I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 655

Popular recommendation:

In just a split second, Ogata’s forehead was sweating finely from the pain.

This was the first time for Ogata… While fighting someone, the “undead poison” suddenly attacked.

Ogata thought that the “undead poison” would flare up just like when he was hanging out with Isshiki in Osaka a few days ago, and then returned to normal.

But I didn’t expect it – the pain that came from all over the body not only did not slowly dissipate, but seemed to have an increasingly severe trend…

“Whirring whirring…”

Ogata gasped for a few rough breaths, stabilizing his slightly shaken mind due to the sudden change.

—Will you fight a large group of enemies with flintlock guns while facing the physical discomfort caused by the recurrence of the “undead poison”… No kidding…

Although he said “don’t joke” in his heart, Ogata’s eyes gradually became firm and sharp.

There was no sign of depression or confusion on his face.

-Since the “undead poison” is suddenly attacking now…it’s even more urgent…!

Although the enemy has more than 60 people, and they also hold extremely advanced flintlock guns, they are numerous and have powerful firepower, but they have their advantages, and Ogata also has the advantage of Ogata-in terms of terrain and experience, it is Ogata who account for it. excellent.

The musketeers stood in the middle of a street with houses in both rows.

If he were to fight against the 60 or so musketeers on the open plain with no obstacles around him, then Ogata would have basically nothing to do except “temporarily avoid their edge.”

But in the complex terrain of here and now, Xu Fang has a lot of options on offense and defense.

As for “how to fight the musketeers in such a place with many obstacles”, Ogata had already accumulated considerable experience in fighting against the gang of Cossacks who attacked Kina Village in Ezo.

After taking a big deep breath, Ogata quickly switched his breathing rhythm to the breathing rhythm of “Breath of the Source”.

【Ding! The host enters the realm of no self! 】

I was in a hurry to go back to the hotel to check the situation of A-Ming and the others. At the same time, the “undead poison” in the body happened to be attacking Ogata now. Now I just want to hit the enemy outside the alley as soon as possible.

Therefore, he does not intend to make any reservations in strength.

Moreover, in the face of more than 60 well-trained musketeers with flintlock guns, Ogata did not dare to have any support.

If it is 2, 3 or 3 or 4 flintlocks, that’s all.

But the current enemy has more than 60 flintlock guns… Even with the advantage of the terrain, Ogata has not defeated more than 60 enemies with flintlock guns without entering the “realm of no-self” in the normal state.

As soon as the system sound that reminded him to enter the “No-Self Realm” fell, Xu Fang jumped up.

With the status bonus granted by “The Realm of No Self”, Ogata easily climbed to the window edge of the second floor of a house that seemed to have been abandoned by the alley.

Then, using the window sill as a foothold, jump up again and onto the roof of the house.

This group of musketeers of unknown origin is really well-trained.

As soon as Ogata appeared on the roof, the musketeers standing in the first column immediately raised their flintlock guns and pointed them at Ogata who jumped up the roof.

“Shoot!” Sakuma, who was standing at the rear of the gun formation and commanding the battle, shouted decisively.

The sound of gunshots like popping beans exploded again, and another row of bullets flew towards Ogata.

The exact same scene as before appeared – this row of bullets still only hit the air.

When Ogata’s body fell, he ran to the west along the roof without stopping.

West – where the Musketeers are.

Facing Ogata who was running towards them, some of the more than 60 musketeers showed a little panic uncontrollably.

However, although their expressions were a little shaken, their movements were still orderly.

The musketeers in the first row exchanged their empty guns with the ready-to-fire guns in the palms of the second row behind them.

Although these musketeers were trained by British Army instructors, they did not use the most advanced Western “line tactics” to deal with Ogata under the order of Sakuma, but adopted the classical “three Sniping” tactics.

The so-called “line tactics” are the most advanced and popular tactics in the West.

At this time in the West, swords, spears, swords and halberds are no longer used, and the flintlock gun has become the most mainstream weapon in Western countries.

Although the flintlock gun far surpassed the arquebus in performance, the accuracy was still extremely poor.

