Takeuchi couldn't let Ito leave, after all, he had to ask for more news from Ito.

And Takeuchi can also see that since Ishida Aido and these people came back, their eyes are not very friendly when they look at him, which makes him feel a little uneasy.

So he had to figure out what the hell was going on.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be very down-to-earth.

However, Ito does have a task on his side now, and he can't force him himself.

However, let him go away for a while, who can he ask about these questions?

Therefore, Takeuchi gritted his teeth and said to Ito: "It won't take long, you can leave this task to my subordinates to complete for you, and if you answer my question, how about writing off the money you owe me?" ”

Faced with the current situation, Takeuchi, the iron rooster, also knew that he should pull out a hair.

Sure enough, when Ito heard that he didn't have to pay the debt, his face immediately changed.

You know, Ito owes Takeuchi a lot of money.

The interest alone made Ito miserable every month.

If the arrears are written off, it can be said that it will be a good thing for Ito to save his life.

"Really!"

Ito asked.

Takeuchi nodded, his expression extremely serious: "Really! If you can tell me more about it, then the money you owe me will be forgiven. ”

Takeuchi is really bleeding this time.

With Takeuchi's promise, Ito nodded and agreed immediately.

Afterwards, Takeuchi found a few of his followers and asked Ito to explain a few words to them, and then those few simply left in a hurry to complete his task for Ito.

Ito, on the other hand, stayed behind and explained to Takeuchi the things he was very puzzled about.

"Lord Ishida attacked with five thousand troops. How did you come to be defeated? Are the enemies outnumbered, or are they very powerful? ”

After everything was arranged, Takeuchi asked.

In fact, in his heart, he was full of doubts about many things. However, he also knew that he needed to ask a little bit to do it, and if he asked too many questions at once, Ito couldn't answer.

It's just a vulgar martial artist, and he doesn't usually pinch his eyelids, but now he has to put down his body to please him a little.

Damn it. When he gets what he wants, he will not be happy after solving this crisis.

Takeuchi has already made up his mind, as long as he can escape this catastrophe, then he will definitely not let go of this guy.

It's just a little flag warrior, Lao Tzu still pushes back when he asks you, and he has to make some promises to cooperate, which is simply intolerable.

What's more, the money owed doesn't have to be repaid.

In fact, Takeuchi's heart was dripping with blood.

The nickname of the iron rooster, there is a reason for that.

It's just in this situation at the moment. Takeuchi had to make that promise.

But after this incident!

Hmph, it's a lot of means to clean up Ito.

Ito didn't think about it so much, he didn't know how many bends there were in the heart of Takeuchi, who had a pleasant face in front of him.

Now Ito. I'm still excited.

Ha Luha, you don't have to pay back the arrears, and your life will become much more comfortable in the future.

Ito, who was in a good mood, then began to answer Takeuchi's questions.

"Ishida-sama did take five thousand of us to attack, yes. And our army is five times more numerous, but in such a situation we are still defeated, I have to say that the enemy is still very strong. ”

Forthwith. Without waiting for Takeuchi to continue to ask, Ito described all the situations he saw in detail to Takeuchi.

"The enemy seldom uses swords as weapons, they all use an iron cannon that they have never seen before, this kind of iron cannon shoots quickly, and they use a tactic that can make the iron cannon more powerful, surpassing the original three-stage firing and five-stage firing against us......"

With Ito's narration, Takeuchi has a more intuitive understanding of the midnight battle.

The military strength of those foreigners was very small, not even the number of a thousand people.

However, it was with these soldiers of less than 1,000 men that those foreigners defeated Ishida and others, who were five times their number.

This is not some random boasting, but a real fact.

And the enemy used all iron cannons, as well as very novel tactics.

Their infantry relied on this tactic and iron cannon to defeat Ashigaru and the militia.

The enemy's cavalry was not very numerous, but it was with the help of these cavalry that their infantry achieved the best results.

"The foreign cavalry also used a short-handled iron cannon, but it had a short barrel and a trumpet-shaped cannon, which I had never seen before."

When he saw the scene of those cavalry attacking at that time, Ito's face was full of embarrassment.

