Standing in front of the water diversion tower was a very tall man.
The man has a strong build, with a bald Tsukiyo head that is standard for contemporary young people. His clothes are simple and unpretentious. His chest exposed in the clothes is covered with scars. He has a large sword on his waist. He is about 1.34 meters tall and is taller than usual.
Ashigaru's sword looks bigger and heavier.
The center of gravity of this type of Odachi is further forward than that of the ordinary Taisword, and the power when swinging the sword is also greater. Even the ordinary bamboo armor will be easily cut in two by this sword, and the whole person looks extremely fierce.
His name is Yamauchi Shigenori, and he is a samurai.
He was not a samurai like the ordinary Ashgaru who dared to call himself a samurai with a sword, but a true nobleman who was granted the title of Ashina family and had a village near Ashina Castle as his territory, and was a samurai who was Ashina's retainer.
This honor was obtained after he killed the first fifteen people on the battlefield between Ashina and Naifu. It was not only the glory of his life, but also a family legacy that could be passed down to future generations.
He has promised his life to the Ashina clan.
The flying pigeon that carried the message had already passed through his hand and flown over the tower the moment the gate of the Moon Watchtower was opened, and flew straight into Ashina Castle.
At this time, the flying pigeon should have flown into the hands of Genichiro-sama, right?
Ashname Genichiro, this was the name of the man to whom Shigenori Yamauchi was loyal from now on, and the person he respected the most.
This Genichiro-sama was born in the market, and was adopted by Isshin-sama since he was a child. However, he showed great talent since he was a child. Regardless of military strategy, vision, employment, or his own force, he was regarded as a genius of the generation. In the end, he was adopted by Isshin-sama at the time.
A mere refugee was promoted as an adopted grandson, and he was given the surname "Ashina". Just by looking at this, you can see why Genichiro-sama is outstanding.
Yamauchi Shigenori always believed that under the leadership of this man, Ashina's country would definitely defeat the rebels in the inner government, bring peace to the troubled times, and unify the entire Japan.
And his name, Shigenori Yamauchi, will inevitably resound throughout Japan with the rise of Genichiro-sama.
He is a samurai raised by Genichiro-sama himself.
The best military commander in the world, this is Yamauchi Shigenori's ambition.
Although he is still just a small ashigaru-gumi leader, Yamauchi Shigenori is very confident in himself.
After all, although he is often thought of as a fifty-year-old uncle because he looks very old and has a big beard, he is actually a young man who is just twenty years old and full of vigor. As long as he continues to train and become stronger and accumulate qualifications, he will definitely
It’s worth the wait!
But the first priority right now is to keep an eye on this 'Miko', who is valued by Genichiro-sama.
For this reason, Yamauchi Shigenori did not hesitate to summon most of the Ashigaru team to the gate of the castle to guard the key points. Although there were only six of them, they were all veterans of hundreds of battles. They were commendable for their vigilance and strength.
Even if someone breaks through, he will at least shout out once or twice, and if there are three people in a group, even with the strength of Yamauchi Shigenori-sama, he will not dare to attack directly, and he has to score a breakthrough to win the battle.
In addition, the only passage from Guanyue Watchtower to the outside of the city is the water diversion tower.
If there were only one ninja or retainer protecting 'Miko', Yamauchi Shigenori could not guarantee that he could stop those dexterous samurai and ninjas who could fly over walls and walls.
But if you want to bring one more person with you?
Hey, you can't kill him!
With confidence in his own intelligence and strength, Yamauchi Shigenori stood calmly at the gate of the water diversion tower, waiting for a warning from his ashigaru, or waiting for the younger ones to bring the damn intruder to him.
.
As long as he grasps this key point, everything is under his control.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Yamauchi Shigenori finally got the result he wanted.
But this result...is only half the story.
I saw that the intruder was slovenly dressed and had a calm face. He had indeed arrived intact. Not only did he arrive, he also killed his two men in front of him with a calm expression.
The bloody smell slowly spread over time, spreading all the way.
Yamauchi Shigenori looked at the man's expression of nothing happened, his face suddenly turned red, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
My head hurt with anger.
Why hasn’t Sir Genichiro come yet?!
The hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
This is not a question of whether he is a coward or not. The key is that he kind of... misses him.
When I think about it carefully, it’s been a long time since I last saw him and he even treated me to a meal!
But as the saying goes, when two strong men meet, the brave will win. In ancient times, when swordsmen met their opponents, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if the opponent was the best swordsman in the world, they would still show their swords even if they knew they were defeated.
Even if you are defeated by your opponent's sword, you will still be honored. This is the spirit of the sword.
Yamauchi Shigenori never gives up when faced with this kind of situation!
Although I really want to exchange my knowledge of swordsmanship with my opponent, there is not so much nonsense in a samurai duel. Just draw your sword and do it.
