In the first round of the battle, the Tsugaru family attacked the 3,000 well-replenished defenders of the Nangaoka Imperial Palace with 8,000 tired divisions, but the result was a casualty comparison that left Ivan speechless, and the cruel reality forced Ivan to find a way to deal with the Tsugaru family army outside the city.

This was only the first half day, and there were nearly 2,000 casualties among the 3,000 defenders of the Langoka Imperial Palace, and even if those soldiers who could still fight with minor injuries were included, there were no more than 1,500 soldiers in the Langoka Imperial Palace who could be put into battle.

The Tsugaru clan army outside the castle has paid the price of less than 1,500 dead today, and in addition to the hundreds of wounded who cannot be immediately put into battle, the Tsugaru clan will be able to attack about 6,000 men early tomorrow morning.

With 3,000 defenders attacking the city against 8,000 enemy troops, and then playing a damage ratio of nearly 1 to 1, this kind of battle was indeed enough to prove that the army of the Langoka family was unreliable, so if Ivan wanted to defend the Nangang Palace, he had to take some unconventional measures.

The only thing Ivan with limited power can use at any time is the fifteen shadow killers under his command, the shadow killers who are better at assassination than ninjas, they are the reapers of life in the night, and they are also the trump card that can play a special role.

In today's daytime battle, the defenders of the Nanaoka Imperial Palace were able to repel the fierce attack of the Tsugaru clan mainly by relying on the attacks of the shadow killers, and if it were not for the death of a large number of samurai and the head of the Ashigaru group, the army of the Tsugaru clan would not have been so easily defeated.

The unconventional measure that Ivan wants to take now is to use the shadow killer to assassinate all levels of samurai in the Tsugaru family's army in the military camp outside the city at night;

Ivan's idea is good, and his approach is not wrong, but will this operation really go so smoothly? Kanehira Tsunade is recognized as the most capable minister of the Tsugaru family, and he can't see what is happening on the city wall today?

Facts have proved that any small force may have real talents, not to mention that the Tsugaru family is not a small family in the Yamato Empire, and the strength of Kaneheitsunori is not to be underestimated by anyone!

The battle on the castle walls was watched by Kanehira Tsunori, and he also understood that the strange death of a large number of samurai and the head of the Ashigaru group was the main reason for the failure of his army's siege of the city, but he regarded the identity of the shadow killer as a ninja of the Yamato Empire.

Kanehira didn't care about the ninjas who appeared in the Nangangoka Imperial Palace, because the value of ninjas was only assassination, and they couldn't change the essential difference in strength between the warring parties, but the appearance of these ninjas caused Kanehira Tsunade to be vigilant.

What kind of person is Nanoka Xianfan, Kaneheita knows better than other people from the Tsugaru family, and the Tsugaru family's infiltration of the Nangaoka Imperial Palace started from Kanehira Tsunori, as the first executor of this infiltration plan, how could he not know Nanoka Xianfan.

Whoever later achieved the fruits of the victory could not change the fact that Kanehira knew about the Nangang Imperial Palace, and it was this understanding that made Kanehira not believe that Nanoka Xianfan was capable of starting a rebellion, and the appearance of the ninja strengthened his judgment.

Mutsu was the northernmost region of the Yamato Empire, and it was also far from the major ninja factions, and if it weren't for Hattori Yasagi's eldest son returning from Igara-ryu to learn ninjutsu, I am afraid that no one in the Tsugaru family would have had the opportunity to deal with those ninjas.

So the question arises, how can Nanoka Xianfan, who has never dealt with ninjas, get the help of many ninjas who are at least at least the upper ninja level? This is not a small problem, and many of the things it represents are not prudent to be cautious.

Out of fear of ninjas, the cautious Kanehei Tsunade specially ordered all the generals and ashigaru generals in his army to wear ordinary ashigaru clothes tonight, and who was in the ashigaru military tent with ordinary ashigaru.

As for the military tents where the Shogun and the Ashigaru General were supposed to rest, there were some ordinary Ashigaru soldiers living in them, but they were all wearing clothes that belonged to the Shogun and the Ashigaru General, and those who didn't know would definitely not notice this subtle change.

As night fell, the quiet barracks became more and more silent, and the vigil patrolling back and forth was the only soldier in the entire barracks who did not rest, and the other Tsugaru family soldiers fell asleep from exhaustion.

The shadow killers who quietly approached the barracks infiltrated the barracks without alerting the patrolling Ashigaru, and after they found the barracks of the senior generals, they began their assassination plan for the night.

The first 'senior general' to be assassinated was a 'general of the chamberlain' whom Ivan had personally killed; after cutting the throat of this 'senior general', Ivan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

After the seventh 'senior general' who was successfully assassinated by him died quietly, he finally found out where something was wrong; no matter how incompetent the senior general of the Tsugaru family was, it was impossible for him to be killed without the ability to resist, there must be something wrong with this!

"Someone infiltrates the barracks!Catch them, don't let them escape!" "Somebody infiltrates the barracks......"

Ivan's reaction speed was not slow, but it was still a step slower than Kanehira Tsuna who was ready for everything, and when he walked out of the tent, the entire barracks was already lit up by countless torches, and the other fifteen shadow killers had no place to hide.

"I don't know where you powerful ninjas came from, and I don't want to know who you are, since you helped Nanoka Xianfan to start a rebellion, you are already an enemy of our Tsugaru clan, it's your own choice!"

After saying these words with a sinking face, Kanehira waved his hand and motioned for the bows and arrows around him to start firing arrows, which was the most effective way to deal with ninjas that Kanehira knew, after all, hand-to-hand combat was what ninjas were best at.

In the face of sharp arrows fired from all sides, the nimble shadow killers immediately shook their bodies, and with this level of archers alone, they could not threaten the powerful shadow killers, and the siege of the Ping Tsunade revealed the true identity of those high-ranking generals.

In this way, Ivan did not miss the opportunity to assassinate the enemy's high-ranking general, and he escaped the fire of at least a hundred sharp arrows in a single leap of the air, and jumped in front of a general dressed in ordinary ashigaru clothes, killing them with lightning speed.

The shadow killers who followed the same example quickly learned the methods they led to find a new target for assassination, and in just an instant, more than a dozen senior generals of the Tsugaru family, the lowest ashigaru general, were killed, and the identities of the prey and the hunter were once again shockingly reversed!
