    midnight

    The wind comes back from the sea, bringing with it bursts of freshness.

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

    However, after experiencing a series of battles and rudeness during the day, the soldiers of the Crusade Army did not have this intention.

    Especially after they finished their dinner, they all sat down on the grass with very numb expressions.

    They are exhausted.

    It was precisely because of taking this situation into consideration that Feng Shi and Ishida Hedao retreated a few miles and then set up camp. At the same time, they had no plan to attack at night.

    After all, the soldiers were too tired.

    Under such circumstances, even if they were to attack at night, it would be impossible to achieve any results.

    The battle situation during the day was very unfavorable for them when they arrived, and none of the things they originally planned were successful.

    Especially Houtian. He originally wanted to attack Zhao Hongyu's artillery team, but he had to stop because 2,000 reinforcements appeared on Zhao Hongyu's side, which caused the entire crusade to retreat.

    However, the crusade army really felt the power of the enemy's artillery.

    If they do not deal with the enemy's artillery, then if they launch another attack tomorrow, it will actually be impossible for them to defeat the enemy.

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

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

    After all, they are very good at sneaking and hiding.

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

    In the ¡®big tent¡¯ set up by Feng Shi, Houtian came in front of everyone at midnight.

    Because the battle situation during the day was not going well, Feng Shi, Ishida Hedao and the generals had no intention of resting. They were still gathering together to discuss the next day.

    Houtian took two of his men and met Feng Shi and Ishida Hedao.

    Regarding Houtian¡¯s midnight visit, Feng Shi almost knew his plan.

    However, he still asked.

    Faced with Feng Shi¡¯s inquiry, Houtian had nothing to hide.

    "Sir, we can't get close to the enemy during the day, so I plan to take a look at this time of night. If there is a chance, we may be able to destroy the opponent's artillery."

    Regarding Houtian¡¯s plan, Feng Shi didn¡¯t want to stop it.

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

    During the day, he had truly felt the power of the artillery, and the losses the artillery caused to them also made him feel heartache.

    If we don¡¯t deal with the enemy¡¯s artillery, then there will be no way to continue this crusade.

    It¡¯s not just Feng Shi who thinks so, Ishida Aido and a group of military generals basically think so too.

    ¡°Then please do everything.¡±

    Ishida Aido, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at him and bowed slightly to Gota, which seemed to indicate that he approved of Gota's plan.

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

    At this time, it was just past midnight, and he needed to start preparations immediately. If it was almost a little later, he would be able to start taking action.

    Although I have not systematically studied the knowledge of future generations, I do not understand the rules of night raids.

    ¡°But Gotian still knows when the human body is most sleepy at night.

    He just has to choose that time to sneak in and act, and only in this way can he achieve unexpected results.

    Although Gota thought it would be easy to sneak into these enemy camps by relying on his own ability.

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

    It¡¯s just that he failed to calculate it despite all his calculations. No matter how cautious he was, something unexpected happened that he didn¡¯t expect.

    That is, the Yihe people actually took refuge in Zhao Hongyu, and in Zhao Hongyu's camp, a big net has been opened waiting for him and his people.

    Yes, until now, Gota doesn¡¯t know that the Iga-ryu people are in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s camp and have already joined them to work for him.

    However, for Iga-ryu, Hattori Kizo actually possesses information about Gota and the others.

    This allows both parties to have different information.?etc. situation.

    What's more, the deaths of Kogoro, Shinbei, and Kouko, as well as the four unlucky guys who were killed by artillery during the day, caused Gota and the others a lot of losses.

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

    On one side, there are only three people left.

    "The other side has a complete combat strength of ten people.

    This point alone is already incomparable to Houtian.

    Coupled with the asymmetry of information, it was destined that Gota would have a tragic ending in this war.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that Houtian doesn¡¯t know all this yet.

    If he knew about it, he would definitely not stay here for a long time.

    But after all, he doesn¡¯t know all this.

    "Damn Kogoro, where did he go with Shinbei and Kouko? It's been a day, even if they don't have a chance to attack, they will still come to us." Gota finished preparing.  Afterwards, thinking of Kogoro and the others, he couldn't help but frown and whisper angrily to his two companions.

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

    After all, four companions died during the day, which made him feel that there was a shortage of manpower.

    Moreover, for a whole day, since he joined the crusade, his heart had been beating "bang bang bang", and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

    ¡° Moreover, this feeling is very gratuitous.

    He always feels that something bad will happen.

    But if you ask him why he has such thoughts, it¡¯s impossible for Gota to tell you.

    At the same time, he couldn¡¯t tell his weird idea to his two remaining companions. After all, if he said such words to them, it would greatly affect their mentality.

    Therefore, Houtian could only suppress this weird and unreasonable feeling in his heart.

    What are the dangers?

    Probably not.

    Could it be that something went wrong with Kogoro and the others?

    No, that¡¯s absolutely not the case.

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

    And there are masters like Shinbei beside him, so even if they encounter any trouble, they can get out safely.

    Are you from Iga-ryu?

    Suddenly, Gota finally thought that the danger might come from the Iga-ryu people.

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

    Because Houtian felt that this thing was unlikely to happen.

    Based on his understanding of the Iga-ryu people, if the danger came from Iga-ryu, then they would have already fought against the Iga-ryu people.

    "I definitely won't wait until 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.

    ¡°Furthermore, those in Iga-ryu are not good at conspiracy.

    ??Besides, it makes no sense for Iga-ryu to appear here for no reason. Although there was news that their traces were found here, it is impossible for these Iga-ryu guys to stay in one place for such a long time.

    Over the years, the shogunate and Koga have been encircling and suppressing them.

    So, these people basically don¡¯t stay in one place for very long.

    Therefore, it is unlikely that Kogoro and the others will encounter these Iga people.

    "But, if that's the case, why didn't Kogoro, Shinbei, and Kouko come here to have a round with him?

    After much deliberation, Houtian finally came up with a ¡®reasonable¡¯ explanation.

    That is, this guy Kogoro has never been convinced by himself. He did not come to join him because he wanted to find an opportunity for himself to do something big.

    When the time comes, once you have the merit, you can¡¯t do anything to him.

    Based on my understanding of Kogoro¡¯s character, only this explanation can make sense.

    Gotada would never have imagined that the corpses of Kogoro and the others were already chilling deep in the forest¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    "Everyone, let's continue to discuss tomorrow's war. I hope that Houtian and his people can deal with the enemy's artillery, otherwise we will face a lot of trouble tomorrow.These are the powerful artillery pieces.  "

    After Goda left, Ishida Aido looked around and proposed to continue discussing the issue of tomorrow's war.

    Today¡¯s battle during the day has given all of them a new understanding of the enemy.

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

    It would not be enough to say that it opened their eyes, but it was true that it made them feel very shocked.

    Not to mention anything else, but when it comes to the use of "iron cannon", that is, muskets, these enemies are even more advanced than the three-stage shooting technology mastered by the Japanese.

    And when used on the battlefield, its power has also been reflected.

    These weapons are really much more powerful than the cold weapons they use.

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

    "Sir, we should organize some manpower to cut down some bamboo from the nearby bamboo forest at night to make some bows and arrows. Everyone has seen the battle situation during the day today. Due to the mistake of former commander Takahashi, we did not have bows and arrows in the army.  Hands, if we had archers, then the war might not be so corrupt."

    Tanaka, a general under Ishida Aido, was the first to speak up and put forward his own suggestions.

    Once 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 crusade, and the main reason for the lack of archers is because Takahashi was so bloody that he could no longer die.  (To be continued.
