Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Immediately after the iron cannon pulled the trigger, a loud noise that was too loud to be ignored came from only 20 meters away from them.The horse neighed in fright, and its two front hooves stood up high - in an instant, there was another gunshot!

Saburo, who was still sitting on the horse and trying to control the horse, swayed and fell down like this! !

Such a sudden scene scared everyone into cardiac arrest.

"I'll take a look there!" Hashiba Hideyoshi who was following behind said decisively and loudly, got off his horse and galloped towards the place where the sound came from.He was small and quick-moving, and he ran close to the location of the gunshot in just a few breaths.

The man who had been hiding there had disappeared without a trace, only the blades of grass were still swaying due to his hasty retreat.But this man obviously also has the demeanor of a ninja, because Hashiba Hideyoshi just stared at the gradually calming grass leaves for a while, and judged that this was just a scam to confuse others' judgments.

The real direction where this Koka ninja who came to assassinate Oda Nobunaga fled...

Hashiba Hideyoshi snorted, like an ape climbing up a branch with a glance, making the illusion of climbing a height and looking far away.His straw sandals quietly rubbed against the branch twice, scraping off most of the dirt that had stuck to it.Then he jumped down and rushed back quickly with a scowling look, reporting his discovery loudly: "There are no footprints—it was made by the ninja."

The ranks of the Oda family had stagnated, and most of the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened.And Hengxing Ikeda, who was the closest to Saburo when the incident happened, got off his horse with a face full of panic, and held Saburo's hand tightly.When he saw that face, which was still the same as it was more than ten years ago, with his eyes slightly closed at this moment, his expression immediately became ferocious, like a ghost who cannibalize people immediately.

Maeda Toshiie was originally holding a gun. When he saw Saburo fell to the ground, he could hardly hold the gun steadily. He recovered in time and hooked the gun with his foot before hooking it back into his hand.He didn't even have the interest to fight with Narumasa Sasao anymore, the two of them were exactly the same vicious at this time, roaring and sending soldiers to search for those who dared to assassinate the governor of the Oda family.

Just when the very center of the team was already in chaos, the retainers looked terrible, and the assailant was nowhere to be found——

Saburo, who fell to the ground with a pale face, opened his eyes suddenly, slowly got up from the ground, and rubbed his head with his hands in distress: "Ah, I was shocked."

In fact, it was Ikeda Hengxing who was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground and said in surprise and joy: "...Your Highness!"

"It hurts to fall off the horse. I dozed off a little before, but now I'm fully awake." Saburo shook his head, "But, being attacked like this always feels like something more—"

He lazily said, "Something like 'Time Traveling Army'."

Most of the retainers present were those who had retreated back to Kyoto with Saburo Juqi, such as Ikeda Hengxing, and Maeda Toshiie.Therefore, although they don't understand how the "time retrograde army" exists, it does not prevent them from remembering the assassination crisis against their lord that they encountered just over half a month ago.

Ikeda Hengxing immediately drew out his knife and looked around vigilantly.And Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was the first runner-up in Kanazaki Palace and knew nothing about it, could only squint his eyes to hide the disappointment and anger in his eyes when he saw that Saburo was not even injured, and replaced it with surprise and nervousness, and quickly knelt down Beside Saburo, he asked repeatedly: "Is Your Highness really all right? There is also a 'time retrograde army', is it the ninja who came to assassinate you——"

Just when Hashiba Hideyoshi was in a hurry to express his concern to Saburo, there was a sudden commotion in the woods.Against the dark background of the shade of the tree, the faint white light that suddenly floats up is like a miracle that is about to appear.The white light seems to be a circle, but because it is horizontal, no one can see exactly what the circle is, or what is drawn inside.

The circle of white light only lasted for a few seconds, and then exploded in all directions, leaving only a little bit of light like fireflies that could not be noticed in daylight.In its original location, it is no longer a shade of weeds and wildflowers, but densely packed with people.

——Time Traveling Army.

This strange scene caused many soldiers who saw them to scream out in shock. The voice and scope of the whispering became louder and louder, and there were several speculations in the blink of an eye.Seeing that the time-traveling army actually appeared, Ikeda Hengxing calmed down instead, and said to the guards beside him in a deep voice: "Don't panic! Pass it on, this is just a cover-up of the Liujiao family ninja--it's frightening like this. look!"

