I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The whole army

After noticing the cavalry team that suddenly appeared behind the army, Inamori no longer cared about the Red Moon Fortress.

Although there were very few cavalry units, they attacked from the rear, unprepared.

If this cavalry team is not stopped in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

Inamori has conveyed the military order to "welcome the enemy" to the troops in the rear. After that, I can only hope that the various units can react as soon as possible, and then start the defense.

After issuing the series of military orders, Inamori looked at the rear of the army with his binoculars, checking the movements of the cavalry team.

Just now, because the distance was still too far, Inamori could not see clearly the movements of this cavalry team, and now-after Ogata broke through the 7th formation, after a little closer, Inamori finally saw clearly : This cavalry team of unknown origin is now about to rush into the 6th formation.

—Has the 7th team been broken...? ! It's too fast!

Although it was expected that the seventh formation, which was completely unprepared, would probably not be able to stop this cavalry team, it was completely unexpected to Inamori that the seventh formation was beaten through so quickly.

Frightened by the cavalry team's breakthrough speed, Inamori's mouth opened slightly uncontrollably.

He had never seen such a powerful cavalry.

Even if the generals of the 7th formation did not deploy defenses, such a breakthrough speed would be too terrifying.

The most elite cavalry in their shogunate should not have such a terrifying strength.

—Who are these cavalry guys? !

Inamori, who sank in his heart, put his eyes closer to the lens, narrowed his eyes, trying to see the face of the attacker, but the long distance made Inamori see everything except the blurry shadows. Less than. He could only vaguely see that the horses that the cavalry ridden were quite large, and seemed to be two or three times larger than their military horses.

—Huge horse...

The name of a certain country popped out of Inamori's mind.

-Lucia's horse... Are these cavalry squadrons Lucia's cavalry? Why would the Lucia cavalry appear here and attack us?

Since just now, the questions in Inamori's mind have been increasing.

There are many senior generals with telescopes on the Honjin Front. Many high-ranking generals around Inamori are now using binoculars to check the battle situation in the rear.

After seeing the cavalry team's breakthrough speed for them, the expression changes of these people became exciting.

Or shrink his neck.

Or swallowed.

"What kind of people are this cavalry team? What is their goal?" A certain general put down his binoculars and whispered the doubts of everyone present with a blank face.

Matsuhira Dingxin was also one of the personnel who used binoculars to check the battle.

His brows hadn't been loosened since just now—though he couldn't see the face of the attacker either. But for some reason, after learning that a cavalry unit of unknown origin had appeared in the rear, the name of a certain man automatically popped up in Matsuba's mind...

…

…

Team 6-

Gui Yizheng looked around like a helpless child, and then looked at the cavalry that was about to crash into their sixth formation.

This cavalry team has now attacked their 6th formation, and almost all the generals of their 6th formation have discovered the uninvited group behind them.

The soldiers at the rear of the 6th formation who were about to be hit by this cavalry team are now in chaos.

Some scattered in order to avoid the impact of the cavalry.

Some took up weapons and spontaneously wanted to meet this cavalry team.

There are also people who are frightened and stand stupidly.

There is no time to think, Gui Yi is gritted his teeth:

"Oh shit…"

After exposing a **** that vented the thousands of emotions in his heart, Gui Yi was conveying military orders one after another to the generals around him.

Now it is too late to arrange all the soldiers of the 6th formation into a spear formation.

Therefore, Gui Yizheng decided to abandon most of the soldiers of the 6th formation.

It probably only had time to mobilize the soldiers around him to form a spear formation to meet the enemy, so Gui Yizheng only conveyed the order of "arrange spear formation" to the surrounding soldiers. As for the other soldiers, let them fend for themselves. .

The formation of the spear formation takes time, so Gui Yizheng sent an order to Kuroda, Akizuki and others who are now on the right wing of the 6th formation: to lead the troops to intercept this unidentified cavalry team and buy time for the formation of the spear formation.

After quickly conveying a series of military orders, Gui Yizheng suddenly heard a general beside him say in a slightly anxious tone:

"My lord! Look! A small amount of reinforcements have come to support us!"

Hearing what the general said, Gui Yizheng hurriedly looked up: I saw a cavalry squad with about 30 people, and each of them was carrying a banner with "San Ye Kui" painted on their backs. , Slammed out of the oblique assassination, and stopped in front of the cavalry team who was blocking the way.

"That's..." Gui Yizheng whispered, "Naito's troops...what are they doing? Then some people rushed up! Do you want to die?!"

…

…

sky.

land.

Carrying his own war horse.

