I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The reason why Ogata chose to take off his human skin mask before rushing into the camp of the shogunate army was to launch a "spiritual attack" on the generals of the shogunate army.

Ogata didn't know if the army that was currently besieging the Red Moon Fortress was the first army that had some "bad memories" with him before.

But no matter how you say it, it is worth trying this "spiritual attack".

According to the current situation, Ogata's "spiritual attack" can be considered a success.

Judging from the reaction of the general in front of him and his scream just now, this army seems to be the first army that seems to have a wonderful fate with him.

However, Ogata couldn't care less about expressing his feelings for this "reunion" now. After breaking through the block of the general who led hundreds of soldiers, Ogata tapped the horse's belly with his heel again with moderate force.

Carrot let out a low neigh, obeyed his master's order, and continued to rush straight towards the seemingly endless depths of the barracks ahead.

...

...

First Army Camp, Commander's Camp

"Send an order to Kasuga and Iichang to restrain their troops."

In the commander's camp, Gui Yi was issuing military orders one after another in an orderly manner.

When he learned that someone had attacked the camp, and the attacker seemed to be Ogata Yidao Zhai, Gui Yizheng's head went blank for a moment.

But to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Inamori and sent to the First Army to take over the position of Sheng Tianmu, he still has some skills.

After his mind went blank for a moment due to various emotions such as astonishment, composure, and fear, he quickly regained his sanity and composure.

Then, he quickly integrated all the information he knew so far, and issued military orders one after another.

Gui Yizheng is also the kind of general who has experience in war that is very precious in the Edo period of the current 200 years of peace, although he is only fighting bandits and peasants who dared to revolt.

The "Tianming Famine" that ravaged the country for seven years directly led to the number of peasant uprisings and a surge in the number of bandits.

Many generals headed by Gui Yizheng,

Relying on the pacification of the peasant uprising army and bandits caused by the famine in Tianming, I have accumulated a little experience in marching and fighting.

Even those who have no combat experience and have only read military books know that if the camp is attacked, the most important thing is to ensure that the camp is not in chaos.

If the camp is in chaos, it is very easy to have the phenomenon of "one's own people killing their own people".

So after regaining his composure, the first military order Gui Yizheng issued was to send orders to the generals in various parts of the battalion, asking them to restrain their troops and not let them mess up.

As long as the barracks are not in chaos, everything will be fine.

After Gui Yizheng gave a series of orders in one breath, a messenger suddenly rushed to the commander's camp, and loudly identified himself to Gui Yizheng in the camp. He said he was the messenger sent by Kuroda, and he was Here to deliver the news to Gui Yizheng on behalf of Kuroda.

After learning that the messenger was sent by Kuroda, Gui Yizheng hurriedly sent the messenger inside.

As soon as the messenger entered the camp, he immediately reported loudly:

"My lord! Kuroda-sama wants me to tell my lord that he will lead 150 infantry to encircle and suppress the bandits!"

"Has Kuroda led his troops to encircle and suppress the bandits?" Gui Yizheng raised his eyebrows.

After pondering for a while, he nodded lightly: "...That's fine. Someone has to be responsible to stop the thief."

As soon as Gui Yizheng finished his murmur, another messenger rushed into the tent.

This messenger was sent by Gui Yizheng to observe the movements of the culprits in real time, so he had the privilege of entering the camp immediately without notification.

"The thief has arrived at the area where Lord Xiaonishi's troops are stationed!"

Gui Yizheng naturally knows exactly where Xiaoxi's troops are stationed.

After hearing the report from the messenger, Gui Yizheng frowned instantly. Then he muttered in a low voice that only he could hear clearly:

"Where is he going..."

Gui Yizheng has been paying close attention to the movements of the attacking thieves.

Integrating the current known movements of the thief, Gui Yizheng instantly discovered something strange. The thief seemed to be heading straight south.

Neither wreak havoc nor confrontation.

Just head straight south.

This posture... as if he was in a hurry to leave...

"How is the battle on the front line now?" Gui Yizheng asked.

"The generals are trying their best to stop it." The orderly replied, "but the thief's horse is too fast and his skill is...really good, so far he has not been successfully intercepted..."

"Tsk..." Gui Yizheng's face darkened, "Damn..."

...

...

Ogata now has no idea where he has rushed.

I don't know how far I am from rushing out of the barracks.

His brain is now unable to think about everything other than "battle", and all the computing power of his brain is used in judging the battle and the situation.

This is a battle aimed at "leaving here", and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for Ogata.

In order to avoid being shot by arrows, Ogata has been driving the irregular curve of the radish to move flexibly, making it more difficult for the archer to shoot.

