Chapter 424 Use the truth to persuade people! (raise the big tube)【1W】
Edo, Shiranui, in a certain magnificent mansion——
Shintaro, who was sitting on his knees opposite Lin Ziping, bowed respectfully to Lin Ziping.
"Sir Lin Ziping, I have admired your name for a long time."
There are four people in this magnificent mansion - Shintaro, Eitaro, Lin Ziping, and Shuntaro.
Facing Shintaro's salutes and greetings, Lin Ziping ignored them and didn't even look at Shintaro.
Because of Ogata's sudden arrival, Shuntaro and Eitaro were unable to escape through the tunnel in time, and it took a lot of effort to escape the pursuing officers again and return to Shiranui.
After the two returned to Shiranui, Lin Ziping, who had been knocked unconscious by Eitaro, just woke up.
When Lin Ziping woke up, he was directly invited to this magnificent mansion by Shintaro.
Being ignored by Lin Ziping made Shintaro a little angry, but he still suppressed his anger and continued to respectfully smile at Lin Ziping and said:
"Sir Lin Ziping, we really have no ill intentions towards you. That scream you just made in the prison caused great harm to all my subordinates... Don't you believe that we have something to do with Lord Iwakura Zaemon?
?”
Shintaro had just learned from Eitaro what happened to them while rescuing Lin Zi.
Thanks to Lin Ziping's words of "there is a thief", both he and Shuntaro suffered a lot.
"Whether you have any relationship with Iwakura or not, it doesn't matter to me." Lin Ziping said coldly, "I'm living a good life in prison and I don't need you to rescue me - that's why I called for help."
"It's a pity that the jailers didn't knock down those two of your subordinates. You really let me be rescued."
"It was your close friend Iwakura Zaemon-sama who recommended you to my lord. After being recommended by Iwakura Zaemon-sama, my lord has been fascinated by your talent for a long time and has always wanted to meet you."
"After learning that you were imprisoned, we asked us to use this somewhat rough method to bring you here. We apologize if we made you frightened or unhappy."
"Has Iwakura Zaemon become an official?" Lin Ziping raised his eyebrows.
"Iwakurazaemon-sama is currently serving my lord."
"That man actually became an official..." After muttering like this, Lin Ziping leaned back imagelessly and fell to the ground, "I have no interest in official career or anything like that. Please go and follow me.
Your lord says: I don't want to serve anyone."
"My lord, he doesn't ask you to serve him," Shintaro said seriously, "he just wants to see you and chat with you."
"After talking with you, no matter what you decide to do, my lord will never interfere."
"If you want to join my lord's command, my lord will warmly welcome you."
"If you don't want to serve anyone, my lord will never stop you."
"It's up to you." Lin Ziping yawned greatly, "Anyway, my life is in your hands now. I can go to whoever you want me to see. In short, I will not work for anyone."
"Then please have a good rest. I'll take my leave now." Shintaro saluted Linzi again, then stood up and walked out of the room.
After Shintaro left, Eitaro and Shuntaro, who were also present, also left immediately.
This mansion is an empty house in Shiranui, and Shintaro left it to Lin Ziping for temporary residence.
There are two ninjas from Shiranui guarding the door.
These two people were nominally protecting Lin Ziping, but in fact they were spying on Lin Ziping.
In order to show his sincerity, Shintaro did not lock Lin Ziping's mansion.
It doesn't matter if it's locked or not, there are two ninjas watching him anyway.
After Shintaro left the mansion, he turned his head and smiled at Shuntaro who was walking behind him:
"Shuntaro, you did a good job. Is there anything you want as a reward? Apart from something I can't give you and letting me release the oiran."
"Shut up." Shuntaro didn't want to say another word to Shintaro, so he spat out this word coldly.
"Sir Shintaro." Eitaro on the side asked at this time, "What should we do with the young samurai we met in the abandoned temple? Are we going to find out who he is?"
"...The information we know is too little to find out who he belongs to." Shintaro shook his head, "Let's ignore that person for now. Since the tunnels in that place have been made known to outsiders, they can't be used again in the future.
Use it. Eitaro, tell Hannosuke and the others to fill in the tunnel in that place later."
"yes."
"Then again, is that samurai that strong? How can he survive against you and Shuntaro alone?"
"Yeah!" Eitaro nodded vigorously, "It's very impressive."
