Yang Sichang, Badali and others stood on the shore of the Tsugaru Strait, looking at the other side.
Badali said: "Governor, let's just wait and see, don't we kill the past?"
” Badali took 30,000 troops from Horqin and the Mongolian tribes to fight with the Ming Dynasty and listened to Yang Sichang.
Yang Sichang put down the binoculars and said: "Those Xiyi artillery on the other side are all bought from pirates, although they are far inferior to my Daming, but after all, they have some power, if our ferry lands, there will be a lot of losses." ” Badali is also a striker this time, so he naturally has a clear understanding of the current situation.
The Ming Dynasty occupied Ezo three years ago, and the Wa Kingdom prepared the Ming Dynasty from going south from here, and built fortresses at the landing sites on the opposite bank, and also equipped Xiyi's artillery.
Crucially, they are landlubbers in the desert and grassland, they are not accustomed to water, and their combat power on the ship is inherently reduced by half.
Despite knowing this, Badali was still unwilling in his heart.
Korqin now has no threat from Chahar, but the three Khalkha tribes are pressed on their heads, and if they are protected by the Ming tomorrow, their lives will be very difficult.
They have received too many benefits from Daming, and they must reciprocate!
Badali looked at the calm strait, hesitated for a while, and said, "Governor, then we can't stay here and watch, right?"
” Although Badali is the Great Khan of Horqin, he accepted the canonization of the two-character king of the Ming Dynasty, and his sister is still a concubine in the palace, but her posture is quite low, without the slightest rebelliousness.
Yang Sichang already had an appearance of the conquest strategy of the Wa State in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Wa State is going to be chaotic, so we can do things." ” As soon as Yang Sichang's voice fell, Qian Jinxiao came over and said in a low voice: "My lord, someone is coming from the other side of the country." ” Yang Sichang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Whose person is it?"
” "It's from a few feudal kingdoms, and there are people from Date."
Qian Jinxiao said in a low voice.
Yang Sichang was not surprised at all, and said, "You go to see it, and the price code will be pressed first, and give them a little pressure."
These people are riding the wall now, and it is not time for them to really surrender. ” Qian Jinxiao understood and said, "Xia Guan understands." ” Yang Sichang turned his gaze to that side and said, "Dolgon, is it about to land at this time, you notify the Military Intelligence Department, spread the word, and try to contact some big names, especially those who are outward." ” Qian Jinxiao raised his hand and said, "Yes." ” Yang Sichang held a silver saber in his hand, a symbol of his status, and his eyes burned.
He has been silent for too long, especially in the South China Sea for a few years, and many people have forgotten him.
This battle is destined to be an excellent opportunity for him to make a name for himself and re-enter the imperial court!
In this battle, it is necessary to win beautifully and cleanly!
Cao Bianjiao's fleet sailed into the strait of Shikoku Island, and at this time, there was a lot of noise on both sides of the strait.
The four feudal lords of Shikoku Island were taken aback, they never thought that they, who had always been on the sidelines, would be the first target to be attacked!
Qingshan Zhongjun in Black Cloud City quickly got the news, and his already cold face became more and more ugly.
Shikoku Island is 'lonely' overseas, and if you want to support, you must not only cross the strait, but also have a powerful fleet that can defeat the Ming Dynasty with artillery.
But the Wa Kingdom did not, and even if it did, it could not be taken out now.
This is just the beginning!
For Aoyama Tadatoshi, Shikoku Island is over, and the strongest Iyo Domain is only 400,000 stone high, and the four feudal clans together are only 800,000!
The samurai they can use add up to less than 10,000, but the territory is so vast that there is no way to defend it!
Most importantly, he didn't intend to save it, and he couldn't.
Yama County and Ichi looked at Aoyama Tadashi with a gloomy face, and said solemnly: "Palace, the Ming Dynasty does not play cards according to common sense, if Shikoku Island is lost, I am afraid that it will be a huge blow to our morale, and the public side will also be angry." ” Aoyama Tadashi looked up at him and said, "Shikoku Island will all fall in ten days at most, Itakura Shigema, what progress is there over there?"
” Shanxian and his face were ugly, and he said: "In the past four days, he has been slow, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. ” The little patience that Qingshan Tadashi had left was worn out by the news of Cao Bianjiao's fleet blockading Shikoku Island, his eyes were cold, and his murderous intent was boiling, and he said: "You tell him, give him another day, if he can't take Shimahara Castle, I will personally send him the last percent!"
” Disembowelment is a cruel method of disembowelment, many people do not reach the end, and someone needs to be stabbed in the back.
