Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty-Seven Ogata: "This Is the Hearty Revenge!" [5800]

The latest website: Dongxiang looked at Yubalang's body whose forehead had been chopped off and his face was covered in blood, showing pity.

- what a fool...

Dongxiang thought to himself.

——I don’t need a good musket, but I just want to fight Ogata with a sword.

—but the fool's death was worth it.

——At least he proved that Ogata Ittosai's strength is far beyond our expectations.

In order to facilitate management and command, each unit participating in tonight's "Osaka Spring Battle and Discussion Operation" has its own designation, and the designation name is "X Fan Group".

The number of the troops led by Dongxiang is the 7th group.

Just now, after seeing the red fireworks, Dongxiang hurriedly took his 7th team to the place where the fireworks were set off.

As a result, after arriving at the scene, that is, by the riverside of a certain canal, Dongxiang saw the members of the 3rd group.

The 3rd group - the unit led by Uohachiro, who has no other specialties except swimming and killing people in the water.

When he met Yu Hachiro's 3rd group, Dongxiang was stunned.

Because Yu Hachiro died unexpectedly.

He was hit on the forehead with a knife, and his head was chopped off directly. The members of the 3rd group are not very good at water, and they just fished him out of the river.

Dongxiang questioned the members of the 3rd group in detail, and only then did he know how Yu Hachiro died.

Dongxiang didn't know how to evaluate the cause of Yu Hachiro's death.

Don't need a good flintlock gun, so many subordinates don't need it, and it's hard for Dongxiang to insist on one-on-one with Ogata.

Dongxiang knew that Yu Hachiro was a person who was keen to compete with others, but Dongxiang didn't expect Yu Hachiro to be so enthusiastic.

It's no use blaming a man for being stupid when he's dead.

Dongxiang, who was kneeling beside Yubalang's body, quickly recited a few reincarnation spells silently, then slowly stood up.

And when he just stood up——

laugh--!

northwest,

Somewhere in the lower reaches of the canal not far from here, red fireworks appeared in the sky.

Hearing the sound, Dong Xiang hurriedly turned his head to look, and murmured, "Has Shura escaped there...it's quite close to here."

"Hey, from the 3rd division."

Dongxiang turned his head and shouted at Uohachiro's subordinates.

"I ordered with the 'wartime command authority': You are now under my command for the time being."

Wartime Command - A power shared by the commanders of each unit.

The content of this power includes: when the battle is urgent, the commander can temporarily recruit the remnants of the remaining troops according to the battle situation.

After hearing Dongxiang shout out the phrase "command in wartime", all the people in the 3rd group got serious.

"You, you, you. The three of you are responsible for transporting Uohachiro's body back to the base."

"The rest follow me! Go after Shura with me!"

"No matter what, we can't let Shura escape!"

The members of the 3rd group have been worrying about losing their backbone since Uohachiro's death. Dongxiang's voice, like timely rain, made all the members of the 3rd group calm down.

"yes!"

After echoing in unison, the three people who were called by Dongxiang just now to transport Yu Hachiro's body back to the main camp, you raised your head and I lifted Yu Hachiro's body onto the cart they just found, and the rest Then they lined up in a neat queue in front of Dongxiang.

Looking at the 3rd group that was almost undamaged in front of him, Dongxiang nodded with satisfaction.

——People from the 3rd group, plus my 7th group...a ​​total of 89 people.

——Heh, with this kind of combat power, even if you encounter a shogunate army with a size of a thousand people, you don't need to be afraid.

The corners of Dongxiang's mouth curled up triumphantly.

"All follow me!"

With an imposing wave of his hand, Dongxiang led the 3rd and 7th teams and hurried towards the area where the red fireworks were set off just now.

...

...

Osaka, southwest of Osaka Castle——

"Oh... in that direction..."

Just now, after a gorgeous "red flower" bloomed in the northwest sky, Saemon captured this beautiful scene in time.

After watching the entire process of this "red flower" from blooming to withering, Saemon was both happy and annoyed.

Just finished the task of "clearing Osaka Castle", walked out of Osaka Castle, and was about to invest in "Plan B" against Ogata, when he saw the red fireworks at the standard Ogata position-this made Saemon very happy.

But the place where the red fireworks are located is in the northwest skyline... It's a long way from Saemon - much to Zaemon's chagrin.

