I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

The dim sunlight reflected the fighting figures of the fighters of the two races, their ferocious faces, and their pained expressions after being injured.

Light and darkness, blood and fire, battle and retreat, life and death, and people and Ainu people are the scenes on this inner city wall.

This small inner city wall is like the epitome of the millennium struggle between the two ethnic groups.

The two ethnic groups who grew up on the same land have different faces and different cultures, and they fight for the land.

Thousands of years passed by.The territories of the two ethnic groups have changed, and the people have also changed for countless generations.

Among all the things that are right and wrong, the only constant is the greedy heart.

The only thing that remains the same is that after the blood flowing in the bodies of the people of the two ethnic groups is blended together, they are actually indistinguishable from each other.

Heren has vowed not to give up if he does not capture the Red Moon Fortress.

And the soldiers of the Red Moon Fortress also vowed to defend their last line of defense.

In this struggle that they can no longer retreat and lose, Chanup has used the last resort he can use.

With a quick movement that didn't match his age, Chanup drew an arrow from the quiver on his back, put the arrow on the bow, and shot it straight at a Japanese soldier whose head had just emerged from the ladder. .

"Mr. Chanup!" At this moment, a young man standing next to Chanup said anxiously, "Please step back!"

"Many people were touched by your fighting spirit, so they took up arms and followed you!"

"If you have any emergency, we"

Before the young man finished speaking, Chanup interrupted with a smile:

"Back? Young man, where can we go now?"

"Once the inner city wall falls, our hometown will completely fall."

"This is our last line of defense."

"There is no place for us to retreat!"

"Fighting side by side with you is the last resort I can use."

Having said that, Chanup drew an arrow from the quiver again, and shouted at the same time:

"Five people! Come with me!"

The last resort Chanup could use was to go into battle himself, boosting the morale of those who were still alive while increasing their defenses as much as possible.

Retannoe, who had repeatedly prevented Chanup from going to the front line before, did not jump out at this time and stopped Chanup.

Because Retannoe is now also holding a bow and arrow, fighting at the forefront.

Not just Chanup, Raitannoe.

Now in the Red Moon Fortress, almost everyone who can fight on the city wall is fighting on the city wall.

Including A-Machi.

Before the enemy climbed up, Chanup advised Ah-ding to take refuge in a safe place, but Ah-ding refused without hesitation.

Seeing that Ah-ding could not be persuaded, Chanup had no choice but to send people to protect Ah-ding, who had given the Japanese soldiers a head-on blow after the Japanese soldiers charged, just like protecting other shooters.

Just like destroying the Japanese army's artillery array just now, Ah-cho and her "shooting team" killed and wounded all the Japanese soldiers who seemed to be difficult to deal with one by one.

Naturally, the Hejun also discovered A-cho, who is a "powerful firepower point", and tried to launch an attack on A-cho's location several times, but because A-cho was in the deepest part of the inner city wall, and these shooters had a large number of fighters to protect them , so unless they killed all the soldiers standing in front of them, or took the opportunity to shoot a cold arrow to kill A Ding, otherwise they were doomed to have nothing to do with A Ding.

Machi wasn't the only female warrior on the wall.

In this fierce battlefield, Chanup's only daughter Asuma is also fighting.

"hiss"

Aisuma clutched her right arm, and the constant soreness in her right arm made Aisuma gasp a few times.

Since 3 days ago, their strength has been stretched, and a capable heroine like Aisuma has to go to the battlefield.

After 3 days of hard work, Aisuma felt like 3 years had passed.

The fierceness of the battle was naturally accompanied by grisly corpses.

The dead body at Asuma's left foot was her compatriot, whose skull had been ripped open by a spear.

The dead body at her right foot had been cut in the stomach, and the intestines flowed out from the wound, piled on a pair of hands that were folded as he tried to stuff the intestines back.

A Japanese soldier not far away suffered a serious injury to his left leg. The knee part of the entire left leg was only connected by a little skin and flesh.

