Chapter 718 You are a mature demon knife, you must learn to split the mast by yourself (Part 2) 【6200】
Wow!
At this time, huge waves came, and under the impact of the big waves, the hull of Huluwan tilted nearly 20 degrees.
Just when the hull of the Gourd Maru was tilting, a large number of musketeers who heard the news and came for reinforcements appeared at the end of the corridors behind Ogata.
Ogata roughly counted the total number of people at about 10 people.
One look at these musketeers who came for reinforcements showed that they must be quite familiar with life on the ship.
Even though the ship tilted so much under the pounding of huge waves, their feet were still firmly planted on the deck and they arranged their gun formations at Ogata in an orderly manner.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
At the same moment when these musketeers opened fire, Omoto quickly dodged to the side and hid behind a nearby artillery piece.
Click, click, click...
The projectile hit the steel gun body of the artillery, making a sharp friction sound of metal hitting metal.
At this moment, Ogata, who was using the artillery as a cover to temporarily avoid the first round of fire from the musketeers, suddenly discovered that the deck under his feet was tilted due to the tilt of the ship's hull due to the waves.
And he was standing directly above the skewed deck, while the musketeers who came to support were standing directly below the deck.
The battlefield situation has become very strange. These musketeers are attacking Ogata from above, and Ogata is attacking these musketeers.
The artillery piece that Ogata is using as a bunker happens to be facing the musketeers, right above their heads...
With such a terrain, there is no reason not to make use of it.
Ogata raised his right hand and slashed at the two ropes beside him.
These two ropes are the traction ropes used to hold the artillery and prevent the artillery from running too far backward due to recoil after firing...
The traction rope used to hold the cannon was cut off, and the cannon, which Ogata used as a cover, immediately smashed toward the musketeers along the sloping deck like a runaway wild horse.
Screams of terror replaced the sound of gunfire.
The musketeers no longer cared about whether there was a gun formation or not, and fled in all directions.
Their escape speed was quite fast, with only one unlucky guy not escaping immediately.
How heavy is a cannon whose entire body is made of steel?
The unlucky guy who was hit by the cannon because he didn't escape in time was hit with blood from seven holes while "hugging" the cannon and being "built" into the wall of the ship behind it together with the cannon. .
Although this artillery did not cause too much damage to the enemy, the goal Ogata wanted to achieve was still achieved.
He only hoped to use this artillery to destroy their gun array.
The ship was still tilting, and Ogata launched a physically condescending attack.
He jumped up, and with the help of gravity, he dodged at a dizzying speed in front of a lone or musketeer who had just left the team to avoid the falling artillery.
Swing your sword and kill with one blow, all in one go.
Without the gun array, the musketeers who could not shoot together could only fight independently, and their combat effectiveness declined exponentially.
"Damn..." A certain musketeer cursed loudly while raising the flintlock gun in his hand that had just been reloaded.
He just had time to raise the muzzle of the gun
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking wind, completely different from the sound of projectiles flying, filled this person's throat.
"Uh...!" The musketeer felt a tearing pain in his throat. He raised his trembling hand, touched his throat, inserted a stick into his throat and stabbed him directly. Two pierced shurikens.
He subconsciously wanted to see who had thrown this shuriken.
But his limbs that had lost control and his vision that was rapidly dimming could no longer allow him to do this.
"Finally climbed up..." With the corner of his eye, he glanced at the direction in which the shuriken that helped him deal with a musketeer flew out, and a faint smile appeared on Ogata's face.
The person who threw this shuriken was Hatsuko.
Hatsumi, who had just climbed up along the chain thrown by Ogata, was breathing heavily now.
At the muzzle behind her, the stronger Makimura was constantly inhaling, trying to make his belly smaller, and he was struggling to get into the ship along the muzzle.
The remaining musketeers who were still alive also noticed that enemy reinforcements were coming.
"Quick!" Someone raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at Makimura, who was still stuck at the muzzle and could not enter or leave. "Stop him..."
Whoosh!
Before the man could finish speaking, another shuriken was thrown by Chu Guang and pierced his throat, leaving him with no chance to speak the rest of his words.
Previously, when Hatsumi asked Ogata and Genichi and others to take her to pursue Toyotomi, in order to convince Ogata and others, they all said, "She is very confident in her own strength and will not hold you back."
According to Ogata's observations so far, Hatsumi's words are indeed not lying.
Ogata didn't know what Hatsuko's accomplishments were in other weapons, but just based on Hatsuko's skill in throwing shurikens, Ogata had to give him a very high rating.
