Domineering Daming

Li Dingguo straightened up, and said expressionlessly: "Whether you can keep your head depends on your performance in this battle. Go prepare, we will start the war soon."

"It's the general!" Hei Tianzhong was overjoyed, kowtowed again, and hurriedly went to prepare.

The lieutenants and school lieutenants were outraged and thought they wanted to kill Hei Tianzhongzhi.

Li Dingguo looked at them and said, "We only have 1 people, and now we need 1 people from Hei Tianzhong."

Everyone stopped talking. Indeed, Itakura Shigemasa's 3-strong army was approaching, and Aoyama Tadatoshi's 5-strong army might not be far away.

Li Dingguo looked outside, with a stern expression and calm eyes, and said: "The whole army, we will go out of the city tonight and ambush Itakura Shigesho!"

"Yes!"

This time, the generals did not make a sound, and said in a solemn voice with a military salute.

Li Dingguo waved his hand, and continued to look at the map, guessing where Itakura Shigemasa might be and where the ambush might be.

Chapter 1355 Fighting

Li Dingguo took his 1 people, plus the 1 people recruited by Heitian Zhongzhi, and quietly left the inner city of the mansion. There were a number of people, from south to north, day and night.

But on the second day, they stopped.

On a mountain top, a large basket was lifted into the air without a sound, and was hurriedly withdrawn after a while. A school captain hurried to Li Dingguo's side and said, "My lord, they should be within twenty miles, but the specifics are still unknown." It's hard to find, there are traces of them staying, the stove is still smoking, and they haven't gone far."

Li Dingguo and others cheered up, and said: "Order the whole army to be on alert, not to move rashly, and continue to investigate!"

"Yes!" The captain hurried away.

Li Dingguo's 2 people quickly fell silent, observing all directions carefully, and remained motionless.

On a mountain not far from them, Itakura Shigemashi held a telescope and looked in Li Dingguo's direction.

Dayu Shengyi beside him, with a sneer on his face, said: "Dian, this helper Ming is really ignorant and fearless, dare to walk recklessly in our Jiuguo Island!"

Itakura Shigemasa put down the binoculars and said, "Izumori, where are you now?"

Dayou Shengyi said: "We should be in the Bungou Domain. Qingshandian knows that Shan County and Yi can't stop the Ming army from Osumi, so they should block them and buy us time. Then we will go south and annihilate the Ming army!"

Wa's strategy is equally clear, which is to eliminate the main force of the Ming army on Jiuguo Island and regain the initiative on the battlefield!

Itakura Shigemashi put down the binoculars and said indifferently, "Is the Xiyi Cannon ready?"

Dayou Shengyi said: "They came a little early, and the position is not right. This leader should have some ability, but we have already blocked their way, and the Xiyi artillery is enough..."

The Ming army on the opposite side has only 1 people, and the 1 people that Kuroda Tadayuki put together are not in their eyes at all.

Itakura Shigemasu's face was gloomy and cold, his eyes exuded fierceness, and said: "Send the order, no one will be left behind, and the cannon will be fired in a quarter of an hour!"

"Yes!" Otomo Katsuichi was full of excitement and ruthlessness, and turned to deliver the order.

Their current army is not a joint army of many daimyos, but a pro-vassal from the shogunate, a pro-army of the Tokugawa family, well-trained and rich in combat experience, second to none in Japan!

Itakura Shigemasa had suppressed the resentment and unwillingness for too long in his heart. Looking at the hillside where the Ming army was hiding, the sternness in his eyes became more serious.

Li Dingguo hid behind the hillside, watching the four directions, not knowing that he was discovered, and was studying the map.

Boom boom boom!

All of a sudden, shells landed on their hillside without warning, and they thought about it one after another.

The face of a group of captains changed greatly, and said: "My lord, this is a trap, we have been discovered!"

Li Dingguo reacted faster than them. He quickly rushed to a high point, took a telescope, and quickly compared it on the map. According to the position of the cannon, he quickly found the position of Itakura Shigemasa's ambush.

The important thing is that Itakura Shigemasa's army has rushed over, showing signs of encirclement.

