As soon as Qingdeng grabbed the commander with his front legs, he suddenly felt that the world in front of him suddenly opened up - it turned out that they were the remaining rebel cavalry, who finally could not withstand the pressure of death and fled for their lives.

Although Qingto and Sanako's offensive was very fierce, they only killed about twenty people in total, accounting for only one-fifth of the opponent's total.

However, such casualties were enough to bring the mob to collapse.

This kind of army was formed temporarily and was unwilling to fight without giving whips or generous rewards. Don't expect them to have any firm will.

The unstoppable "Hachiman Daimyojin" and the unmatched bravery of the "Giantess" have already brought their morale to a freezing point.

[Note: Hachiman Daimyojin is the patron saint of Genji and the god of bows and arrows]

Seeing that even the commander was captured alive, what little fighting spirit they had left suddenly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, they were running around, scurrying around, using their own actions to show Qingdeng and Sanazi what it means to "run like a wolf and a hog to rush forward" and what it means to "throw away their helmet and armor". After a while, they were all gone.

The bodies around Qingden and Sanako returned to tranquility.

Hundreds of cavalrymen, under the attack of just two people, were easily torn into pieces and defeated like butter with a hot knife... Unless they saw it with their own eyes, ordinary people would never believe this kind of joke.

plot.

However, for Qingdeng, such scenes are commonplace.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!"

Because the adrenaline had not faded away, the commander who was clamped under his left armpit by Qingdeng was still very energetic and energetic.

He struggled desperately, trying to escape from Qingdeng's iron-like arms.

Qingden didn't talk nonsense. He didn't even look at him and said to Sanako without sadness or joy:

"Sanako, shut this guy up."

The posture of this man is quite funny, with his butt facing the cow's head of Carrot and his head pointing towards Carrot's cow's butt.

At first glance, Qingdeng looks like he has an Ansai waist drum tied around his waist... except that this "drum" is a dirty butt.

This posture made it difficult for Qingto to shut up this guy's mouth - because it was difficult for his right hand to touch this guy's head - so he gave this task to Sanako.

Sanako was also happy.

She directly picked up the naginata in her hand and hit the man on the forehead with the back of the blade.

The force, neither light nor heavy... was just enough to make him faint.

Qingdeng continued:

"Let's stop his bleeding by the way. If we ignore his injuries, he will die before we get back to camp."

Gurgling, gurgling... blood flowed straight down from his broken arm like a trickle.

With such a flow rate, it won't take long for you to lose too much blood.

Sanako curled his lips and said in a feigned displeasure:

"It's really troublesome... Just don't shoot this guy's arm off, then there won't be so many problems."

Qingdeng smiled helplessly.

"I was already red-eyed at that time. When I saw this guy drawing his sword, I subconsciously opened my bow to destroy his ability to resist."

Ever since he copied the talent "Born for Fighting +9" from the "Sword Master" Seiichiro Tanani, it has become easier and easier for Aomori to enter a state of "fighting fanaticism".

"Born for Fighting +9" - The ability of this talent is that the more intense and intense the battle situation, the better the physical and mental state will be.

Although this talent looks abnormal from the introduction, so far, Qingden has never fully unleashed its power.

The reason is quite simple: Qingdeng rarely encounters situations where he needs to go all out or even fight desperately.

However, if you insist that this talent has become a decoration, that is not the case.

Nowadays, whenever Qing Deng is in war, he is more likely to enter an excited and fierce state than before.

In such a state, Qingdeng can always perfectly explain what it means to "treat human life as nothing", "Carrying two watermelon knives, he cut from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road, back and forth for three days and three nights. It was a bloody flow.

Chenghe never blinked a glance."

Complaints are complaints. When it's time to work, Sanako never hesitates.

She turned over and dismounted, tore off a long piece of cloth from the commander's clothes, and tied a tight knot around his right shoulder, which temporarily stopped the bleeding.

Seeing that Sanako had finished bandaging, Qingden turned to look at the bandit camp not far away.

"...Sanako, let's go, we should go back."

"Huh? Are you going back now?"

Qingdeng nodded lightly.

"I've seen everything I wanted to see with my own eyes. In addition, there were unexpected gains. It's almost time to return to camp."

When Qing Deng said the words "unexpected gain", Qing Deng specifically shook the commander under his arm.

Now that Qingden has spoken, Nasanako can only obey obediently.

She nodded in agreement, then got back on the horse.

The two walked side by side... However, after taking only two steps, Qingdeng suddenly reined in the reins as if he had remembered something important.

"Ah, wait a minute!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the horses behind him.

"I almost forgot... take all these horses back. These horses are precious trophies."

After excluding the dead horses that had been shot by Qingdeng with "air leaking from both ends of their bodies" and the horses that fled due to fright, there were still many horses wandering around blankly.

Counting carefully, there are 12 horses in total.

If it's an unmarked knife, a bamboo gun, or other worthless things, then that's it.

However, important strategic resources like horses should be cherished more.

Sanako also came to his senses belatedly.

The two of them dismounted their horses (oxen) together and brought back all the ownerless horses.

While holding the horse, Qingdeng murmured half distressed and half regretful:

"I was careless... I should have killed as few horses as possible just now..."

…

…

Qingden and Sanako took the horses that had been recovered and galloped on the way back to the camp.

Just when the rebel camp had turned into a blurry black shadow behind them, Qingdeng vaguely heard a noisy sound coming from the distance... It must have been that the rebel army had sent out a large number of troops to pursue them again.

Although the reaction of the bandit army was quick, because they acted quickly enough, Qingto and Sanako had already gone far.

Even if the bandit army wanted to pursue them, they could not catch up with them.

"..."

Sanako, who was half a body behind Qingto, was secretly peeking at Qingto again.

For a moment, as if she couldn't hold it any longer, she took a deep breath and whispered:

"Tachibana-kun, although I know that there are no strange powers and chaotic gods in this world, I am becoming more and more doubtful... are you really the incarnation of Niou in the human world?"

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows:

"Huh? Why do you say that suddenly?"

Sanako took another deep breath.

"There seems to be no martial arts in this world that you cannot master."

"You can always show me new and superb martial arts skills from time to time."

"First it was swordsmanship, then archery, and then today's Yabusame horse."

"This is the first time I know... It turns out that you have even dabbled in Yabusame."

"I know that you are very proficient in archery, but I didn't expect that you are even good at Yabusame."

Yabusame - simply put, it is riding and shooting.

From the Heian to the Kamakura period (794-1333), Japan was, to put it mildly, still in the "Aristocratic Age." Yabusame horses, which not only demonstrated aristocratic status but also made it easy to show off, were very popular, and it was also very popular to challenge military commanders to one-on-one battles.

.

Japan during this period was just like ancient China during the Zhou Dynasty. It paid attention to etiquette. Even in war, it had to abide by a lot of complicated etiquette.

When two armies confront each other, each side often sends a general to the front of the battle line to announce each other's home addresses. This is very important. It is extremely rude to interrupt someone else's pretense. After both sides have finished their pretense, they will

The one-on-one challenge called "Yi Qi Dao" officially begins.

Because Yabusame was very popular at that time, the form of duel was mostly horseback shooting.

This form of war that pretended to each other lasted for a long time - it was not until the Yuan Dynasty launched the Eastern Expedition, and the Yuan army that rolled out across the Eurasian continent taught the Japanese samurai a vivid lesson that the Japanese samurai gradually corrected themselves.

He got rid of his bad habit of showing off on the battlefield.
