Chapter 488 Ogata: That's right, times have really changed [Birthday Explosion Update 1W2]
If he rashly leads his men into the village to help the villagers deal with Vladimir and the others, they will definitely be accidentally injured by the villagers of Qina Village.
After all, Skulucci and Vladimir are both Cossacks, and their appearance, horses, and weapons are exactly the same.
In other words, Scrooge was born in Scotland, so his appearance is slightly different.
The villagers of Qina Village had no idea which of them were Skulucci's people who came to help and which were the people who attacked their village.
So Skulucci did not take his men into the village.
Instead, they chose to provide remote support outside the village.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
Gunshots rang out one after another.
"Afjie! Well done!"
In order to better observe the situation in the village, Skulucci stood on the back of his horse and looked at the village with a telescope.
Skulucci's horse has been following Skulucci for many years. Under Skulucci's training, it is extremely docile and has a tacit understanding with Skulucci.
When Scrooge stood on its back, it remained motionless, making Scrooge seem to be standing on flat ground.
"You hit someone again!"
"You're a fucking genius at shooting!"
"You can be made a Duke just by your shooting skills!"
"If I were the King of England, I would definitely make you a Duke!"
"The fiefdom will be established in Connaught, and I will make you Duke of Connaught!"
Skulucci did not have all 12 of his current men armed with guns - this would be too slow.
Not all of his men have excellent shooting skills.
So Skulucci divided his men into 3 groups of 4 people each.
In each group, one person is responsible for shooting, and the other three people load the ammunition for the person responsible for shooting.
The Kentucky Long Rifle is currently the most advanced rifle. It has an ultra-long range and good accuracy, and its reloading speed is much faster than its "predecessors".
The Kentucky Long Rifle uses a special loading method.
Using grease-impregnated linen cloth or deerskin pieces to wrap the projectiles and load them into the muzzle reduces friction, not only speeds up the loading speed, but also acts as a breath-holding function, speeding up the accuracy and range of the bullets to a certain extent.
However - although the reloading speed is faster than its "predecessors", the speed is also limited.
Anyone who can shoot 3 or 4 shots in one minute without anyone else to help load the ammunition is already an extremely skilled person.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the barrage continues, letting the person with the best shooting skills be responsible for shooting and having a few people help load the ammunition is a very common musket tactic in this era.
When the shooter raises his gun to aim and shoot, the person responsible for loading loads the gun with an empty chamber.
After the shooter finishes shooting, the person loading the ammunition will hand the loaded rifle to the shooter, and then he will take the rifle that has just been shot from the shooter and continue loading, and repeat.
Under Skulucci's configuration, although there were only four people responsible for shooting, because each shooter had three people responsible for loading the ammunition, these four shooters were able to shoot continuously, and the bullets they fired were
The scene was enough to pose a considerable threat to Vladimir and others in the village.
Avji was one of the four shooters.
Avjie, who was born as an Orion hunter, has developed excellent shooting skills since he was a child.
So far, Avger has the most outstanding record. He has killed 4 enemies so far.
"Boss Scrooge!"
When Avger handed the empty gun in his hand to his companion who was responsible for loading the ammunition, he cast a worried look at Skulucci.
"Stop standing on horseback! It's too dangerous! If you are hit by a stray bullet, you will be in trouble! You should also know what the consequences will be if you are hit by a bullet, right?"
"If you are hit in the upper body, you are basically dead! If you are hit in the limbs, you can only have them amputated!"
Avger tried to make Scrooge jump off the horse out of fear and stop standing on the horse by detailing the dangers of being hit by bullets.
Nowadays, not only rifles are evolving rapidly, but bullets are also evolving rapidly.
In the past, although being hit by a bullet was very dangerous, as long as no important parts were damaged and timely treatment was given, one could still save his life.
But it's different now.
Now if he was hit by a bullet, it would be troublesome.
Bullets in the past would only fly straight, but now bullets can spin.
This kind of spinning bullet is extremely destructive.
When it hits the human body, it will cause great damage to the tissues inside the human body.
So what Afjie said just now is not alarmism. It is all facts.
Many of Vladimir and Alexei's subordinates have now discovered that a group of uninvited guests are shooting and harassing them outside the village. Many of their companions have fallen to the guns of those people.
They now also used their muskets to fight back against Skulucci and others.
However - because there are still many villagers in the village who are resisting fiercely, and there is also an additional Ogata, so Vladimir, Alexey and their subordinates are unable to do anything, and the counterattacks are sparse.
