Chapter 102 More than 100 one-on-one (II) [3 more today!] 】
The samurai's slash just now, although it didn't succeed in slashing Ogata, also cut through Ogata's haori and Wu clothes, revealing the chain mail inside.
This death-to-death match, with more than 100 samurai as opponents, is destined to be a vicious battle, and it will be a great test of Ogata's physical strength.
So in order to reduce the consumption of physical strength as much as possible, some attacks that will not hurt him, Ogata simply does not guard against them.
Just like the samurai's slash just now. The place he was aiming at was a belly protected by chain mail, so Ogata simply ignored his attack and let him slash it.
"It's chain mail! He wore chain mail! ”
"Don't use slashes! With a thorn! ”
"Cut off his limbs! And his face and neck! These places of his are not protected by armor! ”
……
……
"That's bad...... Nanahara muttered, "It's so lacking in actual combat experience...... He deserved to be killed. ”
In Nanahara's eyes, these guards stupidly cut off Ogata's torso, which is a sign of lack of actual combat experience.
When it is impossible to determine whether the enemy is wearing armor or not, prioritize attacking areas that are visible to the naked eye and where the enemy has no protection—this is what Nanahara has learned after many deathmatches.
This is also one of the reasons why Ichiro and the others were quickly defeated when they besieged Nanahara just now - Nanahara, who was experienced in actual combat, did not attack Ichiro's torsos at all, but directly cut off their heads and necks.
……
……
Ogata ignored the shouts of the samurai reminding each other that he was wearing chain mail, and instead shifted his gaze, quickly glancing at the two samurai to his left and right.
Ogata noticed that the two samurai were in the right position to use the flow to kill both of them at the same time.
Therefore, without too much hesitation, Ogata swung the twin swords in his hand, spun them like a spinning top, and used the flow of the two swords to slash the two samurai who had accidentally intruded into his attack range, and then stepped out of his feet again and ran.
……
……
"Huh~" Matsudaira Gennei stretched his voice and let out a strange sigh, "This guy is quite powerful, he has already cut down so many people." ”
Matsudaira Gennai's tone was unhurried.
When he said the sentence "So many people have been cut down", he still has a casual attitude, as if those who have been cut down to the ground by Ogata have nothing to do with him.
"This Ogata is smart." Nanahara on the side echoed, "I know that when I am one-to-many, I have to use the terrain to create one-on-one opportunities...... It seems that he has had experience with one-to-many, or has practiced one-to-many. ”
"At the same time, his swordsmanship is indeed superb, and in my opinion, none of the guards except me can defeat him in a one-on-one situation."
"But ......"
Speaking of this, Nanahara's words changed.
"That Ogata...... It won't last long. ”
Nanahara's eyes narrowed slightly, carefully observing Ogata's breathing.
"His breathing was starting to get rapid."
"Running while looking for opportunities to kill enemies - it's not a lot of physical exertion."
"Oh?" After learning from Nanahara's mouth that Ogata's physical strength had been violently depleted, Matsudaira Gennai's eyebrows were raised, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"That guy is dying...... So—I'll give you a slight morale boost. ”
"Nanahara, attach your ears here."
"I'll repeat what I'm going to say aloud to everyone later."
……
……
The system sound in my head is almost uninterrupted.
Ogata, who was already mentally tense, didn't have the leisure and energy to listen to how much experience he had gained and what he had been promoted to.
He was surrounded by enemies.
As long as there is the slightest slackness, Ogata may be injured or even killed.
Relying on the breath of the source, take a large breath of air again.
As the cool air passed through Ogata's throat, a tingling pain immediately spread through his throat.
Ogata now feels like his throat is dry.
At first, Ogata was able to use his own saliva to moisten his throat slightly.
Now, Ogata's mouth is so dry that he can't squeeze out even a drop of saliva.
After successfully killing another samurai who pounced on him using the flow of the two swords, a loud shout suddenly enveloped him.
"Everybody, listen to me!"
This is the loud shout of Nanahara.
Nanahara's drink immediately attracted the attention of most of the guards.
"The lord has just given the order!"
"The one who takes off the head of Ogata Yisei will have a bounty of 30 taels!"
"Whoever obtains Ogata Yisei meat slices will receive a bounty of 1 tael!"
Ogata was running, dodging, and slaughtering.
Ogata's superb swordsmanship frightened many of the guards.
His gesture, which had already beheaded more than a dozen of their companions in a row, had already made many people timid and cowered.
But after hearing Nanahara's big drink, their eyes changed instantly.
The huge benefits that suddenly appear in front of one's eyes can make people lose their calm and their original judgment ability.
It is easy to give people the illusion that if everyone goes together, it is easy to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to obtain the enemy's head.
As long as everyone goes up together, even if the rest of them are defeated, they may be able to stand last and become the ultimate victor - almost all the guards have this kind of reverie that they don't know how to evaluate.
Their eyes at this time were already covered with strong greed.
"Go!!"
"His head is mine!!"
"30 taels are mine!!"
The guards who were still alive were demoralized just because of Nanahara's simple words.
One by one, they turned into drooling jackals and pounced on Ogata.
"That's it!!" A look of intoxication appeared on Matsudaira Gennai's face, "That's right! Kill! Kill! Kill me happily!! ”
For Matsudaira Gennai, the money used to reward the guards was a small amount of money.
As long as you spend this small amount of money, you can see even more exciting performances - this is really worth it in the eyes of Matsudaira Gennei.
……
……
"Die!!"
On the left and right sides, a samurai swung his sword at Ogata.
It was as if it was going to split Ogata in half in one go.
They move fast, but Ogata moves a little faster than them.
Leap back half a step with agility, then swing the twin swords in your hand to slash both samurai to the ground.
"Oooo
As soon as Ogata had dealt with the two samurai, another rather noisy samurai swung his sword at Ogata.
The samurai waved the sword in his hand and danced with a sword light.
The samurai intended to rely on his sword speed to suppress Ogata.
Clang!
Blade Counter - Even though the samurai's sword was fast, Ogata saw through his sword path.
No matter how fast the knife dances, there is always only one knife.
He flicked the samurai's sword away with a slash and killed the samurai.
Before Ogata could catch his breath, a sharp pain suddenly came from his thigh.
Just because - he was stabbed in the thigh.
While Ogata was focusing his energy and attention on the others, a samurai sneaked up from behind Ogata and slashed at Ogata's left thigh, which was not protected by armor.
Strands of blood flowed from Ogata's wounds, staining his hakama red.
