I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Latest website: Yesterday's book friend [Magic Kun] suggested that there was a small bug in the chapter yesterday.

As mentioned above, the night when these Cossacks attacked Qina Village was a cloudy dark night.

Then the book friend said that it was so dark, it should be difficult for those Cossacks to shoot accurately.

I think it makes sense.

In fact, for the setting of the weather, I just wrote a "cloudy sky" in hand, and didn't do much in-depth study.

I now think that the book friend made a lot of sense, so I am now making a small correction to the plot-the night when these Cossacks attacked the village of Qinah, it was a clear night, and the moonlight was as bright as daylight.

*******

Whoosh—!

An arrow shot from the dark cut through the air and hit a Cossack in the chest with precision.

The arrow is so powerful that the Cossack feels his chest is about to shatter.

Unbearable to bear the severe pain, the Cossack did not sit still and fell from his horse.

The Don hippos used by their Cossacks are generally between 1.5 and 1.6 meters tall at the shoulder.

Falling from this height, even if you fall in the least vulnerable position, it is impossible to feel painless.

The Cossack who slid off his horse saw the ground covered by thick snow, but at this time the ground that had been trampled in disorder came towards him.

He fell heavily to the ground, splashing thin snowflakes.

Because it was on the ground with his right shoulder, the Cossack now only felt terribly painful in his right shoulder.

The severe pain made his right arm temporarily unconscious.

However, he can't care about his right arm now.

After being shot to the ground by the suddenly flying arrow, the Cossack immediately drew the arrow from his chest with a panic face, and then tried to squeeze out the poisonous blood or something.

He had just seen how several of his companions were killed by these poisonous arrows.

Although he had drawn arrows as fast as he could, it was a pity—even if he squeezed the poisonous blood in time, it was of no use.

As soon as he pulled the arrow out of his chest, his body suddenly twitched.

After that, the strands of white foam spit out from his mouth, and finally fell heavily to the ground, no longer moving, and no more interest.

Vladimir was just not far from the man who died of poisoning.

Seeing another one of his subordinates died of poisoning, Vladimir looked as usual, as if the dead weren't his subordinates at all.

Vladimir said in his heart:

—These Ainu poisoned arrows are really troublesome.

Vladimir has been exploring Ezo land for half a year.

During the past six months, Vladimir did not spend every day watching snow and bears.

He also did a good job of completing their mission to explore the Far East, which was sent by the Tsar, the supreme ruler of their country of Lucia.

During this half-year expedition, Vladimir also collected a lot of information about the indigenous Ainu people in this place.

For the time being, bears are animals whose qualities are far superior to humans.

Just the wolves who like to live in groups, attack others and hug them, are enough for humans to drink a pot.

It is too inefficient to use only bows, spears, and daggers against powerful animals such as bears and wolves.

When hunting bears, even if you shoot a dozen ordinary arrows, you may not be able to shoot them to death.

So the Ainu invented poison.

The venom formula used by the Ainu in different places is slightly different.

Vladimir only knew that the venom used by the Ainu in a certain area in the north was made from a mixture of aconitum root and stingray's poisonous needle-extremely toxic.

Vladimir had seen how an Ainu man wiped this poisonous arrow with an arrow and killed a bear within 10 breaths.

The bear stood up and was about 2 meters high. Such a big bear just hit this poisonous arrow and failed to live for 10 breaths.

Vladimir didn't know what material the venom used by the villagers of China was made.

He only knew that once his subordinates hit the arrows they shot, they would be poisoned to death in just 5 or 6 breaths.

-It is more convenient to fight against such natives who use poisonous arrows to wear heavy armor.

Vladimir then secretly said in his heart.

As far as Vladimir knows, an important factor in the Japanese victory in the fight against the Ainu is because the Japanese mastered the technology of ironmaking and were able to make iron armor.

The iron armor greatly weakened the threat posed by the Ainu's poisonous arrows to the Japanese.

Ainu wanted to use poison arrows to bring damage to enemies wearing armor, either by shooting at places that were not protected by armor, or by shooting through the armor with sufficient force-but there are only a handful of shooters who can do this.

Although many of his and Alexei's men have fallen, Vladimir has not shown the slightest anxiousness or annoyance.

Because of this casualties, they are still within a tolerable range.

The morale of the subordinates is still very high.

This is not an encounter that won't do any good after the fight.

This is a battle that you can indulge in plundering after the fight.

They have had a long period of hardship before.

In addition to watching snow every day is watching snow.

They all want to vent their long backlog of desires tonight.

So even if you have witnessed many companions falling from horses and dying, the morale of the remaining people is still high.

