I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 715

In the sky, the lightning and the sound of the waves echoed in the distance, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, like a powerful symphony.
The strong wind and torrential rain made the sea show its ferocious and fierce side.
Under the extremely low clouds, the original calm of the sea was gone, and the gust of wind one after another set off waves higher than wave after wave.
Under the haze 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 fell on the decks of the Hikari Maru and Hulu Maru.
Toyotomi Nobuhide doesn’t like to wear Wakizashi, and he only wears his favorite sword – Jiguang bone food on weekdays.
It was the sword with a purple handle and a black sheath that Toyotomi Nobuhide had been wearing on his left waist, almost never leaving his body.
This sword is one of the Tibetan swords owned by Hideyoshi, the ancestor of their Toyotomi family.
About a hundred years ago, a certain generation of ancestors of Toyotomi Nobuhide spent a lot of money to retrieve the saber that their ancestor Hideyoshi had always been proud of, and this sword has been used as their family heirloom ever since. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and has been passed down to the generation of Toyotomi Nobuhide.
Toyotomi Nobuhide has always been very fond of this Jiguang bone food.
At the beginning, when he was going to take away all the belongings in the family and left home to explore the way to revive Toyotomi, Toyotomi Nobuhide took this Jiguang bone food away as soon as possible.
At this moment, Toyotomi Nobuhide stood on the bow of the flagship Hikari Maru with a blank face, holding the Yoshimitsu Bone Food at his waist, despite the strong wind and waves, he naturally stood still.
Behind Toyotomi Nobuhide, there are countless sailors who are in their respective positions and perform their duties. .
The sailors on the second ships, Hikki Maru and Hulu Maru, were all high-quality talents who were able to control the ships skillfully, who had paid a lot of money and invited instructors from England to conduct strict training.
“Lord Toyotomi.”
At this time, his “fleet governor” Kasubee walked slowly towards Toyotomi Nobuhide from behind him.
“What are you doing here? It’s very 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 the mere waves.” Toyotomi Nobuhide smiled, “I’m just… just cherishing the memory of the woman who has been confirmed dead, and the left and right guards who may be dead now.”
“It has been very busy since noon today.”
“And now, I finally have 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… not to see them again.”
Although he said “regret”, there was no expression on Toyotomi Nobuhide’s face from beginning to end, making it difficult to see the current true emotions of Toyotomi Nobuhide.
Hexuebee was startled at first, and then his expression gradually became sad.
“Yaoemon… It’s such a pity…”
Besides Toyotomi Nobuhide herself, no one in the entire Toyotomi clan was close to her, including the Hexu bee.
Although Kashoubee is not familiar with Lady Naruto, she has a good relationship with Yoemon.
Toyotomi Nobuhide slowly took a deep breath, and then spit out the air he just inhaled.
“Okay, let’s talk about business now.”
He turned his head to look at the Hebei behind him.
“How is the sailing of the ship currently?”
“Lord Toyotomi, our luck is a little bit bad.” Kasumi was reporting regretfully to Toyotomi Nobuhide, “The wind doesn’t want to cooperate with us, we are going against the wind now, 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 Rihui Maru and Hulu Maru.
The second ship sailed to the depths of the sea in an orderly manner under the command of Kasugabee.
“Hexu Bee, the sailing will be left to you.” Toyotomi Nobuhide, who was standing on the bow, admired the seascape for a while, then put his hands behind his back, “I’m going back to the cabin to rest for a while.”
“Call me again when you arrive at the waters of Osaka, or when something special happens.”
“Yes!” Kasuga, who had been expecting to use the cannon to blow up Osaka Castle, responded loudly.
There is a part of the reason why Kasumi bee is reused by Toyotomi Nobuhide. It is also very popular with Toyotomi Nobuhide because of the character of Kasumi bee who likes cannonballs and bombing.
Although Toyotomi Nobuhide’s next goal is to launch the “Edo War”, the order of doing things cannot be messed up after all.
Before heading to Edo, we still have to wrap up last night’s “Osaka Spring Formation”—the Osaka Castle in Osaka was blasted into ruins with naval guns.
Now, Toyotomi’s troops have basically withdrawn from Osaka, and the naval guns can be fired at will.
The reason why Toyotomi Nobuhide planned to use naval guns to smash Osaka Castle is not just because of revenge. It’s 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 clans in the country see the strength of their Toyotomi clan.
Such a majestic Osaka Castle, under the salvo of his naval guns, has only one fate: to be torn apart like paper.
Osaka is adjacent to Kii, and if you sail normally, you will probably be able to arrive late at night today.
But unfortunately – 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 – whether he arrived at the Osaka waters late at night today, or waited until tomorrow morning to arrive at the Osaka waters, it made no difference to him.
