At this moment, everyone under the Maple Bird Horse Seal was also shocked by the momentum of the cavalry who rushed into the formation. At the cost of sacrificing nearly half of them, they forcibly fought their way through the red leaf army's defense lines.
Come - a veritable bloody road. Where the horses of the cavalry team stepped on, there was basically no clean land. It was either a mountain of corpses or a sea of ​​​​blood. The eye-catching scarlet color separated the road and the surrounding dark brown land and silver gray
They are clearly distinguished, as if a mischievous child had used a brush dipped in red ink to draw a graffiti on the carpet.
"What's going on with these horses?" Asahina Taihei was as shocked as the frontline soldiers. He rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe it, "Are you all crazy?"
"It's too strong." Mori Ranmaru was also shocked when he saw this scene, "There is no flag...who is the leader?"
"Who else could it be?" Although Yu Qiuping couldn't find Shihe Yicun in the chaos, he knew without thinking - Yu Qiuping could not find any warrior in the world who could lead such a desperate attack.
Less than the second one.
"Oni Juhe."
"Your Highness, please return to Suruga Maru for the time being." Honda Tadakatsu took a step forward and asked Yu Qiupei for orders.
"Huh?" Mori Chang Ke let out a very different cry of surprise. He was eager to try and suddenly turned around anxiously, "Captain, we also have 500 flag guards around us. The hundreds of knights who rushed over are probably the only ones left.
It’s two to three hundred, and there’s no armor on, and everyone is still injured! That’s it, do we need to run?”
"If the opponent is Oni Toga, I'm not sure of victory." Honda Tadakatsu couldn't help but began to issue orders to the guards behind him. Mori Naga, who had long been looking forward to fighting Toga Ichibun, saw the situation and said anxiously, "Captain
!You are the best warrior in the world! If you run away with just one move, wouldn't you be a disgrace to the world?"
"If you ask for it on horseback, the samurai will never refuse." Honda Tadakatsu turned around and said seriously to Morinagako, "But at the moment I am a guard, and the safety of His Highness is the first priority."
Seeing Honda Tadakatsu's determination, Morinaga was immediately discouraged. He leaned on his shoulder listlessly and licked his lips unwillingly. At this time, the team of Miyoshi family cavalry continued to advance.
It was about to break through the last line of defense in front of Yu Qiuping. Behind him, Suruga Maru had already docked the boat. The guards opened the way in an orderly manner and occupied several high ground by the port, waiting for Yu Qiuping to ride away.
.
However, Yu Qiuping did not take action for a long time. Instead, he stood there and stared blankly at the cavalry rushing towards him. The shouts of killing gradually approached, and the battle was unfolding on the last line of defense.
"Your Highness?" Honda Tadakatsu rode up to Yu Qiuping again, leaned over slightly and said, "Please evacuate."
"Nanosuke, I suddenly had a premonition." Yu Qiuping only felt that there was an inexplicable consciousness affecting him in his heart, "Maybe I should stand here, this is my destiny."
"Your Highness." Honda Tadakatsu did not raise his voice. Instead, he lowered his voice and repeated it. However, his words did not imply any discussion.
"I understand, let's withdraw." Yu Qiuping finally sighed and nodded slightly. Then, he took a group of guards and rode towards the pier of the port. Honda Tadakatsu and others escorted Yu Qiuping to the top.
When boarding the boat, the desperate cavalry broke through the last line of defense at great sacrifice, and the remaining guards lined up at the edge of the port to defend against the enemy. When the boat docked behind the Suruga Maru parked on the edge of the cliff, there was immediately a hanging
The ladder was lowered. Yu Qiuping climbed up the hanging ladder. Two sailors pulled Yu Qiuping up from the side of the ship.
As soon as his feet landed, Yu Qiuping couldn't wait to walk to the bow of the ship and looked towards the shore. His flag guards launched a wall cavalry charge from a high position, giving the Sanhao cavalry a head-on blow. The Sanhao cavalry failed to block it.
They were instantly swallowed up by the torrent of steel. The few cavalrymen who had rushed through the wall cavalry formation reluctantly urged their exhausted horses to sit down and fight towards the pier on the shore. They watched Yu Qiuping's Maple Bird Horse Seal safely transferred to
On the huge iron-clad ship of Suruga Maru.
Yu Qiuping watched with his own eyes the Sanhao family warrior who was at the front, riding his horse into the sea water, and kept rushing forward until the horse's head and body were almost swallowed by the sea water, then he reluctantly took the warrior in his hand
The swords were thrown towards Suruga Maru. In the end, the samurai swords just hit the steel on the side, making a "ding-dong" sound, and helplessly fell into the sea water.
