I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

In the sky, the lightning and the sound of the waves echo each other, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, like a majestic symphony.

The strong wind and heavy rain made the sea show its ferocious and fierce side.

Under the extremely low cloud cover, the original calm of the sea has disappeared, and the gusts of wind one after another set off waves that are higher than the waves.

Under the halo of the gloomy sky, the undulating waves, like black dragons, roared and rolled on the sea surface, splashing countless water splashes.

The water splashed high, and then sprinkled on the decks of the two ships Rihuiwan and Huluwan.

Toyotomi Nobuhide doesn't like to wear wakizashi, he only wears his favorite sword - Yoshimitsu bone food on weekdays.

It was the sword with a purple handle and black sheath that Toyotomi Nobuhide wore around his left waist all the time.

This sword is one of the Tibetan swords owned by Hideyoshi, the ancestor of Toyotomi.

About a hundred years ago, a generation of ancestors of Toyotomi Nobuhide spent a lot of money to retrieve this saber that Toyotomi had always been proud of. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and has been passed down to Toyotomi Nobuhide's generation.

Toyotomi Nobuhide has always loved this auspicious light bone food.

At the beginning, when he was about to take away all the belongings in the family and leave home to explore the road to revive Toyotomi, Toyotomi Nobuhide took this lucky bone food away immediately.

At this moment, Toyotomi Nobuhide supported Yoshimitsu on his waist, and stood expressionlessly on the bow of the flagship Hikimaru, despite the strong wind and waves, he stood still.

Behind Toyotomi Nobuhide are countless sailors who are taking their positions and performing their duties. .

The sailors on the second ship, Niki Maru and Hulu Maru, were all high-quality talents who were able to skillfully control the ship after paying a lot of money by Toyotomi Nobuhide and inviting the instructors from England to undergo strict training.

"Lord Toyotomi."

At this time, his "Governor of the Fleet" Kasube walked slowly towards Toyotomi Nobuhide from behind him.

"What are you doing here? It's dangerous to stand here. The waves are relatively high now. Be careful not to be swept away by the waves."

"I won't be defeated by mere waves." Toyotomi Nobuhide smiled, "I'm... just remembering the death of the woman who has been confirmed dead, and the left and right door who may be dead now."

"It's been busy since noon today."

"And now, I finally have the time to cherish the memory of the two of them."

"Although both of them have many flaws and deficiencies... But they are also veterans who have followed me for a long time."

"It's a pity...to never see them again."

Although he said "regret", Toyotomi Nobuhide had no expression on his face from the beginning to the end, making it difficult to see Toyotomi Nobuhide's current true emotions.

He Xufeng was startled at first, and then his expression gradually became sad.

"Saemon...it's such a pity..."

Except for Toyotomi Nobuhide himself, no one in the whole Toyotomi family is close to her, that crazy woman, including He Xufeng.

Although Kasufeng is not familiar with Lao Furen, she has a very good relationship with Saeemon.

Toyotomi Nobuhide took a deep breath slowly, and then exhaled the air he had just inhaled in one breath.

"Okay, now let's talk about business."

He turned to look at He Xufeng behind him.

"How is the current sailing situation of the ship?"

"Master Toyotomi, our luck is a little bit bad." Kasube reported to Nobuhide Toyotomi regretfully, "The wind is unwilling to cooperate with us. We are now going against the wind, and the speed is a little slow."

"It doesn't matter." Toyotomi Nobuhide smiled, "As long as the ship can sail normally."

Although the rain and wind and waves were heavy at this time, they were far from affecting the navigation of the two ships, Rihuiwan and Huluwan.

The second ship sailed to the depths of the sea in an orderly manner following the command of He Xufeng.

"He Xufeng,

The sailing is up to you. Nobuhide Toyotomi stood at the bow of the boat and enjoyed the sea view for a while, then put his hands behind his back, "I'm going back to the cabin to rest for a while. "

"Call me when you arrive in the waters of Osaka, or when something special happens."