Move flexibly, while avoiding arrows, also avoid enemy soldiers.

Relying on his own extremely high mobility, Ogata avoided all the enemy soldiers he could avoid.

Unavoidable, and then use "physical methods" to solve.

Those enemy soldiers that could not be avoided were either chopped off by Ogata with a sword, or knocked away by carrots.

From time to time, Ogata could hear the sound of arrows piercing the air.

But these arrows shot by Asaogata could only hit the afterimages left by the high-speed movement of the radish in vain.

At this time, Ogata suddenly saw a small cavalry team attacking him in front of him.

This small cavalry team consisted of more than a dozen people, and the leader wore armor that was far more luxurious than ordinary ashigaru, and the horses on his crotch were obviously better than those of the rest of the cavalry behind him.

Ogata also didn't know how to judge the rank of a general based on the style of his armor. He only knew that the small cavalry team in front of him was most likely Shimoto's patrol team who was guarding outside the camp, and was ordered to come back to the camp to stop him.

Due to the lack of high-quality war horses, cavalry is an extremely expensive arm in Japan, so the samurai who can serve as cavalry are not ordinary samurai.

Ogata simply looked at the cavalry team that appeared in front of him, and he clearly felt that the dozens of cavalry warriors in front of him were far from ordinary ashigaru in terms of physique and momentum.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" When the dozen or so cavalrymen rushed straight towards Ogata, the general at the head kept shouting loudly.

Hearing this shout, all the generals standing between them and Ogata consciously stepped aside.

Facing the dozen or so incoming cavalrymen, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, and then bit the rein he had been holding with his left hand in his mouth, freeing his left hand.

Ogata greeted the dozen or so cavalry without hesitation.

And the radish under his crotch is also like this, among the four hooves that are constantly crisscrossing and spreading, there is no fear or retreat.

When Radish's horse's head and that of the cavalry general were about to cross each other, the cavalry general clenched his spear tightly and stabbed Ogata with it.

When the gun was about to hit Ogata's chest

clang!

Ogata used his left hand to pull out the Da Zizai from his waist at a speed much faster than the cavalry general's spear, and pushed the general's spear away.

The heads of the horses crossed and the sword flashed.

The cavalry general staggered past the horse and slid off the horse, leaving only a little flesh and blood on the neck.

Ogata's Da Shitian's blade once again drank a fistful of hot blood.

No-self two-sword flow·circulation.

The light of the swords wielded by the two knives enveloped every cavalryman who passed by him.

Every slash he swung could hit every cavalryman's vital point with extreme precision.

And the attacks of these cavalry were either blocked or avoided.

After completely passing by these dozens of cavalrymen, it was like a magic trick. These ten or so cavalrymen who were majestic just now are all like soaked noodles, bleeding from the horse while slipping Down.

After breaking through the blocking of these dozens of cavalry, Ogata's pupils suddenly shrank.

Then, Ogata's body reacted before his brain, and he slammed to the left.

laugh!

An arrow shot past Ogata's right side.

Although he failed to hit Ogata, he managed to take away some of Ogata's clothes and flesh.

In the "Non-Self Realm", Ogata's pain has eased, but Ogata can still feel the burning sensation coming from his left abdomen.

If Ogata had taken a step back just now, the arrow would have sunk directly into Ogata's flank.

Gotta go faster...

Not having the time to treat the wound slowly, Ogata thought secretly in his heart, and continued to charge forward with the carrot.

Ogata could clearly feel that the barracks' counterattack was getting stronger and stronger.

Although the barracks has now become noisy because of his "visit", it just "looks a bit chaotic", and the order of the barracks has not collapsed.

After all, no matter how Ogata can fight, there is only one man and one horse.

No matter how sharp the sword is, it can only cut things within 3 feet.

The momentum and destructive power caused by one man and one horse are always limited, and it is difficult for a military camp to have a "camp roar" due to panic.

The reason why the order of the barracks has not collapsed is not only because Ogata has one man and one horse, and what he can do is limited, but also because this army has maintained a vigilant posture since its arrival at the Red Moon Fortress.

Today is not what it used to be.

The last time Ogata was able to settle accounts with Mogami Yoshihisa, he was able to win a big victory and retreat unscathed. A considerable part of the reason was that the generals of the First Army did not expect that they would be attacked.

But now it is different.

After arriving at the Red Moon Fortress, in order to prevent the barbarians in the fortress from attacking them, the whole battalion has been on alert.

If it weren't for the short camping time, and the fences, high platforms for shooting and other fortifications had not been built in the future, Ogata might have had to spend a lot of effort on how to break into the barracks.

