I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"As long as you bring me to that place, I will let you live."

Aotaro, who is currently sitting slumped on the ground, can barely see the scene outside Taniguchi from his current position.

Therefore, Aotaro was able to see—the end of the direction Kazumi's naginata was pointing at was Toyowa Village.

……

……

Before Ogata began to comfort Omachi, and Kazumi began to slaughter Aotaro's subordinates for a few breaths——

Click, click, click, click...

The torrent formed by the sound of armor colliding slowly approached the wooden wall of Fenghe Village.

A few hours ago, Matsudaira Jonobu, who arrived at the barracks, issued a bloody order to Inamori—to dispatch 150 elite soldiers to exterminate all living people who are still alive on Butterfly Island tonight.

Naturally, Inamori did not dare to neglect the order given by the veteran Matsudaira Sadanobu, and quickly began to organize a landing force.

The 150 soldiers responsible for landing on the island were, without exception, the elite of the army.

Needless to say, the soldiers are far more skilled than ordinary soldiers. At the same time, they have all undergone special night combat training and are good at night combat. They can still see and act in a dark environment without lighting a torch.

After successfully landing on Butterfly Island in the evening, the 150 soldiers were divided into two groups-30 soldiers stayed on the coast and guarded the ships.

The other 120 soldiers took advantage of the darkness and began to go deep into Butterfly Island and launched a night attack on Fenghe Village.

As generals of the shogunate army, they naturally possessed the map of Butterfly Island, and they knew exactly where Fenghe Village was.

The 120 soldiers were lucky—the journey to Fenghe Village went smoothly, and all the ogres they encountered along the way were successfully thrown off by them.

The person in charge of the team was a middle-aged officer who was highly regarded by Inamori.

After finally seeing the wooden wall that isolated Fenghe Village from the world, his expression became relaxed.

Arriving at Fenghe Village meant that a small part of their mission had been completed.

And what they are going to do next is very simple.

The officer raised his hand towards the subordinates behind him, and shouted in a low voice:

"Battering the ram."

Following the officer's order, a dozen soldiers rushed towards the wooden wall in front of them with a huge battering ram!

This wooden gavel specially used to knock down city gates requires the joint efforts of more than a dozen adult men to hold it.

They knew that there were tall wooden walls built around Fenghe Village, so they specially brought along the siege equipment commonly used in siege warfare.

This huge battering ram, under the manipulation of these dozens of soldiers, slammed straight and quickly towards the wooden wall of Fenghe Village, and then——

Bang! !

The deafening muffled sound exploded in the ears of these soldiers.

This sound alarmed Ogata, Atachi, and everyone in Toyowa Village.

At the same time, it also alarmed Kazumi who had just raised the naginata in his hand and was about to kill Aotaro.

Under the impact of the battering ram, the wooden walls in this area tilted inwards quite a bit.

Chapter 238 Attack of the Shogunate Army

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 immediately start the next collision.

Bang! !

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

Bang! !

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

Bang! !

After the fourth impact, the wooden wall in this area was finally completely collapsed 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 at 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 voice fell, five soldiers of the shogunate army rushed in, 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, and after 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 at their hands with 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 ogres 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 pack 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.

Behind the third floor where Ogata and his party were, the anxious maid shouted anxiously to Ogata and his party in a weeping 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!"

Chapter 239

After learning that the shogunate army rushed into the wall for no reason and massacred them, Konnosuke made a decisive decision-opened the gate of his mansion and let the villagers hide in.

Konnosuke's mansion is the tallest and most magnificent house in Fenghe Village.

Therefore, it is also the strongest "fortress" of Fenghe Village.

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up! We're closing!"

Several youths guarding the gate of the mansion shouted anxiously at a young girl who was rushing towards here.

Behind this girl, there are more than a dozen soldiers of the shogunate army chasing her.

At present, only this girl has not yet hid in the mansion of Konosuke.

The rest had either escaped successfully.

Or have died under the swords and guns of the shogunate army.

Under the effect of the desire to survive, the girl broke out with extraordinary footsteps, and the dozen or so soldiers couldn't catch up with the girl for a while—of course, part of the reason why they couldn't catch up with the girl was that Because they wear heavy armor.

After the girl rushed into Konnosuke's mansion before the soldiers came after her, the young men guarding the gate hurriedly closed the gate together.

With a bang, the gate of Konnosuke's mansion was completely closed.

The moment the gate closed, the shogunate soldiers who were chasing the girl also rushed to the gate.

There is no need for someone to command, these soldiers know what to do.

"one two Three!"

After the series of neat slogans fell, the dozen or so soldiers slammed their shoulders hard against the gate.

Squeak, squeak...

Under the impact of these dozens of soldiers, the wooden gate made an overwhelmed "squeak".

The gate was quite thick, and the soldiers of the shogunate army couldn't break through it for a while—of course, it was only for a while.

When these dozens of soldiers hit the wall with a "boom", "boom", and "boom", the rest of the soldiers from various places in the village were slowly gathering.

Let me add a sentence, [ \Mi\Mi\Reading\app \mimiread\ ] is really good, it is worth installing, and even Android and Apple phones support it!

More and more soldiers gathered in front of the Konnosuke mansion, and more and more soldiers joined the ranks of knocking on the door.

After a while, the 90 generals who were in charge of entering the wall to wipe out the islanders had gathered in front of Konnosuke's mansion.

They are sharpening their knives, waiting for the moment when the gate of this mansion will be knocked open; waiting for the moment when they can enter the house and wipe out the remaining villagers hiding in this mansion...

……

……

boom!

boom!

The sound of the shogunate slamming on the door continued to spread to the ears of everyone who was currently hiding in the mansion.

Although at the gate, there were a few young people pushing against the gate and trying to slow down the speed at which the gate was knocked open, but everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the gate was knocked open.
