Three days later, Dolgon's army finally broke through Uto Castle.
This result was the result of Dorgon's army also participating in the attack, and naturally suffered a lot of losses.
Annoyed and ashamed, Duoduo led a large army to rampage through Uto County, but anyone who resisted the slightest defense was killed, and the bloody slaughter quickly expanded, spreading out of Uto County, and Dolgon's army killed directly at Kumamoto.
Dolgon and Zuo Liangyu's army combined with nearly 70,000 troops, swept through the entire fat domain, and the cavalry attacked everywhere, killing excessively, but they never found Aoyama Tadashi's army of 50,000.
Dolgon and other systems have changed, and hurriedly repaired the book to Yang Sichang.
When Dolgon's letter arrived on Tsushima, another piece of news arrived.
Qian Jinxiao and He Xilian stood in front of Yang Sichang's case with solemn expressions.
"My lord, judging from the monitoring of the Guanmen Strait, at least 30,000 people have entered the side of Kyukoku Island, which belongs to Itakura Shigemasa and is dispatched, and the purpose is unknown. ” The Ming Dynasty had eaten a lot of troops step by step, and there had never been a big move, and now Jiuguo Island has been fully controlled by the Ming army, but it has transferred troops from its own island, what is the Japanese country going to do?
Qian Jinxiao's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and he said: "Governor, perhaps, the true purpose of the Wa Kingdom is about to be revealed. ” The reason why it is solemn is because once the plan of the Japanese state is revealed, it may be the most dangerous moment for the Ming army.
Yang Sichang looked at the map in front of him, his brows furrowed, they had been speculating on the purpose of the Wa Kingdom, but they had not found it until now.
He Xilian looked at Yang Sichang and reminded: "My lord, if the Guanmen Strait Fortress increases its troops, Li Dingguo will not only work in vain, but will be in danger. ” Qian Jinxiao saw that Yang Sichang still didn't speak, and said, "My lord, the opinion of the General Staff Office is that Dolgon will quickly go north and form horns with Li Dingguo to prevent the danger of annihilation......"
Yang Sichang stared at the map, didn't speak for a long time, and without waiting for Qian Jinxiao to finish speaking, he said directly: "Order: Li Dingguo continues to bombard, order Zuo Liangyu and Huashan Jiushou to lead the army south, sweep away the resistance forces in all parts of the Japanese country, and Dolgon is stationed in Kumamoto, and must not act rashly!"
” Qian Jinxiao and He Xilian both looked at each other, and then glanced at each other, Qian Jinxiao said, "My lord, will it be dangerous like this?"
” There were 50,000 Dolgon, 10,000 Li Dingguo, and more than 100,000 Japanese shogunate troops!
Yang Sichang stood up, his face was calm, and said, "No matter what the purpose of the Tokugawa Shogunate is, we can only respond to all changes with the same!"
As long as Dorgon's nail is still on Kyukoku Island, we won't lose anything.
Command Ezo Island to attack southward and continue to put pressure on the Wa Kingdom!
” Qian Jinxiao listened, stood up violently, and said, "Yes!"
” Seeing this, He Xilian said: "My lord, we still have a lot of eyeliner in the Japanese country, and there are many big names who have taken refuge in us, even if they are still grass on the wall, they can also take advantage of it, do you want to move the military intelligence department?"
” Yang Sichang said: "It's not time yet, by the way, what's going on in Edo?"
” He Sai said: "The information that has just come is that the shogunate's troops have surrounded the Imperial Palace, which has caused a lot of shock in the Wa Kingdom, and some people are taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and Tokugawa Iemitsu has killed a lot of people. ” Yang Sichang was not surprised, and said: "Pay attention to it, it is related to my Ming Dynasty's plan to rule the Wa Kingdom, and the tiānhuáng of the Wa Kingdom cannot have anything to do!"
” "Yes!"
He Xilian, Qian Jinxiao responded loudly.
