Domineering Daming

Daishan, Mandahai and others shouted and rushed forward on horseback.

The [-] army behind him, like a tide, was about to kill the closed door.

At the same time, at the rear of the fortress, the [-] army also shouted and killed like thunder, shocking the sky.

Attacking back and forth, closing the door and dying, there was a sudden chaos, and there was no master.

On the top of the wall, Zhongjun Qingshan's face turned red, his chest swelled, his eyes opened angrily, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he shouted: "Itakura Shigemasa, you misled me!"

After finishing speaking, he fell straight down the city wall.

Inoue turned pale with fright, rushed over and was about to jump off.

Several famous people behind him quickly hugged him, shouted a few times, leaned over the city wall and looked down.

I saw Aoyama Zhongjun lying on the ground, twisted, motionless, his face was terribly pale, and he didn't know if he was still conscious.

On the opposite side is the surging army of the Ming Dynasty, and on the city wall are archers and iron gunners who are already ready.

"Dian, Dian..." Inoue struggled desperately, wanting to jump off.

But the big name grabbed him tightly and said: "Mr. Inoue, it is important to defend the city, the Ming army is about to kill it!"

"Mr. Inoue, the Ming army came up from behind, what should we do now?"

"Mr. Inoue, retreat quickly, get out from behind, and retreat to the other side..."

"Mr. Inoue, I can't take care of it anymore. If I don't leave, it will be too late..."

A group of daimyos were extremely annoyed with Qingshan Zhongjun, clamoring to withdraw and resist, how could they control Qingshan Zhongjun who had already fallen.

Inoue's six gods were in vain, and he wanted to save Aoyama Zhongjun, but the Ming army was already in front of him, so it was impossible.

"Qingshan Zhongjun is dead..."

Suddenly, there were bursts of shouts in the city.

"Aoyama Tadatoshi is dead, the shogunate is defeated..."

"Aoyama Tadatoshi is dead, the shogunate is defeated..."

The city was already in chaos because of being attacked from two sides. With these shouts, the chaos became more chaotic, and the minds of some daimyos became even more unpredictable.

"The emperor rectifies his name and destroys the shogunate!"

"The emperor rectifies his name and destroys the shogunate!"

"The emperor rectifies his name and destroys the shogunate!"

Suddenly, another shout sounded in the city, and these voices quickly joined together, resounding throughout the closed fortress.

Not long after, the gate of the fortress was suddenly opened, and a group of big names with bandages on their hands shouted loudly: "We surrender, down to the shogunate!"

At this time, the Ming army had already rushed in, and together with those who surrendered and those who were originally loyal to the emperor, they rushed into the Guanmen Fortress in one fell swoop.

The Guanmen Fortress was without a leader, and when it was about to be defeated, the army was defeated like a mountain, and it was quickly breached.

In half an hour, Dorgon entered the city with [-] soldiers from the closed fortress, quickly crossed the strait, and entered the opposite bank.

Dorgon's current army exceeds one hundred thousand, surging like a wolf like a tiger, breaking through the strait and heading straight to the opposite bank.

Within the Ming Dynasty, the name of the war was "to fight against the Japanese", but it has become "to fight against the curtain" for the Japanese country. Therefore, Dorgon crossed the Guanmen Strait and issued a war order to the opposite bank, which was "the emperor rectifies his name, Eliminate the shogunate, and the army will retreat without leaving a single soldier."

The Ming army was like a broken bamboo, and soon broke through the defense on the other side, quickly marched eastward, captured the Nagato Fan, and immediately divided the army.

Dorgon led the Jurchen cavalry, broke into Shi Jianfan, and marched eastward.

Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo led Shikoku Island, Jiuguo Island and the shogunate soldiers, with a total of nearly [-] troops. They first went south to capture Zhou Fangfan, and then marched eastward with Dorgon's army. The two armies totaled hundreds of thousands. In just half a day, the army captured six vassal states, and the troops were on the verge of preparing for the front line of the Izumo vassal.

The army is moving too fast and needs to rest and reorganize. It is also necessary to integrate the army and wait for the logistics to catch up to prevent the lone army from going deep.

Although the Ming army stopped temporarily, the shock caused by this quickly spread to Edo.

"What did you say, the door is about to fall?"

In the general's mansion, Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at Masakatsu Naito in shock, with disbelief on his face.

According to their previous estimates, Qingshan Zhongjun can last at least half a month, and it will take longer once the food and grass arrive.

It's only been a few days, six days?seven days?How can it be so fast?

Masakatsu Naito knelt on the ground with his head on the ground, motionless.

Fujita sat down on his knees, with the same astonishment on his face, it was too fast, the Ming army broke through the closed fortress so quickly, and even broke through six vassal kingdoms in a row!

More than [-] troops marched together and went straight to Edo. The crisis of the shogunate really came!

Tokugawa Iemitsu quickly calmed down, his expression changed, and he said, "Is there any way to stop the Ming army?"

Naito Masakatsu raised his head, and said in silence for a while, "Ming army marched in two directions, each with horns. If you want to stop it, you need at least [-] troops. Moreover, there is no danger to defend this way, and the Ming army is powerful. There are also sharp artillery, I am afraid it will be difficult to block..."

What he didn't say, and Tokugawa Iemitsu also knew in his heart that for this battle, the shogunate had already recruited more than 30 troops, and there were still [-] troops in the north to resist the possible southward movement of Ezo Island.

Let alone collecting [-] now, even [-] is very reluctant, not to mention, the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, the vassal states are clanging in poverty, and they have to face the raging civil uprising, and money and food are also a big problem!

Matsushita hurriedly continued, "Once the closed fortress is broken, the Ming army on Ezo Island will surely go south. That's an army of [-]. We have to fight on two fronts, so we need to spend more troops and money..."

Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was gloomy and terrifying, he looked at Fujita and said, "What can I do?"

Fujita looked up, looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu, and said, "The Ming army must be stopped, we need time."

Naito Masakatsu glanced at him and didn't say much.

The shogunate really needed time, it needed time to deploy a defense line against the Ming army, and it needed time to raise more food, grass, and samurai.

However, in this case, is it possible for the Ming army to stop?

According to the speed of the Ming army and the complicated situation in the belly of the Wa Kingdom, it is impossible to organize effective resistance. The Ming Army will be able to kill the Musashi Kingdom, that is, Edo, within five days at most!

This has not taken into account the Ming army on Ezo Island. If the Ming army on Ezo Island also goes south, there will be nearly 20 Ming troops. How can the current shogunate resist it!

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat there, his eyes dim and his expression unpredictable.

Naito Masakatsu was also thinking, thinking about the situation in Wa Kingdom, how can the Ming army be stopped.

However, Matsushita thought of Tokugawa Iemitsu's previous statement that the shogunate wanted to marry the emperor. This proposal should have been passed on to the Ming Dynasty, but Sakai Tadakatsu has not yet reported back, what is the attitude of the Ming Dynasty.

He didn't dare to mention that marrying the emperor, even if it was a puppet, would be a disgrace to the shogunate!
