I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 733

Latest URL: Back in time not too long ago—

Gourd pills, on the open deck, under the foremast—

Whoa!

A big wave came, and he was standing under the foremast, pulling on the long, thick rope that he could not name but was used to control the sails of the foremast.

“Bah! Bah! Bah!”

After spitting out the seawater he accidentally drank just now, Makimura continued to meticulously control the foremast sails, and controlled the foremast sails within a certain angle as Mamiya had just requested.

(Makimura, you can focus on controlling the sails of the foremast, you just stay here and control the sails of the foremast to this angle.)

(Mamiya, our ship is missing the thickest and longest mast, is there any way to collide with that Hikarimaru? And—just the two of us, is there any way to control such a big battleship? )

(I don’t know, but try it first. ‘Try’ is always better than ‘wait’.)

The above are the original words of the question and answer that Mamiya and Makimura started.

Just now, after saying the words “Don’t put this Gourd Maru to Hikari Maru”, Makimura almost couldn’t help asking Mamiya “Are you kidding me?”, Mamiya led Makimura to the fore mast. , to tell Maki how to pull the sail and what angle to keep the sail at.

After that, Mamiya handed over the fore mast to Makimura, and went straight to the open deck behind.

Regarding how to make the big guy under their feet drive under such a headwind, Mamiya briefly explained to Makimura just now when he was teaching how to pull the sails in the village.

But Makimura didn’t understand it at all.

Make the hull turn sideways, make the sail and the hull form a certain angle, the wind is different… Makimura knows every word.

But together, I don’t know what it means.

Since he didn’t understand the principle of “sailboats sailing against the wind” at all, Makimura simply didn’t think much about it, and just obeyed Mamiya’s orders.

Hulu Wan’s current armed forces have basically been eliminated by them.

Those who were still alive either jumped into the sea to escape, or hid somewhere in the cabin.

In short – Gourd Maru is now similar to a “ghost ship”, and only Mamiya and Makimura can be seen on the open deck.

After Mamiya ran to the open deck at the rear, Makimura saw Mamiya running around very busy, barely stopping.

Occasionally pull the sails of the mizzen to fix the angle of the mizzen sails.

From time to time, he would go and manipulate things that Makimura couldn’t name at all.

Occasionally he ran into places that Makicun couldn’t see, and it took a while to see him again.

What the **** is Mamiya doing – Makimura, who doesn’t have the slightest knowledge of ships in his mind, doesn’t understand it at all.

All he knew was that after Mamiya’s tossing and turning, the direction of the ship’s hull was deflected, and it rushed straight towards Hikari Maru not far away!

Faced with the head-on collision with Gourd Maru, Rihui Maru reacted immediately—but for some reason, their reaction…was pretty bad.

The hull was slightly deflected, and it could be seen that the crew of Hikki Maru wanted to stay away from the Hulu Maru that had collided with.

But for some reason, Hikki Maru’s turn was rather slow.

Just like a disabled person with degenerated limbs and inconvenient mobility, he has been unable to make any effective move away from the approaching Hulu Pill.

One is approaching directly, while the other is difficult to dodge—under such a situation, Hulu Maru approached within a distance of less than 10 meters from Rihui Maru in a short while.

The narrowing of the distance also allowed Makimura to finally see the situation on the open deck of Hikari Maru through the layers of thick rain curtains.

As soon as his eyes landed on the open deck of Hikari Maru, the sight in Makimura’s eyes made Makimura startled. Somewhere near the side of the ship, a very young man was holding the knife rest in a state. On the neck of the poor source one.

In front of this young man, Ogata, who had just parted for a long time, held a knife in both hands and put on a “Daxia” stance, and started a confrontation with this young man that, even at such a long distance, could still make Makimura feel suffocated. .

In addition, Makimura saw a familiar figure in a coma and being watched by several people under the main mast of Hikari Maru.

-Oops! We have to quickly find a way to support Gen-sama and Ogata-san.

This thought just popped into Makimura’s mind—

“Makimura. You can let go of the sails.”

He suddenly heard Mamiya’s voice sounding coldly from behind him.

Makimura quickly turned his head when he heard the sound.

Mamiya, whose face was full of exhaustion, walked towards Makimura at an unhurried pace.

Makimura saw something in his hand that Makimura felt very familiar.

Look closely – it turns out to be a crossbow used by hunting whales. He and Ogata had just been on this Gourd Maru before and met a crew member with this crossbow tool against them.

Most of the crossbow in Mamiya’s hand was picked up somewhere on the ship just now.

“Let go of the sail? Don’t you need to pull the sail?” Makimura asked.

“No need. Then you just need to rely on inertia.”

Since Mamiya said so, Makimura obediently let go of the thick rope used to control the sail.

“Mamiya.” Looking at the tired look on Mamiya’s face that he couldn’t hide, Makimura couldn’t help asking him about his physical condition, “Are you… okay? You look tired.”

“It’s okay.” Mamiya said lightly, “It’s just that one person has worked in several positions such as captain, helmsman, and sailor at the same time.”

Seeing Mamiya’s mental state seemed to be okay, Makimura also relaxed a little and put his mind and body back to business.

