I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest URL: "Ah! Lord Sawaiemon has been defeated!"

"Quick! Hurry up and save Zaemon-sama!"

"There are others, follow me!"

...

With such a tall and strong body, Yoshiemon was naturally one of the most conspicuous presences in the audience.

Therefore, naturally many people witnessed the defeat of Saeemon right away.

Very few people intend to save Yoshiemon - of course, only very few people.

The total number...is only about 5 or 6 people.

The rest of the people only tried their best to flee in a direction where Ogata could not be seen after seeing Sawaiemon's defeat so quickly.

Those 5 or 6 people who tried to rush up to rescue Yoshiemon, it is naturally impossible for them to have the ability to rescue Yoshiemon. They just rushed into the range of Ogata's attack, and they were lightly relieved by Ogata They all fell to the ground loosely.

For those who dare to approach him, Ogata has always been willing to come.

If one comes, one will be killed, and if one pair comes, one will be killed.

The woods at this time can be regarded as a true interpretation of what is meant by "thousands of galloping horses".

Although it is not a "horse" that is galloping now, but a "person". .

Be it the musketeers or the ninjas of Iga, neither lacked rigorous training.

The instructor of the former is a professional officer hired from the army of England, while the latter, as a ninja, naturally has a lot of training.

But their performance seems to be worse than the more than one hundred guards in Matsudaira Gennai.

The guards of Matsudaira Gennai are the last soldiers in the battle to defend Matsudaira Gennai.

At this time, the musketeers and Iga ninjas of the Toyotomi Army only suffered less than 20% casualties, and they were defeated across the board.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the guards in Matsudaira Gennai are more elite, but this account cannot be calculated that way.

When Ogata fought against the guards of Matsudaira Gennai in a bloody battle, in the middle and late stages of the battle, his body was covered with bruises.

He couldn't even stand upright, he looked like he was dying, and he might fall down at any time. Inspired by the huge rewards in Matsudaira Gennai and the brainwashing of Bushido, his guards always had the feeling of "this man is dying! I have a chance to kill him!" illusion.

It was this illusion that supported the guards of Matsudaira Gennai to fight to the last person, and there were very few escaped.

And what kind of situation are the musketeers and Iga ninjas of the Toyotomi Army facing?

Ogata was still holding a big living person in his arms, but his movements were still as fast as flying.

In the case of holding people in one hand and holding a knife in the other, they can be killed like chopping melons and vegetables.

More than 200 people on my side launched rounds of shooting at him, but the bullets fired were either dodged or bounced off with knives.

Until now, Ogata was unscathed, and a few powerful people appeared to reinforce Ogata. The commanders on his side were almost killed, and no one could command them again.

May I ask—after witnessing such a situation with your own eyes, what fighting spirit do you still have? What fighting spirit do you have?

The hundreds of musketeers and Iga ninjas who were still alive scattered into countless strands and fled in different directions.

Ogata did not pursue those fleeing in all directions.

One reason is because the enemy is scattered into so many groups, even with the help of Yuan Yi and the others, he cannot catch up.

Secondly, it is because there is no point in chasing and killing these little people.

"Uh...uh..."

With both arms chopped off, Yoshiemon fell to his knees with a face full of pain.

Ogata has been carefully observing Saeemon's injuries.

Red shreds of meat slowly emerged from the large wound on Yoshiemon's body and shoulders.

The recovery speed of red shredded meat is extremely slow.

After a while, all the wounds on the body including the shoulders were healed.

Perhaps it was due to excessive blood loss, but Yoshiemon's face and lips were terribly pale.

Ogata glanced at Saemon's bare shoulders that no longer had arms hanging from them.

"...It seems that you haven't grown a new pair of arms. Compared with before, the speed of your wound repair has slowed down a lot. It seems that after killing you enough, the speed of your wound repair will really increase. It's getting slower and slower."

Just now, when Yoshiemon risked his life to buy time for the musketeers to regroup, Ogata had already noticed that the wounds on Yoshiemon's body were recovering more and more slowly.

And now, it has been truly verified.

