Chapter 948 The heroes of Edo rise! The swordsmen galloping on the battlefield! 【5200】

He jumped down from the city gate alone and jumped into the enemy group... His feat stunned the defenders on the Duolu Gate, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

The fierce fighting power that the old man showed next made them unable to believe their eyes.

The fierce enemy soldiers who beat them to the point of losing their armor were not even considered a single enemy in front of the old man!

He was just like chopping melons and vegetables, he could kill all the enemy soldiers with just one strike!

"Sword Master" Seiichiro Tanani...except for the "Eternal Sword Master" Ogata Issei who does not know life and death, he is currently the only living sword master!

Even though he is an old man, every move and every move he makes is still full of the demeanor of a sword master!

Facing the dense enemy soldiers in front of him, he raised his sword without any panic or fear - and his precise and sharp sword skills were unleashed immediately!

laugh!

The silver sword flashed to the left, cutting through the shortest path in mid-air, splitting the chests of four enemy soldiers.

laugh!

In the next breath, the silver sword light flew in the opposite direction to the right, severing the necks of two enemy soldiers.

With just two sword blows, Tan Seiichiro caused the "vacuum zone" around him to expand in a large circle.

While the enemy soldiers were stunned by him, he moved quickly and plunged deeper into the enemy group with an indomitable momentum.

The silver sword light flashed again and again, and every time it flashed, new flesh and blood would splash out, and new corpses would fall to the ground!

Otani Seiichiro's offensive was like a flood pouring into the sandcastle - the sandcastle collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At first glance, there is nothing special about the old man's moves, they are just ordinary horizontal and vertical slashes.

Only those who know something about swordsmanship can realize how terrifying he is: his swordsmanship seems to have reached the state of returning to nature!

He didn't bother to use tricks that were flashy or very energy-consuming.

Use the simplest moves to slash enemies - this is the fighting style he pursues.

From a certain point of view, he has understood the true meaning of swordsmanship: the swordsmanship that allows the sword edge to hit the enemy is excellent swordsmanship!

All of his moves, without exception, hit the vital points of the enemy soldiers and killed them with one blow!

So far, no enemy soldier has allowed him to make a second attack.

The area between the first city gate (Goryeo Gate) and the second city gate (Watura Gate) is not spacious, and it is a very standard "one man can guard the gate, and no one can open it".

Such terrain is a nightmare for large corps, and it is also an excellent place for top warriors to display their skills!

The man Tan Seiichiro thrust his sword into his body and drove the enemy soldiers out of the Wataru Gate bit by bit, making them invincible.

Those who were close to him saw the "power of the Sword Master" and hurriedly backed away.

People far away from him didn't know the details, so they crowded forward.

In fact, the people behind are also very innocent.

Because from Goryeomun (the first gate) to Waturamun (the second gate), you need to turn a right-angled corner, and the view is blocked by this corner, so people behind you have no idea what is happening in front of you.

It's over.

The people in front are retreating, and the people behind are advancing... In this way, congestion occurs as expected.

For a time, the scene became increasingly chaotic and order gradually collapsed.

Otani Seiichiro is not alone in his struggle.

At this time, another old man took action——

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, sharp arrows flew out of the gate!

These arrows drew straight afterimages in mid-air and fell into the enemy group.

Not one arrow missed, each arrow hit an enemy soldier, killing one with one arrow!

Those who use bows and arrows are those who are proficient in many martial arts such as Hohoin-style spearmanship, Tamiya-style swordsmanship, and Ogasawara-style archery, as well as various military arts such as Koshu-style military science, Gaiki-style artillery skills, and Noshima-style military art.

Martial arts master Kubota Kiyone!

I saw him standing at the edge of the Wataru Gate - this is the position where the male Tan Seiichiro just jumped down - holding a bow in one hand and twisting an arrow in the other, standing proudly, looking down at the enemy group below, so majestic.

In terms of swordsmanship, Kubota Kiyone is not as good as the male Seiichiro Tanani.

In terms of physical strength, he is no longer able to wield swords and guns as he likes at his old age.

However, if he just draws the bow and shoots arrows, he is still more than enough!

At this moment, one could see him using skillful and swift movements to pull out sharp arrows from the arrow pot at his waist, and put them on the bow. He pushed the bow with his front hand like he was pushing a mountain, and he stroked the string with his back hand like a tiger's whiskers - whoosh - again.

