Chapter 454 Reckless is right! (Draw a knife!) [9800 words]
Yesterday, a book friend asked me whether the Miao Dao was a Japanese Dao.
Let me explain here - Miao knives and Japanese knives are two types of knives.
The Japanese sword can be understood as the blade of the Japanese sword, plus the hilt of our Chinese sword.
You can watch the movie "Xiuchundao 2", in which Master Ding uses a Japanese sword.
*******
*******
Ogata became somewhat interested in the Fujusai that Kasaka mentioned, who used Japanese swords as weapons and used Japanese swordsmanship.
As a time traveler, I still have some affinity for the Japanese swords and Japanese swordsmanship produced in the Tang Dynasty.
"What is the real name of Bujuzai?" Ogata asked.
"Kannawa Juzo." As he spoke, Huosaka dipped his fingers into the water in the water glass next to him and wrote Fujusai's real name on the wooden board in front of him.
Although Huosaka looks rough, his handwriting is beautiful.
After Kasaka wrote the four beautiful Chinese characters "神Watatsu Jūzo" on the floor, Ogata couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
——Even if this guy’s title is so impressive, why is his real name so impressive?
Ogata didn't know what other people thought, but in short, he felt that "Bujusai" was more advanced than his "Ittosai".
The word "unpure" in "Bujingzhai" also has a bit of Zen meaning.
Ogata didn't expect that this Bujuzhai not only had a unique title, but also his real name.
Shendu Rouzao - just the name "Shendu" is very impressive.
"Kanawa Jūzo... is such a good name. Is this Fujosai from a wealthy family?" Ogata couldn't help but look at the name that Hanosaka wrote on the floor, which seemed very cultured at first sight.
Asked like this.
"Hahaha!" Higasaka laughed a few times, "Fujusai's background is very ordinary! He comes from an ordinary samurai family in the Mutsu Aizu Domain."
"As for why his name looks so much like the name Yue Qing Yunke would give... I don't know."
During such small talk, Ogata and others finished tonight's dinner without even realizing it.
After dinner, Ogata and others discussed it and decided to let the villagers take advantage of this moment to talk to them about the current situation of the village.
Except for Huosaka and Mizuno, who were the first to arrive, Ogata and others knew almost nothing about this village.
Therefore, Ogata and others planned to take advantage of this moment to get to know the village well, so that they could formulate a battle plan against the bandits in the future.
…
…
"Alas..." the "tall middle-aged man" sighed, "I think we can try to get the young girls in the village to hide in the nearby mountains."
As soon as the "tall middle-aged man" finished speaking, the person sitting next to him immediately said:
"it's useless."
"If we send young girls up the mountain, what will they eat? We don't have much dry food, so we don't have to give them meals every day."
"We send people to carry a lot of food up the mountain every day. Doesn't that mean we are telling the warriors that we are hiding people in the mountain?"
"Village, village chief!"
At this moment, a somewhat anxious young voice sounded outside the house.
A younger villager rushed into the house.
"What's wrong?" The village chief cast a questioning look at the young villager.
"The samurai said they hope we can send someone to tell them about the current situation in the village, so that they can formulate methods to deal with bandits based on the situation in the village!"
As soon as the young villager finished speaking, most of the people present showed a hint of fear.
Some people even shrank involuntarily.
Tell the samurai about the current situation in the village - this means facing a lot of samurai.
"Hey..." A thin man present said softly with a frightened look, "If you accidentally touch their knife...will you be hacked to death by them?"
This person's words made the look of fear on the faces of everyone present become even more intense.
"...I'll go," the village chief said at this time, "I'll go tell the warriors about the current situation of our village."
As soon as the village chief said this, everyone present looked at him in surprise.
Some people who were worried about the village chief said bluntly, "Village Chief, you are very old, so don't go there."
But in response to these people's suggestions, the village chief only shook his head.
"I am the village chief. I have the obligation to go see these warriors invited by us."
"Don't say any more."
…
…
The village chief, who was severely stooped, came to Ogata and others, accompanied by some villagers.
