It's hard to sum up a battlefield in one or two words.

Because this kind of place has always been where all human senses and emotions are concentrated and amplified.

Chaotic, cruel, and bloody scenes filled the view, with bright red arterial blood and dark red venous blood mixed together, dyeing pink viscera, dark or white skin, colorful clothing of various materials, and white subcutaneous fat into a dirty and striking red. Dirt and broken reed poles were mixed with scraps of armor and clothing, like crumbs of sugar sprinkled on top of a cake by Parnilla's top pastry chef while it was hot after baking it.

Hearing is not spared either—those who have been lightly injured scream hysterically as if they want to squeeze all the air out of their lungs, and those who are seriously injured and not yet dead are angry and trying to tell the air their last wishes or unfulfilled thoughts. At the same time, others were shouting in all sorts of language—obscenities, or subtle phrasing—of honor, of vengeance, and of stirring up all the blood in their bosoms, in the hope that it might bring great courage to overcome the situation.

The smell of sweat, vomit, stool and the smell of blood fill your nose and mouth, and every time you open your mouth in the heat of battle, the disgusting smell is enough to make you tumble.

- It can be said that for ordinary people, just receiving this dense information on a battlefield is enough to throw their minds into confusion.

So you need to concentrate, filter out as much as possible the information that is not relevant to the situation at hand, and focus on one goal.

Mira clenched the Japanese long knife in her hand.

The hilt of the Japanese sword is about 28 cm to 30 cm long in Rigal units, slightly longer than the large hand sword, comparable to the Rigal sword, and shorter than the two-handed sword.

The basic techniques of the standard Rigal sword technique can be applied more than 7 percent when using and making long knives, and this is the first thing to do, which is the way to hold it with both hands, the footwork and the starting style-

Two-handed weapons, heavy in the back hand.

Her right hand, near where the knife was, was held only with her index finger and thumb, and the rest of her fingers were not clenched, and the knife was held about a finger behind the blade and not close to the gauntlet—her left hand held the end of the hilt.

You can always easily tell if a swordsman is professionally trained by holding a knife or holding a sword - novice mistakes such as standing in the wrong posture or holding a two-handed weapon close together are naturally not mentioned, if the holding posture and footwork are overall and clear-eyed, but the hands are stiff as if they are a whole when swinging the sword, this must be a novice.

An excellent swordsman with a deep control of the range of motion and angle of the shoulders, elbows, and wrists of both hands. The hilt of the sword does not hold to death, and it expands and expands naturally, and with the long sword with the center of gravity on the back, its attack is not only tricky and varied, but also extremely fast.

A swordsman who has mastered his skills to this point is no longer invincible.

"Ha-" This man is not a rogue, his stance is steady, and his technique of holding a short spear also shows his experience.

He's a Ronin of Saburo's domain, wearing only a lightweight cuirass like our Roan Maiden.

The 1.8-meter-long Japanese spear has a full length advantage against the one-meter-long waist knife, and although the white-haired girl is a little taller, it is not enough to make up for the advantage of the weapon.

The other party stabbed him, steady and fierce, without the slightest mercilessness.

But she didn't panic.

She didn't try to dodge to the side, because the other man's gun was long but not long enough to move around in time. Compared to Rigal's spears of more than two meters and three meters in length, the short spear of the Japanese was more flexible, and with the complex use of the samurai's technique, if she tried to avoid it with footwork, she would fall into disadvantage.

So she chose to face it head-on.

In a simple mid-position stance, Mira also turned her heels and stepped out on tiptoe at the same time as the opponent stabbed forward.

"Drink!" she deliberately tilted the long knife in her hand, and at the moment of swing, she tricked the ronin into making him not change his attack with a feint of slashing at her opponent's head from above, and then immediately deflected the blade and slammed the tip of the short gun with the back of the knife.

