Kazuyo Sorayama and Katsushiro led several young farmers to guard the house next to the paddy fields. Different from the original movie, Kazuyo Sorayama helped Kikuchiyo defend, which caused the bandits to retreat faster in the direction of the sneak attack.
The bandit leader ordered them to come together to attack the direction of the paddy field, so the number of people was much larger than Kanbei expected, but the only defenders here were Katsushiro and a few farmers.
The bonfire on the other side had long been extinguished, and a dozen bandits were lying in the water with their heads exposed and slowly moving forward.
Kazuha Sorayama said seriously to Katsushiro: "The situation has changed. Go and notify Kanbei for reinforcements. I will resist for a while."
"But..." "Stop talking so much, you are going to die if you stay here, leave quickly!" Sorayama Kazuyo shouted sternly, turned to several farmers and ordered: "And you, Kasushiro
Go together."
Katsushiro said stubbornly: "I am also a samurai! Let the peasants report the news, and I will kill the enemy with you." Kazuyo Sorayama stared at Katsushiro coldly, but the young samurai did not avoid his gaze this time. It seemed that he was doing it no matter what.
He won't run away either.
Kazuyo Sorayama's expression turned calm. He reached out and rubbed Katsushiro's head and said: "Don't worry, I won't die yet. I really hope they will attack me with all their strength, but I'm worried that these bandits will escape if they are not defeated.
Go to the village and kill the farmers.”
The strong self-confidence gave Sorayama Kazuyo's deep and hoarse voice an indescribable sense of peace of mind. Looking at the shaken Katsushiro, Sorayama Kazuyo continued: "What's more, do you think you are a three-legged cat now?"
Is martial arts helping me or dragging me down?”
Katsushiro gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran towards the village as fast as he could in his life, regardless of Kanbei's instructions to pay attention to his physical strength.
There was only an empty mountain left in the wooden house. Through the gap in the wooden planks, he looked at a dark pool in the distance. He walked out of the door and came to the shore, holding the bamboo gun left by several farmers under his arm.
He leaned over, picked up a torch, and threw it towards the center of the pool. Although he could hear the movement of bandits in the water, he could not accurately perceive the specific location of each person.
The torch drew an arc in the sky. When it reached its highest point, it was like a bright lamp, illuminating the pool water extremely brightly.
In the paddy field, more than a dozen mountain bandits had already crossed most of them, and they were less than 30 meters away from the shore. If you were on land at this distance, you could kill Sorayama Kazuyo in just a few breaths.
However, the waist-deep pool and the mud up to the ankles required the bandits to spend several times more time and effort to get close to the shore.
The torches illuminated the ferocious faces of the bandits. Seeing that the sneak attack had been exposed, the bandits no longer hid their figures. They shouted in unison and wanted to rush into the village at one go. But the next moment, they were enveloped in huge panic!
The torch began to fall downwards, and along with it fell the bamboo spear in Kazuyo Sorayama's hand!
Of course Kazuyo Sorayama has not specifically learned throwing techniques, but with his control of his own muscles, the accuracy he can achieve in a short distance of 30 meters is not much worse than the modern javelin world champion.
When the torch was at its highest point, Ichiba shot out the first bamboo spear. Since he was not familiar with the weight of the bamboo spear, it would pass by the neck of a bandit. The bandit was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and subconsciously dived in.
Don't dare to show your head in the water.
But the second bandit was not so lucky. The long bamboo spear hit the bandit's neck, and his shouts suddenly stopped. The bandit threw away the long knife in his hand and tried in vain to pull out the bamboo spear from his throat.
At this time, the torch was about to fall into the water. The last two bamboo spears in Sorayama Kazuyo's hand were thrown one after another. One bamboo spear was cut off by an agile bandit in the air; the other one stabbed the chest of another bandit.
But unfortunately, it was blocked by the strong body of the bandit. The bandit was only brought down by inertia and did not suffer any substantial damage.
The torches were extinguished by the water, and the pond became pitch black. Perhaps aroused by a few bamboo gun shots, or fearing more bamboo gun shots, the bandits rushed over with even more ferocious cries and speed, waving their hands.
The knife cut off the sharp bamboos arranged on the shore and climbed up to the shore.
Kazuyo Sorayama originally didn't expect to kill the bandits with a few bamboo guns, but the probability of one out of four still made him quite dissatisfied. Unfortunately, he was not good at using a big bow, and Gorobei and Kanbei were not here, otherwise he would have been defeated.
