Chapter 554: Miko Orishi
The sea is the most fickle, devouring everything when it is furious, and supple as silk when it is calm. At noon, the three-bowed, three-masted and twelve-sailed ship was heading south on the silky sea, with a triangular red sun flag fluttering on its bow. Several sharks followed the sailboat for a long time, and the daunting dark dorsal fin occasionally appeared in the water.
Normally, predators only chase so persistently when they find something tasty.
At this time, the big ship in the middle was indeed filled with the usual strong smell of blood, and blood was seeping down the cracks in the deck. Two men dressed in Ming army uniforms fell in a pool of blood, one of them was in a different place, and the other was cut in two, and his colorful intestines and stomach organs flowed to the ground.
In the field, a tall woman stood proudly with a Japanese sword in both hands, wearing a Japanese kimono, stepping on a pair of clogs, and her long hair was tied back casually.
All around, a group of men with half-moon hairstyles were chattering and croaking, and although they didn't understand what they meant, it was clear from the fanatical expressions of these guys that they were praising the high martial arts of the women in kimonos.
At this time, there were three Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets in the field, they held the waist knives of the Ming Dynasty, and they were nervously close together, obviously three men with stronger bodies than women in kimonos, but they felt more like three lambs exposed in front of the wolf's teeth.
The sword in the hands of the kimono woman is very long, and it is estimated that it can reach the neck position of her own height, and the shiny and slender blade is cold and intimidating. At this time, the woman slowly erected her sword, made a lunge forward and backward with her feet, and said coldly in slightly stiff Chinese: "Come, fight like a man, defeat me and release you!" ”
In the face of the insulting provocation of the kimono woman, the three military men cowered and did not dare to move forward, and in the past few days, they have watched their companions die tragically under the swords of the kimono woman one after another, and the three military men have completely lost their courage.
It is said that these three soldiers are all soldiers of Shandong Lingshanwei, when chasing a group of robbing and looting in the jurisdiction, they accidentally fell into an ambush, and the entire team of 100 households was almost wiped out, and the main and deputy 100 households were all killed, and 15 Ming troops, including the general, were captured.
Fifteen Ming soldiers were captured, and they did not ask for ransom or force them to work as coolies, but let them practice with this Japanese woman named Orishimiko every day, and in just three days, three of the fifteen Ming soldiers remained, and the rest became the soul of this woman's sword.
It is said that this Orishin Miko is the rising star of the Japanese daimyo (warlord) Orishin family, although it is a daughter, but the martial arts and strategies are quite outstanding, so it is highly valued by the family, and his father Orishin Tian Naga is the current head of the Orishin family, the guardian (general) of Owari Country.
Orishin Miko admires Han culture, and has studied with a monk who crossed from the Ming Dynasty since she was a child, so she is very fluent in Chinese, and is familiar with the art of war.
Originally, it was Orishin Yokoji who led the fleet to cross the Ming Dynasty this time, but before leaving, Orishin Yokoji was seriously ill, and Orishin Miko volunteered to lead the team to Daming to do "business", and several elders of the family agreed after discussing with the head of the family.
After the second dragon raised its head in early February, Orishibumiko led two large ships with great ambition, a total of more than 300 people, and set off for Daming in a mighty manner.
As mentioned earlier, the Wa Kingdom was currently in the Warring States Period, with local warlords fighting with each other, and materials were extremely scarce, so they could only import from the rich Ming Dynasty. The Orishin family of Owari Province was no exception, so like other Japanese daimyos, they organized caravans to the Ming coast to do "business".
Because the Ming Dynasty is now strictly forbidden to the sea, the so-called "business" of the Japanese merchants is nothing more than smuggling and looting.
In the process of crossing from Japan to the west, Orinobu Miko relied on her strength to rob two groups of peers, not only obtained a large amount of goods, but also incorporated a three-masted ship, so now she has a three-bow ship, and the number of troops has reached 500.
About ten days earlier, the fleet had deviated from its original course due to the direction of the wind and had been carried by the ocean currents to the coast of Shandong.
