Chapter 948: The Heroes of Edo Rise Up! The Swordsmen Galloping on the Battlefield! [5200]
He jumped down from the city gate alone and jumped into the enemy group... His feat stunned the defenders on the Duolu Gate, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
The fierce fighting power that the old man showed next made them unable to believe their eyes.
The fierce enemy soldiers who beat them to the point of losing their armor were not even considered a single enemy in front of the old man!
He was just like chopping melons and vegetables. He could kill all the enemy soldiers with just one strike!
"Sword Master" Seiichiro Tanani...except for the "Eternal Sword Master" Ogata Issei who does not know life and death, he is currently the only living sword master!
Even though he is an old man, every move and every move he makes is still full of the style of a sword master!
Facing the dense enemy soldiers in front of him, he raised his sword without panic or fear - and his precise and sharp sword skills were immediately unleashed!
laugh!
The silver sword flashed to the left, cutting through the shortest path in mid-air, and slashed open the chests of four enemy soldiers.
laugh!
In the next breath, the silver sword light flew in the opposite direction to the right, severing the necks of two enemy soldiers.
With just two sword blows, Tan Seiichiro expanded the "vacuum zone" around him by a large circle.
While the enemy soldiers were stunned by him, he moved quickly and plunged deeper into the enemy group with an indomitable momentum.
The silver sword flashed again and again, and every time it flashed, new flesh and blood would splash out, and new corpses would fall to the ground!
Otani Seiichiro's offensive was like a flood pouring into the sandcastle - the sandcastle collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At first glance, there is nothing special about the old man's moves, they are just ordinary horizontal and vertical slashes.
Only those who know something about swordsmanship can realize how terrifying he is: his swordsmanship seems to have reached the state of returning to nature!
He didn't bother to use tricks that were flashy or very energy-consuming.
Use the simplest moves to slash enemies - this is the fighting style he pursues.
From a certain point of view, he has understood the true meaning of swordsmanship: the swordsmanship that allows the sword edge to hit the enemy is excellent swordsmanship!
All of his moves, without exception, hit the vital points of the enemy soldiers and killed them with one blow!
So far, no enemy soldier has allowed him to make a second attack.
The area between the first city gate (Koryeo Gate) and the second city gate (Watura Gate) is not spacious, and it is a very standard "one man can guard the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it."
Such terrain is a nightmare for large corps, and it is also an excellent place for top warriors to display their skills!
The male Tan Seiichiro thrust his sword into his body and drove the enemy soldiers out of the Wataru Gate little by little. He was invincible to all who faced him.
Those close to him saw the "power of the Sword Master" and hurriedly backed away.
People far away from him didn't know the details, so they crowded forward.
In fact, the people behind are also very innocent.
Because from Goryeomun (the first gate) to Waturamun (the second gate), you need to turn a right-angled corner, and the view is blocked by this corner, so people behind you have no idea what is happening in front of you. It's over.
People in front are retreating, people behind are moving forward... Just like this, congestion occurs as expected.
For a time, the scene became increasingly chaotic and order gradually collapsed.
Otani Seiichiro is not alone.
At this time, another old man took action——
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, sharp arrows flew out of the gate!
These arrows drew straight afterimages in mid-air and fell into the enemy group.
Not a single arrow missed, and each arrow hit an enemy soldier, killing each one with one arrow!
Those who use bows and arrows are those who are proficient in many martial arts such as Hohoin style spearmanship, Tamiya style Iai swordsmanship, Ogasawara style archery, etc., as well as various military arts such as Koshu style military science, Gaiki style artillery style, and Noshima style military style. Martial arts master Kubota Kiyone!
I saw him standing at the edge of the Wataru Gate - this is the position where the male Tan Seiichiro just jumped down - holding a bow in one hand and twisting an arrow in the other, standing proudly, looking down at the enemy group below, so majestic.
In terms of swordsmanship, Kubota Kiyone is not as good as the male Seiichiro Tanani.
In terms of physical strength, he is no longer able to wield swords and guns as he likes at his old age.
However, if he just draws the bow and releases the arrows, he is still more than enough!
At this moment, you can see him using skillful and quick movements to pull out sharp arrows from the arrow pot at his waist, set the arrow on the bow, push the bow with his front hand like pushing a mountain, and stroke the string with his back hand like a tiger's whiskers - whoosh - again An enemy soldier falls.
