I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"But if you ride on a horse and engage in a horse battle with me, then I have the certainty of victory!"

Sheng Tianmu took the wooden spear that was placed on the side, and got ready to shoot it.

"If I'm riding on a horse and let me use my three guns, I'm absolutely sure that Ogata Yasue won't even be able to get close to me!"

Three guns are large spears with a length of more than 3 guns. 1 room 18 meters

Sheng Tianmu is best at horse fighting, he is a good player in horse fighting.

In horse combat, the length advantage of a longer weapon is further magnified.

Because riding on a horse, it is bound to not be as flexible as two feet on the ground.

Unless your mount is really connected with you, and you want it to step 92 cm to the left, it will never step 93 cm. However, how many people can have such a tacit understanding with their mount? ?

Not being flexible enough to move means that it is more difficult to get close to enemies with long weapons.

As far as Sheng Tianmu knew, that Ogata Yishi didn't seem to be able to use weapons other than knives.

With him using the Sanjian gun and Ogata using the knife, and both of them on horseback, Sheng Tianmu was absolutely sure that he could beat Ogata so that he couldn't even get close to him.

"It's a pity that you don't have the chance to compete with Ogata Yasushi." Kuroda continued, "Since he broke through the Nijo Castle in Kyoto, he has disappeared until now."

"It is said that Ogata Itsuki may have died in Nijo Castle in Kyoto. His body had already been charred by the fire, and the original appearance could not be discerned."

"If that Ogata Yasushi is still alive, then I don't think I will dare to do anything big for the rest of my life."

"I think people who have a little brain and cherish their lives will not dare to show their faces now that they have been completely hated by the shogunate and the court."

"That Ogata Itsue may have been anonymous by now, living in seclusion in a place where the birds don't shit, begging for a wife with big enough breasts and round buttocks to be fertile, and living an anonymous life."

"Hmph." Sheng Tianmu sneered, "I hope that Ogata Yishi won't just live in seclusion like this."

"If this kind of scumbag of a warrior is allowed to live the rest of his life in such a mediocre way, it would be too cheap for him."

Right now

Matsumae Domain, Matsumae Castle, somewhere

"Maka Nao." A strong man with a beard so thick that it almost covered his entire face said to a strong man in front of him whose beard was not inferior to him: " It's almost time."

"Yeah." The person sitting in front of him nodded.

If the people of Matsumae Castle, who usually pay attention to the arrest warrants in the city, were present, they would definitely recognize this nodding guy as the felon who is still on the run: Maca Nao.

Since he learned that Nakamatsudaira Sadanobu was going to visit the Matsumae Domain in person, in order to ensure the security of the Matsumae Domain, the Lord of the Matsumae Domain personally ordered to arrest all criminals who were still fleeing in the domain.

Under the vigorous rectification of the Matsumae domain, the bounty offenders who fled abroad were arrested one after another.

Maca Nao, who has a bounty of 20 taels of gold, is the only naturalized Ezo with a bounty left in Matsumae Castle who has not been caught yet.

When Ogata and Ah-machi were still in Matsumae Castle, they were introduced to Maca Nao by a warm-hearted uncle, and they were warned to pay more attention to this vicious criminal.

After receiving the notification that "it's time", Maca stood up and walked towards the window next to him.

After glancing at the sky outside, he revealed a sinister smile:

"let's start."

"Father, I want this."

A little boy sitting on the shoulders of a middle-aged man said to the middle-aged man under his buttocks.

The middle-aged man and the little boy are a father and son.

The father and son are currently shopping somewhere in Matsumae Castle.

What the little boy was referring to was a fox mask on a mask stand.

Seeing that the father and son hoped to become his guests, the owner of the mask stall immediately smiled flatteringly and said to the father and son:

"You are very discerning! This fox mask of mine is the best quality and best-selling product in my stall! It only costs 8 copper coins!"

The boy's father grimaced.

Although their family is not poor, it is definitely not rich.

Eight copper coins are enough to eat half a bowl of soba noodles.

Father wanted to refuse.

But after looking up at his son who was looking at him expectantly, he couldn't say the words of rejection.

Thinking that this is a rare father-son outing after all, the father took out his money bag while smiling, and took out 8 copper coins one by one, handed them to the stall owner, and then smiled again. The full-faced stall owner took the fox mask and handed it to his son who was riding on his shoulders.

The son who took the mask was flushed with excitement.

"Father, thank you"

Whoosh!

Before his son could finish his thanks, a sound of breaking wind from behind interrupted his words.

laugh!

An arrow shot from behind hit his father's chest precisely.

The arrow shot in from the back of the chest and passed out from the front of the chest. Blood splashed all over the mask stall owner standing in front of him.