"Yes!" Kasufeng, who had been looking forward to using the ship cannon to blow up Osaka Castle, echoed loudly.

The reason why Kasube was reused by Toyotomi Nobuhide is partly because of Kazube's character of loving shells and bombing, which is very popular with Toyotomi Nobuhide.

Although Toyotomi Nobuhide's next goal is to launch the "Edo Battle", the order of doing things must not be messed up after all.

Before officially heading to Edo, I still have to finish last night's "Osaka Spring Array" - blasting the Osaka Castle in Osaka into ruins with naval guns.

Now, Toyotomi's troops have basically withdrawn from Osaka, and naval guns can be fired at will.

The reason why Toyotomi Nobuhide intends to use naval guns to smash Osaka Castle to pieces is not only because of revenge, but also because he wants the Edo Shogunate, which destroyed Toyotomi's Osaka Castle two hundred years ago, to lose their Osaka Castle. It is because Toyotomi Nobuhide wants to show off his muscles.

And this is the main reason why Toyotomi Nobuhide decided to destroy Osaka Castle with naval guns.

Let the Edo shogunate and all the vassals across the country see the strength of their Toyotomi clan.

Such a majestic Osaka City, under the salvo of his naval guns, has only one fate: to be torn to pieces like paper.

Osaka is adjacent to Kii. If you sail normally, you will probably be able to arrive late at night today.

But it's a pity—the current wind direction is against the wind, and it may not be able to reach the waters of Osaka until tomorrow morning.

However, Toyotomi Nobuhide didn't care about this - it didn't make any difference to him whether he arrived in the waters of Osaka late at night or waited until tomorrow morning.

After giving Kasube the order "I leave the navigation to you", Toyotomi Nobuhide was about to turn around and return to the cabin.

But at this moment——

"Whoa! Whoa whoa—!"

Not far away, there was a sound of vomiting that made people feel physically uncomfortable just listening to the sound.

Toyotomi Nobuhide followed the sound and smiled.

"Kikutaro, aren't you used to taking a boat?"

Toyotomi Nobuhide strode towards the ninja he "taken in" after Shiranui was wiped out, who was lying on the side of the ship not far away, with his head sticking out of the side of the ship, vomiting profusely.

"Master Toyotomi..."

Hearing Toyotomi Nobuhide's voice, Kikutaro, who was pale due to seasickness and felt his stomach was overwhelmed, quickly suppressed his vomit and prepared to salute Toyotomi Nobuhide.

Toyotomi Nobuhide waved his hand, motioning him to excuse himself.

"Sorry...Master Toyotomi...I made you laugh..." Kikutaro smiled with Toyotomi Nobuhide, "I haven't been on a boat much..."

"It's okay, it's normal." Toyotomi Nobuhide waved his hands proudly, "I was also very embarrassed when I took the boat for the first time."

After all, Toyotomi Nobuhide lowered his eyes, and looked at Kikutaro's face with an intriguing gaze.

"... Kikutaro, you don't seem to be in a particularly good mood."

Toyotomi Nobuhide casually leaned against the railing next to him.

"What? Do you still mind my order to let you lead people to burn Mount Koya?"

"No, no, no!" Kikutaro said anxiously with a look of horror in his pupils, "I have no complaints about your order!"

Kikutaro hastily explained.

After looking at Kikutaro with interested eyes for a while, Toyotomi Nobuhide said leisurely:

"Kikutaro, it's just burning Koyasan, there is no need to feel guilty."

"Those so-called Buddha statues are, after all, just a piece of wood."

"I have grown up so much, I have never seen any gods and Buddhas popping out of any Buddha statue."

"I've never seen any divine punishment."

"God's punishment or something is just to comfort the weak who are being oppressed."

Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his hand and patted Kikutarou on the shoulder with a smile.

"Only by telling the oppressed and weak that those wicked people who have done bad things will one day receive retribution, can the grievance and unwillingness in the hearts of the weak be healed."

"That's why there are such messy things as 'divine punishment' and 'wicked people will go to hell after death, and good people can enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss after death'."

