I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Red Moon Fortress, Rescue Zone—

"Kunoya! This guy is dying! Come and save him!"

"Kunoa! A few more people who are about to die..."

"Kunoa..."

…

"I know!" During this period of time, Kunoya, who always treated everyone calmly, showed an expression of impatience at this time. "Take it slowly one by one! No matter how great I am, once Only one person can be treated!"

As the person with the best medical skills in the Red Moon Fortress, Kunoya naturally shoulders the heaviest responsibility and the hardest work.

Although Kunoya is not a "non-combatant" who is not responsible for confronting the battle, she at this time is also inferred from the number of injuries that are nearly double the number of injuries today compared to the previous two days-today's battle, I'm afraid it is. Very hard...

After finishing the treatment for a young man with a broken arm in front of her, Kunoya shouted to the two assistants—two young girls who were already tired and tired:

"Okay! Bandage this guy's wound!"

After leaving this order, Kunoya ran to another wounded patient who needed urgent treatment without any rest.

When rushing to another patient who needed urgent treatment, Kunoya couldn't help turning her head and looking at the inner city wall not far away to the south.

"That guy Chanup...what the **** is doing...why are there so many injuries today..." she muttered so softly in an unpleasant tone.

…

…

At this moment—

Red Moon Fortress, inner city wall—

"...In short, that's it." Lin Ziping said in fluent Ainu, while scanning the Chanup and others in front of him, "Compared with the Japanese army outside the city, our biggest advantage, It is the superb archery skills cultivated under the years of hunting."

"According to my observations these days, there are not many archers outside the city and the army."

"Nowadays, the samurai are generally out of shape. Most of the samurai would rather spend their energy on the women of the flower street rather than spend their energy on martial arts."

"Now there are very few samurai who are capable and willing to sink their hearts to learn archery."

"So there are not many archers outside the city, and this is what I expected."

"Moreover, we still have the advantage of the'city wall', so when it comes to'opposing shots', we still have the upper hand."

"War, there are two ‘rules’ that must be observed."

Lin Ziping raised two fingers.

"Concentrate your forces as much as possible, fight with more and fight less. And-use your own strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings."

"You are not good at close combat, and if you engage in close combat close combat with the Peace Army outside the city, you will become the most stupid'attack the enemy with your own shortcomings'."

"So if we want to counter the Aizu army, our optimal solution is to further strengthen the number of shooters on the inner city wall and suppress it with arrow rain."

"...Is there no powerful tactics that can be used to deal with the Aizu army?" At this time, someone asked.

Lin Ziping shook his head: "The tactics are just ‘making people play easier’."

"My current defensive configuration is already the best deployment for us in the absence of defense weapons."

"There are no more powerful tactics and deployments."

"I want to counter the Aizu army, except to increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers as much as possible, I can't think of any other way."

Speaking of this, Lin Ziping turned to look at Lei Tanuoer.

"Mr. Retannoe, are all the newly stripped armors painted in our colors?"

Reitanoer nodded: "All the colors have been painted and some people have put them on."

"That's good..." Lin Ziping said softly.

These days, in order to make up for the disadvantages in equipment, Chanup and the others have been picking up the armors and weapons of the Japanese generals that were left on the city wall, and then turned them into their own use.

Although the armors they picked up were basically full-blown armors whose protective properties were not so good, they were better than nothing.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring the "owner wearing enemy armor", the chest position of each set of armor that was pulled out was painted red with the characteristics of their Red Moon Fortress.

After confirming the situation of "equipment recovery" with Leitanoer, Lin Ziping looked around the people in front of him.

"Does anyone have any questions?"

No one answered.

"Since there are no doubts, please disband and go to rest separately." Lin Ziping said, "This afternoon, there will definitely be another hard fight."

"While there is still time, please take a good rest."

"Especially you—Mr. Chanup."

Lin Ziping turned his attention to Chanup, who was standing beside him.

"You haven't rested since the battle started this morning. You don't seem to even have lunch, right?"

"I think you'd better take a break in time now. Otherwise, you will be exhausted, that would be bad."