Throwing weapons like shurikens are one of the most suitable weapons for women like Hatsumi, whose muscles are weaker than men.
For this small throwing weapon, "skill" is far more important than "power".
There is no need to engage in face-to-face confrontation with the enemy. Even if you have weak muscles, as long as you throw accurately enough, you can still pose a great threat to the enemy.
Throat, eyes... These parts of the human body are difficult to exercise, so whether they are strong or weak, they are equally fragile.
Even the shuriken thrown by a woman can still cause huge damage to the enemy as long as it can hit these parts.
Even if Ogata is the only one fighting here, these musketeers have no reason to win, not to mention that there is still a Hatsuko who can provide long-range support?
With Hatsuguang's cooperation, Ogata quickly knocked down all standing enemies within his field of vision with the force of the wind and waves.
After Ogata and Hatsumi cleared the surrounding area, Makimura, who had been stuck at the muzzle of the gun due to his strong body, was finally lined up behind him, waiting for the joint push of Genichi and Mamiya who were waiting to quickly enter the ship.
got off and squeezed into the cabin.
"Hahaha!" Genichi, the last one to board the ship, immediately joked to himself in a half-joking tone after entering the cabin along the cannon port, "Fortunately, it is spring now and the weather is not too cold, otherwise it would be
My whole body is wet and I will die from the cold."
"Lord Genichi." Ogata held up his two swords and walked quickly towards Genichi and the others, "You are not injured, are you?"
"Except for accidentally drinking too much sea water, which makes me feel a little nauseous now, everything is fine with us." Yuan Yi said lightly, "For some reason just now, many of the guns on the other battleship misfired, causing our
The crossing went smoothly."
"Many of the guns on the other battleship have misfired?" Ogata frowned slightly, looking confused.
"Yeah. I don't know what happened." Yuan Yi shrugged, "But no matter what, it will benefit us."
After briefly bringing up the topic of "some of Nikki Maru's artillery misfiring due to unknown reasons," Genichi changed the subject and asked Ogata:
"Ogata-kun, did you find anything on this ship before we boarded it?"
"No." Ogata shook his head, "I found nothing. I didn't meet anyone suspected to be Toyotomi Nobuhide, nor did I find Miss Lin."
"...Ha." Yuan Yi smiled mockingly, "Xiaolin and Nobuhide must not be on another boat. I'm full of sea water. If conditions permit, I don't want to drink anymore in the short term.
Already."
…
…
Naturally, it was impossible for Ogata and the others to know the internal layout of Nikki Maru and Gyokumaru.
Chu Guang had never boarded these two ships before.
Therefore, their way of finding their way is very simple and crude: wherever there are many people, they go there.
Although this pathfinding method is crude, it is surprisingly effective on such a warship.
As they rushed to every place where there were many people, they kept shouting Lin's name, trying to find Lin's location. Genichi and the others knocked on the doors of every room along the way, trying to see if they could get into a certain room.
, and found that figure that was extremely familiar to them.
Ogata + Genichi + Mamiya + Makimura + Hatsumi... Melee, long-range, everything is available. On this Gourd Pill, it's basically killing people when someone blocks it, and killing Buddha when someone blocks it.
Of course, they wouldn't just go looking for someone stupidly.
After Genichi and others successfully reunited with Ogata, they tried to arrest many people and asked them: Where is Toyotomi Nobuhide? Have you seen a short young girl?
Faced with the question asked by Ogata and others, the answers given by these arrested people were almost exactly the same: Nobuhide Toyotomi had never seen a short girl on Nikki Maru.
Listening to their answers... Ogata and the others felt as if their hearts were "thumping"...
Toyotomi Nobuhide was not on this ship. They had never seen a short girl... Such an answer was the last answer Ogata and others wanted to hear after they had gone through so much trouble to board the ship.
…
However, to be on the safe side and not let go of the possibility that "Lin might be on this ship," Ogata and the others chose to conduct a thorough investigation on the ship.
They started looking for people from the bottom, and worked their way up one level at a time.
The warship is not a hotel and does not have that many rooms, so Ogata and the others searched very quickly.
They searched the cabins of Hulu Wan one after another at a very fast speed.
But until now... they have not been able to find the person they are looking for...
"Look!" Hatsuko, who had been using her superb shuriken throwing skills to provide remote support to Ogata and the others, suddenly raised her hand and pointed diagonally to the opposite side not far away, "There seems to be another one there.
Room!"
After Hatsumi's reminder, he rushed to the front with Genichi. Like Hatsumi, Ogata, who also mistakenly thought this was the door of another room, quickly quickened his pace a little, and walked in tandem with Genichi.