After finishing speaking, Toyotomi Nobuhide patted Kikutaro on the shoulder again, and then let his body leave the railing he had been leaning on just now.

He just stood up straight though—

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa—!"

Not far away, there was another sound of vomiting that made people feel physically uncomfortable just listening to it.

"...Master, this is not the first time you have been on a ship, why are you still so prone to seasickness?"

With his hands behind his back, Toyotomi Nobuhide walked towards Sengen-sama who was lying on the opposite side of Kikutarou, vomiting at the sea with a wry smile.

"Sorry...Master Toyotomi." The emaciated Master Xianyuan wiped his mouth, "I made you laugh..."

"Don't stay on the deck." Toyotomi Nobuhide said, "You must be tired after narrowly escaping Koyasan. Go back to the cabin early to rest."

"To escape from Ogata Yidaosai's sword, I'm really exhausted... vomit!" Master Xianyuan poked his head out of the ship's side again after mocking himself bitterly.

After encountering Ogata Yidao Zhai in front of the temple gate of Xianyuan Temple, Master Xianyuan opened it... He felt that every time he thought about it for the rest of his life, he might sweat a short escape trip.

He took advantage of his familiarity with Mount Koya and the cover of the tribe who was lurking in Xianyuan Temple at that time, to escape desperately, escape desperately...

Should I say it was luck, or should I say that the hard work was not in vain... He successfully escaped from Ogata's sword, and then successfully joined the Toyotomi clan's tribe, and successfully returned to Toyotomi Nobuhide's side.

"If you still feel uncomfortable, go to the doctor and ask for some medicine." Toyotomi Nobuhide said, "After taking the medicine, you should feel better."

"I feel fine now... I don't need to take medicine yet... Vomit!"

Master Xianyuan poked his head out of the ship's side again.

When Master Xianyuan vomited some more bile, and then slowly raised and retracted his head protruding from the side of the ship, the corners of his eyes suddenly jumped.

"...Master Toyotomi."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Master Xianyuan stretched out his finger and pointed to the sea surface in front of him.

"There... seems to be something..."

"Something?" Toyotomi Nobuhide frowned slowly, and then hurriedly looked in the direction Master Xianyuan pointed.

I saw a black spot floating on the sea surface between the second ship and the distant coast.

This black spot seemed to be alive, and it was drifting towards the direction of the second ship at an unhurried speed.

The current rain is very dense, because the dark clouds are very dense, so the light is extremely poor. Even Toyotomi Nobuhide, who has the "immortality power" in his body and his five senses are far superior to ordinary people, it is difficult to see the mass of objects floating on the sea. What.

At this time, the rest of the people on the ship also discovered the unknown object one after another.

"Hey! Look, what's that?"

"It seems to be drifting towards us..."

"Is it some animal carcass floating on the sea?"

...

He Xufeng, the "Governor of the Fleet", also rushed to the side of the ship when he heard the news, took out his binoculars, and took a closer look at the unknown object.

However, the dense rain also prevented He Xufeng from seeing the true appearance of the object.

The moving speed of the "unidentified object" is faster than that of the second ship sailing against the wind.

Thanks to this—the distance between Toyotomi Nobuhide and the object is getting shorter and shorter.

Toyotomi Nobuhide put his hands on the railing of the ship's side, and looked carefully at the "unidentified object" whose shape and appearance became more and more clear as the distance between them became closer and closer.

Finally, under the action of the "power of immortality", Nobuhide Toyotomi, who has excellent eyesight, was the first to see clearly what this "unidentified object" was.

It was a big wooden board being hugged by several people...

Those people hugged the big board and swam straight towards them...

"……sharp."

Toyotomi Nobuhide's expression suddenly sank.

"I was able to catch up here..."

"He Xufeng!"

"exist!"

Kasube not far away hurried to Toyotomi Nobuhide's side.

"Send an order to the entire fleet—" Toyotomi Nobuhide pointed to the people in the distance who were holding the plank and swimming straight towards them, "Ready for shelling!"

...

...

