Dongxiang looked at Yubalang's body, whose head was chopped off and his whole face was bloody and bloody, with a look of pity on his face.
What an idiot...
Dongxiang secretly thought in his heart.
He doesn't even need a good musket, he insists on fighting Ogata Ittosai in hand-to-hand combat.
But this idiot's death was still worthwhile.
At least he proved that Ogata Ittousai's strength is far beyond our expectations.
In order to facilitate management and command, each unit participating in tonight's "Osaka Spring Formation and Battle of Xu" has its own designation, and the designation is "X Division".
The unit number led by Dongxiang is Division 7.
Just now, after seeing the red fireworks, Dongxiang quickly led his 7th team to the place where the fireworks were set off.
As a result, after arriving at the scene, which was on the bank of a certain canal, Dongxiang saw the members of Group 3.
The unit led by Uohachiro from Division 3, who has no other special skills except swimming and killing people in the water.
When he met Uohachirou's 3rd team, Dongxiang was stunned.
Because Yubalang died unexpectedly.
He was stabbed in the middle of the head and his head was chopped off. The members of the 3rd team were not very good at water. They just fished him out of the river.
Dongxiang asked the members of the 3rd team in detail before he knew how Uohachiro died.
Dongxiang didn't know how to evaluate the cause of Ubalo's death.
It's really hard for Togo to understand that he doesn't use a good flintlock gun and so many subordinates don't use it. He insists on being one-on-one with Ogata.
Dongxiang knew that Uopachiro was a person who was keen on competing with others, but Dongxiang didn't expect Uopachiro to be so enthusiastic.
A person is dead, no matter how much you complain about his stupidity, it will be useless.
Dongxiang, who was sitting on his knees next to Yubalang's body, quickly stood up after reciting a few reincarnation spells silently.
And when he just stood up
laugh!
To the northwest, somewhere downstream of the canal not far from here, red fireworks appeared in the sky.
Dongxiang, who heard the sound and quickly turned around, murmured: "Did Shura escape there... It's quite close to here."
"Hey, I'm from Division 3."
Dongxiang turned around and shouted to Yubalang's subordinates.
"I am giving an order with my 'wartime command authority': You are now temporarily under my command."
Wartime command authority is a power shared by commanders of all units.
This power includes: when the war is urgent, the commander can temporarily recruit the remaining soldiers of the remaining troops according to the war situation.
After hearing Dongxiang call out the words "wartime command authority", everyone in the 3rd Division looked straight.
"You, you, you. The three of you are responsible for transporting Yubalang's body back to our formation."
"The rest of you, follow me! Let's chase Shura with me!"
"No matter what, we can't let Shura run away!"
The members of the 3rd team have been worried about losing their backbone since Uohachiro's death. Dongxiang's voice calmed down all the members of the 3rd team like a timely rain.
"yes!"
After a chorus of agreement, the three people who were named by Dongxiang just now to transport Yubalang's body back to the main formation, you look up, and I lifted my feet to move Yubalang's body onto the cart they just found. The rest of the people
Then they formed a neat queue in front of Dongxiang.
Looking at the almost undamaged Division 3 in front of him, Dongxiang nodded with satisfaction.
The people from Division 3, plus the people from Division 7... a total of 89 people.
Oh, with such combat power, you don't need to be afraid even if you encounter a shogunate army of a thousand people.
The corners of Dongxiang's mouth turned up in a proud arc.
"Everyone follow me!"
With an energetic wave of his hand, Dongxiang led the 3rd Division and 7th Division and hurried towards the area where the red fireworks had just been set off.
…
…
Osaka, southwest of Osaka Castle
"Oh...is it in that direction..."
Just now, after a gorgeous "red flower" bloomed in the northwest sky, Zuemon captured this beautiful scene in time.
After completely watching the whole process of this "red flower" from blooming to withering, Saemon was both happy and annoyed at the same time.
Just after completing the task of "clearing Osaka Castle" and walking out of Osaka Castle, ready to engage in the "Plan B" against Ogata, he saw the red fireworks at the standard Ogata position, which made Zuemon very happy.
But the location of the red fireworks is located on the northwest horizon... far away from Zuemon, which makes Zuemon very annoyed.
"It's so annoying... Why are you so far away from me..." Zuoemon scratched his head, "By the time I get to that place, Shura will have already escaped or been killed by others..."
"Forget it, let's rush over and take a look first."
