Hattori Kizo saw through Zhao Hongyu's purpose for these Osaka captives, but it was not surprising at all.

As long as you are a person with a little brain, you can know what Zhao Hongyu did for Lu.

What's more, Hattori Uizo is still the same existence as the 'military division' in Iga-ryu.

Don't convince the ministry to hide, Zhao Hongyu's plan is clear even to Yuji Riverside and Iguchi Zazo.

"So what are you going to do with the homes and ninjas that sneak in?"

Zhao Hongyu asked curiously.

Hattori Kizo replied, "Your Highness, those Osaka captives have no loyalty or disloyalty to us at all. Let's take advantage of those Koga ninjas and pick out the ones who aren't too determined. That's why I didn't take drastic measures against those Koga ninjas in the first place, and they have been constantly encouraging some captives to stir up trouble, and we are completely in control of all of this. ”

As soon as Zhao Hongyu heard this, he knew that Hattori had the intention to hide the ghost.

Dare, he is going to use this opportunity to clean up the unstable dangerous elements among the captives.

Regarding Hattori's arrangement, Zhao Hongyu would not object, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

After all, in the future, these captives will be driven to the battlefield and let them take the lead.

If these guys are instigated by someone with a heart, it will be a bit troublesome to come to the battlefield.

Therefore, it is also beneficial for him to take this opportunity now to eliminate those restless guys who are hidden.

"I see, I see."

Zhao Hongyu nodded.

"By the way, those Koga ninjas aren't one of the ten, are they?"

Zhao Hongyu suddenly thought of this question, and suddenly his little heart couldn't help but mention it.

Of course, Fugui Ghost Hiding knew what Zhao Hongyu was worried about, so he shook his head with a smile.

"It's just some ninja soldiers, we can easily deal with it. It is we who can control the situation. That's why we keep letting them go like this. Hattori's words made Zhao Hongyu completely relieved.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much about this, I'm going to deal with those guys today. Because considering that we are about to face war, it is necessary to eliminate these people. ”

For these matters, Zhao Hongyu gave full authority to the Iga Ten to deal with.

He's not going to worry about it.

Besides, it's useless for him to worry about it.

For ninjas, Zhao Hongyu really has nothing to do.

In this way, after Zhao Hongyu sent away those merchants of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately began to rectify those Osaka prisoners.

That night, the Koga ninja soldiers were hidden among the captives. One by one, they were found and executed.

They don't even have a chance to resist.

In front of the Iga Ten, it would be useless for them to resist even if they resisted, not to mention that the Ten would not even give them a chance to resist.

After dealing with the Koga ninja who hid in the captives and instigated the captives, the Osaka captives who were instigated by them during this time were also found one by one.

The fate of these guys didn't have to be much better than that of the Koga ninjas, who had their heads cut off as a warning to the remaining captives.

Subsequently, Yuji Kawabe announced. Let the Iga ninja carry a large number of printed leaflets and spread them in Edo and other places.

This made the remaining Osaka captives cut off their last thoughts.

Yes, those that spread as long as they spread out. There is no way back for them.

Originally, these people thought that these foreigners were just to scare them, and they would not distribute these leaflets.

That's why some of them have some strange thoughts.

But now that they see it, these foreigners are not just talking.

Killing in the prisoner camp that night. It really made those Osaka soldiers honest.

At the same time, after the ninja left with those leaflets, these Osaka captives were also dead one by one, ready to follow Zhao Hongyu and them all the way to the dark.

See the transformation of the captives in Osaka. Iguchi Shuzo, who had been worried, and Yuji Riverbe were all relieved.

Early the next morning, the ninja who went out to inquire about the military came back with a bad news.

The crusading army has already arrived at 'Toyonaka', which is still half a day away from them, which means that in half a day, they will start a war with the crusading army.

Based on such intelligence information, Zhao Hongyu immediately gathered everyone and began to discuss the situation they were facing now.

First of all, the warships under Zhao Hongyu's command had already left Osaka to meet the sailors sent by the shogunate. Therefore, they have no way to get assistance from the fleet now, and they must really fight against the Tao Fa army.

At the same time, the troops that Zhao Hongyu has around him now still have a great disadvantage for the crusading army.

Five hundred Praetorian Guards, three hundred clothed cavalry, plus Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar, a former pirate group of more than 100 people, this is less than a thousand troops.

Even those Osaka captives can go to war, but their combat effectiveness is very worrying.

But even so, with the Osaka captive soldiers, the number of troops at Zhao Hongyu's disposal was only 13,400 people.

Faced with the number of 9,600 crusading troops, Zhao Hongyu's disadvantage was obvious.

However, fortunately, Zhao Hongyu unloaded thirty-six 24-pounder guns from the battleship, and with the power of the guns, Zhao Hongyu could not say that he would be defeated.

People in this era don't know, but Zhao Hongyu can really understand the power of artillery salvos.

Don't look at the small number of soldiers under him, and there are hundreds of them are still very unreliable, and there is no way to talk about loyalty. But Zhao Hongyu has information that with these thirty-six artillery, he can completely make those crusading troops suffer a big loss.

And this morning he summoned a meeting of the left and right, the purpose of which was to see what everyone thought now.

Let him have a good understanding of what everyone is thinking now.

Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar and the temporary leader of the genetic people, as well as the three of Jingkou Zao and Yuji River, were sitting in Zhao Hongyu's lower left hand position.

Kayo Tokugawa, Chizuru Hattori, and the Iga Ten sat on the right hand of Zhao Hongyu.

From this point, it can be seen that the two sides are clearly distinguished.

"I think everyone is very clear about the current situation." , Zhao Hongyu spoke first. "Toyonaka is only half a day's journey from our camp at most, so we'll have to face the crusaders at noon."