The bandits lost half of their men before they even got ashore.
He quietly took out the long boat gun around his waist, and silently dodged towards the first bandit to come ashore. The bandit had just crawled out of the water at this time, and had not even put one foot on the shore, although his vigilance was already raised.
He reached the highest point, but it wasn't until the captain's light pierced his neck that he vaguely saw a figure standing in front of him. He only had time to let out a short scream before his head rolled far away.
However, this also served as a warning to other bandits, and they climbed ashore as quickly as possible.
The paddy field is not the small river that Kikuchiyo defended. There is only a short section for entry, but a long embankment. A dozen bandits lined up in a line, and everyone went ashore a few meters apart. No matter how fast a leaf on an empty mountain can be,
Kill so many people at the same time.
The accomplices on both sides of the slain bandit saw a sneak attack and immediately launched an attack together: one person held a knife with both hands and swept across Kazuyo Sorayama's legs, while the other swung at Kazuyo Sorayama's neck with his backhand.
Kazuyo Sorayama tapped his toes and jumped backwards. The two knives grazed his body and passed each other. Before the two bandits could change their moves, Kazuyo Sorayama's body, which seemed to be moving backwards, instantly rushed forward.
There is no jerkiness between transitions. This kind of action that seems to violate the law of inertia cannot be said to be completed by ordinary people. Even if it can be done, the ankle cannot bear such a huge force at all. It can range from spraining to breaking on the spot!
The bandit who attacked his legs seemed to be fierce because he was holding a knife in both hands, but he also sacrificed his dexterity. At this time, he had no time to change his moves. He could only watch Sorayama Yiye slash his neck with a cassock, almost slicing his neck open.
Halfway through, although the armor on his chest blocked the blade that continued to move downward, the blood spurting from the aorta to the sky told him that his life was over. The bandit's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe that he died so easily.
The bandits on the side suddenly lost the courage to attack alone when they saw the ghostly movement of Sora Ichiha. They took up their stance and guarded the middle section, slowly fading in the direction of the other bandits.
Kazuyo Sorayama did not pursue him. At this time, he was facing the paddy field, and could easily fall into a passive situation of a last-ditch fight. If he was pressed head-on by the bandit, he would instantly lose room to dodge and maneuver, and would have to fight hard to exchange injuries for injuries.
Although he has very little experience in facing group attacks, any skilled martial artist will not rely on death even if he is besieged from all sides. The same is true for Sorayama Kazuha. He quickly retreated from the encirclement that the bandits had vaguely established, and re-opened the circle.
Keep your distance and prepare for another round of fighting.
At this time, a trembling cry came from among the bandits: "It's him! He's the swordsman with great martial arts skills!" This bandit, who is either unlucky or lucky, has seen a sneak attack on the mountain village from a distance, like a piece of art.
This sneak attack happened to be assigned to attack Kikuchiyo's defense, so it was horrifying to witness the death of those two unlucky accomplices just now!
However, among the bandits, there were some who believed in their martial arts skills. Instead of being intimidated, they were even more eager to try, hoping to kill the swordsman on the other side to achieve the first victory.
A leader in heavy clothing waved his hand: "You guys hold him back, and the rest follow me. Remember, don't miss any house and burn down this village! Seeing the fire in the village, the leader quickly
Will come on horseback to help."
This leader did not take Sorayama Ichiyo seriously at all. In his opinion, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, they were still well-trained warriors. What's more, Sorayama Ichiyo only wore civilian clothes, and all of them had heads.
Wearing a forehead iron and a crotch ball, as long as you protect your neck from being slashed with a knife, you won't be easily killed no matter what.
Sorayama Kazuyo also knew this, so the first few bandits he killed were all hit by him in areas where there was no armor to protect the body: below the waist and above the neck.
Moreover, he used his speed to make a surprise attack when the bandits were unstable. If a few bandits were allowed to form a simple battle formation on the ground, no matter how superb his martial arts skills were or how sharp the sword in his hand was, he would never be able to kill the enemy with one blow.
.
But even so, he couldn't let the bandits enter the village from behind him, because at this time, all the warriors and capable soldiers were defending around the village, and the only people left in the houses in the village were unarmed women and children. Even if they ran into a mountain
Thieves will also cause huge casualties to the villagers! They may even attract the main force of bandits outside the village to attack from both inside and outside!
Sorayama Kazuyo's face was solemn, he knew that the moment when he needed to fight had arrived.
