I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 559: Taito vs. Wato (Part 2) [Six thousand eight hundred characters]

Red Moon Fortress, inner city wall—

Chanup returned to the inner city wall as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the inner and outer walls, which had just been quiet for a short time, became noisy again.

The archers rushed up the inner city wall.

The soldiers in charge of close combat also stepped onto the outer city wall in a rushing manner and took their positions.

In the past few days, they have been picking up the equipment of the soldiers who were left behind, and then leaving these equipment for the soldiers on the outer wall to wear.

After nearly 3 days of "changing shotguns", a considerable part of the soldiers on the outer wall have worn the armor of the Heren soldiers and used the long spears of the Heren soldiers.

In order to avoid being accidentally injured by one's own people, all the breastplate parts of the armor that were "turned into one's own use" were painted red.

As soon as he returned to the inner city wall, Chanup saw Lin Ziping who seemed to have just arrived.

"Mr. Chanup, you are here." Lin Ziping said to Chanup, who came first. "The Aizu army will launch another attack earlier than we thought."

"and…"

Speaking of this, Lin Ziping showed a worried expression and looked at the Aizu army who had almost completed their formation outside the city.

"I hope it's just my illusion... I always feel that the Aizu army at this time, the atmosphere... weird..."

Chanup followed along and turned his attention to the Aizu army that was still assembled and lined up outside the city.

"...No matter what happens to the Hejun outside the city, what we have to do will remain the same—" Chanup said in a deep voice, "All the Heren who climbed up will be driven off."

"...Hmm." Lin Ziping nodded softly, "You are right..."

Red Moon Fortress, outside the city—

"Master Kabu. Master Hirata is ready." "Master Mori is also in place."...

Pu Sheng, who put his arms around his chest, quietly listened to the reports coming in.

Kamio naturally knew what generals under his Aizu army had and what tasks each general had.

After listening to the last report and confirming that the generals and troops were all in place, Pu Sheng nodded, "...very good."

He put down his arms around his chest, then put his right hand on his love knife—Lei walked up on his left waist, and slowly pulled it out.

The biggest difference in appearance between Taito and Taito is that the length of Taito is generally longer than that of Taito, and the curvature of the arc is generally larger than that of Taito.

Pu Sheng's love knife named "Lei Go" has a blade length of nearly 77 cm.

After he slowly pulled out Lei and raised it over his head, Lei walked under the sunlight, reflecting a somewhat coquettish blue light.

This astonishing length, this dazzling cold light, directly attracted the attention of everyone around him.

"I am a general-Pu Sheng will do it!"

Pu Sheng shouted with the loudest volume he could reach.

It's a pity that Gami is not the kind of person with a loud voice. His voice can't reach all the Aizu generals' ears. Only the hundreds of people closest to Gami can hear Gami's voice clearly.

"Your respective sirs, you should have told you just now? I will personally take the lead in the fight this afternoon!"

As soon as Pu Sheng's voice fell, those who heard Pu Sheng's voice cast fiery eyes in the direction Pu Sheng was.

At this time, the Aizu generals were quite excited.

Because just now, they received the news that their general, Pu Sheng, is going to jail and will personally participate in this afternoon's battle, and still take the lead in the charge.

Regardless of the development of the times, it is a very inspiring and morale thing for such a high-ranking general to charge forward in person.

What's more, the person who personally took the lead in the charge was Pu Sheng, whose usual cost of food and clothing was the same as that of ordinary soldiers.

"Samurai of Aizu! Follow me soon!"

"Samurai of Aizu! Show off Aizu's bravery with me!"

"Samurai of Aizu! Let's conquer this fortress with me!"

Of these three words of Pu Sheng, the last one was almost roaring out.

After these three imposing words of his roar, the generals and soldiers around him with him as the center burst out cheering and shouting like a tsunami.

Afterwards, this shout quickly "infected", and all the Aizu generals, whether they heard Gami or not, all cheered.

This is also the norm on the battlefield—because the transmission of information is extremely inconvenient, most generals and soldiers can only "learn something." When others are yelling, you will often follow, even if you don’t even know what other people are yelling.

