Chapter 1382 City Break

This signal gun resounds inside and outside the Shugmen Strait, and you can see it when you look up.

When Dorgon saw the signal gun, he felt relieved. He pulled out the knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Surprise the city!"

"kill!"

Daishan, Mandahae and others shouted loudly and rushed forward on their horses.

The 50,000 troops behind him were heading towards the closing door like a tide.

At the same time, in the rear of the fortress, ten thousand troops shouted and shouted as thunder, shocking the sky.

The front and back attacked, and the door was about to close and the chaos suddenly became uncontrollable.

Aoyama Tadatsuto on the top of the city turned green red, his chest was bulging, his eyes were wide open, and suddenly a mouthful of blood was spurted out, and he shouted: "Ichikura Shigemasa, you misled me!"

After saying that, he fell straight down the city wall.

Inoue was shocked and rushed over and was about to jump down.

The few big names behind him hugged him, shouted a few times, and looked down over the city wall.

I saw Tadatsushi Aoyama lying on the ground, his body twisted, motionless, and his face was terrible. I wonder if he still had any consciousness.

Opposite was the surging Ming Dynasty army, and the city walls were archers and iron gunners who had already been ready.

"Dian, hall..." Inoue struggled desperately, trying to jump down.

But Daming held him tightly and said, "Mr. Inoue, defending the city is important, the Ming army is about to come!"

"Inoue-kun, Ming Jun came up from behind, what should I do now?"

"Kun Inoue, retreat quickly, fight out from behind and retreat to the other side..."

"Inoue-kun, I can't take care of it anymore. If you don't leave, it's too late..."

A group of daimyos were extremely annoyed at Tadatsutsu Aoyama, and they all shouted that they wanted to withdraw their troops and resist them. They could not care about Tadatsutsu Aoyama who had fallen.

Inoue Liushen was unruly, and he was determined to save Tadashi Aoyama, but Ming army was already in front of him, so it was impossible.

"Taitoto Aoyama is dead..."

Suddenly, bursts of shouts came from the city.

"Aoyama Tadatsuki died, the shogunate was defeated..."

"Aoyama Tadatsuki died, the shogunate was defeated..."

The city was already in chaos because it was attacked from both sides. With these shouts, it became even more chaotic, and the minds of some daming were even more unpredictable.

"The Emperor corrects his name and destroys the shogunate!"

"The Emperor corrects his name and destroys the shogunate!"

"The Emperor corrects his name and destroys the shogunate!"

Suddenly, another shout sounded in the city, and these sounds quickly connected into a circle, resounding throughout the gate-closed fortress.

Not long after, the gate of the fortress was suddenly opened, and a group of famous men tied bandages and shouted loudly: "Let us surrender and defeat the shogunate!"

At this time, the Ming army had already rushed in, gathering the surrendered people and those who were originally loyal to the Emperor, and entered the Closing Fortress in one fell swoop.

The fortress closed, and the enemy was defeated and was soon defeated.

Half an hour later, Dorgon entered the city and led 30,000 surrendered soldiers in the Fortress, quickly crossed the strait and rushed to the other side.

Dorgon's army now exceeds 100,000, with a surging momentum, like a wolf or a tiger, breaking through the strait and rushing straight into the other side.

Within the Ming Dynasty, the name of the war was "anti-Japanese war", but the war against Japan had become "anti-Japanese war". Therefore, Dorgon issued a war order to the other side of the shore by crossing the Guanmen Strait, "the emperor corrected his name, eliminated the shogunate, and retreated successfully without leaving a single soldier."

The Ming army was unstoppable and quickly broke through the defense of the other strait, advanced eastward quickly, captured the Changmen Phantom, and the army immediately divided its troops.

Dorgon led the Jurchen cavalry to attack Ishimiya and advance eastward.

Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo led the Shikoku Island, Jiuguo Island and the shogunate surrendered soldiers, with a total of nearly 50,000 troops. They first went south to capture the Zhou Fangfan, and then advanced together with Dorgon's army and advanced eastward. The two armies had a total of more than hundreds of thousands, and were unstoppable. In just half a day, the army captured six vassal states, and the troops were about to prepare, and Izumo's front line.

The army is moving too fast and needs rest and recuperation. It also needs to integrate the army and wait for the logistics to follow to avoid going deeper alone.

Although the Ming army temporarily stopped, the vibration caused by this quickly reached Edo.

"What did you say? I'm going to be lost when I close the door?"

At the General's Mansion, Tokugawa's family looked at Masaka Naito in front of him in shock, with disbelief on his face.

According to their previous estimates, Tadashi Aoyama can last at least half a month, and the food will last longer as soon as it arrives.

Only a few days, six days, seven days? How could it be so fast?

Naito Masakaku knelt on the ground, his head against the ground, motionless.

Fujita, Matsu, kneeling down, his face as shocked as if it was too fast. The Ming army broke through the closed fortress so quickly and even broke through six vassal states in a row!

More than 100,000 troops advanced together and headed straight to Edo. The crisis of the shogunate is truly coming!

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

Naito Masakakura raised his head, silently said, "The Ming army advances and supports each other. If you want to stop it, you must have at least a hundred thousand troops. Moreover, there is no danger to defend along the way. The Ming army has strong combat power and sharp artillery, which is probably difficult to stop..."

What he didn't say, Tokugawa Iemitsu also knew in his heart that for this battle, the shogunate had recruited more than 300,000 troops, and 70,000 in the north were still resisting the possible southward movement of Ekima Island.

Now let alone collecting 100,000, even 50,000 is very difficult. What's more, the autumn harvest has not arrived yet, and the vassal states are so poor that they have to face the surging civil unrest. Money and food are also a big problem!

Panasonic hurriedly continued, saying: "As soon as the fortress is closed, the Ming army on Heiyi Island will inevitably go south. That is a 60,000 army. We have to face the battle on both sides and draw more troops and money and food..."

Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was gloomy and terrible. He looked at Fujita and said, "What's the solution?"

Fujita looked up, looked at Tokugawa Iehiko and said, "We must stop the Ming army, we need time."

Naito Masaka looked at him without saying much.

The shogunate does take time, time to arrange a resistance front against the Ming army, and even more time to raise more food and grass, samurai.

But, in this case, may the Ming army stop?

At the speed of the Ming army and the complex situation in the Japanese country, effective resistance could not be organized at all. At most, the Ming army could reach Musashi Country, namely Edo!

This has not yet considered the Ming army on Heiyi Island. If the Ming army on Heiyi Island also headed south, it would be nearly 200,000 Ming troops. What should we do to resist the current shogunate?

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat there, his eyes were faint and his face was unpredictable.

Naito Masao was also thinking about the situation in Japan, and there was a way to stop the Ming army.

However, Panasonic 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 Tadashi Sakai had not yet reported it back. What was the attitude of the Ming Dynasty?

He didn't dare to mention it. Even if it was a puppet, it would be a shame to the shogunate!

Without mentioning it, Tokugawa Iemitsu also thought of it. He looked at Masaka Naito and said, "Can we negotiate directly with the generals of the Ming Dynasty?"

Naito Masakatsu was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said, "Their recruitment is on Tsushima. If there is enough price, it should be able to induce the frontline generals to stop and gain some time."
