher and higher is undeniable, and she has combined the previous time a little, and estimates that the two of them are now close to the summit of Mt. Tsubasasa.