Ogata chose to leave the wound on his side temporarily behind him, and after shaking off the blood on Da Zizai's sword, he put the sword back into its sheath.

How far is it from outside the camp...

Ogata raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and there was still a tent that seemed to have no end...

The scene in front of him made Ogata's heart sink.

But... at the same time as his heart sank, a set of conversations suddenly emerged from Ogata's mind.

[Then do you believe in miracles? 】

【……I believe. 】

This is the conversation he had with A-cho when he just said goodbye to him.

Ogata gritted his teeth, and continued to hold the rein and sword tightly in his hand.

At this moment, if someone carefully observes Ogata's eyes, he will surely find that there are some... strange changes in Ogata's pupils.

In Ogata's eyes, there is a new light that is very different from the "selfless state" flashing.

...

...

After swiping his knife again and cutting down several infantry standing in front of him, Ogata finally saw... what he had always wanted to see.

He saw that not far away, he could no longer see any camps.

Get out of this barracks soon!

Seeing that success is right in front of him, Ogata's spirit couldn't help but be lifted.

But the spirit that had just been cheered up was suppressed by the sudden change in front of him.

I saw a large number of pawns holding spears suddenly appeared on the left and right sides of the front.

These pawns advanced in a fast running manner, and the order was unstable.

They appeared from the left and right sides in front of Ogata at an extremely fast speed, and then quickly formed a half-moon formation.

Forming a half-moon formation, these infantry leveled their spears, pointing directly at Ogata.

At the same time, there are quite a few archers behind the half-moon formation, and these archers have also stretched their bows and arrows into a full moon.

If you hit this spear formation, you will definitely die. No matter how powerful the radish is, it is impossible to pass through the spear formation.

So Ogata immediately reined in the horse, forcing Carrot to stop.

When Ogata looked at the gun formation that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes with a sullen face, a shout suddenly exploded:

"Advance slowly! Assassinate the enemy!"

Ogata followed the shout and found that he was still a somewhat familiar person.

Wearing black and red battle armor, this person rode a war horse that was only slightly taller than Carrot. He stood behind the spear array, looking at Ogata with eyes mixed with fear. .

This person is Kuroda.

Looking at Ogata, who was soaked in blood and half of his body was flushed with blood, Kuroda couldn't help swallowing:

It's really Ogata Ichidousai...

When Ogata attacked their barracks, Kuroda happened to be resting in his tent.

Not long after he learned that someone had attacked the camp, Kuroda immediately learned that many people had witnessed it: The person who attacked seemed to be that Ogata Ittosai.

When he first heard the news, the first thought that popped into Kuroda's mind was actually to run away.

The last battle with Ogata left an indelible shadow on Kuroda.

However, the fear turned into fear, and under the encouragement of "Samurai Glory", Kuroda finally chose to stand up.

Kuroda mobilized what he could quickly mobilize, 150 infantry.

Like Gui Yizheng, he paid close attention to Ogata's movements, and then, like Gui Yizheng, he found that Ogata's way of advancing was a bit strange, and he kept rushing straight south.

Although he didn't know why Ogata chose this way of advancing, Kuroda boldly chose to predict where Ogata would reach in the future based on Ogata's way of advancing, and then deployed his troops there in advance, waiting for Ogata From cast a net.

And Kuroda made the right bet.

He made a bet on where Ogata would arrive later.

His deployment was not in vain.

Kuroda, who cast an extremely strong psychological shadow on Ogata, now has no other desires.

I just want to let Ogata in front of me die quickly.

As long as Ogata in front of him is still breathing, he will only feel uneasy.

So Kuroda didn't say a word of nonsense, and immediately ordered the attack after the half-moon-shaped spear array against Ogata took shape.

Hundreds of spearmen surrounded Ogata at a trot speed.

Ogata scanned the gun array in front of him, his face serious.

hateful……

Ogata, who usually seldom utters foul language, rarely said "Damn" in his heart at this time.

I was about to rush out of this camp, but I killed a large number of enemy soldiers who could tell at a glance that they had ambushed in advance... This kind of quick contrast made Ogata's face uncontrollably ugly.

This half-moon-shaped spear array not only has spearmen, but also archers. Now if they turn around and find another way, it is not so simple...

Since there is no way to escape, there is only one option left.

"bring it on."

After Ogata finished speaking in a calm tone, he put the rein in his left hand into his mouth again.

But at this moment, when Ogata's left hand was about to pull out the Da Zizai around his waist, the pupils of his eyes shrank suddenly because he was frightened by the scene in front of him.

The scene in front of Ogata suddenly changed.

He suddenly could no longer see ordinary people.

He suddenly saw clearly the movement of the muscles and the flow of blood of the generals in front of him...
