A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 205
Asai Nagamasa originally left the battle under Sakon Sakon and Numata Yumitsu to command, while he and Ning Ning personally went to rescue Saito Dozo.

Thanks to the extraordinary ninjutsu of the little kunoichi, even though the Yilong Army had surrounded Sagiyama Castle, they could still reach the White Snake Shrine where Dosan was located through the secret passage.

Those dangerous situations that were difficult for ordinary soldiers to overcome were like walking on plain ground for the two of them.

But he soon had to change his strategy because he still underestimated Yilong's boldness.

Not only are there warriors in Lushan City who were corroded by the spirit stone and turned into half-human, half-demon monsters, there are also such monsters in the army at the foot of the mountain!

No wonder he dared to set such a trap with only 1000 troops left!

"Hahaha, I am Takeyado Town, the traitor Mitsuhide Akechi. Please pay the price for disobeying Lord Saito Yoshiryu!"

While laughing, the samurai with red eyes, green ghost horns on his head, and multiple wounds on his body with green light came out, single-handedly, and took the lead in attacking Akechi Mitsuhide.

Although he had expected an ambush from the other side in advance, Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help being surprised when the ambusher actually appeared.

Not only because of the many strange things about the opponent, but also because from the information he knew, Zhuyao Daozhen had taken the lead in crossing the river three days ago and personally launched an assault on Master Daosan, and then was killed by many personal guards. Just behead him on the spot!
But now the opponent not only did not die, but showed a bravery that was far beyond ordinary samurai. In the blink of an eye, at least six or seven of the ashigaru in the front line had been killed by the opponent!

He immediately shouted loudly and rode forward, trying to stop the rapidly declining morale: "Don't panic, the opponent is just alone. Form a spear formation and work together to fight against him! Where are the archers? Shoot him with all your strength!" "

Unfortunately, Zhuyao Daozhen showed extraordinary strength. Although the archers were shooting randomly, an arrow soon hit his forehead by luck, but the arrow that landed on him was not a hit. The sound of flesh and blood was instead a crashing sound like hitting a rock, and the fragile arrow even turned into fragments on the ground on the spot.

Even if occasionally a brave samurai launched a counterattack, his vigorous sword struck like a stone, making a dull "clang" sound, and the powerful reverberation even made his wrist numb and painful.

But looking at the other party, although there was a shallow wound on his body, the blood flowing out of it was not bright red blood, but purple-black, filled with an unknown viscous liquid!
The warrior suddenly understood. How could his opponent be a human being?He is clearly a humanoid demon!
But he woke up too late. Zhuyao Daozhen laughed again and cut the samurai in two with his sword. It was obviously just an ordinary samurai sword, but in his hand it was more powerful than an ordinary axe. Powerful.

Then under everyone's shocked gazes, Zhuyao Daozhen grabbed the offal scattered on the ground with his hands and ate it in big mouthfuls.

While eating, he gave vague orders: "Kill them all, and I want to watch their blood spill all over this land!"

A series of thunderous roars followed, and Akechi Mitsuhide discovered that among the Yilong Army ambushing here, there were at least dozens of warriors very similar to the warriors in Zhuyao Road Town. They all had red eyes and green eyes. It has ghost horns and a green light lingering on its body, making it look like a demon but not a human being.

The difference is that the location of each of their wounds is different, the green light lingering on their bodies is much weaker in comparison, and their sanity seems to be much worse. They can't speak at all, they can only make bursts of beast-like noises. roar.

When he saw that the wounds on several of them were obviously located in vital areas such as the neck, chest and abdomen, Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly came to his senses.

How could they be human beings? They were clearly war ghosts among corpses awakened by spirit stones!
Master Yilong actually used the power that was most tabooed by Master Dao San. He actually used spiritual stones to strengthen his army to fight for him!
What is about to happen here is not the ambush and counter-ambush he expected, but a massacre of humans by monsters!

Moreover, the reaction of the ashigaru behind the opponent was absolutely abnormal. Ordinary ashigaru would not react at all when seeing people eating people, and they would even march forward in an orderly manner!
Akechi Mitsuhide immediately shouted to a young warrior a few meters away: "Shuman, retreat! All troops retreat!"

While shouting, he also repeatedly performed hand gestures on his hands, attaching a faint layer of water to his weapons and armor.

Although Master Dao San has reminded himself and Li San more than once that spells must not be exposed to ordinary people, let alone use spells to fight other humans, how can the enemy in front of him be considered a real human being?
But his order was still a little late. Dozens of ghouls rushed up with roars, instantly setting off a storm of death in his army, and then the ashigaru behind them all stared at him with red eyes. With both eyes, he caught up with his spear raised.

Akechi Mitsuhide's ashigaru who didn't know what was going on were stunned almost instantly. Especially when they saw Takekado Town with blood on his mouth and face, some ashigaru collapsed on the spot, and even There are not a few people who are directly frightened to pee.

