I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 562 Ogata Yishi and Oda Nobunaga 【6100 characters】

Scruzzy's tent—

Ogata gently shook the wine glass in his hand, which was half full of wine.

This is the wine that Scruucci had just given him.

According to Skulucci, this is the strong wine that the Cossacks often use to drive away the cold. Drinking a cup can not only dispel the cold in the body, but also relieve the fatigue of the body a little.

Since leaving Red Moon Fortress, except for sleeping and necessary rest, Ogata was almost on his way.

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

Ogata is really tired now because he has been living a life of eating and sleeping in the open air these days and hasn't had a good rest.

He raised his glass and took a few sips.

The hot drink reminded Ogata of Genichi's masterpiece - "Oolong Tea".

However, after this hot drink rolled down the esophagus into the stomach, it really did what Scruucci said just now—it could not only dispel the chill, but also relieve fatigue.

After a few sips of wine fell to the ground, Ogata became a little more energetic.

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

Skulucci's tent reminded Ogata of the garbage dump in his previous life - so messy that there were only a handful of places to step down.

Now that the master Skulucci is not here, Ogata is too embarrassed to walk around and look around, so he can only continue to sit obediently.

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]

[Sakakibara Ichikatsu level: 13th dan]

[Nugo Two Swords Level: Level 12]

【Shiranui Ninjutsu Level: 8th Stage】

[Remaining skill points: 4 points]

Recently, fierce battles have been fought one after another, first attacking the camp of the First Army, and then breaking through the blockade of the Shogunate Army.

The overwhelming battles made Ogata's experience points of each experience bar increase rapidly.

The level of Wuwo Two Swords was successfully promoted to level 12, allowing Ogata to add 2 skill points.

Counting the 2 skill points saved before, Ogata now has a total of 4 skill points.

"Upgrading is getting more and more difficult..."

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

As soon as the interface was closed, the footsteps that he had been waiting for silently from just now finally sounded outside the tent:

"Sorry sorry for keeping you waiting."

Scruucci carelessly lifted the curtains of the tent and entered the tent.

"I just went to say goodbye to my chief, but I didn't expect it to take a lot longer than expected..."

"Farewell?" Ogata asked suspiciously.

"Before you came, I was chatting with my officer." Scruucci replied, "So before I talk to you in detail, I have to tell my officer first to ask him to put away all the drinks and appetizers. Put it away first, and then eat together slowly."

"...Sorry." Ogata said in an apologetic tone, "My sudden visit has caused you trouble."

Scruucci waved his hand boldly: "It's okay. I'm even happier that you came to see me. In this way, I will have someone more to chat with."

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

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

After that, Scruucci sat down on a hammock in front of Ogata.

"What I'm going to say next...may scare you." Ogata said slowly, "So please be mentally prepared."

"I'm a Cossack who is used to strong winds and waves." Skulucci showed a free and easy smile, "No matter what happens, it won't scare me."

...

10 minutes later—

"...Excuse me, Mashima-kun, can you give me some time to slow down?"

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

Ogata remained silent, silently waiting for Scruucci to recover.

After several minutes passed, Skulucci finally let go of his hands kneading his temples.

"I understand what you mean..."

"To put it simply... do you want to invite me to help you repel the Japanese army that is now surrounding the Red Moon Fortress?"

Ogata nodded.

"The reward is half of the property 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, Scruucci buried his hand in his right palm again, kneading his temple with his thumb and middle finger.

"Has Japan actually sent troops to attack the Red Moon Fortress... Is that really the case..."

"Really?" Ogata asked in a puzzled tone.

Scruucci lifted his face from his palms:

"Mashima-kun, after we parted from you and I led my subordinates here to join my chief, I heard from my chief that Japan dispatched a large-scale army to go deep into Ezo."

"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."

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

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

"Not only is it located in a dangerous location, but it is also extremely rich in resources. If you need water, you need water, if you need wood, you need wood, if you need flat land, you need flat land, and if you need prey, you need prey."

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

"If Ezo Land is to be developed on a large scale, this Red Moon Fortress with an extremely important geographical location cannot be ignored no matter what."

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

"In the entire Ezo land, the only ones worthy of Japan's dispatch of such a large army are the Ainu people sitting in that fortress."

"So after I learned from my officer that Japan had dispatched a large-scale army to the north, I guessed that the target of the Japanese army was most likely the Red Moon Fortress."

"I didn't expect... I guessed it right..."

Scruucci shook his head with a wry smile.

"Really...it reminds me of some bad memories..."

A look of remembrance appeared on Scruucci's face.

"Mashima-kun. This kind of army whose purpose is to plunder and occupy is really annoying."

