I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"X state" - a colloquial honorific name for the vassal state.

"Xianzhou" means Sendai Fan. The lord of the Sendai Domain can be called "Xianzhou Master".

By analogy: Aizu Fan is "Huizhou", and Ogata's hometown Hirose Fan is "Guangzhou".

As for "Seven Guns", it is quite an ancient title.

In the Warring States Period two hundred years ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had begun to emerge, once fought a very famous battle-the Battle of Jianyue.

In this battle, seven fierce generals performed exceptionally well.

After the battle, the world called these seven fierce generals "Qiyue Qiben Gun".

"Qiyue Seven Guns" is a household name.

"Xianzhou Seven Guns", Ogata has never heard of it.

When this guy who called himself "Seven Guns of Xianzhou" and "Akizuki Rizen" was looking at Ogata, Ogata was also looking at this person.

The first impression this person gave Ogata was that he was tall.

In Ogata's impression, the last time he needed to raise his head so high to speak to someone was when he spoke to Mucun, who was 1.86 meters tall, before leaving Edo.

And this guy in front of him is taller than Mucun, his height is definitely over 1.9 meters.

Not only tall but also strong, even wearing heavy armor, Ogata can still feel the rock-like towering and tight muscles under the armor.

Ogata, who is 1.7 meters tall, is already considered outstanding in this era, let alone someone who is over 1.9 meters tall.

With such a tall and strong body, just standing there is enough to scare some people to pee.

He has a very young face, just from his appearance, his age is about 26 years old.

This guy was wearing battle armor, and Ogata couldn't help but look at this guy's armor a few more times.

Because this is the first time Ogata has seen this traditional large armor since he traveled to the Edo period.

The last time I saw the armor was in Kyoto a few months ago, when I encountered a group of enemies dressed in Nanman's body.

The Nanman carcass is a kind of "hybrid" that combines the characteristics of Western-style armor and Japanese-style armor. It has excellent defensive power and is also very rare.

The armor on the guy in front of him is the traditional Japanese armor——Okai.

The breastplate is made of small pieces of nail leaves, covered with a layer of leather mainly made of buckskin.

After being covered with leather made of buckskin, the appearance of the armor can be smoothed to prevent the bowstring from being scratched by the armor when the samurai shoots arrows.

Even if he doesn't know anything about fabrics, Ogata can tell that the black haori that this guy wears over his armor must be made of very high-grade fabrics. Just by looking at it, you can feel the feathers Weaving is expensive.

Jin feather weaving - as the name implies, it is a sleeveless feather weaving that is worn outside the armor.

The main function is to make the wearer look more stylish, and it also has the function of preventing cold.

But this thin layer of sleeveless haori can't prevent any cold, so the main function of the haori is to make the wearer look more handsome, more stylish, and easy to pretend.

Generally speaking,

Only generals in the army can wear Jinhaori.

This person has declared his family name, and Ogata immediately revealed his name:

"Hosho Sword Gym diner, Goro Mashima."

"I've heard just now that someone is coming to kick the gym. Is it you?"

After all, Ogata turned his head and glanced at the dozen or so strangers sitting in a corner of the dojo.

The clothes of these strangers are embroidered with the same family crest—bamboo sparrow pattern—as Qiuyue’s feather weave.

The bamboo sparrow pattern is the family crest of the Date family who ruled the Sendai domain.

In addition, Qiuyue called herself "Seven Guns of Xianzhou" just now.

The identities of the group headed by Qiuyue are ready to be revealed-people from the Sendai Domain.

Ogata couldn't help thinking of the news that Jiro Nishino told him just now that "the army of the Sendai domain is stationed near Nishinocho".

After consolidating the known information so far, Ogata then asked the man in heavy armor in front of him—that is, Akizuki Rizen:

"I heard that the army of the Sendai domain is stationed near Nishinocho."

"Are you the generals of the Sendai Domain?"

"That's right!" Qiuyue grinned, "We are the generals of the Sendai Domain."

"Staying in the barracks is kind of boring."

"Then I heard that there is a sword gym in Jinye Town, which is very close to the military camp."

"So I took advantage of a little time now, and came here to pass the time."

"As for the 'kicking the gym' you mentioned just now..." Qiuyue shrugged, "Don't put it so harshly, it's just an ordinary visit to learn from each other and ask for advice."

"I consider myself to be that kind of character. No matter what the result of today's consultation is, I will not spread it to the outside world."

