"I found three suspicious people in the direction where I was responsible for defense. I asked the farmers and few people came to the village at this time. I suspected that they were spies for bandits." Shichiroji quickly walked into the house and reported to Kanbei.
"They haven't noticed it, have they?" Kanbei asked. "Not yet." "Well... don't alert them..." Katsushiro rushed into the room and said hurriedly: "Master, there are three horses in the back mountain! War horses! Look.
They are coming from bandits!"
Kanbei picked up the knife and stuck it in his waist, and said calmly: "I know, let everyone get ready." Before he finished speaking, Jiuzang and Gorobei also rushed back. Jiuzang asked and said: "The bandits are coming.
?" Kanbei nodded: "Let's go together and try to keep them. If there is no chance, try not to let the bandits discover that there are samurai in the village."
Among the villagers, although the young men and women strictly guarded their defensive positions, the women and children still looked panicked. Kanbei told Rikichi: "Tell everyone to come in and don't panic, it's just three bandits."
The samurai hid in a house not far from the wooden fence and looked out through the window. They found three sneaky figures looking into the village through the wooden fence. Each of them had a sword and a wakizashi on their waist.
Standard wandering warrior dress.
"It must be a spy for the bandits!" Kanbei laughed in a low voice: "I saw Mucha was surprised, it seems that we haven't been found yet." Gorobei nodded: "I hope they think they are just farmers."
"Where is everyone!" In the quiet village, Kikuchiyo yelled while carrying his nodachi. "Baga! That idiot!" Hayashida Heihachi cursed secretly. "Kikuchiyo, Kikuchiyo! Shut up!" Hayashida Heihachi said
He covered Kikuchiyo's mouth, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him into the house.
"Oops, we've been discovered!" Kanbei couldn't help but said anxiously as he watched the bandit escape. All the warriors glared at Kikuchiyo. If it hadn't been for this reckless guy, the bandit wouldn't have discovered them. Once the bandit let him
Knowing that there are several samurai in the village, they will be very careful when attacking.
"We can't let them go now!" Kanbei said firmly. "The bandits' horses are in the back mountain. I'm familiar with that place." Sorayama Kazuha said calmly: "Just wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can."
Jiuzang looked at Kazuyo Sorayama and suddenly said: "The back mountain is the area I am responsible for, and I will be with you." Jiuzang was worried about letting Kazuyo Sorayama go by himself. After all, no one knew if there were other ambush by the bandits.
Or maybe one of these three is highly skilled in martial arts, although this possibility is not high.
Kazuyo Sorayama nodded and said: "Okay, speed up and get ahead of them." Seeing the two most skilled martial artists leaving quickly, the warriors breathed a sigh of relief. If there were no accidents, these three bandits would be dead.
Kikuchiyo lowered his head and said awkwardly: "I didn't mean to do it..." Before he could finish speaking, Kanbei said: "Okay, follow them quickly and catch them alive to atone for your sins."
Kikuchiyo immediately raised his head and said excitedly: "Yo Xi! Look at my ability!" "Take a shortcut, lie in ambush beside the horse, tell Sorayama-kun and others, and kill everyone else."
Kanbei instructed: "Katsushiro, you discovered the horse. Go with Kikuchiyo. Remember, you don't have to take action."
In the quiet mountain forest, the three horses quietly rolled up the lush grass stalks with their tongues and put them into their mouths. The sweet juice in the grass stems flowed down the corners of the horses' mouths. From time to time, they stretched their strong necks and neighed, seeming to be very satisfied with the food here.
.
"What a good horse!" Kikuchiyo exclaimed as he finally met up with Kazuyo Sorayama. Then he said to Kazuyo Sorayama: "Hey, Kanbei ordered us to keep one alive for questioning. Each of the three of us will be captured. I will be responsible for arresting him.
You are not allowed to rob me alive!"
Kazuyo Sorayama nodded, pointed to the big tree next to the war horse and said: "Katsushiro stay here, let's go over there." After all, Katsushiro has never experienced a real battle, his martial arts skills are still very raw, and his opponent is cruel.
Bandits, tension is inevitable.
Although Katsushiro was a little disappointed when he heard that he would not be needed in the battle, he was more quietly relieved.
He lay down in the grass and carefully observed the other three people: Jiuzang sat behind a tree with his eyes closed, twisting a small flower in his hand, seemingly not nervous about the coming battle; Kikuchiyo climbed up a big tree and leaned down.
He hid his figure on a thick branch that protruded; while Sorayama Yiye stood leisurely behind a tree in front of the two people, holding the handle of the knife with his left hand and his right hand hanging down naturally, as if he was looking at the scenery.
