Warring States Eagle

In the tenant village at the foot of the mountain where the Honjoji temple is located, the bald monk who attempted to assassinate Masara was in danger of being surrounded by the Luo family's retainers.Kato Danzo's large naginata was the first to strike, and then Takahashi Shaoun's long spear stabbed at him.In front of Zheng Liang, Yukimori Yamanaka stood majestically, with an attitude of never retreating.The cloaked members of the Luo family who were in charge of guarding nearby and the samurai warriors of the samurai squad were also coming here.

Faced with such a situation, the bald monk thought to himself that the assassination was doomed to fail, and under such circumstances, no matter what, he could not fight against so many people, otherwise he would be surrounded.Thinking of this, he sneered and stepped back again and again.

"Where to escape!"

Seeing the bald monk trying to escape, Kato Duanzo and the others shouted angrily.They really felt very ashamed, they didn't even know that the assassin touched the lord Masaragi, they really deserved to die, whether it was them, the cloak guards who were in charge of guarding nearby, the samurai standing guards, etc., they all deserved to die.

At this time, the bald monk finally felt scared when he saw the anger of the Luo family.Previously, he was able to lurk here by avoiding the nearby guards by coincidence by virtue of his familiarity with the terrain, and the reason why he was able to spot Zheng Liang all at once was also because of Zheng Liang.The main reason is that the stable where Zhengliang is located is the only place in the village that is guarded by a large number of warriors, and the main banner of the family pattern representing the family governor of the Luo family happens to be here. An important person from the family came, so he came here secretly.

In fact, because he touched Zheng Liang's vicinity too easily (in fact, he was as lucky as winning the lottery), so he looked down on those warriors of the Luo family.As a result, now he is really facing the aura of these people in front of him.Only then did he realize that he was wrong.So he hurriedly stepped over the fence trembling, and then fled to a small river next to the village along the secret passage that he had just sneaked into. Seeing more and more pursuers around him, he jumped into the river directly, and escaped by diving from the bottom of the water up.His water skills are quite good. When he was chased and killed by Han Cang Zongdi, the army god of the Han Cang family in the Echizen Kingdom, he escaped by diving into the Jiutoulong River.

"Damn it!" Seeing the bald monk jumping into the water and fleeing, Takahashi Shaoyun and the others who came after him looked at the sparkling river and were filled with resentment.But in the end he had no choice but to return to the village to protect Zhengliang.

And Zhengliang's side just comforted the woman and her husband who were trembling with fright because of the assassination incident and sent them away.When I first entered this stable.Zhengliang's subordinates had carefully inspected the place, so the assassination this time had nothing to do with the couple who were in charge of taking care of the stables.

However, after this assassination incident, Zheng Liang discovered a problem, that is, he has become more and more relaxed recently, and he didn't even notice that the assassin came to him.And he relies too much on that magical system that he has.Yes, in the past, when danger occurred, the system seemed to automatically give Zheng Liang some sense of danger, but after many personal experiences, Zheng Liang discovered that he had to plan to make the early warning function of the system work.First of all, he himself must maintain a vigilant attitude.This time, it was because he was too relaxed that the system's early warning function did not occur.

After thoroughly introspecting himself, Zheng Liang immediately ordered everyone to join him with the Luo family army outside the village.Then prepare to defeat the monk soldiers and mob teams on the opposite side, and finally head to Honjoji Temple.

Just as Zhengliang was rectifying the army, the bald monk who escaped by diving dragged his sword and fled back to Jianru of Honjoji Temple soaked. Jianru of Honjoji Temple also took a nap at this time. wake up.He was also very surprised that the bald monk was so wet, but he still took a look at the bald monk's sword, and after confirming that there was no blood on the blade, he sat up suddenly from the withered grass and said, "You... You... the Buddha's light behind that lord?" Apparently he was asking the bald monk if he had discovered that there was a Buddha's light behind Zheng Liang.

"Has Master Lai Zhao come back?" The bald monk didn't answer Jianru's question immediately, but asked instead.

"Master Lai Zhao?" Jianru of Benzheng Temple was stunned when asked by the bald monk, then put his hands together and said solemnly: "Namo Anituofo, the master has already gone to see Zhenzong during the battle in the early morning gone."

"What?" The bald monk was taken aback. This news was like a bolt from the blue. Master Lai Zhao, who led the believers in the Echizen Kingdom to fight against the Han Cang family for several years and even won many battles, was killed in the first battle here. This news It was too difficult to convince the bald monk, so the bald monk froze immediately.

Benzheng Temple Jianru didn't seem to notice that the bald monk's face was abnormal. Instead, he looked around, and after confirming that there were only the two of them here, he whispered, "I should be punished."

Then he took another long breath and said, "If it is a false Buddha who supports your lord, and it is the real Tathagata who supports us, that would be great!"