“Mamiya.” Makimura cast his eyes back to the open deck of Hikarimaru with a serious face, “You should have seen the situation on Hikkimaru’s side, right?”

“Yeah, I see.” Mamiya followed Makimura to look at Hikari Maru, who was close at hand, and said sternly, “Makimura, listen carefully, the distance between the two ships is almost enough for us to jump directly. past.”

“After jumping on Hikarimaru’s open deck later, you go to rescue the lord under the mainmast.”

“I’m going to support Ogata-kun.”

“Support Ogata-san? How are you going to support?” Makimura couldn’t help asking.

Mamiya shook the whale-hunting crossbow in his hand.

“I used to learn how to use a crossbow with a hunter from Tang Dynasty in Sendai.”

Mamiya said lightly.

“Although the crossbow used by this whale hunter is quite different from an ordinary crossbow, the principle of use is similar.”

After saying that, Mamiya held the crossbow and ran towards Hikarimaru, who was within reach, and leaped after only a few steps.

The body crossed a beautiful parabola and landed precisely on the open deck of Hikari Maru.

Mamiya shrunk his body into a ball, and rolled a few times after landing, dissipating the impact of the landing.

After the impact was almost dissipated, he immediately stood up.

Flatten the crossbow, aim at Toyotomi’s head, and pull the trigger—all in one go…

…

…

Nikki Maru, in the cabin—

“Ah! There is also seawater leaking in here!”

“Quick! Quickly fill the hole!”

“It seems that someone here was overwhelmed by the collapsed wooden post!”

“Don’t worry about it! Come and mend the hole together! Let the sea water flow in like this, and the ship will sink!”

…

In the cabin of Hikki Maru at this time… it can be said that a group of demons dances wildly.

Nikki Maru and Hulu Maru were originally battleships of the same rank, and the two ships were the same in size and weight.

Let a warship of the same level hit one of the most vulnerable parts of the hull: the side of the ship…you can imagine the consequences.

Just now, with a deafening “bang” sound, Hulu Maru slammed into Hikki Maru’s left side of the ship.

The moment the two ships collided…the left side of the Hikari Maru…like a cream cake hit by a rock.

Cracks appeared first, then the cracks spread rapidly, and then they began to shatter and collapse.

Rihui Maru’s left side hull was directly knocked out of a big hole, and the small half of the bow of Hulu Maru was directly embedded in Rihui Maru’s hull.

A large amount of seawater poured into Hikkimaru’s cabin along the hole that was knocked out.

The hull was hit, and more and more sea water poured into the cabin… This piece of bad news created chaos in the Rihuimaru cabin at this time.

All kinds of roars and screams were heard in the cabin of Hikki Maru.

If it was said that whoever roared the hardest in the scene, it was naturally the “Fleet Governor” Hexuebee.

“The people from the 1st and 3rd groups went to get the wood for repairing the hull, and the people from the 2nd, 4th, and 5th groups repaired the big hole…”

With a slightly hoarse voice, Hexuebee issued one order and one instruction to his subordinates.

Kasuga, who has not been idle since just now, can be considered to have carried out all the duties due to the “fleet governor” to the end.

Before Gourd Maru collided, in order to avoid the collision, Kasuki was doing everything she could, using all the methods she could.

For example: in order to reduce the weight of the hull as much as possible and speed up the turning speed of the hull, Hexu ordered to throw away all the unimportant heavy objects on the ship.

But without the stern rudder, the blow to the flexibility of the ship is fatal after all.

Even though Kashoubee had tried his best, he still couldn’t stop the crash of Gourd Maru.

But—even though the collision of the two ships could not be avoided, Kasuki didn’t feel frustrated or lose his fighting spirit.

After Hikki Maru was knocked out of such a big hole, he immediately started to command the repair of Hikki Maru’s hull.

Thanks to the “command center” of Hexuebee, which has been operating effectively, the current cabin is chaotic at first glance, but it has not completely lost order.

After giving a dozen orders and instructions to his subordinates in one breath, Kasumi was finally able to rest for a while.

He was drowning the seawater that had already submerged his ankles, gritted his teeth, and looked worriedly at the bow of the Hulumaru, which was embedded in the hull of Rihui Maru, and the big hole that was constantly seeping in.

As for the repair of the big hole, Kasuki was not particularly worried about it.

The size of the hole was not large enough to make Kasuga feel helpless.

Now Kasumi is only worried about how many enemy reinforcements will come from Gourd Maru.

He had already concluded that the reason why Hulu Maru collided must be the ghost of the enemy. Only human-controlled ships can have such a navigation trajectory.

Before Gourd Maru collided, Kasubee had already ordered all armed forces to be on alert to guard against the appearance of a new enemy.

“Lord Hexu! Lord Hexu!”

At this moment, Kasugabee suddenly heard someone calling his name in Japanese with an odd accent.

“Mr. Smith.” Hebei frowned, looking at the person who was calling him, “What’s the matter?”

Smith – the blond English arms dealer and Toyotomi’s most important partner.

The muskets, artillery, ammunition, and battleships used by the Toyotomi Army were all purchased from Smith.

