Beiyang new warlord

Feeling different from the chaotic tents just now, more than 1000 Ichikui people began to slowly appear behind the fleeing crowd of Ninomaru. Seeing them walking slowly with their swords in hand, Itakura Shigemasa looked dismissive changed.

Relying on the intuition of warriors, these people are by no means weak!

Before following the lord, many of Ma's vassals also believed in Catholicism. Ma Zongchun's repression and massacre scattered people's hearts. When he was transferred to Hinata, these retainers were not willing to follow him at all and stayed in the local area. This time Ichikui of the Catholic Church, many samurai and their descendants who have experienced the Warring States Period also joined the rebellion as the backbone.

"Baga! Bandou Team, Iron Gunners! Come on! Anyone who dares to disrupt the team will be executed on the spot!"

Feeling bad, Shigemasa Itakura organized the team impatiently like a lunatic. The sound of dense iron cannons could be regarded as calming down the army of the shogunate a little, but at this moment, the white-clothed samurai team who lined up slowly also stopped. At a distance of tens of meters from the shogunate, no one took off the big bow on their backs, and the rockets that were billowing black smoke pointed obliquely at the blue sky.

Standing at Honmaru's castle tower, the corner of Baiyi Tendo's mouth once again raised a sinister arc, and an illusory word came out of his mouth.

"Burning the world and purifying the fire, start!"

In Itakura Shigemasa's horrified expression, thousands of rockets with black tails landed in his own team. Some casualties were insignificant to him, but he was unbelievable!

behind!

The wooden bridge, the scattered houses of Ninomaru, and the bursts of fire that soared into the sky gathered together like a devil with claws and claws. On the bridge, the shogunate samurai who was on fire cried and howled, and finally fell into the ditch screaming. In the meantime, the Sanhe disciples who were still plundering frantically just now also threw away their helmets and armor, coughing and fleeing in all directions.

"So cruel!"

After trembling for a long time, Itakura Shigemasao shouted these words with difficulty.

Fire attack is not uncommon in military history, but it is a difficult time to die with the enemy even if you do not let yourself go In the castle, Amakusa Tokisada ordered that all the oil and firewood from Shino should be piled up in the Ninomaru Sannomaru, and had already planned to use the raging fire to decide the outcome.

In the streets, members of the Cross Ichiku who set fire to it by themselves knelt on the ground, prayed loudly and painfully, and finally disappeared into the flames screaming under the engulfing flames. .

On the hillside, under the leadership of the backbone composed of retainers and warriors, tens of thousands of Yikui soldiers wearing crosses on their heads rushed down frantically, facing the black smoke and flames soaring into the sky, on the Tianshou Pavilion, the boy in white clothes was agile and demonic. Hearing the shrill fighting sound in his ears, he suddenly raised his sword, and the shogunate general Shigemasa Itakura rushed into the crowd again.

"withdraw!"

Itakura Shigemasa's bravery is indeed qualified enough to support his recklessness. Even if he is in a tight siege, with the remaining Mikawa warriors, he can forcefully fight his way out of the fire. The Sanhe Legion, which had been in the city for a long time, reappeared under the fiercely burning Shimabara Castle, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who attacked in the morning, now there are only a little over [-] left. Thinking of the Haikou he boasted yesterday, Itakura Shigemasa burst into tears.

Kneeling on the ground, the old devil simply tore off his belt, exposing his stomach, pulled out his ribs fiercely and leaned over his stomach, holding his head up and shouting.

"Itakura Shigemasao has been entrusted by the general general, and he has no face to go back, and then apologizes by cutting open his stomach! Suzuki Juro, after I die, you will be the general, and bring the Mikawa Army back!"

"No way, general!"

Seeing that Itakura Shigemasa was about to cut his own belly with a knife for fun, more than a dozen of his retainers, Banner Ben, knelt down in panic, and tried to dissuade him in horror.

But just when Itakura Shigemasa lost all hope, real despair came again, and he grabbed his hand holding the rib cage suddenly, and Suzuki Juro, who was ordered by him to be his successor, pointed wildly behind him.

"General, look! Look!"

With the sea wind whistling, thousands of boats of all sizes appeared on the coastline at some point. The related boats include Xiaozao and flat sand boats. They all look like Japanese boats. However, the eight banners hanging high on each boat The banner of the Great Bodhisattva clearly conveyed a message to Shigemasa Itakura.

Lao Tzu is not one of us!

"Japanese pirates!!!"

Standing up with the blood-stained Taidao, Itakura Shigemasao roared in disbelief.

At the top of Shimabara Castle, the Tendo in white clothes stood on the top of the hole like a monster again.

Chapter 2. Destroy Your Hope

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: If you don't know yourself but don't know your enemy, if you don't fight, you will be idle!

Matsudaira Nobuzuna thought he had thoroughly studied Mao Jue on the opposite side, as well as Itakura Shigemasa under his command, but it turned out that he did not study any of them thoroughly. At that time, the old devil was so desperate that he almost knelt down and had his belly cut open.

The 1-strong Tokugawa family's elite Mikawa Legion was almost wiped out, and even worse news was brought. More than [-] Japanese pirates from the East China Sea had joined Amakusa Tokisada's Catholic Church.