The damaged but still sharp blade of the "——!" cut through the lacquer on the surface of the hardwood pole, and she took a step further with small steps, taking a step forward to the left while blocking the short gun to the right, and pulling the handle back with her left hand to slash hard, accurately-

"Bang!!" The blade shredded half of the ronin's gun-wielding palm, cut the tendons and bones, and the palm spurted blood and fell, and she grasped the moment when the opponent lost the ability to counterattack and block, this time taking a big step forward, accurately stabbing the blade into the opponent's throat, swinging it sideways to expand the damage while retracting the knife and taking two steps back.

"Uh-hiss" The cut throat made a "gurgling" sound, and the middle-aged ronin who rolled his eyes with bubbles of blood overflowed wildly and died under the sword of the young girl he despised - just like several people before him.

Rigal's long-pole infantry were very fond of hand armor, and some high-quality halberds and axes had a gauntlet added to the pole - in large part because even though long-pole weapons had an overall length advantage over swords, the forehand was often within the range of the sword's attack because the two hands were more spread apart.

The samurai of the Japanese people mainly fought on horseback, and their foot combat techniques were more concerned with the "fairness" of the same weapon than the Rigalis - but there was no fairness on the battlefield, and the reason why people pursued good weapons and armor was to gain as much advantage as possible before the battle began.

Although then again, Rigal's aristocratic swordsmanship is usually considered to be a confrontation between sword weapons.

Famous teachers produce high apprentices.

As the years go by and her skills improve, our Luo'an girl further realizes how valuable the knowledge taught by her teacher is.

Henry's combat skills are streamlined and efficient, yet flexible and flexible at the same time. Because he has already mastered the most fundamental "core" through countless basic training, what she needs is to choose a reasonable combination on this skeleton according to the current situation to deal with it.

Different weapons, different enemies, different battlefield environments, cannot be dealt with in the same way.

But there are a few things in common: the slash of a bladed weapon is the most devastating to the soft tissues of the human body, and it can also slash through the wooden hilt of some weapons, while an enemy in armor is better off attacking the crevice with a stab or vice versa.

No matter how the technique changes, the enemy will always be in the form of a man with two hands and two feet. A person's range of motion and arm length do not increase suddenly, but only decrease if armor is worn.

The essence of Rigal's swordplay of attacking "simultaneously" in a block is unfamiliar to Kazuren who has to start over with each attack, and this disparate advanced skill is her strength, and she knows it. Love

"Oni, Oni, Run, Run!" The well-armed but sparsely outnumbered ronins finally broke down in a one-sided battle, and they turned around and tried to wade to escape, but Henry and Joshua fought left and right, forcing the men to retreat and complete the bag with Narumi and Yajiro and Ayong.

In the bright noon sun, the last resistance also ushered in the end.

15 to 20, a similar number of people, they have been able to complete the annihilation of their own without serious injuries, and the opponent is still an elite domain ronin.

"Take inventory, burn the supplies, and go. The battle lasted less than 10 minutes, and at the time when Mira threw away the scarred knife in her hand and drew her dagger to cut the belt of arms from the dead ronin in front of her and take his sword, Henry lit the torches and handed them over to the others, each with a torch in front of the ronin's tent.

The flames burned quickly on a dry summer day, and after gathering all the weapons they could use and killing all the ronins on the ground, the group quickly boarded the boat and left the area.

When the rest of the nearby Saburo turned left and right and finally received the news, it was late hours after the end of the battle, and they could only look at the mess but not even the shadow of the enemy.

"What's going on, track it down immediately!" Kiyoshi, who was still in good spirits, looked angry, but after he gave the order, the people did not act immediately. The ninja leader looked back at the group of local rogues, some of them scratching their ears and cheeks in disapproval, while others had evasive eyes, clearly thinking about something.

"Shhh

"Smack-" Qingshi patted his head painfully: "This group of mercenary villains." ”

"Your Excellency. One of his ninjas got down on one knee beside him.