After all, Qiuyue looked at Ogata in front of her again.

"Since you can be invited to be a diner, then your strength should be very strong."

"I see that the calluses on your palms are very thick."

"Only those who hold swords for many years have such palms."

Qiuyue showed a happy smile.

"Are you trying to challenge me?" Ogata asked in a flat tone.

"Are you willing to accept my challenge?"

"I am also a customer of Baosheng Sword Gym. If you want to challenge me, then I will accompany you to the end."

The masters and apprentices of Baosheng Sword Gym have successfully helped him earn a lot of experience points in the recent period.

Ogata treated the masters and apprentices of the Baosheng Sword Gym with gratitude.

And he is also a diner of Baosheng Sword Gym on the surface. It is the duty of diners to protect the sword hall.

Leaving personal dignity aside, Ogata has no reason to back down from the challenge of the "Kickers" when it comes to his feelings for the masters and apprentices of the Baosheng Sword Gym.

"Happy!" The smile on Qiuyue's face became stronger, "But I have to wait a while before I can challenge you."

"Before you came, you already agreed to ask another person for advice."

After all, Qiuyue turned her head and looked at the apprentices kneeling on both sides of the dojo.

"Hey! Who said you wanted to challenge me just now?"

"it's me!"

As soon as Qiuyue finished speaking, a young man got up from the edge of the dojo.

"I'm going to be the 'Baosheng Ten Swords' Miyauchi Ichiro!"

After reporting to the house, Miyauchi turned to look at Ogata, and apologized to Ogata.

"I'm sorry, Mashima-sama, please allow me to ask the 'Xianzhou Seven Guns' for advice."

Ogata naturally didn't care about such trivial matters as who went first and who came later. After nodding his head, he took off the big Shitian on his left waist, held it with his right hand, and walked quickly towards Director Baosheng's side.

"Put on the armor." Qiuyue pouted towards the palace.

As soon as Qiuyue finished speaking, the dozen or so warriors who had been sitting quietly in a corner of the dojo just now, wearing clothes embroidered with the family crest of the Sendai feudal clan, started to move.

They held a set of armor in front of Miyau, and then helped Miyau put on the armor.

After walking quickly to Director Baosheng's side, Ogata quickly bent his knees and sat down.

After Ogata sat down, curator Hosho briefly exchanged greetings with Ogata, asking how the two days before Ogata had been away from Nishinocho.

After the simple greetings, Xu conveniently began to ask Qiuyue and his group what was going on.

Director Baosheng also briefly explained what happened.

About half an hour ago, this group of people suddenly visited their sword hall.

The group of uninvited guests told them bluntly-they wanted to ask for advice.

Although there were a dozen or so of them, the only one who wanted to ask for advice was Qiuyue Liqian, who called himself "Seven Spears of Xianzhou".

Qiuyue said that wearing armor makes it easier to fight with others, and it is not easy to be injured or injure others while wearing armor, so both parties are required to wear armor.

So in addition to bringing her own armor, Qiuyue also carefully brought 3 pairs of armor of different sizes for people of different sizes to wear.

Before Ogata arrived at the sword gym, Qiuyue had already sparred with the three apprentices of the sword hall.

Those who stepped forward to face Qiuyue were all members of "Baosheng Ten Swords".

The result of the battle was without exception——Qiuyue won.

Facing Qiuyue's 3-meter-long spear, the members of "Baosheng Ten Swords" who stepped forward to fight were all helpless and quickly lost.

Qiuyue happened to defeat the "Baosheng Ten Swords" who came forward to fight in third place, and Miyauchi Langsheng, who was also one of the "Baosheng Ten Swords", said that when he came to fight Qiuyue in the next game, Oo was conveniently entering the dojo.

After quietly listening to Director Baosheng's explanation of the cause and effect of the matter, Ogata asked in a volume that only he and Director Baosheng could hear clearly:

"Mr. Baosheng, can you introduce 'Xianzhou Seven Guns' to me? What is it?"

Ogata originally thought that he didn't know the "Seven Guns of Xianzhou" because he was a foreigner and was not familiar with Ou Yu.

But who would have thought that Director Baosheng also shook his head slightly.

"I don't know much about the 'Xianzhou Seven Guns' either."

Curator Hosho said in a low voice that only he and Ogata could hear clearly:

"I only know that 'Xianzhou Seven Spears' is the title given to the seven most brave generals in their army by the current lord of the Sendai Domain."

