Lan En did not act rashly. He waited until all the wanderers behind him had arrived before he spoke.
"The bandits rushed out of the forest and rushed to the bank of Longquan River. This is not normal."
Kotaro and the others are still adjusting their breath. The forest is already difficult to walk, and even more What's more, in an area like Ashina Country where the height difference is exaggerated.
The panting Rongrants lowered their bodies and followed Lan En's words to observe the bandits twenty meters away.
The number of people is about forty. He almost looked like a farmer, bare-chested and bare-legged.
Only a large breastplate picked up from an unknown battlefield covered the upper body, and the dirty crotch cloth was leaking out.
The weapons were a mixed bag, including samurai swords, spears, two-handed axes, and longbows
Lan En was originally confident that one person could handle them all, but what he discovered next , was the reason why he waited for the Ronin group to follow.
"Ferry"
Kotaro had tried his best to lower his voice and exclaimed.
The shock in his eyes was exactly the same as that of the remaining Ronin.
Longquan River is not a calm river, and it is impossible for a calm river to exist in the terrain of Weiming Country with such an absurd height difference.
It is not easy to cross the river on a large scale.
One of the Hirata family's defense strategies is to seize the ferries and gather them on the side of Hirata Manor.
But now, the noisy bandits on the river are digging out several ferries from the well-covered weeds and reeds in several places
Now , the appearance of these ferries does not just mean that the bandits have beaten the autumn wind several times.
There is a traitor in Pingtian Village
A traitor with a high status
Even, is Pingtianzhu’s strategy of defending against foreign enemies normal for this period of time? , no one can guarantee it at this time
The ronin and Kotaro are not stupid. They look horrified now. They are not afraid of the bandits in front of them, but the fate of Hirata Village.
Lan En can kill all these people on land, but if they run to the Longquan River in a boat, the speed of the water will be unusual.
So, manpower is needed.
"You're pretty good with a bow and arrow, Kotaro."
Lan En raised his chin towards the short Ashigaru.
"I will rush out to take action in a moment. You need to kill one of the people left next to the ferry first, and try to shoot a few more."
"The rest of you, this time As long as you stay on the edge of the ferry and don't let them pass, you will be successful."
The wanderers turned their heads left and right and looked at each other.
There was a look of uncertainty in his eyes.
Hearing what the group leader meant, he wanted to attack the formation of forty bandits alone
This kind of thing was not uncommon in the Warring States Period, but it mostly happened to famous generals. , these ronin and the ashigaru have never even met.
But Lan En is hereTian's authority came into play, and even though they were hesitant, everyone under his command still nodded in agreement.
Each held the handle of the gun and the handle of the knife, ready to fight.
Kotaro took off the long bow he was carrying and strung the arrow.
He swallowed nervously. In fact, this was his first time to kill an enemy in battle.
The attack on Lan En when they first met was just a subconscious reaction to protect the faith and attack the enemy.
And just when he felt his throat was dry and itchy due to excessive tension, he was ready to turn to Lan En to determine the right time to take action.
But
with a very low "swish" sound
A huge figure rushed out from behind them, carrying the wind.
The Ronin and Kojiro were even slightly stunned by this breeze. It felt like being passed by an evil tiger
The bandits outside the forest were still noisy.
They have been waiting for the day for a long time.
Although recently, for some reason, I can get money and food without going out.
It's fun, but without the step of going down the mountain to rob and kill people, many of them still feel depressed.
But today, their leader told them that today they can not only go down the mountain to plunder, but also go to places that they did not dare to approach in the past
Pingtian Village
Stretch your hands there
The bandits who had long guessed that there was a backer behind them couldn't help but be extremely happy.
At this time, while celebrating with strange screams and chants that they had suppressed for too long, they began to follow the leader's instructions to lift the ferry out of the cover and put it into the Longquan River.
When the bandit on lookout saw a burly figure rushing out of the forest, he was a little dazed for a moment.
After all, in their minds, who would live impatiently and cause trouble for more than 40 people alone?
Even after Lan En had already taken two steps forward, The bandit was still talking to his companion next to him with a relaxed expression.
"Hey, what's that big guy doing here?"
"Who cares about holding a sword in his hand and wearing shabby clothes"
The two talked It took less than three seconds, but he didn't wait for them to finish.
A bright silver light flashed directly between the two people's necks
A head flew directly into the air, and a bandit was swept sideways because of his position. The Sword of the Lake Girl opened the right half of her neck.
Until then, more than ten meters away, Lan En, after rushing out, accelerated a second time, where the soil was mixed with grass roots and debris before he landed.
Both people were connected. With no chance to make a sound, their bodies have since lost the conditions to make sounds.
Among the forty people, a few of the bandits looked in this direction and opened their mouths in a daze.
But before they could react, an arrow shot through the air.With a "puff" sound, he stabbed into the shoulder of the bandit who was swinging the ferry
Lan En's brows frowned slightly, Kotaro took action too late.
But it doesn’t matter.
The body of the bandit who was hit by the arrow shook violently and suddenly because of the pain.
His armor therefore pinned the arrow shaft, allowing the iron arrowhead to twist slightly in his flesh.
Immediately, under the sharper pain, he suddenly let go and screamed.
"Ah"
The voice was hysterical and shrill.
But Lan En acted very calmly about this tragedy. After all, the boy should have had the same expression not long ago.
"The enemy is attacking the enemy"
The bright silver sword blade slashed diagonally across the bandit's Japanese breastplate from bottom to top.
This kind of breastplate was mostly used by lower-level warriors, and was stripped off by bandits to wear on their upper bodies.
The treasure of iron material means that there is not much metal structure on the armor, so it is light enough. But it is also thin enough
When the blade of the Lake Girl Sword is lifted up, the tip of the sword always penetrates the opponent's back.
After one move, the bandit's upper body was cut off diagonally.
A serious cut in two parts brought the already restless atmosphere to a freezing point.
The person who created this atmosphere flicked the blood spattered on his wrist.
The pair of cat eyes that make people feel chilled do not waver at all.
"You guys really like to shout when they fight."
Shaking off the blood, he grasped the hilt of the sword again.
"The lack of beauty is a little annoying"