An enemy soldier fell.

He just kept repeating the series of actions of "drawing the arrow, drawing the bow, and releasing the string".

Its rate of fire is incredibly fast, with an average of one arrow fired every 2 seconds.

He barely aimed, he glanced at the approximate location of the enemy and then raised his bow to shoot, without missing a beat!

Either it hits the enemy's Tianling Cap, or it hits the enemy's neck...these are the parts where life will be lost immediately if the arrow hits.

In just a moment, he shot nearly ten people to the ground.

He just relied on his outstanding archery skills to achieve the suppression of an entire archer brigade by himself!

One for close combat, one for distance attack...the two old men cooperated in perfect harmony.

With the help of Kubota Kiyone, Seiichiro Tanani becomes more and more courageous in fighting! There is a vague tendency to push the enemy soldiers back!

At this time, Kubota Kiyone said to the shogunate behind him in a calm tone without sadness or joy:

"Why are you still standing there? Do you just stare?"

As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.

Just like sparks falling into an oil barrel, a raging fire called "fighting spirit" burst into flames!

"Mr. Kubota is right! Can we just stare at him?"

"We were just unprepared and caught the enemy by surprise!"

"That's right! As long as we face the battle calmly and without being arrogant or impetuous, the enemy is not scary!"

"Come on!"

"Follow the Juggernaut!"

The two great martial arts masters suddenly joined the battle and took the lead, greatly motivating the defenders of Yotsuya Mikado.

They regained their morale and fighting spirit, shouted and rushed down the Wataru Gate, came to the side of Otani Seiichiro, and fought side by side with the sword master!

Suddenly, the situation was reversed.

The attacking side becomes the Tokugawa army, and the defeated side becomes the French-Qi coalition army.

Even with the blessing of the "Decisive Battle of Yodo", the soldiers of the French and French coalition forces could not resist the shogunate army who was like a god of help at this time.

Facing the fierce attack of the Tokugawa army, they quickly retreated.

In just a few moments, they were driven out of the area between the two city gates, and then driven out of the Gaoli Gate.

Even the long ladders leaning against the Goryeo Gate were cut off and overturned one by one.

At this point, the Goryeo Gate was lost and recovered, and returned to the control of the Tokugawa army.

The Yotsuya Mikado was defended—the gratifying results greatly boosted the morale of the shogunate!

They waved their weapons one after another and cheered loudly.

"Eh! Eh! Oh!" the cheers kept coming one after another.

The male Tan Seiichiro held his bloody sword and stood on the gate of Goryeo Gate, staring expressionlessly at the enemy soldiers escaping in panic outside the gate.

Suddenly, Kubota's voice came from behind him:

"Seiichiro, your sword skills are still so sharp."

Kiyone Kubota carried his bow and moved slowly to the side of Tan Seiichiro.

Male Tan Seiichiro shook off the blood on the sword and smiled slightly:

"Qingyin, your bow and arrow are as accurate as ever."

Kubota Kiyone shrugged and put on a self-deprecating tone:

"I can only draw the bow now. I can't help with anything else."

Facing Kubota Kiyone who belittled himself, Seiichiro Otani calmly said:

"Qingyin, don't say that. Although it's no longer the era of swords, we old bones can still come in handy."

After saying that, he turned sideways and raised his chin to the soldiers around him.

Following his guidance, Kubota Kiyone turned his head and raised his gaze - a large number of shogunate soldiers gathered around them.

A bunch of admiring and adoring eyes fell on him and the male Tan Seiichiro.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that without the timely action of these two old men, not to mention recapturing the Goryeo Gate, they would not even be able to defend the Duolu Gate!

If Yotsuya Mikado falls, a series of chain reactions will be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, the soldiers on the scene couldn't help but feel terrified.

At the same time, their respect for the two old men grew even deeper!

The sincere love of the soldiers left Kubota Kiyone stunned in place.

After a while, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a smile with complicated emotions.





The sudden appearance of a top powerhouse reversed the tide of the battle... Similar scenes also occurred in other places in Edo!





Edo, Koishikawa Royal Gate——

Koishikawa Royal Gate is located to the north of Edo Castle.