The village chief told Ogata and others everything he knew.
But what the village chief knows is actually very limited.
The only information he could provide was how many entrances and exits the village had, where the river was, and helping Ogata and others draw a map of the village.
Ogata and others originally wanted to inspect the surroundings of the village, but considering that it was already dark, they could only wait until dawn tomorrow before slowly inspecting the surroundings of the village.
…
…
In order to entertain the future samurai in their village, the villagers of this village specially cleaned some of the empty houses in the village for the samurai to stay.
There are enough empty houses for Ogata and the others to take care of each one.
Ogata and Atachi chose a house large enough for them to live in.
A villager whose name Ogata didn't know took the two of them into the house where they stayed.
This house is also a type of house with only one room, where eating, drinking, sleeping and entertainment are all done in one room.
"Oh~~ It's quite clean." After entering the house, A-Machi stretched out his fingers and wiped everything within reach. There was almost no dust on his fingers.
A quick glance showed that it had been cleaned recently.
"Samurai-sama, this house is where you and your wife live." The villager who was responsible for leading Ogata said to Ogata with a respectful bow.
Although he tried his best to hide it, Ogata could still clearly feel that the villager was quite nervous, and even his voice was shaking.
"Yes." Ogata smiled and nodded gently, "Thank you for your hard work."
Hearing Ogata's thanks, the villagers' tension eased a little.
"Then I'll leave first."
After bowing to Ogata and Atachi again, the villager quickly left Ogata's sight.
After watching the villager leave, Atachi smiled helplessly and said to Ogata:
"As expected, we are not very popular."
"It's not that we are unpopular," Ogata corrected, "it's that the samurai are unpopular."
When Ogata agreed to help the villagers in this village, he had expected that the villagers would respect and fear him.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
Excluding the ministers, nobles and samurai, the non-samurai class in the Edo period can be roughly divided into three types: farmers, town people, and filthy people.
As the name suggests, farmers are people who live in rural areas and engage in agricultural work.
Town residents are people who live in towns and cities and are mainly engaged in service industry, handicraft industry or commerce.
As for the untouchables, some of them live in cities and towns, while others live in the wilderness.
Not every city or town will have scum.
But in any town where there are kudos, the kudos must be huddled in the corners of the town that ordinary civilians would never approach casually. They are a group of people who have been forgotten and turned a blind eye.
The townspeople and the samurai lived together in the castle town, so the relationship between the townspeople and the samurai was relatively close.
Therefore, the townspeople who know what kind of group the samurai are are will not be too afraid of the samurai because of the "unknown".
This is not the case with farmers.
Although they live in the same country, the farmers living in the countryside and the samurai living in the towns are like groups living in two different worlds.
The "sense of unknown" caused by this gap created a considerable gap between farmers and samurai.
In fact, let alone samurai, there is actually a huge gap between farmers and the people living in the towns.
What farmers know about samurai is basically from hearsay.
For example, warriors have the right to kill people at will, and can draw swords to kill civilians who offend them. Warriors are moody and always draw swords to hurt people for no reason...
Some of the rumors that farmers heard about samurai were correct, while others were completely false.
Fortunately, we are now in the Edo period, a time of long-lasting peace.
In the Warring States Period two hundred years ago, the gap between farmers and samurai was even greater.
Soldiers and bandits do not separate families - this is the same in any country that is still in a feudal society or still has a strong feudal atmosphere.
During the Warring States Period, when wars were rife, it was common for the attacker to ravage the peasants of the attacked party.
The defeated soldiers would often gather into a group and harass the farmers everywhere.
After all, we are now in a peaceful society where few people have seen the flames of war. The samurai in the Edo period are far less cruel than the samurai in the Warring States period. There are no wars, and the probability of farmers being harmed by samurai has been greatly reduced.
Therefore, during the Edo period, the gap between samurai and farmers was much smaller than during the Warring States Period.
After Amachi casually threw the luggage on his back into a corner not far away, he lay down on his back on the floor that had been cleaned by the villagers.