But no one could guarantee that a stray bullet would not hit Skulucci, who was standing high on the horse's back.
Skulucci's response to Avger's advice was to laugh a few times.
"Hahahahaha."
Then he said:
"It seems not bad to die in this beautiful land of snow..."
After that, Skulucci, who laughed a few more times, ignored Avger and continued to stand on his horse, using the telescope in his hand to check the situation in the village.
Seeing that Skulucci could not be persuaded, Avger sighed softly, picked up the rifle in his hand, and concentrated on carrying out his shooting mission.
Skulucci has been using binoculars to closely monitor the situation in the village.
He had been observing the situation in the village and gradually discovered that the screams in this village seemed to be gradually decreasing.
The screams became less and less, and the most likely scenario that Skulucci could think of was that almost all the villagers were killed, and Vladimir and the others began to loot the loot.
But if all the villagers are really killed, then Vladimir and the others will definitely lead a large army to come to Skulucci and the others to settle accounts - but until now, Skulucci has not seen anyone to settle accounts with them.
Large army.
Just when Skulucci was thinking about the situation in the village, Skulucci, who was turning the telescope to a new position, suddenly saw Vladimir.
He was leading some people and stopped in place, not knowing what he was doing.
Not long after seeing Vladimir and others, Skulucci saw a figure that made him raise his eyebrows - the figure of Ogata.
Skulucci saw Ogata crouching low and approaching Vladimir and the others from the side and behind them, probably wanting to sneak attack Vladimir and the others.
When he saw Ogata striding out of his camp without saying a word, Scrooge could tell from Ogata's expression what he wanted to do.
Unfortunately, due to his limited field of vision, Scrooge could not find Ogata in the village just now.
Although he was standing on horseback, his height was still too short. Skulucci could not see many directions in Qina Village.
This was the first time that Ogata's figure appeared in the lens of Skulucci's telescope after he pointed it at Qina Village.
Looking at Ogata appearing in the telescope lens, Scrooge pursed his lips involuntarily.
The scene where he mistook Ogata's back for another person's back was still fresh in Skulucci's memory.
He still wonders why he mistakenly saw Ogata's back as that of that person just now.
Just when Skulucci was still immersed in doubts about this matter - Ogata managed to get close to Vladimir and others without being discovered by Vladimir and others.
The long and short swords in Ogata's hands turned into two streams of light and swept towards Vladimir and others.
Swinging a knife to attack the enemy - it was obviously just a very ordinary scene, but at this moment Scrooge's pupils shrank suddenly.
Then he grasped the barrel of the telescope tightly with both hands and pressed his eyes tightly against the lens, as if he wanted to crush the lens of the lens.
Scrooge looked through the telescope, dead
Ogata's movements of swinging the sword, his skill in wielding the sword - Scrooge watched all of this intently.
He didn't even seem to want to blink his eyes.
…
…
Alexey is not someone who knows nothing about knives or swords. He has participated in wars in Eastern Europe before and cut off many heads with his own hands.
His sword is not a sword that has only been swung into the air, but a sword that has been bathed in a lot of blood and participated in death battles.
Because of this, Alexey could see how incredible Ogata's skill was just now.
And - he once sparred with Vladimir.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Vladimir was indeed superior to him in terms of sword-wielding skills and actual combat experience.
He asked himself - there was no way he could kill Vladimir so easily and freely.
Seeing Vladimir collapse before he could even scream, a thought flashed through Alexei's mind: Well, let's run away.
Although he knew that running away was shameful, his body still moved honestly, pulling on the horse's reins, driving the horse under his crotch to take him away from Ogata.
Although he couldn't see the eyes of his subordinates beside him, Alexey could still keenly feel that they were looking at him with strange eyes.
Alexey, who was looked at by these eyes, felt uncomfortable all over, as if there were a hundred ants crawling on his body.
In order to restore his dignity as a leader, Alexei held up a serious face, stiffened his neck, and said loudly:
"Let's make a planned retreat first!"
"That Japanese is much more powerful than I thought! Just the few of us are not safe enough!"
"Let's gather the scattered subordinates together! Shoot him with muskets! No matter how powerful he is, can he be more powerful than a gun..."
boom!
Before Alexei finished speaking, he heard a gunshot in the distance behind.
Then——
"咴咴 咴 咴 咴 咴 咴 咴 咴 ..."
The horse under Alexei's crotch screamed.
