I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Popular recommendation:

Ogata Isai Tosai, Kinoshita Genichi and their accomplices, as well as Shibata, a traitor who obviously betrayed him along with Chuguang... No matter what, Yoshihisa couldn't think of a reason to turn a blind eye to these people in front of him.

Yoshihisa was not at all surprised that Shibata was here—this person and Hatsumitsu had always been partners, and the sight of Shibata and Ogata's companions standing together was only within Yoshihisa's expectations.

For Yoshihisa, the most urgent thing right now is to rush back to Hikki Maru to help Toyotomi——There is no doubt about this.

If you jump back into the sea and swim back to Hikimaru without "cleaning up" the companions of Ogata Isai and Kinoshita Genichi on the shore, you will most likely be attacked from behind by these people.

Last night at Ryusui Temple in Osaka, Yoshihisa could see very clearly—the woman with a well-developed bear part and wearing a Shiranui Ri Ninja outfit had quite superb skills in using firearms and was able to launch long-distance precise shooting.

Although the current rain does not seem like the weather that can use firearms, but for the sake of caution, Yoshihisa decided to "clean up" all these companions of Ogata Isai and Kinoshita Genichi Only then can he safely jump back into the sea and rush back to Rihui Pill.

The enemy has drawn his weapon—no need to say more.

Standing at the forefront, Asai quietly put the knife in his hand to the upper right section, and put on a posture of showing off.

"Shimada, Shibata." He whispered to his companions behind him, "I'll be in charge of the frontal containment later, and the two of you will wait for opportunities to attack on the left and right sides."

"Ms. Azuki and... Ms. Acho. The two of you are responsible for standing at a distance to support."

"Miss Atachi, you have to cheer up, I will try my best to get you the best shooting opportunity."

When A-Machi's name was called, Asai especially emphasized his tone.

The attentive A-Machi naturally noticed the slight change in Asai's tone when she called her name.

Reminiscent of Asai's last sentence "I will try my best to get the best shooting opportunities for you", A-Machi nodded understandingly.

"Senior Asai, Senior Asai" At this time, after Asai had finished giving this series of instructions, Shimada, the "defeatist strategist", swallowed hard, "This guy...isn't the Iraqi who has the 'power of immortality' The leader of Kaori? Can we win?"

"Shimada." The corner of Asai's mouth curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face, "Do you know an ancient motto passed down from generation to generation in our Satsuma show?"

"When fighting with people, you don't need to think about winning or losing these messy things." Note? This is not the author's nonsense, Shi Xianliu does have such an old saying, don't care about winning or losing, attacking and other messy things, just cut it up

Having said that, Asai paused.

Take a deep breath.

Build up your energy.

Then, shouting in Satsuma dialect:

"It's okay to go hard!" (Translation: It's right to go hard!) People who understand Cantonese and can dub are welcome to dub this sentence, so that readers who don't understand Cantonese can understand Shimada and the others when they heard Asai When I said this Satsuma dialect, I felt so confused

[Note: The dialect of the Satsuma region of Japan is very different from the standard Japanese language. The difference between the two is similar to the difference between Wenzhou dialect and Mandarin. In order to allow you to understand the difference between the Satsuma dialect and standard Japanese more intuitively, this book decided to use the Cantonese that the author is more familiar with to express the Satsuma dialect]

After shouting "Take it hard" that no one at the scene understood, Asai, who didn't see any timidity on his face, raised his sword high, and rushed towards Jijiu fearlessly like one man guarding the gate!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

While rushing towards Yoshihisa, Asai opened his mouth wide, releasing the core technique in the showmanship: "monkey call".

The huge cry directly suppressed the surrounding wind, rain, and waves.

[Note. Ape call: a special qi harmony sound in Satsuma's manifestation flow,

The sound is loud and terrifying, and there are often some timid people who, when confronted with top-notch masters, are scared to pee their pants by the sound of the ape from the other side]

After Asai launched the charge, Shimada and Shibata couldn't help being stunned for a few moments before finally recovering, gritted their teeth, raised their weapons, and followed Asai to charge.

