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 demeanor of a sword master!
Facing the dense enemy soldiers in front of him, he raised his sword without any panic or fear - and his precise and sharp sword skills were unleashed immediately!
laugh!
The silver sword flashed to the left, cutting through the shortest path in mid-air, splitting 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 caused the "vacuum zone" around him to expand in 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 light 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 (Goryeo Gate) and the second city gate (Watura Gate) is not spacious, and it is a very standard "one man can guard the gate, and no one can 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 man Tan Seiichiro thrust his sword into his body and drove the enemy soldiers out of the Wataru Gate bit by bit, making them invincible.
Those who were 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.
The people in front are retreating, and the people behind are advancing... In this way, congestion occurs as expected.
For a time, the scene became increasingly chaotic and order gradually collapsed.
Otani Seiichiro is not alone in his struggle.
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 one arrow missed, each arrow hit an enemy soldier, killing 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 swordsmanship, and Ogasawara-style archery, as well as various military arts such as Koshu-style military science, Gaiki-style artillery skills, and Noshima-style military art.
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 shoots arrows, he is still more than enough!
At this moment, one could see him using skillful and swift movements to pull out sharp arrows from the arrow pot at his waist, and put them on the bow. He pushed the bow with his front hand like he was pushing a mountain, and he stroked the string with his back hand like a tiger's whiskers - whoosh - again.
An enemy soldier fell.
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 and then raised his bow to shoot, without missing a beat!
Either it hits the enemy's Tianling Cap, or it hits the enemy's neck...these are the parts where life will be lost immediately if the arrow hits.
In just a moment, he shot nearly ten people to the ground.
He just 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, Seiichiro Tanani becomes more and more courageous in fighting! 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 this statement 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 at him?"
"We were just unprepared and caught the enemy by surprise!"
"That's right! As long as we face the battle calmly and without being arrogant or impetuous, the enemy is not scary!"
"Come on!"
"Follow the Juggernaut!"
The two great martial arts masters suddenly joined the battle and took the lead, greatly motivating the defenders of Yotsuya Mikado.
They regained their morale and fighting spirit, shouted and rushed down the Wataru Gate, came to the side of Otani Seiichiro, and fought side by side with the sword master!
Suddenly, the situation was reversed.
The attacking side becomes the Tokugawa army, and the defeated side becomes the French-Qi coalition army.
Even with the blessing of the "Decisive Battle of Yodo", the soldiers of the French and French coalition forces could not resist the shogunate army who was like a god of help at this time.
Facing the fierce attack of the Tokugawa army, they quickly retreated.
In just a few moments, they were driven out of the area between the two city gates, and then driven out of the Gaoli 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 lost and recovered, and returned to the control of the Tokugawa army.
The Yotsuya Mikado was defended—the gratifying results greatly boosted the morale of the shogunate!
They waved their weapons one after another and cheered loudly.
"Eh! Eh! Oh!" the cheers kept coming one after another.
The male Tan Seiichiro held his bloody sword and stood on the gate of Goryeo Gate, staring expressionlessly at the enemy soldiers escaping in panic outside the gate.
Suddenly, Kubota's voice came from behind him:
"Seiichiro, your sword skills are still so sharp."
Kiyone Kubota carried his bow and moved slowly to the side of Tan Seiichiro.
Male Tan Seiichiro shook off the blood on the sword and smiled slightly:
To be continued...