The desire to plunder, indulge, and release their desires made them completely ignore the counterattacks of the dead and injured companions and the villagers of Qina Village.

After rushing into the village, the morale of Flamikir and his men rose slightly.

Because they found out—their boss didn't lie to them.

In this village, there are really more women than men.

Although the women in this village looked sturdy, they bravely counterattacked them with bows and arrows and other weapons.

Whether it's Vladimir or Alexei, it's not the first time that their subordinates have held a knife and murdered.

Europe has not been peaceful in recent years.

Before coming to the Far East, they had participated in a lot of battles in Europe.

I dare not say that he has experienced hundreds of battles, but the combat experience is definitely sufficient.

Therefore, even if the villagers of Qina Village possess the poisonous arrow, it is still difficult to fight against the Cossacks who have both sophisticated equipment and excellent combat experience.

Vladimir rode his horse somewhere in the village of China, under the protection of several subordinates, observing the battle situation in his field of vision-the battle situation is described in one word, which is very good.

Vladimir didn't know what other areas he couldn't see. Anyway, the Ainu people within his field of vision were completely suppressed.

He guessed-the rest of the region is probably the same.

Just as Vladimir was so complacent and began to imagine the scene where everyone would divide the spoils together later, a subordinate hurriedly rushed towards him.

"Boss! Boss!"

"What's the matter?" Vladimir frowned and looked at the subordinate who rushed towards him. "What happened? Why are you panicking?"

"Something went wrong in the east and the east!" the subordinate screamed, "Suddenly a very powerful guy appeared, and even killed a lot of us!"

"He is wearing Japanese clothes! It seems to be all Japanese!"

"Japanese?" Vladimir's eyes widened.

…

…

Ahili didn't know what her friends were doing now, anyway, she felt that her mind was muddled.

The battle situation was completely different from what she had imagined before.

Although she wasn't as confident as the girl with the red headband before, she didn't think they would beat these white-skinned strangers.

After all, they won so beautifully in the battle with the incoming gold thief last year.

Strange sounds like the sound of something exploding, screams, horseshoes... These sounds that sounded one after another, tied tightly to her chest like silk threads, making her feel difficult to breathe.

Ahili guessed-his mother, who is still lying next to her, and his three friends are probably the same.

They are now without exception, their faces are as pale as Ahili.

Although they tried to conceal it, they still could see the color of fear in their eyes.

The girl with the red headband is no longer confidently saying, "I want an enemy with one arrow."

Girls with purple and blue headbands—the two of them are now trembling with their lips.

Although Ahili's mother is a beautiful woman in her early 30s, her vision is not as broad as that of Bahili and the others.

Facing the Cossacks' muskets, Ahili's mother also panicked.

The chaotic mood caused them to be unable to perform to their level.

Up to now, except that Ahili's mother successfully shot a Cossack and killed him by poison, the record of the four of Ahili and them is still -0.

Aheli now feels his arm is sore.

She can't remember how many arrows she has drawn from the quiver behind her back.

She only knows that her arm is sore now, and if she shoots a few more arrows, she probably won't have the strength to draw the bow again.

Just when Ahili drew another arrow from the quiver behind her back and did what she could to do her best, she suddenly heard a scream on her side.

A familiar scream.

Aheli followed the reputation—the one who screamed was the eldest sister who lives next door to her house.

As a result of living close, Ahili has a very good relationship with this big sister.

From time to time, Ahili would go to this big sister to play, and this big sister sometimes got some delicious food, and would give it to Ahili.

She was also like Aheli and the others, lying on the roof of the house, using a bow and arrow to meet the enemy.

But just now, she was hit by a stray bullet.

The stray bullet hit her left leg.

The powerful force contained in the bullet directly knocked her off the roof and fell onto the snow.

The blood that shed from the wound soon stained the ground beneath her.

She was holding her left leg and constantly wailing and screaming. She lost the strength and ability to get up and run away.

Big sister, if she doesn't leave the ground quickly, she will definitely die.

So—Ahili gritted his teeth, let go of the bowstring that had been slightly stretched, and then said to the mother and the girl with the red headband beside him:

"Mom! Ella! Let's carry that big sister to a safe place!"

The girl with the red headband also found the big sister who was unable to move because of her left leg injury.

Ahili's mother and the girl with the red headband didn't hesitate and think too much-there is nothing to hesitate and think.

The compatriots who live in the same village are suffering, and they have the opportunity to save people-no matter what, they can't think of any reason not to save people.

The girl with the red headband nodded bluntly, jumped off the roof first, and then ran to the big sister who was still holding her left leg and screaming.