It is probably because ninjas have long been rumored in the eyes of ordinary people to be omnipotent and omnipotent. Therefore, Hengxing Ikeda's nonsense explanation was quickly accepted by the soldiers, and the riots that were about to subside quickly.

Only Hashiba Hideyoshi, who used to be a spy, and his brother Hashiba Hidecho, who used to be a ninja, sneered at this—if the ninja’s blindfold can do this, then it will not be the one who can occupy an important position in this war-torn era. What about Oda, Takeda, and Asakura, but Liujiao, Tsutsui, Hosokawa, and Uesugi who have raised a large number of ninjas.

And... Hashiba Hideyoshi's face turned cold.

He found that this team, which Oda Nobunaga called the "time-traveling army", was quite similar to the reinforcements of the Asai Army that he had to meet when he had to fight desperately in Kanezaki.

Moreover, when he was in Shangluo, he asked himself to be the vanguard to attack Minami Omi, and he also saw these time-traveling soldiers armed with knives and wild samurai-could these really be the ninjas raised by the Liujiao family and born in Iga!

Hashiba Hideyoshi's expression changed suddenly.However, when everyone's attention was focused on these "time-traveling troops", no one cared about his expression. Even if they saw it, they might think that he was just like some soldiers, who was so magical The way he appeared was just astonishing.

After seeing the enemy under the shade of the tree clearly, Ikeda Hengxing and several other retainers who had seen the time-traveling army couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They were grateful from the bottom of their hearts that none of the enemies that appeared this time could cause panic among the soldiers. Ghost monster.

The number of "time retrospective army" densely crowded under the shade of the trees is between 20 and 30.Perhaps considering that this is the daytime when there are many onlookers, all the people who appeared this time looked like humans.Among them are the enemy swords that Saburo has seen, and the enemy swords that Hashiba Hideyoshi has seen.

After the enemy sword and the enemy sword, there are four new time-traveling troops.Three of them are tall men with spears in their hands and wearing armor. Their cheeks are much plump compared to the skeletal sword, and they carry large, snake-like ornaments on their backs. The armor on their bodies also looks hard and comfortable. stable.

They uniformly tore off the left sleeve, exposing the muscular left hand and left chest.There are no scars all over the body like Di Dadao, but the strong muscles look like they have been tempered.Soft white hair fell from their cheeks, with thick black at the bottom.Compared with Di Da Dao and Di Tai Dao with blank expressions and dull attitudes, although they also have light in their eyes-this is not obvious in daylight, but the light is not unconscious, but more like concrete Just like their eyesight, they are controlled by their own consciousness.

These gunmen—the enemy guns of the time-traveling army, looked at the Oda family's retainers and soldiers who were waiting in front of them, and their eyes finally fell on Saburo.They moved their lips, and even opened their mouths to speak: "—quick battle, yes. (Quick battle is the only way to do it.)"

"Yes, a sword. (There is a sword to pay for the spirit of mourning.)"

"Nobunaga, here. (Oda Nobunaga is here.)"

They seem to be able to speak only a few simple words, and their voices are extremely hoarse. Just listening to them makes people worry whether their vocal cords will break due to being too dry.The enemy guns exchanged information with each other, and finally turned their attention to the last enemy naginata.

Compared with any time-traveling army here, the attire of the enemy naginata can be regarded as the most normal.He was wearing a safari suit and a black hat. The unlined jacket and hakama were both dark in color, and he wore a strange, lumpy pendant around his neck.His long, jet-black hair fell down from the back of his head, and his bangs were too long to cover most of his face, except for his bright eyes—literally.

Holding a naginata in both hands, the enemy naginata saw Oda Nobunaga surrounded by his retainers in the middle at a glance, and ordered calmly: "In the name of 'ninja', kill Oda Nobunaga."

It seems long, but in fact, it was only 2 minutes from the arrival of the time-traveling army, the confirmation of the information by the enemy gun, and the order from the enemy naginata.Then the enemy naginata waved the naginata in his hand, and rushed towards Saburo in the first place!