He said calmly.

"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 wine.

"Tsk... Now that I think about it carefully, it would be great if I knew about the Japanese army going north earlier."

"This way, you can prevent Mashima-kun from going to that place in advance. Then there will be no such troubles in the future."

"The past has passed." Ogata also took a sip of the wine in his hand, "It's useless to worry about the past. Instead of worrying about the past, it's better to spend your mind thinking about the future .”

"Your consideration for the future is to ask me to help you and repel the Japanese army that is now besieging the fort?" Scruzzi smiled, and continued in a half-joking tone, "Use A small number of elite soldiers are coming to attack the enemy... Mashima-kun, do you want to learn from your Japanese hero named Oda Nobunaga?"

After all, Skulucci straightened his waist and sang in a slightly weird voice:

"Fifty years of life are like dreams and illusions. How can there be immortals?"

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 more or less understood the history of your country." Scruucci shrugged, "As for "Dun Sheng", I can only sing this sentence."

"Atsumori": a famous piece of "Xing Ruomai" in the traditional Japanese drama "No". This dance is well known in Japan.

"Dun Sheng" has left a legendary stroke in history because of someone-in the Warring States Period more than 200 years ago, there was a young prince. A neighbor whose strength was several times that of his launched an army of tens of thousands and launched a full-scale attack on his territory.

There are tens of thousands of enemies coming.

And under that person's command, there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses.

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

Before attacking, the man danced a section of "Dun Sheng".

After singing and dancing, the man stepped on his horse and led the elite troops to attack the enemy.

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

The general of the enemy army and a group of senior generals under his command were all beheaded.

This war, which everyone thought was inevitable, was finally won by that man with this miraculous surprise attack.

And that person - is Oda Nobunaga.

As for the person who was killed by Oda Nobunaga who beat more and less, it was Yoshimoto Imagawa, who was known as "the number one bow in the East China Sea". Originally full of confidence, he could wipe out the Oda family without any effort, so he died under the surprise attack of the "rats" he despised.

After this battle, the powerful Imagawa family weakened, and Oda Nobunaga started his hegemony with this battle.

"Mashima-kun. I haven't calmed down for a long time until now..."

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

"My team, including me, has a total of 86 people. Are you planning to repel an army of 10,000 with only these 86 people and yourself..."

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

"If you can catch the opponent by surprise, there is no chance of winning." Ogata said quietly, "The 10,000 Japanese troops are not elites with extremely high morale."

"If a small number of elite cavalry were used to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, it would not be impossible for dozens of people to defeat the 10,000 Japanese troops."

"...You're right." Skulucci shrugged with a wry smile, "It's true that there is no chance of winning. If you succeed, you can get half of the property of the Red Moon Fortress, as well as you and Ayi from that fortress." The kindness of the people. It's a lot of money."

"But ah—"

Scruucci's words suddenly changed.

And his sudden change of subject made Ogata's heart skip a beat.

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

Scruucci smiled meaningfully at Ogata.

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

"So—Mashima-kun, I'm sorry."

...

4 days later -

...

Red Moon Fortress——

"Quick! Surround him! Stab him to death!"

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

Tang Shen snorted coldly, and advanced instead of retreating. While avoiding their stabbing attacks, he dodged in front of one of the soldiers, then chopped his head to pieces with a knife, and then drew an exaggerated horizontal slash, Knock down all the remaining soldiers around.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

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

However—the already heated battlefield has no room for Tang Shen to rest quietly.

After a while, Tang Shen saw enemy soldiers appearing in front of his left and right - and there were quite a few of them.

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! A few people here! Block the enemy soldiers on my right! I'll deal with the ones on the left!" Tang Shen shouted at the top of his voice.

However... there are very few responders...

Only 5 soldiers responded to Tangshen, holding weapons to meet the enemy soldiers on the right side of Tangshen...

Looking at the five fighters, Tang Shen's eyes flashed a rich and complex color.

Today——is the ninth day of the "Battle of Red Moon Fortress".

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

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

The outer city walls are now dyed strange colors with blood.

The shogunate army has killed and injured countless people.

As for the Red Moon Fortress—there were also countless casualties during these 9 days.

God Tang has been on the front line these days, so he feels more clearly than anyone else how the troops on their side are being reduced at an appalling rate these days...

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

Clenching his teeth, and squeezed out these words between his teeth, Tang Shen clenched the Japanese sword in his hand, and once again plunged into the bloody battle where you die or I die...

...

"Quick! Shoot at that place!" Chanup ordered to several archers beside him, "Don'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 transfer people there?" Lin Ziping, who was standing beside Chanup, asked Chanup.