Listening to Asai's phrase "Take it hard" just now, and the classic "ape cry", Ji Jiu immediately recognized the identity of Asai Satsuma.

"Satsuma Hayato... Hmph, Satsuma's bravery is truly well-deserved." Looking at Asai who was attacking him, Jijiu raised his mouth slightly, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes looking at Asai.

【Note · Satsuma Hayato: A good name for the son of Satsuma. The Satsuma people are notoriously brave and aggressive. In the eyes of people in other parts of ancient Japan, the Satsuma people are the name of the fighting nation. This is one of the important reasons why the Edo shogunate has always been so afraid of the Satsuma clan]

Asai, who rushed straight forward while screaming "ape", was indeed full of momentum-but Yoshihisa, who had experienced many battles, immediately saw Asai's strong outside but capable inside.

Although Asai has been enduring the pain in the waist and abdomen, trying to make his movements look more normal, Yoshihisa can still see that Asai's waist and abdomen are not lightly injured at a glance.

At the same time, he also saw that Shimada had a leg injury.

—Among the 5 people, are 2 of them seriously injured...

The opponent in front of him is much weaker than Jijiu imagined....

However, Ji Jiu did not show any carelessness.

With a tense face and a solemn expression, Ji Jiu shook his hands, quickly assembled the gun in his palm, lowered his body's center of gravity, and took a stance.

With a flash of the white blade - after stepping into the distance where his own sword could hit Yoshihisa, Asai immediately took advantage of the momentum of the forward charge and slashed heavily at Yoshihisa's Tianling cover.

Although Yoshihisa had consumed a lot of stamina when he fought Genichi on Hikimaru and rescued Hatsumitsu in the sea, it was more than enough to deal with Asai who was already injured.

Ji Jiu dodges with an attack—dodges Qianjing's knife by half a step sideways, and launches a counterattack at the same time, flicking the end of the gun, hitting Qianjing's vitals.

Asai originally wanted to retreat and dodge, but Yoshihisa's blow was so fast that it was really hard to dodge.

In desperation, Asai could only retract the saber and stand it up, hold his breath, use all his strength, and prepare to take Yoshihisa's blow hard.

Although Asai has a handsome face and a very slender figure, he is actually a "powerful" swordsman just like Mucun.

He is obviously good at strength, but after Ji Jiu's spear butt hit his sword, his expression immediately changed drastically.

Asai felt as if a mad cow had bumped into him.

Both arms went numb immediately, and the blade of this expensive and good knife in his hand was slightly skewed by the smash. Asai hugged the knife that was kicked back, and retreated several steps before finally stopping the momentum of retreat.

It's normal for Asai to be unable to catch Yoshihisa's gun, but it's not normal if he catches it.

After all, the former is just an ordinary person with no extraordinary skills like Yuan Yi and Gamiya, and he still has injuries on his body, while the latter is a monster with "immortality" in his body.

Yoshiku wanted to make up a blow, which directly ended Asai's life, but fortunately - the swords of Shimada and Shibata came in time.

Although Shimada always looks shy because he has seen less of the storms of the world, but when fighting people, he does not lack blood and bravery at all.

Enduring the pain in his leg, he clenched his teeth and swung the knife into Ji Jiu's head from the road.

As Chuguang's follower, Shibata also suppressed his fear of his former "boss" at this time, and grasped his most powerful weapon: Wakizawa, and cooperated with Shimada to launch an attack on Yoshihisa.

Ji Jiu wanted to parry the attacks of these two people with the body of the gun, but when he just swung the short spear in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

Afterwards, he changed his tactics urgently, instead of parrying the attacks of Shimada and Yoshihisa, he jumped forward one after another, using dodge to defuse the attacks of Shimada and Shibata.

As soon as he jumped back, a loud gunshot suddenly exploded, and a scorching bullet wiped against the tip of Ji Jiu's nose who had just jumped back.

——That woman...does she still have a short gun that can be used in such a rainy day...

Jijiu frowned, squinting at Atachi not far away.