Give most of his vision space to the enemies who are squeezing.

Blood.

Snow stained red with blood.

This is what Ogata now sees.

After leading Skulucci and the others to charge, Ogata has already used the "Breath of Source" and entered the "Selfless Realm."

Ogata is also becoming more and more familiar with the six senses of "the state of no self" that have become extremely keen, and the mood has become very calm.

Although the blood was surging in the body, Ogata's head was still calm, not being dazzled by the blood.

Since rushing into the enemy's army, Ogata's line of sight has not been far away from the flag painted with "Sanye Aoi" waving in the wind.

This big flag is bigger and taller than any other flag.

In the military, there is only one place where there will be such a conspicuous banner that everyone wants to see the design of this flag clearly.

And that place is Ogata's goal-the enemy's main formation!

Ogata's purpose was clear from beginning to end: to inflict unbearable damage on the shogunate and to let the shogunate flee.

And "destroying the shogunate's main formation" is a good way to achieve this goal.

The goal is clear, so Ogata and their charge are also very straightforward. They have been charging straight in the direction of the banner.

But at this moment, just when Ogata and the others were about to crash into the 6th Army's formation—

"That's it!"

A loud shout sounded.

As Ogata walked around, he saw a cavalry unit with about 30 people, coming out from the front right of them, and rushing towards them.

In order to distinguish the enemy from the enemy on the battlefield, soldiers often carry flags representing their own forces on their backs—and this cavalry team that suddenly broke out has carried out this tradition well.

These more than 30 cavalry soldiers who came out suddenly, each of them carried a flag painted with three leaf sunflowers on their backs.

More than 30 military flags with three leaf sunflowers fluttered in the wind as the horses galloped—this scene is quite imposing.

The head of this cavalry squadron is a young man about the same age as Ogata. Even though he had only half of Ogata's men under his command, he still carried a spear and charged Ogata and them without hesitation.

"I am Inamori's general-Naito Shingen! The thief! Stop there!"

Naito Shingen: Inamori's command is a young hero who is trusted and optimistic about Inamori.

With his excellent martial arts, he gained a lot of fame.

Just now, Naito has been faithfully performing the task of leading the cavalry sent by Inamori to patrol, guard, and protect the left wing of the army in the 5th, 6th, and 7th formations.

After Ogata and the others attacked, Naito was just near the sixth team. That's why he was able to intercept Ogata and the others so quickly.

Naito's military strength is only half of Ogata's-but he still takes someone to stop Ogata.

And the reason why he did this was not out of any tactical or strategic considerations-it was simply because he felt that if he saw the enemy, if he did not rush forward bravely, it would damage the honor of the samurai.

Because Naito’s series of actions were driven by reckless actions driven by the "honor of the samurai," he didn’t see it at all... , And did not pay attention to Ogata's face.

Some soldiers behind Naito could see the banner behind Ogata clearly.

Some people who recognized Ogata Ichitosai's appearance had their eyes rounded now.

"Master Naito! Master Naito!"

"My lord! Please don't be reckless!"

The soldiers yelled anxiously—but it was too late.

The weapon Naito used was a spear of amazing length. When the soldiers behind him just uttered a sound, he had already pierced Ogata with his spear.

Ogata quickly leaned to his side, and the cold tip of the spear passed over Ogata's shoulder armor, wiping out a string of electric fire.

With this shot alone, it was easy to see: This young teenager has some abilities.

Of course-it's just "somewhat capable".

Before Naito had time to retrieve his spear, Okina suddenly raised his left hand and grabbed the barrel of Naito's spear.

Because of the need to control the rein by hand from time to time, Da Zizai retracted the scabbard just before breaking through the seventh formation.

"Get me down."

After uttering a calm word without any emotion, Ogata's left arm holding the barrel of the gun suddenly exerted force. This powerful force was transmitted along the barrel of the gun to Naito's arms, making Naito's face big. Change.

Realizing that something was wrong, Naito wanted to release the barrel of the gun in his palm, but he was still a step late—he was thrown off the horse by Ogata brute force with a gun.

Naito watched the white snowfield rush towards him, and then, countless gold stars began to fly in front of him, and a shattered pain spread all over his body.

Before he recovered, he heard the sound of horses hooves approaching.

The last scene that appeared in front of his eyes—the light of a knife swept towards his head...

And the last sentence that emerged in Naito's mind was: Is this the strength that a normal person has...?

General: Naito Xinyuan-died in battle!

…

…

Although Naito's cavalry team appeared very handsome, they exited very embarrassedly. In the face of the charge of Ogata and others, Naito and the others... said it was ugly, but it was vulnerable.

