After seeing the Takeda cavalry, a Tokugawa ninja hidden in the grass quietly retreated.
However, his movements were a little too obvious, and he was stared at by a pair of sharp eyes among the Takeda cavalry. The Takeda general wearing gray armor was Hara Masanobu, one of the twenty-four brave generals of the Takeda family.
He is famous for his superb martial arts and is said to be a ninja from Topori, Kai.
The ninja who obviously had poor concealment skills was noticed by him and remembered in his heart. He knew that if he shouted or rushed with everyone at this time, the ninja would escape like a flea in an instant.
There was no trace of him, so he pretended not to see it, deliberately slowed down his pace, and using the woods and the large army of soldiers as cover, he headed towards the ninja's hiding place from the other side.
Just when the Tokugawa ninja finished inquiring about the news and was about to evacuate, a rope noose suddenly fell from the sky! It covered him all of a sudden!
But this ninja reacted relatively quickly. He immediately took out a dagger with his wrist and cut off the rope before it was tied tightly!
Yuan Changye was a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that a low-level ninja who was just investigating on the front line could be so flexible, so he didn't dare to neglect anymore and immediately pulled out his nodachi from behind.
But this ninja obviously didn't intend to fight with him. He waved his hand as soon as he was freed from the restraints! I saw bright lights in the sky, and countless bitter darts in the wind were shot at him!
Yuan Changye was no stranger to this kind of hidden weapon. He was also a master in using Ku. I saw his hand that was not holding the knife quickly stretched out a few times! At the same time, several spinning blades of the Nodachi in his hand were playing.
He saw those Ku in the air being shot down one after another, and a few of them were caught by his quick eyes and hands!
He then threw it with his backhand! Those bitter darts instantly penetrated into the legs of the Tokugawa ninja as if they had eyes!
The Tokugawa ninja immediately couldn't stand and fell down. Just as Yuan Changyu was about to step forward and tie up the ninja, a small ball suddenly exploded beside him!
A cloud of thick smoke immediately rose around him. When the smoke dissipated, the ninja had long disappeared.
"It seems that the enemy has sent more than one spy! They have stepped up their precautions!" Yuan Changhe was deeply impressed by the assassination of Takeda Shingen last time. He did not want the tragedy to happen again.
While the Takeda family was desperately trying to eliminate the spies, the Oda coalition was also working hard to eliminate the ninjas sent by the Takeda family.
The Takeda family's ninjas obviously achieved better results. Not only did they clearly grasp the military information in the city, they also poisoned the wells in the city.
Immediately, dozens of soldiers died of poisoning after drinking the water, and many wells were out of service. Fortunately, Tokugawa Ieyasu had many wells hidden secretly. Therefore, he could still barely support the water supply needs of the huge army.
Hattori Hanzo, the chief ninja of the Tokugawa family, felt that he had neglected his duty, so he personally led people to the military camps of each family to conduct secret investigations. He himself also dressed up as an Oda family soldier and mingled with the Oda family sergeants.
Hattori Hanzo chose to start with the Oda family for a reason. He analyzed that since the sergeants of the Tokugawa family were all locals and had a strong Mikawa accent, it would be easy to be discovered if outside spies infiltrated. Therefore, it was unlikely that outsiders would infiltrate.
Du Fei's army also all has Shikoku and Kyushu accents, and the sergeants are all familiar with each other, and it is difficult to insert them. Because the appearance can be used in disguise. But the accent is something that is formed over a long period of time and is difficult to imitate, so
The chance of hiding spies among the soldiers of these two families is relatively small.
The only thing that needs attention is the Oda family.
In order to rapidly expand his army after entering Beijing, Oda Nobunaga recruited a large number of wild samurai from all over the country. These wild samurai came from all directions and came from all regions. Due to the rapid expansion of the army, they recently joined forces with the Miyoshi Alliance Army.
There were many casualties in the war, and many times the soldiers would find themselves the only veteran left in the entire team without even getting to know each other.
Hattori Hanzo is best at cross-dressing. He once successfully disguised himself as Takeda Shingen and tried to get close to him, but when he was just one step away from his palace, he was struck by several of his martial arts and ninjutsu.
The guards stopped him and discovered it. Although the assassination was unsuccessful, everyone in the Takeda family was shocked and was covered in cold sweat!
At this moment, he pretended to be a one-eyed Oda soldier, holding a bitter grass in his mouth and biting it, while keeping the other hand hidden in his arms.
Normally, his eyes were as sharp and aggressive as an owl, but at this moment, he covered one of his eyes in order not to attract attention, and when he looked at people, he tried to look at them quietly with a calm look.
A young soldier of the Oda family gradually attracted his attention: this man was only four feet tall, obviously shorter than others. However, his steps were unusually steady and powerful, and it seemed that his legs and feet had received intensive training.