——Among this group, that woman is indeed the biggest threat...

At this moment, Ah Ding, who was standing not far away, was holding Su Ying tightly with both hands, pointing directly at the direction of Ji Jiu with the muzzle of the gun still wafting out the gunpowder smoke.

Although Asai just shouted "Take it hard", he is not a reckless guy who only knows "Take it hard".

He is quite clear that it is impossible for them to defeat Ji Jiu, a real "non-human" in the true sense, just by relying on them "old, weak, sick and disabled".

Therefore, he regards A-Machi, who possesses powerful firearms and superb shooting skills, as the most important player in whether they can win.

Asai knew: Machi had a firearm that could be fired even in rainy weather.

The only way to win is to let Ah Ding take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack with a musket.

That's why when he gave the "combat instructions" just now, he emphasized to A-Ming that he would try his best to get the best shooting opportunity for her.

That's why he took the initiative to rush to Jijiu, in order to prevent Jijiu from launching the first attack, preventing Jijiu from getting close to Ah-ding, and forcing Jijiu to fight with them from a distance, so that the battlefield is far away from Ah-ding, so that Ah-ding can start shooting.

After listening to Asai's "combat instructions" just now, Ah-machi immediately understood what Asai's intention was, so after Asai, Shimada and the others rushed to Yoshihisa, she silently prepared to start shooting support at any time.

The firearms that A-cho owns now are just a few: 5 Kentucky long rifles, 2 short guns: Su Ying and Fei Ying, and the pistols will only be damaged by sea water if they are brought over, so they cannot be dispatched at all. Therefore, before crossing the sea to pursue the second ship, Ogata temporarily handed over Kasumi and Meiran to her for safekeeping.

Feiying, Meiran and the five Kentucky long rifles are all flintlock firearms, which cannot be fired in such a heavy rainy day.

Anyway, it was temporarily useless, so the five Kentucky long rifles were temporarily thrown aside by A-Machi because they thought they were in the way.

Therefore—the only firearms that Ah-Ming can use at the moment are these two revolver pistols made by her and her father, as long as the gun body is not thrown into the water, it can be fired as usual: Su Sakura and Kasumi Nagi.

After Asai and others met Yoshihisa hand-to-hand, A-Machi has been observing and searching.

Wait for the best shooting opportunity to appear.

A-Machi didn't wait for too long - Yoshihisa, who was about to parry Shimada and Shibata's knives, threw the short spear in front of him, and the whole person stood in place, and there were no obstacles around him that would hinder the aiming .

There is no better timing for a shot than this.

Seeing that the precious opportunity had come, A-Machi did not hesitate at all—immediately took out Su Ying from his arms, aimed at Ji Jiu's head, and clicked the trigger.

Her timing, the speed with which she drew, aimed, and fired, was impeccable.

It's a pity... She didn't expect that since the beginning of the war, Ji Jiu regarded her as "the greatest potential threat" and had been watching all her actions carefully.

In the "Battle of Longshui Temple" last night, the precise shooting by Ah Ding, who was squatting on the beam of the house, really left a deep impression on Ji Jiu.

Yoshihisa, who has served the Toyotomi family for many years, is naturally used to the powerful power and terrorist threat of muskets.

Although the known common sense in his mind told Jijiu: In such a heavy rainy day, there is no need to use firearms at all. But Yoshihisa still chose to keep an eye out. When facing Asai and others who rushed over, he kept watching all the actions of A-cho from the corner of his eye.

It is also because of this that Yoshihisa was able to avoid the shot that A-Ming had just shot. After seeing A-Ming suddenly put his hand into his arms, he relied on the extraordinary agility and reaction speed endowed by the "power of immortality", Retreat in time to avoid Ah Ding's sniper attack.

Feeling the slightly scorching tip of his nose after the projectile passed by, Jijiu secretly felt a little lucky in his heart—fortunately, he had been paying attention to A-Ming's every move, otherwise, he might have been hit by A-Ming's surprise attack just now .

Asai, who was repelled by Yoshihisa just now, has completely recovered.