…
…
Except for those troops who were too far away to see the fireworks, all the other troops basically discovered the "red flower" that had just bloomed immediately.
All units have now almost completed their respective tasks of destroying various important facilities and places in Osaka.
In other words...all the troops have now devoted themselves to the encirclement and suppression of Ogata.
They all saw the "red flower" almost at the same time and rushed to the place where the "red flower" appeared from all directions.
Some of them smiled triumphantly.
Thinking that as hunters, they successfully closed the net and quickly killed their prey.
But they don't know the identities of hunter and prey, and they often switch between each other.
…
…
"Is this a place where poor people live..."
Dongxiang, which is closest to the "red flower", is the fastest to get to the place where the "red flower" appears.
He now has Division 3 and Division 7 under his command. He is frowning and scanning the low and dilapidated houses in front of him.
Judging from the condition of the houses, it is not difficult to tell that this is a place where the poor people of Osaka live. The low, dilapidated houses are arranged tightly and densely. The too close arrangement of houses makes people feel uncomfortable.
There is not a single resident here now, and most of them have probably been frightened by the fires that are spreading all over Osaka and have fled for their lives.
The fireworks just now were undoubtedly set off from this place.
Did Ogata Ittosai escape to this place... This place is indeed very suitable for hiding...
Speaking of which, where is the ninja who set off the fireworks just now? Isn't he here? Was he killed?
Forget it, it's better to find Shura quickly first.
The roads here are very narrow. With so many people moving together, not only is the efficiency of traveling and searching extremely low, but it is also very easy to hinder each other...
We must act separately...
If a group of 30 people... the combat power should be enough, then even if any group of people encounters Shura, they don't need to be afraid of him...
After careful calculation and calculation in his mind, Dongxiang made up his mind and gave a loud order to the 3rd Division and 7th Division, which he was now in charge of commanding:
"Twenty-nine people will follow me, and the remaining 60 people will be divided into two groups of 30 and disperse! Search this place!"
"Remember to cheer up!"
"Shura might be hiding somewhere in this place right now!"
"Hold your guns tightly!"
"Once a person suspected of being Shura is found, he will be killed directly."
Under Dongxiang's order, the members of Group 3 and Group 7 quickly divided into groups and rushed towards the "slum area" in front of them from all directions.
…
…
The team led by Dongxiang himself searched very quickly.
In a short time, they advanced deep into the neighborhood.
They are now walking on a long, narrow road.
This is a long and extremely narrow road that can only accommodate four people walking side by side.
They were shoulder to shoulder, each of them monitoring different directions while advancing slowly, searching every dark alley and house along the way.
A very quiet street...
The object of pursuit is most likely lurking somewhere here...
I had to pick up my energy and scan around every corner...
These things all increase people's psychological pressure and tense their nerves.
At this moment when everyone's nerves are already tense
Bang!
In a dark alley behind the team, there was a crisp sound of something falling.
Everyone was shocked by the sound.
Dongxiang quickly signaled the entire team to stop immediately.
The few soldiers walking at the end of the team were even more startled by the sudden sound. They quickly turned around and pointed their guns in the direction of the abnormal noise just now.
The black muzzles are like grinning wolves.
Under the watchful eyes of these "wolves"
Zhizhizhi...
A mouse jumped out of the dark alley where the strange noise came from just now.
The mouse ran to the center of the long road behind the queue, glanced at the soldiers who pointed flintlock rifles at it, then spread out its four little paws and fled into the darkness next to it.
"What...it's a mouse..."
"A false alarm..."
"My gun almost went off just now."
…
The soldiers at the back of the queue put away their guns while criticizing or teasing the rat that had just startled them in a complaining or joking tone.
"It would be great if that rat just now was Shura." A soldier with a broad forehead standing at the back of the queue whispered to his companions in a joking tone, "In this way, we can kill him quickly.
, our mission can also be completed..."
bass!
A cold light suddenly emerged from the chest of this broad-headed warrior.
It's a beating knife.
Behind the broad-headed warrior is a short and old private house.
At this moment, a knife stabbed out of the house.
Pierce the door and connect it with the heart of the broad-headed warrior who has his back to this private house!
"Pfft...!" Kuan forehead's unfinished words turned into a sound of vomiting blood.
Handfuls of blood spurted out from the mouth of Kuanmen's forehead and the wounds on his chest, splashing all over the body of the companion he was talking to just now.
