I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Yesterday, a book friend asked me if Miao Dao was Japanese Dao.

Let me explain here-Miao Dao and Japanese Dao are two kinds of knives.

The Japanese sword can be understood as the blade of the Dao, plus the hilt of our Chinese sword.

You can watch the movie "Xiuchun Knife 2", in which Master Ding uses Japanese knives.

*****

*****

Ogata became a little interested in the uncle who used Japanese swords as weapons and used Japanese swords in Hosakakou.

As a time traveler, I still have a little bit of intimacy with the Japanese sword and Japanese sword technique produced in Tang soil.

"What's the real name of that impure fast?" Ogata asked.

"Shendu Rouzo." As Hosaka said, he dipped his fingers in the water in the water glass next to him, and wrote the real name of the unclean vegetarian on the wooden board in front of him.

Although Hosaka has a rough appearance, his handwriting is beautiful.

After Hosaka wrote the four beautiful Chinese characters "Shindu Rouzo" on the floor, Ogata couldn't help muttering in his heart:

——It’s alright if this guy’s title is so impressive, but why is his real name so impressive?

Ogata didn't know what other people thought, but he felt that the "unclean fasting" was more compelling than his "one knife fasting".

The word "unclean" in "unclean fast" also has a bit of Zen.

Ogata didn't expect that not only the title of Unclean Zhai was so compelling, but even his real name was so compelling.

Shendu Rouzao - just the surname "Shendu" is very imposing.

"Kamiwata Rouzo... What a good name. Could it be that this Unclean House came from a rich family?" Looking at the very cultured name written by Hosaka on the floor, Ogata couldn't help it. asked like this.

"Hahaha!" Hosaka laughed a few times, "Bujingsai's background is very ordinary! He came from an ordinary samurai family in the Mutsu Aizu Domain."

"As for why his name looks so like Yueqing Yunke's name... I don't know."

In such small chats, Ogata and the others finished tonight's dinner without knowing it.

After dinner, Ogata and the others discussed and decided to let the villagers take advantage of this time to tell them about the current situation of the village.

Except for Huosaka and Mizuno who arrived first, Ogata and others knew almost nothing about this village.

So Ogata and the others planned to take advantage of this time to get to know the village well, and it would be convenient for them to draw up a battle plan against the bandits in the future.

...

...

"Alas..." the "tall, middle-aged man" sighed, "I think we can try to get the young girls in the village to hide in the nearby mountains."

As soon as the "tall middle-aged man" finished speaking, the person sitting beside him immediately said:

"it's useless."

"If we send the young girls up the mountain, what will they eat? We don't have much dry food, so why don't we send them meals every day?"

"Every day we send people to carry a lot of food up the mountain,

Isn't it tantamount to telling the warriors - do we have people hiding in the mountains? "

"Village, village chief!"

At this moment, an anxious young voice sounded from outside the room.

A younger villager rushed into the house.

"What's wrong?" The village head cast a questioning look at the young villager.

"The warriors said that they hoped that we could send someone to tell them about the current situation of the village, so that they can formulate a method to deal with the bandits according to the situation of the village!"

As soon as the words of the young villagers fell, most of the people present showed a faint look of fear.

Some people even shrink back involuntarily.

Tell the samurai what's going on in the village - which means confronting a lot of samurai.

"Hey..." A thinner man present said softly with a frightened look, "If you accidentally touch their knives...will you be hacked to death by them?"

This person's words made the fear on the faces of the people present become more intense.

"...I'll go." The village chief said at this time, "I'll tell the warriors about the current situation of our village."

As soon as the village chief said this, everyone present cast surprised glances at the village chief.

Some people who were worried about the village head said bluntly, "You are too old to go, village head."

But for these people's suggestions, the village head only shook his head.

"I am the village head. I have an obligation to see these warriors invited by us."

"Don't talk too much."

...

...

Accompanied by some villagers, the village chief, who was very stooped, came in front of Ogata and the others.

The village head knew everything, and told Ogata and the others everything he knew.

