Volume 6 The Eight Hundred and Forty-Sixth Chapter Extreme
There was heat in the back of my head.
Yu Qiuping realized that blood seemed to be trickling from the back of his head.
He woke up suddenly and found himself lying in Suruga Maru's cabin.
"Your Highness is awake!" Ye Gusuizi's surprised voice came first, and then a bunch of people appeared in Yu Qiuping's field of vision. Only then did Yu Qiuping realize that his head seemed to be wrapped with a bandage. He subconsciously
He raised his hand and touched it. There were no scars on his face, but there was an opening on the back of his head. Moist blood could be felt through the bandage.
"Your Highness!" Asahina Taihei, Mori Ranmaru and others rushed to Yu Qiupei's side, all of them crying with joy. Yu Qiupei supported Haotani Honoko's shoulders and stood up, her head was still a little unclear.
"How long have I been asleep?" Yu Qiuping couldn't remember what just happened, and tried to recall the last memory before coma.
"It's night now." Mori Ranmaru replied immediately, "In the cabin of Suruga Maru."
"Did I get stabbed by Shihe Yicun in the end?" Yu Qiuping remembered at this moment that his last memory was that he received a fatal blow from Shihe Yicun on the deck.
"Yes, Your Highness, we all thought you were going to die." Mori Ranmaru was still a little scared when he thought about what just happened, so he took a telescope that was broken into two pieces from the table beside him.
"Togawa Icun struck down with his halberd. If you hadn't blocked it with your telescope, causing him to miss the target, you would have been dead!" Mori Ranmaru swallowed, as if he didn't dare to recall the scene at that time.
"You are truly blessed and blessed...really."
"It's obvious that the cut was not missed." Mori Nagako, who was sitting against the cabin in the distance, muttered in a low voice, but everyone ignored him.
"Where is Shihe Yicun?" Yu Qiuping realized another problem after reacting.
"Killed by Captain Honda." Asahina Taihei recalled what happened not long ago, and felt a little palpitated. "After he failed to hit the target, his body also fell to the other side. He only had half of his body left, but he actually used his hands.
I pushed myself to move, moved a few times towards His Highness, and tried to give you a stabbing blow, but was stabbed to death by Captain Honda."
"Is he really a human..." Yu Qiuping swallowed with some difficulty, and continued to slowly caress the wound on the back of his head with his right hand. Suddenly he realized something was wrong, "Wait a minute! Shihe Yicun was condescending and slashed me from the front.
A knife, why is my wound on the back of my head?"
"Togawa Ichibun's blow seemed to have been blocked by His Highness and then missed. It struck from His Highness's ear. The head of the halberd directly cut into the side of Suruga Maru's armored ship behind you. Half of the halberd head was embedded in the armor.
Went. His Highness was hit by the impact and couldn't stand still. He fell backwards and fell on the sharp point of the halberd head, which was scratched." Asahina Taihei gestured with his hands beside the bed, Xiang Yu Qiupei
Explain the situation.
"Is the quality of my helmet that bad? It broke after being knocked back?" Yu Qiuping burst out laughing when he heard this. He picked up the helmet placed next to the bed and went to check the scars on the helmet - but the result was unexpected
It was discovered that the nick in the helmet seemed to be split from the inside, rather than being damaged from the outside.
"I told you it was not missed!" Mori Nagako, who was sitting nearby, shouted again, stood up and walked into the crowd, pointing at Yu Qiuping's helmet and said, "Shihe Yicun's blow must have come from
It hit the helmet on the inside. I happened to be looking in that direction at the time and could see it clearly."
"You've been yelling for a long time, come on." Asahina Taihei seemed to have disagreed with Mori Nagaka's statement, and waved his hands casually, "If Juga Issun hadn't cut it off, the helmet must have been cut from the inside.
?" Asahina Taihei said as he put the helmet on his head, pointed at the location of the crack, and then moved the location of the crack on the back of his head to his face, "If it was really chopped from the inside,
Then isn't this just a chop on His Highness's face? Then His Highness's head will be gone, okay?"
Asahina Taihei's words aroused everyone's agreement, but Morinagako remained stubborn.
"Second brother, were you knocked out and knocked unconscious?" Mori Ranmaru pulled Mori Choke's hand with concern, "Are you okay?"
"Ranmaru, what are you talking about?" Morinaga shook Mori Ranmaru's hand away in embarrassment, but he was also a little shaken. If Tokawa Icun's blow hadn't been deflected, Yu Qiuping would have been dead by now.
The head is in a different place. But the gap in the helmet doesn't look like it was hit from the outside.
"Did His Highness's body become insubstantial at that moment?" Mori Nagako mumbled a few times in a daze, causing Mori Ranmaru next to him to cast an even more worried look.
"How was the army during the time I was in coma?" Yu Qiuping immediately asked about the business after he recovered a little.
"After His Highness passed out, there was no one to command the army. Fukuzawa-sama was worried that the Miyoshi family would launch a surprise attack on the leaderless Hongye Army, so he urgently requested all units to move." Mori Ranmaru knelt down next to Amakihei and explained to him, "Now the Red Leaf Fleet
The Red Leaf Army, which had already retreated to the open sea, and had landed, merged with the east and west and stopped the offensive. The East Route Army all retreated to Takamatsu Port in the north far away from Juga Castle, and the West Route Army retreated to Marugame Port. The entire army was building fortifications.
, to prevent the upcoming offensive of the entire Sanhao Army."
"Yu Nan did a good job." Yu Qiuping nodded slightly and approved Fukuzawa Yunan's arrangement, "What about Chang Zong's army and the reinforcements from my family?"
