I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Today is the long-lost update at 10 o’clock... well, it’s not very accurate, it’s a few minutes late~

*******

*******

Pu Sheng is the kind of person who is good at killing enemies with "dexterity".

He ran and writhed among the uprising thugs, and drove straight into the enemy line.

The heroic posture of waving the sword like a damp grass easily, causing the enemy's body to shatter one after another, is not inferior to Shengtianmu and the others, wherever Kabuo went, the enemy group retreated like waves and cracked.

"Aizumi" is not yelling like "Sendai".

The generals of the "Sendai Congregation" rushed to kill every enemy in front of them one by one, lest they be left behind.

Their roars and babbles can be clearly heard even through several streets.

This is not the case with "Aizumi".

They are silent.

Everyone closed their mouths tightly, and said nothing.

They only lined up in a tight formation silently, silently carrying the weapons in their hands, silently following Pu Sheng, silently beheading every enemy in front of him.

One is that everyone demonstrates bravery, and the other is to line up to kill the enemy-the atmosphere and style of play of the two units are completely different, but the killing efficiency is comparable.

…

…

"Forward! Forward!" Sheng Tianmu roared, "Don't let go of one! Aizu people are not far away! Don't let Aizu people read our jokes!"

Shengtianmen's voice fell, and a series of call signs rang, responding to his words.

For the people of Sendai, there is nothing more inspiring than "Aizu people are by the side".

Sendai samurai always looked at Aizu samurai not pleasing to the eye.

The reason is that too many people think that the Aizu clan is the most powerful military clan in the Tohoku region.

This made the Sendai Samurai very upset.

They felt that they would never lose to the Aizu Samurai on Wu Yong.

However, I have never had the opportunity to prove this to the world. Since the opening of the Edo Shogunate, apart from the "Osaka Battle" that was launched to destroy the Toyotomi family in the early days of the Shogunate, there has been no more in these two hundred years. A large-scale war broke out.

The Sendai Samurai wanted to compete with the Aizu Samurai but couldn't find a chance.

Therefore, the Sendai samurai cherished the opportunity to form an alliance with the shogunate to fight against the Ainu.

In this battle, we must achieve far more impressive results than the Aizu people-this is a small goal that many Sendai samurai set for themselves in this war.

After hearing the phrase "Aizu people are not far away" by Shengtianmei, every Sendai samurai slayed the enemy even more courageously.

Sheng Tianmu himself is even more motivated than everyone present.

Although his personality is simple, he is also a rough but subtle person.

When he learned that Dingxin Matsuba asked them to "Sendai congregation" to quell the mob that suddenly broke out, Shengtianmu was keenly aware of the high probability that Dingxin Matsuba gave them an examination paper.

Later, after learning that the "Aizu congregation" would also go out with them, but were responsible for different areas, Shengtianmu confirmed that his judgment was correct-Matsudaira Matshinbu was to test the "Sendai congregation" and the "Aizu congregation".

Ikutenme had heard about it before—Mashinbu Matsudaira, who was not familiar with Aizu and Sendai, was very curious about the specific strengths of Aizu and Sendai.

The old man probably wanted to use this suppression of the mob to test the strength of Sendai and Aizu!

Whenever this thought emerged in Shengtianmei's mind, he felt endless power gushing out of his body.

Don't want to be half a step behind Aizu! To see the power of Sendai from the old masters!

This thought made Sheng Tianmu throw himself into the battle with an all-out attitude.

The reason why Sheng Tianmu became the first of the "Xianzhou Seven Spears" is not just because of his superior martial arts.

He can have such a high position in the army, and his powerful "concentration" is also inseparable.

Even if you are on the chaotic battlefield, even if you are fighting to the point of being soaked in blood, Shengtianmu can remain calm at all times and observe the battlefield with calm eyes.

Since entering the battlefield, Sheng Tianmu has discovered that a guy has been frequently making orders to the rest of the people since just now.

The distance was a little far apart, and Shengtian couldn't hear clearly what he was shouting.

But those movements of his, Shengtianmu is in full view.

This guy's status must not be low-Shengtianmu believes so deeply in his heart.

In fact, there is no error in the judgment of the birth objective.

He thinks that the person whose status is not low is the one who caused all these events-Maca Nao.

Since just now, Shengtianmu has consciously moved in the direction of Maca.