After the knife pierced Kuanmen's chest, he suddenly pulled it back and took it back into the house.
Under the influence of inertia, the broad-headed body flew backwards, smashed the dilapidated door, and slammed into the private house, throwing up clouds of dust.
The sudden change shocked the surrounding soldiers.
The four soldiers closest to the soldier with wide forehead all held guns and rushed into the house where the knife that had just "grown" suddenly pierced the chest of Kuan forehead, and then "swallowed" Kuan forehead inside.
.
Although the clouds of dust that were thrown up obscured their vision, the four soldiers who rushed into the room first could barely see the scene inside.
This is an extremely shabby house. The total number of decent furniture in the house can be counted on one hand.
Kuan forehead, who had just been "swallowed" into the house, was now lying on the ground in a "big" shape, with fragments of the smashed wooden door beneath him.
His pupils had dilated, and there was a lot of air coming out and little air coming in. It was obvious that he was hopeless.
The four soldiers who rushed into the house looked around the house. Apart from the tattered furniture, there was nothing else in the house, and not a single soul...
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Kotaro has been killed!"
"Did he be killed by Shura?"
"No, I don't know. There's no one in the house."
"Did he escape?"
Dongxiang learned the whole story of Kuan Toumen's murder at the first time.
As soon as Dongxiang finished listening to the report, a soldier next to him stammered:
"Hey, hey, could it be that you were killed by something unclean? I was born in Osaka. I heard that once night comes in Osaka, a kind of monster that feeds on human flesh will take to the streets...
"
Before the soldier finished speaking, Dongxiang immediately reprimanded him:
"Stop talking nonsense. Even if there are monsters, what's there to be afraid of? We have Western firearms! Even if big monsters like Otakemaru, Shuten Doji, and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox come, we can blast them to pieces."
Kuan Yu died inexplicably, causing more or less panic to appear on the faces of the remaining 29 people in the group.
Death is often not the scariest thing.
Inexplicable death is the most chilling thing.
"Alert! Alert!" Dongxiang shouted, "The murderer is undoubtedly Shura! Everyone..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet
laugh!
The exact same scene as what happened just now appeared again.
Another house "spit out" a knife and pierced the chest of a soldier closest to this house.
The house looks like the mouth of a giant beast.
The knife is like the tongue of this giant beast.
After successfully grabbing the prey, the predatory tongue suddenly moved back into the mouth. The warrior flew backwards like the broad forehead before and was "swallowed" into the mouth.
The scene was so horrifying that a certain soldier screamed subconsciously.
"Quick! Rush in! Shoot when you see Shura!"
Dongxiang quickly ordered the soldiers closest to the house to rush into the house to capture Ogata.
The low rate of fire of the flintlock gun means that every shot is precious and should not be fired randomly before seeing the enemy.
The five soldiers closest to the house filed in carrying flintlock guns.
The soldier who ran the fastest and was the first to rush into the house had just stepped into the house with his front feet. He saw a black shadow descending from the top of the inner door frame of the house and falling on his head.
Kara!
The soldier heard the sound of bones being crushed.
And this cracking sound... came from his neck.
He saw the world in front of him turn upside down, and for the first time in his life, he saw the scene behind him from a direct perspective.
And then... there will be no more.
His vision was invaded by darkness at a staggering speed, and his body quickly lost consciousness.
…
…
[Ding! Use Shiranui-style ninjutsu and Shiranui-style jujutsu to kill the enemy]
[Acquire 80 personal experience points and 80 experience points for the Ninjutsu "Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu"]
After falling from the door frame, he used his legs to clamp the head of the soldier who entered the room first, and then turned his head 180 degrees. Ogata fell steadily back to the ground with neat movements.
My body is still in extremely poor condition due to the "immortal poison".
Every part of my body aches, my body temperature is still rising, and my head is painful and swollen.
Although the body was in pain, Ogata felt that his spirit was very relaxed.
Because he could finally repay these unidentified enemies properly.
Tonight, I was attacked one after another by this guy for no apparent reason.
Thanks to these bastards' "blessings", not only has he not been able to get his sword back, nor can he return to Atachi, but he also has an additional wound on his leg that is still causing pain to this day.
There are almost no unnecessary distractions in Ogata's mind now.
He only has one thought now.
revenge.
A heartfelt revenge.