In order to make up for the disadvantage of flintlock gun accuracy, line tactics came into being – the musketeers were arranged in a tight formation, and then fired at the enemy together. Hundreds and thousands of bullets flew past together, always hitting some enemies.

The popularity of “line tactics” has made the Western battlefields of this era a bit comical at first glance: soldiers from both armies are lined up in tight queues and shoot each other face to face.

However, it was such a funny-looking tactic that maximized the power of the flintlock gun, and allowed the armies of Western countries to dominate the world in combat power.

In the “Line Tactics”, the soldiers all fired together and then loaded the ammunition together. Unlike the “three-stage attack”, several rows of soldiers were alternately loaded and fired to ensure that the barrage did not stop.

The reason for this is very simple – let the soldiers fire together, the greater the momentum, the greater the damage that can be caused to the enemy at one time, and the greater the shock to the enemy.

Just think about it: is it more psychologically shocking to see your comrades fall one by one, or is it more psychologically shocking to see your comrades fall down a lot?

But tactics are dead, people are alive.

The “line tactics” in which the soldiers fired their guns together worked well on a battlefield where large-scale musketeers faced off, but it’s not so useful when dealing with Ogata now.

Because now they only need to deal with Ogata alone.

In this “just hit one person” situation, “firepower” is not the most important thing, but “continuous firepower” is the most important.

That’s why Sakuma adopted the “three-stage strike” tactic, which did not have strong firepower, but allowed the barrage to continue.

These musketeers change guns quickly.

But Ogata in the “No-Self Realm”, his reaction and speed are faster.

He looked at the gap between the musketeers in the first row and the musketeers in the second row, and stretched his left hand, which was not holding a knife, into his arms.

He took out the powerful short gun, Mei Ran, that he had obtained from the Cossacks before, although he could only play single shots.

Pulling the gun, raising the gun, shooting – Ogata completed this series of actions in less than a second.

His purpose is to deter the enemy.

So he didn’t take aim and shot directly at the crowd.

Ogata’s luck was very good. Although he fired randomly without aiming carefully, the bullet was very lucky to hit the forehead of a musketeer.

The back of the musketeer’s head was like a half-smashed watermelon, and the strange liquid mixed with blood and brains sprayed the faces of the companions behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the group showed the reaction that Ogata had expected.

Facing Ogata who suddenly pulled out a pistol and launched a long-range attack on them, the enemies all showed more or less panic, and the previously tight formation became a little more scattered.

This is the tactic Ogata devised: unleash an unexpected attack on this group of foes who are clearly inexperienced in combat, and leave them in limbo.

—As expected, it is for a novice who lacks actual combat experience, so he is not good at handling emergencies.

After sighing in his heart, Ogata sank into his dantian, poured strength into his feet, and leaped from the roof to the enemies who had not regained his composure.

There is a distance of nearly 8 meters between him and this group of enemies.

It is impossible for ordinary people to jump over such a distance.

But Ogata under the “realm of no self” is obviously not in the category of “ordinary people”.

Ogata, who was catching the sword with one hand, jumped down in mid-air like a roc, and then landed firmly among the enemies.

Sakuma and Baixiang, who were in charge of commanding the battle, were both staring in shock.

They never expected that Ogata had the means of long-range strikes.

At the same time, they did not expect that Ogata could leap a distance of 8 meters in one breath.

Successfully jumped into the enemy group.

What to do next is much simpler.

laugh!

The knife with Ogata’s right hand crossed an arc from the bottom to the top, and the blade slashed into the chin of the “enemy 1” in front of him, and then slashed out from the top of his head.

【Ding! Use Sakakihara Ichito-style, climb the building, kill the enemy]

[Acquire 80 points of personal experience and 80 points of experience for swordsmanship “Sakakihara Ichito-style”]

[Current personal level: LV40 (2590/6400)]

[Sakakihara Ichito-style level: 14 steps (1045/14000)]

While attacking the enemy with his right hand, Ogata’s left hand pulled out the waist of the “enemy 2” on the left.

Suck…

Ogata took a deep breath.

No Self Two Swords Stream Starfall.

Cicada Rain with 7 consecutive cuts and Xing Luo with 13 consecutive cuts – these 2-slash combo skills of Wuwu’s 2-sword flow, because there are few occasions where these 2 moves can be used, these 2 moves Ogata have been rarely used.

