The Iga Shinobu who had previously assassinated Saburo Toyoya and the generals around him was a group. But there is another group of Iga ninjas who are hiding in the chaotic defenders of Shira Castle, anyway, these defenders of Shira Castle are extremely chaotic now, and it is impossible to find anything wrong at all.

And these hidden Iga ninja people are in order to incite the soldiers at the bottom at the right time.

In addition to being proficient in assassination and stealth, the ninjas of this era also need to incite enemy soldiers at the right time and create chaos among enemy troops.

It can be said that if it can be used properly, then it is still very beneficial to have a ninja army.

According to Zhao Hongyu's opinion, strictly speaking, the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom can basically be regarded as the existence of special forces in this era.

He still has great expectations for the Iga ninja.

Fortunately, the Iga ninja did not disappoint him, and he completed his entrustment very well.

At that time, after the Battle of Maitreyahara, he and Tokugawa Kayo divided their forces.

The intact Iga ninja was split in two, one of which followed Tokugawa Yoshiyo to the Miyazaki domain, and the remaining half was given to Hattori Chizuru to follow Zhao Hongyu to begin the attack on the Satsuma Domain.

And Hattori Chizuru is obviously that she has been sent to Zhao Hongyu's side by Hattori Hide, and she will definitely become Zhao Hongyu's woman in the future.

At the same time, in order to ensure Hattori Chizuru's status, then she must have some capable people around her. And the configuration of these manpower, is there anything comparable to the Iga ninjas?

It's just that Chizuru Hattori didn't understand his uncle's idea.

The girl now thinks that she can be a good guard.

After all, she wasn't Tokugawa Yoshiyo, and she didn't have any desire to revive the family.

As for Zhao Hongyu, he doesn't have any thoughts about this.

He now has two women by his side. This seemed to him to be enough.

Women, what are you doing so much?

If there are too many women, he doesn't have to do anything else every day, and he can't be busy just accompanying these women.

Therefore, since Zhao Hongyu had Emma and Sarah, he basically didn't have the mind to find a woman anymore.

Although neither Hattori Chizuru nor Zhao Hongyu had any intention of this, or that neither of them thought so.

However, that doesn't prevent others from having plans to do so.

It seems that these Iga ninjas who followed Hattori Chizuru already regarded Zhao Hongyu as their uncle, and they themselves were Hattori Chizuru's dowry attendants.

Now here in Shira Castle. They can finally show their skills, where is there no hard work.

After all, this is a matter of showing face to my own young lady.

Therefore, in order to avoid the failure of this mission, these Iga ninjas can be said to have tried their best and tried their best one by one.

It is precisely because of their good performance that things are going very smoothly here in Shiliang City.

At this moment, after assassination and conscious incitement, the defenders in Shiliang Castle were in a state of flux. At the same time, they are facing the pressure of attacking like a wolf. There is no longer the courage to continue fighting.

Although there are some people who still want to continue to resist, the guy who came forward and said that he will continue to resist has become the best example for the best people.

His fate has severely shocked a group of people with the same thoughts.

And the Iga ninja who hides his identity. After killing the guy who supported the resistance to the end, it completely ignited the desire of the soldiers at the bottom not to continue fighting.

yes, what's so scary now.

The castle guard and so many generals have died, so what can they do left?

Most of the soldiers. They are not willing to continue fighting. In such a situation, if they still want to continue fighting, then it will inevitably annoy these low-level soldiers.

The fate of the head of the Ashigaru group just now. Everybody's looking at it.

Although usually these low-level soldiers are docile like a lamb, you can bully him whatever you want.

But when these people are united and dare to wield a sword at you. Then some of their wishes, you have to seriously consider and measure.

Because once you have to act like you normally do, you will be powerful on their heads, and use a little bit of power to deter the other party from agreeing with your views and decisions, and if you don't do it well, it will backfire and lose your own life.

Isn't that the poor head of the Ashigaru group such an end?

There were quite a few people in the crowd who knew the unlucky guy.

However, at such a time when his life is at stake, he can't take care of his usual friendships.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with surrendering.

