Kanehei Tsunori's deliberate arrangement was just out of his usual cautiousness, but he didn't expect to find Ivan and the Shadow Killer who assassinated him at night, so a fight that was unexpected by everyone began in such a vague way.
The powerful shadow killers were not injured by the bow and arrow arranged by Kanepei Tsunade at all, but they found the assassination target they wanted by taking advantage of the movement of the Tsugaru family's army.
The killing of more than a dozen Tsugaru family ashigaru generals and shoguns on the spot plunged the Tsugaru family's ashigaru family, who were besieging the shadow killers, into a brief chaos, and the head of the Ashigaru group, who had lost his direct commander, did not know how to continue the siege.
"All the soldiers are in a group, with the head of the Ashigaru group as the commander, scatter and besiege these ninjas!
Before the panicked Tsugaru clan soldiers could react from their panic, Kanehira Tsunori's order had already resounded throughout the barracks, and the ashigaru, who had received the order, immediately organized themselves in a step-by-step manner and relaunched the siege of the Shadow Killer.
Ivan, who was struggling to kill left and right, didn't dare to delay any longer, and it was a suicidal battle to challenge thousands of Tsugaru soldiers with just fifteen shadow killers, so he had to gather his men now and prepare to escape from this military camp.
The shadow killers who were surrounded by groups soon suffered inevitable casualties, and the shadow killers whose first arm was pierced were only the beginning, not the end.
Ivan, who was the leader of the shadow killer, will not sit idly by and watch his subordinates be killed by the enemy, but that does not mean that Ivan has the strength to save others.
As soon as Ivan pulled the wounded and incapacitated subordinate behind him, another shadow killer was suddenly shot through the throat by a sharp arrow that was shot by Kanehira himself, who was on the edge of the battle.
Angry-eyed, Ivan clenched the blood-stained soul blade in his hand, and viciously plunged the soul blade into the chest of an ashigaru group leader; anger could not change the situation in front of him, but it could allow Ivan to exert more terrifying combat power.
His originally sharp attacks became more and more violent, and the other Shadow Killers also moved closer to Ivan while fighting after the death of Robe, which was the practice of the Shadow Killers, and once they were ready to break out, they would be as close together as possible.
Although this will bring more difficulty to the breakthrough, it can also accumulate more strength for the next breakthrough, but this time, the difficulty is far greater than the strength, seeing that there are more and more enemies surrounding him and others, Ivan's forehead is also sweating.
The shadow killers in a circle protected the three wounded robes in the center, while the others, including Ivan, fought on the perimeter, and as time passed, everyone knew that the hope of breaking out was getting slimmer.
"Commander, don't look back, take your brothers to break through along the weakest northwest direction!"
Ivan, who was getting more and more tired from the battle, could already feel the loss of strength in his body, and he wanted to hurry up to break through, but he was never able to make a gap in the enemy's encirclement, and at this moment, the voice of the wounded shadow killer came from behind him.
A bad premonition rose from Ivan's heart when he heard these words, but before he could turn back, the three wounded shadow killers picked up their soul blades again, and rushed out of the circle to kill the enemy in the southeast direction.
The desperate Shadow Killers were even more terrifying than the other Shadow Killers who were close to exhaustion, and they went on a rampage into the Ashigaru forces of the Tsugaru clan, killing all the enemies that came their way in front of them.
The end of the crossbow is not terrible, what is terrible is the last arrow fired by this strong crossbow, and the three shadow killers who are injured and rush out of the circle are the last arrow shot by the strong crossbow, and they are using their lives to fight for the other shadow killers to escape.
The northwest direction, which was originally weaker than the other directions, after the three shadow killers rushed to the southeast direction, they thought that the direction of the shadow killer's breakthrough was southeast, so they gradually moved to the southeast direction, intending to intercept the shadow killer in the southeast direction.
The Tsugaru family's army, which did not have the command of the Ashigaru Shogun and the Shogun, actually lost many numerical advantages, and those low-level Ashigaru leaders did not know how to command, they only knew how to lead the Ashigaru under their command towards the crowded place.
As for the Ashigaru generals and shosho generals who were hidden in the ashigaru, they had the heart to stand up and organize the army, but they really didn't dare to risk their lives to stand up, and the bodies of the ashigaru generals and shosho who were killed by the shadow killer were still lying on the edge of the battle.
The northwest direction, which is getting weaker and weaker, has become an excellent breakthrough direction for the shadow killers, and Ivan, who can't wait for me, still didn't look back at the three subordinates he chose to sacrifice after all, he took the shadow killers around him, and resolutely killed in the northwest direction.
The soldiers of the Tsugaru family, who were slowly shifting direction, were already too late when they discovered that the northwest direction was the real breakthrough direction of the Shadow Killer, and Ivan and the others had successfully broken through the barriers of hundreds of ashigaru and arrived at the very edge of the barracks.
"The 'hospitality' of the Tsugaru family tonight, our shadow killer will return it one day!" Just after all the shadow killers under his command escaped from the barracks, Ivan, who had personally cut it off, left such a word, and then jumped into the air and fled from this place angrily.
None of the three shadow killers who volunteered to die were able to escape, and under the siege of the Tsugaru family's soldiers, the three shadow killers soon lost their ability to resist and became cold corpses in the barracks.
In the bloody battle in the middle of the night, Ivan's shadow killer paid the price of four killed and the others wounded, while Kanehira Tsunari's army had fifteen ashigaru generals and four attendant generals killed, and the number of ordinary ashigaru killed in battle exceeded 400, and the number of wounded was only a lot more.
Such a disproportionate comparison of casualties made Kanehirsuna full of worries about these enemies who called themselves 'shadow killers', and he only thought that the other party was a ninja, but now it seems that the identity of the other party is far more complicated than he imagined, and the thought of these Kaneheita is a headache.
"It's hard to do a lot of things, I hope our Tsugaru family can get through the current difficulties. He is the commander of the army, and he wants to give his soldiers the belief in victory.
