But there is no such thing as Wa country, and they have been playing hide and seek.

At the same time, Tadatoshi Aoyama had entered the Hizen Domain, and the [-] troops were scattered, concealed, and still hiding.

Kanmon Strait.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at the sea, and the telescope turned slowly.

Standing beside him, Itakura Shigemasa said cautiously: "Songpingdian, I have conducted a thorough investigation. The navy of the Ming Dynasty has really retreated, and it is turning back to Tsushima Island. It is estimated that the food and grass are exhausted, and we need to rest for a while. .”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna glanced at him and said, "Do you know the secrets in the strait?"

Itakura Shigemasa has been here for so long, how could he not notice it, he said cautiously: "Yes, the villain already knows that there is a navy here."

Itakura Shigemasa's life was temporarily saved, he was extremely cautious in front of Matsudaira Nobuzuna, and put on a bottom posture.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna glanced at him with a smile, and said: "Itakura-kun still has something to offer, I will explain it to the public in detail, there is no need to be nervous."

Itakura Shigemasa smiled stiffly, but he didn't dare to be careless.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna said: "I will lead the navy to leave tonight. What you have to do is to take the opportunity to leave the city in three days' time, raid the Ming army, and go to the Hizen domain to join Izumori."

Itakura Shigemasu was startled, and then said uneasy: "However, the Ming army has an ambush outside the city, and if I leave, the city will be empty. Once the Ming army takes over, the consequences will be very serious..."

Nobuzuna Matsudaira knew that Itakura Shigemasa had been hit hard these days, and his mentality was severely frustrated, so he said calmly: "I have my own arrangements, you should make preparations."

Itakura Shigemasashi had no choice but to respond, "Yes."

Chapter 1365 The Battle Is Coming

Three days later, Dorgon's army finally broke through Yutu City.

This result was the result of Dorgon's army also participating in the attack, and naturally suffered a lot of losses.

Duo Duo became furious and led the army to rampage in Utu County. Anyone who resisted even a little bit would be killed. The bloody killing quickly expanded and spread out of Uto County. Dorgon's army directly went to Kumamoto.

Dorgon and Zuo Liangyu's army combined nearly [-] troops and swept across the entire fat domain. The cavalry attacked everywhere, killing endlessly, but they never found Qingshan Zhongjun's [-] troops.

Dorgon and other institutional affairs changed, so he hurriedly revised the book to Yang Sichang.

When Dorgon's letter arrived at Tsushima Island, another piece of news arrived at the same time.

Qian Jinxiao and He Xilian stood in front of Yang Sichang's case with solemn expressions.

He Xilian said: "My lord, judging from the monitoring situation in the Guanmen Strait, at least 3 people entered the side of Jiuguo Island, and they belonged to Shigemasa Itakura. The purpose is unknown."

Before Wa Kingdom let the Ming Dynasty eat up a lot of troops step by step, but never made a big move. Now that Jiuguo Island has been completely controlled by the Ming army, but they have transferred troops from their own islands. What is Wa Kingdom going to do?

Qian Jinxiao's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and he said: "The governor, perhaps, the true purpose of the Wa kingdom will be revealed."

The reason why it is dignified is that once the plan of the Japanese kingdom is revealed, it may be the most dangerous moment for the Ming army.

Yang Sichang looked at the map in front of him and frowned. They had been speculating on the purpose of the Wa Kingdom, but they still haven't found it yet.

He Xilian looked at Yang Sichang and reminded: "My lord, if more troops are added to the Guanmen Strait Fortress, Li Dingguo will not only be useless, but will be in danger."

Seeing that Yang Sichang was still silent, Qian Jinxiao said, "My lord, the opinion of the staff office is that Dorgon should go north quickly and form horns with Li Dingguo to prevent the danger of being destroyed..."

Yang Sichang stared at the map and didn't speak for a long time. Before Qian Jinxiao finished speaking, he said directly: "The order: Li Dingguo continued bombardment, and ordered Zuo Liangyu and Huashan Jiushou to lead the army to go south to wipe out the resistance from all over the country. Power, Dorgon is stationed in Kumamoto, don't act rashly!"

