Chapter 1379 Different minds
On the other side, Shigemasa Onakura was hidden in a small valley. There were only a thousand people behind him. He climbed out of the hillside carefully every time and hid here after all his hardships.
Shigemasa Itankura observed the Ming army camp, observed the closed fortress, his face full of gloom.
Don’t say that the army is on high alert and there is no possibility of sneak attacks. Even if there are, what can a thousand people do?
A guard was beside him and suddenly said, "Dian, the Ming army may have to attack the city with all its strength."
Shigemasa Itakura had already seen that the entire Ming army was gathering and preparing for a full-scale siege.
Another retainer looked at it with a restless look and said, "Dian, do we want to do something?"
Ichikura Shigemasa looked back at him, and this one immediately shrank back.
They only have more than a thousand people, what can they do? It is not enough for the Ming army to get stuck in their teeth.
Hiromasa Itakura thought more than they thought. Tadatsushi Aoyama's suicide attack method could not be defended in the end. If this fortress is broken, where will they go?
Once this fortress was broken, the island of the country was exposed to the iron hoof of the wise king. The shogunate had mobilized 300,000 to this battle, how many more could it be summoned?
The Ming Dynasty had sharp artillery and strong army. What should the shogunate use to guard it?
If... the shogunate is defeated, what should they do? What should he do if he has arranged his funeral?
Ichikura Shigemasa's eyes flashed for a while, suppressing the ups and downs of his retainers and continuing to hide here.
The Ming army's offensive was quite rhythmic, and the 50,000 Jurchen army still remained unmoved, all of which were all servants.
These soldiers had limited combat power and were deliberately controlled. They shouted and stopped their attacks before noon.
This scene made the fortress close to the door and was very nervous, and they knew very well what the Ming army was planning.
Tadatsutsu Aoyama used the most severe means to suppress all the rebound sounds in the pass.
Even so, some people were still uneasy and handed over the words to express their deep concerns.
Tadatsutsu Aoyama made up his mind to defend himself and bought time for the whole country of Japan. Regarding these ideas, he just said lightly: "I am an 80,000 army, defending the danger. Unless the Ming army has wings and flew from the sky, how can I break it? The food and grass collected by the shogunate will arrive within five days. What are I afraid of?"
This sentence is simply impeccable. The city is under control and the support is stable. What is the reason why they can't defend it?
But these high-sounding words cannot deceive these long-standing Daming, and they are well aware of the dangerous situation facing the closing fortress.
Even if the shogunate could collect more food and grass, their losses would be unimaginable in the face of the Ming Dynasty's cannons that were constantly going on day and night!
Most of these great names came with thousands or hundreds of people. This loss was extremely heavy and unacceptable to them.
What's more, the shogunate now has all methods to recruit samurai from their vassal states, with food and supplies. The deeper the hands, the longer they are. Even if they can go back alive, the vassal states will be gone!
Tadatsushi Aoyama could naturally see the thoughts of these people and comforted him again: "The shogunate has formulated a strategy for rest and recuperation and will not treat the vassal states harshly, don't worry."
These words cannot comfort these daimyos at all. Since Tokugawa Iemitsu succeeded to the throne, Tokugawa Ieyasu's established policies have been eliminated and can be said to be "extremely humiliated" to the various vassal states.
Now they are no longer there, and there is another big event. It is a hell that the shogunate does not take the opportunity to control their vassal states!
Aoyama Tadatsushi arranged shogunate warriors staring at their necks. There were more than a dozen heads hanging outside the formation house. The blood was not dry. Everyone felt countless complaints in their hearts, but they did not dare to say it. They had to bite the bullet and obey Aoyama Tadatsushi.
Tadatsuto Aoyama suppressed the internal rebound and continued to adjust the deployment to ensure that the Ming army was blocked outside the fortress gate.
In the evening, Inoue poured a cup of tea for Aoyama Tadatsushi and said cautiously: "The palace has been cleaned up. In the past few days, 7,000 people have been killed in battle, 5,000 people have been killed by the bomb, and 20,000 people have been injured in big and small. If this continues... I am afraid I won't last long."
Tadatsuke Aoyama took a sip of tea and said, "Although the Ming army suffered less losses than us, the Ming army will not be less. Their main force has not yet moved. If our 80,000 people can defeat them for 40,000, then we will also win."
When Inoue listened to his words, his face tightened and said, "Dian, is it really so dangerous? Do you want to do this?"
Tadatsuto Aoyama glanced at him and explained seriously for the first time: "The reason for this is that, first, the Ming Dynasty's navy, second, the artillery, and third, we are island countries. These conditions limit us. If we want to defeat the Ming Dynasty, we can only seek to win in one battle, but not into a hard battle. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not mean to be at all costs, so we still have a chance of winning. If the Ming Dynasty mobilized a large army again and landed on a certain place in the national island, we would be quite passive. On the side of the Heiyi Island, the Ming army's 60,000 troops did not move, just waiting for the Guanmen Strait to break. Once the Ming army crossed the Guanmen Strait, the 60,000 troops on the Heiyi Island would also move. This is not the most terrifying... When the Ming army crossed the Guanmen Strait, the national island would inevitably be in turmoil, and it would be difficult for the shogunate to control the situation."
Inoue seemed to see some terrible scenes, and was cold all over, saying, "Dian, are you saying that those daimyos may betray the shogunate?"
Tadatsuto Aoyama's eyes were cold, and he picked up the teacup and sneered: "Who is there any other person who is truly surrendering to the public, let alone the emperor's edict gave them an excuse. If they were sure that they could overthrow the shogunate, how could they hesitate?"
Inoue was cold all over and said decisively: "Dian, we must never let the Ming army cross the strait!"
Tadatsuto Aoyama nodded slightly and said, "You should be optimistic about them and don't let them add **. Among these people, those who are loyal to the Emperor."
Inoue kowtowed suddenly and said, "Hayi!"
Without the Ming army's bombardment, the fortress at night was rarely as stable as it was, and she was busy cultivating good deeds, resting and adjusting.
At this time, Duoduo's 10,000 cavalrymen were already at the Fengqian vassal and walking on the secret passage.
While walking, Tadaichi Kuroda explained to Dodo, saying, "Sir, this is a small path for smuggling and smuggling. It is a place where we trade with pirates. Outsiders don't know. But the road is difficult to walk, so we have to climb mountains and bypass several cliffs..."
Duoduo waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense, just lead the way."
Kuroda Tada responded quickly and led the way. Perhaps it was too embarrassing, or was trying to please the younger brother of the general. Kuroda Tada said again: "The back of the closed fortress is quite vast, and there is no way to build a city. As long as we touch it, we can easily enter. At that time, attack on both sides, Aoyama Tadatsu will inevitably be defeated..."
Duoduo didn't like this Kuroda Tada, so he snorted coldly and said, "How could I not know what you said? Take the lead."
"Yes, yes!" Kuroda Tadao seemed to know that Duoduo didn't like chatting, and this time he really led the way seriously.