It's really ironic that the Japanese pirates were used by Mao Jue as an excuse. In the end, the Japanese pirates actually became Mao Jue's trump card. A negligence, first eat him [-].

The situation, which was only in crisis, began to develop into collapse.

"Chief General, what, what should we do?"

"Itakura Shigesho lost his teacher and humiliated the country, the crime is seppuku!"

I have to admire, in terms of bravery, this Itakura Shigemasa is indeed one of the best generals under the command of the shogunate. He was ambushed by fire in the morning, and in the afternoon he took the remnant soldiers and fought with the East China Sea bandits who suddenly appeared on the sea for a whole afternoon. This guy is actually alive When he came back, he brought back about a thousand remnants and defeated generals.

It's just that bravery has an end. More than a dozen arrows were stuck in his body, and he was shot a few times. After returning to the Nagasaki camp, Itakura Shigemasa was directly carried in by someone. He was lying on the mat at this time and didn't know. dead or not.

The scholars and bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty don’t care how to solve the problem, first they shirk their responsibilities and criticize each other, the Japanese’s name, the retainers are not too strong, at this time, they don’t want to break out of the siege, they attack each other first, and make a fuss The Chinese army is as noisy as a market, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna is even more dizzy.

"idiot!"

It's really cheap, with a furious curse, a dozen daimyos in the room and the elders of his subordinates shut their mouths together, their eyes were red, the gentleness and elegance of the Izu think tank of the shogunate disappeared completely, biting people The dog growled like that with trembling cheeks.

"The battle hasn't been lost yet! Our army still has tens of thousands of shi of food. The core of the Kyushu Rebellion is these Tang bandits who came from afar. As long as they are wiped out, Yikui and ronin are the meat on the knife. This general order, Tomorrow morning, the whole army will be dispatched to fight to the death with Tang Kou, and try to defeat Tang Kou Ming in two days, and return to the army to suppress the rebellion!"

"Hay!"

A large group of old devils were kicked out of the Chinese army, even the half-dead Itakura Shigemasa was carried away, and Matsudaira Nobuzuna was left alone in the tent, and the uncontrollable anger just broke out again When he came out, there was another eight-quat sound, he pulled out the samurai sword from the scabbard, and the hero of the Yusan family swung the knife at the table like a madman, and slashed across the table.

With a refreshing click, the table was divided into two halves, and the messy brushes on it were scattered all over the floor. Along with these things, there was also the fighting spirit of this Tokugawa think tank. He could no longer calm down after a series of changes. .

But this person is really decisive enough, knowing where the turning point is, he didn't hesitate at all. Only early the next morning, more than 9 Japanese troops opened up the battle line again. Go out of the barracks, gather into six large square formations, and attack while shouting.

"It came just in time!"

There are more than 9 people, no boundaries, not to mention a large army of [-], rounded up to hundreds of millions, the morning sun shines past, and countless weapons reflect a cold light like a mountain of knives. Then he followed his subordinates out of the camp and saw the overwhelming footsteps, even Mao Jue felt dizzy and rubbed his forehead.

"He has to hesitate for two or three days. Even if Zhuge is still alive, he won't be able to turn the tables. He was defeated yesterday and launched a fierce attack today regardless of the consequences. This Nobuzuna Matsudaira is really talented!"

"General, how shall we fight?"

Don't look at the overwhelming number of Japanese people, the few idiots in Dongjiang Tieyi Town have no fear at all, on the contrary, they are holding their fingers one by one, calculating how many heads can be beheaded today, and how much military merit can be exchanged when they go back, eagerly, Geng Zhongming This guy was still excitedly clasping his fists to fight, but Mao Jue's eyes were black from holding his breath.

"Fight against your sister! This is what I have! Who the hell is going to fight this gang of little devils? Send me a military order, and the three armies will retreat and return to Tucheng!"

"But, General, aren't we going out of the city to fight these little devils to the death?"

Still not reconciled, Pang Pang Hai asked eagerly there, this time Mao Jue didn't even bother to explain.

"General Pang's courage can be increased! I will give you 20 people to kill the army, and the second regiment will be withdrawn for me!"

Without turning his head, Mao Jue walked back directly, and stood there in a daze for a long time, watching all the bastards patted his shoulders, looked around sympathetically, and followed his general back to Tucheng swaggeringly, Geng Zhongming This guy even boasted that he would help him take care of his newly married concubine, etc. After a few seconds, Pang Pang Hai finally woke up sadly.

"General! Little one, I dare not!"

It was still a joke just now, but it became a reality in the blink of an eye. This time it can be regarded as Mao Jue’s command error. I didn’t expect the Japanese soldiers to come so decisively. At this time, the bright tent used to pretend to show off their wealth has become a reality again. It's cumbersome, before the dismantling of the camp is completed, the other side has already killed the edge of the trench in Luzhai.

Pang Dahai and Geng Zhongming were sent to the back together to become the guard team, but at least they didn't send 20 people, but the whole second regiment stayed behind. The Pang Dahai group, who was still languid just now, seemed to have become a team again. Like a live tiger.
