Domineering Daming

Itakura Shigemasu's expression was extremely ugly, he finally understood, why Aoyama Tadatoshi would protect him so many times along the way, and kept saving him, all he was waiting for was today!

—Let him go to die obediently and complete this plan!

Itakura Shigemasa's eyes flickered, and his heart surged.

He doesn't want to die, but he can't refuse Aoyama Tadatoshi, or rather, Aoyama Tadatoshi has a lot of ways to make him unable to refuse!

Seeing Itakura Shigemasa's changing expression, Aoyama Tadatoshi said: "Let's go tonight."

Itakura Shigemasa's eyes were cold, the corners of his face twitched, and his heart was tangled like a knife. After a long while, he finally bowed stiffly and said, "Hayi!"

Qingshan Zhongjun nodded indifferently, and said: "Listen to me to tell you the detailed plan, you should keep it in your heart, keep it in your mind, and don't trust anyone."

Itakura Shigemasao already had the will to die, and his mind was gloomy, and he listened indifferently.As for the aftermath, he had arranged this kind of thing several times before.

Aoyama Tadatoshi pointed to the dotted picture and began to teach Itakura Shigemasa little by little.

As a person who came from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's era, he has too much experience. Even when facing the Ming army with artillery advantages, naval advantages, and strategic advantages, he is still calm and composed.

After Itakura Shigemasa listened, it was already late at night, and he took only 100 people to hang from the back side of the Kanmon Fortress, and quietly left the Kanmon Strait under the sound of gunfire and the night.

Chapter 1375 Advice on Advance and Retreat

While Qingshan Zhongjun was planning, Dorgon and others were also discussing.

Zuo Liangyu has been very prestigious recently. He led Huashan Jiushou, Heitian Zhongzhi and other Japanese servants to sweep the Jiuguo Island and strangled all the resistance forces. For this, the commander-in-chief even rewarded him rarely.

Zuo Liangyu seemed to see the dawn of returning to the mainland, and was the first to speak: "Your official believes that after three days of bombardment, the army immediately attacked the city, blasted the city gate with gunpowder, and the army swarmed up. This fortress must be broken if not broken! "

The Japanese warriors in Zuo Liangyu's hands came from Jiuguo Island and Shikoku Island, with a number of more than [-].I didn't finish my words, but the meaning was naturally that these Japanese servants should go first.

Dai Shan could hear it, but he didn't think that Zuo Liangyu's 2 people could break through the closed fortress. In the end, it was their Jurchen army.

Facing 8 people and being strangled in the fortress again, the loss is unimaginable.

Therefore, Dai Shan shook his head resolutely, and said: "It's not enough, don't underestimate Qingshan Zhongjun."

Qian Jinxiao, the head of the staff office, looked at the crowd and said, "Our staff office has made a plan. There will be [-] cannons tomorrow, which is enough to shake the entire Guanmen Strait. At the same time, we will mobilize the internal response and try to take the opportunity to burn down Qingshan Zhongjun's granary. !"

Zuo Liangyu's eyes brightened at this, and said: "This method is good, but it shouldn't be easy. Qingshan Zhongjun will definitely guard against it."

He Xilian, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, said at this time: "The last time the Chungqing bombarded the fortress, Itakura Shigesho learned his lesson and built three iron walls of granaries, and half of them were underground. Although the bombardment was avoided in this way, the terrain is narrow. , airtight, if it is filled with kerosene, it will be impossible to save..."

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Qian Jinxiao continued, "Also, we don't need to burn all of them, as long as we burn one, it will be enough to break the morale of the closed fortress. When the time comes, the army will storm the closed fortress, and the closed fortress will surely collapse!"

Obviously, the staff office already had a careful plan. Everyone listened, but they couldn't find any flaws, and the feasibility seemed to be very high, so they all turned to Dorgon.

Dorgon was a little fatter, leaning on the chair, turning the wrench in his hand, his eyes dim, and after a while, he said hoarsely: "Okay, don't delay, as soon as the cannon arrives tomorrow, immediately blast the city, and the military intelligence department will contact the fortress immediately. , Those lists of the Emperor of Japan, some people can use them."

