Volume 4: The Undead Chapter 244: The enemy general has been captured by me! (Part 1)
Ogata did not count how many soldiers the three of them had killed.
All I knew was that the group of surviving soldiers in front of me were already showing expressions of fear .
He didn't dare to rush forward shouting and wielding a knife like he did just now.
They were all crowded at the other end of the corridor near the gate.
He dared neither move forward nor retreat.
After the shogunate soldiers broke down the gate, Ogata noticed the guy dressed as an officer.
The armor that guy wore was obviously much more advanced than that of the other soldiers.
At the same time, he was wearing an extremely conspicuous helmet on his head - there was a decoration like a bull's horn on each side of the helmet.
Dressing like this is like saying loudly to Ogata - "Hey, I am the commander of this gang."
Whether in his previous life or in this life, Ogata has never learned any military strategies.
But Ogata still knew some basic principles of military strategy.
For example - capture the leader first; shoot the horse first.
Ogata had been targeting this guy from the very beginning.
However, because the number of enemies was relatively large at the beginning, it was very difficult to break through the layers of human walls.
And now - because many people have fallen to the ground, the human wall between Ogata and the officer has become much thinner.
A thought began to echo in Ogata's mind: It's time!
"Mamiya."
While softly calling Mamiya's name, Ogata raised the katana in his right hand and placed it on the inside of his left elbow with the blade facing upwards.
Use the inner elbow of your left arm to clamp the blade from the base of the blade to the back, hold the handle tightly with your right hand and slowly pull it to the right, from the base of the blade to the tip of the blade, and wipe the blade clean with the clothes at the inner elbow of your left arm.
"Cover me."
"learn."
Ogata did not tell Mamiya Akira what he was going to do.
However, it is strange that even though Ogata did not tell Mamiya Akira what he was going to do, and only said "cover me", Mamiya still understood what Ogata wanted in an instant.
"Let's go."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Fang retaliated and rushed towards the human wall in front of him!
As for Mamiya, he followed closely beside Ogata.
Ogata, who was wearing a light green haori, and Mamiya, who was wearing a dark red haori, turned into two "lights" of completely opposite colors. Their speed was so fast that the generals and soldiers of the shogunate army standing in the front couldn't even react.
For example, the soldier standing in the front - Ogata had already rushed to him, but he was still holding the knife in his hand stupidly, without any reaction - the enemy on the opposite side had already attacked.
A sword pierced through the soldier's face, which was not protected by armor. After the system prompt sounded in his mind, indicating that he had killed the enemy and successfully gained experience points, Ogata did not hesitate at all. He quickly let go of the knife in his hand and leaned over to pull out the other wakizashi that was stuck in the floor at his feet.
After stabbing the newly-pulled sword into the throat of a soldier on the right, he discarded the sword again, pulled out a katana stuck in the wall to his right, and then used the katana to chop at another enemy...
Ogata completely abandoned the idea of pulling the sword back and reusing it.
After killing the enemy with one blow or stabbing him, he would quickly discard the knife, pull out the knife stuck in the ground or wall, and attack the new enemy.
Ogata continued to repeat this process...
Because Ogata completely abandoned the idea of pulling the knife back and reusing it, his current speed of killing enemies has reached an extremely terrifying level - after all, he saved the time of pulling the knife back.
Ogata maintained his speed of killing with one strike, gradually melting away the human wall in front of him, and gradually moving closer to the officer whose face was becoming increasingly ugly...
As for Mamiya, who was following closely behind Ogata, he was also not idle.
Although Ogata's swordsmanship is superb, there are bound to be some loopholes.
And Mamiya's job is to give a finishing blow to all those who have escaped the net.
"Hurry! Come on!"
Looking at Ogata who was getting closer and closer to him, the officer's face turned pale and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Even though his voice had become hoarse, and the soldiers around him were all very brave and charged towards Ogata one after another, but in the face of the absolute difference in strength, his subordinates still fell one after another.
And Ogata is getting closer and closer to him...
The officer noticed sharply that Ogata's eyes were fixed on him...
While constantly moving towards you, he keeps looking at you - any fool can tell what this guy is planning to do!
The officer became more and more anxious when he thought that this madman's target was his head.
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.
Seeing that his subordinates were unable to stop this madman, the officer simply gritted his teeth, clenched the knife in his hand, and shouted with a fierce look on his face:
"Everyone, step back! Let me do it!"
As soon as the officer shouted, the soldiers, as if they had been pardoned, immediately retreated behind the officer like a tide.
As the soldiers retreated, the situation turned into a face-to-face confrontation between the officers and Ogata.
"Prisoner!"
The officer shouted in a deep voice towards Ogata who was standing in front of him.
It is impossible for the residents of this island to possess such a level of swordsmanship. Since the madman in front of him is not an islander, the only identity he could have is a prisoner thrown onto this island.
"I am the general of the samurai - Zoreri Katsu! Tell me your name!"
"Ogata Issei." Ogata said softly, "A ronin. He has nicknames like 'Executioner Itosai' and 'Man-killer Issei'."
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, there were gasps from the soldiers behind Sarai.
Sarai was also one of the people who recognized Ogata.
After suppressing the urge to gasp and exclaim, Zuo Lai said in a deep voice:
"So it's the famous Ogata Ittosai..."
"Ogata Ittosai... come on!"
With a determined look on his face, Zuo Lai slowly raised the knife in his hand and assumed an upper stance.
"General Attendant, New Yinliu, Zorayari Shosenshang!"
Ogata, who was willing to challenge Sarai in a duel, raised the sword in his hand with one arm. Without any posture, he stood leisurely with the sword raised in one arm and his legs apart.
"Ronin, Sakakibara's sword style, Ogata's ability to join in."
Whether it was Mamiya standing behind Ogata, or the soldiers standing behind Sarai, they all consciously stepped back a few steps to leave enough space for Ogata and Sarai.
“Drink aaaaaaah!”
The first person to launch the attack was Zuo Lai.
Zoray's breath sound is quite loud.
The steps he took as he closed the distance between himself and Ogata were also quite skillful - it was obvious at first glance that he was not a mediocre swordsman.
After closing the distance between himself and Ogata in one breath, Sarai launched a fierce attack on Ogata like a storm.