An important business partner—this relationship makes Toyotomi and Smith have a pretty good relationship.

For the character of Smith, Hexuebee’s evaluation has only one word: “coward”.

As an arms dealer, he particularly likes war—because there is war, for him, it means business.

After getting to know Toyotomi and learning about the lucrative business of “Reviving Toyotomi” from Toyotomi, he immediately started a very close cooperation with Toyotomi and became an inseparable existence with Toyotomi.

Although he likes war, he is actually extraordinarily timid, extraordinarily cherishing his life, and extraordinarily afraid of death.

At this moment, Hexuebee saw this coward and rushed to him in a panic.

“Lord Kazuki!” Smith quickly asked in a very strange Japanese voice, “How is the damage and repair of the hull at present?”

“The situation is not bad.” Hexube said coldly, “The damaged area is not too big. As long as there are no more accidents, it will not be a problem to fill this big hole.”

“That’s it…that’s fine.” Smith let out a long breath, showing a relieved expression.

Seeing the expression on Smith’s face, Hebei couldn’t help but let out a disdainful sneer in her heart.

—Heh… Are you so afraid of death… Sure enough, that’s what businessmen are like…

Although Hexuebee didn’t like Smith’s fear of death, but he was Toyotomi’s honored guest after all, so the face and courtesy that should be given should still be given.

“Mr. Smith.” Hebei said, “It’s dangerous here. Go back to your room…”

He’s not finished yet-

“Lord Hexu! Lord Hexu!”

Another urgent call came.

Looking at the sound – a crew member hurriedly rushed to the front of Hexuebee, and then reported in a quick and anxious voice:

“Kazuki-sama! Two enemies jumped from Gourd Maru to help me on the open deck of my ship!”

The crewman reported what had just happened on the open deck to Kashoubee in impatient but focused words.

From Mamiya and Makimura, they jumped over to help, and said that Mamiya shot and injured Toyotomi with a whale hunting crossbow…

As soon as the same source went to war, Toyotomi issued an order: In our battle, if you are not able to intervene, all retreat!

Kasumi, who has always been obedient to Toyotomi, naturally obeyed and left the battlefield to Toyotomi—but, it was impossible for Kasumi to remove all the armed personnel from the open deck.

He also has a considerable number of armed personnel arranged on the open deck.

The tasks of these armed men deployed by Kasumi on the open deck are fairly simple—intercept all possible new enemies that may interfere with the battle of Toyotomi and Genichi and others, and report to Kasumi on the open deck. condition above.

The current crew member who came to send orders to Kasumi was one of the armed men he had previously arranged on the open deck to help him observe Toyotomi’s battle.

After listening to the crew’s report, Kasugabee’s face immediately sank.

The same face became ugly, and there was Smith who was standing beside him.

“He, Hexu-sama.” Smith swallowed hard, “Should we… send someone to support Toyotomi-sama?”

“…Tsk! I’m really worried about what’s coming!” He Xubee lowered his voice, roared, turned his head, and shouted to a cadre beside him, “All the soldiers who can still be mobilized now, all of them will be transferred to the open air. on the deck!”

…

…

At this moment-

Hikkimaru, in the cabin, somewhere in a dark corner—

Kikutaro leaned against the wall behind him, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples hard.

“It’s finally… a little more comfortable…” After listening to Kikutaro whispering like this, he slowly put down the fingers that rubbed his temples and opened his eyes, “I really vomited to death before…”

Kikutaro, who has a seasickness constitution, vomited so badly when he first boarded the Hikari Maru.

The wind and waves on the sea are still very strong, and even tend to be more and more violent, but after boarding the ship for so long, Kikutaro is now a little bit used to the bumpy ground under his feet.

The body still feels a little uncomfortable, but it is no longer the same as before.

Loud and noisy sounds have been coming from all directions since just now.

After listening for a while, Kikutaro finally understood what happened – it turned out that Gourd Maru had hit him.

At this time, most of the crew were busy repairing damaged ships.

After learning the reason why Hikkimaru was so noisy at this time, Kikutaro almost laughed out loud.

– It should be… it’s almost time…

After briefly checking the situation outside and confirming that it happened to be empty right now, Kikutaro couldn’t help but let out a low laugh out of hilarity.

—No one…good! So… let’s go!

Kikutaro held back his smile and suppressed the corners of his mouth that had been upturned since just now, as he walked slowly out of the dark corner where he had been hiding.

—Although it is very different from the original plan.

– but it doesn’t matter.

– You can get the results you want!

– God help me too!

Kikutaro kept laughing.

But the smile continued to emerge from his cheeks, causing the corners of his mouth to rise higher and higher.

– You deserve it! Toyotomi Nobuhide!

-What “Revival Toyotomi”! With so much money, what can’t you do? Find a good place to live, and then get more than a dozen big bear women to sing every night, isn’t it good?

-In this world, as long as you have money, you can have a lot of women in your arms.

– It’s really incomprehensible!

He shouted proudly in his heart.

While shouting like this in his heart, UU read www.uukanshu.com while using Shiranui’s stealth technique, he went straight to Hikkimaru’s… No. 1 ammunition depot.
