Chapter 655 Crisis! Da Shitian and Da Zizai were robbed! 【5400】
In just a moment, Ogata's forehead broke out into thin cold sweat due to pain.
This is the first time that Ogata... suffered a sudden attack of "immortal poison" while fighting someone.
Ogata originally thought that like when he and Isshikika were wandering around Osaka a few days ago, the "immortal poison" would suddenly attack, and then return to normal.
But unexpectedly, the pain that emerged from various parts of the body not only did not slowly dissipate, but seemed to become more and more severe...
"Whirring whirring……"
Ogata took several deep breaths to steady his mind, which was slightly shaken by this sudden turn of events.
While enduring the physical discomfort caused by the recurrence of "immortal poison", are you fighting a large group of enemies with flintlock guns... Don't be kidding...
Although he said "Don't be ridiculous" in his heart, Ogata's eyes gradually became firm and sharp.
There was no trace of depression or panic on his face.
Now that the "immortal poison" suddenly breaks out... it is even more important to deal with it quickly...!
Although the enemy has more than 60 people, armed with extremely advanced flintlock rifles, with a large number of people and powerful firepower, they have their advantages, and Ogata also has Ogata's advantages. In terms of terrain and experience, Ogata has the advantage.
.
This group of musketeers stood in the middle of a street lined with houses.
If he were to confront the more than 60 musketeers who were waiting in full formation on an open plain with no obstacles around him, Ogata would have basically nothing to do except "temporarily avoid their sharp edges."
But in this complex terrain here and now, Xu has many offensive and defensive options.
As for "how to fight against musketeers in such a place with many obstacles," Ogata had already accumulated considerable experience in fighting the group of Cossacks who attacked Qina Village in Ezo.
After Ogata took a deep breath, he quickly switched his breathing rhythm to the breathing rhythm of "Breath of the Source".
[Ding! The host enters the realm of selflessness!]
Ogata is anxious to go back to the hotel to check on the situation of Atachi and the others. At the same time, the "immortal poison" in his body happens to be acting right now. Now he just wants to defeat the enemies outside the alley as soon as possible.
Therefore, he does not intend to make any reservations in terms of strength.
Moreover, facing more than 60 well-trained musketeers holding flintlock rifles, Ogata did not dare to have any confidence.
It would be fine if it were 2, 3 or 3, 4 flintlock muskets.
But the current enemy had more than 60 flintlock guns... Even with the advantage of the terrain, Ogata could not defeat more than 60 enemies holding flintlock guns without entering the ordinary state of "selflessness".
As soon as the system sound prompting us to enter the "selfless realm" fell, Xu Fangfei jumped in.
Relying on the status bonus granted by the "Selfless Realm", Ogata easily climbed up to the second-floor window sill of a seemingly abandoned house next to the alley.
Then he used the window edge as a foothold, jumped up again, and jumped onto the roof of the house.
This group of musketeers of unknown origin are indeed well-trained.
As soon as Ogata appeared on the roof of the building, the musketeers standing in the first row immediately raised their flintlock rifles and pointed them at Ogata who jumped onto the roof.
"Shoot!" Sakuma, who was standing at the back of the gun array and commanding the battle, shouted decisively.
The gunfire, like exploding beans, exploded again, and another row of bullets flew towards Ogata.
In the exact same scene as before, this row of bullets still only hit the air.
When Ogata's body fell on the roof, he ran along the roof toward the west without stopping.
To the west is where the Musketeers are.
Facing Ogata who was running towards them, some of the more than 60 musketeers showed a little panic uncontrollably on their faces.
However, although their expressions were a little shaken, their movements were still orderly.
The musketeers in the first row exchanged the empty guns in their hands with the ready-to-fire guns in the palms of the musketeers in the second row behind them.
Although these musketeers were trained by British army instructors, under Sakuma's order, they did not use the most advanced "line tactics" in the West to deal with Ogata, but adopted the classical "three
"Segment attack" tactics.
The so-called "line tactics" are currently the most advanced and popular tactics in the West.
At this time, the West no longer used swords, guns, swords and halberds, and flintlocks became the most mainstream weapons in Western countries.