After Ogata used Shiranui-ryu Jujutsu to kill the first warrior who entered the room, the other four warriors walking behind this warrior who wanted to enter the room were subconsciously startled.
At this time, Ogata's attack had been launched.
Ogata did not draw his sword.
Instead, punch.
Ogata, who was holding the sword in his right hand, clenched his left hand into a fist and struck the chest of the second soldier who entered the room in line.
Good luck!
Bang!
The fist, powered by luck, hit the person's chest directly.
Even if his current condition is not good, Ogata's strength is far beyond the level of ordinary people.
Luck + a level that is far above ordinary people = this person will never die again.
The feeling of broken bones spread to Ogata's fist.
The soldier with a large dent in his chest flew backwards like a cannonball, hitting the other three soldiers behind him like dominoes. The four of them lined up in a neat queue, flew out from the door of the house, and fell heavily on the ground.
In the middle of the road.
[Ding! Use the unarmed combat technique and the Iga-style forbidden technique to kill the enemy]
[Acquire 70 personal experience points and 60 experience points in the unarmed fighting technique "Iga-ryū forbidden technique"]
Ogata's right hand was holding the brand new katana he had just exchanged from Ishikawa, and his left hand was holding the flintlock gun he got from the warrior who was killed by Shiranui-ryu jujutsu.
Ogata "flew" out of the house at a speed as if he was flying at low altitude, and "landed" in front of a certain soldier.
While landing, Ogata did not forget to use the gravitational potential to slash the soldier's forehead heavily, directly splitting his forehead into pieces.
With his right hand, he swung the knife to chop the enemy's head in front of him, and with his left hand, he aimed the muzzle of the flintlock gun in his palm at the chest of an enemy beside him.
Bang!
Without looking at the man who was shot, Ogata turned the flintlock gun in his left hand and pointed the muzzle at the other soldier.
Although these enemies now carry no weapons other than muskets, which prevents Ogata from changing his sword, he has now changed his mind.
Since there is no knife to grab, let’s grab their muskets!
In addition to shooting, muskets have many other uses.
For example, use it directly as a short gun.
Ogata inserted the muzzle of the flintlock gun that was empty in his hand into the mouth of an enemy beside him with brute force.
The muzzle of the gun directly pierced the man's lips, knocked out several teeth including his front teeth, penetrated deeply into the man's throat, and then left the gun in the man's mouth.
This soldier, who was unfortunately shot through the mouth by a musket, rolled his eyes and could only breathe out, not in.
With such a narrow road, there is no terrain that can limit the performance of musketeers more than this.
The soldiers tried to distance themselves from Ogata so that they could have shooting distance.
But they have legs, and Ogata also has legs.
Ogata stepped forward to the side of another warrior, then pulled out his wakizashi with his left hand and pierced the man's chest.
Ogata stabbed the person's chest with his wakizashi, using the person as a shield, and launched a shield attack against the enemy in front of him.
Ogata's "shield impact" was a sharp blow that put all his strength into it. The enemies in front of him were knocked down one by one and knocked away.
Precisely because he struck with all his strength, Ogata's impact speed was extremely fast.
In just a blink of an eye, Oufang rushed in front of Dongxiang with this soldier in his arms.
Dongxiang's face is full of fear now.
When he just saw Ogata staring at this human shield and charging towards him, he subconsciously wanted to run away.
But Ogata's speed was infinitely faster than him.
He had just taken two steps back, and Ogata had already rushed to the position where his sword could cut him down.
The sword light shot into the sky.
The tip of the knife slashed from Dongxiang's chin to Dongxiang's Tianling Gai.
The last thing Togo saw in his life was Ogata's cold eyes.
Looking at these chilling eyes, Dongxiang couldn't help but recall that because he had never seen Ogata's strength with his own eyes, he thought that with a group of 30 people, each group's combat power would be enough to deal with Ogata, so
He confidently divided his troops into three groups...

This chapter mentioned Ogata's power, so the author will tell you a behind-the-scenes story that I haven't told you before: There is a canceled extra story in this book, and its timeline is that Ogata and Omachi lived in Ezo on the eve of their departure.
At Matsumae Castle, it’s time to wait for the stowaway boat to be ready to depart.
The general content is the story of Ogata, whose physical strength, strength, and vitality have grown to an incredible level, and accidentally loses his power to Atachi.
Because the content is so extreme that I can’t even post it, so this extra episode can only be cancelled.