"And when that kind of short-handled iron cannon is fired, I can feel as if he has a wide coverage, basically a single shot can hit a large number of people, and it is under such weapons that we become very lore-losers."

Ito said these things with his own eyes.

Takeuchi clicked his mouth and didn't make a sound,

Ito said these things, he had some places that were difficult to understand.

After all, he is not a person who is very interested in military affairs.

"That's how you failed, didn't you?"

After a long while, Takeuchi opened his mouth to ask a question that was not nutritious.

Ito nodded: "Yes, Ashigaru was defeated, the cavalry was annihilated, the militia was beaten and fled in all directions, and after the last Ishida-sama, we were left with the flag warriors." But on the other hand, those foreigners still have a full cavalry and infantry, and we will definitely not be opponents. ”

"How much the enemy has lost."

Takeuchi then asked.

In Takeuchi's opinion, since the other party defeated Ishida Aido and them with inferior forces, I don't think the other party will be much better.

The army of 5,000 people from Ishida Aido attacked, and at the end of the day, only more than 400 banners followed him back to Osaka Castle, so where did the remaining 4,000 people go.

There's no need to ask.

Even Ishida Aido has lost so many people, so I don't think those foreigners will be much better.

Pity. To Takeuchi's surprise, Ito's face became very ugly when he asked this.

"What's wrong!"

Takeuchi's heart beat twice faster.

Then, Ito replied after a pause: "You may not believe it, but none of those foreigners were damaged in battle, and the losses in the midnight battle were all our Osaka soldiers." ”

Hiss!

Takeuchi gasped, then raised his hand and pinched himself.

Is it my own dream, or is Ito talking nonsense?

5,000 against less than 1,000, and only a few hundred of the 5,000 were killed, but none of the less than 1,000 people were killed in battle, which sounds like a fantasy.

Even the Arabian Nights is not so magical.

Takeuchi really can't believe that this is the truth.

Ito noticed that Takeuchi was a little unconvinced. He looked at Takeuchi seriously and said: "What I said is the truth, if you don't believe me, I can't do anything, but we have seen these flags, you can also confirm from others whether what I said is right or not." ”

Ahem!

Takeuchi came back to his senses at Ito's words and coughed violently.

Actually, he doesn't care about these things, he just needs to know about the battle.

"According to what you say, those foreigners have won, and Ishida-sama's side has been defeated."

Takeuchi asked another nonsense.

Ito rolled his eyes. Xindao: Isn't this nonsense, I've said so much, can't I hear it?

"Yes, we were defeated. In order to prevent those foreigners from taking advantage of the situation to attack Osaka Castle. We must step up our guard now. ”

Although he complained in his heart, Ito still replied respectfully on the surface.

The new iron cannon and the new tactics have opened the eyes of the Japanese people.

And less than a thousand against five thousand. It is enough to make the Japanese blind in their eyes.

With their limited intelligence, it is impossible to figure this out.

However, even Takeuchi, who is as stupid as a pig, understands. Now things have gotten bigger.

"I ask you, did you hear anything on the way back?"

Takeuchi Zhilu said, this matter can't be hidden.

If Ishida can defeat those foreigners, he will be able to hide his own affairs.

But if even Ishida Aido is defeated, then the trouble he provoked because of himself will definitely not be able to hide it.

When the shogunate investigates it, the instigator of this incident will definitely be pushed out.

Damn stupid Ishida Aido, I really don't know how he is a lord.

With an army of 5,000 people to fight against those foreigners, he can still be defeated and return.

If you win, won't you have to worry so much?

Well, now, the defeat of Ishida Aido will make this matter even bigger, and even the shogunate will be involved.

When the shogunate asks about it, can he still run away?

No way!

You must not sit still, you must find a way to protect yourself.

However, the cause and root of this matter are in oneself.

This is something he can't shirk.

So, what can you do to protect yourself?

After thinking about it, Takeuchi felt that he still had to find his daughter, and only his daughter could help him.

I have to say that Takeuchi's hunch is very sensitive, although Ito is still hesitating whether to tell him the words he heard on the road, Takeuchi has already guessed the fact that he is going to be pushed out. (To be continued......)