He just kept repeating the series of actions of "drawing the arrow, drawing the bow, and releasing the string".
Its rate of fire is incredibly fast, with an average of one arrow fired every 2 seconds.
He barely aimed, he glanced at the approximate location of the enemy, then raised his bow and shot, and the arrows were all fired!
Either it hits the enemy's Tianling Cap, or it hits the enemy's neck...these are the parts where one will lose his life immediately if he is hit by an arrow.
In just a moment, he shot nearly ten people to the ground.
He simply relied on his outstanding archery skills to achieve the suppression of an entire archer brigade by himself!
One for close combat, one for distance attack...the two old men cooperated in perfect harmony.
With the help of Kubota Kiyone, the male Seiichiro Tanani becomes more and more courageous as he fights! There is a vague tendency to push the enemy soldiers back!
At this time, Kubota Kiyone said to the shogunate behind him in a calm tone without sadness or joy:
"Why are you still standing there? Do you just stare?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.
Just like sparks falling into an oil barrel, a raging fire called "fighting spirit" burst into flames!
"Mr. Kubota is right! Can we just stare?"
"We were just unprepared and caught the enemy off guard!"
"That's right! As long as we fight calmly and don't be arrogant or impatient, the enemy is not scary!"
"Charge!"
"Follow the sword saint!"
The sudden participation of the two martial arts masters and their leading by example greatly inspired the defenders of Yotsuya Gate.
They regained their morale and fighting spirit, shouted and rushed down the Toya Gate, came to the left and right of Otani Seiichiro, and fought side by side with the sword saint!
In an instant, the situation reversed.
The attacking side became the shogunate army, and the retreating side became the Fuki coalition.
Even with the blessing of "Decisive Battle of Yodo", the soldiers of the Fuki coalition could not resist the shogunate army, which was like a god at this time.
Faced with the fierce attack of the shogunate army, they retreated quickly.
In just a moment, they were driven out of the area between the two gates and then out of the Goryeo Gate.
Even the long ladders leaning against the Goryeo Gate were cut off and overturned one by one.
At this point, the Goryeo Gate was recovered and returned to the control of the shogunate.
The Yotsuya Gate was defended - the gratifying results boosted the morale of the shogunate!
They waved their weapons and cheered loudly.
"Hey! Hey! Oh!" The cheers of victory came one after another.
Seiichiro Otani held his bloody sword and stood on the gate of the Goryeo Gate, staring expressionlessly at the enemy soldiers fleeing outside the gate.
Suddenly, the voice of Kiyon Kubota came from behind him:
"Seiichiro, your swordsmanship is still so sharp."
Kiyon Kubota carried his bow and slowly moved to the side of Seiichiro Otani.
Seiichirō Otani wiped the blood off the blade and smiled slightly:
"Kiyon, your bow and arrow are as accurate as ever."
Kiyon Kubota shrugged and changed to a self-deprecating tone:
"I can only draw the bow now. I can't help with anything else."
Facing the self-deprecating Kiyon Kubota, Seiichirō Otani said calmly:
"Kiyon, don't say that. Although it is no longer the age of swords, we old bones can still be useful."
After that, he turned sideways and raised his chin to the shogunate soldiers around him.
Kiyon Kubota followed his guidance, turned his head, and raised his eyes - a large number of shogunate soldiers gathered around them.
A bunch of respectful and admiring eyes fell on him and Seiichirō Otani.
A discerning person can see that if these two old men hadn't acted in time, let alone retaking the Goryeo Gate, I'm afraid they couldn't even defend the Dulu Gate!
If Yotsuya Gomon falls, the chain reaction it will trigger will be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, the shogunate soldiers at the scene couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
At the same time, their respect for the two old men deepened a little bit!
The sincere love of the soldiers made Kubota Kiyone stunned.
After a while, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a complex smile.
…
…
The sudden appearance of the top strongman reversed the situation... Similar scenes also happened in other places in Edo!
…
…
Edo, Koishikawa Gomon-
Koishikawa Gomon is located in the north of Edo Castle.
This place also suffered a fierce attack from the enemy.
"Be careful! They are coming again!"