"Other than that, I don't know anything about the 'Xianzhou Seven Guns'."

Although curator Baosheng didn't know much about "Xianzhou Seven Guns", his simple introduction just now made the fog in Ogata's mind dissipate a little.

What is known so far is that there are 7 people in the "Xianzhou Seven Guns", and their skills should be very good, strong enough to stand out in the army.

At this time, Gong Nai, one of the "Ten Swords of Baosheng" who had just decided to challenge Qiuyue, finally put on his armor.

After putting on the armor, Miyauchi casually took a wooden knife from the knife holder, and then stood in front of Qiuyue, posing in a standard mid-section posture.

After setting up the knife in the palace, Qiuyue spread her feet apart, held the gun, left hand in front, right hand behind, and pointed the tip of the gun wrapped in white cloth directly at the palace.

When Miyauchi carried the gun on his shoulders just now, he didn't think the gun was scary.

It wasn't until he put the gun down and pointed the tip at the person that he clearly felt how oppressive the gun was.

The gun in Qiuyue's hand can be seen to be specially made.

3 meters in length, with a gun shaft half as thick as the rim of a bowl - no one with any strength can handle this gun.

Because Qiuyue uses a long spear, in order not to be accidentally injured by Qiuyue, everyone in the dojo sat farther than usual when watching the sparring.

A person with a height of 1.9 meters wields a 3-meter-long spear-only the person facing him can truly feel how terrifying the oppression is.

Miyauchi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and took a few deep breaths to calm down the nervous mood a little.

Then, while shouting, he poured all his strength into his feet, intending to use all his strength from the beginning to close the distance between himself and Qiuyue in one breath.

However——he just took a few steps when he saw the gun head wrapped in white cloth zooming in on his field of vision at an extremely fast speed.

Just now Qiuyue took half a step back at a much faster speed than Gong Nei, then adjusted the tip of the spear and stabbed towards Gong Nei.

That's the disgusting thing about long arms.

In cold weapon fighting, as long as it is not on any special occasion, the person who uses long weapons and has a wider attack range has the advantage.

A rookie who has only learned a long spear for a month or two, uses a long spear to overthrow a veteran swordsman who has been practicing swordsmanship for several years-this kind of thing is very common.

The practicability of the spear is so high that it is foolish in battle, so it is called the "king of a hundred soldiers".

Facing the gun head that was about to hit his chest, Miyauchi avoided it dangerously.

Qiuyue's changes were extremely fast.

Seeing that his straight stab missed, he quickly changed his posture.

From "stab" to "whip".

Like flicking a whip, Qiuyue threw the spear in her hand towards the palace.

Qiuyue's "whip" this time was much faster than the "stab" just now.

Gong Nai, who had no time to dodge, was struck firmly in the side and was knocked down to the ground.

Qiuyue only made two moves back and forth, and defeated Gong Nei, one of the "Ten Swords of Baosheng".

The few apprentices who were sitting closest to the palace quickly stepped forward, helped the palace up, and checked if there was any injury in the palace.

Ogata could see that——Qiuyue held back just now.

Qiuyue kept her hands, and she was wearing armor, so the palace was not injured.

After easily defeating Miyauchi, Qiuyue put the big wooden gun in her hand on her shoulder again, then turned to look at Ogata, grinning:

"Okay, diners. Come on!"

Qiuyue calls for Ogata to play.

And Ogata is not procrastinating.

He also took off the Da Zizai on the left waist and placed it on the tatami on the right, then walked slowly to Qiuyue.

Qiuyue actually has the reputation of "Xianzhou Seven Guns", so he must be a high-ranking general in the Sendai Fan army.

So Ogata guessed that the dozen or so people who came here with Qiuyue were most likely Qiuyue's personal soldiers.

After Ogata played, the dozen or so people who might be Qiuyue's soldiers stepped forward to put on the armor for Ogata.

Because there was someone helping him through the armor, Ogata didn't need to do anything, he just had to raise his hands to the sides.

While waiting for the armor to be put on, because he had nothing to do, Ogata simply pulled out his system interface to check his current personal status.

[Current personal level: LV35 (2580/5400)]

[Sakakibara Ichikatsu level: 12 ranks (5655/9000)]

[Nugo Two Swords Level: Level 11 (3990/12000)]

【Shiranui Ninjutsu Level: 7th Stage (4290/4500)】

After annihilating that group of bandits, Ogata's various experience bars have been greatly increased.

