ALL NOVEL Chapter 402 The Demon Lord's Legacy, Meeting the Ancestor
"Is this the army of the Ming Dynasty?"
Uesugi Kenshin, wearing a silver armor and white robe, holding a silver pointed helmet, stood at the forefront of the battlefield.
After hesitating for a moment, the girl let down her waist-length hair and put on the pointed helmet on her head.
Although the pointed helmet does not provide much defense.
But it can make her presence extremely conspicuous.
It is convenient to organize the soldiers under her command and can also attract the enemy's attack.
On the battlefield, the slightest advantage may rewrite the outcome of the war.
"Miss, when you were reading military books before, weren't you looking forward to fighting with the famous Han generals?"
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the military advisor Naoesai Ai placed a huge Bi flag behind Uesugi Kenshin.
Looking at the battle flags rolling in the wind, the elite warriors of the Uesugi family gathered silently and formed an orderly array.
The Naoes have served the Uesugi family for generations, and Naoesai Ai herself grew up with Uesugi Kenshin.
After adulthood, she served the stubborn Kenshin with the identity of a family elder.
At the same time, he also took care of Kenshin's daily life and diet.
Rather than being a retainer, he was Kenshin's guardian.
"I used to think that there was no chance of fighting, so I had some strange ideas in my mind."
Uesugi Kenshin stared at the assembled Ming army in the distance, a little depressed: "You know me, since then..., I don't think about it anymore."
Uesugi Kenshin chose the location of his camp very well, considering various accidents.
Not only is it in the upwind, but the slope of the mountain can also maximize the attack and defense of bows and arrows.
After the front army was attacked suddenly, under the command of Uesugi Kenshin, it had already confronted the Ming army.
The distance between the two armies was two hundred steps, which was a dense rain of arrows.
Even the strong men of heaven and man were unwilling to rashly enter to experience the rain of arrows.
"But now, we have no choice at all."
Naojiang Ai looked at the dark mass of the Ming army at the foot of the mountain, frowned and said: "For the glory of the Uesugi family, we can only fight to the death and defeat the powerful enemy in front of us."
The opponent's bows and arrows, I don't know what material they are made of, but they are obviously better than those of the Uesugi family.
We are on a high ground, with the help of the mountain wind, but we are still suppressed by the opponent's rain of arrows.
If it is a plain, everyone fights in the field...
Then the opponent only needs to shoot a few rounds of rain of arrows to wipe out the Uesugi family.
Thinking of this, Naojiang Ai is a little relieved.
"In this war..., we are the unjust party."
"I have been running around to stop the war since I was sixteen."
"I have been on the battlefield dozens of times for those forces invaded by the Takeda family and the Hojo family."
Uesugi Kenshin smiled bitterly: "But in the end, I also became one of the invaders, doing what I hate the most."
"This..., the lady is protecting the people of Echigo, this is for justice."
Naoie Ai sighed: "If it weren't for the lady's sacrifice, the entire Echigo Province would have been massacred by Oda Nobunaga now."
"Aggression is aggression, no matter how the motive is beautified, it is also aggression."
"I lost to Oda Nobunaga only because of my incompetence."
Uesugi Kenshin said lightly: "If we don't even have the courage to tell the truth, then we might as well commit suicide immediately . "
"Miss? You've said too much."
Naoe Ai felt a little unlucky: "Didn't you say that on the battlefield, you should abandon all negative emotions and only think about defeating the opponent."
"Yes, I did."
Uesugi Kenshin said: "Unfortunately, I can't do it."
Naoe Ai: "..."
"For Echigo Province, for the people of Japan. I will fight with all my strength."
"But no matter how brave I am, I am still a sinner, and only blood can wash away my sins."
Uesugi Kenshin bowed to Naoe Ai: "If I die in battle, I can only leave these things to you, try to live."
"Miss, don't be like this..."
Naoe Ai looked at Uesugi Kenshin's stern expression and sighed: "I obey your order!"