After surrendering, they will never have to face those wolf-like enemies again, will they?

When the time comes, everyone can go home and reunite with their families.

Besides, even if they continue to resist, what good can they gain other than adding unnecessary casualties?

It doesn't do you any good at all.

Since this is the case, there is no reason for me to continue to fight the enemy.

Rumble!

Because of the confusion of the fourth-layer defenders, they were given a chance to Roderni, who had already occupied the third-layer defensive circle, as well as the Praetorian Guard Corps under Zhao Hongyu.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the defenders of the fourth layer, they quickly destroyed the pass from the third layer to the fourth layer, opening the way to the fourth layer.

At the moment when the pass was destroyed, Rodelni led the Portuguese mercenaries under his command to rush up-

Dividing Line –

"Your Highness, the Iga ninja have successfully assassinated the defenders of Shira Castle, and now the defenders of Shira Castle have fallen into a state of leaderlessness. At the same time, the Iga ninja have already instigated the defenders to surrender, and now if we send an envoy to contact them at the right time, I think it will definitely be a good gain. ”

The Iga people, who have successfully completed their purpose, have returned to Hattori Chizuru one after another.

When Hattori Chizuru got the report of his subordinates, he immediately made a confession to Zhao Hongyu.

"Ha Luha, Iga-zhong is doing a very good job. It seems that you still have a lot of means, and with your refuge in me, it's really like a tiger with wings. ”

Zhao Hongyu was in a good mood, especially after listening to Hattori's report.

"Your Highness. What should we do next? Now that the enemy's morale is unstable, if we continue to fight them, it will be counterproductive. ”

Chizuru Hattori reminded.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, of course he knew the current situation.

"Order Roderny to halt their attack, and at the same time keep the Praetorian Guard in place, and send messengers to make contact with the defenders. Tell them that as long as they surrender, then I promise they will not die. ”

Yes, to ensure that these defenders do not die, this is already the biggest concession that Zhao Hongyu can make.

He wasn't like Yuji Kawabe, if the attacker of Shira Castle was Yuji Kawabe. Then Yuji Kawabe will not accept surrender after the other side resists.

Otherwise, Yuji Kawabe would not have taken advantage of the attack on southern Miyazaki to create a great reputation.

So much so that many years later, the people of the southern Miyazaki Domain, when they used the name of Yuji Kawabe as a tool to scare children when they used it at home to teach disobedient children.

Therefore, the defenders of Shiliang City were still very lucky to meet Zhao Hongyu to some extent.

At least, Zhao Hongyu will not kill indiscriminately.

Of course. He will do the same when necessary.

But now he won't at least do it, will he?

For Shiliang City, Zhao Hongyu is of course bound to win.

After all. Shiliang Castle is an important town leading to the hinterland of the Satsuma Domain, and if Zhao Hongyu wants to enter the Satsuma Domain, he must take Shiliang Castle and control the city in his own hands.

As long as Shiliang Castle is captured, then it will be a flat river ahead.

When the time comes. The Satsuma clan commander also had little power to stop him and his army.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu was not willing to spend too much time on Shiliang City's side. After all, the entire Satsuma Domain is so big, he needs to conquer it in a short time, doesn't he?

Therefore, it is possible to pay a small price and avoid getting into a long battle. It was the best for Zhao Hongyu, and it was also a path he chose to go back.

Now, the whole opportunity has arisen.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu would not object to accepting the surrender of the defenders of Shiliang City.

"It seems that this oriental castle in front of you has almost been captured by us, right?"

Sara, who had heard the conversation between Hattori Chizuru and Zhao Hongyu on the side, leaned over and asked at the whole time.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, the defenders of Shiliang City already have the intention of surrendering." Then there is no need to continue fighting, I will accept their surrender, and as the victor I will bypass their lives. But the wealth in Shira Castle belongs to me. ”

"Haluha, plunder the wealth of the enemy and their women, my man is a warrior. That's how it should be for losers, and it seems right that I chose you as my husband. ”

Emma also rode over at this time, and she shouted loudly with great joy.