Although the performance of flintlock guns far exceeds that of matchlocks, their accuracy is still extremely poor.
In order to make up for the disadvantage in the accuracy of flintlock muskets, line tactics came into being. Musketeers lined up in a tight queue, and then fired at the enemy together. Hundreds or thousands of bullets flew past together, and they could always hit some.
enemy.
The popularity of "line tactics" made the scenes on Western battlefields of this era a little comical at first glance: soldiers from both armies lined up in tight formations, shooting at each other face to face.
However, it is this seemingly funny tactic that maximizes the power of the flintlock gun, making the military capabilities of Western countries unique in the world.
In "Line Tactics", the soldiers all fire at the same time and then load their ammunition at the same time. Unlike "three-stage attack", several rows of soldiers alternately load and fire to ensure that the barrage does not stop.
The reason for this is very simple. Let the soldiers fire together to make the sound louder, which can cause greater damage to the enemy at one time and bring greater shock to the enemy.
Just think about it: Do you feel a greater psychological impact when you see your companions fall down one by one, or do you feel a greater psychological impact when you see your companions fall down in large groups?
But tactics are dead and people are alive.
The "line tactic" of soldiers firing guns at the same time works well on a battlefield where large-scale musketeers are fighting, but it is not so easy to deal with Ogata now.
Because now they only need to deal with Ogata alone.
In this situation of "only one person needs to be hit", "firepower" is not the most important, but "consistency of firepower" is the most important.
That's why Sakuma adopted the "three-shot" tactic, which didn't have strong firepower, but could make the barrage continue.
These musketeers change guns very quickly.
But in the "selfless state", Ogata's reaction and speed are faster.
He spotted the gap between the musketeers in the first row and the musketeers in the second row, and stretched his left hand, which was not holding the knife, into his arms.
He took out the short blunderbuss he had received from the Cossacks that could only fire a single shot, but was extremely powerful: Mei Ran.
Taking out the gun, raising the gun, and shooting Ogata completed this series of actions in less than a second.
His purpose is to frighten the enemy.
So he didn't take aim and just shot blindly at the crowd.
Ogata was very lucky. Although he fired randomly without careful aim, the bullet luckily hit a musketeer on the forehead.
The back of this musketeer's head looked like a half-broken watermelon, and the strange liquid mixed with blood and brain sprayed all over the faces of his companions behind him.
Immediately afterwards, the group showed the reaction Ogata expected.
Facing Ogata who suddenly took out a pistol and launched a long-range attack on them, the enemies all showed more or less panic, and the original tight formation also became a little more scattered.
This is the tactic designed by Ogata: to launch unexpected attacks on these enemies who are obviously inexperienced in actual combat, causing them to lose their position.
Sure enough, they are helping novices who lack practical experience and are therefore not good at handling emergencies.
After feeling this emotion in his heart, Ogata was filled with anger, poured strength into his feet, and then jumped from top to bottom on the roof towards the enemies who had not yet regained their composure.
There was a distance of nearly 8 meters between him and this group of enemies.
It is impossible for ordinary people to jump across such a distance.
But Ogata in the "selfless state" is obviously not in the category of "ordinary people".
Ogata, holding the sword with one hand, jumped down in mid-air like a roc, and then landed firmly among the enemy group.
Sakuma and Baigo, who were responsible for directing the battle, were now wide-eyed in shock.
They never expected that Ogata had the ability to attack from a distance.
At the same time, they did not expect that Ogata could leap 8 meters in one breath.
Successfully jumped into the enemy group.
What you need to do next is much simpler.
laugh!
The sword in Ogata's right hand drew an arc from bottom to top. The blade cut into the chin of "enemy 1" in front of him, and then struck out from the top of his head.
[Ding! Use Sakakibara Itto-style to climb the building and kill the enemy]
[Earn 80 personal experience points and 80 swordsmanship "Sakakibara Itto-ryu" experience points]
[Current personal level: LV40 (2590/6400)]

While attacking the enemy with a sword with his right hand, Ogata's left hand pulled out the wakizashi from the waist of "Enemy 2" on the left.
suck……
Ogata took a deep breath.
Wu-I Two Swordsman Style·Starfall.