"A few more people here! I can't stand it anymore!"
"Don't retreat a step! Drive them down!"
The soldiers of the shogunate firmly nailed to the Goryeo Gate of Koishikawa Gomon, not letting the enemy army cross the line.
They are very brave and their performance is remarkable.
However... it is not enough to fight with all your strength and energy to resist this "biochemical army" that has hit the "decisive battle".
Gradually, the defense line of the shogunate army began to loosen significantly.
At this extremely urgent moment, five figures rushed forward! They rushed to the most tense battlefields!
After seeing the specific appearance of these five figures, someone shouted excitedly:
"Make way! They are the swordsmen of the Chiba family!"
Chiba Sadakichi, Chiba Shigetaro, Chiba Eijiro, Chiba Michisaburo, Chiba Tamon Shiro - the five great swordsmen of the Chiba family fought side by side, and the scene was amazing!
As a famous "swordsman family", the swordsmanship gene of the Chiba family is obvious to all.
Chiba Yoshinojo, the previous generation, was the founder of the Beichen Dream Style.
This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:吧!! Update!
Chiba Yukiemon, the previous generation, was a man who practiced both medicine and swordsmanship. He promoted the Hokushin Dream Style.
Chiba Shusaku and Chiba Sadakichi, the previous generation, jointly created the Hokushin Ittoryu Style.
This generation is even more amazing! Every adult male is an outstanding swordsman at the level of a swordsman. Even Sanako, who is not a man, is recognized as a "genius female swordsman". None of them is easy to deal with.
The family has produced swordsmen with outstanding swordsmanship for four consecutive generations... Such a prosperous kendo family is rare in the world.
Compared with their two brothers, Eijiro and Michisaburo, Juutarou and Tamon Shiro are slightly less famous.
But this does not mean that they are weak.
They are just not as good as their brothers. Compared with others, they are definitely first-class swordsmen!
As expected, with the appearance of the "Five Chiba Swordsmen", the battle situation of Kohinata Gomon suddenly changed dramatically.
"Brother Duomen, the enemies on the left are now in your hands!"
"Understood. Brother Chong, I wish you good luck in martial arts."
"Yes, I wish you good luck in martial arts, too!"
The moment the two finished talking, Shigetaro and Tamon Shiro both kicked their hind legs and shot out, rushing towards the enemy group from the left and right!
Shigetaro chopped off the head of an enemy soldier with one knife.
Then, he freed his left hand and grabbed the collar of another enemy soldier - this man wanted to sneak attack Shigetaro, but Shigetaro got the upper hand and stopped him - and knocked him to the ground.
The next breath, the knife in his hand drew a beautiful arc in the air and returned to the best position for exerting force.
Almost in the same breath, the knife in his hand turned into a residual image and chopped out! First, he chopped down the enemy in front, then swung to the right, cut off the waist of the enemy on the right, and then stabbed to the left, piercing the heart of the enemy on the left.
Of course, when he put away the knife at the end, he did not forget to give the man who had just been knocked to the ground a knife.
Tamon Shiro is a straightforward and violent person, so his fighting style is also full of violent style.
No matter how many enemies there were around him, he was not afraid at all! He kept rushing forward! He had the momentum of "turning his body into an arrow and piercing through the enemy army"!
While rushing forward, he danced with his sword vigorously.
Compared with his other brothers, his swordsmanship was most in the style of Beichen Ittoryu - specifically attacking people's arms!
He slashed the first person's right wrist with a diagonal slash, then adjusted the blade to make the second person lose his entire right arm, and when he put the knife away, he did not forget to sweep the third person's right arm, making the opponent disabled.
The broken arms with complete cuts fell to the ground... After weakening the enemy's strength, Duomen Shiro slowly released his killing moves and delivered a fatal blow, allowing these guys to complete the transformation from disabled people to dead people.
At the same time, on the other side, Chiba Michisaburo, one of the representatives of the younger generation of the Chiba family and the second-generation head of the Beichen Ittoryu main family -
"..."
He walked silently towards the enemy group in front of him, without a trace of expression on his face.
His hands, which were tightly holding the two swords, naturally drooped, and the tip of the sword in his right hand dragged on the ground, making a sharp "crackling" sound.
