【5200】

Everyone came to the fireworks display tonight, not to fight, so Harada's favorite gun is currently being placed in the trial defense hall and is not at hand.

However, Harada was a samurai after all, so the two swords, one long and one short, that symbolized his status as a samurai, were still well hung on his waist.

Although he is not as good as spearman, Harada is still a bit proficient in swordsmanship.

Harada's sharp chop hit the gap in Tada Kouemon's armor on his left shoulder, injuring Tada Kouemon's left shoulder.

In an instant, strands of hot blood splashed out along the gaps in the armor.

I don't know if it was due to the stimulation of pain, but Tada Koemon's eyes became a little redder - more red bloodshot like flesh worms appeared in the whites of his eyes.

"Whoaaaahhhh!"

His momentum increased instead of decreasing, and he turned back sharply using his right leg as a pivot.

The gun moves with it! The centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the body is transmitted along the waist and arms to the gun barrel and the gun head. The sharp sound of "whooshing" is very scary.

Harada, who is usually very unconventional, can only show his rare serious side in this kind of life-and-death duel where he takes out real swords and real guns.

I saw Harada with a solemn face, neither panic nor chaos, neither greedy nor stupid, standing there to receive Tada Kouemon's attack.

He calmly took three steps back and dodged the tip of the big gun with centimeter accuracy.

This is something that masters of spear skills have in common - because the weapons they use are very long and the attack range changes greatly, they are all good at knowing the distance between them and their opponents.

What's more, Harada also has a talent with the effect of "very good sense of space": "seeing through".

With the blessing of this talent, Harada is very good at dodging other people's attacks.

Soon after, another person saw the right opportunity and stepped forward, dodging to the left front of Tada Yuemon.

"Drink!"

The figure of Genzaburo Inoue and the white-edged sword in his hand were stretched by the moonlight, pressing against Tada Kouemon's head like a mountain.

The sword swung down from the top hit Kouemon Tada's face! The sound of the blade cutting through the air was loud!

This time, Tada Koemon did not allow Inoue to succeed in a sneak attack like Harada did.

He screamed, swung the big gun like a wheel, put the barrel of the gun horizontally above his head, and narrowly deflected Inoue's downward blow, then adjusted the gun body, and kept swinging at Inoue with a furious attack.

Go, stab away.

In terms of personal strength, Inoue, who possesses the natural Rishin-ryu technique, is one of the strongest in the Imperial Guard Hall.

Inoue took up his stance and started to attack Tada Koemon without fear.

In the sand and dust violently raised by the wind pressure of swords and guns, swordsmen and gunmen, sharp blades and cold light, were constantly entangled and jumping, making fierce clangs and flashes.

In the blink of an eye, Inoue and Tada Koemon had exchanged more than ten moves in a row, with no outcome in sight.

At this time, Saito found the right opportunity and rushed forward. Cooperating with Inoue, he and Inoue launched a flanking attack on Tada Koemon.

With the help of Saito, who has both strong swordsmanship and sufficient practical combat experience, the battle situation immediately changed.

Even if he only faced Inoue alone, he could only fight to a draw with his general. How could Tada Koemon have the ability to face Inoue and Saito at the same time?

With two fists unable to defeat four hands, Tada Koemon, who was at a disadvantage, gritted his teeth and moved to the right, trying to use his body skills to get rid of the entanglement between Inoue and Saito.

Isai, who saw through Tada Koemon's intentions, followed immediately without hesitation.

The three of them ran quickly along the wide street.

While running horizontally, the three people continued to engage in fierce attack and defense.

One gun, two swords... The collision of three weapons was sometimes mixed with short gasps and thunderous roars.

The fierce battle makes people clearly feel the fierce collision between warriors and warriors, and between life and life.

As early as just now, when Inoue and Tada Koemon were fighting each other, Aoto wanted to rush forward to help Inoue, but he could not find a suitable opportunity to step forward to support.

In a battle of this level, untimely support will be counterproductive. Not only will it fail to provide effective assistance, it will actually hinder others.

"Group fighting" is not something like the more people in battle, the better.

Whether there is enough room for weapons to be wielded - this is the key to "bullying the few with more".

More than a dozen people swarmed up. As a result, you squeezed me, I squeezed you, and everyone couldn't swing their weapons away. How could we fight?

One of the reasons why Qingdeng was able to violently defeat the anti-barbarian group before was that the people in the anti-barbarian group did not know how to cooperate with each other and would only hinder each other, resulting in the numerical advantage never being fully utilized.

Souji, Sanako, Kondo and the rest also understood this truth, so they all did not rush in rashly like Aoto, but only maintained a certain distance with I, Sai, Tada Kouemon and the others.

