I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 602

After Ogata praised A-Machi softly, he lightly tapped the horse's belly again, increasing the speed of the horse under his crotch by another level.

The distance to Alexei and others who had fallen from the horse was shortened in one breath.

Ogata held Da Zizai with the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and the rein with the remaining three fingers.

Da Shitian in his right hand was raised high, covering the moonlight, casting a huge shadow on Alexei and the others who just got up from the ground.

laugh!

The sound of blood and bones being chopped up sounded.

The potential energy of the horse's charge, combined with Ogata's swordsmanship, how powerful is it?

Ogata felt as if he was cutting a flimsy piece of paper, and easily chopped off the head of one of Alexei's guards.

This was the first time that Ogata slashed and killed an enemy while sitting on horseback.

Sitting on horseback and slashing enemies, the most difficult thing is to find out the timing of the knife.Let the timing and speed of your knife match the speed of the horse under your crotch.

But for Ogata, who has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely experienced in sword fighting, and has entered the "state of selflessness", such things as finding the time to draw the sword are nothing more than a trivial matter.

After slashing and killing one of Alexei's guards, Ogata reined in his horse and stopped the horse under his crotch.

Although it is very powerful to slash and kill enemies while riding a horse, the efficiency of killing enemies is very low.

Even Ogata, with the horse galloping under his crotch, couldn't kill too many people in one go.

If you want to deal with Alexei and the others on horseback, you have to charge several times to kill them all.

Ogata, who dismounted from his horse, ran towards Alexei and the others who were only a dozen steps away from him with a pair of knives in hand.

If you were unlucky to fall off a fast-running horse, you might fall to your death.

Luckily for Alexei, neither he nor his guards fell to their deaths.

However, there are varying degrees of injuries.

Alexei did not know what the rest were like.

All he knew was pain in his neck, chest, and right arm.

Although the neck hurts, but the body can barely stand up, it should not be paralyzed.

My chest hurts, but I can still breathe.

The injury to the right arm appears to be more serious.

The right arm twisted from the position of the elbow to a position that is absolutely impossible to twist normally.

Broken bones, pierced skin, exposed outside the body, just looking at it feels creepy.

But it would be inaccurate to say that Alexei and the others were lucky that they didn't fall directly to death.

Because Alexei barely got up from the ground, he saw a man riding a horse running from behind them, and then chopped off the head of a guard beside him with a knife.

It was the Japanese who killed Vladimir and others in seconds.

Afterwards, Alexei saw the Japanese get off his horse and gallop towards them

Those who could still hold their swords hurriedly drew out their sabers.

None of the group of people who had just fallen from the horses was in good health, and only half of them could pull out their knives properly.

Ogata didn't even look at these people who drew their swords.

His eyes were fixed on Alexi the whole time because Alexei was dressed the most gorgeously, and he didn't look like a person of ordinary status.

Ogata decided to kill this guy who didn't look like an ordinary person first, and then deal with the others slowly.

But just when Ogata was about to rush to Alexei, Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly.

Because he saw Alexei who was showing resentment, gritted his teeth, took out a pistol from his pocket, and pointed the muzzle at Ogata.

After aiming the gun at Ogata who was rushing straight towards him, Alexei's eyes showed a look of pride as if he saw his plan succeed.

The musket that is popular in Europe now is the kind of flintlock pistol that can only be fired once.

Whether it is power or range, they are far inferior to long-barrel muskets.

Therefore, no matter which country it is, pistols have not been installed in the army on a large scale. Only those commanders will have pistols for self-defense and pretense.

The same goes for the Cossacks.

Only a Cossack of a certain status can own a pistol.

And Alexei happened to be one of the small group of people who were entitled to own a pistol.

Although pistols are far inferior to muskets in terms of power and range, they are very suitable for use as concealed weapons because they are easy to carry.

Alexei has always regarded his only pistol as his ultimate killer.

Alexei, who always liked to boast about his military strength, never dared to tell others that he actually relied on his pistol to overwhelm many people in many duels without spectators.

His favorite trick is to suddenly draw out his pistol to shoot at the enemy when the opponent rushes over.

This trick was tried and tested, and opponents often died under his gun because they had no time to react.

Alexei wanted to run for his life, but now that the Japanese killed himself, Alexei also decided not to make any reservations, and directly used his strongest weapon against the Japanese.

boom!

The next moment Alexey pointed the gun at Ogata, he directly pulled the trigger.

For Alexei who suddenly pulled out his pistol, while Ogata was surprised, he also felt a strange sense of intimacy.

Isn't it Ogata's favorite thing to suddenly draw a gun at the enemy?

There is a feeling of discovery.

Driven by this strange sense of closeness, Ogata decided to pay homage to this "fellow lover" as a fellow "pistol lover"!

boom!

Alexei fired.

For how to dodge bullets and split bullets, Ogata has his own experience, and also has the experience taught by Genichi before.

Genichi once said to Ogata in Edo: As long as you look at the muzzle of the iron cannon and the action of the enemy pulling the trigger, as long as your feet are more flexible, then anyone can dodge bullets.