This list is strictly confidential, except for Qian Jinxiao, only Dorgon knows about it.

"Yes!" Qian Jinxiao and He Xilian replied in a deep voice.

Both sides are planning, and the atmosphere of war in the Kanmon Strait continues to grow.

The closed fortress was bombarded by the Ming army for a day and a night, and there were ruins and ruins everywhere, with smoky smoke and dilapidated atmosphere.

The shogunate samurai inside were well hidden, and they only came out occasionally to clean up, and they were on guard carefully.

The artillery of the Ming Dynasty did not stop for a moment, but suddenly stopped after noon.

The vigilant warrior raised his head and observed the outside of the city, especially the artillery formations everywhere. Soon he looked shocked and reported in a hurry.

Qingshan Zhongjun soon came to a hidden watchtower and picked up the binoculars.

On a high slope a few miles outside the city, the Ming army's formation was expanding, and flags were erected.

Although it was blurry, Tadatoshi Aoyama shrank his pupils and turned to the other three places.

A daimyo behind him said in a heavy tone: "Izumoru, we have checked carefully. The artillery reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived, and there may be nearly [-] pieces!"

Three thousand and one thousand, not only two thousand more math problems, three thousand cannons are enough to carry out a carpet bombing of the fortress, even though the fortress was built according to the Ming Dynasty model, most of them are cement Very, but even so, it can't stand the long-term indiscriminate bombing.

What's more, there are still [-] troops eating and drinking, and they should at least sleep, rest, right?

There were many people standing behind Tadatoshi Aoyama, all with ugly faces.

The closed fortress can't hold 8 people at all. If it really encounters carpet bombing, how many people will die in the artillery fire. How long can this fortress last?

Seeing that Takatoshi Qingshan was silent, the other daimyo said, "We know about three places where the Ming people ambushed soldiers, and the others are unclear."

The meaning of this is very clear. It is impossible to go out of the city to fight. The Ming people have dug a trap clearly, so don't even try to attack their artillery.

Tadatoshi Aoyama was still watching. Looking through the binoculars, the artillery formations of the Ming army were changing and arranged more tightly. The wooden boxes of artillery shells were piled up towards a hill.

This is a reckless bombardment of the closed fortress.

If this is the case, the closed fortress may not last long.

Qingshan Zhongjun didn't speak, and the people behind him were very disturbed.

The third person who spoke was a retainer of the Qingshan family. He said: "Dian, why don't we withdraw from the fortress and use the fortress as a battlefield to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army. In this way, we can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. There is a strait to block us." , the artillery of the Ming Dynasty can't exert its power, and it is easier for us to hold on to the other side..."

The biggest threat they encounter now is the artillery of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of artillery, not to mention the traditional defense of the Japanese country, cannot be completely stopped even by the solid fortifications made of cement in the Ming Dynasty. Over time, it is inevitable to break the city .

Going to the other side of the Guanmen Strait can eliminate the threat of artillery and more effectively prevent the Ming army from advancing eastward.

When everyone heard this, their expressions became brightened, and they all opened their mouths to support.

"Izumori, this is a way. If we fight with the fortress, we may not lose, and we can't let the Ming army continue to bomb like this..."

"When you get to the other side, you don't have to worry about the navy of the Ming Dynasty, and you can directly get support from the shogunate..."

"As long as the threat of the Ming army's artillery is eliminated, we will be sure of victory..."

Every word you say to me is to persuade Qingshan Zhongjun to retreat to the other side. The reasons are quite solid, well-founded, and very appropriate.

Aoyama Tadatoshi put down the binoculars, turned his head and glanced at them, seeing their expectant expressions, without speaking, he turned his head again.

He was very clear about these people, but he couldn't retreat, not even a single step!

Taking this step back will really break the morale of the army and retreat people's minds.

Facing the powerful offensive of the Ming Dynasty, Tadatoshi Aoyama was equally anxious. It was impossible to defeat the Ming Dynasty head-on, so he had to find another way.

And hurry up, you can't wait, people's hearts are floating now, and you can't delay.

Seeing that the cannons of the Ming Dynasty were about to fire again, Tadatoshi Aoyama turned around and said, "I have a plan, follow me."