After listening to the words of the little girl Emma, several people reacted differently.

As an Oriental, Chizuru Hattori, who has a middle-of-the-road mindset, is not used to it.

In her opinion, even those who were defeated should be treated with due respect.

After all, these enemies have also proved their bravery.

But Emma is the wife of the lord after all, and she can only be silent as a subordinate.

And Sarah's thinking is that of Europeans, and that of European aristocracy.

This kind of thinking is somewhat the same as Hattori Chizuru, but it is also a little different.

In the same way, she didn't think that she would do this to the vanquished, after all, the other side was already defeated, didn't she?

Therefore, it is still necessary to give respect.

You know, on the battlefields of the Europeans, rules like this are actually very popular.

The difference between Sara and Hattori Chizuru is that Sara thinks it's okay to defeat the other party for money. After all, in Europe, it is possible to do this.

However, she also knows that this is the East, and there is no market for her European thinking and concepts, and she doesn't know what her little husband will think.

Therefore, she could only choose to be silent very wisely and see what her little husband had to say to his wife.

Zhao Hongyu didn't think about it so much, he just thought that Emma spoke very straight and said whatever she wanted in her heart.

As far as he is concerned, he still understands Emma.

Although Emma says so, it doesn't mean she's a cruel girl.

After all, Emma is an Indian, and her mind is definitely an Indian mindset. This will certainly be different from the 'mainstream' concept in the East and the West.

As an Indian, the tribal wars that Emma had seen and heard of in the past had all been about killing all the male members of the opposing side or capturing them as slaves, and the women capturing the people of the victorious tribe.

Therefore, in Emma's conception, it is simple to win and lose.

That is, the winner has the right to plunder everything from the loser, and the loser has no say in it, because they can't even save their own lives.

Of course, in the current war against Shira Castle, the victorious side belongs to her husband.

Therefore, they are now the winners.

On the other hand, if it was her husband who was defeated, then Emma, as a wife, would definitely take out a knife and kill herself.

After all, she is not an ordinary woman, she is the wife of the crown prince of an empire.

Therefore, she can't be like an ordinary woman, caught and humiliated by the enemy in order to survive.

At this point, when she married Zhao Hongyu, her father and mother also specially explained her about this matter.

These are the words that she has never said to Zhao Hongyu.

At the same time, there is no chance to teach Sarah, the little wife in her eyes.

"Hey, what kind of expressions are you all on, am I wrong with what I said?" Seeing the faces of Sara and Hattori Chizuru, as if they disagreed with what they said, Emma pouted and looked at the two of them.

"The master mother is too worried, and the subordinates are afraid."

The first to react was Chizuru Hattori, who saw that Emma was a little angry, so she quickly confessed.

Sara, who is innocent Emma, doesn't know much about Eastern culture, doesn't hear anything, but the subtext of Hattori Chizuru didn't hide it from Zhao Hongyu.

Yo, Hattori Chizuru, this girl has a character.

Although she was ostensibly accusing of sin, there was no admission in her words that she agreed with Emma's words.

Come to think of it, Hattori Chizuru really doesn't agree with what Emma said.

Unlike Hattori Chizuru, Sara is older than Emma, but her identity is a little wife. So when facing Emma, the eldest wife, she always involuntarily shorter.

So, Sara looked at Emma with a smile on her face and said, "Yes, yes, you're right." We are the winners, and there is nothing to pity for the losers. Their wives and children and their wealth belong to us, and now our husbands have left their lives behind, which is very gracious. ”

With Sarah's words, Emma became happy.

The little girl, who doesn't have so many scheming, gets angry as fast as it comes, but it goes too.

Zhao Hongyu couldn't laugh or cry at this.

"Wait a minute, I think the result will be in a minute, and someone has been sent to inform them of Rodelny. If you want to enter Shiliang Castle, the Praetorian Guard will also send an envoy to contact the other party. ”

Zhao Hongyu opened his mouth and diverted the attention of the three women, so that they would no longer be entangled in that sentence. (To be continued......)