Ogata deeply agrees with Genichi's words.

No small movement of Alexei can escape the eyes of Ogata who has entered the "Non-Self Realm".

After keenly seeing that Alexei's right index finger began to bend, Ogata immediately made a step and stepped to the side.

The next moment Ogata stepped aside, the bullet shot out along the barrel of the gun, passing through the position where Ogata was standing just now.

Then, Ogata held Dazizai with the ring finger and little finger of his left hand, and stretched his thumb, index finger, and middle finger into his bosom.

Pulled out his Kasumi.

Ogata decided to use his pistol to take care of this rare friend.

Let him see how the pistol works.

Raise the gun, aim, pull the trigger.

There was a shot much louder than that of Alexei's pistol.

At this distance, even Ogata would not miss it.

Kaname's bullet directly smashed Alexei's face that was still proud of "the plan was successful".

Because Ogata's movements were too fast, Alexei, who hadn't reacted at all, still had a smug expression on his face until his head was blown off.

There is nothing to say about what happened next.

After killing Alexei with one shot, Ogata took Kasumi back into his arms, and then rushed into Alexei's surviving guards.

Ogata did not use the blade.

The reason why there is no use of blade counter is also very simple.

It's just to use both knives for attack and get rid of this group of people faster.

Ogata opened his bow left and right, and put both swords in his hands into the attack on these people.

Every time Da Shitian and Da Zizai swing out, they will definitely take away a life.

It took only two short breaths for Alexey and others to become corpses that fell in the snow and their body temperature began to drop, just like Vladimir and others just now.

"Hahaha"

Ogata's breathing has also become a little short after the battle has been fought.

Ogata didn't count how many people he and A-Ming have killed so far.

But there must still be many Cossacks who are still wandering in the village and still alive.

Ogata turned his head to look at Alexei whose head was blown off.

This guy is the same as the guy who was killed by him with a sword just now, and his status is not low at first glance. Although his head was blown off, he can still see his facial features clearly.

Ogata intends to let people hold the heads of Vladimir and Alexei, so that the remaining Cossacks who are still alive can see the heads of these two people who are not small, and the morale of the Cossacks who are still alive.

Just when Ogata was thinking about whether to let A-Machi be responsible for lifting the heads of these two people, Ogata suddenly heard an Ainu voice coming from his side:

"&p;p;!"

Looking sideways, a group of villagers were running towards Ogata with spears or bows and arrows, with excited expressions on their faces.

Ogata looked intently and found that among the Ainu people, there were some familiar faces, as if they were people he had just rescued.

While Ogata was thinking about how to communicate with the villagers who arrived suddenly, a middle-aged man spoke in not-so-standard Japanese:

"Thank you. Thank you very much indeed."

Ogata had some impressions of this strong man, he seemed to be one of the group of people rescued by Ogata just now.

"you are welcome."

After Ogata briefly responded to the Japanese-speaking man's thanks, he asked:

"What are you here for?"

"There are still quite a few white-skinned thieves in the village." The strong man replied sonorously, "We haven't reached the time to rest yet."

In a simple sentence, it is clear why they came. They want to continue to fight this group of attacking Cossacks, instead of hiding aside and watching Ogata fight alone.

After Ogata glanced at the strong man with a little surprise, he turned his gaze and quickly scanned the faces of the villagers who suddenly rushed in front of him.

A faint smile appeared on the face that was too lazy to show any expression because of entering the "Non-Self Realm".

The mental outlook of the villagers has changed a lot from before.

Most of the villagers that Ogata met just now had lost their will to fight, and only anger, fear, and nervousness remained on their faces.

But now, the group of villagers in front of Ogata are all holding the weapons in their hands tightly, their faces are full of high-spirited fighting spirit and excited interest, focusing their scorching eyes like burning flames on Ogata.

The reason why their mental outlook has undergone such a huge change is because of Ogata.

Many of them were rescued by Ogata just now.

They witnessed the helplessness of those Cossacks when they faced Ogata, and Ogata's heroic demeanor of beheading those Cossacks like chopping melons and vegetables.

It was as if a sudden fire dispelled the darkness.

The appearance of Ogata rekindled their desire to survive and the will to fight.

And Ogata also became their backbone invisibly.

Ogata also has some respect for the villagers who didn't wait for others to save them.

And these villagers who came suddenly also helped Ogata a lot.

Ogata is now wondering how to let the Cossacks who are still alive see the two guys who look like commanders he just killed.

Ogata cut off the heads of Vladimir and Alexei, and then let the fighting villagers hold them up with spears.

It's a pity that none of them speak Lucian.

If you shout "Your general has been taken by us" in Lucian, it will have an even better blow to morale.

The villagers who rekindled their fighting spirit followed Ogata and pursued the Cossacks who were still alive.

The expressions of the only remaining people changed greatly after seeing the heads of Vladimir and Alexei being held up high.

Their morale fell like an avalanche, and their fighting spirit melted away like snow in spring.