"Is that the battleship of the English country..." Mucun, who was clasping his hands on the wooden board, looked at the second ship that was getting closer and closer with a dazed look. I don't think it's huge, but now that I've looked closely...the size is really incredible..."

"This size can only be considered ordinary on the Europa Continent." Genichi, lying next to Mucun, wrote lightly, "If I remember correctly, the largest warship on the Europa Continent is the Spanish 'Holy Trinity' ’, even larger than these two ships, with 4 decks and more than 140 artillery pieces, it is undoubtedly a mobile 'sea fort'."

"Master Yuan, how do you know so clearly? Could it be that you have seen that ship before when you wandered around the continent of Europa?"

"I haven't seen it. I heard these things when I was traveling in England."

"If you want to chat, let's talk slowly later." Jian Gong on the side said at this time, "The waves are very big now, so be careful not to let the waves hit your mouth, causing you to choke."

Mamiya did not put both hands on the board like Genichi and Mucun did. Instead, he held the board with his left hand and a wooden post used as a raft in his right hand. Use the pillars to fiddle with the sea water behind them, fine-tuning their direction and assisting their progress.

"Look!" Suddenly, Chu Guang, who was in the center of the plank, said coldly, "There is movement on the ship!"

As soon as Chu Guang finished speaking, Yuan Yi and the others hurriedly raised their hands and looked at the second ship ahead.

I saw that the neatly arranged muzzles on the belly of the second ship were opened one by one.

As the muzzles unfolded, the black muzzles revealed their ferocious faces...

"Be careful! The bombardment is coming!" After shouting so loudly, Genichi buried his head as low as possible.

Jiangong and the others followed closely behind, lowering their heads and squeezing out the last bit of strength in their bodies at the same time, vigorously kicking the sea water behind them, further speeding up the speed of swimming towards the nearest battleship - Huluwan.

As if he wanted to match Yuan Yi's sentence "The bombardment is coming" just now, as soon as Yuan Yi's reminder fell, the muzzle of the second ship's belly roared at the same time.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom……

Flames are flickering, smoke is spreading.

Because the coast where Genichi and the others were just now happened to be facing the midship of the second ship, Genichi and the others, who desperately needed to walk the shortest distance and reach the second ship at the fastest speed, had to walk straight towards the second ship. The belly of the ship set out.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the two flanks of the sailing battleship are the most dangerous positions.

Because all the artillery of the sailing battleship are neatly assembled on the two flanks of the ship, if you stand directly facing the belly of the ship, the naval guns loaded on the belly of the ship can be used to bombard you.

The sound of the shells coming out of the chamber adds a new accompaniment to the symphony composed of thunder, waves, and wind that is currently being performed.

Cannonballs whistled one after another, hitting Yuanyi and the others.

The cannonball flew towards Yuanichi and the others with giant footsteps, or over their heads, and hit the back of Yuanichi and the others, or hit the front or side of Yuanichi and the others.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! bang...

The water column was blown up as the shells fell.

The aroused waves and jets of water came towards Yuanyi and the others who were holding the wooden planks like fierce dragons.

Compared with these dragons, the boards under Yuan Yi and the others were as fragile as white paper that could be torn apart.

Several times, the boards under them were nearly toppled over.

But whenever the board was about to be overturned, Yuan Yi and the others would immediately put their weight on it so that the board would not be overturned by the ferocious "dragon".

While struggling to keep the board from being overturned, Genichi and the others continued to push the water vigorously, Mamiya continued to use the "raft" to adjust the course, and everyone continued to head straight for the second ship.

Rihuiwan and Huluwan both have 70 cannons.

The barrage from 140 artillery pieces - such firepower makes anyone who has a little knowledge of artillery feel shuddering.

The dense gunfire gradually suppressed the wind and thunder, and became the undoubted protagonist of the current "Symphony".

After more and more gunpowder burned, the black mist lingered around the second ship, making the second ship even more terrifying.

The shells landed beside Yuan Yi and the others one after another.

