As the tunnels were opened, or rather, the sky grew brighter, Itakura Shigemasa's shogunate army began to slow down the pace of the attack, and even began to retreat.
Goto Mao looked at the only few intact Xiyi cannons, and there was no heartache on his face, but a smile.
He ordered all the samurai to rest, completely ignoring Shimabara Castle, not afraid of them going out of the castle to sneak attack.
Itakura Shigemasa went to see that Tadashi Aoyama hadn't come back yet, and the daimyo didn't know what was going on, but they were still happy to be able to rest, and they took their own retainers and samurai with them, and each took possession of one place.
On Shimabara Castle, Amakusa Shiro watched the movements of the shogunate army, his brows were like condensed ice, and he couldn't melt away.
Heizaburo really felt that something was wrong this time, and said, "Bishop, what does Itakura Shigemasa want to do?"
This is not here to siege the city at all, as if it is just for show.
Could it be that they have infighting?
” Amakusa Shiro looked at the shogunate who looked like he was about to bask in the sun, and a rare look of irritability appeared on his face.
He never figured out what Itakura Shigemasa was going to do, such a strong city, and it was protected by artillery, and the soldiers in the city were well fed, unless he went out of the city, how could he be defeated?
He couldn't figure it out himself, and he couldn't figure out Itakura Shigemasa's purpose.
Looking back at the struggling cultists above and below the city wall, he said, "Arrange for some people to rest, and others on guard, especially the city gates, you must be watchful." ” Heizaburo said: "Yes!
” Amakusa Shiro still didn't dare to relax, staring at every move on the other side with the telescope, still thinking freely in his heart.
Time passed slowly, and the shogunate army did not attack again, and the silence was somewhat abnormal.
Amakusa Shiro felt more and more uneasy, but he did not dare to move, maintaining his existing posture and watching every move of the shogunate army.
Before noon, Heizaburo came over with a solemn expression and said, "Bishop, reinforcements are coming, it seems that Itakura Shigemasa is going to attack us with all his might." ” Amakusa Shiro became more and more uneasy, and he couldn't figure it out, so he had to say, "Let the brothers and sisters pay attention, don't relax." ” "Yes."
Heizaburo is unprecedentedly dignified.
If the shogunate attacked with all their might, they didn't know how many brothers and sisters would die.
At this time, Tadashi Aoyama and Shigemasa Itakura had already arrived in front of the army, looking in the direction of Shimabara Castle.
The reason why Tadashi Aoyama came was because Itakura Shigemasa had already taken Shimabara Castle with absolute certainty and solved their troublesome place.
Aoyama Tadashi sat cross-legged on the ground and said lightly, "The Ming Dynasty has blocked Shikoku Island, and it will attack soon, and I will attack Kagoshima in five days." ” He didn't mention the Shimabara Peninsula in his words, and he obviously didn't pay attention to it at all.
Itakura Shigemasa understood what he meant, and said, "Don't worry, Izu Mamoru will raze Shimahara Castle today!"
” Aoyama Tadashi looked at Shimabara Castle and said, "We don't know the plan of the Ming Dynasty, but we first want to Annai and eliminate the threat of Kyukoku Island, and we will win half of the victory." ” Itakura Shigemasa was stunned for a moment, and said, "Half?
” Aoyama Tadashi said: "I will give you 20,000 additional troops, and I want jīdūjiào to disappear in my country." ” Seeing that Tadashi Aoyama refused to say more, Itakura Shigemasa bowed down and said, "Yes!"
” Itakura Shigemasa strode away, taking with him the 20,000 people that Aoyama Tadashi had allocated to him, and his strength was nearly 60,000 in an instant, and with a wave of his hand, the water surrounding Shimabara Castle on three sides was impassable.
Mori Tadashiko, Mishima Mao, and Ichikan Daimyo now knew about the secret passage, and they began to rub the knife in their hands with the same hatred.
Maori Zhonggong said, "The hall, everything is ready, I have prepared five thousand people to kill from the tunnel!"
” Goto Mao said: "Huǒyào is ready, enough to blow up the north gate, from the inside out, Shimahara Castle will be broken!"
” The so-called fortresses are all breached from the inside, and this sentence, at this time, is vivid.
Itakura Shigemasa's heart swelled, and the resentment that had been suppressed for many years was finally issued at this moment, he pulled out his knife and shouted in a deep voice: "Half an hour, attack!"
” "Yes!"
A group of daimyo followed, and they were equally excited.
According to the rules, after the city is broken, whoever grabs the things in the city will belong to whom, including slaves and women!
At the head of Shimahara Castle, not only Amakusa Shiro, Heizaburo and others were nervous, but all the disciples also felt a solemn aura enveloping the castle.
Heizaburo stood next to Amakusa Shiro and said in a deep voice: "Bishop, is Itakura Shigemasa going to attack?"