Along the way, no one can match.

This group of thugs who suddenly broke up has already begun to show a state of defeat.

There are fewer and fewer people who dare to fight to the end.

More and more people threw down the weapons in their hands and the yellow and white objects that had just been raided from everywhere, and ran away in a hurry.

When they aimed their arrows and gunpoints at the unarmed civilians just now, they looked like wolves.

After being struck by the thunder of the army generals, they cried and cried, clinging to their heads.

"What a pity...!" Sheng Tianmu gritted his teeth and secretly said a pity.

He is now a little annoyed-if there are more soldiers under his hand, he will be able to separate some of his hands and go around the long way, blocking the retreat of this group of thugs, leaving no way for these thugs to escape.

Just when Sheng Tianmu was secretly annoyed, he suddenly saw the banners that appeared one after another.

The military flag embroidered with clover.

Mitsuba Aoi-the family that dominates the entire Edo shogunate: the family pattern of the Tokugawa family.

The emergence of a military flag embroidered with three-leaf sunflowers—what it means is self-evident.

"The Shogunate...?" Sheng Tianmu murmured.

…

…

Regardless of whether the "Sendai congregation" is responsible for the battlefield or the "Aizu congregation" is responsible for the battlefield, countless thugs flee in a hurry in the direction away from the "Sendai congregation" and the "Aizu congregation".

They no longer think about the grand aspirations of revenge against others and the establishment of a country exclusively owned by their Ainu people.

I no longer want any money or property.

In order to be able to escape faster, those who had participated in the robbery just now had thrown all the things they had just looted all over the street.

There is only one thought left in their minds: escape.

They just want to escape at this time.

The clang of armor collision was gradually left behind by them.

Those people who thought they were getting farther and farther away from the Heren's army all smiled with joy.

It's a pity-these smiles on their faces didn't last long.

Because-they suddenly heard the sound of armor collision and the sound of neat and powerful footsteps in front of them.

A group of soldiers wearing all-black armor, lined up in a neat phalanx, appeared in front of them, and appeared in front of their retreat.

A military flag painted with three-leaf sunflower patterns is conducive to hunting in the wind in the queue of these soldiers who suddenly appeared.

It is a soldier of the shogunate.

These shogunate soldiers did not hold knives or guns.

But holding a musket.

A samurai dressed as a general, holding up the army fan with a three-leaf sunflower pattern in his hand, shouted:

"Raise a gun!"

Click, click, click, click...

The sound of the musket being raised sounded.

These soldiers who suddenly appeared were all iron gunners in the shogunate army.

The matchlocks of the muskets in their hands have been ignited, and they are ready to be fired at any time.

Japan has always despised firearms, so the current firearms used by the Japanese army are exactly the same as those used in the Warring States period 200 years ago, without any change.

The musket is still a matchlock.

The artillery is still that kind of bronze gun.

In the past 200 years, the development of firearms in Japan can be said to have completely stagnated.

However-although compared with the rifled guns currently used by Westerners, the arquebus is already a weapon that is so old that it can enter the museum, but after all, the musket is a musket, and its power is hard to resist by the human body.

After the soldiers in the first row had lifted their matchlock guns and pointed their guns at the thugs who fled in a hurry, the commanding officer slammed the army fan in his hand.

"shooting!"

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom…

Intensive gunfire sounded like popping beans.

These iron gunners don't need to care if their guns hit the enemy.

The alignment of matchlock guns is very poor, but standing in a row and shooting together will always hit the enemy.

A row of bullets screamed and swept away, and a mob fell to the ground screaming.

"Change column!"

The admiral in charge of the command yelled again.

The first row of soldiers who had just fired the bullets quickly retreated to the end of the phalanx holding their matchlock guns, and then filled the muzzle with new pellets, put gunpowder into the muzzle, and ignited the matchlock.

The original second row of soldiers has now become the first row of soldiers.

"Raise a gun!" The attendant ordered.

The "original second platoon" soldiers who had become the first platoon raised their matchlock guns.

"shooting!"

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom…

Another row of bullets roared towards the mob who was fleeing for their lives.

"Change column!"

The "original second row" soldiers retreated to the back of the phalanx.

The third row of soldiers is now the first row...

There are 4 rows in the phalanx.

After the soldiers in the 4th platoon have fired their guns, they return to the front row. The first soldiers in the first row have been filled with new projectiles and can shoot at any time.

