I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 737

Popular recommendation:

Ogata Ichitosai, Kinoshita Genichi, their accomplices, and Shibata, a traitor who obviously betrayed him along with Hatsumi… 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 Hatsumi 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 important thing at the moment is to rush back to Hikari Maru and return to help Toyotomi—there is no doubt about this.

If they jumped back into the sea and swam back to Hikarimaru without “cleaning up” the companions of Ogata Ichitosai and Kinoshita Genichi on the shore, they would most likely be attacked from behind by these people.

Last night at Ryusui Temple in Osaka, Yoshihisa could see clearly—that woman with a full-bodied bear and wearing a Shiranui Ninja costume, had quite superb skills in using firearms, and was able to carry out long-distance precise shooting.

Although the current rain does not seem like a weather that can use firearms, but for the sake of prudence, Yoshihisa decided to “clean up” all these companions of Ogata Ichitosai and Kinoshita Genichi. Only then can I safely jump back into the sea and rush back to Hikarimaru.

The enemy has drawn his weapons – no more words needed.

Asai, who was standing at the front, quietly put the knife in his hand to the upper right section, and set up a posture of showing the current flow.

“Shimada, Shibata.” He whispered to his companions behind him, “I’ll be responsible for the frontal containment later, and the two of you will be waiting for opportunities to attack on the left and right sides.”

“Ms. Azu and…Ms. A-cho. You two are responsible for supporting from a distance.”

“Miss A-cho, you have to cheer up, I will try my best to get the best shooting opportunity for you.”

When calling the name of A-machi, Asai made a special accent.

The careful A-Machi naturally noticed the subtle change in tone of Asai when she called her name.

Thinking of Asai’s last sentence “I will try my best to get the best shooting opportunity for you”, A-Machi nodded lightly.

“Asaka, Asai-senpai” At this time, after Asai gave this series of instructions, Shimada, the “defeatist strategist”, swallowed hard, “This guy…isn’t the Iga with the ‘immortal power’. Nori’s leader? 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 teaching passed down from generation to generation in our Satsuma Shizen?”

“When you fight with people, you don’t need to think about winning or losing these messy things.” Note? This is not what the author is talking about. Shixianliu does have such an ancient teaching. span

Having said this, Asai stopped.

Take a deep breath.

Build up your strength.

Then, shouting in Satsuma dialect:

“It’s hard to beat!” (Translation: You’re right!) 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 this Satsuma dialect is used, the dazed mood

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

After shouting “Hold on hard” that no one in the room could understand, Asai, who had no timid expression on his face, raised the knife high, and dashed towards Jijiu fearlessly as if he was one husband!

“Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!”

While running towards Jijiu, Asai opened his mouth wide and uttered the core skill in the manifestation stream: “ape scream”.

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

[Note: Ape Cry: A special kind of chi sound in Satsuma’s Shixian-ryu, the sound is loud and terrifying, and often some timid people are confronted with the Shixian-ryu’s masters, and they are heard by the opposite. The ape screams scared to pee my pants]

After Asai launched the charge, Shimada and Shibata couldn’t help but be stunned for a few moments before they finally recovered, gritted their teeth, raised their weapons, and followed Asai to charge.

Listening to Asai’s words just now, “Go hard”, and now the classic “ape call”, Yoshihisa immediately recognized the identity of the Asai Satsuma.

“Satsuma Hayato… Hmph, Satsuma’s bravery is truly well-deserved.” Looking at Asai who took the initiative to attack him, the corners of Yoshihisa’s mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Asai with a little more appreciation.

[Note · Satsuma Hayabusa: A nickname for the Satsuma man. The Satsuma people are famous for their bravery and combativeness. In the eyes of people from other parts of ancient Japan, the Satsuma people are the epitome of the fighting nation. This is one of the important reasons why the Edo shogunate has always been so afraid of the Satsuma domain]

Asai, who charged straight forward while uttering a “monkey cry”, was indeed imposing—but Yoshihisa, who had been through many battles, immediately saw Asai’s strength on the outside and on the inside.

Although Asai has been enduring the pain in his waist and abdomen, trying to make his movements look more normal, Yoshihisa still saw that there was a serious injury in Asai’s waist and abdomen at a glance.

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

-Did 2 of the 5 people suffer serious injuries…

The opponent in front of him was much weaker than Yoshihisa imagined…

However, Jijiu did not show any carelessness.

