"Ittosai..." Inamori murmured, while subconsciously glancing sideways at Matsudaira Sadanobu beside him, who was also in a state of shock.

Before, he had always turned a deaf ear to Matsudaira Sadanobu's idea that "Ogata Ittosai might ask for reinforcements" - but he never thought that Matsudaira Sadanobu's long-standing worries would come true.

At this time, the messenger sent by Katsura Yoshimasa also reported another important piece of information: the cavalry brought by Ogata Ittosai was the Lucian cavalry.

Although the question of "who brought this cavalry team here" was solved, more questions emerged.

Why did Ogata Ittosai bring people to attack them?

Is Ogata Ittousai still connected with the Lucians? How could he invite Ogata Ittousai?

What does Ogata Ittosai want to do? Does he want to take our army's main line directly, or does he just want to harass us?

…

Although all kinds of questions were squeezed together, making Daomori feel that his head was a little painful, but at this moment, he instinctively and quickly displayed the qualities that he should have as the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

He quickly regained his composure and then looked around.

The generals in this formation are now in a state similar to "petrified" because they have learned the name of the intruder.

Daomori, who knew he had to find a way to revive everyone's morale, thought for a few moments and said loudly:

"I was still thinking about which idiot dared to attack our army formation! It turned out to be Ogata Ittosai, a lunatic who keeps changing his ways to oppose our shogunate!"

"Hmph! Since he personally led this cavalry team, it comes at the right time!"

"The number of cavalry under his command is less than a hundred."

"And the army we are waiting for is tens of thousands of people!"

"With less than a hundred people versus ten thousand people, I have the advantage!"

"No matter how sharp Ogata Ittousai's sword is, can he still defeat our 10,000-strong army?"

"No matter how powerful his skills are, there is only one person after all! He will eventually run out of energy!"

"When his physical strength is exhausted, it will be us who can eliminate this scourge and leave his name in the history books!"

Inamori's impassioned speech succeeded in boosting the morale of many generals in the camp just as Inamori had hoped.

Some generals, probably to further embolden themselves, said loudly:

"That's right! Lord Inamori is right! No matter what we say, there is no way that we can't even deal with a mere cavalry of less than a hundred men!"

"Is there something wrong with Ogata Ittosai somewhere? Why does it come to trouble our army so often? This is the third time he has attacked our army, right?"

"Kill the executioner!"

…

Looking at the changes in the generals around him, Daomori secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Inamori turned his head and redirected his gaze to the direction of the 6th formation, which was currently being ravaged by Ogata and others.

He has now conveyed the order to defend against the enemy to all the generals in the army, and has done everything he can.

All he can do now is to pray to the generals and troops to intercept and defeat Ogata Ittosai as soon as possible...

…

…

Formation 6——

After charging all the way to this point, Ogata's human has turned into a blood man, and his horse has turned into a blood horse, like Shura who came from hell.

And behind him, Skulucci and the others now looked extremely horrifying because their bodies were splattered with blood.

Originally, the Don hippo used by Ogata and the others was extremely large, taller than many samurai.

Ogata and the others were already feeling extremely oppressive as they rode horses that were exceptionally tall in the eyes of the generally short generals.

And the way Ogata and the others were covered in blood now made the sense of oppression even stronger, making the generals of the shogunate feel suffocated even more.

Many soldiers were so frightened by the appearance of Ogata and the others that they were stunned on the spot.

Of course - these generals who were frightened by the bloody appearance of Ogata and others were only a few.

Most of the soldiers were frightened by the flag behind Ogata... to be precise, by the name "Ogata Ittosai".

This is the purpose of Ogata revealing his true face, the purpose of tying this flag to the saddle.

The reason why this large flag with "The Unparalleled Sword Ogata Issei" painted on it was tied to the horse was not only to prevent Skulucci and others from losing sight of their purpose - but also to prevent the Shogunate generals from losing sight of their purpose.

Everyone knows: Ogata Yoshi is coming!

What Ogata wanted was to use "psychological warfare" to destroy the fighting spirit of the shogunate generals.

Judging from the current results - Ogata's "psychological warfare" is quite successful.

Ogata had already heard many soldiers wailing something like "It's Ogata Ittosai" and running away in a hurry.

In order to further intensify the fear of the generals and destroy their fighting spirit and morale, Ogata never showed mercy to all the generals who blocked his way.

Like now - there is a soldier dressed as an ashigaru in front of him, roaring and rushing towards Ogata.

Ogata's whole body and mind is currently immersed in the word "breakthrough", so facing the three ashigaru rushing toward him, Ogata immediately calculated the distance between the two sides like a conditioned reflex, and swung his sword to kill this person.

The soldiers cut him down.

Da da da……

The sound of horse hooves came from ahead.

Following the sound, there was a general wearing mighty armor, riding a horse and carrying a sword towards Ogata.

Behind this general, there were only about twenty infantrymen following.

To be able to wear such luxurious battle armor, his rank must be that of a general in the army or above.

He led such a small force to meet them, probably because time was too urgent and he could not mobilize too many people.

"I am the general of Morioka Domain - Takeshi Yoshimura!"

The general announced his home loudly.

However, Ogata didn't pay attention at all to hear this guy's name.

Ogata, who was in a hurry now, was already reluctant to introduce himself to his family - and he was not interested in hearing a dying man's self-introduction.

The two rushed straight towards each other.

The weapons used by Ogata and Takeshi Yoshimura are both swords. Although Ogata's length is longer and Ogata's wingspan is larger, the attack distance between the two is actually not much different.

Just as the two horses were about to miss each other, Yoshimura clenched the sword in his palm tightly, intending to swing it at Ogata's horse.

Ogata also clenched his sword at the same moment.

The timing of the two men's sword strikes was the same - but their speed and strength were too different.

Yoshimura was about to swing his sword, but Ogata's slash had already been made.

Sakakihara Itto-ryu·Ryuubi.

The horizontal sword light swept across the head of Yoshimura Meng's war horse. After cutting off the horse's head in one go, the remaining momentum was not reduced and it swept towards Yoshimura Meng's neck.

Yoshimura Meng's head and his horse's head were chopped off at almost the same time. The headless body and horse fell to the ground weakly.

General: Takeo Yoshimura - died in battle!

Yoshimura was instantly killed by Ogata, and the more than twenty infantrymen he brought with him were all scattered by Ogata and others.

Ogata guessed: The general he killed just now was probably not an unknown general. Because after defeating the general, Ogata clearly heard the intensive screams and wails ringing around him, and the generals in front of him

The rate of defeat also accelerated further.

…

…

The 6th formation, this formation——

"Damn it! What the hell is Kuroda doing! Why haven't you led someone over to intercept Ogata Ittosai!"

Guiyi was looking at Ogata and others who were getting closer and closer to him with panic eyes, and then looked anxiously at the direction of Kuroda from time to time.

He had just sent an order to Kuroda, asking him to lead his troops over as soon as possible to hold off Ogata and buy time for his side to set up the formation.

However - until now, he has not seen Kuroda.

Little did Katsura Yoshimasa know: while he was waiting for Kuroda's help, Kuroda was now very "relaxed".

…

…

6th formation, flank——

"Move quickly!" Kuroda shouted loudly to a general beside him, "Hurry up and gather more people! With this little force now, we can't stop that bandit army!"

The general did not dare to resist Kuroda. After a loud response, he turned around and left to carry out Kuroda's mission of "gathering more people."

After the general left, Kuroda turned his attention back to the direction of the 6th formation's main formation, which was about to be attacked.
To be continued...
