Domineering Daming

Itakura Shigemasa got the news, his expression became more excited, and he said: "Masao Mishima, push the cannon forward and bombard the tower for me, at all costs!"

"Yes!" Masao Mishima responded loudly, he knew that the final moment had come.

Mori Chugong returned to the tunnel again, as long as they got through here, their samurai would rush in continuously, dismantling Shimabara Castle from the inside!

Itakura Shigemasa looked at the flickering lights of Shimabara Castle, his eyes were full of icy cold light, and he turned to Aoyama Tadatoshi's battle house.

The shogunate army attacked in the dark, and even sent the only remaining cannons into the bombing range of the cannons on Shimabara Castle. Such abnormal behavior made Shimabara Castle dignified.

Amakusa Shiro stood at the top of the city, observing everything, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his face was indifferent.

Standing beside him, Heisaburo said, "Bishop, Shigemasa Itakura is going to attack the city with all his strength this time."

Amakusa Shiro was very disturbed and did not answer.

Itakura Shigemasa had already suffered a big loss in Shimabara Castle last time, so he couldn't continue to follow the old routine, but what was their purpose?Could it be that he found a flaw in Shimabara Castle?

Where is the flaw in Shimabara Castle?

The city wall is tall, with artillery and firearms to help. The grain market in the city is enough to last for a year. It is completely impregnable. Unless he takes the initiative to leave the city, how can he break through Shimabara Castle?

What on earth is Shigemasa Itakura going to do?

Heizaburo didn't think too much, and said: "Do you want to destroy their artillery? Although it is scattered, it is not difficult at all."

Amakusa Shiro said: "Well, destroy them as soon as possible, and the whole city is under martial law, and all the reserve forces are mobilized, ready to fight!"

"Yes!" Heisaburo said in a deep voice.

The cannons of Shimabara Castle fired again, the sound of the cannons was like thunder, the sound of the explosion was earth-shattering, and the inside and outside of the city trembled violently, drowning out all other sounds.

Mao Lizhong, who was underground, listened to the movement outside, sneered again and again, and said: "Idiot! Fire the cannon, fire the cannon, the louder the movement, the better! Quick, blast the city wall for me, quick!"

A group of warriors prepared one after another, with the cover outside, they did it cautiously and boldly, and really started to blow up the cornerstone.

It didn't take long before they really exploded and dug in. The action was fast and quick. The soil here is soft and it's like "a flat river".

With the cover of artillery fire, they didn't have to worry about being discovered. They spread out three secret exits and waited quietly.

Chapter 1337

As the tunnel was opened, or in other words, the sky was getting brighter, Shigemasa Itakura's shogunate army began to reduce the pace of attack, and even began to retreat.

Goto Masao looked at only a few intact Xiyi cannons, and there was no heartache on his face, but a smile on his face.

He ordered all the samurai to rest, and completely ignored Shimabara Castle, not afraid of them going out of the city to attack.

Itakura Shigemasa went to see Tadatoshi Aoyama and has not returned yet. The daimyos don't know what happened, but they are still very happy to be able to rest.

On Shimabara Castle, Amakusa Shiro watched the actions of the shogunate army, his brows were like frozen ice, which could not be melted away.

Heizaburo really felt something was wrong this time, and said: "Bishop, what exactly is Itakura Shigemasa trying to do? This is not here to attack the city at all, it seems to be just a show. Could it be that they have internal strife?"

Amakusa Shiro looked at the shogunate army who was about to bask in the sun, and a rare irritability appeared on his face.

He still couldn't figure out what Itakura Zhongchang was going to do. Such a fortified city was well protected by guns, and the city had enough soldiers and provisions. Unless he left the city, how could he be defeated?

He couldn't figure it out himself, let alone Itakura Shigemasa's purpose.

Looking back at the congregation struggling up and down the city wall, he said, "Arrange some people to rest, and others to be on guard, especially the city gates, you must be careful."