Atachi, who was lying on the floor, stretched her waist and limbs, and said casually to Ogata, who was sitting next to her:
"Just now, when I saw the atmosphere between Huosaka and Jincheng becoming tense, I almost thought they were going to fight."
"Fortunately, Jincheng made a retreat in the end."
What Atachi was talking about was naturally the incident that caused Kinjo's dissatisfaction just now after Higasaka said, "Samurai morals are bullshit."
"I also thought that Jincheng and Huosaka were going to fight." Ogata said, "I was already prepared to go up and stop the two of them, but fortunately, Jincheng didn't seem to want to cause a big incident that would end badly.
, so I won’t have any more entanglements with Huosaka.”
"I'm a little interested in the 'Bujusai' that Kasaka mentioned." O-Machi put his hands on the ground and raised his upper body, "I've heard of Japanese swords in Shiranui before."
"It is said that it is a Tang sword that is a mixture of our Japanese swords and their Tang swords."
"The matching Japanese swordsmanship is also a very special swordsmanship that combines the advantages of the two countries' swordsmanship."
"I also kind of want to see what Japanese swordsmanship is like, which combines the advantages of swordsmanship from both countries."
"I'm also quite interested in Japanese swords and Japanese swordsmanship. But -" Ogata shrugged, "Did you just listen to what Tsuchiya said? Bujuzai has disappeared for nearly forty years."
"Maybe he's already dead."
"Even if he hadn't died, he would have been almost 70 years old this year."
"At such an old age, I may not even be able to hold a knife steady."
"Who said that?" Amachi retorted, "Look at Fuma-sama and Genichi-sama, they are both very old, but they are still very strong."
"The two of them are special cases." Ogata said angrily, "Not every old man is as strong and healthy as the two of them."
"Everyone's physique is different. Some people are still strong even when they get older - such as Mr. Yuan Yi."
"Some people's bodies will weaken at a very obvious speed as they get older."
"Maybe it's the latter."
Ogata changed into a half-joking tone.
"If Bu Jing Zhai is still alive, he might already be an old man in his 70s who can barely wield a Japanese sword."
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Atachi let out a big yawn.
A-Machi's physical strength is not as good as that of Ogata who owns the system. After a long day of traveling today, he is still full of energy, but A-Machi is already a little tired.
In addition, it happened to be the time when the two of them were preparing to go to bed, so a feeling of sleepiness began to take over in Amachi's mind.
Ogata: "Are you sleepy?"
"Well, a bit..."
"Then let's rest now." Ogata said as he began to take off his haori, "Have a good sleep, and then tomorrow we will take a good look at the terrain around the village with the others."
…
…
Although they were sleeping in a strange house, Ogata and Omachi were the kind of people who didn't choose a place to sleep.
Since Ogata broke away from the feudal clan, he has already developed the ability to sleep anywhere. He can also sleep soundly in the wild with the sky as his quilt and the earth as his bed.
Not to mention Atachi, when he was receiving ninja training, he had received training in surviving in the wild, and after he officially became a kunoichi, he would often eat and sleep in the open air.
For Ogata and Omachi, this kind of place with a roof above their heads to protect them from rain and snow, and where villagers provide bedding, is infinitely better than the wilderness.
After a sweet sleep, they both woke up and got up when the sky was just getting slightly brighter.
The villagers provided them with the same food as last night's dinner - white rice, pickles, and radishes.
All the warriors gathered at the same place to have breakfast as last night.
Although he only met Higasaka last night, through their brief interaction with him, Ogata also got a little understanding of Kawasaka's character.
He is a person who likes to talk and can't stop talking.
Last night when we were having dinner, he talked the most.
And the same is true at breakfast time now.
While taking big gulps of rice, he said vaguely:
"You know? You can't just eat too much white rice."
"I heard a doctor friend of mine say that eating too much white rice can easily lead to beriberi."
"Therefore, those nobles, nobles, and wealthy people are most likely to get beriberi."
"So you can't just eat white rice, you have to eat brown rice from time to time."
