265 If you don't go crazy, you won't live
The night is dyed like ink, and the Honmaru castle tower of Odawara Castle crouches in the vast city like a giant beast.
In a corner of the behemoth's body, Hojo summoned Takashi Mototada and Kazema Kotaro.
Although it was an emergency combat meeting, the scale of this meeting was inevitably too small?
Wind Demon Kotaro glanced up at Shiyasu uneasily, also worried.
Although he is a ninja, Kotaro is also a ninja with status, he is the leader of the Wind Demon, and he is certainly different from down-and-out ninjas like Kato Duanzo and Ishikawa Goemon.
Kotaro, as the leader of the Wind Demon, is naturally also responsible for the rise and fall of the Wind Demon.
But now......
Kotaro had heard a sentence from Ming Guo that the bird's nest fell from the tree and turned over, how could the nest leave an intact bird's egg?
Hojo's scarred face flickered in the light, and the multi-eyed Mototada, who was sitting on the side, remained motionless like a stone statue.
The dim oil lamp was bright for a while, and dark for a while, just like the wind demon Kotaro was in an uncertain mood at the moment.
Under such a depressing atmosphere, Hojo Shiyasu suddenly said:
"I will, attack the Kwantung Coalition at night!"
Kotaro "chuckled" in his heart and had an ominous premonition.
There is no other reason, last time on the west bank of the Tone River, Hojo Shiyasu said such a sentence...... Then he launched a night attack with the Hojo Army.
…… And then it failed.
In the first battle of Kofutai, not only did he lose many elite soldiers of the Hojo family, but he also killed Toyama Tsunaka, one of the three old families, Hojo Tsunataka, the head of the Aobi banner, Tominaga Naokaka, and one of the three elders......
If it weren't for Hojo's successful escape from the battlefield, it would have been a complete fiasco.
This...... I don't know what Hojo's plans are?
"Please command, my lord!"
Since he was specially called, it must be a place where the ninja army is useful...... Kotaro Kazema seems to have foreseen his future.
"I want you to lead the ninja army to raid the big cylinder team of the Nagao family and destroy those things!"
Shiyasu's words were like a boulder thrown into the water, stirring up waves in the heart of the wind demon Kotaro.
Although he is nearly 1.9 meters tall and is often considered to be a typical example of strength and clumsiness, Kotaro is agile and thoughtful, far from being a reckless person.
"Report to the Lord...... Although our ninjas were able to find out where the big tube team was, they really didn't know how to use it or how to destroy it. The lord's command, the villain should obey it...... It's just that the villain doesn't know what to do to destroy the big tube! ”
Kotaro's words are tantamount to pouring cold water on Hojo Shiyasu, the idea of attacking the big cylinder team at night is good, but even if it is attacked, what can it be?
What does the big tube look like, I'm afraid that the ninjas in the wind demon are still seeing it for the first time, and things that are not wooden structures can be cut with knives and burned with fire, how can the big tube be destroyed?
Kotaro's worries are not unreasonable, but Hojo Shiyasu is not discouraged by this, and the corners of his mouth are instead hooked up with a smile:
"Of course I know you can't do anything about destroying the big tube, so ...... The ninja army of the big tube team in this night attack is just a decoy! ”
Kotaro was shocked.
Bait?
Even if it's a bait, I'm afraid that it will have to use no less than a hundred ninja troops...... Just the word "bait" has already announced their fate.
Kotaro's heart contracted tightly at this moment.
The multi-eyed Yuanzhong on the side finally spoke at this moment:
"Wind Demon Kotaro...... You need to personally take the upper shinobi of the Wind Demon to assassinate someone! ”
Kazema Kotaro's head hung low, almost touching the tatami mat between his palms.
"The villain obeys!"
In the middle of the night, Sasa Narimasa was worried that the big team would be raided, so he specially gathered his four ninjas to patrol the artillery camp together. He put the artillery battalion next to Saito Asanobu's barracks, in order to use the power of Asanobu to defend it to the death.