The boy froze.

The owner of the mask stand was dumbfounded.

Everyone around was stunned.

"Well..." the father was spitting out blood while struggling hard, trying to stand still.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Yes, someone killed someone!"

There were screams all around.

However, his heart was damaged, and after shaking a few times, he fell heavily to the ground.

His son, who was riding on his shoulders, fell to the ground together with him.

However, the son didn't care about the pain at all.

He hurriedly got up and shouted to his father in horror:

"father"

laugh!laugh!laugh!laugh!laugh

Before he could finish saying "Father", the sound of pulling the bowstring one after another overwhelmed his voice.

One arrow after another, like locusts, rushed towards everyone on this street.

And the people who shot these arrows were a group of people standing at the intersection wearing kimonos but with the facial features of the Ainu people.

Matsumae Domain, Matsumae Castle

The dispatch of troops is imminent, and Matsudaira Sadanobu has been very busy these days.

But Sadanobu Matsudaira was originally a "super workaholic". Not only did Matsudaira Sadanobu not feel hard work, but rather enjoyed the feeling of being so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

But he is not the kind of person who is so busy that he even ignores the simple truth of "combining work and rest".

At this time, Matsudaira Sadanobu, who had just finished a lot of work, was standing in front of a window with his hands behind his back, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

It is Matsudaira Sadanobu's favorite way to relax while blowing the wind and watching the scenery.

His little surname stood behind him, blowing the wind with him.

While blowing the wind and looking at the scenery, Matsudaira Sadanobu occasionally chats with Tachibana who has been accompanying him all the time.

like now

"Tachibana." Matsudaira Sadanobu casually asked Tachibana who was behind him, "I heard that Sheng Tianmu and others from the Sendai Domain used to make a lot of noise every day when exercising their martial arts, and they disturbed many people. Is this true?"

"It's true." Lihua immediately replied, "Master Shengtianmu and they all have loud voices, so the noise they made during practice really disturbed many people."

Speaking of this, Tachibana paused, and then asked Matsudaira Sadanobu:

"My lord, do you need to warn them to pay attention to the volume?"

"No need." Matsudaira Sadanobu said, "Leave them alone for such trivial matters."

"I originally wanted to take advantage of the time to go and see Sheng Tianmu's drills, and see what kind of great men the Seven Guns of Xianzhou are."

Speaking of this, Matsudaira Sadanobu showed a slight smile with a hint of helplessness.

"It's a pity that I haven't been able to find time."

Matsudaira Sadanobu only wanted to casually chat with Tachibana behind him.

But while chatting, Matsudaira Sadanobu's thoughts uncontrollably returned to thinking about the business.

During this time, General Gamo of the Aizu Army and General Tenmoku of the Sendai Army stayed in Matsumae Castle, discussing with the generals of the Shogunate Army headed by Inamori about the future dispatch of troops.

Gamo and Sheng Tianmu are the generals of the 2000 Aizu Army and the 1800 Sendai Army respectively, so Matsudaira Sadanobu can ignore the generals of other vassal armies, but these two cannot be ignored.

During this period of time, Matsudaira Sadanobu has been carefully observing and getting familiar with these two generals whom he is not familiar with.

Although the time was short, Matsudaira Sadanobu still had some simple understanding of these two people.

Sheng Tianmu is irritable and has a simple and rough personality.

Moreover, Sheng Tianmu is a bit arrogant, and has too much confidence in his own martial arts and the strength of the Sendai Army.

On the other hand, Gamo is not talkative, doesn't have many expressions, and looks a little gloomy.

A few days ago, Matsudaira Sadanobu heard something related to Gamo.

Matsudaira Sadanobu heard that Gamo's heart is far less "calm as water" than he looks on the outside.

Gamo is actually a person who cares a lot and longs for fame and fortune.

Whether this news is true or not is yet to be studied and discovered by Matsudaira Sadanobu.

Sadanobu Matsudaira now has two things that he cares about very much.

The first place I am very concerned about: how strong are the soldiers of the Aizu Army and the Sendai Army.

The second thing I am very concerned about: whether the Aizu generals headed by Gamo and the Sendai generals headed by Sheng Tianmu are reliable on the battlefield.

Matsudaira Sadanobu knows how the soldiers and generals of the shogunate army are, but he doesn't count the soldiers of the armies of the rest of the vassal states.

The combined armies of Aizu and Sendai have 3800 soldiers. If the generals of the other feudal clans are stretched, then that’s all. For the Shogunate & Northeast Allied Forces", that would be a very headache.

Although during this period of time, Gamo and others and Sheng Tianmu and others have discussed with the generals of the shogunate army about sending troops in the future, but it cannot be seen whether the generals are good or bad.
