Chapter 425: Ambush
The moment he heard the gunshots sounded, Sugitani Shinjuba instinctively leaned over and found out that it was not him who was hit. A ninja on his left who was changing bullets was shot in the chest with a shot, and he fell down with a scream.
"So fast." Sugitani Shinzuo sighed secretly, poked his head out of a rock on a hillside and looked down. He saw a golden-eyed man hiding behind the carriage and changing bullets quickly, as if the shot was fired by him just now.
"Something is something, this is the archer you are talking about." Sugitani Junzuo smiled in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that this archer would have a few tricks to play with iron cannons!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Charlie raised his gun and aimed at him again. In a flash, the smoke of gunpowder rose again. Sugitani Shinjuba hurriedly pulled away. The projectile Charlie shot straight into the rock where he was hiding, smashing the rock several corners.
"It's getting more and more interesting." Junzuo Sugitani licked the corner of his mouth, took out his iron cannon from his back excitedly, and participated in the battle himself. He quickly started loading, then lit the fuse, poked out and glanced, and shot a shot in the full screen without aiming. Seeing this, Charlie hurriedly rolled around and avoided the projectile, and at the same time signaled Yu Qiuping and others to quickly escape.
Just in Yuqiuhei, Tadao Katsuka, Ryuko and other guards were about to take off the horse from the carriage. When they rode their horses and fled, iron cannons immediately opened fire at them. They were fine, but all the horses were shot. The horses moved violently because of the pain, and finally fell into a pool of blood powerlessly.
Yu Qiuping and others had no choice but to escape on foot, but there seemed to be a large number of iron cannon ninjas on Takano Mountain. Before they could run a few steps on the official road, two guards were shot and killed. Yu Qiuping saw that it was not a solution, so he had to hide in the valley side of Takano Mountain, where the pair of iron cannoners were blind spots.
Charlie fought and retreated at the end of the team. There seemed to be a very impressive iron gunner on the mountain. Charlie saw him several times, as if he was wearing gray clothes. Even if Charlie frequently changed the cover, he could always predict and shoot quickly.
"If he had been carrying a bow and arrow instead of an iron cannon, I would have died long ago." Charlie was secretly grateful in his heart, and seized every opportunity to fight back. With his accurate and fast shooting, four of Sugitani Shinjuba 6's subordinates were shot from the foot of the mountain by him.
"It's really interesting!" Sugitani Junzuo saw his subordinates being shot to death by Charlie, but he laughed instead of anger. He chased the mountain with excitement, "Doesn't you let your opponent run away easily!"
·
Yu Qiuping and the remaining guards retreated into the valley, about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, gunshots sounded again on the other side of the valley, and two more guards fell down in an instant.
"It's a bad thing!" Yu Qiuping saw at a glance that something was wrong. The shooting just now must have forced them into this valley. Now if you want to turn around and rush out, you have to risk the firepower of two people, so you have to rush into the mountains.
"Are you from the Sanhao family?" Yu Qiuping said in his heart that he was not good, "Did I see my traces? But if the Sanhao family saw my traces and wanted to assassinate me, why not solve the problem within the Sanhao family, but to drag it to Ji Yi?"
However, the assassinator obviously did not give Yu Qiuping much time to think, and the sound of iron cannon shooting continued to sound behind him. Yu Qiuping and the guards continued to escape along the valley to the mountains in a mess, and only Charlie had the opportunity to fight back.
Charlie runs a few steps every time, then finds a bunker to hide, completes loading and replacing the bullets quickly, then turns over and aims quickly, and shoots at the ninjas chasing the mountain. Until now, he has almost never shot empty. The bigger the Sugitani Shinjuba on the top of the mountain, and he is getting more and more active, and repeatedly shoots Yu Qiupi's guards. Charlie and Sugitani Shinjuba seem to be in a row. Every time Sugitani Shinjuba hits a guard, Charlie must shoot back and shoot a ninja of Sugitani Shinjuba. If Sugitani Shinjuba is aiming at Charlie, after Charlie avoids, he will shoot back and shoot at Sugitani Shinjuba, which will force Sugitani Shinjuba to danger.
"It's really interesting! It's interesting!" Sugitani Junzuo became more and more excited as he fought. He felt a little embarrassed. "It's just that so many of us besieged him as a snatcher, which is a bit unfair, and he can't use all the means!"
Along the way, everyone stumbled, and two guards were killed one after another. Yu Qiuping was left with only Tadao Tada, Ryuko, Charlie and three other guards. The iron gunners on the cliffs on both sides were still chasing them. Because there was a river in the middle of the valley, they were hit very smoothly and could not find a shelter to hide. Seven of them appeared a somewhat abandoned wooden house by the river in the valley. Before everyone could think, they rushed in immediately.
After hiding into the wooden house, Longzi immediately closed the wooden door with his back hand. Almost at the same moment, there were several loud "dongdong" sounds on the wooden door, with several bullet holes added. The pursuing ninjas shot at the wooden house for several rounds, but now that there was no effect, they stopped shooting, as if they were waiting for something.
"Is it finally safe?" Yu Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the gunshots, "Now we have to find a way to get out! We will definitely not be able to contact the main army here. Let's see if we can escape from the mountains and then find a way to take a detour back to Maple Leaf Mountain City."
