Dark clouds rolled in the sky, but not a drop of rain fell. The blood could not be washed away and soaked the entire mountain.
Countless people were trampled back and forth in such bloody water, selflessly fighting.
If you don't want your own blood to be mixed into it, you have to kill the enemy in front of you.
Amakusa Tokisada came running quickly from a very far distance, looking a little angry.
"General Tang, please take action immediately. Our casualties are too heavy."
Tang Wenhuan was unmoved and his words were like ice.
"Our Xia army will not be dispatched."
"Why?"
Amakusa Tokisada was very dissatisfied with this answer.
Tang Wenhuan looked at his still immature face and meant something.
"Only when the young eagle leaves its mother's arms, beats and soars in the wind and rain, can it grow rapidly."
Amakusa Tokisada's expression changed several times.
He is a smart man and understands.
Although the Shimabara rebel army is very weak, they are fighting for themselves.
If you want to overthrow the oppressive feudal lords and truly stand up, you can only pass the test of blood and fire and complete Nirvana.
Although Xia Jun's help allowed them to win easily, the Shimabara rebel army could never grow into a strong warrior.
One day after the Xia army leaves, they will inevitably collapse quickly and eventually become the dust of the times.
Xia Jun's painstaking efforts made Amakusa Tokisada have mixed feelings.
"I'm sorry, I was too fragile and failed to live up to your high expectations. Please stay tuned, we will definitely win."
With a firm will, Tokisada Amakusa returned to the front line.
Here, Youemon, Zaemon and others are all looking forward to it.
"When will the Xia army attack?"
In the morning, Zhen's face was tense and her attitude was extremely determined.
"Can't we win without the help of others? How long will we need others' protection?"
When everyone in the Shimabara rebel army heard his accusation, they were all ashamed.
Amakusa Tokisada drew his sword and pointed it at the top of the mountain in the distance.
"I will lead the charge and chop off Matsudaira Nobutsuna's head. We fight for survival, we fight for dignity, we fight for the future, we... are invincible!"
His declaration aroused responses from all over the country.
The Shimabara rebels were all made up of bankrupt farmers. They had nothing left, so they had nothing to fear.
A more violent attack began.
The front line held by the shogunate army began to receive fierce attacks.
"General, I can't hold on anymore, please break out."
The subordinates ran over in panic and reported the battle situation.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna has long lost his former dignity and elegance. Although he is wearing a suit of carefully crafted armor, it has long been darkened and has lost its color.
There were wounds everywhere on his face, hands, and body. The dripping blood was slowly taking away his strength.
At this moment, Matsudaira Nobutsuna felt only endless sadness.
He knew very well that failure was inevitable.
Reinforcements have not come after so long, which proves that they will never come again.
Breakout?
Where can we go?
This is Kyushu Island, and it’s the Shimabara Peninsula where there is only one way out.
A complete dead end.
Since you can't break through, then fight!
Even if you die in battle, your honor as a warrior will not be tarnished.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna picked up his sword and stepped to the front.
"We are General Ooku's minions to conquer the city. We are the cornerstone of the shogunate's power throughout the world. Although we will die here now, no one can despise our bravery. General Ooku will definitely avenge us."
Today's Tokugawa shogunate is in a prosperous stage, so the shogunate's troops are fearless and their morale does not decrease even though they know they will die.
The brutal fighting entered the final stage.
The shogunate's army had not eaten for about ten days.
Although they are very brave and their fighting skills are far superior to those of the Shimabara Rebels, their lack of physical strength cannot be compensated for in any way.
As for the gap in military strength, it has reached a desperate level.
After this period of development, the total strength of the Shimabara Rebel Army has exceeded 100,000, and more and more poor people have joined in.
In today's Japan, this is enough power to change the world.
The shogunate's army was not afraid of death, but the Shimabara rebels who fought to overthrow the shogunate's brutal rule also had high morale.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna rushed left and right, waving his sword constantly, and he didn't know how many enemies he killed.
He only felt that his breathing was getting faster and faster, and the raising and lowering of his arms became slower and slower.
Finally, the sword was slashed again, but it was not raised.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna took a closer look and found that his sword was deeply embedded in the enemy's body and stuck in the bones.
He tried hard to draw the knife, but his weak strength made this move futile.
A sound of wind came from behind, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna wanted to avoid it. However, he staggered and was half a minute too late.
A sharp pain in his lower back made him tilt his head back, and the hand holding the handle of the knife slowly let go.
He turned around with difficulty and was shocked to find that the person who stabbed him with a spear turned out to be an ugly woman.
"Bagya Road!"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna was so angry that he could not believe that he, who had been so brave all his life, would die in the hands of a pariah woman.
He waved his palm, wanting to hit the panicked woman to show his majesty.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his arm, a cold light flashed and cut off his arm.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Then he saw a tall young man appear in front of him.
That young man's handsome and extraordinary face reminded him of something.
"You...you are that Tendo, right?"
The sword that Amakusa Tokisada was about to insert paused for a moment, and he also recognized the man in gorgeous armor in front of him, who must be Matsudaira Nobutsuna.
He changed his mind and put the blade on Matsudaira Nobutsuna's neck.
"The lackey of the shogunate, the devil who oppresses the people, only by cutting off your head can your sins be washed away."
When he heard that he was going to be beheaded, Matsudaira Nobutsuna's eyes were full of fear.
"No……"
Before he finished speaking, the sharp blade had already cut through him, separating his head from his body.
Amakusa Tokisada turned the blade, knocked his helmet away, and then inserted the tip of the blade into his eye.
Then he lifted Matsudaira Nobutsuna's head high.
"The general is dead, we win!"
The loud shouts silenced the battlefield, and both the enemy and ourselves looked over involuntarily.
After seeing his head clearly on the tip of the knife, the Shimabara rebels burst into wanton cheers out of thin air.
The morale of the shogunate army fell to the bottom, and many people actually threw away their weapons and chose to surrender.
The invincible shogunate army that swept across Japan was completely defeated at the hands of a group of peasants. This chapter has been completed!