Although the Miyoshi cavalry's desperate charge broke through several fronts of the Red Leaf Army, the exchange ratio was very ugly. Under normal circumstances, no one would use precious cavalry to charge one-for-one with the opponent's spear array. However,
It was already very difficult for these three good cavalry, but they were able to break through two red leaf troops in reserve.
Ghost Shihe really deserves its reputation.
The remaining Miyoshi family samurai aimlessly hacked and killed in the Hongye Army's position, and were soon besieged and eliminated one by one by the reorganized Hongye Army. Yu Qiuping suddenly felt a little lost - he showed his horse seal to attract the Miyoshi Army.
, I originally thought that the Sanhao Army would engage in an all-out army battle to take his life, but in the end it was just a "special attack" by Shihe Yicun and hundreds of knights. Although Shihe Yicun
Cun and his hundreds of knights had done their best, carving a bloody path between the two red leaf army reserves - but no matter how long the bloody path was, it could not spread to the sea, and there was nothing they could do with this ironclad ship.
"Oni Juga, after all, was defeated by the times just like his third brother Anzai Awaji." Yu Qiuping stroked the cold side of the armored ship in front of him, sighed sadly, took out his telescope, and began to look at the port
While looking for the body of Shihe Yicun. Due to this desperate attack, the Miyoshi family did not bring a flag, so it is estimated that it will take some time to confirm the identity of Shihe Yicun.
Where did he die? Did he lead the charge and was shot to death in the first salvo of iron artillery? Or did he heroically hold several spears on his chest while charging into the battle? Or was he?
Was he one of those cavalrymen who rushed into the sea? Or was he fighting to the end and just being surrounded and killed by spearmen?
A great samurai like him should have a glorious end. Compared with these several ways of death, it seems that he was still the one who rushed into the sea and threw his sword helplessly at Suruga Maru, who was close in front of him but far away in the horizon.
The knight who came was more tragic.
Just as Yu Qiuping was pondering these thoughts, there was suddenly a rapid and heavy sound of horse hooves.
"How can there be the sound of horse hooves on the sea? You heard it wrong." Yu Qiuping ignored the strange noise and continued to look at the shore through the telescope until the alarms of several, dozens or even hundreds of people sounded behind him.
voice.
Yu Qiuping moved the telescope away from his eyes, turned around blankly, and found that the guards and sailors on the deck behind him were all looking up at the sky. Yu Qiuping looked up from their angles, and saw the Suruga Maru docked.
On the edge of the cliff, a black shadow galloped quickly on the cliff, rushing straight to the end of the cliff at the seaside. Then he jumped up high with his horse's belly, suddenly blocking the dazzling sun, and jumped straight from the cliff, one man and one horse.
Get off and step onto the deck of Suruga Maru, which is docked on the edge of the cliff!
"I swore an oath!"
The knight in common clothes used an unimaginable riding skill to successfully slow down the ship and land on the deck with a loud "bang". The loud noise was immediately overshadowed by the knight's roar.
He raised the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand high and roared like a ghost as he rushed towards Yu Qiuping at the bow of the ship!
"Kill you!"
·
"Enemy attack!"
"Oni Juga!"
"Ten rivers and one deposit!"
"how could it be possible?"
"Why do people fall from the sky onto the ship?"
"When did he go around the cliff?"
"Protect Your Highness!"
There were exclamations and whines on the deck, and the sailors were in chaos, making it impossible for the guards who tried to intercept Shihe Yicun to form their formation. Shihe Yicun urged him to sit down on his horse, and roared towards Yu Qiuping.
As Fang Tian's painted halberd rose and fell, he saw a bloody storm rising on the deck, with broken arms and limbs flying across the board. No one could stop this evil knight even for a fraction of a second. Shihe Yicun rode his horse to break through and get closer.
All the sailors and guards blocking the way were as fragile as pieces of paper in front of him. They were chopped down and swept away like melons and vegetables, leaving only corpses and blood on the ground. The horrified people fled away, even Yu Qiuping's Hatamoto guards.
Their faces turned pale with fear. No one was an enemy of Yihe, and they were all killed instantly with one move. As soon as Shihe saved himself, he crashed through the crowd like a rock that split the waves, charging unscrupulously in the crowd. He was only a short distance away from Yu Qiuping.
15 meters! Yu Qiuping hurriedly tried to find a place to hide, but found that the deck was empty.
Sen Changke saw that the distance was too far, and there were so many people in front of him that he couldn't squeeze through. In desperation, he stepped on a wooden stake on the deck, jumped up, and flew over the crowd, yelling at Shihe Icun.
Stab away with one shot:
"Asshole! Look here!"