And Ahili and her mother followed her.

The three took advantage of the absence of Cossacks nearby, and quickly rushed to the big sister's side.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yaxili comforted her elder sister, "We're here to save you."

Aheli and the girl with the red headband supported the eldest sister from left to right. And Ahili's mother held a bow to watch.

However, at this moment-anomaly suddenly arises.

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da...

Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes approaching.

As soon as the sound of horseshoes reached Ahili's ears, Ahili's expression instantly froze.

Twisting his stiff neck, Ahili looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes—a Cossack was waving a saber while riding a horse toward them.

After seeing the Cossack who was attacking them, Ahili immediately reacted as if instinctively-she handed her big sister to the girl with the red headband, and then quickly took off the bow and arrow on her back and set the arrow down. Aimed at this attacking Cossack.

And Ahili's mother will set up her bow and arrow almost at the same time.

The speed of this Cossack is so fast, it takes about 3 or 4 breaths before his knife can hit them.

Due to time constraints, the mother and daughter Ahili had no time to take aim, and immediately released the bowstring after pulling it full.

The originally tense strength bounced between the two arms, and the sound of breaking through the air continued.

Two arrows flew straight to the Cossack.

Then the Cossack swung 2 knives in a row, and directly flew the 2 arrows directly.

Ahili and her daughter were horrified.

And this Cossack smiled-he really liked seeing his enemies look like this.

He is a master of sabers, and the arrows of the mother and daughter of Ahili in his eyes are slow enough to easily pull them away.

The girl with the purple headband and the girl with the blue headband were not far away. At this time, the two of them also discovered the abnormality of Ahili and the others. While screaming, they stretched their bowstrings, intending to help Ahili and the others—but they His arrow could not hit the Cossack who was extremely fast because of his excellent equestrian skills.

After a brief period of horror, Ahili's eyes, which often showed cowardly, flashed with a few rays of light called "Determination".

She threw the bow in her hand aside, held the poisonous arrow dipped in venom with both hands, took a firm step, and greeted the Cossack in front of her.

She wanted to stop the Cossack with her body.

Behind her, there are her mother and her friends.

Since her father disappeared, her mother has depended on her for life.

After his father's disappearance, Ahili was very negative and depressed for a period of time. The number of times he cried until no tears came out was even countless.

Thanks to the friends of the girl with the red headband who have been with her, Aheli slowly walked out of the shadow of "the disappearance of his father".

Whether it was his mother or his friends, Ahili didn't want to hurt them.

I don't want to hurt my mother and her friends-as soon as this idea came out of her mind, she felt that there was a huge power in her body that made her dare to think of things like this.

Although he knew that he did this, even if he succeeded in stopping the Cossack, he would definitely be dead, and he would probably only have half his life if he didn't die.

—It must be painful to be hit by such a fast horse...

Ahili couldn't help but secretly said in his heart.

The color of fear clung to Ahili's pupils, and his eyes were covered with a thin mist of fear.

But despite his fear, Ahili moved his feet firmly to meet the Cossack.

Ahili's mother and the girl with the red headband finally discovered Ahili's intentions at this time, and yelled at Ahili, wanting Ahili to come back-but it was too late.

Ahili was only one horse away from the Cossack.

—Please be successful!

She prayed loudly in her heart.

I prayed that my own sacrifice would be able to block this Cossack and save my mother and friends.

—Please be successful!

Ahili made the same prayer again in his heart.

Then he clenched the poison arrow in his hand and rushed towards the Cossack ahead...

…

…

Ahili suddenly saw a dark figure.

…

…

A dark shadow leaped from the roof next to her.

The dark shadow leaped high from the roof next to her.

The whereabouts of this dark shadow is-the Cossack who has rushed in front of her.

For some reason, this dark shadow reminded Ahili of the bear and wolf that pounced on his prey.

Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi—!

The sound of a sharp weapon splitting flesh and bones sounded.

The black shadow held a knife that reflected the dazzling cold light under the moonlight, and the blade was cut from the left shoulder of the Cossack to the right abdomen-he was directly cut in half.

The expression of joy from the Cossacks at seeing a bully enemy turned into horror at this time.

His upper body flew in the air, while the lower body was still sitting firmly on the horse, and continued to rush forward with the horse.

After the black shadow cut the Cossack in half, the moment after landing on both feet, he stretched out his hand to hold Aheli, who was still in the forward position, and pulled him to his side, saving her from being caught. The horse was hit.

Until then, Aheli finally recognized the shadow.

It was someone she had just met.

It was the person who grandma liked very much and wanted him to be the grandson-in-law.