The biggest difference between Chanyu and Xingluo is the 7 knives that the former makes. Some knives are fast, some are slow, some are heavy, some are light, and they use fast, slow, heavy and light attacks to confuse opponents. It is suitable for Used to duel with people.

And Xingluo slashed 13 slashes in one breath at the fastest speed.

It is not only suitable for suppressing opponents in a duel, but also suitable for knocking down as many enemies as possible when there are many enemies.

Ogata’s right-handed sword and his left-handed Wakizashi cooperated to draw 13 sword beams one by one.

Thirteen sword beams enveloped all the enemies around Ogata.

The sword light dissipated, and everyone who happened to be within Ogata’s attack range—a total of 10 enemies fell to the ground with their swords hit at their key points.

The dense system beeps sound.

【Ding! Use the two swords without self, Xingluo, to kill the enemy]

[Acquire 70 points of personal experience and 70 points of experience in swordsmanship “Egoless Two Swords”]

[Current personal level: LV40 (2660/6400)]

…

【Ding! When the experience value is full, the level of the two swords without me will be upgraded by 1, and the skill point will be obtained by 2 points]

[Current remaining skill points: 7 points]

…

[Current personal level: LV40 (3490/6400)]

[No-I Second-Knife Flow Level: 13 Stages (120/16000)]

The system prompt to prompt the upgrade of the No-I Second Sword Stream sounded after a long absence.

However, at this time, Ogata did not have the spare time to savor this joy.

After slaying 10 enemies in one go, Ogata threw the sword in his right hand to the ground, and quickly snatched the beating from the waist of an enemy who had just been slashed by him and was now falling to the ground. Knife.

When changing knives, Ogata did not forget to recite a sentence in his heart:

– The quality of the cheap goods is really not to be praised…

Just now, he used Xing Luo to kill the surrounding enemies. When he cut the sixth enemy, Ou Fang obviously felt that the knife in his hand was not so useful.

It’s just that he has only cut a few people, and the blade of the knife is no longer sharp because it is covered with too much grease.

The poorer the quality of the knife, the easier it is to be covered by grease.

Although the katana can no longer be used, the wakizashi in the left hand, which was snatched from the enemy, can be used for a while due to its excellent quality, so Ogata only replaced the katana.

When changing the knife, Ogata involuntarily glanced at Wakizashi in his left hand, and frowned slightly:

—The swords used by these people…the quality is far better than I imagined…they can be equipped with such a good saber…what are these people…

The swords used by these musketeers, although they are not one-of-a-kind big swords, are undeniably high-quality swords, and if they are sold on the market, there is no problem with selling them for 2 or 30 taels.

To allow so many people to have such high-quality swords and wakis… Ogata increasingly wants to know who is the mastermind behind these people.

When Ogata just jumped into the ranks of the musketeers, Sakuma’s expression was extremely ugly, and there was a look of hesitation in his eyes.

The hesitation in Sakuma’s eyes finally dissipated until the musketeers were brought down by Ogata like chopping melons and vegetables.

He pulled out a grotesque whistle—

beep-!

He put the whistle to his lips and blew it hard, making a sharp whistle.

After blowing the whistle, Sakuma quite decisively—turned around and ran away.

It’s not just him running away.

Baixiang next to him and the musketeers not far away put away their weapons and fled in different directions.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ogata was stunned for a moment, then his face sank.

These people are not fleeing.

but an orderly retreat.

These people scattered into a dozen groups and retreated in different directions in an orderly manner.

Ordinarily, Ogata may choose to pursue the enemy along the way, and then grab a few survivors and ask for information from their mouths.

But he doesn’t have the leisure and time right now.

Without the leisure and time to go to Yu Er to get the knife, nor the leisure and practice to pursue these enemies.

He is now in a hurry to go back to the hotel to check the situation of A-Ming and the others.

If he went back so late, there might be an accident with A-Ting and the others.

Therefore, seeing that these enemies were retreating on their own initiative, Ogata did not pursue the pursuit.

As he walked away quickly, Ogata’s left hand subconsciously raised and covered his left neck, his brows furrowed and his teeth clenched.

