Chapter 527 Get out of the way, you are blocking my way. [5000 words]
Coach camp
"Uncle, uncle...!" When several soldiers were preparing to carry Mogami away on the wooden plank, Mogami endured the severe pain in his chest and asked the god beside him, "Um...
Could it be that the guy who broke into our...camp...is really...that Ogata Ittosai...? Is he planning to...come to kill me?"
Although he tried his best to control it, there was still a hint of fear in Mogami's eyes uncontrollably.
Because of his extremely flustered mood, Mogami didn't even care that Qiuyue and other outsiders were present, and called Sheng Tianmu "uncle".
At this time, he is no longer like a young talent who has attracted much attention and is surrounded by stars, but a child who longs to be protected by his elders.
Mogami, who was born into a famous family of the Sendai clan, has been blessed with unimaginable resources since he was a child.
Excellent family genes gave him a tall figure that far exceeded the average for this era.
Eating high-quality meals will keep your body stronger than most of your peers.
We can invite excellent spear masters to teach spear skills in person.
When you reach adulthood, you don't need to do anything more. Just by virtue of your background, you can obtain a high official position and a generous salary in the Sendai Domain.
After he became an official, his career was always smooth because his uncle Sheng Tianmu secretly supported him.
Mogami had never suffered any setbacks until yesterday.
Yesterday, Mogami felt for the first time what it felt like to "almost die"...
The image of Ogata charging straight at him with his sword, and being almost killed by the formation, was deeply etched in the depths of Mogami's mind... Mogami felt that he would never forget this image in his life, and when he recalled it, he felt a rush all over his body.
Cold sweat...
As of yesterday, Mogami could still confidently shout: "A samurai should become a 'death maniac' and should be fanatical about death! Not afraid of death!"
But after what happened yesterday where he almost went to see Amaterasu, Mogami no longer dared to shout these words confidently...
He already knows what "death" is and how terrifying "death" is. He already knows the horror of death and the beauty of life.
When I think of Ogata Ittosai coming to seek revenge, I feel only fear and panic.
He had long forgotten about the "dignity of a warrior".
"...Mogami, calm down." Ikutenmu said in a deep voice, "It is not yet known whether the incoming enemy is Ogata Ittosai."
"Even if Ogata Ittousai really comes to kill us, we don't need to be afraid of him! No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person. With an army of 3,000, there is no reason why we should lose to Ittousai alone."
The number "3000" seemed to have some magic power, calming Mogami's panicked heart.
Sheng Tianmu also seized this opportunity and shouted loudly to the soldiers who were responsible for carrying Mogami away:
"Take him away!"
"yes!"
These soldiers carried the top lying on the wooden board and walked quickly away from the commander's tent with humming sounds.
"Lord Ikutenmu" watched Mogami being carried away, Tiandao asked in a long tone, "Can you tell us what missions we have? Don't tell us: There are three of us."
Just stay in the coach's tent and pick your nose."
After that, Tiandaochao sat opposite him, and Qiuyue and Kuroda, who like him had not received any tasks in the military meeting just now, pursed their lips.
Sheng Tianmu turned his back and walked slowly towards a corner of the coach's camp.
There is a gun rack in the corner of the coach's camp.
There is a crimson-colored Sanjian gun inserted into the gun rack, which is exactly the favorite gun of Sheng Tianmu: Jihen.
Sheng Tianmu grabbed his beloved gun with one hand.
"...Of course you three have a mission." Sheng Tianmu said in a calm tone, "You three will go with me to intercept the thieves who are attacking the camp."
Qiuyue, Kuroda, and Tiandao's expressions changed one after another as Sheng Tianmu's words fell.
However, the facial expressions of the three people changed in different ways.
Tiandao became excited and excited.
Qiuyue was surprised.
Kuroda frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.
"Sir Sheng Tianmu." Qiuyue asked, "Shall the four of us come together?"
