midnight

The wind came back from the sea, with a burst of freshness.

Originally, in this season, being able to blow such a night breeze can still make people feel refreshed.

However, after a series of battles and faux pas during the day, the soldiers of the crusading army did not have the heart to do so.

Especially after they finished dinner, they all sat down on the grass one by one, and their expressions were very numb.

Their minds were exhausted.

It was precisely because of this situation that the Wind Servant and Ishida retreated and set up camp for several miles, and at the same time did not have a plan to attack at night.

After all, the soldiers were too tired.

In such a situation, even if they were allowed to attack at night, it would not be possible to achieve much effect.

And the battle situation during the day was very unfavorable for them when they came, and the things that were originally planned and planned were not successful.

Especially Houtian, he was originally going to attack Zhao Hongyu's artillery team, but he had to stop because of the appearance of 2,000 reinforcements from Zhao Hongyu's side, which led to the overall retreat of the crusading army.

However, for the power of the enemy's artillery, the crusaders really felt it.

If the enemy's artillery is not dealt with, then it will be impossible for them to defeat the enemy if they attack again tomorrow.

Therefore, destroying the enemy's artillery is now the most important thing for the crusading army.

And the only one who can do this kind of thing is a ninja like Goda.

After all, they have a very good set of stealth and concealment.

This is a skill that ordinary soldiers in the crusade army cannot match.

In the 'big tent' set up by the wind servant, Houtian came to everyone at midnight.

Because the battle situation during the day was not smooth, the wind attendant, Ishida Hemichi and the other generals did not have any intention of resting now, and they were still gathered together at this time to discuss the next day's affairs.

Hou Tian took two of his subordinates and met the Wind Servant and Ishida Aido.

For a visit to Goda at midnight. The Wind Squire almost knew what he was going to do.

Still, he asked.

In the face of the wind attendant's inquiry, Houtian had nothing to hide.

"My lord, we can't get close to the enemy during the day, so I'm going to take advantage of this time of the night to take a look. If you have the chance, you might be able to destroy the opponent's artillery. ”

As for Hou Tian's plan, the wind squire didn't want to stop it.

After all, in his heart, he also wanted to destroy the enemy's artillery.

During the day, he really felt the power of artillery. And the damage inflicted on them by artillery also made him feel painful.

If the enemy's artillery is not dealt with, then there is no way for this crusade to continue.

It's not just the wind servant who thinks so, but Ishida Aido and a group of generals, they basically think the same way.

"Then everything is please."

After Ishida Hedao, who was sitting on the main seat, asked his eyes, he bowed slightly to Goda, which was regarded as an endorsement of Goda's plan.

Seeing that Ishida had agreed, Goda retreated with two of his men.

At this time, it was just past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and he needed to start preparing immediately. When it's almost too late, he'll be able to get moving.

Although I didn't systematically learn the kind of knowledge of the later generations, I didn't understand the rules of night raids.

But Goda still knows when the human body is the most sleepy at night.

He's just going to pick that time to sneak in. Only in this way can he achieve unexpected results.

Although Goda thought that it would be easy to infiltrate the military camps of these enemies with his own skills.

But he is a very cautious person, and he wants to be more sure of what he has to do at night.

It's just that he didn't calculate anything, no matter how cautious he was. There were also unexpected surprises that he didn't expect.

That is, the Iga people actually took refuge in Zhao Hongyu, and they were in Zhao Hongyu's camp. A wide net has been opened waiting for him and his people.

Yes, until now, Goda didn't know that Iga-ryu's people were in Zhao Hongyu's camp and had already taken refuge in their service.

However, for Igara-ryu, Hattori Kizo actually has the information about Goda.

This has left the two sides in a situation of unequal information.

What's more, the death of Kogoro and Shinbei and Amber, as well as the four unlucky ghosts who were killed by artillery during the day, made Goda and their losses great.

All of a sudden, there was a strong contrast between the two sides in terms of the allocation of the number of people.

On one side, there are now only three people left.

On the other side, it has a full ten-man combat force.

This alone is already incomparable to Houda.

Coupled with the asymmetry of information, Goda is destined to achieve a tragic end in this war, which is also a doomed thing.

It's just that for all this, Houtian still doesn't know what to do.