"It is true that we have come to help! But... the people who came to help are not very good at fighting, please send more help!"

"Tsk..." Lin Ziping's face darkened instantly, "Has the worst situation finally appeared..."

Lin Ziping's face was gloomy - and in terms of the degree of unsightlyness, Chanup's face was no better than Lin Ziping's.

...

Outside the city, the shogunate army, the entire army's main formation——

Inamori folded his arms, looking expressionlessly at the citadel where even though it was far away, he could still hear some shouts of killing.

Today's weather is not very good, since this morning, the sky is full of thick dark clouds.

This bad weather also made the sky darker than before.

Inamori raised his eyes and looked at the sky that was beginning to darken

"It's the ninth day..."

Inamori said in a low voice.

"Did you fail to take down the outer city wall of the Red Moon Fortress today..."

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

"Send an order to the front-retreat."

...

Otongpuyi, who was holding a basin of hot water, stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

As the battle of defending the city continues to intensify, the number of wounded is also increasing, and more helpers are urgently needed to assist in treatment.

So—Otun Puyi was transferred to Kunoya's subordinate today, and became one of Kunoya's assistants.

As a man, Otonpuyi was originally a member of the "reserve army" that could fight on the city wall at any time.

But—Otunpuyi's strength is really too bad.

Not only is his physique not very strong, but his low level of archery was also exposed in the "Hunting Festival" that just ended not long ago.

If such a person went to the city wall, he would probably die.

Therefore, when choosing who should be sent to Kunoya's command to assist in the treatment of the wounded, Otunpuyi was transferred from the "reserve army" and transferred to Kunoya's command with almost unanimous approval.

Now, it is the first time for Aotongpuyi to "work on the job".

As soon as he came to the "treatment area" with hot water, Otongpuyi was stunned by the bloody scene in front of him.

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

Some lost limbs...

There are people with horrific openings...

I don't know when they died...

Otunpuyi, who has never even tried hunting alone, has ever seen such a bloody scene?

This bloody scene, the bloody smell that pierced his nostrils, made Otunpuyi's head stop, and he stood there dumbfounded...

"Hey! Boy! Don't be dazed! 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 awakened immediately.

"Yes, yes!" He hurriedly responded loudly, holding a basin 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 gash in his stomach.

"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 moment, "I... can I be saved..."

"You can be saved if you don't make a lot of noise here." Kunoya said, "You are lucky, your internal organs were not injured, as long as you sew this incision."

"It will hurt when you sew up the wound, bear with it."

"Hey, boy."

Kunoya turned her head to look at Otunpuyi.

"Come here and help, and wipe the skin around this man's wound clean together."

Otunpuyi turned his stiff neck to look at the young man's wounded abdomen.

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

Otunpuyi could see the movement of the man's small intestine through the wound.

Seeing this, Otunpuyi couldn't bear it anymore.

Turning around, he vomited loudly at the ground beside him.

"Pit quickly." Kunoya said in a calm tone, "After spit once or twice, you will get used to it."

...

At this very moment—

Red Moon Fortress, somewhere——

"Shendu, are you asleep?"

"Almost fell asleep." Tang Shen responded to Chanup while slowly opening his eyes.

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

And in front of him stood Chanup carrying a bag of dried meat and a bag of water.

"Here. I've brought you dinner."

Chanup handed the jerky and water to God Tang.

"Haha..." Tang Shen smiled softly, "Fortunately, you don't lack food and drink here. You can have a full meal."

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

After all, God Tang took the dried meat and water from Chanup.

"Eat slowly." Chanup said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

"...Chanup, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"Six days ago... when I decided to help you, you told me that at least 10 more days would be required."

"Now, six days have passed."

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

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

"Haha..." Tang Shen chuckled again, "Hiding it so deeply...you make me even more curious..."

"Did you prepare some ingenious plan to repel the shogunate army outside the city in one fell swoop?"

"It's up to your imagination." Chanup said softly.

"...Chanup, I think I need to remind you..." Tang Shen lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I have clearly felt that there are very few people who can take up arms and fight gone."

"Let me say a pessimistic word - we may...not last another 4 days..."

"...Don't think so much, Shendu." Qianup said softly, "You should be very tired now, you should rest at ease first."

"For the next thing, let's wait until later and think about the countermeasures slowly."

"...Yeah." Tang Shen nodded, "That's true..."

Speaking of this, Tang Shen paused as if he had thought about something.

Just when Chanup was about to turn around and leave, God Tang said again:

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

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

"...Well." Chanup smiled kindly at God Tang, "Don't worry. After 4 days, there will definitely be a scene that surprises you."
