Chapter 243: Enemy General, I've Taken It! (Above)
Ogata didn't count how many soldiers the three of them had killed.
I only knew that the group of soldiers in front of me who were still alive had already shown fear on their faces one by one.
I didn't dare to shout and rush forward with a knife like I did just now.
They were all huddled at the other end of the hallway near the gate.
Neither dared to step forward, nor did he dare to retreat.
After the soldiers of the Shogunate Army broke open the gate, Ogata noticed the guy dressed as an officer.
The armor that the guy was wearing was obviously much more advanced than that of the other soldiers.
At the same time, he wears an extremely conspicuous helmet on his head, with a horn-like ornament on each side of the helmet.
It's like saying aloud to Ogata, "Hey, I'm the commander of this gang." ”
In neither his previous life nor his present life, Ogata had never learned any tactics in the art of war.
But there are some basic rules of the art of war, and Ogata still knows them.
For example, the thief captures the king first, and the man shoots the horse first.
Ogata had his eye on this guy from the beginning.
It's just that because the number of enemies was still relatively large at the beginning, it was still difficult to break through this layer of human walls.
And now, because many people have already fallen to the ground, the wall between Ogata and the officer has become much thinner.
A thought began to ring in Ogata's mind: It's time!
"Mamiya."
Ogata whispered the name of Mamiya beside him as he raised the knife in his right hand and placed it on the inner elbow of his left arm face up.
Clamp the blade with the inner elbow of the left arm from the root of the blade, hold the handle of the blade with your right hand and slowly pull it to the right, from the root of the blade to the tip of the blade, and wipe the blade clean with the clothes on the inner elbow of the left arm.
"Cover me."
"Understood."
Ogata didn't tell Mamiya what he was going to do.
However, it is strange to say - even though Ogata didn't tell Mamiya what he was going to do, and only said "cover me", Mamiya understood in an instant what Ogata wanted.
"Let's go."
Before the words completely fell, Xu Yi glared at him and rushed towards the Taoist wall in front of him!
As for the inter-palace, he followed closely by Ogata's side.
Ogata, who was dressed in light green haetori, and Mamiya, who was wearing crimson haeori, turned into two "lights" of diametrically opposed colors, and their speed was so fast that the shogunate generals standing at the forefront did not even react.
For example, the soldier standing at the front - Ogata had already rushed to him, and he was still stupidly holding the knife in his hand, not at all reacting—the enemy on the other side had already attacked.
After a sword pierced the soldier's unprotected face, and a system prompt sounded in his mind to kill the enemy and gain experience points, Ogata didn't hesitate, quickly let go of the knife in his hand, and leaned down to pull out another wakicha stuck in the floor at his feet.
After plunging the newly drawn knife into the throat of one of the soldiers on his right, he discarded the knife again, pulled out a battering knife stuck in the wall on his right, and slashed at another enemy with it......
Ogata completely abandoned the idea of pulling the knife back and reusing it.
After slashing or assassinating an enemy with a single sword, quickly discard the knife and pull out the knife stuck in the ground or wall to attack the new enemy.
Ogata repeats this process over and over again......
Because Ogata completely abandoned the idea of pulling the knife back and reusing it, Ogata's killing speed has now reached an extremely terrifying level - after all, the time to draw the knife back is not saved.
In this way, Ogata maintained the speed of one knife and one kill, dissolving the wall of people in front of him little by little, and leaning towards the officer whose face was becoming more and more ugly......
As for the Mamiya who was following closely behind Ogata, he was not idle.
Although Ogata is a skilled swordsman, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.
And the job of the palace is to make up for all these fish that have slipped through the net.
"Quick! Hurry up! ”
Looking at Ogata, who was getting closer and closer to him, the officer's face turned pale, and a large amount of cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Even though his voice was hoarse, and the soldiers around him were all very brave, killing Ogata one after another, but in the face of the absolute difference in strength, his subordinates still fell one by one.
And Ogata is getting closer and closer to him......
The officer keenly noticed that Ogata's eyes were locked on him all the time......
And constantly leaning towards you, and all the time looking at you - even a fool can see what this guy is going to do!
The thought that the madman's target was his head made the officer more and more anxious.
He didn't dare to move forward, let alone retreat - as a commander, if he retreated before the soldiers, it would be a devastating blow to morale.
After seeing that his subordinates could not stop this madman for a long time, the officer simply gritted his teeth, clenched the knife in his hand, showed a ruthless face, and shouted:
"Stand down! Let me! ”
As soon as the officer's shout fell, the soldiers who had been pardoned immediately retreated behind the officer like a tidal wave.
As the soldiers retreated, it became a situation where the officers and Ogata were confronted face to face.
"Prisoner!"
The officer shouted in a deep voice at Ogata in front of him.
It is impossible for the islanders of this island to possess this level of swordsmanship, and since the madman in front of him is not an islander, he may have only one identity - a prisoner thrown on this island.
"I am the general of the Chamberlain - Zorei Rikatsu! Put your name on it! ”
"Ogata Easei." Ogata said softly, "Ichisuke ronin." Let's have nicknames such as 'executioner's knife' and 'human slash'. ”
As soon as Ogata's words fell, the sound of gasps immediately rang out among the soldiers behind Zorai.
Zoray is also one of the people who recognizes Ogata.
After resisting the urge to gasp and exclaim, Zorei said in a deep voice:
"It turned out to be the famous Ogata Ichitosai ......"
"Ogata Ichitosai...... Come on! ”
With a resolute look on his face, Zora raised the knife in his hand little by little, and put on an upper stance.
"General Waiter, New Yin Stream, Zoreli Shengshang!"
Ogata, who was happy to go head-to-head with Zorai, raised the knife in his hand with one arm, without any posture, just held the knife with one arm, his legs parted, and stood leisurely.
"Ronin, Sakakiwara is a knife stream, and Ogata is on the rise."
Both the Mamiya standing behind Ogata and the soldiers standing behind Sarai consciously took a few steps back, leaving enough space for Ogata and Zorai.
"Drink, ah, ah!"
The first to attack was Zorai.
Zorai's breath was quite loud.
When he closes the distance between him and Ogata, his steps are also quite level--at first glance, he knows that he is not a mediocre swordsman.
After closing the distance between him and Ogata in one go, Zora launched a fierce attack like a storm directly at Ogata.
