The war will never follow the planning step by step. Zuo Liangyu vowed to the Satsuma clan, and Tadatsushi Aoyama had already crossed the Guanmen Strait and arrived at the Black Cloud City thirty miles from Shimahara Castle.

Ichikura Shigemasa looked at Shimahara Castle, which seemed to be close to him, and his eyes were cold.

Tadatsuto Aoyama's face was as iron as an eagle, and he put down the telescope in his hand and said, "I have a total of 120,000 samurai in my hand, and I have to be 70,000 on Kagoshima. I will only give you five days. If you can't take Shimahara in five days, you can have a caesarean section."

Ichikura Shigemasa had no way out and said, "Yes!"

Tadatsutsu Aoyama didn't say anything anymore and turned around and entered the formation room.

Shigemasa Itakura led dozens of vassal lords and an army of 50,000 to reach Shimahara Castle.

The city of Shimahara had been in full swing and was ready for war.

Shiro Amakusa was eighteen years old, wearing a red chief cannon, holding a silver staff, wearing a pig's foot nameplate, standing at the top of the city with a calm expression, standing in the wind.

The red robe on his body, the nameplate on his chest, and the silver staff in his hand were not in the European style, nor from the Holy See, but from the Cathedral of Light in the Shenlong Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Heizaburo came up from downstairs with a happy look on his face and said, "Angel, we are ready."

Amakusa Shiro looked up slightly and said, "From today, call me the Bishop."

Heishabato didn't care and said with a smile, "Yes, Bishop. I have sent the assistance from the Celestial Empire. Our fortifications and food have been prepared long ago. Even if the shogunate besieged us for two or three years, we can hold on!"

Two or three years have passed since the Battle of Shimahara, and Shimahara Peninsula has been all over Amateraku Shiro. His territory has become larger and his population has increased. In recent years, he has developed as many as 30,000 believers!

These people will fight to protect Shimahara, the city of God!

What's more, the believers in other parts of Japan have long been massacred, and they have to fight the shogunate to survive.

Amakusa Shiro knew that the shogunate would return and had been preparing for the past few years. With the help of the Ming Dynasty, Shimahara Peninsula had accumulated considerable strength, especially in defending the city!

Amanku Shiro looked at the dark hill in the distance, as if he had seen the shogunate army, with a calm and plain expression and said, "Tomorrow, cannons, arrows, throw half of your hands, give them a head blow first to lay a foundation for morale."

Amakusa Shiro showed amazing abilities in the last battle with the shogunate. Heizaburo and others trusted him very much and said, "Yes, angels, the shogunate also sent someone to discuss peace talks. How can we talk?"

Amana Shiro's merciful eyes just now showed a strong murderous intent, and said coldly: "They have killed so many of us sisters and sent the head back!"

Heishabaru suddenly looked angry and said, "Yes."

Amakusa Shiro looked at the tall city wall, and there were black cannons on the city wall, and he was full of confidence and said, "Let's check it again, there must be no spies in the city!"

"Yes!" Heizaburo responded and strode away.

Early the next morning, Shigemasaki Ichikura's army arrived not far from Shimahara Castle. This time there was no siege, but just a look at it from a distance.

Beside him was his retainer, Tadagogawa, and he was as thin as a bamboo pole.

Shigemasa Itakuran hated Shimahara Castle to the core, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Tadokyo Maori was very good at observing his words and expressions, saying, "District, when we break the city, we must kill all these heresy to relieve the hatred in our hearts!"

Ichikura Shigemasa did not show off his verbal advantage and said, "What are you going to take Shimahara Castle in five days?"

They had already discussed it before, and Shigemasa Itakura asked this question, obviously it was a better way.

Tadokyo Maori approached and said, "Dian, I have hidden a lot of people in it. At the critical moment, they can open the city gate, and Amakusa Shiro and the others will definitely not be able to find it. At that time, we will rush in and kill everyone."

Shigemasa Itakura said: "You can underestimate Amakusa Shiro. This method cannot deal with him."

Tadaoki Mori said: "Then draw water to flood the castle. Shimahara Castle is located in a depression. As long as you attract enough water, you can flood the castle of Shimahara!"

Hiromasa Itankura pointed to the front and said, "Amakura Shiro was prepared for a long time. Have you seen that? The Ming people called it the moat, just to prevent flooding the city."

Tadokyo Mori looked a little embarrassed and said, "Dian, if that happens, there is only one way to attack."

Shigemasa Itankura glanced at the other vassal lords and said, "Go, take two hundred people and dig tunnels from both sides of the east and west."

Tadokyo Mori was stunned and said, "The temple is built around the mountains, with rocks everywhere, and it is impossible to dig through. It is difficult not to be noticed. It is completely..."

Tadokyo Maori didn't finish speaking, and he understood the meaning very clearly. This method was completely useless.

Hiromasa Itankura sneered and said, "You can only be surprised if you think so. Don't worry, I brought the Fran machine cannon I bought from Xiyi. When I encountered a stone, I would blow up the stones and open the mountain. I will provide you with a good cover."

Tadokyo Mori understood what Itakura Shigemasa meant and said, "Yes!"

The victory and defeat of Itankura Shigemasa was pressing on this. After explaining, his heart was filled with anger. He looked at the top of Shimahara Castle with the flag floating, his eyes were as cold as a deep pool, and he said in a deep voice: "Half an hour later, attack!"

"Yes!" The group shouted.

Amakusa Shiro stood at the top of the city, with a more solemn look in his calm eyes.

Heishabashiro said: "Biography, the shogunate army does not siege the city or attack, what are they doing?"

Amakusa Shiro said: "Is the church members a little unstable?"

Heizaburo said: "Yes, I've been nervous for a long time, and I'm trying my best to comfort me."

Amakusa Shiro said: "This is their conspiracy. Tell the church members not to relax, not to be overly nervous, just wait with peace of mind."

"Yes." Heizaburo said. He did not wear a tutor, but was wearing a Ming-style armor, and the weapons in his hand were also Ming-style long swords.

As time passes by little by little, morale seems to be shifting, but the tension between the two sides continues to condense, as if the war will begin in the next moment!

Finally, with the order of Hiromasa Itakura, the artillery that Japan bought from Europe was slowly pushed out, and a group of iron artillery soldiers stepped forward.

Ichikura Shigemasa was standing not far away, his face was cold.

He didn't press all over, only 20,000 people.

Amakura Shiro saw that Shigemasa Itankura finally moved, and felt relieved. Cannons also pushed out of the wall, and there were many artillery soldiers trained in the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers on the fort were holding a telescope and watching the every move of the Shigemasaki army on the island, and the flag soldiers kept waving.

Obviously, both sides were very cautious and slowly tempted, waiting for each other to enter the war distance.

Amakushiro on the city tower looked at the approaching shogunate army, with a cold expression.

The shogunate army obviously has not been idle in the past few years. These troops are far better than in previous years, and they also have Western artillery.

"Prepare."

Amakusa Shiro stood up the silver cane in his hand without any fear.
Chapter completed!