Yamauchi Shigenori had a solemn expression and drew his sword halfway across his chest. The firelight on both sides of the road swayed slightly, reflecting the shadows of the two people in the dark night.
Han Baiyi also drew his sword, with his left foot in front and his right foot behind.
After a bloody battle, he has roughly mastered the most basic fighting skills of this body, but it is only the 'most basic' skill. Decades of ninja training have made the wolf's body strong and tough, although it is not powerful.
Fighting tigers and wolves, tearing Xiaori alive... But at least she is not as delicate and soft as Han Baiyi said.
Whether it is speed, strength, or reflexes, they have reached or even exceeded the human limits known to Han Baiyi. Only sword skills, stealth, and various techniques, because Han Baiyi is using them, are obviously slightly inferior to the original body.
of.
But Han Baiyi also has his advantages.
Concentrating and taking a deep breath, Han Bai's eyes flashed with a chill.
My feet gradually changed from a slow walk to a trot.
The distance between the two people quickly closed.
"Drink"
Yamauchi Shige roared and slashed, and the one-meter-three-four-meter-long Odachi was as light as nothing in his hand. The wind roared and tore through the air, heading straight for Han Baiyi's torso.
Han Baiyi's expression remained unchanged. In his eyes, Yamauchi Shigenori's movements were as slow as a snail. He was limited by his own speed, so he had to raise his sword in front of him.
With a sound of 'dang', the two knives separated at the touch of each other, sparks flashing in the air.
Yamauchi Shigenori's offensive did not slow down. As he used the force of the sword, the blade turned and headed straight towards Han Baiyi's neck.
Because he was born in a samurai family, Yamauchi Shigenori's swordsmanship can be said to be superb. Also, because he is the master of the Odachi sword and has been in battle for many years, he is extremely skilled in using force to twist the blade.
During the life-and-death fight, the giant Odachi sword can always appear in the blind spot of the enemy's field of vision.
It's a pity that this sword technique that has been tried and tested on the battlefield is useless in front of Han Baiyi. Han Baiyi is in [Bullet Time]. The fastest moving part of his body besides the brain is his eyeballs. The ultra-high-speed observation even makes Han Baiyi
The white-clothed eyeballs slowly became bloodshot, and the eye muscles became sore.
But it is very clear, all the movements, details, blade rotation, and muscle changes are very clear.
All can be seen.
As the saying goes, all martial arts in the world are invincible, except speed.
This kind of speed is not just about quick hands, but also quick reaction.
Although Han Baiyi's kendo attainments are indeed not very good, his super-fast reaction speed and Uncle Lang's superior physical fitness have given him the capital to quickly adapt to combat. Every move and every move is based on his learning of Uncle Lang's kendo.
In addition to testing Shigenori Yamauchi, he quickly absorbed and learned Uncle Wolf's combat experience like a sponge, exploring his own unique combat style.
With a body that is beyond ordinary people and an unconventional sword technique, every blow of Han Baiyi is like an antelope hanging its horns, like a flying feather falling, fluttering and unsearchable. It is completely different from the ordinary sword path of Japanese kendo, but every blow is straight.
Refers to one's own danger.
Even in the middle of a life-and-death fight, Yamauchi Shigenori could feel that the other party was making continuous progress at a speed he could not imagine. Even though the two sides were enemies, the man couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
If he had known that Han Baiyi's pokes were just based on his feelings, he doesn't know how he would feel.
In the pitch-black night, the two of them only judged each other's position by the faint light of the fire. They kept moving their bodies with small steps, and the long knives in their hands collided repeatedly, causing sparkling lights to rise in the air. The light of the knives was like dreamy bubbles.
, the sharp sound of steel clashing directly pierced the membranes and made people's heads buzz.
Although the two seemed to be evenly matched, only the two on the field knew that Han Baiyi had firmly grasped the right to attack from the very beginning, while Yamauchi Shigenori had exhausted all his strength just to resist.
He was testing the knife on me.
This thought flashed through Yamauchi Shigenori's mind.
After a few seconds, he felt that he was suddenly in a trance and weak. Han Baiyi suddenly became alert and immediately used Uncle Lang's experience to catch a small flaw in the opponent. The two knives pulled Mars and crossed each other, and the blade slightly cut off his finger.
The lower leg stepped hard on the ground, and the knife in the hand did not move.
Just a slight deviation in body shape will have results.
The shadow of the knife in the firelight suddenly disappeared.
The two of them passed each other, just half of their height apart.
Snap.
Four fingers and half of the palm fell to the ground.
The heel of his palm and the remaining thumb held the knife tightly, as if unwilling to let go.
The man fell to his knees, a line of blood on his neck seemed to have drained all the strength from his tall body, with a smile on his face.