In the case of leading a large army, if the enemy naginata can still be approached, even without retainers, the soldiers of the Oda family will be ready to apologize.Therefore, before the enemy naginata approached, the soldiers on both sides rushed up first, drove their horses and stabbed at the enemy naginata with guns.

The naginata doesn't even have defense.He directly met the soldiers who were encircling him, and at the moment when the tip of the gun was stabbing at various parts of his body, he suddenly swung the naginata.Some soldiers who sensed something was wrong reined in their horses urgently, but the tip of the spear had already been cut off. What's more, the tip of the spear broke directly in the middle, showing the amazing sharpness of the body in the hands of the enemy naginata.

Because the guns are generally long and the mountain roads are heavy, although the soldiers showed a posture of encircling, they did not really get close to the enemy naginata, so it was only the guns that were damaged, and no one was hurt.Just when the soldiers in front were about to withdraw to make room for soldiers with intact weapons, Di Naginata leaped impatiently, stepping on a soldier's horse's head to borrow strength, and slashed straight down towards Saburo's position!

Behind him, Di Gun, Di Tai Dao and Di Da Dao also rushed over aggressively.The enemy's knife rushed to the front, and to this group of soldiers on horseback blocking them, they just swung a few knives in a daze, and the soldiers' bodies were split apart immediately, and the horse's head was cut off with just a groan, blood from horses and blood from people All over the place.The enemy's gun was even more powerful. He even stepped on his companion to borrow strength, and the silver tip pierced the chests of several people in succession. the way.

The mountain road is really too narrow.Originally, Qiancao Ridge was chosen because it was expected to be narrow and difficult to ambush.But this narrowness meant that the army had to reduce the number of columns and increase the number of rows.In this way, when the army is attacked at a certain point, it is difficult to rescue.

In other words, no one expected that these "time retrograde army" with excellent martial arts in the name of "ninja" would emerge.

The naginata failed to land on Saburo.Maeda Toshiie raised his spear horizontally, the tip of the spear pressed against the pole of the naginata, and pushed the naginata and its body back a step with a sudden force.The general with a long face only felt that his mouth was numb, but his eyes were already full of fighting spirit, and he proudly stood in front of Saburo: "Speak wild words! If you want to kill Your Highness, you must pass me first!"

Sasa Naruma, who was a step behind, immediately showed a disgusted expression: "Oh, don't talk too much. Anyone who dares to attack His Highness, let it be my credit!"

Saying so, Narumasa Sasao charged at the enemy naginata with a sword in hand.

Protected by two tiger generals, Saburo, who is extremely valuable both in terms of status and status, looked relaxed from the beginning to the end.

He even had the leisure to say to the enemy naginata: "Hey, it seems that you are targeting me - did I offend you?"

The enemy naginata just easily dealt with the siege of the two generals.

Just when Saburo thought he would not get an answer—nor did he think that he would get an answer, he suddenly replied: "Probably because of your being 'Oda Nobunaga'."

"There is no other way, because I have to be Nobunaga."

Saburo didn't feel threatened at all, he just scratched the back of his head and replied in a helpless tone.

Then he poked the backs of Narumasa Sasasa and Toshiie Maeda, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry about these people, don't cause insignificant casualties - after all, there are special troops to deal with them, and they have to perform their duties... ...that's pretty much what it means."

He announced this way: "The first unit joins Ishikirimaru, Izumi Mori Kanesada, and goes out. The second unit, Hotaru Maru, Umaru, Kokumaru Toshiro, Naruko, and captain Kohomaru—out!"

Driving all the way to the rear of the team, the driver who transported the supplies only felt that the horses in front of him suddenly shook their spirits, as if the weight of the cart had lightened a lot, and even their footsteps became brisker, and their speed suddenly increased.He had to pull the reins to maintain his original speed.

What he couldn't see was that after receiving the order to go out, the sword man who had been staying in the car suddenly disappeared.

In the next second, the enemy naginata that was holding the main body of the naginata to fight against the two generals of the Oda family flew out as if being hit hard by something! !

"Keep going—Shuzhumaru and Xiaohumaru must work harder, don't let them hurt anyone." Saying this to the man with the sword that no one could see, Saburo drove his horse forward.