Both Qian Jinxiao and He Xilian opened their eyes, and then looked at each other. Qian Jinxiao said: "My lord, will this be very dangerous?"

Dorgon had 5 people, Li Dingguo had 1 people, and the Japanese shogunate army had more than [-]!

Yang Sichang stood up, with a calm expression, and said: "No matter what the purpose of the Tokugawa shogunate is, we can only respond to all changes with the same! As long as Dorgon's nail is still in Jiuguo Island, we will not lose no matter what. .Send Ezo Island to make a southward attack posture and continue to put pressure on the Wa country!"

Qian Jinxiao listened, stood up abruptly, and said, "Yes!"

Seeing this, He Xilian said, "My lord, we still have a lot of stalkers in Japan, and there are quite a few big names who have taken refuge in us. Even if they are still ignorant, they can take advantage of them. Will the Military Intelligence Department make a move?"

Yang Sichang said: "It's not the time yet, by the way, what's going on in Edo?"

He Xilian said: "Information just came, it is said that the army of the shogunate surrounded the imperial palace, causing quite a shock in Japan, some people are taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, Tokugawa Iemitsu killed many people."

Yang Sichang was not surprised, and said: "Pay attention to it, it is related to my Ming Dynasty's plan to rule the Wa Kingdom, and the emperor of the Wa Kingdom can't have anything to do!"

"Yes!" He Xilian and Qian Jinxiao responded loudly.

The order of Tsushima Island spread quickly, and the Ming army on Jiuguo Island moved quickly. Zuo Liangyu, Huashan Jiushou and the surrendered vassal states surrendered troops, sweeping the entire Jiuguo Island.

Li Dingguo's shelling rhythm in the Guanmen Strait fortress continued to increase. With ammunition support, thousands of cannons unscrupulously poured ammunition, as if to raze the fortress to the ground.

Hei Tianzhong's 1 people have arrived, taking orders from Li Dingguo.

Heitian Zhongzhi observed for several days, finally found Li Dingguo, and said very seriously: "My lord, I suspect that Itakura Shigemasa may have some action."

Li Dingguo's binoculars were observing the fortress of the Guanmen Strait, he was startled when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "How do you know?"

Heitian Zhongzhi said seriously: "Before the shogunate army took action, there was a sign that they would collectively swear an oath. Although it was done in a covert manner, they were already doing it. This means that they will take action soon."

Li Dingguo listened to his words, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and said for a long time: "You mean, Itakura Zhongchang will leave the city?"

Hei Tianzhong bowed and said: "Yes. I suspect that Qingshan Zhongjun is not far away, and they are going to join forces."

Li Dingguo expressionless, said: "Then tell me, what will they do next?"

Hei Tianzhong said: "The villain suspects that their target is Dorgon. As long as Dorgon is cut off, they will not be a threat."

Li Dingguo looked at him, did not speak, and shook his head secretly.

If Aoyama Tadatoshi wants to fight Dorgon decisively, there are plenty of opportunities, and there is no need to delay until now, let alone when the Ming army has an absolute advantage and its morale is high.

Li Dingguo thought about the situation in Jiuguo Island, and also considered the situation of the entire Wa Kingdom, his brows were full of puzzlement.

He encountered the same problem as Yang Sichang and others. What was the reason for the Wa country to sacrifice so much?

If you want a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, you don't need to be so condescending, but if you don't fight decisively, how can you win this battle?

Li Dingguo couldn't figure it out, so he stared at the fortress again, thought for a long time, and said, "What do you think we should do now?"

Heitian Zhongzhi said: "My lord, set up an ambush! Although Itakura Shigemasa has 6 people, he only dares to use 2 at most. We have [-] people, so we have a good chance of defeating it!"

Hei Tianzhongzhi has considerable confidence in the fighting power of the Ming army. After all, not long ago, Li Dingguo used 1 people to forcibly defeat Itakura Shigesho with an army of [-]!

Now they have artillery, there are more people, there is an ambush, there is no reason why they can't win!

Li Dingguo judged Heitian Zhongzhi's level in his heart, thought again for a while, and said: "Send an order to stop the shelling. The artillery array is withdrawn, and the ambush location is changed."

"As ordered!"