This tactic is the famous "three-stage strike."

The "San Duan Strike" was first seen in China during the Ming Dynasty.

In the early Ming dynasty, general Mu Ying used matchlocks to deal with rebel elephants and other beasts in Yunnan. He felt that the firing speed of matchlocks was too slow and improved the "three-stage strike" tactics.

As the name implies, the "three-stage strike" means that soldiers stand in three rows to attack the enemy.

When shooting overhead, the second row is ready, the third row is loaded, the first row shoots through the gap of the second row to the last row, the second row launches forward, and the third row fills up the position of the second row. This progressive firing cycle is repeated to ensure that the barrage is not exhaust.

Based on the "three-stage strike" tactics, "four-stage strike" and "five-stage strike" can also be derived...

During the Sengoku period in Japan, the daimyo who almost unified all of Japan, Oda Nobunaga, also used a similar "three-stage strike" tactic.

When Oda Nobunaga launched a strategic decisive battle with the powerful vassals of the time, the Takeda family, he used the "three-stage" tactic to give the Takeda family a head-on blow.

Nobunaga Oda first mobilized 3,000 arquebuses, and then placed an anti-horse fence in front of the shooter.

Then arrange the soldiers in groups of three, let the soldier with the highest shooting accuracy act as the shooter, and the other two are responsible for the assembly work of the bullets and the matchlock.

Oda Nobunaga relied on this tactic to give the Takeda Corps a deep sense of what "times have changed".

At present, the shogunate's "four-stage strike" tactics adopted by the shogunate against these thugs-the shooters lined up in four rows to spread a non-stop barrage of these thugs who fled in all directions.

The "Aizu congregation" and the "Sendai congregation" chased and fought fiercely before, and the iron gunners of the shogunate spread barrage at them.

These thugs who had wanted to escape for their lives immediately became like a headless fly.

…

…

Time rewinds back not long ago-

Matsumae Clan, Matsumae Castle—

According to common sense, a riot broke out in Matsumae Castle, and Matsumae Clan’s feudal mansion should come forward to quell it.

But Matsuhira Dingxin himself took over the commandership of the suppression of chaos, and said to the Matsumae Clan House-you don't have to do anything, just leave everything to me to arrange.

After taking over the supreme command from the feudal palace, Matsudaira Dazunbu swiftly issued an order requesting that the "Aizu congregations" and "Sendai congregations" go to meet and quell the rebellion in the castle. Tachibana standing next to Matsuba Dazunbu asked:

"Old Master, only let the soldiers of Aizu and Sendai who stayed in the city go to quell the chaos, will the number be too small?"

As soon as Tachibana's voice fell, Lao Zhong said:

"Of course I will not just let the soldiers of the Aizu and Sendai feudal clan go to quell the chaos."

"It must be an insurance."

"Tachibana, take a trip yourself and find Inamori."

"Let him immediately send a team of iron gunners, how many people to send, it is up to him to decide, let the iron gunners block the back of those thugs."

"None of those thugs should be spared."

"Yes!"

Tachibana shouted loudly, then lifted the hakama corner of the lower body, and walked quickly away from the room of Matsuhira Dingxin.

After Tachibana retreated, Matsuba Matshin was the only one left in the room.

Songping Dingxin, with his hands on his back, walked slowly to the window again.

From this position, he could not see the place where the riots took place, nor could he hear any killings or smashing sounds. Looking out the window, there was peace outside, and there was no riot in the city at all. .

Just standing by the window and looking straight at the scenery outside of the window, Matsudaira was still expressionless on his face, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

…

…

Time rewinds back to the present —

Although Shengtianmu was unable to see the shogunate who was showing great power due to the distance and position.

But based on the three-leaf sunflower-patterned military flag that was raised high and fluttering in the wind, and the dense arquebus firing, Shengtianmu could roughly imagine that the thugs who were fleeing should be beaten up now. .

However, after seeing the appearance of the three-leaf sunflower banner, Shengtianmu was also a little unhappy.

The shogunate's appearance in such a timely manner indicates that arrangements were made early.

When the orders were given to send them "Sendai" and "Aizu", maybe they also ordered the shogunate's iron gunners to attack and block the mob's back.

