"Kondo-kun, what's going on?" Qingto asked quickly.
"I don't know the specifics." Kondo responded in a deep voice, "On the way to Ryogoku Bridge, we met this madman by chance. This madman claimed to be a descendant of Mitsurori Tada, one of the 'Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda'
, carrying a big gun and killing people everywhere."
"Twenty-four Takeda Generals? Tada Mitsurui?" Aoden raised his eyebrows.
The so-called "Twenty-Four Takeda Generals" are the collective name given by later generations to the 24 outstanding generals under Takeda Shingen, a famous hero in the Warring States Period (1467-1615).
The Warring States Period was one of the rare times of great division in this country, which gave rise to many popular stories and anecdotes, as well as a large number of characters who aroused the "desire of naming" in later generations.
Giving people random names... This is a traditional Japanese performing arts!
In addition to giving Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, and Uesugi Kenshin nicknames such as "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven", "Tiger of Kai", "Dragon of Echigo" and other nicknames, later generations also gave these people their subordinates.
The subordinates came up with all kinds of fancy nicknames.
What about the "Four Heavenly Kings of Oda", "Seven Spears of Jiyue", "Sixteen Divine Generals of Tokugawa", "Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda"...
The names are getting louder and louder than the last.
The performance is better than the other.
In order to come up with more catchy numbers like "4", "7", "16", and "24", a lot of unimpressive records were added... It was even impossible to find out what records he had.
The character enters.
For example, this Tada Mitsuru, Aoto has never heard of it.
Because Japan is a country that attaches great importance to class and family status, it is a very common opening to state who your ancestors are and who you are descended from.
But this is the same as Liu Xuande claiming that he was a descendant of the Han Dynasty after Prince Jing of Zhongshan - he said so, but whether that was actually the case...who knows.
Samurai attach great importance to face and reputation, so many people pretend to be fat. In order to improve their status and family status, they lie about being descendants of celebrities from hundreds of years ago.
Aoshinobu is the surname of Minamoto clan, so if Aoshinobu likes, you can also try to call your family a branch of the Seiwa Genji family in the Heian period, and claim to be a descendant of "King Chana" Minamoto no Yoshitsune. It's fun.
——No one can find out whether their family’s ancestor is Minamoto Yoshitsune anyway.
While Aoto and Kondo were exchanging information, Tada Koemon opened his red bloodshot eyes and turned his sharp gaze towards Aoto, Souji and Sanako.
"Okay! Is there a new rebel? Huh? There's also a woman?"
The moment his eyes touched Sanako, perhaps because he was shocked by Sanako's beauty, Tada Koemon's eyes regained some clarity - but this clarity was fleeting.
"Hmph! Has such a delicate woman become a traitor? You rebels are much better at deceiving people than I thought!"
——He is really a lunatic with abnormal brain...
Qingden's eyelids sunk slightly, and his right hand touched the handle of the knife that held the ghosts and gods.
This person's words are inconsistent with the words at the beginning and the end. He speaks as a traitor and rebels against the Party. He has no idea what he is talking about.
At this time, Kinoshita Mai and Elodie arrived.
Because Elodie was being held in his arms and his speed was slowed down, it was only now that these two beautiful figures, one red and one yellow, caught up with Ayoto, Souji and Sanako.
As early as when she was still on the road, Kinoshita Mai could smell the strong smell of blood.
Realizing that the scene waiting in front of them was definitely not trivial, and she must not let the still young Elodie see it, Kinoshita Mai silently pressed Elodie's head, burying Elodie's face into her "strong body"
” in the bear muscles.
Although Kinoshita Mai was mentally prepared when she smelled the smell of blood, after witnessing the street dyed red with blood, Kinoshita Mai couldn't help but feel shocked.
The tragic appearance and impact of these corpses hit by heavy weapons such as big body guns are far beyond what can be compared with swords and the like.
At this moment, Kinoshita Mai was extremely grateful for her foresight just now. She blocked Elodie's eyes with a "facial cleanser" beforehand, preventing Elodie from seeing this kind of thing that even an adult might not be able to bear.
A hellish scene to live in.
Kinoshita Mai silently increased the strength of the hand pressing Elodie's head, burying Elodie's pretty face deeper into her bear muscles, never giving Elodie the slightest chance to see the outside world.
"..." Elodie, whose vision was blinded by an unspecified spherical object, remained silent.
For the time being, she has seen quite a lot of scenes.
That snowy night more than half a year ago, at the place of residence more than two months ago... She had been repeatedly attacked by radicals, so she was no stranger to the smell of blood.
Therefore, based on the strong smell of blood mixed in the air, Elodie roughly guessed what a terrifying sight she would see if she raised her head.
She was afraid of that kind of bloody scene, so she very wisely chose not to see, not to listen, not to say...