When he arrived at the artillery barracks, Saito Asanobu surrounded the place with a thousand Echigo Ashigaru.
Catching up with Cheng Zheng's slightly surprised look, Saito Asanobu smiled and said:
"The lord was worried that the artillery camp would be raided by the ninja army of the Hojo family, so he sent me and Kanya Keichi to guard it all night. Jingzhi's 1,000-foot light is still on the way. ”
Cheng Zheng nodded, checked in the camp, and found that the artillery of the Li family fleet had piled up all the gunpowder together, and he was angry at that time, so he hurriedly called all the people of the Li family fleet out, separated all the gunpowder and flammable materials, and stored them separately.
On the contrary, the artillerymen who disembarked from Raphael's ship were well trained, but when Cheng Zheng passed by a tent, he heard two men inside making a low mouth......
Frightened, he hurriedly touched the tiger girl's chest and suppressed the shock.
At this time, did the European silver like to stir the base so much?
No wonder Raphael has such prestige in his fleet...... Because Raphael himself is a handsome and extremely good pseudo-girl, ** is blown up, it is naturally easier to raise his hips to welcome the crowd, and get the support of sailors as "the fleet is always accepted".
It didn't take long for the ninjas under Kanzo Kato to come over to report that there was a ninja army in the Wind Demon dispatched.
Surrounded by a pile of ashigaru, Sasa Narumasa triumphantly pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife.
He couldn't help but sigh when he saw the "ninja army" composed of more than a hundred ninjas in the Wind Demon rushing towards the position.
No-Zuo-No-Die,-Why-U-Try?
In addition to the ashigaru with a number of 2,000 people, Sister Jinghu also transferred 4 platoons of the Echigo early strike group, with a total of 120 early strike women!
After the ninja army enters the effective firing range, pop bang!
Then the spearheads lined up in a row, stabbing stinging stinging!
In this way, more than 100 ninjas had already fallen by half before they could get close to the artillery camp, and in the next twenty minutes, they launched wave after wave of decisive charges, and on two occasions they successfully entered the artillery camp and set fire to one or two tents...... One of them was that there was a tent between two men, and then the tent suddenly "exploded~~" and exploded.
The ninja stumbled and ignited the explosives, blowing up the two to death.
Sasa Narumasa was shocked...... Isn't it right to stir the base?
Only the last ninja was standing, and Sasa Chengzheng took an iron cannon and was about to shoot him down, but a bunch of fireworks suddenly ignited at the location of Sister Jinghu's big tent.
There is an enemy attack!
Sasa Naruma reacted immediately, and hit the ninja in the abdomen with a single shot, and then he threw the iron cannon and pulled out the sword.
"Duan Zang, Goemon, immediately take your men down to protect the lord!"
"Hay!"
Ishikawa Goemon's figure faded away like a ghost, but Kato Duzo disappeared out of thin air.
Sasa Seimasa stepped over in two steps, stepping on the ninja's throat with one foot, and the tip of the knife was stuck between the ninja's two rows of teeth, but it was to prevent the other party from biting the poison and committing suicide.
"Say it! What is the purpose of this operation? ”
The ninja's eyes widened and he smiled fiercely:
"As you wish...... Long-tailed Teruma ...... I'm going to die! ”
After he finished speaking, he laughed, which made Sasa Seimasa furious, and he stabbed down, starting from the ninja's upper jaw, and piercing the ninja's brain and skull.
"Asanobu, Jingzhi, the two of you continue to lead troops to guard this place, don't let the ninja army in the Wind Demon seize the opportunity!"
"Hay!"
Despite being colleagues, Saito Asanobu, Kanya Keiji, and Sasa Narumasa were as light as siblings, and even though Narumasa said something like that in an almost commanding tone, it was not insignificant for them.
"Early Strike Group! Stay together! Obey Saito Asanobu's orders! ”
"Hay!"
"I'll go to the lord at once!"
Sazuo Chengzheng stepped on the war horse, walked side by side with Jing Yi Naoto, and ran towards Sister Jinghu's big tent.