…

…

"You look soft and weak, but unexpectedly you are very spine." Ogata whispered towards Ahili in front of him.

Ahili could not understand the Japanese spoken by Ogata.

She is still immersed in the shock of Ogata's feat of leaping down and cutting the Cossack in half with a knife, and staring at Ogata blankly.

Ogata let go of the hand holding Ahili just now.

Then, using the words I learned from the "Guide to Ezo Language Common Phrases", he whispered towards Yaxili:

"Don't worry. It's all right."

Finally, I heard what I could understand from Ogata's mouth.

It was only then that Aheli realized that Ogata's eyes seemed to be flickering with a peculiar light.

…

…

Time rewinds back to just now—

After hearing the crowd of horse hooves, Ogata and the others immediately rushed out of Skulucci's camp.

As soon as they left the camp, the gang of Skulucci, headed by Afje, who also heard the sound of horseshoes, immediately leaned towards Skulucci and asked Skulucci about their current situation. What to do is to stop the soldiers, or send someone to see what these horseshoes are.

In the face of these men who were leaning over, Skulucci only said, "It's all quiet, let me see the situation first." After that, they all quieted down immediately.

There is no high place nearby, so Ogata and the others can only climb to the top of Skulucci's tent.

Because the tent could not bear the weight of too many people, only Skulucci climbed to the top of the tent to check the situation.

Like a monkey, Skulucci quickly climbed to the top of the tent, then took out the binoculars from his arms, and looked at the direction of the sound of horseshoes.

Although the distance is a bit far away, with the excellent performance of the telescope in his hand and the bright moonlight illumination, Skulucci can barely see-a group of guys riding tall horses are rushing towards Qina Village from the north. . They are about to rush into the village now.

Skulucci could see at a glance—this group of people were his kind, Cossacks.

Just by looking at the horse, you can recognize the identity of their Cossacks.

After all, apart from the Cossacks, no one on this land would have such a tall horse.

The faces of the two leaders of this group, Skulucci is still very familiar.

Skulucci curled his lips, then jumped out of the tent.

As soon as Skulucci jumped back to the ground, one of his subordinates, Afje, first asked Skulucci:

"Boss Skulucci! What the **** happened? (Rusian

"Suka is not listed." Skulucci said calmly one of the words in the Lucian language that Ogata only understands. "It's the snot from the two boars of Vladimir and Alexei. . (Rusian

After briefly explaining the situation to his subordinates, Skulucci looked at Ogata and the others and switched to Japanese.

"It's so unfortunate."

"When it was still light today, I just reminded the people in that village that a group of Cossacks was planning to looting everywhere, so that they should pay attention and be prepared accordingly."

"As a result, they were attacked tonight."

"The number is about 80, coming from the north, the people in that village shouldn't be the opponent of that group."

As soon as Skulucci's voice fell, it was easy to hear dense gunfire coming from the direction of Qina Village.

In addition to the gunfire, a faint scream was heard.

Hearing the intense gunfire, Ayaka's face became hard to look.

Ah Ding's expression changed.

Ogata didn't show too many changes in his expression or face.

Just narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then he turned and ran out of the camp almost without hesitation.

There is no need for Ogata to say anything specifically, Amachi followed Ogata firmly with a face.

Following Ogata, there is Ayaka who has a close relationship with many villagers in China Village.

Looking at Ogata, who turned around and rushed out of the camp without saying a word, Skulucci was stunned, and then hurriedly shouted to Ogata's back:

"Mashima-kun! Where are you going?"

Ogata didn't answer Skulucci.

Because he doesn't have time to answer Skulucci's question slowly now.

Skulucci thought Ogata didn't hear him, and when he wanted to repeat his question aloud, his open mouth suddenly froze, and the words were stuck in his throat.

Because—at a certain moment just now, for some reason, he saw Ogata’s leaving back as...someone's back.

Ogata's back actually overlapped with that person's back.

Although it has been a long time since I saw that person, the back of that person is still deeply burned in Skulucci's mind.

"Yuan Dao..."

Like a conditioned reflex, Skulucci whispered the name of the person softly.

…

…

If you don't help the villagers in Qina Village, they will probably not be able to defeat the well-equipped Cossacks.

Even if you win, it will definitely be a miserable victory.

Do you want to help the villagers of China Village as much as you can? For Ogata, it is not a difficult question to make a decision.

The villagers of China Village today are very enthusiastic about cooperating with Ogata to find clues about the two of Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen-this little favor alone is enough to give Ogata ample reason to draw the sword.

The current situation is racing against time, killing one more person as quickly as possible, maybe one more villager in Qina Village will be protected from harm.