Alexei saw the scenery in front of him quickly passing by, and the pale earth covered with white snow rushed towards him.
Immediately afterwards, Alexey saw countless Venus flying in front of his eyes, and a shattering pain spread throughout his body.
The horse under Alexei suddenly fell to the ground, causing Alexei sitting behind him to also fall off the horse.
At the same time - because Alexey was rushing at the front of their group, Alexei and his horse fell to the ground, tripping up all the guards behind him.
Because the distance was too close and the change happened so suddenly, Alexey's guards had no time to react.
The group of people seemed to have been involved in a series of rear-end car accidents, and they were all knocked unconscious.
Somewhere behind them, about two hundred meters away, there was a faint smoke from the muzzle of a Kentucky long rifle.
And the person holding this Kentucky long rifle—is Atachi.
…
…
When Ogata rushed to attack Vladimir alone, Atachi, who knew that he could not help much by following him, lurked in a hidden high place without any complaint or a word, and helped Ogata guard the surroundings.
Omachi was very particular about the position he chose - it happened to be a position where Sozakura lurking in him could effectively attack the enemies around Ogata.
If something unexpected happens next to Ogata, for example: someone pretends to be dead and plans to sneak attack Ogata while Ogata is not paying attention, A-Machi can use her Suzaku to remotely support Ogata - although A-Machi feels that
The chance of this happening is very small.
Azimachi, who had been helping to guard the surroundings, discovered Alexey and his group who suddenly appeared in time.
She originally thought that this group of people came to surround Ogata after hearing the news.
"There is a new enemy to the west!"
Omachi shouted this warning to Ogata. At this time, Ogata just happened to kill Vladimir with one move.
Then - this group of guys that Atachi thought were coming to surround Ogata, while she warned Ogata, they reined up their horses and fled in the direction they just came from without any hesitation.
Amachi: "???"
When he saw this group of people running away without any hesitation, the expression on Atachi's face was so weird that it was difficult to describe in words.
Atachi guessed that this group of people probably ran away because they felt timid after seeing Ogata's skills with their own eyes.
Why did this group of people suddenly escape? Amachi didn't know.
She only knew that these people were part of the group that came to rob the village tonight and were enemies.
Although Atachi's beautiful appearance can easily give people the impression that she is a weak woman.
But in fact, her actual combat experience and the number of enemies who died at her hands were much stronger and more numerous than those samurai who only wielded the "Dojo Sword" in the dojo.
Many samurai who have only wielded a "dojo sword" may have never killed a chicken.
In the face of enemies, A-Machi is never merciful.
Alexey and his gang fled on horseback. Even if Ogata immediately mounted his horse, it would be difficult to catch up with them because the starting timing was behind Alexey and others.
So after seeing Alexei and others escaping, Amachi made an instant decision - he would help Ogata intercept them!
But this group of people was far away from A-Machi. This distance had exceeded So-Sakura's effective attack range. A-Machi was not sure that he could use So-Sakura to carry out accurate shooting at such a long distance.
At this moment, A-Ting suddenly remembered that she had just grabbed a new weapon.
A musket that, according to Vasily, can shoot a long distance.
There is a bullet inside this new weapon that I just grabbed.
Atachi quickly took off the Kentucky long rifle from his back, and then assumed his best and most accustomed shooting posture:
Sit on the ground with your buttocks open, your legs spread and your knees bent, your arms placed on your knees, your right hand holding a gun, and the gun resting on top of your left arm.
He pinched the wrist of his right hand with his left hand so that he could hold the gun more steadily later.
This posture of sitting on the ground, leaning sideways and shooting at the enemy has been "sealed" by A-Machi since he left Butterfly Island because he couldn't get a long-barrel musket.
Posing this familiar posture after a long time, A-Machi felt a different kind of intimacy.
This shooting posture is a posture that Atachi discovered by himself. It can hold the long musket more stably.
This is the first time Atachi has held and used the Kentucky Long Rifle.
The weight, center of gravity, and feel are all completely different from the muskets Amachi used before.
Therefore, Atachi cannot guarantee that he will be able to accurately hit the target he wants to shoot.
And whether this gun can really hit such a long distance as Vasili said before, A-Machi doesn't know.
With the mentality of "giving it a try", she aimed her gun at Alexei and others.
Atachi's target was Alexey's horse, which was running ahead.
Her purpose was to confuse these guys so that they could not escape in time.
Alexei's horse, which was running at the front, was naturally the best target.