” The Amakusa Shiro telescope was always blocked in front of him, and he said, "It looks like it, but I'm always uneasy." ” Heizaburo trusts Amakusa Shiro very much, and he can't even think it through, so it's not an ordinary situation.
Ping Saburo said: "Then, I will transfer everyone to Sanmen, and I will block them to death!"
” Amakusa Shiro put down the binoculars and said, "No, transfer the reserve army to the vicinity, you can support nearby, quit smoking in the city, no one is allowed to move around at will, and the rest remains the same." ” This is the only way to respond to change.
Heizaburo nodded and said, "Okay." ” Heizaburo was just about to leave, and Amakusa Shiro said again: "Bring all the firearms to the city, ...... today It's the last battle. ” Hei Saburo's face changed slightly, and he said fiercely: "Yes!"
” Both sides regard today as a decisive battle and are preparing for the strongest.
Time passed little by little, and it was soon noon, which was the time for dinner, but neither side had this mind, staring at each other's every move, and they didn't dare to take it lightly.
Outside Shimabara Castle, Itakura Shigemasa looked up at the sun that was not blazing, and the weather was somewhat gray, and he slowly raised his knife.
The people around him were nervous, their eyes were cold, and their evil spirits were gradually revealed.
"Attack!"
Itakura Shigemasa waved his knife fiercely and shouted loudly.

With Itakura Shigemasa's order, many daimyo also swung their swords and rushed forward in person with various samurai.
Spread all over the mountains, there were 30,000 people, heading towards the north gate of Shimahara Castle, vigorously killing.
"Kill!"
Shouting and killing is shocking, murderous like a cloud!
Amakusa Shiro's eyes were cold, and he also waved his silver staff and said, "Fire!"
” The cannon immediately burst into flames, and shells bloomed everywhere, rolling up countless smoke, smoke, and screams.
But these warriors were many times more heroic than the previous day, and they went straight to the city gate to kill.
"Arrows, throwers!"
The corners of Shiro Amakusa's face moved, and he waved his scepter again, shouting in a deep voice.
The north gate of Shimahara Castle was crowded with people, and arrows and arrows were scattered like rain, desperately sprinkling down.
The screams were completely drowned out in the bàozhà, and the severed limbs and blood were buried in the smoke and dust.
Shimabara Castle, which was originally peaceful, turned into Shura Hell in the blink of an eye, and I don't know how many lives were taken.
Itakura Shigemasa turned a blind eye to these, and there was a look of joy and madness on his face.
Tadashi Aoyama sat further back, not paying attention to Shimabara Castle, immersed in black and white.
As the fight continued, Shiro Amakusa became more and more uneasy.
Heizaburo said, "Bishop, Itakura Shigemasa wouldn't really want to attack like this, would he?"
” This is simply the behavior of a fool, and Itakura Shigemasa is naturally not a fool.
"He must be hiding something by doing this......"
Amakusa Shiro's eyes flickered, still calm, and said, "What is the movement of the other two gates?"
” "No, besiege but not attack."
Heizaburo said.
Amakusa Shiro looked back at the quiet city, hesitated, and said, "Transfer another 3,000 people to the two gates." ” "Yes."
Hei Saburo's expression was extremely solemn, and he hurriedly went.
Not long after Heizaburo went downstairs, suddenly, there was a fierce shouting of killing in the city.
A group of shogunate troops have already rushed to the north gate to kill them!
Amakusa Shiro's face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Block them, don't let them come up!"
” There was a panic in the city, and Hei Saburo turned back and took people to block the underground passage.
Maori Zhonggong dug three passages, and the 3,000 people he led continued to go out of the ground, and the strategy was very clear, all of them were killed at the north gate.
"Kill!"
Mori Tadashi held the iron cannon, fired a shot and threw it down, holding a katana, and rushed forward desperately.
The other two groups of people wantonly shouted and killed, impacted, and stirred up chaos in the Shimahara City, and there were even people everywhere who rose up in the wind.
Heizaburo had already panicked, and with people wanted to block Maori Zhonggong and block the passage, but in the small city, every move was very troublesome, not to mention the shouts of killing were everywhere, and everything was chaotic. boom At this time, a shocking bàozhà sound suddenly sounded at the north gate, and the entire Shimabara Castle seemed to tremble.
Heizaburo looked in the direction of the north gate and looked shocked.
Amakusa Shiro already knew what Itakura Shigemasa was doing these days, and he didn't care about anything else, so he directly ordered everyone to gather at the east gate and prepare to fight to the death.
The city gate could no longer be guarded, and he chose to give up decisively.
"Kill!"
The shogunate army came in from the north gate and fought with the broken Jīdūjiào disciples.
Not long after, the entire Shimabara Castle seemed to be fighting, the fire was like a dragon, the smoke was billowing out, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.
Itakura Shigemasa watched the north gate being opened, his eyes were cold, and with a wave of his hand, all the troops pressed up.
"Chickens and dogs don't stay!"