So Ogata decided to use full firepower and did not make reservations.

After rushing out of Skulucci's camp, Xu Jian took a deep breath.

Then his chest began to rise and fall in a specific rhythm.

【Ding! The host enters the state of selflessness! 】

A strange light slowly appeared in Ogata's pupils.

…

…

Timeline back to the present —

Da Da Da Da...

The sound of horseshoes appeared again.

The three Cossacks not far away witnessed the tragic death of their companion being slashed in half by Ogata. While roaring, they rushed towards Ogata.

The three took out the muskets hung on the saddle and pointed their guns at Ogata.

"Be careful! (Ainu Ahili subconsciously yelled at Ogata who was standing next to her.

She had seen with her own eyes how these white-skinned people took the lives of villagers with such long-tube weapons.

Ogata seemed to have turned a deaf ear to Ahili's reminder, his expression did not change at all, and he maintained an expressionless appearance. With his left hand, he pulled out Da Zizi from his waist and silently set up the double knives in his hands.

It's not that Ogata deliberately put on a blank expression.

After entering the "Selfless Realm", the emotional fluctuations will become very small, and the whole person will be in an extremely calm state.

In this state, you will become "too lazy to show your face".

Although pointed at by the muzzle of three black holes, Ogata's face didn't have the slightest panic or fear.

The three Cossacks who were aiming their guns at Ogata, their faces showed ecstasy at this time.

They thought Ogata was also the kind of "half-savage" who had never seen a musket and didn't know what they were holding.

With the blessing of this joy, they almost pulled the trigger at the same time.

boom! boom! boom!

3 gunshots exploded.

Three bullets cut through the air and flew straight toward Ogata.

In the imagination of these three Cossacks, Ogata would immediately be shot three times and fell to the ground groaning in pain.

However—this kind of sight did not appear

Clang, clang, clang!

Ogata held Taishaten and Taizao in his hands, and swiped 3 times in a row.

The bullets fired by the three Cossacks were all shot by Ogata's sword.

In the eyes of others, a bullet that is so fast that it can't catch a ballistic trajectory at all, for Ogata, who has entered the "state of no self", it is as slow as a paper airplane thrown at him by a child.

As long as the trajectory can be clearly captured, then the rest is easy to say.

Ogata, who flicked the bullet directly with a knife, not only surprised the three Cossacks, but also made Ahili, who was standing behind Ogata and witnessing everything just now, stared at nothing and opened his mouth. .

The three Cossacks may not know what swordsmanship, but they know what it means to "a man who can split bullets".

Under the instinct of "fear of death", the three Cossacks wanted to quickly rein in their horses and then flee from Ogata's eyes, as far as possible.

But Ogata did not give them a chance to escape.

After swinging a knife to bounce off the bullet they had shot, Ogata kicked his back and ran towards the three Cossacks.

The three Cossacks who were not able to rein in their horses continued to carry them under their hips and rushed straight towards Ogata.

The one closest to Ogata among the three saw an arc of blade light and swept towards him.

Then, a sharp pain came from his flanks.

A large amount of blood splattered along the wound on the side of the abdomen.

In addition to blood, what splashed out from the wound was his strength.

The Cossack felt less and less able to use his strength, and in the end he no longer had the strength to sit on the horse's back, and slowly fell from the horse's back.

But the horse he was riding on did not notice that the person riding on his back had fallen to the ground, and continued to rush straight forward.

After slashing the first Cossack, Ogata rushed towards the second.

The second Cossack knew that it was too late to run away, so he showed a cruel expression and planned to fight Ogata.

He is a master equestrian, and the horses under his hips have also been his good partners for many years, and they are already in a tacit understanding with each other.

After he patted the hip horse's neck with a certain force, the hip horse immediately roared and raised two front hooves, kicking it towards Ogata.

The power of the horseshoe is not to be underestimated. If you are kicked, you will not die or have half your life.

But for the two front hooves kicked by the horse, Ogata only drew him short and avoided it.

Then-this Cossack... No, it should be said that both the Cossack and his horse saw a sharp light.

Because the horse raised its front hooves, Ogata was inconvenient to use a knife to chop the people on the horse's back.

So Ogata simply chopped off the horse first.

Da Shitian first swept across the horse's belly, and then swept towards the leg of the Cossack on the horse's back.

The Cossack screamed and fell heavily to the ground along with the chopped horse. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Aheli not far away—she was already looking silly at this time.

It's not only Aheli that looks silly.

Her mother and her friends all looked stupid at this time.

For some reason, Aheli suddenly remembered what her grandma had said to her before: "That young man is definitely one of the kind of good men in a million."