After the surrounding cheers had subsided a little bit, Pu Sheng smashed the Lei Zao, who had been holding it high with the tip of the knife pointed at the sky.

"Follow me!"

Red Moon Fortress, inner city wall—

"What's that..." Lin Ziping muttered deeply, and stared at the forefront of the Aizu army that had already rushed towards them-only saw the forefront of the Aizu army, there was a very abrupt "small group".

On the left and right of this "small group", there are several sturdy soldiers, holding in their hands iron shields that are extremely rare in the Japanese army and cannot be used by ordinary generals.

These soldiers armed with iron shields formed an "iron ball" to intercept all the flying arrows.

A soldier behind this "small clique" carried an iron shield in one hand and a military flag embroidered with "Aizu Sankui" in the other.

Lin Ziping instantly concluded—someone must be taking the lead in the charge. This big man is now in this "iron ball" and is under strict protection.

Lin Ziping noticed that there must be some big people in that "iron ball", and Chanup, who was standing next to him, also noticed this.

Lin Ziping wanted to order the musketeers not far away to "set fire to that ‘iron ball’", but Chanup’s reaction was faster than him.

"Shoot those who are carrying iron shields at the front!" Chanup ordered the musketeers like this.

Although Chanup's reaction was already fast, it was a pity-the "iron ball" was traveling too fast.

The morale of the Aizu army was soaring because of Kamio's personal participation in the battle, so even the running speed was faster. Even if the "iron ball" was fast, the generals in the rear could barely catch up.

And Chanup and their flintlocks are muskets. The musket is not the kind of gun that can be pointed at. Shooting a long-distance target with a flintlock that is still a smooth-bore style, whether it can hit or not depends on luck...

Therefore-even if Chanup had quickly ordered the "iron ball" to gather fire, but until the "iron ball" had reached the bottom of the outer city wall, only 2 rounds of bullets successfully hit the target.

And these two bullets were only capable of penetrating the iron shield, and wounded the anti-shield guard, but did not injure the "big man" who was heavily protected.

The "big man" that was heavily protected was naturally Pu Sheng who took the lead in the charge.

Under the protection of the guards, after reaching the base of the outer city wall safely, the soldiers who followed quickly set up the long ladder.

After the long ladder was built, he grabbed the long ladder in one hand, and walked with his thunder in the other, like an agile ape, sliding along the long ladder, the first one to "slide" onto the city wall.

"Quick! Someone is coming up!"

"Poke him down!"

"Poke it down!"

The soldiers on the outer wall reacted quickly.

After nearly three days of fierce fighting, they have gradually become accustomed to how to fight and how to efficiently stoke down the enemy soldiers who have climbed up the city wall.

Before Pu Sheng showed his head, four soldiers formed a fan shape with their spears aimed at the top of the long ladder. When Pu Sheng first appeared, he would stab him indiscriminately.

Their plan is very good.

It's a pity-they miscalculated the strength of the incoming enemy...

Pu Sheng emerged from behind the city wall as they wished, and the four soldiers immediately stabbed with their guns.

But as soon as they pierced the spear in their hands forward, they saw a horizontal blade flash in front of them.

Pu Sheng waved his thunder away.

The light of the blade passing horizontally opened the spearheads of the spears in the hands of the four of them in one breath, and their offensive was thus disintegrated.

Pu Sheng kicked his feet and took this opportunity to swiftly jumped up the city wall.

The four warriors saw several sword lights again—and this time, the sword lights were no longer the spears that swept them, but they swept them....

These four warriors were all wearing light armors that hadn't been long since they changed their outfits, so Pu Sheng didn't choose to attack their bodies, and they all specifically cut to the places on their bodies that were not protected by the armor.

I saw Pu Sheng swung 4 knives in a row, obviously he did 4 knives one after another, but because the speed of the knives was too fast, it looked like the four fighters were hitting and falling down at the same time.

The first to climb the wall was their general Kamio—this was an extraordinary boost to the morale of the Aizu generals.