The two consecutive slashing skills of the 7-slash Cicada Rain and the 13-slash Hoshiruo Muga Ryuto-ryu are rarely used by Ogata because they are rarely used in situations where they can be used.
The biggest difference between Cicada Rain and Xingluo is the 7 knives struck by the former. Some are fast, some are slow, some are heavy, and some are light. They use attacks that are fast, slow, heavy, and light to confuse the opponent. This is suitable for
Used when fighting against others.
Xingluo, on the other hand, struck out 13 slashes in one go at the fastest speed.
It is suitable for suppressing the opponent in a one-on-one duel, and also suitable for knocking down as many enemies as possible in one go when there are many enemies.
Ogata's katana on his right hand and the wakizashi on his left hand cooperated with each other to draw 13 sword rays one by one.
13 sword lights enveloped all the enemies around Ogata.
The light of the sword dispersed, and all 10 enemies who happened to be standing within Ogata's attack range fell to the ground due to critical injuries from the sword.
Intense system prompts sounded.
[Ding! Use the Wuwo sword flow·Xingluo to kill the enemy]
[Acquire 70 personal experience points and 70 experience points for the swordsmanship "Wuwo Sword Style"]
[Ding! When the experience points are full, the level of Wuwo Swordsman style will be upgraded by 1 level, and 2 skill points will be obtained]
[Currently remaining skill points: 7 points]
…
[Current personal level: LV40 (3490/6400)]
[Wuwo Knife Style Level: 13th Stage (120/16000)]
The system prompt for the upgrade of Wuwo Er Dao Flow sounded for the first time in a long time.
However, at this time, Ogata simply did not have the time to savor this joy.
After cutting down 10 enemies in one breath, Ogata threw the katana in his right hand towards the ground, and then quickly grabbed the katana from the waist of the enemy next to him who had just been slashed by him and was now falling to the ground.
knife.
When changing the knife, Ogata did not forget to say one sentence in his heart:
The quality of cheap goods is really hard to compliment...
Just now, he used Starfall to kill the enemies around him. When he hit the sixth enemy, Ouri clearly felt that the sword in his hand was no longer so useful.
However, after only killing a few people, the blade of the knife was no longer sharp because it was coated with too much grease.
The worse the quality of the knife, the easier it is for the blade to be covered with grease.
Although the katana can no longer be used, the wakizashi in his left hand that he snatched from the enemy could still be used for a while due to its excellent quality, so Ogata just replaced the katana.
When changing the knife, Ogata couldn't help but glance at the wakizashi on his left hand and frowned slightly:
The swords used by these people...the quality is much better than I imagined...they can actually equip such good sabers...Who are these people...
Although the swords used by these musketeers are not one-in-a-million swords, they are undoubtedly high-quality. When sold on the market, there is no problem in selling them for 20 to 30 taels.
To be able to make so many people have such a high-quality katana and wakizashi...Ogata wants to know more and more who is the mastermind behind this group of people.
When Ogata just jumped into the queue of musketeers, Sakuma's expression was extremely ugly, and there was hesitation in his eyes.
It wasn't until Ogata knocked down a large number of the musketeers like melons and vegetables, that the hesitation in Sakuma's eyes finally dissipated.
He took out a strange-looking whistle
Beep!
He put the whistle to his lips and blew hard, making a sharp whistle.
After blowing the whistle, Sakuma turned around decisively and ran away.
It's not just him running away.
The worshipers beside him and the musketeers not far away all put away their weapons and fled in different directions.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ogata was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened.
These people are not fleeing.
But an orderly retreat.
These people dispersed into a dozen groups and retreated in an orderly manner in different directions.
Under normal circumstances, Ogata might have chosen a group of enemies to pursue, then captured a few alive and asked for information from their mouths.
But he doesn't have the leisure or time now.
I don't have the leisure and time to go to Yu Er to get the sword again, and I don't have the leisure and practice to pursue these enemies again.
He was now anxious to return to the hotel to check on Atachi and the others.
If he goes back a little late, there might be something unexpected happening to Atachi and the others.
Therefore, seeing these enemies retreating on their own initiative, Ogata did not pursue them. He put away his swords, and while guarding the surroundings, he sprinted away along the way he came.
