I was a swordsman in ancient Japan
Page 537
The first impression this person gave Ogata was that he was tall.
In Ogata's impression, the last time he needed to raise his head so high to speak to someone was when he spoke to Mucun, who was 1 meters tall, before leaving Edo.
And this guy in front of him is taller than Mucun, his height is definitely over 1 meters.
Not only tall but also strong, even wearing heavy armor, Ogata can still feel the rock-like towering and tight muscles under the armor.
Ogata, who is 1 meters tall, is already considered outstanding in this era, let alone someone who is over 7 meters tall.
With such a tall and strong body, just standing there is enough to scare some people to pee.
He has a very young face, just from his appearance, his age is about 26 years old.
This guy was wearing battle armor, and Ogata couldn't help but look at this guy's armor a few more times.
Because this is the first time Ogata has seen this traditional large armor since he traveled to the Edo period.
The last time I saw the armor was in Kyoto a few months ago, when I encountered a group of enemies dressed in Nanman's body.
The Nanman carcass is a kind of "hybrid" that combines the characteristics of Western-style armor and Japanese-style armor. It has excellent defensive power and is also very rare.
The armor on the guy in front of him is the traditional Japanese armor.
The breastplate is made of small pieces of nail leaves, covered with a layer of leather mainly made of buckskin.
After being wrapped in leather made of deerskin, the appearance of the armor can be smoothed to prevent the bowstring from being scratched by the armor when the samurai shoots arrows.
Even if he doesn't know anything about fabrics, Ogata can tell that the black haori that this guy wears over his armor must be made of very high-grade fabrics. Just by looking at it, you can feel the feathers Weaving is expensive.
As the name suggests, Jin feather weaving is a sleeveless feather weaving that is worn outside the armor.
The main function is to make the wearer look more stylish, and it also has the function of preventing cold.
But this thin layer of sleeveless haori can't prevent any cold, so the main function of the haori is to make the wearer look more handsome, more stylish, and easy to pretend.
Generally speaking, only generals in the army can wear Jinhaori.
This person has declared his family name, and Ogata immediately revealed his name:
"Hosho Sword Gym diner, Goro Mashima."
"I've heard just now that someone is coming to kick the gym. Is it you?"
After all, Ogata turned his head and glanced at the dozen or so strangers sitting in a corner of the dojo.
The clothes of these strangers are embroidered with the same family pattern bamboo sparrow pattern as Qiuyue's feather weave.
The bamboo sparrow pattern is the family crest of the Date family who ruled the Sendai Domain.
In addition, Qiuyue called herself "Seven Guns of Xianzhou" just now.
The identities of the group headed by Qiuyue are already coming out of the Sendai Domain.
Ogata couldn't help thinking of the news that Jiro Nishino told him just now that "the army of the Sendai domain is stationed near Nishinocho".
After combining the known information so far, Ogata then asked the man in heavy armor in front of him, Akizuki Toshimae:
"I heard that the army of the Sendai domain is stationed near Nishinocho."
"Are you the generals of the Sendai Domain?"
"That's right!" Qiuyue grinned, "We are the generals of the Sendai Domain."
"Staying in the barracks is kind of boring."
"Then I heard that there is a sword gym in Jinye Town, which is very close to the military camp."
"So I took advantage of a little time now, and came here to pass the time."
"As for kicking the gym you just said," Qiuyue shrugged, "Don't put it so harshly, it's just an ordinary visit to learn from each other and ask for advice."
"I consider myself to be that kind of character. No matter what the result of today's consultation is, I will not spread it to the outside world."
After all, Qiuyue looked at Ogata in front of her again.
"Since you can be invited to be a diner, then your strength should be very strong."
"I see that the calluses on your palms are very thick."
"Only those who hold swords for many years have such palms."
Qiuyue showed a happy smile.
"Are you trying to challenge me?" Ogata asked in a flat tone.
"Are you willing to accept my challenge?"
"I am also a customer of Baosheng Sword Gym. If you want to challenge me, then I will accompany you to the end."
The masters and apprentices of Baosheng Sword Gym have successfully helped him earn a lot of experience points in the recent period.
Ogata treated the masters and apprentices of the Baosheng Sword Gym with gratitude.
And he is also a diner of Baosheng Sword Gym on the surface.It is the duty of diners to protect the sword hall.
Leaving personal dignity aside, Ogata has no reason to back down from the challenge of the "Kickers" when it comes to his feelings for the masters and apprentices of the Baosheng Sword Gym.
"Happy!" The smile on Qiuyue's face became stronger, "But I have to wait a while before I can challenge you."
"Before you came, you already agreed to ask another person for advice."
After all, Qiuyue turned her head and looked at the apprentices kneeling on both sides of the dojo.
"Hey! Who said you wanted to challenge me just now?"
"it's me!"
As soon as Qiuyue finished speaking, a young man got up from the edge of the dojo.
"Under Baosheng Ten Swords Miyauchi Ichiro!"
After reporting to the house, Miyauchi turned to look at Ogata, and apologized to Ogata.
"I'm sorry, Mashima-sama, please allow me to ask Xianzhou Qibengun for advice."
Ogata naturally didn't care about such trivial matters as who went first and who came later.After nodding his head, he took off the big Shitian on his left waist, held it with his right hand, and walked quickly towards Director Baosheng's side.
"Put on the armor." Qiuyue pouted towards the palace.
As soon as Qiuyue finished speaking, the dozen or so warriors who had been sitting quietly in a corner of the dojo just now, wearing clothes embroidered with the family crest of the Sendai feudal clan, started to move.
They held a set of armor in front of Miyau, and then helped Miyau put on the armor.
After walking quickly to Director Baosheng's side, Ogata quickly bent his knees and sat down.