After shooting Alexi's mount down, Alexi and the rest of the people behind him stumbled to the ground in one breath - this was the most ideal situation in Amachi's imagination, although whether this situation could
It depends on luck if it happens.
Relying on his previous experience with long-barreled muskets and his own intuition, A-Ting aimed the muzzle of his gun at the location where Alexei's horse would pass by at the next moment.
Then, as if all his strength was concentrated in his right index finger, he pulled the trigger hard.
boom!
The hot bullet spun out of the gun barrel and cut through the air.
"咴咴 咴 咴 咴 咴 咴 咴 咴 ..."
Alexei's horse screamed - the bullet fired by Atachi hit his left calf.
Alexei and the guards behind him were all thrown into the snow when Alexei's mount suddenly fell to the ground.
"It actually worked..." Amachi murmured as he released his shooting posture.
Although the location where the bullet hit was different from where A-Machi was aiming - A-Machi was aiming at the horse's belly, which is the largest area and easiest to hit, but the bullet hit the horse's calf.
But as far as the results are concerned, Atachi's goal of "confounding them" was completely achieved.
The first time he used the Kentucky Long Rifle, he was able to hit the enemy - even A-Machi was very surprised and surprised.
Atachi relied on his previous shooting experience and intuition to aim.
I don’t know whether it was due to my previous shooting experience or my intuition.
"It's amazing...it's actually possible to hit such a long distance..." Amachi murmured, gently stroking the body of the Kentucky long rifle in his hand.
…
…
"There is a new enemy to the west!"
Just when Ogata killed Vladimir with a single blow, Ogata's reminder from Amachi, who was lurking not far away, reached Ogata's ears.
In fact, Ogata didn't need Atachi's reminder - Ogata discovered Alexei and others the moment before Atachi issued the reminder.
After knocking Vladimir off his horse, Ogata swung his sword twice, killing Vladimir's only two remaining subordinates who were still alive - these two men couldn't keep up with Ogata's sword speed.
, unable to even raise a sword to defend, so he followed in the footsteps of Vladimir and the others.
When Ogata was about to concentrate on dealing with the sudden attack of Alexei and others, Alexei had already turned around and ran away because he followed his inner choice.
Alexei's sudden escape behavior directly put Ogata into a state of confusion.
Although this state of confusion only lasted for a moment.
Ogata hated this kind of gangster who insulted the weak.
Faced with the opportunity to catch up and wipe out all the enemies, Ogata really couldn't think of any reason to give up.
Therefore, Ogata, who was still standing on Vladimir's horse, did not hesitate too much - changed his standing to sitting and sat on the saddle.
Ogata was not stupid enough to use his own two legs to chase the enemy's four hooves.
Fortunately, Ogata was tall enough and his feet could not reach the saddle.
Ogata followed the riding skills he had learned from Mamiya and the others before, turning the horse's head towards the direction where Alexey and others were escaping, and then used his heel to move in a neither light nor heavy way.
The force knocked the horse's belly.
"Bah! Bah!"
The war horse let out a low neigh, and then carried Ogata like a sharp sword separated from the bowstring, and rushed towards Alexei and others.
After riding on this Don horse, which was used exclusively by the Cossacks, Ogata finally experienced the extraordinary power of this horse.
Whether it is explosive power or speed, it is far superior to the Japanese native horse Ogata rode before.
Compared with this hippopotamus, Japan's native horses are almost like donkeys.
Ogata also secretly felt lucky - fortunately, the horse he was riding now was a carefully trained horse, and he did not fall off the horse or disobey him just because a new person sat on his back.
Ogata's command.
Although this hippopotamus is indeed quite powerful.
But the horses Alexey and others rode were also Don horses.
The distance between Ogata and Alexey cannot be shortened in a short time.
Just as Ogata was thinking about what to do, he suddenly heard a gunshot from behind.
Then, the war horse under Alexei in front suddenly fell to the ground, tripping all the guards behind him with it.
Ogata could guess who made the gunshot without looking.
"Well done..."
After Ogata softly praised Omachi, he lightly knocked on the horse's belly again, increasing the speed of the horse under his crotch again.
The distance from Alexei and others who had fallen off their horses was shortened in one breath.
Ogata held the great freedom with the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and the remaining three fingers held the horse's reins.
The Great Buddha in his right hand was raised high, blocking the moonlight, and a huge shadow was cast on Alexei and others who had just climbed up from the ground.
laugh!
