- Hattori Kizo saw through Zhao Hongyu's purpose for these Osaka captured soldiers. In fact, this is not surprising at all.
Anyone with a little bit of brains can understand why Zhao Hongyu did this.
What¡¯s more, Hattori Onizou is still a ¡®strategist¡¯ in Iga-ryu.
"Don't convince the ghosts, Zhao Hongyu's plan is clear to even Yuji Kawabe and Zozo Iguchi.
"Then how do you plan to make use of those families and ninjas who have sneaked in?"
Zhao Hongyu asked curiously.
Hattori Kizo replied: "Your Highness, those Osaka prisoners are not loyal or disloyal to us at all. We can also use those Koga ninjas to select those who are not so determined. This is why I have no reason to take drastic measures against those Koga ninjas in the first place, and during this period of time they have been constantly inciting some prisoners to make trouble, and we are fully in control of all this."
As soon as Zhao Hongyu heard this, he knew Hattori Kizo¡¯s plan.
Dare to love, he is going to use this opportunity to clean up those dangerous elements that are not very stable in the captives.
Zhao Hongyu would not object to Hattori Onizou¡¯s arrangement, nor did he think there was anything wrong with it.
After all, these prisoners will be driven onto the battlefield in the future, letting them lead the charge.
¡°It would be a bit troublesome if these guys, instigated by thoughtful people, defected before the battle.
Therefore, it is also beneficial to him to take this opportunity to eliminate all those restless guys who are hiding.
"That's it, I understand."
Zhao Hongyu nodded.
"By the way, those Koga ninjas are not one of the ten, are they?"
Zhao Hongyu suddenly thought of this problem, and his little heart couldn't help but beat up.
Of course Fugui Guizang knew what Zhao Hongyu was worried about, so he smiled and shook his head.
"They are just some ninja soldiers, we can easily deal with them. It is precisely because we can control the situation that we keep letting them go like this." Hattori Onizou's words made Zhao Hongyu completely relieved.
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much about this. I plan to deal with those guys today. Considering that we are about to face a war, it is necessary to eliminate these people."
For these matters, Zhao Hongyu gave full authority to the ten people of Iga to handle.
He won't worry anymore.
¡°Besides, it¡¯s useless for him to worry.
" Zhao Hongyu really has no choice against ninjas.
In this way, after Zhao Hongyu sent away the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately began to rectify the Osaka captive soldiers.
That night, the Koga ninja soldiers hidden among the captured soldiers were found out one by one and executed among them.
They don¡¯t even have a chance to resist.
In front of the ten people in Iga, even if they resist, it is useless, not to mention that the ten people will not even give them a chance to resist.
After solving the Koga ninja soldiers who were hiding among the prisoners and inciting the prisoners, the Osaka prisoners who were instigated by them during this period were also found one by one.
The fate of these guys was not much better than that of the Koga ninja soldiers. Their heads were chopped off as a warning to the remaining captive soldiers.
¡°Subsequently, Kawabe Yujichu announced that he would ask Iga ninjas to carry large quantities of printed leaflets and distribute them in Edo and other places.
This allowed the remaining Osaka prisoners to give up their last thoughts.
Yes, once the news spreads, they will have no way out.
Originally, these people thought that these foreigners were just trying to scare them and would not distribute these leaflets.
Therefore, some of them had some strange thoughts.
But now they saw that these foreigners were not joking.
The killings in the prisoner camp that night really calmed down the Osaka soldiers.
At the same time, after the ninjas left with those leaflets, the Osaka prisoners all gave up one by one and prepared to follow Zhao Hongyu and the others into darkness.
Seeing the transformation of the prisoners in Osaka, Iguchi Zozo and Kawabe Yuuji, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief.
Early the next morning, I went out to explore the military affairs.Another bad news came back from the ninja.
The crusade army has arrived at Fengzhong, which is still half a day away from them, which means that in just half a day, they will start a war with the crusade army.
