Domineering Daming

Itakura Shigemasa glanced at the direction of the east and west doors, and said coldly: "Don't stop, 2 people, all of them will be pressed against me!"

Masao Goto originally wanted to intercede again, but seeing Itakura Shigemasa's murderous face, he agreed and stepped forward to supervise the battle.

If he doesn't go, I'm afraid those halls will intrigue with each other, and they will not work hard, and the dead friends will not die.

Indeed, as he had imagined, the faces of the Ming people on the front line were all sinking, watching their own warriors go forward to die, and they didn't know what it was like.

In particular, some foreign daimyos are the targets of the Tokugawa shogunate's efforts to suppress and eradicate them!

But the shogunate warriors were behind them, holding swords, and they couldn't resist.

On the cannon tower at the head of the city, Amakusa Shiro observed everything inside and outside the battlefield, and said in a deep voice: "Bring back the cannons and cut them off!"

The cannons on the city gate withdrew from the shogunate artillery array and bombarded the middle of the shogunate army that was coming like a tide.

Boom boom boom!

Cannonballs scattered in all directions, creating large craters in the open ground, and bloody corpses were mixed in the smoke.

But even so, the shogunate army rushed forward, set up the newly-made ladders, quickly climbed the wall, and smashed the door with a battering hammer.

Obviously, the shogunate has not slackened over the years, and the research on Shimabara's surveillance has never stopped.These are not things that appeared in the War of Japan. Now, they have all of them, and they are still very skilled.

Amakusa Shiro was expressionless, waved his silver stick, and said, "Throwing hand!"

Rows of Christians in armor went upstairs, throwing grenades like crushed stones towards the city.

The shogunate army was almost powerless against the towers, and the "firepower" was completely suppressed, with almost no power to fight back.

Such a scene is like a slaughterhouse. The shogunate army rushed over like a huge millstone, dripping with blood and mutilated.

Itakura Shigemasa's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip ink. He had expected that Shimabara would be difficult to attack, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult!

This is like a child holding a toothpick to fight an adult, except for being beaten, there is almost no way to fight back!

Masao Goto was terrified, how could such a war be fought?Unless these Christians are led out of the city, or trapped inside, there is no other way!

He ran back, looked at Itakura Shigeshang and said, "Itakura Hall, really can't go on attacking, otherwise the [-] warriors will die under the city!"

Itakura Shigemasa didn't know how, but he just had to persist and cover up his plan.

"Go on, slow down a bit." Shigemasa Itakura said in a trembling voice.

Masao Goto looked at Shigemasa Itakura, gritted his teeth and turned his head to supervise the battle.

But the daimyo behind Itakura Shigemasa who brought the soldiers had rather ugly faces, whispering from time to time, not knowing what they were talking about.

Outside the east gate, Maori Zhonggong was already in a deep tunnel, and in front were busy warriors, they were digging, passing, going everywhere, and constantly advancing.

If they encounter stones, they will use a small amount of explosives to explode or make a detour, constantly digging forward.

Mao Li Zhonggong was very anxious, and kept urging to hurry up, hurry up, and hurry up again.

In Heiyun City, Qingshan Zhongjun kept listening to the reports from outside, his already ashen face became more and more ugly.

He knew that Shimabara Castle was assisted by the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect that these firearms would have such power.

Let alone [-], even [-] may not be able to attack!

So, what about the Satsuma Domain in Kagoshima?Can his army of [-] be captured?Where is the place that the Ming Dynasty has personally operated for five or six years!

Chapter 1335 Battle of Shikoku Island

Shigemasa Itakura knew Shimabara Castle better than Tadatoshi Aoyama, so he didn't try to lure Amakusa Shiro out of the city, nor did he intend to be trapped to death, let alone attack desperately.

Most of these Christians are farmers, as long as they rush into the city, he has the confidence to completely strangle this group of rioters!

