To their disappointment, Tadatoshi Aoyama was not in Shimabara Castle, and Tadayuki Kuroda moved quickly and entered the Chikugo Domain. At this time, his army had expanded to 2000 people.

The Chikugo Domain was so small that Yanagawa Castle couldn't even be called a castle. After sweeping, the army marched eastward and invaded the Bungo Domain.

Perhaps it has been so long, Bungo Domain has prepared, Otomo's resistance is fierce, Kuroda Tadayuki was ambushed and lost more than 200 people.

Kuroda Tadashi did not retreat, the whole army attacked at night, broke through Hita City, and the army directly marched towards the inner city of the feudal city.

The road was unimpeded, Kuroda Tadyuki set up an formation outside the city, and then attacked.

The Otomo clan was not a vegetarian, and had planned for a long time. There were more than 2000 samurai and ten thousand people in the city, and under the defense of the city with all their strength, Kuroda Tadashi couldn't help but feel anxious for a long time.

Kuroda Rilong looked at Funei City and said, "Dian, if we can't take it down for so long, I'm afraid the general of the Celestial Dynasty will have ideas that will affect your future status."

Kuroda Tadayu naturally knew it, and said coldly, "What can you do?"

Kuroda Lilong glanced at the others, and said, "I visited Vice Admiral Qian yesterday and saw them training in artillery. They are extremely powerful. Can we borrow them?"

Kuroda Tadyuki looked at Fuuchi Castle which was close at hand, and was only one step away from taking down the Five Northern Kingdoms. His eyes were beating coldly, and he said, "Okay, I'll talk about it!"

Qian Binli did not refuse Kuroda Tadashi's request and sent him thirty cannons.

Thirty cannons were placed not far from the gate of the mansion. The sound of the cannons was like thunder, and the shells fell one by one, making the whole city of the mansion tremble.

With the assistance of artillery, Kuroda Tadyuki's 3000 men finally broke through Funai Castle, and a tragic and long-term strangulation occurred.

In the end, it was Kuroda Tadyuki who won. In less than half a month, he really won the Northern Five Kingdoms.

Li Dingguo's [-] elite soldiers are deployed in the inner city of the mansion, and the mansion is at the bay. With the assistance of Cao Bianjiao's fleet, he is at ease.

The other 3000 people watched Kuroda Tadayuki and once again wiped out the five northern countries. The number of Kuroda Tadayuki's troops climbed to [-] with difficulty.

Tsushima Island.

Yang Sichang and the people in the staff department were deducing, and after getting Li Dingguo's battle report, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, marked two points on the sand table, and said: "Fat and Hyuga... record, order Dorgon to go north, attack Hyuga first, Li Set the country to respond. Zuo Liangyu, the tentative attack is thick, and the range of activities of Qingshan Zhongjun is compressed!"

Listening to Qian Jinxiao, he knew that Yang Sichang was going to hunt Qingshan Zhongjun with an army of [-] troops.

Chapter 1351 Mutation

Yang Sichang deduced the sand table behind his back, commanding the army dispatch, preparing to find Tadatoshi Aoyama and destroy the last force of the Tokugawa shogunate in Kyugoku Island.

But Tadatoshi Aoyama is not a vegetarian either. When Hei Tianzhongzhi annexed the five northern countries, the [-] army he had been hiding all along suddenly flew south from Kuma County in the Higo country and directly entered Kagoshima. The army quickly surrounded He lived in Kagoshima, and blocked Zuo Liangyu and Huashan Jiushou in Kagoshima, unable to get out.

At this time, Dorgon was still in Dayu across the sea, preparing to go north, but the [-] troops of Shanxian and Yiyi who had been shrinking suddenly appeared, blocking the Lianggai Mountains of the Bungou Domain, and stopped Dorgon. of the north.

Aoyama Tadatoshi's army surrounded but did not attack, and Shan County and Yiyi just defended against danger, as if they were determined to block the Ming army at Satsuma and Osumi.

When the Ming Dynasty was studying the purpose of these actions of the Wa Kingdom, Cao Bianjiao's fleet cruising near the Guanmen Strait observed anomalies again.

Zheng Zhilong is in charge of monitoring this place, and the big basket in the sky is non-stop day and night.

It was night, and a watching captain hurriedly invited Zheng Zhilong to a big basket, holding a binoculars, and said: "My lord, look, those places have been very quiet these few days. It seems to be the same as usual, but too It's been quiet. The general has tried it, and the security is heavily guarded there, which is very unusual. The general suspects that the Japanese navy is hiding here."

Another lieutenant said: "The general has already checked carefully. This Guanmen Strait is very unusual. Our fleet cannot enter easily, otherwise it may not be able to get out..."

Zheng Zhilong didn't pay attention to what the two said, he couldn't see anything in the binoculars, but the vague lights made him feel uneasy.

Zheng Zhilong put down the binoculars and said with a serious face, "What did the Military Intelligence Department say?"