"Haha." Chanup chuckled a few times, "You are like my daughter..."

Chanup scratched his long hair.

"Don't worry. I'm not a fool who doesn't know how to rest."

"I planned to go back to my home and rest for a while after this meeting."

…

…

The Red Moon Fortress, Chanup’s home—

Tang Shen, who had been sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and rested, heard the sound of his very familiar footsteps outside the house—he recognized who came without having to open his eyes.

"You are back." After saying this, Tang Shen slowly opened his eyes, looked at the door of the house, and looked at Chanup, who has now passed through the door and entered the house.

Chinup, with a tired face, was holding his pipe in his mouth, vomiting and vomiting.

After entering his home, he first looked around.

"Where are Esuma and Otunpuyi?"

"I haven't seen them two since this morning."

"That's it..."

Chanup didn't say much, just continued to smoke his cigarette, walked to Tang Shen's body, and then sat down cross-legged.

After Chanup sat down in front of him, Tang Shen looked at Chanup several times with hesitant eyes, and then, as if to cheer himself up, he took a few deep breaths and then asked Chanup softly. road:

"The battle this morning... was quite fierce... The shouts were so loud that I could hear them clearly. Was the battle today very difficult?"

Chinup took the cigarette gun in his mouth and nodded softly: "This morning, I can't beat enough..."

Chanup told Tangshen the situation of the battle this morning in a brief and concise manner.

"The Aizu army is here..." Yushin widened his eyes, "No wonder the fighting today is so fierce..."

"Although it has been expected that the Aizu army will be extraordinary." Chanup smiled bitterly, "but I didn't expect it to be so strong."

"This afternoon, we will strengthen the strength of the archers."

"I hope our archer can suppress the Aizu army a little bit..."

After speaking, Chanup raised his pipe and took a few puffs.

"...It's rare that we both have time and no outsiders are here, so-let's talk about your business now." Chanup spit out two big smoke rings, "Tang...no, Shendu, after you What are your plans?"

"Before I asked you to break through and leave here with Mr. Mashima, you refused because of danger."

"For the past few days, I stayed at my house every day, either eating or in a daze. It neither helped us nor made any actions that seemed to be trying to escape."

"What are you going to do in the future?"

In response to Chanupu's torch-like gaze, Tang Shen silently lowered his gaze, and then remained silent.

Looking at Tang Shen who was silent, Chanup shrugged: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I can probably guess what you want to do."

"You probably want to wait for the city to be broken, and sneak away in the chaos, right?"

Chanup spoke in an affirmative tone, which was clearly a question sentence.

As soon as Chanup's words fell, Tang Shen's body shook slightly.

"...I was worried that I would offend you, so I have been refusing to tell you my plan." Tang Shen's expression was a bit bitter in helplessness, "How did you guess my plan? of?"

"How you say and I are also a life-and-death relationship." Chanup said slowly, "according to your habitual way of thinking, guess your intentions-it's not difficult for me."

"What's more, apart from taking advantage of the chaos to escape after the city is broken, I can't think of any other tricks you can get out of here."

Chanup raised his pipe and took another breath.

"You don't actually have to worry about offending me or anything."

"You want to live, it's understandable. I don't have the position to accuse you of anything."

"However, Shendu. As your old friend, I think I still have an obligation to remind you-this method of yours is not very safe."

"You are old after all. I don't believe that you will be as vigorous as you were when you were young."

"If it is you who can sneak into other people’s villages without knowing it, take down other people’s first level, and leave the village without knowing it when you were young, I still believe you have the one who took advantage of the city’s collapse. Chaos, the ability to escape here safely."

"As for who you are now..."

"...I know." Tang Shen nodded, "I know this kind of thing is quite difficult for me now when I am old."

"But apart from this method, I have no other way to get out of here. I can only give it a go."

After listening to Tang Shen's words, Chanup put down his cigarette and cast a complicated look at Tang Shen in front of him.

"...Shendu. No matter what...are you unwilling to help me? If you help us, we will be as powerful as a thousand people..."

Tang Shen raised his eyes and looked at Chanupu.

He didn't speak, but nodded slightly with a dark face.