Ji Jiu, with a tense face and a solemn expression, shook his hand, quickly assembled the gun in his palm, lowered his body’s center of gravity, and set up a posture.

The white blade flashed—after stepping into the distance where his own sword could hit Jijiu, Asai immediately used the momentum of the forward charge to slash down at Jijiu’s Tianling cover.

Although Yoshihisa had consumed a lot of physical strength when he fought against Genichi on Hikari Maru, and when he rescued Chuguang in the sea, it was more than enough to deal with Asai, who was already injured.

Ji Jiu flashed and attacked – half a step sideways, dodging Asai’s sword, and at the same time launching a counterattack, flicking the tail of the gun, knocking at Asai’s key point.

Asai wanted to retreat and dodge, but He Jijiu’s blow was too fast to dodge.

In desperation, Asai could only retract his saber and stand it up, holding his breath, exerting all his strength, ready to take Jijiu’s attack.

Although Asai has Zhang Junmei’s face and a very tall stature, he is actually a “power-type” swordsman just like Makimura.

He was obviously strong, but after Ji Jiu’s spear collided with his sword, his expression changed drastically.

Asai felt like a mad cow bumped into him.

His arms were immediately numb, and the blade of the expensive knife in his hand was smashed slightly skewed.

It’s normal for Asai to be unable to catch Yoshihisa’s gun, but it’s not normal to catch it.

After all, the former is just an ordinary person who has no extraordinary skills like Genichi and Mamiya, and still has injuries on his body, while the latter is a monster with “undead power” in his body.

Yoshihisa wanted to make up for a blow, which directly killed Asai, but fortunately – Shimada and Shibata’s swords came in time.

Although Shimada is always shy on weekdays due to the lack of worldly winds and waves, but when he is fighting with people, he is not lacking in blood and courage.

Resisting the pain in his leg, he gritted his teeth and swung his knife into Ji Jiu’s forehead from the top of the road.

As Hatsumi’s follower, Shibata also forcibly held back his timidity towards his former “supervisor”, clenched his most powerful weapon: Wakizashi, and cooperated with Shimada to launch an attack on Yoshihisa.

Jijiu originally wanted to use the gun body to fend off the attack of the two, but when he just swung the short gun horizontally in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

Afterwards, he saw that he urgently changed his moves. He no longer chose to avoid the attacks of Shimada and Yoshihisa, but jumped hard one after another, and switched to dodging to defuse the attacks of Shimada and Shibata.

Just as he jumped back, a loud gunshot suddenly exploded, and a scorching projectile was wiped against the nose of Ji Jiu who had just jumped back.

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

Jijiu frowned, squinting at A-cho not far away.

— Among this group of people, it is the woman who poses the greatest threat…

At this moment, A-Ming, who was standing not far away, was holding Su Ying tightly in both hands, and the muzzle of the gun was still floating outward, pointing directly in the direction of Ji Jiu.

Although Asai shouted “Hit up” just now, but he is not a rude man who only knows “Hit up”.

He is quite clear – just relying on their “old, weak, sick and disabled”, it is simply impossible to defeat Jijiu, the real “non-human” in the true sense, by fighting head-on.

Therefore, he regards A-cho, who has powerful firearms and superb shooting skills at the same time, as the most important winner for them to win.

Asai knew: A-cho had a firearm that could fire even in rainy weather.

Only by letting A-cho launch a surprise attack with a musket at the moment can he win.

Therefore, when he issued the “combat instruction” just now, he emphasized to A-Ting that he would try his best to get the best shooting opportunity for her.

Therefore, he will take the initiative to rush to Jijiu, in order to prevent Jijiu from launching a first attack, to prevent Jijiu from approaching A-cho, forcing Ji Jiu to fight with them at a distance, so that the battlefield is far away from A-cho, so that A-cho can shoot.

After listening to Asai’s “battle instruction” just now, A-cho instantly understood what Asai’s intention was, so after Asai and Shimada rushed towards Yoshihisa, she silently prepared to launch shooting support at any time.

There are only a few firearms that A-Machi currently owns: 5 Kentucky long rifles, 2 short guns: Su Ying and Hii Ying, and because the pistols will only be damaged by sea water, they cannot be used at all. It was useful, so before crossing the sea to pursue the second ship, Ogata temporarily handed over Kasumi and Meiran to her for safekeeping.

Fei Ying, Mei Ran, and the five Kentucky long rifles were all flintlock firearms, and they couldn’t be fired on such a heavy rainy day.

