I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Ogata didn't count how many soldiers the three of them had killed.

All he knew was that the group of soldiers who were still alive in front of him had expressions of fear on their faces.

He didn't dare to yell like he did just now, and rush forward with a single-minded swing of his knife.

All crowded together at the other end of the corridor near the gate.

He neither dared to step forward, nor dared to continue to retreat.

After the soldiers of the shogunate army broke through the gate, Ogata noticed the guy dressed as an officer.

The armor worn by that guy is obviously much higher than that of other soldiers.

At the same time, he also wore an extremely conspicuous helmet on his head-there was a horn-like decoration on each side of the helmet.

Dressing like this, it's like saying loudly to Ogata - "Hey, I'm the commander of this gang."

No matter in the previous life or in this life, Ogata has never learned any military strategy.

But Ogata still knows some basic principles of the art of war.

For example-to capture a thief, first capture the king, and to shoot a man first, shoot a horse.

Ogata had his eye on this guy from the very beginning.

It's just that because the number of enemies is relatively large at the beginning, it is still very difficult to break through the layers of human walls.

And now—because many people had fallen to the ground, the wall between Ogata and the officer had become much thinner.

A thought began to ring in Ogata's mind: it's time!

"The palace."

While Ogata softly called the name of Mamiya beside him, he raised the sword in his right hand and placed it on the inner elbow of his left arm with the blade facing upwards.

Use the inner elbow of the left arm to clamp the back of the knife from the root of the blade, hold the handle of the knife with your right hand and slowly pull it to the right, from the root of the blade to the tip of the knife, and wipe the blade clean with the clothes on the inner elbow of the left arm.

"cover me."

"learn.

"

Ogata did not tell Mamiya Ming what he was going to do.

But it's strange to say - even though Ogata didn't tell Mamiya what he was going to do, only said "cover me", but Mamiya still understood what Ogata wanted in an instant.

"Let's go."

Before the words were finished, Xu Fang stared at his hind foot and rushed towards the Taoist wall in front of him!

As for Mamiya, he followed closely beside Ogata.

Ogata, who was wearing a light onion haori, and Mamiya, who was wearing a dark red haori, turned into two "lights" of diametrically opposite colors. The speed was so fast that the shogunate soldiers standing at the front reacted one by one. None of them reacted.

For example, the soldier standing at the front—Ogata had already rushed to him, and he was still holding the knife in his hand stupidly, completely unresponsive—the enemy on the other side had already attacked.

A sword pierced the soldier's unarmored face, and after the system prompt sounded in his mind that he had killed the enemy and successfully gained experience points, Ogata quickly let go of the knife in his hand without any hesitation, leaned over and drew it out. Take out another wakizashi stuck in the floor at your feet.

After stabbing the newly drawn knife into the throat of a soldier on the right, he discarded the knife again, pulled out a knife stuck in the wall on his right, and then used this knife to chop at the other soldier. enemy...

Ogata completely abandoned the idea of ​​pulling the sword back and reusing it.

After beheading or stabbing the enemy with one blow, quickly discard the knife, pull out the knife stuck in the ground or wall, and attack a new enemy.

Ogata just kept repeating this process...

Because Ogata completely abandoned the idea of ​​drawing back the sword and reusing it, Ogata's current killing speed has reached an extremely terrifying state-after all, it saves the time to draw the knife back.

In this way, Ogata maintained the speed of one knife and one kill, gradually melting the wall in front of him, and leaning towards the officer with an increasingly ugly face...

As for Mamiya who followed closely behind Ogata, he was not idle either.

Although Ogata's swordsmanship is superb, it is inevitable that there will be some fish that slip through the net.

And Jiangong's job is to make up for all the fish that slipped through the net.

"Quick! Come on!"

Looking at Ogata who was getting closer and closer to him, the officer's face was already pale, and a lot of cold sweat began to break out from his forehead.

Although his voice was hoarse, and the soldiers around him were all very brave one after another, they rushed towards Ogata one after another, but in the face of the absolute difference in strength, these men of his still fell one by one .

And Ogata is getting closer and closer to him...

The officer noticed keenly——Ogata's eyes had been locked on him...

Keep looking at you while leaning towards you - any fool can see what this guy is going to do!

Thinking that the target of this lunatic turned out to be his head, the officer became more and more anxious.

He didn't dare to move forward, let alone retreat—as a commander, if he retreated before the soldiers, the blow to morale would be devastating.

Seeing that his subordinates were unable to stop the lunatic, the officer simply gritted his teeth, clenched the knife in his hand, showed a ruthless expression, and shouted:

"Everyone back down! Let me do it!"

As soon as the officer yelled, the soldiers who had been pardoned immediately retreated behind the officer like a tide.

As the soldiers retreated, it became a situation where the officer and Ogata confronted each other.

"Prisoner!"

The officer shouted loudly at Ogata in front of him.

It is impossible for the islanders of this island to have this level of swordsmanship. Since the lunatic in front of him is not an islander, there is only one identity he may have - a prisoner thrown to this island.

"I am the General Attendant - Zorai Lisheng! Report your name!"

"Ogata Yishi." Ogata said softly, "A rogue. For now, he has nicknames like 'Executioner Yidao Zhai' and 'Ren Zhan Yishi'."

As soon as Ogata's words fell, the soldiers behind Zorai immediately gasped one after another.

Zorai is also one of the people who recognize Ogata.

After resisting the urge to gasp and scream, Zorai said in a deep voice:

"It turned out to be the famous Ogata Yidao Zhai..."

"Ogata Yidaosai... Come on!"

With a determined expression on his face, Zorai raised the knife in his hand little by little, and took the upper stance.

"Servant general, Xinyinliu, Zorai Lisheng joins in!"

Ogata, who was happy to challenge Sarai one-on-one, raised the knife in his hand with one arm, without any posture, just stood leisurely with the knife in one arm and one leg apart.

"Ronin, Sakakibara has a sword style, and Ogata Yishi is on the move."

Whether it was Mamiya standing behind Ogata, or the soldiers standing behind Sarai, they all took a few steps back consciously, leaving enough space for Ogata and Sarai.

"Drink ah ah ah!"

The first to attack was Zorai.

Zorai's kihatto was quite loud.

The footsteps he stepped on when closing the distance with Ogata were also quite level—one could tell at a glance that he was not someone with mediocre swordsmanship.

After shortening the distance between him and Ogata in one breath, Zorai directly aimed at Ogata and launched a fierce storm-like attack.
