Chapter 238: The Shogunate Army Attacks (Part II)

The wooden wall was much less solid than the officer had imagined, and a slight joy appeared on the officer's face as he looked at the wooden wall that had begun to tilt inward after a single impact.

He waved his big hand several times in a row, signaling his subordinates to start the next impact immediately.

Boom!!

The second impact further increased the tilt of the wooden wall.

Boom!!

By the third impact, the wooden wall was on the verge of falling to the ground.

Boom!!

After a fourth impact, the wooden walls of the area were finally completely smashed to the ground, revealing a gap nearly 2 rooms wide.

"Follow me!" As soon as the gap between the two wides appeared, the officer roared, drew the knife at his waist, and rushed into the wall along the gap.

Officers do not lead all of their men inside.

Instead, they divided their forces here again – leaving 30 soldiers to guard the gap in case the islanders inside the wall escaped through the gap.

The 90 generals, including the officer in charge, were responsible for entering the wall together and exterminating all living people inside the wall.

After storming the wall, the first living people they encountered were the young villagers who were in charge of guarding the rice fields.

The sound of the shogunate using rambling rams to break through wooden walls can be heard in all corners of Toyowa Village.

The villagers who were closest to the wooden wall and were in charge of guarding the rice fields naturally heard the four muffled sounds made by the shogunate army when they hit the wall just now.

Confused, and before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a group of soldiers in black armor rushing towards them.

"Hey! Who are you......"

Before the young man's question was heard, five soldiers of the shogunate army rushed forward, and four of them pierced his body with spears in their hands.

The soldier who was not responsible for the attack covered the head of the dead villager after his companions drew back the spears they had stabbed.

The young man's death was only the beginning, and in just a few breaths, all the villagers in charge of guarding the field were slaughtered by the incoming shogunate generals.

The generals of the shogunate army all acted in small groups, each with a total of five people, and attacked the villagers in small groups.

After the soldiers of each group joined hands to kill the villagers, they immediately wrapped the heads of the dead villagers in burlap bags.

This way, when the villager dies and becomes an ogre, it will not be able to pose any threat to them due to its obstructed vision.

This is the most effective tactic designed by the Shogunate to deal with ogres based on the fact that they can only attack living people in their field of vision.

Although you can't kill an ogre, you can rely on this tactic to limit the actions of a cannibal.

The soldiers of a certain group wrapped the head of a villager who had just died at their hands in a burlap bag, let out a sigh of relief, and then sighed to his companions next to him:

"If only I had known this weakness of the man-eaters early on the general attack on Butterfly Island in the first place."

After the "Cannibal Rebellion" broke out on Butterfly Island and the islanders on the island asked the shogunate for help, the shogunate immediately sent Inamori to lead a large army to eliminate the cannibals on the island.

At that time, neither the islanders of Butterfly Island nor the shogunate were aware of the fact that ogres would only attack living people in their field of vision.

Therefore, in that general attack on Butterfly Island, the shogunate army, which was helpless against the cannibals, was defeated badly, and the army withdrew in a hurry not long after landing on the island.

The 150 elite soldiers who were responsible for wiping out all the living people on the island this time basically participated in the great defeat at that time, and they all remember this defeat at that time.

As soon as the soldier's emotion fell, a comrade-in-arms standing next to him looked sneering:

"Our tactics can only be effective when the number of cannibals is small."

"As long as there are a large number of cannibals, dozens, hundreds of cannibals rushing towards us side by side, side by side, bell by heart, where do you have the time and opportunity to wrap their heads in sacks one by one?"

After hearing this sentence from his comrade-in-arms, the soldier who had just expressed his emotion immediately stopped speaking - because his comrade-in-arms was right.

It is true that this method of warfare can only be effective when the number of ogres is small, and once they are outnumbered and rush towards them in droves, there is basically no time and space to seal the vision of these cannibals one by one—unless their total strength is several times or even ten times that of the cannibals.

After clearing the villagers of the rice fields, the generals of the shogunate army did not stop and immediately marched into the depths of the wall......

……

……

Although the strange muffled sound no longer sounded, not long after the four strange muffled sounds fell, both Ogata and Amachi heard a new strange sound coming from outside the house.

And this new strange sound seems to be...... Shouts of killing and screaming.

Ogata and Amachi, whose faces had changed, hurried to the window and looked out.

Although the light was poor, the two could barely see - bands of soldiers in helmets and armor poured into the village from all directions, unleashing an indiscriminate massacre of all the villagers in their sight.

Regardless of whether the villagers in front of them are male or female, old or young; No matter whether the villagers in front of them were roaring or begging, the soldiers who suddenly poured into the village would ruthlessly wave the swords and guns in their hands.

"The Shogunate ......!" After muttering something in a deep voice, Ogata grimaced, lifted the knife he had just placed aside, and rushed out of the room

Amachi hurriedly put back on the socks she had just taken off, picked up her own weapon, followed closely behind Ogata, and rushed out of the room with Ogata.

As soon as they rushed out of the room, the two of them saw Manomiya and Makimura, who happened to be rushing out of the next room with a calm face, and the room of Manomiya and Makimura was located next door to Ogata.

While seeing Manomiya and Makimura, Ogata and the others also saw a girl who was hurrying up the stairs.

This girl was the only maid in the Konnosuke family.

After rushing to the third floor where Ogata and his party were, the maid with an anxious face shouted to Ogata and his party in a crying tone:

"The army of the shogunate and shogunate has attacked!"

"How could it be ......," Amachi's face turned pale, "why did the shogunate's army attack at this time...... And they are killing indiscriminately......"

Compared to the pale-faced Amachi and the maid who was about to cry, the three of Ogata, Mamiya, and Makimura were much calmer.

"What about the near helper?" Ogata asked rhetorically at the maid in a calm tone.

Ogata's calm appearance and calm tone invisibly affected the maid, making the maid, who was originally a little flustered due to anxiety, gradually become calmer.

"Kinnosuke-sama, he's on the first floor right now! Command the villagers and let them all hide in his house! ”