When he heard that Shintaro planned to ignore Ogata, Shuntaro secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When he heard Shintaro and Eitaro discussing Ogata, Shuntaro couldn't help but think back to the battle with Ogata just now.
Shuntaro lowered his head and looked at the palms of his hands.
After his own sword collided with Ogata's sword, the painful feeling that was transmitted to Shuntaro's palm still remains to this day.
He hasn't faced such a powerful opponent for a long time.
——So strong...
Shuntaro said this secretly in his heart, while slowly clenching his palms.
Shuntaro's eyes lit up for the first time since he learned that Taifu had been caught.
…
…
The hotel where Edo, Ogata and others stayed——
The large room where Ogata and the others lived was still brightly lit at this time.
Lin and others sat together.
Also present were Uncle Qing and Gua Sheng.
Uncle Qing is simply a "treasure house" to Lin and others.
Unlike Atachi who is just a genin and doesn't have much information, Uncle Kei is a jounin in Shiranui and knows much more than Atachi.
Without further ado, Lin and others quickly called Uncle Qing to hold a meeting and asked Uncle Qing to share the information he knew.
Lin and others originally wanted to ask Gua Sheng, an outsider, to leave temporarily.
But Uncle Qing told Lin and others that Gua Sheng also hated people in Shiranui. The two of them had saved many "Ku" in Shiranui. Gua Sheng was his companion, so he could definitely be trusted and he could keep her there.
Hearing what Uncle Qing said, Lin hesitated for a while, then nodded and agreed to let Gua Sheng attend the meeting, and informed Gua Sheng that they and Ogata were allies, and why they came to Edo this time, as well as Ogata's reason for meeting.
Hiding in Yoshiwara is all to eliminate Shiranui.
After Gua Sheng found out the truth, he showed a look of shock that was second only to knowing that Goro Majima was Issei Ogata.
She didn't expect that the idol she respected actually had a grudge against Shiranui and was here to destroy Shiranui...
"This is the 'Ku Village' where the Ku people live, and this area is where the jonins live, and this area is where the chuunin and genin live. There are a total of several ways to enter Shiranui.
…”
A somewhat rough map was placed in the middle of the people sitting in a circle.
This map is the map of Shiranui that Uncle Qing drew by hand just now.
Uncle Qing, who sat up with the help of Machi, pointed to the map and pointed out the important areas in Shiranui to everyone present.
Lin and others listened carefully.
After Uncle Qing finished speaking, Lin let out a long breath, then bowed to Uncle Qing.
"Your information is very helpful to us, thank you very much for your help."
"You're welcome." After greeting Lin, Uncle Qing fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Uncle Qing couldn't help but asked Lin in a hesitant tone:
"Are you really planning to attack Shiranui? Are you really sure?"
Uncle Qing had just learned from Ogata why they came to Edo.
When he found out that the real purpose of Ogata and others coming to Edo was to defeat Shiranui, Uncle Kei was still surprised until now.
So much so that after sharing everything he knew, he still couldn't help but ask Lin if they really planned to destroy Shiranui.
As soon as Uncle Qing finished speaking, Lin agreed without thinking:
"Well, we're pretty sure. Now is the best time to attack Shiranui. If we don't eliminate this big problem in Shiranui now, how long will it take?"
"Two of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' have now gone." Mamiya on the side also answered at this time, "There is indeed no more suitable time than now to eliminate Shiranui."
Makimura grinned: "Brother Ogata is so strong. He killed two of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' by himself."
When Ogata brought Chiba and Kondo to Uncle Kei for treatment, Ogata secretly pulled Mamiya and Asai to a deserted place outside the room and informed Mamiya and the others that he was going to save Gua Sheng.
At that time, he had a conflict with Ji Tairou, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", and successfully killed him.
Of course - Ogata didn't say that he relied on the "state of selflessness" to defeat Gokutaro.
After all, it was not convenient to explain to them how he entered the "selfless state" again.
It took Yuanyi a total of 30 years from the creation of the "Breath of the Source" to being able to freely enter the "state of selflessness".
But if Ogata now says that he has reached the state that took Genichi 30 years to reach, it would be too shocking and difficult to explain.
Therefore, Ogata chose to continue to hide the fact that he could freely enter the "state of selflessness", and only told them that he successfully defeated Gokutaro by using Kasumi Nagi as a sneak attack.
