I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 99: Infiltration and Assassination (Part 2)

   After confirming that the short-bearded samurai in front of him completely died, Ogata slowly lay down on the ground.

Shake off the blood on the flanks of the necks of the bearded warrior and the short-bearded warrior and retracted the scabbard, then drew out the short-bearded warrior's knife, and walked slowly towards a short distance in front of him. The samurai who was yawning with his name turned his back.

   The two knives currently stuck in Ogata's waist are the treasures that Kuranaga prepared for them.

   As for Ogata’s original two swords passed down from generation to generation by their Ogata clan, they were given by Ogata to temporarily stay in Kuranaga’s mansion.

   Although it is a treasured sword, no matter how "treasure" a treasured sword is, it is a consumable item.

   Therefore, it is very necessary to reduce the loss of one's knives as much as possible.

  Because of feeding the enemy, borrowing the enemy's knife to use it is an extremely easy way to reduce the loss of your own knives.

   Ogata cats at his waist, clasping the sword of the short-bearded samurai, and approaching the samurai who is still facing him step by step.

   covered the samurai's mouth with his left hand, and then swiped the aorta in his neck with a knife with his right hand.

   The system sound rang again in his mind, but Ogata didn't have the leisure to listen carefully to how much experience he had gained.

   flattened the samurai in his arms on the ground, and then Ogata gestured behind him.

   As soon as Ogata's gesturing hand was put down, Ichiro and others immediately emerged from the bushes not far away.

   "According to the map given by the flying monkey, we should have almost reached the location in the source of Matsudaira..." Ichiro said in a deep voice.

After    Flying Monkey detected the location of Matsudaira Gennai, he not only marked his location on the map, but also drew the easiest route to sneak in.

  Furthermore, the drawing technique of the flying monkey is quite superb. Even people like Ogata with little experience in viewing pictures can easily understand the map drawn by the flying monkey.

   The infiltration process is much simpler than Ogata imagined.

   Investigate the reason-these guards in the source of Matsudaira are too slack.

   Almost everyone believes in their hearts that there is no danger in Genai Matsudaira, so they are extremely unconcerned about guard tasks one by one.

   Some were in a daze, some suddenly slipped to the side for convenience, some just dozed off...

   Thanks to these slack guards, the infiltration of Ogata and others was extremely smooth.

   Ogata still carried the sword he had just snatched from the short-beard samurai in his hand, hiding in a thick bush with the others, and continued to move forward.

   There are large bushes in the wild boar forest, and these dense bushes have provided considerable help to Ogata and others in their sneaking.

at this time--

"stop."

   Ichiro, who was walking in the front, paused and signaled everyone behind him to stop.

   Ogata thought there was another warrior in front of him.

   But who knows, Ichiro said in a deep voice:

   "...I have seen...Matsuhira Genuchi..."

   Upon hearing Ichiro's words, the pupils of Ogata and others shrank slightly.

   Ogata continued to maintain the cat's waist, moved a few steps forward, and came to Ichiro's side.

   opened a gap between the bushes in front of him with his fingers.

   Through this gap, Ogata clearly saw-in the clearing outside the bush where they were hiding, Genai Matsudaira was sitting leisurely on a stone drinking hot tea.

   Just as the flying monkey said-at this time, the guards at the side of Matsudaira Gen, only 3 samurai including Qihara, and 4 small surnames.

   "...Ichiro." Ogata said solemnly, "how to act?"

   As soon as Ogata's voice fell, the rest of the people including Ogata focused on Ichiro.

   In the combat meeting last night, Kuranaga made it clear that Ichiro will be the commander-in-chief after the operation begins, and Ogata and others will have to listen to Ichiro's command after entering the wild boar forest.

The appointment of   Kura Naga is not aimless.

   Ichiro was originally one of Kuranaga’s staff, a rare talent with cultural and military skills, and it was indeed quite appropriate to delegate the task of frontline command to Ichiro.

   Looking at the Matsudaira source who was still enjoying the tea leisurely, and the Qihara and others beside him, Ichiro remained silent.

   After a while, Ichiro finally opened his lips and said:

   "...Shichiro, are you sure to kill the other two samurai except Nanahara as quickly as possible?"

   Ogata looked at the location of the two samurai: "I have full confidence."

   "That's good." Ichiro said solemnly, "Nanahara is undoubtedly the most threatening person...So-everyone except Qirou, including me, go to deal with Qihara."

   "You don't want to kill Qiyuan, as long as you can delay the life of Qiyuan."

   "And Shichiro is responsible for solving the other 2 samurai besides Shichihara."

   "At the same time...you are also responsible for cutting down the head in the source of Matsudaira."

   "Before you successfully cut down the head of Genai Matsudaira, we will definitely hold back Qihara."

   "...That's it." Ogata whispered, "Nice plan."

   Ichiro’s plan is a variant of "Tian Ji Horse Racing".

  Yuichiro and the others dragged the Qihara's upper siege, and Ogata's upper siege took advantage of Shichihara's drag to eliminate the enemy's chugoki and Matsudaira Genai.

   After Ogata’s voice fell, the other loyalists also nodded in agreement, expressing their appreciation for Ichiro’s plan.

"Since everyone agrees with my plan..." Ichiro lifted the thumb of his left hand holding the sheath and pushed the knife out of the sheath. "After I count to 3, let's start... "

   "Everyone except Shichiro followed me."

   "Shichirou, rush straight towards the source of Matsudaira. No matter what happens on our side, you don't have to worry about it."

   "Shichiro... everything is... please..."

   "...I understand." Ogata tightened the knife in his hand, "Leave it to me..."

   The rest of the people also pulled their respective swords out of the sheath of the scabbard, and gripped the hilt of the knife with their right hands, letting their hearts beat wildly and sweat like a stream.

   "3……"

   Ichiro, who started to count down, gripped the handle of the knife~www.ltnovel.com~ Everyone began to pour their strength into their hind legs.

"1!!"

   Ichiro's last "1" was a direct roar, and the momentum seemed to have poured all his strength into this roar.

   As Ichiro’s roar fell, everyone kicked their hind legs and rushed out of the bushes, like an arrow from a string.

   Ichiro and others rushed towards Nanahara.

   Ogata rushed straight into the source of Matsudaira.

   After Ogata and others rushed out of the bushes, Genai Matsudaira and Qihara and others around him were stunned.

   Then...Nanahara reacted first.

   "There is an assassin!! Protect the lord!!" While making this roar, Qihara drew a knife from her waist.

   Ogata heard the sound of gold and iron struck not far from his side.

   He knows—this is the sound of a fight after Ichiro and others started to hand in hand with Nanahara.

   He did not go to see the battle between Ichiro and others.

   His gaze has been firmly locked in Matsudaira Genai from beginning to end!

   There are 3 samurai guards beside Genai Matsudaira at this time.

   At the moment Nanahara was stopped by Ichiro and others, the other two samurai drew their swords and rushed towards Ogata.

   Ogata didn't stop, and swung his sword horizontally.

   The blade flashed and then flashed again.

   With 2 simple and sharp swords, these 2 samurai were beheaded to death.

   These two samurai can't even slow down Ogata's footsteps.

   After slaying the two samurai, Ogata also rushed to the front of Matsudaira Genai.

   "Go to hell!" Ogata pierced the tip of the knife straight towards the chest of Genai Matsudaira who was still dazed!