The Aizu generals cheered and rushed up the outer wall like a colony of ants along the long ladder.

"Follow me!" After shouting out these words with all his strength, Pu Sheng shook the thunder in his hand, and after draining the blood of the four soldiers who had just contaminated the blade, he rushed to the nearest Red Moon Fortress soldier. .

Pu Sheng at this moment has shown his fangs.

Although Taidaoshu is a swordsmanship that can only show its power right away, it is more than enough to deal with the soldiers of the Red Moon Fortress who have no other strengths in battle except for archery.

Pu Sheng, who is not tall, strength is not his strong point.

His strength is his agility.

Obviously wearing a heavy armor, it is still like the same soft water, "flowing" at a very fast speed in every gap on the battlefield.

He "flowed" in front of a certain soldier. Because Pusheng was too fast, the soldier felt severe pain in his right shoulder before he could react. Pusheng swung his knife and struck him diagonally. Then directly chop the person in half.

At this time, a soldier standing nearby stabbed Pu Sheng with a spear. But he was swiftly avoided by Pu Sheng, then raised the tip of the knife and pierced the person's throat.

When closing the knife, he swiped and chopped the body of the person next to him, and cut the person's body in half evenly...

After killing 3 people in one breath, Pu Sheng "flowed" again, flowing to other places...

The soldiers often saw the blade flash before they could react.

Or it was just a blink of an eye, and suddenly I saw another person in front of my eyes...

Kamio's fierce assault was like a shot of invigorating the Aizu generals.

Everyone cheered, or shouted Pu Sheng's name.

With their morale and fighting spirit soaring, they exploded with great strength, and their offensive intensity was far better than this morning.

The prodigious Pu Sheng, like a sharp wedge, pierced the thick wall of the outer city wall, and pierced a crack centered on it. As the wedge gradually deepened, the degree of the crack continued to deepen...

The whole army

"Pu Shengjun's sword technique is indeed well-deserved..." Inamori said with emotion, who was watching the battle with a telescope.

Gami intends to personally take the lead in the charge this afternoon—for such an important matter, Gami naturally reported it to Inamori the first time.

At first, Inamori naturally refused. After all, what Kamo said is also the general general of the Aizu army. Although the general general can greatly boost morale in person, but if the general is injured in the battle, it will be bad.

But Pu Sheng was stubborn and persuaded Inamori. So under Pu Sheng's persuasion, Inamori finally reluctantly agreed to Pu Sheng's plan to "lead the charge".

At the beginning of the battle, Inamori frowned slightly because of some worries.

And now, after seeing this great battle situation, Inamori's frowning brows slowly loosened.

"Master Inamori."

A general who had no binoculars and couldn't see the battle on the front line asked Inamori anxiously.

"How is the battle now?"

"Kamio-sama personally took the lead in the charge, and the Aizu army has completely gained the upper hand." Inamori said with a triumphant smile. "It's a pity that the barbarians in the city are not weak and deceptive persimmons. Kamio's offensive It was still reluctantly stopped, but the barbarians also paid a lot of casualties for this."

Inamori's words directly caused all the generals present to cast their shocked and stunned eyes on the outer city wall that was constantly screaming for killing in the distance.

Different generals showed different expressions.

Some generals showed admiration and joy.

But there are also some generals whose expressions are quite tangled—for example, Akizuki and Kuroda are both generals of the First Army and generals of the Sendai clan.

The generals of the First Army are basically embarrassed now.

Originally, they had no results for two consecutive days, but today they look at the Aizu army's siege with a joke mentality.

However... face slaps came one by one...

This morning, the Aizu army had already shown great power.

And now, General Kasuo of the Aizu Army directly took the lead in the charge, giving the barbarians in the castle a head-on blow...

How did this make the generals of the First Army not embarrassed? How not to entangle...

Many generals of the First Army even began to bow their heads because of embarrassment and entanglement, watching their noses and hearts.

"...Hey." Akizuki, who was standing next to Kuroda, whispered to Akizuki beside him, "Aizu...Couldn't you really be able to take down the outer wall before this evening..."

