Chapter 38 Killing Ninja

In the hazy moonlight, the visibility between the mountains and fields was not high. After Li Xiao saw the outfits of these people in front of him, he couldn't help but feel surprised, Ninja?

In this era, ninja dresses are indeed not as they are seen in movies. They are all dressed in black, and they are more dressed in dark blue, dark purple or brown.

The upper body and even the head of their clothes are covered with a soft lock curtain. The lock curtain can prevent cutting damage and has a certain protective effect. The surface of the ninja knife in their hands is painted with dye to prevent reflection in the darkness, while the face is uniformly wiped with six-foot hand.

The ninja knife is a blunt knife, with a length between the Tai Knife and the rib difference. It is not like a samurai sword that can be chopped, but is only used to stab. The ninja knife is more useful for assisting. For example, if you climb a city wall, you can stab the cracks into the rocks with your ninja knife and grab the blunt blade with your hands, so you can climb upwards without worrying about cutting your fingers.

In addition to ninjas, some ninjas also use ninjas that can be thrown and melee. These two are the main hand weapons commonly used by ninjas (warfare terms). In addition, ninjas are good at using bows and arrows and iron cannons. For example, among the legendary Sanada Toru Warriors, Kazuki Ryuro is proficient in iron cannons, while Yuri Kamanosuke is a master of using the Lock Scythe.

In addition to the main weapon, Ninja is also good at using strange hidden weapons, such as the unpredictable Shuriken, Kuna (can also be used as a dagger), hook rope scattering, blowing crossbows, etc.

Seeing that Shima Katsuki suddenly recognized him, Li Xiao nodded slightly to signal to him, but he didn't expect that at this time, the ninjas didn't even make a question, and directly threw Shuriken, Kumi and other hidden weapons at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao sneered, pushed the gun forward, alternated his hands, and spun into a gun face in front of his body, easily opening all hidden weapons.

These ninjas also saw that Li Xiao was difficult to deal with and gave each other a wink. At that moment, the three ninjas rushed towards Li Xiao from the left, center and right. It seemed that they wanted to solve Li Xiao first, and then go back to solve Shima Kazumam together.

Li Xiao moved his footsteps, arched up, and stabbed a ninja who was attacking him with a big gun. However, the other party was not slow to react. The moment the tip of the gun was approaching, the cat immediately squatted down and used the ninja knife to hold Li Xiao's attack upwards.

But how could Li Xiao let him dodge easily? He supported the gun bar with both hands and pressed it down hard, and flipped the gun head down and hit it hard. The ninja couldn't bear Li Xiao's huge force and could not support it. With a thump, he knelt on the ground on both knees.

If you attack another move, you can immediately take the life of this person, but at this time the attacks on both sides of the left and right had already arrived, and Li Xiao had to take back the gun and evade.

While Li Xiao was dodging, a hook rope flew out of the secret. After turning a few times, he just wrapped around Li Xiao's right leg. It turned out that the other party did not underestimate Li Xiao. In addition to Ming's three ninjas attacking head-on, another person was sent to launch a sneak attack.

Seeing the sneak attack succeed, a hint of joy flashed in the ninja's eyes. He grabbed the other end of the hook rope with both hands and pulled it hard. He believed that under this pull, it would be enough to trip Li Xiao, and then his companions could step forward and defeat the other party.

Unfortunately, what disappointed the other party was that no matter how hard he used, Li Xiao's body remained as motionless as a rock.

Li Xiao tied his horse tightly, his feet firmly nailed to the spot like a nail. A big gun blocked the attack of three ninjas on the other side, and he was at ease. After slamming the three of them, Li Xiao wrapped the tip of the gun at the ground with the tip of the gun, rolled it up and pulled it out with both hands.

"Get up." Li Xiao focused his arms and shouted.

The ninja who secretly attacked the ninja did not expect that Li Xiao would have such a method, but was pulled at Li Xiao by a hook rope. Li Xiao gently shot him backhand and directly stroked his throat. Then blood from the other party's neck splashed out, sprinkling several meters away.

Even though the three ninjas on the other side had performed many missions, they had never seen Li Xiao's perverted fighting style, and they were stunned for a moment. Li Xiao sneered, pulled out the rib gap between his waist, cut off the hook rope wrapped around his right leg, and then kicked the killed ninja off the cliff with one kick. It took a long time before the sound of hitting the ground came.