"What do you mean?" At this time, the bald monk also reacted to the news of Xiajian Laizhao's death, so he asked immediately.

"I really deserve to go to hell. I want to go to Roche to protect the family."

"Going to surrender?" The bald monk was taken aback.The news of Xia Jian Laizhao's death was enough to surprise him, but now the words of this guy in front of him surprised him even more.

"No, it's to repent to the true Buddha. I'm ready to go to hell." Benzhengsi Jianru threw the saber in his hand into the withered grass, and asked the bald monk in a low voice, "What about you?"

"you?"

"There is a Buddha's light behind that lord! He is a real Buddha!" ​​Benzheng Temple Jianru said reverently.

This time, Honzhengji Jianru didn't answer, he was really frightened at this moment.He wanted to kill the guy in front of him with a single shot, but he immediately remembered that this was his territory. If this guy's subordinates knew that he had killed their host, he would probably be besieged.Suddenly, he thought of Xiajian Laizhao.At the beginning, he had a relationship with Xiajian Laizhao, so he could look down on the guy in front of him, but after Xiajian Laizhao died.He found that he had lost his backstage.So he had an idea of ​​his own in an instant.So he immediately said:

"Let everyone discuss this matter?"

"There really is a Buddha's light behind your lord!" Benzhengsi Jianru said again, and at some point he had tears streaming down his face.Thinking that he still doesn't know how to get that adult's forgiveness, he can't help but regret again and again.If I knew today, why bother?But no matter what, he had no intention of continuing to attack Zhengliang. "So I order everyone to discuss it."

Looking at the current state of Jianru in Honzheng Temple, the bald monk knew that the situation was irreversible, so he could only pretend to nod in agreement.Then he walked out of Honjoji Jianru's yard under the pretext of going to change clothes, but did not return to the yard where he usually lived.Instead, he walked out of the temple directly, and then got into the woods next to the temple.He has decided to leave here immediately and return to Osaka.It's too dangerous to stay here.

Although he was a bit puzzled about the disappearance of the bald monk, Jianru of Benzheng Temple led his men to surrender to the army of the Luo family who was about to attack the army of the temple.Zhengliang personally interviewed Honjoji Jianru and accepted the surrender of Honjoji Temple. The temple will be demolished, the temple fields, mountains and forests and other properties will be confiscated by the Luo family, and most of the monks, soldiers and mobs involved in the riot will be relocated to Kyushu and other places As for the temple masters such as Jianru of Benzheng Temple, they stayed there temporarily, as representatives of the Luo family to persuade those mobs to surrender, and waited for the riot to end.They will go to Chuxiaoji Temple in Notakayama, Matsuura County, Hizen Country, Kyushu to continue their studies.

Just when Honjoji Jianru and others surrendered to Zhengliang, a crucial decisive battle also ushered in the eastern region of Zhou Fangguo.

Zhou Fangguo in a canyon outside Zhounan Village.Xiao Qilang, who is in charge of Zhounan Village's military affairs, smiled foolishly. There were two bloody, bald heads hanging from his waist at this moment. According to what he said, this was his military exploits. Received a generous reward, in fact, in Luo Shi Zuosaburo's mind, he could only give him one word - stupid.Just relying on his meritorious service in the upcoming decisive battle, he can get a generous reward, and adding a few heads is just a joke.

Although Luo Shi Sasaburo thought so, the group of temporary farmers and soldiers behind them with bamboo guns and farm tools all showed admiration. Those guys who have changed from farmers to farmers and soldiers only worship the strong. In their eyes, Xiao Qilang is such a person, although in the eyes of Roshi Sasaburo, it is a reckless behavior.But there were still a dozen or so people who followed suit and hung their heads, so that the place where they were standing was stained with blood.

"Where's the person? Where's the person?" At this time, Xiao Qilang seemed impatient to wait, holding the bloody Taidao in his only right hand and yelling.

Seeing this bloody scene, Luo Shi Sasaburo's complexion got worse and worse.What kind of unlucky life has he been in?To work with such a reckless guy.He is very clear about Xiao Qilang's origin.This guy turned out to be a standing member of the second standing team of the Luo family. Although he was brave, but because he had been too reckless, his left arm was finally cut off by an enemy samurai in last year's Raiders of the West. Killed the enemy, but he finally retired because of this and was assigned to Zhounan Village to be the village head in charge of the village's military affairs.

As for himself, he was the one with the best grades among all those who graduated from the Roche Academy last year, and according to the regulations of the school, he was personally bestowed the Miao character of "Luoshi" by the Governor of the Roche family, Roshi Masahiro, so he changed from Sasaburo to Luoshi Sasaburo .As a commoner, he was naturally grateful for such a great gift, so he was determined to work hard for the Luo family and strive to become an important retainer of the Luo family as soon as possible.In order to exercise his ability, the Interior Cabinet also sent him to this village called Zhounan Village to handle civil affairs.

