Oura looked back and saw Kanbei Kobata not far away, sneering and taking back his chain sword.
I saw that the majestic Mizuno Katsukuma just now had his head penetrated, and a big hole was stabbed in the back of his neck by Kohata Kanbei's iron chain knife. His eyes full of ferocious energy had become dim, but
His body still stood and refused to fall.
Kobata Kanbei quickly came up to him and gently knocked Mizuno Katsukuma down like a piece of rotten wood scorched by lightning.
"Thank you, if it weren't for you I would have died here," Oura said while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Without saying a word, Kobata kicked the body of Mizuno Katsukuma with his feet. After seeing that it really didn't move, he slowly put away the weapon: "Why are you so polite! Your politeness makes me understand. Is it necessary?"
"
Then Du Fei hurried over with a large group of cavalry guards. When he saw the few Maori troops that had been killed, he felt very proud: Now An Yiguo could be honest for a while!
Du Fei suddenly saw several people in gorgeous clothes being escorted by a group of soldiers walking past him. He quickly asked: "Are they the captured Maori generals? Let them all name themselves."
"Your Highness, these guys have tougher mouths than ducks, and they don't even say their own names!" Several soldiers complained: "Your Highness, these guys are so stubborn, it's better to kill them with one blow!"
"Asshole! How do you teach His Highness how to do things?" the guard behind Du Fei angrily yelled, and went up to give the talkative pawn a whip.
When Du Fei saw a young general among the prisoners, he seemed extremely unconvinced and looked at him with contempt. This man was Toshio Nagano.
He suddenly became interested, rode up to the captured enemy general, and asked calmly: "You have been defeated by me, why are you still unconvinced?"
"You are hurting people with hidden arrows!" Toshio Nagano looked extremely angry: "If it were a battle between open swords and open guns, that guy is definitely not my opponent!" After he finished speaking, he glared at Kohata Kanbei next to him.
"Haha, Xiaoban, is he talking about you?" Du Fei asked with interest: "You seem to have not gained the respect of your opponent. What should you do?"
"Hmph! Lord! Then I will fight him again!" Kobata Kanbei said, holding the knife on his back with one hand, and shouted to the soldier: "Let that man go!"
After hearing this, the soldiers looked at Du Fei hesitantly. Du Fei frowned slightly, but still waved his hand.
The soldiers then carefully released Nagano Toshio, who was tied like a rice dumpling. Nagano Toshio turned his tied and numb wrists and said: "You will regret it if you let me go!"
"You will regret it if you challenge me again!" Xiaoban refused to give in! He was full of confidence in his own kung fu. Since he followed Du Fei, he has continued to practice and spent high prices to buy the secret books of various ninjas and study them carefully.
Research shows that his ninjutsu and martial arts are far from what they were back then! It can be said that he is almost at the level of a jounin.
Du Fei immediately said: "Boy! If you can defeat Xiaoban, I will release you immediately!"
He then said to the guard beside him: "Give him a weapon!"
"If my victory can buy a person's freedom, I hope you can release my friend Qing Yejun!" Nagano Toshio said unexpectedly after taking the sword handed by Du Fei's guard.
"It's true that love and justice are important." Du Fei nodded in agreement, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to retreat one after another to make way for an open space for the two of them.
Kobata Kanbei shook his sword in threats, and provocatively said: "Look at the sword! Look at the sword! Keep your eyes wide open!"
Following his teasing, the soldiers watching the battle all burst into laughter. The other soldiers cleaning the battlefield also gathered to watch the fun.
At this time, the ninjas under Kohata Kanbei shouted loudly: "Come on, mentor! Cut him down with one move!"
"I hope you can survive two rounds this time!" Kobata Kanbei surrounded Nagano Toshio while continuing to provoke Nagano Toshio's emotions, hoping that he would be furious and rush over regardless of the consequences.
But at this time, Nagano Toshio was extremely calm! He knew in his heart that Kobata's martial arts skills were much better than his, but at this time he had no way out, because what he was fighting for was not his own freedom, but his good friend Qingye

Kiyono must be allowed to escape! Nagano Toshio had only one thought in his mind at this time.
At this time, Nagano Toshio held the sword in his hand tightly, and his eyes followed the movement of Kanbei Kobata like a hunting eagle.
Suddenly Kanbei Kobata swerved! He quickly approached Toshio Nagano. Before the blades of the two sides came into contact, he suddenly changed his move and swung the blade towards Nagano Toshio's knee!