After Chiba and Kondo left and Lin finished her lecture to Genichi, Mamiya and Asai informed everyone of Ogata's victory.
This is undoubtedly very exciting news for Lin and others.
Counting Kotaro, who was killed by Ogata before, there are now only two "Four Heavenly Kings" left in Shiranui, and their strength has been further weakened.
"...Now all the conditions are mature." Asai, who always said little, also joined in at this time, "We have found the location of Shiranui's base area, and we have a map of their base area, which we bought from 'Tōjo House'
Those things have arrived, and Shiranui's combat power has been further weakened... Now the only time left is to choose to go to war."
"...I think the sooner the war starts, the better." Mamiya said solemnly, "Shiranui has just lost a king, which will have a certain impact on their morale."
"If the time is delayed long enough, they will be able to stabilize people's hearts again."
"I agree with Kuro's point of view." Lin said, "For us, the sooner we launch an attack on Shiranui, the better."
Just as everyone was engaged in a serious discussion, an untimely and huge yawn suddenly sounded.
"Ha~~~~"
The person who yawned was Shimada.
After Shimada yawned, everyone present looked at Shimada with different expressions.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, which made Shimada feel a little embarrassed.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
"No need to apologize." Lin shook her head gently, "It's indeed a little late now. It's understandable that you yawn."
"Speaking of late..." Makimura turned his head and looked at the window next to him, "Why aren't Ogata-san and Genichi-san back yet..."
"...A Yi will not encounter anything again, right?" A faint worry appeared on A Ding's face.
In Amachi's impression, Ogata seems to have always been unlucky...
No matter where you go, you will get into trouble.
Ogata has not returned for a long time, which makes Amachi worried about whether something messy has happened to Ogata again...
Atachi's words made Lin and others fall silent.
They also had similar worries at this time...
In their impression, Yuan Yi is also a troublemaker...
Genichi is even more outrageous than Ogata.
Ogata rarely takes the initiative to cause trouble. Usually all kinds of troubles come to Ogata on his own initiative.
But Yuanyi is different.
Genichi is the kind of person who not only likes to bring trouble to him, but he also likes to make trouble for himself...
"...Lord." Mamiya asked, "Are you going to find them?"
"...No need." Lin shook her head, "Let's wait for now. Maybe they will come back later."
As soon as Lin finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the room.
Hearing the footsteps, Lin was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled at Mamiya and said:
"Look, uncle, isn't he coming back?"
Lin could clearly distinguish Yuan Yi's footsteps.
As soon as the footsteps outside the room sounded, Lin heard that it was Yuan Yi who had returned.
Sure enough, footsteps were heard outside the room, and the door to the room was slowly opened.
The person who opened the door was none other than Yuan Yi.
"Mr. Genichi." Atachi asked hurriedly to Genichi, "Where is Ayi?"
"Huh?" Genichi raised an eyebrow, "Ogata-kun, hasn't he come back?"
Atachi shook his head.
"He hasn't come back yet..." Yuan Yi frowned slightly.
Genichi closed the door, squeezed into the circle surrounded by people cross-legged, and told everything that happened when he and Ogata went to Yoshiwara.
From the time he parted with Ogata, to his encounter with Enma.
When she learned that there was a rebellion in Shiranui and Enma decided to interfere in Shiranui's affairs again, Rin's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Uncle, is what you said true? Is there really a rebellion in Shiranui?"
"That's what Enma told me." Genichi said softly, "I don't think he's lying. He seems to really plan to take this opportunity to retire and stop interfering with anything in Shiranui.
"
"This is really good news." Makimura also smiled at this time, "Now in Shiranui, not only is Gokutaro gone, but Enma is also gone. The overall combat strength is unprecedentedly weakened."
"...It's really a God-given opportunity." Asai responded softly.
Compared with Lin and others who were all focusing on Shiranui, Gua Sheng's attention was on other places.
"Tafu, is she really missing?"
"Yeah." Yuan nodded, "That's what a certain official from the Shirobei Club who knew Ogata-kun said. And Ogata-kun also went to the so-called Ume House to check, but he didn't know who he was.
Why haven't you come back yet?"
"How could this happen..." Gua Sheng's face turned pale, "Tafu, she actually disappeared..."
Atachi: "Apart from the fact that Ait went to that plum house, Mr. Genichi, don't you have any other information about Ait's whereabouts?"