Sheng Tianmu dared to conclude that the iron gunners of the shogunate who were sent to stop the mobs were not only to prevent too many mobs from escaping, but also to prevent their "Sendai congregation" and "Aizu congregation" from failing to quell the chaos.

This feeling of being despised of himself and his subordinates made Sheng Tianmu a little uncomfortable.

But he was upset and unhappy, and he didn't dare to tell others about his grievances.

The shogunate is actually the lord of the world (the emperor’s court is nominal, and there is no feudal lord bird emperor), and Sheng Tianmu dare not say a word of complaints against the shogunate.

Sheng Tianmu is very dissatisfied with the command of the shogunate-if such words are spread, it will definitely have some impact on his future official career.

Sheng Tianmu took off the evil ghost mask on his face, wiped the sweat from his face, and discarded all these distracting thoughts in his mind.

When he put the mask back on, he would look as if he was staring at some treasure, and cast his gaze again on the target he had been paying attention to and staring at since just now.

…

…

The sudden appearance of the shogunate iron gunner completely collapsed the mob's morale that was already on the verge of freezing.

Many people have not seen matchlock guns with their own eyes, so many people don’t know what these loud "pops" are all about. They only know that these sounds are dangerous. Every time they sound, someone will be miserable. Screaming, wailing and falling to the ground.

Maca Nao's face... In one sentence, it's like a dead person.

He has been preparing for this day for too long.

Gathered so many subordinates, and prepared a sufficient number of bows, arrows, wooden guns and other weapons. It is for this day to avenge Heren and take his first step towards his ideal of building a country exclusively owned by their Ainu people. .

However, in the end, he didn't even see the shadow of the Matsumae Clan Mansion, and his troops were beaten to a breakdown.

His subordinates are much more unreliable than imagined-if they obediently listen to orders and don't rob the house, their speed will not be dragged down.

The emergence of Heren's army was also much faster than he had imagined.

But now it's useless to think about anything.

He had already seen that all the subordinates in his field of vision had lost the will to fight and fled for their lives in a panic.

Maca has already lost the will to fight.

Now he just wants to escape quickly.

After recovering from the shock and annoyance of the failure, Maca gritted his teeth, and then followed the surrounding men to escape for his life.

Maca cheered herself up in her heart:

—As long as you are alive, you still have a chance!

However—just as he turned his body around and was about to escape for his life, he suddenly heard an abnormal noise behind him.

That is the sound of footsteps approaching.

Maca hurriedly turned his head and looked back-it was Shengtianmu.

Sheng Tianmu carried his Jifei, like a tiger descending a mountain, and ran straight towards Maca.

Although he was wearing heavy armor, his movements were not slow at all.

Maca Nao felt that he just blinked his eyes, and the Shengtianmu had already "teleported" to him.

call-!

Ji Fei smashed towards Maca from top to bottom.

Maca subconsciously raised the wooden gun in his hand to block.

Ka!

His wooden spear only persisted for a moment, before being smashed by the life goal Ji Fei.

Ji Fei, who broke through the defense of the wooden gun, hit Maca Nao's left shoulder heavily.

"Ah ah ah ah ah-!"

Macnao screamed, then fell on the ground and rolled around, clutching his deformed left shoulder.

Sheng Tianmu was merciful, but only shattered his left shoulder and didn't kill him.

These guys who look like high-ranking commanders, capturing them alive are far more valuable and gaining more combat exploits than killing them—this is the only truth on the battlefield.

…

…

Matsumae Clan, Matsumae Castle—

Matsuhira Dingxin, who stayed behind in Matsumae Castle, has been paying attention to the suppression of the sudden uprising mob.

The messenger responsible for communicating to Songping Dingxin at any time, constantly shuttles through the corridor connected to Songping Dingxin's room.

No matter what news came, Matsuhira Dingxin maintained a very calm and expressionless appearance.

"Old Master!"

Another messenger came to Songping Dingxin's room.

"The mob has completely collapsed. At present, the generals are hunting the fish that slipped through the net, and Shengtianmu has captured the commander of the mob!

What this messenger sent was a thorough and great victory.

Kneeling sitting in Matsuba Dingxin's Tachibana smiled.

But Songping Dingxin still maintains the appearance of an ancient well.

"I see." Songping nodded confidently, "Get down."

"Yes!" The messenger who received the good news quickly stepped back.