"It's disgusting... why is it so far away from me..." Yoshiemon scratched his head, "By the time I get to that place, Shura has already escaped, or was killed by someone else..."

"Forget it, let's rush over and have a look first."

...

...

Except for those units that were so far away that they couldn't see the fireworks, the rest of the units basically discovered the "safflower" that had just bloomed in the first place.

All the troops have now almost completed their respective tasks of destroying various important facilities and places in Osaka.

That is to say... all the troops are now engaged in the encirclement and suppression of Ogata.

They all saw the "safflower" almost at the same time, and rushed to the place where the "safflower" appeared from all directions.

Some of them smiled smugly.

They thought that as hunters, they had successfully pulled in the encirclement net and would soon be able to kill their prey.

But they don't know—the identities of hunter and prey are often interchanged.

...

...

"Is this a settlement for the poor..."

Dongxiang, which is the closest to the "safflower", was the fastest to arrive at the place where the "safflower" appeared.

Now he has the 3rd and 7th groups under his command, frowning, scanning the low, dilapidated houses in front of him.

Judging from the state of the houses, it is not difficult to see that this is the place where the poor in Osaka live together. The low and dilapidated houses are arranged tightly and densely. The houses are too closely arranged, which makes people feel uncomfortable. comfortable.

There is not a single resident here now, and they must have been scared by the fires that are spreading all over Osaka and ran for their lives.

——The fireworks just now were undoubtedly set off at this place.

——Did Ogata Ittosai escape to this place... This place is indeed a good place to hide...

—By the way, what about the ninja who set off the fireworks just now? Is he not here? Was it killed?

—Forget it, it’s more important to find Shura quickly.

——The roads here are very narrow, with so many people moving together, not only is the efficiency of traveling and searching extremely low, but it is also very easy to hinder each other...

- have to act separately...

——If you make a group of 30 people... the combat power should be enough, so that even if any group of people encounters Shura, they don't need to be afraid of him...

After careful calculation and calculation in his mind, Dongxiang, who had made up his mind, ordered loudly to the 3rd and 7th groups that he was in charge of now:

"Come and follow me with 29 people, and the remaining 60 people will be divided into 2 groups of 30 people and spread out! Search this place!"

"Remember to cheer up!"

"Sura may be hiding somewhere in this place now!"

"Grip your guns tight!"

"Once you find someone who seems to be Shura, shoot them immediately."

Under Dongxiang's order, the members of the 3rd and 7th groups quickly divided into groups, and rushed to the "slum-inhabited area" in front of them from all directions.

...

...

The team led by Dong Xiang personally searched very quickly.

After a while, they pushed into the depths of the block.

They are now walking on a long narrow and long road.

This is a long road with a very narrow width, and only 4 people can walk side by side.

They were shoulder to shoulder, and each of them was watching different directions while slowly advancing, searching every dark alley and house along the way while advancing.

too quiet street...

The object of pursuit is most likely lurking somewhere here...

I had to lift my spirits and scan every corner around me...

All these things have increased the psychological pressure of everyone and tensed their nerves.

At the moment when everyone's nerves were tense——

Bang!

In a certain dark alley behind the team, there was a crisp sound of something falling.

Everyone was startled by the sound.

Dongxiang hurriedly signaled the entire team to stop immediately.

The soldiers walking at the back of the line were even more taken aback by the sudden sound, turned around quickly, and pointed their guns in the direction where the strange sound came from just now.

The black muzzles of the guns were like wolves baring their teeth.

Under the eyes of these "wolves" -

creak creak...

A mouse sprang out from the dark alley where the strange noise came from just now.

The mouse ran to the middle of the long road behind the queue, glanced at the soldiers who pointed a flintlock gun at it, then spread its four little paws, and fled into the darkness next to it.

"What...it's a mouse..."

"A false alarm..."

"My gun almost went off just now."

...

While putting away their guns, the soldiers at the back of the queue criticized or ridiculed the mouse that frightened them just now with complaints or jokes.

"If only that mouse was Shura." A certain broad-headed warrior standing at the back of the queue whispered to his companions in a joking tone, "In this way, we can quickly kill him." , our mission can also end..."

bass--!

A cold light suddenly burst out from the chest of this broad-browed warrior.

It is a knife.

Behind the broad-headed soldier is a short and old private house.

