Tinder slowly approached the match rope on the musket, and the bandit raised his gun and took aim; at this moment, the two bows and arrows broke away from the bowstring and shot straight towards Kazuyo Kongshan! Kazuyo Kongshan kept walking, and his figure was like a phantom dodging an arrow.
He raised his hand to cut off another arrow, but he had to stop because of these two actions. At this moment, two bullets hit him at the same time!
The cooperation of the bandits can be said to be impeccable, but Kazuyo Sorayama was always on guard against the muskets. His eyes did not fall on the bow and arrow from the beginning, but he only relied on body perception to dodge. Seeing the light from the muzzle of the gun, he
He instantly bent his knees and rolled his body forward, "Pah! Pah!" Two native flowers splashed behind him.
However, the biggest crisis is the last musket!
The experienced bandit did not join forces with his companions, but accurately predicted Sorayama Kazuyo's movements. It was not until Sorayama Kazuyo rolled that the bullet viciously shot out from the muzzle and went straight to Sorayama Kazuyo's back!
At this time, Sorayama Kazuyo held a knife in one hand and supported the ground with the other. His body was almost half-kneeling on the ground. He dodged two bows and arrows one after another. The two bullets had exhausted his energy. He would be exhausted in one breath. It could be said that he was completely trapped.
Desperate situation.
Kazuyo Sorayama knew that no matter whether he rushed forward or retreated, he would never be able to dodge this bullet. He bit his gums, his hair stood on end, and he took a strong breath. He struggled to support his head on the ground, and the blood vessels in his forehead and neck bulged.
Stand up, and at the same time exert force with your left hand and left foot to drive the right half of your body, standing upright in the air like an open page of a book. The body forms a crooked "big" character.
The bullet penetrated the front of his chest and entered the soil next to his toes.
Such extreme dodge methods stunned the bandits. They had never encountered such a difficult opponent. The bandits, including the leader, even forgot their mission.
A bandit had empty eyes and said tremblingly: "He, is he still a human? Is he a ghost..."
Kazuyo Sorayama's whole body was sore at this moment. Several bursts beyond the limits of his human body caused many capillaries in his muscles to rupture. If it hadn't been for a long period of hard training, he would have been able to break his neck and left hand with just that last dodge.
!
But at this time, he was at the end of his strength. From helping Kikuchiyo defend, to fighting fiercely in the paddy fields, to quickly supporting this place, he is still fighting fiercely until now.
During this period, he never stopped to rest for even a moment, and even squeezed his body many times to stimulate his potential. No matter how incredible his physical fitness was, he was still a living person after all, and he would still get tired and get injured. But
He raised his spirits again and again, used the sword in his hand to break through difficulties, and made every enemy who faced him feel heartbroken. This is the swordsman's will!
Kazuyo Sorayama endured his physical discomfort and limped toward the bandits with a murderous intent. His right hand, the beloved sword Captain Guang, was dragged to the ground by his lowered arm, leaving a straight mark.
The bandits and their horses were frightened, and were forced by his momentum to tighten their reins and retreat step by step. The problem they faced at this time was that they did not dare to rush towards the killing god on the opposite side, but they also did not want to go deep into the village for fear of being caught somewhere unknown.
Support came from time to time, attacking from both front and back.
However, a strange scream in the distance made their decision for them. They heard Kikuchiyo's running figure bring up a cloud of dust, and he yelled: "Whoa, ya, ya! Don't run, watch me, Kikuchiyo-sama, kill them all."
You bunch of beasts!" He looked almost like a general commanding thousands of troops, full of indomitable momentum.
Just as he finished speaking, Shichiroji yelled loudly: "Don't let the bandit go!"
This was the time when the bandits were at their lowest. Seeing the interceptors in front of them and the pursuers behind them, as well as the continuous support from the warriors, their morale suddenly disappeared.
The bandit leader gritted his teeth and ordered: "Let's go!" They rushed towards the outside of the village. However, they did not make any intention to attack the stumbling Sorayama Kazuyo. Instead, they made a small turn and hid.
They passed the swordsman they feared the most and ran out of the village almost sticking to the side of the mountain road they came from.
Kazuyo Kuyama looked at the bandits going away and let out a long breath. He couldn't hold on any longer. His feet softened and he sat down on the ground. Kuzou, Kikuchiyo, and Shichiroji hurriedly squatted next to Kazuyo Kuyama, moving up and down.
After checking his body and seeing no blood seeping out, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Kanbei rushed here with the support of farmers, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the intact people, and asked softly: "Kuyama-kun, are you injured?" Sorayama Kazuyo stood with difficulty leaning on his knife.
He stood up and said in a hoarse voice than usual with deep tiredness: "I'm a little exhausted. I'll be fine after just one night's sleep. I'll leave this place to you."
After saying that, he staggered towards the village. He knew that at this time, his fighting power was not as good as that of an ordinary farmer, and it would be useless to stay here. The most important thing now was to recover his strength to prepare for tomorrow's life-and-death battle.
Several samurai watched Kazuha Sorayama disappear into the darkness in the distance. Only then did Kanbei realize that Gorobei was not there. He asked anxiously: "Where is Gorobei? Is he..." "Dead."
He was shot in the abdomen and we didn't have time to save him." Jiuzang replied in a low voice.
Kanbei murmured with tears in his eyes: "Gorobei... He is a good partner... and Hayashida Heihachi, they are all outstanding samurai..." Kikuchiyo was shocked and lost his voice: "That guy Heihachi
Also dead? Damn bandits! Damn it!"
Kanbei sighed sadly: "It was my mistake this time! One wrong step, one wrong step after another. If it hadn't been for Sorayama-kun, the village would have been in danger tonight."
Kikuchiyo asked confusedly: "What went wrong?! Although two of us died, we can be considered a winner!" As an old partner, Shichiroji understood Kanbei's guilt at this time and said with relief: "War
That's it, no one can fail, sacrifice is inevitable. Kikuchiyo is right, we won tonight."
Kanbei knew that this was not the time to show his sadness. He regained his composure and asked: "How many bandits have been killed in all directions? We need to formulate a strategy for tomorrow!"
Everyone in the village except Sorayama Kazuyo gathered in the village square. Kanbei concluded that the bandits would never send people to sneak attack again at this time, so he would call all the people to assign tasks for tomorrow's war.
Although the farmers who had just experienced a big battle were physically and mentally exhausted, they had gradually lost their former simplicity after resisting the bandits' attack, and each of them had a hint of toughness in their expressions.
Kanbei looked around the scene and said slowly: "Tonight, we sacrificed two samurai and nine peasants." When the peasants who lost their families heard this, they couldn't help sobbing softly.
"But we killed 16 enemies! We successfully blocked the bandits' sneak attack. We won tonight!" Everyone's spirits were shaken.
Kanbei continued: "There are still 14 bandits left. They will attack with all their strength tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle! From now on, I will give everyone an hour to say goodbye to their families, and then all return to their respective defense positions to rest. This
In a battle, you can only win but not lose!"
At this time, Kikuchiyo suddenly said: "Uh... everyone, uh... tonight, please take good care of my wife!"
The tension at the scene was immediately destroyed. The farmers all laughed, and the warriors couldn't help but laugh, which diluted a lot of the sadness.
Katsushiro shyly peeked at Chino in the crowd, and the peasant girl responded boldly to her lover. At this time, all wars, bandits, classes, and the future... all disappeared, and they only had each other in their eyes.