Therefore, on the surface, 2 people are attacking the city vigorously, but what he hopes in his heart is two secret paths.

As for the Satsuma domain in Kagoshima, it has never been considered by Shigemasa Itakura.

Amakusa Shiro stood at the top of the city. Even though he had Ming's firearms to help him, the 2 people's desperate siege still put him under a lot of pressure. There was already a stalemate on the top of the city.

Heizaburo was not in a hurry, he stood beside Amakusa Shiro, and said doubtfully: "Bishop, why do I feel that something is wrong."

Amakusa Shiro had discovered it a long time ago, and said: "It stands to reason that Itakura Shigesho should besiege the city and then attack it by force, but he didn't. Moreover, the 2 people seem to be attacking violently, but they always feel weak. It seems that there is still room left. .”

Heizaburo thought for a while and said, "Is this a test?"

Amakusa Shiro shook his head, and said: "Itakura Shigemasa is not a fool, he must have done this to cover up his real purpose, let Simen observe carefully, and report any clues to me."

Heisaburo immediately nodded and said, "Yes."

Itakura Shigemasa naturally hid his strength. He stood on a high slope, looking at the top of Shimabara Castle, and controlled the rhythm.

Amakusa Shiro did not use his power either, and the "stalemate" at the head of Shimabara Castle was more like a temptation to each other.The Shogunate didn't go any further, and Amakusa Shiro didn't force them all down.

This battle seemed quite strange.

At the same time, Kagoshima soon received news that Zuo Liangyu and Huashan were waiting for a long time to discuss.

Hua Shanjiu's Chinese characters are now correct, and he said: "Master Zuo, Itakura Shigesho's [-] troops are attacking Shimabara, should we support it?"

Zuo Liangyu has gradually calmed down over the years, not as flustered as he was when he was exiled at the beginning. Looking at the map, he said: "Qingshan Zhongjun's tens of thousands of troops are standing at the door of the house. If you want to deal with them, you have to deal with them first."

Hua Shanjiu stopped talking for a moment, they only had 1 people, how could they deal with the [-] troops of the shogunate?

Zuo Liangyu continued to look at the map, and said: "According to Governor Yang's plan, the navy will soon enter the strait between Shikoku Island and Honguo Island, and then Dorgon's [-] troops will land. What we have to do is Hold Kagoshima, wait for the army to conquer Shikoku Island, and counterattack Kukoku Island!"

Zuo Liangyu could understand Yang Sichang's purpose. Taking Shikoku Island had multiple purposes. First, it was to deter the shogunate and weaken their will to resist.Second, consume the spirit of the Kyugoku Island Shogunate Army.Third, I also want to test it out and see the true strength of the shogunate army.

Huashan said for a long time: "Then, we can't just sit still, should we make some noise to attract Aoyama Tadatoshi's eyes, lest he send troops to support Itakura Shigemasa?"

Zuo Liangyu was silent for a while, and said: "Withdraw all our troops and the surrounding personnel to Kagoshima, fortify the wall and clear the field!"

The Satsuma domain is not a small peninsula, and the core Kagoshima is a peninsula in the middle of the lake, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Hua Shan was taken aback for a long time, and said, "My lord, what is the meaning of this?"

Zuo Liangyu stood up and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just to put some pressure on Qingshan Zhongjun."

There are 3 Japanese servants in Kagoshima, [-] Korean and Ryukyu allied forces, and scattered samurai from the Satsuma Domain. They all poured into Kagoshima together, and there may be more than [-] people.

Although Kagoshima has been preparing for many years, money and food are always a problem, not to mention that it is still a lonely city.

Hua Shan hesitated for a while, but said without any objection, "Yes."

For the Tokugawa shogunate, Shimabara Castle was considered a civil strife, which could easily be resolved with a little effort. The real trouble was the Satsuma Domain in Kagoshima, which was conquered by the Ming Dynasty and they had not yet freed up to clean it up.