But what the village chief knows is actually very limited.

The only information he can provide is how many entrances and exits the village has, where the river is, and helping Ogata and others to draw a map of the village.

Ogata and the others originally wanted to inspect the surroundings of the village, but considering that it was already dark now, they had to wait until dawn tomorrow before slowly inspecting the surroundings of the village.

...

...

In order to entertain the warriors of their village in the future, the villagers of this village specially cleaned up some empty houses in the village for the warriors to settle down.

There are enough empty houses, and Ogata and the others can take care of each one.

Ogata and Machi picked out a house big enough for the two of them.

A villager whose name Ogata didn't know took the two of them into the house where they stayed.

This house is also the type of apartment that has only one room, where eating, drinking, sleeping, and entertainment are all carried out in one room.

"Hey~~ It's pretty clean." After entering the room, Ah-Ming stretched out his fingers and wiped everything within reach, and there was almost no dust on his fingers.

You can tell at a glance that it has only been cleaned recently.

"Master Samurai, this house is where you and your wife live." The villager who was in charge of guiding Ogata bowed respectfully and said to Ogata.

Although he tried his best to conceal it, Ogata could still clearly feel that the villager was quite nervous, even his voice was trembling.

"Yeah." Ogata smiled and nodded lightly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing Ogata's thanks, the villagers' tension eased a little.

"Then I'll go first."

After bowing to Ogata and Atachi again, the villager quickly left from Ogata's field of vision.

After watching the villager leave, Machi showed a helpless smile, and Asaogata said:

"We really weren't very popular."

"It's not that we are unpopular." Ogata corrected, "It's the samurai who are unpopular."

When he agreed to help the villagers in this village, Ogata had expected that the villagers must respect and fear him.

Now it seems that it is so.

Not counting the nobles and samurai, the non-samurai class in the Edo period can be roughly divided into three types: peasants, townspeople, and samurai.

Farmers, as the name suggests, are people who live in the countryside and engage in agricultural work.

The townspeople are people who live in cities and towns and are mainly engaged in service industry, handicraft industry or commerce.

As for the untouchables, some of them live in cities and towns, while others live in the wilderness.

Not every city and town will have filthy existence.

However, in any city where there are filthy people, the filthy people must be some corners that ordinary civilians huddled in the city town will never approach casually, they are a group of forgotten and turned a blind eye.

The townspeople and the samurai live together in the castle town, so the relationship between the townspeople and the samurai is relatively close.

Therefore, the townspeople who know what kind of group the samurai are, will not be too afraid of the samurai because of the "unknown".

Not so with farmers.

Although living in the same country, the peasants living in the countryside and the samurai living in the cities are like groups living in two different worlds.

The "unknown sense" caused by this gap caused a considerable gap between the farmers and the samurai.

In fact, let alone samurai, there is actually a huge gap between farmers and townspeople living in cities and towns.

The farmers' understanding of the samurai was basically based on hearsay.

For example, samurai have the right to kill at will, and they can draw their knives to slash and kill civilians who offend them.

Some of the rumors that the peasants heard about the warriors were true, and some were downright false.

Fortunately, it is now the Edo period, which has been peaceful for a long time.

In the Warring States Period two hundred years ago, the gap between farmers and warriors was even greater.

Soldiers and bandits do not separate families - this is the same in any country that is still in a feudal society, or still has a strong feudal atmosphere.

In the war-torn Warring States Period, it was common for the attacker to ravage the peasants of the attacked side.

And those defeated soldiers will often gather together and harass the peasants everywhere.

Now, at any rate, it is a peaceful society where few people have seen wars. The samurai in the Edo period were far less brutal than the samurai in the Warring States period, and there was no war. The probability of peasants being violated by the samurai was greatly reduced.

Therefore, in the Edo period, the gap between samurai and farmers was much smaller than that in the Warring States period.

After A-Ming casually threw the luggage on his back to a corner not far away, he lay on his back carelessly on the floor that had been cleaned by the villagers.

