Seeing that the generals of the shogunate army finally broke through the door, Ogata, who was standing in the middle of the three people, raised his left hand holding the sword, raised the katana in his left hand to his chest, and then slowly drew out the sword.
sheath.
The cold light reflected from the unsheathed blade not only brought some light to this dim corridor, but also illuminated Ogata's face.
Seeing Ogata draw his sword, the shogunate generals in front all nervously threw away the spears in their hands and pulled out the swords at their waists.
They are all elites in the army, so even without the commander's order, they know that long guns are not easy to use in such a narrow corridor. Not only is it extremely difficult to use them well, but it is also easy to accidentally injure friendly troops.
Therefore, they all changed their weapons very consciously without the commander's orders.
The officer who was frightened by the "steel forest" in front of him finally recovered completely at this time. He suddenly waved the knife in his hand and shouted: "Kill!"
As the officer's order was issued, the soldiers behind him immediately shouted, raised their swords high, and charged towards Ogata and the three of them!
However - even though the shogunate army had launched a charge, Ogata and the other three still looked unhurried.
Mamiya, who didn't even draw the sword, even asked Ogata and Makimura next to him in a half-joking tone:
"Want to compete to see who kills more people?"
"I don't want to." After replying to Mamiya in an angry tone, Ogata picked up the knife and walked slowly towards the shogunate army that was coming towards him.
The swordsmanship practiced by the soldiers of the shogunate army is not the swordsmanship of any sect or school, but the swordsmanship passed down from generation to generation in the army.
The army is an organization whose main mission is to plunder lives. Naturally, the swordsmanship they teach is not about cultivating one's health and pursuing "non-killing swordsmanship".
Rather, it is a "murder sword" that strikes directly at the vital points of others and pursues killing people with high efficiency.
There aren't many fancy sword skills, every move and style is very ordinary.
But these seemingly ordinary sword skills are deadly.
Of course - not all soldiers use military swordsmanship.
Just like the soldier in front of Ogata.
The soldier facing Ogata at this moment, just from the way he held the sword, Ogata could tell at a glance that the swordsmanship used by this soldier was a swordsmanship that was quite familiar to him - Katori Shinto style.
The moment he switched his breathing to "Breath of the Source", the sword of this soldier using the Katori Shinto style was packed with huge power and struck Ogata's head.
This kind of battle with one enemy against many, Ogata also fought too many times.
All gained experience.
Regarding this kind of one-to-many battle, Ogata summed up a lot of valuable experience.
One of them is - if you can't accept someone else's sword, don't accept someone else's sword.
Forcibly catching someone else's knife will not only cause great damage to the knife in your hand, but will also greatly affect your own physical strength, which is not conducive to your long-term combat.
After making a mistake in his steps and using steps to dodge the soldier's attack, Ogata raised the sword in his hand, aimed at the soldier's throat, and stabbed him without any hesitation.
The familiar feeling of the sharp blade penetrating through flesh and bone and piercing bone spread along the handle to the palm of the hand.
Before he could take the sword back, a soldier beside Ogata shouted, raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Ogata.
After noticing the soldier's location and the attack from the corner of his eye, Ogata released the handle of the knife in his hand without any hesitation and gave up the knife that he had no time to pull out.
He lowered his body and dodged the soldier's thrust. Then he pulled out the wakizashi that was inserted just beside his feet. He used all his strength and aimed a bird stab at the soldier's abdomen.
A violent backlash caused Ogata's palms to feel slightly numb.
After exerting all his strength and paying the price of having the tip of the wakizashi knife in his hand break, he finally succeeded in piercing the soldier's armor and piercing his abdomen.
It's a pity - because of the protection of the armor, although it successfully penetrated his abdomen, it still couldn't penetrate deeply.
Unable to inflict fatal injuries on the soldier, Ogata once again abandoned his sword without hesitation, pulled out the sword inserted into the wall next to him, and hit the soldier's face with a "water fall", replenishing his wounds.
After moving the fingers of his hands, which were still slightly numb due to the force of the shock just now, Ogata thought to himself:
——To deal with this kind of armored enemies, it is indeed better to attack less of the areas where they are protected by armor...
When Ogata had already started killing, Mamiya and Makimura were not too far behind Ogata.
After cutting off the throat of a soldier in front of him with a horizontal slash, the sword in Makimura's hand remained unabated and struck the wall next to him heavily.
"Tsk..."
Makimura shook the knife in his hand and muttered: "I'm really tired of using the knife..."
Makimura is good at using the Odachi sword.
The sword technique he uses is a self-created sword technique, which he calls himself "Wo Liu Dao Technique".
A major feature of his self-created "Wo Liu Dao Technique" is its wide opening and closing.
Coupled with his sword skills and his height, his Odachi can exert great power in a wide area.
However - in such a narrow corridor, it is extremely restricted.
The staggering length of the Odachi is destined to be like a spear in such a small environment. It is extremely difficult to exert its due power, and it is also easy to accidentally injure one's own people, so Makimura can only carry his Odachi on his back.
Go up and reluctantly use the sword to meet the enemy.
Because Makimura's sword skills were extremely versatile, he frequently cut down the walls on both sides or the ceiling above his head.
It's just that - even though Makimura's body frequently had flaws due to his sword skills, no soldier was able to hurt Makimura.
Although Makimura is tall, he is not bulky.
Even if there were frequent flaws, Makimura could always rely on his extraordinary agility to quickly adjust his posture and prevent the shogunate army from having any chance to hurt him.
At the same time - because of Makimura's long arms, it was extremely difficult for the shogunate army to approach Makimura.
Even before his own sword could hit Makimura, Makimura's sword could already hit them.
Because the three of them have different sword skills, the number of enemies they have killed so far is also different.
Mamiya currently kills the most enemies among the three, slightly more than Ogata.
There is no other reason - one of the characteristics of Mamiya's swordsmanship is speed.
The knife comes out as fast as lightning, and at the same time, the knife is struck with breathtaking accuracy.
"Oh oh oh oh!" a soldier with a loud voice shouted and rushed towards Mamiya.
Mamiya looked at the soldier rushing towards him with interest, then slowly put the bloody knife back into its sheath, spread his legs leisurely, stood still, then turned his body to one side,
Lower your body's center of gravity, and place your right hand naturally on the handle of the knife hanging on your left waist.
Mamiya and the soldier only fought for one round.
After rushing to Mamiya, a silent sword light swept across his neck, and then the soldier suddenly seemed to have lost strength, slowly slowed down, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Mamiya maintained the posture of drawing his sword, and the soldier who had fallen to the ground also maintained the posture of charging forward - except that his head had fallen off, leaving only a thin layer of skin and flesh connected.