At this moment, a knife stabbed out from the room of this private house.

Pierce the door, and connect the door with the heart of the wide-headed warrior facing this private house!

"Pfft...!" The unfinished words of Kuanbanumun turned into a sound of vomiting blood.

Handfuls of blood spurted from the mouth of Kuanmen and the wound on his chest, splashing all over the body of the companion he was talking to just now.

After the knife pierced through the wide forehead's chest, it was suddenly withdrawn and retracted into the room.

Under the effect of inertia, the wide-headed body also flew backwards, smashed the old door, and slammed into this private house, splashing clouds of dust.

The sudden change shocked the surrounding soldiers.

The four soldiers closest to the wide-headed soldier held guns one after another, and rushed into the house where the knife that pierced the wide-headed chest suddenly "grown" just now, and then "swallowed" the wide-headed soldier into it .

Although the vision was obscured by the clouds of dust splashed up, the four soldiers who rushed into the room first could barely see the scene inside the room.

It was an extremely shabby house, and the number of decent furniture in the house could be counted on the palm of one hand.

The wide forehead that had just been "swallowed" into the house is now lying on the ground in a "big" shape, with broken wooden door fragments under it.

His pupils had already dilated, and he was exhaling a lot of air, but inhaling less. Obviously, it was hopeless.

The four soldiers who rushed into the house looked around the house—except for the tattered furniture, there was nothing else in the house, and there was no one in the room...

"What's going on? What's going on?"

"Kotaro was killed!"

"Did you get killed by Shura?"

"No, I don't know. There is no one in the house."

"Did he escape?"

Dongxiang learned the whole story of Kuantoumen's murder in the first place.

Just after listening to the report in Dongxiang, a soldier beside him stammered:

"Hey, hey, maybe he was killed by something unclean? I was born in Osaka. I heard that once it's night in Osaka, there will be a monster that eats human flesh and walks on the streets... "

Before the soldier finished speaking, Dongxiang immediately reprimanded him:

"Don't talk nonsense, even if there are monsters, what is there to be afraid of? We have Western firearms! Even if big monsters such as Ogakumaru, Shuten-douji, and Nine-tailed Demon Fox come, we can blast them to pieces."

The inexplicable wide-headed death made the faces of the remaining 29 people in the group more or less panicked.

Death is often not the scariest thing.

The inexplicable death is the most chilling thing.

"Be alert! Be alert!" Dongxiang said loudly, "The murderer is undoubtedly Shura! Everyone..."

He hadn't finished speaking--

laugh!

The exact same scene as what happened just now reappeared.

Another house "spit out" a knife, piercing the chest of a soldier closest to this house.

The house is like the mouth of a giant beast.

That knife is like the tongue of this giant beast.

After successfully catching the prey, the tongue for predation was suddenly retracted into the mouth, and the fighter flew backwards like the wide-headed one just now, and was "swallowed" into the mouth.

The horrifying scene caused a certain soldier to scream subconsciously.

"Quick! Rush in! Shoot if you see Shura!"

Dongxiang quickly directed the soldiers closest to the house to rush into the house and grab Ofang.

The low rate of fire of the flintlock makes each shot very precious, and you should not hit the enemy randomly before seeing the enemy.

The five soldiers closest to the house filed in with flintlock guns.

The warrior who ran the fastest and rushed into the house first had just stepped into the house with his front feet, when he saw a black shadow descending from above the door frame inside the house and land on his head.

Kara!

The warrior heard the sound of bones being crushed.

And the crackling sound... came from his neck.

He saw the world in front of him turn around, and for the first time in his life, he saw the scene behind him from a straight-on angle.

And then...there is no more.

The vision was invaded by the darkness at a jaw-dropping speed, and the body quickly lost consciousness.

...

...

Falling from the door frame, he clamped the head of the soldier who entered the room first with his legs, and then turned his head in a 180-degree circle. Ogata landed steadily back to the ground with neat movements.

The body is still in extremely poor condition due to the "immortal poison".

There are pains all over the body, the body temperature is still rising, and the head is painful and swollen.

Although the body is very painful, Ogata feels that his spirit is very happy.

Because he could finally pay back to this group of unknown enemies.

Inexplicably, I was attacked round after round by this guy tonight.