Shan Shan Kazuyi's face was also murderous, and he said, "Yes." ” Yama Kazuichi came to the outside of Shimabara Castle, looked at Itakura Shigemasa who was still attacking the castle 'unhurriedly', sneered in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Itakura Palace, Izu Mamoru let me tell you that by tomorrow at the latest, if you can't take Shimabara Castle, he will personally supervise the sentence." ” Itakura Shigemasa's face was ugly, he looked up at the towering Shimabara Castle, gritted his teeth, and said, "Turn around Izu Mamoru, I will definitely be able to take Shimabara Castle before tomorrow evening!"
” "It was better to do so!"
Yama Kazuichi sneered and turned to leave.
Itakura Shigemasa took a deep breath and said, "Call Zhonggong back." ” A samurai came out and said, "Yes." ” At this time, Maori Zhonggong was in the tunnel, anxiously urging, it has been almost four days, it stands to reason that such a short distance, so many people, has already been opened, but there are too many mountains and rocks, even if you find some water flows, gaps, you can speed up, but it is still too slow!
As if hearing footsteps from behind, Mori looked at the samurai who was still digging in front of him, and said coldly, "How far is it?"
” An old man walked over with the drawings, wiped his sweat, and said, "Palace, according to my estimate, there are still five hundred zhang at most, and it will take more than two days." ” The muscles on Maori Zhonggong's face jumped fiercely, and said: "I will only give you half a day, tonight, you must dig under the city wall, if you can't do it, you will all die!"
” "Yes, yes!"
A group of samurai agreed in a panic, their eyes full of fear.
At this time, the word finally came from Itakura Shigemasa that Itakura Shigemasa wanted to see Maori Tadagong!
Mori Tadagong returned to Itakura Shigema, and said stubbornly: "Palace, it will take another day to get through." ” Itakura Shigemasa was expressionless, looked at the towering and immovable Shimabara Castle, and said: "In the past three days, I have lost almost 20,000 people, if I wait another day, my people may not be as many as the people in the city, even if you get through, it is meaningless." ” Mao Li Zhonggong felt cold in his heart, and said: "Palace, there are too many underground mountain stones, and it is already the fastest speed, unless, unless you use huǒyào regardless of it." ” In fact, Itakura Shigemasa can also attack the city gate desperately, and he can also use huǒyào to blow it up, but in this way, the main battlefield is under the city gate, and the situation has changed slightly.
He wants to break through from the inside, completely disrupt Shimahara Castle, and attack inside and outside!
Itakura Shigemasa's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Maori Tadashi and said, "At most tomorrow at noon, if we can't do it, Izu Mamoru will let the two of us have a caesarean section together!"
” Maori Zhonggong's scalp tightened, his heart was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
” Itakura Shigemasa turned to Goto Mao and said, "Pull out all the artillery and bombard Shimahara Castle within a safe range, the bigger the movement, the better, day and night." ” Goto Mao was stunned and said, "In this way, will the rebellion in Shimahara be discovered?"

” Itakura Shigemasa looked cold and said, "I can't take care of it so much, let's go." ” "Yes."
Goto Manomichi.
Mori Tadashi knew the purpose of Itakura Shigemasa doing this, and also knew that this was a last battle, so he immediately said: "Yes!
” When Itakura Shigemasa was preparing for the last fight, Shiro Amakusa on Shimabara Castle frowned deeply and thought hard.
In the past few days, Itakura Shigema's attacks have been a bit 'pretentious', especially those cannons that obviously can't bombard the city, and from time to time they fire around the four cannons, as if they are testing something, and they seem to be hiding something.
But what it is, Itakura Shigemasa can't figure it out.
Shimabara Castle is built on the mountain, out of the main gate north gate, the other east and west gates are very small gates, in the middle of the mountain, the mountain road is rugged, it is difficult to walk, not to mention a large army.
Heizaburo said, "Bishop, I think they are looking for our weaknesses, and then they are rushing to the top. ” Amakusa Shiro nodded undeniably and said, "No matter what their purpose is, keep an eye on it, and if there is any situation, report it to me immediately."
There are also reserves, from now on, taking turns to rest, ready to go to the city at any time. ” Itakura Shigemasa has been testing for three days, no matter whether he finds the flaw in Shimabara Castle or not, the current situation does not allow him to continue to delay, the decisive battle is coming!
"Yes."
Heizaburo said in a deep voice.
Before Amakusa Shiro's words fell, the formation of the shogunate army slowly changed, and the army behind came up, and 40,000 troops surrounded Shimahara Castle, and only the remaining more than 20 artillery pieces were also pushed out.