This sentence was shouted among all the shogunate troops, the katana was blood-red, and the corpses were everywhere.
Not long after, the east and west gates were also blown open, and the shogunate army rushed in like water.
In a camp house at the West Gate, Heizaburo's face was covered with blood, and he said with great grief: "Bishop, what should I do?"
The shogunate is going to slaughter the city, and no one will let us live!
” Amakusa Shiro's silver scepter was still in his hand, but his body had already been dyed red, his eyes were resentful, and he blamed himself in his heart, at this time, he couldn't let him think too much, and said: "I hid the boat by the river, tell my brothers and sisters, kill from the west gate, board the boat, and we will go to the Celestial Empire." ” Hei Saburo hesitated for a while, and said, "Then, what about the other brothers and sisters?"

Those ships took up to two hundred people, and besides, the shogunate wouldn't let us go. ” The hatred in Shiro's eyes seemed to be burning, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We will come back to avenge them!"
Reinforcements from the Celestial Empire will arrive today, and they will protect us from boarding the ship. ” Heizaburo understood that Shiro Amakusa had prepared for the worst.
But he resolutely said, "Angel, I can't go, I want to go to God with my brothers, and I want to ask him why he abandoned us, why did he let the devil succeed!"
” Amakusa Shiro had a pain in his eyes and didn't speak.
"Kill!"
Heizaburo turned around and walked out of the camp house and killed the shogunate army again.
These jīdūjiào knew that surrender was death, and they took up arms and fought desperately, and the entire Shimabara Castle was like a slaughterhouse, screaming one after another, but it didn't stop at all.
Heizaburo deliberately blocked the enemy for Amakusa Shiro and made him run out from a corner of the West Gate.
"Don't let one go!"
Someone saw Amakusa Shiro fleeing with someone and immediately chased after him.
Amakusa Shiro desperately ran forward.
His heart was full of hatred, and blood was dripping from his eyes.
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing in Shimabara Castle seemed to be unstoppable, and I didn't know if it was the shogunate army or those cultists.
"Die!"
Suddenly, one of the cultists roared, pulled out a grenade from his waist, and hugged a shogunate samurai.
The shogunate samurai was terrified and struggled desperately, and the katana stabbed wildly.
The disciple didn't let go at all, and spat blood from his mouth. boom shǒuliúdàn exploded, stumps and broken arms, broken clothes flew wildly, and there was nothing left in place.
"Die!"
The believers who saw this recruitment followed suit.
The sound of bàozhà came and went, and it sounded throughout Shimahara Castle.
Itakura Shigemasa had already walked towards Shimabara Castle, listening to the sound of bàozhà inside, his brows jumped desperately, and his face was quite ugly.
He originally thought that it would not take much trouble to take Shimabara Castle, but looking at this movement, there would be no fewer people to lose.
If it's a pyrrhic victory, it's almost the same as a defeat!
On the other side, Amakusa Shiro had already run to the shore, and the chasing samurai were about to approach, and out of nowhere, several ships appeared, and the cannons on them suddenly opened fire, bombarding the shogunate samurai who were chasing them.
Amakusa Shiro breathed a sigh of relief, took the people, and quickly got on the ship, and he got on the Ming Dynasty warship.
"There's General Law."
Amakusa Shiro looked at the worship in front of him, and raised his hand to learn the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.
Ao Bai smiled and said, "The bishop is polite, go, I'll send you to the Shenlong Mansion, where there are jīdūjiào disciples like you." ” Amakusa Shiro was defeated, and countless disciples were killed, which happened too quickly, and it was difficult to calm down for a while, so he could only nod with a wry smile.
Aobai's task is to pick up the defeated Amakusa Shiro, and it will be useful to rule the Wa Kingdom in the future, but as for Shimabara Castle, he doesn't care.
The warships of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese warriors on the shore couldn't catch up at all, and could only watch Amakusa Shiro and more than a hundred people being rescued.
Heizaburo was still fighting, and Itakura Shigemasa entered Shimahara Castle, looking at the corpses everywhere, and there was no joy in his heart.
When I heard that Amakusa Shiro was rescued by a battleship of the Ming Dynasty, I didn't feel bad in my heart.
This battle did not stop completely until the evening, sitting in the formation house of Amakusa Shiro, Itakura Shigemasa listened to the report, his face was gloomy as water.
"Fifty thousand strangled and three thousand prisoners?"
Itakura Shigemasa looked at Maori Tadagong and said coldly, "You can fool me?
I just want to know, how much did we lose?
” Maori Zhonggong's scalp was numb, and he also knew that the matter was serious, so he had to say, "These heretics would rather die than surrender, we ...... 20,000 dead, more than 20,000 wounded......"
Although it had been expected, this number still made Itakura Shigema's heart sink.
He borrowed 70,000 people from Tadashi Aoyama, and in this way, he lost more than half!
What will the public do with him?