The order of Tsushima Island quickly spread, and the Ming army on Kyukoku Island moved quickly, and Zuo Liangyu, Kayama Kumori, and the surrendered troops of the various vassal states swept the entire Kyukoku Island.
Li Dingguo's artillery bombardment rhythm in the Guanmen Strait fortress continued to intensify, and with the support of dànyào, thousands of cannons poured dànyào unscrupulously, as if to raze the fortress to the ground.
The 10,000 people of Heitian Zhongzhi have arrived and obeyed Li Dingguo's orders.
Hei Tian Tadashi observed for several days, and finally found Li Dingguo, and said very seriously, "My lord, I suspect that Itakura Shigemasa may have to make a move. ” Li Dingguo's telescope was observing the fortress of the Guanmen Strait, and when he heard this, he was stunned, turned his head and said, "How do you know?"
” Hei Tian Tadayuki said seriously: "There is a sign before the shogunate army acts, that is, they will collectively swear to the army, although they are doing it covertly, but they are already doing it.
This means that they will soon be in action. ” Li Dingguo listened to his words, thought about it, and said for a long time, "You mean, Itakura Shigemasa will go out of the city?"
” Hei Tianzhong bowed down and said, "Yes."
I suspect that Tadashi Aoyama is not far away, and they are about to join forces. ” Li Dingguo was expressionless and said, "Then you say, what will they do next?"
” The villain suspects that their target is Dolgon, and as long as they cut off Dolgon, they will not be a threat. ” Li Dingguo looked at him, did not speak, and shook his head secretly in his heart.
If Aoyama Tadashi wants to fight a decisive battle with Dolgon, there is a chance, and there is no need to delay until now, not to mention that it is still when the Ming army has an absolute advantage and morale is high.
Li Dingguo thought about the situation on Jiuguo Island, and considered the war situation of the entire Japanese State as a whole, and his eyebrows were full of puzzlement.
He encountered the same problem as Yang Sichang and others, what is the purpose of sacrificing so much of the Wa Kingdom?
If you want to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, you don't need to twist like this, but if you don't fight a decisive battle, how can you win this battle?
Li Dingguo couldn't figure it out, stared at this fortress again, thought for a long time, and said, "What do you think we should do now?"
” Hei Tianzhong's way: "My lord, set up an ambush!"
Although Itakura Shigemasa has 60,000 people, he only dares to use 30,000 at most, and we have 20,000 people, so we have a great chance of defeating it!
” Heitian Tadashi has considerable confidence in the combat power of the Ming army, after all, Li Dingguo used 10,000 people not long ago to defeat the 30,000-strong Itakura Shigesho!
Now they have artillery, they have more people, they have ambushes, there is no reason why they can't win!
Li Dingguo judged the level of Heitian Zhongzhi in his heart, thought for a while again, and said, "Order, stop the shelling."
The artillery emplacements were withdrawn, and the location of the ambush was changed. ” "Yes!"
Li Dingguo's lieutenant general and Hei Tianzhongzhi and others responded in a deep voice.
Itakura Shigemasa is also very familiar with their arrangement, and since Itakura Shigemasa is going out of the city, they naturally have to deal with it.

Just when Itakura Shigemasa was secretly taking the oath, in the Kanmon Strait, in a hidden harbor, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was meeting a person.
The patriarch of the Tokugawa family, the lord of the Katsuyama Domain, Masakatsu Naito.
This person is an absolute confidant of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and he is even higher than Matsudaira Nobutsuna.
The appearance of this person indicates that Tokugawa Iemitsu's attention to this war has been raised to another level.
At the same time, Aoyama Tadashi's army of 50,000 arrived at Hirado Castle in the Hizen Domain without realizing it!
This is the northernmost part of Kukoku Island, one east and one west of the Kanmon Strait.
No one knows how Tadashi Aoyama did it, how he avoided the eyes and ears of the Ming Dynasty, and avoided the inspection of those feudal lords who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty!
