"Not good!" Yu Qiuping was shocked when he saw this. He and Senke had become convenient, and they only had four or five guards around them. Honda Tadakatsu was sent back to Maple Leaf Mountain City by Yu Qiuping to deliver the order, and he did not follow him this time.
The dozen or so people around them would definitely not be able to defeat these ninjas in a head-on fight.
Suo Xingyu Qiuping and Mori Kacheng are both experienced warriors. They were not at all at a loss when encountering a sudden attack. Instead, they immediately abandoned their horses and ran towards a mountain peak where no ninjas were rushing. There were bushes near the mountain peak.
Surrounded by jungle, the road is narrow and it is very easy to lose track. When those ninjas saw Yu Qiuping and his party escaping to the peak, they did not impulsively try to search the mountain. Instead, they guarded the two only paths down the mountain and the surrounding areas.
After all, if they rashly search the mountain and disperse their people, they will give Yu Qiuping and Sen Kecheng a chance to escape. There is no need for them to rush to catch Yu Qiuping and Sen Kecheng, as long as they keep an eye on them and prevent them from escaping.
. Then as soon as the large troops dragged to Matsunaga's house arrive, they can start searching the mountain and arresting them.
At this moment, Yu Qiuping and Sen Kecheng finally found a safe cave to hide temporarily while looking for angles to observe the position of the pursuers.
"What on earth happened, father! Which ninjas are members of the Matsunaga family?" After all, Mori Kolong was still a dazed young man. He followed everyone here and there and still didn't fully understand the situation.
Sen Kecheng did not answer, but watched the pursuer's position closely. After Yu Qiuping signaled Sen Kelong to speak softly, he explained in a low voice: "Although it is not certain, there is a high probability. Because Kelong, look,
The position we are currently in is sandwiched between the troops of the Miyoshi family and the Matsunaga family. It is far away from the troops of my father and I, and it is very dangerous. This is the background. Matsunaga Hide was originally with us to see the terrain. Suddenly,
He left without saying goodbye, and then his troops were dispatched, which raised a lot of suspicion. Therefore, although we don’t know who those ninjas are, the highest probability is that they belong to the Matsunaga family."
Yu Qiuping watched Mori Kelong nod his head solemnly, and continued his analysis: "Moreover! If you think about it, the people who are most likely to attack my father and me now are either the Miyoshi family or the Matsunaga family. If someone from the Miyoshi family wants to
Attack us, and seeing that Matsunagahide's troops have been dispatched and are coming here, they will definitely think that they are reinforcements coming to rescue us. Then, these ninjas should take action immediately, why are they waiting at the foot of the mountain?"
"The reason why they waited at the foot of the mountain was because they were not in a hurry! They knew that the Matsunaga troops who were coming were friendly forces! So they were either members of the Matsunaga family; or they were members of the Miyoshi family, but they had already communicated with Matsunaga beforehand.
They have secretly agreed to attack us together! Therefore, as long as they keep an eye on us and prevent us from escaping, they can wait until the army searches the mountain!"
"That's it." Sen Kelong nodded in sudden realization and glanced at Yu Qiuping with great admiration - the latter could actually make so many inferences quickly in such a panic.
"Then what should we do now?" Senkolong asked in a low voice again, "Should we break out immediately! Otherwise, when the Matsunaga family's army arrives, it will be over."
"It's hard to say, because I don't know why Matsunaga Hide did this! He has already contacted the Miyoshi family and is preparing to betray our Oda family. He plans to kill me and your father and then attack the Oda family army. Or he has no intention.
Rebellious, just want to control me and your father to force us to achieve something
What conditions." Yu Qiuping frowned and thought hard, "It's hard to make a conclusion anyway."
"Hongye, you can't hesitate at this time." Mori Kacheng patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder, "We don't have time to speculate on Matsunagahide's thoughts. Time is not on our side. We must break out immediately. Otherwise, if we encounter something unexpected, we
All our troops are finished."
"But can it be done? There are more than forty people there?" Yu Qiuping whispered uneasily, "We only have 12 people, so the chances are bad!"
"Then we can only fight hard. Wait here until the Matsunaga family's troops arrive, and we will be completely finished." Mori Katsura shook his head and whispered firmly: "We have no other way to go."
After saying that, Sen Kecheng stood up slightly and prepared to lead the people to break out towards the intersection going down the mountain.
"Senior Sen, wait a minute!" Yu Qiuping was a little anxious when he saw this. He grabbed Sen Kecheng and whispered: "It's too difficult to force a breakout! Why don't you let me negotiate! In any case, it's better to capture alive than to kill.
Are we going to die? I'll go there in person and test out what Matsunagahide and the others are going to do! If Matsunagahide has rebelled, I will yell at the mountain! You break out immediately! If he has no intention of rebelling, we might as well talk to him.
Let’s try it!”
"Hongye, what are you thinking about? If the Matsunaga family really has murderous intentions, you will risk your life." Mori Kacheng lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, while pressing Yu Qiuping's shoulder with his left hand.
