The moment he heard the sound of gunshots below, Sugitani Zenjubo instinctively leaned over to find that the person he was hitting was not him. A ninja on his left who was reloading his ammunition was hit in the chest by a gunshot and screamed.
Then he fell down.
"So fast." Sugitani Zenjubo sighed secretly. He stuck his head out from the side of a rock on the hillside and looked down. He saw a blond man with blue eyes hiding behind the carriage and changing ammunition quickly. It seemed that he had just done that.
He was the one who shot the gun.
"There is something. This is the magic archer you are talking about." Sugitani Zenjubo laughed in surprise: "I didn't expect that this magic archer is also good at playing with iron cannons!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Charlie raised his gun again and took aim. In an instant, gunpowder smoke rose again. Sugitani Zenjubo hurriedly withdrew. The projectiles fired by Charlie hit the rock where he was hiding, breaking off several corners of the rock.
"It's getting more and more interesting." Sugitani Zenjubo licked the corner of his mouth, and excitedly took out his iron cannon from his back and participated in the battle himself. He quickly started loading, then lit the match and leaned out to take a look.
, he fired a shot across the screen with almost no aim. Upon seeing this, Charlie hurriedly rolled to avoid the projectiles, and at the same time signaled Yu Qiuping and others to quickly mount their horses and escape.
Just when Yu Qiuping, Honda Tadakatsu, Ryuko and other guards were about to untie their horses from the carriage and escape on horseback, another iron cannon opened fire on them. They were fine, but the horses
All were shot. The horses moved violently because of the pain, and finally fell helplessly in a pool of blood.
Yu Qiuping and others had no choice but to flee on foot. However, there seemed to be a lot of iron cannon ninjas on Koya Mountain. Before they could run a few steps on the official road, two guards were shot dead. Yu Qiuping saw that there was no other way, so he had to hide.
Entering the valley side of Mount Koya, this is the blind spot for the pair of iron gunners.
Charlie, on the other hand, was fighting and retreating at the end of the team. There seemed to be a very good iron gunner on the mountain. Charlie saw his figure several times, and he seemed to be dressed in gray. Even if Charlie changed cover frequently, he could always
Anticipate and shoot quickly.
"If he had been shooting with a bow and arrow instead of an iron cannon, I would have died long ago." Charlie secretly rejoiced in his heart, and at the same time seized every opportunity to fight back. Under his precise and rapid shooting, four of Sugitani Zenjubo's men were killed one after another.
He shot from the bottom of the mountain.
"It's really interesting!" Sugitani Zenjubo saw his men being shot to death one by one by Charlie, but he smiled instead of getting angry, and chased down the mountain with great excitement, "Don't tell me I won't let you if I meet my opponent.
Escaped easily!"
·
Yu Qiuping and the remaining guards withdrew into the valley, and were about to breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, gunfire rang out from the other side of the valley, and two more guards fell down in an instant.
"Something's wrong!" Yu Qiuping could tell at a glance that something was wrong. The shooting just now must have forced them into this valley. Now if they wanted to turn around and rush out, they would have to risk the firepower of two groups of people, so they had to rush into the mountain.
"Are they from the Sanhao family?" Yu Qiuping secretly screamed, "Did they discover my traces? But if it was the Sanhao family who discovered my traces and wanted to assassinate me, why not solve the problem within the Sanhao family's territory instead of dragging it out?
Come to Kii?"
However, the assassin obviously did not give Yu Qiuping much time to think, as the sound of iron cannon fire kept ringing behind him. Yu Qiuping and a group of guards continued to flee along the valley into the mountains in embarrassment, and only Charlie had the chance to fight back.
Charlie always runs a few steps quickly, then finds a bunker to hide, quickly completes loading and reloading, then turns over and takes quick aim, shooting at the chasing ninjas on the mountain. Until now, he has barely missed the target.
Pass. And the top of the mountain
Sugitani Zenjubo was also getting bigger and more energetic, and he repeatedly shot and killed Yu Qiupei's guards. Charlie and Sugitani Zenjubo seemed to be getting more energetic. Every time Sugitani Zenjubo hit a guard, Charlie would shoot back.
, shot and killed a ninja from Sugitani Zenjubo. And if Sugitani Zenjubo's shot was aimed at Charlie, after Charlie escaped, he would fire back at Sugitani Zenjubo, putting Sugitani Zenjubo in danger.
Surrounded.
"It's really interesting! It's interesting!" Sugitani Zenjubo became more and more excited the more he fought, and he felt vaguely that he was invincible. "It's just that so many of us surrounded him as a shooter, it was a bit unfair, and he couldn't use all his methods.
ah!"
Along the way, everyone stumbled, and two more guards were killed one after another. Yu Qiuping was left with only Honda Tadakatsu, Ryuko, Charlie and three other guards. The iron gunners on the cliffs on both sides were still poor.
They couldn't give up. Because there was a river in the middle of the valley, it was completely flattened by the impact, and there was no shelter to hide from. So, the seven of them found a somewhat abandoned cabin by the river in the valley. No one had time to think, and immediately
Rushed in.
After hiding in the cabin, Ryuko immediately slammed the wooden door behind him with his backhand. Almost at the same moment, there were several loud "dong-dong" noises on the wooden door, and there were several more bullet holes. The pursuing ninjas
I fired a few rounds at the wooden house and found that it had no effect, so I stopped shooting, as if waiting for something.