The sound of blood and bones being chopped off sounded.
The potential energy of the horse's charge, coupled with Ogata's swordsmanship, how powerful is it?
Ogata felt as if he was chopping a fragile piece of paper, and he easily chopped off the head of one of Alexei's guards.
This was Ogata's first time sitting on horseback to kill an enemy.
The most difficult thing about slashing an enemy while sitting on horseback is to find the right moment to draw the sword. Match the timing and speed of the sword to the speed of the horse beneath you.
But finding the time to draw the sword is nothing more than a simple matter for Ogata, who has experienced hundreds of battles, has extremely rich sword fighting experience, and has now entered the "selfless state".
After killing one of Alexei's guards with a single blow, Ogata reined in his horse and stopped the horse at his hip.
Although it is very powerful to kill enemies while riding on horseback, the efficiency of killing enemies is very low.
Even Ogata couldn't kill too many people at once with the horse galloping behind him.
If one were to deal with Alexey and the others on horseback, it would take several charges to kill them all.
Ogata turned over and dismounted, holding two swords in hand, and ran towards Alexei and others who were only a dozen steps away from him.
…
…
Falling off a horse running at high speed - if you are unlucky, you may fall to your death.
Alexey and the others were lucky - neither he nor his guards fell to death.
However, they all had varying degrees of injuries.
Alexei didn't know what the others were like.
All he knew was that his neck, chest, and right arm were in pain.
Although my neck hurts, my body can barely stand up, so I shouldn't be paralyzed.
Although my chest hurts, I can still breathe.
The injury to the right arm looked more serious.
The right arm is twisted from the elbow position to a position that is normally impossible to twist.
The broken bones pierced the skin and were exposed outside the body. Just looking at them made my hair stand on end.
But to say that Alexey and the others were lucky that they did not fall to death directly would be somewhat inaccurate.
Because Alexey reluctantly got up from the ground, he saw a man riding a horse from behind them, and then chopped off the head of a guard beside him with a knife.
It's the Japanese who just killed Vladimir and others instantly.
Then, Alexey saw the Japanese dismounting from his horse and galloping towards them...
…
…
Those who could still hold the sword hurriedly drew their sabers.
None of these people who had just fallen off their horses were in good health, and only half of them could pull out the swords properly.
Ogata didn't even look at these people drawing swords.
His eyes were fixed on Alexey the whole time - because Alexey was dressed in the most gorgeous clothes and did not look like a person of ordinary status.
Ogata decided to kill this guy who didn't look like an ordinary person first, and then slowly deal with the others.
But just when Ogata was about to rush to Alexei, Ogata's pupils suddenly shrank.
Because he saw Alexey with a look of resentment on his face, gritted his teeth, took out a pistol from his arms, and pointed the muzzle directly at Ogata.
After pointing the muzzle of his gun at Ogata, who was charging straight towards him, Alexei's eyes showed a look of triumph as if he had seen his plan succeed.
…
…
The muskets that are popular in Europe now are flintlock pistols that can only fire one round at a time.
No matter in terms of power or range, they are far inferior to long-barreled muskets.
Therefore, no matter which country it is, pistols have not been installed in the army on a large scale. Only those commanders will own pistols for self-defense and pretense.
The same goes for the Cossacks.
Only Cossacks of high status could own a pistol.
And Alexei happens to be one of the small group of people who are eligible to own a pistol.
Although pistols are far inferior to long-barrel muskets in terms of power and range, they are very suitable for use as concealed weapons because they are easy to carry.
Alexei has always regarded his only pistol as his ultimate weapon.
Alexey, who always loved to show off his military power, had never dared to tell others that he had actually defeated many people in many duels without spectators by relying on his pistol.
His favorite trick is to suddenly pull out a pistol and shoot at the opponent when he rushes towards him.
This move never fails, and the opponent is often killed by his gun because he has no time to react.
Alexey originally wanted to escape, but now the Japanese came to kill him - so Alexey decided not to make any reservations and directly used his strongest weapon against the Japanese.
boom!
The next moment Alexey pointed the gun at Ogata, he directly pulled the trigger.
…
…
When Ogata was surprised by Alexey who suddenly pulled out his pistol, he also felt...a strange sense of closeness.
Suddenly pulling out a gun on the enemy - isn't this Ogata's favorite thing to do?
There is a feeling of discovering something similar.
Driven by this strange feeling of closeness, Ogata decided to pay tribute to this "fellow friend" as a "pistol enthusiast"!
boom!
