I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Here we come..."

Seeing that the generals of the shogunate finally broke in, Ogata, who was standing in the middle of the three, raised his left hand holding the saber, raised the saber in his left hand to his chest, and then slowly drew the saber out. sheath.

The cold light reflected from the unsheathed sharp blade, while bringing some light to this dim corridor, also illuminated Ogata's face.

Seeing Ogata draw his sword, the generals of the shogunate army in front all threw away the spears in their hands nervously, and pulled out the swords around their waists.

They are all elites in the army, so even without the commander's order, they know that the long gun is not easy to use in such a narrow corridor. Not only is it extremely difficult to use it well, but it is also easy to accidentally injure friendly troops.

Therefore, there was no need for an order from the commander, and they all changed their weapons very consciously.

The officer who was frightened by the "steel forest" in front of him finally came to his senses at this moment, swung the knife in his hand violently, and shouted: "Kill!"

Following the officer's order, the soldiers behind him shouted, raised their knives high, and killed the three of them towards Ogata!

However—even though the shogunate army had already launched a charge, the three of Ogata still showed an unhurried appearance.

Mamiya, who didn't even draw his sword, even asked Ogata and Mucun beside him in a half-joking tone:

"Want to compare to see who killed more people?"

"I don't want it." After replying to Gamiya in such an annoyed tone, Ogata raised his sword and walked slowly towards the shogunate army who was coming towards him in front of him.

The swordsmanship practiced by the soldiers of the shogunate army is not a school or school of swordsmanship, but a swordsmanship passed down from generation to generation in the army.

The army is an organization whose main task is to plunder life, and the swordsmanship they teach is naturally not a "no-kill sword" that pursues "no-kill" for self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

Instead, it goes straight to the vitals of others and pursues the "killing sword" that kills people efficiently.

There are not too many fancy sword skills, and every move and style is very ordinary.

But these seemingly ordinary sword skills are deadly.

Of course—not all soldiers use swordsmanship in the army.

Just like the soldier in front of Oku.

At this moment, the soldier who was facing Ogata, just from the way he held the knife, Ogata recognized at a glance that the sword technique used by this soldier was still a familiar sword technique for him - Katori Shinto style.

The moment after the breath was switched to "Original Breath", the sword of the soldier who used the Katori Shinto style also happened to strike at Ogata's head with tremendous power.

This kind of battle with one enemy and many, Ogata also fought too much.

All played experience.

For this kind of one-to-many battle, Ogata summed up a lot of valuable experience.

One of them is - if you can't take other people's swords, don't take other people's swords.

Taking other people's knives hard will not only cause great damage to the knives in your hands, but also greatly affect your own physical strength, which is not conducive to your long-term combat.

After making a wrong step and using a step to avoid the soldier's attack, Ogata raised the sword in his hand, aimed at the soldier's throat, and stabbed at him without any hesitation.

The familiar feeling of the sharp blade piercing through the flesh and piercing the bone spread along the handle to the palm of the hand.

Before he had time to retract the saber, a soldier beside Ogata shouted while stabbing Ogata with the saber in his hand high.

After noticing the soldier's location and the attack from the corner of his eye, Ogata let go of the handle of the knife without any hesitation, and directly gave up the knife that was too late to draw.

With a short body, he dodged the soldier's stabbing attack, and then pulled out the wakizaru that happened to be inserted at his feet, and with all his strength, he aimed a bird stab at the soldier's abdomen.

A violent shock force made Ogata's hands and palms slightly numb.

After exerting all his strength and paying the price of directly breaking the tip of the wakizashi knife in his hand, he finally managed to pierce the soldier's armor and stab into his abdomen.

It's a pity - because of the protection of the armor, although it successfully pierced his abdomen, it still couldn't penetrate deeply.

Failing to inflict a fatal wound on the soldier, Ogata once again discarded the sword without hesitation, pulled out the knife stuck in the wall next to him, and slashed the soldier's face with a "falling water", giving him another knife.

After moving the ten fingers of his hands that were still slightly numb due to the shock force just now, Ogata thought to himself:

——To deal with this kind of armor-wearing enemies, it is still necessary to cut less where they are protected by armor...

When Ogata had already started killing, Jiangong and Mucun were not far behind Ogata.

After cutting the throat of a soldier in front of him with a horizontal slash, the knife in Mucun's hand remained undiminished, and he slashed heavily on the wall next to him.

"Tsk..."

While shaking the knife in his hand, Mucun muttered, "It's really hard to use the knife..."

Makimura is good at using Odachi.

And the knife technique he uses is a self-created knife technique, which he calls "Wo Liu knife technique".

The "Wo Liu Dao Technique" created by him is characterized by wide opening and closing.

His sword technique, coupled with his height and his Odachi, can exert great power in a wide area.

However—in such a narrow corridor, it is greatly restricted.

The Odachi with astonishing length is destined to be the same as a long spear in this not spacious environment. It is extremely difficult to exert its due power, and at the same time it is easy to accidentally injure his own people, so Mucun can only carry his Odachi on his back On the ground, reluctantly use the Da Dao to meet the enemy.

Because Mucun's knife technique is wide open and closed, he frequently cuts to the walls on both sides, or to the ceiling above his head.

It's just that—although Mucun's body frequently appeared flawed because of his sword skills, none of the soldiers could hurt Mucun.

Although Makimura is tall, he is not bulky.

Even if there are frequent loopholes, Mucun can always rely on his extraordinary agility to quickly adjust his posture, preventing the shogunate army from having any chance of hurting him.

At the same time—because of Mucun's arm length, it was extremely difficult for the shogunate army to get close to Mucun.

My own knife has not yet been able to cut Mucun, but Mucun's knife has already been able to cut them.

Because the three of them have different sword techniques, the number of enemies they have slashed so far is also different.

Mamiya is currently the one who kills the most enemies among the three, slightly more than Ogata.

There is no other reason - one of the characteristics of Gamiya's sword technique is speed.

The knife is as fast as lightning, and at the same time, the precision of the knife is suffocating.

"Oh oh oh oh!" A soldier with a loud voice yelled and rushed towards the palace.

Mamiya watched the soldier rushing towards him with great interest, then slowly retracted the bloody knife in his hand into its sheath, spread his feet leisurely, stood still, and then turned his side, Lowering the center of gravity of the body, the right hand rests naturally on the handle of the knife hanging on the left waist.

Mamiya and the soldier only fought one round.

Before and after rushing to Jiangong, a silent sword light swept across his neck, and then the soldier suddenly seemed to lose his strength, slowly slowed down, and then fell heavily on the ground.

Gamiya maintains the posture of drawing the sword, and the soldier who has fallen to the ground also maintains the posture of rushing forward - but his head has fallen off, leaving only a thin layer of skin and flesh connected.