Except for Kikuchiyo, who still has some strategies, Katsushiro feels that the other two people seem to be a little abnormal. If it were him, he would at least have a sword in his hand and always observe the movements of the bandits. How could he close his eyes to relax and look at the scenery?
!
Not long after, from Katsushiro's field of vision, he could already see the hurried figure of the bandit in the distance. Kikuchiyo, who was hiding in the tree, threw a branch towards Jiuzang, which meant to remind him of the bandit's arrival.
Apparently he also discovered the whereabouts of the bandits.
Before Kazuyo Sorayama saw the bandits, he had already heard their footsteps, followed by breathing. [The steps are light and regular, the breathing is rapid but not random, the martial arts should not be bad] Kazuyo Sorayama thought to himself.
However, although the frequency of everyone's footsteps is relatively stable, there is no coordination between the bandits at all: the three of them line up in a line, and the one standing in the middle does not even have room to draw a knife. In the event of a sudden attack, except for the last
If one of them had a chance to turn around and run away, the two in front would have almost no chance of surviving.
[Kuzou has no chance to draw his sword... Forget it, let's fight quickly and leave it to him next time...] Sorayama Kazuha, who seemed to be looking at the scenery, actually analyzed the bandit at all with just his voice.
Escape, but also mentally prepared to face the battle.
Sorayama Kazuyo has never experienced this kind of one-to-many battle where the real purpose is to kill the enemy.
Although he was confident that with his current level, it would be easy to kill these three bandits, his honed swordsman instinct still allowed him to carefully analyze his opponents. From this moment on, the fate of the bandits was sealed.
Kongshan Yiye stood so quietly under the tree, as if he was integrated with nature. When the first bandit was almost standing side by side with him, he was surprised to realize that there was someone beside him!
"Who is it?" The bandit was extremely vigilant. After seeing Ichiyo Sorayama, he immediately jumped to the side and shouted loudly.
The bandit had just raised his toes, and before the first word came out of his mouth, Ichiyo Kuyama casually swung his knife, and the sharp cut had already passed through the bandit's throat.
The bandit's body suddenly lost control, and was thrown into the air by inertia. A cloud of blood sprayed out from his raised neck. The blood rain fell on the white mountain chrysanthemum, with crystal blood beads and white petals, and light yellow.
The flower stamens are combined into a picture of great visual beauty. The bandit fell headlong into the flowers, but his wide eyes and twitching body destroyed the harmony of the picture.
The second bandit's knife had been drawn halfway, but what appeared in his eyes was a soft blade. After killing the first bandit with a single-handed swing of the knife, Kazuyo Sorayama ran towards the second mountain bandit without any pause.
The thief left.
He didn't care about the condition of the first bandit, because the enemy with half his neck cut open had no need to pay attention.
While the first bandit was still in the air, Sorayama Kazuyo's right hand had already pulled back. He held the tail of the knife handle with his left hand, gently moved his right foot forward, raised the long boat's light in his hand, and moved straight along the second mountain.
The thief's forehead was straight down.
Each move is not very fast, but the amazing thing is that the bandit can't dodge it!
A bunch of blood marks divided the bandit from his forehead to the center of his eyebrows, and from the tip of his nose to his chin. The blood marks began to expand, like a river full of water, with white brains and red blood, starting from the bridge of the bandit's nose.
The shunt will spread all over the cheeks in just a moment.
At this time, the knife in the bandit's hand had just been halfway pulled out, and he died on the spot motionless with his eyes wide open.
Seeing this tragic situation, the third bandit let out a cry that was not like a human voice. He even seemed to have lost all the courage to draw his knife, so he turned around and ran for his life.
But just as he turned around and took two steps, he felt a cold sensation on his left foot behind him, as if he couldn't use any strength at all. Then a sharp pain overwhelmed his nerves, and he fell to the ground, bending down and hugging his left foot.
Writhing and wailing in pain.
It turned out that when he turned around and took the second step, Sorayama Kazuha stepped behind him and cut off the big tendon of his left foot with a slash. When he was not out of the range of the weapon's attack, trying to escape from the battle by turning around was tantamount to
Deceiving yourself, especially when facing an opponent like Kazuyo Sorayama.
While the bandit was howling and writhing on the ground, Kazuye Sora raised his knife and swung it at the back of his head, causing the bandit to immediately collapse to the ground motionless.
Starting from Sorayama Kazuyo's first swing of the knife, if you express the trajectory of the knife with lines, you will find that it is a perfect whole-sided triangle; and the knife that cuts off the hamstring of the escaped bandit changes the entire picture from a flat surface.
The promotion to three-dimensional gives people the illusion that if there are enough bandits, he can paint the entire space.