Alexey fired.
Ogata has his own ideas on how to dodge bullets and chop bullets, as well as the experience that Genichi taught him before.
Genichi once said to Ogata in Edo: As long as you focus on the muzzle of the iron cannon and the enemy's trigger-pulling action, and as long as your steps are more flexible, anyone can dodge bullets.
Ogata deeply agreed with what Genichi said.
No small move by Alexei could escape the eyes of Ogata, who had entered the "selfless state".
After keenly noticing that Alexei's right index finger began to bend, Ogata immediately took a step and stepped to the side.
The next moment Ogata stepped aside, the bullet shot out along the barrel and passed through the position where Ogata was standing just now.
Then, Ogata held the Great Freedom with the ring finger and little finger of his left hand, and stretched his thumb, index finger, and middle finger into his arms.
He took out his Kasumi Nagi.
Ogata decided to use his pistol to take advantage of this rare companion.
Let him see how a pistol is used.
Lift the gun, aim, and pull the trigger.
A gunshot sounded, much louder than the shot of Alexei's pistol.
At this distance, even Ogata would not miss the target.
Kasumi Nagi's bullet directly smashed Alexei's face, which still showed the proud expression of "the plan succeeded".
Because Ogata's movements were too fast, Alexei didn't react at all. He still had a proud look on his face until his head was blown open.
…
…
There is nothing to say about the scenes that happened next.
After killing Alexei with one shot, Ogata took Kasumi Nagi back into his arms, and then dodged and rushed into Alexei's still-living guards.
Ogata did not use haban.
The reason why we don't use the blade counter is also very simple.
Just to be able to use both knives for attack and get rid of these people faster.
Ogata opened his bow from left to right and used both swords in his hands to attack these people.
Every time Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai are wielded, a life will definitely be taken away.
In just two short breaths, Alexey and others were like Vladimir and others just now - they became corpses lying in the snow, and their body temperatures began to drop.
…
…
"Hahaha……"
Now that the battle has changed, Ogata's breathing has become slightly faster.
Ogata did not count how many people he and Atachi had killed so far.
However, there are still many Cossacks still living in the village.
Ogata turned to look at Alexei whose head was blown open.
This guy was just like the guy who was instantly killed by his sword. His status was not low at first sight. Although his head was blown off, his facial features could still be seen clearly.
Ogata planned to have people hold up the heads of Vladimir and Alexei, so that the remaining Cossacks who were still alive could see the heads of these two men, who were of high status, and this would dampen the morale of the surviving Cossacks.
Just when Ogata was thinking about whether to let Omachi be responsible for lifting the heads of these two people, Ogata suddenly heard an Ainu voice coming from his side:
"￥%#&*%￥!"
Looking sideways - a group of villagers are running towards Ogata with spears or bows and arrows on their faces.
Ogata looked closely and found that some of the faces of this group of Ainu looked a bit familiar - they seemed to be the people he had just rescued.
Just when Ogata was thinking about how to communicate with these villagers who suddenly arrived, a middle-aged man spoke in Japanese that was not very standard:
"Thank you. Thank you very much."
Ogata had some impression of this strong man. He seemed to be one of the people who had just been rescued by Ogata.
"You are welcome."
After Ogata briefly responded to the strong man who could speak Japanese by thanking him, he asked:
"What are you here for?"
"There are still many white-skinned thieves in the village." The strong man replied sonorously, "We haven't rested yet."
A simple sentence made it clear why they came - they wanted to continue fighting the incoming Cossacks, instead of hiding aside and watching Ogata fight alone.
Ogata glanced at the strong man for a few times with a hint of surprise, then turned his gaze and quickly scanned the faces of the villagers who suddenly rushed in front of him.
A faint smile appeared on the face that was too lazy to show any expression because it had entered the "selfless state".
The mental outlook of the villagers is very different from just now.
Most of the villagers Ogata met just now have lost their fighting spirit, with only anger, fear, and nervousness on their faces.
But now, the group of villagers in front of Ogata were all clenching the weapons in their hands, their faces full of high fighting spirit and excitement, and their scorching eyes like burning flames were focused on Ogata.
The reason why their mental outlook has undergone such a huge change is all because of Ogata.
Many of them were rescued by Ogata just now.
They witnessed with their own eyes the helpless appearance of the Cossacks when facing Ogata, and Ogata's heroic demeanor in killing the Cossacks like he was chopping melons and vegetables.
