Chapter 243 The enemy general has been taken by me! (1)
Ogata didn't count how many soldiers the three of them had killed.
All he knew was that the still-living soldiers in front of him all had expressions of fear on their faces.
Not daring to shout like before, he rushed forward with swords in his hand.
Everyone was crowded at the other end of the corridor near the door.
Neither dare to step forward, nor dare to retreat further.
After the group of shogunate soldiers broke open the door, Ogata noticed the guy dressed as an officer.
The armor that guy was wearing was obviously much more advanced than that of other soldiers.
At the same time, he also wore an extremely conspicuous helmet on his head - there were horn-like decorations on each side of the helmet.
Dressing like this is like loudly saying to Ogata - "Hey, I am the commander of this group of people."
No matter in his previous life or in this life, Ogata has never learned any military strategies.
But Ogata still knows some basic principles of the art of war.
For example - to capture the thief first capture the king, to shoot the man first shoot the horse.
Ogata had his sights set on this guy from the beginning.
It's just that because the number of enemies is relatively large at the beginning, it is still very difficult to break through these layers of human walls.
But now - because many people have fallen to the ground, the human wall between Ogata and this officer has become much thinner.
A thought began to ring in Ogata's mind: It's time!
"Mamiya."
While Ogata softly called the name of Mamiya beside him, he raised the katana in his right hand and placed the blade on the inner elbow of his left arm with the blade facing up.
Use the inner elbow of your left arm to clamp the blade behind you 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. Use the clothes at the inner elbow of your left arm to wipe the blade clean.
"cover me."
"learn."
Ogata did not tell Mamiya Akira what he wanted to do.
However, it is strange to say that even though Ogata did not tell Mamiya Akira what he wanted to do and only said "cover me", Mamiya still understood what Ogata wanted in an instant.
"Let's go."
Before the words could be fully finished, Oubang glared and rushed towards the wall of people in front of him!
As for Mamiya, he followed closely beside Ogata.
Ogata, who was wearing a light green haori, and Mamiya, who was wearing a dark red haori, turned into two "lights" of completely opposite colors. Their speed was so fast that the shogunate generals standing at the front reacted one by one.
No one responded.
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, without reacting at all - the enemy on the opposite side had already attacked.
A sword pierced the soldier's unprotected face. After the system prompt of killing the enemy and successfully gaining experience points sounded in his mind, Ogata did not hesitate at all. He quickly released the knife in his hand and leaned over to draw it.
He took out another wakizashi stuck on the floor at his feet.
After stabbing the newly drawn knife into the throat of a soldier on the right, he abandoned the knife again, pulled out the knife inserted into the wall on his right, and then used the knife to slash the other soldier.
An enemy...
Ogata completely gave up the idea of taking the sword back and reusing it.
After beheading or stabbing the enemy with one sword, he quickly abandons the sword, pulls out the knife stuck on the ground or wall, and attacks the new enemy.
Ogata kept repeating this process...
Because Ogata has completely given up on the idea of withdrawing the sword and reusing it, Ogata's current killing speed has reached an extremely terrifying level - after all, it saves the time of withdrawing the sword.
In this way, Ogata maintained the speed of killing with one sword, gradually melting the human wall in front of him, and gradually leaning towards the officer whose face became increasingly ugly...
As for Mamiya, who was following Ogata closely, he was not idle either.
Although Ogata's swordsmanship is superb, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.
And Mamiya's job is to make up for all these fish that have slipped through the net.
"Hurry! Come on!"
Looking at Ogata, who was getting closer and closer to him, the officer's face turned pale, and a large amount of cold sweat began to break out from his forehead.
Although his voice was hoarse from shouting, and the soldiers around him were all very brave, killing Ogata one after another, but in the face of the absolute difference in strength, these subordinates of his still fell one after another.
.
And Ogata is getting closer and closer to him...
The officer noticed keenly - Ogata's eyes were always locked on him...
While he keeps leaning towards you, he keeps looking at you - even a fool can see what this guy is planning to do!
The officer became even more anxious when he thought that this madman's target was his head.
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.
After seeing that his subordinates were unable to stop this lunatic, the officer simply gritted his teeth, clenched the knife in his hand, showed a ruthless expression, and shouted:
"Everyone, stand down! Let me come!"
As soon as the officer shouted, the soldiers who were amnesty immediately retreated behind the officer like a tide.
As the soldiers retreated, the situation turned into a confrontation between the officer and Ogata.
"Prisoner!"
The officer shouted in a deep voice to Ogata in front of him.
It is impossible for the islanders of this island to have this level of swordsmanship. Since the madman in front of him is not an islander, he may only have one identity - a prisoner who was thrown to this island.
"I am the general-in-waiting—Zarai Risheng! Tell me your name!"
"Ogata Issei." Ogata said softly, "A ronin. He has nicknames such as 'Executioner Ittosai' and 'Renzai Issei'."
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, the soldiers behind Saray immediately heard gasps one after another.
Saray is also one of the people who recognizes Ogata.
After resisting the urge to gasp and scream, Zorai said in a deep voice:
"It turns out to be the famous Ogata Ittousai..."
"Ogata Ittousai...come on!"
With a look of determination on his face, Saray gradually raised the sword in his hand and assumed the upper stance.
"General Attendant, New Yinliu, Sarai Riri wins the battle!"
Ogata, who was happy to have a duel with Saray, raised the sword in his hand with one arm without any posture. He just stood leisurely with the sword in one arm and his legs apart.
"Ronin, Sakakibara's one-sword style, Ogata's style of swordsmanship."
Whether it was Mamiya standing behind Ogata or the soldiers standing behind Zoray, they all consciously took a few steps back to leave enough space for Ogata and Zoray.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
The first person to attack was Zorai.
Saray's kiai sound is quite loud.
The steps he took when closing the distance between him and Ogata were also quite good - one glance showed that he was not a person with mediocre swordsmanship.
After closing the distance with Ogata in one breath, Zorai directly aimed at Ogata and launched a fierce attack like a violent storm.
