Almost at the same moment, the other side of the team was also attacked, the sound of the blade piercing the body and the screams of the companions were so ear-piercing.

"Gun, get my gun!"

"Shoot with a bow!"

"So fast!"

"Over here! Over here!"

"Is it a wolf? Or a monster?"

"It's here with me!"

"No, there are two!"

"Damn, I can't see clearly..."

In just 1 minute, the team encountered five consecutive surprise attacks.

The attackers are hidden in the darkness, constantly wandering and plundering the lives of soldiers outside. Their claws are sharper than tigers, and their actions are faster than falcons. They have killed more than 30 people in a short period of time, and they have completely plunged the team into chaos. flustered.

"Don't panic!"

Jing Tian looked at the soldiers in chaos and was furious: "The other party hides their heads and shows their tails because they have no confidence. Don't be frightened by them!"

He picked up the long spear and swung it again and again, scattering the bonfires and flying them in all directions. Although many soldiers were injured by accident, they also expanded their field of vision and could vaguely see everything around them, including the attackers.

However, after seeing the opponent's figure, the soldiers became even more frightened.

Because the assailant was not a wild beast or a bandit, he was covered with pitch-black feathers, blood stains could be seen everywhere, and he was wearing a wide hat to cover half of his face, revealing only a long fiery red nose that could not be covered...

"It's a tengu! Youkai!"

Someone yelled hoarsely, and the soldiers suddenly thought of the undead monster they encountered during the day, and their fear was further deepened by the wanton killing just now.

"Ghost! Ghost!"

Another monster appeared this time, but it wasn't Kuroba's tengu, but a demon with two sharp blades and blue-faced fangs!

At the moment, no one was able to arouse the will to fight, and some even tried to escape, but they were nailed to the ground by the flying spear just two steps away.

"The deserter must die!"

Ida looked stern: "What are you afraid of! Even if it's a monster, I-"

Suddenly, Ida noticed a terrified look on the face of the soldier opposite him, and at the same time there was a short scream from behind.

not good -

As soon as he turned around, the sound of the wind followed, and the pitch-black "wings" immediately covered Ida's field of vision, and then a cold light flashed in the night, and there was a cold touch on his neck, followed by scorching blood gushing out !

"Uh, uh - uh!"

Clutching his throat weakly with both hands, Ida Shigejuro knelt on the ground, took one last look at the Tengu who killed him, and then collapsed completely...

"Dead...dead..."

"Master Ida is dead!"

"Ahhhh!"

"Run!"

"It's an evil spirit, it's an evil spirit!"

After the death of the main general, the soldiers no longer had the courage to face the two "evil ghosts". The attackers broke into the crowd and killed wantonly but did not dare to resist, and they scattered like birds and beasts.

However, the mountain road was difficult to walk. Even though many people escaped the hunting of the monsters, they stumbled and fell or even fell from a height. Less than half of the 150-person team escaped along the mountain road.

But before they had time to be happy, a fire suddenly lit up at the narrowest pass, and figures stood up in the fire, shouting slogans loudly, lifting stones and throwing them down...

In the end, there were still 20 people who escaped from the trail, but when someone was going to pursue them, the terrible "Tengu" appeared and stopped them.

"Wait a minute, it's still useful to keep them."

Lin Ye took off the bamboo hat borrowed from the villagers, the coir raincoat painted black, and a tengu mask for worshiping the gods.

"They will lead us to find Dororo."

Chapter 68 Chapter 58: Suddenly looking back—Who are you?

Using the dark night to harass, give full play to the advantages of individual combat power, and then intimidate with the image of ghosts and gods, Lin Ye and Hyakkimaru easily defeated this group of samurai, and the villagers relied on the terrain to set up an ambush. Let them all be wiped out.

In fact, Lin Ye had already discovered the scouts sent by the warriors, but he didn't alarm the enemy and let them leave, and then mobilized the villagers to complete the annihilation battle together.