Nagano Toshio was caught off guard and could only take a step back to avoid Kohata's blade. But at this time, Kohata gained the upper hand with one move and then struck at him with a series of moves! His speed with the sword was much faster than Nagano Toshio's.
Within a few rounds, Toshio Nagano received several thin bloody cuts on his body.
Oura Nobubu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw that Nagano Toshio was completely defeated. He shook his head and seemed a little disappointed: "Hey, it looks like this young man is going to lose."
"Is it too early to draw a conclusion now?" Du Fei frowned slightly and said, "Look further, I think this young man has a chance!"
At this time, Nagano Toshio had gradually adapted to Kobata Kanbei's speed and the trajectory of the sword. After another round, Kobata Kanbei's blade did not touch his body even once!
"Not bad, boy! You learn very quickly!" Kobata Kanbei couldn't help but get even more excited. The reason why he showed mercy to this young man on the battlefield was because he felt that he had a unique aura and vitality. Kobata felt that he had a unique aura and vitality.
If he can be recruited into our family, he might grow into a man of his own!
At this time, Nagano Toshio began to tentatively fight back against Kohata! He was not afraid of Kohata's lightning-fast sword moves, and rushed forward to face these dazzling sword flowers!
I saw the two people's blades constantly colliding, emitting a series of dazzling sparks and harsh sounds of metal friction. Nagano Toshio, who was still cowering and passively beaten just now, actually stimulated his potential and survival desire in times of crisis.
**, and for a moment, it was inextricably linked with Kanbei Kobata!
But Kanbei Obata still relied on his superb martial arts to gain the upper hand. He held the sword at his waist and then spun it quickly! Nagano Toshio was shocked by his strange moves and hurriedly waved his sword to resist.
Just listen to the endless sound of weapons clashing!
Nagano Toshio only felt that his wrist was being hit by an increasing force, and he was gradually losing consciousness! His steps began to become a little messy, and his breathing was even a little unsmooth.
Kobata Kanbei's body rotated faster and faster, and the force on his blade became more and more domineering! Suddenly he spun high and jumped up! A flying side attack actually knocked the sword out of Nagano Toshio's hand.
out!
I saw the sword that came out of my hand stabbing Du Fei impartially and unexpectedly! The soldiers on both sides suddenly screamed!
Unexpectedly, Du Fei gently used the wooden hachiman fan in his hand, and the sword deviated from the track and was inserted diagonally on the ground.
"Oh————" Everyone was shocked.
Du Fei, however, disagreed. He was still paying attention to the battle between the two. He saw Toshio Nagano decisively hugged Kanbei Kobata's waist after losing his sword, and at the same time, he gave a sharp elbow!
On the numb spot on Xiaobata’s elbow!
Kobata Kanbei suddenly felt his arm go numb! The sword couldn't help but fall to the ground! He was also knocked back by Nagano Toshio's forward momentum!
Suddenly he hit a tree. At this time, Xiaobata had a point of support to exert his strength. He slammed his knee on the abdomen of Toshio Nagano, who was firmly hugging his waist!
Nagano Shun felt a sharp pain coming! It was as if his internal organs were about to burst! But he still hugged Kobata tightly, because he knew that although Kobata had lost his sword now, he must have other weapons on his body.
Not to mention anything else, just a concealed weapon can easily kill him who is unarmed.
So Nagano Toshio always held him firmly with his own hands and pushed his head against Kobata's abdomen!
At this time, Xiaobata also experienced the feeling of being hit hard in the abdomen, but his ability to withstand pain was obviously much stronger than Nagano Toshio. He made a fist with his hands and slammed down!
Nagano Toshio's back was hit hard one after another by Kohata's closed fist! Blood even flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he still didn't let go of Kohata. Instead, he pushed harder with his head towards Kohata who was leaning against the big tree.
!At the same time, he also used his hands that hugged Kobata's waist to strike Kobata's lower back from time to time! The big tree they were leaning against began to tremble! The dead branches on the tree kept falling like snow.
.
Suddenly, Obata seized the opportunity of Nagano to hit her lower back and twisted her body violently! She grabbed Hideo Nagano's hair with both hands and swung it violently!
Nagano Hideo was completely thrown out! His physical strength and endurance reached the limit. When his body fell heavily to the ground, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
"Your Highness! Now he loses again!" Oura Weixin looked at Du Fei with some pride, and began to regret why he didn't take the gamble.
Du Fei looked at Kohata Kanbei who looked inquiring and said calmly: "Don't kill him. If he wakes up, bring him to see me!"
"Yes!" Kobata Kanbei seemed a little excited. He felt that he had unearthed a piece of uncut jade.