"No." Yuan Yi shook his head, "We separated not long after we first entered Yoshiwara, so..."
Yuan Yi hasn't finished speaking yet.
Ta, take, take, take...
Suddenly there were footsteps again outside the room.
Listening to the footsteps, A Machi's face quickly showed joy.
"It's Ayi who's back."
Just like Rin recognized Genichi's footsteps, A-Machi also recognized Ogata's footsteps.
Wow...
The door was opened.
With a faint look of fatigue on his face, Ogata, who had just escaped from the abandoned temple along the tunnel, slowly walked into the room.
After leaving the abandoned temple, Ogata could not go anywhere else except returning to the hotel first because he lost all clues.
"Ogata-kun, why did you come back later than me?" Genichi asked first.
"It's a long story..." Ogata smiled bitterly.
…
…
Ogata briefly and concisely finished the series of things he just encountered that were much more complicated than Genichi.
After Ogata finished telling his story, everyone also informed Ogata about Genichi's encounter with Enma just now, as well as the information obtained from Enma.
"...Two Shiranui ninjas are carrying an old man on their backs?" Mamiya said solemnly, "Who is that old man?"
"Who knows." Ogata shrugged.
"...In short, what is certain now is that Shiranui is in great chaos right now." Mamiya continued.
"Yes... what is certain now is that someone over there in Shiranui should be 'defeating the upper'." Lin let out a long breath, "Shiranui must have a lot of people's hearts right now... It's a great time to attack..."
"The sooner we launch an attack on Shiranui, the better."
"If you delay it too late, the people's hearts in Shiranui will slowly stabilize, and a good opportunity to attack will be missed..."
"Is it the right time to attack..." Mamiya murmured.
…
"...Then I have a proposal."
…
It was Ogata's voice.
"There are still about three hours until dawn."
"Since the earlier we launch the attack, the better... let's just set the attack time after dawn."
"Just after dawn, let everything settle."
Although Ogata's tone was calm.
But the tone was sonorous and powerful.
Ogata's simple words made everyone present look shocked.
"...Ittosai, what a coincidence." A rare smile appeared on Lin's face, "You and I - we thought of getting together."
"Do you have any other ideas?" Lin looked at Mamiya and others beside her.
"But it's up to the Lord to decide." Mamiya looked serious.
Makimura and others did not speak, only cast a firm look at Lin.
Ogata looked at Amachi.
Atachi didn't speak, he just looked directly into Ogata's eyes and nodded vigorously.
…
…
…
…
It's a sunny day today.
At noon, the beams of sunlight were even more dazzling.
When the sun rose to its highest point, Shuntaro and Shintaro suddenly ordered to summon all the ninjas in Shiranui.
Of course——Shuntaro was coerced into issuing the summons order together with Shintaro.
Now that Enma is no longer around, Shuntaro and Shintaro are currently the highest-ranking people in Shiranui.
The two people with the highest status jointly issued a summons order, and naturally the ninjas in the village dared not disobey.
Except for the group of ninjas who are responsible for guarding outside the village, and some ninjas in special positions, such as the ninjas responsible for guarding the "Kuga Village", all the ninjas gather in the area in the village dedicated to announcing something to all the ninjas in the village.
The open space of things.
After all the ninjas gathered, Shintaro loudly told all the ninjas the speech he had prepared early in the morning.
Shintaro first explained to everyone that Jitaro was attacked and died by an unknown person while he was out on a mission.
Sure enough, after it was announced that Kitaro was dead, there was an instant uproar.
Immediately afterwards, Shintaro said some soothing words such as "We have started to investigate" and "We have some clues".
Shuntaro stood aside silently, looking coldly at Shintaro who was comforting everyone.
In other words - watching Shintaro act.
He had already roughly guessed what Shintaro would do next.
After that, Shintaro will probably support him to become a "puppet Enma", or simply become Enma himself, so as to completely control Shiranui bit by bit.
When he thought of this, Shuntaro's eyes turned cold involuntarily when he looked at Shintaro.
He had originally planned to leave Shiranui and travel around the world to practice as a warrior so as to continue to hone his skills.
As a result, now he is being held hostage by Shintaro and has to succumb to him. I don't know how long Shintaro intends to use him before letting him go.