It was like a sudden burst of fire dispelling the darkness.
The appearance of Ogata rekindled their passion for survival and their will to fight.
And Ogata also became their backbone invisibly.
Ogata also had some respect for these villagers who did not wait for others to save them.
And these villagers who came suddenly also helped Ogata a lot.
Ogata is now thinking about how to let the Cossacks who are still alive see the two guys he just killed who look like commanders.
…
…
Ogata chopped off the heads of Vladimir and Alexei, and then asked the villagers who were aroused to fight to lift them up with spears.
It's a pity that none of them speak Lucian.
If you shout "Your general has been asked for by us" in Lucian language, it will have a better effect on morale.
The villagers, who regained their fighting spirit, followed Ogata and pursued the Cossacks who were still alive.
The faces of the only remaining people changed drastically after seeing the heads of Vladimir and Alexey being held high.
Their morale dropped like an avalanche, and their fighting spirit melted as quickly as spring snow.
They screamed in fear and fled on horseback.
But Ogata and the others stuck closely behind them, chasing them and beating them fiercely.
Poisoned arrows flew out one after another, shooting down the panicked Cossacks.
Prey and hunter - the identities between the two were reversed in a very short period of time.
…
…
Qina Village, the home of village chief Chepke——
"Grandpa!" A pretty girl who was in her prime and had no tattoos on her face looked at the left arm of the old man in front of her that was bleeding continuously, her face full of tears.
This old man is none other than Chepke, the head of Qina Village.
And this girl, who is in her prime of life, is Chepke’s granddaughter.
"It's okay..." Chepke tried his best to smile at his granddaughter, "It's just a minor injury."
Although he said "It's okay", his pale face didn't look like someone who was okay at all.
Just now, his left shoulder was struck by a Cossack's saber, and the blood stained his entire left arm and the clothes on his left hand red along the wound.
Just when the Cossack was about to inflict another blow on Chepke, fortunately, the poisonous arrow shot by his only son successfully attacked the Cossack, otherwise Chepke's life would have been sealed.
After rescuing his father, Chepke's son took charge of Chepke and temporarily hid in their home.
Chepke's daughter-in-law and granddaughter did not know how to shoot arrows, so after the group of Cossacks attacked, the mother and daughter hid in a hidden part of the house.
When Chepke's son helped the injured Chepke return home, Chepke's daughter-in-law and granddaughter were so frightened that they turned pale.
That's why the granddaughter is crying now.
"Father..." the son whispered to Chepke with a serious look on his face, "What should we... do now?"
Hearing his son's question, Chepke couldn't help but tighten his lips, and his face became heavy.
Chepke's head is actually still in a state of confusion.
He still doesn't understand why the muskets used by these white-skinned people are so powerful.
The main reason why their Qina Village army was defeated tonight was because their bows and arrows were no match for the muskets of those white-skinned strangers.
As far as Chepke knew, muskets should be powerful, but their range and accuracy are a mess, and they are not much better than bows and arrows.
The barrages he saw tonight stunned Chepke.
Chepke raised his head and listened to the movement outside the house.
Now we can no longer hear many screams from the villagers of Qina Village.
Only the sound of the snow being trampled and a faint cheer could be heard.
——Everyone... was almost killed...
Chepke cried out sadly in his heart.
As the head of Qina Village, Chepke now only feels extremely sad.
There were not many screams from the villagers anymore - the only explanation that Chepke could think of was that all the villagers were almost killed...
The faint cheers that hit my ears must have come from those white-skinned bastards.
While feeling sad, Chepke also felt a deep sense of powerlessness - as the village chief, he was unable to lead the villagers to resist foreign aggression.
"...Qilu."
Chepke called his son's name, then glanced at his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter in front of him - looking at his only three family members, and then continued word by word:
"Everyone else has probably been killed."
"You three, run away."
"I'll cover you."
As soon as Chepke finished speaking, his son immediately said urgently:
"Father, no! If you want to escape, let's escape together!"
"What stupid words are you talking about!" Chepke scolded his son sharply, "If there is no one to help cover him, he will not be able to escape at all."
"I'm bleeding a lot now, and my head is starting to feel dizzy."
"It's most appropriate for me, who is already injured, to take charge of the cover."
"I'll try to attract the attention of those white-skinned bastards later."
"You should take the opportunity to pick up our dog sled."
"The dogs we have at home may still be alive."
"You just ride on the dog sled and escape. The farther you can escape, the better."