Based on this intelligence information, Zhao Hongyu immediately summoned everyone and started a discussion on the situation they were facing now.
First of all, the warships under Zhao Hongyu have left Osaka to fight the navy sent by the shogunate. So now they have no way to get assistance from the fleet and must actually fight Tao Fajun.
At the same time, the troops that Zhao Hongyu now has around him are still at a great disadvantage to the crusade.
500 imperial guards, 300 coated cavalry, plus Mrs. Wang and Liu Dascar, more than 100 former pirates, this is less than a thousand troops.
Even those Osaka prisoners can go to the battlefield, but their combat effectiveness is very worrying.
But even so, with the addition of Osaka's captive soldiers, the number of troops at Zhao Hongyu's disposal was only 1,300 or 400.
Facing the 9,600-strong crusade, Zhao Hongyu's disadvantage was obvious.
However, fortunately, Zhao Hongyu unloaded thirty-six 24-pound artillery pieces from the battleship. With the power of the artillery, Zhao Hongyu would not say that he would be defeated.
People of this era don¡¯t know clearly, but Zhao Hongyu truly understands the power of artillery salvos.
Although the number of soldiers under his command is very small, and there are hundreds of them, they are very unreliable. Loyalty is out of the question. But Zhao Hongyu has information. With these thirty-six artillery pieces, he can make the crusade army suffer heavy losses.
And this morning he summoned people around him for a meeting, the purpose of which was to see what everyone¡¯s opinions are now.
It might as well let him understand what everyone is thinking now.
Mrs. Wang, Liu Dashen, the temporary commander of Gene Man, Iguchi Zozo and Kawabe Yuuji are sitting on the lower left hand of Zhao Hongyu.
Tokugawa Kayo, Hattori Chizuru and the Iga Ten people are sitting on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s lower right hand.
It can be seen from this point that the two sides are clearly divided.
"I think everyone is very clear about the current situation." Zhao Hongyu said first. "Fengzhong is only half a day's journey from our camp at most, so we will face the expeditionary army at noon."
As Zhao Hongyu spoke, he slowly swept his eyes across everyone's faces, observing their reactions.
The expressions on the faces of Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashang looked very sad, and they seemed to be worried about themselves being at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.
The genetic man leader still has a straight face, and you can't tell anything from his face.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t pay attention to this guy at all.
Doesn¡¯t he still know what kind of virtue a genetic person is?
Therefore, his eyes did not pay attention to this gene leader at all.
Although Iguchi Zozo pretended to be very indifferent, his trembling arms told Zhao Hongyu that he was really scared at this moment.
On the contrary, Yuji Kawabe¡¯s reaction was very different from that of Iguchi Zozo. He sat there kneeling down solemnly, with a look on his face that showed no concern for the upcoming war.
Zhao Hongyu was very curious about Yuji Kawabe's reaction.
Is it possible that this guy is really not afraid?
Or does this guy have other plans?
"The reactions of Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Chizuru were very unified. They all looked serious and prepared to "fight to the death".
It can be seen that Tokugawa Kayo and the others are not optimistic that they can defeat the expeditionary army, but since they have surrendered to Zhao Hongyu, they need to fight against the expeditionary army.
"The other party doesn't know who their general is, but judging from their march, I think their general hopes to arrive here at noon, and then quickly fight us and kill us."
After Zhao Hongyu saw everyone's reactions, he had an idea in his mind, and then expressed his judgment on the crusade.
"What do you think about this?"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Hongyu asked.
After everyone listened to the information from the ninja, everyone was very aware of what would happen next.
What else can you think of this?
It¡¯s nothing more than a desperate fight against the crusade.
After defeating the crusade, everyone has a way to survive. If they fail, they will die.??
Therefore, after Zhao Hongyu finished asking, no one spoke for a while.
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to be something very wrong.
This made Zhao Hongyu feel helpless.
"Your Highness, can we capture Osaka Castle? Then use Osaka Castle as a basis to fight against the expeditionary force?"