Looking at Shintaro in front of him, Shuntaro silently clenched his fists that were hanging naturally.
The light in his eyes twinkled.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
…
…
At this moment——
"Are you all ready?" Lin asked the people behind her who were carrying the big guy.
"Everything is ready."
Lin: "Then - let's go."
…
…
Shiranui, the periphery——
At any time, there is a group of ninjas on guard outside Shiranui.
Even Shintaro and Shuntaro issued a joint summons order to summon all the ninjas in the village for a meeting.
These ninjas responsible for guarding the outside of the village stood at their respective posts meticulously, guarding the outside of the village.
At this moment, the ninja at a certain sentry suddenly frowned.
Because——he suddenly saw black spots appearing at the end of the mountain road connecting the village entrance.
As the black dots gradually enlarged, he gradually saw clearly what they were.
is an individual.
Shock appeared on the ninja's face.
Because their base in Shiranui is located in a fairly hidden place, it is generally impossible for outsiders to find it.
Just when this ninja was about to call out to his companions to inform them that an outsider was approaching——
call……
A strange whistling sound sounded...
…
…
boom!
A sound like thunder came.
This sound alerted all the ninjas in the clearing, alerted Shintaro, and also alerted Shuntaro.
Shintaro stared blankly at the direction where the thunder came from - the direction of the village entrance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several more thunders sounded.
The ninjas in the clearing were talking a lot, discussing what the thunder was about.
As for Shintaro - the other ninjas didn't recognize the sound of the thunder, but he did.
"Otsutsuki...?!" Shintaro's face lost color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
…
…
boom!
Another "thunder" sounded.
A spherical black shadow as fast as lightning hit the middle of the two ninjas not far away.
The moment the spherical black shadow fell, the two ninjas both screamed.
A Jonin who was about 40 years old waved his arms vigorously towards the surviving ninjas who were responsible for guarding outside the village, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone spread out, don't get together! It's a big tube! Get together!"
Being together will only make you a target!"
"Bastard! Fight with them!" A ninja with a ferocious face pulled out the ninja sword from behind and rushed towards the group of uninvited guests not far away.
"Idiot! Come back quickly!" The old jounin who just told everyone to disperse angrily shouted at the ninja who launched a mindless attack.
boom!
As soon as the old jounin finished his roar, there was another thunderous sound.
Then another round black shadow shot out.
This round black shadow fell steadily next to the ninja who launched a mindless attack.
As soon as the round black shadow fell, there was only a "boom" sound, and the ninja who launched the mindless attack fell to the ground without even having a chance to scream, and never got up again...
…
…
Ogata and the others set the time of attack at noon.
This way, they have a whole morning to prepare.
"You're all set to hit!" Lin said loudly, "Don't waste ammunition!"
In order to completely solve the serious problem of Shiranui, Lin thought of many ways to defeat Shiranui.
"Be careful! Avoid everyone! That's a big tube, and the things shot out of the big tube will explode!"
On the way to Edo by boat, Lin summarized the methods she thought of and came up with the most efficient strategy for defeating the enemy.
"Ah! My hand!"
To implement this strategy, we need the help of the well-connected and black-and-white "Tōjōya". They are the most powerful Yakuza force in East Japan. If you want to buy something, you can definitely go to them.
"Quick! Kill them! Kill those people holding the big tubes!"
So on the second day after arriving in Edo, Lin took Genichi to find Tojo Daigo, the current boss of Tojo House, and asked him to help find the location of Shiranui's base and also asked him to help buy some things.
"Kuro! Don't let these ninjas get close!"
The thing Lin asked Dongcheng Daigo to help buy was the big tube.
The most efficient strategy for defeating the enemy that Lin has concluded is to bomb Shiranui with a large cannon!
Yesterday during the day, the big tube Lin bought from Dongcheng Daigo finally arrived.
Equipment like large barrels is more expensive and rarer than iron cannons. Even Tojo Daigo, who has great hands and eyes, can only help Lin get 18 of them.
18 large tubes - this number actually exceeded Lin's expectations.
At that time, in addition to buying the big tube from Tojo Daigo, Lin also made an appointment with Tojo Daigo to hire someone who could use the big tube from him.
After deciding to let the grudge between Calabash House and Shiranui end today, when it was still dawn today, Lin went to the headquarters of Tojo House and approached Tojo Daigo, asking Tojo Daigo to follow the agreement and transfer the ability to use the big tube to
Someone lent it to her.