After he relaxed his numb arms a little, he raised his knife again and attacked Ji Jiu from the front.

And Shimada and Shibata, who were standing on the left and right sides of Asai, also cooperated with Asai at this time and launched an attack on Yoshihisa.

Facing Asai and the others attacking from three different directions, Yoshihisa only glanced at them calmly, then took a deep breath, and lowered his center of gravity——

Boom!

Yoshihisa first flew his right foot and kicked Shibata on his right.

Shibata, whose eyes couldn't even keep up with Yoshihisa's kick, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach that seemed to have broken his intestines - Yoshihisa's foot kicked Shibata's stomach firmly.

"Cough!" Shibata opened his mouth uncontrollably, saliva spattering. With the kicked part as the center, his body bent into a bow and flew backwards, the wakizashi in his palm flew out.

While kicking Shibata with one kick, Yoshihisa stabbed Asai directly in front with his spear.

The tip of Ji Jiu's gun is like a fierce snake coming out of a hole.

Asai, who could only barely keep up with Yoshihisa's speed and had no time to dodge, instinctively raised his knife and slashed at the spear head that was stabbed by Yoshihisa, preparing to parry Yoshihisa's attack. The direction of the stabbing was slightly shifted, unable to completely block Ji Jiu's attack.

The stabbing that was aimed straight at Ji Jiu's chest was blocked by Asai desperately, and the tip of the gun was lowered slightly, and the tip of the gun was attached to Asai's side shoulder, passing Asai's body, and a little bit of Asai's flank was flying. Flesh.

In other words, this is just an ordinary skin trauma.

But it was a coincidence—the part where Yoshihisa's gun head was cut... was the place where Asai was injured in the battle of Longshui Temple last night.

The wound that had been hot and red was hit by Jijiu again, and a lot of flesh was cut off - the pain caused the blood on Asai's face to dissipate instantly, and Dou Da's cold sweat fell from his forehead. Suddenly, most of the strength in my body was scattered by this sharp pain, and I couldn't even stand firmly, and my body fell to the ground.

After stabbing Asai down with one blow, Yoshihisa turned the gun body like a windmill, and the short spear crossed a beautiful circular arc in a clockwise direction. Shimada on the left.

Even Asai can hardly cope with Yoshihisa's strength and speed, let alone Shimada who lacks strength and combat experience.

Facing the tail of the spear swung by Yoshihisa, Shimada only turned from offense to defense, and blocked the blade of the spear towards the tail of the spear.

Shimada, who is a member of Huluya, who regards Dajuanjin as the basic unit of shopping, naturally does not use cheap sabers. The knives in his hand are also sold in the market, and none of them cost 100 taels of gold. Absolutely impossible to take down a good knife.

So - after the end of Jijiu's gun hit Shimada's saber, Shimada's saber was not broken, only the blade was slightly skewed.

Yoshihisa's gun end hit Shimada's left arm against the saber that had been smashed crookedly, and then hit Shimada's left arm, hitting his left rib, and finally knocked Shimada away like a baseball. Tian fell to the ground.

Shimada's defense still played a lot of role, and successfully dispelled a lot of force on the tail of Yoshihisa's gun, so when Yoshihisa's gun tail hit his left arm and left rib, only Shimada's left arm was broken , The left rib was cracked.

Although such an injury is not fatal, it is obvious that Shimada may not be able to launch any threatening attacks on Ji Jiu in a short time.

Yoshihisa only used 3 hits successively, and brought Shibata, Asai, and Shimada to the ground in one breath.

Boom!

At this time, the gunshots rang out again.

Not far away, Ah-machi cocked the trigger again at Yoshihisa.

Just now, when she saw Jijiu dodging her first surprise attack, A-Ming was indeed a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down, held the gun steady, and continued to calmly search for the best shooting opportunity.

However... after discovering that A-cho has a short gun that can be fired even in rainy days, Yoshihisa has regarded A-cho as his biggest threat in this battle.