As the head of the family, Uesugi Kenshin's decision cannot be questioned.
Even if the other party chooses to commit seppuku and orders her to be the kaishakunin.
As a retainer, she has no right to refuse.
"Okay, I've said what I need to say."
Uesugi Kenshin smiled, lightly drew out his famous sword "Himetsu Ichimonji", and walked forward quickly: "Everyone, follow me to charge!"
"Full bow, volley!"
The pale sword energy cut through the sky, and the cold female voice sounded: "Target: enemy commander, Uesugi Kenshin!"
"Yes!"
The full moon of the bow was like thunderbolt, and in the whistling sound, rows of sharp arrows broke through and shot at Uesugi Kenshin.
"Hmm? This bow and arrow...?"
Uesugi Kenshin looked at the arrows that were like falling meteors, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The next moment, the girl held the hilt of the sword with both hands at the same time, raised the long sword above her head, and slashed it down suddenly.
At the moment the long sword fell, a snow-white sword light broke through the air.
The sword light expanded rapidly.
In an instant, it evolved from a slender light into a sword wave covering the sky and the ground.
The terrifying sword energy turned into a real raging wave, sweeping across the sky.
The earth was plowed flat, and the arrows in the sky were blown around by the sword energy and broken one after another.
"Charge!"
"The commander of the legion will win!"
"Defeat the enemy!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted and approached the army at the foot of the mountain.
"Uh!"
Uesugi Kenshin's pretty face turned slightly pale, and he seemed to be in some pain.
She took a deep breath and said loudly: "All armies obey orders. If there is no order from the general, no one can go out into battle. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
"Master? You just..."
Naoe Ai was startled and said hesitantly: "Would you like to take a rest?"
"I'm measured."
Uesugi Kenshin said calmly: "You are responsible for supervising the execution of the army. Is there any problem?"
"...I accept your order!"
Naoe Ai sighed and waved his right hand, adding another encouragement and strength formation to Uesugi Kenshin.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Uesugi Kenshin looked back and smiled, his petite body turned into numerous afterimages, and he charged alone towards the Ming army at the foot of the mountain.
***
"Master Military Advisor, what's going on?"
Usami Sadamitsu, one of the "Uesugi Four Heavenly Kings", walked up to Naoe Ai who looked solemn and asked.
"If I read correctly, the young lady cannot block these arrows with her own cultivation."
"In order to prevent the former army from collapsing directly, the young lady had no choice but to use the 'Might of the God of War' to forcibly tear the arrow rain into pieces."
Naoe Ai frowned: "This move is extremely taxing on the body. Miss can't use it all the time, so she can only charge into the battle alone."
"The Ming army's volley was so terrifying?"
Usami Sadamitsu was startled: "How is it possible that there is such a powerful bow and arrow?"
Kenshin Uesugi's strength surpassed Echigo.
If you are facing a rain of arrows, you can just draw your sword with one hand and wave it away, and the sword wind will blow away all the arrows.
This time holding swords in both hands surprised Usami Sadamitsu.
As a result, Kenshin directly used his ultimate move...
This made Usami Sadaman feel ridiculous.
"I don't know, but the enemy's bows and arrows are too powerful, and they are indeed incomparable to our army!"
Naoe Ai said quietly: "Even if the Oda family fires a volley of muskets, it will still be far behind."
"No wonder the head of the family didn't let me wait to go out..."
Usami looked ashamed and said sadly: "How on earth did the Ming army make the strong bow? We can learn from it in the future."
"You can't learn it."
Naoe Ai stretched out her hand, and an arrow on the ground bounced up and landed in her hand: "The bow and arrow itself are just forged from fine iron, the key lies in the bow string."
"Um?"
"In addition to bowstrings, these strong archers also need to be screened and trained in extremely harsh ways."
"It will take at least one or two years to draw the bowstring."
"Even with the Ming Dynasty's foundation, there are not many such archers."