"...I find it difficult." Kuroda replied softly, "the barbarians in the fortress are not so easy to deal with."

"But... even if they failed to take down the outer wall of the Red Moon Fortress by tonight, the battles of Kuma and the others would have greatly shocked the barbarians..."

Red Moon Fortress, inner city wall—

The horror of Pusheng, Chanup and the others are naturally in sight.

Pu Sheng galloped.

Their soldiers are dead.

No one can stop Pu Sheng.

Pu Sheng and the others also resorted to various means early to try to contend with Pu Sheng.

Send elite fighters to chase and intercept Gum Sang, and send elite archers to shoot him accurately...

But these methods have little effect...

Because the battlefield was too chaotic, it was difficult for the archers to shoot at Guma. Pu Sheng is also very smart. He never exposes himself to a place where the archers on the inner city wall can shoot. He always hides himself in crowded places and keeps moving at a high speed, making it more difficult for the archers to aim.

And the elite fighters they dispatched, facing Pu Sheng, were absolutely helpless...

As if entering an uninhabited state, Pu Sheng waved the sword in his hand, harvesting one life after another.

"...Chanup, it's troublesome." Retannoe said in a deep voice, standing next to Chanup.

"...I can only focus on that person as much as possible." Lin Ziping on the side answered, "I don't believe that person can dodge all the arrows."

Chanup has been looking at Pu Sheng with solemn eyes since just now.

Without needing anyone to explain, Chanup knew what the consequences would be if he left him alone.

After staring at Pu Sheng on the outer city wall for a long time, Chanup said nothing.

He just turned around silently and strode towards the direction away from the inner city wall.

"Chanup! Where are you going?" Retannoe asked anxiously when he saw this.

"That person is obviously a general-level figure of the Japanese army." Chanup said in a calm tone. "The reason why the children on the outer city wall are playing so hard is partly because the general is the general personally. Going into battle boosted morale."

"Then let's use the peace-to-people method to deal with the peace-to-people!"

"I want to go up the outer city wall!"

The Red Moon Tournament, Chanup’s home—

Since Chanup left, Tang Shen still sat on the spot, closing his eyes tightly, revealing an expression that was both in a daze and thinking.

To outsiders, Tang Shen seems to be just sitting idly.

But in fact, only Tang Shen himself knows—in his mind, there are fragments of past memories playing back and forth...

"Do you want to use this broken pair of scissors to deal with the Yakuza? That's just going to die for nothing."

"Those beasts...killed my parents...just because my parents didn't turn in the so-called ‘guarantee’, I’m not reconciled..."

"..."

"The house in front is the base camp of the'Osaki Family', right?"

"That's right! Who are you! Do not wander around us in the crowds waiting...oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Hey! Who are you guys? Haven't seen you! Are you a ronin? Why do you trouble the "Osaki family"?"

"In Xialang people, Shendu Rouzao. Because you are not pleasing to your eyes, I decided to destroy you Yakuza."

"Shinto Yozo...I've heard of your name! You are the "Shindu Bujingzhai"! Me and my uncle are the important ministers of Yonezawa Domain! You killed me but...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The memory segment has been played in Tang Shen's eyes.

Tang Shen slowly opened his eyes.

If Chanup was present, he would be surprised to see the look in Tang Shen's eyes now.

The emotions in the current Tang Shen's eyes are quite calm-like a monk who has practiced the Tao for many years.

He stood up quietly.

At the same time, he grabbed the crutches placed beside him.

Red Moon Fortress, inner city wall—

"Chanup! Are you crazy? Do you know if you have something in case, there will be any consequences?" Retanoe stopped Chanup firmly and prevented him from leaving.

"I know." Chanup said sternly, "but I also know-if we don't stop that guy as soon as possible, what will happen to us."

"Retannoe, you tell me, besides me going into battle and boosting morale, is there any other way to immediately stop the guy who is raging everywhere?"

Retanoer was asked.

His eyes flickered several times, then gritted his teeth:

"All in all-I don't allow you to go to the outer city wall, but I don't allow you to go!"