Run to the wooden door and open it
call!
The moment he opened the door, a large cloud of sea breeze immediately carried a large number of raindrops, drenching Ogata and Genichi standing behind him.
After opening the wooden door, Ogata did not see the room.
He only saw the sky, the ocean, and the sea breeze mixed with rain hitting his face.
"Oops..." Yuan Yi raised his hand to wipe the rain that had just hit his face, "Have you reached the top of the ship..."
The wooden door Ogata opened just now was not connected to any room.
It is connected to the open-air deck on the highest level of the ship.
"Are you on the open deck...?" Ogata and Genichi, who were walking a little slower, looked at the sky and sea outside the wooden door and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ah! They're on the open deck!"
"Anyone who can handle a weapon is following me!"
Although the flintlock gun is far more advanced than the matchlock gun, in terms of "environmental constraints", the former is not much better than the latter.
Both are afraid of rain and snow. Once they encounter rain or snow, they will become worse than burning fire sticks.
Therefore, on the open deck where a violent storm was blowing, the flintlock guns of the Huluwan crew were completely scrapped.
However, perhaps it is because the training received by the crew is more rigorous, and they all have extremely high military qualities.
Even though flintlock guns cannot be used on the open deck, a large number of sailors can still be seen everywhere on the open deck, holding spears and other weapons high, launching a fearless counterattack against Ogata and the others.
"Tsk...it's really endless..." Chu Guang cursed secretly, then took out several shurikens from his waist, rushed out of the cabin first, stepped onto the open deck, and attacked the enemies emerging from everywhere on the open deck.
Welcome.
Gucheng
…
…
Nikki Maru, inside the cabin
"Quick! Quick! This way! This way!"
Groups of crew members hurried toward the place where the explosion occurred.
Lin, who was hiding in a dark place not far away, quietly observed what was going on outside and thought to herself:
It looks like... there seems to be an accident at the stern of the ship...
God help me... take advantage of the commotion on this ship and get out of here quickly...
After confirming that the crews rushing to the explosion site outside were all far away, Lin quickly stepped out of the darkness where she was hiding.
Damn it... am I just too unlucky, or is this the design of this ship? How come such a big ship doesn't even have a window big enough to jump out of?! Gu... here we go again
...!
Just now, the Rihui Pill shook violently due to the waves, and Lin's stomach and abdomen surged with strong "turbulence" again.
The "turbulence" this time was not a trivial matter. Lin, who could no longer walk while vomiting like before, could only lean to the side and lean against the wall of the ship to rest temporarily.
After taking several deep breaths and swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva, Lin finally felt a little better.
Okay... hurry up and take advantage...
"Hey! Who are you! What are you doing here?!"
A sudden roar came from behind Lin, causing Lin's pupils to shrink suddenly.
She turned her head and looked behind her, where she saw three musketeers pointing their flintlock rifles at her.
As if facing a formidable enemy, these three people pointed their guns at Lin and slowly walked towards her while continuing to shout angrily:
"Throw away all the muskets you are carrying! Then lie down on the ground and don't move!"
Tsk…
The corners of Lin's mouth were slightly lowered due to her bad mood. After visually checking the distance between herself and the three people, she followed the orders of the three people and handed over the flintlock gun she was carrying and the brocade box under her arm.
Throw it away.
Immediately afterwards...
"woo woo woo woo……!"
Linta pulled the corners of her mouth, bit her lower lip lightly with her upper teeth, sniffed hard, knelt down on the ground, and started sobbing.
"No, don't be mean to me...this...these iron cannons were asked by my father to keep for him...wuwuwu...!"
Lin, who had a lovely blush on her eyes and nose, raised her hands and wiped the tears that overflowed from her eyes with the backs of her hands.
Although Lin is 20 years old this year, due to her petite figure and her appearance, she still looks very young. From her appearance alone, absolutely everyone will mistakenly think that she is only 13 years old.
, a 4-year-old little girl.
On the ship, I suddenly encountered a little girl carrying three muskets. After asking her to put down the muskets and lie down on the ground, the little girl immediately threw away the weapons and whispered "Don't hurt me" while standing there.
The overly complicated scene was beyond the understanding of these three musketeers...
Under the influence of doubts and...the inexplicable protective desire caused by seeing such a young girl crying, the three musketeers couldn't help but look at each other.
The man standing in the middle cast doubtful glances at his companion on the right.
And just when he turned his attention to his companions
call!
From the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing directly in front of him.