"Is it finally safe?" Yu Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the sound of gunshots. "Now we have to find a way to escape! We will definitely not be able to contact the main army here. Let's see if we can escape from the mountains, and then
Let’s find a way to take a detour back to Maple Leaf Mountain City.”
Just when Yu Qiuping was thinking about a safe retreat route, Longzi suddenly exclaimed: "Your Highness! Not good!"
"What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping was startled by Long Zi, and turned around to look, "What happened?"
"Above! Above!" Ryuko, who had just retracted his head from the window, pointed to the cliff in horror, "There are rolling stones and oak trees!"
Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly poked his head out of the window next to Longzi and looked up. He saw that on the cliff directly above the cabin where they were, their attackers used rattan nets to hold a large amount of oak and wood.
The rolling stone, hanging above the cabin, could fall at any time - smashing the cabin and the people inside into powder.
"I'll go!" Yu Qiuping hurriedly pulled back, his mind going blank in horror. He took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down, and analyzed the situation in front of him: "This is a planned attack. They have long wanted to attack here.
There is an ambush for us in the cabin. If we don't leave the cabin, we will all be doomed when the rolling stone and wood on the cliff fall. But if we forcefully rush out of the cabin, we will be immediately beaten into dice by the iron cannons on the cliffs on both sides.
.”
"What should I do?" Just as Yu Qiuping was thinking hard and trying to figure out a way to escape immediately, a shout suddenly came from outside the wooden house.
·
"The ones inside are Yuqiu Hongye!" A greeting suddenly sounded not far from the door, surprising everyone.
"The distance is very close, no more than three feet." Yu Qiuping immediately made a judgment based on the voice, and asked at the same time: "Unknown young man, who are you?"
"Your uncle is Sugitani Zenjubo, the best iron gunner in Kinki." Sugitani Zenjubo shouted back unceremoniously: "Don't waste your time running away, even the birds in the forest can't dodge my gun, so you think
what?"
"Sugitani Zenjubo is from the Rokkaku family, and he is probably the leader of this group of people." Yu Qiuping used a provocation method to ask for the key information, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "If we can hold him hostage, then we can
There is a chance to escape successfully."
Yu Qiuping then gestured to Honda Tadakatsu and Ryuko, and the two immediately moved quietly to the door, ready to rush out at any time.
However, there were dozens of iron gunners on the cliff. The danger of the two of them rushing out was also very high. Yu Qiuping could not make up his mind for a long time, whether to let the two of them take Sugitani Zenjufang hostage.
However, what Sugitani Zenjubo said next shocked everyone present.
"Yuqiu Hongye, I don't have time to talk to you for the moment. I'm here to find your southern barbarian archer!"
After hearing this, everyone in the room turned their attention to Charlie, and Charlie also looked at the wooden door with a puzzled expression.
"You know very well now, with falling rocks above you and gunners all around, it's a dead end." Sugitani Zenjubo laughed arrogantly a few times, then changed his tone and whispered: "But you guys
There is something about the sharp archer, and he was able to fight me back and forth. Just now, we have more people and fewer people, so we can't feel the fight. It would be a pity to kill you like this. It's rare to meet a good opponent, so I can't enjoy it.
The experience of shooting you to death in a one-on-one shooting contest is really a pity."
"How about I give you a chance to fight in a duel?" Sugitani Zenjubo then issued an invitation in a mocking tone, "Come out, and we will find a place to fight with iron cannons. If you kill me, I will kill you."
Everyone was let go."
As soon as this statement came out, not only the inside of the wooden house, but also the iron gunners on the cliffs on both sides were in an uproar.
"Sir, what do you want to do? Don't forget the mission?" the iron gunners on the mountain shouted one after another.
"Shut up!" Sugitani Zenjubo yelled unceremoniously, immediately silencing the iron gunners, "I have been practicing marksmanship for so many years just for the joy of killing masters. What do you know! Execute me
My order, if that Nanman kills me, let Yuqiu Hongye go, do you hear me?"
"Sir, but..." There was another ninja who wanted to raise an objection, but Sugitani Zenjubo shot him directly with his backhand, and it collapsed on the rock beside him. The ninja was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.
"Goro, take my order and go back to the ninjas now." Sugitani Zenjubo shouted loudly to one of his subordinates, "If I die and Yuqiu Hongye is killed by a few of them in breach of contract, you will
Their families were all killed!"
The ninja who was called Goro nodded and left quickly. At this time, the ninjas on the cliff were completely stunned. They knew that their leader could really do such a thing.
"How are you? Are you relieved now?" Sugitani Zenjubo put his hands on his hips and shouted to the cabin again.
"Your Highness, what should I do?" After seeing this, Long Zi lowered his voice and asked Yu Qiuping, "Are we still going to hold him hostage, or..."
Yu Qiuping did not answer immediately, but turned his attention to Charlie. This matter should be chosen by Charlie himself.
Charlie looked resolute and without any further hesitation, he saluted Yu Qiuping, opened the wooden door and walked out.
If I don't fight, no one will be able to escape. Even if he has no intention of challenging me and just wants to trap and kill me, what's the difference between this and being smashed to death in a wooden house?
If I win, and if his words happen to be believed, everyone will survive.
If you fight, you will have a chance to live. If you don't fight, you will only die.
There is no good choice, not to mention being able to compete with people with excellent shooting skills is what archers long for.
Without fear, he met Sugitani Zenjubo's excited eyes with his blue pupils.
