Sakura, Yagyu Dojo in Kyoto.

The famous Sword Saint Yanagi Somasa is now standing in the center of his dojo.

Standing beside Yagyu Somasa were ten disciples of the dojo, but these disciples were not holding bamboo knives in their hands, but Kewen repeating spears forged by the Ainlan Empire!

The ten disciples surrounded Yanagi Zongzheng in the center, raised the repeating pistol in their hands and aimed the muzzle at the sword master.

"Master! It's too risky! ”

Yanagi Shunai, a personal disciple under the main gate of the Yanagi Sect and the eldest daughter under his knees, knelt on the side of the dojo and couldn't help but shout.

"What is there to fear about the weapons of Westerners, Twilight is looking at it quietly!"

Yagyu Somasa held his love knife 'Spider Ghost' with both hands and put on a ruthless posture.

However, his eldest daughter, Yanagi Twilight, was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she glanced at the Western arms dealer sitting next to her with questioning eyes.

This arms dealer from the Ainland Empire is called Miles, and he has been in the arms trade business with Sakura for a long time.

But just yesterday he got drunk and shouted in the street to the passing samurai, "Who still plays with swords these days, it's already the era of cannons, ironclad ships and dragons!" ”

This was so angry that the samurai with the sword almost didn't pull out their swords in the street and cut down the Westerner.

But Miles, he was a firearms trader authorized by the emperor, and he couldn't cut it, but his words completely angered the samurai class in Kyoto, especially Twilight's father... Munemasa Yagyu.

Yagyu Somasa as a pure sword-wielding faction... It is nonsense to think that the emperor thinks that the musket is a weapon that can match the samurai by means of civilians.

Miles' provocation further ignited the resentment of the samurai in the shogunate against the ordinary soldiers who were armed with muskets.

Today, Yanagi Somasa is going to rely on practical actions to tell these Westerners that the idea that a gun can defeat the swordsmanship of a samurai is complete bullshit!

"Shoot! Aim for me! Shoot! ”

Yanagi Somasa's voice resounded throughout the dojo, and the disciples who were holding the repeating pistols couldn't help but tremble slightly, but under the urging of Yagyu Somasa, they still aimed at their master and pulled the trigger.

The muzzle of the Kewen repeater burst out with dazzling sparks, and the bullet was wrapped in a loud bang and instantly shot towards Yagyu Somasa, who was in the center of the dojo.

At the same time, Yanagi Zongzheng waved the 'spider ghost' in his hand, and the spider ghost's vibration streak streaked through the deep silver arc in mid-air, and the sound of steel being cut echoed throughout the dojo.

Several bullets fired at Yagyu Somasa were split in two under the arc light of the spider ghost!

The scattered wreckage of the bullets was deeply embedded in the floor of the dojo, and before the surrounding disciples pulled the trigger of the repeating pistol again, Yanagi Zongzheng held the spider ghost in his hand with his backhand and swung several slashes in a chaotic stance, and the arc of the blade flashed around Yagyu Zongzheng's body.

When he puts the spider-ghost in the scabbard... The barrels of the repeating pistols held by his disciples were all severed, and the muzzles of the guns fell to the ground and turned into scrap metal.

"Good!"

The other Kyoto swordsmen around them all applauded Yagyu Somasa's exquisite swordsmanship.

Only Miles, who came to his senses, looked at the muzzles of the pile of Kirwen repeaters on the ground, and his face was dull.

Yanagi Zongzheng glanced at the Westerner with a cold face, then snorted coldly, and left the dojo with his sleeves.

What does it mean that the times have changed?

As long as the swordsmanship is superb enough, things like foreign guns are just toys in the end!

Yanagi Somasa used practical actions to tell these Westerners that the era of adults has not changed at all, and even if those civilians are well-trained and fully armed with muskets, the samurai can easily cut off their heads with the katana in their hands.

This is the current state of cherry blossoms today!

Yanagi bowed to a stunned Miles before getting up and following his father quickly.

"Master, Father! You shouldn't accept that kind of provocation. Yanagi said in a low voice.

