Yoshioka's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Miyamoto, and he gritted his teeth, it seemed that it was not possible to kill him without paying some price.

I saw Miyamoto Musashi shuttling like a butterfly in the sword forest and sword rain, and suddenly the sword in his hand slashed towards Yoshioka at an extremely strange angle.

Yoshioka didn't notice anything wrong, and was about to meet him with a sword, when suddenly a dazzling light reflected off Miyamoto Musashi's sword.

Yoshioka only felt a flower in front of him, and then there was only that piercing blade in his eyes.

Oops!

Yoshioka felt a pang of danger, and the sword in his hand continued to block Miyamoto's sword.

But his body had already retreated quickly, ready to dodge the threat that he didn't know where it would appear.

But his reaction was still a step too late, and Miyamoto's wakicha had already slashed hard at the top of his right arm.

Yoshioka's right arm fell to the ground with a knife attached, making a clanging sound.

"No!"

Seeing this, Yoshioka let out a terrified roar.

Without his right arm, how he wielded the sword, how he became a samurai, and his Yoshioka clan would be completely lost.

Miyamoto Musashi didn't have time to react at all, and even a smile revealing the Buddha's meaning appeared on his face, and then he continued to swing his knife and slash at Yoshioka.

The shiny blade slashed across Yoshioka's neck, and then blood flew to the ground, and a large amount of blood poured out as if he didn't want money.

Yoshioka suddenly noticed that the whole world began to spin, and finally found a headless figure, this person is so familiar.

At this time, Miyamoto Musashi was stabbed twice again, but these were only minor injuries, and they didn't affect his movements, as long as he could kill Yoshioka Matachiro, it was worth it.

Miyamoto Musashi glanced coldly at the martial arts disciples who were stunned by this. Then he said, "Are you going to continue?" ”

"How is this possible? How many tricks did he take from Miyamoto? ”

"How could Yoshioka-sama just die?"

“……”

Seeing Yoshioka's death, those martial arts disciples had different expressions.

Some are grief-stricken, some are in disbelief.

"Yaga! You dare to kill Yoshioka-sama, I want to avenge him! ”

An excited martial arts disciple roared, and after speaking, he slashed at Miyamoto Musashi with his sword.

Miyamoto Musashi sneered. Then he fought with him, and killed this disciple in a few moves.

However, some of his disciples also killed Miyamoto Musashi under his leadership, and they were connected with the honor and disgrace of the Yoshioka family, and Yoshioka's death undoubtedly made them feel humiliated.

But there are also some martial arts disciples who have retreated, and they are only here to learn the arts, not the courtiers of the Yoshioka family.

And bullying less in a duel would have violated their philosophy in the first place. They were only pleaded with by Yoshioka to do such a thing that violated the morality of the samurai.

Now that Yoshioka was dead, they couldn't do it for a dead man, so some of them retreated.

Seeing this, Miyamoto Musashi finally let go of his thoughts, as long as not all the people came together to besiege him. Then he won't be afraid.

So Miyamoto Musashi and some of the martial arts disciples fought again, and about a quarter of an hour later, the corpses were already piled up next to the big pine tree.

The entire scene was littered with stumps and severed arms, and red blood flowed everywhere, like Shura's hell.

At this time, Miyamoto Musashi was already covered with wounds, and a large amount of blood kept flowing down from his body.

But Miyamoto Musashi's face was full of smiles, and he patted the big pine tree with a look of rejoicing, if it weren't for the enemies behind him. Maybe he'll get more serious injuries.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

I don't know when, there was a round of applause.

Miyamoto Musashi looked up and saw a young samurai walking this way.

A smile tucked into his mouth. His demeanor was natural, and he turned a blind eye to this bloody scene, and it was obvious that he was also a person who was used to killing.

"Miyamoto Musashi is really worthy of his reputation, and he can kill a hundred people with the power of one person, which can be described as a veritable hundred people beheading."