"It's better for me to die alone than for everyone to rush out and die together! Senior Mori, being brave is one thing, but you must also cherish your own life. Chang Ke, he has just entered the Yuanfu, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Rikimaru, Senmaru and the others
You're still young! Even for them, I wouldn't dare to act so recklessly!" However, Yu Qiuping was not persuaded by Sen Kecheng. Instead, he held Sen Kecheng's arm with his backhand and whispered: "Let me negotiate.
Come on! Only I am qualified to negotiate with Matsunaga Hide! If not, you can rush down again!"
Hearing Yu Qiuping mention the names of his youngest sons, Sen Kecheng was slightly moved. A faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he retorted in a low voice: "Shang'er, You'er hasn't yet entered Yuanfu.
Cen'er and Guang'er are still young, Hongye, how can you risk your life casually?"
"Because Mori-senpai, Kolon, Ryuko and my guards are all very important to me. In order to protect important people," Yu Qiuping paused, and suddenly remembered the relationship between him and Uchiha Aooka ten years ago.
Preach, "People can become very powerful."
"Your Highness..." Long Zi was stunned when he heard this, tears instantly filled his eyes, and he choked in a low voice: "Your Highness..."
"Is that so?" Sen Kecheng was startled for a moment and nodded slightly. He turned his head and glanced at Yu Qiuping, then at Sen Kelong, and whispered: "Hongye, I have a plan, which is better than yours."
good."
"Look, those ninjas are spread out. There are not many people on the two roads. There are only about 10 people on both roads." Sen Kecheng slightly poked his head and pointed at the ninjas scattered on the roads and bushes at the foot of the mountain.
them.
"We broke out in two ways and rushed out from two intersections at the same time. Those standing in the middle would lose sight of one thing and the other in an instant. They didn't know which direction was our real breakout direction, so they hesitated. We took the opportunity to rush out together."
"It seems possible..." Yu Qiuping nodded with some embarrassment. This method can kill the enemies that the ten of them need to face in a short time.
The time is reduced by about half, and the probability of breaking out is greatly increased. "It's just..."
"No, we don't have time to delay." Sen Kecheng shook his head and patted Yu Qiuping's shoulder firmly, "Just do it my way. We divided our troops into two groups and went to ambush near the intersection. Wait until I
Shout 'Retreat' as a signal, and we'll rush out together."
"Okay, Senior Sen." Yu Qiuping also understood that time was tight and did not shirk, "Then I will..."
"Wait a minute, Hongye." Sen Kecheng suddenly called out to Yu Qiuping before he stood up, "The guards around you are two fewer than mine. I'll send Kelong to your place."
"Isn't this... not good?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.
"What's the matter, don't you look down on my son's martial arts?" Sen Kecheng pretended to be angry when he heard this.
"No, no, no, how could it be! At least he is much better than me." Yu Qiuping waved his hands in a hurry.
"Then go quickly!" Sen Kecheng said as he pushed Sen Kelong to Yu Qiuping's side, and then led his guards to the mountain pass on the other side. In his
Before the figure disappeared into the bushes, Sen Kecheng suddenly turned his head, smiled at Yu Qiuping and Sen Kelong, and then left quickly.
"It's strange." Although the enemy was facing him, Yu Qiuping couldn't help but sneered, "Senior Sen laughed more times today than in the past few years."
·
Yu Qiuping took Ryuko, Mori Koron and three other guards to lurk behind a forest behind the intersection - a hundred meters away were the ninjas of the Matsunaga family. In order to monitor, they did not hide, but stood there in a big way.
From a high place with good visibility, Yu Qiuping and his party sneaked among the bushes and soon found their way behind a rock. This place was only a few dozen meters away from the pass that must be passed through. He did
With a few gestures, the guards and Sen Kelong immediately unsheathed their swords knowingly. Yu Qiuping himself also silently unsheathed Chidori, trying to calm his breathing.
This was not the first time he had experienced such a life-and-death situation. He was no longer as nervous as when he went out on the battlefield - he vaguely remembered the first time he encountered an enemy with a knife in the village of Tongzhajian more than ten years ago.
At that time, I was so scared that I couldn't even take a step.
He was calm, and everyone around him was also quiet. Yu Qiuping could only hear his heavy heartbeat and everyone's somewhat disordered and rapid breathing. Everyone was waiting silently - waiting for Sen Kecheng to send a signal, and then
Rush out together and fight to the death. Yu Qiuping hopes that this moment will come sooner, and hopes that this moment will never come.
This feeling is like the athletes squatting behind the starting line in a middle school track and field competition. The shout of "Everyone is on your desk" has sounded, and everyone has hunched up, waiting for the gunfire to come at any time. Each of them is worried
Their reactions were too slow, so they kept leaning forward, as if they could predict that the gunshot was about to sound. Their bodies were ready to go, but their hearts were uneasy. What a subtle and nervous mood it was - also
Usually it is extremely short, no more than 5 seconds, and the gunfire will sound - so people often have difficulty describing the feeling in the future, but it is deeply imprinted in their hearts. When you experience this scene again, that feeling
will emerge unconsciously.