"Twilight, you still have fear in your heart, now that the Western countries are approaching, we shouldn't be afraid of what they have in their hands, whether it's a musket or a dragon!"

Before Yanagi was educating his only daughter, he had not been able to say a word, when there was a sudden commotion on the road outside the dojo.

"What's going on?"

Yanagi Zong walked quickly to the street with a frown, and Yanagi Twilight followed behind him and walked out quickly.

"Ironclad! Three white ironclads have appeared in Kyoto Bay! A civilian who ran by in a panic shouted in horror.

"Those damn Westerners! Isn't the lesson from last time enough! ”

When Yagyu heard the news, he shook the hilt of the spider ghost's sword in his hand and said that he wanted to rush to Kyoto Bay by the sea.

"Father!" Yanagi Twilight had no choice but to follow.

Soon, Yagyu Somasa came to Kyoto Bay and saw the three ironclad ships that the people of Kyoto were afraid of.

Before this, the Western countries had come to Kyoto with ironclad ships, but they were all beaten back by the samurai and kamikaze of the cherry blossoms.

But the three ironclads that came over this time seem to be a little different, first of all, the paint of these three ironclads is pure white, not the black of Westerners.

There are no chimney holes for exhausting steam exhaust gases, and the most important thing is that these three ironclads are much larger than the Westerners before them!

But the samurai who are responsible for protecting Kyoto don't care so much.

"Yanagi-san!"

At Tokyo Bay, a number of samurai had already gathered, and a samurai dressed in light clothes at the head bowed to Yagyu Somasa.

"Matsudaira-san... We met again in Tokyo Bay, so how about we drive the Westerners out of Tokyo Bay together? ”

"Okay, the ship is ready, Yanagi-san, please!"

Matsudaira Oru, a general of the Tokugawa family, has participated in many battles with Yagyu Munemasa, and can be regarded as an old comrade-in-arms who has fought side by side for many years.

The most recent of these alliances was the slaughter of the crew of the ironclad ship that had sailed Westerners into Tokyo Bay a few years earlier.

Matsudaira Ori had already prepared a small boat in Tokyo Bay, which could be as fast as a modern assault boat with the blessing of the wind god in the onmyojutsu.

Most of the ironclad ships are equipped with heavy cannons, and it is very difficult to fight such small units at sea.

So last time, they relied on the mobility of this small boat to jump directly onto the ironclad ship for gang jumping, and directly captured all the Western crew members on the ship with the katana in their hands, and those who dared to resist were directly killed on the spot.

This time is the same, we must make those Westerners understand that they can't capture their Kyoto with ironclad ships!

The gathered group of lightly clothed samurai jumped on these four small boats without hesitation, and they sailed towards the pure white ironclad ship near Kyoto Bay in the distance with the cheers of the people of Kyoto!

At this time, Zhao Chen, who was standing on the destroyer Changning, stared at the small boat in the distance, and it couldn't be said that it was a small boat... The maneuverability of this small boat can catch up with that of an assault boat.

Anyway, I was sitting in four small boats and rushing here quickly... Sakura samurai.

"They're supposed to have a gang jump." Yi Zheng also followed in this rescue plan, and he looked at the four small boats rushing towards here from the middle of Kyoto Bay from a distance, and said, "Be careful, Your Excellency, the samurai in the cherry blossoms, with their cultivation abilities... Probably not afraid of bullets. ”

"No, they're afraid, but they don't realize it."

As Zhao Chen spoke, the 1130 close-in defense artillery system in front of the destroyer suddenly began to operate.

However, before the close-in defense artillery system officially aimed at the target to attack, a warning sounded on the radio of the destroyer Changning.

"We are here for peace, please don't go any closer, repeat that we are here for peace!"

The warning was in their Japanese, but the samurai in the boat didn't seem to hear it, or they didn't want to pay attention to it.

As the boat got closer, the anti-aircraft system finally began to work, and the turn-tube rapid-fire cannon on the anti-aircraft gun began to spin rapidly.

The samurai of this world may be able to chop bullets with their katanas... But!

11 barrels of 30 mm high-speed naval guns, a metal storm with a rate of fire of 166 rounds per second!

You use your katana to chop me off?