Anyway, it’s not useful for the time being, so the five Kentucky long rifles are now thrown to the ground by A-Machi as they get in the way.

Therefore, the only firearms that A-cho can use at the moment are these two revolving pistols made by her and her father that can be fired as usual as long as they don’t throw the whole body into the water: Su Sakura and Kasumi.

After Asai and the others came into contact with Yoshihisa, A-machi has been observing and searching.

Waiting for that best shooting opportunity to appear.

A-machi didn’t wait too long—Yoshihisa, who was preparing to open Shimada and Shibata’s swords, swung the short spear horizontally in front of him, and the whole person stood there, and there were no obstacles around him that would interfere with aiming.

There is no better timing to shoot.

Seeing that the precious time had come, A-Ming did not hesitate or hesitate – immediately took out Su Ying from his arms, aimed at Jijiu’s head, and pulled the trigger.

Her timing, and the speed at which she draws, aims, and fires is 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 has been paying attention to all her actions.

Last night’s “Battle of Longshui Temple”, the precise shooting launched by A-Machi, who was squatting on the beam, really left a deep impression on Yoshihisa.

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

Although the common sense in his mind told Ji Jiu: In such a rainy day, firearms are not used at all. But Yoshihisa still chose to keep an eye on it. When confronting Asai and others who rushed over, he has been watching all A-cho’s actions with the corner of his eye.

It is precisely because of this that Yoshijiu was able to escape the shot from A-cho just now—after seeing A-cho suddenly stretch his hand into his arms, he relied on the super agility and reaction speed given by the “immortal power” to make it in time. He retreated to avoid A-cho’s sniper.

Feeling the slightly scorching tip of his nose after the bullet had passed, Yoshihisa felt a little fortunate in his heart – fortunately, he had been paying attention to A-cho’s every move, otherwise, he might have been hit by A-cho’s surprise attack just now.

Asai, who was knocked back a few steps by Yoshihisa just now, has completely recovered.

After he relaxed his numb arms a little, he raised his sword again and attacked Jijiu from the front.

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

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

Bang!

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

Shibata, whose eyes couldn’t even keep up with Jijiu’s foot, suddenly felt a severe pain in his stomach that seemed to have broken his intestines – Jijiu’s foot firmly kicked Shibata’s belly.

“Cough!” Shibata’s mouth spread uncontrollably, saliva splashing. With the kicked part as the center, his body bent into a bow shape, yearning to fly upside down, and the wakizashi in his palm let go and flew out.

While kicking Shibata, Yoshihisa stabbed Asai right in front of him with a spear.

Ji Jiu’s spear head is like a snake coming out of a hole.

Asaii, who could only barely keep up with Jijiu’s speed, had no time to dodge, instinctively raised his knife and slashed at the spear head that Jijiu had stabbed, preparing to attack Jijiu, but he, who was not as powerful as Jijiu, only managed to let the spear end. The direction of the stab was slightly shifted, and Jijiu’s attack was not completely blocked.

The stabbing attack that originally went straight to Jijiu’s chest was blocked by Asai desperately, and the tip of the gun was lowered slightly, the tip of the gun was attached to Asai’s shoulder, passed by Asai’s body, and smashed a little bit on Asai’s flank. Flesh.

It’s normal, it’s just a normal skin injury.

But it was a coincidence—the place where Yoshiku’s spear stabbed… was the place where Asai was wounded in the battle of Ryusui Temple last night.

The wound, which had always been hot and red, was hit by Jijiu again, and a lot of flesh was slashed—the pain was severe, and the blood on Asai’s face dissipated in an instant, and a big cold sweat from the forehead. Squirting, most of the strength on his body was dissipated by this severe pain, and he couldn’t even stand firm, and his body fell to the ground.

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

Even Asai can’t handle Yoshihisa’s strength and speed, let alone Shimada, who lacks both strength and combat experience.

Facing the tail of the spear swung by Yoshihisa, Shimada only turned the attack into defense, and blocked the blade towards the tail of the spear.

As Shimada, a member of Huluwu, who regards the big sentence as the basic unit of buying things, the saber he uses is naturally not a cheap one. Absolutely unstoppable knife.

So—after the tail of Yoshihisa’s spear collided with Shimada’s saber, Shimada’s saber did not break, only the blade was slightly skewed.

Yoshijiu’s spear end just held the saber that was smashed to the side, hit Shimada’s left arm, then hit Shimada’s left arm, hit his left rib, and finally hit Shimada like a baseball. Tian fell to the ground.