The young man said with a smile on his face.

Although the young man did not show hostility, Miyamoto Musashi still asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" Why did you come here? ”

"In Shimoyanagi Hyogosuke. I heard that Miyamoto Musashi planned to fight the Yoshioka clan again, so I came to watch. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of good show. ”

Yanagi Hyogo suke said.

Miyamoto Musashi was a little surprised.

"You are the Yanagi Hyogo Suke of the Yagyu family, the nephew of Lord Yagyu Soju?"

"That's right. I'm Yagyu Hyogosuke, but I'm me, so please don't keep mentioning my elder's name. ”

Yanagi Hyogosuke said with some boredom that he didn't like to live in the shadow of his elders at all.

Miyamoto Musashi straightened his bloodstained clothes, and then bowed respectfully to Yanagi Hyogosuke.

"Lord Yanagi Zongju's swordsmanship is famous all over the world, and I will definitely go and ask for advice if I have time."

Hearing this, Yanagi Hyogosuke couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Isn't asking for advice a challenge? I'm afraid that Yagyu Muneki may not be willing to accept Miyamoto Musashi's challenge.

He didn't want to mention these things, so he said with a straight face: "I actually have something important to discuss this time, you should know something about the war between my country and the Ming Dynasty." ”

Miyamoto Musashi nodded.

"I hope you can join the shogunate's army, and now that the shogun is in the time of employing people, it will definitely be of great use to talents like you."

Yanagi Hyogo suke said.

Ostensibly, he was a martial artist who practiced everywhere, but in fact he was tasked with monitoring the daimyo at the behest of the shogunate.

This time it was the outbreak of war, and Yanagi Soju recruited him back for a special mission.

Unexpectedly, I happened to run into a duel between Miyamoto Musashi and the Yoshioka family.

So he had an idea and invited Miyamoto Musashi on behalf of the shogunate.

Miyamoto Musashi hesitated for a moment, but finally he shook his head.

"I'm very humble, I once owed a lot of favors to the Hosokawa family. I will join the rebellion against the Ming army, but I am afraid that I will join the army of the Hosokawa clan. ”

Hearing this, Yanagi Hyogosuke was disappointed and a little annoyed at the same time.

Those daimyos' hands are really long enough. I don't know how many wandering samurai they secretly recruited.

But since Miyamoto Musashi had clearly refused, he was embarrassed to say anything, so he could only say helplessly: "Since this is the case, it is really a pity." I believe that we will meet again in the near future, and I am afraid that it will be on the battlefield against the Ming army at that time. ”

Miyamoto Musashi also smiled slightly. "Then we'll see you on the battlefield."

***

After the capture of Tsushima Island, Lü Yan's navy and the Japanese navy fought several fierce battles.

Tsushima Island is the domain of the Matsuura clan of Hizen Province, and the Matsuura clan had previously strongly supported the Wako, and his territory of Hirado Island was a famous free port of the Wa country, so the Matsuura clan's naval army was also very powerful in the Wa country.

But the Matsuura family alone was simply powerless to fight against the Ming Dynasty's sailors, so it was under the orders of Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The entire Kyushu and Shikoku naval armies were mobilized. There were several fierce battles around Tsushima.

But in the face of the Ming army with strong ships and sharp guns, the Wa State was certainly not an opponent.

The Ming army defeated the Japanese navy with heavy losses, and in the face of this situation, the Japanese navy had to retreat in the port and did not dare to come out.

But the Ming army would not let them go, and they not only pursued them to Hakata Bay. It also bombarded Fukuoka, causing a great shock to the entire Wakoku.

After almost annihilating the naval forces of Kyushu and Shikoku, Lü Yan's naval army gathered again, and then captured Hirado Island, and almost all of Kyushu opened its doors to them.

In this situation, Lu Yan came to Jeju Island with a large mixed fleet of military and civilians.

For the sake of this war, Lu Yan really took out all his old books.

