Shusuke Matsukura sent ninjas to sneak into Nagasaki Castle in the dark, and although they were careful to sneak in, many people were found and killed on the spot.

The former guards have been in a panic for the past few days, and the gold and silver that the shogunate has asked him to trade have been looted by the pirates. Although he saved his life, he knew that as soon as Haikou retreated, his head would move immediately.

In the past few days, he has also thought of a lot of ways to send his subordinates out of Nagasaki Castle to deliver a message to the shogunate. But there were undoubtedly exceptions to all failures, and even the loss of three samurai.

Just when he was at a loss, someone suddenly knocked on the window of his bedroom late at night. The former guard jumped up from the bed violently, and he took a few steps to the window and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

A low, hoarse voice outside the window replied, "General Tokugawa Tadanaga has arrived!" ”

Hearing this voice, the former guard's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He hurriedly opened the window and jumped in from the outside a man covered in black veil.

The man went into the house and took off his mask. He opened his mouth and spit out a finger-long bamboo tube from his mouth, opened the bamboo tube, took out a note from it, handed it to the front guard, and said, "The general's military order, look at it!" At this time, the low and hoarse voice was gone, replaced by a neutral and soft voice.

The former guard didn't have time to pay attention to the change in the man's voice, he unfolded the note and took a closer look. I saw a line of small characters written on it, and the third watch will be opened tomorrow night, and the inside and outside of the city should be combined to break the sea bandit.

After reading the note, the former guard asked, "How many reinforcements did your lord bring in total?" ”

The ninja looked at the guard in front of him with disdain and said, "This is not a matter that you should care about, you should care about how to use tomorrow to contact the samurai in the castle, Ashigaru, and the inside and outside should join forces to defeat the sea cowards!" ”

The former guard, who was choked by the ninja's words, did not feel the slightest displeasure, but said, "What the adults taught is this!" The former guards must do a good job for Tokugawa Tadashi-sama! ”

"Your Majesty has brought a total of 10,000 elite soldiers, which is enough to break the sea bandits. Feel free to contact the samurai in the castle, Ashigaru! In the end, the ninja told the number of reinforcements to the front guards, so that he could help with peace of mind.

Nagasaki Castle was not quiet that night, and the sound of bells was often heard at night. The originally listless patrol officers also cheered up, and as long as they found someone walking on the street, they would be knocked down with a blow.

At dawn, there were more than a dozen corpses covered in black veil in front of Zhang Dou. All of these people were killed by the firecrackers, and they all had several holes in their bodies.

Zhang Dou squatted down and carefully observed his body on the ground. After a while, he muttered, "There are really ninjas!" Can they be invisible? ”

Gao Yeyi answered Zhang Dou on the side: "Handsome! These people are all unsightly rats, and stealth or something is simply a trick to deceive people! They are just covering themselves with a black cloth in the night, so that others cannot find them! ”

"My lord! These people must have a secret when they enter the city! Takano said, crouching down and pulling the ribs out of his waist.

A slash in the neck of a ninja and rummaging through it with his hands.

Takano, who didn't find anything in the neck area, slashed the ninja's abdomen again. Pull out the ninja's stomach and find a bamboo tube from inside.

When the bamboo tube was opened, the handwriting inside was already blurry and illegible. Gao Ye was about to make a move on the next corpse, but was interrupted by Zhang Dou waving his hand.

"Entering the city to spread the message is nothing more than a trick to open the city gate from inside and outside, since they want to enter the city, Ben Shuai will fulfill them!" Zhang Dou said coldly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, hundreds of samurai had gathered in the house of the former guard. These people were die-hard loyalists of the shogunate, and they immediately came to join the former guards when they were summoned by the former guards.

The former guard came to the ninja's side and bowed, "My lord! The front guards gathered a total of three hundred and fifty-nine people, and here there are one hundred and thirteen people. The rest of the people will set fire to the city as soon as they receive the signal to attract the attention of the pirates. When the time comes, let's go to the city gate together, open the city gate and let people into the city! ”

The ninja nodded in satisfaction, this former guard was a little timid, but he was still very capable. Being able to contact so many people in the Sea Watcher is already precious, and success or failure depends on whether it can succeed in the middle of the night.

Tonight Nagasaki Castle was much quieter than it was, and the noise of last night was no longer audible, replaced by a deathly silence.

At the time of the third watch, a man dressed in black appeared in the courtyard wall of the former guard's house. The man watched the street for a moment before diving into the darkness.

Soon after, a fire broke out in a distant house, and then fires flickered all over Nagasaki Castle.

For a time, there was chaos in the city, and the wooden houses of the Japanese people were most afraid of fire. With the firelight, countless widows crawled out of their homes.

They picked up buckets and rushed to the fire, whether it was their own house or not, they must put out the fire as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the fire is completely ignited, the surrounding houses will not be spared. Therefore, as long as the Japanese see a fire, whether it is their own house or not, they must go all out to put out the fire.

The fire burned most densely near the city gates, and even the soldiers who had been guarding the city gates ran down the city to join the ranks of fighting the fires.

The former guards in the darkness saw the empty city gate, and they couldn't help themselves. Even the heavens are helping him tonight, and Amaterasu is directly manifesting.

At this time, if he did not open the city gate, he led more than a hundred warriors to run towards the city gate. Half of the men ran toward the city, and the other half ran to the bottom of the city and opened the gates.

Tokugawa Tadanaga looked anxiously at Nagasaki Castle from outside the castle, and tonight was his last chance. If he can't take Nagasaki Castle tonight, his nephew will rush to Nagasaki tomorrow, and all his arrangements will be in vain.

Before the third watch arrived tonight, Shusuke Matsukura led 8,000 samurai Ashigaru to sneak towards Nagasaki Castle, and all the soldiers were informed. If anyone made any noise while marching, they would be beheaded, and the samurai ashigaru did not even dare to let out a fart and carefully marched towards Nagasaki Castle.

As they walked to the bottom of the castle, there was a flash of fire in Nagasaki. Then Nagasaki Castle, which had been quiet and scary, became noisy, with the voices of adults shouting and children crying.

Shusuke Matsukura's heart also became nervous, and waited, regardless of whether the city gate was opened or not. He is going to lead his troops to storm Nagasaki Castle, and tonight is the time for desperate efforts.

At this time, every moment became so long, and sweat appeared on Matsukura's forehead, which had always been calm.

Suddenly, a figure flickered on the top of the city, and the drawbridge that had been raised high was slowly lowered. The city gate was also opened from the inside, and more than a dozen figures ran out of the city gate.

Seeing this, Shusuke Matsukura breathed a sigh of relief, tonight's capture of the city was a success. As long as they enter the city, the pirates will be vulnerable.