Naito was directly brutally thrown off the horse by Ogata, and was killed by a single knife. The rest of the men and horses he brought were also defeated by Skulucci and others behind Ogata like cutting melons and vegetables.

After quickly solving the "uninvited guests" that Naito and the group did not hold Ogata and others for a few seconds from beginning to end, Ogata and others returned to the right track and continued to rush straight to the sixth formation.

This time, no one came to obstruct. Ogata and the others successfully crashed into the sixth formation.

The soldiers of the 6th formation and the 7th formation did not make any preparations to meet the enemy at all, so the situation in front of Ogata was the same as the situation when the 7th formation was just attacked—the soldiers who could not cope with their charge, were Kill you to throw away your helmet and armor.

…

…

Just now, when I saw that Naito led such a small force to go head-to-head with others, I already guessed the ending. So after the annihilation of Naito's army, Gui Yizheng's expression didn't move, and he looked like "It's all in my expectation".

After Ogata and others rushed into the 6th formation, Katsura Yoshihide finally narrowed the distance and was able to barely see the true face of this cavalry squad that did not know where to fight.

"This is... Nanban...?"

Gui Yizheng's eyes, which were almost on the lens, are now full of puzzlement.

That cavalry team is not far from Gui Yizheng now. So through the binoculars, Gui Yizheng clearly saw: the cavalry of this cavalry team all have high nose bridges, deep eye sockets, weird hair colors and pupil colors—all of them are of a southern barbarian. appearance.

In Ezo land, besides the Lucia, Gui Yizheng couldn't think of any other country's Nanban in this place.

"The Lucias...Why would the Lucias attack us at this time...?"

Gui Yizheng murmured incomprehensibly while moving the telescope in his hand.

Gui Yizheng's viewing order was to see the front from the back of the cavalry.

So, after a while, Gui Yizheng's eyes swept to the man at the forefront of the cavalry...

When that man's face, Ogata's face, was reflected in the center of the lens of Katsura Yoshimasa's telescope, at this moment, Katsura Yoshimasa felt the thoughts in his mind...like a broken thread.

The brain just stopped thinking.

How did he come back to his senses.

When did I come back to my senses.

Gui Yizheng can't remember completely.

I just remember that when the brain resumed its functioning, my mouth and throat seemed to have my own consciousness, and moved by myself:

"Report to Honjin!"

The mouth and throat that he moved together made a loud shout that was broken.

"It's the executioner Yidaozai! The one who leads this cavalry team! It's the executioner Yidaozai!"

…

…

"Inamori-sama! Naito Shingen died in battle!"

Hearing this report from the attendant, Inamori's brow jumped uncontrollably.

And the other generals in this formation also showed different expressions because of this battle report-many people have an unbelievable expression.

With his bravery, Naito has always been a well-known existence in the shogunate.

And Naito, who was so brave, died in battle so soon... This made many people feel unbelievable.

And Inamori, who has always admired Naito, now closes his eyes with a little bit of pain.

When he opened it again, he asked the attendant in a deep voice:

"How did Naito Shingen die?"

"According to the battle report just sent by the messenger -" the attendant answered truthfully, "Naito Xinyuan's gun was grabbed by the leader of the enemy rider, and then he was thrown off the horse. Before he stood up, he was caught by the enemy. The riding leader took his life..."

"What?!" Inamori's eyes widened in shock, "Naito Shingen... was that how he died?"

The attendant, who was a little frowned upon by Inamori's gaze, stammered and said, "According to the report submitted...it is indeed the case..."

The shocked expressions on the faces of the rest of the generals in this line became stronger.

"The leader of the enemy rider has such a skill?", "Naito, who is so powerful, was killed like this...", "The incoming enemy is much more powerful than we thought..."...

Inamori, whose face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with black water, turned his head, and looked towards the sixth formation that was constantly screaming for killing in the distance:

"This group of cavalry... who the **** are...?!"

at this time.

Just when Inamori's low roar just fell--

"Master Inamori!"

A herald hurriedly appeared in the formation.

It was a messenger sent by Gui Yizheng.

"Master Gui... see who the leader of this cavalry team is...!"

"?!" Daamori raised his brow, UU reading www.uukanshu.com asked, "Who is it?"

This Herald looked like he had seen a demon's expression, and he looked like he was about to say something terrifying.

He even took a few deep breaths to calm his mind.

After his mood settled down a bit, he used a slightly trembling voice—

"Yes... Executioner Kazuzhai!"

He said a name that made the expressions of everyone in Honjin extremely exciting.