"The progress of Chosou's army is rapid. It seems that the Miyoshi family has concentrated all its troops on the coast of Sanuki country. There are almost no people left in the hinterland of Shikoku. His highness Chosou's army has captured a large area at this moment. Your Highness Ikeda,
His Highness Mori and Lord Sawaki’s troops are also making good progress, and it seems that no one from Awa Kingdom is left, and they have already advanced to Katsuri Castle."
"Has the location of the main force of the Sanhao Army been discovered?" Yu Qiuping stroked his wound uneasily.
"Not yet, but there is a high probability that it will be in Tokawa City." Mori Ranmaru reported to Yu Qiuping in a low voice, "Lord Fukuzawa believes that since the Miyoshi family is willing to kill His Highness at the cost of Tokawa Issun's life,
There must be a follow-up attack plan against the Hongye Army. In this case, the troops must be gathered as close to the Hongye Army as possible. Either Shihe City or Yintian City. The Military Intelligence Department just made an appointment with Yintian City not long ago
The details of the investigation have been taken up, and there is no large army in Yintian City. Based on this speculation, only Shihe City, where martial law is still under martial law and no information has been leaked, may have the Miyoshi family's army gathered."
"In other words, are all our troops now gathered at the two ports on the north coast of Sanuki?" Yu Qiupei asked, and Mori Ranmaru nodded.
"Then it shouldn't be a big problem. Even if the entire Sanhao Army comes, they won't be able to eat a single piece. We will resume our offensive when it gets dawn tomorrow." Yu Qiuping said as he searched around the cabin, but didn't see anything.
Honda Tadakatsu appeared and asked: "Where is Nanosuke?"
"The captain is still on the deck." Yahei Asahina sighed, shook his head slightly and said, "The captain has been staying at the place where His Highness was attacked. He seems to be very remorseful."
"I'm going to see him." Yu Qiuping stood up holding on to the mattress. Although the faint pain from the back of his head made him a little awkward to walk, it was obviously not a serious problem. With the help of Ye Gusuizi, Yu Qiuping walked quickly
They walked onto the deck. The blood stains on the deck had been cleaned up, but Yu Qiuping could vaguely recall Shiheyi's crazy killing spree not long ago.
No one would have thought that Shi He would actually jump off the cliff next to the port and jump onto the armored ship, which everyone thought was absolutely safe. Even in retrospect, many people may still find it hard to believe such a story.
If you tell it to others, it will be regarded as a myth, right? The bewildered sailors and guards on the deck at that time watched the Toga Ichimon jump off the cliff like a god descending from the earth, and their mood was probably the same as that of the Heike army in Ichinogani
Look at Minamoto Yoshitsune's despair as he rides his horse from the cliff to kill him.
"Before, I thought that times have changed. In the eyes of the Kyushu warriors, the sea, which is like a chasm, is the only way out in front of the Red Leaf Fleet." Yu Qiuping laughed at himself, "But now I am reminded by Oni Juga - the times have not changed.
Change. Even if it is a giant iron-clad ship, a samurai can kill it single-handedly."
Through the dim moonlight, Yu Qiuping could vaguely see the burly figure standing on the side of the ship. After hearing Yu Qiuping's footsteps, Honda Tadakatsu knelt down directly on the deck towards Yu Qiuping without saying a word.
He leaned over and apologized:
"I am incompetent and have put His Highness in danger in front of Shihe Yicun again and again. I am really shameless. After this battle, I will definitely commit seppuku."
"You are not allowed to commit seppuku. This is an order. You have to go back to the Tokugawa family." Yu Qiuping bent down and helped Honda Tadakatsu up. The bottomless regret and shame in the latter's eyes made Yu Qiuping
I felt shocked.
"You have done your best. No one would have thought that Shihe Yisun would have his upper body slashed at me at the expense of being cut in half." Yu Qiuping patted Honda Tadakatsu's shoulder and said with relief.
"A samurai doesn't need excuses. If you lose, you lose. Please don't stop me again and again. I have no choice but to commit seppuku to wash away my reputation." Honda Tadakatsu stubbornly shook his head, "I didn't expect that.
No matter whether you didn’t expect it or not, the result is…”
"In the end, I'm not still alive. It's him who loses, not you. You don't need to commit seppuku. Without you, I'm dead." Yu Qiuping stretched out his other hand to the side of the ship, stroking the deep seam.
The dent that Shihe Yicun cut in - this was a dent that neither iron cannons nor roasted bombs could make, but he was able to cut it out with manpower.
"He has achieved the ultimate. I can't imagine how a few hundred knights can do better than Shihe Yicun when attacking a commander who is protected by tens of thousands of troops and a huge fleet." Yu Qiuping
He took a deep breath with emotion, and slowly exhaled in the moonlight, "Three good brothers and four brothers... none of them are fuel-efficient. Three good ones use conspiracy, An Zhai Dongkang uses experience, and Shihe Yicun uses martial arts."
, the three of them have done the best that any warrior can do, forcing me into desperate situations three times. If it weren't for the protection of fate, I'm afraid I would have been finished long ago."
"I'm a little curious, what will the only remaining one of the four Sanhao brothers do?" Yu Qiuping suddenly showed a smile, "In the current situation, the last desperate special attack failed, and the Sanhao family
We are already at the end of our rope. A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice, so what can Sanhao Changqing do?"
Just when Yu Qiuping was thinking wildly, Mori Ranmaru suddenly ran over and said hurriedly to Yu Qiuping:
"Your Highness, Sanhao repairs Changqing and would like to see you."