With both arms gone, the game is over - but Yoshiemon's eyes did not completely lose any sparkle.

He raised his head, glared at Ogata viciously, then jumped up violently, and jumped towards his big naginata that fell beside him.

While jumping high, he threw his head back hard.

He intends to kill himself by smashing his head against the blade of the naginata.

Yoshiemon's plan worked out beautifully.

But the success of his plan depends on whether his speed can be faster than Ogata's reaction speed.

Can Yoshiemon's speed be faster than Ogata's current reaction speed?

Isn't the problem obvious...

Boom!

As soon as Yoshiemon jumped up, Ogata flew up and kicked Yoshiemon's belly forcefully, kicking Yoshiemon several steps away, and his huge body finally landed on the ground.

"Ahhh..."

Yoshiemon's screams had just had time to utter a few syllables, and Suomo came to Saemon with a lunge, and raised his hand to strike Yoshiemon's neck hard, so that the Yoshiemon had not had time to shout in the future The scream was swallowed back into his stomach, and then he rolled his eyes and passed out.

After dealing with the left and right guards, Ogata looked up to his left and right.

The surrounding area, which has been noisy since the beginning of the battle, finally calmed down now.

The musketeers and Iga ninjas who are still alive are basically gone now.

"Ayi!"

"Master Yi Dao Zhai!"

"Ogata-kun!"

"Brother Ogata!"

All kinds of shouts came from Xufang's side to his ears at this moment.

Too many things happened tonight.

At this moment, after going through all kinds of hardships, he finally saw these familiar faces, and what he felt made Ogata feel really mixed feelings.

"Are none of you injured?" He asked in a loud voice to A-cho and the others who were running towards him.

Ogata knew in his heart that the series of things he encountered tonight were far from being able to draw a satisfactory conclusion.

But after seeing the people who were running towards him at a fast pace, Ogata still had an uncontrollable smile of relief on his face.

...

...

"Hoo...! Hoo...! Hoo...!"

"Hey, where are we now?"

"Who knows! In short, the farther you run, the better!"

The three Iga ninjas looked back at the battlefield where there was almost no sound coming from behind them, and they fled to the southwest in a panic.

One of them accidentally fell to the ground because he was running too fast, and his body was covered in mud, and his nosebleeds flowed down his nostrils, but he just casually wiped the bleeding nostrils, and then continued to run forward. He didn't even dare to stop and pat the dust off his body.

The physical strength of the three of them was almost the same, so they exhausted their physical strength almost at the same time.

The three people supported the big tree next to them without any image, opened their mouths wide, and forcefully swallowed the fresh air around them.

After a long while, they barely managed to straighten out their breathing, barely allowing their mouths to speak again.

"Escape to...ha...here...ha...should be enough...ha...ha..."

"Escaping... ha... so far... ha... that Shura... shouldn't be able to... ha... chase us all the way... ha... chase after us... ha... ..."

"A little... ha... sit down and rest for a while..." Someone leaned against the big tree behind him without looking, and sat down on the ground, "I'm... not even an inch..."

"You three...what are you doing here?"

A voice reminiscent of severe winter ice and snow suddenly sounded from above the heads of the three of them.

The three people who were leaning against the tree to rest, all froze and stared as if struck by lightning.

They hurriedly followed the sound and raised their heads - in the leaves of a certain big tree above their heads stood an old man who was probably the most familiar old man in the whole world to them Iga ninjas.

"Master Jijiu!"*3

The three people, whose cheeks turned pale, hurriedly fell to the ground, kneeling and saluting to the old man who was standing on the tree.

The old man standing on the tree at this time was Ji Jiu who was almost defeated by Gen Yi not long ago and escaped from Longshui Temple due to good luck.

After escaping from Ryusui Temple, Yoshihisa first managed to gather the remaining ninjas who escaped from Ryusui Temple, and let these ninjas go to the 9th, 12th, 13th, and 15th groups currently scattered around Osaka. The Banzu sent the order "Ryusui Temple is invaded, stand by and be alert", and then went to the northwest of Osaka in person, intending to join the army headed by Saemon.