After giving the order to Kasugabee, “The sailing is up to you”, Toyotomi Nobuhide was about to turn around and return to the cabin.
But at this moment-
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!”
Not far away, there was a sound of vomiting that made people feel physically uncomfortable just by listening to the sound.
Toyotomi Nobuhide followed the sound and smiled.
“Kyutaro, aren’t you used to taking a boat?”
Toyotomi Nobuhide was lying on the side of the ship not far away, with his head sticking out of the side of the ship, and the ninja he had “taken in” strode after the one who was spitting up was destroyed in Shiranui.
“Feng, Lord Toyotomi…”
Hearing Toyotomi Nobuhide’s voice, Kikutaro, who was pale due to seasickness and felt that the river was overturning in his stomach, quickly suppressed his vomit and prepared to salute Toyotomi Nobuhide.
Toyotomi Nobuhide waved his hand, indicating that he would be excused.
“I’m sorry… Lord Toyotomi… I made you laugh…” Kikutaro smiled at Nobuhide Toyotomi, “I haven’t been on a boat much…”
“It’s okay, it’s normal.” Toyotomi Nobuhide waved his hand proudly, “I was very embarrassed when I first boarded the boat.”
Having said that, 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 beside him.
“What? Do you still mind my order for you to lead someone to burn Koyasan?”
“No, no, no!” Kikutaro, who had a look of horror in his pupils, said urgently, “I have no complaints about your order!”
Kikutaro hurriedly explained.
After looking at Kikutaro with interest for a while, Toyotomi Nobuhide said leisurely:
“Kyutaro, it’s just a matter of burning Koyasan, you don’t need to feel any guilt.”
“Those so-called Buddha statues are just a piece of wood in the final analysis.”
“I’ve grown up so much, and I’ve never seen a **** or Buddha pop out of any Buddha statue.”
“I’ve never seen any divine punishment.”
“God’s punishment or something, just to comfort the weak who were oppressed.”
Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his hand and patted Kikutaro’s shoulder with a smile.
“Only by telling those who are oppressed and weak that those who have done bad deeds will be punished one day, can the grievances and unwillingness in the hearts of the weak be healed.”
“That’s why there are messy things like ‘God’s punishment’ and ‘the wicked will go to **** when they die, and the good people can enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss after they die’.”
After all, Toyotomi Nobuhide patted Kikutaro on the shoulder again, and then let his body leave the railing he had been leaning against.
But he just stood up-
“Ouch, vomit, vomit—!”
Not far away, there was a sound of vomiting that made people feel physically uncomfortable just listening to it.
“…Master, it’s not the first time you’ve been on a ship. Why are you still getting seasick so easily?”
Toyotomi Nobuhide put his hands behind his back, smiled wryly, and walked towards Master Xianyuan, who was lying on the opposite side of Kikutaro, vomiting at the sea.
“I’m sorry… Lord Toyotomi.” The haggard Master Xianyuan wiped his mouth, “I made you laugh…”
“Don’t stay on the deck.” Toyotomi Nobuhide said, “You must be tired after escaping from death in Koyasan. Go back to the cabin early to rest.”
“To escape from Ogata Ichitosai’s sword, I’m really exhausted… vomit!” After mocking himself bitterly, Master Xianyuan put his head out of the ship’s side again.
After encountering Ogata Ichitozhai 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 have a short escape in a cold sweat.
Using his familiarity with Koya Mountain and the cover of the followers who were lurking in Xianyuan Temple at that time, he fled desperately, desperately…
Should I say that it was good luck, or should I say that the efforts were not in vain… He successfully escaped from Ogata’s sword, and then smoothly merged with Toyotomi’s followers, and successfully returned to Toyotomi Nobuhide’s side.
“If you still feel uncomfortable, go to the doctor and order some medicine to eat.” Toyotomi Nobuhide said, “After taking the medicine, you should be able to feel better.”
“I feel fine now… I don’t need to take medicine… Vomit!”
Master Xianyuan stuck his head out of the ship’s side again.
When Master Xianyuan vomited some bile again, and then slowly lifted and retracted his head that was sticking out of 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 in front of him.
“There… there seems to be something…”
“Something?” Toyotomi Nobuyuki’s brows slowly frowned, and then he hurriedly followed the direction pointed by Master Xianyuan’s finger.
I saw a black spot floating on the sea between the second ship and the distant coast.
This black spot seems to be alive, and it is drifting towards the direction of the second ship at an unhurried speed.
The rain screen is very dense now, and the dark clouds are very dense, so the light is also extremely poor. Even Toyotomi Nobuhide, who has the ‘immortal power’ in his body and his five senses are far superior to ordinary people, it is difficult to see what the object floating on the sea is. What.