Hearing that hundreds of Japanese were coming, the commander of the Lingshan Guard, who was guarding the left side, was almost not frightened, and closed the door of the village and did not come out until he heard that the Japanese were about to leave after plundering, and then bluffed and chased out. Originally, he was just going to make a show to avoid being held accountable by the superiors, but who knew that he was ambushed by the Japanese invaders, and thousands of people were chased all over the mountain by hundreds of Japanese invaders, and one of the hundred households was almost wiped out.
The battle of the Ming army was so scum, which made Orinobu Miko surprised and delighted, and plundered more unscrupulously for two days, and then led the fleet to continue south, after all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the richest places in the Ming Dynasty, and Shandong is too far away in comparison.
Along the way, Orishimiko did not order anyone to plunder on the shore, after all, one bite can't make a fat man. There is an old saying among the Han people that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, so Orinobumiko feels that it is necessary for the samurai under her command to recuperate and regain strength.
Orishin Miko recuperated her samurai, but she herself was an extremely energetic woman, who used Ming prisoners to practice swords every day, and now, only these three were left of the fifteen Ming prisoners.
Seeing that the three Ming soldiers were still cowering under their own insulting provocations, Ori Shin Miko couldn't help but say contemptuously: "I heard that your emperor likes to use eunuchs to serve him, in my opinion, you Ming officers and soldiers should be castrated, and then go to the palace to serve your emperor!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Japanese robbers all laughed proudly, and some even kicked the head of the Ming soldiers who were in different places and flew into the sea.
Although the three Ming soldiers did not have the consciousness of "the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death", how can they not be angry when they are insulted to such an extent, their faces are swollen and red, and the burning anger in their chests makes them forget their fear.
"The stinky woman from the Japanese country, I grass your grandma!" The thinnest Ming army was the first to erupt, rushing forward and slashing out.
Weaving Shin Miko was not surprised and rejoiced, facing the Ming army is a slash obliquely, like a horse practice poured down, only to hear a ding, the waist knife in the hand of the Ming army was broken in response, and blood splashed out from the neck of the Ming army like a fountain.
It turned out that Orishin Miko's knife not only cut off the waist knife, but also removed the neck and half of the arms of the Ming army.
Originally, the quality of the Ming army's waist knife was not so bad, it was really a waste of local guards, and the quality of the waist knife was far inferior to that of the Beijing army.
"Ah...... I'm going to kill you, a girl of the country! Another Ming soldier roared and rushed over, his sword raised above his head, as if he wanted to split Orinobumiko on both sides.
A trace of contempt flashed in Orishin Miko's eyes, and the more than one-meter-long sword pointed straight forward, and the Ming army was instantly stabbed in the heart, and his body immediately froze, staring at Orishin Miko with angry eyes, and suddenly grinned strangely and said: "Lao Tzu let you taste what a man is." ”
Ori Shin Miko immediately felt that something was wrong and was anxious to draw the knife, but the Ming army miraculously rushed two steps, his body was almost full of the handle of the sword, and he opened his hands and hugged Ori Shin Miko.
"Yikes!" The third Ming army took the opportunity to pounce on him, and slashed out with a knife, it seemed that he was going to cut off the head of his comrade and the head of Ori Shin Miko at the same time, because the two were about the same height, and they hugged each other at this time, and there were exactly two heads when they went down with a knife.
"Yaga!"
"Miko-san!"
A group of Japanese warriors screamed in surprise, and a middle-aged samurai rushed forward to help, but it was obviously too late.
I saw blood splashing, but no head flew up, but the third Ming army froze, and the waist knife in his hand fell to the deck with a clatter. It turned out that Ori Shin Miko actually held the Ming army who was pierced by the Japanese sword, and took the lead in hitting the third Ming army, and the sharp Japanese knife instantly pierced the third Ming army.
There was silence for a moment, and then a loud cheer rang out, and the middle-aged samurai, who was about to come to the rescue, let go of the handle of his sword and smiled in satisfaction.
Ori Shin Miko calmly drew her sword, and the corpses of the two Ming soldiers overlapped and fell to the ground with a bang.
"These two don't have to be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, find an island nearby and bury them!" Orinobumiko sheathed her sword, bowed to the two corpses, turned and headed for the cabin.
All the Japanese knew that Miss Miko was clean, and at this time she was covered in blood, and it was estimated that she was going to take a bath, and several young samurai couldn't help but look eagerly at the cabin.