"So if Miss can really break the Ming army's bow formation, it is equivalent to destroying the opponent's trump card."
Naoe Ai's voice was faint: "It is indeed risky, but it is worth a try!"
"What exactly are their bowstrings made of?"
Usami Sada said in surprise: "Why can't we learn?"
"A bowstring with such power..."
Naoe Ai gave a bitter laugh: "It can only be Ryujin!"
"Nani?!"
***
"How could anyone be so extravagant as to use dragon tendons to make bows and arm an entire army?"
"There are so many archers who can draw the dragon's sinew bow...could it be that they have also eaten dragon meat and drank dragon blood?"
"If I had soldiers like this... forget it, don't think too much about unrealistic things."
Uesugi Kenshin looked at the enemy troops so close, his pretty face slightly bulging, feeling a little tired.
In terms of leadership ability alone, she has the confidence to compete with the world's heroes.
But right now, it’s not a question of leadership at all!
Since the opponent can use dragon tendon bows to form a bow array...
Uesugi Kenshin thinks that it is not too much to use dragon scales as shields for infantry and dragon bones as spears for cavalry...
In this case, even in the plains, if she uses the "Car Hanging Formation" that she is best at, she will still be beaten to tears!
"Change!"
A beautiful woman wearing a general's robe and holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword stepped out from the crowd alone: "Send hello to General Uesugi."
"Hello, General Uesugi!"
On the front line of the Ming army's position, ferocious blue-black shields rose up and were placed on the ground, turning into a shield wall.
Invisible pressure emanates from the shield wall, giving people an unshakable feeling.
"..."
Uesugi Kenshin's eyes narrowed and he felt a little tight in his chest.
She still firmly believes that her military capabilities will not be inferior to those of others.
However, the opponent's equipment...
What a great lady!
This made Uesugi Kenshin, who had been digging around all day long and often hungry, feel an indescribable feeling.
It was as if she was a top chess master, confidently challenging the Ming dynasty players.
But when the opponent moves one point on the chessboard, the five "soldiers" in front become five "rooks".
Let’s not talk about winning or losing...
Just seeing this scene gives people an indescribable feeling of grassiness.
Tired, destroy it!
"General Uesugi tried to break through the formation with one man's strength, and he proved to be unparalleled in his prowess."
Dugu Lian'er smiled and said, "In that case, I will give the general a chance."
"What chance?"
Uesugi Kenshin's thoughts moved slightly: "Are you the commander-in-chief tonight? Do you want to challenge me to a duel? Will you withdraw if you lose?"
Although she is known as the God of War, her emotional intelligence is not very high.
He always speaks straightforwardly and says whatever comes to mind.
He also has the courage to use his small skills to make a big difference, which often leaves Naoe Aida speechless.
Right now, if we really want to fight, we will definitely not be able to defeat him...
Hearing Dugu Lian'er's words, Uesugi Kenshin immediately realized that the key point in the battle was to fight the woman holding the sword in front of him.
Although others are sure to win, they may not be willing to challenge themselves to a duel.
But if you make a suggestion, there is nothing to lose...
Besides, he dared to come alone to break the army.
If the opposing coach is still hesitant and timid, it will also affect morale.
The situation is already so difficult, so we still have to fight for this little advantage.
"...General Uesugi acted like this. I can't figure it out. Is this an act of innocence?"
Dugu Lian'er pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, since General Uesugi is so elegant, then there is no harm in fighting."
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Uesugi Kenshin hesitated for a moment and hung Jihe Yimoji back on his waist: "When I was young, I was taught martial arts by a stranger. My fist and kick skills are actually better than swordsmanship."
"You don't have a knife in your hand, but you have a knife in your heart? You forget both the knife and the knife? That's not right. You look quite normal. There is no reason to get into trouble like this."
"And the might of the military god you just displayed was obviously meant to be displayed with a weapon."
Dugu Lian'er hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, it's up to you. Since you don't need that thing, I don't need Allure Love either. Let's fight first."