The money in the treasury was spent like flowing water. Many ships in the south of the Yangtze River were hired by him to transport various materials, and he spent millions of taels of silver in a few months, which made Lu Yan feel very distressed.

No wonder the ancients said that if you are warlike, you will die. It's really honest and don't deceive me.

But as long as you can conquer the Wa Kingdom, then it's all worth it.

The Wa Kingdom has the richest silver mines in the world, plus the huge amount of silver accumulated by the Wa people over the years.

Once he takes the Wa Kingdom, then for at least twenty years, Lu Yan will not have to worry about financial shortcomings, and he will fight whoever he wants when the time comes.

He was accompanied by 3,000 Mongolian cavalry and 30,000 Yuejia troops. Three thousand guards armed with rifled rifles.

Lu Bu, Zhang Xian and other generals also accompanied him, in addition to adding famous generals such as Tuo Lei and Subutai.

Needless to say, tow mines. One of the most talented of Temujin's descendants, the legendary An Answer of Guo Jing.

In Lu Yan's plan. He will lead the entire Mongol clan.

The one-eyed dragon Subutai is also the most powerful general of the Mengyuan Empire, if Jebe is a fierce general, then Subutai is a wise general.

The West describes him as ruthless, cunning as a fox, and has made great achievements in the Western Expedition.

In terms of the military talent of the leader alone, Subutai is even above Jebe.

After arriving on Jeju Island, only Li Rusong came to welcome him, because the others were either fighting with the Japanese navy or stationed on Hirado Island.

After an expedition to Hirado Island, they agreed that an attack on Kyushu from Hirado would be a good option.

It's so close to Kyushu that you can land on a bamboo raft.

"In that case, let's attack Kyushu from Hirado Island."

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

He is also a good follower, and he believes that these famous generals will not be blind.

After saying this, Li Rusong gave a briefing on the situation of the Wa Kingdom.

Li Dan had some Japanese subordinates, so he sent some loyal Japanese back to be spies.

It turned out that a large number of Japanese ** teams had gathered throughout Kyushu, mainly in the most important ports along the coast.

Although the number is not clear, it is estimated to be at least around 200,000.

This amount made Lu Yan feel staggered, he really deserved to be a little devil, and the ability of the rioters was strong.

In addition, the news that came back yesterday was that Hirado Island had discovered some rather bad things, that is, some dead soldiers sent by the Japanese kingdom tried to burn their grain, but fortunately they found out, and in the end they did not succeed.

On top of that, the dead men wreaked havoc in all sorts of ways, sometimes diving into the docks to scuttle the bottom of the ships, and one of the Western warships was almost scuttled.

They also threw dead animal carcasses into rivers and wells on Hirado Island.

As a result, some soldiers and Japanese civilians had diarrhea after drinking water, and it is estimated that a number of people have died by now.

This made Lu Yan's face full of gloom, it was really unfavorable.

"How did they handle this?"

Lu Yan asked.

"The two lords have ordered soldiers to be placed around the wells where the soldiers drink, and the civilians of the Japanese country are forbidden to approach. At the same time, the civilians of the Japanese state were fabricated and some unidentified people were discovered. ”

"Lord Chen sent people to interrogate these people, but some of them were extremely stubborn, and no matter how severe they tortured, they did not confess, and some of them even had poison in their mouths and committed suicide the moment they were arrested. Later, according to Li Dan's report, they were likely to be ninjas of the Wa Kingdom. ”

"Ninja?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but be surprised.

In later generations, when it comes to ninjas, everyone knows about them, and a Naruto introduces Japanese ninjas to the world.

Of course, the real ninja is definitely not as powerful as it is said in the comics, and it is easy to destroy the village and destroy the country, but there is definitely ninjutsu.

Moreover, in the Warring States Period, it was the peak period of Japanese ninjutsu, and many ninjutsu in later generations were basically lost. (To be continued)