He quickly turned his attention back to himself and saw that the hard butt of the gun had hit him right in the face.
The bridge of his nose was broken, and more than a dozen teeth were either broken or knocked out. The man passed out instantly.
First kill!
Now Lin no longer looks like the "poor little loli" she was just now.
Her face now only had the look that a swordsman should have.
Lin first used her little lolita attitude to confuse the enemy, and then suddenly became violent, catching the three of them off guard.
After killing the man in the middle with the butt of her rifle, Lin immediately jumped to the left and hugged the hands of the musketeer on her left.
She didn't use this simple method to control this person.
Instead, he wanted to "borrow a gun to kill someone."
The moment she hugged the man's hands, Lin immediately controlled the gun in the man's hand, pointed the gun at the other gunman, and then pulled the trigger.
boom!
Double kill!
After successfully "borrowing a gun to kill", Lin let go of the man's hands and used her left foot as a pivot to perform a sharp "turn and side kick". Her back heel hit the man who had just "helped" her kill an enemy.
The throat of the "tool man".
Three kills!
It only took Lin less than 5 seconds to go from the sudden outburst to quickly dealing with these three people.
The speed was so fast that these three people may not even know what happened until they were killed.
"Ha... Ha... Ha... Fortunately, Kuro and the others are not here... If they saw what I looked like just now... I would not live..."
Lin clutched her belly, which was a little uncomfortable due to the strenuous activity just now, and stumbled quickly towards the brocade box and musket she had just discarded.
But at this moment...
"Miss Lin! Please don't move!"
Another loud shout sounded from behind Lin.
However... what was different from before was that this big shout this time was... very familiar to Lin.
After Lin was stunned for a moment, she slowly turned around with a calm face and looked at someone standing not far behind her, pointing a flintlock gun at her...
"...Hmph." Lin sneered, "It's really no surprise to see you in this place..."
…
…
Huluwan, on the open deck
The weather that Mamiya hates the most is rainy days and snowy days.
Because this kind of weather is really unfriendly to a four-eyed boy like him.
With his vision blurred by the raindrops on his lenses, after knocking down an enemy with a spear in front of him, Mamiya heard familiar footsteps coming from behind him.
Along with this familiar footsteps came the familiar heroic voice:
"Mamiya, are you okay now?"
As he finished speaking, Mamiya felt something generous pressing against his back.
He turned his head and looked back at Yuan Yi, who was running toward him just now, back to back with him.
Even though they were back to back, Mamiya could feel Genichi watching him from the corner of his eye.
"To be honest, it's not good. I'm so tired that I want to take a nap quickly." Mamiya panted heavily while letting out a self-deprecating laugh.
Physical strength is Mamiya's only weakness besides eyesight.
Carrying a wooden plank and crossing a sea with such rough waves can be said to be a difficult challenge for Mamiya, whose physical strength has always been a weakness.
Even now, even after boarding the ship for so long, Mamiya's breathing is still messy.
"Do you want to rest for a while now?" Yuan Yi asked.
"It doesn't matter what happens to me." Mamiya wiped the raindrops from his face, "Instead of talking about my body here, it's better to seize the time and think about what to do next."
"We have basically searched all the cabins of this ship, and we can't find our lord at all."
"It seems that the master is probably on another ship."
"Yes." Yuan Yi said softly, "Next... we have to rush to another ship."
"Do we have to go swimming again..." Mamiya gave a rare helpless smile.
At this time, Yuan Yi stopped looking at Mamiya out of the corner of his eye.
Instead, he turned his head and looked straight at Mamiya.
"...Mamiya, please don't force yourself."
"If your body is really too tired to cross the sea again, you can stay on this ship."
"...Ahhh." The helpless smile on Mamiya's face slowly turned into a bitter smile, "This is the first time I hate my body so much that no matter how hard I exercise, I can't improve my physical strength..."
Boom!!
At this time, the thunder in the sky suddenly cut the sky.
The bright thunder made the world under the clouds look like daylight for a moment.
Because the thunder and lightning this time was so violent and loud, even Mamiya couldn't help but subconsciously look up at the sky.
And just when he raised his eyes to look at the sky
"Um?"
Mamiya suddenly noticed...the main mast of a towering object that reached straight into the sky.
"..." The thoughtful Mamiya stared straight at the towering mainmast. After a moment, he turned his head and glanced at Nikki Maru, which was only a few dozen meters away from Gyokumaru.
"...Master Gendai."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Mamiya tightly held Vairocana in his hand.
"Do you think...I can truly surpass my father?"