As he walked away quickly, Ogata subconsciously raised his left hand and covered the left side of his neck, frowning and clenching his teeth.
Ogata could clearly feel the pain radiating from various parts of his body, which was getting stronger and stronger.
And I feel like my body temperature is rising.
What a...bad night...!
…
…
"Hey, Sakuma." Baigo asked Sakuma who was running in front of him in a dissatisfied tone, "Are we just going to retreat like this?"
The whistle Sakuma blew just now is called "Rabbit Flute".
Once the sound is blown, everyone must immediately evacuate like a rabbit.
"Then what do you want?" Sakuma turned his head and cast a cold gaze at Baixiang behind him, "Don't you still understand the situation just now?"
"Do you think we have a chance of winning if Shura is close to us?"
"When the chance of victory is slim, get out of the battle as soon as possible and preserve your combat power as much as possible. Don't tell me, you have even forgotten this common sense."
After hearing Sakuma's reprimand, Baixiang kept silent and made no rebuttal.
Sakuma slowly stopped at this time.
While regulating his breathing, he turned his head and looked in the direction where he had just escaped.
"Although we were defeated by Shura just now, we didn't gain anything from the battle just now."
"At least we got three important pieces of information."
"One: Shura is far more powerful than we thought, and he also has this short musket at his side."
The scene where Ogata had just leaped 8 meters like a bird in one breath flashed through Sakuma's mind.
"Two: Our tactics were wrong. We shouldn't have let the troops responsible for dealing with Shura carry swords."
"Allowing the troops responsible for dealing with Shura to carry swords will only give Shura a chance to change his swords."
"Shura doesn't have a powerful sword at his side right now. If he wants to fight continuously, he has to change his swords frequently. So as long as the troops responsible for dealing with Shura don't carry swords, Shura's 'supply' can be cut off."
"Three: Shura's current condition does not seem to be good."
"The condition is very bad?" Baixiang asked doubtfully, "How did you tell?"
"It's not visible. It's what my intuition told me." Sakuma said calmly, "Baixiang, I will give you two tasks now."
When he heard the word "mission", Baixiang's expression immediately became serious.
"The first task: help me pass the order to all the troops: When fighting Shura, you must not carry any swords with you. Shura is far more powerful than we think, and he has a short blunderbuss. You must not fight with him in close combat.
Beware of the short musket he carries. At the same time, inform all troops: Shura's current physical condition is suspected to be poor, but even so, we cannot be careless."
"Second mission: I'll give you 8 people to clean up the battlefield just now. Don't let our warriors be exposed in the wilderness like this."
"Yes." Baixiang said respectfully.
After respectfully responding, Bai Xiang seemed to have recalled something, paused, and then asked Sakuma:
"Sakuma, do you want to collect the body of that Yuji?"
"Huh?" Sakuma glanced at Baixiang, "Why did you suddenly become so kind and want to collect the old man's body?"
"It's not a sign of kindness." Baixiang grinned, "I just feel that my current task is to collect the corpse, so I can also dispose of the corpse of the knifemaker who is not far from here."
"After all, the old man was quite miserable. What happened to him can be regarded as a sudden disaster."
"If it weren't for helping Shura repair his sword, he probably wouldn't have encountered such a tragic thing."
"Stop doing this kind of nonsense that will only waste time." Sakuma said without hesitation, "After collecting the bodies, go back to the 'stronghold' to assemble. Don't let me find out what you did and what I will give you."
Things that have nothing to do with the mission.”
"Okay. If you don't let me collect that person's body, then I won't collect it." Looking at Sakuma who spoke firmly, Baixiang shrugged helplessly.
…
…
Not far from here is the home of Master Yu Er
Buzz buzz...
The sound of flies flapping their wings became the only sound in this dilapidated hut.
It can be said that the house has become the nest of flies.
Some flies are flying in the air.
Some flies... landed on Yu Er, whose eyes were wide open, his head had been split open, and he was no longer alive. They rested on Yu Er's body and laid eggs.
This home, which was originally simple but well-organized, is now in a messy state.
There are traces of people turning over and looking for things everywhere.
All the knives in the house are gone.
In this knifemaker's house, the only remaining knives are kitchen knives.