After Qingden heard the news of Kinoshita Mai and Elodie arriving, he immediately turned to look at the two girls.
"A Wu...!" Qing Deng called the beauty in red's attention with a soft call.
After meeting Kinoshita Mai's eyes, Qingden winked at her.
Get Elodie out of here quickly——Qingden’s eyes conveyed such a message.
Kinoshita Mai, who understood the meaning of Qingto's eyes, nodded vigorously, then quickly returned along the original path with Elodie in her arms, and retreated to the outside of the battlefield where she could no longer see anything happening here.
At this moment, Tada Koemon roared again.
As he roared this time, the atmosphere in the air suddenly changed!
"How many companions do you have? Just call them! I'm going to kill a lot today! Take the fight! Let me see how capable you newcomers are!"
After roaring, Tada Koemon took a big step forward, twisted his waist and exerted his strength, thrust the gun and stabbed Aoshito's head.
A bit of cold light like the tip of an ear filled Qingdeng's entire field of vision in an instant!
Seeing this, Qingdeng calmly tilted his left thumb that had been holding the Dingguishen sword's scabbard forward, pushed the tangent to push the white blade out of the sheath just a few inches, and then pulled out the sword with a "crack" sound.
The next moment when Qingden firmly grasped the ghosts and gods with his right palm, he used a kasaya slashing move to strike the spearhead which was much longer than his entire forearm.
The deafening clang and sound waves swelled in the blink of an eye - Aonto's precise slashes successfully deflected Tada Koemon's large spear.
At this time, Souji and Sanako, who were standing on the left and right sides of Aoto, moved at almost the same time.
The two women, whose expressions became particularly solemn for a moment as they entered a fighting state, pulled out their weapons in unison, and then rushed towards Tada Yuemon like an arrow from a string.
Because she went out tonight just to buy some clothes, it was naturally impossible for Sanako to bring her best-used naginata with her. The only weapon she had on her body at this time was the one around her waist.
A wakizashi mainly used for self-defense.
But even so, there was no fear on Sanako's face.
Just based on Sanako's character... Not to mention her wakizashi, she dared to fight bravely against powerful enemies even without a single weapon on her body.
At this time, the people who rushed towards Tada Koemon were not only Souji and Sanako, but also Hijikata, Saito, and Nagakura.
The three of them cooperated with the two women and attacked Tada Koemon's left, back and right respectively.
The powerful advantage of "wide attack range" in battle is once again present at this moment.
I saw Tada Koemon's sharp eyes, sweeping across the surrounding people along the barrel of his gun, and then waving the big gun as easily as a lantern grass.
The gun barrel swept in a clockwise direction, rolling up clouds of dust and smoke on the ground, forcing everyone back.
Look at the gap where Tada Koemon has just finished his attack. Aoto and Kondo...the two of them clearly didn't discuss anything in advance, but they thrust forward at the same time as if they had a clear understanding!
The two people, who had a great understanding of each other, approached the two sides of Tada Kouemon's body, one on the left and the other on the right.
Natural Rishinryu·Torawei!
Natural Rishin-ryu·Moon Shadow!
Aoto and Kondo, two sharp blades approached Tada Kouemon's body with different trajectories and different sword moves!
"Hmph! The traitor! He has some skills!"
Using a technique that contained many delicate skills, Tada Koemon retracted the big gun to his chest, used the barrel of the gun to block Aoto's "tiger tail", and at the same time turned his body slightly to one side.
Kondo's sword was originally aimed at Tada Koemon's right shoulder, which was not protected by armor and was located in the gap between the armor.
But because Tada Koemon turned slightly sideways, Kondo's sword missed the mark.
The blade scraped across its thick breastplate, creating a series of orange sparks.
Qingdeng originally wanted to pursue him immediately, but with the roar like a tiger's roar and the long spear head that would surely break his limbs even if he was accidentally hit, Qingdeng took half a step to suppress him.
Come.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
He straightened his halberd, took a step back, and then thrust the big gun diagonally into the ground in front of him on the right, with the tip of the gun slightly submerged in the soil.
Obstructed by the soil, the tip of the spear was frozen for an instant - in this brief moment, it was filled with amazing power from the tip to the bottom of the pole.
Immediately afterwards, like a hurricane shaking the sky, the spear that moved with him was like a battle axe, swiping diagonally towards Ayoto and Kondo from the lower right to the upper left.
With a total gun length of 2 meters, Tada Koemon can easily cover multiple opponents with a casual blow.
The big gun "rising from the ground", the gun barrels intertwined with each other with great force, disturbing the atmosphere, stirring up the air flow and whining, and at the same time, it also brought up large amounts of dust and mud on the surrounding ground.
The lighter dust is carried by the rolled up airflow, swaying and rolling, and scatters around.
Before the gun could reach him, raindrops of mud hit him head-on.