"Ah, I've heard of similar things." A-Machi continued, "I've also heard people say that if people eat too much white rice, they can easily get beriberi, so even if you have money, you can't just eat it.
Eat white rice every day and brown rice occasionally.”
As soon as A-Machi finished speaking, Oconi, who was sitting next to her, silently added:
"I've heard someone say before - it's not that eating too much white rice will cause beriberi."
"If you eat white rice with rich side dishes, such as more soybeans or meat, you will be less likely to get beriberi."
"Across the sea, in Korea and Tang Dynasty, they have richer side dishes when eating, so beriberi is not so prevalent."
In his previous life, Ogata had heard of the name of beriberi and had some basic understanding of beriberi.
The cause of beriberi is a lack of vitamin B1.
In ancient Japan, people ate some foods lacking vitamin B1.
Beans, meat and other foods are rich in vitamin B1.
In ancient Japan, people did not eat meat. Among the foods they ate that were closely related to meat, they were all kinds of seafood, including fish.
In the Japanese concept, various seafood including fish is not meat. Fish is fish and meat is meat.
All kinds of seafood, mainly fish, happen to be deficient in vitamin B1.
Brown rice is rich in vitamin B1, so beriberi is less common among the poorer people. However, it is more common among nobles and wealthy people who can eat white rice every meal.
Unlike brown rice, polished rice contains very little vitamin B1.
It is very easy to get beriberi when you eat only rice and simple side dishes and no meat.
Although people in this era have not yet figured out what the causes of beriberi are, with the accumulation of experience, they have gradually figured out some ways to prevent beriberi, that is, not always eating white rice, but also eating it occasionally
brown rice.
After hearing what Ogata said just now, Kasaka twitched the corner of his mouth:
"Can eating more soybeans and meat prevent beriberi... This is the first time I have heard of this."
"I have never eaten meat, and I don't know if it tastes good."
"If I have the chance, I really want to try the meat to see how it tastes."
"If you want to eat meat, you won't have the chance to eat it." A-Machi smiled and answered, "Where will anyone sell meat? Unless you go hunting by yourself."
"It is said that the Ezo people make a living by hunting and eat meat every meal." Hanosaka grinned, "Whenever I have the opportunity to wander to the Ezo land, I will buy some pieces of meat from the Ezo people.
Come and eat.”
"Hmph." At this time, Jincheng on the side said coldly, "Ezo are barbarians. They actually eat meat as their staple food. They are worthy of being barbarians."
In the minds of most people in this era, eating meat is a very strange thing. Only people with low status will eat meat, and those with noble birth will never eat meat.
Ogata doesn't have such messy ideas.
Listening to what Kasaka and Kinjo said just now, Ogata suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never eaten meat since he traveled here.
Eating habits have been assimilated unconsciously.
Although he has not eaten meat for more than a year, Ogata still vaguely remembers the taste of meats such as pork and beef.
Memories that had been somewhat forgotten due to the passage of time slowly emerged in Ogata's mind.
As these memories surfaced, Ogata felt his saliva secreting crazily in his mouth.
Ogata was thinking - when he gets to the Ezo land later, he can try to buy or exchange some meat from the Ezo people who are not hostile to foreigners, as Hwasaka said.
At that time, he can relive the taste of meat, and at the same time, it will open the eyes of Atachi who has never tasted the taste of meat.
…
…
Ogata and others finished their breakfast while chatting some and all.
After having breakfast, they started to inspect the terrain around the village according to the plan they made last night.
This village is not big. Under the leadership of several villagers, Ogata and the others quickly walked around the village.
"...This village is not easy to defend." After walking around the village, the first person to express his feelings was Atachi.
After Atachi's words came to his mind, the people around him, Kasaka and others, nodded in agreement.
Mutsu is a mountainous place, so many villages in the Mutsu area are located on the flat land between the mountains.
This village is a typical case.
Surrounded by mountains, outsiders can easily find a suitable place to monitor the village from a high position, or launch an attack on the village from a high position.
The only advantage of the location of this village is that it is adjacent to a river to the east.