Heizaburo said: "Yes!"

Amakusa Shiro still didn't dare to relax, staring at every move on the opposite side through the telescope, still thinking in his heart.

Time passed slowly, and the shogunate army did not attack again, and the silence was a little abnormal.

Amakusa Shiro felt more and more uneasy, but he didn't dare to act rashly, maintaining his existing posture, watching every move of the shogunate army.

Before noon, Heisaburo came over with a solemn expression, and said, "Bishop, reinforcements are coming. It seems that Shigemasa Itakura is going to attack us with all his strength."

Amakusa Shiro became more and more uneasy, and couldn't think of what to do, so he could only say: "Let brothers and sisters pay attention, don't relax."

"Yes." Heisaburo said solemnly like never before.If the shogunate attacks with all its strength, they don't know how many brothers and sisters will die.

At this time, Tadatoshi Aoyama and Shigemasa Itakura had already arrived in front of the army, looking in the direction of Shimabara Castle.

The reason why Tadatoshi Aoyama came was because Shigemasa Itakura was absolutely sure to capture Shimabara Castle and solve their troubled place.

Aoyama Tadatoshi sat cross-legged on the ground, and said calmly: "The Ming Dynasty has sealed off Shikoku Island, and will launch an attack soon. I will attack Kagoshima in five days."

He didn't mention the Shimabara Peninsula in his words, obviously he didn't take it to heart at all.

Itakura Shigemasa understood what he meant, and said, "Don't worry Izumori, today, I will level Shimabara Castle!"

Aoyama Tadatoshi looked at Shimabara Castle, and said: "We don't know the plan of the Ming Dynasty, but we must settle down first, eliminate the threat of Jiuguo Island, and we will win half the battle."

Itakura Shigemasa was taken aback, "Half?"

Qingshan Zhongjun said: "I will add [-] troops to you, and I want Christianity to disappear in my Japanese country."

Seeing that Tadatoshi Aoyama refused to say more, Itakura Shigemasao bowed and said, "Yes!"

Itakura Shigemasa strode away, taking the 2 people allocated to him by Tadatoshi Aoyama, his strength was nearly [-] in an instant, and with a wave of his hand, the three sides of Shimabara Castle were completely blocked.

Mori Tadakaya, Mishima Masao, and the other daimyos all knew about the secret way now, gearing up, and began to rub the knives in their hands in the same hatred.

Mao Li said respectfully: "The temple is ready, I have prepared 5000 people, and they will enter through the tunnel!"

Masao Goto said: "The gunpowder has been prepared, enough to blow open the north gate. From the inside to the outside, Shimabara Castle will be destroyed!"

The so-called fortresses are breached from the inside, this sentence, at this time, is vividly expressed.

Itakura Shigemasa's heart swelled, and the resentment he had suppressed for many years was finally released at this moment. He drew out his knife and shouted in a deep voice, "Half an hour, attack!"

"Yes!" A group of big names followed suit, and they were equally excited.According to the rules, after the city is broken, whoever grabs the things in the city will belong to them, including slaves and women!

At the top of Shimabara Castle, not only Amakusa Shiro, but Heizaburo and others were nervous, and all the believers also felt a sense of awe hanging over the castle.

Standing beside Amakusa Shiro, Heisaburo said solemnly, "Bishop, Shigemasa Itakura is going to attack by force?"

Amakusa Shiro kept the telescope in front of his eyes all the time, and said, "It looks like it, but I'm always uneasy."

Heisaburo trusted Amakusa Shiro so much that he couldn't figure it out, so it was not a normal situation.

Heizaburo said: "Then, I will transfer everyone to the third door, and I will block them!"

Amakusa Shiro put down the binoculars, and said: "No, the reserve army is transferred to the nearby area to provide support nearby. Smoking is banned in the city, and no one is allowed to walk around at will. Other things remain unchanged."