At this time, the rest of the people on the ship also discovered this unknown object.
“Hey! Look, what is that?”
“It seems to be drifting towards us…”
“Is it some dead animal floating on the sea?”
…
“Fleet Governor” Hexuebee also heard the news and ran quickly to the side of the ship, took out the telescope, and looked closely at the unknown object.
However, the dense rain also made it impossible for Hexuebee to see the true face of the object.
The moving speed of the “unidentified object” is faster than the second ship that is now heading against the wind.
Thanks to this – Toyotomi Nobuhide and the others are getting shorter and shorter distances from this thing.
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 clearer as the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Finally, under the influence of “the power of immortality”, Toyotomi Nobuhide, who has extraordinary eyesight, was the first to see clearly what this “unidentified object” was.
It was a large wooden board that was being held by several people…
Those people hugged the big wooden board and swam straight towards them…
“…sharp.”
Toyotomi Nobuhide’s expression suddenly sank.
“Being able to chase here…”
“Hebei!”
“exist!”
Not far away, Kasubee hurried to the side of Toyotomi Nobuhide.
“Send an order to the entire fleet—” Toyotomi Nobuhide stretched out his hand and pointed to the few people in the distance who were holding wooden boards and swimming straight towards them, “Prepare for the bombardment!”
…
…
“Is that the battleship of England…” Makimura, with his hands firmly on the wooden board, looked at the second ship, which was getting closer and closer, with some startled eyes, “When I was watching from a distance on the coast, I didn’t know what to do. I thought it was huge, but now I look closer… this size is incredible…”
“This size can only be considered ordinary on the Europa continent.” Genichi, who was lying beside Makimura, wrote lightly, “If I remember correctly, the largest battleship in the Europa continent is the Spanish ‘Holy Trinity’. ‘, the volume is even larger than these two ships, with 4 decks and more than 140 artillery pieces, it is an undoubted movable ‘sea battery’.”
“Master Yuan, how do you know so clearly? Could it be that you have seen that ship before when you were on the Europa continent?”
“I haven’t seen it. These are all things I’ve heard about in England before.”
“If you want to chat, let’s talk slowly later.” Mamiya on the side said at this time, “The waves are very big now, be careful not to let the waves hit your mouth and cause you to choke.”
Mamiya did not put both hands on the wooden board like Genichi and Makimura did. Instead, he only held the wooden board with his left hand and a wooden post used as a raft with his right hand. The pillars fiddled with the sea water behind them, fine-tuning their direction, and assisting their progress.
“Look!” Suddenly, Chu Guang, who was at the very center of the board, said coldly, “There is movement on the ship!”
As soon as Chu Guang’s voice fell, Yuan Yi and the others quickly raised their hands and looked at the second ship ahead.
I saw that the neatly arranged muzzles at the belly of the second ship were opened one by one.
As the muzzle unfolded, the dark muzzles revealed their hideous faces…
“Be careful! Shelling is coming!” After shouting so loudly, Yuan Yi took the lead in burying his head as low as possible.
Mamiya and the others followed closely behind, burying their heads, while squeezing out the last bit of strength in their bodies, stomping on the sea water behind them, further speeding up their swimming towards the nearest battleship, Hulumaru.
As if he wanted to deliberately cooperate with Yuan Yi’s sentence “Bombardment is coming” just now, as soon as Yuan Yi’s reminder voice fell, the gun muzzles at the belly of the second ship roared at the same time.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom…
The flames were flickering, the smoke was spreading.
Because the coast where Yuan Yi and the others were just now happened to be facing the belly of the second ship, they urgently needed to walk the shortest distance and reach the second ship at the fastest speed, so they had to go straight to the second ship. the belly of the ship.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that the position facing the two flanks of the sailing battleship is the most dangerous position.
Because all the artillery of the sailing battleship are neatly assembled on the two sides of the ship, you stand in the position facing the belly of the ship, and the naval guns loaded on the belly can be used to bombard you.
The sound of shells coming out of the bore adds a new accompaniment to the current symphony composed of thunder, waves and wind.
Cannonballs roared and smashed towards Yuan Yi and the others.
The cannonballs flew towards Yuan Yi and others across the giant’s footsteps, or over their heads, smashed behind Yuan Yi and others, or smashed in front of or beside them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
Clouds of water were blown up as the shells fell.
The provoked waves and water jets were like a ferocious dragon, biting at Yuan Yi and the others who were holding the plank.
Compared with this Flood Dragon, the wooden boards under Yuan Yi and the others were as fragile as white paper that would be torn apart when torn.
On several occasions, the planks under them were nearly overturned.