A large tube requires 2 people to operate.
Dongchengwu can even get big tubes, so there are naturally many people who can operate big tubes.
Seeing that Lin came to ask for someone, Tojo Daigo did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he sent 36 subordinates who could use the big cannon to Lin.
In order to boost the morale of the 36 gunners borrowed from Dongcheng Daigo, Lin specially withdrew a sum of her savings from the bank, then spread the coins wildly, giving each gunner a settlement allowance of 20 taels.
If he dies, his family can get another 80 taels.
A reward of 20 taels of gold - they had to work in Dongchengwu for who knows how many years to save this money.
Lin's money boosted the morale of the 36 gunners.
So... there was a scene like this: Lin, Ogata and others led 36 people carrying large tubes and advanced straight towards the base in Shiranui.
The following is the full force of the attack on Shiranui: Ogata, Amachi, everyone from Calabash House, and 36 gunners borrowed from Tojo Daigo.
Gua Sheng originally wanted to participate.
She already had a grudge against Shiranui, and she also wanted to contribute her share to Shiranui's destruction.
It was a pity that she had too many injuries and was unable to exert her full strength, so Ogata still persuaded her and let her stay at the hotel to take care of Uncle Qing.
Many people mistakenly think that the big tube is the artillery.
This is actually wrong.
There are many types of large tubes in Japan.
Some large barrels do look like artillery, have wheels for movement, and have firepower that is not inferior to that of artillery.
But most large barrels are something between muskets and artillery.
In layman's terms, it is the "ancient version of the rocket launcher".
The large tube Lin bought from Tojo Daigo was a more portable "bazooka" rather than an "artillery".
As early as the Warring States Period 200 years ago, large tubes began to be active.
The big barrel mainly uses two types of shells.
One is a solid bullet.
The other type is the explosive shell, which will explode when it hits the target, and the fragments of the shell will fly around, causing splash damage.
And the artillery shells Lin bought from Dongcheng Daigo, without exception, were all explosive shells...
After approaching Shiranui's base, Lin ordered a volley of fire.
Only one round of shelling stunned the ninjas who were on guard outside the village.
In order to ensure the safety of these gunners borrowed from Tojo Daigo, Lin asked Mamiya and others to stand on the outermost edge of the gunners like her, protecting the safety of the gunners and keeping the ninjas away.
Under their protection, the gunners fired indiscriminate bombs at the ninjas wherever they looked.
There is no need to specifically aim, because their shells are all explosive shells. Even if they do not hit the enemy directly, they can still kill the enemy with splash damage.
After only a moment of fighting with the ninjas who were responsible for guarding outside the village, they were defeated by the alternating bombardment of large cannons, and the defense line was completely torn apart...
…
…
The ninja sent to check the situation came back, and from his words, Shintaro and Shuntaro understood what happened.
After learning that an unknown person came to attack them with a large number of large tubes, Shintaro's face instantly turned ugly as if he had eaten shit.
At this moment, many questions suddenly came to Shintaro's mind.
The biggest question is naturally - who are these people who suddenly attack them?
Shintaro couldn't even care about the questions that were pouring out of his mind one after another.
He dismissed the questions in his mind one by one and replaced them with a clear cry - the attack of these people must be blocked as soon as possible!
He finally took the first step to control the entire Shiranui, but he didn't want to let Shiranui just disappear.
Shintaro turned around and shouted to the ninjas who were still in the open space and were frightened by the continuous thunder:
"Everyone! There is an enemy attack! Prepare to meet the enemy!!"
…
…
Relying on the power of the Otsutsuki, Ogata and his team successfully defeated the group of ninjas responsible for guarding the outside and invaded Shiranui.
After entering Shiranui, Ogata shouted to Lin beside him:
"Miss Lin! Then we will separate for now! I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
"Yes!" Lin nodded vigorously, "I also wish you good luck in martial arts!"
After exchanging blessings, Ogata turned his head and winked at Atachi beside him.
After understanding the meaning of Ogata's eyes, Atachi nodded vigorously, and then separated from Rin and others with Ogata.
Lin and the others continued to lead the gunners straight towards the center of Shiranui.
But Ogata and Amachi turned to another road.
And this road leads to the "Gu Village".