There are only a few hundred experience points left for Shiranui Ninjutsu to upgrade.

When Ogata checked his personal status and closed the personal system interface, the armor on his body had just been put on.

Ogata turned his wrist, experiencing the feeling of wearing armor.

Only then did Ogata realize that this seemed to be the first time he had worn armor since traveling to this era.

Previously, he only passed through the chain mail provided by the elder Kuranaga when he assassinated Matsudaira Gennai.

These armors provided by Qiuyue are very ordinary armors, the kind of armors that can only be worn by young generals.

But even that kind of ordinary armor is quite heavy.

If you want to talk about how you feel about wearing armor, the first feeling that pops up in Ogata's mind is heavy.

But this weight is nothing to Ogata who now has 20 points of strength.

After briefly confirming that all joints can rotate normally and that there is no part of the armor that is not worn properly, Ogata raised the wooden sword in his hand and set up the sword.

After seeing Ogata set up the knife, Qiuyue also put down the long spear carried on her shoulders, separated her feet, and pointed the tip of the gun obliquely at Ogata.

——It really feels oppressive.

Ogata couldn't help thinking secretly in his heart.

Just now he was just watching the game from the sidelines.

Now after playing against Akizuki in person, Ogata can truly feel how oppressive Akizuki, who is 1.9 meters tall and wields a 3-meter-long spear, is.

However——in terms of oppression, Qiuyue is still a little worse than the "demon monk" Ogata encountered on Butterfly Island before.

After all, the "demon monk" is more than 2 meters tall.

The length of the naginata used is not much shorter than the wooden spear used by Qiuyue.

Because he has fought against more oppressive people before, facing Qiuyue, Ogata will not be at a loss like a rookie, and he doesn't even know how to get close.

Ogata quickly took half a step to the right.

The moment he stepped on the right side, the tip of the spear wrapped in cloth pierced the air and stabbed straight towards Ogata.

Ogata's step just now was actually just a fake move to lure Qiuyue to make a move.

After Qiuyue sent the spear point out, Xu conveniently quickly retracted the half-step he had taken, and then, as if he had accurately measured it, he perfectly avoided Qiuyue's stabbing, and the dodge distance was neither more nor less.

Immediately afterwards, Ogata began to step forward, as if trying to narrow the distance between himself and Qiuyue.

But just a few steps forward, Ogata encountered exactly the same thing as in the palace just now-Qiuyue quickly stepped back half a step, then shook the spear, and the spear in his hand turned into a poisonous snake, wrapped in an astonishing momentum, biting towards Ogata.

This time, Ogata did not dodge.

Instead, the wooden knife in Huo Huo's hand slashed at the tip of the wooden spear that was within his attack range.

Wuwu Two Swords Style · Blade Against!

Ogata's blade collided with Qiuyue's spear tip, and then forced Qiuyue's spear to deviate from its original trajectory.

The impact of the collision between the knife and the gun was transmitted to the palms along the barrel of the gun, causing a bit of surprise to appear on Qiuyue's face.

Later, this bit of surprise turned into a stronger fighting spirit, which made Qiuyue feel refreshed.

After taking another half step back and putting more distance between herself and Ogata, Qiuyue changed her tactics.

Instead of stabbing, he began to slash.

The spear turned into a "long whip" and swung towards Ogata heavily.

After Ogata retreated 2 steps to avoid him, Qiuyue stepped forward relentlessly, narrowing the distance that had been opened due to Ogata's retreat again, and then swept the spear forward again, chopping at Ogata.

Boom!

Ogata did not choose to dodge this time, but used the blade again to block Qiuyue's spear.

The moment the gun in her hand was blocked, Qiuyue quickly adjusted her posture, and then continued to attack Qiuyue.

No matter whether it was the fake action at the beginning, or the subsequent step towards Qiuyue, Ogata was testing Qiuyue.

After simple probing, Ogata already had a simple understanding of Qiuyue's skills.

Seeing that Qiuyue changed her fighting style, instead of stabbing him, she used slashing to deal with him, Xu conveniently found that Qiuyue was different from those who used long spears as weapons he had encountered before.

The people Ogata met before who used long spears as weapons... In layman's terms, they all took the "agile" route, and their attack methods were mainly stabbing.

But Qiuyue is not like this.

Qiuyue is taking the "strength" route, and her attack method is mainly chopping.