Machi, who was lying on the floor, stretched her waist and limbs, and casually said to Ogata who was sitting next to her:

"Just now, when I saw the tension between Huosaka and that Jincheng, I almost thought they were going to fight."

"Fortunately, Jincheng made a setback in the end."

What A-machi said was, of course, the fact that Kasaka just said "Samurai morality and everything is bullshit", which caused Jincheng's dissatisfaction.

"I also thought that Jincheng was going to fight with Huosaka." Ogata said, "I'm already ready to go up and stop the two of them, but fortunately, Jincheng doesn't seem to want to cause a bad end. , so no more entanglement with Hosaka."

"I'm a little interested in the 'unclean fast' that Hosaka said." A-Machi put his hands on the ground and propped up his upper body, "I've heard of Japanese swords in Shiranui before."

"It is said that it is a kind of Tangtu's sword made by mixing our Japanese swords with their Tangtu's sword."

"The Japanese sword technique that matches it is also a very special sword technique that combines the advantages of the two countries' sword techniques."

"I also kind of want to see what kind of Japanese swordsmanship combines the advantages of both countries' swordsmanship."

"I'm also quite interested in Japanese swords and Japanese swordsmanship. But—" Ogata shrugged, "Did you hear what Tsuchiya said just now? Bujingzhai has disappeared for nearly forty years."

"Maybe he's already dead."

"Even if he didn't die, he would be almost 70 years old this year."

"At such an advanced age, I may not even be able to hold a knife steadily."

"Who said that?" Ah-Ming retorted, "Look at Fuma-sama and Genichi-sama, they are both very old, but they are still very strong."

"The two of them are special cases." Ogata said angrily, "Not every old man is as old and strong as the two of them."

"Everyone's physique is different, and some people are still in good health when they get older—for example, Genda-sama."

"There are some people who, as they get older, weaken at a fairly noticeable rate."

"Impure fasting may be the latter."

Ogata put on a half-joking tone.

"If Bujingzhai is still alive, he might already be a 70-year-old man who can barely wield a Japanese sword."

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, A-Machi yawned big.

A-cho's physical strength is not as good as that of Ogata who has a system. Today, after a long day of driving, he is still full of energy, while A-cho is already a little tired.

In addition, it happened to be the time when the two of them were going to sleep during this period, so sleepiness began to occupy the ground in Ah Ding's mind.

Ogata: "Are you sleepy?"

"Well, kinda..."

"Then let's rest now." Ogata said, and began to take off the haori on his body, "Have a good night's sleep, and then I will take a good look at the terrain around the village with others tomorrow."

...

...

Even though they were sleeping in a strange room, Ogata and Machi were the kind of people who didn't choose a place to sleep.

Since Ogata left the feudal clan, he has already developed the ability to fall asleep anywhere, and he can sleep soundly in the wild where the sky is the quilt and the ground is the bed.

Not to mention A-Machi, when he was training as a ninja, he had been trained to survive in the wild, and after officially becoming a female ninja, he would eat and sleep in the open.

For Ogata and A-machi, this kind of place with a roof above their heads to shelter from rain and snow, and where the villagers provide bedding, is many times better than the wilderness.

After a sound sleep, the two woke up and got up when the sky was just slightly bright.

The villagers provided them with the same food as last night's dinner - white rice, pickles, and radishes.

The warriors also gathered for breakfast at the same place as last night.

Although he only got acquainted with Hosaka yesterday evening, Ogata also got a little understanding of Hosaka's character through the brief interaction with those who passed.

He is a person who likes to talk and can't stop talking.

At dinner last night, he was the one who talked the most.

And it's the same at breakfast time now.

He shoveled the rice into his mouth, and said vaguely:

"Do you know? People can't just eat too much white rice."

"I heard from a doctor friend of mine that eating too much white rice can easily lead to beriberi."

"Thus those nobles and rich people are most likely to get beriberi."

"So instead of just eating white rice, you have to eat brown rice from time to time."

"Ah, I've heard of similar things." A-cho continued, "I've also heard people say that if people eat too much white rice, they can easily get beriberi, so even if you have money, you can't just eat it. Eat white rice all the time, and occasionally brown rice."

