Chapter 216 215. The manor fell
After riding on the water of Longquan River, the speed of the ferry was faster than that of a horse.
The [Ship Driving] skill Lan En acquired from Bernie is not even enough, because the Oriden hunter who has been living on the lake has no experience in swimming in this kind of river.
It is still Kotaro among his subordinates. Because he has lived near Longquan River for generations, he has practiced the craft of rapid boating.
He avoided the shoals and strange rocks along the way with ease.
According to him, before the situation in Ashina Country was not so bad, his family also had a ferry.
However, as the blockade of Ashina by the imperial government became more and more severe, the flow of people crossing the river became increasingly sparse, and it was gradually no longer possible to support the family's expenses.
A group of people were drifting in the Longquan River. The sky was getting darker and everyone's hearts were getting heavier and heavier.
Because as the sun's light gradually fades, the direction of Pingtian Village emits a warm orange-red light from the ground to the sky.
In this era, this can only represent one situation-large area fire!
Kotaro's actions suddenly became more violent.
He has not married yet, only one mother still lives in the castle town of Hiratazhuang. If something happens
The ferry will soon approach Hiratazhuang.
While passing by a raised shoal in the center of the river, Lan En's ears swayed slightly, and then he frowned and looked there.
But on the shoal in the center of the river, there was only an old jar that was abandoned by someone and washed up by the current.
"Did you hear anything?"
Lan En asked the Rongrants around him.
The person in question frowned and tried to get closer to Lan En.
“What did you say?”
The witcher opened his mouth, then shook his head.
Just now, he seemed to hear a strange and gentle voice calling him over to do some business.
The water flow in this section of Longquan River is fast and loud, and the sound is so rumbling that it can even cover the words of people around you.
Even a demon hunter's hearing would not be able to pick up the sound on the shoal more than ten meters away in such a noisy environment.
A supernatural power similar to magic?
Lan En isn’t sure, but he doesn’t dare to underestimate it either.
Although so far, he has only seen humans' in-depth exploration of martial arts in this world. He had never seen many supernatural phenomena.
But after passing through Aria's world, he would not easily conclude that it did not exist.
"No, I heard wrong, get ready to go ashore."
To appease the somewhat panicked Ronin group, Lan En increased his tone and issued the order.
Not far away, the gate of Pingtianzhuang when I came out in the morning is now without guards.
Many ferries are crowded on the beach next to the wooden bridge at the entrance.
In the darkness, there were faint light spots of torches flickering.
It's going to rain tonight, and sometimes a shrill thunder flashes suddenly in the sky, briefly illuminating the world.
The witcher's cat eyes glimpsed the scene at the gate at this moment.
The gate is still strong and there are no signs of damage, and there are no blood stains or knife marks from the combatants fighting here.
The gate of Pingtian Manor was unprotected from these intruders from the beginning!
When the organizational system is not strict enough, as long as the person in charge of the defense system slightly changes the shift time, a short gap can be created.
In other words, the person who can create such a gap has a high status in Hiratazhuang. I just don’t know which of the people present there was when I went to see Yuzi.
Most of the armed forces in Zhuangzi are now following the main force of Ashina to the frontal battlefield against the inner government army.
And if the Hirata family falls again at this moment, Lan En's mouth twitches.
It is rare in the world for an army to win despite being attacked from both sides.
Once Ashina loses and lets the inner government march in, it is not surprising that he will be killed by the inner government army. Based on his limited knowledge during this period, Lan En made a little guess about the possible future situation. But none of them are optimistic.
But if this unoptimistic scenario does not become a reality, the Hirata family must hold on!
"Kotaro, don't stop. Rush directly to the beach." Lan En patted Kotaro's shoulder with his broad palm.
"There are only five or six people guarding the gate, kill them in the shortest possible time!"
"Oh!"*N
The ronin mustered up their courage and grabbed their weapons. Their eyes already revealed the ferocity of being ready to fight.
The wooden bottom of the ferry slid onto the muddy beach and collided with the gravel, making a "Carrara" sound.
The six bandits occupying the gate of Pingtian Village were complaining that they had no chance to go to the village and plunder.
But then, the person among them who was standing near the door suddenly had his head jerked back as if he had been punched.
Then the body lost its ability to balance and adjust. The muscles suddenly tightened and the board straightened, then fell backwards.
His brain had been pierced by the projectile projected from Lan En's arm armor just now.
The surrounding bandits didn’t even have time to react.
Because the visibility is too low for ordinary people, this kind of attack reaction is often seen when being shot directly by a heavy blunt weapon on the battlefield.
But now there are no outsiders around, so where are the heavy blunt weapons?
Pictures that violate common sense can temporarily confuse people's brains.
Although it was only a few seconds, it was still enough for Kotaro to stabilize the boat on the beach.
When the bandits reacted, they were ready to shout 'enemy attack' into the manor, but the wolf-like gangsters led by Lan En had already rushed directly from the beach to the wooden bridge!
"Nishiuchi!"
Both sides are veterans skilled in fighting, and as soon as they met, they used very ferocious roars as a shock.
Then the cold blades slashed at each other, or collided with the blades, creating sparks. Or go directly into the meat and sprinkle blood.
Lan En arranged the candidates for the Ronin assault on the ship, as well as their opponents.
So as soon as they went into battle, the two spearmen directly relied on the length and agility of their spears to kill two bandits holding two-handed axes.
A spear thrust is faster than a katana slash, let alone a two-handed axe.
The two bandits' axes hadn't even swung half a circle, but there was already a direct connection between their bellies and their backs.
The rest is almost the same. In order to avoid being noticed by the enemies in the manor, Lan En tried his best to shorten the combat time to the shortest possible time.
He used his observation skills to set up opponents for each Ronin that could end the game the fastest.
So the Ronin group, whose numbers were not that big apart, actually ended the attack on the bandits at the gate within five seconds of the start of the battle.
Everything was going according to plan, Lan En didn't even look behind him.
His palm completely grasped the neck of a bandit, and with a 'click' sound, the other person collapsed completely.
Lan En slightly pushed the closed door of the flat farm and found that the door bolt had been locked from the inside.
With his extraordinary hearing, the sounds in the manor were still noisy.
The clash of swords, the ignition of muskets, the fighting and shouting
He breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that at least he didn't rush back until it was irreversible.
Just when Lan En was thinking about how to lead people into the manor, the wanderers on the wooden bridge suddenly came over to report.
"Sir, we found a ninja who still has breath."
"Ninja?" The demon hunter frowned, "Take me to see him."