"...Haha." Chanup suddenly let out a few chuckles, "I only found out now—this situation and situation are the same as when we first met when we were young."

"I beg you so hard, I hope you can avenge my father. No matter what I say, you don't want it."

"Until I was willing to'teach you the hunting techniques passed down from generation to generation in my family', did you finally want to be my'killer'."

"But then and now, it's completely different from now and now." Tang Shen suddenly answered, "At this time, no matter what kind of remuneration you say, I won't help you anymore."

After all, the gloom on Tang Shen's face became stronger.

"...Chanup. I'll make it clear today."

He said slowly.

"Although it is extremely dangerous to leave here in the chaos after the city is broken."

"But no matter how dangerous it is, there is no danger of'helping you defend the city'."

"'Leaving here taking advantage of the chaos after the city is broken' is a life of nine deaths. And'helping you defend the city' means ten deaths without life."

"I can't think of any vitality in helping you."

"And now... I don't want to die..."

The more Tang Shen said, the lower his head dropped.

"Chanup, what I say next may make you laugh."

"But you can laugh if you want."

"There is no complicated reason why I am unwilling to help you, just because-I am afraid of death."

"I'm now... very afraid of death. I'm quite afraid of death."

"When I was still'Shendu Bujingzhai', in order to get ahead, I had to wave a knife to gain fame and face death every day. It is not surprising when I will die."

"But-since you learned the hunting skills that your family has passed down from generation to generation, and relying on selling pets for a living, I finally live a peaceful life that's been gone for a long time..."

"Although there is no such thing as wealth, but for me, who is tired of the life in which I can lose my head every day, this peaceful life is like a treasure."

"I am used to and fell in love with this peaceful life. I want to live, and I want to continue to live this life."

"Chanup, you can understand me as a'bear with blunt teeth and claws that have been used to living an easy life.'"

"I'm no longer a'Shendu Bujingzhai' that can face powerful enemies and death. I have long since lost the ambition of'Even if I die, I must make a name for my fame'."

"Now only the "Old Tang God" who has become accustomed to living a peaceful life and has become greedy and fearful of death. I just want to live now...anything that might kill me, I don't want to do it."

"The thought of confronting those fierce Japanese soldiers and thinking that I would die in some way, I was terrified... I was so scared that my hands were shaking."

Tang Shen raised his hands, and showed his trembling hands to Chanup in front of him.

"So... Chanup, please understand my old man whose ambition and spirit have been smoothed out..."

Chanup had been quietly listening to Tang Shen's narrative, and because of listening attentively, he didn't even take a puff of the cigarette, and didn't even notice that the cigarette had gone out.

It wasn't until Tang Shen's voice fell completely and his own consciousness returned to the real space that Chanup realized later that his smoke had gone out.

"...Shendu. I don't understand one thing." Chinup showed a meaningful smile while adding new tobacco to the smoking gun in his hand.

"You said you don't want to do anything that might kill you... Then, after you learned that the shogunate was going to use forces against me, Heyzhe, why did you come to me so hard to inform me?"

"And I've been staying here, every day, I've tried my best to persuade me to leave here and flee for my life, which caused me to miss the best time to leave here."

After hearing this question from Chanup, Tang Shen's expression was dazed, his lips tightened, and a look of confusion and confusion appeared on his face.

Chinup ignored Tang Shen, whose expression and expression had changed drastically now. After refilling the smoker with tobacco and lighting the fire, Chinup slowly said while smoking a cigarette:

"Shendu. I understand everything you just said."

"How should I put it... I can understand your fear of death."

Speaking of this, Chanup put down the cigarette gun in his hand and changed his tone of emotion.

"Because I am used to living a peaceful life, I have been flattened out of fighting spirit and become afraid of death... Shendu, why am I not?"

"Shendu, let me tell you one thing... I haven't told anyone else before—before I approached the city with the soldiers, I actually seriously considered the matter of surrender."

Tang Shen raised his head abruptly and cast a shocked look at Chanup.

Against Tang Shen's shocked gaze, Chanup continued:

"It's just like you are used to living a peaceful life-after this Heyzhe was built, I have lived a peaceful and prosperous life for 10 years."