"The Military Intelligence Department said that there are no pirates nearby, and their ships have been confiscated. The pirates don't know where they went. Also, the Military Intelligence Department said that Itakura Shigemasaki seems to have a special purpose here, but he has not yet Find out..." the captain said.

Zheng Zhilong felt more and more uneasy. Wa country has not made any big moves until now. Now Aoyama Zhongjun suddenly made an effort, and the Kanmon Strait connecting Honguk Island and Kyugoku Island is strange. What is Wa country planning?

Zheng Zhilong said: "Send a letter to the governor to ask the Military Intelligence Department to investigate carefully. We will also observe closely and ask for instructions on whether to conduct a tentative attack."

"Yes." The two captains responded.

When Zheng Zhilong's news reached Tsushima Island and Yang Sichang's hands, the information collected by the Military Intelligence Department from various places also quickly fell on Yang Sichang's desk.

The staff office, etc., deduced overnight, each with a very serious expression.

On the sand table, Qian Jinxiao said: "The governor, 3 people blocked Dorgon's way in Dasumi, Shanxian and Yiyi. I don’t know. The initial estimate of the troops coming from the Kanmon Strait is 2, and they may have increased their troops from the Mutsu Domain to resist our westward army from Ezo Island..."

Yang Sichang looked at the sand table and remained silent.

Another staff officer said: "Governor, we judged that the Japanese people have roughly figured out our situation, and are ready to seize the initiative and place the final battlefield on Jiuguo Island..."

"At least 3 people came in from the Kanmon Strait, and now they are approaching the inner city of the Bungo Domain. They are likely to go to Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo has only 1 people. Even if you add the soldiers of the Wa Kingdom, it is only [-]. I'm afraid It may not be able to stop it, the five northern countries may be lost from our hands..."

"There are arrangements for the navy in the Kanmon Strait, and it is now difficult to control. We are a step behind the Japanese country. If we can win the Kanmon Strait as soon as possible and cut off the connection between the island of the country and the island of Kukoku, the army of more than [-] troops of Tadatoshi Aoyama will be closed. Beat the dog..."

The staff officers obviously deduced a lot, carefully reviewing and analyzing the battle situation.

Yang Sichang stared at the sand table, and said: "The established plan of the Commander's Mansion is to wipe out the vital forces of the Wa Kingdom on Jiuguo Island. Although the battle situation has changed, the initiative is still in our hands..."

Holding a wooden stick in his hand, he pointed to the sand table and said, "No matter what Zhongjun Qingshan wants to do, we just need to push forward with our plan. Let him surround him if he wants to. Dorgon must break through Shan County and Yi's With Li Ding's opposition, and Li Ding's national division, and then eat the Japanese reinforcements coming in from the Kanmen Strait..."

Qian Jinxiao listened, and said: "Zuo Liangyu's 3 elite soldiers should be able to hold back [-] to [-] people, but Qingshan Zhongjun has a lot more available. He may also want to join the reinforcements and swallow Li Dingguo one by one. Dagon, and then Kagoshima..."

"He thinks beautifully!"

A staff officer snorted coldly and said: "Li Dingguo is in the inner city of the mansion. Even if there is not much food and grass, and there are not enough firearms, but with the support of the navy, it will definitely be fine for a year or so. The key now is for Dorgon to break through as soon as possible. As long as Dorgon's [-] army breaks through Shanxian and Yi's obstruction, Jiuguo Island will let him gallop, and Qingshan Zhongjun can't stop him at all!"

Yang Sichang glanced at them, straightened up, and said in a deep voice: "Order Dorgon, at any cost, to break through Shanxian County and Yi, and Li Ding Guoshi!"

"Yes!" Qian Jinxiao said straight away.

The strategy of the Ming Dynasty was very clear, and it was not disrupted by the Japanese kingdom. Feige sent letters to the four directions.

Dorgon on Dasumi Island received Yang Sichang's order and calmly looked down at Daishan, Duoduo and others.

Dai Shandao: "There are many mountains here, but few plains. The mountains and counties dare to block us because we have many cavalry, but we don't know that what we are best at is infantry combat."

Duoduo sneered, and said, "Brother, I will lead 1 people, and within an hour at most, I can crush Shan County and Yi, and break through two mountains!"

Man Dahai was more calm, and said: "There is water on both sides of us, and there is only one road in front of us. If we want to break through the two mountains as soon as possible, we need artillery."

It would undoubtedly make them heartbroken if they piled up their heads. After all, they didn't have many soldiers, and it was difficult to make up for their losses.

Dorgon listened, looked at Duo Duo, and said, "Oboi, how long is it?"

Dorgon's army itself has artillery, but it is uneven and of poor quality.In Aobai's hands, there is a [-] artillery regiment formed by the Jurchens.

Duoduo disliked Oboi very much, snorted coldly, and said: "Ming people buckled our cannon just to guard against us, that Oboi is naturally rebellious, what use is he to have!"

Dorgon ignored him and looked at Daishan.

Dai Shan said: "It should be soon, just in one or two days."