As soon as A-Ming finished speaking, Ooyo who was sitting next to her silently added:

"I've heard it said before—it's not that eating too much white rice makes you easy to get beriberi."

"If you eat more side dishes when eating white rice, such as eating more soybeans or meat, you will not easily get beriberi."

"North Korea and Tang soil across the sea, they have more side dishes when they eat, so beriberi is not so rampant."

Ogata had heard of beriberi in his previous life, and had a basic understanding of beriberi.

The cause of beriberi is the lack of vitamin B1.

In ancient Japan, people ate some foods lacking vitamin B1.

Beans, meat and other foods are rich in vitamin B1.

And ancient Japan happened to not eat meat. Among the foods we eat, there are all kinds of seafood, including fish, that are closely related to meat.

In the Japanese concept, all kinds of seafood including fish are not meat. Fish is fish and meat is meat.

And all kinds of seafood, mainly fish, happen to lack vitamin B1.

Vitamin B1 in brown rice is very sufficient, so beriberi is not common among ordinary people who live in poverty. It is more common among the nobles and rich people who can eat white rice every meal.

Unlike brown rice, that kind of polished rice contains very little vitamin B1.

In the case of eating only rice and simple side dishes, and not eating meat, it is very easy to get beriberi.

Although people in this era have not yet figured out what the cause of beriberi is, they have gradually figured out some ways to prevent beriberi through the accumulation of experience, that is, they should not always eat white rice, but occasionally eat it brown rice.

Hearing what Ogata said just now, Hosaka twitched the corners of his mouth:

"Can eating more soybeans and meat prevent beriberi... This is the first time I've heard such a statement."

"I've never eaten meat before, and I don't know if meat is good or not."

"If there is a chance, I really want to try the taste of meat."

"You want to eat meat, but you don't have a chance." Ah-Ming said with a smile, "Who sells meat? Unless you go hunting by yourself."

"It is said that the Ezos live by hunting and eat meat every day." Hizaka grinned, "When I have the opportunity to wander to the Ezo land one day later, I will go and buy a few pieces of meat from the Ezos Come and eat."

"Hmph." At this moment, Jin Cheng on the side snorted coldly, "Eizu are barbarians, and they eat meat as the main food. They are indeed barbarians."

In the minds of most people in this era, eating meat is a very strange thing. Only people with low status will eat meat, and those of noble birth will never eat meat.

Ogata no longer has such a messy concept.

Hearing the words of Huosaka and Jincheng just now, Ogata suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have eaten meat since he traveled here.

Eating habits have been assimilated unconsciously.

Although he has not eaten meat for more than a year, Ogata still vaguely remembers the taste of meat such as pork and beef.

Memories that have been forgotten due to the long time are slowly emerging in Ogata's mind.

As these memories surfaced, Ogata felt his saliva secreting frantically in his mouth.

Ogata was thinking—after arriving in the Ezo land, he could try to buy or exchange some meat from the Ezo who were not hostile to foreigners, as Hosaka said.

At that time, he will be able to relive the taste of meat, and at the same time, it will also open the eyes of Machi, who has never tasted meat.

...

...

Ogata and the others ate the breakfast amidst chatting with each other.

After eating breakfast, they began to check the terrain around the village according to the plan they had made last night.

This village is not big, and under the leadership of a few villagers, Ogata and the others quickly walked around the village.

"...This village is not easy to defend." After walking around the village, the first person to give a speech was Machi.

After Ah-machi's thoughts fell, the surrounding Hosaka and others nodded in agreement.

Mutsu is a mountainous place, so many villages in the Mutsu area are located in the flat land between the mountains.

This village is a typical case.

Surrounded by mountains and surrounded by mountains, outsiders can easily find a suitable place to monitor the village from a high position, or attack the village from a high level.

The only advantage of the location of the village is that it is adjacent to a river to the east.

With the river as protection, if bandits come to attack, they will basically not use the east as the main direction of attack.