Often a wave came from the east, and before Yuan Yi and the others had time to stabilize the plank, another stronger wave came from the south.

But even so, Yuan Yi and the others still gritted their teeth, persisted, and continued to swim to the second ship despite the gunfire.

The artillery of this era is simply unable to shoot accurately, and can only fire at a certain general direction.

On land, artillery can't shoot accurately, let alone when the waves are rough... and it is still raining heavily, and the waves are even more surging on the sea. Compared with ships, bombarding with artillery is insignificant. The source of a pedestrian is like a leaf on the sea.

But——Toyotomi Nobuhide didn't hope that the artillery on their ship could accurately hit Yuanyi and them.

His original intention was to use the waves caused by the artillery falling into the sea to overturn Yuan Yi and the others into the sea.

Of course——it would be best if Yuan Yi and his party could be sent flying into the sky with one shot.

Standing on the side of Nichimaru's ship, looking at Genichi and the others who have been unable to throw them into the sea until now, Toyotomi Nobuhide is not in a hurry.

At this time, he only frowned silently, staring at the "uninvited guest" who was getting closer and closer to them on the sea.

He used his ass to think, and he knew who this group of people who appeared out of nowhere and swam straight towards them were.

He is only wondering now - how did Ogata Isai and the others know the location of his battleship?

Toyotomi Nobuhide thought about this question in his mind for a while, and then he found the answer.

"So it was you... Xuanzheng..."

A sneer appeared on Toyotomi Nobuhide's cheeks.

"Did you come to seek revenge on me..."

"This kind of person who is obsessed with academic research...is really difficult to serve..."

Toyotomi Nobuhide folded his hands resting on the railing of the ship, and put his back behind his back. The sneer on his face turned into a smile, and he watched, in his eyes, suffering from the intensive shelling. Minamoto who is struggling.

When he first saw this group of unexpected guests, Toyotomi Nobuhide was indeed a little surprised.

But after the astonishment, he quickly recovered his composure—he had full confidence in the two ships and the 140 artillery pieces he owned.

Such a distance, with 140 guns to bombard—there was always a moment when there was a big enough wave to overturn them, or be lucky enough to hit them and blast them to a pulp.

140 artillery pieces took turns to bombard them, but in the end they failed to overturn them into the sea before they reached the bottom of the ship-no reason!

Toyotomi Nobuhide, who thinks that he is completely invincible and sure to win, smiled and said in a somewhat comfortable tone:

"Ogata Yidao Zhai, Uncle...I can understand your anxiety to settle accounts with me and to get Xiao Lin back."

"But...anxiety is anxiety. When formulating a strategy, you have to stay calm."

"Holding the plank, swimming towards the two battleships with enough shells—this is really reckless...huh?"

Toyotomi Nobuhide suddenly stopped talking to himself.

The pleasant smile that originally hung on his face slowly disappeared.

Surprise and solemnity appeared in the pupils at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Because Minamoto and the others swam persistently towards the second ship, the distance between them kept getting closer. Just now, Toyotomi Nobuhide finally saw the faces of those people on the wooden board clearly through layers of rain.

an old man.

a pair of glasses.

A strong man.

A beautiful girl who looks familiar.

The above 4 people are all the people on the board.

Toyotomi Nobuhide looked around, from left to right, from right to left, but he couldn't see the face that he had seen countless times on the wanted notice on this wooden board.

A question was yelled out by Toyotomi Nobuhide in a startled tone:

——Where did Ogata Yidao Zhai go? !

...

...

At this very moment—

Gourd balls, under the belly of the boat——

"Ahem! Bah!"

Ogata opened his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of the fish that he had accidentally caught in his mouth when the waves slapped him just now.

"Ha...ha...ha..." Ogata, who was clinging to the bottom of the ship's belly to prevent himself from being swept away by the waves, panted heavily.

"Swimming such a long distance in this weather...for me now, it's too much for me..."

After teasing himself like this, Ogata raised his head and looked at the cannon muzzles above his head that were still roaring.

In the pupils of the eyes, a special light is flashing.