"You can go to Kuma Village or anywhere else."
The son was just about to speak out again to persuade his father to escape with them and not to think about it.
But after meeting his father's eyes, he felt that thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word. He lowered his head and wept silently.
Chepke's daughter-in-law also cried together.
There is an atmosphere of sadness in the air.
"Grandpa." Chepke's granddaughter is also a 14-year-old girl. She is not a child who doesn't understand anything. She naturally knows what will happen to Chepke if he stays to cover for them.
Looking at his granddaughter who was crying like a little cat, Chepke put on a gentle expression.
"Don't cry. I was just a step behind you in escaping."
"After I cover the escape of the three of you, I will follow you."
"So now you just run away with your parents, okay?"
"Well..." The granddaughter, whose face was covered with tears, bit her lower lip and nodded gently, stretching out her arms to hug Chepke.
"Grandpa, you must keep up from now on. After I... I still want to continue to listen to you tell me about those heroic epics passed down from generation to generation..."
With a gentle smile on his face, Chepke hugged his granddaughter.
"Okay. I promise you. I will definitely follow you later, and then I will continue to tell you about the heroic epics passed down from generation to generation."
The granddaughter's eyes were already red from crying.
After Chepke whispered "one day" again, the tenderness in the smile on his face became a little stronger.
After letting go of his granddaughter, Chepke turned to hug his son.
"Father, I love you." Chepke's son hugged Chepke tightly, crying and saying affectionately.
"I love you too. My son. You must live."
Chepke knew that this might be the last time he hugged his family.
Therefore, Chepke also decided to say all the things he had never dared to say to his family in one breath, so as not to leave any regrets.
"Son, I'm sorry. In fact... Binqi died because of me. I was greedy for easy things, so I fed him stinky meat..."
Binky - a dog owned by Chepke's son.
A month ago, I suddenly had a fever and then died.
No one knows why Binchy behaves this way - except for Chepke.
Because the day before Binqi became ill, Chepke fed Binqi the smelly meat in order to save trouble and meat.
Chepke never knew how to speak, so he kept the matter hidden from his son.
But now that he was almost dead, Chepke had nothing to worry about.
The son was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:
"Father, it's okay."
After letting go of his son, Chepke began to hug his daughter-in-law.
"Pali." Chepke whispered his daughter-in-law's name, "I love you."
"Father, I love you too."
"Pali, I'm sorry...".
Chepke decided to take this opportunity to tell his daughter-in-law the same thing that he had never dared to tell.
"The wine your parents gave us before was actually drunk by me secretly... I originally just wanted to take a sip, but after taking a sip, I found that it tasted so good, so I decided to drink more to regain my senses.
By then, I had already finished drinking..."
The daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"Father, it's okay."
After saying these two things that he had been accumulating in his heart and never dared to say in one breath, Chepke felt that his whole body weight had become lighter and he was in an extremely happy mood.
He has no regrets.
Son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter - after everyone hugged each other vigorously, Chepke grabbed the spear next to him with his uninjured right hand with a determined expression.
"let's go."
Chepke said.
"I'm going to help you attract those white-skinned bastards."
"Watch the right moment and go sledding!"
After finishing speaking, Chepke clutched his spear tightly and strode out of the house with a sad and firm look on his face.
However - after rushing out of the house, the scene that appeared in front of Chepke and others made their expressions freeze.
Ogata, who was half-clothed and his skin was splattered with blood, was standing not far away with a knife in hand.
Behind him were some villagers with very excited expressions.
"Village Chief!" a villager shouted excitedly, "I finally found you!"
"we won!"
"Thanks to Kazuto! The thieves were defeated! We won!"
The villagers cheered one after another.
And Chepke's expression also changed rapidly.
He looked ecstatic at first.
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, his expression suddenly froze.
The expression of ecstasy slowly turned into a weird and embarrassing expression that is difficult to describe in words...
Now...he doesn't dare to look back at his son and daughter-in-law behind him...

A-Machi is a kunoichi and has been trained as a ninja since she was a child, so she naturally doesn't have a figure with a lot of fat on her body.
As for Atachi's figure, you can imagine it to be Tifa's figure.
What? You don’t know Tifa? Well, it’s normal that you don’t know. After all, my wife is not a household name and is known to everyone on the road. If you don’t know what my wife’s figure is like, you can go to Baidu.
A-Machi's figure is similar to Tifa, there is no fat on the waist, only a tight waistcoat