Keep your distance and wait patiently for the best time to come forward for support.

Under the joint attack of I and Sai, Tada Koemon, who was increasingly at a disadvantage, could no longer guarantee that he could successfully receive every attack from I and Sai.

More and more slashes succeeded in breaking through the defense of the big gun and fell on Tada Yuemon.

It's a pity... Inoue and Saito's slashes couldn't penetrate Tada Koemon's armor at all. Those slashes that landed on the armor did nothing but create sparks and scratches.

The quality of this set of armor is truly remarkable. In the Warring States Period three hundred years ago, only those young generals who could unite a team alone were qualified to wear such good armor.

Only by hitting the gap between the armor plates...such as the small area between the breastplate and the shoulder armor that is not covered by the armor plates can effective damage be caused.

However, the area of ​​these armor gaps is too small, and it is not that easy to hit.

Therefore, although Isai's offensive was fierce, it was still unable to deal a decisive blow to Tada Koemon.

However, the two of them fought hard and successfully gave the others the opportunity to sneak attack Tada Koemon.

Snapped!

Tada Koemon suddenly heard a loud stamping sound behind him.

In order to compete with Inoue and Saito, Tada Koemon had to put more attention on his own front... It wasn't until he heard the sound of footsteps that he realized someone was sneaking up behind him.

With a startled look on his face, he immediately turned around and looked back - the first thing that caught his eye was the dark light and shadow.

Nagakura Shinpachi, who raised his upper body, leaned back his waist and upper body with exaggerated movements.

Although the posture is a bit funny...but the power contained in this amazing body curve that bends backward makes people dare not be paralyzed or careless at all!

The moment Tada Koemon turned around and looked over, Nagakura's body suddenly bounced away - his body was thrown forward like a slingshot, driving the sword in his palm like a meteor falling from the sky.

Slash down towards Tada Koemon's Tenreigai!

The sharp wind hurt Tada Koemon's face, and the hair on his face stood up.

In the blink of an eye, this slash with the momentum of splitting mountains and seas had already reached three inches in front of his nose.

In this flash of lightning, Tada Koemon raised his left arm and used his left arm armor to catch Nagakura's sword.

Kara...!

The crisp cracking sound made Tada Koemon's expression change drastically.

Nagakura, who practices Shinto Muken-ryu and specializes in attack power, successfully cut through Tada Yuemon's arm armor with brute force!

Although the price paid for this was slightly higher, Nagakura's blade directly burst into a large gap, and the blade failed to penetrate deeply into the flesh. It only cut a strip on Tada Yuemon's right arm, and there was no blood.

It may be a small, short wound, but the "psychological damage" caused by this blow far exceeds the "physical damage".

Tada Kouemon's attack range is indeed terrifying, his spear skills are indeed superb, and his armor is indeed difficult to deal with... But he is fighting so many people at the same time, and the opponents he is fighting are all a bunch of people who have already mastered their respective schools.

Even though he is a legendary swordsman, he has always fallen short of his capabilities.

However, Tada Koemon, who was already at such a disadvantage and completely suppressed, did not show any fear or weakness.

On the contrary, the more he fought, the braver he became... No, it should be said that the more he fought, the crazier he became.

"How many abilities do you still have? How many people do you still have? Use them all! Send them up!"

After shouting, Tada Koemon ignored the pain in his left arm and forcibly pushed away Nagakura's knife embedded in his arm armor. Then he let out a powerful shout and swung his gun across Inoue and Saito's sword.

Chest.

Tada Koemon's attack was full of madness.

He didn't leave any backup plan, he didn't put up any defense... he fired this shot with a desperate spirit of "I don't hesitate to die with you"!

If Inoue and Saito were willing, they could deliver a fatal attack to Tada Koemon, who was now wide open, and send this lunatic to see King Yama.

But if they do this... their stomachs will be torn open by the point of the big gun while killing Tada Kouemon, and they will end up dying together with Tada Kouemon.

Jing Zhai, who was not interested in dying with a madman, had to spread out, retreat and hide a few steps away.

The moment after forcing Inoue and Saito back, Tada Koemon turned sideways and attacked Nagakura.

"Did you all see it? The rebels' defense line has been torn apart by me! Follow me! Chase and annihilate the enemy!"

With his good eyesight and night vision, Ayoto was keenly aware that there seemed to be more red bloodshot eyes in Tada Koemon's eyes than before...

As the number of red blood threads further increased, the light shining in the pupils became increasingly chaotic...

…

"See? These rebels are not scary at all! Although they have weapons, they are just a bunch of low-level warriors after all! A bunch of farmers who have nothing to do but cultivate the land! Don't be afraid! Follow me!"

Koemon Tada fought with Nagakura while ringing bells and drums.

…