"Don't worry about food and clothing, you need status and status, and fame and prestige. With both children, the daughter is still a very competitive daughter. The peaceful and prosperous life of these 10 years has not only made my stomach swell."

Chanup touched his slightly larger belly.

"At the same time, it smoothed my mind."

"After learning about the fight with the army, I was actually quite scared... and seriously considered surrendering to save my life."

"But fortunately-at the most critical moment, I changed back to who I was when I was young."

Chanup raised his hand and patted the ground in front of him.

"This Heyezhe is not just a new home that we have worked so hard to build."

"At the same time... also my dream."

"Dreams...?" Tang Shen looked like he had remembered something, his eyes rounded.

"This is also something that can be told for a long time in detail."

Chanup smiled, then, while showing his memories, continued to say:

"Tang Shen, for our great southward migration 10 years ago, have you heard more or less how difficult it was?"

"During that southward move, I also experienced despair several times."

"During that time and time of despair, a ‘ridiculous’ idea appeared in my mind several times: If only there was a ‘refuge’."

"If there is a'refuge' that can save us, we won't have to die so many people..."

"Although I was looking forward to the emergence of the ‘refuge’, until the end, the ‘refuge’ did not appear.”

"However, after I found the fortress left by the Lucias and built a new home here, a new'ridiculous' idea appeared in my mind-since there is no such kind of'refuge', then I'll just build a'refuge' by myself."

"And this'ridiculous' idea gradually turned into... my dream."

Chanup turned his head, Chongtang Shen smiled.

"I dream of building a ‘refuge’ that can help my compatriots at a critical juncture."

"In the past 10 years, I have been working hard for this."

"We are working hard to build a'refuge,' and trying our best to help our compatriots."

"After 10 years of hard work, my dream has finally come true. The village of Kapaxi, which was in exile due to the defeat, and the village of Chinah, which was targeted by Lucias... These villages are very important because of my help. Got a new life."

"However... just when my dream was slightly fulfilled, the Hejun came..."

"So—whether it's for everyone's home or for my little dream, I don't want to give in in front of others."

"Even if it will pay the price of'death'."

"People are weird."

Chanup shrugged.

"Whether a man or a woman, they are always desperate for something other people can't understand...Huh? Shendu, what's the matter with you? Are you in a daze?"

It was only then that Chanup found that Tangshen's appearance was weird.

Tang Shen looked at Chanup in a daze, as if in a daze.

His lips moved, and he whispered in a tone that even Tang Shen himself might not be able to hear.

"Fighting for something other people can't understand..."

Tang Shen didn't notice that his eyes were full of memories.

I didn't notice it either-my hands were not shaking much now.

…

…

At this moment, outside the city, the Third Army (Aizu Army), the Honjin—

Pu Sheng raised his head, while predicting the time based on the current weather, he slowly said:

"It's almost time."

"All armies can now attack at any time." A close friend beside Pu Sheng added timely.

Pu Sheng nodded: "Then don't waste time. Send the whole army-ready to attack the city again!"

"At the same time, inform the entire army-this afternoon, I will charge personally!"

…

…

Woo—! Woo—! Woo—! Woo—!

The sound of conch, like a sharp arrow, pierced into the ears of Chanup and Tangshen.

"Are you here..." Chanup said with a sullen face, looking to the south where the sound of conch sound came from, "It's a lot earlier than we expected to attack..."

After that, Chanup turned his gaze back to Tang Shen in front of him.

"The Hejun attacked again. I have to go back to the wall."

"Today at noon, it was a long-lost talk between us."

"After we have time and opportunity, let's talk slowly. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Chanup's tone is so relaxed that it is hard to imagine that he will go to the battlefield full of flesh and blood next.

After that, Chanup stopped talking to Tangshen, and stopped staying any more, and quickly walked away from Tangshen's body.

Tang Shen did not stand up to see him, nor did he watch Chanupu leave.

He just continued to sit cross-legged and stared at the air in front of him blankly.

It looked like he was in a daze.

But it kind of seems to be thinking.