But every time the plank was about to be overturned, Yuan Yi and the others would immediately put their weight up so that the plank would not be overturned by the ferocious “Jiaolong”.
While struggling to keep the plank from being overturned, Genichi and the others continued to push the water hard, Mamiya continued to use the “raft” to adjust the course, and everyone continued to head straight for the second ship.
Both Rihui Maru and Hulu Maru have 70 artillery pieces.
The barrage of 140 artillery pieces – such firepower, makes people who know a little about artillery shudder.
The sound of the cannons gradually suppressed the sound of wind and thunder, becoming the undisputed protagonist of the current “symphony”.
The black fog caused by the burning of more and more gunpowder lingered around the second ship, making the second ship even more terrifying.
The shells fell one by one beside Yuan Yi and the others.
Often, a wave rolls in from the east, and before Yuan Yi and the others have time to stabilize the plank, a stronger wave follows from the south.
But even so, Yuan Yi and the others still gritted their teeth and persisted, continuing to swim towards the second ship despite the rain of guns.
The artillery of this era cannot achieve accurate shooting at all, and can only fire at a certain general direction.
On land, artillery can’t achieve accurate shooting, let alone when the waves are turbulent… and it is still in the current heavy rain, and the waves are even more surging at sea. Using artillery to bombard is relatively small compared to ships. Just like the source of a leaf on the sea, a group of people.
However – Toyotomi Nobuhide had no hope that the artillery on their ships could accurately blast Nakagenichi and them.
His original intention was to use the waves caused by the artillery falling into the sea to overturn Yuanyi and the others into the sea.
Of course – it would be best if Yuan Yi and his group could be blasted into the sky with one shot.
Standing on the side of Hikki Maru’s ship, looking at Genichi and others who had not been able to lift them into the sea until now, Toyotomi Nobuhide was 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.
Thinking about it with his ass, he knew who the group of people who suddenly appeared and swam straight towards them were.
He only wondered now – how did Ogata Ichitosai know the location of his battleship?
This question was pondered by Toyotomi Nobuhide in his mind for a while, and he found the answer.
“Is it you… Xuan Zheng…”
A sneer appeared on Toyotomi Nobuhide’s cheeks.
“Did you come to seek revenge on me…”
“People who are obsessed with academic research… as expected, it is very difficult to serve…”
Toyotomi Nobuhide put away his hands on the railing of the ship, put his back behind him, the sneer on his face turned into a smile, and with the eyes of waiting for a good show, he saw in his eyes that he was suffering from the intensive artillery bombardment. Struggling source first class.
When he first saw these uninvited guests, Toyotomi Nobuhide was indeed a little surprised.
But after the shock, he quickly regained his composure—he had full confidence in the two ships and 140 artillery pieces he owned.
Bombarding with 140 guns at such a distance – there will always be a moment when a wave big enough to overturn them, or be lucky enough to hit them and blast them into bolognese.
The 140 guns fired in turns, but in the end they couldn’t get them to the sea before they got under the boat – no reason!
Nobuhide Toyotomi, who believes that he is now completely invincible and has a solid victory, smiled and said in a somewhat comfortable tone:
“Ogata Ichitozai, Uncle… I can understand your anxiety about wanting to settle accounts with me and to take back Xiao Lin.”
“But ah… anxious to get anxious, you have to stay calm when drawing up your strategy.”
“Hold the plank and swim to the 2 ships with enough shells—that’s really ruthless… eh?”
Toyotomi Nobuhide suddenly stopped talking to himself. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
The pleasant smile that originally hung on his face slowly disappeared.
The pupils floated in surprise and solemnity at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because Yuan Yi and others persistently swam towards the second ship, the distance between them continued to narrow. Just now, Toyotomi Nobuhide finally saw the faces of the people on the wooden board through the layers of rain.
an old man.
a pair of glasses.
A strong man.
A pretty girl who is familiar.
The above 4 people are all the people on the board.
Toyotomi Nobuhide looked around, from left to right, from right to left, he couldn’t even see the face he had seen countless times on the wanted list on this board.
A question was roared by Toyotomi Nobuhide in astonishment:
—Where did Ogata Ichitosai go? !
…
…
At this moment-
Gourd pills, under the belly of the boat—
“Cough cough! Bah!”
Ogata opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fish that he accidentally put into his mouth when the waves were shooting.
“Ha…ha…ha…” Ogata, who pressed his body against the bottom of the ship’s belly to prevent himself from being swept away by the waves, gasped heavily.
“Under such weather… swimming such a long distance… for me now, it’s a little too much to bear…”
After making fun of himself, Ogata raised his head and looked at the muzzles above his head that were still roaring.
In the pupils, a special light is flashing.