After the messenger retreated, Matsuba Dingxin took a deep breath, and then slowly said:

"It seems... Pu Sheng and Sheng Tianmu are still very capable."

"I only hope that they will have the same performance today after the start of the real war."

When talking about the term "real war", Matsudaira added a special tone.

"The high-ranking generals in Aizu and Sendai are not scumbags with a mouth." Tachibana answered, "I can feel relieved a little bit."

"Yeah." Matsuhira Dingxin nodded softly, "Those thugs' riots came in time. It gave me a chance to test Gama, Sheng Tianmu and others.

"...It's a pity..." Tachibana lowered her head and said softly after being silent for a while, "These thugs... killed a lot of civilians in the city..."

Hearing Tachibana's words, Matsubishi's expression remained unchanged.

"These thugs not only gave me the opportunity to test Gyu and Sheng Tianmu."

"Also presented the excellent... reason for the war against the Red Moon Fortress to us."

Speaking of this, Matsubishi Dingxin's eyes burst into sharp light.

"It's a pity that so many civilians have died."

Matsubaru said nonchalantly.

"But these casualties should be regarded as necessary sacrifices for us to test Aizu and Sendai, and have an excellent reason to go to war."

…

…

When a fierce blood fight broke out in Matsumae Castle—

"Acho, relax your waist! Clamp your legs!"

"I'm already relaxed, I've clamped... Yeah!"

Ogata: (╬▔ware▔) "Didn't I say to relax the waist and clamp the legs? Look, you slipped down again!"

Ah Ding:??? "I really have relaxed my waist and clamped my legs."

A Ding, showing a wronged look, tried to get his body to sit upright on horseback again.

This place is somewhere in the wild a little far from Qina Village. The ground is flat and there are no obstacles such as trees around.

At this time Ogata was teaching Amachi how to ride a horse.

Before Chepke left the village and went to Heyezhe—that is, the Red Moon Fortress—Xujian proposed to Chepke: He wanted to take away the two horses captured from the white-skinned man, as well as some weapons.

As Ogata expected, Chepke and the others would never refuse their request that was reasonable and easy to handle.

In that fierce battle, many horses died or fled, and a total of 16 horses were successfully captured.

When picking the horses, Skulucci, who was a Cossack and had a good knowledge of horses, came to help.

He helped Ogata and them choose the 2 best and most docile horses.

He picked a red-brown horse for Ogata.

Then, in order to take care of Ah Ding's height of only 1.55 meters, Skulucci specially picked a slightly shorter horse with black and purple hair when he picked A Ding's horse.

By the way-both horses are small mares.

This horse should accompany them for a long time, so Ogata and Amachi each named their horses.

Ogata is not very good at choosing names.

Because Ogata's horse has reddish-brown hair and a color like carrots, Ogata casually named his horse: "radish."

And Ah Ting also named according to the color of her hair, and she is not very good at naming.

She felt that her horse's coat color was like grapes, so she named her horse "Grapes".

After choosing the horses, Okinawa began to teach Ah Ding how to ride a horse.

Then... the scenes of the truth that "everyone has their own strengths and their own shortcomings" appeared in Ogata.

Ah Ding seems to lack the talent for horseback riding.

No matter how many times Ogata said "clamp your legs and relax your waist", he even touched on Amachi himself, but Amachi just couldn't grasp the trick. He either slid off the horse or fell directly from the horse. Come down.

If it weren't for Ogata's quick eyes and hands, every time Amachi was about to fall, he would rush to hug her in time.

Otherwise, after falling from the horse so many times, Ah Ding must have been bruised and swollen.

Ogata wonders if what he did with Amachi in the past has caused Amachi to develop a very bad habit.

In the past, when Ah Ting was riding a horse on him, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Ogata would hold her with both hands.

No one can hold A Ding on horseback now, and A Ding, who feels very unaccustomed, can't grasp the trick for a long time.

"Damn!"

Ah Ding slid off his horse again.

Ogata: ┗|｀O′|┛嗷~~ "Didn't I say that I want to clamp my legs?"

Ah Ding: (.﹏.*)

Maybe it’s because I’ve got a lot of hard work a few days ago, so I didn’t feel very well yesterday, and I felt my head was dizzy and swollen. I felt that I didn’t have enough rest. So I wrote a little less today. Today there are only 7000 words—but this The number of words is quite a lot~