Another Japanese soldier, both of his legs were seriously injured, so he could only crawl on the ground with his hands.

Aisuma has long been indifferent to all these tragedies.

During these 3 days of fighting, the biggest change brought to Aisuma was that she completely became a person who would no longer respond to dead bodies of various shapes.

She has only one thought in her mind now: drive all these and people away.

Even if Ai Suma's arm is sore from drawing the bow and shooting arrows for days, even if she raises her right arm every time, the pain distorts Ai Suma's facial features and groans in pain Even if she will die at any time now, Ai Suma Ma Ye still gritted her teeth, pulled out a new arrow from the quiver, put the arrow on the bow

A slash from top right to bottom left chopped the face of an extremely majestic Japanese soldier to pieces.

What was transmitted along the knife to Tang Shen's arm was not only the killing touch, but also the reaction force brought by the blade's slashing.

This reaction force was transmitted to Tangshen's shoulder in one breath, piercing Tangshen's nerves like thin needles.

"Well"

After withdrawing the knife from the Japanese soldier whose face had been slashed, Tang Shen raised his left hand to cover his right arm.

Tangshen's right arm was now extremely congested due to the strenuous exercise, the muscles were tense, and the veins burst out.

The non-stop bitter fighting put Tang Shen's right arm in a state of overwork, reaching the limit that his old body could achieve.

Now, every time Tangshen swung his knife, his muscles and bones would feel severe pain, protesting to Tangshen.

"Quick! Kill this old man!"

"This old man killed many of us!"

"Surround him! Surround him!"

The 5 neighboring Japanese soldiers noticed Tangshen's strangeness, so they raised their guns and surrounded Tangshen.

However, they had just stepped within three steps of Tangshen, when an arc-shaped saber light enveloped them all, passing over every vital point on their bodies.

The passage of time is not speeded up or slowed down by anything.

The originally bleak sunlight slowly turned into the unique orange light of the setting sun.

In this era when all lighting depends on fire, the shogunate army obviously does not have the ability to fight at night.

The troops that can fight at night in the dark night are basically the best of the best.

Like the shogunate army, which has fallen and fallen in a peaceful life for a long time, if it starts a night battle, I am afraid that it has not seen the enemy yet, and there will be a large-scale "non-combat attrition" due to various things on its own side. .

Inamori looked at the sky above his head that had turned orange, the military equipment in his hand and the teeth in his mouth were all creaking.

The inner wall of the Red Moon Fortress has not yet fallen!

"Master Inamori." A confidant next to Inamori was afraid that Inamori, who threatened yesterday that he would capture the Red Moon Fortress within a day, would be impulsive and force the troops to continue fighting at night, so he boldly continued, "Night is coming, we"

"I know!!"

Before the confidant finished speaking, Inamori interrupted the confidant's words with a roar.

After being yelled at by Inamori, the confidant immediately shut his mouth tightly, straightened his back, and dared not say any more.

Inamori poured flames towards the distant fortress with eyes that seemed to spew out fire.

After a long while, Inamori finally said in a deep voice:

"Retreat. Prepare for the night."

"The war people have retreated." Chanup murmured in a low voice, looking at the peace army retreating slowly like the ebbing tide.

Everyone is the same as Chanup, looking at the retreating peace army, the expressions in everyone's eyes and faces are extremely complicated.

After watching the Hejun retreat, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

You look at me, I look at you, everyone is covered with blood, everyone is tired.

Obviously they successfully repelled the Hejun's attack again and lasted for another day, but almost no one was happy.

There is always joy on the face, but after seeing many familiar faces, and seeing the unbearable appearance of people who are still alive, the joy will completely disappear .

Obviously once again successfully repelled the Hejun who climbed up, but the atmosphere on the city wall was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

"Chanup, are you injured?" At this moment, Raitannoe, who came to look for Chanup, looked at Chanup's face in surprise.