Yoshihisa, who had increased his vigilance towards A-cho and watched A-cho's every move more carefully, once again dodged the flying bullets before A-cho pulled the trigger.

Ji Jiu frowned slightly, and thought to himself:

——This woman... really needs to be killed immediately.

Although the physical strength brought about by the "power of immortality" makes Yoshihisa confident that he can dodge every bullet that A-cho shoots, but firearms are firearms after all, and he has been ignoring A-cho who has such a big killer. , Ji Jiu still couldn't feel at ease.

Asai and the others, who have been brought down, are no longer a threat for the time being. So—Jijiu turned around, descended like a tiger, and rushed towards the direction where A-ding and A-Zhu were!

He decided to deal with the big threat of A-Ming first, and then deal with the others slowly.

...

...

(That, that, that! Miss Chu Chu Chu Chu Guang! First time meeting!)

(……who are you?)

(I, my, my, my name is Shibata! You, you are so beautiful! I, I, I am so happy to be able to go on a mission with you this time... Ah, no, I am very honored!)

(...Although you said 'You are so beautiful' to a 12-year-old girl with an excited face, I feel a little creepy, but thank you for the compliment. It's really rare that you have a surname, it's the first time I've seen it To the Iga ninja who has his own surname, if your surname is Shibata, what is your name?)

(That... my surname is not Shibata, I don't have a surname, Shibata is my name. My original name is actually 'Tajiro', because I like Shiba Inu, so I changed my name to this.)

(Oh... Shiba Inu, I like Shiba Inu too.)

(Wow woof!)

(...Even if you go to school barking on the ground, you won't become a Shiba Inu...Stand up quickly, it's so embarrassing.)

(Wow woof!)

...

——I am... dying...?

Clutching his stomach, Shibata lay on his back on the ground, looking at the sky that was still raining heavily, and asked himself this question in his heart.

For some reason, Shibata recalled the scene when he first met Hatsuko.

He had heard before: when a person is about to die, he will recall some past events in his life.

Shibata, who had been kicked by Yoshihisa's stomach firmly, now only feels that his intestines seem to be broken into countless knots.

——Now...it's not time to die...at least...you must make sure that Miss Chuguang is completely safe...you can die.

Shibata gritted his teeth, pumped himself up in his heart, and tried to stand up.

But the severe pain in his abdomen made it very difficult for him to support his upper body.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Ji Jiu holding his short gun and heading straight for A-Ding and A-Zhu.

—Damn it...! Isn't there... a way to bring down that bastard? !

Shibata pursed his lips tightly, and slowly clenched his hands on the ground, his fingers sunk deep into the flesh.

--What else……? !

—Is there anything else I can do?

A somewhat dazed Shibata appeared on his face, looking around, trying to find something that could be useful in the current battle.

And when Shibata was looking around for something that could come in handy——

--Ok?

Shibata's expression suddenly froze, his head froze looking around.

I saw him with his head stunned, staring straight at... Chu Guang who had passed out on the rocky beach not far away.

...

...

Seeing Yoshiku running towards them, A-cho, and Azuki standing next to A-cho, their expressions changed.

A-Ming has traveled with Ogata for so long, and has seen so many storms and waves with Ogata. Unknowingly, he has already cultivated a set of determination and courage far superior to ordinary people.

But even so, after seeing Yoshihisa heading straight towards them with a murderous expression, A-Machi's face turned white uncontrollably.

If A-Machi is like this, let alone A-Zhu who has never seen the world--A-Zhu not only turned pale, but even shook Wakizawa's hands slightly.

Asai and the others have been brought down.

Xuanzheng, an old guy who doesn't have half a weapon on his body, has basically zero combat power.

In other words... the only ones who still have the ability to fight Yoshihisa are the two female ninjas A-Machi and Azuki.

Under the misty and heavy rain, the battlefield has now become...a duel of three ninjas, Yoshihisa, Acho, and Azuki.

The reason why the name of Chuguang's attendant is "Shibata" is because the image established for this person is "Shiba Inu".

Simple, loyal, Chuguang is an obedient dog (no derogatory meaning).
