I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 257: Robbing the Ship

"Konnosuke-sama! It's not good! It's not good!"

At this moment, a villager ran towards Konnosuke anxiously.

"Many ogres are coming towards the village!"

Neither Ogata and the others nor Kinnosuke and his party were surprised that ogres were rushing towards the village.

After all, they had expected that the ogre would definitely come towards the village.

The sound of the shogunate destroying the wooden wall was so loud that it was difficult not to attract the ogres.

The ogre will only start running when it meets a living person. Usually, it moves bit by bit at a speed like walking.

According to the walking speed of the ogre, it is indeed almost entering the wall.

"Huh? Miss A-cho, is your right arm broken?" At this moment, Mamiya asked A-cho suddenly.

"Well, it should be."

"Do you need me to set your bones?"

"Huh?" A-Ming showed surprise, "Do you know how to set bones?"

"I have learned a little bit of Tang Tu's bone setting in An Yun before."

"Then... I will trouble you."

"It may hurt a little, bear with it."

Mamiya grabbed A-Machi's right shoulder with his left hand, and A-Machi's right wrist with his right hand, exerting strength with both hands in different directions.

With the crisp sound of "click", A-Ming let out a low cry of pain.

"Okay." Mamiya let go of Machi's right arm.

He raised his hand and touched the original red and swollen area of ​​his right arm - it was no longer stinging like it was just now.

The right arm is also as relaxed as it has never been injured.

After witnessing the whole process of Mamiya's bone-setting process for Atachi, Ogata couldn't help but said to Mamiya:

"Were you a traveler who used to travel around? In my impression,

You seem to have said that you have learned the three skills of gambling, tracking, and bone setting in Owari, Kai, and Anyun, which are far apart. "

"Although I am not a traveler whose mission is to roam around." Mamiya put on a faint smile, "But the work I did before did allow me to travel all over Japan. Okay, let's talk about gossip first Come here, Ogata-kun, let's talk about how we should act next."

"What else can I do." Ogata shrugged, "Of course we should evacuate here first, and then go to the place where the shogunate army landed."

Hearing Ogata's words, Mamiya's eyes flickered.

"Sure enough..." Mamiya smiled helplessly, "Mr. Ogata, when I heard you said that you wanted to wipe out the incoming shogunate soldiers, I roughly guessed what you were going to do... You are really Be bold..."

"The shogunate finally sent a boat here." A meaningful smile appeared on Ogata's face, "If you don't make good use of it, wouldn't it be a waste? Now some ogres have been lured to Fenghe Village, It is suitable for us to dive to the place where the shogunate army landed."

The conversation between Ogata and Mamiya surprised Konnosuke on the side.

"Are you going to snatch the warships of the shogunate army?"

"Of course." Ogata said without thinking, "This is the only tool on this island that can go to sea at present. If you miss this ship, you will have no chance to escape from here."

After silently listening to Ogata's words, Konnosuke's eyes flickered.

After gritting his teeth, Chao Ogata said loudly:

"Lord Ogata! There are hundreds of shogunate troops who landed on the island this time. There must be many ships responsible for transporting them, or more than one ship!"

"So?" Ogata asked in a tone that was neither salty nor bland.

"Master Ogata..." With a flick of his arm, Konnosuke shook off the hand of the villager who was supporting him next to him, and then lay down on the ground, making a douchebag to Ogata and his party, "Before you snatch him away After the shogunate army's ship, please let us board the ship too!"

Ogata seemed to have guessed what Konnosuke would say. After hearing what Konnosuke said, the look and expression on his face did not change.

After Konnosuke's words fell, he asked in a calm tone:

"And then? After we successfully snatched the shogunate army's ship and let you board the ship, what are you going to do next? Flee to the main island of Japan and build a 'Xinfenghe Village' on the main island of Japan?"

"No..." Konnosuke smiled wryly, "This won't solve the problem... After you snatch the shogunate's ships, we plan to arrive at the main island of Japan by boat, and then negotiate with the shogunate to persuade them to let us go." A way out."

Be it Ogata, A-Machi and the others, their eyes flashed with surprise at this moment.

