Chapter 7: Mt. Takao

Mt. Takao is located between the Fume River and the Kizu River in Yamashiro Province near Omi Province, and reaches the edge of the Takao area through a small plain called Minami-Ogawara, which is made up of more than a dozen peaks of various sizes, the most prominent of which is Mt. Takao.

At the foot of the hill was a caravan of a dozen people, loaded with unknown goods, and flags with the characters Shin-Miyaya planted on each cart.

On a lush mountain with dozens of people clinging to the ground, Shengxin and Shengzheng were impressively listed, and Shengxin whispered to Akutagawa Shengfeng and asked:

"Are you sure that the news of our caravan has been known to Ushijima?"

"Oh, the caravan deliberately stayed in the Bumu River for so long, and the subordinates did find that there were people around to inquire about our caravan, how could that guy from Ushijima let go of the fat in his mouth."

Shengxin nodded, his eyes fixed on the back of the caravan.

At this time, the caravan led by Evil Hachiro had gradually penetrated into the Takao Mountains and disappeared from the sight of Katsushin and the others.

Shengxin looked at the six ronins who were temporarily recruited not far away with some concern, turned to Sheng Feng and continued:

"Wait a minute, tell those ronins that after the deed is completed, each person can get another 2 yuan, so that those guys don't work hard later, and everyone will exchange the first level of merit for copper coins, and ask for 20 copper coins for Ushijima Uemon."

"Oh!"

Sheng Feng whispered, whispering to each other, and everyone's eyes showed a desire for money.

After continuing to wait for half a moment, suddenly a red firework burst into the sky, everyone trembled, and Shengxin stood up and raised his naginata and shouted:

"Those who ask for Ushijima Uemon will be rewarded with 20 copper coins, and the families who died in the battle will be supported by Shinmiyaya, and everyone will come with me!"

"Oh!"

Some people even crawled to keep up with Shengxin, and those recruited homeless people scrambled one by one, even ignoring the pants running away, and finally had the opportunity for their families not to be starved to death, how could they not work hard; In the face of survival, these people, who usually seem weak, can always burst out with unimaginable energy; It is no wonder that after every battle, the surrounding people will spontaneously attack the defeated samurai for a reward.

At this time, on the side of Evil Hachiro, he was confronting a person with a knife,

Dressed in shabby belly rolls and wearing a headdress with a tomato hood, he was the notorious Ushijima Uemon, who had been hired by the Rokkaku family to resist the Oda Army, and after the fall of Kannonji Castle, he went to the mountains to do his old job.

Bah!

Ushijima Uemon spat out a mouthful of old phlegm, and this guy in front of him really had two hits:

"Boy, you're not my opponent, you can't win with strength alone."

"Less nonsense!"

Yahachiro attacked again with a sword, and Ushijima Uemon seemed to have adapted to Yahachiro's all-brute force style of play, and easily defused his attack with years of experience.

"Hahahaha, stinky boy, come to your senses! It is your honor to die under my sword. ”

After Ushijima blocked Evil Hachiro's attack with a knife, his body moved forward, and the blade slashed through Evil Hachiro's knife, and the tip of the knife cut a finger-long cut on Evil Hachiro's face, and Evil Hachiro gritted his teeth to cover the bloodied left side of his face.

At this time, Evil Hachiro realized that in front of these battle-hardened people, he was so weak, is this the gap!

Five or six people had fallen from the surrounding Shiniyaya, and the others had also been surrounded, struggling to resist the attack of the Ushijima people.

"Kill!"

"Oh!"

A loud shout rang out behind Evil Hachiro, and Ushijima Uemon's eyes widened, only to see fifty or sixty people rushing towards Ushijima.

Evil Hachiro was overjoyed and shouted to everyone:

"Boss's reinforcements have arrived! Don't let them run away, take revenge! ”

Seeing this, everyone's morale immediately rose, and there were even faint signs of a counterattack.

Shengxin led people to rush into the battle group, he held a red naginata, cut off the head of an unlucky minion with a knife, and quickly pulled out the ribs with his right hand and inserted it into the abdomen of the person who wanted to sneak attack him, Shengxin kicked the person away, picked up the head on the ground, and shouted around in his hand:

"Tofukuji Katsushin is here! Shin-Miyaya wins! Kill! ”

"Oh!"

"Victory!"

Seeing that the boss was so powerful, the people of Shiniyaya immediately attacked frantically like chicken blood, and the Ushijima people, who originally had a numerical advantage, suddenly became a numerical inferiority, and how could this monk be so terrifying!

Ushijima Uemon saw that Shinmiya had reinforcements, and immediately shouted in his heart, and the instinct to survive made him slowly retreat in the chaos.

But his movements were constantly watched by a ronin, who quickly fastened a head around his waist and rushed towards Ushijima Uemon.

Ushijima Uemon was about to turn around and run away, but Hachiro tried to catch up with him, but a figure quickly ran past him, only to see the man pull out his ribs and leap, knocking Ushijima Uemon to the ground;

This sassy operation,Seeing that Evil Hachiro forgot the pain on his face,Ushijima Uemon has the ribs of the ronin inserted on his back.,The two pinched each other's necks with their hands.,But Ushijima seems to be because of the injury in the back.,Gradually a little weaker.,The ronin hit Ushijima's head directly.。

Taking advantage of Ushijima's dizziness, he strangled Ushijima's neck with his arm, pulled out the ribs on Ushijima's body with the other hand, and stabbed Ushijima's neck obliquely; The ronin's flushed face breathed a sigh of relief, and then spat out a mouthful of blood;

Completely ignoring the shocked gazes of the people around him, he slashed Ushijima's neck with all his might; He raised his head and shouted:

"Ushijima Uemon has been taken by Kiyomitsu I'm in my castle! Ah~"

"Oh!"

There was a burst of exclamations around him, and the people around looked at the city and guards, what a warrior!

After Katsushin cut down the three of them one after another, he saw Kiyomitsu Honjo holding the head of Ushijima Ushima Rightemon, and shouted with great joy:

"The enemy general is dead, kill!"

The Ushijima people, who had lost their general, suddenly lost their morale and began to flee in all directions, but where were the people of Shinmiyaya, who had already killed the red-eyed, willing to let them go; It's all copper coins! Chasing and killing the enemy in twos and threes, no matter how vicious you once was, is now in vain in front of three or four or even four or five people who want to beat the reservoir dogs.

Benjo Qingguang sat on the ground, looked at the head in his hand and laughed, laughing and laughing, tears actually flowed from the corners of his eyes, twenty times, my sister's illness was saved.

Shengxin nodded at him, he didn't expect that there was such a talent among the ronins.

At this time, Akutagawa Shengfeng had already run to Hachiro's side, and Hachiro's face was distorted in pain, but he didn't say a word.

Shengxin said to Sheng Feng:

"Evil Hachiro will be handed over to me, you will immediately bring your family to control the foothold of these grass bandits, and they must not be looted by others first."

"Don't worry! Top dog. ”

Sheng Feng nodded, and hurriedly led a dozen people to the den of the Ushishima people in the middle of the mountain in Takao.

With a distorted face, Evil Hachiro said bitterly to Katsushin:

"Boss, Hachiro has disgraced you."

Katsushin tore the strip of cloth and wrapped Hachiro's head tightly, comforting him:

"Why, you're a brave evil Hachiro!"

Shengxin is a little worried, if tetanus infection is in this era, it will definitely die, how many generals have not died on the battlefield, and in the end it is only an inconspicuous small wound that will kill people.