If he had known the truth, he would definitely not have stayed here for long.

But in the end, he didn't know all this.

"Damn Kogoro, where did he go with Shinbei and Amber? It's been a day, and even if they don't have a chance to do it, they will come to us. After Hou Tian finished preparing, he thought of Kogoro and them, and couldn't help frowning and whispering angrily to the two companions.

For the current Goda, he very much hopes that Kogoro and Ahuko and Shinbei will come to him.

After all, four of his companions had died during the day, which made him feel a little understaffed.

Moreover, for a whole day, his heart has been beating non-stop since he joined the crusading army, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, there is no reason for this taste.

He always felt that something bad was going to happen.

However, if you ask him why he has such thoughts, it is impossible for Houtian himself to say it.

At the same time, he couldn't tell his two remaining companions about this strange thought, after all, if he said such things to them, it would greatly affect the mentality of his companions.

Therefore, Houda can only be alone with this eccentric. And the feeling of no reason is pressed on the bottom of my heart.

What is the danger?

Probably not.

Could it be Kogoro that something went wrong with them?

No, it definitely won't be like this.

Although Kogoro's character is not very good, his ability is still very strong.

And there are masters like Shinbei by his side, so even if they encounter any trouble, they can get out safely.

Could it be the people of Iga-ryu?

Suddenly, it occurred to Goda that the danger might come from the side of the Iga-ryu people.

However, such thoughts only flashed through Goda's mind and did not stay long.

Because Goda felt that this thing was unlikely to happen.

Based on what he knew about the people of Iga-ryu, if the danger came from Iga-ryu. Then they would have already fought with the Iga people.

Definitely not waiting for now.

The reason is simple, the hatred between Koga-ryu and Iga-ryu is too deep.

Basically, the two sides will fight each other as soon as they meet.

Moreover, those people in Iga-ryu are not good at intrigues.

Besides, it doesn't make sense for Igara-ryu to appear here for no reason, although it was reported that their traces were found here, but it is impossible for these Iga-ryu guys to stay in one place for that long.

For so many years, the shogunate and Koga have been encircling and suppressing them.

So. These people basically stay in one place for a short time, and none of them are very long.

Therefore, Kogoro is unlikely to meet these Iga people.

But since that's the case. Why did Kogoro and Shinbei and Amber go, the three of them didn't come here to fight with themselves?

After thinking about it, Goda finally gave a 'reasonable' explanation himself.

That is, Kogoro has always been unconvinced. He didn't come to join him, thinking that he wanted to find an opportunity for himself to make something big.

When the time comes, there will be credit. I can't do anything with him.

With his own understanding of Kogoro's character, only such an explanation can be explained.

Hou Tian would never have imagined that the corpses of Kogoro and the three of them were already chilling in the depths of the forest-

Dividing Line –

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue to talk about tomorrow's war. I hope that Goda and his men can take out the enemy's artillery, otherwise we will still face those powerful artillery pieces tomorrow. ”

After Goda left, Ishida looked around and proposed to continue the discussion on tomorrow's battle.

Today's daytime battle has given them all a new understanding of the enemy.

The weapons and tactics used by these enemies are something they have never seen or experienced.

It's not enough to say that it opened their eyes or something, but it made them feel very shocked, but it's true.

If nothing else, but the use of the 'iron cannon', that is, the musket, these enemies are even more superb than the three-stage archery skills that their Japanese have mastered.

And when it is used on the battlefield, its power is also reflected.

These weapons, compared to the cold weapons they use, are really much more powerful.

Speaking of the enemy's artillery, it is even more powerful.

"My lord, we should organize some men to cut some bamboo from the nearby bamboo forest at night and use it to build some bows and arrows. Everyone has seen the battle during the day today, because of the mistake of our former commander Takahashi, there are no archers in the army, and if we had archers, then the war would not necessarily be so erosive. ”

Ishida Aido's subordinate generals, Tanaka was the first to speak up and put forward his own suggestions.

As soon as his suggestion was put forward, it was recognized by many people.

Yes, it is an indisputable fact that there is a lack of bows and arrows in the crusading army, and the main reason for the lack of archers is because once the barrel is full of blood holes, Takahashi who is already dead can no longer die. (To be continued......)