"The opponent is most likely Ogata Ittousai." Sheng Tianmu said quietly, "Since we are Ogata Ittousai as our opponent, no matter how hard we prepare, it is not too much."
"...I see." Kuroda's slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed at this moment, "Sir Tenmu-sama, you just asked Kasuga and Yokoyama to mobilize soldiers because you planned to fight with the three of us.
Shall we lead these soldiers together to intercept the thieves who broke into the camp?"
Sheng Tianmu nodded: "That's right."
Due to Ogata's mistake, he chose an excellent opportunity to attack.
At this moment, not only is the mist filling the air, but it is also the moment when all the senior generals in the military camp are gathering together to discuss military affairs.
A large part of the reason why the camp is in such chaos under the attack of just one person is because the senior generals are no longer in charge of the troops they command, and there is no backbone to command.
Except for the dozen guards currently guarding the entrance of the commander's camp, Sheng Tianmu, Qiuyue and the others did not have any soldiers on hand who could quickly mobilize to fight.
Therefore, when Sheng Tianmu just issued a series of orders to the generals in the camp, he ordered Kasuga and Yokoyama to quickly mobilize the troops and gather here at the commander's camp. The former was responsible for mobilizing iron gunners and archers, and the latter was responsible for mobilizing infantry.
The Sendai Domain sent out a large number of troops, so the senior generals were not limited to the "Sendai Seven Guns". There were also several senior generals, Kasuga and Yokoyama, who were not "Senshu Seven Guns" but were qualified to participate in high-level military meetings.
Be part of it.
Both Kasuga and Yokoyama were talented people who were highly appreciated by Tenmu, so Tenmu gave them the important task of mobilizing troops.
"...So we still have to wait for the soldiers to assemble first?" Tiandao curled his lips displeased, "It's really troublesome..."
"Tiandao." Shengtian glanced at Tiandao, "If you think you have the ability to intercept the incoming thief single-handedly, I won't stop you. You can just leave here now and go find the thief."
"But don't blame me for not warning that the thief who is causing trouble in our camp is most likely Ogata Ittosai."
Having said that, Sheng Tianmu stopped talking to Tiandao, hugged his beloved gun, calmly sat back to his seat, closed his eyes, and rested his mind.
Upon hearing what Sheng Tianmu had just said, Tiandao was startled for a moment, and then showed anger on his face.
"Then I will go and get the head of the thief who dared to break into our camp now!" Tiandao originally wanted to shout to Sheng Tianmu.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, words came to his throat, but he couldn't get them out.
Because the words that the Third Eye had just spoken to him kept echoing in his mind.
Every time the words Sheng Tianmu just said echoed in his mind, the hesitation on his face became more intense.
In the end, Tiandao chose to shut his mouth.
With a displeased look on his face, he crossed his arms and sat on the chair without saying a word.
…
…
"ha……"
As Ogata ran quickly, he put his right hand holding the sword to his lips and breathed heat into his right palm.
It's still snowing now, and little snowflakes are falling on Ogata's right hand that has to be exposed to the sky because he holds the sword.
The snowflakes that fell on my right hand melted and took away the warmth of my right hand.
In order to prevent his hand from freezing and affecting his swing of the sword, Ogata had to breathe hot air into his right hand from time to time.
My left hand has always been hidden in the wide sleeves, so I don't need to breathe to maintain body temperature.
"Please...ha...please slow down...ha...a little bit...!" Sakaguchi, who was following Ogata closely, covered his side that was so painful that it was about to burst, while posing as if he wanted to
With a crying face, he was out of breath and begged Ogata in front of him, "I...I...ha...run...don't move...ha...stop..."
Unlike monsters like Ogata, whose physical strength and vitality have long been elevated to extremely abnormal levels, Sakaguchi is just an ordinary person.
Ever since he and Ogata started breaking into the camp, they had been sprinting left and right in the camp at a speed of 100 meters, almost without stopping.
The reason why he has been able to survive until now is because the desire to survive is at work.