There is a river for protection. If bandits come to attack, they will basically not use the east as their main attack direction.
"At present, we still have too little information about the bandits who are focused on this village." Jincheng said solemnly, "We don't even know their specific number. It would be great if we could know more information.
.”
"The number of bandits who are thinking about this village will definitely not be very large." Huosan did not shy away from the villagers beside him who had just led them to check around the village. "This village is obvious.
Poverty, those larger bandits will not waste their efforts on such a poor village."
"What we lack now is information about bandits." The taciturn Tsuchiya rarely expressed his opinion, "If we can know their number and the specific attack time, we can also use this to make plans.
Tactics.”
"...Compared to their numbers and attack time, I want to know where their stronghold is." Ogata said in a calm tone, "If we can capture one of their members alive, and then use him to
Information would be great.”
"Those bandits may send people to reconnoiter for information again." Huosaka said, "It would be great if they could capture one or two people alive when they send people to reconnoiter for information again."
"It's not that easy to catch." Jincheng sneered, "I don't care whether the bandits will send people to reconnoiter for information."
"Even if they come to conduct reconnaissance, do you know when and where they will conduct reconnaissance?"
Jincheng nuzzled towards the mountains nearby.
"Did you see it too? There are countless places nearby with good visibility that can be used to investigate the current situation of this village..."
"The bandits are coming! The bandits are coming!"
Before Jincheng finished speaking, a shrill shout suddenly sounded from the other side of the village.
Listening to these shouts one after another, the expressions on the faces of Ogata and others changed to varying degrees.
The first person to react was Ogata.
The next moment he heard this shout, Oubon immediately turned to Amachi next to him and said:
"Atachi!"
Ogata didn't need to elaborate any more, Atachi already understood it.
There happened to be a tree nearby. Using his hands and feet, A-Machi climbed to the top of the tree in just a blink of an eye, and then looked in the direction of the shouts.
"There were 12 people in total. They all had knives hanging on their waists, and no other weapons were seen. They walked very slowly, and they didn't look like they were here to grab anything."
Ogata's brows frowned slightly: "Did you see anyone ambushing around?"
"No. There is no place to hide people around."
Kawasaka and the others looked at Amachi crouching in the tree with stunned expressions.
"Miss Atachi, are your eyes so powerful?" Huosaka asked, "You can see clearly at such a long distance."
"Visibility is one of the few specialties that I am proud of." As Machi said, he jumped down from the tree.
As soon as Omachi jumped down from the tree, Ogata and others saw the villagers rushing towards them.
The leader is the village chief.
Perhaps because of the eagerness in his heart, the hunched-over village chief burst out at an unexpected speed, and ran towards Ogata and others at a speed that was no weaker than the others around him.
Compared to the panic of the villagers and others, Ogata and the others were much calmer.
The only one who showed signs of panic was Mizuno, Kasaka's apprentice.
Tsuchiya remained expressionless as always, while Jincheng's face was heavy.
As for Kawasaka - he was very free to make jokes that the villagers would never laugh at.
"It seems we arrived just in time. Not long after we arrived in this village, bandits came to visit."
"Samurai-sama!" After arriving at Ogata and others, the village chief said urgently, "A bandit is coming! They are almost at the entrance of the village!"
Ogata only thought for a moment and then said to the village chief:
"They don't seem to be here to steal things. The bandits who come to steal things don't walk around slowly. Let's see what they are here for."
…
…
Ohno proudly led the 11 subordinates behind him and strode towards the unknown village in front of him.
He had just heard a louder noise in the village - and he was very satisfied with it.
This is the effect he wants.
Before arriving at the entrance of the village, Ohno saw a crowd of villagers slowly walking out of the village, and then stopped at the entrance of the village - all of them were men, holding a mess of weapons in their hands.
They range from sickles to long sticks.
The leader was a stooped, white-haired old man—presumably the chief of this village.
Seeing the villagers coming out, Ohno also stopped and raised his hand to signal the subordinates behind him to stop too.
