I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The strength of this wooden wall was much lower than the officer had imagined. Looking at the wooden wall that began to slope inward after just one impact, the officer's face showed a little joy.

He waved his big hand several times in a row, signaling his subordinates to start the next collision immediately.

Boom! !

The second impact further increased the inclination of the wooden wall.

Boom! !

With the third impact, the wooden wall was about to fall to the ground.

Boom! !

After the fourth impact, the wooden wall in this area was finally completely smashed to the ground, exposing a gap nearly two rooms wide.

"Follow me!" As soon as the two wide gaps appeared, the officer roared, pulled out the knife from his waist, and rushed into the wall along the gap.

The officer did not lead all his men inside.

Instead, the troops were divided again here-leaving 30 soldiers to guard the gap to prevent the islanders in the wall from escaping along the gap.

90 generals, including the commanding officer, were responsible for entering the wall together and destroying all living people inside the wall.

After rushing into the wall, the first group of living people they encountered were the young villagers who were in charge of guarding the rice fields.

The sound of the shogunate using battering rams to break the wooden wall could be heard in every corner of Fenghe Village.

The villagers who were closest to the wooden wall and were in charge of guarding the rice fields, naturally heard the four muffled sounds when the shogunate army hit the wall just now.

They looked dazed and hadn't figured out what happened before they saw groups of soldiers in black armor rushing towards them.

"Hey! Who are you..."

Before a young man's questioning sound fell, five soldiers of the shogunate army rushed forward, and four of them pierced his body with long spears in their hands.

The soldier who was not in charge of the attack wrapped his head around the dead villager's head after his companions drew back the stabbing spear.

The young man's death was just the beginning.

In just a few breaths, all the villagers in charge of guarding the field were slaughtered by the incoming shogunate soldiers.

The generals of the shogunate army all acted in groups-the total number of each group was 5 people, and they attacked the villagers in groups.

After the soldiers of each group joined hands to kill the villagers, they would immediately wrap the heads of the dead villagers with sacks.

In this way, after the villager dies and becomes an ogre, it will not be able to pose any threat to them because of the blocked vision.

This is the most effective tactic against ogres designed by the shogunate based on the fact that ogres only attack living people within their field of vision.

Although the ogre cannot be killed, it can be restrained by this tactic.

After wrapping the head of a villager who had just died by their hands in a burlap bag, a group of soldiers let out a sigh of relief, and then sighed to their companions:

"It would be great if we could have known this weakness of the ogre earlier when we launched the general attack on Butterfly Island."

Just after the "ogre rebellion" broke out on Butterfly Island and the islanders on the island asked the shogunate for help, the shogunate immediately sent Inamori to lead an army to wipe out the cannibals on the island.

At that time, neither the islanders of Butterfly Island nor the shogunate army knew that ogres would only attack living people within sight.

So in that general attack on Butterfly Island, the shogunate army, who were helpless against the ogre, suffered a disastrous defeat. The army withdrew hurriedly shortly after landing on the island.

The 150 elite soldiers responsible for obliterating all living people on the island this time basically participated in the big defeat at that time, and they all still remember the big defeat at that time.

As soon as the soldier's emotion fell, a comrade standing next to him sneered:

"Our tactics can only be effective when the number of ogres is small."

"As long as the number of ogres is large, dozens or hundreds of ogres rush towards us side by side and at the same time, where do you have the time and opportunity to put sacks on their heads one by one?"

After hearing this sentence from his comrade-in-arms, the soldier who just expressed his emotion immediately fell silent-because his comrade-in-arms was right.

Their tactics are indeed only effective when the number of cannibals is small. Once they are large in number and rush towards them in groups, there is basically no time and space to seal these cannibals one by one. The vision of ghosts—unless their total strength is several times, or even ten times, that of ogres.

After clearing out the villagers near the paddy field, the generals of the shogunate army did not stop at all, but immediately divided into groups and marched towards the depths of the wall...

...

...

Although the strange muffled sounds no longer sounded, not long after the 4 strange muffled sounds fell, both Ogata and Atachi heard new strange sounds coming from outside the house.

And this new strange sound seems to be... shouting and screaming.

Ogata and A-Machi, whose expressions changed one after another, rushed to the window and looked out the window.

Although the light was not good, the two could barely see clearly—group after group of soldiers with helmets and armor pouring into the village from all directions, launching an indiscriminate massacre of all the villagers within their sights massacre.

Regardless of whether the villagers in front of them are men or women, old or young; no matter whether the villagers in front of them are roaring or begging to go around, these soldiers who suddenly poured into the village will ruthlessly wave their knives and guns.

"The shogunate army...!" After muttering in such a deep voice, Ogata, with a dark face, picked up the sword he had just put aside, and rushed out of the room

And A-Ming also hurriedly put back on the socks she just took off, picked up her own weapon, followed closely behind Ogata, and rushed out of the room together with Ogata.

As soon as they rushed out of the room, the two saw Mamiya and Mucun who happened to be rushing out of the next room with sullen faces—the room of Mamiya and Mucun was next to Ogata and the others.

While seeing Mamiya and Mucun, Ogata and the others also saw a girl rushing up the stairs.

This girl is the only maid in the Konnosuke family.

After rushing up to the third floor where Ogata and his party were, the anxious maid shouted anxiously to Ogata and his party in a crying tone:

"The army of the shogunate is attacking!"

"How could it be..." A-Ming's face turned pale, "Why did the army of the shogunate attack at this time... and they are still killing people indiscriminately..."

Compared to the pale-faced Atachi and the maid who was about to cry, Ogata, Mamiya, and Mucun were much calmer.

"Where is the nearby help?" Ogata asked the maid in a calm tone.

Ogata's calm appearance and calm tone affected the maid invisibly, and gradually calmed down the maid who was flustered due to anxiety.

"Master Konnosuke is on the first floor right now! Commanding the villagers to hide in his house!"