Konnosuke then went on to say:

"Even if you escape to the main island of Japan and build another home, sooner or later you will be found out by the shogunate, and then you will be killed by the shogunate..."

"We have a large number of old and weak women and children here, and it is impossible to make our home in the world and flee everywhere..."

"If we want to survive, the only thing we can do is to negotiate with the shogunate and persuade them to let us live..."

"...Forgive me." Ogata said without euphemism, "The success rate of your plan is very low, and the possibility of persuading the shogunate to let you survive is very slim."

"I know..." Konnosuke smiled wryly, "but... there is still a glimmer of hope for this plan..."

After silently looking at Konnosuke who was still lying on the ground in front of him, Ogata turned his head and looked at the three people behind him, Atachi, Mamiya, and Makimura.

"What's the opinion of the three of you?" Ogata asked softly, "Would you like to help Kinnoko give them one last shot?"

"I have no objection." Mucun took the lead in expressing his opinion.

And A-cho followed closely behind Mucun: "I'm very happy."

Mamiya didn't make a sound, only nodded slightly after being silent for a while.

Seeing that none of his three companions had any objections, Ogata nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze back to Konnosuke.

"Konnosuke, let those who are still alive hurry up and prepare."

"Get out of here quickly before the ogres that are already rushing here have not come here."

"We escort you to the coast where the Shogunate ships are."

"As for whether you can survive after boarding the warship of the shogunate army and leaving this ghost place, it all depends on your luck."

Hearing what Ogata said, both Konnosuke and the rest of the villagers behind him showed excitement.

"...Thank you." Konnosuke's eyes were slightly red, "Really... Thank you very much for your help..."

Looking at Konnosuke who seemed to be about to cry with joy, a faint smile appeared on Ogata's cheek.

With a smile on his face, Ogata turned his head to A-machi and Makimura beside him and said:

"Machi, are you still able to walk on your feet?"

"Well, there's no problem, it's just a sprain. Now after a short rest, it's much better and I can walk and run normally."

"Then--Amachi, Makimura. The task of escorting the villagers to the coast can be left to Mamiya and me. I will give you two other tasks."

...

...

The next day, early morning.

Today's weather is not good.

The pale yellow morning sun slowly rises from the sea level, and with difficulty, the faint light of dawn penetrates the heavy haze, and weakly casts towards the coast of Butterfly Island.

Although it did not change the drowsy sky at all, it barely illuminated a large ship moored on the coast.

There are a total of 30 soldiers of the shogunate army staying here.

Person No. 15 stood on the shore outside the ship, and Person No. 15 stayed on board.

The only weapons they have are swords, spears and a little space.

The reason why there is no iron cannon is mainly because Inamori's arrogance is at work.

Iron cannons are fairly expensive weapons.

Because he despised the remaining islanders on the island, Inamori felt that there was no need to dispatch such expensive weapons, so the 150 generals responsible for landing on the island did not have iron cannons.

While the soldiers staying on the ship were carefully observing their surroundings, they suddenly noticed some changes in the thick forest opposite.

The soldiers, whose nerves were tense immediately, immediately concentrated their minds and bodies on the source of the change.

It was two soldiers wearing blood-stained armor that caused this change.

One of the two soldiers seemed to have suffered serious injuries and was asked to support another soldier.

The two limped towards the boat.

Seeing that it was a friendly army, the tense nerves of the soldiers in charge of guarding the ship eased a little.

The 15 soldiers guarding the coast outside the ship quickly ran towards the two blood-stained comrades with their weapons in hand.

"Brothers! What's wrong with you?"

"What happened? How did you suffer such serious injuries?!"

"Has it been attacked by the islanders? Or has it been attacked by ogres?"

...

After surrounding the two comrades-in-arms, the 15 soldiers asked what happened one after another.

The large blood stains on the bodies of these two comrades made them uncontrollably have an ominous premonition.

After getting close to these two comrades-in-arms, they clearly felt that the heights of these two comrades-in-arms were quite tall-but not many people cared about this.

After all, there has never been a shortage of such tall people in the military.