"What are you here for?!" The village chief, standing at the front of the young men in the village, shouted loudly to Ohno and others.
Although the village chief was trying his best to control it, Ohno could still clearly see the look of fear on the village chief's face, and his voice was slightly trembling with fear.
As for the young men in the village behind the village chief, they all looked the same - although they all held gadgets that could be used for fighting, everyone looked at Ohno and the others with shock and fear.
Looking at these people with fear on their faces, Daye felt pleasure rising from the bottom of his heart.
Ohno doesn't want to waste time talking about these idiots.
After clearing his throat, he shouted loudly to the group of villagers not far in front of him:
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon! My brothers and I would like to borrow some food from your village to celebrate the New Year!"
"We like to value harmony! If possible, we would like to borrow food and supplies from your village in the gentlest way possible."
"So you're very lucky - we don't want to deal with you too harshly."
"As long as you hand over half of your food and belongings, we will leave and never come back here again!"
Although Ohno's words just now sounded high-sounding, in essence they were naked blackmail.
As soon as Ohno finished speaking, the village chief's eyes widened with excitement:
"Half the food and belongings? We also need to survive the winter!"
The village chief knows better than anyone what the current situation in his village is.
Their village is already poor, and the food reserves in the village are just at the limit of "barely enough to eat".
This is the Mutsu region, the northeastern part of Japan, and winter is already very long.
They must have enough food to survive the winter.
If half of the food and belongings were given to these bandits, I really don’t know how many people would starve to death this winter.
In response to the village chief's shouting, Ohno seemed to be listening in one ear and out the other.
After shrugging, Ohno said in a frivolous tone:
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to give food and property!"
"We'll give you another choice!"
"You can use women in the village to replace food and property!"
"You are more than welcome to use women from the village to replace food and property!"
As soon as Ohno finished speaking, the subordinates behind him burst into laughter that made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot to say - we only accept young girls, those old ladies, we thank you very much!"
"A girl can exchange for half a rice! If she is a pretty enough girl, we can also consider letting the girl exchange for some more rice."
When Ohno just said that "women can be used in exchange for food and property," many young men standing behind the village chief showed signs of indignation.
At this moment, someone finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted angrily at Ohno:
"We will not hand over the women of our village to you!"
Many of the young men present have wives and daughters.
As long as he is a normal man, who can tolerate his wife or daughter being "borrowed" by bandits as if they were property?
After hearing the villager's shout, Ohno sneered.
"Did you make a mistake?"
"It's rare for us to be kind and give you a choice that will allow many people in the village to survive."
"If you really don't want to hand over half of your property and food to us, then we will have to use other means to 'borrow' it from you."
After saying that, Ohno deliberately placed his left hand on the handle of the knife on his left waist.
"I'll start with my ugly words - by then, we won't just want half of your food and belongings."
"We will take away everything that is edible in your village, including all the women."
"Don't think we don't have that ability."
"We still have many brothers."
"With only half of our manpower, we can wipe out your small village with a population of less than a hundred!"
…
…
When the village chief confronted the bandits who suddenly "visited" and asked them about the purpose of their "visit," Ogata and others had been silently lurking not far behind the village chief and the young men.
While listening to the purpose of this group of bandits' "visit", you should also be on guard against sudden attacks by these bandits and other unexpected occurrences.
At this moment, Ogata finally understood what this group of bandits was doing.
"Ha." Huosaka sneered, "This is an old trick of bandits. Let the villagers hand over a certain amount of food, property or women, and then let the village go."
"I heard that some villages did this."
"In order to make the women in the village follow the bandits obediently, they even beat them unconscious."
Mizuno asked his master with a worried face:
"Now how to do?"
"What else can we do?" Huosaka grinned, "This is a rare opportunity. This is a great opportunity to capture them alive and extract information from their mouths."
"What should we do?" Mizuno then asked, "There are 12 of them, and we only have 5."
"...I have a plan." Jincheng said at this time, "Let the village chief hold off these bandits first."
"Then we went back to the rear of the bandits and attacked them from behind."
