I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Skulucci’s Camp—

Ogata gently shook the glass in his hand that was filled with half a glass of alcohol.

This is the drink Skulucci just gave him.

According to Skulucci, this is a strong drink often used by their Cossacks to quench the cold. Drinking a glass can not only dispel the body's chills, but also slightly relieve the body's fatigue.

Since leaving the Red Moon Fortress, Ogata has been on his way almost all the time except for sleeping and necessary rest.

Sometimes in order to save time, even eating meals are solved right away-eating dry food while riding a horse.

Because these days I have been living a life of eating and sleeping, and I haven't had a good rest, so Ogata is really tired now.

He raised his glass and took a few sips.

The hot and spicy drink reminds Ogata of Genichi's proud work-"Oolong Tea".

However, after this hot and spicy drink rolled down the esophagus into the stomach, it was really as Sculucci said just now—not only could it dispel the cold, but it could also relieve tiredness.

After a few sips of drinks fell, Ogata also became a little more energetic.

"What a messy camp..." After putting down his glass, Ogata looked around.

Skulucci’s camp reminds Ogata of the garbage dump in his previous life—they are so messy that there are only a handful of places to get their feet off the ground.

Now Skulucci, the host, is not there, so Ogata is too embarrassed to walk around and look around, so he can only continue to sit quietly.

Compared with ordinary people, Ogata has one more thing to pass the time than ordinary people—checking his personal system interface.

【Current Personal Level: LV38】

【Sakihara One Sword Style Level: 13 Steps】

[Level of Two Swords without Me: 12 levels]

[Shiranui Ninjutsu Level: 8 levels]

[Remaining skill points: 4 points]

During the recent period, fierce battles have been one after another, first attacking the first army camp, and then breaking through the blockade of the shogunate.

The overwhelming battle has caused the experience value of Ogata’s various experience bars to increase rapidly.

The level of Wumei Second Sword Style was even smoothly promoted, rising to level 12, allowing Ogata to add 2 more skill points.

Counting the 2 skill points originally stored, Ogata now has 4 skill points in total.

"It's getting harder and harder to upgrade..."

After whispering a sentence of emotion that would basically come out every time he checked the personal system interface, Ogata silently closed the interface.

As soon as the interface was closed, the footsteps that he had been waiting silently from a moment ago finally sounded outside the account:

"Sorry, sorry for keeping you waiting."

Skulucci lifted the veil of the camp carelessly and went into the tent.

"I just went to say goodbye to my chief. I didn't expect that it took a lot more time than expected..."

"Farewell?" Ogata asked in confusion.

"Before you came, I was chatting with my chief." Skulucci replied, "So before I talk to you in detail, I have to talk to my chief first and let him take the drinks and dishes. Put it away first, and then eat slowly together later."

"...I'm sorry." Ogata said in an apologetic tone, "My sudden visit has caused you trouble."

Skulucci waved his hand boldly: "It's okay. I'm happier when you come to see me. This way, I will have one more person to chat with."

"Okay, let's get to the point, Mashima-kun."

"You said you need my help, what's the matter? If it's something I can do, I'm happy to help."

After all, Skulucci sat down on a hammock in front of Ogata.

"What I will say next...may scare you." Ogata said slowly, "So please be prepared."

"I'm a Cossack who is used to seeing strong winds and waves." Skulucci smiled freely, "No matter what, I can't be scared."

…

…

After 10 minutes—

"...Sorry, Mashima-kun, can you give me some time and let me slow down."

After that, without waiting for Ogata's reply, Skulucci raised his wide right hand, covered his entire face, and kneaded his temples on both sides with his thumb and middle finger.

Ogata didn't say a word, silently waiting for Skulucci to relax.

After a few minutes, the Wizard of Sculp finally let go of his hands that kneaded both temples.

"I understand what you mean..."

"In a nutshell... Do you want me to help you fight back the Japanese army that is now surrounding the Red Moon Fortress?"

Ogata nodded.

"The reward is half of the belongings in the Red Moon Fortress, and a favor between you and the Ainu people in the Red Moon Fortress."

Ogata nodded again.

After asking these two questions, Skulucci once again buried his hand in his right palm and kneaded his temple with his thumb and middle finger.

"Did Japan dispatch troops to attack the Red Moon Fortress... Is that true..."

"Sure enough?" Ogata asked in a puzzled tone.