Compared with stabbing, Qiuyue's slashing is obviously more powerful, faster, and more skillful.

Powerful and destructive—the above words are perfect to describe Qiuyue's attack.

Qiuyue's attack method is especially suitable for use on the battlefield - just relying on Qiuyue's arm strength, a sweep forward will surely be able to easily sweep away a few miscellaneous soldiers.

After blocking the spear that Qiuyue swept away again, Ogata couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

——A person with a large attack distance is really stupid...

In terms of height, Qiu Yueguang was 20 centimeters taller than Ogata, not to mention the difference in the length of the weapon.

Its attack range is many times wider than that of Ogata.

Even Ogata can't violate the iron law of "Unless in certain specific occasions, people with a long attack distance will take advantage of the battle".

Qiuyue can stand far away where Ogata can't cut him, and launch continuous attacks on Ogata, but Ogata can't even touch Qiuyue.

Usually, Ogata, who has long hands and feet, uses Da Shitian, which is longer than ordinary swords, to bully opponents who are generally not as tall as him.

Ogata didn't even know when he was reduced to the "short hands and short feet" last time.

For a person of average skill, in the face of such a battle with a huge difference in attack distance, I am afraid that I don't know how to make a move.

——Qiuyue's fighting style is really like that "demon monk"...

The extremely burly figure who had already been killed by his sword resurfaced in Ogata's mind uncontrollably.

Although the battle with the "demon monk" made Ogata suffer a lot.

But what I have to admit is that Ogata has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with opponents who use long weapons through the battle with the "demon monk".

In the death fight with the "Demon Monk", Ogata figured out a tried-and-tested method against opponents wielding long weapons.

Ogata took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing.

Then narrow your eyes slightly and concentrate.

Ahead, Qiuyue swung the spear in her hand again, and the spear drew a beautiful arc from bottom right to top left.

Ogata clenched the wooden knife in his hand, and switched to the upper stance.

After Qiuyue's spear entered the best position, Ogata swung the knife in his hand violently.

Sakakibara's sword flow and water fall.

The target - the tip of the spear!

Among the 4 moves of Sakakibara Issou-style sword skills, which move can cause the greatest damage to the opponent, it is undoubtedly the bird stab.

Bird stabbing is a stabbing technique, and stabbing is more likely to cause fatal injuries to the human body than slashing.

But if it's about which move has the most power, it's without a doubt Waterfall.

After all, Shuiliu is a top-to-bottom slashing technique, which can easily use the strength of the whole body.

Boom!

It was much louder than any collision sound just now, and the sound exploded.

Ogata, who used the water to fall, accurately cut the tip of Mid-Autumn Moon's spear from the side with the blade of his wooden knife.

The two only touched for a moment, and Qiuyue's spear was bounced away.

And it's not just popping off.

It was the kind of spear that bounced off as if it was about to fly out of Qiuyue's hand.

Qiuyue also opened the door to Buddhism.

The tried-and-true method that Ogata found out from the "demon monk" to deal with enemies who use long weapons is to directly use brute force to block their weapons, so that they have a flaw that is big enough to allow him to get close.

In the next moment when the water fell to split Qiuyue's knife, Ogata stepped on his back foot, fully activated his 18 points of agility, and rushed straight towards Qiuyue at the highest speed he could achieve so far.

In the blink of an eye, Xu conveniently shortened the distance between him and Qiuyue.

When the spear in her hand was bounced off, a look of astonishment and shock appeared on Qiuyue's face.

After Ogata rushed towards Qiuyue like an arrow leaving the string, Qiuyue retreated quickly, trying to distance herself from Ogata.

While widening the distance, he tried to adjust his posture and launched a counterattack against Ogata.

It's a pity - it's too late.

Ogata's speed was too fast, so fast that Qiuyue had no time to regain her posture.

Ogata quickly rushed into the range where his wooden knife could touch Qiuyue, and then raised the wooden knife in his hand.

The tip of the knife was firmly pressed against Qiuyue's throat.

Qiuyue, the dozen or so subordinates brought by Qiuyue, and even the masters and apprentices of the Baosheng Sword Gym, now looked at Ogata who had successfully smashed the spear with a sword in shock.

As for Ogata, who is the person involved——

——Wearing the armor will still slow down my movements... If I didn't wear the armor, my speed just now could be faster.

He was silently carrying out the feeling that if Qiuyue and others knew the specific content, they might be so shocked that they would stare off their eyes...