"In this way, even if we are at a numerical disadvantage, we can easily win."
The taciturn Tsuchiya was as taciturn as ever and did not express any thoughts.
As for Ogata...
"...I also have a plan."
Ogata had put his right hand in his arms since just now, using his own body temperature to warm the cold right hand.
"I would like to hear the details." Jincheng looked at Ogata.
"We first drew out our knives, and then rushed straight towards the bandits. Then we saw fewer enemies, leaving one or two alive."
Jincheng was stunned.
Not only Jincheng was stunned, but among everyone present, except A-Machi, whose face remained normal, everyone else had a look of astonishment.
"At this time, please don't joke." Jincheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "The opponent has 12 people, and we only have 5 people. If we don't use some strategies, we will only be at a disadvantage... Hey! Where are you going?"
Before Jincheng finished his sermon, he saw Ogata, who had been warming his hands just now, suddenly stretch out his right hand from his arms.
Then he quickly pulled out the knife from his waist, jumped out of his hiding place, and rushed straight towards the group of bandits.
"Get out of the way!" Ogata shouted to the young man in the village who was blocking him.
Although they didn't know what the situation was, after hearing Ogata's shout, the village chief and the young men immediately moved to both sides, making way for a road that could lead directly to Ohno and others.
Ohno was stunned.
Huosan and the others were also stunned.
The first person to react was Huosaka.
"So this brother is so brave?" Kawasaka smiled, "This character is very suitable for me! Mizuno! Come on!"
"Yes Yes!"
Tsuchiya didn't speak. After a brief moment of surprise, he silently pulled out his sword and followed Huosaka.
"Is that guy a fool?!" As for Jincheng - he shouted angrily, while also pulling out his sword and stepping forward to help Ogata.
But there is actually no need for them to step forward to help...
Ohno looked at Ogata who was rushing towards them with a confused expression.
It took a moment before he finally reacted.
"Damn it! You actually invited samurai!"
Ohno cursed loudly and quickly pulled out the knife from his waist.
The subordinates behind him also drew their respective sabers.
"Hmph! Although you have invited a samurai, the samurai you invited seems to have a bad brain!" Ohno smiled evilly, "Only one person dares to rush up and fight us!"
The number of people on his side gave Ohno great confidence.
Faced with Ohno's ridicule, his mood remained unchanged.
When there were only a few steps away from Ohno, Ogata kicked hard with his hind foot.
The speed suddenly increased.
In the blink of an eye, Oubang rushed to Ohno.
Ohno couldn't react at all.
It wasn't until he was thrown to the ground by Ogata using Shiranui-ryu jujutsu that he finally realized belatedly that the samurai had already killed him.
Ogata didn't use Daishiten to take Ohno's life because he still had to live.
This guy looks like a little boss, so it's very suitable to save his life.
After knocking Ohno down with one blow, Ogata raised the sword in his hand high towards Ohno's subordinates.
It looks like a beast baring its fangs at its prey.
Da Shitian turned into a stream of light and first penetrated the chest of "Bandit 1".
While using the bird thorn to pierce the chest of "Bandit 1", Ogata pulled up the man's wide sleeve and blocked it between him and the man. After using the sleeve to block the chest, Ogata pulled the knife back.
Blood spurting from the wound.
As soon as he pulled out the Daishiten, "Bandit 2" roared and came towards Ogata from Ogata's left side.
Ogata didn't even look at the man. He ducked behind the man's knife and launched a counterattack from bottom to top in the direction of the man.
Sakakihara Itto-ryu·Climb the stairs!
Climbing the building is Ogata's weakest move in Sakakibara's Itto style, but it is more than enough to kill these mediocre bandits.
After killing "bandit 2", Ogata quickly adjusted his posture and ran towards the other bandit.
Ogata, who rushed into the bandits, felt like he was in a deserted place.
This group of low-level bandits couldn't even touch a corner of Ogata's clothes.
The bandit who was still alive was stunned.
The villagers were stunned.
Huosaka and others who had not yet rushed to the battlefield...especially Jincheng were all stunned.