Skulucci lifted his face from his palm:

"Majima-kun, after separating from you and leading my subordinates here to meet with my chief, I heard from my chief that Japan sent a large army into Ezo land."

"But I don't know where the Japanese army is going to attack."

"At that time, I guessed that the target of the Japanese army was most likely the Red Moon Fortress."

Skulucci picked up a glass of wine next to him and took a gulp.

"The place where the fortress is located is a treasure."

"It is not only located in a dangerous location, but also extremely rich in resources. We need water and water, wood and wood, flat land and flat land, and prey and prey."

"And we Cossacks learned through the intelligence network that Japan will vigorously develop Ezo land a year ago."

"If Ezo land is to be developed on a large scale, it is impossible to ignore this geographically important Red Moon Fortress anyway."

"Furthermore—if it's just to attack the Ainu villages, or to deal with us Cossacks, there is no need to dispatch such a large army."

"The whole area of ​​Ezo land is worthy of the Japanese army of this size, and only the Ainu people who sit in that fortress."

"So after learning from my commander that Japan had sent a large-scale army northward, I guessed that the target of the Japanese army was most likely the Red Moon Fortress."

"Unexpectedly... I guessed it..."

Skulucci smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Really... it made me think of some bad memories..."

A reminiscence appeared on Skulucci's face.

"Mashima-kun. This kind of army for the purpose of plundering and occupying is really annoying."

He said lightly.

"My hometown... was destroyed by such an army."

Before Ogata had time to respond to Skulucci's somewhat sad words, Skulucci raised his glass again and took another sip of the wine.

"Tsk... Now think about it carefully, if only I could know about the Japanese army going north soon."

"This will prevent Mashima-kun from going to that place in advance. Then there will be no such troubles in the follow-up."

"The past is over." Ogata also took a sip of the drink in his hand. "It's useless to worry about the past. Instead of worrying about the past, it's better to focus on thinking about the future. ."

"Your consideration for the future is to ask me to help you, together to repel the Japanese army that is now surrounding the fortress?" Skulucci smiled, and continued in a half-joking tone, "Use A few elite soldiers came to attack the enemy... Mashima-kun, are you the hero named Oda Nobunaga who wants to learn from your country?"

Having said that, Skulucci straightened up and sang in a slightly weird voice:

"Fifty years of life, like a dream and an illusion, there is no one who will live forever."

Ogata raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"You know Oda Nobunaga, and you can sing "Atsushi"."

"I have been exploring the Far East for so long, and I have some understanding of the history of your country." Skulucci shrugged, "As for "Dun Sheng", I can only sing such a sentence."

"Atsushi": A famous piece of "Fortunately Dance" in the traditional Japanese drama "Noh". This dance is a household name in Japan.

"Dun Sheng" has left a legend in history because of someone. In the Warring States period more than two hundred years ago, there was a young prince. A neighbor who was several times stronger than his, launched an army of tens of thousands to launch an all-out attack on his territory.

There are tens of thousands of enemies coming.

And that person's command only had a few thousands of soldiers and horses.

Faced with this overwhelming strength difference, the man did not surrender to the enemy, nor did he give up on himself. Instead, he mobilized all the elite troops in his hand and launched a surprise attack on the powerful enemy.

Before the attack, the man skipped a section of "Dun Sheng".

After the end of the song and the dance, the man stepped on his horse and led the elite troops to launch an offensive against the enemy.

This surprise attack miraculously broke the enemy's original formation.

The enemy general and a number of senior generals under his command were all beheaded.

This war that everyone thought was bound to be defeated was ultimately won by that man by this miraculous surprise attack.

And that person is Oda Nobunaga.

As for the person who used more to fight but was attacked by Oda Nobunaga, it was Yoshimoto Imagawa, who has the reputation of "the No. 1 Yudori in the East China Sea". He was originally confident enough to eliminate the Oda family effortlessly, but he died under the surprise attack of the "rats" he despised.

After this battle, the powerful Imagawa family became weak, and Oda Nobunaga began his hegemony with this battle.

"Mashima-kun. Until now, I have not been able to calm down for a long time..."

After taking another sip of wine, Skulucci continued to say in a half-joking tone:

"My team, including me, has only 86 people in total. Are you planning to rely on these 86 people and yourself to repel the 10,000 army..."

"You are crazier than that Oda Nobunaga..."

"If you can hit the opponent by surprise, it's not without chance." Ogata said quietly, "The 10,000 Japanese army is not a very high morale elite."