…
…
Time goes back to early morning this morning——
When Ogata and others decided to settle all the grudges with Shiranui at noon today after dawn——
"Your combat power is still too little." Uncle Qing said coldly, "Even if you say you have big helpers, your combat power is still too little."
"If you want to defeat Shiranui, you will need more helpers."
"Otherwise Shiranui will still be able to rely on her numerical advantage to wear you down bit by bit."
Uncle Qing's words made Lin frown slightly.
Just when Lin was about to say something——
"……I have an idea."
Atachi suddenly interrupted.
"How about... when we attack Shiranui, how about we go rescue the 'Ku's?"
As soon as A-Machi said this, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Uncle Qing, who was sitting next to Ah Ding, turned his head and looked at Ah Ding with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
"Rescue 'Ku'?" Asai cast a puzzled look at Atachi.
"As far as I know, many 'Ku' are actually full of resentment towards Shiranui." Atachi said softly, "It's just that they were forced to succumb to the power because they were unable to resist."
"If we rescue them, then tell them we are here to destroy Shiranui."
"Maybe we can get some of the 'Ku' to pick up weapons and fight with us."
"Many 'Ku' were originally ninjas and had certain abilities."
"With the help of some 'Zui', a lot of our pressure can be relieved."
"...I see." Mamiya nodded, "That's a good idea."
"But..." Asai raised his doubts at this time, "I think when you release the 'Ku', most of the 'Ku' must have taken this opportunity to escape directly. Do you have the courage to resist Shiranui?
I don’t think there are many people.”
"It doesn't matter even if most of the 'Ku' escape." Amachi's tone was firm, "As long as we let go of the 'Ku' in the 'Ku' village, it will definitely increase the chaos in Shiranui."
"As long as we can make Shiranui become more chaotic and affect their command, we will make a profit."
"...I understand." Lin said softly, "Miss Atachi's idea is very good. I agree with Miss Atachi's idea."
The rest of the people looked at each other.
Then they all expressed their approval for Amachi's plan.
"Uncle Qing." Amachi looked at Uncle Qing beside him, "Do you know where the keys to the shackles of the 'Ku' are?"
If you want to save "Ku", you must first find a way to remove the shackles on their feet, otherwise it will be nonsense to talk about "Ku".
"I know." Uncle Qing nodded, "Normally, in order to make it easier for 'Zu's' to work, I occasionally remove 'Zu's' shackles."
"So for the sake of convenience, the key to the shackles is placed in a two-story house in the north of 'Zu Village'."
"That house is where the ninjas responsible for guarding the 'Kuga Village' rest."
"Let me draw you a map of 'Gou Village'."
For Uncle Qing, who had to defect to Shiranui because he helped the "Ku"s escape, he is very familiar with the "Ku Village".
In a short time, Uncle Qing drew a detailed map of "Jiu Village" and marked the location of the house where the shackle keys were stored...
…
…
Lin and others, leading the gunners, headed straight into the depths of Shiranui.
In this battle with Shiranui, you can only use fast attacks, not slow attacks.
Once the attack speed is slowed down and the ninjas in Shiranui are allowed to recover and start to counterattack, Rin and the others will be in trouble.
No matter what Shiranui said, the number of people was far superior to them.
If they start to counterattack after they have regained their composure, losing is not impossible.
Therefore, after attacking Shiranui, Lin did not make any pause and allowed everyone to continue the attack, marching into the depths of Shiranui, chasing down and beating all ninjas within sight.
Attack before the enemy has time to organize a defense, break through the enemy's depth, and prevent the enemy from organizing a defense - this is one of the basic tactics whether in ancient times or in modern times.
Whoosh——!
Just when Lin and others rushed into a place deep inside Shiranui, Lin suddenly heard a gust of wind coming toward her.
Like a conditioned reflex, Lin stretched out her left hand to reach for Enma on her right waist, and used the "Raikiri" technique of the Muga Rinto style to shoot down the kunai flying towards them.
As soon as she shot down this kunai, Lin saw batches of ninjas starting to pour out from the ends of the roads ahead.
They were all dressed in pitch black, like ants crawling out of an anthill.
Looking at the large number of ninjas in front of her, Lin said solemnly:
"coming……"
The main force in Shiranui is here.
It was faster than Lin expected.
"Prepare for bombardment!" Lin ordered the gunners behind her, "Prepare to shoot!"