Ogata clearly felt the pain emanating from all over his body, and there were signs of increasing intensity.

And faintly feel his body temperature is rising.

– What a… bad night…!

…

…

“Hey, Sakuma.” Bai Xiang asked in a dissatisfied tone towards Sakuma who was running in front of him, “Are we just retreating like this?”

The whistle that Sakuma blew just now is called “rabbit flute”.

Once the sound is blown, everyone must immediately evacuate like a rabbit.

“Then what do you think?” Sakuma turned his head and cast a cold gaze at Baixiang behind him, “Can’t you understand the situation just now?”

“Do you think we have a chance of winning if Shura gets close?”

“When the odds of winning are slim, get out of the battle as soon as possible and preserve your combat power as much as possible – don’t tell me, you have even forgotten this common sense.”

Hearing Sakuma’s reprimand, Baixiang kept his mouth shut and did not refute.

Sakuma slowly stopped at this time.

While adjusting his breathing, he turned his head and looked in the direction he had just fled from.

“Although Shura was turned against the army just now, in the battle just now, we didn’t gain anything at all.”

“At least we got 3 important pieces of information.”

“One: Shura is far stronger than we thought, and he still has this short gun by his side.”

The scene where Ogata leaped 8 meters apart like a bird just now flashed across Sakuma’s mind.

“Two: Our tactics are wrong. We shouldn’t let the troops responsible for dealing with Shura carry swords.”

“Let the troops responsible for dealing with Shura carry swords will only give Shura the opportunity to change their swords.”

“Asura doesn’t have a powerful sword right now. If he wants to fight continuously, he must change his sword frequently, so as long as the troops responsible for dealing with Asura don’t have swords, they can cut off Asura’s ‘supply’.”

“Three: Asura’s current state doesn’t seem to be good.”

“The state is very bad?” Bai Xiang asked suspiciously, “How did you see it?”

“It’s not obvious. My intuition told me.” Sakuma said lightly, “Baixiang, I’ll give you two tasks now.”

Hearing the word “mission”, Bai Xiang’s expression immediately became serious.

“The first task: Go help me send orders to the various units: When fighting Shura, you must not carry any swords with you. Shura is far more powerful than we imagined, and he has a short gun on his body. He must not be in close combat with him at the same time. Beware of the short gun on him. At the same time, inform the troops: Shura’s current physical condition is suspected to be poor, but even so, you can’t be careless.”

“The second task: I will give you 8 people to clean up the battlefield just now. Don’t let our warriors be exposed like this.”

“Yes.” Bai Xiang said respectfully.

After politely agreeing, Bai Xiang seemed to recall something, paused, and then asked Sakuma:

“Sakuma, do you want to gather up the corpse of what Yuji?”

“Huh?” Sakuma glanced at Baixiang, “Why did you suddenly feel so kind. Do you want to collect that old man’s body as well?”

“It’s not a kindness.” Bai Xiang grinned, “I just feel that my current task is to collect the corpse, so I can handle the corpse of the knifemaker who is not very far away.”

“After all, the old man was quite miserable, and what happened to him can be regarded as a disaster.”

“If it wasn’t for helping Shura repair the sword, he probably wouldn’t have encountered such a miserable thing.”

“Don’t do this kind of trivial things that will only waste time.” Sakuma said without hesitation, “After collecting the corpses, go back to the ‘base’ to gather, don’t let me find out what you did and I’ll give it to you unrelated to the mission.”

“Okay. If you don’t let me collect that person’s body, then I won’t accept it.” Looking at Sakuma’s resolute tone, Bai Xiang shrugged helplessly.

…

…

The home of Master Yu Er not far from here—

hum hum…

The sound of a fly flapping its wings was the only sound in this dilapidated hut.

In the house, it can be said that it has become the nest of flies.

Some flies are flying in the air.

Some flies… landed on Yu Er, whose eyes were wide open, his head was slashed, and he had no life at all, resting and laying eggs on Yu Er’s corpse.

This home, which was originally simple but well-organized, is now in a mess.

There are traces of people flipping and finding things everywhere.

All the knives in the house are gone.

In this knifemaker’s house, the only remaining knives are kitchen knives.