"If a few elite cavalry are used to carry out a surprise attack on the enemy, it is not impossible for dozens of people to flee the 10,000 Japanese troops."

"...You're right." Skulucci shrugged with a wry smile. "It's really not without chance. If it succeeds, you can get half of the Red Moon Fortress, as well as you and Ainu in that city. People’s favors. It’s just overturned."

"But ah—"

Skulucci's words suddenly changed.

And his sudden turn of words also made Ogata's heart tremble.

"No matter how generous the reward is, you have to have a life flower."

Skulucci gave Ogata a meaningful smile.

"My subordinates, it is impossible for everyone to be willing to accompany you to their lives."

"So—Mashima-kun, sorry."

…

…

4 days later—

…

…

Red Moon Fortress—

"Quick! Surround him! Stabb him to death!"

Several Hejun soldiers held long spears, formed a semicircular formation, and attacked Tang Shen.

Tang Shen coldly snorted, and instead of retreating, while avoiding their stabbing, he stepped forward to one of the soldiers, then smashed his head with a knife, and then drew an exaggerated horizontal slash. All the rest of the surrounding soldiers were knocked down.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Tang Shen seized the time, taking advantage of the fact that there were no other enemies around, adjusting his already rapid breathing.

However-the already white-hot battlefield, there is no room for Tang Shen to rest quietly.

After a while, Tang Shen saw enemy soldiers appearing on his left front and right front—and they were both in large numbers.

No matter how Tang Shen could fight, he only had one pair of hands, and he could only deal with enemy soldiers in one direction.

"Hey! Here are a few people! Block the enemy on my right! I'll solve the one on the left!" Tang Shen yelled.

However...there are very few reconcilers...

Only 5 soldiers responded to Tang Shen, holding weapons to face the enemy soldier on the right side of Tang Shen...

Looking at these five fighters, Tang Shen's eyes flashed with rich and complex colors.

Today is the 9th day of the "Red Moon Fortress offensive and defensive battle".

At the same time—it was also the 11th day that Ogata left the Red Moon Fortress.

Chanup and the others have withstood the onslaught of the shogunate for 9 days.

The outer city walls have now been stained with blood to a strange color.

The shogunate has killed and injured countless people.

And on the side of the Red Moon Fortress-there were also numerous casualties in these 9 days.

Tang Shen has been on the front line in person these days, so I can feel more clearly than anyone else that their forces are being reduced at an appalling rate these days...

"There are fewer and fewer people who can take up weapons..." he whispered.

After clenching his teeth and squeezing this sentence from the gap between his teeth, Tang Shen clenched the Japanese sword in his hand, and once again plunged into the **** battle where your death is my death...

…

…

"Quick! Shoot towards that place!" Chanup ordered several archers beside him, "You can't let those people climb up from that place!"

"Mr. Chanup!" A young soldier rushed to Chanup's side. "The westernmost position is about to be lost! Please send some more reinforcements!"

"Didn't I already transfer someone?" Lin Ziping, who was standing next to Chanup, asked Chanup back.

"It is indeed here to help! But...the people who come to help are not very able to fight, please send more help!"

"Tsk..." Lin Ziping's expression turned gloomy for an instant, "Did the worst situation finally appear..."

Lin Ziping's face was gloomy-in terms of ugliness, Chanup's face was no better than Lin Ziping's.

…

…

Outside the city, the shogunate army, the whole army's main line—

Inamori embraced his arms and stared blankly at the fortress where he could still hear some screams even though he was far away.

The weather today is not so good. Since this morning, the sky has been filled with thick dark clouds.

This terrible weather also made the sky darker faster than ever.

Inamori raised his eyes and looked at the sky that was getting darker.

"It's the 9th day..."

Inamori whispered.

"Did you fail to win the outer wall of the Red Moon Fortress today..."

After uttering this somewhat indignant mutter, Inamori turned his head and said to the cronies beside him:

"Send the order to the front-retreat."

…

…

Holding a pot of hot water, Otunpuyi looked at the scene in front of him blankly.

As the battle for the city continues to heat up, the number of wounded is also increasing, and there is an urgent need for more helpers to assist in the treatment.

As a result, Otunpuyi was transferred to Kunoya's commander today and became one of Kunoya's assistants.

As a man, Otunpuyi was originally a member of the "reserve army" who would go up to the city wall to fight at any time.

But-Otunpuyi's strength is really terrible.