Outside the city, artillery roared, and the ground trembled like an earthquake.
The samurai of the shogunate were advancing and retreating, so that the disciples on the city walls did not dare to relax at all.
Puzzled, Amakusa Shiro sat in the church, facing the statue of Jesus, praying silently.
He couldn't guess, so he had to wait.
Itakura Shigemasa suppressed the tension in his heart, sat on a stone with an expressionless face, and looked at the brightly lit Shimabara Castle, his eyes flickering coldly.
The daimyo have their own expressions, whether Itakura Shigemasa is dead or alive, they don't care at all, and the most important thing is that their retainers and samurai can't be sent to death in vain.
Maori was in the tunnels, it was cold and damp, but everyone was sweating profusely and staring ahead.
Accompanied by the sound of artillery fire outside, a small amount of zhàyào was used here, breaking the rocks in front of it or making a detour, looking for the fastest and closest way to quickly approach Shimabara Castle and enter.
To be covered outside, the bàozhà sound here, the tremor is completely masked, and they can move forward boldly with confidence.
As the sky grew dark, there seemed to be only the sound of cannons outside, but the tunnel was still cold, and the torches were connected, and they were still busy.
"Palace, there is a road, there is a rice here, we can save a lot of effort, we can get close to Shimabara Castle, as long as we blow up the foundation stone underground, we can enter Shimabara Castle without knowing it!"
The figure warrior's hands trembled with excitement and said loudly.
Maori Tadashi couldn't wait to rush forward, and sure enough, there were waterways, culverts, and zigzag in front of him, and he kept running forward until he reached the end, and pulled past the samurai holding the drawings, and said, "Where is the front, where is the front?"
” The drawing samurai calculated for a while, and said excitedly: "The hall, at most five zhang in front is the Shimabara city wall, and it is far away from the mountain, and it is a relatively flat section. ” Maori Zhonggong was even more excited, and said: "Keep digging for me, I'll go to the Itakura Palace, let the Xiyi cannon cover and blow up the city wall!"
” "Yes!"
A group of samurai replied loudly.
They were even more agitated because they didn't have to die.
When Itakura Shigemasa got the news, his expression became even more excited, and he said: "Mishima Mao, push the cannon forward and bombard the castle tower for me, at all costs!"
” "Yes!"
Mishima responded loudly, he knew that the final moment had come.
Mori Tadashi returned to the tunnel again, and as soon as they got through, their samurai would rush in and destroy Shimabara Castle from within!
Itakura Shigemasa looked at the flickering lights of Shimabara Castle, his eyes full of cold light, and turned to the Jinya of Tadashi Aoyama.
The shogunate army attacked in the dark of night, and even sent the only remaining artillery into the bombardment range of the artillery on Shimabara Castle, such an abnormal move made Shimabara Castle solemn.
Amakusa Shiro stood at the head of the castle, observing everything, his brows furrowed and his face indifferent.
Heizaburo stood beside him and said, "Bishop, Itakura Shigemasa is going to attack the city with all his might this time. ” Amakusa Shiro was very uneasy and did not answer.
Itakura Shigemasa had already suffered a big loss in Shimabara Castle last time, and he couldn't go back to the old routine, but what was their purpose?
Could it be that he found a flaw in Shimabara Castle?
Where is the flaw in Shimabara Castle?
The city walls are tall, and there are artillery and firearms to help, and the grain market in the city is enough to last for a year, and it is completely impregnable, unless he takes the initiative to go out of the city, how can he break through Shimahara City?
What exactly is Shigemasa Itakura going to do?
Heizaburo didn't think so much and said, "Do you want to knock out their artillery?"
Although spread out, the point is not difficult. ” Amakusa Shiro said: "Well, defeat it as soon as possible, and also, the whole city is under martial law, and the reserves are all mobilized and ready to fight!"
” "Yes!"

Heizaburo said in a deep voice.
The cannons of Shimabara Castle opened fire again, and the sound of the cannons was like thunder, and the sound of bàozhà was earth-shattering, and the inside and outside of the city trembled violently, drowning out all other sounds.
Listening to the movement outside, Maori Zhonggong sneered and said, "Fool!
Let's shoot, let's shoot, the bigger the movement, the better!
Quick, blast the walls for me, quick!
” A group of samurai prepared one after another, with outside cover, and they did it cautiously and boldly, and really began to blow up the cornerstone.
It didn't take long for them to really explode, and they dug inside, quickly and quickly, and here it was soft soil, and it was like a 'flat river'.
Under the cover of artillery fire, they did not have to worry about being discovered, so they dispersed three hidden exits and waited quietly. 3