Last night, Ogata ordered Sakaguchi to take off all the armor on the grounds that "wearing armor would bring a great burden to Radish", so Sakaguchi is now wearing ordinary civilian clothes.
Sakaguchi was very glad that he did not have any armor on him at the moment. Otherwise, if he was running at such a high intensity while wearing armor, no matter how strong his desire to survive, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.
But at the same time, he felt unfortunate that he was not wearing armor now...
Being in the now panicked camp, the sound of roars, the shaking of armor and weapons...these sounds have been stimulating Sakaguchi's nerves...
Sakaguchi is now extremely afraid that he will be accidentally killed by cold arrows and cold guns without armor for protection...
Naturally, Ogata ignored Sakaguchi's request to slow down.
Ogata's mind remained sober and calm from the beginning to the end, and precisely because he remained sober and calm, he knew very well that he could not slow down now.
The reason why he was able to charge into the camp and kill the generals so smoothly at present was because two things played a big role: the lingering mist and the fact that the generals in the camp had not had time to react.
There is no need to elaborate on the role played by the pervasive sunset that obscures people's sight.
Although on the surface, this is a 1vs3000 battle, it actually doesn't count that way.
The 3,000 generals in this camp are now scattered everywhere instead of all concentrated in one place, so Ogata essentially only needs to defeat all the generals standing between him and Mogami Yoshihisa.
If Ogata's pace is slow, leaving too much time for the opponent to deploy troops, then there will be more and more soldiers blocking Ogata's front, and it will become more and more disadvantageous for Ogata.
Therefore, Ogata must play "quick attack" and his steps must not be slowed down no matter what.
After ignoring Sakaguchi's request to "slow down", Ogata continued to follow the direction pointed by Sakaguchi and headed straight for the commander's camp.
Finally, through the thin evening mist, Ogata finally saw that right in front, there was a large tent that was far larger and more imposing than the other tents next to it.
Next to this big tent stands a tall flagpole.
On the flagpole, a military flag with a "three-leaf sunflower pattern" representing the Edo shogunate was rolled lazily in the morning breeze.
Ogata happened to be facing the opening of the big tent, and a dozen soldiers holding long spears were guarding the opening.
When Ogata saw the dozen guards guarding the tent, these dozen guards also spotted Ogata.
Ogata saw with his own eyes the dozens of guards in a chaotic mess, and then one of them hurriedly turned around and rushed into the grand tent behind him.
…
…
"My lord! My lord!" A guard hurriedly rushed into the camp, "Yes, there is a man covered in blood approaching here!"
Upon hearing the guard's words, Sheng Tianmu, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes.
"...Damn it." Sheng Tianmu gritted his teeth, "You actually came here to kill..."
Qiuyue, Kuroda, and Tiandao looked at each other, and uncontrollable looks of surprise appeared on their faces.
"You actually came here..." Kuroda murmured, "Our troops haven't even had time to assemble..."
Neither Sheng Tianmu nor Qiuyue and the others expected that Ogata would not only come to their coach's camp, but also do so at such a fast speed.
The generals they sent to mobilize and assemble the troops have not returned yet...
"...You guys come with me." Sheng Tianmu put away the surprise and shock on his face, held his love gun and walked quickly outside the tent.
Qiuyue, Kuroda, and Tiandao looked at each other, nodded solemnly, and then stood up and followed behind Sheng Tianmu.
…
…
When he was still nearly 20 steps away from the grand tent, Ogata suddenly saw someone walking out of the grand tent.
And it's not just 1 person, but 4 people.
The four people were surprisingly dressed in the same clothes, all wearing red and black armors and armors.
The leader of the four people was a veteran in his 40s with gray hair and beard. He was holding a red Sanma Gun in his hand.
The three people following him were all much younger, probably over 20 years old and under 30 years old.
Ogata looked closely and found that one of the three young generals was Akizuki, whom Ogata knew, who he had met once before in Nishikino Town.