Here too, there was a fierce attack by the enemy.

"Be careful! They're coming again!"

"A few more people are coming here! I can't stand it anymore!"

"Don't take a step back! Drive them down!"

The soldiers of the shogunate were nailed to the Goryeo Gate of the Koishikawa Imperial Gate to prevent the enemy from crossing the threshold.

They are very brave and their performance is remarkable.

However... it is not possible to muster up the fighting spirit and energy to resist this "biochemical army" that has defeated the "Decisive Lake".

Gradually, the defense line of the Tokugawa army became obviously loose.

At this extremely critical moment, five figures galloped forward! They swarmed to the battlefields where the situation was most tense!

After seeing the specific appearances of these five figures, someone excitedly shouted:

"Get out of the way! It's the swordsmen of the Chiba family!"

Chiba Sadayoshi, Chiba Jutaro, Chiba Eijiro, Chiba Dosaburo, Chiba Tamonshiro - the five great swordsmen of the Chiba family fight side by side, this scene is so amazing!

As a prestigious "swordsman family", the Chiba family's swordsmanship gene is obvious to all.

The previous generation Chiba Yoshinobu was the founder of Beichen Dream Style.

The previous generation's Chiba Koemon was a strange man who practiced both medicine and sword. He carried forward the Beichen Dream Stream.

The previous generation's Chiba Shusaku and Chiba Sadayoshi worked together to create the Hokushin Itto-ryu.

This generation is even more incredible! Every adult male is an outstanding swordsman at the level of swordsman. Even Sanako, who is not a man, is recognized as a "genius female swordsman". No one is a fuel-efficient lamp.

The family has been in the family for four consecutive generations, and each generation has produced swordsmen with outstanding swordsmanship... Such a prosperous swordsmanship family is rare in the world.

Compared with the two older brothers Eijiro and Dosaburo, Jutaro and Domon Shiro are slightly less famous.

But this doesn't mean they are weak.

They are just not as good as their brother. Compared with others, they are definitely first-rate swordsmen!

Sure enough, with the appearance of the "Five Chiba Swordsmen", Kohinata Mikado's battle situation suddenly changed drastically.

"Brother Duomen, I'll leave the enemy on the left to you!"

"Understood. Brother Chong, I wish you good luck in martial arts."

"Well, I also wish you good luck in martial arts!"

The moment the two of them finished speaking, Jutaro and Tamon Shiro both kicked their hind legs fiercely, ejected, and rushed to the left and right to kill the enemy group!

Jutaro cut off the head of an enemy soldier with one blow.

Immediately afterwards, he freed up his left hand and grabbed the collar of another enemy soldier - this man wanted to sneak attack Jutaro, but Jutaro stopped him first - and knocked him to the ground.

In the next breath, the knife in his hand drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and returned to the optimal position for exerting force.

Almost at the same breath, the knife in his hand turned into an afterimage and slashed out! He first chopped down the enemy in front, then swung it to the right, cutting off the waist of the enemy on the right, and then stabbed to the left, piercing the left side.

The heart of the enemy.

Of course, when he finally put the knife away, he did not forget to give the man he had just knocked to the ground a finishing blow.

Domon Shiro is straight-tempered and has a bad temper, so his fighting style is also full of violence.

No matter how many enemies are around him, he is not afraid at all! He keeps rushing forward! He has the aura of "turning his body into an arrow and piercing the enemy's army"!

While constantly charging forward, he danced the sword with great vigor.

Compared with the other brothers, his swordsmanship is the most typical of Beichen's Itto Style - he specializes in greeting people's arms!

He slashed diagonally, cutting off the first man's right wrist, and then adjusted the blade so that the second man lost his entire right arm. When he closed the knife, he did not forget to sweep the third man's right arm, making the other man disabled as well.

Broken arms with complete cuts fell to the ground... After weakening the enemy's strength, Domon Shiro slowly released his killing move and delivered a fatal blow, allowing these guys to complete their transformation from disabled people to dead people.

.

At the same time, on the other side, one of the representatives of the younger generation of the Chiba family, the second generation head of the Beichen Ittoryu family, Chiba Michizaburo——

"..."

He walked silently towards the enemy group in front, with no expression on his face.