After Ogata sat down, curator Hosho briefly exchanged greetings with Ogata, asking how the two days before Ogata had been away from Nishinocho.
After the simple greetings, Xu conveniently began to ask Qiuyue and his group what was going on.
Director Baosheng also briefly explained what happened.
About half an hour ago, this group of people suddenly visited their sword hall.
The group of uninvited guests told them bluntly that they wanted to ask for advice.
Although there were a dozen or so of them, the only one who wanted to ask for advice was Qiuyue Liqian, who called himself "Seven Spears of Xianzhou".
Qiuyue said that wearing armor makes it easier to fight with others, and it is not easy to be injured or injure others while wearing armor, so both parties are required to wear armor.
So in addition to bringing her own armor, Qiuyue also carefully brought 3 pairs of armor of different sizes for people of different sizes to wear.
Before Ogata arrived at the sword gym, Qiuyue had already sparred with the three apprentices of the sword hall.
Those who stepped forward to face Qiuyue were all members of "Baosheng Ten Swords".
The result of the battle was Qiuyue's victory without exception.
Facing Qiuyue's 3-meter-long spear, the members of "Baosheng Ten Swords" who stepped forward to fight were all helpless and quickly lost.
Qiuyue happened to defeat the "Baosheng Ten Swords" who came forward to fight in third place, and Miyauchi Langsheng, who was also one of the "Baosheng Ten Swords", said that when he came to fight Qiuyue in the next game, Oo was conveniently entering the dojo.
After quietly listening to Director Baosheng's explanation of the cause and effect of the matter, Ogata asked in a volume that only he and Director Baosheng could hear clearly:
"Mr. Baosheng, can you introduce the Seven Guns of Xianzhou to me? What is it?"
Ogata originally thought that he didn't know the "Seven Guns of Xianzhou" because he was a foreigner and was not familiar with Ou Yu.
But who would have thought that Director Baosheng also shook his head slightly.
"I don't know much about Xianzhou's seven guns."
Curator Hosho said in a low voice that only he and Ogata could hear clearly:
"I only know that the Seven Spears of Xianzhou are the honorary title given by the current lord of the Sendai Domain to the seven most brave generals in their army."
"Other than that, I don't know anything about the Seven Guns of Xianzhou."
Although curator Baosheng didn't know much about "Xianzhou Seven Guns", his simple introduction just now made the fog in Ogata's mind dissipate a little.
What is known so far is that there are 7 people in the "Seven Guns of Xianzhou", and their skills should be very good, strong enough to stand out in the army.
At this time, Gong Nai, one of the "Ten Swords of Baosheng" who had just decided to challenge Qiuyue, finally put on his armor.
After putting on the armor, Miyauchi casually took a wooden knife from the knife holder, and then stood in front of Qiuyue, posing in a standard mid-section posture.
After setting up the knife in the palace, Qiuyue spread her feet apart, held the gun, left hand in front, right hand behind, and pointed the tip of the gun wrapped in white cloth directly at the palace.
When Miyauchi carried the gun on his shoulders just now, he didn't think the gun was scary.
It wasn't until he put the gun down and pointed the tip at the person that he clearly felt how oppressive the gun was.
The gun in Qiuyue's hand can be seen to be specially made.
With a length of 3 meters and a gun shaft half as thick as the mouth of a bowl, people with little strength can't handle this gun.
Because Qiuyue uses a long spear, in order not to be accidentally injured by Qiuyue, everyone in the dojo sat farther than usual when watching the sparring.
A person with a height of 1 meters wields a 9-meter-long spear. Only the person facing him can truly feel how terrifying the pressure is.
Miyauchi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and took a few deep breaths to calm down the nervous mood a little.
Then, while shouting, he poured all his strength into his feet, intending to use all his strength from the beginning to close the distance between himself and Qiuyue in one breath.
However, he had just taken a few steps when he saw the gun head wrapped in white cloth zooming in on his field of vision at an extremely fast speed.
Just now Qiuyue took half a step back at a much faster speed than Gong Nei, then adjusted the tip of the spear and stabbed towards Gong Nei.
That's the disgusting thing about long arms.
In cold weapon fighting, as long as it is not on any special occasion, the person who uses long weapons and has a wider attack range has the advantage.
It is very common for a rookie who has only learned spears for a month or two to use a spear to overthrow a veteran swordsman who has been practicing swordsmanship for several years.
The practicability of the spear is so high that it is foolish in battle, so it is called the "king of a hundred soldiers".
Facing the gun head that was about to hit his chest, Miyauchi avoided it dangerously.
Qiuyue's changes were extremely fast.
Seeing that his straight stab missed, he quickly changed his posture.
From "stab" to "whip".
Like flicking a whip, Qiuyue threw the spear in her hand towards the palace.
Qiuyue's "whip" this time was much faster than the "stab" just now.
Gong Nai, who had no time to dodge, was struck firmly in the side and was knocked down to the ground.
Qiuyue only made two moves back and forth, and defeated Gong Nei, one of the "Ten Swords of Baosheng".
The few apprentices who were sitting closest to the palace quickly stepped forward, helped the palace up, and checked if there was any injury in the palace.
Ogata could see that Qiuyue held back just now.
Qiuyue kept her hands, and she was wearing armor, so the palace was not injured.
After easily defeating Miyauchi, Qiuyue put the big wooden gun in her hand on her shoulder again, then turned to look at Ogata, grinning:
"Okay, diners. Come on!"
Qiuyue calls for Ogata to play.
And Ogata is not procrastinating.
He also took off the Da Zizai on the left waist and placed it on the tatami on the right, then walked slowly to Qiuyue.
Qiuyue actually has the reputation of "Xianzhou Seven Guns", so he must be a high-ranking general in the Sendai Fan army.