On Chanup's side face, there is now a huge scar from the corner of the left eye to the corner of the right eye.

"It's okay, it's just that I was accidentally scratched by a Kazuto's spear just now."

After all, Chanup looked away from Retannoe and looked around with a complicated look: "Many people are missing again."

"Let the children get off first." Lei Tannoe said softly, "I see many children can't even stand upright now."

"Let the children who are still physically strong stay on the city wall to stand guard, and the rest of the children who are tired and about to collapse, let them quickly go to rest under the city wall and prepare to eat." Chanup said, "Let's divide the work and cooperate. .I will assign the guards tonight, and you will lead a group of people to carry the wounded down and clear the city wall."

Retannoe nodded, and quickly walked away from Chanup's eyes, and Chanup also began to order the soldiers who could walk well to evacuate from the city wall in an orderly manner.

"Miss Machi."

After the soldiers retreated from the city wall in an orderly manner according to Qianup's arrangement, Qianup found Ah Ding.

The other members of Ah-cho's "sniper team" have all withdrawn now, and Ah-cho is the only one who remains sitting where he is.

She raised her head, looking out of the city as if she was looking into the distance, or looking at something else.

"Today, I have really worked hard for you, and I am also very grateful to you." In Chanup's words, he did not hide his gratitude, "Now that you have retired from the army, you should hurry up and take a rest. "

Today, when A-Ting found him and told Chanup that she wanted to try to use her musket to launch long-distance shooting at the artillery formations of the Japanese Army, there was a large part of the reason why he finally agreed to let A-Ting go into battle. It's because A-machi is Ogata's wife.

"Mashima-kun is an incredible person, so his wife might not be an ordinary person." This was Chanup's thought at the time.

In addition, A-Ming insisted on letting her play, and she couldn't be blamed anyway. In the end, Chanup held the idea of ​​​​"let's try it" and let A-Ming take her into battle.

In the end, it turns out that she really deserves to be the wife of a hero like Mashima-kun.

"Mr. Chanup, you don't need to thank you so much." Ating smiled at Chanup, "I and you are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If your fortress helps , is also a disaster for me.”

"What's more, you also have great kindness to us."

"First, assist us to find the pair of doctors together. Then, heal the wounded me."

"Because of emotion and reason, I have no reason to sit idly by and stand by."

"I haven't been outdoors for a long time, and I've been bored in Kunoya's clinic during this time."

Speaking of this, Ah-Machi turned his head and turned his gaze to the distance outside the city.

"I want to stay here for a while, and I will go down to rest later."

Seeing that Ah-ding said so, Chanup naturally couldn't say anything more, and after telling Ah-ding "The night is very cold, be careful not to freeze", then went to direct the children to walk from the city wall in an orderly manner. Up and down.

It was a moonless and starless night.

During the day today, after the frightening snowstorm blew up, the dark clouds that had piled up in the sky still hadn't completely dissipated.

At the beginning of this struggle, everyone in the Red Moon Fortress would celebrate every night that they successfully kept Heren out of the city again today.

But now there is no similar scene in the city.

After night fell, except for the soldiers who needed to stand guard on the city wall, the rest of the people withdrew from the city wall one after another.

Less talking and laughing.

Even the sound of walking is much lighter.

Chapter 566 Ogata Returns! [Burst update 1W]

Today, the weather is still pretty bad.

After the snowstorm yesterday, the dark clouds that finally dispersed a little gathered up again, layer upon layer, without even a ray of sunlight penetrating in.

Although it is dawn, but because of the thick dark clouds blocking the sun, the brightness is only slightly better than the night.

Today is the 13th day since Ogata left Red Moon Fortress.

Today is the 11th day of the offensive and defensive battle of Red Moon Fortress.

In the main formation of the shogunate army, Inamori folded his arms and looked expressionlessly at the scarred fortress in the distance.

"The victory will finally be decided." At this moment, a voice came from behind Inamori that surprised Inamori.