"At present, we still have too little information about the bandits who are thinking about this village." Jin Cheng said in a deep voice, "I don't even know their exact number. It would be great if we could know more information .”

"The number of bandits who are thinking about this village will definitely not be too many." Hosaka did not shy away from the villagers who were in charge of taking them around the village just now, "This village is obvious. Poverty, those larger-scale bandits will not waste their energy on such poor villages."

"What we lack now is information on bandits." The reticent Tsuchiya rarely expressed his opinion, "If we can know their number and the specific time of attack, we can also use this to formulate tactics."

"...compared with their number and attack time. I want to know where their stronghold is." Ogata said in a calm tone, "If one of their members can be captured alive, and then put on him Information is fine."

"Those bandits may send people to spy again." Huosaka said, "It would be great if they can capture one or two people alive when they send people to spy again."

"It's not so easy to catch." Jin Cheng sneered, "I don't care if the bandits will send people to spy again."

"Even if they come to scout for intelligence, do you know when and where they will scout for intelligence?"

Jin Cheng pouted towards the mountains next to him.

"Have you seen it too? There are countless places nearby that have a good view and can be used to scout the current situation of this village..."

"The bandits are coming! The bandits are coming!"

Before Jin Cheng could finish speaking, a shrill cry suddenly sounded from the other side of the village.

Hearing these shouts one after another, the expressions on the faces of Ogata and the others changed to varying degrees.

The first person to react was Ogata.

The moment after hearing this shout, Okai immediately turned his head and said to A-Machi next to him:

"Machi!"

Ogata didn't need to elaborate any more, A-cho already understood it.

There happened to be a tree next to it, and Ah-Ming, who used both hands and feet, climbed to the top of the tree in just a split second, and then looked in the direction of the shout.

"A total of 12 people. They all had knives hanging from their waists, and the rest of the weapons were not seen. They walked very slowly, and they didn't look like they were here to grab something."

Ogata frowned slightly: "Did you see anyone ambushing around?"

"No. There's no hiding place around."

Hosaka and the others looked at Machi crouching on the tree in astonishment.

"Miss A-Ming, are your eyes so sharp?" Hosaka said, "You can see clearly from such a long distance."

"Sight is one of the few things I'm proud of." A-Machi jumped off the tree while talking.

As soon as A-Machi jumped down from the tree, Ogata and the others saw the villagers rushing towards them.

The leader is the village chief.

Perhaps because of the urgency in his heart, the hunched village head broke out at an unexpected speed, and the speed at which he rushed towards Ogata and the others was not weaker than the others around him.

Compared to the panic of the villagers and others, Ogata and the others were much calmer.

The only one who showed panic was Mizuno, Mizuno's apprentice.

Tsuchiya was expressionless as always, and Jincheng's face was heavy.

As for Hosaka - he was also very leisurely to make jokes that the villagers couldn't laugh at all.

"It seems that we really came in time. Not long after we came to this village, bandits came to the door."

"Master Samurai!" The village head hurriedly said before and after Ogata and the others came, "A bandit is coming! We are almost at the entrance of the village!"

Ogata thought for a moment, then said to the village chief:

"They don't seem to be here to rob things. Bandits who come to rob things don't walk around there slowly. Let's see what they are here for."

...

...

Ono proudly led the 11 subordinates behind him, and strode towards the unknown village in front of him.

He had just heard a louder and louder noise in the village--he was very satisfied with that.

This is what he wanted.

Before arriving at the entrance of the village, Ono saw black-and-white villagers slowly coming out of the village, and then stopped at the entrance of the village—all men, holding messy weapons in their hands.

From sickles to long clubs, there are many.

The leader is a stooped, gray-haired old man—presumably the head of this village.

Seeing the villagers coming out, Ohno also stopped, and raised his hand to signal the subordinates behind him to stop too.

"What are you here for?!" The village head, standing in front of the young adults in the village, shouted loudly at Ono and the others.

Although the village chief tried his best to control it, Ohno could still clearly see the look of fear on the village chief's face, and his voice trembled slightly due to fear.

