Lan En didn't make a rash move, he waited until all the ronins behind him had arrived before he spoke.

"The bandits rushed out of the mountains and forests and came to the shore of the Longquan River, this is not normal."

Kotaro They are still pranayama, and the mountains and forests are already difficult to walk, let alone in an area with exaggerated height differences like Ashina Province.

The wheezing ronin lowered his body and followed Lan's words to observe the bandits twenty meters away.

The number of people is around forty. He was almost like a farmer farming, shirtless and bare-legged.

Only the large cuirass that I picked up from the battlefield I don't know covered the upper body, and the dirty crotch cloth leaked out.

Weapons are a mixture of katanas, spears, two-handed axes, and longbows.

These people were originally confident that Lan En would be able to solve them alone, but the discovery that followed was the reason why he waited for the Ronin to follow.

"Ferry?!"

Kotaro had already tried to keep his voice down as much as he could, and exclaimed.

The astonishment in his eyes was the same as the rest of the ronin.

The Ryusenchuan River is not a calm river, and it is impossible to have a calm river due to the outrageous difference in elevation of the reedina country.

It is not easy to cross the river on a large scale.

One of the Hirata's defensive strategies was to seize the ferries and gather on the side of Hirataso.

But right now, the noisy bandits by the river are pulling out several ferries from the well-covered weeds and reeds!

Now, the appearance of these ferries does not just mean that the bandits have fought a few autumn winds.

There are moles in Hirata So!

A traitor of no low status!

Even, no one dares to guarantee whether Hiradaso's strategy of defending against foreign enemies is normal for a period of time!

The ronins and Kotaro are not stupid, their faces are now horrified, and they are not afraid of the bandits in front of them, but the fate of Hiratano.

Lan En could kill them all on land, but if they ran to the Longquan River with their boats, the speed of the water would not be ordinary.

So, manpower is needed.

"You're pretty good with your bow and arrows, Kotaro."

Lan raised his chin lightly towards the diminutive Ash.

"I'll rush out in a moment and do it, you need to kill one of the people left next to the ferry, and try to shoot a few."

"The rest of you, this time, just stay on the edge of the ferry, and don't let them pass."

The ronins turned their heads from side to side and looked at each other.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

Listen to the meaning of the group head. He wants to rush the bandit formation of forty or so people alone?!

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the Warring States period, but it mostly appeared in famous generals, and they had never even seen these ronins and ashigaru.

But Lan En's authority in the past few days has played a role, and even though he hesitated, everyone under his command still nodded yes.

They each held the barrel of their guns and the hilt of their knives, and prepared to fight.

Kotaro took off the longbow he was carrying and wound his arrows.

He swallowed nervously, in fact, it was the first time he had gone into battle to kill an enemy.

The attack on Lan En when he first met was just a knee-jerk reaction to defend his faith and attack the enemy.

And just when he felt his throat itch from being overly nervous, he was about to turn his head to Lan En to determine the time to make a move.

But

A very low "swoop"!

A huge figure had already swept out from behind them, carrying the wind.

The ronin and Kojiro were even slightly stunned by this light wind. It felt like being swept by a tiger!

The bandits outside the mountains and forests are still noisy.

They have been waiting for a day for a long time.

Although for some time now, somehow, you can get money and food without going out.

It's very cool, yes, but the lack of the step of going down the mountain to loot and kill people still makes many of them feel depressed.

And today, their leader told them that today they could not only go down the mountain to plunder, but even go to places that they would not have dared to approach before—

Hiratano!

Reach out there!

The bandits who had already guessed that there was a backer behind them couldn't help but be happy.

At this time, while they celebrated with strange screams and trumpets as they had been holding back for too long, they began to carry the ferry out of the cover and into the Longquan River as instructed by the chief.

When the bandit who looked at the wind saw a burly figure rushing out of the mountain forest, he was still a little stunned for a while.

After all, in their conceptions, who would live impatiently and come to trouble more than forty people alone?

Even when Lan En had already rushed out two steps, the bandit was still talking to his companion next to him with a relaxed face.

"Hey, why did that big guy come here?"

"Who cares? With a sword in his hand, he wears it very well! ”

The two men spoke for less than three seconds, but they didn't wait for them to finish.

A bright silver light flashed directly from the necks of the two of them!

A head flew directly into the air, and a thief was swept across the right half of his neck by the sword of the Lake Maiden that swept across because of his position.

At this time, more than ten meters away, after Lan En rushed out, where he accelerated for the second time, the soil mixed with grass root debris could fall to the ground!

Neither of them even had a chance to make a sound, and their bodies lost the conditions to make a sound.

Among the forty people, a few of the thieves who were looking in this direction opened their mouths in a daze.

But before they could react, an arrow slashed through the air and slammed into the shoulder of the bandit who was swinging the ferry!

Lan En's brows furrowed slightly, Kotaro was too late to make a move.

But. It doesn't matter.

The thief who was hit by the arrow, his body shook violently and abruptly because of the pain.

His armor pinned the shaft of the arrow, causing the iron arrow to twist slightly in the flesh.

Immediately, under the sharper pain, he suddenly let out a scream.

"Ah!!h

There was hysteria in the voice.

But Lan En was very indifferent to this kind of tragedy, after all, not long ago, the boy should have had the same expression.

"Enemy attack! Enemy. Yes! ”

The shiny silver sword blade slashed diagonally across the Japanese cuirass on the bandit's body, the belly dang, from the bottom to the top.

This cuirass was mostly used by low-ranking samurai, and was stripped off by bandits and draped on their bodies.

The treasure of iron makes the armor not have too much metal structure, and it is light enough. But at the same time, thin enough!

The edge of the Sword of the Lake Maiden always passes through the opponent's back as it moves upward.

After the end of the one move, the upper body of the thief was directly disconnected diagonally!

The two cuts of the Eight Classics have brought the atmosphere that has begun to be restless to a freezing point.

And the person who caused the atmosphere flicked the blood splashed on his wrist.

The cat's eyes that make people's hearts chill do not fluctuate in the slightest.

"They really like to shout when they fight."

The blood shook off and the hilt of the sword was re-grasped.

"Lack of aesthetics. Slightly annoying! ”