Shimada’s defense still played a lot of roles, and successfully dissipated a lot of strength on the tail of Yoshiku’s spear, so when Yoshiku’s spear tail hit his left arm and left rib, only Shimada’s left arm was broken. , left rib fracture.

Although such an injury is not fatal, it is clear that in a short period of time, Shimada is afraid that it will be difficult for him to launch another threatening attack on Yoshihisa.

Yoshihisa only used 3 blows successively to knock Shibata, Asai, and Shimada to the ground in one go.

Bang!

At this time, the gunshot resounded.

A-cho, not far away, pulled the trigger again on Yoshihisa.

Just now, seeing Yoshijiu dodging her first surprise attack, A-Ting was indeed a little flustered, but she quickly stabilized her mind, held her 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 weather, Yoshihisa has regarded A-cho as his biggest threat in this battle.

Yoshihisa, who raised his guard on A-machi and watched A-machi’s every move more carefully, once again grabbed the bullet before A-machi pulled the trigger.

Ji Jiu frowned a little, and secretly said in his heart:

—This woman… As expected, she must be killed immediately.

Although the physical strength brought by “the power of immortality” gives Yoshihisa the confidence to escape every bullet fired by A-cho, firearms are firearms after all, and if A-cho, who has such a powerful weapon, has been ignored , Jijiu has always been unable to settle down.

Asai and others, who have been brought down, are no longer threatened. So—Yoshijiu turned around and rushed down the mountain in the direction of A-Ming and A-Tsuki!

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

…

…

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

(…who are you?)

(I, I, my, my name is Shibata! You, you are so beautiful! This, this, this time, I can go on a mission with you, I, I am so happy… ah, no, I am honored!)

(…Although you said to a 12-year-old girl with excitement, “You are so beautiful”, I felt a little nervous, but thank you for the compliment. It’s rare that you have a surname. It’s the first time I’ve seen it. Iga ninja with his own surname, if your surname is Shibata, what is your name?)

(That… I don’t have a surname 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 that.)

(Oh… Shiba Inu, I also like Shiba Inu.)

(Wow wow!)

(…Even if you go to the ground and learn to bark, you won’t become a Shiba Inu… Get up, it’s a shame.)

(Wow wow!)

…

– I’m… dying…?

Covering his stomach and lying on his back, Shibata looked at the sky that was still raining heavily, and asked himself in his heart.

For some reason, Shibata recalled the scene when he first encountered Chu Guang.

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

Shibata, whose belly was firmly stabbed by Yoshihisa, now only feels that his intestines are broken into countless knots.

-Now…it’s not time to die…at least…you have to make sure that Miss Hatsune is completely safe…before you die.

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

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

And as soon as he raised his head, he saw Jijiu carrying his short spear and heading straight for A-Ming and A-Tsuki.

—Damn…! There’s nothing… a way to bring that **** down? !

Shibata’s lips pursed tightly, his hands resting on the ground slowly clenched, his fingers digging deep into the flesh.

-What else…? !

—Is there anything else I can do?

A dazed Shibata appeared on his face, looking around, trying to find something that could come in handy in the current battle. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

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

-Ok?

Shibata’s expression suddenly froze, and his head looking around stopped.

Seeing his head dazed, he stared straight at the first light that passed out on the rocky beach not far away.

…

…

Seeing Yoshijiu running towards them, A-Ting or A-Ting standing beside A-Ting, their expressions changed.

A-cho traveled with Ogata for so long, and accompanied Ogata to see so many winds and waves. Before he knew it, he had already cultivated a pair of determination and courage that was far superior to ordinary people.

But even so, after seeing Yoshihisa coming straight towards them with a murderous look on his face, A-cho’s face turned white uncontrollably.

A-machi is still like this, let alone A-zhu who has never seen anything in the world – A-zhu not only turned pale, but even the hands that held Wakizai trembled slightly.

Asai they have been brought down.

Xuan Zheng, an old guy without half a weapon on his body, has basically zero combat power.

In other words…the only two female shinobi who still have the ability to fight Yoshihisa are A-cho and Azu.

Under the misty heavy rain, the battlefield turned into a confrontation between three ninjas, Yoshiku, A-Machi, and A-Tsuki.

The reason why the name of Chuguang’s attendant was set as “Shibata” is because the image of this person is “Shishi Inu”.