Zhao Hongyu said as he slowly swept his gaze over everyone's faces. Watching their reactions.

Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar had very sad expressions on their faces, and they seemed to be worried about themselves in a disadvantaged position in terms of troops.

The Genetic Commander still has a straight face, and you can't tell anything from his face at all.

For this guy, Zhao Hongyu didn't pay attention to it at all.

He still doesn't know what kind of virtue a genetic person is.

Therefore, his eyes did not pay attention to this genetic human leader at all.

Although Iguchi Zazo pretended to be very indifferent, his trembling arm was telling Zhao Hongyu that he was really scared at this moment.

On the contrary, Yuji Kawabe's reaction was very different from that of Iguchi Shuzo, and he sat there on his knees with a blank look of concern about the upcoming war.

The reaction to Yuji Riverside made Zhao Hongyu curious.

Could it be that this guy is really not afraid?

Or does this guy have other plans?

And Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Chizuru's reaction was very unified. They all looked serious and serious about preparing for the 'death'.

It can be seen that Tokugawa Kayo and the others are not optimistic that their people can defeat the crusading army, but since they have taken refuge in Zhao Hongyu, then they need to fight hard with the crusading army.

"The other party doesn't know who the general of the road is, but judging from their march, I think their general hopes to arrive here at noon, and then quickly fight with us and kill us."

After Zhao Hongyu saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, he had a number in his heart, and then said his judgment on the crusading army.

"What do you guys think about that?"

After all that is said. Zhao Hongyu asked.

After listening to the ninja's information, everyone was very confident about what would happen next.

What else can be said about this?

It's nothing more than a desperate fight with the crusading army.

If you defeat the crusading army, everyone has a way to live, and if you fail, then you will die.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu finished asking. No one spoke for a while.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.

This made Zhao Hongyu very helpless.

"Your Highness, can we take Osaka Castle? And then rely on Osaka Castle to fight against the crusading army? ”

Just when Zhao Hongyu wanted to say that he had thirty-six artillery pieces. Wang Fuzi was the first to speak and express his thoughts.

In Wang Fuzi's opinion, it is very unreliable to rely on them to fight in the field with the crusading army.

So. If they want to survive, then leave this place and take Osaka Castle first. Then rely on the defenses of Osaka Castle to fight against the crusading army.

It's just that everyone is not optimistic about Wang Fuzi's proposal.

After all, now that they are facing the pressure of the crusading army, it is very unrealistic to think about taking Osaka Castle at this time.

Besides, they don't have a lot of time left.

The crusading army was only half a day's journey away from them, which meant that they had to take Osaka Castle in half a day.

If Osaka Castle cannot be captured in half a day, then they will have to face the trouble of being attacked from both sides.

"This method will not work, we don't have much time, and it is unrealistic to capture Osaka Castle in half a day. If we take Osaka Castle in half a day, we'll be in trouble. ”

It was Hattori Kizo, one of the ten, who spoke.

Wang Fuzi also knew that his proposal was very unreliable, but he really couldn't think of any good way to come up with anything else.

As soon as Hattori Eizo's words fell, Yuji Yuji, who had been there by the river all the time, spoke.

"In fact, our situation is not so unfavorable, in fact, everyone is too worried."

Yuji Kawabe said this, which attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao Hongyu looked at Yuji Riverside thoughtfully, but he felt that Yuji Riverside was not untargeted.

After all, through his observation just now, this Yuji Riverside has always been very calm.

Maybe, this guy really has a way?

I just don't know what his method is.

He had long heard that Yuji Riverbe was very smart, so he also wanted to see how smart this Yuji Riverside was.

Yuji Kawabe felt that everyone's eyes were on him, and he didn't have much fluctuation, just smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, have you gotten thirty-six guns from the battleship?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and everyone didn't know what Yuji was doing when he asked this.

Could it be that the defeat of the crusaders has anything to do with these artillery?

Only Zhao Hongyu had a knowing smile on his face when Yuji asked him by the river.

He felt that this Yuji Riverside might have underestimated him when he said he was very smart.

Oh no, this guy is really a big talent.

Then, Zhao Hongyu nodded.

After seeing Zhao Hongyu admit this, the smile on Yuji Kawabe's face became even stronger.

"The only way we can defeat the crusading army is these thirty-six guns."

Yuji Riverbe said categorically.

Ooh!

How is this possible?

Artillery that can defeat a crusading army of almost 10,000 men?

It's not a joke, is it?

Except for Zhao Hongyu and the temporary commander of the gene man, everyone looked at Yuji Riverside in amazement.

There was an indescribable strangeness in their eyes, especially the one who was sitting closest to Yuji Riverside and was right next to him.

Looking at the look in the eyes of the well-shaped zozo is like looking at an 'alien'.

Of course, the premise is that Iguchi Shuzo knows what an alien is.

Obviously, the wellhead will definitely not know this.

But that doesn't stop Iguchi from looking at Yuji Riverside with what kind of strange eyes he will use.

"Riverside-kun, what do you mean by that? Could it be that those artillery can defeat the crusaders? The first person who couldn't help but ask questions was Tokugawa Kayo.

She is now Zhao Hongyu's general and the general of the ninja army under Zhao Hongyu, so she can attend this important military meeting.

After Tokugawa Kayo asked this question, Hattori Chizuru and the others all looked at Yuji Kawabe with sparkling eyes, and then waited for his answer.

Yuji Riverbe looked at Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu smiled and encouraged him, which gave Yuji Kawabe a lot of confidence in his heart.

In fact, Zhao Hongyu also wants to hear what Yuji Riverside will say. (To be continued......)