However, Tokawa Icun didn't even look at Morinagako, didn't slow down at all, and casually waved his backhand to the side at the moment when he put away the halberd, and swept away the boneless Morinagako who was holding it.
It flew out and rolled into a crowd of people in the distance, injuring a piece of it.
"Damn it!" Seeing that Yu Qiupei was about to be in danger, Asahina Taihei, who was crowded in the crowd, suddenly rolled forward on the ground and rolled to the side of Tokawa Ichino's horse, and fiercely grabbed the horse's hind legs. The horse.
He twitched in fright and kicked Asahina Taihei away, but he finally slowed down a bit.
Taking advantage of the half-breath that Asahina Taihei had bought, Honda Tadakatsu cut down several sailors blocking the way in front of him without hesitation, raised the Dragonfly Kiri high, and strode in front of Yu Qiupei.
He shouted to Shihe Yicun, who was riding his horse one step ahead of him: "Don't hurt my lord!"
After seeing Honda Tadakatsu appear, Tokawa Kazun's irritable eyes finally gained a hint of seriousness. However, he had no intention of fighting with Honda Tadakatsu who was blocking his horse. While increasing his horse speed, he
, he quickly changed positions on the horse with the flexibility that his strong body should not have, squatted on the horse's back, then jumped high on the horse's head, jumped off the horse's back, and planned to fly directly over Honda Tadakatsu's
He raised his head to attack Yu Qiuping. Shiheyi aimed at Yu Qiuping in the air, and pulled back the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand to an angle that was far higher than the top of his head that shouldn't exist - such an accumulation of power must be so powerful
What a heavy blow.
"Do you think I will suffer the same loss again?"
Honda Tadakatsu will never forget that during the battle in Nishi-Tosa, Toga Ippon jumped up high in front of him, leaped over his head, landed directly behind him, and went straight to pursue Yu Qiupei.
Yu Qiuping almost lost his life that time. This was a shame that Honda Tadakatsu would bear in mind for many years!
At this moment, Honda Tadakatsu, who had already anticipated Tokawa Ippuno's move, roared and jumped up high, stepping on the shoulders of a panicked sailor beside him and jumped up suddenly, jumping to a height that was only half shorter than Tokawa Ippuno.
The height of his body and the huge reaction force knocked the sailor to the ground. Honda Tadakatsu also twisted around and gathered strength, pulling the dragonfly cutter horizontally to an exaggerated angle, and then punched Tokawa Ichibun's abdomen fiercely.
A single blow swept across the air. The two most terrifying warriors from the Eastern and Western Kingdoms both leaped nearly two meters into the air and flew in each other's direction, about to receive the decisive blow in the air.
"He jumps higher than me. If you hit him above, you may not win." Honda Tadakatsu was prepared for failure, but he didn't waver at all. "But at least you can knock him down and block him... Your Highness can do it."
escape."
However, the expected huge impact when the spears and halberds collided with each other, which was enough to crack the tiger's mouth, did not come. It was not a collision of metals, but instead - the dragonfly cut easily tore and cut off and the stickiness of the bones, and the sense of penetration.
The relief that suddenly appears after seeing through.
Honda Tadakatsu slowly turned his head and looked diagonally upward in disbelief. The blood spilled and the black shadow split in two already gave him the answer - he had cut Toga Ichin in half.
Shihe Yicun did not swing his halberd or block.
"How is it possible?" Honda Tadakatsu was shocked, how could Tokawa Ichisun make such a stupid mistake.
Then he immediately realized that he was wrong.
Shi He Yi Cun made no mistakes.
This is what he calculated.
Honda Tadakatsu, who was unable to make a second move in the air, continued to turn his head and look back in despair, only to see that the upper half of Toga Ichisun's body after being cut in half was still holding the Fangtian painted halberd raised high.
In a posture that maintained balance with astonishing core strength, it relied on inertia to fly over Honda Tadakatsu's head, and fell to where Yu Qiuping was behind him.
Yu Qiuping stared dumbly at the horrifying scene in front of him, and the ghost Shihe who only had his upper body left. The cross-section of his waist was suddenly dripping with bloody internal organs, but his roar seemed to tear his eardrums. Only Shihe could be seen.
He Yicun raised his hair, his eyes were cracked, and at the moment when his body fell in front of Yu Qiuping, he suddenly swung a fatal blow towards Yu Qiuping that seemed to be able to shatter an armored ship, and at the same time opened his big mouth.
He yelled at Yu Qiuping:
"Second brother! Third brother!"
"Brother!"
At a loss, Yu Qiuping raised the telescope in his hand and tried to block it. His mind was racing in confusion. At the last moment when he was still conscious, an image kept echoing in his mind:
Chapter completed!