At that time, with a large army to rely on, whether it is trying to take back Longshui Temple, or standing still and watching the changes, you can take it easy.

But who knows—after arriving in the northwest of Osaka, the army did not find it, but instead found three subordinates who were fleeing in a hurry.

An ominous premonition emerged from the bottom of Ji Jiu's heart.

Yoshihisa made a wrong step, jumped down from the tree, and landed firmly in front of the three ninjas whose breathing became even more rapid than when they stopped to rest.

"What happened?" Ji Jiu asked in a stern tone.

The fear of Yoshihisa is engraved in the bone marrow of every Iga ninja.

As soon as Jijiu's voice fell, the three ninjas hurriedly told Jijiu everything they had witnessed and encountered personally.

From the moment they discovered the traces of Ogata, all the way they talked about how they were defeated by Ogata, who was still in a coma one moment, but became like a warrior in the next moment.

After listening to the narration of these three ninjas, Jijiu's expression immediately became... extremely difficult to describe with a single word.

Pour a pot of hot water on his face, and feel that the pot of hot water will immediately turn into ice water, and the water stains left on his cheeks will turn into ice scum—this is Ji Jiu's face and expression now.

"So... you mean: the army has been completely defeated by Ogata Isai Tosai?"

The 3 ninjas nodded like pounding garlic.

"What about Saemon?!" Yoshihisa raised his voice several times in one breath, "Where is Saemon now?"

"I, I didn't see where Saemon-sama went..."

"I only saw Saemon-sama fleeing to the northeast... As for what happened to him after that... I don't know..."

Two of them muttered like this.

After hesitating for a while, only one person said:

"I... saw Zaemon-sama..."

"He was caught up by Shura..."

"Shura easily defeated Yoshiemon-sama."

"Master Yoshiemon's arms were cut off by Shura..."

"As for what happened afterwards... I don't know..."

The behavior of the three of them fleeing from the battlefield was an indisputable escape.

Regarding how to deal with escapees, Iga no Sato has always had a very complete set of punishment methods.

With a guilty conscience, they buried their heads down from the beginning to the end, not daring to look up at Ji Jiu.

They only heard... since just now, there have been the "squeak" sound of the palm being grasped forcefully, and the "click" sound of the knuckles of the fingers rubbing against each other...

These sounds, like heavy hammers, hit their hearts, making their heartbeats speed up uncontrollably, and cold sweat broke out uncontrollably from the skin all over their bodies.

The body of one of them even trembled slightly due to fear at this moment...

But just when they were all mentally prepared to be severely punished by Ji Jiu——

"...all of you keep your heads up."

The sound of grasping palms, as well as the sound of joints rubbing, stopped at this moment.

The three of them, with faint astonishment on their faces, looked at each other quietly.

"I'll ask you all to raise your heads!" Ji Jiu's voice rose sharply.

"Yes, yes!"*3

The three people raised their heads and saw a face looking down at them expressionlessly.

"You fled the battle and should have been severely punished."

Ji Jiu's voice was neither urgent nor slow, neither high nor low.

"However, it was the misjudgment of the enemy's strength that led to the corruption of the battle situation, not because you were not brave enough."

"Therefore, your escape is justifiable."

"So I won't give you heavy punishments. Change the heavy punishments to small ones. As for the specific punishments, we will talk about them later."

Jijiu's simple words made the faces of the three of them change from cloudy to sunny like a magic trick.

Before the three of them had time to express their thanks, Jijiu continued:

"Get up quickly. I have a new task for you now."

"Follow me to find and gather all the remnants."

"As many people as you can gather, you can gather as many people as you can."

After hearing Ji Jiu's words, a certain person was startled, and then couldn't help asking back:

"Master Jijiu, are we... are we going to fight back and fight Shura again?"

As soon as the words fell, the bodies of the other two people trembled slightly.

"……No."

Ji Jiu sighed heavily.

"The Musketeers suffered heavy casualties, and if we continue to fight with Ogata Yidaosai... there is almost no chance of winning."