Many soldiers in the army are often from well-off samurai families.

Because of eating well, there is never a shortage of people of outstanding height in the army.

These 15 soldiers only regarded these two as soldiers from a samurai family with a good family background and good food and drink since childhood, or as people with extraordinary talents since childhood.

Because they focused all their attention on asking what happened to the two comrades-in-arms, no one noticed—the double knives at the waist of one of the two comrades-in-arms were wrapped in black cloth.

The handle and scabbard were wrapped with thick black cloth, as if he didn't want people to notice the appearance of the two knives around his waist...

Under repeated questioning, the one who seemed to be the least injured among the two comrades muttered a few words softly.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Speak louder!"

The few people closest to this comrade-in-arms moved their ears closer.

After bringing his ear closer, the comrade-in-arms muttered a few words softly again.

But this time, they heard it very clearly.

"...I'm sorry."—that was the words they heard.

The sword light flashed.

A cold light popped out soundlessly from the scabbard at the soldier's waist, and swept horizontally across the throats of the three people closest to him.

And after the soldier violently killed people, the "soldier" who had been supported by him since just now, who seemed to be seriously injured, also pulled out the two handles from the scabbard around his waist in an instant. The hilt was wrapped in black cloth, and it attacked the surrounding shogunate soldiers.

...

...

Put on the armor of the shogunate soldiers with Mamiya, pretend to be shogunate soldiers and approach their warships, kill all the soldiers watching the ships, and then snatch their ships-this is Ogata's plan.

Although simple, it is extraordinarily effective.

Fortunately, there were enough shogunate soldiers who died in Fenghe Village, and two of these soldiers happened to be similar in size to Ogata and Mamiya, allowing Ogata and Mamiya to easily complete the change of clothes.

The shapes of Da Shitian and Da Zizai are too gorgeous. In order not to make the shogunate soldiers guarding the boat suspicious, Ogata specially wrapped the handle and scabbard of Da Shitian and Da Zizai with thick black cloth, In order to cover the appearance of the two knives.

After Gamiya used his unique skill - the silent sword drawing technique "Shenguang" to kill three people in one go, Ogata, who had been pretending to be seriously injured and huddled in Gamiya's arms, also started his action, pulling out Da Shitian and Da Zizai at their waists attacked the surrounding shogunate soldiers.

The sudden attack on Ogata and Mamiya by soldiers of the shogunate army who mistakenly thought that Ogata and Mamiya were comrades-in-arms was unexpected.

By the time they came to their senses, half of their comrades had already fallen.

The rest of the people started to fight back, and the other 15 people guarding the boat also noticed the strange situation here, they took up their weapons one after another, rushed off the boat, and started to support.

The most important thing to seize the ship this time is to be fast.

After all, there were only 2 people on Ogata's side, and the opponent was 30 elite shogunate soldiers.

The best thing is to kill as many people as possible before they realize what happened, and minimize their combat power.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, Ogata and Gamiya went all out.

Ogata directly pulled out the double swords, and Mamiya also used his amazing sword speed to the extreme.

The two strictly abide by the principle of one sword, one kill. After beheading the 15 shogunate soldiers around them, they quickly walked towards the other 15 soldiers who had just disembarked and had not had time to start supporting...

...

...

"Hahaha……"

Ogata sat slumped on the beach without any image, panting heavily and adjusting his breathing while taking off the armor on his body.

As for Mamiya, he stood beside Ogata, took off his armor with Ogata, and whispered to Ogata at the same time:

"No more, no less, exactly 30 corpses... The process of capturing the ship was much smoother than expected."

The beach next to the two of them was covered with the corpses of 30 shogunate soldiers at this time—Ogata and Mamiya, who were fully fired, killed the 30 soldiers guarding the ship in less than 20 breaths. The soldiers of the shogunate army were wiped out.

Of the 30 people, 20 were killed by Mamiya, and the other 10 were killed by Ogata.

"Your condition looks bad..." Gamiya, whose breathing was only a little short, said to Ogata, who was still panting heavily.

"Aren't you talking nonsense..." Ogata smiled bitterly, "Who was the most tired person last night?"