The veteran holding the red three-gun was also born in Tianmu and looked at Ogata, who was close enough to see each other's faces clearly.
Although there was a lot of blood splattered on the face of the person in front of him, Neng Tianmu could still identify: the face of the person in front of him was exactly the same as the face painted on Ogata Ittousai's wanted notice.
Although he had been mentally prepared, after confirming the identity of the thief, Sheng Tianmu could not help but feel his heart sinking.
This time when he broke into the camp, Ogata did not make any external cover-up because there was no need to cover up.
When Mogami defeated Mogami's troops yesterday, Mogami had already recognized Ogata.
Since everyone in this camp most likely learned from Mogami that the person who injured him was Ogata Issei, there was no need to do anything to cover it up.
Ogata no longer cares whether his future bounty will become 1,000 taels or 2,000 taels.
Sheng Tianmu took a deep breath
"Qiuyue, Kuroda, Tiandao, follow me!"
After saying that, Sheng Tianmu shook the gun in his hand, changed the gun from one hand to two hands, and pointed the gun head directly at Ogata.
As soon as he stepped on his back foot, a large amount of snow on the ground flew into the air, and Sheng Tianmu stepped on the snow and rushed towards Ogata.
As for Qiuyue, Kuroda, and Tiandao who were standing behind Sheng Tianmu, they were members of the "Xianzhou Seven Guns", so naturally they were not slow-responsive people.
As early as when Sheng Tianmu asked the three of them to go out with him when they were still in the tent, the three of them had roughly guessed what Sheng Tianmu wanted to do.
After Ing Tenme's words fell, the three of them each grabbed a spear from the guard beside them, and then rushed towards Ogata from four directions along with Ing Tenme.
Four generals wearing powerful armor of the same color and style, carrying long spears, came towards them. Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.
Ogata, who had gone through hundreds of battles and fought against all kinds of masters, could tell just from the posture of these four people charging forward with guns in hand that they were not just ordinary people.
The attack range of the spear is so wide.
When there was still nearly 3 meters between Ogata and Ikutenmu, Ikutenmu shook out the Kahi in his hand and controlled the gun blade to sweep towards Ogata's calf.
The Tenmei's spear was very fast, but not so fast that Ogata couldn't parry it.
Ogata quickly stopped, took a lower stance, and swung his blade to meet the spearhead swept by Nagotenmu.
clang!
The sound of gold and iron striking against each other was enough to make one's scalp numb. Ogata successfully opened the head of the Ikutenmu's spear.
As soon as the spear head of Sheng Tianmu opened, another... no, it was a full three spears that came towards Ogata. Qiuyue, Kuroda, and Tiandao moved the guns in their hands and aimed at Ogata from three different directions.
Fang launched a stabbing attack.
Ogata did not receive these three thrusts forcefully, but used stepping steps and retreated a few steps to dodge the thrusts of Qiuyue and the others.
After seeing that they had succeeded in forcing Ogata back, Qiuyue and the others did not hesitate to fight. They quickly picked up their guns and returned to Naotenme. Together with Naotenmu, they formed a horn formation and launched a semicircular encirclement against Ogata.
Ogata stabilized his body, which was a little unstable due to his rapid retreat.
Stretching out the five fingers of his right hand, which were slightly numb from the forceful slashing of the Tenmu, Ogata glanced at the four generals in front of him with calm eyes.
The four generals in front of him were wearing mighty battle armor. They were all not short in stature. Sheng Tianmu and Qiuyue were even taller. They were both holding spears that were constantly flashing with cold light. At first glance, they looked very similar.
The four warrior gods descended to the mortal world.
For an ordinary person, standing in front of these four extremely intimidating generals, it would be extremely difficult for him to stand firm.
But Ogata's expression remained normal.
He held the knife and stood naturally.
"Get out of the way, you're blocking my way."
In a calm tone, he spoke words like commands to the four warriors in front of him who were like warrior gods descending from the earth.