Just when Zhao Hongyu wanted to say that he had thirty-six artillery pieces, Master Wang was the first to speak out his thoughts.
In Mrs. Wang¡¯s opinion, it is very unreliable to fight with the crusade in the wild with their small number of people.
Therefore, if they want to survive, then they should leave this place and capture Osaka Castle first. Then it would be better to rely on the defense facilities of Osaka Castle to fight against the conquering army.
However, everyone is not optimistic about Master Wang¡¯s proposal.
After all, now they are facing the pressure of the Crusade Army, and it is very unrealistic to consider capturing Osaka Castle at this time.
¡°Besides, there isn¡¯t much time left for them.
The expeditionary army was only half a day's journey away from them, which meant that they had to capture Neiji Osaka Castle in half a day.
Once Osaka Castle cannot be captured within half a day, they will face the trouble of attacking from both sides.
"This method won't work. We don't have much time. It's unrealistic to capture Osaka Castle in half a day. If we capture Osaka Castle in half a day, we will be in trouble."
The speaker was Hattori Onizou, one of the ten people.
Mrs. Wang also knew that his proposal was unreliable, but other than that, he really couldn't think of any good solution.
As soon as Hattori Onizou finished speaking, Yuji Kawabe who had been the old god at that time spoke.
"Actually, our situation is not so unfavorable. In fact, everyone is too worried."
"Kawabe Yuuji said this, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Yuuji Kawabe thoughtfully, and he felt that Yuji Kawabe was not aimless.
After all, through his observation just now, Yuji Kawabe has always been very calm.
Maybe, this guy really has something to do?
I just don¡¯t know what his method is.
He had long heard that Yuji Kawabe was very smart, so he wanted to see how smart this Yuji Kawabe was.
Kawabe Yuuji felt that everyone's eyes were on him. He didn't have any big fluctuations. He just smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness, did you get the thirty-six cannons from the battleship?"
Everyone was stunned. No one knew what Kawabe Yuuji was doing by asking this.
Could it be that the defeat of the expeditionary army had something to do with these artillery pieces?
Only Zhao Hongyu showed a knowing smile when Yuuji asked him by the river.
He felt that Yuuji Kawabe might be looking down on him when he said he was smart.
"Maybe, this guy is really a great talent.
Then, Zhao Hongyu nodded.
After seeing Zhao Hongyu admit this, the smile on Kawabe Yuuji's face became even wider.
"The only thing we rely on to defeat the expeditionary army is these thirty-six artillery pieces."
??Kawabe Yuuji said categorically.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
How is this possible?
That artillery thing can defeat a crusade of almost 10,000 people?
This is no joke.
Except for Zhao Hongyu and the temporary commander of Gene Man, everyone looked at Yuuji Kawabe with their mouths open.
The look in their eyes was indescribably weird, especially that of Iguchi Zuzo, who was sitting closest to Yuji Kawabe and right next to him.
The look in Iguchi Zozo¡¯s eyes was like looking at an ¡®alien¡¯.
Of course, the premise is that Iguchi Zaisan knows what aliens are.
¡°Obviously, Iguchi Zosan will definitely not know this.
But this does not prevent Iguchi Zozo from looking at Yuji Kawabe with strange eyes.
"Kawabe-kun, what do you mean when you say this? Can those artillery defeat the expeditionary army?" The first person who couldn't help but ask was Tokugawa Kayo.
She is now Zhao Hongyu¡¯s general, and also a general of the ninja army under Zhao Hongyu, so she can attend such important military meetings.
Tokugawa Kayo asked this questionAfter the question, Hattori Chizuru and others looked at Yuji Kawabe with gleaming eyes, and then waited for his answer.
Hebeian Yuuji looked at Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and encouraged him, which gave Kawabe Yuuji a lot of confidence.
¡°Actually, Zhao Hongyu also wanted to hear what Yuji Kawabe would say. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