Just as Yu Qiuping was thinking about a safe retreat route, Long Zi suddenly exclaimed: "Your Highness! Not good!"
"What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping was startled by Long Zi and turned around and looked, "What did you give birth?"
"Above! Above!" Longzi, who had just retracted his head from the window, pointed to the cliff in horror, "There are rolling stones and wood!"
Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly poked his head out of the window beside Longzi and looked up. He saw that on the cliff directly above the wooden house where they were, the people who attacked them used a large number of wooden wood and rolling stones to be hung above the wooden house, which could be smashed down at any time - smashing the wooden house and the people inside into powder.
"I'll go!" Yu Qiuping hurriedly pulled back, his mind blank in horror. He took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down, and analyzed the situation in front of him: "This is a planned attack. They had long wanted to ambush us in this small wooden house. If they didn't leave this wooden house, when the rolling stone wood on the cliff fell, we would all be finished. But if they forced out of the small house, they would be beaten into dice by the iron cannons on the cliffs on both sides."
"What should I do?" Just as Yu Qiuping was thinking hard and trying to figure out a way to get out immediately, a shout suddenly came from outside the wooden house.
·
"There are the red leaves of Yuqiu inside!" A greeting suddenly sounded not far from the door, which surprised everyone.
"The distance is very close, only three meters." Yu Qiuping immediately made a judgment based on his voice, and asked back: "My nameless junior, who are you?"
"Your uncle is Sugitani Shinjutsuko, the number one iron gunner of Kinki." Sugitani Shinjutsukotsuko replied without hesitation: "Don't spend time running away, even the birds in the forest can't escape my gun. Who are you?"
"Sumaiya Junjuba is from the Hexaki family, probably the leader of this group of people." Yu Qiuping asked out the key information with a provocation method, and at the same time lowered his voice: "If you can hold him hostage, you will have a chance to escape smoothly."
Yu Qiuping then made a gesture to Tadao Tada and Ryuko, and the two of them immediately moved to the door quietly and were ready to rush out at any time.
However, there were dozens of iron gunners on the cliff. The two of them were at great risk of rushing out. Yu Qiuping was reluctant to make up his mind whether to let them take Shanzhuan, Sugitani, hostage.
However, Sugitani Junjuba's next words shocked everyone present.
"Yuqiu Hongye, I don't have time to pay attention to you for the time being. I'm here to find your Southern Barbarian Archer!"
When everyone in the room heard this, they turned their eyes to Charlie, and Charlie also looked at the wooden door with confusion.
"You know very well now. There are rocks falling on your head and iron gunners around you. It's already a dead end." Sugitani Junzuo laughed a few times, then changed his tone and whispered in a low voice: "But your archer has something to do, and you can actually go back and forth with me. Just now, we have been hitting more people and hitting less people, and we can't feel like we can't kill you like this. It's a pity to meet a good opponent. It's a pity to not enjoy the experience of shooting you to death in a one-on-one shooting competition."
"I'll give you a chance to fight one-on-one, how about it?" Sugitani Shinjuba then expressed his invitation in a sarcastic tone, "You come out, we'll find a place to fight one-on-one with iron cannons. If you kill me, I'll let you go."
As soon as this was said, not only the iron gunners on the cliffs on both sides were in an uproar.
"Sir, what are you going to do? Don't forget the mission?" The iron gunners on the mountain shouted.
"Shut up!" Sugitani Junzuo yelled without hesitation, and immediately calmed the iron gunners, "I have been practicing marksmanship for so many years, and I want to kill the masters. What do you know! Execute my order. If the Southern Barbarian kills me, I will let the rain autumn red leaves go, do you hear it?"
"Sir, but..." Another ninja wanted to raise an objection. Sugitani Junsuko directly shot her backhand and crashed on the rock beside him, scaring the ninja so much that he couldn't say a word.
"Goro, you are now taking my order back to the ninja." Sugitani Junzuo shouted loudly to a subordinate, "If I die, Yuqiu Hongye will be killed by several of them in breach of contract, and you will kill all their families!"
The ninja called Goro nodded and almost left. At this moment, the ninjas on the cliff were completely depressed, and they knew that their leader could really do such a thing.
"How is it, are you relieved now?" Junzuko Sugitani put his hands on his waist and shouted at the cabin again.
"Your Highness, what should I do?" Long Zi lowered his voice and asked Yu Qiuping, "Do you still want to threaten him? Or..."
Yu Qiuping did not answer immediately, but turned his attention to Charlie. This matter should be chosen by Charlie himself.
Charlie looked resolute and did not hesitate. After saluting Yu Qiuping, he pushed open the wooden door and walked out.
If I don’t meet the battle, no one can escape. Even if he doesn’t want to fight me one-on-one, he just wants to lure me to death, but what’s the difference between this and being killed in a wooden house?
If I win and he happens to believe his words, everyone will survive.
Once you fight, you have the chance to survive. If you don’t fight, you will only die.
There is nothing to choose from, let alone being able to compete with someone with superb shooting skills is something that archers desire.
Without fear, he met the sky blue pupils with his excited eyes.