A group of school lieutenants' scalps are numb, they have been tricked!If they are buried here, it will have a major impact on this battle against the Japanese!

They all looked at Li Dingguo nervously, waiting for his decision.

The best strategy now is to let Heitian Zhongzhi end, and they retreat quickly. As long as they can retreat to the inner city of the mansion, they can breathe a sigh of relief and make a long-term plan.

"My lord, let's make a decision, we can't delay!" said the lieutenant general.They didn't bring artillery, and they didn't even have many firearms. Their purpose this time was to ambush Shigemasa Itakura, but they didn't expect to be ambushed instead.

"Yes, my lord, if we don't make a decision, we won't be able to leave!" said a captain.Although Shigemasa Itakura launched an attack and started to encircle them, this also shows that it was not Shigemasa Itakura's inherent plan, it was an encounter, but Shigemasa Itakura discovered them earlier.

"My lord, we can't have anything to do, otherwise it will ruin the plan of Governor Yang, and if the court investigates, we will all be imprisoned!" Another school captain said.Itakura Shigesho has an elite army of 1, and they only have [-] plus Hei Tianzhongzhi's miscellaneous soldiers, plus they were ambushed again, so there is no chance of winning!

Others persuaded Li Dingguo to make up his mind and make a decision. They had the same meaning inside and outside the words, that is, to order him to retreat immediately without any further delay.

Li Dingguo looked at the shells, listened to the increasingly dense footsteps, and felt the trembling mountains, with a calm expression, and said: "We are going to retreat now, and Itakura Shigemasu will definitely chase after us. This is the country of Wa. If there is another ambush on the way, Even if we get lost, our entire army may be wiped out..."

"That can't wait for them to encircle. If we withdraw in time, there are other ways, we can't delay..."

"Yes, my lord, if you delay any longer, I really won't be able to leave..."

"My lord, that's the only way to go. Let Heitian Zhongzhi end and buy us time. Even if we set up an formation in the back, as long as you give us a little, we may still be able to retreat..."

"You guys are thinking too well."

Li Dingguo was still calm as usual, and said: "If we withdraw, we will be defeated. No one can save us. We are doomed to die in the Bungou Domain. Don't take any chances. Our only way out now is to break through the siege head-on. !"

The faces of the lieutenant general and several school lieutenants changed drastically, and they were astonished.In the face of menacing enemies, do not avoid their edge, but also face up to difficulties?

The reason why Li Dingguo is still wasting time is to convince the captains who lead the army. He felt that the next shell was about to fall on his head, so he said patiently: "Besides this, we have no other way. If we really If the Wa Kingdom pretends that we are close to Dorgon or other troops and conducts a surprise attack, it is very likely that the battle situation of the entire Jiuguo Island will change drastically, not only at the behest of Governor Yang The Japanese plan, the strategy of the commander-in-chief, and the great cause of the emperor will all suffer serious setbacks... We will be eternal sinners of Ming Dynasty!"

Li Dingguo's words made the lieutenant and captain feel cold all over, and his eyes struggled for a while.

Li Dingguo pulled out the knife at his waist, with firm gaze, said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, the whole army will attack, face the enemy head-on, and never stop!"

"Yes!" The lieutenant, the lieutenant straightened his body almost instinctively, and then quickly turned around to organize the army.

They also understand that now, their only way of survival is to fight out from the front, otherwise they will be swallowed up step by step. In this strange foreign land, there will be no one left!

Li Dingguo and Kuroda Tadayuki's 2 people quickly prepared for battle, and then faced the artillery fire and rushed towards Itakura Shigemasa's army that had already surrounded them.

This move of the Ming army shocked the shogunate names, which was completely unexpected.

Even Itakura Shigemasawa was stunned, with a cold and cruel face, and said: "Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you, order, press all of them, don't leave a single one!"

Itakura Shigesho's 3 people and Li Dingguo's 2 people quickly joined in. Except for the initial collision of hot weapons, the next step was the fight of cold weapons.

5 people, in a small forest, entangled together, strangled fiercely, shouted and shook the sky, and the evil spirit was dry.

Chapter 1356 Fighting at Exhaustion

Li Dingguo took the lead and led the army to fight hard.