As for the young and strong people in the village behind the village chief, they all looked pretty much the same—although they all held things that could be used for fighting in their hands, everyone looked at Ohno and the others with surprised and frightened eyes.

Looking at these expressions of fear, Ohno felt a rush of pleasure emerge from the bottom of his heart.

Ohno didn't want to spend too much time talking and wasting time on these mud-legged people.

After clearing his throat, he shouted loudly at the villagers not far in front of him:

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon! My brothers and I want to borrow some food and supplies from Guicun for the Chinese New Year!"

"We like to put peace first! If possible, we would like to borrow food and supplies from Guicun in the gentlest way possible."

"So you are very lucky-we don't want to use too rough methods against you."

"As long as you hand over half of your food and belongings, we will leave and never come here again!"

Although Ohno's words just now sound high-sounding, in essence they are blatant blackmail.

As soon as Ono's words fell, the village chief's eyes widened with excitement:

"Half of the food and belongings? We are also going to spend the winter!"

What is the current situation in his own village, the village chief knows better than anyone else.

Their village is already barren, and the grain reserves in the village are just at the limit of "barely enough to eat".

This is the Mutsu area, the northeast of Japan, and the winter is long.

They must have enough food to survive the winter.

If half of the food and belongings were handed over to these bandits, how many people would starve to death this winter.

For the village chief's yelling, Ohno seemed to go in one ear and out the other.

After shrugging his shoulders, Ohno said in a frivolous tone:

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to give food and property!"

"We'll give you another choice!"

"You can replace food and belongings with women from the village!"

"You are very welcome to replace food and belongings with women from the village!"

As soon as Ohno finished his sentence, the subordinates behind him laughed very uncomfortable.

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot to say - we only accept young girls, those old women, old ladies, we thank you for not being sensitive!"

"A girl can be exchanged for half a rice! If the girl is beautiful enough, we can also consider letting the girl exchange some more rice."

When Ono said earlier that "women can be used to replace food and belongings", many young men standing behind the village chief were already showing righteous indignation.

At this moment, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily at Ohno:

"We will not hand over the women in our village to you!"

Many young adults present have wives and daughters.

As long as they are normal men, who can tolerate their wives or daughters being "borrowed" by bandits as if they were property.

After hearing the villager's shout, Ohno sneered.

"Did you make a mistake?"

"It's rare for us to show kindness and give you a choice that will allow many people in the village to survive."

"If you really don't want to hand over half of your belongings and food to us, then we can only use other means to 'borrow' from you."

After all, Ono deliberately put his left hand on the handle of the knife on his left waist.

"I'm going to put my ugly words on the front - by then, we won't just want half of your food and belongings."

"We'll take everything you can eat from your village, including all the women."

"Don't think we don't have that ability."

"We still have many brothers."

"You only need half of the manpower to wipe out your small village with a population of less than 100!"

...

...

When the village head confronted the bandits who suddenly "visited" and asked the purpose of the bandits' "visit", Ogata and others had been silently lurking not far behind the village head and the young men.

While listening to the purpose of the "visit" of these bandits, beware of various accidents such as the sudden killing of these bandits.

At this moment, Ogata understood what the gang of bandits were here for.

"Oh." Hosaka sneered, "This is an old tactic of bandits. Let the villagers hand over a certain amount of food, property or women, and then let the village go."

"I've heard that some villages have done so."

"In order to make the women in the village follow the bandits obediently, they even beat them unconscious."

Mizuno asked his master with a worried face:

"what should I do now?"

"What else can I do?" Hosaka grinned, "This is a rare good opportunity, this is a great opportunity to capture them alive, and then extract information from them."

"How do we do it?" Mizuno continued to ask, "They have 12 people, but we only have 5 people."

"...I have a plan." Jin Cheng said at this time, "Let the village chief hold back these bandits first."

"Then we made a detour to the rear of the bandits and attacked them from behind."

"In this way, even if we are at a disadvantage in numbers, we can easily win."

