On the other side, Shigemasa Itakura, hidden in a small valley, with only a thousand people behind him, carefully climbed out of the hillside every time, and hid here with great difficulty.
Itakura Shigemasa observed the Ming army camp and the fortress of the closed gate, his face full of condensation.
Don't say that the army is heavily guarded, there is no possibility of a sneak attack, and even if there is, what can a thousand people do?
A guard beside him suddenly said, "Palace, this transfer of the Ming army may be going all out to attack the city." ” Itakura Shigemasa has already seen that the entire army of the Ming army is gathering and preparing for a full-scale siege.
Another retainer looked at it, looked uneasy, and said, "Temple, are we going to do something?"
” Itakura Shigemasa glanced back at him, and this one suddenly shrank back.
What can they, just over a thousand people, do?
It's not enough for the Ming army to stuff their teeth.
Itakura Shigemasa is more than they think, Aoyama Tadashi's zìshā style of play, in the end, will not be able to hold this fortress, if this fortress is broken, where will they go?
As soon as this fortress was broken, the island was exposed to the iron hooves of the Ming monarch, and the shogunate had mobilized 300,000 people before and after this war, how many more could be recruited?
The Ming Dynasty had sharp artillery and a strong army, so what did the shogunate take to defend it?
If......
The shogunate is defeated, what should they, the shogunate ministers, do?
What should he do about the aftermath that he has already arranged?
Itakura Shigema's eyes flickered for a while, suppressing the ups and downs of his retainers' emotions, and continued to hide here.
The offensive of the Ming army was quite rhythmic, and the Jurchen army of 50,000 still did not move, all of them were various servant armies.
These soldiers had limited combat strength, and with a deliberate control, they withdrew their troops before noon and stopped the attack.
This scene made everyone nervous at the Guanmen Fortress, and it was very clear what the Ming army was planning.
Tadashi Aoyama used the harshest means to suppress all the backlash voices in the Kannai.
Even so, some people were uneasy and handed over the words, expressing deep concern.
Aoyama Tadashi made up his mind to defend and buy time for the Japanese country, and for these thoughts, he just said lightly: "My 80,000 army, defend according to the danger, unless the Ming army flies from the sky, how to break it?"
The grain and grass collected by the shogunate will arrive within five days, so what am I afraid of?
” This sentence is simply invulnerable, the fortified city is defended, and the support is stable, what reason do they have for not being able to hold it?
But these high-sounding words could not deceive these battle-hardened daimyos, who were well aware of the dangerous situation faced by the Closed Gate Fortress.
Even if the shogunate could collect more grain and grass, in the face of the Ming Dynasty's cannons that kept going around the clock, their losses would be unimaginable!
Most of these big names came with thousands of people, and this loss was extremely heavy and difficult for them to accept.
What's more, the shogunate is now using all means to recruit samurai from their vassal country, grain and grass, and the deeper and longer the hand, even if they can go back alive, the vassal country is afraid that it will be gone!
Aoyama Tadashi naturally saw the thoughts of these people, and reassured again: "The shogunate has already formulated a strategy for recuperation and recuperation, and it will not treat the feudal kingdoms harshly, so you can rest assured." ” These words could not appease these daimyo in the slightest.
Since Tokugawa Iemitsu succeeded to the throne, he swept away Tokugawa Ieyasu's established policies and said that he was 'extremely humiliating' to the feudal states.
Now that they are no more, it is a big event again, and it will be hellish if the shogunate does not take the opportunity to control their feudal kingdoms!
Aoyama Tadashi arranged shogunate samurai everywhere to keep an eye on their necks, and there were more than a dozen human heads hanging outside the formation house, and the blood stains had not dried, and everyone had countless slanders in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, so they had to obey Aoyama Tadashi's orders.
Aoyama suppressed the internal backlash and continued to adjust his deployment to ensure that the Ming army was blocked outside the fortress gate.
In the evening, Inoue poured a cup of tea for Aoyama Tadashi, and said cautiously: "Palace, clean up, in the past few days, there are 7,000 people killed in direct battles, 5,000 killed by explosions, and 20,000 injured and injured, so go on like this......
I'm afraid I won't last long. ” Aoyama Tadashi took a sip of tea and said: "Although the Ming army has lost less than us, the Ming army will not be less, their main force has not moved, if our 80,000 people can fight them 40,000, then, we will also win." ” Inoue listened to his words, his face tightened, and he said, "Temple, is it really so dangerous?"
To this extent?
” Aoyama Tadashi glanced at him, and explained seriously for the first time: "The reason why this is the case is that the navy of the Ming Dynasty is the navy, the second is the artillery, and the third is that we are an island country.
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not mean to do anything at any cost, so we still have a chance to win, and if the Ming Dynasty mobilizes a large army again and lands directly somewhere on the island of our country, we will be quite passive.
On the side of Ezo Island, the 60,000 troops of the Ming army did not move, just waiting for the Guanmen Strait to break.
Once the Ming army crosses the Guanmen Strait, the 60,000 troops on Ezo Island will also move, which is not the most terrifying......
When the Ming army crossed the Kanmon Strait, the island would inevitably be turbulent, and it would be difficult for the shogunate to control the situation. ” Inoue seemed to see some terrible pictures, and his whole body was cold, and he said, "Temple, you mean that those daimyo may betray the shogunate?"
” Aoyama Tadashi's eyes were cold, he picked up the teacup, and sneered: "In addition to the pro-feudal domain, who is really subservient to the public side, not to mention, that edict of Tiānhuáng gave them an excuse, if they are sure that they can overthrow the shogunate, how can they hesitate?"
” Inoue was cold, and said decisively: "Palace, you must not let the Ming army cross the strait!"
” Qingshan Zhongjun nodded slightly, and said: "You are optimistic about them, don't let them cause trouble, among these people, there are people who are effectively loyal to them." ” Inoue kowtowed violently and said, "Hayi!
” Without the bombardment of the Ming army, the fortress at night was rarely stable, busy repairing, resting, and adjusting.
At this time, Duoduo's 10,000 cavalry were galloping, and they had already arrived at the Fengqian Domain, and they were taking that dark road.

Kuroda Tadaichi explained to Duoduo as he walked, "My lord, this is a small road for smuggling and smuggling, and it is a place where we trade with pirates, and outsiders don't know about it.
But the road is not easy to walk, and you have to climb the mountain and go around a few cliffs......"
Duoduo waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense, just lead the way." ” Kuroda Tadayuki hurriedly responded and buried himself in leading the way.
Maybe it was too embarrassing, or it was to please the younger brother of the chief soldier, Kuroda Tadashi said again: "The back of the fortress is quite vast, there is no way to cast the city, as long as we touch it, we can easily enter it, and when the time comes, Aoyama Tadashi will inevitably collapse......"
Duoduo didn't like this Kuroda Tadayuki, snorted coldly, and said, "How can I not know what you said, hurry up and lead the way." ” "Yes, yes, yes!"
Tadayuki Kuroda seems to know that Duoduo doesn't like small talk, and this time he really led the way seriously.
