Chapter 397: A knife that may come only once in a lifetime
thump--
Zuo Cun took He He with him, and after cutting open the cannonballs, he got directly into the sea.
Payton and the people on the British warship were lying on the edge of the deck, looking down, looking for Zuo Cun.
Zuocun's legs swung rapidly in the water.
If the direction is correct, we are almost there!
Saw it!
A huge black shadow appeared in front of Zuo Cun.
"Now! Bombard Peyton's ship!" the captain of the warship ordered, "Don't pay attention to the man at the bottom of the water. He hasn't come up for five minutes. He will probably drown in a while. Now -"
Wow——————
Zheng——
A figure rushed up from the bottom of the sea and split the captain who was giving the order in half from bottom to top.
By the way, a knife mark also appeared on the side of the hull.
"Really..." Zuo Cun stood on the deck of the warship, not paying attention to the fear and incredible eyes around him, and said to himself, "Under the water, even if you go all out, you can only jump out
Is the water surface about ten meters away..."
He was breathing heavily, obviously spending a lot of energy.
"Kill - kill him!" A crew member picked up a gun and pointed it at Zuo Cun, as if he wanted to avenge his boss.
Zuo Cun spit out a mouthful of sea water and jumped up.
Bang——
The bullet did not hit Zuo Cun at all.
"Up there!"
"Quick, shoot quickly!"
A commotion has begun on the deck.
"Although Satsuma has a good relationship with you, if we let you leave today, it will probably cause a lot of trouble for our plan, so——"
Zuo Cun fell to the ground freely and dodged the bullets fired at him.
Holding his breath and concentrating, he stepped on the deck and jumped up again.
"I can't let you leave."
"Since you have already gone all out, let's go a little further!!!"
At this moment, the crashing waves made the crew of the warship a little unsteady.
Zuo Cun took this opportunity and closed his eyes.
He stopped in mid-air.
Open your arms and hold the crane in your right hand.
The air around Zuocun was slightly shaken.
"New Yulun——"
"One of the other wings!"
The blood vessels all over his body were bulging, and Zuo Cun's eyes looked at the entire hull.
Holding the crane with both hands, Zuocun's body was like thunder - hitting the warship.
"Crane——stay——————!!!!!"
Buzz——
Click——!
boom------
The slash of the famous sword fell on the warship.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Zheng——!!!
The warship was cut in half by Zuo Cun from the middle!
Payton stood on his deck, his jaw dropped to the ground.
"f**k!"
He shouted this word, his legs became weak, and he sat directly on the deck.
What did he see?
Is this really something humans can do?
Am I still in a dream?
Zuocun was breathing violently, and his heart was almost beating out of his chest.
The warship he cut in half had begun to sink, and it was sinking very quickly.
He pulled over a wooden barrel and lay on it, his body already turning red.
"Ahem, it looks like you did something pretty good." There were drops of sweat on Zuo Cun's forehead, but there was a smile on his face.
He waved to Peyton's boat.
"Hurry! Drive the boat over quickly!" Payton saw Zuo Cun waving his hands and ordered quickly.
"yes!"
After a while, Zuocun grabbed the rope and looked towards the sea.
The warship had completely disappeared on the sea, leaving only some fragmentary items and a few sailors who luckily did not sink with it, lying on some logs.
Payton's sailors hurriedly took guns and killed all the surviving sailors and soldiers.
Zuo Cun sighed and climbed up.
As long as he doesn't tell anyone, no one will ever know about it.
As for the possible presence of spies on Payton's ship - let him handle it himself, Payton is not a soft-hearted person.
...
"I heard that you did something big at sea." Ryoma was lying on the table writing something, while Samura was lying on the tatami, looking very tired.
"Yeah...it's impossible to do something big for the second time in this life." Zuomura didn't hide it from Ryoma, but he wanted to take a nap now.
Heliu tried his best, but this was the first time he used it, and of course it might be the last time.
"So how did you cut the warship apart? Miss Aaron may not be able to do it as fast as you." Ryoma looked at his best friend who was as strong as a monster with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"I won't be able to use that knife a second time in my life, really."
Because he was tired, Zuo Cun seemed to feel much more relaxed.
"After all, no one will let me stay in the air for such a long time, so that I can accumulate strength, and there will be waves as cover." Zuo Cun thought about the knife and couldn't help but smile, like a child.
"...I understand, you'd better take a nap, that knife must have consumed a lot of energy." Ryoma smiled and shook his head, "When you wake up, it's almost time to have dinner.
"
"Did Aaron cook dinner?"
"Miss Aaron and Yi Zang, don't you know, Yi Zang can also cook." Ryoma buried his head in writing.
"I'm really not sure about this..." Zuo Cun muttered, he was in a particularly good mood, "I'm not in a hurry to go to bed. When will Takasugi come over to get the gun?"
"If Takasugi doesn't come, Gui will arrive tomorrow."
"That's good... when these weapons are in place... it's time for us to really show off our capabilities." He looked at the ceiling with emotion.
"Yeah..." Ryoma also sighed.
"The new era ushered in does not belong to the shogunate."
...
The New Year passed before I knew it.
What happened this year is amazing.
But for the "Alliance of Four", the story has just begun.
January 11th.
Except for Sakamoto Ryoma who was hiding behind the scenes, the other three members of the Four-person Alliance - Takasugi Shinsaku, Katsura Kogoro, and Samura Anno - gathered in a city in the Choshu Domain.
"Now, everything is ready." Katsura Kogoro said seriously, "Next, it's time to take action."
Because he was not present during the Ikedaya incident, because his voice was weak during the Forbidden Gate Incident, and because he later ran away to Satsuma during the shogunate's liquidation, he was ridiculed by others as the "escaped Kogoro".
But from today onwards, this nickname will disappear along with the power.
"Ahem." Takasugi Shinsaku coughed a little. He pinched the piece of cloth and covered his mouth and nose.
"We will take action on the 14th." His eyes were sharp, "I will make a notice in the next two days."
"At that time, all the samurai and ronin attached to my 'detachments', as well as the four thousand modern troops equipped with guns and ammunition, will all act together."
"Zuocun, you follow me, the two of us will go directly to the feudal hall."
"Changzhou Domain - it will be our base from now on!"
Takasugi Shinsaku's eyes reflected fire, as did Samura and Katsura.