His hands holding the two knives dropped naturally, and the tip of the knife in his right hand dragged on the ground, making a harsh "clack" sound.

The enemy soldiers sensed that this man was unusual and kept changing their positions. For a while, no one dared to step forward.

They don't dare to do it, Chiba Michizaburo is about to do it!

It was a little late, but it was fast, but when he made a wrong step, he was in front of the enemy soldiers in a blink of an eye.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

In an instant...just an instant, the two swords in his hands splashed out with fistfuls of blood mist!

Thanks to the self-created Beichen Two-Sword Style and the blessing of his talent of "reciprocity between left and right", Chiba Douzaburo is best at doing more than one dozen!

Every group that wants to suppress Chiba Michizaburo with numerical superiority will taste the bitter pill.

In order to quickly defeat the surrounding enemy soldiers in order to support other battlefields, Chiba Michizaburo did not hesitate to use his special skills.

He quickly changed his stance, placing the two knives in his hands at the same height as his chest, and then turned his body like a windmill.

His body is the central axis of the windmill, and the two swords in his hands are the fan blades of the windmill.

Just one rotation turned several enemy soldiers into dead corpses on the ground.

When it turned again, several people fell to the ground wailing!

Facts have proved that even the soldiers who have swallowed the "Decisive Battle of Yodo" can only be defeated in the face of the overwhelming strength of the "Five Chiba Swordsmen".

Among them, those who performed most brilliantly and killed the most enemies were Chiba Sadakichi and Chiba Eijiro.

One of them is one of the founders of Beichen Itto-ryu, and the other is once recognized as "the strongest in Edo"... Their heroic appearance of wielding swords to kill enemies with ease is both fascinating and frightening!

Chiba Nobuyoshi is a middle-aged man who is over fifty years old.

As we all know, "out of shape" is an insurmountable hurdle for middle-aged people.

Chiba Nobuyoshi's current image... To put it bluntly, it is simply the best explanation for the term "middle-aged man with fatness".

The flesh of the cheeks dropped downwards, and the loose clothes could not hide the huge belly...

However, even if his body decays and degenerates, his limbs and bones still remember the method of wielding a sword and the skills of fighting!

Jutaro, Domon Shiro and others are just showing off the style of Beichen Itto-ryu.

And Chiba Sadaiki - he himself is the incarnation of Beichen Itto-ryu!

At this moment, he was facing more than a dozen enemy soldiers alone, majestically setting up his sword in the blue-eye position, and the tip of the sword twitched gently like a wagtail's tail.

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!

Click! Click! Click! Click!

The sound of metal and iron clashing as the attack was blocked, the weapon was deployed, and the friction of feet sliding on the ground...these two sounds were mixed together.

Chiba Sadayoshi stepped forward and shuttled among the enemy soldiers.

In seconds, he moved behind the enemy group.

The enemy soldiers seemed to be petrified, their postures frozen in place.

The next moment——

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

Balls of blood mist splashed out!

The enemy soldiers' bodies spurted out a large amount of blood, and after shaking for a few times, they fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, a pile of severed arms fell to the ground.

In just the blink of an eye, Chiba Nobuyoshi's back became a "no man's land".

With his back to the corpses on the ground and the pillars of blood still spraying out, he calmly assumed the Canshin stance and shook off the remaining blood on the blade.

As for Chiba Eijiro... let alone him.

Chiba Eijiro, who is only in his twenties this year, is far from his peak.

In other words, he is still in a state of growth! There are endless possibilities!

Compared with the time when he dueled with Qingdeng, his strength has increased a lot.

If Chiba Sadaikichi, Chiba Michizaburo and others are "fighting", then he is "killing"!

The huge gap in strength made his battle look like a one-sided killing!





A powerful enemy attacked, and Edo was in crisis... Faced with this unprecedented crisis, the heroes of Edo did not stand idly by.

"Hachishaku Musou" Oishi Susumu, "Momoi of the Position" Momoi Haruzo, "Itai's Little Tengu" Itai Hachiro... These famous swordsmen stepped forward one after another, spontaneously participated in this battle, and guarded all parts of Edo.

Strategic location.

Relying on their unparalleled "personal prowess", they withstood the enemy's offensive! Even the "Biochemical Legion" who defeated the "Decisive Battle of Lake" could not shake their defense!