Du Fei looked up at the flocks of crows wandering in the sky, and whispered to the captain of the guard: "Send my order to bury the enemy's corpses as well."
Two people, Terumoto Mori and Takashi Anado, were lucky enough to escape. They finally escaped from the heavy siege of Du Fei's army with the desperate efforts of their servants.
When the two returned to Yoshida Koriyama Castle, there were less than twenty people left around them.
"This battle has cost my Maori family ten years of management!" Maori Terumoto lowered his head in shame and entered the city. Facing the greetings of his retainers and concubines, he could not even raise his head.
At this time, the disgraced Anado Takashi arrived at the gate of the city, but did not go in.
Being immersed in the frustration of defeat, Mouri Terumoto didn't pay attention. He was walking slowly forward at his own discretion. Suddenly, he heard the soldiers in the rear suddenly shouted loudly: "Anato-sama! Anato-sama! What are you doing?"
Mouri Terumoto suddenly had an ominous premonition! He jumped off his horse in panic and ran towards the back of the team.
He saw that Anato Takashi, who had been walking side by side with him just now, was kneeling on the ground, with his upper body naked, and a sharp awl was inserted into his abdomen.
Seeing the grief-stricken Mouri Terumoto, Anado Takashi raised his head with difficulty: "Your Highness's defeat in this battle was all due to my poor command and it has nothing to do with you!"
But when he tried his best to spit out the last few words, a large stream of blood suddenly spurted out from his opened abdomen!
"Anado Takashi————!" Mouri Terumoto was so ashamed that he couldn't say a word. But in his heart he couldn't help shouting: "It's all me! If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have ended up like this.
!You are taking the responsibility for me! You are so stupid!"
At this time, the other two important ministers of the Mori family, namely Mori Terumoto's younger brothers Yoshikawa early spring and Kobayakawa Takakage, also came after hearing the news. (The two inherited the Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa family businesses respectively, so they changed their identities)
"Brother! You're okay! We came right away when we heard the news about your defeat in the Shikoku war. You really wanted to attack Shikoku. Why didn't you inform us?" The burly Yoshikawa early spring said impatiently.
Next to him were the delicate-looking third son of Moto Moto, and Kobayakawa Takakage, Moto Terumoto's third brother, sighed and said: "Brother must be worried about the defense of the territory and is afraid that the wild monkeys from Kinki will attack, but he should at least tell us."
"I'm ashamed that I didn't want to alarm you. Your territorial defense tasks are also very heavy. Enemies from Kinki and Kyushu may take advantage of the situation and sneak in at any time. I didn't expect that Du Fei is really capable. This time it was me who discredited the Maori family." Terumoto Maori
His face was gloomy and his voice was unusually calm, but his heart was in turmoil at this moment.
While the elders of the Mori family were exhausted mentally and physically dealing with military affairs, Yoshikawa Kyouke and others in Kinki were leisurely hanging out with geishas in an izakaya and getting drunk.
"Brother, have you heard?" Yoshikawa Hiroie, whose eyes were bloodshot after drinking, said, smelling of alcohol: "It seems that my uncle was defeated in the Shikoku War and was almost captured. It's really unexpected!"
"Humph! I knew it!" Yoshikawa Keike was indignant after hearing this: "What role did the so-called young talent they talked about play? I bet he didn't even see what the enemy looked like!"
"My spies inquired and found out that Kodama Yuei didn't disembark with his uncle and the others in the end, but just waited on the ship! It's really irritating! Who wouldn't wait like this? Any one of us would be better than him
Strong! Humph! Just return that kind of thing to the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy? Bah! Bah!"
Kumagai Toshinao was most hostile to Kodama Yuuei. His father Kumagai Nobuhiro, as a veteran military commander, was ranked lower than his peers like Kodama Yuei, which made him feel quite unhappy.
But at this time, Yoshikawa Kyoue was stunned because he saw a familiar and shy face appear in front of him.
He then yelled angrily: "Who called him here? Who?!"
"I am the boss." I saw Toshio Kumagai touching the back of his head and whispering: "He is the one who keeps pestering me. If I don't tell him, he will really tuck himself in my bed and not leave."
"Hahaha! Isn't that good? Toshi Nao, aren't you not married yet? Hideaki Kobayakawa's appearance is also a sign!" Hiroie Yoshikawa next to him immediately became excited and said with a smirk on his face.
"Hey, joking has to be serious!" Toshihiro Kumagai lowered his head and muttered dissatisfiedly: "That's you. If it had been anyone else, I would have made him pee."