"Group A and Group C, is there any news?" He immediately switched the wording of the conversation between the ninjas, and the more plain words used to communicate with the rogues were to hide their identities, which was his professional habit and what Saburo meant - although these people defected to them and could be used, it did not mean that they should really be trusted with their hearts.

“...... I haven't been in touch for half a day. The ninja's report further increased Kiyoshi's irritability, a swamp full of mosquitoes, poisonous insects, and vicious pythons, and now there were murderers from nowhere attacking them everywhere. I wanted to hand it over to those rogues to explore, but these people treated it negatively, and had to send out the henchmen of Swamp Village and their own ninja troops, but they still had no ability to resist at all.

"Are we really being attacked by evil spirits, entering territory where we should not enter, Lady Saburo, is the thing you are seeking to cause destruction? Kiyoshi muttered to himself, even if he racked his brains, he still couldn't connect with the stranger who had a relationship with him in the domain. He didn't think it was anything that Ryunosuke could do at all, because Ryunosuke had always been a Chinese.

The samurai's warfare was ritualistic, and this ritual was sometimes even more important than victory, which was the common perception of both sides in battle.

This is a part of a culture that people are proud of, but it is also a "narrow pattern" that Lamani scholars criticize.

The smoke was everywhere, which meant a loss of concealment. But looking at the depths of the swamp with orange fire from afar, Ryunosuke admired the stranger more and more.

"Go this way, look, there's something here!" came the bustling voice of noisy rogues on the other side of the tall reeds, who were being led to a remote place as planned.

"It's over, move on. "Ryunosuke's ronins traveled lightly, and although they were still wearing armor, they abandoned some of the equipment that was too large to carry.

They had no intention of attacking the rogue, and although the rabble of more than a hundred people could be completely wiped out with the strength in their hands, all of them were just half-crouching in knee-deep water under Ryunosuke's order, enduring discomfort and waiting for these people to pass.

There are many ronins who have clenched their knives and are ready to pull out their knives at any time to fight, but they did not attack under the pressure of the Lord.

This is by no means the way the samurai fight, it is not dignified at all, there is no honor, it is full of humiliation.

Even though the ronins have accepted a lot of menial jobs that are against their status, they never imagined that one day they would need to leave with such a clearly defeatable enemy.

The anger was conveyed to Ryunosuke through impatient breathing—and it was exactly as the man had said.

"It is possible to win. That night when he put down his pipe and put down his pride and went to ask him for advice, the man who was as tall as a demon said this.

"You can win, as long as you're willing to give up everything for revenge. ”

It is absolutely impossible to win a head-to-head battle, and the overwhelming disadvantage in troops makes it impossible for them to win on the frontal battlefield no matter how hard they struggle.

But they never needed to win on a frontal battlefield.

The people Saburo had gathered were only following him for money and to fill their stomachs, and they didn't have the strong morale and cohesion of the 100 men under Ryunosuke's command - so he needed to have his henchmen in them.

Just like the ninjas in the camp in the middle of the lake, even the 600 people who came out of the swamp village are not necessarily all loyal. Most of them probably only follow him because they can eat and drink spicy food - the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and Saburo can easily betray Sakura, a partner for many years, then he will definitely not have trust in most of the people under his command.

Henry gave Ryunosuke an analogy that he could best understand: "It's like putting a scorpion, a centipede, and a viper in a jar at the same time, and they're just afraid of being attacked by the other when they attack one of them, so there's a delicate balance." ”

Always thinking about stabbing the other party, if he can have this status, then why can't this person be me.

Saburo must have known that these people had two hearts, so on the one hand, he gave them money and a privileged life, and on the other hand, he installed more loyal beings such as ninjas and ronins as backbones.

"So, we're going to upset that balance. ”

"The only thing that can hurt people is the head, and although the body looks big, it is not as threatening as you fear. ”

"What you want to use is called a decapitation tactic. The sage flipped the dagger in his hand and clicked on the rudimentary map.

"The larger the size of the unit that has lost its command, the greater the chaos. ”