The taciturn Tsuchiya was as taciturn as ever, and did not express any thoughts.

As for Ogata...

"...I have a plan too."

From just now, Ogata has put his right hand in his arms, using his own body temperature to warm his cold right hand.

"I would like to hear the details." Jincheng looked at Ogata.

"Let's draw out our knives first, then charge straight at this group of bandits, and then we will see fewer enemies, leaving one or two alive."

Jin Cheng was stunned.

Not only was Jincheng stunned, but all the people present were astonished except for Ah Ding, who looked as usual.

"At this time, please don't joke." Jin Cheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "There are 12 people on the other side, and we only have 5 people. If we don't use some tricks, we will only be at a disadvantage... Hey! Where are you going?"

Before Jincheng finished his lecture, he saw Ogata, who had been warming his hands just now, suddenly stretched out his right hand from his bosom.

Then he quickly pulled out the knife at his waist, jumped out of his hiding place, and rushed straight towards the bandits.

"Get out of the way!" Ogata shouted to the village youth standing in front of him.

Although they didn't know what was going on, but after hearing Ogata's shout, the village head and these young men immediately stepped aside, giving way to a road that could lead directly to Ono and the others.

Ono was dumbfounded.

Hosaka and the others were also dumbfounded.

The first person to react was Hosaka.

"So this brother is so brave?" Hosaka smiled, "This character is very suitable for me! Mizuno! Come on!"

"Yes Yes!"

Tsuchiya didn't speak, after a brief surprise, he silently drew out his sword, and followed behind Kasaka.

"Is that family an idiot?!" As for Jincheng——he shouted angrily, while pulling out his sword, and stepped forward to help Ogata.

But there is no need for them to step forward to help out...

Ohno looked at Ogata who was rushing straight towards them with a dazed expression.

After a while, he finally reacted.

"Damn it! You actually hired warriors!"

Ohno cursed loudly, and quickly pulled out the knife from his waist.

The subordinates behind him also drew their sabers one after another.

"Hmph! Although you have invited a samurai, the samurai you have invited seems to be not very smart!" Ono smiled grimly, "Only one person dares to rush up to confront us!"

The number of people on his side gave Ohno a lot of confidence.

Faced with Ono's ridicule, his emotions did not change.

When Ohno was only a few steps away, Ogata's hind foot kicked hard.

The speed skyrocketed.

In the blink of an eye, Xu rushed to Ohno.

Ohno couldn't react at all.

It wasn't until he was thrown to the ground by Ogata's Shiranui-ryu Jutsu that he finally realized belatedly that the samurai had already killed him.

Ogata didn't use Da Shitian to take Ohno's life, because he had to keep alive.

This guy who looks like a small boss is very suitable to save his life.

After knocking Ohno down with one blow, Ogata raised the sword in his hand to Ohno's subordinates.

Its appearance is very similar to a beast baring its fangs to its prey.

Da Shitian turned into a beam of light, which first penetrated the chest of "Bandit 1".

While piercing the chest of "Bandit 1" with the bird thorn, Ogata pulled up the man's wide sleeve, put the sleeve between him and the man, and used the sleeve to block it, and then drew the knife back. Blood spurted from the wound.

As soon as Da Shitian was pulled out, "Bandit 2" roared and came towards Ogata from the left side of Ogata.

Ogata didn't even look at this person, he turned to one side, dodged the knife that this person was slashing at, and aimed at this person's direction to launch a counterattack from bottom to top.

Sakakibara One Sword Style · Climbing the Tower!

Climbing the tower is Ogata's weakest move in Sakakibara's one sword style, but it is more than enough to cut down these mediocre bandits.

After beheading "Bandit 2", Ogata quickly adjusted his posture and ran towards another bandit.

Ogata, who rushed into the ranks of bandits, was like entering a land without people.

These low-level bandits couldn't even touch a piece of Ogata's clothes.

The bandit who was still alive was stunned.

The villagers were stunned.

Huosaka and the others who hadn't rushed to the battlefield... especially Jin Cheng, were all stunned.