As for why a graduate with the best grades from Luo's Academy became the head of a small village?There are two main reasons for this.One is that basically every student who graduates from Luo's Academy, regardless of their grades, will be stationed in various grassroots areas of the Luo's family for training.The second is because of the location of Zhounan Village.This village is located on the east side of the marsh city which is still resisting at this time. The east side is located in the area near the marsh city, and it is also the largest village in the vicinity. An important base for logistical support of the situation.That's why he arranged to come here.

Since the riot broke out, as the only two village leaders in Zhounan Village, he and Xiao Qilang immediately led the farmers and soldiers temporarily recruited from the village to pacify the surrounding monks, soldiers and mobs.Fortunately, Xiao Qilang lost an arm.But the bravery remains undiminished.Today, the riots nearby have finally been quelled.But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a powerful army riot that another adult in the family had explained to them before is finally coming, and they will follow the original plan of the adult, and they will be the only one in this place. Go to the canyon in the direction of Marsh City to block this wave of enemies.

Since this blocking battle involved the master's major plan, Sasaburo Roshi, who had been in charge of the backward leaning before, had to go to the front line.Yes, today's battle is his first battle after graduating from Roche Academy.

At this time, Luo Shi Sasaburo looked towards the east of the canyon with a serious face, the more he looked east, the more he felt the solemn atmosphere violently tumbling and gathering.A devil like a bloody mouth is waiting for their arrival.

"Why don't you go to the front and check it out." At this moment, Xiao Qilang said suddenly, and while speaking, this guy even stepped forward.

"Are you crazy? Didn't my lord say that I just need to stick to this place?" Luo Shi Sasaburo immediately grabbed Xiao Qilang and said.

"Why is it so troublesome? Let's see who cut off the heads of those bald donkeys." Facing Luo Shi Sasaburo's persuasion, Xiao Qilang was a little impatient and wanted to break free, but he didn't let go and added another One hand, two hands firmly grasping his arm, the posture is a bit ridiculous.

While the two were arguing, the sound of chanting Buddha and shouting to kill gradually came, and the two stopped pulling the cart immediately.Although Xiao Qilang is a reckless man, he has also experienced several battles.So after listening carefully, he immediately said, "It sounds like there are at least a thousand people."

"What? Thousands of people?" Sasaburo Luo was taken aback when he heard this, even though he had been ordered by the lord before.He was already prepared, but when he looked at the peasants and soldiers with only two hundred people behind him, he was really a little timid.With only such a small number of people, how can they stop the opponent's army of thousands of people?Not only was Luo Shi Sasaburo timid, but even the peasants and soldiers behind him immediately went into an uproar when they heard Xiao Qilang's words.

But they couldn't help thinking about it anymore, because just when they were in an uproar and even had the idea of ​​retreating timidly, a group of miscellaneous soldiers and thieves with various weapons suddenly turned out from the corner of a forest outside the canyon, with a piece of scrub hanging from their heads. The soapy white cloth strips are like the yellow turban bandits in ancient China. It can be said that they are "white turban bandits". They say "Namo Amitabha Buddha" in their mouths, and their cruel eyes are like wild animals. They are not Buddhists but Asuras. Like a devil, he held his weapon high and quickly pressed towards them.Behind these miscellaneous soldiers, another group of monks with wide leather robes and footwear inside rushed out, holding long-handled sabers. All of them had shaved heads.

At first glance, there are really thousands of people, and the strength of the two sides is very different.Sasaburo Luo saw that the other party had a large number of people, weighed the situation, weighed the pros and cons, looked at Xiao Qilang and shouted loudly: "Steady!"

He also wanted to run, but he agreed to the mission of the adult to stop the enemy, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to escape at this time.

"kill!"

Seeing Sasaburo Luo and others in the canyon, a monk in the valley who is a monk soldier and the leader of the mob shouted immediately.This monk was the same Lairian Shimoma who had raised the banner in Anyi Country to encourage the forces of temples and shrines to fight against the Buddha's enemy Roshi Masarao.

According to the original agreement with the Maori family, in fact, at this time, he should lead the army to join the Maori family and the believers in the Bingo country to jointly attack the border area between the Luo family's Ayi country, the Maori family's territory, and Bingo country.In the end, Lai Lian reneged on the agreement, and after An Yiguo organized an army of sufficient scale, he dispatched part of the army to stop the Luo family's pacification army stationed in Anyiguo. While continuing to develop the scale of the riots.And he led the rest of the army directly from the east of Anyi Kingdom, through the middle and west of Anyi Kingdom, until entering the eastern region of Zhou Fangguo.Along the way, he enlarged the scale of the riot, thereby blocking the pursuit of the Luo family's army, and at the same time marched towards the real destination of this time, Zhoufang Guomao City.