The most suspicious thing is that this guy hardly communicates with anyone. When eating, everyone rushes to grab the only bucket of vegetables to eat, but he always disappears at this time.
Hattori Hanzo couldn't help but feel excited. It seemed that this guy must be the poisoned Takeda ninja! People who are short and don't like to talk are most likely to be ignored. When eating is when the defense force is the most relaxed, he should take advantage of it.
At this time, the information in the city was sent out.
He wanted to subdue him immediately, but as soon as he stood up, he had a second thought: If he were to catch him, there would be new spies who would infiltrate and it would take a lot of effort to identify them. Since the target had been locked, why not
Just follow the plan?
After reporting the situation to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu pondered for a while, and then whispered a few words to Hattori Hanzo
It was another sunny noon, and as usual, there was a noise in the Oda Military Camp in Okazaki Castle! It turned out that it was time for dinner again.
I saw the soldiers of the Oda family rushing towards a camp after receiving their share of white rice.
There is a huge iron pot in this camp, and the food in the pot will be cooked soon. Under normal circumstances, the soldiers have no food to eat, but because they are guests in Okazaki Castle, Tokugawa Ieyasu is very generous
Every day, a large stew of radish, tofu and other dishes was cooked for the soldiers of the Oda Army.
Since the quantity is so small, there is simply not enough food to eat, so every time it is time to eat, the Oda army's blood boils! Everyone squeezes forward as hard as they can, and those who squeeze to the front can scoop a full bowl of vegetables. Those who are unlucky
Not even a vegetable leaf could be fished out.
Of course, Du Fei's army, which has plenty of food and grass, will not be in this situation at all, because they often purchase all kinds of military supplies as soon as they arrive. Except when the battle is the most tense, Du Fei's soldiers usually have food and food.
They can eat rice, and they can also eat meat dishes every now and then. They often can't finish the bland dishes provided by the Tokugawa family as a courtesy.
At this time, the soldiers of the Oda family understood how important it was to exercise regularly. Some strong soldiers could easily squeeze in and out of the crowd and fill their bowls with food.
.
Suddenly the Tokugawa soldier in charge of the stew shouted: "The food is ready!" After saying that, he quickly stepped aside! (Smart)
I saw a large group of Oda soldiers surrounding the cauldron with astonishing momentum like a charge! If the Tokugawa soldier had run slower, he would have been trampled to death by the crowd.
A few big-bodied Oda sergeants crowded in the front desperately fought for the spoons used to scoop vegetables. In the end, some people couldn't wait and even dug in with their hands, which caused great dissatisfaction among others, and the noisy crowd started again.
There was a commotion.
Just when almost all the Oda troops were grabbing food, the spy of the Takeda family quietly slipped to the city wall.
He looked around and saw that no one among the sparse guards on the city wall was paying attention to him, so he immediately put a note in his arms into a small golden cloth bag and punched it out with something similar to a bow.
The moment he handed out the application form, he suddenly felt a cold breath!
Before the spy could turn around, he was knocked unconscious by Hattori Hanzo behind him.
Hattori Hanzo immediately left the city and saw a figure disappearing in the woods outside the city! He did not hesitate and immediately chased after him! Even though the other person was also an experienced chunin with high ninjutsu.
But compared to Hattori Hanzo, a direct disciple of Igari's secret technique, it was still a bit unsatisfactory. I saw the ninja running among the treetops, leaping high from time to time, and leaping over a large forest, but Hattori Hanzo was always dead.
Follow him to death.
Suddenly, the ninja suddenly turned around! He sprinkled the ground with sky-high nails! Such childish things were of course useless to a top ninja like Hattori Hanzo. He didn't even jump, he just took a few steps.
The feet didn't even leave the ground and they passed through those upward spikes in an instant.
He saw that the ninja in front of him was slightly slower, so he shot a few circular darts at him!
The ring-shaped dart tore through the air and accidentally cut the Achilles tendons of the ninja's feet! This hidden weapon is Hanzo Hattori's favorite to use, because it has blades on all sides and can accelerate on its own while spinning in the air.
It often causes the enemy to make mistakes in judgment and get hit.
The ninja of the Takeda family seemed to be aware of the hidden weapon coming from behind, so he slightly bent one leg and jumped! As soon as one of his feet left the ground, the other foot was penetrated by the whizzing ring dart.
.
With a dull scream, the ninja fell face down.
Hattori Hanzo was about to step forward and tie him up, but the ninja on the ground suddenly burst out! A short blowpipe was seen sticking out of his mouth, and a "pop" sound was heard! A poisonous blow nail
Cum towards Hattori Hanzo at extremely fast speed!