Seeing that Li Xiao was so cruel, the other party was a little afraid. At this time, Li Xiao threw the tip of the gun and rushed forward and attacked fiercely.

At this time, a shrill cry came from Katsumashima, who was besieged by the remaining five ninjas. It turned out that Katsumashimashimashi used his thick samurai sword to cut a ninja from his neck to his right shoulder in half.

In the blink of an eye, two ninjas died at the same time. Here in the mountains, there was another sound of weapons knocking, and occasionally, I saw the scene of Kuwai and Shuriken flying outwards from time to time.

It didn't last long. The ninjas of Iga were killed one by one. Except for the one who was kicked off the cliff by Li Xiao, there were eight ninjas left on the ground. They were better off when they were killed by Li Xiao. However, the ninjas killed by Shimakatsu were not completely complete.

Shima Katsuma Meng hurried forward to rescue his companion. The man was tied up with a rope and could not move for a moment. He was free from Shima Katsuma Meng's rescue.

"Thank you for your life-saving kindness. If it weren't for you, neither of us would be spared." Shima Shengmeng's companion expressed his gratitude to Li Xiao. Shima Shengmeng nodded, which was quite like a Chinese hero who was very grateful.

Li Xiao smiled and said that it might be okay, and asked them why they were attacked by ninjas.

This man did not hide anything and told the whole story. The other party turned out to be Suminu Takayasu, the lord of Suminuo Noda Castle in Mikawa Suminuo family.

In the third year of Echon, the year before the Battle of Kawaakashima, after the Imagawa family was defeated by the Oda family in the Battle of Tuosama, the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto died, and his son Imagawa Masaru succeeded to the throne. Due to the Battle of Tuosama, many important generals of the Imagawa family and the country were killed in battle, and the people were dissatisfied with their rule in Sankawa, and the people rioted one after another.

For example, Matsuhira Ieyasu (later Tokugawa Ieyasu) of Nishisan River took the lead in occupying the family's former leader Okazaki Castle and resigned, and then this rebellious wave blew from Nishisan River to Dongsan River.

In this rebellion called the Three Continents, the tycoons of Dongsanhe rose up to resist the Imakawa family's rule.

The lord of Noda Castle, Sugamaru Tatsuei, took this opportunity to raise an army to become independent, but he did not have the wisdom and luck of Matsuhei Ieyasu. The Noda Castle where he was located was surrounded by the Imakawa family's army and finally had to surrender to the Imakawa family again.

Later, Sugamaru Tachiyama was afraid of being assassinated, so he escaped from Noda Castle for refuge. As the legitimate son, Sugamaru Tachiyama also escaped, but he did not want to be separated from his father. On the way, Sugamaru Tachiyama was still lucky to meet his old friend Katsumoto Shima, and with his help, he escaped the pursuit. He decided not to go directly to Nishisan River, but to flee to Takeda's territory, and then take the road from here to return to Nishisan River to join Matsuhei Ieyasu."

When Li Xiao heard that Shima Katsumoto was not a subordinate of Sugamanuo Takayoshi, but was just doing his best to be a friend, he was willing to save him and escort him to Mikawa. He immediately showed great admiration and congratulations, and said tactfully how great it would be if he could be such a loyal subordinate.

Shima Shengmeng was stunned when he heard this, and without hesitation, he bowed and said, "Mr. Li Xiao, your martial arts is very admirable and has saved me. I often hear a Chinese saying that "a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water." If you don't dislike it, I am willing to make achievements for you under your command."

Li Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and then helped him up with both hands and promised some words of wealth and hardship.

Li Xiao now recruited Dao Sheng as his subordinate, and his salary must be given from his own salary.

Fortunately, Shima Katsumoto in front of him is not the Shima Katsumoto that Ishida Mitsunori would recruit for 15,000 Shizhixing in the future. He is just a ronin. He has just been out for a few years. Now he can be a formal samurai.

What's more, Li Xiao is not an unknown attack. He has defeated Kenshino Uesugi and has very strong personal martial arts. This is something that Shima Katsuma admires, and the grace of life-saving is a huge bargaining chip. In the end, he has experienced many years of traveling around the country, so Shima Katsuma Katsuma has no sensible obstacles and has become an alien.
