I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The words of Kinosuke's words just fell, and immediately echoed one after another:

"Kinnosuke-sama is right! You guys calm down!"

"There are so many shogunate soldiers outside, even if you have three heads and six arms, you are not their opponents!"

"What do you want to do? Isn't it because you want to open the door and smash with the soldiers of the shogunate?"

"Don't go to death!"

...

Ogata quietly listened to the criticism of these people around him.

After their criticism fell slightly, he softly repeated what Nearsuke said to him just now:

"How could it be their opponent...?"

After repeating what Kinosuke said to him just now, Ogata smiled slightly at Kinosuke:

"You are right."

"The opponents are nearly a hundred well-armed and rigorously trained shogunate soldiers."

"Even if there are two people who don't know their strengths, Mamiya and Makimura, I'm not sure I can beat them."

"But ah—"

Ogata's conversation suddenly changed.

"Kinosuke-sama, do you know when someone is dead?"

"Huh?" Hearing Ogata's question, Kinosuke looked dazed.

"A person is finished only in one situation. That is when they give up fighting altogether."

Ogata's tone and expression gradually became serious.

"As long as you continue to fight, there is still hope of victory, and it is not considered a loss."

"Even if the odds of winning are slim, I will never put down the sword in my hand."

"After all--:" When he said this, Ogata's face returned to a faint smile, "Below is a ronin who was born with a sword and died for a sword."

After all, Ogata seemed to be too lazy to talk to Kinosuke and the others, holding the bundle of swords in his arms tightly, raising his feet and walking away.

Not two steps farther away, a girl standing not far behind Ogata looked at their back with a puzzled expression, and asked:

"Does this kind of mortal battle have any meaning?"

"After the soldiers from the shogunate rushed in, you might not even be able to kill one of you, and then you were stabbed to death with random guns!"

"Did you get stabbed to death by shogunate soldiers... Maybe."

As soon as the girl's voice fell, she answered without looking back.

"It's just-there are two kinds of courage at the highest level of mankind."

"One is to face the unknown ahead and move forward."

"The other is to face what is destined to be a tragedy and still keep moving forward."

"When the ground fell that day, there should always be a few brave people like this to come forward."

"If no one stands up, I would like to be the pioneer!"

"Sir Kinosuke, take the villagers up to the second or third floor."

"You stay on the first floor, but it will affect our fight."

...

...

At Ogata's request, the villagers headed by Kinosuke, including the few boys who had been in charge of blocking the door, all fled to the third floor of the mansion.

Without the lads blocking the door, the overwhelmed "creak" of the door became louder.

From the louder and louder "squeak", it is not difficult to tell-this door will not last long.

Soon, nearly a hundred soldiers from the shogunate will break through the gate of the mansion, swarm up, and rush into the mansion with teeth and claws.

The four Ogata are now standing in the corridor facing the gate of the mansion.

After looking at the door that was being hit "boom", Mamiya asked Ogata with a wry smile:

"Then-Ogata-kun, we have already taken all the swords we have collected so far according to your instructions. Can you tell us your plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Just now, after learning from the maid on the third floor that the shogunate was attacking, Ogata thought for a while, then said to Mamiya and the others:

"Take all the swords we have collected so far. If my plan goes well, I might be able to rely on the terrain to kill all the incoming shogunate troops."

Ogata didn't say what his plan was on the spot, and only asked Mamiya and the others to take all the swords they had collected so far.

After all of Sotaro and his party were killed just now, Ogata and others uphold the concept of not wasting, and collected all of Sotaro's swords and swords.

After adding up the swords that Sotaro and the others can use, the number of swords currently owned by Ogata and his team has reached a considerable number: 29 swords and 36 swords.

Although I don't understand the reason why Ogata asked to bring all the swords, Mamiya and others decided to believe what plan Ogata said, and followed his instructions to bring all the swords.

"Mamiya, Makimura, Amachi." After Mamiya's question fell, Ogata casually threw the knife in his arms to the ground beside his feet, and said to the three people, "This is Kinosuke's. The layout of the mansion is very special."

"There is no back door, the only entrance is this door on the first floor."

"After entering the gate, we have to go through the corridor under our feet, which is neither long nor short, before we can get to other places on the first floor, or reach the stairs to the second and third floors."

"and so--"

Speaking of this, a meaningful smile appeared on Ogata's face.

"Do you still remember how "General Kenshi" Ashikaga Yoshitsune single-handedly fought against the entire army?"

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Mamiya raised his eyebrows, and then chuckled a few times: "So that's it..."

"Help me set up a position to meet the enemy." Ogata whispered, "Although I don't know what the shogunate suddenly felt nervous, suddenly sent an army to kill.

"But since it's here to kill me, then I won't hesitate to get their lives back."

"I will stay here and hit the shogunate head-on."

"After setting up the position for me, it's up to you whether you want to follow me to meet the shogunate army, or go to the second or third floor to take refuge."

"Ogata-kun." Mamiya shrugged helplessly, "Stay here to help you or go upstairs to evacuate? Are you asking this question in vain?"

...

...

boom!

After instructing the soldiers to make a new round of impact on the door in front of them, the officer finally saw that the door in front of him was deformed obviously.

Looking at the door that was finally unable to hold, the officers and other ordinary soldiers were all beaming with joy.

"Go hard!" the officer yelled, "this door is going to die soon! You can knock it open by one more time!"

Encouraged by the officers, the morale of the soldiers who had been so high because the gate was finally deformed, even more geared up, and their fighting spirit became even more vigorous.

"one two Three!"

After shouting the neat slogan again, the dozen or so soldiers responsible for hitting the wall slammed again and slammed into the door in front of them.

boom!

Bang!

This time, it wasn't just the sound of the door being hit.

There is also the sound of the door falling heavily to the ground after being knocked down~www.wuxiahere.com~ The dozen or so soldiers responsible for hitting the door followed the wooden door that was finally overwhelmed and knocked down to the ground, located in the dozens. Behind the soldier, the rest of the soldiers who were already ready to go immediately couldn't wait to step over the dozens of comrades who fell to the ground following the gate, and rushed into the house along the knocked-open gate.

However, as soon as they rushed into the house, the soldiers were all frightened by the sights that appeared in front of them, and they stopped and froze in place.

Behind the door of the mansion is a corridor that is neither long nor short.

At this moment, the ground and the walls on both sides of this corridor are all filled with knives and threats, the total number of which is as many as dozens.

Dozens of swords are densely distributed throughout this corridor, making this corridor look like a forest—a "steel forest" with swords as trees and flowers.

In the center of this "forest", three people stood.

Three... who seem to be waiting for their arrival.