Thanks to the "blessing" of these bastards, not only did he not get back his saber, he also couldn't return to A-Ming's side, and there was an extra wound on his leg that was still hurting until now.

In Ogata's mind, there are few unnecessary distracting thoughts now.

He has only one thought now.

revenge.

A hearty revenge.

After Ogata used Shiranui-ryu Jutsu to take the life of the first fighter who entered the room, the other 4 fighters walking behind the fighter who wanted to enter the house were subconsciously stunned.

At this time, Ogata's attack had already been launched.

Ogata didn't draw his sword.

Instead, punch.

Ogata, who held the knife in his right hand, clenched his left hand into a fist, and blasted towards the chest of the second soldier who entered the room.

Luck!

Boom!

The fist under the blessing of luck hit the person's chest directly.

Even if he is not in a good state now, Ogata's strength is far beyond the level of ordinary people.

Luck strength + level far above ordinary people = this person can't die anymore.

The feeling of bone shattering went down to the face of Ogata's fist.

The soldier with a large dent in his chest flew backwards like a cannonball, hitting the other three fighters behind him like a domino, and the four of them lined up in a neat line, flew out from the door of the house, and fell heavily on the ground. middle of the road.

Ogata also flew out with them.

In his right hand, Ogata held the brand new sword that he had just exchanged from Ishikawa, and in his left hand held the flintlock gun he got from the warrior he killed with Shiranui Jutsu.

Ogata, who "flew out" from the house at a speed like flying at low altitude, "landed" in front of a certain soldier.

While landing, Ogata did not forget to use the potential energy of gravity, and slashed the soldier's forehead heavily, directly smashing his forehead.

The right hand swung the knife to smash the head of the enemy in front of him, and the left hand aimed the muzzle of the flintlock gun at the chest of an enemy beside him.

Boom!

Without looking at the man who was shot, Ogata turned the flintlock in his left hand and pointed the muzzle at another soldier.

Although these enemies are not carrying weapons other than muskets, so Ogata cannot change his sword, but he has also changed his thinking now.

Since there are no knives to grab, let's grab their muskets!

In addition to shooting, muskets have many other uses.

For example, use it directly as a short gun.

Ogata thrust the muzzle of the emptied flintlock into the mouth of an enemy next to him with brute force.

The muzzle of the gun directly pierced the person's lips, and several teeth including his front teeth flew up, deeply pierced into the person's throat, and then left the gun in the person's mouth.

The soldier who had the misfortune to have his mouth pierced by a musket rolled his eyes, and there was only air left, not in.

With such a narrow road, there is no terrain that limits the musketeer's performance more than this.

The soldiers tried to distance themselves from Ogata so that they could shoot.

But they have legs, and Ogata has legs too.

Ogata dodged to the side of another warrior with a step, then pulled out his wakizaru with his left hand and pierced the man's chest.

Just like that, Ogata stuck his wakizashi into this person's chest, using this person as a shield, and launched a shield attack on the enemy in front of him.

Ogata's "shield impact" is a sharp blow that pours all the strength of his body into it, and the enemies standing in front of him are knocked down one by one and sent flying.

It was precisely because he was hitting with all his strength that Ogata's impact was extremely fast.

In just a split second, Xu Fang rushed to the front of Dongxiang with the warrior on his back.

Dongxiang is now full of fear.

When he saw Ogata staring at the human shield rushing towards him just now, he subconsciously wanted to run away.

But Ogata's speed was much faster than him.

He had only taken 2 steps back when Ogata had already rushed to the position where his sword could cut him down.

The light of the knife soared into the sky.

The tip of the knife cut from Dongxiang's chin all the way to Dongxiang's Tianlinggai.

The last sight Dongxiang saw in his life was Ogata's cold eyes.

Looking at the pair of chilling eyes, Dongxiang couldn't help recalling that because he had never seen Ogata's strength with his own eyes, he thought that a group of 30 people would be strong enough to deal with Ogata, so Self-confidently dividing the troops under his command into three groups...

Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!

This chapter mentions the power of Ogata, so please mention the behind-the-scenes story that the author has not told you: There is an obsolete side story in this book, and the timeline is that Ogata and Acho live in In Matsumae Castle, waiting for the stowaway boat to prepare for departure.

The general content is the story of Ogata, who has grown to an incredible level in physical strength, strength, and vitality, and accidentally knocks A-Machi out of his strength.