Yes, he intends to attack the army of the Luo family that surrounded the city, so as to liberate the recalcitrant forces of the Ouchi family in the city, and then use these forces as a guise to arouse more leaders who are still loyal to the Ouchi family Participating in the riots, thus setting off a movement against the Roche family consisting of temples, shrines and pro-Ouchi family forces.Now, it is not far from Marsh City, just pass the canyon in front of you and the village behind the canyon.You can reach the final destination.Now I see that there is an obstruction ahead.Naturally, the attack is about to begin immediately.

And here.Luo Shi Sasaburo and others also began to meet the enemy's attack helplessly. At this time, Luo Shi Sasaburo drew out the Taidao that had been hanging around his waist, and shouted loudly: "These thieves will not spare even their relatives in the same village. Where are they? Will let us go, kill, kill, there is still a way out." After finishing speaking, he rushed out first.

After being told by Roshi Sasaburo, those peasants and soldiers who were composed of villagers immediately came to their senses.What the village head said is quite right. When they quelled the mob monks and soldiers nearby, they saw that these thieves and mobs would not spare their relatives and friends. How could they spare their lives?Even if I surrender now, I will be decapitated by these mobs, and the relatives in their village are about to find danger. With such emotions, the peasants and soldiers immediately let out a low roar to strengthen their courage Get up, raise the weapon in your hand and kill the mobs and monk soldiers who are also coming ahead.

At this time, Xiao Qilang also had a look of enthusiasm on his face. The reckless he likes to see this kind of bloody scene the most, and rushes past Luo Shi Sasaburo with a dagger.His face was hideous, before the mob in front of him reacted.His Tai Dao had already been cut off, and he chopped off the opponent's helmet at once, and rolled to the ground with half of his head, and soon fell to the ground and died.

He didn't have time to wipe off the blood, he chuckled and shouted loudly: "Kill, kill me!" As he said, he waved his sword and rushed towards a young monk with ring scars.The peasants and soldiers in the rear saw that the general was so mighty, and their morale rose immediately. They each held their weapons, with Xiao Qilang as the center arrow, and killed the monks and mobs who seemed to be in a chaotic formation in a diamond formation.

Although Luo Shi Sasaburo was in the first battle, his blood boiled when he saw this kind of scene. After fighting hard, he uttered a loud roar, which made a monk standing in front of him tremble, and a gust of coolness passed by in an instant. The whole body, and then there was a bone-crushing sound coming from the chest.Taking advantage of the moment when the monks and soldiers paused, Luoshi Sasaburo seized the opportunity, and the sword had already slashed across the man's chest, cutting through the wide monk's robe, revealing the bamboo board that had been cut into two pieces inside, and the lower part drooped From the corner of his eye, he saw the monk soldier fell to the ground, did not die immediately, spat out blood and twitched non-stop.The blood on the sword was lightly brushed by the spring breeze, and soon solidified, turning into a shocking purple-brown color.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Amid the shouts of fighting for survival, everyone didn't stop, just passed over the dead and the undead, and quickly followed Xiao Qilang towards the enemy army in front of him.At this time, the mob and monk soldiers were also frightened by the opponents they regarded as lambs at first, and their progress was also slowed down.

Looking at the blocked enemy army, both Koshichiro and Roshi Sasaburo looked at the main general of the enemy army.They know very well that if they can't kill the enemy leader in a short time, they will be defeated by the opponent soon.Then you can't achieve the purpose of blocking the opponent.

At this time, Xiama Lai Lian'e, who was the main general, recovered from the surprise at the beginning.Apparently he was also amazed by the blocking army in front of him. Although he was resisted by some villages on the way forward, after being attacked by the army led by him, the leaders of these resisting villages The villagers will take the initiative to evacuate the village with their families, so that they can enter the village to rest. It can be said that compared with the past, the resistance of this army this time is much more tenacious.

Xia Jian Lai Lian, who had come to his senses, shouted loudly: "Kill them, kill those two bastards who rushed to the front! Believers of Yixiangzong, don't be afraid! Our troops are waiting for you!" But the enemy is several times stronger, so we must fight hard, and we must not let the enemy in front of us escape with one soldier."

In order to encourage his men to fight, Xiajian Lai Lian continued to shout: "speed up, the destination is ahead, kill these people in front, and you can get ten copper coins and two stones of grain as rewards for killing one person." There must be a brave man, the monks, soldiers, and mobs immediately shouted loudly, held up their weapons, stepped forward and shouted the slogan "Namo Amitabha", and rushed towards Luo Shi Zuozaburo, Xiao Qilang and others.

Seeing such a scene, Xia Jian Lai Lian immediately showed a smug smile on his face.But at this moment, a voice of "rumbling..." suddenly came from behind.