I have to say - this move of Tada Koemon is really destructive. There is no doubt that it is a real killing move.
The gun head first hits the opponent's mud block, which has the effect of "destroying the field of vision".
Faced with a sudden splash of mud flying towards them, people who are not skilled in skills or have insufficient combat experience will always subconsciously close their eyes or raise their hands to cover it.
People who are unlucky will be hit directly in the eyes by mud, and will no longer be able to see for a short period of time.
Tada Koemon's move made Qingto couldn't help but think back to Sanako's special skill that he had just seen yesterday: Water Counterattack.
The former uses dust to block sight, while the latter relies on water flow and water light to deceive the enemy.
Although this "mud-slinging" combat method is very cunning, it is blameless - in a battle of life and death, who cares about martial ethics?
This move of Tada Koemon is very powerful, but it is obvious that a move of this level cannot pose a big threat to Aoto and Kondo.
The former of them is the "Niou" who is currently famous, and the latter is the next generation head of the Tennirishin-ryu clan!
Neither of them were frightened by the sudden flying dust and closed their eyes subconsciously, nor did they raise their hands to cover themselves.
He just stepped back with a calm face, and retreated easily out of the splash range of the mud and out of the attack range of Tada Kouemon's diagonal sweep.
While retreating to the rear, Seito also conveniently provided a counterattack for Tada Kouemon - using his mid-range stance to draw a straight line, he stabbed Tada Kouemon in the air.
Ayoto originally wanted to attack Tada Kouemon's torso directly, but the sword couldn't reach it, so he had to change the target to Tada Kouemon's right hand fingers - the fingers were the only thing this guy had from head to toe that was not protected by armor.
One of the places!
Because it was a hasty thrust, and the chosen target was too small, unfortunately, Aoto's thrust missed the target and hit the back of Tada Koemon's hand, which was protected by his gauntlet.
.
There was a "clang" sound, and dazzling sparks popped out from the tip of the knife when it touched a solid object, and then the entire knife was bounced aside under the influence of the reaction force.
--so hard!
Feeling the soreness and numbness that flowed down the blade of Dingguishen like an electric current to his palm, Qingden was suddenly shocked to realize: He had really experienced many "firsts" in the past two days!
Yesterday morning, I fought against a master of the Naginata Jutsu for the first time, and in the evening, I fought against a master of the Kaname Jutsu for the first time.
And now it is the first time to fight against an enemy wearing armor.
Aoto somewhat understood what Kondo had said with emotion - armor is really a killer weapon on the battlefield!
Weapons like the katana... no, all the blades in the world were not designed to break armor from the beginning!
Anyone with a little knowledge of martial arts knows that swords are very powerless in the face of armor. Most people can't even split a piece of wood smoothly with a sword, let alone iron that is harder than wood?
The weapons that can really pose a huge threat to armor are heavy weapons such as hammers, whips, and maces.
This is why every country that is still in the cold weapon age strictly controls armor - the protective capabilities provided by armor are simply too strong.
After an ordinary person puts on a pair of high-quality iron armor, his combat effectiveness can at least increase from 1 point to 10 points, or even 20 points! For people without armor, it is completely like a dimensionality reduction attack.
——With a wide attack range, high level of spear skills, and armor close by... he is really a troublesome guy...
After thinking this secretly, Qingdeng frowned slightly, and then thought to himself:
——It’s so weird... This guy looks like he hasn’t had a decent meal in a long time. Why does he still have so much energy in his body...?
Tada Koemon's body was as dirty as if ink had been splashed on it, and his exposed skin was covered with dirt. His deeply sunken cheeks left two deep lines on his face that looked like they had been carved out by a knife.
It looked like he had not taken in enough nutrients for a long time and had been hungry for a long time.
How such a weak body could manage to display such agility and use such powerful moves... This made Qing Deng feel puzzled.
Judging from the battlefield situation, Tada Koemon undoubtedly has a "good location".
Tada Koemon is 1.9 meters tall, and the total length of the gun in his hand is more than 2 meters.
A strong man with a height of 1.9 meters wields a 2-meter long gun...the attack distance is at least three times that of Qingdeng and others.
The street the two parties were currently on was a very busy commercial street on weekdays. The street was very wide and could accommodate more than ten adults walking side by side at the same time.
In this environment, long weapons such as large guns can be said to take advantage.
However, "geographical convenience" is a relative thing.
Although the vast battlefield allowed Tada Koemon to fully utilize his "wide attack range" power... it also allowed Aomori and his colleagues to fully demonstrate their "large numbers" advantage!
"Well……!"
Tada Koemon suddenly screamed.
While Tada Koemon was concentrating on dealing with Aoto and Kondo in front of him, Harada quietly "sneaked" behind Tada Koemon and stabbed him hard on the back.