"Please give me more advice."
Uesugi Kenshin took off his pointed helmet, his hands resembled claws, and he assumed a very strange posture.
"Okay! You're welcome then!"
Dugu Lian'er took a step forward, and the blazing flames turned into armor, burning on her body, and then injected into the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
The moment the fire exploded, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword suddenly rose and fell forward without any tricks.
Seven fire dragons with fangs and claws left the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, circled and danced, and bit down at Uesugi Kenshin!
Love for seven generations!
"The Gang Qi has a spirit? There are so many heroes in the world..."
Uesugi Kenshin let out a slight sigh: "But senior's great wish, how can it be finally achieved by me?"
Suddenly, an endless chill filled the body of Uesugi Kenshin.
The waist-length blue hair became snow-white and crystal clear, as if carved from ice and snow.
Looking at the roaring fire dragon, the girl's eyes remained calm, and she slowly greeted it with a palm.
The cold air condensed, and a giant hand of ice and snow like a mountain appeared in the void.
The moment the giant hand manifested, it faced Dugu Lian'er's most powerful sword intent with a chill that froze the world.
Silently, the sword energy that burned all things and the ice and snow handprints collided in the void more than a hundred times.
Under the wash of the cold current, the fire dragon let out an angry roar and gradually collapsed and was annihilated.
The huge handprint of ice and snow quickly disintegrated and turned into ice crystals all over the sky.
The aftermath of the sword energy and palm power swept across the battlefield. Under the interplay of ice and fire, all the trees, grass and rocks were turned into powder, and the air was filled with the fragrance of vegetation.
"..."
The officers and soldiers of both armies had never seen such a scene. Everyone stared blankly at the smooth mirror-like ground beside the two women, unable to say a word.
"It's really good at martial arts!"
Dugu Lian'er let out a sullen breath and silently circulated the power of Long Yuan: "Let's do it again!"
"please!"
Uesugi Kenshin also took the opportunity to take a breath, his body was surrounded by black mist, exuding a strong death aura.
"Wait a minute."
Purple mist swirled around, revealing Ao Xue's slender and graceful figure: "General Uesugi, the internal strength you practice is the ultimate in the earth?"
"Huh? You... Your Excellency also know this martial art?"
Uesugi Kenshin was slightly startled and said in surprise.
"Of course I know..."
"That's right! This martial art originated from the founder of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma, and is one of the highest martial arts magical powers in the Buddhism of China."
Uesugi Kenshin said thoughtfully: "Since the former demon lord Fubai Suzhen, this martial art has appeared several times in the Central Plains and has become famous all over the world."
"Are you the demon lord of this generation?"
"this……"
Uesugi Kenshin was a little ashamed: "The Demon Lord has great aspirations, but I am full of ambition but not strong enough. I am ashamed and unworthy of calling myself this."
"I have a big wish..., okay, it is indeed a big wish."
Ao Xue sighed, bit her lower lip and said, "Not to mention whether you can realize that great wish, are you willing to bear the karma of the Demon Lord's lineage?"
"Of course I am willing!"
Uesugi Kenshin clasped his hands in his fists and said proudly.
"Well, not only Wuliangdu, but you, Xuedu and Deathdu, are also good at practicing... That person's vision is pretty good."
Ao Xue glanced at Dugu Lian'er: "I didn't expect this kind of thing. How about we stop fighting and sit down and talk?"
"Okay, I was originally wondering why there is no inheritance of the Demon Lord in the Central Plains."
"It turns out that the previous generation of demon lords had so many ideas that they went to Japan to lay out their plans... huh?"
Dugu Lian'er's eyes flickered: "Sister Long, are we considered peers?"
"Don't you always call me sister? Of course."
"That's good……"
Dugu Lian'er smiled and said: "Little girl of the Uesugi family, your ancestor asked us not to fight for now. I'm not afraid of you. If you want to fight, we will fight later."
Uesugi Kenshin: "???"