Their morale, which was not very high in the first place, fell to the bottom in an instant, and they turned around and ran away crying.

Because they finally realized what they were about to face. It was not such a brave and fearless warrior, but a legendary monster!

"It's a monster!"

"A monster is eating people!"

"Help!"

"Run away, run away!"

"I don't want to die!" In just a few dozen breaths, the battle that Akechi Mitsuhide thought he was sure of winning was about to end in an unprecedented fiasco!

In a forest a few hundred meters away, a middle-aged warrior Akechi Mitsuhide was about to issue an order to launch a pincer attack on the Yilong Army. After vaguely hearing Akechi Mitsuhide's scream, he couldn't help but be stunned and didn't understand. Why did they change their minds at such a critical moment when they had clearly discussed the strategy before?

With the obstruction of the woods and the distance of several hundred meters, he, who was just an ordinary warrior, could not clearly see what was happening in the distance.

But the troops led by his nephew Mitsuhide and his son Hidemitsu were being attacked by the Yilong Army, and he could still see this very clearly.

"Father!"

Next to him, a young samurai in his teenage years, full of vigor and desire for battle, was looking at him eagerly. That was his other son Akechi Mitsutada, and this was also his first battle after Yuanfu.

Another young samurai of about the same age also drew his sword: "Akechi-sama, I, Tokuyama Norihide, and Tokuyama are all ready. It's time to be loyal to the Saito family!"

The Tokuyama people actually don't have much loyalty to the Saito family, but as the saying goes, wealth is gained through danger, and trying to save Saito Dozo is extremely risky, but once successful, the rewards will definitely be extremely generous.

But if they choose to retreat at this critical moment, if word of it later reaches the ears of Saito Yoshiryu, they Tokuyama people will really be different from each other inside and outside!
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so Akechi Guangan could only grit his teeth and draw out the sword from his waist: "Okay, as Lord Zexiu said, soldiers are very fast. Attack, our team will launch a pincer attack on the Yilong Army from the side. !”

No matter why Mitsuhide shouted that, as long as he acted quickly, rescued him first, and then withdrew the troops, it would still be too late, right?
"Oh oh oh, come on!"

Many samurai and ashigaru who were also unable to see the battle situation immediately followed him and rushed out of the forest.

Even though Saito Yoshiryu has such a strong position, they still choose to follow Akechi Mitsuyasu and Akechi Mitsuhide, their uncles and nephews, to come together to support or rescue the trapped Dosan. Of course, they are not lacking in loyalty. No lack of courage either!
But before they could run far, several more members of the Yilong Army came out.

Even far away, they roared like tigers. Looking at the oncoming army, there was no fear in their eyes, but only excitement. Some of them even kept licking their lips, as if they were really You have to choose people to devour.

Akechi Mitsuhide was immediately anxious after noticing this, because he could see the identities of the opponents from the flags carried on the backs of those warriors.

They were clearly samurai who had died in previous battles. Unexpectedly, Yilong actually collected all their corpses and made them into such evil war ghosts!

"Uncle, let's go quickly, I will take the rear here!"

While shouting loudly, Mitsuhide Akechi tried hard to organize the ashigaru to resist. Even if they couldn't defeat each other, at least they shouldn't run away in such a mess and trample each other to death!
At the same time, as the distance continued to get closer, when the samurai who was the vanguard was killed like a torrent, and then the enemy began to kill the enemy while swallowing the broken flesh and blood, Akechi Mitsuyasu finally understood why Mitsuhide had just Yelled that.

It's a pity that he woke up too late. On such a chaotic battlefield, sometimes he was not able to retreat just because he said he wanted to.

What's more, in order to come to rescue the three masters, he and Guangxiu ran for a long time in person, and it took a lot of saliva and face to finally gather this thousand-man army.

If he left the army here now and just turned around and ran away, even if he could successfully return to Zhizhi City, what face would he have to face the others?

Really, I thought that after a few more years, I would hand over the power to my more outstanding nephew Mitsuhide and let him assist his two incompetent sons while I gradually retire.

But he didn't expect that Lord Yilong would swing his sword at Lord Daosan first, and then he would encounter an army of monsters here.

In this case, I'm afraid even my body won't be preserved after I die.
With this thought in mind, Akechi Guangan was ready to die here, because the monster in front was getting closer and closer, and he could even clearly see the pieces of meat embedded in the opponent's teeth.

Akechi Guangan sighed again and couldn't help but look at his son who was a few meters away from him. Although there was fear on the young man's face, he also had high morale. If he could survive today, he would definitely be an outstanding person in the future. warrior.

Really, Guangzhong originally wanted to use his own martial arts to earn another [-] dan for his family, so that he could get enough land for [-] dan.

It's a pity that he will probably never have this opportunity.
But at this moment, an extremely calm and confident male voice suddenly sounded in the distance: "Jirun, order the iron artillery team to come forward and fire five times!"

"Yes!"