"The whole army will withdraw from Osaka first, then retreat to Mount Koya, and join Lord Toyotomi and the army that Lord Toyotomi has arranged in Mount Koya!"

"After reuniting with Master Toyotomi, we will discuss it in the long run!"

"But... in this way..." The other person couldn't help but said this time, "our tonight's "Osaka Spring Formation and Discussion Operation"...wouldn't it be a failure...?"

"Half failed." Jijiu corrected, "We have perfectly completed the goal of completely paralyzing the administrative capacity of Osaka Prefecture in the Osaka Spring Formation."

"It's just that the battle to discuss emotions has failed."

"It's not up to you juniors to worry about this matter."

"I will explain it to Mr. Toyotomi later."

"Stop talking nonsense here, stand up quickly and join me to gather the remnants."

"Yes, yes!"*3

...

...

Osaka, the Buddhist temple where A-machi, Genichi and the others hid before—

"How? Is the linen still tied tightly?" A Zhu gently pulled the linen wrapped around Shimada's leg wound.

Just now, Shimada said to A Zhu: The sackcloth on his leg was tied a little tight, and asked A Zhu to help him re-tie it.

"Hmm...it's much better, thank you." After Shimada cast a grateful look at Azhu, he moved his body slightly and changed to a more comfortable lying position.

After helping Shimada re-tie the burlap on his legs, Azhu turned his head and looked at his side, which was scalded by the fire wave of the explosion just now, with one hand, leaning against the window while hugging him, and kept peeping at the shallow well outside the window.

"How is it?" A Zhu asked, "Miss A Machi and the others are back?"

With a slightly weak tone, Asai replied straightforwardly and concisely: "No."

"Ah... my back hurts..."

At this time, an old moan sounded from Azhu's side.

"Master Feng...do you want me to rub your lower back for you?"

"No need..." Fumo was lying beside Azhu in a strange posture, "This is my old problem... just lie down for a while, and the pain won't go away... ah... it hurts... it hurts... "

"If it still hurts after that, you can call me. If I rub your waist for you, your waist should feel better."

"Well, thank you... Azuki, you are such a good boy..."

"No need to say that, after all, apart from these, I don't have anything else to do..."

After a few dry laughs, A Zhu's attention was suddenly attracted by a group of conversations next to him——

"Miss Chuguang, I'm really sorry for you..."

"What's wrong? Suddenly apologize to me?"

"When you decided to blow Jijiu and the others to the sky, didn't you give me the task of staying outside Longshui Temple, ready to meet you at any time..."

"Well, what then?"

"Then I have been waiting for you outside the Longshui Temple, but I have not been able to wait for you to come out... I wondered if something happened to you..."

"You guessed right, something happened to me."

"Then I thought: I might as well rush in to find you. But I only have the courage to dream, not the courage to practice... I kept clamoring in my heart to rush in to find you, but I couldn't move my feet... just kept going like this After dawdling in the monastery and making strange noises, I finally mustered up the courage to enter the monastery..."

"Haha, it's okay. I'm already very touched by your desire to save me. And, look - didn't you manage to muster up the courage in the end to come to Longshui Temple to find me? You are already braver than many people."

Azhu turned his head to look at the owner of this group of conversations - a man and a woman who were shrinking in the corner.

This man and a woman are exactly Chuguang and Shibata.

Shibata drooped his head in frustration.

On the other hand, Chuguang smiled gently, and patted Shibata's head with gentle movements like soothing a puppy.

Looking at this man and a woman...to be precise, when he was looking at Chuguang, Azhu immediately showed...a look of intense hesitation.

After taking a few glances at Chuguang, Azhu hastily withdrew his gaze.

But then, he couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Chuguang.

After repeating this several times, she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, stood up abruptly, and strode towards Chuguang.

"That, that..."

Ash's voice trembled.

In her tone, there was an uncontrollable mix of excitement, tension... and other complex emotions.

"Excuse me... are you Ajiu?"

Azuki's sentence is a rhetorical question.

"You are Ajiu, right?"

Immediately after the rhetorical question just now, there was a shout that seemed to pour out the emotions that had been accumulated in the body for many years in one breath.