The enemy soldiers sensed that this man was unusual and kept changing their positions. For a while, no one dared to step forward.
They didn't dare to go up, but Chiba Michisaburo was about to go up!
It was so fast that he took a wrong step and came in front of the enemy soldiers in a blink of an eye.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
In an instant... just in an instant, the two swords in his hands splashed out handfuls of blood mist!
Thanks to the self-created Beichen Two Swords Style and the blessing of the talent "Left and Right Mutual Play", Chiba Michisaburo is best at fighting one against many!
Every group that wants to suppress Chiba Michisaburo by relying on the advantage of numbers will taste the bitter fruit.
In order to quickly defeat the surrounding enemy soldiers in order to support other battlefields, Chiba Michisaburo did not hesitate to use his signature skills.
He quickly changed his posture, holding the two swords in his hands at the same height as his chest, and then turned his body like a windmill.
His body was the central axis of the windmill, and the two swords in his hands were the blades of the windmill.
Just one turn turned several enemy soldiers into corpses on the ground.
When he turned again, several more people wailed and fell to the ground!
Facts have proved that even soldiers who have swallowed "Juezhan Yodo" can only be defeated in front of the overwhelming strength of the "Chiba Five Swordsmen".
Among them, the most brilliant and the ones who killed the most enemies are Chiba Sadakichi and Chiba Eijiro.
One of them is one of the founders of Beichen Ittoryu, and the other was once recognized as the "strongest in Edo"... Their heroic posture of swinging swords to kill enemies with ease is both fascinating and terrifying!
Chiba Sadakichi is already a middle-aged man over 50 years old.
As we all know, "out of shape" is a hurdle that middle-aged people cannot overcome.
Chiba Sadakichi's current image... to put it bluntly, it is the best annotation of the term "fat middle-aged man".
The flesh on his cheeks fell down, and the loose clothes could not hide his huge belly...
However, even if his body was decaying and degenerating, his limbs still remembered the method of swinging the sword and the skills of fighting!
Shigetaro, Tamon Shiro and others were just showing the style of Hokushin Ittoryu.
And Chiba Sadakichi - he himself is the incarnation of Hokushin Ittoryu!
At this moment, he faced more than ten enemy soldiers alone, majestically holding up his sword, adopting the Blue Eyes configuration, and the tip of the sword twitched gently like a wagtail's tail.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sound of metal hitting each other to block the attack and block the weapon, and the friction sound of feet sliding on the ground... these two sounds mixed together.
Chiba Sadakichi stepped forward and shuttled between the enemy soldiers.
In a split second, he moved behind the enemy group.
The enemy soldiers stood still in a stiff position as if they were petrified.
The next moment——
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Blood mist splashed out!
The enemy soldiers' bodies spurted out a lot of blood, and they fell heavily to the ground after shaking a few times.
At the same time, a pile of broken arms fell to the ground.
In just a blink of an eye, the area behind Chiba Sadakichi became a "no man's land".
He turned his back to the corpses on the ground and the blood that was still spurting out, and calmly took the Zanshin stance to shake off the blood stains left on the blade.
As for Chiba Eijiro... there is no need to mention him.
Chiba Eijiro, who is only in his twenties this year, is far from his peak.
In other words, he is still in a state of growth! There are endless possibilities!
Compared with the time when he dueled with Qingdeng, his strength has increased a lot.
If Chiba Sadayoshi, Chiba Michizaburo and others are "fighting", then he is "killing"!
The huge gap in strength made his battle look like a one-sided killing!
…
…
A powerful enemy attacked, and Edo was in crisis... Faced with this unprecedented crisis, the heroes of Edo did not stand idly by.
"Hachishaku Musou" Oishi Susumu, "Momoi of the Sea" Haruzo Momoi, "Itai's Little Tengu" Itai Hachiro... These famous swordsmen stepped forward one after another, spontaneously participated in this battle, and guarded all parts of Edo. Strategic location.
With their unparalleled "personal strength", they withstood the enemy's offensive! Even the "Biochemical Corps" that defeated the "Decisive Battle of Lake" could not shake their defense!

PS: I always label "Watatsumon" as "Truman"... This kind of group portrait scene in battle is really difficult to write! (Leopard throws the keyboard.jpg) I only managed to write about 5,000 words after a whole day of writing!