The smoothness of the process is unbelievable, but there is nothing surprising about it. After all, the right time, place and people are all on Linye's side:

When it comes to time, Lin Ye and the others use the dark night to confuse each other, intentionally and unintentionally;

In terms of geographical advantages, the villagers living here are obviously more familiar with the terrain than the warriors;

In terms of harmony, there are villagers defending their homes on the one hand, and enemies who are demoralized and frightened on the other.

What's more, Lin Ye directly came to a wave of capture-the-flag operations, which completely defeated the opponent's will to resist.

——Therefore, it is natural to have such a result.

In the entire battle plan, the most difficult thing is not to kill the enemy but to "mobilize the villagers". It is not an easy task to win their trust and encourage them to rise up and resist.Fortunately, Lin Ye was "well-informed", so he casually borrowed the speech clips of the great people of later generations, and bluffed the blood of these simple farmers...

Seeing this, it is not incomprehensible, why in troubled times, those Taoists, low-ranking scholars, and courier boys who usually don't seem to be popular at all can pull themselves together with extremely poor acting skills and a simple slogan. Tens of thousands, tens of thousands of people rebelled!

The root cause is that farmers are desperate to survive, and only one person with courage is needed to light the flame!

In fact, Lin Ye is sometimes quite strange. It is obvious that those nobles, tyrants, officials, and princes can continue to be masters in peace and stability as long as they are a little more tolerant to the peasants and give them a hope of survival, but why they just turn a blind eye to it? , or even worse?

I really don't understand...

Of course, the dynasties have been entangled in this issue for thousands of years, and it is estimated that they will continue to be entangled. Lin Ye is naturally unable to study it thoroughly.

All he can do now is to study the problem in front of him-how to save Dororo?

It should be noted that since Dororo was not found among the warriors, she was probably taken away by Duobaowan.

"Sure enough, go directly to snatch people!"

——After thinking for no more than three seconds, Lin Ye came to a conclusion.

It is naturally impossible to directly attack the city stupidly. After all, Lin Ye is not a real heroic spirit or Wei Ming Yixin who is a one-man enemy.

But if he sneaks into the city, murders and sets fire... well, he is a chivalrous hero, then there is still a certain degree of certainty.

You know, this era is still far from the late Warring States period. The daimyos have not yet experienced large-scale mergers, and there are very few troops with more than 3000 troops. There are two to [-] people who are regional hegemons. It will not be until the end of the Warring States period that such as Oda, Only big princes like Takeda and Uesugi have tens of thousands of troops.

And it is impossible for all these thousands of people to be concentrated in the prefectural city. Most of them are troops from all over the country (powerful), and they have to wait for the war to be summoned from all directions—otherwise they cannot be supported.

For example, the troops that Duobaowan brought to chase Baikimaru were conscripted troops, not the elite of his father's direct line.

Even in a "powerful country" like Daigo, the resident troops usually guarding the lord's mansion are only a few hundred people!

Lin Ye and the others just want to save people, not to fight, they don't need to be tough, they just need to sneak in at night.

That night, Hayano and Hyakkimaru went back to the village and told Mio that he was going to rescue Dororo. He originally thought that Mio would be very happy, but unexpectedly, the girl behaved very melancholy .

"Dororo is indeed very pitiful, and I don't want her to be harmed, but... But if Mr. Lin Ye is to risk his life to save her..."

"Not that serious."

Lin Ye was a little moved, but he still comforted her and said, "We are just saving people, and we will try our best to avoid unnecessary fighting. Don't worry."

"really?"

"Of course, I will be able to bring Dororo back soon."

Lin Ye glanced at the blind luthier who was doing nothing in the distance: "This place is safe for the time being, that old man won't go with us, let him stay and protect you... Don't look at him as a blind man, he is still reliable at critical moments."

"Um……"

Mei Xu hesitated for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurried back to the house, and when she came back, she took a small cloth bag.

Lin Ye took it over and took a look, and there were more than a dozen oblate fruits inside: "This is... a persimmon?"

"The aunt next door gave it to me. It's too late to make dry food now, so please use this to satisfy your hunger for the time being."

Mio took out another pair of newly made straw sandals from her bosom, and said that a little embarrassedly.

"It's been done a long time ago...it's just that Master Linye never needed it."