"Now you have not reached the limit where you need to go to battle!"

After all, Retanoer took the bow on his back

"I'll go for you! If I go into battle, I can boost everyone's morale more or less!"

"You all calm down," Lin Ziping said anxiously, "Now that guy's offensive has been declining, and that person should be tired too. You can try to make the archer..."

"Hey! Look!"

"Who is that person? So fast!"

"An unknown person has boarded the outer wall!"

At this moment, the cries of shock suddenly sounded, interrupting Chanup's dispute with them.

Chanup and the others turned their attention to the outer wall.

"This is...?!" The next moment he turned his gaze to the outer city wall, Chanup's eyes widened, his eyes full of shock and...joy.

laugh!

The sound of flesh and blood being split sounded again.

After splitting the head of a soldier in front of him with the sword in his hand once again, in order to avoid being shot by the archer, Kao hurriedly carried the sword and ran to a crowded place not far away.

"Drink ah ah ah ah-!"

At this time, Pu Sheng suddenly heard a shout from his side.

Follow the prestige—a young warrior rushed towards him holding a spear.

"I was in a hurry to die..." Pu Sheng sneered a few times before advancing without retreating, and greeted the young soldier.

call-!

The sound of the spear piercing the air sounded.

His stabbing was so slow in Pu Sheng's eyes that it was no different from the attack launched by a child.

After he noticed that his current environment was not suitable for dodge and dodge, he turned the sword in his hand, slashed the spear with the back of the sword, opened the spear with brute force, and staggered the direction of the spear's stabbing.

The spear was opened, and the empty door of the young warrior opened wide.

A faint grin appeared on Pu Sheng's face.

A look of fear appeared on the face of this young soldier.

Gama raised the sword in his palm high...

at this time-

Just when Pu Sheng was preparing to make his military merits more brilliant today—

Click.

Suddenly footsteps sounded behind Pu Sheng.

And it wasn't until the sound of this footstep that Pu Sheng noticed that there were more people behind him.

Pu Sheng was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps, his pupils shrank suddenly. After that, he even stopped the attack that was meant to take the life of the young soldier in front of him. Using his left foot as the axis, he turned around quickly and turned to face his back.

After turning his gaze to his back, Pu Sheng realized that the one who appeared behind him turned out to be an old man.

An old man with gray hair and beard.

And this old man is still a gentleman in a kimono.

Gami's sight collided with that of the old man in mid-air.

Pu Sheng's nerves were already tense, and suddenly a guy who was obviously not his comrade-in-arms appeared, and he naturally listed him as an enemy.

He subconsciously waved the thunder in his palm away. Lei walked across a beautiful arc, and the trajectory of the sword drew an arc and approached the old man.

But this old man made a move that Pu Sheng did not expect—he raised the crutch in his hand and faced Pu Sheng's knife with the bottom of the crutch.

Is this old guy crazy?

Pu Sheng relentlessly mocked this old man in his heart.

But his ridicule had just been uttered in his heart, and the scene that appeared before his eyes almost made Pu Sheng's eyes pop out of his sockets.

He saw the base of the old man's crutch and the blade of his thunder colliding in mid-air.

Because the bottom of the stick couldn't withstand the powerful slash, the whole crutch quickly cracked with the place where it was cut as the center of the circle.

Then-the things hidden inside showed his body shape little by little as the crutches shattered.

A knife. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Because the crutch started to crack from the bottom of the crutch, the whole crutch cracked a little bit from bottom to top, so this knife also slowly revealed its figure from bottom to top, revealing his snow-white scabbard little by little. , Knife handle.

After the knife was completely revealed with the crutches shattered, and exposed to the light of the sky, the old and the man inserted the white knife into his left waist with an action that seemed so fast that an old man could make it. Between the hakama belt. Then hold the handle of the knife firmly with your right hand.

laugh!

A white glow came out from the scabbard and swept Pu Sheng's face from bottom to top.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah-!"

Since boarding the city wall, Kumao, who has been unmatched, screamed for the first time.