Not only is his physique not very strong, he also exposed his low level of archery in the "hunting festival" that just ended not long ago.

If such a person goes up to the city wall, I am afraid he will die.

Therefore, when choosing who to send to Kunoya's office to assist in the treatment of the wounded, Otunpuyi was transferred from the "reserve army" by a nearly unanimous vote and transferred to Kunoya's command.

Now, it is the first time for Otunpuyi to "get on duty".

As soon as he came to the "treatment area" with hot water, Otunpuyi was stunned by the **** sight in front of him.

Looking around—the wounded with various injuries are lying everywhere.

Some have lost limbs...

Someone has a terrible mouth...

I don’t know when I died...

Otunpuyi, who has never even tried hunting alone, has never seen such a **** sight?

This **** sight, this **** gas piercing into his nostrils, caused Otunpuyi's head to stop running, and the whole person stood there blankly...

"Hey! Kid! Don't be stunned! Don't hurry up and bring the hot water!"

At this time, Kunoya's shout suddenly sounded.

Hearing Kunoya's shout, Otunpuyi, who was in a trance, was immediately awakened.

"Yes, yes!" He quickly responded loudly, holding a pot of hot water in his hand, and hurried to Kunoya not far away.

After coming to Kunoya's side, Otunpuyi saw that she was treating a young man with a big stomach opening.

"Ku, Kunoya..." The man's face was extremely pale, he raised his hand and grabbed Kunoya's clothes, and said in a tone that seemed to cry at any time, "I... can I help..."

"You don't want to be noisy here, and you can save it." Kunoya said, "you are lucky that your internal organs are not injured. Just sew this incision."

"It hurts when you sew the wound, so bear with it."

"Hey, kid."

Kunoya turned to look at Otunpuyi.

"Come here to help and wipe the skin around this person's wound together."

Otunpuyi turned his stiff neck and looked at the young man's wounded abdomen.

The young man's belly was probably cut by a knife, and the scary incision spanned most of his abdomen.

Otunpuyi could see the peristalsis of this person's small intestine through the wound.

Seeing this, Otunpuyi couldn't bear it anymore.

Turned around and vomited to the ground beside him.

"Take it up," Kunoya said in a calm tone. "After vomiting one or two times, you can get used to it."

…

…

At this moment—

Red Moon Fortress, somewhere—

"Shendu, are you asleep?"

"Almost fell asleep." Tang Shen responded to Chanup and slowly opened his eyes.

At the moment when night had fallen, Tang Shen embraced his Japanese sword and sat in a remote corner where no one passed by.

In front of him, stood Chanup carrying a bag of dried meat and a bag of water.

"Here. I'll bring you dinner."

Chanup handed the dried meat and water to the **** of soup.

"Haha..." Tangshen smiled in a low voice, "Fortunately, you don't lack food and drink here. You can eat all meals."

"If you can't even eat enough to eat, it's really hard to endure..."

After all, Tang Shen took over the dried meat and water from Chanupu.

"You eat slowly." Chanup said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave."

"...Chanup, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"Six days ago... When I decided to help you, you told me that you would have to stay for another 10 days at least."

"Now, 6 days have passed."

"There are only 4 days left until your '10-day period'. Can you tell me what medicine you are selling in the gourd?"

"...Sorry. I can't say yet." Chanup shook his head.

"Haha..." Tang Shen smiled in a low voice, "Hidden so deeply...you make me more curious..."

"Have you prepared any miraculous plan that can defeat the shogunate outside the city in one fell swoop?"

"It's up to you to imagine." Chanup said softly.

"...Chanup, I think I need to remind you..." Tangshen lowered his head, his voice calmly, and said in a low voice, "I have already clearly felt that there are so few people who can take up weapons to fight. "

"Let me say something pessimistic-we might... we can't last another 4 days..."

"...Don't think about it so much, Shendu." Chanup said softly, "You should be very tired now, so please rest assured first."

"For the next thing, just wait and think about countermeasures slowly."

"...Hmm." Tang Shen nodded, "That's right..."

Speaking of this, Tang Shen seemed to have thought about something, and paused.

Just when Chanup was about to turn around and leave, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Tangshen said again:

"...Chanup, don't lie to me."

"If nothing happens after 4 days, I can't spare you."

"... Hmm." Chanup smiled kindly at Tang Shen, "Don't worry. Four days later, there must be a scene that surprises you."
