Chapter 1380 Pressure is like a mountain
The next morning, the Ming army's 70,000 troops were directly behind the front of the gate-closed fortress and made a full attack. Three thousand cannons were raised high and stared at the gate-closed fortress like monsters.
However, he did not attack immediately, but seemed to pounce on the next moment.
The fortress was closed and nervous. I don’t know how many Japanese samurai were hiding at the city wall and waiting nervously.
Tadashi Aoyama came to the city rarely, looking coldly outside the city. Behind him was a daimyo with a pale face and a flashing look.
Tadao Toshi Aoyama looked at it, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, slowly turning it, and the corners of his face twitched slightly.
He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would really attack the city at all costs, which was not consistent with his speculation. And the Ming army should not, either, they could not afford to lose.
‘Has the Ming army increased its troops?’ Tadaosuke Aoyama said to himself, his eyebrows were deeply locked.
If the Ming army increases its troops, it will be really dangerous to close the fortress, and the war will burn to its own island.
The daimyo behind him was worried about themselves. If the Ming Dynasty had taken advantage of the cost of attacking the city, with their current morale and food, the city would be destroyed in ten days. Once the city was destroyed, not only would they die here, but their vassal states would also be annexed by the shogunate!
Everything is gone!
They were determined to resist, but the warriors holding swords behind them dared not move, felt uncomfortable, fearful, and uneasy, but could not vent their anger and did not dare to breathe.
There were more than 100,000 troops on both sides. In a quiet confrontation, a tense atmosphere filled the world, and a faint smell of blood overflowed.
Dorgon rode a horse and sat in front of the army, wearing military armor, with a calm expression and a violent look.
Daishan, Mandahai and others beside him were all like this. Time could no longer allow them to slowly explore it. No matter whether Duoduo could find a way to go around, they would attack him.
Dorgon did not rush to attack, but was just putting pressure on the fortress closed and did not really want to attack.
Even when it was lunch time, Dorgon's army was still strict and attacking from time to time, which made the shogunate army in the city dare not raise a stove and stare at the Ming army outside.
Such a confrontation was not over until the evening when the Ming army retreated the troops.
"The front army does not move, the rear army will rest!"
Tadao Toshi Aoyama's tone was cold, preventing the army from relaxing. The front army still stood firmly in front of him and could not rest and eat.
This naturally caused countless complaints, but no one could resist, so he had to do as he said.
On the other hand, Dorgon was defending people to prevent sneak attacks, and the army was resting.
Dorgon's camp didn't bother to eat, and looked at Qian Jin hungryly and said, "How long will Duoduo arrive?"
Qian Jinxiao was not a military general, so he kept holding hands in the camp. He listened and said, "According to the map drawn by Tadyuki Kuroda, it is only two hundred miles away. The rugged road is only a short section, galloping day and night, and it should be possible to arrive tomorrow night at the latest."
Dorgon frowned, full of resentment, waved his hand and said, "Does there any orders from the Grand Governor?"
Qian Jinxiao said, "No, the Grand Governor and the General's Mansion are waiting for us to break through the closed fortress as soon as possible."
The fortress closed was a gate blocking the Ming army. As long as this gate was pushed open, everything would be easy.
Yang Sichang and the general's mansion were so calm that Dorgon was uneasy. He took a deep breath and waved his hand.
Qian Jinxiao raised his hand and said with a retreat. Dorgon sat on the chair, his eyebrows were locked and his eyes were constantly changing.
Dai Shan came over and said in confusion: "Didn't you just care about the attitude of the Ming emperor before? Why do you care about Yang Sichang and the General's Mansion?"
Dorgon looked up and pressed his nameless anger against his chest, saying, "After all, we belong to the General Administration, and the war has been delayed for a long time. If those people take the opportunity to rectify us, as long as the standards are appropriate, Zhu Youxu will not refuse to take the opportunity to hit us."
Daishan suddenly understood and said, "Then we have paid so much, wouldn't it be of no benefit to lose money for nothing, and we will be punished?"
"I'm not worried about this,"
Dorgon picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and felt a lot more comfortable in his chest, saying, "We have an unstable foothold in Phnom Penh. The Ming Dynasty sent Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, and Yu Chenglong to help us manage. After a long time, it would not be helpful."
Dai Shan was enlightened and said suddenly, "You mean that the Ming Dynasty would use the same trick again and leave us on this deserted island?"
Dorgon nodded indifferently and said, "You and I know that the reason why the Ming emperor kept us was to treat us as a knife. If we were damaged, he would make up for us appropriately."
Dai Shan sat down at Dorgon's head, his face changed for a while, and he said, "What should I do?"
They are knives and have no right to choose, but they must save themselves, otherwise what awaits them is destruction.
Dorgon took a deep breath and said, "There is no way to break through the Guanmen Strait as soon as possible and destroy Japan. The dissatisfaction of the Ming emperor will accumulate to the severity of punishment for us."
Dai Shan understood, didn't say anything, but his face was as deep as water, and his heart felt sad.
His Ama founded the Jin Kingdom and fought south and north, so he was so energetic. Now, they are so down and out!
Dorgon didn't say much, and did not hide the anxiety on his face and the boredom on his eyes in front of Dai Shan.
Dorgon's army was resting and preparing for the upcoming siege.
In the fortress closed, Tadatsutsu Aoyama was very uneasy about the Ming army's further failure to fight. The Ming army had already set up a strong attack, but did not move. It was obviously a conspiracy, and this conspiracy would be very fatal!
Tadao Aoyama knelt at the table, looking at the map on the table, his face feeling slightly solemn.
“What the hell is it?”
Tadao Toshi Aoyama stared at the map, unable to figure it out.
Inoue in front of him said respectfully: "The palace, the villain believes that there are only three ways to break through the fortress, one is in heaven, one is underground, and the other is to attack with force. There is no other way."
The fortress closed was built by the shogunate for three years. It is the closest distance between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. If you want to bypass here and enter the other side, it will take more than ten days more. The other side has also been arranged, so it is impossible to bypass here and land on the local island.
Tadatsuto Aoyama nodded slightly and said nothing.
He agreed with Inoue's words, so he was puzzled. The map in front of him was quite detailed, there were no other paths, and there was no place to cross.
He has been watching for many days, and today he is very serious and still can't find another way.
‘What exactly should the Ming army do?’ Aoyama Tadaosuke asked himself in his heart.
It is impossible in the sky, and he blocks the ground. Is it a forceful attack?
The Ming army really has reinforcements, aren’t they afraid of paying the price?
Tador Aoyama couldn't figure it out, and he felt more and more uneasy, and there was a hint of pale on his dark blue face.
Inoue looked and said, "Dian, please take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tadatsutsu Aoyama suddenly started to cough, and then became quite intense. He lay on the table and trembled with the table.