Lin Ye looked down at the straw sandals on his feet that were almost rotten—he did as the Romans did. After he came to this world, he always wore straw sandals and clogs in order not to attract attention.

Because the clogs are inconvenient to move around, he wears more straw sandals during the battle, and the wear and tear should be serious, but he has not paid much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Mei Xu noticed this, and even prepared new shoes for him in advance.

"It was a great help, thank you, Mio." Lin Ye accepted the straw sandals under Mio's surprised gaze, and then looked at the two brats following behind Mio.

"Xiao Taro, you are older, you should take care of Yataro, understand?"

"Ok!"

The little boy nodded vigorously: "I understand, Brother Linye!"

After a brief order, Lin Ye didn't have much time to spend, after all, he still had to track down those deserters.

Soon he and Hyakkimaru rode on the abandoned horse of the samurai, steered the horse in a clumsy but unable to fall off position, and disappeared into the forest and night.

"Be safe..."

Mio looked at the back of Lin Ye leaving, with unresolved worries in her eyes, but finally restrained her emotions, and only slowly prayed for Lin Ye in her heart.

In this era, people always have to learn to adapt to parting, which is impossible.

Lin Ye wisely did not set any flag, and after several days of traveling, he tracked down the deserters all the way back to the country of Daigo, and it was the prefecture where the headquarters of the Daigo family was located.

——As Lin Ye expected.

Duobaowan really brought Dororo back to the base camp, which means that the little girl has become a bait at this time, waiting for Baiguiwan to take the bait...

By the way, after the dozen or so routs came back, they went directly to the lord's mansion to ask to see Duobaowan, probably to explain why there were only so few left in a team of 200 people.

I don't know if Duobao Wan can accept their explanation...

After all, it is daytime now, so Lin Ye did not sneak into the Lord's Mansion directly, but chose to wait until dark before acting.

Wearing bamboo hats, he and Hyakkimaru sat for a long time in a random place in the bustling market, silently waiting for the night to fall.

At first, I thought that there would be no more disturbances in this matter, but at a certain moment in the afternoon, under the dazzling sunlight, Hyakkimaru, which was like a puppet, suddenly raised its head, and stared at it with a pair of godless prosthetic eyes. somewhere in the crowd.

Seeing this, Lin Ye immediately became vigilant: Although Hyakkimaru does not have normal eyesight, he can see things that ordinary people cannot see. It must not be a passerby who makes him care so much, and it may have something to do with the enemy.

He also cast his gaze away, and what he saw was a man who was also wearing a bamboo hat, the upper half of his face was covered, his clothes were torn, and he looked like a ronin.

The person's perception was unexpectedly sharp, and he turned his head to look for the person who was watching him, and then the two of them met their eyes as a matter of course——

'Oops, I met my eyes! '

——A strange sense of déjà vu appeared, the moment the two looked at each other, they both realized that the other was a ruthless character not to be trifled with.

However, no matter how confident they were, they discovered in astonishment: The other party turned out to be an acquaintance?

"Lin Ye..." Uncle Ronin muttered the name, with a complicated expression but also a trace of relief.

Lin Ye was surprised: "No name!?"

Chapter 69 Chapter 59: Knowledge is Power

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Lin Ye."

In a teahouse, Lin Ye, Hyakkimaru, and Wuming sat together.

As the wealthiest place in Daigo Country, this city is relatively prosperous on the surface, not only has a large market, but also the look of passers-by on the street is obviously better than other places, and there are many merchants coming and going. There are even street performers performing juggling.

Although Lin and Ye are weird, they are not too conspicuous here, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.

"I was surprised too."

Lin Ye looked Wuming up and down, and also noticed that Zaotaro was not by his side, and had already vaguely guessed what happened.

He picked up the teacup and blew on it, took a sip slowly, and then asked seriously, "Where is Taro?"

"Well……"

Wuming didn't look at Lin Ye, but stared at the teacup in his hand with a pair of eyes. A tea stalk quietly floated up and became the focus of his sight.

"Zai Taro...Zai Taro, he...was taken away."
